Chapter 42 Chapter Ten Two Arrows

The next morning, when I left the room, the three girls were still asleep. It's no wonder they didn't sleep the night before, and the dance banquet last night didn't come back until midnight. They didn't sleep until the sun passed the middle of the sky. It's strange to wake up. Dahei, who was no less tired than them, was contrary to his normal laziness, chasing after Feixue energetically, not at all depressed, but when I rode Feixue to the big slope at the exit of Tiancheng, I realized Here's why. This guy disappeared in a flash. Needless to say, he slipped away to reconnect with that shepherd bitch. I wish him success in advance.

The streets are quiet, the people here also had a carnival last night, who can get out of bed. It would be great if there were no wars, and life would pass by like yesterday. When the guard saw me coming, he hurriedly opened the city gate and let me fly out unimpeded. The vast Tianyuan is in front of you, and the Milky Way flows horizontally. There are many camps near the South Road, which are the southern troops who started arriving one after another at dusk yesterday. With a long roar, I rode the snow, ran across the stone bridge of Tianhe, and ran towards the camp. Before arriving at the camp, I saw Dumpty waving excitedly at me in the northwest corner of the camp, so I ran towards him.

Dumpty shouted, "I'm still worried that you won't be able to get up!" I jumped off the horse and said with a smile: This is also my worry about you. He stared at his red eyes and said: Don't worry.I didn't sleep at all, people come, get ready. His dozen or so subordinates standing around got busy. About 500 paces away on the other side of the open space, a temporary wall was built with stones. It was about ten feet high and looked quite solid. Dumpty was very proud, pointing to the wall and said: This is the city wall. Then he pointed to a strange wooden thing like a large spray gun and said, this is the Dragon Cannon!

There were more than a dozen people standing beside the dragon artillery, all of them paying attention to the movement of Xiaopang. I looked at another thing that looked like a catapult machine used by the Extreme Empire to attack the city next to the dragon artillery, and said: "What is that thing?" Dumpty said proudly: That is the greatest invention in the history of the Pure Land War, Dragon Roar. I have thought about this name for a long time, so that the old guy Lingzhi can write it into the annals of history.Then he said in a low voice: My short and chubby name will last forever because of it.

I didn't know what mystery he was stirring up, so I said, "Come and see." Little Dumpty became nervous, mumbled words, and shouted: "Dragon cannon fire!" Click! I don't know those people pulled the mechanism, and a black blood arrow was shot out from the nozzle of the dragon cannon, and sprayed directly towards the wall, dyeing the stone wall into a big black. The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of black blood. But that's it, nothing else happens. I looked at Dumpty in astonishment. Dumpty smiled mysteriously at me, and called out in a calm manner: "Light it up!"A row of ten archers walked a hundred steps forward, igniting the arrows wrapped in black blood cloth, and the bowstrings were tightened.

put! Ten arrows fired together. Except for three shots that were not strong enough, and two shots that were shot crookedly, all the shots hit the place where the stone wall was stained with black blood. Canopy! The fire burned like a whole wall on fire. Little Dumpty shouted again: "The dragon roars!" That catapult-like thing popped out a giant black strange ball, raised from low to low, and then fell from high to draw a beautiful arc. With a bang, it stuck to the burning wall and did not fall down. . The fire continued to burn. The black ball seemed to be extremely resistant to burning, not only remained in the same shape, but seemed to become stronger as it burned.

Dumpty stomped his feet and said: There is no reason, the black clay is full of black blood, how could it not explode? I shook my head and said: Have you tried it before? Dumpty said: This is the first experiment, unexpectedly it failed, why did the black blood you sealed in the barrel explode, this time it should be sealed in the hardened clay, it should be even more powerful. I took one more look at the black ball that was motionless in the flames, and felt sorry for Dumpty, and for the shattering of his eternal dream. I put my arms around his shoulders and walked towards the camp, comforting me: Come on!Let's go have breakfast.

