Chapter 52: Bending the Bow and Shooting the Goshawk
Chapter 52 Bending the bow and shooting the goshawk
Before you know it, the night completely covers the earth.
In the land of 100 countries, 90% of people suffer from night blindness at night, which is equivalent to the level of ancient China, and the living standards of ordinary people are not high, so it is normal to suffer from night blindness.
Night blindness boils down to eating less vitamins and not keeping up with nutrition.
Of course, these situations will not happen to the warriors on the city wall, but those soldiers may not, which is also what Qin Chen is most worried about.
Those beasts will not, and most of the beasts will not be affected in their vision at night.
Under the trade-off, human beings are completely at a disadvantage as soon as they are released.
During Qin Chen's worries, a beast had already attacked the city wall, but it was still cut down by the joint efforts of several soldiers, and with a mournful roar, the beast was trampled into pulp.
Of course, this is just an individual case, one after another beasts rushed up the city wall, and a soldier was scratched by the beast without noticing, and obviously could not live, but this soldier had the courage to come out of nowhere before he died, and he hugged the beast and jumped down with all his strength.
In another place, a giant wolf showed its might, although it was not a demon beast, but it was not something that these ordinary soldiers could hold, and a team of five people was quickly wiped out, which attracted the attention of a nearby warrior, and the warrior quickly ran over with a knife.
And at the city wall that Qin Chen was guarding, Qin Chen pulled out the Broken Yue Sword, clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and when he saw a beast, he slashed it down, causing the soldiers within ten meters around him to have nothing to do. I had to go to other places to help.
Qin Chen's dancing at this time had no swordsmanship at all, almost cutting down wherever a beast climbed up.
Now Qin Chen was experimenting with his sword.
After all, this Broken Yue Sword has just been bought, and it has not been played yet, so it is necessary to familiarize itself with it now, otherwise there will be no chance for the demon beasts to come. Fortunately, it feels good, this Poyue Sword is worthy of the name of the heavy sword, and one beast after another can't bear the weight of the Poyue Sword at all, and they fall off the wall one after another.
A smile appeared on Qin Chen's face, it seemed that Deacon Huang had not deceived himself, so he was very comfortable.
Just when Qin Chen was slashing. Beast tide reinforcements have arrived.
Accompanied by crisp birdsong. Dozens of huge goshawks flew from the sky, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and then dropped into the air. Soldiers dance in the air. Free fall. Fell into the tide of beasts and was completely buried. There was even an unlucky warrior who was thrown down.
The goshawk's first attempt was successful, and then came a second one. There happened to be one that came straight towards Qin Chen.
This is also a helpless thing, there is no one on the entire city wall just ten meters from Qin Chen's side, a living target, don't look for Qin Chen to find anyone.
Qin Chen also saw the scene just now, and there was a fire in his heart, it's good if you don't come to me, since you're here, don't think about going back.
Holding the big knife tightly with both hands, at the moment when the goshawk swooped down, the shadowless step was launched, the goshawk suddenly found that his target had disappeared, and before he understood what was going on, Qin Chen had already appeared on the back of the goshawk, and the Poyue sword slashed down fiercely, and the goshawk let out a mournful roar, and fell heavily on the city wall, losing his breath.
Qin Chen kicked the goshawk's corpse down, it was just a beast, if it wasn't for flying, Qin Chen could kill as much as he wanted.
It seemed to be frightened by Qin Chen's force, and the beasts attacking below obviously bypassed Qin Chen and turned to attack other places.
On the entire battlefield, Qin Chen was the most relaxed, but not in other places, many places had already begun hand-to-hand combat with beasts, and many martial artists played the role of firefighters.
Seeing that there were no wild beasts coming from his position, Qin Chen asked the soldiers around him to come up, and he turned to other locations to put out the fire. Looking at the unscrupulous goshawks in the sky, Qin Chen felt that his heart was very hot, but these flies flew very high and moved quickly, and those archers couldn't shoot their arrows, even if they occasionally did, they wouldn't cause substantial damage.
Suddenly, Qin Chen's attention was attracted by a soldier.
This soldier was tall, half a head taller than Qin Chen, the muscles of his whole body had risen to the extreme, he was carrying a longbow, he was obviously an archer, but he was holding a spear in his hand, obviously the archers were in battle.
Three steps and two steps came up to him, and explained the reason to him, and the soldier did not hesitate to hand over the longbow and quiver on his back.
Qin Chen's idea was to shoot those goshawks down.
Of course, Qin Chen did not receive professional training, but Qin Chen was barely a hunter when he was in the mountain village, and he had been exposed to bows and arrows, and Qin Chen was a martial artist of the ninefold body refining realm, and he had been soaked in many medicinal materials, not only his body, but also his eyes were much better than ordinary people. Although he can't wear Yang in a hundred steps, he can be regarded as a marksman.
