Perhaps because of the impending battle, Zhang Qi's holding action was a little too big. The crossbow arrow flew straight out, but did not hit any of the robbers. Instead, it just passed between the two robbers.
To be fair, given the distance between the two robbers, it would be more difficult to pass the crossbow bolt through than to shoot them directly in the head.
Zhang Qi missed, but the imperial archer beside him hit two arrows in a row.
An arrow, an arrow to the shoulder, and the robber who was shot immediately fell to the ground without moving at all.
Zhang Qi was a little annoyed by the imperial shooter's calm and silent output. He quickly adjusted his mentality, took a long breath, and loaded a crossbow bolt again.
With the first experience, the opening action this time was much gentler.
Boom——
The crossbow arrow flew out again and hit a robber straight in the chest.
The distance between the two sides was still twenty meters, and the number of robbers became clear.
Nine people, one of whom had just been killed by an imperial shooter, now there are eight more.
Winding up the string and buckling the crossbow arrow, Zhang Qi calmly took aim again with bated breath.
Wangshan and the iron ring at the front of the light crossbow formed a line, and the end point of the line pointed directly at the robber who had been hit before.
Twelve meters.
Boom——
The light crossbow made a crisp sound, the crossbow bolts flew out, and the arrows also flew out as the imperial archer let go.
Two down.
There are six robbers left!
Eight meters.
Zhang Qi successfully wound the string again.
The crossbow arrow flew out and hit one of the robbers on the neck. Zhang Qimiao's hit was actually on the chest, but unexpectedly it hit the neck, which was smaller than his head.
Although a creature in the world of riding and slashing will not die until its health is exhausted, it still has weaknesses and damage.
Three meters away, the string could not be wound. Zhang Qi threw away the light crossbow, drew out the long knife from his waist, and pressed it against Suo Jiaer's back in front of him.
The imperial archer was still pulling the string repeatedly. In a short period of time, there were only three arrows left in the imperial archer's quiver.
NPC soldiers are no better than normal people. They have no hesitation. As long as they start fighting, they will fight to the death!
The last arrow was exhausted, and there were four robbers left. The remaining ones also had scars on their bodies. They were all caused by the imperial archer. Regardless of his low level, he was only a soldier above the recruits, but in the face of unarmored soldiers, When it comes to robbers, it is also natural to restrain their shooters.
Zhang Qi patted Suo Jiaer on the shoulder.
The strong blacksmith stepped forward and rushed forward, followed closely by Zhang Qi, hiding his entire body behind Suo Jiaer.
Behind Zhang Qi, the imperial archer who had finished shooting his arrows also picked up the spiked hammer on his waist and ran over.
"Collide!"
The system soldiers are dull and only know how to attack in the slashing style, but Zhang Qi is not, he is flexible.
As Zhang Qi shouted, Suo Jiaer put a big shield on his shoulders and slammed into a robber.
There was no damage, but it created a gap for Zhang Qi to output.
After bending down and squatting down, Zhang Qi sprang out from behind Suojial's waist, and slid the long knife in his hand along the robber's crotch to his chest.
Blood spurted out, and the intestines and internal organs flowed out.
Two left.
After hitting the robber, Sogyal slashed with one hand and started fighting with another robber. The imperial shooter arrived shortly after and knocked out the robber who was fighting Sogyal with a hammer.
The remaining two probably triggered the escape mechanism and ran back without looking back.
Two whooshing sounds came in succession, and two arrows that were thicker and longer than those used by the imperial archers flew and nailed the two fleeing robbers to the ground.
Kill with one shot.
In Karadog's military formation, a Fianna champion archer quietly retracted his longbow and continued to follow the troops with dull eyes.
Karadog and Zhang Qi on horseback passed each other.
The sound of the horse's hoofs colliding with the ground was like a thunderous sound that shook Zhang Qi's heart.
The wind from the march of the troops blew Zhang Qi's messy hair. Looking at this group of system soldiers with neat military appearances and Karadog who was half a height taller than him, Zhang Qi clenched his fists and then loosened them, with a rope. Jial and the imperial shooter took off the equipment from the robbers and turned around to leave.
This battle inspired Zhang Qi a lot. When three people faced nine people, they almost managed to kill the enemy without any injuries.
Pack up the equipment on the robbers and put them on the horses. The robbers are the lowest level wild monsters in the world of riding and slashing. The equipment on them is not valuable, but this is Zhang Qi's first real battle in this world. , the value of experience is much higher than the value of money.
At the very least, Zhang Qi now understood that the gangsters he had avoided before were actually not that difficult to deal with. He could defeat these robbers who even had few clothes by keeping a distance, shooting from a distance, and getting up close and decisively.
Karadog's troops had already gone far. Looking in the direction of those flags, Zhang Qi knew that the war between Battania and Sturgia had started again. This had nothing to do with him, but he had to pay attention to avoid it. The next time, just like this time, they were swept into the battlefield by the army of these lords.
The imperial shooter killed several robbers in this battle, and the system's mechanism allowed this low-level soldier to level up again.
As expected, only fighting is the fastest way to grow. Zhang Qi shook his head and completed the upgrade for the imperial shooter.
Imperial skilled marksman.
The equipment has been upgraded, the armor has been upgraded from cloth armor to cotton armor, and the hunting bow has also been upgraded to a mountain hunting bow with higher lethality.
Regarding the future of the imperial archer, Zhang Qi thought about it and decided to upgrade him to an imperial crossbowman. Regarding the bow and arrow sequence, the imperial armies did not have an advantage. In terms of bow shooting, they could not compare with Battania. In terms of equipment power, They still can't compare to Batania, and they still can't compare to Batania in terms of accuracy.
In short, in Zhang Qi's mind, if he really wants to use archers, he will still choose Batania's troops for training.
As for the empire....
Let's go the route of crossbowmen. The long-range lethality is sufficient. After getting up close, the chainmail and one-handed swords equipped by these crossbowmen will make them as good as infantry.
It took some time to upgrade the imperial shooter. After a while, Zhang Qi and the others set off again.
The mountain road is starting to get steeper, and the ground is getting too high.
Fortunately, the horses in the system are extremely powerful. They don't seem to be tired and they still keep moving forward at a constant speed.
Batania is comparable to a jungle. Except for the fact that there are no trees growing on both sides of the road, the rest of the place looks like a primitive forest.
I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.
The reflection on the water surface attracted Zhang Qi's eyes.
There was joy on his face, and he understood that Xiao Nong was coming soon.
Such a large area of water light in the distance should be emanating from the Lake of Life in Battania. One-third of the country's land area is occupied by the large lake in the distance.
Its scale is so huge that it can be called the largest lake in the world of riding and cutting.
On the Battanian Plateau, the Lake of Life in Battania reflects the entire sky like a mirror, and the residents of Batania built towns around the lake.
Chaunon on the east side, Marunas on the south side, and Dunglanis on the west side are all the most prosperous towns on the Battanian Plateau.
After pinching the horse's belly, Zhang Qi began to move faster. The two-handed sword had been forged, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't sell it out earlier.
"drive!"
