Guo Kang's judgment was correct. Among the minions, several people with firearms and crossbows soon appeared, searching for the target everywhere.
"I know that our ban on armor is just a decoration. The law prohibiting military firearms and crossbows is a copy of the Central Plains. It cannot be implemented." Guo Kang took advantage of the time to hide back and complained to Guo Ponu: "But this Isn't it just a gang - oh, part of a small gang. How did they get so much stuff?"
"Who told this to be Dadu?" Guo Ponu disagreed: "Those who can establish influence here have more or less connections with the nobles. Of course, the ban is useless."
"Hey, it's really troublesome." Guo Kang shook his head and looked next to him. Another man with a short-barreled hand cannon ran over and shot him over with an arrow. Others still haven't found the source of the attack and are still running around.
And Guo Ponu's speed was much faster than him. Guo Kang looked at her for a moment and found that every time she showed her head, she would definitely kill two or three people. The only thing that affects her speed of killing enemies is probably to guard against enemy shooters. Otherwise, with this average shooting speed of about one arrow per second, she will quickly clear the area of enemies in front of her.
Guo Kang gradually felt that this noisy environment was no longer so stressful.
He lived here for several years, often attending large ceremonies and banquets. Because the elders generally believe that he is the most eloquent person of this generation, sometimes he has to make some polite remarks as a representative. Therefore, he no longer has much stage fright in crowded and noisy environments.
But this kind of atmosphere where there are so many people on the opposite side and they all want to kill you is really quite oppressive. Even if I know my side won't lose, I can't help but want to distance myself for fear of being surrounded.
He has been able to persist until now mainly because of his sense of responsibility. After all, he proposed and planned the whole thing himself, and his visit to the front line was also to strengthen others' determination and let everyone see that he wanted to seriously promote this matter and put forward the requirements for himself. To be honest, it has nothing to do with courage.
Moreover, although the distance between the two sides is actually not that far, the pressure of shooting to kill the enemy is still much easier than the face-to-face fight just now.
After he was able to control his emotions, he felt that this moderate tension was a good thing, allowing him to exert greater strength. When he first got this bow, he felt it was relatively stiff, but now it doesn't matter. Feel it.
Even if he knew that this was a psychological effect, he was not in the mood to think so much when he actually picked up the bow and aimed at the enemy.
He circled the shacks in this area, constantly changing positions. Although there were many people on the other side, they had no idea where he was. Several people foolishly came to chase him carrying iron forks and axes, but they were all easily shot to death by Guo Ponu from behind. And he searched for key enemies everywhere. If he saw someone who seemed to be commanding others, he would shoot them with an arrow.
The advantage of this bow is that it is relatively strong. The arrows assigned to it are also long and thick. At this distance, they are more than enough to penetrate those tattered armors.
Although most of the gang members are also trying their best to accumulate protective gear, what they wear is nothing more than thickened leather and rusty armor pieces from unknown sources. Some even tie wooden boards to their bodies, which is considered a person. Armored. Facing this obstacle is certainly not a big problem.
Even if the boss is really protected by regular armor, if he shoots at the weak point, he can basically kill him with one hit. Relying on this method, he shot several of the most obvious targets one after another, making the enemy even more confused.
Of course, he was not the only one who was unsure. Most enemies are also afraid of them. When faced with an attack, many people's first reaction is not to fight back, but to find a place to hide.
The enemies Guo Kang encounters at various intersections will not all rush forward immediately - most people will shrink back when they see him, try to confront him, and then call on others to rush first. Once the leader is shot to death by Guo Kang, the remaining few will immediately flee back.
After the enemy was in chaos, the two knights behind the firewood pile on the opposite side jumped out and rushed directly into the enemy team to chop at them. The two of them covered each other, and relying on their heavy armor, they actually prevented a large circle of enemies from getting close.
The enemy also has shooters with crossbows and muskets, but this place is flat land. Those bamboo shacks were of such poor quality that they couldn't stand people, so they couldn't find a position where they could stand down and shoot through the crowd. If you want to attack them, you can only get as close as possible. But as long as he gets close, he will be shot to death by Guo Ponu as soon as he shows his head.
The only thing that can be considered high is probably the garbage mountain. It is true that some people ran over there, wanting to climb up and have a look, but when someone came, they were knocked down by the priest behind the garbage pile. After losing two people, the gang members just used their clay bows and arrows, shooting randomly in this direction, and never came forward again.
