"Anjun, aren't you joking? This old Jin king went to great lengths to put us under house arrest here in order to lure those vassal kings of Zongzheng Temple to take the bait, how could he only arrange for these useless wastes to ambush here! ”

Qi Chao disdainfully kicked the few patrol guys they had caught before.

"That's right, I don't think it's that simple."

Qi Ning also agreed with his brother's opinion this time.

"Don't worry, we'll see you later."

Li Yi looked at the corner of his mouth in the distance and couldn't help but show a smile.

Because at this time, he had already seen that there were other people in the alley not far from King Shen's personal guard, who were probing their brains.

"Oh? Are they going to do it? ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.

Just as they were taking a closer look, the shouts of King Shen's guards came from outside the courtyard.

"The people inside listen that we are the people sent by Zongzheng Temple to rescue you, so don't worry that we will take you away immediately."

A guard of King Shen shouted loudly as he looked at the courtyard with the gate closed.

Although he said this righteously, he still didn't dare to enter it easily until he figured out the situation in the courtyard.

Because if someone ambushed them in the courtyard, they would easily be wiped out if they broke in so rashly.

"Li Gongzi, what should we do now? Do you want to answer them? ”

As the county guard of Sizhou County, Yan Wuping was a little hesitant in the face of the so-called rescue of King Shen's personal guards at this time.

Although the purpose of Zongzheng Temple is to let them serve as cannon fodder, their situation is also very bad now.

Because once the grassland army really invades the city, then their final fate will definitely be the same as the Yaowu army and the city guard camp.

Therefore, in Yan Wuping's opinion, if he could temporarily get rid of the house arrest of the old Jin King with the help of the power of the vassal kings of Zongzheng Temple, they might have a chance to escape from Jinling City.

"Lord Commander, we'd better wait for a while."

Li Yi waved his hand to stop Yan Wuping.

"How long is this going to be? If we don't take this opportunity to escape now, do we have to wait for the people of the old Jin King to come and reinforce us? ”

Tan Kexun has been under house arrest for the past two days, and he has already been depressed here.

Now when he heard that King Shen's guards had come to his rescue, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Boy, I advise you to pay attention to your attitude before speaking, otherwise I don't mind letting you know what it means to be respectful and listen to others."

When An Su saw Tan Kexun's arrogant attitude, he immediately clenched his fists and said.

"Humph! Where did you come from, so dare to talk to me like that? ”

Tan Kexun saw that An Su was dressed shabbyly, and he couldn't help but say arrogantly.

Although he could also see that An Su should be a good martial arts guy, he felt that he was backed by a thousand city guard battalion soldiers, and even if the other party was high in martial arts, it was impossible for him to do anything.

But as soon as his words fell, a slap hit him in the face.

Tan Kexun immediately felt dizzy.

He was about to curse loudly, but when he saw clearly the man who had beaten him, he immediately stopped.

Because the person who beat him just now was his father Tan Lixing.

"Shut up!"

Tan Lixing said viciously.

"When is the time for Ke Xun, don't make any more trouble!"

Tan Kexun's eldest brother, Tan Keyu, also said.

"But father, if I don't take this opportunity to escape now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance next."

Tan Kexun covered his face and said aggrievedly.

"I think what Tan Gongzi said also makes sense, if we act together with these vassal princes' personal guards, then even if there are many people on the old Jin King's side, we have the ability to fight them."

As the commander of the Sizhou County City Guard, Cha Xilin was also more inclined to fight to the death with the subordinates of the old Jin King.

Just as they were discussing whether they should go out and act with Zongzheng Temple, King Shen's guards outside the gate were already waiting a little anxiously.

"The people in the boss didn't have any answer, is this a trap laid by the old Jin King?"

After the Shen Wang guard called out for a while, he turned back to the leader of the Shen King guard.

"So far, we haven't met a single Jin king's personal guard, if they are really ambushed in the courtyard, then we can completely catch them."

The leader of King Shen's personal guard tapped the hard armor on his body, and then said disdainfully.

At the same time, in an attic not far from the manor, a middle-aged man with a white face and beard was looking out through a crack in the window.

"Childe, now King Shen's personal guards have entered the encirclement of the old King of Jin, but King Jin's subordinates have not made a move."

"It's okay, it's a matter of time before you do it!"

