Crossbow arrows!

In the contention among a hundred schools of thought in the Jishang Academy of the former dynasty, it was not only academics and ideas that kept pace with the times, but machines like hand crossbows were no longer a rare thing among the armies of the world.

Jingwu's Qingzhou ghost cavalry and the Mo family's black cavalry can be said to be equipped with crossbows for everyone. Although Tang Guo's research on crossbows is not as strong as the two, they are widely equipped in the army.

Although the sergeants of the patrol battalion generally don't wear crossbows, since they are practitioners among them, the specifications of their equipment are obviously much better than ordinary sergeants. Naturally, hand crossbows are also a cold and stern murder weapon besides long knives.

Abu was already mentally prepared for this, so he didn't panic too much. He opened his eyes and saw clearly that the arrows of the black crossbow arrows were piercing the rain curtain, and as he took a breath, his lungs were almost full. He gave a low shout, and the veins on his hands suddenly popped up!

Raise the halberd!

Swing the halberd!

The halberd taller than a man immediately created a whirlwind in his hand, shattering the continuous raindrops, and even directly knocked out a crossbow arrow flying into the air in the air!

Then the second crossbow arrow arrived in front of Abu, he threw out the halberd, and the crossbow arrow shot on the wooden pole of his halberd, just hitting the position where the iron was wrapped, and with a crisp clang, the crossbow arrow broke into two Duan fell into the mud.

Abu jumped up to catch the halberd that had rotated half a circle in the air, his legs sank, and he shouted loudly. The halberd turned in the opposite direction with his arms and swung out from top to bottom.

The halberd was heavy, and in Abu's hands it was like a giant ax that opened mountains. It was astonishingly powerful. Even if the two people in front of them were given ten more courage, they would not dare to take it so hard, so the two of them slammed on the ground with their legs without hesitation. Stomp, with the power of pushing back from the ground, they all flew backwards.

The halberd in Abu's hand still didn't stop. He gritted his teeth, raised his foot, and took another step forward. Relying on the length of the halberd, he managed to catch up with the two people who were retreating, and slashed down again!

In the middle of their retreat, the two had no way to avoid it. Although they were facing such a heroic blow from Abu, if they were ordinary people in the world, they would inevitably be a little flustered, but they were obviously not those who were not in the world. He is not a person in the rivers and lakes, but an elite among the elite of the patrol battalion.

They looked at each other, the long knives in their hands shook tacitly, overlapped each other, and greeted the halberd head-on.

The three of them slashed three times in a short breath, and the sound of six sonorous and powerful metal collisions almost formed a line, and Abu's halberd was blocked by such force, slowly a little.

But Abu's qi and blood had swelled all over his body, even so, he still chopped out the halberd with a bang.

In the rain all over the sky, two figures flew upside down, and soon fell to the ground, rolling on the ground.

But Abu didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, not because he didn't want to, but because right behind him, the other two knives were already entangled like snakes.

Since the patrol battalion in Ding'an City is in charge of the security of the whole city, it is natural that they will have to face practitioners. Over the years, they have already summed up a set of experiences and developed a set of offensives.

First use the crossbow to force the enemy to resist, and then the long knife followed by the first round of rush attack. Regardless of the result of the first round of rush attack, the person who just used the hand crossbow will entangle him again at the same time for the second round of rush attack. The round of offensive is almost impenetrable, without giving the enemy a little time to breathe, it is unknown how many masters fell under such an offensive.

However, Abu is not defenseless. Jing Wu and Tang Guo are old opponents. Naturally, any tactics against them have been studied. Abu was studying in the Tai Xuetang, so he naturally also dabbled in it. The reason why he spared no effort at the beginning. , just to find a little space, so that I can have time to deal with the other two long knives.

Two long knives pierced through the rain curtain and arrived in front of him in an instant, one slashed at the neck, and the other stabbed at the crotch very sinisterly.

However, Abu's chopping and chopping is over, and his new power has not yet been born. No matter how you look at it, it looks like he is about to die under the long knife.

However, Abu raised his arm slightly, but he had already lifted the halberd horizontally, without turning around, he directly thrust the back end of the long stick straight back.

Under the length of the halberd, the sergeant knew very well that the long stick would hit his throat first before his long knife cut. Although it was not the sharp end, the power contained in such a blow was enough to make him Throat bone shattered.

As a last resort, he withdrew his long knife and slashed towards the end of the long stick that was poking straight at him.

However, Abu suddenly took two steps forward, took advantage of the situation and turned around, the halberd spun around with his body, stabbed the sergeant under his crotch with the knife in a sweeping posture, only heard a muffled grunt, even though the sergeant responded Very quickly, he had already used the long knife to block the halberd, but the power contained in the halberd still caused him a small loss.

