Because a thought jumped out - the soldier upstairs said he recognized me and even went into the mountains with me.
Strictly speaking, the government army is different from the "township army" stationed in the country and the "border army" guarding the border. They are not considered regular troops, but the "private soldiers" of the chief officials at all levels. When the chief official arrived, he used his personal money to recruit soldiers to take charge of the local security and prison affairs.
Among the soldiers of Zhangcheng Mansion, there are those who look after the house and the courtyard - for example, the ten sword and shield soldiers he brought up the mountain before, there are those who are responsible for patrolling the streets, and there are also the jailers here. For them, serving as a soldier is indeed a profession, no different from that of hunters, craftsmen, and butchers.
Therefore, the "professionalism" of these people is very strong. Those who look after homes and nursing homes do not know how to patrol the palace and prisons, and those who patrol the public security do not know how to enter and exit the house in a disciplined manner.
But why did the sword and shield soldier come to the prison? I didn't look carefully when I tied up the other two people just now, but I remember that when his Yin spirit came out of his body and inspected the armor warehouse on the second floor, he didn't see any crossbows - not even in the room where people lived. Could it be that the crossbowmen on the second floor were not originally stationed in the prison, but were transferred from elsewhere?
What about those original crossbowmen?
Just because of this thought, his feet stopped for a moment. But the next moment, I suddenly saw a string of sparks lighting up in the darkness at the end of the tunnel, and then heard a loud "bang".
Because of this sound, Li Bochen was stunned for a moment. But it's not because I don't know what it is, but because it's too familiar - it's the sound of the bed crossbow used to deal with monsters in Beiyuan when it is fired!
Even though his reaction during the battle was far from ordinary, it was completely unavoidable at this time. The moment the words "Bed Crossbow" flashed in my mind, I suddenly felt a huge force coming from my chest, and my body flew backwards.
Strangely enough, at this moment, he could still tell that there was another "thud" sound coming from behind him, as if a stone door had fallen.
Then he felt a shock on his back and stopped suddenly. Only then did he realize that he had raised his hand at some point and held the iron arrow that had been shot - it was as thick as a forearm and as long as a big gun.
Then he felt that his whole head was buzzing, and the joints of his body seemed to be rusted to death. They were almost completely inoperable, and his arms were tightly locked on the iron arrow. He didn't know when he sat on the ground leaning against the stone door behind him. After waiting for a while, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, a heat in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Another thought flashed through my mind—did I die like this?
But the next moment, I realized that my body was slowly starting to feel something - the sharp pain in my chest was not a point or a lump, but a whole piece. In fact, the more painful ones are the ones below the collarbone and above the hip bone. He lowered his head to look at his chest, and found that the iron arrow had not penetrated his breastplate, and even only made a shallow dent in the armor.
It turns out that these iron arrows are not equipped with arrowheads - there are several types of crossbow arrowheads, some are specialized in breaking armor, some are long and wide, and can sweep across a large area when shot. These arrowheads are only used on the battlefield when going into battle. The situation is put on.
This crossbow may have been obtained from the art school, but specially tempered arrowheads are rare, and they didn't get them either!
He felt happy and heavy at the same time, knowing that he had been ambushed. The guards outside were so lax, and the crossbowmen were nowhere to be found—in fact, they were just lying in wait in the dungeon, waiting for them.
But it’s not a big deal. He thought to himself, isn't this kind of prison robbery meant to be done with one's head in mind?
Then he slowly lowered his head, still holding the iron arrow in both hands, and pressed the end of it against the ground, motionless.
Then a burst of machine noise was heard. The wind was very strong tonight, and his bun was blown away and hung in front of his face. The light in the tunnel was dim, so he squinted slightly to see.
I saw a dozen crossbowmen holding machine-operated repeating crossbows, slowly walking out of the cells with open doors on both sides. He thought to himself that he was lucky - if he hadn't just remembered something was wrong and slowed down his steps instead of walking in again, at such a close distance, his head might have been filled with crossbow arrows by now.
Then I heard someone at the end of the tunnel say, "Are you dead? That's not true, right? Didn't you say that the monster beast was still alive and kicking after being hit by several arrows?"
Is it Sui Ziang's voice? !
Li Bochen almost couldn't help but look up. It was definitely his...and he sounded energetic and seemed to be in excellent physical condition. what happened?
Then another older person said: "That is a monster after all..."
Sui Ziang snorted coldly: "What is the difference between this man and an animal?"
Then there were footsteps. He seemed to be saying bitterly as he walked: "What if I call you thick-skinned and thick-skinned? The most important thing is your brain!"
After walking about five or six steps, he suddenly stopped. Then there was a "pop" sound: "Who told you to shoot him to death!? Are you so willing to take advantage of him!?"
Another person whispered: "Yes, yes, villain..."
The voice sounded like the crossbowman who fired the iron arrow just now. But he only said these few words, and suddenly he made a short "ah" sound, and then there was a "thud" sound of something falling to the ground.
Li Bochen was stunned - Sui Ziang killed that man?
Although Sui Ziang is not a good person, he is still a relatively normal bad person. It was normal for him to beat and scold the crossbowman because he couldn't vent his anger, but to actually kill someone was something Li Boxen didn't expect. He suddenly realized that Sui Ziang's voice sounded a little strange.
A bit crazy. The tone of his voice also sounded very chaotic and evil... Could it be that someone had used some evil method to save him?
With this thought in his mind, he looked at the crossbowmen who surrounded him five or six steps in front of him. They held the rifled repeating crossbows and did not step forward to check whether they were really dead. Li Bochen guessed that it was probably because he had done so cleanly and quickly when he was up there, and even though he was hit by an iron arrow when he came down, he had to spit out another mouthful of blood before he "died". This made the crossbowmen fearful and worried that he would once It's not dead. They came up to check, and they may take their lives as well.
But at this time, these crossbowmen heard Sui Ziang's footsteps getting closer and closer, and they became even more nervous. Some people even had cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads, and their eyes squinted back, as if they wanted to look back but didn't dare.
Has Sui Ziang ever been so scary before?
After a while, Sui Zi shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"
The crossbowman in front of him immediately moved out of the way, and Li Bochen saw Sui Ziang's feet - the uppers were covered with iron plates, and they seemed to be covered with armor. He rolled his eyes upward again, and finally saw what he looked like, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Although the previous Sui Ziang was tall, he was considered to have a slender figure. But the one in front of him, even though he was wearing heavy armor, could still be seen as having a strong back and strong waist, and his arms were as thick as the thighs of those crossbowmen!
And he had one of his hands cut off by himself before...and now that hand has actually grown back!
