Chapter 407: Picking up the Pieces

Guo Kang's judgment was not wrong, and among the minions, several people with firearms and crossbows soon appeared, searching for targets everywhere.

"I know that our armor ban is just an ornament, a decree prohibiting military firearms and crossbows, that is, copying the Central Plains, but it can't be implemented." Guo Kang took advantage of the effort to hide back and complained to Guo Ponu: "But isn't this just a gangster—oh, it's still part of a small gang." How did they get so much stuff? ”

"Who made this the capital." Guo Ponu disagreed: "Those who can run forces here have more or less some connections with the nobles." The ban was of course useless. ”

"Hey, that's a hassle." Guo Kang shook his head and glanced at the side, and another person with a short-barreled hand cannon ran over and shot him over with an arrow. The others still haven't figured out where the attack is coming from, and they're still scurrying around.

And Guo Ponu's speed is much faster than him. Guo Kang looked at her for a moment and found that every time she showed her head, she would definitely be able to kill two or three people. The only thing that affects her killing speed is probably to guard against enemy shooters, otherwise with this average rate of about one arrow per second, the area of enemies in front of her can be quickly emptied by her.

Guo Kang gradually felt that this noisy environment was not so nervous.

He lived here for several years and was often required to attend large ceremonies and banquets. Because the elders generally believe that he is the most eloquent person of this generation, he sometimes has to make some polite words as a representative. Therefore, for a noisy environment, he is no longer so frightened.

But this kind of atmosphere of a large number of people on the other side, and they are all aggressive and want to kill themselves, can indeed give people a lot of oppressive power. Even if you know that your side won't lose, you can't help but want to distance yourself and worry about being surrounded.

He has been able to persist until now, mainly because of his sense of responsibility. After all, the whole thing was proposed and planned by himself, and the purpose of coming to the front line in person was to strengthen the determination of others and let everyone see that he wanted to seriously promote this matter and make a request to himself. To be honest, it has nothing to do with courage.

Moreover, although the distance between the two sides is actually not too far, the pressure of archery to kill the enemy is still much easier than the face-to-face fight just now.

After being able to control his emotions more or less, he felt that this moderate tension was a good thing, allowing him to exert more strength—when he first got the bow, he still felt hard, but now he doesn't feel anything.

Even if I knew that this was a psychological effect, I was not in the mood to think so much about it when I actually picked up the bow and aimed at the enemy.

He walked around the shacks in the area, constantly shifting places. Although there are many people on the other side, they don't know where he is. A few people stupidly came to chase him with iron forks and axes, but they were all easily shot to death by Guo Ponu from behind. And he searched everywhere for key enemies, and when he saw someone who seemed to be directing someone, he gave him an arrow.

The advantage of this bow is that it is relatively strong. The arrows it was equipped with were long and thick, and at this distance they were more than enough to pierce through the tattered armor.

Although most of the gang members are also doing their best to accumulate protective gear, what they wear is nothing more than thickened leather and rusty armor pieces that come from nowhere, and some even tie wooden planks to their bodies, which is considered armor. In the face of such obstacles, of course, there is no big problem.

Even if there is really a leader with regular armor to protect himself, he can basically kill him with one blow if he shoots at the weak point. With this method, he shot several of the most obvious targets in quick succession, adding to the confusion of the enemy.

Of course, he is not the only one who has no bottom in his heart. Most of the enemies are also afraid of them. In the face of an attack, many people's first reaction is not to fight back, but to find a place to hide.

The enemies that Guo Kang encountered at various intersections would not all rush up immediately - most people would shrink back when they saw him, try to confront him, and then call for others to rush first. Once the person who hit the head was shot to death by Guo Kang, the remaining few would also flee back immediately.

After the enemy was in chaos, the two knights behind the firewood pile on the opposite side jumped out and rushed directly into the enemy's ranks. The two of them covered each other, and relying on a heavy armor, they actually made it impossible for a large circle of enemies to get close.

There were also archers with crossbows and muskets, but the place was flat. Those bamboo shacks were of so poor quality that they couldn't stand on people's feet, so they couldn't find a position where they could shoot from a high position through the crowd. If you want to attack them, you can only get as close as possible. But as long as you get close, you will be shot to death by Guo Ponu as soon as you show your head.

The only place that can be considered high is probably the garbage mountain. There were indeed people who ran over there and wanted to climb up to have a look, but when one came, one was hammered down by the priest behind the garbage heap. After losing two men, the gang only took their own home-made bows and arrows, and shot them indiscriminately in this direction, never to come forward again.

