Chapter 643
For Yin Rou, Jiang Peng's attack was too fast, and she had no time to react. The opponent's palm had already reached her chest. At this moment, there was a roar from the side, and then a cold light pierced Jiang Peng's soft spot.
This attack was full of power, obviously a move by a spiritual master. Jiang Peng did not dare to be careless. He quickly retracted the hand that was grabbing Yin Rou, and stepped aside. With a swish, a cold light passed by his back. While being secretly shocked, Jiang Peng looked carefully and saw a woman in spiritual armor in front of him. She held a spiritual spear in her hand and protected Yin Rou behind her. She glared at Jiang Peng, and her beautiful phoenix eyes almost spit out fire.
Jiang Peng was startled at first, then laughed loudly, and said proudly: "Come on! I don't mind catching one more of you!" Before he finished speaking, the tiger-tooth knife in his hand pointed at the woman opposite from the bottom up. Before the knife arrived, the spiritual wave arrived first. With a sharp whistling sound, a vertical spiritual wave more than half a person high slashed the woman's eyebrows.
The woman who saved Yin Rou at the critical moment was her guard captain Xiao Min. Seeing the opponent's spiritual wave coming fiercely, she did not dare to resist its edge. She hurriedly grabbed Yin Rou's arm behind her and jumped out with all her strength.
Buzz!
The spiritual wave drew a long crack on the ground, which was barely avoided by Yin Rou and Xiao Min. But before the two of them could stand firm, Jiang Peng had urged his horse to kill him. He sat on the horse, looking down, and slashed Xiao Min's head three times.
Xiao Min's heart trembled, and she secretly said it was amazing. Facing such a powerful enemy like Jiang Peng, she could no longer distract herself to take care of Yin Rou. She could only push her away fiercely and then parry with her spear. Dang, dang, dang! Jiang Peng's three swords all chopped on Xiao Min's spear, but the latter was also shocked back three steps.
An expert can tell the outcome with just one hand. After three moves with the opponent, Xiao Min already knew that the opponent's strength was better than hers. If she wanted to win, she could only fight with her life! Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, mobilized her spiritual energy, and released the soul-chasing thorns at Jiang Peng. Seeing the spiritual thorns coming from the sky, Jiang Peng was not in a hurry and parried with the spiritual chaos wind.
The two of them fought back and forth. Jiang Peng had a deep cultivation and was much stronger than Xiao Min, but Xiao Min had already made up her mind to protect the princess at all costs. The moves she used were completely a life-for-life fighting style. It was not easy for Jiang Peng to defeat her in a short time.
On the battlefield outside the two of them, the soldiers of both sides had fought to a white-hot level. The Sichuan and Zhen cavalry were numerous, while the palace guards had strong individual combat capabilities. Both sides had their own strengths, and the fight was extremely fierce.
On the battlefield, cavalrymen were often knocked off their horses or pulled off their horses, screaming and falling to the ground; and the palace guards who fought on their own were often killed by the chaotic blades, or were hit or trampled to death by the horses rushing from all directions.
The scale of this battle was not large, but it was fierce. The sound of weapons colliding and people screaming at the brink of death had become one. There were corpses and wounded people everywhere on the ground, and the strong smell of blood drifted far away.
As the battle intensified, the palace guards began to lose their strength. They could barely hold on with a burst of momentum in a short period of time, but as the fighting time prolonged, their exhausted bodies could not support it. On the battlefield, the number of large and small battle groups was constantly decreasing, and the fragmented bodies of the palace guards were increasing.
Jiang Peng, who was fighting with Xiao Min, was very relaxed. In addition to the battle, he could also observe the situation on the battlefield. The situation was similar to what he expected. This was a battle with a huge difference in strength. While he was drawing his sword quickly, he said to Xiao Min with a smile: "Do you still want to fight? None of you can escape today, just put down your weapons and surrender. If you are pretty enough, I might be soft-hearted and spare your life!"
When had Xiao Min ever been so angry before? She did not reply, gritted her teeth, gathered her strength, and stabbed Jiang Peng's vital parts one after another.
Just when Jiang Peng thought he had won the game and was teasing Xiao Min with a smile, a cavalry suddenly rushed from the side of the battlefield.
The number of this cavalry was not large, but the speed was too fast. When the personnel on both sides of the battlefield discovered this small group of cavalry, the other side was less than 100 meters away from them.
Since this cavalry did not raise any flags, people could not identify the identity of the newcomers. The Sichuan and Zhen cavalry outside the battlefield reined in their horses and looked at each other with doubts, asking each other if the newcomers were their cavalry.
They were still guessing each other, stunned, and suddenly an arrow rose above this cavalry of more than a thousand people. The force of the bowstring, coupled with the inertia of the galloping horse, made the arrow fly at an incredibly fast speed. It rose to the air in the blink of an eye, and then drew arcs and scattered like raindrops.
"Ah! No, it's the enemy..."
The Sichuan and Zhen cavalrymen on the periphery realized that the enemy was not friendly, and wanted to turn their horses back, but it was too late. More than a thousand eagle feathers seemed to have eyes and fell accurately into the crowd. In just a moment, the Sichuan and Zhen cavalrymen on the periphery fell down in several rows, and both the people and horses fell to the ground together.
