Facing the opponent's hundreds of elite soldiers armed with crossbows, and with only a dozen Dongchang captains and thirty or forty soldiers defending the city, it is almost impossible to resist head-on. The only thing that can be done now is
drag.
Dragging Xiao Chen to arrive and using his thunderbolt method to behead the opponent's Qianhu might be able to save the day.
"If I was afraid of implicating the nine clans, I would not bring anyone to the government office." Qianhu snorted coldly: "My purpose is to take away the commander and the Marquis of Dingxi. If you get out of the way, you can see tomorrow.
The sun. If you want to use the mantis as a chariot, I don't mind killing you before rushing in. Anyway, it is already a serious crime that has implicated the nine tribes, and killing more people will not matter."
Hearing the words of the other party, the Gongchang City guards couldn't help but look at each other. You looked at me, I looked at you, and the weapons in their hands gradually started to want to be put down.
"Hmph." The captain of the Dongchang School who spoke just now snorted, "Don't say we won't get out of the way. Even if we do, the whole world belongs to the imperial court. Where can you escape to? Instead of hiding in Tibet
It is better for you to lay down your weapons and be captured now than to be a bereaved dog. Gongchang’s disaster relief is about to enter the stage of water conservancy construction. It is very possible to save your lives and dig canals to divert water. You should think about it carefully."
Seeing how "stubborn" the other party was, Qianhu stopped talking nonsense and slowly raised his right hand: "I'll count to three. If you don't get out of the way, be prepared to be pierced by thousands of arrows."
"one."
"two."
"Three, let go."
Following Qianhu's order, hundreds of bows and crossbows were fired simultaneously. The rain of arrows in the sky was like dark clouds, falling towards the gate of the government office.
There was a clanging sound, and everyone hurriedly waved their weapons in an attempt to block the rapidly flying arrows.
The dozen or so captains of Dongchang used all their strength to wave the saber in their hands like a shield, blocking it in front of them, and they shot down countless arrows.
However, the strength of the Gongchang City Guards cannot reach this level.
In addition, the weapons in most of their hands were spears, and their vigorous swings only blocked the arrows flying towards their faces, and their entire bodies were shrouded in the rain of arrows.
"ah."
"Ah..." screams came out one after another, and the arrows focused on their armor were bounced away. But the joints that were not protected by the armor were completely penetrated by the arrows.
With both hands no longer able to hold the spears, more than a dozen soldiers were hit in the joints by arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
Since taking action, killing one person is a capital crime, and killing a hundred people is also a capital crime.
Gong Changwei Qianhu's face turned cold: "Keep shooting and shoot them all to death."
Three to four hundred archers quickly took out arrows from the quivers behind them, put them on their crossbows, and began to aim.
"Evacuate, everyone retreat into the courtyard." Commanding everyone to retreat through the gate, the captain of Dongchang quickly closed the gate with his backhand.
I originally thought that by delaying the situation with the other party outside, as long as Xiao Chen arrived, the crisis would be resolved.
But he didn't expect that he would become a target for the other party.
"Put on gunpowder arrows and blow open the gate and the wall of the government office." Seeing everyone retreating to guard the gate, Gong Changwei Qianhu didn't want to delay at all.
After receiving the order, Gong Changwei's soldiers took off the ordinary arrows from their crossbows and replaced them with arrows tied with gunpowder. At the same time, they took out fire folders from their waists and prepared to light them.
The faces of everyone behind the gate changed drastically when they heard that gunpowder arrows were being used outside.
Arrows tied with gunpowder are only allowed to be used in large-scale wars, because these arrows are too lethal and can easily hurt innocent people.
But now, the Gongchang Guard soldiers outside are using gunpowder arrows desperately.
As a result, the gate of the government office and the surrounding wall will be ineffective and unable to withstand the attack of gunpowder.
"Retreat, everyone, stay away from the wall." Calling to the remaining Gongchang City defenders, the captain of the Dongchang School hurriedly retreated.
Qianhu outside had no expression on his face, looking at the gate of the government office as if he had seen a ruins.
The people on the street lost the mood to watch the excitement at all. They quickly ran home, closed the doors and windows, and found a corner to hide.
