Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1542: Two-sided attack
A ballista is actually an oversized hand crossbow, which is usually fixed on the city wall or equipped with wheels and pushed.

This thing is actually a kind of siege weapon. It has a clay base and a blue brick wall. Any arrow from a crossbow can penetrate it. It is far more powerful than a powerful crossbow in your hand.

The arrows it fired were like large javelins. Thanks to Li Chengxi's reminder, Yang Yiyi dodged, but the people behind her couldn't dodge.

One of the guards in the formation was unlucky enough to be hit by a crossbow. The huge kinetic energy caused him and the arrow to fly backwards, and with a thud, he hit the princess's carriage squarely.

The speed of the crossbow bullet was so fast that the palace guards surrounding the carriage couldn't see it clearly. Then they heard a loud bang, and the carriage was half collapsed by the crossbow arrow and the person hanging on it.

The palace guards were so scared that their souls almost flew out of their bodies!

The horse pulling the carriage was frightened and neighed, trying to escape. The palace guard acted decisively and cut off the horse's harness with a knife, otherwise the frightened horse would have pulled the carriage and no one knew where it would have run away.

The other palace guards quickly jumped onto the carriage and frantically tried to pry open the deformed carriage.

Fortunately, the princess and the others are fine.

The arrow fired from the crossbow pierced the carriage with a man in it, less than half a meter away from the princess. It brushed the waist of Zheng Yinping who was next to the princess and pierced the wood of the carriage. If it had been a little off, the palace guards would have had to die to thank the emperor for his grace.

The princess should not have been injured, but she was hit by the deformed carriage and her head was buzzing.

The palace guards pulled the three of them out of the carriage, and then, without caring whether they were clean or not, stuffed the three of them under the carriage.

After doing all this, the palace guards pulled the flare in the bamboo tube. If there were any patrolling Qizhou soldiers nearby, they should come, but it's hard to say.

"Be careful, there's another group of people coming!"

After hearing Wu Shaoyi's reminder, the palace guards immediately discovered another group of people coming out of the woods. They deliberately avoided Yang Yiyi's side, and the guards who formed a human wall could not stop them at all.

Compared to the first group of people who rushed out, these guys were much better at kung fu, at least their lightness skills were much better. Facing the shield wall and gun formation blocking their way, they simply used their lightness skills to jump over them and headed straight for the princess.

The remaining guards quickly re-formed themselves in front of the princess's carriage, and the palace guards drew their weapons one after another, and soon the gang of guys attacked them.

All of them were wearing black scarves and masks, and without saying a word, they just headed straight towards the princess.

Wu Shaoyi immediately plucked the strings of the zither, and an invisible sound wave hit one of the assassins who had passed over the human wall. The latter immediately fell down like a kite with a broken string.

However, there were too many assassins and Wu Shaoyi could not stop them. Soon, the assassins started fighting with the palace guards.

The first assassins who rushed out, no matter from which direction, were basically cannon fodder. In terms of fighting ability, they were just at the level of ordinary people who were brave and aggressive.

And this wave of guys flying high and low is the real killer move.

In terms of quality, they are no match for the Imperial Guards. These guards are from the Tianjue Palace after all, and they are elite disciples who are recommended to serve in the palace.

But there are too many assassins!
On average, one eunuch guard had to deal with three or four people. They wanted to stop the assassins from leaving the princess's carriage, but they were seriously outnumbered and the more they fought, the more they were forced to retreat.

The guards were extremely anxious. If the assassin took one more step forward, he would come face to face with the princess.

Wu Shaoyi used the faint sound of the piano and the occasional short sounds of the flute to assist the palace guards in blocking the assassins, which did have some effect, but due to the huge disadvantage in numbers and the fear of accidentally hurting the palace guards, Wu Shaoyi did not dare to give his full effort.

At this time, He Ling, who had been confused for a long time, finally reacted and immediately dropped the bag.

An assassin got past the imperial guards and He Ling drew her sword and stepped forward to stop him, then cooperated with Wu Shaoyi to chop him to the ground.

He Ling's kung fu can't actually be considered weak, it mainly depends on who you compare it with. In terms of attribute value, He Ling's meridian attribute is roughly equivalent to the amount of two Sky-supporting Stones, which is actually a very good aptitude.

What's more, as the eldest sister, He Ling was not abandoned by the master like Yang Yiyi. She had also received careful guidance. She was not as good as Wu Shaoyi or Qin Yan, but was about the same level as Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping.

Speaking of these two people, Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping should also know kung fu, and they should be the last line of defense for the princess.

But there's a problem.

The two of them have no weapons.

They must follow the princess closely all day and must not carry weapons. Even if the palace guards know that these two people are reliable, it is still taboo to assassinate the king.

So the two of them were now literally unarmed, protecting the princess by hiding under the carriage.

The assassins must have investigated the princess's guards in advance. Although Wu Shaoyi and He Ling were added, they obviously could not turn the tide. More and more assassins pressed the palace guards and soon pushed the front line very close to the carriage. It was time to retreat.

But then again, whether it was the crossbow or the ballista, they only fired one round. During the time when the assassins were pressing forward, the palace guards and escorts were not covered by fire.

The reason...

"retreat!"

An angry shout sounded from the side of the assassins, with a force quite like the roar of a tiger or a dragon. The assassins who were trying to rush towards the princess vomited blood one after another.

The energy consumption of Earth-shaking Heaven and Earth Technique is too high, but we can use Tiger Roar Technique instead. Fusion does not mean that the original skills have disappeared.

Yang Yiyi landed on the ground and grabbed the arm of an assassin who was staggering due to the shock, then used him as a human battering ram and rushed towards the crowded place.

He can attack left and block right, and no one can defeat him.

Some assassins were knocked flying like rag dolls, some had their bones broken by the blows of the steel maces, and some were unlucky enough to be used as weapons by Yang Yiyi and fell directly into the soft grass.

What does bravery mean?
Not all martial arts masters are like Yang Yiyi, who can be called the reincarnation of a dump truck. In fact, most of the masters focus more on dodging and moving around rather than fighting head-on.

After all, if you take it head-on, you will definitely get hurt, so the best thing to do is to dodge if you can.

But Yang Yiyi took a completely opposite approach. She was not good at dodging or evading, and with her Extreme Vajra Skill and brute force, she didn't need to dodge.

In addition, she had also learned the magic skill of subduing demons, as well as magical items such as the protective wristbands given to her by Li Chengxi. Now she didn't have to dodge anymore.

This kind of stubborn and reckless style of play will be disadvantageous when dealing with experts, but it can be said to be invincible against inferior opponents.

These assassins' skills were not as good as the palace guards, but they were more numerous and could be beaten.

What Yang Yiyi is least afraid of is crowds. Come on! Watch me use my unparalleled skills!

This greatly slowed down the assassins' advance, and soon their formation was broken up.

At this time, fireworks exploded in the sky, which could be clearly seen even in the daytime, which cheered up the palace guards.

A patrolling soldier saw the signal just sent!
