In that instant, tens of arrows were shot at Yan Liqiang from the big Shatu squad.
When the arrows were about to fly over, Yan Liqiang waved his hand in the air and the long cloak was twirled into his hands. He shook it once and the cloak became like a shield and danced around Yan Liqiang, sweeping away all the arrows. As he moved, Yan Liqiang had dashed out about a hundred meters. He crossed a not yet fallen house and left the archers’ line of sight.
Meanwhile, those Shatu archers couldn’t shoot the second wave of arrows that the Pingxi Prefecture Military Governor ordered to fire. The archers’ arrows landed amongst the Shatu army like locusts.
In that instant, a few hundred Shatu people fell to the ground, howling in pain.
At this moment, the number of Shatu people that filled the street was so dense that even if one shut their eye, they would be able to shoot someone. The Shatu side also had some powerful bows, but compared to this side, the number difference was huge.
The real battle started from there and instantly exploded…
Before they clashed in melee combat, the two sides shot arrows at each other from about 100 meters apart.
When the Shatu arrows flew over, they raised their shields and after a wave of clanks, most of the arrows were blocked by the shields. Even if some arrows pierced the soldiers at the back, those soldiers wore armor and helmets. Those arrows could only do a very limited amount of damage. Some soldiers fell but most soldiers stood firm and quickly advanced towards the Shatu people.
The archers drew their bow the second time. In a wave of excruciating cries, the Shatu charging over fell down like wheat under a harvesting machine. The area from where the Shatu shot their arrows were given special treatment by the archers on this side. By the third volley of arrows, there was less than half the number of arrows…
In the blink of an eye, the two sides clashed together on the streets.
The Shatu charging over had gruesome faces and cried scary war cries with scimitars in their hands…
Meanwhile, the army on this side was uniformly assembled. The shield-holding soldiers planted their metal shields into the ground and knelt down, using their entire bodies to hold the shield in place. The spear soldiers pierced their spears through the crevices and roared, “Kill…”
Looking from afar, it seemed that large patches of thorns grew out from the shields.
Those Shatu people didn’t face a single spear but a volley of spears and couldn’t do anything to block or evade them. Even if they could block one or two spears with their scimitar, what could they do to a cascade of spears? At this moment, even martial warriors or supreme martial warriors wouldn’t be able to do much!
In that instant, flowers of blood blossomed from the iron thorns spraying all over the streets.
Under the protection of the shields, the cascade of spears pierced and retracted, pierced and retracted…
The close combat brawls became a simple and mechanical action in the wake of a real army. Those dark and cold spearheads turned red in the blink of an eye.
The archers behind weren’t doing nothing. Two more waves of arrows flew and more than half of the Shatu people were washed away by the hail of arrows.
The army in front of them wasn’t like the citizens that didn’t dare to speak up. They weren’t like the patrols that didn’t dare to come over when they gathered in large numbers and had to smile carefully. This was the city’s real fighting power.
There were howls of pain mixed with flying of blood and flesh. Watching the people next to them fall down one by one, quite a lot of the Shatu people suddenly felt the terror.
Liu Yucheng dashed over the crossfire like a huge bird and landed behind the Shatu people. He waved his sword and three Shatu people turned into six halves. He waved another time and a few other Shatu people lost their arms and swords.
Liu Yucheng hacked his sword with every step and opened up a bloody path amongst the densely-clustered Shatu people and dashed to the Shatu who spoke to Wang Jianbei then. In the fearful eyes of that old Shatu, he hacked his sword and sliced his head off.
“Pfft, an old dog like you don’t deserve to negotiate with us…” Liu Yucheng kicked the Shatu head away and sneered.
Moments later, the courage and morale of the Shatu melted like snow. The Shatu at the very back started to flee.
The Shatu realized. This time, the Han people were serious. Gathering up, causing a commotion and threatening them were no longer useful. If you dared to charge up with swords, it was suicide…
On the other side of the street, Yan Liqiang locked onto the escaped Shatu. How could Yan Liqiang let him get away in broad daylight?
Yan Liqiang chased that person. In the blink of an eye, they passed many streets. At the start, that person was 200 meters from Yan Liqiang but he was soon only 20 meters away.
“Do you still want to run?” As Yan Liqiang’s voice resounded, Yan Liqiang stopped at a half-fallen house. Yan Liqiang kicked and that broken wall exploded like a dynamite into thousands of pieces. They crossed the air with a piercing howl and loomed over the back of that running figure sealing all the space around him.
That Shatu person suddenly spun in the air. His warbow was fully drawn and then an arrow shot toward Yan Liqiang.
As an expert archer, Yan Liqiang was long ready for that person’s last stand. The moment before the Shatu shot out the arrow, Yan Liqiang’s figure suddenly changed. His figure almost stuck to the ground like a snake as he dashed over.
The black arrows shooting over were soundless, sharp, and powerful and instantly pulverized all the stone pieces
In the combat between experts, one slight difference would create a huge difference in results. That arrow missing meant that it would be the last arrow he ever shot.
The bowstring shook and Yan Liqiang’s figure was already next to that person. He used the extremely domineering Five Mountain Heaven Smashing Pyke of the Eight Extremities Fist technique.
In a violent fit of coughing blood, that person’s body was smashed out like a cannon by Yan Liqiang. It smashed down two walls before falling to the ground like mud…
