Chapter 239: Fighting Arrows
After witnessing Mu Junhe's battle, everyone finally understood why he was called the number one swordsman in the world by others.
When he killed eight people in a matter of moments, everyone in the audience gasped.
Especially the more than 100 people who fought against them just now, they have really understood the strength of these people.
More than a hundred of them couldn't beat those twenty or so, but now Mu Jun and one person could kill the other party in fear.
At this time, the remaining eleven people saw that the number of people on their side was getting smaller and smaller, and they finally began to panic.
Some of these people have already begun to retreat, and in their opinion, if their side continues to fight, the result will be the same as Fubo and them.
Although his family was held hostage by Lu Simian, he can only have a chance to rescue his family by saving his life now.
If you die here, your family may not end well. As soon as he thought of this, the tall and thin man immediately dropped the double whip in his hand and knelt down with a plop.
"I surrender, please raise your noble hand!" Seeing him like this, three or four of the other ten people immediately began to move.
But before the others could follow him, all of a sudden, an arrow came from the head of the city and pierced the man's neck.
Then the man fell to the ground and convulsed. So the people who originally wanted to surrender immediately froze and immediately turned around and looked at the city.
At the same time, another feathered arrow also shot towards Mu Junhe's neck like a flying poisonous snake.
But in the face of this arrow, Mu Junhe did not dodge. I saw that he directly put the long sword in his hand on his side, and the sharp arrow hit his sword body.
I only heard
With a "bang", the sharp arrow used to break the armor directly hit the ground and shattered on Mu Junhe's long sword.
The scattered iron slag spread out in the air like fireworks, directly marking the faces of several people around them.
"Humph!" After Mu Jun joined his sword to block the sharp arrows shot from the city wall, he only snorted lightly, but he didn't even look at the person who shot the arrows on the city wall.
"It's despicable! What kind of hero is the secret cold arrow! Seeing that someone in the city put cold arrows in the urn, the people watching the battle in the city opened their mouths and scolded angrily.
Seeing this, Li Yi on the side directly stretched out his hand and said to Li Ji next to him.
"Bow!" Li Ji immediately took off the longbow that was slung across his body, and then handed it to Li Yi with both hands. After Li Yi took the longbow, he walked leisurely to the front of everyone, and then picked up a feathered arrow from the ground at random, and then bent the bow and arrow.
With
With a soft sound of the bowstring, the feather arrow that was picked up by Li Yi at random flew towards the city like lightning.
At this time, although the city head fell into a melee, Zhang Shuliang also occupied a certain advantage. However, Zheng Gang and his comrades are also slippery, on the one hand, they are constantly bewitching the soldiers of the neutral city guard battalion, and on the other hand, they are fighting and retreating, keeping a distance from Zhang Shuliang and others.
At the same time, from time to time, they disguised themselves as neutral city guard battalion soldiers and suddenly launched a surprise attack on Zhang Shuliang and others.
After this battle, many people were killed and wounded on both sides. During this period, more than a dozen Zheng Gang's henchmen who had been ambushed among the neutral soldiers never moved, and they were a hole card specially left by Zheng Gang.
In order to kill Zhang Shuliang with one blow at a critical time. But before they could make a move, Zheng Gang discovered that the situation in the urn city had completely changed direction.
At this time, their target this time, Mu Qingyun, had already fled, and the rest were inconsequential characters.
So Zheng Gang immediately decided to take the opportunity to retreat with his henchmen. In his opinion, although he failed this time, he also saw the explosion of the Huainan Mansion just now.
At this time, he thought that the King of Huainan should have been completely killed, and Lu Simian should have successfully controlled the Huai'an Palace.
Now, even if Mu Qingyun can return to Huainan Mansion safely, they are afraid that they will still face a dead end.
So now he is not too worried about the safety of his family, but although he is not worried about the safety of his family, he is worried about the safety of Bao Wenqin, the concubine of the king of Huainan at this time.
Now that the King of Huainan has been killed, Bao Wenqin, who is the concubine of the King of Huainan, is actually of no value to Lu Simian.
Originally, he thought that Lu Simian would use Bao Wenqin's status to slowly encroach on the rights of Huainan, and then get rid of Mu Qingyun and Mu Qingxiao brothers first, and finally support Bao Wenqin's children to take the throne.
And this time, the Xuanwumen incident planned by Lu Simian was because Bao Wenqin was pregnant, and he already had the ultimate bargaining chip.
