As soon as Luo Shangwen finished speaking, there were countless sounds of bowstrings ringing, and countless arrows, with the soldiers' fury of revenge, rushed directly towards the swordsmen of the Tianshi Dao General Altar on the opposite side. During the conversation just now, these Jingchu archers had already locked the target of the attack. They only waited for Luo Shangwen's order before they nocked their arrows and attacked as quickly as possible.
It's just that these general swordsmen of Tianshi Dao are also experienced in hundreds of battles. When Zhang Zhuer and Luo Shangwen were arguing just now, they were all closely observing every move of the other side. Almost all the swordsmen knew very well that the other side was fighting. These enemy troops will never surrender, let alone collapse. Instead, they will put life and death at risk just like themselves and fight to the last drop of blood. They will either kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy, because everyone is Real warriors, in the fight just now, had their relatives, friends and comrades die at the hands of the opponent. This hatred has long been irresolvable. Even if these Jin archers really dropped their weapons and wanted to evacuate the battlefield, Tianshi said The disciples of the main altar will definitely catch up and kill these people first to sacrifice their companions' spirits in heaven.
But this time, both sides no longer needed to pretend. The archers of the Jin army distanced themselves, and the swordsmen of Tianshi Dao's general altar also kept the kerosene jars and bought time. With this time, More than twenty Kongming lanterns have already passed over the heads of these Jin army archers. Even because the swordsmen of the general altar in front attracted their attention, these Jin army archers did not turn around to take care of these flying people. What about the Kongming Lantern behind me?
Hundreds of feather arrows quickly shot at the swordsmen of the general altar fifty steps away. However, the moment the bowstring sounded, they had already jumped backwards quickly, or took out small muffs one by one. , threw it on the ground, and a puff of black smoke or white mist suddenly appeared, and their traces disappeared immediately. There were only four or five guys who were slightly slower, and they were guys who had been injured before. He was so fast that he had no time to dodge and was directly hit by the arrow. He groaned a few times and fell to the ground dead.
Beside Zhang Zhuer, several of his men threw out chimneys, hiding his figure in them. The moment before his figure disappeared, he was still pointing at Luo Shangwen and scolded sternly: "Luo Shangwen, I I remember your face, next time, I will take your life!"
Luo Shangwen sneered: "Then you have to live until then." He quickly picked up the big bow and shot an arrow. Just like several companions around him, five or six sharp arrows roared through the fog. , and when the smoke dissipated, they found that the place where Zhang Zhuer was standing just now was empty. Those swordsmen who looked like death gods had disappeared. Even the entire front line could no longer be seen. There is less than one general swordsman left.
Luo Shangwen put down the big bow in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief: "These terrible killers finally retreated. Thanks to Brother Shen Chong, we people can survive."
His sad eyes turned to the place where Shen Chong died in the battle just now. Together with the corpse of the swordsman of the Tianshi Dao General Altar, a pile of charred corpses were mixed together, no longer distinguishable from each other, and the flames had long been extinguished, and the entire battlefield Everything on the battlefield is filled with the smell of rotting corpses, and this is the smell of the most real battlefield, enough to make all young people who have beautiful fantasies or even expectations about war retribution never dare to fight again.
Next to Luo Shangwen, a young officer named Li Yichen said: "Captain Luo, what should we do now? Do we want to pursue these demon thieves? The Dongman brothers in front are still trapped inside. Do you want us to rescue them?" "
Luo Shangwen frowned. He turned his head and glanced behind him. He saw that the sky lanterns were still floating in the air, gradually heading towards the formation three hundred steps away, but the height was getting lower and lower. There seemed to be some noises on both sides between our own formation and his own front line. His heart moved and he said in a deep voice: "We are archers, and our first goal is to protect our formation. There are still a lot of fire in the sky." Only our arrows can shoot down the sky lanterns with evil thieves. If we let them fly above the formation and attack with kerosene jars, the consequences will be disastrous. Everyone, come with me and help me shoot down these sky lanterns."
As he spoke, he picked up his big bow and ran back. Li Yichen behind him shouted anxiously: "Captain Luo, what should we do with these demon swordsmen in front of us? If they also take the opportunity to kill us, we can... …”
Luo Shangwen didn't look back, he said loudly: "You lead two hundred brothers to guard here. If the demon thieves and swordsmen come, shoot arrows from a distance, keep a distance, guard our backs, and finish destroying the demons on these Kongming Lanterns." Thief, I will lead the soldiers and horses in the formation back to you, and I will also kill the brothers in the front army."
His words went against the wind. Li Yichen also heard a general idea. He gritted his teeth and turned around to greet the sergeants around him. They began to form a defense line and monitor the front. Luo Shangwen led more than 400 archers along the way. He ran straight towards the Kongming Lantern in the sky in front of him.
"Whoosh" and "whoosh", dozens of feather arrows rose up in response to the strings, heading straight for these Kongming lanterns. Taking advantage of the wind, they went straight into the air. Although the distance was more than fifty steps, and they were six or seven feet high in the air. , these feather arrows failed to hit the target, they were all ten or eight steps away before falling out of exhaustion, but it seems that the next wave of attacks can reach those targets, as long as they work harder , if you get closer, you can definitely shoot down this damn Kongming Lantern.
"Hoo", "hoo", something dark fell from the top of the Kongming Lantern, with fire on it, and it fell quickly. Luo Shangwen, who was running at the front, saw it clearly and shouted: "Be careful. , it’s the kerosene jar again!”
All the archers dispersed quickly, stopped their pursuit, and spread out in all directions. After the dozens of kerosene jars landed, they exploded violently, and then ignited patches of grass, just like Just like the wall of fire on the previous battlefield, in just half a moment, a wall of fire isolation zone more than a hundred paces wide was formed in front of the pursuing archers, and the thick black smoke covered the front. His line of sight was completely blocked. He couldn't see his fingers ten steps away, let alone the battle situation!
A guard next to him asked Luo Shangwen: "Captain, what should we do now? I can't see anything in front of me. This wall of fire is too fierce. Should we take a detour or go back?"
Luo Shangwen gritted his teeth and said sternly: "No, we have to seize the time. Come with me, everyone, get water to wet yourself first, rush through the fire, and kill the demon thief!"
