Chapter 20: Capturing Chongbo Hu alive
Xia Yan assassinated a Chongguo soldier again and pulled out the sword from the other party's abdomen. The sticky blood had flowed along the sword's edge to the hilt, and this sticky and slippery feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.
[In order to save physical strength, unless in special circumstances, each killing must be given priority to stab the attack method, and try to choose the enemy's throat, abdomen and other vital positions without bones to shoot]. This is the teaching of the instructors of the Qilin Guard.
The situation is very special now. The enemy is constantly climbing up from nearly thirty ladders and starts to hit the city gate with attacking rams.
There were only fifteen Hu Ben Shield Guards guarding the city, and the other ten were archers. Five people were divided into guarding the gate, and only twenty people were left on the wall of the city wall. This required continuous movement and increased speed of killing the enemy to intercept all enemies who climbed the city.
So now the shield guards are forced to stand up and run back and forth on the city wall. When they encounter enemies, they are no longer so particular. How to kill the enemy? How to do it quickly? Another Chongguo soldier flew up the battlement in front of Xia Yan, with one leg on the battlement. Xia Yan shouted loudly, rushed over, and pushed the people out with his shield. The man exclaimed "Ouch" and had already fallen from the top of the city.
Xia Yan then inserted the sword downwards, pierced into the back of the person who followed closely behind, burying his head and directly cut off his spine. Without even a humming sound, he collapsed and fell to the city in a free fall. Then Xia Yan rushed to another position and intercepted a Chongguo soldier who had jumped onto the city.
The Hu Ben Shooter didn't have to work so hard. They squatted on the ground close to the inner edge of the city wall. They opened their bows and arrows, and each of them was responsible for protecting the merceration within their range.
A soldier from Chongguo showed half of his body in the chassis. He glanced quickly and found that no one was paying attention to him. He hurriedly climbed up the chassis. When he was half-squatting and about to jump to the top of the city, an arrow shot from the darkness, hitting his face, and falling backwards towards the sky.
Although the Tiger Bear's archer's archer is not as good as the Qilin Guard's compound bow archer, it is still fine to score nine out of ten shots within ten meters.
The gate was too thick, and more than a dozen men who hit the city gate had no effect after a long time of collision. "Starting fire", the leading man said viciously. After a moment, they took more than a dozen bundles of dead branches and leaves and piled them under the door. There was no good use of fire-attracting objects in this era. It took a long time to ignite the fire, and the fire burned wildly. Five tigers behind the door, holding swords and bows, discovered this situation. One of them had already rushed to the side and pulled a wooden handle tied with a rope downwards. The sink plug on the city gate was opened. A water curtain poured down along the gate...
Chong Bohu, who was under the city wall, looked at the increasing casualties and became anxious. Suddenly, he remembered this hunting and took the best archery hunter in Chongguo. So he shouted: "Where is the archery hunter? When will he not take action at this time?"
...
When a blood-stained tiger ran through a mercedes, for a moment when he exposed his body, a sharp arrow broke through the air. With a "puff", the arrow cluster penetrated the side of the shoulder armor. There was no riveted copper piece on this side. The arrow cluster deeply penetrated his shoulders, and the bronze sword in his hand had fallen to the ground.
A Chongguo soldier who was climbing in the front of the battlement took this opportunity to jump up, successfully stood on the top of the city, and rushed towards him with a short spear in his hand.
Fortunately, the Hu Ben Shooter, who was responsible for guarding another section of the city wall, discovered this situation and raised his hand and shot into the back of the Chongguo soldiers. But when he was about to pull the bow again to prepare for the next arrow, an enemy soldier had already stood on the top of the city wall and ran towards him, and the big spear in his hand was about to slash it.
When the enemy soldier was one meter away from the archer, the archer's arrow finally shot out. Almost at the same time as the arrow was at the tail of the arrow, the arrow penetrated into the enemy soldier's body.
Xia Yan saw that his side had begun to suffer casualties, and it was known that something was wrong. Once his side, who had been struggling to lose combat power, he would fall into a vicious cycle, and combat power would be lost faster and faster. At this time, he could only hope that the other side would collapse due to excessive losses, or that his side's reinforcements would arrive in time.
Just as Xia Yan ran towards another enemy soldier who rushed to the city, a triangular bronze arrow broke through the air and attacked him. With a muffled "dong", he hit the head, shot through his bronze helmet and the cowhide pads inside the helmet, and then got stuck, but the tip of the arrow still pierced his scalp and stuck it onto the skull.
Xia Yan's head man's voice was like being hit hard by a sledgehammer, and then a severe pain came.
"Note that there are archers on the enemy!" He shouted this sentence with all his strength. The Chongguo enemy soldier who had climbed to the top of the city had already rushed to him and was about to cut off the sword. The trench of a feather arrow protruded out of his throat. After he fell to the ground, Xia Yan saw the white hunting girl behind him, holding a big bow in her hand.
When Su Bohu was young, he also had the top sharpshooter in Su Country. At this moment, he was half-squatting on the floor of the watchtower, bent his bow and arrow, squinted his eyes, and searched for the opponent's sharpshooter under the bright moonlight.
The Chongguo's sharpshooter caught another target. While he was thinking about what reward he would get after returning this time, he pulled the bow round. "Swoosh...Puff", a beautiful arrow shot into the sharpshooter's temple at an angle of slanted down.
When Chong Bohu saw his sharpshooter being sniped to death, he hurriedly hid behind a big tree. Now he was at a loss and was at a loss.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers suddenly flashed among the grass plantings in the south. It turned out that Hua and his reinforcements rushed here after nearly ten hours of marching.
With Hua's order, the fifty Qilin Guards' compound bow archers beside him shot strong arrows at the crowd who were sieging the city.
At a distance of fifty meters, almost every arrow was shot without any flaws. In a few seconds, a large number of Chongguo soldiers fell down. Then thirty bronze shield guards and one hundred and fifty tiger shield guards rushed over.
The soldiers of Chong Kingdom, who had already suffered huge losses due to siege, did not survive such a blow and immediately lost their morale. They fled in the wilderness of night and were killed by the soldiers of Xia Kingdom.
The castle gate suddenly opened wide. Six tiger shield guards were in front and four tiger horned bow archers were behind, forming a simple formation and rushing forward. The archers kept pulling the bowstrings and shooting arrows. The shield guards pushed the shield forward and waved their swords, and slashed hard. In a short period of time, nearly ten people were knocked down...
...
In the whistle castle, Hua Zheng, wearing armored armor, listened to Xia Yan's report. When he saw Daji appearing at the door of the lobby, he was stunned for a moment. This is not surprising. At this time, Daji [Female Eighteen Changes] was already a beautiful girl with even bones, skin as cream, and delicate and beautiful facial features.
Looking at Hua's dazed look, Su Daji pursed her lips and said teasingly: "How much forgot about noble people, can you not recognize others if you haven't seen each other for two or three years?"
Hua smiled at her and said softly: "That's because you have changed so much...because you have become more beautiful."
Two red glows flew on Daji's face in an instant.
Fortunately, a Tiger soldier rescued her from shyness and entered the lobby to report to Hua: "Report to the Lord, we have captured the enemy chief Chongbohu."
"Come on."
