The dense iron arrows suddenly made the execution ground look like a large dense wheat field. The black armor warriors who had been besieged with Yuli before were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Even those who were lucky enough not to die on the spot were all hit by several arrows and vomited.
With gurgling blood foam, only his last breath was left.
However, in this Shura field where it seemed impossible for any living thing to survive, a corpse that was pierced by arrows like a hedgehog suddenly began to squirm. It turned out that there was no way to avoid it, and Yan unexpectedly
Only by grabbing Deng Guiyi, who had been killed by him before, as a human shield, was he able to survive this deadly rain of arrows!
"A bunch of blind things! Who gave you permission to shoot arrows before I gave the order?"
Only a few steps away from Jiang Yan, Yu Li also pushed open the corpses of two mysterious warriors. The crossbowmen outside the execution site shouted harshly. But his eyes were still staring at the black man in front of him like a hungry wolf.
The boy with pupil eyes never blinks.
"It seems you don't have much prestige in the military!"
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Yan took the black-gold Xiao Tianmo in his hand again. Seeing this, Yu Li did not dare to be careless. He crossed the broad-backed saber in his hand and opened his stance:
"Stop talking nonsense! Only one of you and me can leave here alive today. And I, the general, will personally remove the heads of you three traitors and hang them as a sacrificial flag outside the city gate!"
"Bullying the weak is what a coward is best at. Stop talking nonsense and accept the move!"
Jiang Yan knew that the opponent had a numerical advantage. Even if he could defeat Yu Rei, the crossbowmen who were ambushing around the execution ground would not be able to let him go easily. They had to fight quickly. Therefore, he was unambiguous. When he finished speaking,
He had already used all his strength, raised up Xiao Tianmo and stabbed straight into the opponent's chest!
The black-gold weapon cut through the air and let out a low roar. The man and the sword seemed to have merged into one, turning into an erratic shadow on the execution ground. Yu Li also danced the broad-backed saber in his hand almost at the same time.
, there was a loud "ping" sound, and the two sharp blades collided heavily. The physical strength of the two young men was about the same, as if they had fought for the first time in Baisha Camp three years ago, and they were evenly matched!
"I, the general, should not have been so merciful back then. Today I will definitely take the life of you with my own hands and avoid future troubles forever!"
Yu Li's eyes protruded from his sockets, and his anger made his livid face become more ferocious and terrifying, full of chilling killing intent.
"Why do you think you can take advantage of me, a horseherd, after being defeated several times?"
Jiang Yan was not intimidated by the other party, and started to sneer at him. As he spoke, the long knife in the young man's hand continued to stab, chop, stab, and chop again and again. This was the best he had ever practiced in his daily life.
Although the sword skills lacked variety in the diligent demolition of mountains, the fierce and domineering offensive driven by luck made the opponent tired of parrying for a while.
However, Yu Li was not someone to take any easy steps after all. After taking a few moves without hesitation, he turned from defense to offense without caring about his own vital points being completely exposed. He raised his saber and stabbed Xiao Tianmo's blade straight at him!
The black-eyed boy knew that the other party was trying to force him to withdraw his attack, but he did not dodge. Instead, he gathered up more stamina and attacked more ferociously. Seeing that if he continued to fight, it was destined to be a lose-lose outcome for both sides.
There was another sound of bows and strings being drawn outside!
The sky suddenly darkened again, and dense iron arrows streaked through the air, emitting a scream that made one's hair stand on end. Out of instinctive reaction, the two people who were fighting in a ball stopped their hands at the same time, each dodged to both sides, and then
They each picked up the nearest corpse from the ground and protected their bodies again before the iron arrow hit the ground.
The scream that represents death is now separated from Jiang Yan only by a human skin that still has some warmth, suppressing him so that he cannot move at all. Time suddenly slows down at this moment, and the arrow rain does not stop at all.
It means coming down. In the execution ground, apart from the continuous sound of "tap thump", the only thing that could be heard was the young man's own heavy breathing.
When the sound of the bowstrings stopped, Jiang Yan failed to get up again. Instead, he huddled awkwardly behind the human shield, stretched out his right arm with his backhand and groped around his body. There were several bloody weapons scattered around the young man.
The arrows seemed to have been pulled out by him just now - it turned out that because the arrow rain was too dense, in this round of volley, several iron arrows actually penetrated the body and nailed it to the body he used to hold it.
Place it on the left shoulder blade and arm of the meat shield!
Every time he pulled out an arrow, Jiang Yan's body trembled uncontrollably, and Xiao Tianmo was thrown aside by him. At first glance, he didn't have any strength to fight back.
Yuli also stood up again. The corpse he was carrying on his shoulders had been almost pierced by an iron arrow. The smell of greasy human blood mixed with excrement covered his body. Until then, he
Only then did he realize that the person who saved his life was actually Deng Guiyi, who had been used as a human shield by Jiang Yan earlier and was almost stabbed to death by an iron arrow!
He glared at Jiang Yan fiercely again, but did not pick up his weapon and continue the attack. Instead, he waved his saber manically and roared outside the execution ground:
"Don't you fucking understand my general's order? Where is the deputy general in the camp? I will skin you with my own hands today!"
