Chapter 357: The Rain of Arrows and the Roar of Swords
Following Chunyong's order, horses neighed fiercely in the Halberd Guard camp. Archers and cavalry were already standing on their horses, bows and arrows bent. The sound of the strings was sharp, and the whistling sound pierced the sky. Then, arrows rained down towards Su.
It shot in their direction.
Su Ling had quick eyesight and quick hands. Almost at the moment when the arrows left the string, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, have your weapons in hand and be ready to strike the eagle feather at any time!"
In an instant, everyone headed by Su Ling, Mu Yanqing, Lin Bulang, Wen Fanghua, etc., as well as everyone from Lanhai Pavilion and Hongshaoying all held weapons in their hands, their eyes solemn, and they were on full alert.
After only two breaths, he shouted angrily: "Let-"
A rain of arrows filled the sky, like dots of stars in the air, pouring down from the sky and bombarding the earth.
Su Ling and others all waved the swords in their hands, concentrating on them, trying desperately to resist the arrows that rained down. The sword shadows of Jiang Shanxiao and the seven-star sword in Su Ling's hand were lingering, and the sword energy was filled, impervious to wind and rain.
Even so, several arrow clusters almost brushed past his body, and then hit the ground hard.
The entire bamboo forest felt like a heavy rain, and the violent arrows all over the sky shone with a deadly cold light, carrying the most deadly aura as they fell from the sky.
Whether it hits the soil or hits the trunks, branches and leaves of every bamboo in the bamboo forest, there will be a banging sound.
Just like heavy rain knocking down the remaining leaves, the banging sound throughout the bamboo forest was like firecrackers, sounding continuously, and in an instant, the sound could not be heard without stopping.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the clear metal collision sound of eagle feathers, arrows and weapons colliding together, as well as the roars of the Jedi.
The popping sound of arrows piercing the body, the miserable wails and unwilling screams when losing life.
Various sounds intertwined and merged, shouting like a nightmare, echoing in the ears and shaking the sky.
In ancient battlefields, there was a saying among the military that a general is not afraid of an army but is afraid of an inch of iron.
The so-called "Inch-Iron Man" refers to the arrow clusters all over the sky. The attack range of these arrow clusters is so large, and the speed of shooting is so fast that the sky plummets, and the falling force contained therein can even penetrate heavy armor, let alone these arrow clusters.
What about the Jianghu people without armor?
What's more, these thousands of arrow clusters attack indiscriminately and without any purpose, and you don't know where they will attack, so it is impossible to defend against them.
But in a moment, under the continuous screams, the demon Siyi was shot down by a rain of arrows. Some twenty or thirty people were shot down. Some were hit by arrows in the chest, and some were hit by arrows in the forehead. Some were hit by only one arrow, but...
The most fatal part is that it turns over and falls, making no sound. It only bounces a few times and then loses any chance of life.
】
Some were hit by an arrow, but it missed the vital point, but just as they were about to raise their swords to block it, another arrow was shot before they could do it. This second arrow hit the vital point, and they had to scream in agony and fell to the ground dead.
.
What's more, the body was hit by so many arrows at the same time that it almost turned into a hedgehog. The body fell down and blood flowed profusely.
While Su Ling dialed Diao Ling, he looked at his own camp. The situation of Lanhai Pavilion and Hongshaoying was better than that of the Sprite Division. There were not many deaths and attrition, and there were only sporadic corpses of members of Lanhai Pavilion.
, about four or five people.
The dozen or so women in Hongshaoying were obviously not good at kung fu, especially the light kung fu. They performed it one by one, as if they were flying through thorny vines, flying up and down, and there was an indescribable sense of beauty.
These dozen or so women have already mastered their lightness skills and can easily cope with the rain of arrows. Apart from them, whether they are from the Demon Division or the Lanhai Pavilion, almost everyone is covered in glory, more or less, they are not critical.
The deadly body was studded with arrows.
Mu Yanqing waved the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and in an instant, the light filled her body, covering her whole body. The umbrella really became a shield for her from the wind and rain. Those arrows hit the oil-paper umbrella like a waterfall.
, it only made a banging sound, and sparks flew everywhere, but could not penetrate the umbrella cover. Mu Yanqing was able to cope with it easily.
Perhaps because of Mu Yanqing's special weapons, she was the most comfortable among these masters.
Wen Fanghua was not as good as Mu Yanqing. If Lin Bulang hadn't been next to her with quick eyesight and quick hands, never leaving her, always protecting him and her, she would have been shot several times.
Looking at He Changjing and Du Shuyi, they were still able to resist the eagle feathers for the time being. He Changjing was good at fighting on the battlefield. At this moment, he was using the bamboo wood beside him as a cover. It was better to use local materials, otherwise he would face the arrow with one arm.