Almost within one meeting, Abu had already forced the four of them back, but at the moment he was not very happy. In his opinion, this was just a round of trial, and the result of this round of trial was not for him. Not great...

Chapter 285 Fighting

In a series of fights, it can be said that he did not hold back at all, but he still failed to bring any strong damage to the four sergeants. It seemed that the strength of these four soldiers was still above his estimation.

He didn't even have to turn his head to look, he knew that the two people who had been thrown backwards by him were already walking towards him with their long knives, even though they inevitably suffered a little from that chop. Injuries, but not enough to make them lose their combat power.

This is a difficult group of people... and if there are some ordinary sergeants from the patrol battalion, the situation will probably be even more difficult.

He knew that his time was limited, so he didn't wait any longer. With a slight shake of the halberd, he stabbed straight forward, facing the two long knives, and continued to move forward. Although the alley was not suitable for the full use of the halberd, just now Sweeping is also held in the middle, not the end, but after all, this is a weapon on the battlefield, a weapon for group battles!

So he didn't wait for the four of them to merge, but ran forward one step ahead, and the halberd dragged a string of water splashes on the ground, heading straight for the two soldiers who were rushing towards him...

In just a moment, the long halberd pierced straight out!

Gao Changgong once said that he was more than powerful but not varied enough, so he chose a long halberd as a weapon for him. After several fights, his long halberd was already firmly pressed against the blade of a long knife, and the spine of the knife It pressed on the sergeant's chest.

Gotta get out of this alley...

Abu looked at the other three people who surrounded him, and his breathing became more and more rapid. The halberd weighs twenty catties, and it is not a weapon that can be used for a long time. In the round of swinging and fighting just now, the energy he expended was definitely a few times that of the other four people. times as much.

He seemed to be planning to take a step closer, pressing down on the blade so that the sharp edge would cut directly into the sergeant's flesh and blood, but he never expected that he would suddenly retract the halberd, leap over the sergeant's head, and push the halberd backwards. Ba, swept the sergeant out, and happened to bump into the three people who were swinging their knives head-on.

Abu didn't have time to look back, so he ran towards the entrance of the alley.

The screams in the wind and rain sounded again, with a cold death smell, Abu raised his brows, his legs slumped to one side, at the same time, a crossbow arrow happened to pass by his side face, and then he waved his long The halberd picked up another crossbow arrow and continued to move forward.

But soon, soon, the third and fourth crossbow bolts arrived again!

For the first time, Abu realized that he hated hand crossbows so much. Those seemingly light but full-bodied crossbow arrows chased his footsteps like maggots on tarsus bones, leaving him nowhere to escape.

He is not a tiger and leopard rider in the sea, and he is not wearing iron armor that can withstand arrows. If he really runs away without hesitation, he is afraid that he will turn into a cold corpse in a few moments.

Of course he couldn't let those people succeed, so the next moment.In his hand, the halberd seemed to have turned into a windmill, with a cold knife light, cutting through the rain, and with the thunder rolling in the air, Abu spun around, and the halberd struck with great force. Go, and cut on a long knife that was chasing after him.

Immediately afterwards, another long knife went straight from the side along the wooden pole of the halberd to Abu's fingers holding the middle of the halberd. The sergeant had already seen that half of Abu's supernatural power was relying on the heavy halberd. , in that case, just force him to let go!

But Abu suddenly raised the end of the halberd, raised it from bottom to top, and hit the arm holding the knife directly!

bingo!Abu was excited. Although the end of the halberd had no sharp edge, even a practitioner's arm could hardly bear such power.

The sergeant snorted, the long knife fell to the ground, and he staggered a few steps back with his arm covered. Looking from Abu's side, the covered arm was obviously broken. Even if he could hold the knife with his left hand, the dexterity of his left and right hands The degree is very different, and to some extent, it is already half a useless person.

However, Abu knew that he was physically exhausted, and he didn't know how long he could last.

Watching the other two inspecting the injury of Pao Ze, Abu turned around again and fled with all his might, dragging his halberd.

The range of Tang Guo's hand crossbow is not as good as that of Mohist's hand crossbow. The stable distance can only reach a hundred steps. Beyond this distance, it is difficult to guarantee the kill. What he wants is to run out of this hundred steps.

Just now several sergeants have shot the crossbow arrows in their hands, and it will take some time to temporarily reload the crossbow.

Taking advantage of this time difference, Abu insisted on keeping a considerable distance from them.

The two sergeants tucked their crossbows back to their waists, nodded slightly to the other person, and motioned him to take care of the seriously injured Pao Ze, and then chased after Abu with a knife.

Abu dragged his halberd all the way, and there was no obstacle in front of him.

But this is just his own idea.