But the explosion in the Huainan Mansion just now completely overturned Zheng Gang's speculation. Because Lu Simian did not encroach on the power of King Huainan step by step as he thought, and then slowly cut off the obstacles.
He adopted a more direct and radical method, that is, to kill the king of Huainan and the prince of Huainan.
His approach was clearly not a seizure of power, but a direct armed coup d'état. Therefore, whether Bao Wenqin, who has lost his use value, will be killed depends entirely on whether Lu Simian will remember the old feelings.
Thinking of the safety of Bao Wenqin, who haunts him every day, Zheng Gang couldn't wait to rush to Huainan Wangfu to save her.
So when Zhang Shuliang and the others were still tired of dealing with the nails planted by Zheng Gang, Zheng Gang had already led a large number of henchmen down from another staircase in the city wall to the city.
And before leaving, he had already given an order to the rest of the people, to kill all the people sent by Lu Simian in the urn city.
For the other people in the urn city, they can also kill them. It stands to reason that it is reasonable for him to order the killing of Li Yi and the others in the urn city, after all, if it weren't for Li Yi and Mu Qingyun, they would have been blown into minced meat at this time.
But Zheng Gang wanted to kill Lu Simian's subordinates together, which he had thought about carefully. In his mind, if Lu Simian killed Bao Wenqin without mercy this time, then he and he would be undying enemies.
Some of his right-hand men who killed him now are to cut off his forces in advance, so that he can take revenge on Bao Wenqin next.
Even if Lu Simian didn't kill Bao Wenqin, killing some of Lu Simian's subordinates now could also weaken his strength.
In this way, he can also close the gap between himself and his strength, and when the time comes, he can also occupy more initiative by cooperating with him.
At least he can have more chances to snatch Bao Wenqin back from his hands. I have to say that Zheng Gang's wishful thinking is playing just loudly.
And just as Zheng Gang hurried to the Huainan Mansion with a lot of excitement, Li Yi's side also began to kill.
Unlike Mu Junhe's killing, Li Yi's side did not have fancy moves, but it was more exciting.
Because Li Yi is now fighting arrows with Zheng Gang's henchmen at the head of the city. This kind of scene is rare in the Dayu Dynasty.
Fighting arrows are generally more popular in the grassland tribes, after all, the grassland tribes have grown up on horseback since childhood, and each of them is very good at riding and shooting, so it can be said that riding and shooting is their instinct.
"I originally thought that his marksmanship was great, but I didn't expect his archery skills to be so good." Hai Yin stood in the crowd and watched Li Yi with one arrow, and then sealed the throat of the archer who had secretly cast cold arrows at Mu Junhe just now, and praised in a low voice.
Yu Zhenlei stared sharply at the city guard battalion soldiers at the head of the city, and nodded lightly. As a steppe man with impure blood, Yu Zhenlei was not treated by his clan since he was a child, so he did not get the true inheritance of his predecessors in archery like other grassland tribesmen.
Therefore, Yu Zhenlei's archery skills are not very prominent, and it is precisely because of this that he is more powerful in long knives and fists and feet.
However, although his own archery skills are not very good, as the saying goes, I have never eaten pork and never seen a pig run.
He had seen so many archery masters that he could tell a person's archery skills more accurately than anyone else.
In his opinion, the archers on the city wall at this time were not the top archers among the steppe tribes, but they were also masters.
But at this time, Li Yi actually stood alone between the open spaces and faced more than a dozen archers on the city wall alone.
Its courage and courage are no worse than Mu Junhe's battle against more than 20 people. At the same time, Yu Zhenlei also saw something in common from Li Yi and Mu Junhe, that is, self-confidence.
And this kind of self-confidence he has also seen in Jing Zizheng, although Jing Zizheng is a powerless scholar, but his self-confidence is the same as Li Yi and Mu Junhe.
"Maybe this is the tradition of their master!" Yu Zhenlei thought to himself in his heart. At this time, a dozen archers at the head of the city suddenly discovered that one of their companions had been shot through the throat with an arrow, and they could not help but be furious.
When they shifted their gaze from Zhang Shuliang's body to the urn city, they were surprised to find a crowd of people, and a young man was standing in the middle of the open space in the urn city.
And this young man was holding a longbow at this time, looking at his people indifferently. The archers at the head of the city immediately had a sense of being provoked.
And what made them even more unbearable was Li Yi's next move. After Li Yi made sure that the archers at the head of the city were all focused on his body, Li Yi pulled out a feather arrow from the ground again, and then drew a half-meter square on the ground with the feather arrow in hand.
