Shen Yijia was eager to try, so Song Jingchen naturally wouldn’t disappoint her.
Next, Yan Guangmao perfectly displayed what a live target was.
In short, wherever he was, the direction of the arrows shot from the city gate tower was the same.
The range of the black iron bow was long enough, and its lethality was great. Unless he left the battlefield, he could only hide.
This way, it would be difficult for him to stay in the same place for a few seconds, let alone command. Moreover, he could dodge, but the soldiers behind him did not have the ability.
More and more people were shot and fell. Yan Guangmao was so angry that he looked at the city tower with fire in his eyes.
Shen Yijia snorted. This feeling of harassing him while knowing he was unable to hit her was simply too satisfying.
It was probably similar to how the Wu Kingdom’s army had thrown a few black gunpowder into the city from time to time to disturb Great Xia’s morale.
The soldiers on the city gate tower looked at her in admiration.
Fortunately, she didn’t have a tail behind her. Otherwise, she would have wagged it so hard she could fly. One could tell from the way she shook her head when she drew the bow.
“General, let us go out and kill the enemies too,” a general requested with cupped fists.
In the beginning, they had stayed behind to guard the city tower just in case. Now that they no longer had that worry, how could they be willing to just watch their companions fight a bloody battle here? They also wanted to kill the enemy!
Song Jingchen looked at the defeated Wu Kingdom army outside the city and Yan Guangmao, who had been forced into a corner by the arrows. A moment later, he said, “Open the city gate.”
“Yes.”
The city gate opened again. This time, their mood was different from before. Everyone’s hearts were burning with fighting spirit as they shouted and rushed to the battlefield.
“Hubby, I want to go down too.” Shen Yijia’s eyes burned. It had been a long time since she had a good fight.
Moreover, she wanted to compete with Bu Ren, who was born with divine strength.
How could Song Jingchen not know what she was thinking? With his understanding of Shen Yijia, she would definitely be like a fish entering the sea on the battlefield, but swords didn’t discriminate on the battlefield. How could he be at ease?
He thought for a moment and put on a troubled expression. “But I can’t pull this bow. The black gunpowder and Yan Guangmao… ”
Although it was very embarrassing, he and Xiao Qirui had indeed tried to pick up the black iron bow, but they did not succeed in the end.
As soon as he said this, Shen Yijia instantly felt that she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders. How could she still remember to compete with Bu Ren? She puffed up her chest and said proudly, “Then I won’t go.” She thought of something and muttered unhappily, “Yan Guangmao is too good at hiding. ”
Song Jingchen tried his best to suppress the smile on his face. “Then make sure he can’t hide.”
As he spoke, he took out two heavy arrows from the arrow basket behind him and nocked them on the bowstring.
Shen Yijia understood and immediately pulled the bowstring.
The two arrows flew out one after another, passing through most of the battlefield and shooting straight at Yan Guangmao.
Yan Guangmao’s attention was always on the city tower. When he sensed it, he immediately dodged to the left.
He thought that he would be safe this way, but the moment his figure froze, another arrow pierced his chest, causing him to take a few steps back before stopping.
This arrow had completely predicted his movements!
The newly shot arrows were not as damaging as the black iron arrows. They could not pierce through him, but the sharp tip still sank into his body due to inertia.
“Commander! ”
The soldiers protecting him exclaimed in unison.
It would have been fine if they had not made a sound, but this sound made the soldiers of the Wu Kingdom, who were already panicking because of the black gunpowder and the army that rushed out of the city, become even more panicked.
From “the commander was injured” to “the commander was seriously injured and unconscious”, when the news reached the battlefield ahead, it had already evolved into “the commander was killed by an arrow.”
The army of the Wu Kingdom was immediately thrown into chaos. Some timid people retreated in panic without even waiting for the bugle call to retreat. More and more soldiers abandoned their weapons and retreated in confusion.
The battlefield was in chaos.
Boom! Bu Ren hit Xiao Qirui’s abdomen and knocked him off his horse.
The sword in Xiao Qirui’s hand fell to the ground and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Young Master.” Xiao Li roared with anger. Because the two of them had been separated by a long distance in the battle just now, and there were Wu Kingdom soldiers rushing over from all directions, it was impossible for him to break out of the encirclement and rush over in a short time.
“Hmph, you’re nothing much.” Bu Ren looked down at him with a mocking expression.
The two of them had been fighting for so long and were both injured. This time, he had finally caught Xiao Qirui’s flaw and knocked him down. Of course, Bu Ren would not let him off. He swung his meteor hammer and was about to pursue the victory when he looked up and noticed the situation around him.
He gritted his teeth and roared, “The commander didn’t say to retreat. Why are you running?”
Unfortunately, the battlefield was too noisy and no one heard him.
Perhaps someone had heard it, but their instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm still made them choose to retreat.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Three times in a row, the sound of the golden gong finally sounded.
Knowing that the current situation was difficult to turn around, Yan Guangmao still chose to retreat.
Bu Ren was stunned. He glanced at Xiao Qirui, who was standing up with his sword, and rode away unwillingly.
A general raised the spear in his hand and shouted, “The bastards of the Wu Kingdom have bullied us for so long. It’s not that easy to escape now. Brothers, charge and kill them all.’
“Charge!”
“Attack! ”
Next was a one-sided harvest by Great Xia’s soldiers.
Yan Guangmao had brought nearly 200,000 people with him. Perhaps less than half of them left alive in the end. Great Xia naturally suffered casualties, but they did not lose as many people as the other party.
This battle where the smaller army won was called a legend even in the future.
Of course, the most interesting and unbelievable part would be the arrows shot from the city gate tower.
In the military camp, injured soldiers kept being sent back. The military doctors were busy, and almost all the soldiers in the reserve camp came to help. Although they were tired, because they had won two consecutive battles, everyone, including the injured soldiers, was full of smiles.
Some of them were even in the mood to describe the thrilling battle to their companions in the reserve camp.
Song Jinghuan circled the infirmary again and again. She had basically seen all her original teammates, except for Liu Jinbao.
Worried, she could only find someone in his team to ask.
“You said you didn’t see him from the beginning?” Song Jinghuan asked in disbelief.
“That’s right. He didn’t come when the army was formed. We all suspected that he had become a deserter. It was just that the situation was urgent and our captain didn’t have time to report it.”
“That’s impossible.” Song Jinghuan retorted without thinking. “He’s not that kind of person.”
Liu Jinbao was too timid, but it was precisely because he was timid that he couldn’t escape. That would be a huge crime that would implicate his family.
If Liu Jinbao was here, he would’ve said, “Thank you for believing me!”
The soldier she caught and questioned was busy escorting the injured soldiers. After saying that, he was called away to get busy.
Song Jinghuan frowned. Thinking of what Liu Jinbao had told her previously, she suddenly had a bad feeling. She bade farewell to her companion and ran out. Unexpectedly, when she passed by the kitchen, a hand suddenly covered her mouth and pulled her in..