The young General Pinghai opened his two red eyes and glanced at the crossbowmen who almost took his life. Suddenly, he spotted an inconspicuous short and fat figure behind the military formation.
Stunned!
I saw that the man was dressed in neat and elegant clothes, which showed that he was different from ordinary people in his noble status. And the Crown Prince of Ye Kingdom, who had slipped away from the execution ground, was now standing next to him shivering.
Hengrou's face was easily identifiable. It was Qi Shouyu, the Marquis of Jinghai, who had not shown up since the beginning of the execution!
Realizing that Yu Li was aware of his presence, Marquis Jinghai no longer hid, stepped forward and gently pressed his palms to the crossbowmen on the left and right. The Xuanjia warriors immediately faithfully carried out the orders of the governor and put down their hands one after another.
The crossbow in his hand made way for him.
Seeing this situation, Yu Li was almost certain that it was this short and fat prince who had ordered people to fire volleys into the execution ground twice before. However, he had always been in awe of Qi Shouyu, so he had to suppress his feelings at this time.
Angry and questioning:
"What do you mean by this, Lord Warlord? The situation on the field is completely under the general's control, why bother to order people to release arrows?!"
Marquis Jinghai had no intention of explaining. Instead, he scolded loudly with a straight face:
"Are you really under control? As a general, you must know how to use retreat to advance, use defense to attack, use more to defend against the less, and use the strong to attack the weak. You rashly led a team of elites into the execution ground, but were killed by a company of weapons.
The little devil who didn't have any was killed without leaving any trace. After that, he didn't know how to retreat, and still wanted to challenge the opponent in a duel without knowing his own strength. If I hadn't made a decisive decision and ordered someone to release arrows, I'm afraid you would have become the general's enemy at this moment.
The sword is dead!"
"Even if the general does not handle things properly, the warlord must know that those arrows may kill me -"
"Shut up! You have all your martial arts skills, but you can't even dodge a few arrows? Since I have given you a helping hand and have the strength to pursue these matters, why not take advantage of the fact that the black-eyed kid is injured and take him out as soon as possible?
life!"
Although he heard what Marquis Jinghai said, General Pinghai, who had always obeyed his orders, felt that he really couldn't accept the other party's explanation. He suddenly felt tight in his chest, and the trust he had had in Qi Shouyu's unconditional obedience for many years was still there.
In an instant, it collapsed like a dam that had been eaten away by termites.
Yu Li's shoulders trembled slightly, but he did not immediately follow the other party's order:
"But what happens after that? After I kill Jiang Yan and the others, what are you going to do with me? How many difficult problems have I solved for you in private over the years? How many people have I killed because of this? But in the end I
What I want to get in exchange is not these iron arrows shot at me! When you went to Wuyun Cape to look for me, I thought that I was finally no longer alone, but after so many years, you always regarded me as
Just an obedient dog!"
Qi Shouyu also knew in his heart that he was in a hurry to defeat the enemy and ordered the arrow to be fired this time. However, Yu Li had obeyed his words for many years, but he had already become accustomed to ignoring the other person's feelings. Now he was only thinking about killing people, and not only did he not do well
He spoke of comfort, but his tone became more severe:
"Sometimes in order to win, you need to do whatever it takes. If you want to achieve great things, the first thing you must learn is tolerance. Could it be that all the things I taught you were fed into the dog's belly?"
"I only know that as a parent, you should be considerate, loving and protective of your children. But why do I always feel like a chess piece that can be discarded at any time in the eyes of your father? Are you my biological father? This flows through me.
Is it still your bloodline?!"
At this time, Yu Li, who was so excited that he could no longer think calmly, actually revealed the deep and dark secret between himself and Qi Shouyu in front of everyone. As soon as he said the words, he saw Jinghai Hou Bolan opposite him.
Bu Jing's face suddenly changed color, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. Only then did he realize that he had gone over the edge, but it was too late to save it.
The huge execution ground fell silent in an instant. No one expected that this young general who rose to prominence in Baisha Camp would claim that he was a bloodline of King Ye's family. The warriors in black armor turned sideways towards Jinghai.
Hou looked over, and Qi Zixiu, who was standing next to Qi Shouyu, was also shocked and turned pale. He pointed at him and stepped back:
"Uncle Wang, is what he said true? This matter is so important, why did you hide it for so long? Is it really just a show in front of the ministers that Uncle Wang supported my succession?"
"Your Majesty, don't listen to these nonsense! The serious illness I suffered when I was young has already made it impossible for me to have children. This is also the reason why I have never married and had children. No one in the palace knows about this matter. Could anyone else
Do you doubt it?"
Although Marquis Jinghai's words were not spoken too loudly, they were the only sound in the empty execution ground. The intermittent words floated into Yu Li's ears, stimulating his nerves again:
"Old thief! Is what you said true? It turns out that you have been lying to me all along!"
"For a general to disobey orders is to rebel! Get ready, crossbowmen!"