A young man said disdainfully while lying on a couch.

"But now they don't do it now, when the people of Sizhou County and King Shen's guards join forces, they want to do it again, I'm afraid it's over."

The white-faced middle-aged man said with some concern.

"Don't worry, I think the reason why King Jin's subordinates don't do it is because they think the fish they catch now are too small."

The young man said with a sneer.

"Childe, do you mean that there are other vassal kings over there in Zongzheng Temple who are ready to make a move?"

"That's right, otherwise why do you think Zongzheng Temple would throw such an important task to the fool of King Shen."

The young man said with a look of disdain.

"So King Lao Shen is just a wayfinding stone thrown out by Zongzheng Temple?"

The white-faced middle-aged man immediately understood what the young man meant.

"Yes, I think the old Jin King also understands this truth, so he hasn't made a move until now."

The young man then said.

"So, the people of the other vassal kings should be around here?"

The white-faced middle-aged man said with some uncertainty.

"That's right, I guess these guys won't be able to hold it down soon."

Sure enough, as soon as the young man's words fell, not far from King Shen's guards, a group of soldiers in armor immediately poured out of the alley.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately rushed towards the manor where everyone in Sizhou County was located.

"Rush me! Get the people inside! ”

The one who rushed to the front shouted with a sword in hand.

They had been hiding in the alley for a long time.

They found that King Shen's guards had been shouting for so long, and there was no one in the manor answering, so they thought that King Jin's subordinates must have been ambushed in the courtyard.

"The show has finally begun!"

Just as everyone was shouting and rushing out, the young man in the attic in the distance finally stood up and walked to the window and said with a smile.

Then he reached out and opened the window in front of him.

At the same time, the second-floor windows of a dozen other houses were opened almost at the same time.

"Humph! The fish has finally taken the bait! ”

On the second floor of the ready-to-wear store, a strong man with a beard on his face happily adjusted the direction of the eight-bull crossbow.

"Boss, I'm afraid there are five or six hundred people below, I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower!"

The young man said worriedly.

"Humph! You know a! We have a total of twelve eight-ox crossbows here, and even if there are a thousand of them, it is useless. ”

The strong man snorted coldly and aimed the Eight Bull Crossbow at the direction where King Shen was guarding them.

"Look at the boy, let you see the true power of the Eight Bull Crossbow!"

After speaking, the strong man did not hesitate to hammer down the machine expansion of the eight-bull crossbow with a wooden mallet.

With a loud "bang".

The entire Eight Bull Crossbow seemed to have been hit by a heavy object, and the entire crossbow body retreated a foot-long.

Moreover, the three huge crossbows of the Eight Ox Crossbow also trembled with a whistling sound that shook the eardrums.

The young man hiding on the side could even feel a faint whirlwind rise in the room at the moment when the Eight Bull Crossbow was fired.

However, he didn't care about this, and at this time he had already focused all his attention on the crossbow arrow that had been fired by the Eight Ox crossbow bullets.

Although the bolt was three or four meters long, it flew as fast as lightning.

At this time, the distance between them and King Shen's guards was four or five hundred meters, but the huge crossbow arrow flew over in the blink of an eye.

And in the next second, the young man saw that the crossbow arrow was like a string of sugar gourds, directly piercing the three Shen Wang guards in an instant.

Seeing such a result, the young man was directly stunned in place.

He originally thought that the arrows of this eight-bull crossbow were so huge, so presumably its speed should not be too fast.

He believed that the lethality of the Eight Bull Crossbow should be based on the great power of the crossbow arrows.

But now he realized that his opinion was so ridiculous.

It turns out that the arrows of these eight-ox crossbows are not only fast, but also extremely sharp.

Although the armor on King Shen's guards was very thick, it was still as fragile and weak as paper paste under the crossbow arrows of the Eight Bull Crossbows.

"Did the boy see that? This is the power of the Eight Bull Crossbow! ”

The bearded man laughed and picked up another crossbow arrow on the ground, and placed it on the bed of the Eight Ox Crossbow.

Then he quickly coiled the winch at the back of the ballista.

Soon the rope on the side of the winch was pulled to death again, and then he adjusted the direction of the eight-bull crossbow again, and knocked down the machine again.

"Bang!" After a loud bang, he fired a second bolt again.

But this time, his target was no longer those Shen Wang's guards who were standing still.