Then he pulled a dozen arrows from the ground again, and confidently stepped into the square. This is the rule of fighting arrows, in the process of fighting arrows, you can only move your body within a limited range, once you go out of this range, it will be counted as admitting defeat.
Under normal circumstances, if you admit defeat in the process of fighting arrows, you have to cut yourself. Seeing a young man, in the face of more than a dozen archers on his side, he dared to take the initiative to ask for arrows, which was simply looking for death.
So a dozen archers on the head of the city also drew four feathered arrows from their quivers, and then stuck feathered arrows in the four corners beside them.
In this way, they are also encircled within a certain range like Li Yi. Last night, an archer at the head of the city first shot an arrow into the sky, and seeing this, Li Yi also shot an arrow into the sky.
This is a signal that both sides are ready.
"Li Yi, you have to be careful." Qi Ning, who was behind Li Yi, reminded with some concern after seeing more than a dozen archers at the head of the city.
Although she had seen Li Yi's spear skills in this short period of time, she didn't know what Li Yi's archery skills were.
Now he was facing a dozen archers alone, which had to worry Qi Ning. Facing Qi Ning's reminder, Li Yi just turned around and smiled and nodded at her.
In the face of Li Yi's smile, Qi Ning's face turned red. And everyone around her couldn't help but smile knowing when they saw this, which made Qi Ning's face even redder.
But among these people, only Qi Chao is in a somewhat complicated mood now. At this time, he was happy that the relationship between his sister and Li Yi had progressed, but he also felt unwilling, as if he was about to lose his sister.
At the moment when Li Yi turned around, an archer above the city quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow at Li Yi.
It can be said that this archer's behavior is somewhat suspicious of a sneak attack, but just now Li Yi and the archers at the head of the city have already shot arrows into the sky to signal that they are ready.
So it's not enough to say that the opponent is despicable, after all, his arrow shot is reasonable.
"Be careful!" At this time, when Li Yi turned around, Qi Ning saw someone shooting arrows at the head of the city, so he immediately shouted eagerly.
But Li Yi didn't panic about this, after hearing Qi Ning's reminder, he immediately turned around, and then turned to the side of his body slightly, and the feather arrow flew past his ear, nailed straight to the ground, and the tail of the feather arrow was still trembling slightly.
Although Li Yi's body was slightly sideways, his feet did not move at all. The archer who shot an arrow on the city wall couldn't help frowning when he saw Li Yi dodge his first arrow so easily.
Although he didn't use all his strength with this arrow, he only tested Li Yi, and he didn't plan to kill Li Yi with the first arrow, but he didn't expect Li Yi to not even move his footsteps.
Just when he was surprised, Li Yi's feather arrow was already rapidly approaching in his field of vision. He was caught off guard by Li Yi just now, and now Li Yi can be regarded as taking him by surprise.
However, the solutions of the two sides are very different. Li Yi easily dodged his arrow just now, but he didn't dodge Li Yi's arrow.
It's not that he didn't find that Li Yi shot an arrow, it's just that Li Yi's feather arrow speed is too fast.
Although he had already dodged the feather arrow as soon as he spotted it, his reaction was obviously not comparable to the speed of Li Yi's feather arrow.
Although he successfully avoided the arrow that Li Yi shot at his neck, Li Yi's feather arrow still pierced his right shoulder directly.
The sharp pain caused the archer's longbow to come out of his hand, and it was obvious that the archer could no longer fight.
After shooting this arrow, Li Yi slowly put down the longbow in his hand at this time, and looked at the remaining archers on the city wall lightly.
The remaining archers on the city wall saw that Li Yi had abolished one of his companions with one arrow, and they all put away their contempt.
Another archer bent his bow and his longbow was drawn. In the next second, the feather arrow shot at Li Yi like lightning.
The speed of the arrow was already a sonic boom. Seeing this, Li Yi didn't panic, only to see that he also bent his bow and shot an arrow at the feather arrow.
And immediately after shooting this arrow, he stooped down and put the feathered arrow in the ground. The feathered arrow flew over his head as soon as he bent down, and at the same time it plunged straight into the neck of the archers at the head of the city.
It was no wonder that the archer would be shot, he had just focused too much on the feathered arrow he had shot and ignored the feathered arrow that the other party had fired.
I have to say that it is really a blind eye that kills people.
