Chapter 52 The old days reappear

After finally realizing the true identity of the two figures in front of him who looked embarrassed, afraid, and cowardly, Dong Hu immediately wanted to pull out the sword from his waist and shouted for warning at the same time.

However, the warning voice had just shouted a word, and his hand had just touched the handle of the waist knife. Wherever Dong Hu's eyes were reaching, they were filled with a bigger and bigger fist.

"Bang!"

"ah!"

With a muffled sound, Dong Hu's nose bridge and eyes had already been hit by a heavy fist. Then, with a scream, Dong Hu's figure leaned back and fell to the ground.

"Canglang!"

When Dong Hu's figure fell down with screams, the Yanling sword on his waist had also been unsheathed, but the person holding the hilt was obviously impossible for Dong Hu to fall to the ground with his hands covering his face.

The knockdown of Dong Hu with thunder triggered a burst of exclamation and chaos, and naturally the two figures of Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong, the two masters of the East Star of the Tianyan Gate who were eager to open the road to life.

I have to say that they did very well, whether it was their previous expression control or their sudden attack when they arrived in front of Dong Hu five steps before they arrived in front of Dong Hu, they were all very well-known.

This allowed the two of them to gain the upper hand in an instant.

However, although Dong Hu was lying on the ground because he lost the first move for a moment, and the sword on his waist was also taken away by Kang Jinlong, he was completely at a disadvantage. Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong only needed to follow up and could end their lives within three or five moves, but the two had no time to take care of him.

Because compared to Dong Hu, a hundred households, the leader of the guard gate, there are more important goals that need to be solved by two people.

This target was naturally on the city wall, and had already reacted. At this time, the archers who had already held the horn bow in their hands, were preparing to open the bow and shoot the two of them.

So, Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong jumped up almost at the same time and rushed towards the city with the screams of soldiers around him.

Fortunately, the city wall, which was nearly two feet high, made it impossible for the two of them to jump directly onto the city wall with their light skills. Because the city wall was smooth and there was no force point for them to breathe and then pedal up again, the two could only choose to climb to the top of the city from the stairs next to them, just like others.

This undoubtedly gave all the soldiers up and down the city wall a lot of time to react.

"Swish~bang!"

The sun had already set, and the afterglow had dissipated almost. The sky was already dark, and the splendor of the bleak gunpowder in the sky illuminated the eyes of the person who saw this scene.

Seeing the fireworks exploded above the head, Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong couldn't help but get a little faster.

Of course, fortunately, the two of them were only focused on climbing up the city tower at this time, and did not follow the fireworks and looked back to see who released the fireworks to warn them. Otherwise, they were afraid that they might fall into endless self-blame because of regret.

Because the person who released the fireworks to warn him was the one who flew backwards after being attacked by them, and he only needed to keep up with Dong Hu, a hundred households who could be killed on the spot with a single knife.

In other words, it was because the two of them let him go that he had the opportunity to release fireworks to warn him, tied a noose around the necks of the two and their men, and made the noose tighter and tighter as time passed.

But there will be gains when there are losses.

Losing to kill Dong Hu, thus preventing him from releasing fireworks to warn him and gaining more time opportunities, Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong also got the opportunity to eliminate the archers who pose the greatest threat to their group.

However, the opportunity was placed in front of the two, but it was not so easy for the two to really solve these archers.

Archers are not good at melee combat, which is a prejudice that has been formed over a long time.

However, the archer is not a crossbowman. The crossbowman can use the power of his feet to open the crossbow string and fix it with a slurry. Before shooting, he only needs to focus his mind on aiming, but the archer cannot. He needs to draw a bow to force a powerful force. Before pulling the bow to aim and shooting the arrow out, it needs to be maintained, which forces the archer to have strong power.

As a archer, because of its huge threat, he often faces the impact of the enemy. In this case, he must remain calm and not panic. Such qualities are actually much stronger than most melee sword and shield hands and spearmen.

The reason why the archers are not good at melee combat is more important because of the appearance of thermal weapons, especially the emergence of artillery. Because the artillery has a long range and is always behind the front line. Once it is raided, it often faces the ending of only blowing up the cannons and evacuating.

