C405 (1/2)

At this time, the effect of Yun Zihuang ordering his personal guards to retreat fifty steps could be seen. If she hadn't given the order earlier, the personal guards who had already pushed their way to the front of the obstacles would have been met with direct attacks from the people of the northern region. There would have been no buffer. Although the people of the northern region didn't have any good weapons, a few people attacking a personal guard when they were on the defensive would inevitably cause death or injury to them.

In fact, she had secretly made a retreat gesture before giving the order publicly, for the people of the North to hear.

As expected, right after she issued her command, the people from the northern region, who were hiding behind obstacles, couldn't help but charge out.

The northern leader naturally understood that if he were to create more distance between them and his personal guards, it would be very difficult for them to get close to War God's wangfei. The other party clearly had a large number of crossbow bolts. It was very likely that they, thousands of them, would all be killed here.

Feng Ming had brought a few men with him, and they were already rushing out of the encirclement. Reinforcements from the northern border would arrive very soon. If they couldn't capture wargod wangfei alive before the Wind Chasing Army arrived, all of them would die a miserable death.

The personal guards quickly retreated. By the time the people from the northern region rushed out of the obstacles in the flames, they had already distanced themselves from each other. In actuality, there weren't many personal guards that approached the obstacles, and the last one maintained a distance of one arrow from the obstacles. A series of crossbows shot out from the hands of the guards at the back. The guards at the front quickly retreated from the back of the horse while lying down on the ground.

The people of the northern region, who had just broken out of their obstacles, were holding various kinds of shields in their hands. Most of them were door boards and wooden boards.

However, this time, the guards didn't stand on the horses and shot a string of crossbows. Instead, they half-knelt on the ground and shot arrows at the legs and feet of these people from the northern region.

Even if it was a real shield, it wouldn't be able to block their legs and legs. Moreover, these people only had broken wooden boards and doors in their hands. In an instant, many Northern Reaches cultivators fell to the ground while screaming in pain. The door and other items in his hands were also thrown to the side. The personal guards would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity, taking the opportunity to shoot and reap the lives of these people. They were also three rows of archers. The first row was half-kneeling on the ground, the second row was standing on the ground, and the third row was riding on horseback.

Bows and arrows shot out in quick succession. Not a single person from the northern region was able to make it to the personal guards.

”Charge!”

Another order came from the people of the northern region. Suddenly, a few cars filled with miscellaneous items sprinted towards the personal guards. Yun Yin looked coldly at the people in the northern region and said in a low voice, ”Princess, I'll go kill the one in the lead.”

”No need to take the risk.”

Yun Zihuang said and made a gesture. The guards immediately mounted their horses and turned their horses to retreat. At the back was a wide open area with no obstructions. When she had discovered the obstacles earlier, she had already sent out his personal guards to check if there were any problems. She was prepared to retreat to this place. They used the crossbows to form a line of defense. Although there were thousands of enemies, without bows and horses, it would be difficult to get close to them.

Each personal guard was equipped with two hundred crossbows, and five hundred personal guards were equivalent to ten thousand. If it was used in an army battle, the numbers would naturally be lower. To deal with these thousands of Northland slaves who did not have any weapons or bows and arrows was a waste of resources and manpower. Not to mention that it wasn't every time these personal guards shot three crossbows at the same time. Sometimes, they would only shoot one, increasing the accuracy while also reducing the energy consumption of the crossbows.

Just now, when the people of the northern region retreated, the personal guards used their fastest speed to retrieve a portion of the chained crossbows from the corpses of the Northern Reaches cultivators that had been shot to death.

A few cars that were rushing over were stopped by the corpses on the ground. Their speed slowed down immediately.
