C210 Very bad luck (in)

And at this moment, in the entire Fengyang County, the ones who were the most confused belonged to the Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance. They had just arrived at the city gates and were about to call for the city, but since the situation was too urgent, they were prepared to force their way in. Who would have thought that an attack on a city would happen so suddenly, and the guards at the city gates hadn't even figured out the situation before ringing the alarm bell. In that case, if they tried to force their way in, there was only one outcome, and that was getting shot to death by random arrows.

At this moment, he was still burning with anxiety to return to the city, but at this moment, they were right under the city. If another rain of arrows were to shoot from that dark place, he was afraid that they would be the ones to suffer!

However, the next step in the development of this matter was much worse than the worst thing that Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance could think of.

It was unknown whether it was because someone was shaking the flagpole, or because the flag was slowly being blown by the night breeze. In short, no matter how the soldiers on the city walls tried to detect it, in such a dark environment, not to mention seeing what was written on the flags, even the number of flags could not be counted.

At the same time, there was a faint sound of shouting coming from the wind. Along with the waving of the flag, it could be considered a 'waving the flag and shouting'. Although he couldn't hear the words clearly, the guard on the top of the city gate and the soldiers could hear the word 'siege' clearly. Immediately, the soldiers on the city gate couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

They were just the city guards, and in the Empire's heart, they were in the prefectures as well. Normally, they relied on their numbers to bully the commoners, but never had they seen such a big battle before. Some soldiers even started trembling in their legs, and if not for the general's courage, they might have even been able to kill a soldier who turned around and ran away. However, as long as there was a soldier who successfully escaped, a large group of them would have followed them and they would not be able to stop at that time.

Just as everyone above the city was at a loss as to what to do, the second round of rain of arrows arrived. This time, it was not shot from a huge angle like the first time, but was aimed at the people behind Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance.

The rain of arrows sped past in a dense black mass, which was impossible to tell by numbers with the naked eye. All they felt was a strong wind howling, a chill that pierced the bones, scaring all the people of Sword League into moving closer to the city gates.

The purpose of the Sword League was just to avoid the rain of arrows, but when they saw the city guards, their eyes changed. He felt that the martial skills of these people were not bad, and probably the vanguard of the enemy, had come to attack the city, and that action just now was more like the vanguard of an attack, how could he figure out who the enemy was? At this critical juncture, as long as he guarded the city wall well, he could kill anyone who was suspicious.

Thus, the city guard officer did not hold back and immediately gave the order to attack. Immediately, countless arrows rained down on Sword League's group. Although these city guards rarely trained, it was not a problem for them to shoot arrows. Moreover, they were not long-range targets, so there was no need to pay attention to the accuracy under such dim light, as long as they were in the right direction.

Seeing how recklessly the arrows were being fired, the Great Clan Elder of Sword League was so angry that her beard was standing on end. However, she had no other choice.

Although the people of the Sword League were also proclaiming that they were from the Sword League, to the city guards, even if 'Heavenly Emperor Lao' came, it would not be of any use. These people would either stay or retreat, it was impossible for them to enter the city.

Facing the rain of arrows flying towards them, the group of Sword League people were completely dumbfounded. Normally, they would run around and fight in the martial arts world and fight in battles, but if they really did fight in battles, they would not even be able to react as fast as the ordinary soldiers. None of them knew what to do. They didn't know whether to dodge or raise their weapons to block.

"Ah... Dodge ? Ah... My thighs. "Ah ?" A series of screams followed, making the originally chaotic scene even more chaotic. In order to let him live, some of the people in the Sword League even used the bodies of their senior and junior brothers to help him block the rain of arrows. It was because even the elders had started to grab hold of the disciples on the side to help them block the arrows.

Just as everyone in Sword League was struggling to defend against the rain and the casualties, a third round had already started in the darkness behind them. And the attack range of the third round was supposed to cover the entire area of effect, it was actually Sword League's group.

"Aiya, this is bad..." In the dark night, someone shouted out, and with the gentle caress of the night wind, the arrows rained down, heading straight at the backs of the Sword League's people.

This was what it meant to be enemies on one's back. The arrows of the two groups of people outside the city fell towards the Sword League. Even if they had godly martial skills, they could only pray.

"Puff, puff ?"

"Ah... "Ah ?"

The constant 'puu' sounds of arrows hitting the human body, as well as the miserable screams of the crowd, were mixed together, forming a unique symphony in the silent night.

At this time, Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance was full of regret. He was extremely furious, if not for him accidentally wanting to kill everyone in Blood Illusion Valley, why would he and his people be killed by arrows?

"Quick, put the dead bodies in front of us and stand back to back. Right, form a circle!" The Head Elder no longer cared about the encampment in the city. He just wanted to live, and for this reason, he did not care if there would be gossip about him. Keeping his life was more important. Thus, he decisively gave the order.