If you can't take two steps, you can't stop talking. boom! An earth-shattering explosion came from behind, and the earth shook. Under the agitation of an invisible force, Little Dumpty threw himself forward first, causing me to lose my balance. After he fell down, I turned around when I touched the ground, and when I saw the wall earlier, I became a Some of the gravel patterns on the ground flew more than ten steps away, which shows how amazing the force of the explosion just now was, far surpassing the explosion in the wooden castle. Dumpty wiped his red eyes, got up ecstatically, took a few steps forward, stumbled and fell again, and shouted wildly: "I succeeded!"i did it!

I sat up and heard screams and running around in the camp, and said with a wry smile: Before your name goes down through the ages, please deal with all the people on Tianyuan who came to settle accounts with you due to lack of sleep. At noon the next day, accompanied by Dukes Longteng, Yanse, and Hongshi, we arrived at Qintian Castle managed by Yanse. On both sides of the mountain road, there are outstanding famous generals like Yan Se and Long Teng guarding the gate, even the fierce Heicha ghost can't attack them. However, the Heicha people also occupied the two fortresses of the closed pass and Duanlu just below the North Road, and cut off the way for the Pure Land Army to go north. The dragon spitting water at the eastern end of the sky is currently beyond the reach of the pure land's military power.

We can only attack one city at a time, so that reinforcements can be responded to from the front lines. Therefore, whether we can capture and recover these two lost cities is the key event. Hongshi and Niya's southern army followed us, slowly pouring into the back hill of Qintian and Hushi, waiting for orders. When we entered Qintian Castle, the soldiers crowded on the street and on the city wall, shouting and cheering to me, their morale was extremely high. The voice of the Holy Sword Knight is endless. Qintian is divided into two forts, inner and outer. After passing through the walls of the inner fort, we came to Yanse's Grand Duke's Mansion.