Moreover, the enemy's adaptability is also very poor, and a group of people will crowd around. Either everyone squeezes together to move forward, or they scramble to retreat. Not only did they fail to take advantage of their numerical advantage, they also hindered each other and couldn't swing their weapons. Soon, they lost confidence and dispersed.
As the commanders fell to the ground one after another, most of the gang gave up on the siege target and began to flee instinctively. Guo Kang then looked back and forth again, trying to confirm whether they were really going to run away.
However, when he turned around a shack and leaned out to take a look, he suddenly found someone kneeling on the roadside. When he saw Guo Kang, the man immediately raised his hand and slashed at him diagonally.
Fortunately, Guo Kang was prepared in advance and immediately retracted, leaving him empty. The man jumped up and staggered towards him. Only then did Guo Kang realize that this was the leader who had just been shot down by Guo Ponu. He was only hit by an arrow in his leg and was not shot to death. He didn't know when he came here and he happened to be hit by him.
At this distance, Guo Kang didn't have time to draw the bow and charge it up. He took a few steps back again, threw the bow and arrow aside, and taking advantage of the other person's limp to be slower than him, he reached out and took out his gun, pointed it at the person's chest, and pulled the trigger directly. trigger.
After a moment, nothing happened.
Not to mention Guo Kang, even the leader was stunned. However, both of them reacted quickly, and Guo Kang threw the pistol and hit him directly in the face. Apart from anything else, the handle was really heavy and hard, and it hit the leader with a scream.
Taking this opportunity, Guo Kang drew his sword and rushed forward to stab him. The opponent also showed extremely high resilience at the critical moment of life and death. He endured the pain and swung the knife again, hoping to fight Guo Kang and die together.
Guo Kang quickly turned sideways and let his knife strike the thick chest and abdomen armor. The man didn't know if he was stimulated, but the force was very strong. Although there was no harm, it still forced him to take a step back. Guo Kang's sword was also stuck on the iron armor on his chest. He pushed hard, but still couldn't get in, so he had to take advantage of the situation and withdraw it.
However, the opponent was even more ferocious than him, and regardless of the injured leg, he rushed over again, leaning down and slashing at the unarmored calf. When Guo Kang retreated again, he swung his sword up again. It seemed like he was being hit on the head, and his movements were getting faster and faster, leaving no chance to react.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed from the side and pushed Guo Kang aside. He quickly looked over and saw Guo Ponu stretching out his arm and using his arm armor to deflect the blow. The leader turned his wrist and wanted to continue slashing, but Guo Ponu rushed forward and inserted a sword into his throat from above. The tip of the sword broke the entire neck, revealing a long section behind his back.
The leader's knife fell to the ground with a bang, his body twitched, and he knelt on the ground. Guo Ponu kicked him in the chest, drew out his sword, and swung his backhand at his neck, causing his head to fly out.
At the end of the street, a group of gangsters were trying to rush this way. When they saw this, they immediately dispersed and ran away to no one knows where.
"You have been practicing with dad for so many years. What have you practiced?" Guo Ponu pulled Guo Kang over and scolded: "How come you can be pressed down and beaten by a lame gangster?"
"I, I don't know either?" Guo Kang was still in a daze. After hearing what she said, he quickly went to pick up his gun.
The thing flew not far. Guo Kang picked it up, wiped the ashes on it, skillfully opened the lid of the gunpowder pool, took a closer look, and immediately shouted: "Oh, why did the match go out!"
"I asked you what you practiced with dad, and you told me that the match rope went out." Guo Ponu said speechlessly: "You have been practicing rubbing match ropes for so many years, right? You haven't mastered it yet?"
"This, this, this is an accident." Guo Kang was really embarrassed this time, so he had to explain: "I don't know why I slipped up at the critical moment..."
"Hey -" Guo Ponu scratched his head and sighed again.
She looked back towards the other side of the garbage mountain and saw that the gang had lost the will to persevere and began to run away separately. Everyone followed the plan and did not pursue him.
They carefully searched the surrounding area, cleared up a few gangsters who tried to hide here, and then returned to the warehouse to prepare their next plan.
In our world without magic or internal power, the fastest archery records are 10 arrows in 4.9 seconds and three arrows in 0.67 seconds.
(It is said that holding three arrows in your hand is the fastest way to shoot. This is the experience of both ancient and modern people. The more arrows you have, the slower it will be.)