Rain is also a bad thing.
Since Du Shuyi was protected by his brothers from Lanhai Pavilion, although his skills were not as good as Su Ling's and others, it was not a serious problem.
Su Ling felt relieved, and finally looked at Qian Chao. Qian Chao was indeed at the Grandmaster level. Although he was not allowed to use his cultivation in this kind of battlefield fighting, his speed of movement and agility of his body were still the best among all.
exists.
His movements were extremely strange. It seemed that he was not avoiding the arrow clusters, but that as his figure was fluttering, the arrow clusters were unable to enter his body no matter how guided he was.
Not only that, the ghost sword in his hand was so powerful that it was impervious to wind and rain as he waved it. Countless arrows around him fell to the ground like catkins under his swing. Su Ling was surprised to find that under his feet
There were already countless arrow clusters cut off by his ghost sword.
The Grandmaster is indeed a Grandmaster, indeed powerful.
Su Ling glanced at the gap, swiped his sword a few times, and held the Seven-Star Sword while dialing Diao Ling while moving in the direction of Qian Chao, getting closer. Su Ling then shouted worriedly: "Old leader, this is the case
Passively calling the Eagle Wings is not a long-term solution. We only have such a small number of people, and the sky is filled with arrows. It is really difficult to defend... Now in just a moment, we have killed and injured many people.
If they keep shooting like this, sooner or later we will be shot into a sieve! You are the Grand Master, you have to think of a way!"
While Qian Chao was concentrating on resisting the rain of arrows in front of him, he said in a deep voice: "Find a way? Although I am a great master, who dares to violate the punishment of that day... If there is no punishment of the day, what kind of bullshit cavalry is this?
It’s just a matter of a few slaps from me, and they will all be able to see the King of Hell! But if I really use my power as a great master now, I’m afraid I’ll die under the punishment of heaven immediately... I can’t do it?????????
??????? Try your best, what can I come up with..."
Su Ling was speechless for a while and said helplessly: "Then we are just passively beaten and consumed to death by them? How about you and I mobilize our bodies at the same time and rush towards those horse archers. As long as we can get close, we will attack
Cut off their horse legs and destroy those horse archers, and we may still have a glimmer of hope!"
As he said this, without waiting for Qian Chao's reply, he raised his sword in his hand and started to kill the cavalry at all costs.
Qian Chao had no choice but to shout loudly: "Su Ling, you are only in the eighth level, charging over like this, are you going to die? Do you really think you have a bronze head and iron arms? These are Shen Jizhou's elite, and those archers and cavalry are all If you have the ability to pierce a tree with a hundred steps, you won't be able to get close!"
Su Ling said angrily: "That's better than dying out of frustration!"
Qian Chao then said in a deep voice: "Forget it, for the sake of our temporary alliance, I will tell you that the Halberd Guard is a cavalry formation, and the number of horse archers is not large. I expected this siege There are at most a hundred horse archers among the five hundred Halberd Guards, so they don't have many arrow clusters. Although the arrow clusters are pouring down like rain, it is most likely that they want to concentrate a fierce attack first. The arrow rain offensive is an emergency landing for you and me. If my predictions are correct, as long as we survive for a while, the rain of arrows behind us will weaken. When the time comes, you and I can rush into the formation and knock those horse archers off their feet in no time."
After all, Qian Chao fought hard on the battlefield. He relied on his military exploits and iron fist to step up to the position of the head of the Sprite Division. Therefore, he was much more experienced in fighting the enemy on the battlefield and fighting in actual combat than Su Ling.
After listening to this, Su Ling thought deeply and said: "Old leader, what you said is right. In this case, just hold on for a while! ... Later, the arrow rain will weaken, so don't hold back. !”
"No need for you to remind me!..."
As he spoke, the force of the arrow rain really weakened. However, this time neither Su Ling nor Qian Chao moved. They were still waiting for a perfect opportunity.
Qian Chao also admired Su Ling's calmness from the initial panic to the present. He secretly thought that this boy named Su was really thoughtful. I only said that the arrow rain would be weaker before attacking. I thought he would be stronger if the arrow rain was slightly weaker. I couldn't hold myself back. I never thought that he would be so calm and didn't take action immediately.
The opponent who knows how to assess the situation and wait for the opportunity is the most terrifying opponent.
Because, this kind of calmness means that he may in turn give the opponent a fatal blow at any time, changing the entire battle situation in an instant.
This Su Ling is still so young. If he can be tempered over time, it will be pretty good.
Not to mention Grandmaster Shangpin, it is probably not impossible to achieve the highest level of the Supreme Grandmaster.
In this case, we cannot let him live!