Qi Shouyu finally couldn't control the anxiety in his heart, and started to give orders while frothing at the mouth. Now the gap between the two has become established, and it will be impossible to explain it for a while. What's worse is that the iron fist method he used to discipline Yu Li in the past
, and now he is completely unable to force him to calm down. At this moment, the pudgy prince has only one thought in his mind, which is to get the other party to shut up his open mouth as soon as possible. No matter how unbearable he is, he will not allow it because of
Such a trivial matter has caused decades of great achievements to be wasted!
However, at this moment, Qi Zixiu, who was standing aside, suddenly rushed to Jinghaihou and snatched the Tiger Talisman he held high in his hand:
"All the generals on the sidelines listen to the order and are not allowed to act rashly. This person must be left alive!"
The prince gave an order, causing the soldiers around him who were already bending their bows and preparing to launch the third round of volley to hesitate. When Qi Shouyu saw this, he couldn't help but become angry:
"This man made things out of nothing and damaged the reputation of our Qi family. Does my nephew still think that he does not deserve to die?!"
Qi Zixiu had already decided that there was something hidden in this matter. Although he couldn't see the situation clearly for a while, he understood that if he wanted to ensure that his throne was foolproof, he must first take the initiative in front of him:
"Uncle Wang, are you so eager to kill someone and silence them? Are you afraid that the other party will reveal some earth-shattering secrets? Why don't you hand this animal over to the Tingwei Division? If the charges are proven, it won't be too late to impose the death penalty!"
Until now, Marquis Jinghai still didn't want to quarrel with Qi Zixiu in public. After all, the person in front of him was about to become the legitimate new master of Ye State, not to mention that he was doing so in front of countless people in the city.
However, Qi Zixiu, who was anxious and frightened, knew that this might be his only chance. Although most of the crossbowmen around him were soldiers brought by Marquis Jinghai from Baisha Camp, there were still more than ten on the sidelines.
There are two Mo Ling guards who accompanied him to watch the execution. These guards who were carefully selected by Xiang Baili are loyal to the Qi family. If there is a conflict between the two parties, he may not have no chance of winning.
Seeing that Marquis Jinghai did not answer, the young prince snatched a long bow from a soldier beside him and aimed it at the soldier's chest:
"If Uncle Wang refuses to agree, then he is acquiescing that the person on the scene is your own flesh and blood! In this way, from today onwards, there will be no uncles or nephews, only monarchs and ministers! If you disobey, you are intending to rebel! I am here
I will kill you two together!"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're tired today, so you should go back to the palace to rest early. I'll leave the matters here to my veteran..."
The pudgy prince did not expect that the situation would take a turn for the worse. Instead, he was defeated by his nephew, who had always had no independent opinions. His tone suddenly became stiff and cold, and even from a distance, people could clearly feel that
There was a sharp chill. After speaking, he did not continue to try to persuade Qi Zixiu, but stared at the person in front of him and muttered something in his mouth.
Strange to say, the Crown Prince, who was filled with righteous indignation just a moment ago, suddenly became like a docile sheep and put down the bow in his hand. The round eyes on his face gradually lowered, as if he had lost his soul.
But just when the pudgy prince finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to order people to escort him away, he heard a cry of surprise from the people watching beside the execution ground.
He knew something must have happened again on the field, and immediately turned around to look, only to see a slender black shadow flying in the sky - it was Yu Li who had lost his mind and threw the broad-backed saber in his hand.
Own!
The pudgy prince subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Qi Zixiu aside to block him. However, there was a loud bang, and the broad-backed saber was half-missed, and was inserted just a few inches in front of the uncle and nephew.
, the knife head sank half a foot into the ground, and the heavy handle trembled violently in mid-air, and was thrown on the prince's calf like a steel whip, causing him to wail heartbreakingly on the spot in pain!
Seeing that the prince was injured, the two teams of Mo Ling guards who escorted Qi Zixiu also drew their swords and surrounded him. Seeing this situation, Jinghaihou finally had to tear off the last disguise and roared to dispatch the crossbowmen on the sidelines.
Organize defense and prevent the opponent from getting closer.
In just a moment, the already chaotic scene became more and more difficult to clean up. Under the orders of the generals of the naval camp, countless iron arrows were flowing in the air, flying in all directions like man-eating locusts. The dense arrows
The rain shot down a group of imperial troops who charged forward, and also caused numerous casualties to the surrounding people.
"Hold on, hold on! Protect the Crown Prince and kill the rebels!"
Until this time, Marquis Jinghai still did not forget to confuse right and wrong in the military formation. The army of Ye State was strictly disciplined, and the archers and crossbowmen of the boat division unconditionally obeyed the orders of the man holding the tiger symbol high, and rushed to the front with Mo Lingwei.
They fell into a stalemate hand-to-hand combat. After all, their side had the numerical advantage. Mo Lingwei launched several attacks in succession, but they were all blocked.
As soon as the pressure behind him eased slightly, Qi Shouyu immediately turned around to look at the situation on the execution ground. However, Yu Li, who had thrown the saber to kill himself, had already disappeared among the corpses.
