Xiang Ju'an's command to lead the charge resounded throughout the sky. Jiang Yingnian had never found that Xiang Ju'an's voice had such deep appeal. He was obviously not close behind Xiang Ju'an, but he was still attracted by Xiang Ju'an's voice.
The sound penetrates directly from the ears, to the top of the head, and to every part of the body.
Jiang Yingnian felt goosebumps on his arms. He did not dare to slack off. He stared straight ahead with his bright eyes. When the time came, he commanded the archery team to release arrows in coordination. The arrows flew towards Hechiliu's army like a dense rain.
The joints of Jiang Yingnian's hands holding the bow and arrow had already turned white.
The Hechiliu Kingdom has always been good at forging weapons. Not only Xuli, but also most of the military equipment of other countries are ordered from the Hechiliu Kingdom. At this moment, facing the layers of arrows from Xiang Ju'an's army, the Hechiliu army also
A crossbow unit was sent to deal with it.
Their counterattack was undoubtedly powerful, and Xiang Ju'an's army fell down many soldiers in a matter of seconds. Jiang Yingnian frowned, staring at the flying arrows coming from the opposite side, and skillfully dodged them sideways.
The rhythm of Hechiliu on the opposite side was completely based on Xiang Ju'an's army. They were sometimes faster and sometimes slower. If Xiang Ju'an's army stopped, they would also stop, facing this disparity in strength with a playful attitude.
"Contest".
Xiang Ju'an pulled the reins with one hand, and Ba Zui seemed to feel something and turned around with a low cry.
Jiang Yingnian grabbed a crossbow arrow and said, "Brother, it's a crossbow. The new crossbow arrows they made are thicker than the usual crossbow arrows."
Xiang Ju'an understood clearly, but said without changing his expression: "Even if we lose to them in terms of weapons, as long as our morale does not drop, we will not lose to them."
Jiang Yingnian continued: "Their range is longer and their lethality is greater than ours. If they continue... I'm afraid, I'm only afraid of our army..." Jiang Yingnian smiled bitterly: "Brother, I'm not afraid of anything. I followed you.
You have been here for so long, how can I become a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Xiang Ju was silent. Jiang Yingnian took a deep breath and looked at Han Xu beside him. Han Xu's eyes were also firm. Jiang Yingnian said to Xiang Ju'an with confidence: "This time, let me do it!"
"
"You..." Xiang Juan's eyes were surprised and shocked, and he looked at Jiang Yingnian intently.
Jiang Yingnian returned to his usual nonchalant look and said, "Why, are you afraid that I will steal your limelight? You are already the boss, so you have to give us younger brothers some opportunities to perform, right?" He dropped the bow and arrow in his hand,
He picked up a dagger and said with a smile: "Don't say "the sword is not old yet", just admit it, General, you are old too.".br
Jiang Yingnian wiped the dagger with his sleeve and said, "You taught me well. I know you look down on me because I only know how to use a bow and arrow." He raised the dagger in his hand and said, "Fortunately, I
With the best swordsman in the Xuli Dynasty beside me, my swordsmanship is finally usable. How many years does it take to encounter such a rare scene? Just leave it to me."
Xiang Ju'an's eyes quickly turned red. He, a tough guy like him, had never turned red because of a few words. Xiang Ju'an seemed to think he was being pretentious, so he cleared his throat and said: "
Just kidding, you said this is a good thing that has not happened in many years, how could I give it to you so easily? My brother is still clear about settling the score, let's do it next time, if there is a next time, I will definitely give it to you.
"
Jiang Yingnian lowered his head and smiled softly, tilted his head and said: "Since you and I are unwilling to give in, let's do it together. If I win this battle by luck, I will become famous overnight. I can always succeed by following you.
If you eat meat, you will definitely make more money than buying and selling!"
After saying that, Jiang Yingnian turned to look at Han Xu. Han Xu knew what he was going to say and said directly: "Young Master, I have been following you since I was a child. I have no other place to go. Even if I have to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire in this life,
, wherever you go, I will follow you."
"What are you still whining about?!" Xiang Ju'an said loudly: "I won't wait for you anymore, no matter who wins or loses, we should finish it as soon as possible! I, Xiang Ju'an, have had enough of this kind of useless life.
