Chapter 360 A Barrage of Arrows
The captured civilians of the Wu Dynasty knew they were doomed no matter what, and some of the bolder ones shouted at the top of their lungs, "General, fire the arrows! Don't worry about us!"
In addition, some people, upon hearing this, began to echo the call for the people on the city wall to fire arrows, regardless of their lives or deaths. They argued that the people on the city wall had already been tortured beyond recognition, so what did it matter if they were killed by an arrow?
"General Chu Feng, we are not cowards, fire your arrows and don't let these Bei Rong people succeed!"
"Yes, let's fire the arrows!"
Hearing them shout like that, Bu Lingzi became very annoyed. She drew the curved knife hanging at her waist, and with one slash, flesh and blood flew everywhere. He quickly lost his life.
"Keep shouting! Shout one more time, and I'll kill one more, just like slaughtering cattle and sheep. I won't even blink!"
Standing on the city wall far away, you could see that person slowly falling to the ground. Although you couldn't see the blood and flesh splattering, you could still predict what the outcome would be.
"Don't fire! What exactly is Bei Rong's purpose? What kind of skill is it to use the people of my Wu Dynasty as shields!"
"As long as we can win battles, what do you care about our abilities?"
There was nothing that could be done when faced with such a rogue in battle. Chu Qiu drew his bow and aimed an arrow at Yelü Hanxuan's head. Although he was riding behind on horseback, Chu Feng's intuition over the years told him that he should be their leader.
Yelü Hanxuan seemed to notice that Chu Feng was staring at him, so he looked up at her with a wicked smile and even made a finger-hooking gesture.
Both sides were highly alert. Chu Feng drew his bow and nocked an arrow, sending it hurtling through the air as he headed straight for Yelü Hanxuan's face.
But he had anticipated that the arrow would come at him. He turned the dock around and took two sharp steps to the side. An arrow shot behind him, hitting the soldier's head. The soldier slowly fell to the ground, but Yelü Hanxuan's eyes showed no wavering.
His purpose in coming here today was to provoke Chu Feng, at least to get her to leave the city.
“Bu Lingzi”.
"Yes, General Hanxuan."
She then spurred her horse to the front and said, "Our general said that if your garrison commander is willing to fight our general one-on-one, we can release these prisoners."
Upon hearing this, the deputy general realized it was clearly a trap, especially since the garrison commander was facing off against the enemy general. Just the fact that they were using prisoners as shields showed that they were a very untrustworthy army!
"General Chu Feng, this sounds suspicious. You must not go down."
Chu Feng wasn't stupid; how could she not see that this was a blatant trap? But if she didn't go down, the people below would die right before her eyes.
"General, please, fire your arrows! Don't worry about us anymore! These Beirong people are treacherous and cunning; they will never keep their promises!"
"General!"
"General..."
Bu Lingzi swung her curved knife, and blood gushed from the throats of several people as they slowly fell to the ground, their eyes wide with rage, staring fiercely at the Bei Rong people even in their dying moments!
"The opposing commander, you'd better make a decision quickly, otherwise these people are not enough for me to kill. Sigh, it would be more satisfying to kill sheep."
Some of the captured civilians even ran directly to the halberds the captives were carrying and committed suicide to show their resolve.
Chu Feng couldn't bear to watch such a scene, so he finally donned his armor, grabbed his gun, rode out of the city, and agreed to their request.
As if everything was within Yelü Hanxuan's expectations, he spurred his horse and, not too quickly, arrived in front of Chu Feng.
He looked Chu Feng up and down: "Situ Chu Feng? Hmm, you're pretty much the same as the image in my mind. You are indeed a loyal and righteous person, and you are indeed imposing, but what I really want to tell you is that you shouldn't have come out."
"Are you their leader?" Chu Feng thought to herself. She was right about that arrow she had just shot; her intuition was still very accurate.
“I am Yelü Hanxuan, and I am the general leading the troops of Bei Rong this time. General Chu Feng, I will give you one more chance. Go back to the city now and I will not hurt you.”
"You promised a one-on-one session, are you going to back out?"
"You said it yourself, we are despicable people, how could you believe such nonsense?" Yelü Hanxuan shrugged on horseback, his expression sinister and cunning.
Unfortunately, as he spoke, Yelü Hanxuan's men began to act. One after another, there were sounds of knives being pulled from flesh and blood. The prisoners slowly fell in a row. Sure enough, they were just playing a trick on him. They would never keep their promises and were only trying to lure him out.
"you!"
"General Chu Feng, I gave you a chance just now, but now you can't leave. Why would I fight you? Even if I were lucky enough to win, I might be injured. Why would I do that?"
As she spoke, she rode back to a safe distance. The heavy infantry below, armed with iron chains and lassos, stood around Chu Feng in a six-pointed star formation. With just a few directions pulling the chains simultaneously, they could trip her horse and bring it to the ground.
The deputy general on the city wall was sweating profusely. If they fired arrows now, what would happen to General Chu Feng?
Despite the danger, Chu Feng remained calm on horseback. She pushed off the stirrups and stood on the saddle herself, then began her usual routine: "Shoot arrows, don't worry about us!"
The deputy general on the city wall waved his hand with a hint of disbelief, and a volley of arrows was unleashed. She could no longer keep this beloved horse.
Han Xuan never expected Chu Feng to be so reckless, risking his own life. If he couldn't dodge the barrage of arrows, he would be riddled with holes!
"Retreat! Retreat!" Bu Lingzi waved his hand, and the heavy infantrymen who were not in the six-pointed star formation also began to run backward. They were wearing rattan armor, so as long as the arrows did not hit their vital points, they would not do much damage to them.
Chu Feng grabbed the saddle with one hand and flipped under the horse's belly. Six or seven arrows shot directly into the horse's back. Startled and in pain, the horse reared up, neighed, and ran a few steps forward. Gradually, it ran out of breath and collapsed heavily to the ground.
Chu Feng was also crushed under the horse, but at least the arrow didn't hurt her. It was a pity for the horse that had been with her for so long.
Yelü Hanxuan sighed inwardly, thinking that Chu Feng was a ruthless man who was not afraid of being shot to death. When his horse turned around, he found that the rain of arrows had stopped and Chu Feng stood up from beside the horse's corpse.
Although the outcome was different from what he had expected, he still had a chance to launch a sneak attack. Hu Mucong seemed to see through his thoughts and handed him his great bow. Yelü Hanxuan drew his bow and aimed the arrow at Chu Feng's knee.
Chu Feng hadn't even reacted yet when she heard the sound of something cutting through the air behind her. It was too late to dodge; the arrow had already pierced her knee. In that instant, she didn't even feel any pain before she was already kneeling on the ground.
Everyone witnessed this scene. Bu Lingzi wanted to fire a few more arrows to end her life, but Yelü Hanxuan glared at her fiercely. No one could stop him from playing this game.
