In the sky, with the sound of huge explosions, Xiao Chen jumped back and forth between many big trees in a panic.
Looking at the low adobe houses next to him, he really didn't have the courage to jump to the houses where it was easier to stay.
Those adobe houses could not withstand the explosion of a single gunpowder arrow, let alone the countless gunpowder arrows that emitted blue smoke following behind them.
The aftermath of the explosion almost knocked him over several times. The captain's uniform on his body was full of holes the size of fingers, and the cuffs were completely scorched by the flames caused by the explosion of a gunpowder arrow that he had no time to dodge.
.
His originally handsome face now turned as black as the bottom of a pot, with only two eyeballs moving back and forth, showing his vitality.
Different from the last time he was ambushed in the valley, Xiao Chen was particularly passive this time.
The last time was when Xiao Chen charged towards the top of the mountain. Just dodge the roaring gunpowder arrows.
But this time it's different.
This time, he not only had to avoid the arrow actually hitting him, but he also had to do everything possible to guide the arrow to hit him.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to make himself a moving target.
On one side is the safety of the government and on the other side is the safety of the people.
Although he does not have the compassion to save all sentient beings, he still cannot bear to see ordinary people suffer unreasonable disasters.
Originally, I thought that when the opponent finished one round of shooting and started to light the second round, I would seize the opportunity to attack the opponent's Chihu.
But he made a mistake in judgment after all.
Three to four hundred people, each of them delayed three breaths of time to light the fire, which was enough to make a continuous flow of gunpowder arrows in the air.
Just when Xiao Chen was a little confused, a loud voice on the ground cheered him up.
While he had attracted everyone's attention, someone launched a sneak attack on those thousands of households.
When they heard this scolding, all the archers were stunned.
Master Qianhu looked at him, each holding a crossbow in his hand, and suddenly he didn't know what to do.
Master Qianhu's skills are also extraordinary, but at this moment, he is being held up by the neck like a chicken. Is this true?
While everyone was hesitating, Xiao Chen yelled from the top of the tree: "Your leader has been captured, why don't you put down your weapons and surrender? The lives of your loved ones behind you can be controlled by your thoughts.
."
Before this action, many Gongchangwei soldiers were hesitant.
After all, after this operation, he was truly known as a "rebel".
You may not care about your reputation, but you can't escape the pursuit of the imperial court.
However, if you disobey Qianhu's orders, you will be killed on the spot.
Now seeing Qianhu being captured, everyone secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words on the top of the tree, they looked at each other, and the crossbows in their hands slowly lowered.
At the gate of the city, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves approaching from far away.
The thousands of households in the hands of Mr. Zhang are almost in despair.
Holding Mr. Zhang's strong arms with both hands, he used his last strength to shout loudly: "Leave me alone, shoot the people in the air."
There was a "pop" sound, and before Qianhu could finish his words, he received a loud slap on the face.
"If I hadn't worried about the arrows in the hands of the soldiers hurting people, I would really want to break your neck and make you reincarnate as a human being." Mr. Zhang said angrily.
As a member of the military front line, how could he not have a few close confidants who died?
While Qianhu was being served by Boss Zhang, three gunpowder arrows rose into the sky and shot at the back of Xiao Chen, who was standing on the top of the big tree and looking towards the city gate.
"Be careful." Mr. Zhang yelled, with anxiety in his eyes, as if it was too late to save him.
In anger, he held Qianhu's body and slapped the three archers who were close to Chi Chi with one palm.
No one knows how powerful Mr. Zhang is.
With a full blow in anger, the three archers were instantly pushed to the government office wall more than ten feet away.
"Bah bang bang", the moment they touched the wall, the three of them became three pools of meat.
The tall and strong government office wall shook a few times and collapsed with a "bang".
Hearing Mr. Zhang's loud shouts, the three gunpowder arrows trailing blue smoke were less than a foot away from Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's expression changed drastically, he exerted force on the soles of his feet, and jumped forward aimlessly.
Three gunpowder arrows landed on the tree trunk at their feet and exploded simultaneously with a "bang".