The sky was gloomy like a nightmare, and the rain was pouring on his face. Abu squinted his eyes and ran forward all the way, almost out of the alley, but at this moment, there was a small handleless sword coming towards him.

The little sword is all black, the light is introverted, and it is even more difficult to distinguish its shape in the rain. It is eerie and strange. When it passed through the heavy rain curtain and was discovered, it had already reached Abu's eyes.

Abu wanted to raise the halberd to resist, but found that the heavy halberd had no time to react like this.

The small sword passed through the wooden pole of the halberd, and approached his throat. The cold edge touched his skin, and he felt a bit of pain. Fear finally flooded up like a tide.

Am I... am I going to die?

But before he turned his head around, there was a sound of gold and iron intertwined in his throat!

A gleaming dagger came from nowhere, and at this critical moment, it rushed straight into his throat, and it unexpectedly knocked the black handleless little sword into the air!

Afterwards, the gleaming dagger and the black handleless sword kept entangled in the air, collided with each other, entangled and separated again. It looked like a pair of black and white birds expressing love to each other in the heavy rain, but there was a full sense of lingering in them. Bitter taste.

And as the dagger continued to climb, it finally got rid of the entanglement of the small sword without a handle, and disappeared in a flash like a bird throwing itself into a forest.

Then, with a groan of pain, on the roof, a sergeant in armor rolled down, rolled up a lot of tiles and fell to the roof with him.

The small black handleless sword also seemed to have been drained of strength, fluttering feebly, and soon fell to the ground.

Abu did not hesitate too much, no matter who is controlling the dagger, but this sergeant is obviously the spiritual practitioner who controls the small sword. He ran, shouted loudly, and stabbed straight through with the long halberd Sergeant who just stood up!

The blood flowed slowly along the edge of the halberd, but was quickly washed away by the heavy rain, and the bloody rain fell to the ground, where cruel and magnificent flowers bloomed.

At this time, the dagger finally fell from the sky, but compared with the fierce force before, the flight trajectory of this shiny dagger is now a bit depressed, crooked like a drunk drunk, Suddenly up and down, suddenly fell in front of Abu.

Abu stared blankly at the dagger in front of him, not knowing who was manipulating it, but at least from this point of view, the man also suffered some injuries after a round of confrontation, and the connection with the dagger was no longer there. As close as ever.

Although there is no physical contact between spiritual practitioners and spiritual practitioners in many cases, the injuries are likely to be much more serious than the physical injuries of Qi and blood practitioners. Abu once saw a person who came back from the battlefield The sergeant, although he didn't have any scars on his body, after being injured, he became a disabled person who could only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

The more serious ones are directly becoming "living dead". Even if they are still alive, can breathe, and have a heartbeat, they seem to be drawn out of their souls and fall into a deep sleep. Little awareness.

When a doctor encounters such a patient, there is not much he can do except to prescribe a few tonics for health. Even if the relatives of the patient can prolong his life for several months by filling rice soup, if he cannot recover by himself, he can only do so. It's a sad change.

"Anyway, I hope you're okay." Abu murmured.

When he was fighting bandits on the way to Tang before, he was helped by an unknown spiritual practitioner, and he didn't know if it was the same person this time, but anyway, if he hadn't helped him block the sword, I'm afraid that now that I have already died, I don't know if I have a chance to repay such kindness.

But his emotion was only for a short moment. Footsteps and angry shouts came from behind. Three sergeants with knives finally arrived. Seeing that Pao Ze died in front of them, anger finally appeared on their calm faces.

The three long knives spat out white light like a wind and snow, tearing apart the rain.

Abu held the halberd in his hand, as powerful as pulling a mountain. With his arms, the halberd shook out a sharp flower in the air, jingling and mingled with the long knife.

Chapter 286 A Cloud-Piercing Arrow

The halberd danced like the wind, bringing up countless splashes of water, shooting in all directions, covering Abu's body, and blindfolding the eyes of the two knife holders.

After that, he swept away like a thunderbolt, and the halberd sent a person flying, turned around, and stabbed the sergeant of the patrol battalion who was already behind him.

A series of previous battles had already made Abu a bit tired. He knew that if he could not end the battle in a short time, he would be dragged to death in this seemingly narrow alley.

The three long knives were like a cage, constantly trying to block his long halberd, but the long halberd pierced through the air, but like a mountain axe, it smashed the cage into pieces.

Following Abu's stern shout: "Middle!", the long halberd broke through the rain curtain and the long knife's defense, and sank deeply into a person's shoulder.

Masses of blood gushed out, and the sergeant who was hit by the halberd let out a groan of pain, his eyes were piercing, but he did not escape at all. Instead, he threw away the long knife, stretched out his hands suddenly, and grabbed the wooden pole of the halberd!

