C199 (1/2)
The Iron Guard frowned and whispered, ”I don't know this person, but he is undoubtedly a barbarian of the northern region. I just don't know why he would appear here.”
Yun Zihuang smiled faintly, took out a few arrows and gave them to Tie Wei who was by her side explaining. This person was silent and did not make any difference until he came out from the northern city, where he met with a sneak attack. He must be Feng Qingxiao's trusted aide.
”Send men to shoot these arrows to different positions in the ambush. Every now and then, there will be an arrow.”
”Understood.”
The Iron Guard didn't ask why, instead, he took the arrow and called two people over. Carrying the flying horse, he galloped towards where Yun Yin and the others were. The two of them approached Cloud Concealing, but were not affected by the other party's arrows. They nocked their arrows onto the bowstrings, pulled the bowstrings full of arrows, and shot these strange arrows in the direction of the ambushing soldiers. The two of them were both Iron Guards who specialized in using hard bows and arrows. They were able to shoot arrows far away and were much stronger than the others.
In their eyes, these arrows were really strange. Not only did they not have sharp arrows, but they were also wrapped in something that could not hurt people at all.
The arrows were evenly distributed amongst the ambushing soldiers. Not to mention that it was difficult to injure the ambushing soldiers from this distance, even if they did hit the ambushing soldiers, arrows without arrows wouldn't be able to harm them.
”Bang bang bang …”
Sonic booms accompanied by sparks and smoke filled the air. Every time a strange arrow landed, this would happen. The Iron Guards were not as surprised as the ambushing soldiers were, as they were far away after all, and although they found it strange, they were not as surprised as they were at the sight of the arrows.
Yun Zihuang said to Yun Zhao in a low voice: ”Let Yun Yin and the rest wet the cloth with water, cover their mouths and noses, or hold their breath and pass it over again. Do not inhale that poisonous smoke.”
Yun Zhao's eyes brightened as he hastily responded and sent a sound transmission to Yun Yin and the others hiding behind the dead horses.
Yun Yin and the rest hurriedly took the water bags from the dead horses. After tearing off some of their clothes and wetting them with water, they covered their mouths and noses and rushed towards the ambushers. At this time, the arrows shot by the ambushers were much sparser. Yun Yin and the others soon arrived at the place where the ambushing soldiers were. They saw a lot of ambushing soldiers who were still holding bows and arrows lying where the poisonous smoke was drifting in the air. They immediately charged towards the area where the poisonous smoke was sparse, intent on killing the archers who were still alive.
Everyone on this side also received the order to douse their mouths and noses with water before galloping their horses forward.
Yun Zihuang gave the order not to stay and passed through as quickly as possible. After she had Yun Yin lead the group back, she would lead the rest of the people to the front to scout the road. With this delay, she could clearly hear the hooves of the horses behind him. She could already see the pursuers behind him.
Seeing that there were so many enemies, they didn't dare to stay. After all, the princess's safety was the most important. The guards at Yun Zi Huang's side were rushing towards War God City.
The poisonous smoke was still drifting about, and most of the soldiers were lying prone on the ground, bows in hand, no one knew if they were alive or dead.
The bearded man rushed here with his men and similarly covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel. He ordered people to use the soil to cover up the poisonous arrows that were still smoking. He did not stop, leaving behind a few people to deal with the situation. He led his men and continued his pursuit, ”Princess Taiping is indeed capable, to think that she actually had such a move up her sleeve. It's just that I've set up such a huge trap for you, so how could you have the chance to escape?”
Murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He had actually suffered such a huge loss in the hands of a little girl, yet he was still unable to catch her.
”Da Da Da …”
Another burst of rapid and heavy hoof sounds broke the tranquility of the evening and the sky had already darkened. It was unknown who these cavalrymen were and what kind of people they were.
Yun Zhe sent people to report that there were soldiers of War God City in front of them to welcome the princess.
Yun Zi Huang raised her delicate eyebrows: ”Who are you?”
”The person who came said that he was under the lord's command and that he was stationed in Martial Immortal City. Because the princess left the city and did not return, she came specially to greet them.”