Qianchao had secretly made up his mind that he would not let Su Ling live no matter what.
But at this moment, there were many crises. Although he had good intentions, he also understood that if they did not join forces to rush out of Bohai City, he would not be able to touch Su Ling in any way. Then it would not be wrong to endure it for a while, leave Bohai and fight with him. It's something that goes against Tianhe. With my master's cultivation, it's not easy to crush him to death?
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Su Ling shout loudly: "Now, Qian Chao, this opportunity cannot be missed, it will never come back, take action!"
Qian Chao suddenly realized that at this moment, the rain of arrows in the sky had stopped. Although there were still a few scattered arrows, it would be extremely difficult to hurt himself and Su Ling.
After Su Ling shouted loudly, he was suspended in the air again. In an instant, like a swallow throwing itself into the forest, he plunged into the cavalry camp in mid-air, and a white light suddenly appeared above the heads of the cavalry.
Looking at Qian Chao again, we couldn't see how he was acting. He suddenly turned into a black energy, his whole body was almost touching the ground and galloped at a low speed, shooting towards the horse's legs of the cavalry archer camp.
Two streams of light, one black and one white, one up and down, like a blue dragon or a swallow, as fast as the wind, as fast as thunder.
In an instant, the figures of Su Ling and Qian Chao suddenly appeared above the heads of the horse archers and between the legs of the horses below.
Almost at the same time, both Su Ling and Qian Chao roared, the sound was loud and loud, like thunder!
"Lovesickness can't be saved with just one sword strike!"
"Destroy the Ghost Scream!"
Looking above the heads of the archers, in mid-air, there was suddenly the sound of sword energy splitting the air, and a dazzling and unparalleled sharp sword energy surged vertically and horizontally, like a waterfall, like a curtain, rushing like a waterfall, and slashed down unstoppably.
And on the ground, between the legs of the war horse, a vast black mist suddenly rose up. There was also a strange sword light, and the faint sound of ghosts roaring, like the three gods of the forest. Laughing, captivating.
The sword energy is powerful and can be destroyed with one sword. It is upright and majestic.
The energy of the sword is strange and ghostly, seducing people's hearts and souls. It looks like a ghost walking at night, which is eerie and cold.
Two completely different sword energies seemed to come from above the nine heavens and from the netherworld.
In an instant, the cavalry archers camp exploded.
"Boom——", "Boom——" Two shocking sounds rang out, which shocked everyone's ears and sent a buzzing roar, making the sound almost impossible to hear anymore.
In front of everyone's eyes, the heads and bodies of countless halberd guard archers were instantly separated from their bodies, with little blood stains sprinkled on them. Countless heads were raised into the air with grinning teeth.
On the ground, countless broken horse legs were splashing like rain, and blood flowed into rivers, dyeing the earth red.
Everyone will never forget this scene.
One sword after another.
Dozens of severed heads were raised to the sky, and countless broken horse hooves fell to the ground.
With one sword strike after another, most of the horse archers turned into headless underworld ghosts.
One sword after another, all the combat power of the horse archers was wiped out, and the power of the halberd guard horse archers was wiped out!
After the rain of arrows pours down into the sky, it is time for the sword to kill!
The cavalry archers' camp was struck by swords one after another. In an instant, they were in disarray and retreated like a tide.
Only then did Chun Yong react. He was distressed that his archers were gone, and shouted loudly to stop the retreat.
Fortunately, the Halberd Guards were all elites. Although the cavalry archers camp was defeated and panicked for a while, the remaining Halberd Guards cavalry camp stabilized their position in a moment, and the encirclement was formed again.
Su Ling and Qian Chao attacked them unprepared and defeated the horse archers, but it took a lot of effort. Now the Halberd Guards are forming an encirclement, but the two of them cannot defeat the encirclement no matter what. .
Chunyong's eyes turned red, and he roared: "Halber Guards, hold your spear and charge into the formation!"
"Here - execute! Kill -"
"Tap, tap, tap -" the sound of countless horses stampeding was heard, and more than four hundred cavalrymen with halberds moved upon hearing the sound. Their horses roared, and their spears surged like dragons, charging towards Su Ling and Qian Chao to attack them.
The two of them were about to be surrounded by the torrent.
Suddenly, several roars sounded from behind them.
"Kill everyone in Lanhai Pavilion!"
"Here!——"
"Red Peony Shadow, kill the enemy!"
"Here!——"
"Sprites Division, protect the division chief! Kill him!"
"Here!——"
"Kill -" followed by the shouts of killing one after another.
Everyone from the three major forces behind them drew their swords from their sheaths and killed them desperately.
In an instant, everyone raised their swords, spears and spears simultaneously, and the entire bamboo forest became a battlefield where Shura fought to the death.
