The sharp arrow breaks through the thunder.
Countless electric arcs splashed and scattered in all directions.
The source of the sharp arrow is a bed crossbow with a silvery luster.
This crossbow made of morale was huge in size and had astonishing destructive power. The bow string buzzed and emitted a roar that could pierce through dozens of people. Several warriors surrounded the sides of the crossbow, two of them twisted the axle in tacit understanding, and four of them opened the bow.
After loading the arrows, the two men stared nervously at the dark sky and adjusted the shooting direction. The remaining soldiers were responsible for protecting the crossbows and ensuring that they would not be destroyed by the enemy.
With Fang Yan's exit, the situation began to stabilize.
He multi-tasked. While assisting Chao Lian with his speech spirit to ensure that he was in the best combat condition, he also issued orders to distribute morale in the city and transformed into crossbows to deal with the continuous falling thunder disasters.
These thunder and lightning look scary, but their power is still lacking compared to the one back then. Fang Yan does not believe that they are endless. As long as each thunder and lightning can be crushed accurately to ensure that the barrier is not too damaged, the enemy in the dark will sooner or later
Can't sit still.
What kind of thing wants to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in front of him?
The power range of the bed crossbow is related to morale.
The arrows they use also consume morale.
The war has just begun, and morale needs to be conserved.
Fang Yan kept estimating the morale needed to crush these thunder and lightning in his mind, calculating the frequency of their whereabouts, and ordering people to make enough crossbows. It takes time to charge the crossbow arrows, and including the effort of twisting the wheel axle and stretching the bow to load the arrows, gaps are easy to appear.
Being exploited.
No matter how you calculate, there will always be defensive blind spots.
At this time, the crossbows need to be fired alternately and take turns.
The remaining missing lightning can be left to Chao Lian to clean up.
Although they have been away for many years, many of the guards in Shangnan County are old people from the past, and Fang Yan is extremely convinced. Fang Yan is very good at using them. In addition, the guards are only thinking about getting rid of their merits, so the whole process goes smoothly and no one appears.
The problem was that the order was issued incorrectly or not in time. As thunder and lightning exploded in the air, the banging and banging movement was like a gorgeous fireworks show.
The common people who were hiding in fear cautiously poked their heads out.
Many people's eyes widened in surprise.
"Mom, look, it's a flower."
The child was held in the arms of the woman, and the mother and daughter were huddled together in the corner. The child pointed at the sky with confused eyes. She was less than five years old, and had been raised in a relatively stable environment since she was born, so she was not familiar with what her elders said.
She didn’t understand nightmares very well, and naturally she didn’t understand why the adults were so frightened that they were shaking into chaff when flowers bloomed on the horizon. Her father and mother-in-law took her to the lantern festival before, and there were such beautiful flowers. There were no such beautiful flowers at that time.
so.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, Aniang pressed it down.
Grandma said: "Don't look, don't be afraid."
As she spoke, she looked around and saw that the chaotic streets had become deserted, leaving only a mess. She no longer hesitated, and hurriedly ran towards home with her child in her arms. The fear from a few years ago rushed straight to Tianling Gai, and her legs were also weakening.
, seemed to have no energy, every step was like stepping on a thick pile of straw. She had a firm belief in her heart, and she overcame her fear. The child lay on her shoulder, looking up at the densely blooming flowers in the sky, with such colors
This was the first time she saw Hua'er. She murmured: "It's so beautiful."
The location where the lightning was shattered was very high, and many areas in the city could see this scene with their own eyes. Many common people who were hiding in Tibet stared at it blankly, their beating hearts inexplicably calmed down, and they kept pleading and praying to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky.
Don't fall down!
"ah--"
A scream suddenly erupted from a corner.
A fish slipped through the net and struck straight into the city.
Thunder and lightning broke through the darkness, illuminating people's faces and turning them purple.
Boom——
Terrible thunder exploded overhead.
This lightning did not hit the barrier in the city, but instead injured the generals who came. For a brave warrior, this power is not fatal, but it is enough to drink a pot. The residual current rushes around in the limbs and bones, causing
The martial energy in the body is rioting, and the blood is boiling and flowing backwards.
The military commander in mid-air could not stabilize her figure, so she was forced to fall to the roof of Fangshi and pause. In the next breath, she flew up again.
These thunder and lightning are controlled by people.
Their power and falling frequency are not fixed at all!
After a little understanding of the defense layout on Shangnan's side, he resolutely increased the coverage and quantity of lightning, but in an instant, dozens of "fish that slipped through the net" appeared indiscriminately. This brave warrior chose the nearest
She was not fully prepared for this attack, and her strength was not very strong. If she took the second attack forcefully, she would be seriously injured at least, or damage her foundation at worst, and it would be difficult for her martial arts to continue to improve.
It’s not that I don’t understand this truth.