The furnishings in the magnificent lobby are simple, and all kinds of weapons are hung on the walls, most of which are not weapons from the Pure Land, but trophies captured by the black fork ghosts. What particularly attracted my attention was a large, shining yellow bow, which hung on the wall opposite the main entrance, and the absence of other weapons on this wall made the huge bow all the more remarkable. What impressed me most was that the bowstring of the giant bow was shiny black, and it was the same color as Longge's shattered Zhenwu knife. There was a beautiful quiver hanging beside the bow, and there were seven thick and long arrows in the barrel. The arrows, the whole arrows are also shining with black light, giving people a feeling of extreme sharpness. Yan Se came to my side and said: Great swordsman really has vision, this is the most famous divine bow in our pure land to shoot the sun, the bow string and arrows are made by Lasa's grandfather Yi Zhenwu.Then he smiled wryly: "It's a pity that since Lian Shanzong, the first bow maker in the Pure Land, made it three hundred years ago, no one has been able to draw it completely by himself. Many people who claim to be brave have even strained their arms, but still There is no way to take it. I nodded, thinking that if I shoot Zhenwu arrows with this bow, will it be possible to pierce through the armor of the Great Head of State that only the Witch Blade can pierce? Hongyue said behind me: Great Sword Master, do you want to give it a try? Hongshi reprimanded: Hongyue!Don't talk nonsense. I smiled slightly and said: I will definitely, but not now. Long Teng said worriedly: Great swordsman, be careful, Zhen Wuxian's counterattack power is very terrifying, even his arms can be destroyed. Yan Se agreed: "I also think that my arm is strong, but I only pulled it a little, and I dare not hold it any longer. I often think, if I can shoot Zhenwu arrows with a full bow, I am afraid that even the sun can be shot down." In the distance outside the fort, there was a sudden rumble of drums. Grand Duke Xie Wen said angrily: "The black-chased ghost has been quiet for two days, and then came to challenge again. Didn't the witch tell them that Xiang Qinsheng and others abandoned their troops and dragged their armor and returned to the north?"Didn't you tell them how powerful the Great Sword Master is? Ning Su smiled and said: People only believe in their own eyes and their own strength, not to mention the black bully Hengsheng is always arrogant and has no eyes, how can he take a woman's words to heart, and think that the temptress is deliberately exaggerating. I nodded approvingly to Ning Su. Women's insights are often subtler than men's, which is also Ning Su's advantage. I said: Let's go to the city wall to have a look! Yan Se said: "For their clamor and challenge, a small attack every two days and a big attack every four days, we have long been accustomed to it, the great swordsman might as well rest for a while, tomorrow morning we will take you to Hushi to see the situation." Long Teng heard that I wanted to go to his Hushi Fort, and said happily: That's great, Long Yi asked me all day long when the great sword master would come to our place. Everyone smiled knowingly. I complained in my heart, how can I see that one loves the other, after all, I came to the Pure Land to chase and kill the great leader! Zhuo Lian smiled and said: Great Sword Master, there is a kind of fresh fruit that can only be found there in the back mountain of Qintian Castle. It is very delicious, you must try it. Cairou who was beside Niya said happily: That's great! Everyone laughed. Yonov and Hongqing were delighted to hear Cairou's words, and quickly volunteered: "Let's pick them right away, only freshly picked ones are the best!" I said lightly: We must eat the beautiful fruit, but after recovering the two forts of the closed pass and the broken road, please wait patiently for two more days! Everyone was stunned, and they all showed expressions of disbelief. I said: Now go to the outer wall first! Looking out from the top of Qintian's broad and thick city wall, on the left is Hushi Fort with a similar scale and format.Between the two forts is the mountain road leading to Tianyuan. At this time, there are piles of rocks as obstacles to prevent the enemy from going up the mountain. Looking down to the north, under the sloping mountain road is a valley that is much smaller than Tianyuan, with high peaks on all sides. At this time, there are more than a thousand black fork fighters lined up on the far side of the valley.In the back, you can see the high rear wall of the lost Fengai Fortress, blocking the way out of the valley. A majestic black fork ghost like a giant, with a big shield on the left and a huge ax on the right, galloped out of the crowd on his horse, screaming nonstop, full of disdain and contempt. The Pure Land Army on Tiger's Watch Fort is also on standby to prevent the Heicha ghost's surprise attack. The slope is full of arrows and broken knives, and the bones of men and horses are too horrible to look at. How many people have lost their children, lovers and parents here? A dozen or so hungry vultures circled the sky, waiting for their next meal. The strong man with the black fork rushed forward again, shouting and cursing. My sharp eyes saw several large siege logs, several spring-launched catapults, and rows of long ladders next