The entire tree trunk was instantly blown to pieces, and green leaf fragments were flying everywhere.
Xiao Chen, who had just jumped up, heard a loud noise coming from behind. His mind went blank for a moment, and he fainted. Like a fallen leaf, he fell to the ground from the huge smoke.
Wang Zhongzhen, who was hiding far away, no longer cared about the danger, rushed out from the corner of the street, stretched out his arms, and caught Xiao Chen who fell.
At this time, Duan Tianming had already arranged for men to take Gong Changwei's commander Zhang Xing and Dingxihou and leave through the back door of the government office.
Seeing Xiao Chen falling down, he rushed over without saying a word.
However, the distance was still too far, and Xiao Chen fell heavily to the ground, making a big hole in the ground and raising dust all over the sky.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen." Duan Tianming shouted loudly, waving his hands wildly, and rushed into the thick cloud of dust.
The sound of horse hooves at the city gate also arrived, and the more than a thousand fully armed soldiers behind them quickly controlled the area.
The dust gradually dispersed, and Xiao Chen appeared in the shape of a big character, lying quietly on the ground.
The captain's uniform on the back was blown to pieces and was a bloody mess.
Duan Tianming knelt next to Xiao Chen, not daring to move, as if he was lost in thought.
He just put his hand on Xiao Chen's shoulder and patted it gently: "Xiao Chen, wake up, wake up."
"Commander Duan, the troops guarding Longyou Road have arrived." Two Dongchang captains led a Qianhu, standing quietly beside them and whispering.
"Control all the archers. If Xiao Chen has any shortcomings, I will have them buried with him." Turning around, Duan Tianming roared.
Mr. Zhang in the distance turned blue and slapped the limbs of Bai Hu in his hand several times.
There was a sound of bones breaking, and Qian Hu was thrown to the ground. He greeted Wang Zhongzhen, who was about to check Xiao Chen's injuries, and turned to leave.
"Cough cough cough." A slight cough came from the ground, and Xiao Chen's body moved.
"Xiao Chen, are you awake? I hope you're okay, I was scared to death." Duan Tianming looked surprised, wiped the tears that were already rolling in his eyes, and prepared to help Xiao Chen up.
"Don't, don't move. Why does my back hurt so much?" Lying on the ground, Xiao Chen retracted his legs a few times.
"The gunpowder has blown your back to bits. Don't move. I'll find a door panel and carry you back." Duan Tianming hurriedly stopped Xiao Chen's movements.
"What, my back was blown to pieces? Look, is my face okay?" Xiao Chen said hurriedly, raising his head with great effort.
Looking at Xiao Chen's pitch-black face, Duan Tianming squeezed out a smile: "Okay, he's still as handsome as ever."
"That's good." Xiao Chen slowly lay down on the ground again, "The power of this gunpowder is really ridiculous. Later, we will catch the rebellious Qianhu and blow him up with gunpowder."
"Okay, okay. Blow him up with gunpowder." Duan Tianming turned his head to the side and whispered.
In the inn, Mr. Zhang sat quietly at the table without saying a word.
Wang Zhongzhen was restless, walking back and forth in the room, looking at the window and the door.
It seemed that he finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to Mr. Zhang.
"General, the young master is seriously injured this time. I would like to see him."
"What's the use of looking at him? Will you treat his injuries?"
"However, without looking at him, my subordinates are really worried. Three gunpowder arrows exploded at close range. The injuries are not minor." As he spoke, Wang Zhongzhen looked at the window a few more times.
Mr. Zhang shook his head and sighed: "Let him remember this matter for a long time. The safety of the people is of course important, but you can use yourself as a living target to challenge the power of gunpowder arrows. This move is really too impulsive. If it weren't for that year
He drank a lot of body-refining medicinal wine with me, and I'm afraid he has been shattered to pieces this time."
"General, I know you have good healing medicine, please give him some." Wang Zhongzhen's eyes were full of begging.
"Of course we have to give it to him, but not now, let him suffer for a few days. Taking risks like this is not just impulsive, but reckless."
Even so, the joy on Mr. Zhang's face could not be hidden.
