Chapter 43: The Masked Man

Prince Gong probably couldn't think of it, and would never think that the current situation was actually caused by himself. Let's not talk about why the peasants came here to surround him, but when they called him to talk just now, if he spoke well, he would still be able to stabilize these peasants.

Unfortunately, Prince Gong was accustomed to putting on the majesty of the prince in front of the untouchables, and he did not intend to talk to them at all, but instead ordered the archers to shoot the lawless untouchables in his eyes, which finally aroused the irrepressible anger of the peasants, and immediately launched a strong attack, causing the situation to be uncontrollable.

Until this time, Prince Gong still thought that this was Huang Quan's mistake for him!

Huang Quan lay on another arrow tower, watching all the movements around him, and even heard Prince Gong's curses, but he was silent. He knew that the peasants were going to set fire to the arrow tower, but the crossbowmen on the arrow tower were thrown under the tower in the middle of the night, and the peasants saw no one and did not come to burn the arrow tower for a while.

The person next to him was obviously also scared, and shouted, "Lord Wang, what should I do, what should I do?"

Prince Gong said angrily: "You are the king's guard, at this time you ask the king what to do? This king raised you guards, just to come to the critical moment to ask the king what to do? Hurry up and see if there is a way to get out!"

The man looked at it, then held his head and shrank back: "No! There are these peasants everywhere!"

Prince Gong said: "It's a bandit!"

He looked at the four archers on the tower, and shouted, "Shoot all these untouchables!"

One of the archers replied, "My lord, we don't have many arrows!

"Shoot it too!"

Although there were not many arrows, there were arrows after all, and the peasants only dared to surround them from a distance and did not dare to get too close, they were all shouting from afar, and by the way, they watched their fight in the circle at night.

Lin Yuannan and the others also ran over with firewood and grass at this time. When the archers saw them running with firewood and grass, they knew that this was a deadly threat and hurried their arrows at them. Although there was firewood and grass in the way, there were shrewd archers who aimed their arrows at their feet, and in a moment two of them were shot in the knees, fell to the ground and cried out in pain, and the firewood and grass were scattered all over the ground. Seeing that they had lost the cover of firewood and grass, the archers immediately turned to them. One of them screamed and was hit by an arrow in his back, and although he was not dead, he was not lightly injured.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Yuannan shouted: "Bend down and retreat first!

The wolf guards didn't care about advancing for a while, and bent down and retreated with firewood and grass, and rescued and dragged their fallen companions away. The archers did not have many arrows, and seeing that they were well protected, they did not pursue them.

The bull rider said, "This won't work!

That's true, but how can you defeat the archers of the other side? After all, they are all peasants, and no one knows how to shoot arrows!

At this time, it happened that the nimble entourage grabbed the ladder and climbed up, intending to go up to the arrow tower and carry Prince Gong down. He was very nimble on his hands and feet, and he had already climbed halfway up, and he would soon be able to climb to the top.

Ling Ye was still chasing after the entourage led by him. Due to the fact that there were fewer people attacking and rescuing from behind, Ling Ye didn't care much about the threat from behind, and pursued boldly with confidence, the knife was sharp, and one knife was faster than the other. The entourage headed by him dodged left and right, and it took his life to dodge five or six knives, and he was almost slashed several times, but he was so frightened that his heart jumped out of his chest, and he shouted: "Come and save me!"

Ling Ye said coldly: "Don't you still want to save your prince, why do you want to save yourself instead?"

The man scolded: "Don't be complacent, boy, you openly helped a group of bandits to rebel today, no matter how far you escape to the ends of the earth in the future, you will be wanted to the end, see how long you can be proud!"

Ling Ye said coldly: "Who said I was going to escape?"

In the crowd of peasants surrounding the tower, a man with a masked face covered lined up and came to the bull rider. When the bull rider saw him, he immediately rejoiced: "Brother, we have a problem here!"

The masked man nodded, holding out a hand. The bull rider understood, and immediately shouted, "Find a pair of bows and arrows!"

The archers who had been thrown under the tower in the middle of the night dropped several pairs of bows and arrows, and soon a peasant picked them up and handed them over to the masked man. The masked man stood beside the bull rider, bent his bow and arrow, took a slight aim, and with a release of his right hand, an arrow was fired.

The bull rider and the surrounding farmers were a little surprised. It's still a little far from the arrow tower, so the archers on the arrow tower can't shoot this side, so they dare to stand here and speak. Can this masked man stand so far away and shoot arrows?

With a whoosh, it was the arrow that looked like a meteor, and it flew like a meteor to the tower, straight into the chest of an archer. The archer screamed, clutching his chest, and fell headlong from the tower. The arrow tower is about two feet high, falling from such a high place, where is there still life?

When the other three archers saw that one of the peasants could shoot arrows so far and so accurately, they were so frightened that they cried out, and they all crouched down and hid behind the guards, not daring to raise their heads for a while.

The attendant who climbed up heard the sound of the feather arrow breaking through the air, and then let out a scream, and saw that someone around him was falling rapidly, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to move for a while, and clung to the ladder tightly, for fear of being taken down by the falling person.

It was too late, and then it was too fast, and with a whoosh, another feathered arrow broke through the air. When the attendant heard that the wind was wrong and wanted to continue climbing, his right hand shook suddenly, and there was a piercing pain. When he looked closely, he found that his right hand had been stared at the ladder by a feathered arrow, and he was drenched in blood, and he couldn't help but cry out loudly while struggling.

The bull rider and the peasants cheered loudly. The bull rider gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother, it's really yours!"

The masked man didn't speak, only nodded slightly, and took another arrow, but he didn't hurry to shoot it, and his eyes glanced at the wolf guards on the side.

The bull rider understood what he meant, and said loudly: "Hey, brothers who are helping, help pile up the firewood and grass!"

Lin Yuannan and the others also saw the masked man's archery skills, and knew that he bent his bow against the arrow tower, and the archers on it did not dare to poke their heads out to shoot arrows for a while. Lin Yuannan said: "Okay, everyone go up again, pile up the firewood and grass!" said and picked up the firewood and grass, and rushed first.

The crowd followed closely behind, rushing over with firewood and grass. The man on the tower saw that something was wrong, and an archer leaned out to shoot an arrow to stop him, but was shot down by the masked man. The rest of the people didn't dare to come forward again, and could only watch as a group of wolf guards rushed closer.

All that's left is to set fire to it!

The few entourages who were still struggling with Ling Ye saw that something was wrong, and they didn't care about fighting Ling Ye anymore, so they turned around and rushed towards the arrow tower. Ling Ye said coldly, "Do you still want to leave now, it's too late!" said as he quickly rushed forward and slashed at the back of the person closest to him.