to the thousands of black fork warriors, and I knew they were organizing another storm.It is conceivable that when the gate of the closed fortress is opened, tens of thousands of black fork ghosts will charge in. I feel that the history outside the fire-catching city is repeating itself, the only difference is that even if I kill the black fork ghost who is fighting, I have to capture two more castles before I can gain control of the North Road. I said to Hongshi: "Dumpty is here?" Hongshi looked at Hongqing. Hongqing hurriedly said: "Just arrived!" I said: Tell him to prepare a good treasure that will make his name last forever. Everyone stayed together. Hongqing had more confidence in me than his father had in me, so she hurried away.At this moment, the giant black fork came running over again. He stopped his horse when he went straight down the slope, looked at me from a distance, and shouted in an impure Pure Land dialect: If you are here, Rand, please come and meet me if you have the guts Fight to the death. Yan Se and others shouted and cursed one after another. Ning Su was afraid that I would not be able to stand the provocation, so he came to my side and said: Great Sword Master, this giant is the number one warrior under Hei Ba Ke Hengsheng, his name is Xiong Ju, none of our warriors can come back alive. Long Teng said: If I hadn't strictly prohibited anyone from participating in the battle, more than sixteen people would have died. Of course, Yonov, Hongshi, Niya, etc. will not believe that I can't defeat the black-fork giant, but they don't advocate that I fight because it's not worth it. I also don't think it's worth it. Zhuo Lian pointed to Fengai Fort and said: Look!The guest is here. I saw that on the top of the wall of Fengai Fort where the flags were already flying, there were two extra tall Marshal flags flying majesticly in the mountain wind. I smiled and said: Don't worry, I have no plans to fight. Niya and Cairou knew my character well and looked at each other strangely. I said lightly: "Bring the bow!"And call all fighters to prepare. Yan Se was stunned and said: Xiong Ju is at least three arrows away, why not!Are you going to shoot the sun? I shouted: "Quick!"Tonight I will hold the grandest victory party in Fengai Yan Se was stunned for a long time, then shouted to the servant: "Go get the bow and arrow." I looked up at the sky, there was still a long time before the sun would set, there should be enough time, although everyone was a little tired, but the victory was due to their high fighting spirit, let alone me here. At this moment, Hongqing came up to the city wall and reported: Little Dumpty said that everything is ready, as long as he gives an order, he can go out, but he wants me to remind the great swordsman that the longest range is only 500 paces.Five hundred steps is the middle of Guyuan. After the giant bear laughed wildly a few times, he ran back again. I stood still and looked at the enemy coldly. Everyone was a little uneasy and nervous, even Hongshi and others were no exception, because attacking the city was never easy, otherwise Long Teng and Yan Se would not be able to stop the powerful black fork army here. Although we have the roar of the dragon, how can the enemy allow us to advance to the best position where we can launch? With the sound of footsteps, two warriors held the big sun-shooting bow, and the other one held the canister of Zhenwu arrows, came up panting, and stood beside me. I shouted: Drumming! The drums sounded. The Xiong Ju was refreshed, and rode his horse to charge from the other side of the valley. When he passed the middle of the valley, I took the big bow from the shoulders of the two soldiers with one hand, and it was extremely heavy. The warrior with the quiver tactfully handed over a Zhenwu arrow. I tilted the big bow that was taller than me slightly upwards, and positioned the Zhenwu arrow tail on the Zhenwu string. When everyone saw that I was carrying such a heavy bow, my hands did not tremble, and they were amazed. The sound of hooves became more and more urgent, and Xiong Ju was about to run to the beginning of the slope, which was three times the distance of an ordinary arrow. I looked at him coldly, with peace in my heart, silently calculating the distance and the speed of the enemy cavalry. Just at this time, the battle drums at Fengai Fort also rang loudly to help Xiong Ju's prestige. Xiong Ju became even more excited, and galloped like an arrow. I exhaled wildly, pulled with all my strength, bowed from the arched sun that no one had stretched to the full, and the Zhenwu string rose back to its full extent. Let go of your hand. Teng sound. Zhenwu's arrow pierced through the air like lightning. The sun-shooting bow returned to its original shape with a clang, and the bow trembled. Zhen Wuxian was even more shocked. No one can describe the speed of the Zhenwu arrows shot by the sun-shooting bow. Generally, the arrows move forward in an arc, but the Zhenwu arrows are absolutely straight. Almost like the sound of strings, Zhenwu's arrow had already reached Xiong Ju's eyes, and shot straight at his chest. Xiong Ju was also amazing, instinctively shielding his chest with the huge shield. Everyone exclaimed and sighed, thinking that such a good arrow would be blocked by him. Clang! . Zhenwu's arrow pierced through the shield, passed through the armor, and passed through Xiong Ju's huge body, bringing