At the corner of the street thirty or forty feet away, Mr. Zhang had his hands behind his back and an angry look on his face.
The imperial army used extremely powerful gunpowder arrows to attack its own government offices. In every aspect, this was a treasonous act.
Although I was dissatisfied with Zhu Di, seeing this kind of rebellion, I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart.
"General, should we take action? As long as we capture this Qianhu, this crisis can be resolved." Wang Zhongzhen on the side also said with an angry face.
He doesn't care about the trouble, what he worries about is the people of Gongchang City.
The disaster has just been alleviated and the city of Gongchang has just regained a little vitality. Will it go through the baptism of battle again?
Don’t these thousands of households know how powerful gunpowder is?
Three to four hundred gunpowder arrows were shot out, destroying not only the gate and walls of Gongchang Mansion, but the nearby people also suffered.
In the aftermath of the explosion, people's mud houses will collapse in pieces.
"You stand here, I will take down that Qianhu." Mr. Zhang ordered Wang Zhongzhen and was about to take action.
On the roof of a two-story building east of the government office, Xiao Chen's figure suddenly appeared.
In Libian's hand, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, he pointed at the Qianhu who was a hundred feet away: "We attacked the Gongchang Mansion Office with force, intending to rob the imperial court's key criminals. If you don't stop, I will make your blood splatter on the spot."
If it was normal, Xiao Chen would strike with one strike without saying a word.
But this one is different.
The gunpowder arrows in the hands of these three to four hundred archers were ready. Even if he killed the Qianhu, these arrows would still hit the gate of the government office and the surrounding wall.
At that time, people's houses within a radius of a hundred feet will be razed to the ground.
Not only his Dongchang captain and Gongchang city guards died, but also a large number of innocent people.
He survived the disaster, but died in the confrontation between himself and Gong Changwei. The people were too unjust.
Seeing Xiao Chen on the roof of a house in the distance, Qianhu narrowed his eyes.
He already knew Xiao Chen's identity. Not only was he an imperial envoy for disaster relief, but he was also a purple-clad captain of Dongchang.
At this point, whether he is an imperial envoy or a purple-clad captain, these identities are no longer important. What is important is his extraordinary skills, which are difficult to deal with.
If we don't get rid of him first, trying to rescue the commander and the Marquis of Dingxi from the government office is nothing more than an idiot's dream.
Immediately he pointed his right hand towards Xiao Chen: "Shoot him, kill him first."
The archer turned around and immediately aimed the crossbow at Xiao Chen.
This was what Xiao Chen was waiting for.
As long as you attract the opponent's gunpowder arrow attack first, you will be able to rescue the government.
Taking advantage of the panic, Duan Tianming was able to enter the government prison and transfer Zhang Xing and Dingxihou away.
"General, the young master is in danger. We have to find a way to stop him quickly." Wang Zhongzhen said with a worried look as he stared at Xiao Chen on the roof.
"Kid, even if you are very skilled, those are arrows tied with gunpowder. It's really reckless to trade your own life for an opportunity." Although he was blaming, anyone could see a trace of relief on Mr. Zhang's face.
This is responsibility.
The more critical the moment, the more clearly a person's true nature can be seen.
Before he finished speaking, he was already clinging to the wall and moving towards Gong Changwei Qianhu in the distance.
Seeing the archers on the ground aiming at him, Xiao Chen hurriedly exerted force on his feet and flew towards the nearest big tree.
He didn't want to make the house under his feet a target for gunpowder arrows because of himself.
Arrow after arrow, dragging streaks of blue smoke, flew towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen exerted force on his feet and jumped towards another big tree.
Behind him, huge explosions came one after another, and the big tree was shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
However, before he could clearly see what was happening behind him, gunpowder arrows followed him again.
With no choice, Xiao Chen could only avoid it again.
After dodging seven or eight rounds of attacks in a row, perhaps because of the need for fire, the ground attacks softened.
When Xiao Chen was about to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the thousand households alone, a voice came from the ground.
"Put down the bows and arrows in your hands and hurry up."
A gray figure stood behind Qianhu, holding Qianhu's neck tightly with his right hand and lifting his feet off the ground.