This time, they were targeting the other vassal princes' guards who were charging.

In fact, the arrow shot by the bearded man just now was just a test shot.

"Boss, this thing is so powerful!"

The young man couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the true power of the Eight Bull Crossbow.

"Humph! Now you know why I said that even if there are a thousand people on the other side, we are not afraid, right? ”

The bearded man laughed triumphantly.

"Alright, now you take care of loading the bolts, and I'll take care of the winch and firing."

"No problem! Today we must let those guys enjoy the power of the Eight Bull Crossbow. ”

The young man immediately began to carry the bolts.

Unlike the excitement of the two of them, the vassal prince's guards who rushed forward at this time immediately realized their danger after a brief moment of stunnedness.

The dozen or so huge crossbow arrows just now shot into the crowd of King Shen's guards in an instant like a dozen bolts of lightning.

The sound of the wind and the whistling of these huge bolts flying over their heads made everyone tremble.

And when these crossbow arrows pierced the bodies of several people like a bunch of sugar gourds, the guards of these feudal kings immediately began to scatter in all directions like frightened birds.

However, they were too concentrated just now, so he couldn't disperse as fast as he could for a while.

As a result, the second wave of bolts caused more damage than the first wave.

Crossbow arrows were fired at the crowd from all directions with a whistling sound.

All of a sudden, the screams were endless.

At the same time, blood mist erupted from time to time in the crowd, and many people were stunned by the castrated crossbow arrows after being pierced by the crossbow arrows.

"Everyone, run away!"

Seeing such a tragic situation, someone in the ranks of the feudal king's guards finally couldn't help but scream in horror.

But before he could take his feet and run away, a crossbow bolt with five men struck him in the chest.

Suddenly, his whole body flew towards the back as if he had been hit by a giant hammer.

But the power of this crossbow arrow has been attenuated a lot.

Moreover, the arrow of the crossbow arrow broke after penetrating several people with great force, so the man was lucky not to be pierced by the crossbow arrow.

But the huge impact still broke his sternum directly.

"Everyone, hurry up and lie down!"

There are still people who know how to do it among the princes' guards.

Just as everyone was scurrying around like headless flies, a man in the general's armor shouted loudly.

As a young man, he fought against the steppe armies in the northern theater for five years.

As a soldier defending the city, he is well aware of the power of the Eight Bull Crossbow, and he is also well aware of the disadvantages of the Eight Bull Crossbow.

It should be said that this eight-bull crossbow was originally designed to siege cities and deal with large siege equipment such as return cannons or siege vehicles.

However, later in the battle with the grassland tribes, the Dayu Dynasty slowly discovered that this kind of thing was also very effective against cavalry.

Because once the cavalry is shot by the eight-bull crossbow, neither the man nor the horse can have any chance of survival.

And the true power of this terrible crossbow is not really how many people can be shot at one time.

Its true power lies in its tremendous deterrent power.

Since no one can survive any of them, soldiers on the battlefield are terrified of this huge crossbow that kills with one hit.

Therefore, the eight-ox crossbow can well separate the formation of the cavalry, and even affect the direction of the cavalry's attack.

But no weapon can be without flaws, and the eight-bull crossbow also has its drawbacks.

The disadvantage is that it can only kill enemies at a certain vertical height after being shot.

Once the opponent is close to the ground, it will be difficult for the crossbow to deal damage to it.

However, at this time, the guards of the vassal prince had been completely frightened by the eight-bull crossbow.

Therefore, even the knowledgeable general reminded those vassal princes loudly that the guards were still running around.

"My goodness! The power of this thing is terrifying! ”

And everyone in the courtyard also saw all the outside situation at this time.

"It's a damn thing that we didn't rush out just now, otherwise these crossbow arrows would probably not only shoot at these vassal princes' guards now!"

Tan Keyu said with palpitations.

However, the faces of Li Yi and the others did not change without any expressions.

I think the eight-ox crossbow they saw when they were in the northern side of the fortress was much more powerful than the one in front of them.

"The craftsman skills under the old Jin King are too rough, and the power of this eight-bull crossbow has been weakened by at least thirty percent."

After Jin Shi heard that King Jin's men had used the Eight Ox Crossbow, he immediately climbed the rockery and took a closer look.

But in the end, he was disappointed.
