Chapter 514: Again and again, death warriors!
Chapter 514: Again and again, the assassins!
Wang Chen looked at the tragic scene in front of him and trembled uncontrollably.
The strong smell of blood that hit him in the face made him hold his breath, and his heart beat wildly as if it was about to burst through his chest.
How come it has become so bloody in just less than a quarter of an hour?
Lu Yunyi turned around, the remaining ferocity in his eyes had not yet completely faded away.
Wang Chen was so frightened that he trembled all over and stood still, not daring to take another step forward.
Seeing his reaction, Lu Yunyi realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly put away the fierceness in his eyes and smiled softly.
"Lord Wang, don't be afraid. They are just some traitors."
"Rebellious ministers and traitors?"
Wang Chen looked at the bodies scattered on the ground in disbelief.
The flesh and blood were exposed without any cover.
There are also some yellow, greasy things that I don't know what they are.
Just looking at it made his stomach churn and he almost felt like vomiting.
He suppressed his nausea, swallowed hard, and stammered:
"My Lord, this is the Emperor's territory, how could there be traitors here?"
Obviously, he had never seen such a scene before, and this simple and crude means of causing chaos was completely beyond his imagination.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yunyi smiled slightly.
Wang Chen is in charge of the Dushui Division. Although he has considerable power,
But it is still a long way from a real fierce battle, so it is understandable that we don’t understand the ins and outs of it.
After all, physical annihilation has always been the simplest and most direct way in a fight.
Now that the two sides have almost reached the point of tearing each other apart, what does killing someone matter?
However, Lu Yunyi ignored Wang Chen and turned his gaze to the many corpses lying on the ground, with vigilance flashing in his eyes.
Not only were the people coming too few in number, but they were also not elite enough. It looked more like a move to lure the enemy in.
Lu Yunyi had sufficient reasons to suspect that an even greater crisis was waiting for them.
"Lord Wang, you should go back to the workshop first. I will handle the matters here."
"No no no."
Wang Chen shook his head desperately:
"Sir, you are an official of the Ministry of Works, and I am a doctor of the Ministry of Water Resources. How can I leave you here and hide away?
If anything happens to you here, I will have a hard time explaining it, so it is better for me to stay with you."
Wang Chen's mind was a little confused at this time, and he said whatever was on his mind directly. By the time he realized it, it was too late.
However, seeing so many corpses around him, he simply gave up trying to remedy the situation.
After hearing this, Lu Yunyi nodded slightly:
“Since Lord Wang is determined to follow, then follow him.
But you must follow at the end of the team and never stand out.
If a war breaks out, remember to leave the official road and stay far away."
Wang Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"Sir, do you have any accomplices?"
Lu Yunyi sneered and looked towards the north, which was the direction of Yingtian City.
His eye sockets became deeper and deeper, and he said with a vigilant look:
"Who knows? But they won't give up easily."
Lu Yunyi looked at the many guards present and ordered:
"Everyone, be alert. These people may be playing hard to get. Everyone must be careful."
Feng Yunfang came forward with a little worry on his face:
"Sir, how about we go around the city from the east, go back to Puzikou City, and then enter the city from the port."
"That's one way, but the journey is too long and it could easily lead to trouble. It's better to respond directly to Tianlai.
This place is only five miles away from Yingtian. If everything goes well, a fast horse can arrive there within a quarter of an hour, which is actually safer."
Feng Yunfang looked solemn and nodded heavily:
"Sir, I understand!"
Feng Yunfang ran away quickly and the military order was quickly conveyed to all parties.
All the guards' expressions instantly became alert and murderous.
After the fierce battle just now,
They turned back into soldiers familiar with the battlefield, and their previous vigilance and bravery quietly returned.
The group waited there until the guards had searched all the bodies carefully.
After confirming that there was no danger, Lu Yunyi nodded and waved towards the north:
"Let's go. Stay alert at all times. Don't keep your telescope and panorama idle."
"Yes!"
The group slowly left the scene and headed towards Yingtian City.
As they gradually moved away from the smell of blood, their speed became faster and faster. The war horses also felt the long-lost excitement and neighed happily.
The guards leaned down slightly, feeling the breeze whistling past them, with comfortable expressions on their faces.
Some people can't help but sigh that marching and fighting are more fun.
Although Yingtian City is prosperous, it has too many restrictions, making people feel uncomfortable.
The sound of horse hooves echoed on the official road.
The closer you get to Yingtian City, the more people there are on the official road.
The caravans gradually became continuous, converging onto the official road from various small paths.
The tall and majestic city wall of Yingtian City was visible at the end of their sight, but the group's progress was hindered and gradually slowed down.
Lu Yunyi sat high on his warhorse, looking around with a serious expression.
