C123 (1/2)
”Don't worry, my lord. I will kill you in one shot.”
The Zhang Banxian behind Yang Lin suddenly had a thought, she might as well kill three at a time, wouldn't that save him more trouble? Originally, they had prepared three godly archer s, and two of them were used as preparations. Who knew that today, all of the xanthopanax s were actually present today?
”Master, do you want to kill three at a time?”
Yang Lin was also considering this question in his heart. Right now, the xanthopanax s were all on the city walls, this was a rare opportunity. But was there a need to kill Zhang Mancheng and two others? Without waiting for Yang Lin to speak, Xin Ping took over the conversation by the side.
”My lord, I do not think it is necessary. Those six General of the Yellow Scarf Army s were also powerful in martial arts and were full of schemes. Master always loved talents, and if they were recruited and brought down, Master would have a few more generals. ”If in a few days they do affect your plans, it won't be too late to kill them again.”
Yang Lin thought about it in this principle, to be able to kill as little as possible, those few generals were indeed rare generals, it was a pity to kill them. Many of them stayed back to fight with their generals, as it would be more intense and help Qin Ming and his team to succeed.
”Let's just kill Zhang Mancheng. Brothers, all of you stand in front and block the godly archer behind you, so that they can have the chance to aim and shoot. ”
Cavalry immediately caused a small commotion, and a few generals immediately surrounded Yang Lin. Their tall bodies were like a wall blocking the way, forming a barrier as the three godly archer s quietly took down the Arm of God strong crossbow s from their saddles.
The disturbance in the Cavalry immediately attracted Zhang Mancheng's attention, and he subconsciously took two steps back. He unconsciously furrowed his brows, and only now, he felt that the cavalry soldiers were strange.
”What do you think these cavalrymen want?”
Seeing Zhang Mancheng taking two steps back, the Generals s also retreated, leaving the side of the city wall. However, they also could not guess what the cavalry was trying to do. They were used to seeing the cavalry everyday, so they all shook their heads in bewilderment.
However, Zhang Mancheng felt that something was not right, but he couldn't explain it either. He felt a kind of unease in his heart. This was just one of his senses, and this feeling was the most deadly. He looked at the generals around him and waved.
”Let's go and take a look elsewhere.”
Once Zhang Mancheng left the city walls, Yang Lin felt that he had missed a chance. Seeing that Zhang Mancheng was about to leave, Yang Lin became even more anxious, he immediately turned to look at the three godly archer s, only to see the three of them shaking their heads at him. At such a long distance, with Zhang Mancheng wearing a helmet and armor, his chances of success were not high.
”Lord, shooting from the side won't succeed.”
The one directing the siege today was Cao Cao, so when he saw Yang Lin bringing a group of cavalrymen to attack from afar, he thought Yang Lin was here to help him. However, when he saw that Yang Lin and the others had stopped eight hundred steps away from him and had no intention of coming over, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel angry in his heart: These guys, have nothing to do after eating their fill.
They were standing more than eight hundred steps away from the city wall, while Yang Lin and a few generals were pointing at the General of the Yellow Scarf Army on the city wall. Behind Yang Lin and a few tall generals, it seemed as if there were three soldiers holding onto something that resembled a bow and crossbow, hiding in the shadows of the Generals, and quietly aiming at the General of the Yellow Scarf Army on the city wall.
”Assassinate enemy generals?”
A question suddenly emerged in Cao Cao's heart, but even he could not believe it. How far was that? It was already good enough for a normal bow and arrow to reach three hundred steps, but this was more than eight hundred steps. Even if the crossbow had been shot from further away, it shouldn't have been so terrifying.
Seeing that Zhang Mancheng was about to leave, Cao Cao was shocked and immediately felt that he could not let him go. Today was a good opportunity, after killing Zhang Mancheng, if he took advantage of the chaos and attacked the city wall, wouldn't he have done a great deed? Regardless of whether or not he could successfully kill Zhang Mancheng, he had to try.
”Beat the drum. Attack the city.”
Cao Cao gave his order without hesitation, but the officers of the Imperial army were still puzzled. Why was the ensign not ready yet? And those drummers who first heard the horn for an attack, then beat the drum for an attack, didn't react for a moment. In a moment of desperation, Cao Cao jumped down from his horse and ran to the side of a battle drum.
”BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!”
The fierce battle drums began to beat, reverberating through the wilderness and shaking even the surrounding air. Those officials of the imperial court were baffled. When they saw that their lieutenant was personally beating the drum, they quickly shouted out and lifted the ladders. They did not care about formation or formation as they charged towards the city wall.
”Kill …”
Zhang Mancheng who was on the city wall had already mounted his horse and was preparing to leave. Suddenly, he heard the sound of war drums ringing outside the city and the sound of killing could be heard. He hesitated as well. If he were to leave now, wouldn't he be running away? Without enough time to think, Zhang Mancheng dismounted and went to the side of the city wall. In order to show his determination to unite with the soldiers, Zhang Mancheng patted the shoulders of Wang Erwa and Liu Shitou who were standing beside him, and could not help but straighten his body.
Puff.
Just as Zhang Mancheng straightened his back, a few of the generals beside him suddenly saw a set of Arrows s flying over, everything happened in a split-second, their speed was unbelievable. When Zhang Mancheng fell to the ground, he did not even have the time to close his eyes. His eyes were filled with fear, helplessness, and nostalgia for the world.
