Chapter 727: The Heaven-defying Blade! (1)
Nantong City.
Nantong, located in the Central South Plains, has very hot weather in May.
The sky is gloomy, and thick dark clouds are like a dull ink-colored hill pressing on everyone's head and on everyone's heart.
On the wall of the south gate of Nantong City, General Zheng Keqiang frowned and looked at the weather, but he did not feel relaxed. Although the weather did not seem to be suitable for siege, his intuition still told him that something was going to happen tonight.
.
"General!" The deputy general came over with a bowl of soup with ice and handed it to Zheng Keqiang. "Seeing that it is going to rain, the Southern Tang Army will not attack the city, right?!"
Zheng Keqiang held the bowl but did not drink the refreshing juice inside. "Here's the order, everyone must not be even the slightest bit tired!"
"Yes!" The deputy general had been following him for many years and guessed something from his expression. He immediately agreed and hurried away.
Raise your hand and bring the soup to your lips.
Just as his lips touched the cold juice, a sudden and inexplicable chill ran down his back.
Subconsciously raising his eyes, he saw several large silver birds fluttering in the gloomy sky. Against the background of dark clouds, those huge silver figures were so obvious.
"Archers, aim at the sky!"
Zheng Keqiang threw away the bowl in his hand and shouted an order.
On the city wall, the soldiers and horses he brought have been replaced by the Nantong city defenders. After his careful training, although these soldiers and horses are not as good as the escort cavalry, they are still well-trained.
Following his order, countless arrows were immediately attached to the bowstrings, aiming at the dozen or so silver birds that appeared in the sky.
At this time, the big bird had arrived above the city wall.
"shoot!"
Zheng Keqiang shouted loudly.
Whoosh!
Countless arrows flew away from the strings, hitting the belly and wing feathers of the big silver bird like migratory locusts.
The sharp arrow tip pierced through the air, drawing out silver shadows like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the body of the silver bird and hit the bird's belly and wing feathers.
There was a clanking sound, but the big bird was not damaged at all, but all the arrows were broken, broken, or flew in all directions.
At this time, Zheng Keqiang saw clearly that those big birds were not real birds at first, but were made of silver metal. The riders on the backs of the birds were all wearing full-body armor, so they were not afraid of these arrows.
.
"Give me!"
Zheng Keqiang grabbed the bow and arrow from a soldier beside him.
Aim for the throat of one of the big birds.
With the force of his arm, the hardwood bow was instantly drawn as round as the full moon, and the light blue gas enveloped the arrow like mist. As he loosened his fingers, the arrow feathers came out of the string, hitting the giant bird. This time it happened
The sound became more and more harsh.
The giant bird's body trembled, and then returned to normal. The metal that made up the neck was still intact.
In mid-air, an arrow suddenly arrived.
"Hand up the shield!" Zheng Keqiang shouted urgently.
Countless arrows flew towards them, and before the city defenders, who were only focused on firing into the air, had time to put up their shields, the arrows shot from below the city were already approaching in the blink of an eye.
Puff puff puff puff!
It is unknown how many people were hit by arrows.
At this time, several large birds in the sky had already flown out of the city wall. Following the movements of the people on the bird's back, countless fireballs rolled down from the bird's back.
Above the city wall, the fire is rising.
Under the city, the arrows are still constantly scratching.
Under such a pinch, the soldiers of the city were unavoidable to fall into panic.