Besides, Qin Chen has an advantage that those marksmen don't have, that is, his arm strength is amazing, even if this goshawk flies high, Qin Chen is also certain to a certain extent.
Take the arrow and wind it, this one is made of fine iron, the weight is not light, but it is just right for Qin Chen, this bow is also a good bow, the elasticity is amazing, I believe it will not be broken by Qin Chen so easily.
Just ready, the group of goshawks swooped down again, without the slightest hesitation, the right foot stepped forward, bent the bow, aimed, shot the arrow, the whole action was done in one go, only to see the iron arrow from the mouth of a goshawk shot out, shot out from behind, the goshawk was shot through the heart, and the rest of the goshawks hurriedly flew towards the air in a panic.
Hmph, do you think you can get away with it this way?
Qin Chen sneered, and aimed at the goshawk hovering in the sky, aiming again.
Although it was already night, the city walls were full of torches, and there were still some burning beast corpses under the castle, so the brightness was quite good.
But it is not necessarily in the sky, where the light of the torches does not shine, and it is gray and dark in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Qin Chen's eyes, these goshawks are no different from live targets.
Bend the bow again and aim. Archery, this time the iron arrow made a urging sound, and the air rubbed sparks, and in an instant arrived at the goshawk flock, two birdsong sounded, yes, it was two, one stone and two eagles, after shooting a goshawk, the arrow momentum did not decrease. Pierce the previous goshawk. Shoot into the wings of another goshawk.
The second goshawk suffered an injury to its wings, was unable to fly, and fell from a high altitude.
Striking while the iron was hot, Qin Chen did not hesitate at all. Running around the city walls. Once you find a suitable location. bent his bow and shot the eagle, and although the few behind him did not have the miracle of killing two birds with one stone, they all hit with arrows.
Qin Chen took out the quiver again. There was only one arrow, Qin Chen jumped and came to the top of the city tower, hooked the tiles with his feet, bent the bow, aimed, shot the arrow, all in one go, this time Qin Chen used twelve points of strength.
Maybe Qin Chen's luck was too good, he wanted to shoot only one and killed two birds with one stone, not only that, but one arrow pierced through two goshawks in a row, and then flew into the darkness and disappeared.
In this way, the iron arrows in Qin Chen's quiver were exhausted, but the goshawks in the air were also frightened, and the remaining goshawks flew away in a panic.
If there were goshawk monsters here, they might be able to organize their charge again, but no, the flies scattered and fled, and it was useless to let those monsters call out. There are no ifs in the world, and the air force of the demon beast is finished.
There were bursts of cheers on the city wall, Qin Chen's bravery just now was obvious to all, these goshawks were a big threat to humans, although humans had invented some weapons to deal with birds and monsters, but this Qingyuan county town just didn't have it. There were nearly a hundred people who had just died at the hands of the goshawk group, and if it weren't for Qin Chen's timely action, the human race might have collapsed.
Now that the problem of the goshawk has been solved, Qin Chen has also returned to his original position, jumped off the city wall, lost the longbow and quiver, and held the Chongyue sword, which has the potential of ten thousand people.
But maybe Qin Chen was too brave, only two or three beasts rushed over, and Qin Chen couldn't enjoy slashing it.
At this time, Luo Ye walked over with a big knife in his hand, the black armor was stained with blood and the internal organs of the beast, but Luo Ye didn't mind at all, and gave a thumbs up to Qin Chen with his left hand.
In any case, the human race has stopped its decline, but the situation is still not optimistic, the beasts are still attacking, Qin Chen wonders if these beasts are endless, Luo Ye does not have the slightest leisure, and just leaves with a word of thanks.
Qin Chen understood the emotions contained in the words Luo Ye, everything was in plain sight, and if he had anything to say, he had to wait until the demon beast tide was repulsed.
Unconsciously, Qin Chen found that he had become much more relaxed, and when he looked up, there were many strange warriors on the city wall, Qin Chen had never seen any of them when he had just started the war, but when the human race stopped the decline, one by one sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Although there is some disdain for these people, it has to be said that the pressure of joining the city defenders has been doubled.
The soldiers on the walls could finally breathe.
Luoye came to Qin Chen's face for the second time, wiped the blood on his face, and spit out a mouthful of blood-stained phlegm, "Phew, these villains, when they first started defending the city, they couldn't see any of them, and when they saw Brother Qin's bravery, they all ran out one by one, if Luo didn't look at the overall situation, he would definitely drive them all away." ”
Qin Chen knew that Luo Ye was just venting the dissatisfaction in his heart, and immediately persuaded, "Don't be so angry, it's a big battle, isn't it?"
"That's right, Luo Junshou. There was a question that Qin Chen thought about for a long time, and felt that he still had to ask.