Looking down at the ground, the people and horses on the ground were all hit by several or dozens of arrows, and the arrows shot by the enemy were too powerful, not only piercing the armor of the cavalry, but also piercing the body of the warhorse. The tail of the arrow was exposed on one side, but the tip of the arrow was on the other side.
If you look at the opponent's speed, only the Mo country has such swift and fierce cavalry. If you look at the opponent's archery skills, only the Ning country can shoot such terrifying arrows. And this place is on the border between Ning and Mo. Now the Sichuan and Zhen cavalrymen both fainted. It is not clear whether the enemy is Ning's army or Mo's army.
They couldn't figure out the situation, but it didn't affect the opponent's speed at all. After a round of arrow formation, the cavalry was only fifty meters away from them. I saw the knights on horseback putting away their bows and arrows and lifting up the crossbows hanging on their waists. No one gave a command. The cavalry uniformly raised their crossbows and pointed them at the Sichuan and Zhen cavalry in front. Shoot the crossbow at the same time.
Buzz!
The crossbow arrows came faster, harder, and more accurately. As soon as the trigger was pulled, the flying crossbow arrows were already in front of the Sichuan and Zhen cavalry. Amidst the screams, at least a hundred Sichuan and Zhen cavalrymen He was knocked off his horse by a crossbow arrow.
At this time, the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces completely realized that no matter who the opponent was, they were still enemies! Now that the distance between the two sides was too close, bows and arrows could no longer be used. The Sichuan and Zhen cavalry picked up their spears, formed a battle formation, and assumed a posture to fight.
It's just that they can't use bows and arrows, which doesn't affect the opponent's crossbows. Moreover, the opponent's repeating crossbows don't need to be loaded when fired, and can continuously eject. After the Sichuan and Zhen cavalry formed a fighting formation, they became living targets for others, and the knights on horseback were shot. Row after row.
Soon the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces also discovered that the other side's crossbows were powerful, and it was not an option to stay in place and be beaten passively. People invariably urged their horses to rush forward in the face of the enemy's arrow rain. No matter how powerful the opponent's crossbows are, they can kill a hundred or two hundred of their own people...but they can't kill them all. The two sides will eventually come into contact and engage in close combat. When the two sides start a close combat, they will have to pay for their blood. .
They had a good idea, but the cavalry that came over did not come into direct contact with them at all. When the two sides were about to encounter each other, the more than a thousand cavalry split in the middle and split into two, allowing the Guochuan and Zhen cavalry to use their sharp edges. , passed by on both sides, but as they passed by, more than a thousand cavalrymen were not idle. They aimed their crossbows at the crowd next to them and started firing continuously.
It was the first time for the Sichuan and Zhen cavalry to encounter light cavalry using crossbows. They were not well prepared and did not know how to defend themselves, so they suffered a big loss. When the cavalry from both sides passed each other in a staggered manner, they looked at the Sichuan cavalry again. There were more than 200 empty horses in the formation of the Zhen Cavalry, and there were more than 200 corpses with crossbow arrows on the ground.
This mysterious thousand-man cavalry avoided the Sichuan and Zhen cavalry and did not turn back to fight with them. Instead, it thrust into the center of the battlefield like two sharp blades.
Jiang Peng, who was fighting Xiao Min in the center of the battlefield, also heard the chaos and shouts of killing on the periphery of the battlefield. He immediately judged that a new enemy had appeared. However, he could not guess the identity of the enemy. He was eager to find out. Knowing what was going on, he had no time to quarrel with Xiao Min anymore. He suddenly exerted his strength, waved the tiger tooth knife in his hand, and struck Xiao Min with all his strength with his shoulder and shoulder.
His knife was too fast, and Xiao Min had no room to dodge, so he could only parry it sideways.
Dang-swish!
Xiao Min caught Jiang Peng's heavy sword, but she was also shocked and staggered back more than three meters. At the same time, the spirit gun in her hand was knocked far away.
Oh no! Xiao Min still wanted to pick up her spirit gun, but Jiang Peng no longer gave her a chance. In an instant, he caught up to Xiao Min's side and slashed with his wheel knife.
Xiao Min had no choice but to give up picking up the gun and rolled on the spot. He was so embarrassed that he could barely dodge the opponent's heavy knife.
She wheeled out, but also made way for Jiang Peng. The latter ignored Xiao Min who was avoiding him, urged the horse forward, rushed to Yin Rou, stretched out his arm to grab Yin Rou's arm, and then gave the horse a He mentioned it and said at the same time: "Your Highness, you are so rude!"
Before Yin Rou could react at all, her body had already risen into the air, and Jiang Peng placed her on the horse. She first screamed, and then she lay on the horse and beat Jiang Peng again and again, but she was pink and tender. The fist hit Jiang Peng didn't hurt at all, but made Jiang Peng laugh repeatedly. He held the knife in one hand and pressed Yin Rou's jade back with the other, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you'd better save your strength." , we still have a long time on the road..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly found that there was a knife in front of his throat, a black scimitar that looked like a crescent moon, and this scimitar was stretched out from behind him.
This...what's going on? Who is behind you? For a moment, Jiang Peng's body froze, and the laughter on his face was immediately replaced by fear and horror.