For many years, Paoze died at the hands of Abu, and the clay figurines were still angry, not to mention these soldiers who were entrusted with their lives in the army. Even though the halberd penetrated into the bone and was about to destroy one of his arms, he still did not relax.

Abu's eyes widened, he yelled loudly, stomped on the ground, and pushed forward!

The sergeant kept retreating under the power of Abu, his consciousness was confused by the severe pain, and Abu dodged the two long knives coming from behind, his legs sank, and at the same time he drew the halberd, he kicked upwards, A big head soared into the sky!

"Old five!" The saber-wielding sergeant yelled loudly. They didn't expect that they would lose one more person so soon. They frantically held the long knife and pointed towards Abu's legs!

Abu's long halberd whirled around, stuck two long knives, and kept retreating at the same time. He kicked out the long knives that the sergeant had just dropped to the ground, and rushed straight at a sergeant with a flickering edge.

It's just that his heavy breathing has betrayed his inner weakness. Although the stamina of Qi and blood practitioners is much stronger than that of ordinary people, under such fierce fighting, he goes all out every moment. Originally, he felt He could hold on a little longer, but eventually fatigue caught up to him earlier and weighed down on his back like a heavy boulder.

He looked at the alley that was only a few dozen steps away from him. With his remaining physical strength, escaping might not be the best choice. If he couldn't get rid of the two of them, he might just waste his physical strength and die in the long knife. Down.

The best choice now... is to kill the two of them and forcibly break out of the desperate situation!

But how easy is it to say?

Abu bit his lip, and glanced at the scars on his body that had been cut during several rounds of fighting. The blood gradually seeped out of the cloth, and was quickly diluted by the rain. He knew that he had reached the end of his strength, maybe...

Today is the day of my own death!

Thunder was rolling, and suddenly several feathered arrows fell from the sky through the darkness and rain.

The two sergeants holding long knives had already swung their long knives at Abu, but in front of this unremarkable feathered arrow, they had to withdraw their knives and took a step back.

Then the feather arrow landed and sank deep into the mud, leaving only the white feather at the end of the arrow still trembling.

Not the short crossbow bolts of the patrol battalion, but the long arrows used on the longbow.

And Abu raised his head in shock, looking at the white feather at the end of the feathered arrow, he can be sure that this feathered arrow is definitely an arrow he has seen and even personally experienced!

Fish's arrow!

On a rainy night, Yu'er in a well-dressed suit kept running on the roof, and the quiver on her waist swayed with her vigorous figure. Although her whole body was already soaked in the heavy rain, her eyes still remained As sharp as an arrow, the moment she jumped out of the high roof of a house, she pulled out two feathered arrows from the quiver at her waist and put them on the bow.

Anyone who has used a longbow knows that to control two arrows is not just as simple as adding an extra arrow to the string. If the two arrows are not accurately calculated, they will soon become headless after being fired. Flies, bumping around, let alone shooting the enemy.

But Yu'er controls the string with one hand. She is in mid-air, but the movements of her hand are very skillful. As soon as her fingers are loosened, the two arrows have already left the string, and even slightly spun in the air. , roaring towards the two saber-wielding sergeants from both sides.

She didn't even check to see if her feathered arrow hit. When he landed on the eaves, he had already fired again, and the same two arrows were shot out!

The two sergeants stepped back and cut down the feather arrows with their long swords, but they were also a little shocked by the huge power contained in the feather arrows. The reason why the crossbow arrows are so powerful is because of the special mechanism and the rigid bowstring that has accumulated powerful energy. strength.

However, the arrows shot by a person with a longbow depend entirely on the material of the longbow and the strength of the person who opened the bow, and the woman's double arrows are not only accurate, but also powerful enough to penetrate armor. , amazing.

But the only pity is that this woman is not their friend, but their enemy.

On the high roof, the fish can be said to be running and shooting, non-stop, but within the time of five breaths, she has already opened the bow three times, and every time she releases the arrow, the bowstring is like a thunderbolt.

The six arrows were shot at the head, chest, and thigh of the two from different directions. Although there was still a gap in the middle, it was not as violent as the continuous arrows, but it was already hitting the shore like the tide, one wave after another. .

The two sergeants didn't dare to underestimate them, they stepped back and cut out their long knives again and again, chopping down arrows to the ground one after another, but at this moment, Abu rushed up with a long halberd in his hand!

Don't miss out!

Abu yelled loudly, his long halberd protruding like a dragon, one of them went straight between the two, swiping left and right, no one could stop him for a while.

And Yu'er fired four arrows in a row again, and then wanted to reach into the quiver to take the arrow, but the quiver was empty, there was no arrow to use.

That being the case, she simply pulled out the dagger, cut off the tape that bound the quiver, put the longbow on her back, and jumped down from the roof neatly.