Well, just show off your weapon and let the knife in your hand speak."
Xiang Ju'an gave another order, and less than a thousand people were left to follow him. Their momentum was not inferior to that of thousands of troops.
Xiang Ju'an's army was quickly dispersed by the troops coming up from Hechiliu. Jiang Yingnian's mind went blank. He didn't think about anything. There was only one word in his mind: kill.
Kill, kill, kill!
Jiang Yingnian and Han Xu stood back to back, with some tacit understanding ignored. Without any verbal communication, they received each other's messages with their backs to each other, and flew around with themselves as the central axis, carrying arrows, and the two people created artificial images.
The circles went from merging to separating, and with a burst of painful shouts, the two circles gradually converged, and the two merged into one again.
The speed is so fast that it can be seen from the visible to the invisible.
Jiang Yingnian said in surprise: "Okay, Han Xu, your Han family has created the Sword God. This swordsmanship is indeed well-deserved!"
Han Xu said: "This is the last move that my brother taught me before he left home. I never thought that one day I would be able to use it on the battlefield. He once said that a sword is tangible but can become invisible. This is probably what he meant.
"
The team had been smashed into pieces. After Jiang Yingnian and Han Xu had dealt with the enemy troops around them, they quickly moved closer to where Xiang Ju'an was.
At this moment, Hechiliu's main army had purposefully surrounded Xiang Ju'an. They were consuming Xiang Ju'an, just waiting for him to be exhausted before they could capture him in one fell swoop.
The Bengshuang knife in Xiang Juan's hand was already soaked with blood. He just wiped it on his elbow, and the cold light of the Bengshuang knife reappeared, just like the coldness radiating from his eyes that should not be underestimated.
The tip of the crossbow of the Herculean army on the opposite side had already been aimed at his lifeline.
Several arrows were fired in unison, and Xiang Ju'an blocked them with his sword. However, the dense rain of arrows coupled with the crossbow shot's lethality could not be underestimated. Finally, a crossbow arrow passed through Ba Zhui's chest under Xiang Ju'an's crotch.
Ba Zui groaned, turned around, and carried Xiang Ju'an to hold on and gallop forward. It seemed to be looking for something. Xiang Ju'an noticed Ba Zui's strangeness and patted its neck gently with his hand.
Ba Zui kept moving, and with another blow from behind, it let out a low cry. Before Xiang Juan could check Ba Zui's strength, he suddenly stopped.
"Brother!" Jiang Yingnian stood ten steps away, watching helplessly as a crossbow arrow struck from behind Xiang Ju'an, passed straight through Xiang Ju'an's body, and flew out from his lower abdomen mixed with flesh and blood.
Jiang Yingnian and Han Xu rushed forward like crazy. Jiang Yingnian jumped up to pick up Xiang Ju'an and pulled him off his horse to cover him. Xiang Ju'an's expression did not change at all during the entire movement.
As if he didn't feel any pain at all, he asked dumbly and confused: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yingnian covered Xiang Juan's abdomen with his hand, gritted his teeth and growled in annoyance: "I'll kill them!"
Xiang Ju'an slowly lowered his head, and then he saw that his lower abdomen was bleeding. He was very calm and said, "Look, I told you a long time ago that swords have no eyes on the battlefield."
His voice became weaker and weaker, and after saying the last word, it seemed that he had no strength at all, and his lips lost all color.
Han Xu quickly tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and handed it to Jiang Yingnian. Jiang Yingnian folded the cloth and pressed it against Xiang Juan's wound. The light-colored cloth was quickly soaked with blood.
Ba Zui followed him from nowhere. He was tired from running and lay down directly in front of Xiang Ju'an, leaning down next to Xiang Ju'an's legs dejectedly.
It has been seriously injured, but it is still worried whether its owner will blame itself.
Xiang Ju'an stretched out his hand and stroked its blood-stained mane, and said, "Ba Zhui, you are good, you are loyal."
Ba Zhao whimpered and rubbed Xiang Ju'an's leg, taking a breath of relief as if reluctant to leave, and then closed his eyes with relief.