Common people and merchants mixed together, and the wide official road was bustling with people, and the noise was endless.
"Stop!"
"Uu——"
The neighing of war horses suddenly sounded, and the group slowly stopped and looked at the intersection directly in front of them.
There, the crowd was surging, almost blocking the way forward.
Lu Yunyi looked back at Wang Chen, who was at the end of the team. With a gleam in his eyes, he picked up the brass trumpet on his warhorse and shouted in an unprecedentedly loud voice:
"Master Wang, has this place always been this crowded in the past?"
The sudden sound made everyone's body stiffen suddenly, and many people turned around to look.
Feng Yunfang, who was beside Lu Yunyi, did not turn around to look at Wang Chen, but stared straight ahead, trying to detect anything unusual.
Gradually, his face became extremely ugly and his heart began to beat wildly.
He lowered his voice and said quickly:
"Sir, retreat first, there are hundreds of enemies mixed in with the caravan!"
"Is there really an ambush?"
Lu Yunyi was slightly stunned, and his eyes suddenly revealed an aggressive and dangerous aura.
Before Wang Chen could answer, he saw Lu Yunyi turned around, which made him confused, so he could only respond loudly:
"My Lord, there aren't usually so many people here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many people in front who had not turned back turned their heads.
A series of dull, featureless faces came into view.
But these faces are very different from the faces of ordinary people and merchants.
There was no numbness or dullness in their eyes, but rather a hint of ferocity.
Lu Yunyi took in all the strangeness of these people, and suddenly a wave of evil interest surged in his heart. He picked up the loudspeaker and shouted:
"Hey, come out, I've seen you all."
For a moment, the originally hot air seemed to become unbearable, and the noisy official road suddenly became quiet. Countless people stopped at this moment and looked back in unison.
"Wow, there are quite a lot of people."
Seeing this, Lu Yunyi's expression changed slightly and he clenched his fists.
He put away the trumpet and took out the longbow and feathered arrows from beside his warhorse.
He drew his bow and drew his arrow. In an instant, the huge ox-horn bow was pulled into a smooth arc.
The sharp arrow flashed a cold light in the sunlight, which was frightening.
Seeing this situation, the people hiding in front finally stopped hiding.
"Kill the thief!"
A dark-skinned man roared, pulled out a long sword from under the carriage, and slashed at Lu Yunyi with all his might.
whoosh-
Before anyone could do anything else, the sharp feather arrows pierced through the crowd like lightning.
Under everyone's unpredictable gaze, bang! The feather arrow fiercely pierced into his forehead.
The arrow was almost halfway in, and the tail was still trembling.
The big man showed astonishment and disbelief in his eyes.
The two sides were still a hundred steps apart.
The big man, with a feather arrow stuck in his forehead, fell straight back, and his heavy body hit the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The sudden scene instantly plunged the entire scene into chaos.
The enemies could no longer hold back and drew their weapons, rushing towards Lu Yunyi and his group like a tide.
The people around didn't understand what was going on, but when they saw the cold flashing weapons, they immediately understood the danger and were terrified. Screams and cries came one after another, and they ran around in panic, making the already crowded official road even more chaotic.
Lu Yunyi's expression was stern, his eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he quickly pulled the ox horn bow in his hand to its full length again.
He loosened his fingers slightly, and another feather arrow flew out of the wind and accurately hit the throat of an enemy who was rushing towards him waving a sword.
The man made a "gurgling" sound in his throat.
He subconsciously covered his neck with his hands, and blood gushed out from between his fingers.
He staggered back a few steps and finally fell to the ground with a bang.
"Protect the Lord!" "Kill the traitor!"
Feng Yunfang roared, and took the lead to lead his guards to meet them.
The two sides soon came into close combat, with swords flashing and shouts of killing being deafening.
The guards soon discovered that although they were only wearing soft armor,
But these rebels didn't even have a piece of armor on them, and it only took one sword to kill them.
This discovery made their eyes more excited.
In the past, it took a lot of effort to kill someone on the battlefield.
Today, all it takes is a gentle swing of the knife.
“Don’t go any deeper!!”
Feng Yunfang let out a loud shout, and the guards who had originally wanted to rush to the end of the enemy suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly pulled their horses back.
Behind him, Lu Yunyi was like a towering mountain, calm and composed.
The ox horn bow in his hand was like an incredibly precise killing machine, continuously shooting out feather arrows.
Every time an arrow flies out, an enemy will fall to the ground!
There was no fluctuation in his eyes from beginning to end, only concentration.
Not only the guards were amazed, but even Wang Chen, who had never experienced war,
They all felt that the scene before them did not look like a fight.
It's more like a performance, everything flows smoothly and naturally.
As time passed, half a quarter of an hour passed in a flash.