What humans are best at is to deduce the so-called "reason" that applies to all things from one thing. Therefore, the reason why artillery cannot be approached or in close combat is directly extended, becoming the "reason" that all long-range troops are not good at close combat.

Of course, in addition to this, various scripts and other descriptions of war scenes have also deepened this view. It seems that once the archers are approached by the enemy, they will only have two ways of death and escape.

But they never thought that in a war with complete military services, when the closely protected archers were approaching by the enemy, so that they could only fight in close combat and defend themselves, the overall situation was obviously not far from collapse.

Under the general trend, if the archers can really turn the tide against the wind with their own strength, it would be too "magic".

This time, when facing a surprise attack from Fang Ritu and Fang Ritu, the situation is obviously similar.

Although the archers reacted quickly enough in the face of the two of them, and in a hurry, they also shot an arrow at the two of them.

Unfortunately, this round of arrows did not pose any threat to Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong, who were prepared for it and did not need to worry about other threats.

The reason why the two of them were not worried about other threats, especially the threat of pursuers behind them, was naturally because the soldiers guarding the city were completely exhausted at this time and had no extra energy to catch up and encircle the two.

Although Dong Hu shot the fireworks in the sky, it was indeed a very timely warning, after seeing his fireworks, the one who first responded and came to the rescue was not the reinforcements from the Five City Military and Ma Si or the Six Gate, but ambushed not far away, paying close attention to the situation here and was ready to come to support at any time.

Although the fireworks were not a signal for them to go to support as Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong left, they obviously could not remain indifferent when the fireworks exploded in the sky.

So, when Dong Hu shot fireworks into the sky and stood up to take his men to the city to support and encircle Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong, they discovered the enemy coming from behind.

With a similar number and worried that the newly arrived enemies would break through the defense line, open the gate, and escape from the city, Dong Hu could only turn around and face the enemy with his men, drag the enemy's large troops and wait for support.

As for the archers above the city, he was obviously powerless, and they could only ask for blessings.

Above the city, Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong, two second-rate top masters, were facing six archers, but they did not achieve a devastating victory.

The huge disadvantage in terms of numbers makes them not have many advantages.

Especially when the six archers cooperated with great tacit understanding, the five formed a formation to drag the two of them, and one person was still left behind to harass them with accurate and clever shooting techniques in the rear. Although the two could barely gain the upper hand, it was not obvious. If you were accidentally or distracted to pay attention to the battle under the city, you might even be ambushed by the arrows shot from time to time.

The situation was in a stalemate.

However, for the stalemate, their psychology is obviously completely different.

For the six archers, time is their friends, no, allies. They just need to try their best to hold on to the two of them and prevent them from easily killing them. They will be able to win after seeing the fireworks warning of the five-city military personnel and the six-gate constables arrived.

The enemy's allies are naturally the enemy.

For the six archers, it is an allies, and for Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong, it is undoubtedly the biggest enemy.

As time passed by minute by minute, Dong Hu fired out the warning fireworks and put the lasso around their necks was constantly tightening. When the support from the Five City Military and Six Gates arrived, the lasso on their necks was completely locked and they died on the spot.

unless...

Seeing that the six archers in front of him were unable to do anything in a short time, Kang Jinlong finally couldn't help but distract himself. He avoided another sneak attack arrow shot by the archer protected by the five companions. He had no need to worry about the arrow attacking again in his two breaths, and he was distracted and took a look at the situation under the city.

But this look made his eyes darker.

Just like him and Fang Ritu on the top of the city, there was no progress. Under the top of the city, their group of soldiers who were fighting in full swing seemed much more lively than theirs, but their progress was also pitifully less.

Although they had a slight advantage in number, with the city guards with Dong Hu, a hundred households, constantly commanding and giving full play to the advantages of spearmen and swords and shields, the killers of the Tianyanmen Dongjitian had no advantage at all.

When Kang Jinlong saw this scene, he couldn't help but regret why he didn't chase him and killed Dong Hu first.

Thinking of the warning fireworks that flew into the sky not long ago, he couldn't help but feel more and more regretful.

"Swoosh!"

Just as his mind was still immersed in regret, a whistling sound suddenly came from his ears that made his hair tremble all over his body.

After a slightly embarrassed roll, a feather arrow flew over from where he was just now.

