In the Blade

On the official road, there were three figures riding war horses, and they had already arrived at the foot of Yizhou City.

The three people on the war horses were all wearing armor and dressed like soldiers. The leader was tall, with a serious face and holding a big spear. The other person following closely behind was short, but he carried a two-handed hammer. There was another person carrying a big bow, with 18 carved feather arrows on his waist, and his eyes were like hawks, just looking at them was frightening.

This was the team sent by the capital of Jiankang to quell the rebellion.

There were only three of them.

This was a battle between the evil spirits. It was not necessarily a good thing to lead more soldiers - after all, the combat power of most soldiers was at most the level of evil spirits entering the body. This force might be able to crush ordinary people, but facing a master with evil spirits, they would only become the other party's food.

But if there were only three people, it would be another scene.

These three people were all good soldiers in the army, and each of them had already reached the level of evil spirits.

The gunman in the lead was named Zhang Lan, and he was a fourth-rank general. He was able to rise from a soldier to a fourth-rank general. He relied on only the big gun in his hand and the 3,672 heads of thieves accumulated in his tent. He had been killing people all the way to this point, and his heart was as hard as iron. The big gun in his hand was as sharp as his heart. No matter who he was asked to kill, he could keep his face unchanged.

Just like now.

"Yizhou has rebelled, and the whole city is full of enemy supplies..."

Looking up at the tall walls of Yizhou City and the Yizhou people at the gate who seemed to be fine, Zhang Lan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Well, let's kill them all."

"It should have been done long ago!"

On the second warhorse, the short man carrying a two-handed hammer showed a grim smile.

The short man was named Cai Yi, and he was a fourth-rank general. If you only look at his body shape and height, it is easy to be overlooked - but this General Cai Yi was famous for his cruelty in the army, and his cruelty was even far greater than Zhang Lan who had killed his way up.

The most obvious example was the last time a rebellion was suppressed. That was three years ago. A rebellion broke out in the wild land of southwest of Dachen. The leader called himself "General Dragon and Tiger" and claimed that he would save the people from hanging, break through the state government, and kill the governor. For a time, the momentum was so great that it was faintly spreading like wildfire.

And the person who was responsible for suppressing the rebellion that time was Cai Yi.

"It's just a bandit."

After leaving this sentence, Cai Yi went to the southwest alone and easily suppressed the rebellion with his own strength.

However, the people of that state were all killed by Cai Yi in that battle.

Of course, in Cai Yi's words, this was because he had to do it during the battle with the "Dragon Tiger General". He had to kill everyone to ensure that there was no one to kill the Dragon Tiger General, and he could not go from the evil spirit entering the body to the evil spirit being released - but many people who are familiar with Cai Yi know that all this is an excuse. This General Cai just wants to kill people.

As long as he is given the opportunity to kill, he will cruelly slaughter everything in front of him.

And now, the opportunity has appeared again.

"These are all supplies. If we don't kill them, the two rebels will also be killed."

Cai Yi, carrying a sledgehammer, smiled and turned his head.

"So it's better for us to take action first and kill them all... Don't you think so?"

"... I still think that we should only kill the chief culprit."

On the back of the third warhorse, the man carrying a bow and arrow frowned slightly.

The man's name is Li Shanfu, and he is a fourth-rank general of Jishe. Like his official position, he is also good at archery - this is not an easy thing. You know, bending the bow and shooting arrows may be effective against ordinary people, but when facing those brave generals who have already entered the body and whose physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, the lethality of the bow and arrow has begun to become limited.

And when facing masters who can release the evil spirit, this bow and arrow technique is no different from a joke. Even if those feather arrows can pass through the sword lights that are swung out by chance, they may not be able to penetrate the invisible evil spirits that protect the body.

It is precisely because of this that everyone's real efforts are often on other weapons. Even learning a shield is far more useful than learning any bow and arrow - at least learning other weapons can be said to be promising in the future, and this bow and arrow technique can only be regarded as a soldier's skill after all.

However, Li Shanfu has been using bows and arrows all the time.

Is it a hobby? Or persistence? Li Shanfu himself is not very clear. He thinks that using bows and arrows may not be worse than others.

Of course, in actual combat, the shortcomings of bows and arrows were still reflected. When others picked up fierce swords and weapons, endured the evil spirit entering their bodies, and rushed forward to fight against a hundred people, he only had a dozen eagle feather arrows in his hand. After shooting the arrows in the quiver, his mission was over. Unless he also picked up the sword and chopped, he could not kill anyone with a bow without arrows.

But he still insisted on using the bow. He didn't think his bow was worse than other weapons. If there must be a problem, it can only be considered his problem, not the bow's problem.

There must be something he didn't consider, Li Shanfu thought.

After realizing this, he became more frugal in the use of arrows. Those precious eagle feather arrows were no longer used to shoot soldiers, but were specifically used to snipe enemy generals. Of course, it was difficult to do this at the beginning. On the one hand, he might not be able to distinguish the enemy generals, and on the other hand, even if he could distinguish them, he might not be able to shoot those masters who were far superior to ordinary people.

But it doesn't matter, he can practice.

Ordinary eagle feather arrows were thickened with arrow shafts, becoming as strong and heavy as short spears. The posture of drawing the bow was also corrected again and again, becoming as stable as a machine. After this hard practice day and night, he finally managed to attach the evil spirit to the arrow, and even nailed a tiger in the mountains to death with one arrow.

He could also nail the evil spirit to death with one arrow.

This was the second time Li Shanfu faced a master with evil spirit. The last so-called master was nailed to the ground by him with one arrow at a distance of fifty steps.

So he felt that this time, he didn't need too much process.

No need to attack the city, no need to kill everyone, just one arrow to end it all.

This is the confidence that the bow and arrow bring him.

"It should be that person."

With this, Li Shanfu drew his bow and put an arrow.

The target in the distance, although wearing an old robe, looked harmless, but with Li Shanfu's sharp eyes, he could see at a glance the unparalleled ferocity of this person!

It was obvious that this person had killed people, killed many people, many, many.

Even if it was just based on numbers, it was enough to pile up several, and the murderous aura was released.

It was a pity that he met him this time.

"Then go down... huh?"

Li Shanfu, who was about to draw the bow, suddenly frowned.

He saw clearly that he and the figure in the old robe had already looked at each other, but the other party still had no intention of taking out the weapon, and even did not touch the saddle bag on the warhorse beside him.

Facing the arrow that was sure to kill, the man was just bare-handed.

"I'm here to reason."

Li Shanfu heard the man say this from a distance.

Reason? The rebels actually reasoned?

Li Shanfu shook his head.

The arrow on the string has already flown out, like a meteor chasing the moon.