In the chaotic battlefield, the enemies are numerous.
Moreover, they were well prepared and worked in perfect harmony, which put considerable pressure on the guards.
Some of the guards were injured, but they still gritted their teeth.
There was finally a fluctuation in Lu Yunyi's eyes, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across them. He increased the speed of his archery.
Feather arrows streaked across the battlefield like meteors, in order to increase the deterrent effect.
Lu Yunyi has already fixed the crosshairs firmly on the enemy's brows.
The rebels fell one after another, and the arrows stuck in their heads made the enemy's fear even stronger.
They began to be afraid and no longer dared to charge forward as frantically as before.
However, several leading leaders were shouting loudly, urging their men to continue the attack.
"Kill him! There will be a huge reward!"
One of the leaders shouted hysterically with red eyes.
Encouraged by the leader, the enemy mustered up their courage again and rushed towards Lu Yunyi.
Lu Yunyi sneered, his eyes quickly swept among the enemies and accurately locked onto the leader.
He took a deep breath, pulled the ox horn bow, and concentrated all his strength on this arrow.
"Whoosh!"
The feather arrow was like a flash of lightning, cutting through the air and flying towards the leader.
The leader sensed the danger and wanted to dodge, but it was too late!
The feather arrow hit his eye socket accurately, and with a "puff" sound, blood splattered everywhere.
An expression of disbelief appeared in his only remaining eye, and he slowly fell down.
Seeing that the bullet didn't hit the center of his forehead, a trace of regret flashed in Lu Yunyi's eyes:
"I'm so slow to react, and I overestimated you."
The leader's miserable condition instantly lowered the enemy's morale, and the pace of attack also slowed down.
The guards took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Their attack became more fierce, forcing the enemy back step by step.
Bows and crossbows kept shooting sharp arrows, and people kept falling to the ground.
However, the enemy was numerous after all, and although their morale was crushed, they still fought stubbornly.
The battle entered a stalemate, with both sides suffering casualties.
At this time, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from the north.
I saw a group of armored soldiers galloping towards me, with more than a hundred of them.
"withdraw!!"
When the only remaining leader saw the person coming behind him, his face suddenly turned extremely ugly and he let out a loud roar.
"Retreat, where to?"
Lu Yunyi sneered, drew his bow and arrow, wanting to shoot him to death.
But the next moment, the scene before his eyes made Lu Yunyi's pupils shrink instantly.
When Lu Yunyi drew his bow and arrow, ready to shoot the leader to death,
Those enemies who were still resisting stubbornly,
As if they had suddenly received some mysterious instructions, their movements were uniform.
They all stopped their attacks and without any hesitation, turned their weapons around and stabbed directly at their necks, chests and other vital parts.
For a moment, blood splattered everywhere and the dull sounds of weapons entering flesh intertwined together, making the scene even bloodier and more tragic.
Some of the enemies still had a lingering fear on their faces, while others had a look of determination.
Their bodies fell to the ground like fallen leaves, and after twitching a few times, they became motionless.
The feather arrow in Lu Yunyi's hand has not yet been shot.
The whole person seemed to be frozen, and his eyes were full of solemnity.
The guards also stopped what they were doing.
The weapons in their hands were still dripping with blood, and they looked at this sudden scene with disbelief on their faces.
The fierce battle on the battlefield became quiet in this short moment.
There was only a breeze blowing by, carrying a strong smell of blood.
"What, what's going on?"
Feng Yunfang looked at everything in front of him with astonishment.
Lu Yunyi slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand, his brows furrowed, his face terribly gloomy.
"Death warrior?"
"Sir, what happened to him?"
Wang Chen approached cautiously from the back of the team, his voice filled with fear and his legs still trembling slightly.
Lu Yunyi did not answer. His eyes swept across the corpse on the ground, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
At this time, the armored soldiers galloping from the north had arrived at the battlefield.
Leading the group was a general in black armor.
He pulled the reins and looked at the bloody scene in front of him with a look of shock on his face.
"Who are you!" the general asked loudly.
Lu Yunyi looked at the general with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He did not answer immediately, but asked back:
"Who are you?"
The general frowned slightly, took out the token from his arms, held it high, and said:
"We are the captain of the Xuanwu Guard of the city defense army. Who are you?!"
"How dare you! This is the Ministry of Industry and Land! There are rebels here! Rebels!!"
Wang Chen looked at the people in front of him, especially after seeing the long swords in their hands.
He was furious and started swearing.
"I will file a petition to impeach you, you rebels, gather a crowd and ambush and kill us!
You guys, how can you be so bad at your job!!!"
Lu Yunyi stared at the people in front of him, frowning slightly.
He stopped Wang Chen who was about to rush forward and shouted:
"alert!"
