Chapter 1395 New Bow and Arrow
After understanding this, General Liu and the captain did not stop those around him from escaping, because this was exactly what they and Zhao Guangzhi and others in the pass wanted to see.
The two looked at each other, then turned around almost at the same time, and started to run away together with the people around them.
Both of them thought that as long as they ran out of the sight of those at the top of the city, their drama would be over.
However, things obviously won't be as simple as the two thought.
On the top of the city, Zhao Guangzhi looked at the chaotic scene outside the city and felt quite satisfied. He glanced at Yelu Hongfei and others next to him, suddenly turned around and bent down, and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Second Prince."
"Thank me for what?" Yelu Hongfei said with a cold face.
Although the enemy troops outside the city were retreating, everything was completely different from what he had thought before. This was not the result he wanted to see. In his opinion, this was more like a farce.
Is Nanping Kingdom so powerful?
So how did they defeat the Blackwater Kingdom's army? Moreover, they also severely damaged their army of hundreds of thousands?
So how weak is the Blackwater Kingdom's army?
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness, the Second Prince." Zhao Guangzhi continued: "The Nanping Kingdom's troops outside the city were hesitant when they attacked before, and now they are defeated like this. They must be afraid of your Shuiyue Kingdom's army and you. His Royal Highness is famous, and it is with the help of you and the Shuiyue Kingdom's army that we can scare them away and protect Yangyu Pass. The general will naturally be very grateful to His Highness the Second Prince. "
Zhao Guangzhi said it sincerely. It looked like the Shuiyue Kingdom's army had won a great victory and severely damaged the Nanping Kingdom's army. But in fact, from the beginning to now, the Shuiyue Kingdom's army has always been weak. They were not dispatched and not a single soldier of Nanping was injured.
"Are you sure they were frightened by me? Were they not frightened away by your 'exquisite' archery skills?" Yelu Hongfei said indifferently.
Zhao Guangzhi felt a little embarrassed when he heard what Yelu Hongfei said, but he still said bravely: "Of course it was you, the Second Prince, and the Shuiyue Kingdom's army who scared them away. Now those bastards from the Nanping Kingdom are simply Don't be afraid of our Blackwater Kingdom's army. This is all your fault, the Second Prince, but it's a pity..."
Zhao Guangzhi pretended to be regretful and shook his head.
"What's a pity?" Yelu Hongfei asked.
"It's a pity that they escaped. These bastards from Nanping Kingdom have killed so many soldiers from our Blackwater Kingdom. The general would like to crush them to ashes." Zhao Guangzhi said with a look of hatred.
"General Zhao doesn't have to feel sorry for this." Hong Qingyun said suddenly.
"What do you mean by General Hong Qing's words?" Zhao Guangzhi looked at Hong Qingyun with some confusion.
Hong Qingyun did not speak in a hurry, but waved his hand. Then, Hong Qingyun's deputy shouted loudly: "All archers in Shanhu camp, prepare!"
Wow!
The soldiers of Shanhu Camp, who had been on the verge of battle, came to the edge of the city wall in the surprised eyes of Zhao Guangzhi and other soldiers of Yangyuguan, and bent their bows and arrows towards the army outside.
"This..." Zhao Guangzhi was shocked and frightened when he saw this scene.
What the hell is Hong Qingyun doing? Could it be that he didn't know that the army outside was not within range at all?
That's not right. His performance just now was completely seen by Yelu Hongfei, Hong Qingyun and others. He shouldn't be unaware of this situation.
But since he knew this situation, why did he let the archers from Shanhu camp look like they were preparing to attack.
Even Yelu Hongfei looked at Hong Qingyun with confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Get ready!" The deputy general of Shanhu Camp ignored Zhao Guangzhi, but looked at the army outside the city with a murderous expression.
"shoot!"
With an order, countless arrows flew towards the outside of the city.
Taking advantage of this gap, Hong Qingyun spoke again.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, General Zhao, you may not know that the craftsmen in our Shanhu camp recently produced a new type of bow and arrow. This bow and arrow is more powerful, has a longer range, and is more accurate. Of course, for Archers have higher requirements, and not all archers can use this new type of bow and arrow," Hong Qingyun said.
"Longer range?" Hong Qingyun's words made Yelu Hongfei's eyes light up, and he decisively grasped the key point of Hong Qingyun's words.
Zhao Guangzhi also noticed this point mentioned in Hong Qingyun's words, but compared to Yelu Hongfei's excitement, he seemed more nervous.
If this new type of bow and arrow really has a farther range than ordinary bows and arrows, wouldn't the army outside the city...
Zhao Guangzhi's thoughts had just arisen when bursts of screams were heard outside the city. At this time, the army outside the city was still far away from the city wall. However, the people standing on the top of the city still heard the screams. He could hear it clearly and could see how miserable the army outside the city was at this time.
"Second team, shoot!" the deputy general of Shanhu Camp continued to give orders in a cold voice.
His words made Zhao Guangzhi and others' eyes twitch.
Accompanied by screams outside the city, Hong Qingyun continued to introduce Shanhuying's bows and arrows: "Our new type of bows and arrows can shoot fifty to one hundred meters longer than ordinary bows and arrows. If the archer is Giant, this distance can be increased further."
"Not bad, not bad." Yelu Hongfei looked at the soldiers outside the city who made miserable cries after being hit by arrows, and nodded with satisfaction.
The Mountain Tiger Camp is indeed the elite force of Shuiyue Country. Not only does it have sharper bows and arrows, but their archers are also quite capable. In addition, the army outside the city has no discipline at all. They are crowded together and run around like headless flies. The archers of the Mountain Tiger Camp can shoot without missing a single shot without even looking at it.
Hong Qingyun was also very satisfied with the performance of his soldiers. This new type of bow and arrow was developed not long ago. This was the first time it appeared on the battlefield and achieved good results.
And this effect was very timely for Hong Qingyun, because he had just expressed his position to Yelu Hongfei not long ago. It was the time when he needed to show his ability to increase his status in Yelu Hongfei's mind. The strength shown by this new type of bow and arrow and the results achieved would definitely improve his status in Yelu Hongfei's mind.
Compared to the smiling faces of Yelu Hongfei and Hong Qingyun, the guards of Yangyu Pass, such as Zhao Guangzhi, looked very ugly. Everyone had a sad face. Listening to the screams coming from outside the city, they felt their eyelids twitching and their scalps tingling.