The people of Sword League were also not polite, and did not treat the dead as their brothers at all, as if they were just tools, especially in the black area of the northern part of the city, where two corpses were superimposed to stop the arrow's attack. This was because they realized, the arrow that was shot from the top of the city wall, was not even a little bit inferior to the arrow that was shot from the darkness.

When the people of Sword League saw the rain of arrows shooting from the darkness, they would rather let their backs face the wall. Not to mention whether they could hit him, even if their wounds were deep, it wouldn't be fatal.

The general on top of the city wall was completely dumbfounded. He could not understand what was going on below the city walls. Wasn't he here to attack the city? From the looks of it, it seemed like the group of people being shot down did not come to attack the city. Could it be that they were really the people from the Sword League, and that they only wanted to enter the city? Thinking about it, the guard was once again drenched in cold sweat. If his mistake caused such serious consequences, then the Lord Commander would probably chop off his head to pacify Sword League.

"Stop it, stop it, don't you hear me? All of you stop firing, the people below the city are not rebel soldiers, they are the senior experts of Sword League, don't attack! The Guardian decisively gave the order to 'stop' the attack.

The group of soldiers were stupefied as well. They couldn't help but mutter in their hearts, "You're the one that made us attack, and you're the one that's not allowed to attack right now. Can the military order be changed at will?"

When the Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance below saw that the arrow rain attack had stopped, he became spirited and vaguely guessed that the city guard knew that he had attacked the wrong target. He shouted towards the darkness, "Who are the thieves?

One had to say, people were slippery when they were old. It had nothing to do with character, only experience. The moment these words left his mouth, the general on the city walls put aside all his hesitation and concern, and a huge stone in his heart fell to the ground.

At this time, the captain of the city guards had already led a group of high-ranking officers to the top of the city walls. Each one of them had a gloomy expression on their faces, as if they could squeeze out several kilograms of water from their bodies.

"What's going on? Why did you ring the alarm? Do you know the consequences of ringing the alarm without permission?" Before the lord commander could even stand properly, he yelled at the guard in a loud voice.

"Reporting to Lord Commander, the north side of the city has suddenly been attacked by unknown forces. This matter happened too suddenly, and your subordinate was afraid that the situation might turn serious, so ?"

"So you dare to ring the alarm? Then tell me, where did the other party come from? Where? How many? Do you have any siege equipment? "

"This subordinate does not know!"

"If you don't know, then just ring the alarm for me. Do you believe that I won't f * cking kill you right now?!"

"Please do not be angry, Commander. Under the night sky, it is easy to be caught in the enemy's trap if you rashly leave the city, but if you do not go out now, it is the right choice, this general should be able to handle the situation, but after the incident you should send someone to inform the Lord Commander first, and if you do not know anything then you will set off the alarm." The deputy general at the side hurriedly stepped forward and said to the commander.

"Hmph, I'll spare your dog life first. Tell me about the current situation!" Commander wasn't just a rice bucket. He was familiar with the basic military tactics. Although he wasn't a general, he was definitely not an idiot leading soldiers. After hearing what the Vice General said, this Commander suppressed the rage in his heart.

Although the alarm was ringing in the middle of the night, causing the entire city to be in a state of disarray, his response was still considered well-behaved. In general, he had not suffered any losses, and was not particularly incompetent, but tomorrow morning, he would probably have to go door to door and explain everything to the people from the large families.

"Thank you for not killing us. We are still in a stalemate, and the enemy has yet to make any moves to attack the city!"

"Un, explain in detail what happened!"

Yes, Lord Commander. Tonight, your subordinate is on duty, and he suddenly discovered that there was a group of people coming down from the city. All of them were armed with weapons, and they were rushing towards the city gate with killing intent and killing intent, and just as they were about to reach the city gates, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from out of nowhere and attacked the guards on the city walls.

"And then?"

"Then ?"

At the same time, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as they looked at the sharp arrows that had been shot deep into the bricks on the city wall. It was obvious that the troops that had come to attack the city were the elites of the elites; otherwise, even the crossbow would not have been able to cause such a fatal injury.

This could only mean one thing. The other party possessed an extremely high-end crossbow weapon. Its attack and lethality were at least ten times stronger than the Empire's top-notch crossbow weapon. Who were these weapons allocated to? Which unit could possess such a weapon?

Not only that, seeing the densely packed arrows on the walls and below, he was sure that there were at least a thousand of them. This force was neither big nor small. However, if there were more than a thousand men, in addition to their horses, then the destructive power of this force would be quite astonishing. Even if they wanted to encircle and annihilate these people, as long as they hid in the mountains, they could find them, let alone encircle and annihilate them, then the rich and fertile territory of the Empire would be the hunting ground for them. At that time, the enemy would be free to come and go as they pleased.

The more the Lord Commander thought about it, the more terrified he became. He couldn't help but exclaim that he was' unlucky '.