Fearing that he was so scared that his back was instantly wet with cold sweat. When his eyes passed over the bodies of the five archers and saw the slightly regretful look in the archers' eyes, the thought that had just appeared in his heart immediately grew wildly like wild weeds, completely filling his heart.

"Is it okay?"

Fang Ritu, who was shocked because Kang Jinlong was distracted and was almost shot on the spot, and because Kang Jinlong rolled to the ground and left the battle, instantly doubled his pressure. He couldn't help but ask with concern.

But what Kang Jinlong responded to him was not an answer like "It's okay.", but an act that made him stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel angry.

"Kang Jinlong!"

And because he was too angry, he couldn't help but roar.

But just now, Kang Jinlong and his two men responded to the enemy, Kang Jinlong was almost shot into the vital point by the only archer who was holding a horn bow and conducting a sneak attack because of a brief distraction. He died on the spot. Now that he was the only one who tried to respond to the enemy, how could he avoid the sneak attack by the archer who had a bright light and found a good opportunity to attack?

"Swoosh!"

Accompanied by another scream of feather arrows cutting through the air, feather arrows shot straight into Fang Ritu's chest and abdomen. Fang Ritu, who was furious and failed to avoid it, even though he had tried his best to hide his shoulders and dodge his side after reacting, he still failed to avoid it completely. He was stabbed into the shoulder with an arrow, and his entire person was staggered back several steps by the huge kinetic energy carried by the arrow, and then he was bullied by the other five archers who cooperated with tacit understanding.

Two fists are hard to match four hands, not to mention that Fang Ritu not only has a violent mental fluctuation at this time, but also has an arrow on her shoulder. Her left arm is equivalent to being scrapped and it is difficult to exert force.

Facing the five archers who were bullied, he was quickly picked off the Yanling sword stolen from Dong Hu's waist, and was then subdued by the five archers and crushed to the ground.

Fang Ritu, who was pressed to the ground and unable to move, kept struggling, and even roared like a beast.

But his roar was not because of his unwillingness after being subdued and humiliated to the ground, but because of his anger and endless anger.

His eyes were staring at the empty person at this moment, but it was the city wall where Kang Jinlong had just stood. Because he stared too hard, blood was covered in his eyes, and it had turned blood red, as if bleeding would drip from it the next moment.

"There is another enemy who jumped over the wall and fled. You two tied up the thief, and the other three quickly shot and killed the escaped enemy with me!"

The archer who shot Fang Ritu's shoulders with an arrow, which made him eventually captured was obviously the commander of the six archers. His order after Fang Ritu was subdued could undoubtedly prove why Fang Ritu roared extremely angry and almost like a beast after being subdued.

Kang Jinlong escaped.

After seeing that he could not make a breakthrough in a short period of time, he would only be entangled. Until the support of the Five City Military and Six Gates arrived, he either died on the spot in battle or was captured alive, and had the idea of ​​using Fang Ritu to help him temporarily hold the six archers in front of him, abandon everyone, and escape from the city wall alone.

And when he was almost shot into the vital point by the arrow that was attacked and died on the spot, this thought completely occupied his heart, making him finally make this decision that was more decisive and shameless than the Qinglong at the time.

"put!"

Accompanied by the order, four feather arrows shot at the back of Kang Jinlong, who was still trying to escape even though he limped. However, except for the arrow hitting his back, the other three arrows seemed to deviate from the target.

But the purpose of these three arrows was obviously just to seal Kang Jinlong's retreat so that he could not dodge.

It’s a pity that because there were two archers who wanted to take care of Fang Ritu who was subdued, only four archers took action.

Therefore, even if the four feather arrows were killed, they still could not completely block Kang Jinlong's retreat.

I saw Kang Jinlong as if his eyes were on the back of his head. As the arrow was about to reach his body, his whole body instantly shrank into a ball like a touched mimosa.

The three arrows that were originally intended to block his retreat were directly inserted into the soil in front of him. However, even so, he still failed to completely avoid the arrow that shot into his heart.

Fortunately, because he curled up in time, the arrow did not hit his vital point, but was inserted into three inches to the right of his left shoulder, almost hitting the back of his neck, and he was also directly knocked to the ground by the huge force carried by the arrow.
