Chapter 1394: Arrows Shot in Advance
"Er Gouzi, what do you think we are doing?" Among the crowd outside the city, an arrogant young man casually asked a man next to him who looked like he had just grown up while walking forward with the large army. The child said.
"Didn't the military men say that we are doing an exercise? We are now pretending to be the army of the Nanping Kingdom." The child said matter-of-factly: "It's really unlucky. I don't want to play the role of the Nanping Kingdom. I want to play our Blackwater Kingdom in the city." own soldiers."
"Just you? Acting as our own soldier, don't embarrass our Blackwater Kingdom." The young man who spoke before said: "However, playing the role of the Nanping Kingdom's army is really tiring. We were in the city early in the morning. Waiting outside, until now, I haven’t even had a sip of water.”
"Who isn't?" The kid said in an adult tone, "But I guess this exercise is almost over."
"Do you know this again?"
"That's not the case." The kid said in a arrogant tone: "Look, we are heading towards the city wall now. Next, we should pretend to attack the city. After pretending to attack the city, we should be able to enter and return to the pass. ”
The arrogant young man glanced at the city wall of Yangyuguan not far away and said, "What you said makes sense. However, if we pretend to attack the city, they should also pretend to defend the city. When the time comes, we will still Want to fight them?"
"The fight must be fought. It's just an act, and it can't be real. I estimate that they must use wooden weapons, arrows without arrows, etc. It's impossible to use real weapons anyway." The child. said.
"That's right." The young man said, "I wonder if the officials will reward me after entering the city. This exercise is also very tiring."
"You still expect the officials to give you rewards?" The child said with contempt on his face: "You are older than me, why don't you understand it better than me? After this exercise is over, it will be considered good if the officials can give you two more steamed buns. , maybe there will be nothing by then.”
Perhaps thinking of the usual behavior of the officials in Guan, the young man looked unhappy and said, "What a bunch of bastards!"
If they are unhappy, they are just ordinary people. The official is the boss, so they have to endure their unhappiness.
On top of the city, Yelu Hongfei, Zhao Guangzhi and others were looking at the team below the city with different thoughts.
Zhao Guangzhi was not idle. He stared at the advancing team while secretly conveying orders to the generals behind him.
The people standing behind Zhao Guangzhi were all his direct generals. Looking at the gesture Zhao Guangzhi gave, he understood what he meant, and then someone quietly withdrew from the crowd.
Soon, arrows flew out from the top of the city, and countless arrows rose into the sky at the same time, intertwining in the sky like a dragnet.
Seeing these arrows that suddenly appeared, Yelu Hongfei and Hong Qingyun immediately frowned.
After a short flight, the arrow began to fall and landed in front of the army outside the city.
These arrows did not hit the enemies outside the city, not a single one, because at this time, the team outside the city had not entered the shooting range at all. The arrows just fell in front of them, but the distance was not It's very far away, probably only about fifty meters apart.
"General Zhao!" Yelu Hongfei looked at Zhao Guangzhi and shouted coldly: "What on earth is going on? Are all your people idiots? Your people started firing arrows before the enemy army entered the shooting range. Do you think you are too dissatisfied with yourselves?" There are too many arrows, right?”
Zhao Guangzhi quickly raised his hands and said: "Your Highness, please calm down. Our soldiers from the Blackwater Kingdom are naturally incomparable to those from the Shuiyue Kingdom. Moreover, the shadow of the previous defeat at Shanling Pass has been hanging over everyone, so now we see the army of the Nanping Kingdom." When launching an attack, I was inevitably a little nervous, which led to such a mistake.”
"This is no longer an ordinary mistake, this is simply stupid!" Yelu Hongfei said unceremoniously.
"Yes, yes, His Highness is right." Zhao Guangzhi lowered his head and kept echoing, but from an angle that Yelu Hongfei didn't see, his face looked calm.
All of this was naturally his instruction. He didn't want to wait until someone outside came within shooting range before firing arrows. In that case, the damage would be considerable.
Outside the city, the team that was heading towards the top of the city was startled by the sudden rain of arrows. These people originally had relaxed expressions on their faces. As soon as they reached the city wall, the city gate would be opened, and then , they can enter the city, and the exercise will be over.
But what they didn't expect was that countless arrows fell down. The terrifying arrows formed black spots in the air, which made people panic.
"When I saw it, I said, there will definitely be arrows fired in the city." Not everyone did not expect this. The child looked proud at this time: "After all, it is just a drill, we haven't entered the shooting range yet, they He was in a hurry to release the arrow, but how can we cooperate? Those people in the city are too unprofessional."
The young man next to the child, because of his previous guess, did not have a fearful expression at this time. "Then we can only cooperate with those idiots in the city and continue walking forward. When we are within range, we can take advantage of the situation and fall." Come on, you can still have some rest.”
"That's true."
However, before the two of them could relax for long, they found that something was wrong, because after the whole team continued to move forward tremblingly for a while, they clearly saw that the arrows that fell on the ground had arrowheads! Moreover, they were not wooden arrowheads, but metal ones.
In other words, these were not the arrows used in the performance, but real arrows that could kill people!
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and dared not move forward half a step.
Everyone was scared.
This was completely different from what they had expected before!
"Run!"
I don't know who shouted suddenly.
However, it set off a chain reaction, and everyone subconsciously turned around and fled. Facing the arrows like locusts, they were afraid and dared not move forward.
Everyone pushed and screamed, and ran to the place where they came from with a look of fear, no longer calm as before.
The captain and the general surnamed Liu were also slightly shocked when they saw this scene, but they soon understood the strangeness of it.
It was obvious that Zhao Guangzhi inside the pass was attacking them, but this attack was obviously just a show, because they had not even entered the range of the arrows.