Moreover, the enemy's resilience is also very bad, and a group of people will crowd around. Either everyone huddles forward or scrambles backwards. Not only did they fail to give full play to their numerical superiority, but they also hindered each other, and their weapons could not be wielded. Soon, they lost faith and scattered.

As the commanders fell to the ground one after another, most of the gang abandoned the siege target and began to flee instinctively. Guo Kang then looked back and forth, wanting to confirm whether they were really going to run away.

However, he turned around a shack and just leaned out to look when he suddenly noticed someone kneeling on the side of the road. Seeing Guo Kang, the man immediately raised his hand and slashed at him diagonally.

Fortunately, Guo Kang was prepared in advance, and immediately retracted, making him split. The man jumped up and staggered over. Only then did Guo Kang discover that this was the leader who was shot down by Guo Ponu at the beginning. He was only hit by an arrow in the leg, but he was not killed, and he didn't know when he came here, and he happened to be hit by himself.

At this distance, Guo Kang didn't have time to pull the bow and accumulate strength, he took a few steps back again, threw the bow and arrow aside, took advantage of the other party's limp slower than him, reached out and took out the gun, pointed it at the man's chest, and directly pulled the trigger.

After a few moments, nothing happened.

Not to mention Guo Kang, even the leader was stunned. However, both of them quickly reacted, and Guo Kang threw the pistol over and smashed it directly into his face. Not to mention anything else, the handle was indeed heavy and hard, and it directly smashed the leader with a scream.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Kang pulled out his sword and pounced on it to stab. And the other party also showed extremely high resilience at the moment of life and death, endured the pain and swung the knife again, wanting to fight with Guo Kang to the end.

Guo Kang hurriedly turned sideways and let his knife slash at the thick chest and abdomen armor. The man didn't know if he was stimulated, but the force was extremely strong, and although there was no harm, he still took a step back. And Guo Kang's sword was also pierced on the iron armor on his chest, and he couldn't get in with a hard push, so he could only take advantage of the situation to withdraw it.

However, the other party was even more fierce than him, and regardless of the injured leg, he rushed over again and leaned down and slashed at the unarmored calf. Guo Kang retreated again, and he also swung his knife again. It seems to be on the head, and the movements are getting faster and faster, leaving no chance to react at all.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed from the side and squeezed Guo Kang aside. He hurriedly looked over and saw Guo Ponu stretching out his arm and using his arm armor to directly swing the blow. The leader turned his wrist and tried to continue slashing, but Guo Ponu rushed head-on, and a sword was plunged into his throat diagonally above, and the tip of the sword broke through the entire neck, revealing a long section behind his back.

The leader's knife fell to the ground with a thud, and his body twitched, and he fell to his knees. Guo Ponu raised his foot and kicked him in the chest, drew his sword, and slammed his backhand at his neck, and his head flew out.

At the end of the street, a group of gangsters were trying to rush this way, and when they saw this scene, they immediately dispersed, not knowing where to run.

"You've been practicing with your father for so many years, what have you practiced?" Guo Ponu dragged Guo Kang over and said, "How can you meet a lame gangster, you can be pressed and beaten by someone?" ”

"I, I don't know?" Guo Kang was still stunned, and when he heard her, he hurried to pick up his gun.

The thing flew not far away, Guo Kang picked it up, wiped the ash on it, skillfully opened the lid on the powder pool, took a closer look, and immediately shouted: "Oops, how did the fire rope go out!" ”

"I asked you what you practiced with your father, and you told me that the fire rope was extinguished." Guo Ponu said speechlessly: "I've practiced rope rubbing for so many years, right?" Haven't practiced yet? ”

"This, this, this is an accident." Guo Kang was really embarrassed this time, so he had to explain: "I don't know, why did I drop the chain at a critical time......

"Hey-" Guo Ponu scratched his head and sighed again.

She looked back at the other side of the garbage mountain, only to see that the gang had lost the will to hold on and began to flee separately. The crowd followed the plan and did not chase after it.

They carefully searched the perimeter, gathered up a few gangs that were trying to hide here, and headed back to the warehouse, ready for their next move.

In our world, where there is no magic or internal force, the fastest archery record is 4.9 seconds for 10 arrows and 0.67 seconds for three arrows.

(It is said that the method of holding three arrows in the hand is the fastest rate of fire, as has been the case with both ancient and modern people.) If there are more arrows, it slows down)