But I also understand that without a way to survive, there is no future.
Fang Yan recited the words softly.
"... as a bow, with a feathered spear as an arrow, and as a trigger..."
Not long after, the deputy general came.
"Commander, there are not enough bed crossbows!"
Not only are there not enough bed crossbows, there are also not enough soldiers to coordinate with the bed crossbows.
The power of these thunder and lightning is not enough to penetrate the barrier, but it can continuously consume the defensive ability. If this trend continues, the enemy has not yet touched the edge, and their limits are about to be tested by the enemy. But at this point, they have been
No shadow of the enemy was seen. The enemy has not yet arrived, but it has full deterrence!
This is the first time in my lifetime of fighting that I have seen such a scene.
If those elite guards hadn't been deceived...
It won't be so difficult.
If there are not enough garrison troops, the morale provided will naturally be low.
Fang Yan was thinking about countermeasures and felt regretful.
He regretted that he only borrowed private soldiers from each family. If he had known this, he should have forced each family to provide hostages. With the important hostages in hand, they had to cooperate in defending the city. If each family worked together, they could still create a group of literary scholars.
Although the level of strength of a brave warrior is different, it is better than nothing. So, the deputy general saw the corner of Fang Yan's mouth move, as if he was mumbling something.
"...It's not too late now."
Is it too late?
What's too late?
Such questions popped up in the lieutenant's mind.
As everyone knows, at this moment, someone has already shown a frightened expression, and his facial features are almost distorted. It is extremely rare to abandon the manners of a gentleman from aristocratic family, and he curses ugly: "Fang Laoliu, are you still a human being? Do you believe it or not that I am ** him?"
!”
Fang Yan came to the door of the first home.
The old friend looked at the corner of his house in horror.
A servant just came to report that a large, brightly colored, strange mushroom suddenly grew out of the corner of the wall. The mushroom alone would not alarm the head of the family, but the insects lying on the ground next to the mushroom were highly poisonous at first sight.
, there are long and thin silk threads connecting the mushrooms, which doesn’t look like a good mushroom at first glance. My old friend came over to see if his legs were weak, and after digesting the scene before him, he began to curse.
Why greet Gu Ren but not Fang Yan’s ancestors?
Of course, whichever one is more lethal will be greeted with greetings.
Greeting Fang Yan's ancestors instead of greeting Gu Ren angered Fang Yan even more, completely forgetting that Gu Ren was also his old master. The old friend was so angry that his heart ached, and he held his heart and gasped: "Fang Laoliu, Fang Lao
Six, I’m done with you in this life!”
Fang Yan really deceived people too much.
The front foot came to threaten the borrower with heavy troops, and the back foot threatened him with poison. Although he didn't leave a single word, looking at this mushroom, he knew what Fang Yan wanted to express——
Want an antidote?
Come and get it.
Yes, these mushrooms are the poison given by Fang Yan.
This was the same trick he used to poison his entire family, but the government could not find any clues about his evil deeds. After taking revenge, Fang Yan decisively fled from his ancestral home. After many encounters, he met Gu Ren after many twists and turns.
As for this old friend, he relied on his family's recommendation to become an official, and not long after he became an official, he helped handle the murder case. He still remembers the look of mushrooms growing on his body when he did the autopsy.
He still knew from Fang Yan's mouth that he was the murderer of this murder case. At that time, considering that the court was gone and the two families were retaliating, Fang Yan surrendered to Gu Ren again, and his arms could not twist his thighs.
, this matter will be settled.
Never imagined--
Fang Yan would be so shameless.
The steward of the house waited carefully: "Parents?"
The old friend covered his mouth and nose with a dark face and asked people to leave these poisonous mushrooms without pulling them out or burning them: "Gather the young men in the house, 70% of them will be copycats to defend Sandao City! The remaining 30% will be left to guard the house.
Let the old and weak take care of it in the backyard."
Once this city is lost——
Young children and old and weak women took advantage of the chaos to escape first.
Blessed by our ancestors, we only hope to retain a trace of fire.
Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.
He also didn't forget to send people to inform other families and tell them about Fang Yan's sinister intentions. He clearly wanted to tie them up and die together. Those who don't want to die should defend the city with all their strength. Otherwise, once Fang Yan dies,
All those who were poisoned will be buried with them!
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the feud is settled.
As my old friend led people over, he scolded her even more harshly.
He was also a literary scholar.
Dissatisfied that the speed was too slow, he handed over the people in the house to his clan brothers, and rushed to the front line first. During this period, the amount of thunder that could not be stopped doubled to the naked eye. The thickness and color of the barrier were also a bit thinner to the naked eye, and
Thunderclouds also tend to thicken.
The old friend knew at a glance that the situation was not favorable for the defender.