up a rain of blood, shooting out from the vest, and stabbing the ground behind the horse. The cries and drums of the enemy and us all stopped. Xiong Ju's giant ax and shield fell first, and then the giant body fell from the horse's back and fell to the ground with a bang. The two forts of Qintian and Hushi erupted with roars of joy. I shouted: Siege! When we passed the place where Xiong Ju's corpse was buried, the enemy had all retreated into the pass, and it seemed that they were going to be unable to defend. The Grand Dukes and I took the lead to the middle of the valley, stopped, and shouted: "Little Dumpty!" Little Dumpty rushed out excitedly, panting: "No way!"I must have a good sleep in the Fortress tonight. Everyone laughed. The short and fat men pushed the dragon cannon and dragon roar to the front of the formation. A shower of arrows shot out from the wall of the closed pass, but they were exhausted after more than a hundred steps and fell one after another. Yan Se laughed dumbly and said: Hei Chagui never thought that there would be a day for us to attack the city, and he didn't even prepare a stone bomb machine on the wall that can shoot far. I looked at Cai Judao who was holding Dahei in his arms: You watch Dahei closely, don't let him follow me. Cairou looked ashamed, lowered her head and said: Got it! I gestured to Humpty Humpty. Dumpty shouted in a hoarse voice, "Fire the cannon!" Peng! A stream of black blood sprayed straight away, spilling on the foot of the wall and the ground, and the city gate was on the left. Let the arrows go! Those ten archers rushed forward under the cover of special large shields. Immediately arrows rained down on the enemy wall. Yan Se shouted: Return the arrow! Two rows of soldiers, one holding shields and the other holding bows, rushed forward. Arrows come and go. The killing sound shook the sky. The rocket was fired, and eight out of ten arrows hit the blood-stained city wall. The result was much better than last time. The fire blazed up. The most critical moment has come. Dumpty was panting. I said to Dumpty: Don't be nervous, if you miss the shot, you can do it a second time. Dumpty said with cold sweat on his brow: Time is too tight, I only made two and used one, now I only have one chance.I shook my heart and shouted: Let the dragon roar! boom! The giant black ball popped out. Our hearts were raised in the air, and we stared at the huge black ball thrown high and then fell again. Little Chubby's face suddenly turned ashen, his feet went limp, and he sat down on the ground. The landing point of the black ball was much closer than last time, and it landed only a hundred paces away from the city wall. Everyone was disappointed to stay on the spot. The fire was still burning, but this time it was completely meaningless. The weeds near the foot of the wall also burned. With an idea, I jumped off the horse, snatched the big sun-shooting bows carried by the two soldiers on their shoulders, set up the Zhenwu arrows, rushed forward, passed the archers and shields at the front, and lay on my side on the ground. Draw the bow and draw the arrow, and the arrow shoots out. blow! . Zhenwu's arrows shot out, across the valley, sticking to the ground, passing through several small protruding mounds, although the castration was slightly reduced, it still hit the giant black ball, and the arrow cluster brought the giant black ball straight forward, piercing into it. In the corner where the fire is burning. A round of arrows came, and I quickly rolled back, kneeling behind the shield, praying and looking at the giant black ball. Will a pierced black blood cell still explode? The world seemed to be completely silent. No one is interested in looking at anything else, just staring at the huge black ball that woke them up from their sleep yesterday morning, burning with fire. boom! No one could believe their eyes. First, flames shot out and stones flew horizontally, and then several sections of the city walls, which were as solid as rocks, slowly fell down. Dust, dust and fire debris flew into the air, and at least a dozen black fork men were screaming. The neutral and city walls fell together. The screams came from the enemy wall. The enemy's originally dense arrow rain fell down. A large gap more than ten feet wide was exposed in the enemy wall. I shouted: Kill! Feixue came to me, I got on my horse, pulled out the Witch Blade, raised my head high, and rushed forward. When the people behind saw my holy sword, their morale rose to the highest point, they shouted in unison, and chased after me like a tide. In an instant, I rode my horse and flew through the snow, and I was the first to jump over the pile of rubble in the gap and enter the city. There was chaos in the city, and the Heicha man who rushed up was splashed with blood and fell under the witch's blade. The army poured in one after another. They were naturally familiar with the fortress that once belonged to them, and they occupied the most strategic stronghold in a short while. The humiliation and blood debt they had suffered for many years were all recovered at this moment. The black fork ghosts resisted desperately, but their persistence was disintegrated after a while, and they fled from the fort one after another. We fought until we could see Fort Breaker before retreating. At least half of the Black Cross people stayed here. The Witchblade drank the blood of its enemies.