Luo Ye now has a good impression of this young man, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, are you feeling tired, if that's the case, you can go down and rest for a while, there is no problem here for the time being." ”
Qin Chen held the hilt of the Poyue Sword with his left hand, and swung his right hand continuously, "No, it's just that I've been thinking about it for a long time, and now I want to ask for advice." ”
"Brother Qin, excuse me. ”
"I see that the Luo County Guard is concentrating his forces in the south of the city, if the demon beasts attack from the east of the city and the west of the city, what should be good, I hope the Luo County Guard can solve this puzzle in the next. ”
"Hahaha," Luo Ye laughed, "It seems that Brother Qin doesn't know much about Qingyuan County. ”
Qin Chen was puzzled, "What do you mean by this?"
Luo Ye is not a person who likes to hang people's appetites, and immediately explained the reason.
It turns out that this Qingyuan county town has considered the problem of demon beasts since the beginning of its construction, and it can be said that this is a city built to block demon beasts, of course, hundreds of years of comfort have made this city a little unworthy of its name.
Qingyuan County has considered a lot when choosing a location, and it is also because of the unique environment here.
Qingyuan County can be built on a mountain, yes, it is a mountain, the east of the city is a cliff, the demon beasts can not attack at all, the west of the city is a big river, the water is turbulent, it is the famous Qingyuan River. Therefore, there is no East City Gate and North City Gate at all.
Due to the gentle terrain in the south and the confusing effect of the groves, even Qin Chen did not notice this.
Therefore, all Luo Ye had to do was to defend the southern city wall, and let the inhabitants of the city escape from the north of the city, and his task would be completed.
Qin Chen had already thought that if there were clever demon beasts who wanted to send strange soldiers to sneak attack from the east and west, all that was waiting for them would be death.
As for bypassing Qingyuan County and sneaking up on the north of the city, Qin Chen had never thought of it like this, if this was the case, it would be better to directly bypass Qingyuan County and attack the hinterland of Chen State, and leave Qingyuan County City to those Spirit Realm Demon Beast Kings to deal with.
After knowing that he had made a big fuss, Qin Chen also felt a little blushing, but fortunately Luo Ye did not laugh at Qin Chen on this, Qin Chen felt much better, and casually found an excuse to kill the beast.
In order not to feel unhappy about himself, Qin Chen deliberately chose a place where there were no these new martial artists.
These new warriors are not the warriors of Qingyuan County, but from other places in the Chen Kingdom and other countries to pick up the bargains, at the beginning of seeing the huge scale of the beast tide, each of them flinched, after seeing Qin Chen bending his bow to shoot the goshawk, he felt that there was a cheap advantage, so he shot one by one.
If they don't make a move, they don't want to get the slightest bit of these demon beast materials when they win, but now that they make a move, then Luo Ye will have no reason to stop them when they distribute the demon beast materials.
This kind of prevention is against the martial artists of the whole world, and Luo Ye does not have such great ability.
However, the careful Qin Chen found that there were no Fuya Auction House, Baiyao Hall, and Huang Yuanzhong's subordinates among these martial artists. You must know that the three potential forces of the Lu Dao belong to the Worship Pavilion, the Heavenly Medicine Palace, and the Heavenly Soldier Cave respectively, and the sources are very extensive, so they must know more about this beast tide than Luo Ye.
Could it be? Qin Chen had a bold idea in his heart, but he threw it out in an instant. This is impossible, since ancient times, I have never heard of a Demon Beast King of the Spirit Realm on the eve of the beast tide.
If they didn't make a move, Qin Chen felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, maybe it was just his own illusion, right? Qin Chen thought to himself.
With the addition of a large number of warriors, the seriously injured soldiers and the tired soldiers were basically replaced.
Now the city walls are full of warriors and energetic soldiers, and the morale is high, no matter how many demon beasts come, they have been repulsed.
The morale of the defenders was high, and there were even a few proposals to launch a counteroffensive, and the situation was very good.
At this time, the lights in the county guard's mansion were bright, but no one could see it, and at this moment, there was a sound of pushing the door, and then I saw Luo Shiping walking in with a long sword in his hand.
The battle to defend the city has been going on for several hours, and Luo Shiping, who is not at ease, went out to take a look, and under this look, Luo Shiping really wanted to kill these nobles.
At the gate of the north city, there was almost a regular queue, even if there were more people in the city, most of them should have gone, but these rich merchants and nobles, each of them was a long convoy, which seriously restricted the number of troops advancing. I didn't think it before, but now Luo Shiping feels that these rich businessmen and aristocrats are big moths, a cancer of society.
In the hall of the county guard's mansion, Huihui hugged Qin Bai, pouting, and there were tears on her face, while Luo Shi'an had already fallen asleep.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Huihui was in good spirits, but when she saw that it was Luo Shi'an, her eyes dimmed, and she continued to lower her head.
Luo Shi'an touched his nose, is he so unwelcome? (To be continued......)