"Fang Laoliu, you're going to die if you die. You're just going to see Gu Ziyi. Why do you have to drag me with you?" When he saw Fang Yan, the anger that he had finally suppressed came back up. He cursed in words, but still acted in actions. He accepted his fate and cast an amplifying word spirit on him, and said helplessly, "Shen Youli today is much more discerning than Gu Ziyi back then. How many people do you know who secretly want her to die without a complete body?"
Does he know?
He doesn't know at all.
Not only did he not know, he also wanted to risk his own life.
Fang Yan calmly revealed his old friend's thoughts: "I know, why don't you know? I'm afraid you are also the one who wants to see her die."
The old friend didn't try to hide it, and readily admitted: "There are people with some background who don't want her to die."
Shen Youli has affected the interests of too many people, and these people only chose to compromise when choosing the lesser of two evils. It does not mean that they are willing to be suppressed by Shen Youli all the time. If there is a chance to make a big bet, They don’t mind changing the day either!
Fang Yan said: "Too greedy."
All ambitions stem from greed.
Old friends scoffed at this comment.
In this world, there is no individual who is not greedy. Those so-called noble, upright and honest people are mostly hypocrites. Their satisfaction is just that they have not encountered temptations that are enough to impress them, or the rewards are not enough. In order to let them take off the false reputation given by the outside world. Fang Yan's evaluation was too light and his pursuit was too contrary to human nature.
Fang Yan just laughed emotionlessly.
Said: "I am not the one who can speak with my lips, but I can see the truth in my hands."
Who will win? The result hasn’t been announced yet?
The old friend knew that it was impossible for Fang Yan to come up with the antidote, and he also knew that if he threatened Fang Yan at this moment, he would be chopped into pieces with random knives, so he had to sigh and accept his fate. When he met Fang Yan, he really owed him. It was because of the murder case that Fang Yan created that he had been killed. He took the blame for Shangfeng's incompetence and his official career was not smooth. Within two years, he resigned and returned home angrily.
Now they are here to trick him again, and they will kill him as soon as they come.
Their horoscopes are definitely in conflict!
The old friend also wanted to make a few taunts, such as saying that his old nest had been hacked by the enemy. The next breath he saw Fang Yan's expression changing. It didn't get worse, but he showed a happy look to the naked eye.
Just because in a dazzling "thunder flower", three rays of light of different colors fell on Chao Lian almost at the same time. Then three figures approached quickly and went directly to the city wall.
Fortunately, Fang Yan had quick eyesight and quick hands to change the order.
Otherwise, at least two crossbow arrows would have been shot at them.
When he saw who was coming, Fang Yan was overjoyed.
"Pray for the book!"
Qishan was the first to climb the city wall.
He immediately found Fang Yan, who was in command.
The second person who came up was a familiar face. The last time they met could be traced back more than ten years ago. If this person hadn't followed Qi Shan, Fang Yan would have drawn his sword and hacked him. He endured it forcefully. The urge to take someone down: "Why is it you?"
There was no embarrassment on the face of the congratulatory letter.
Said: "I will explain it after this battle is over."
Seeing that Fang Yan was still wary, the congratulatory letter could only point to Qi Shan to vouch for himself: "Qi Yuan Liang can testify that today we are friends, not enemies."
Fang Yan sneered and pointed to the sky: "Would I believe it?"
"You have teeth that chatter, let alone brothers?"
He and He Shu were not of the same mind for the time being.
Qi Yuanliang can guarantee this.
Fang Yan could only give up temporarily.
After a while, a third figure also climbed onto the city wall.
A few people briefly greeted each other. After seeing this person's appearance, Fang Yan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Luan Gongyi and Qi Yuanliang were one of the most trusted ministers of the Lord, and their appearance meant that reinforcements were coming soon.
This time the danger will be saved.
Cui Shanxiao, who has been ignored all his life: "..."
No, isn't he a human being?
There are complaints in my heart but it is not the time to complain.
Cui Shanxiao just coughed heavily, as if there was a mouthful of thousand-year-old phlegm stuck in his throat. Even if they wanted to ignore it, they couldn't ignore it. When Fang Yan cast a confused and shocked look, he turned the knife fan in a fancy way, and said calmly: "Don't panic
, wait for Cui to fight with it."
Confident and confident, the focus of the crowd.
Qi Shan felt his teeth were a little sore: "You don't need help?"
Cui Xiaodao: "If you need it, lend me your literary spirit."
Qi Yuanliang, a man with a great literary career, was so cool and unrestrained in squandering his literary talent for free that his eyes turned red.
Pray for good things and agree happily.
Although they are contradictory to each other, they are all masters after all, and there is a natural tacit understanding when working together. Cui Xiao looked up at the roaring thunderclouds in the sky, and his heart trembled. He turned the fan handle in his hand and whispered: "If you don't see me, you will turn a blind eye."

There is no target, it depends on how you chop!
