Transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms as Lu Bu: I Have a Pseudo-Apocalypse System
Chapter 34 Li Jue and Guo Si are shot with arrows
"Hiss—" Li Jue gasped, his heart filled with horror.
This Lu Bu can actually shoot that far?
Moreover, the force was so great that even from more than two hundred steps away, it still gave him a headache!
"Guards, protect me!" Li Jue roared immediately, turning around and lowering his head as he retreated down the hillside.
This place is no longer safe!
Lu Bu is terrifying. He can hit him from more than 200 paces away. Such archery skills and divine strength are simply unheard of!
No one in history has ever been able to do this!
Li Jue now only wants to get as far away from Lü Bu as possible.
However, he had barely finished shouting "Protect me, guards!" before he had even fully turned around or lowered his head—
The second arrow has arrived!
After Lu Bu fired the first arrow, he didn't even need to see the result.
His 102 perception points had already sensed Li Jue's evasive movements, and his 102 reaction and agility allowed him to draw the second arrow the instant the first arrow left the bowstring.
Draw the bow, nock the arrow, and shoot!
The whole process took less than a second.
The second arrow was Lü Bu's prediction of Li Jue's response to the first arrow—tilting his head, turning to the side, turning around, and lowering his head.
Therefore, this arrow was not aimed at Li Jue's current head position, but rather at the position that the center point of Li Jue's head would move to after he lowered his head.
The arrow struck with lightning speed, hitting the very center of Li Jue's helmet with perfect accuracy!
"puff--!"
This time there was no crisp metallic clang, but rather the muffled thud of an arrow piercing a helmet!
The specially crafted, hundred-times-refined steel arrowhead, propelled by the immense force of the ten-stone bow, pierced through the iron armor of Li Jue's helmet!
The arrow pierced the helmet, broke through the lining, and embedded itself in Li Jue's skull!
Although the arrow's remaining force was insufficient to completely pierce the skull due to the great distance, the fact that the arrowhead penetrated deep into the brain was still fatal.
Li Jue let out a short, painful scream, his body stiffened, and his eyes widened in shock, fear, and disbelief.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only a mouthful of bloody foam came out.
Then, he fell straight backward and crashed to the ground with a "thud".
The arrow was still stuck in his head, its white fletching trembling slightly in the wind.
Li Jue's personal guards, generals, messengers, and even Guo Si were all stunned.
"Protect General Guo!" Jia Xu was the first to react, shouting sharply, "Raise your shields! Everyone raise your shields! Lü Bu can still shoot arrows!"
However, it was too late.
On the battlefield, after Lu Bu fired the second arrow, he did not stop at all.
His 102 reflexes and agility allowed him to draw, nock, and fire arrows at an astonishing speed.
The third and fourth arrows were shot at Guo Si.
Guo Si was shocked by Li Jue's sudden arrow wound. Upon hearing Jia Xu's shout, he was startled and immediately tried to lie down on the ground.
But Lü Bu's arrows were too fast.
The third arrow grazed Guo Si's shoulder and pierced the chest of one of his bodyguards.
The fourth arrow, anticipating Guo Si's dodge, followed immediately.
Before Guo Si could fully lie down on the ground, an arrow pierced his back!
"puff--"
The armor plates of the Mingguang Armor were torn apart by the arrow, and the arrow was deeply embedded in Guo Si's back, with half an inch of the arrowhead protruding from his chest!
"Ah!" Guo Si screamed and fell to the ground.
Fresh blood gushed from both the front and back wounds.
"General!" The guards panicked and rushed over.
Guo Si gritted his teeth, his face deathly pale, his intense will to live driving him to try and stay alive. However, Lü Bu's arrow pierced his chest; he only lasted two or three seconds longer than Li Jue before his head lolled to the side, and he died.
On the battlefield, Lü Bu's archery had not stopped.
The fifth and sixth arrows were shot at Jia Xu.
When Li Jue was hit by the first arrow, Jia Xu realized something was wrong. He reminded everyone to protect Guo Si while he began to dodge.
Although he was not a military general, he was quick-witted and had a fast reaction time.
Upon seeing Guo Si struck by an arrow, Jia Xu immediately covered his head and face with his hands and crouched down on the ground.
The fifth arrow flew past his neck and struck one of his personal guards, killing him instantly.
Then, Lü Bu, anticipating Jia Xu's dodge, fired his sixth arrow, piercing Jia Xu's left forearm. The arrowhead, dripping with flesh and blood, continued forward, striking the bright armor on Jia Xu's chest.
"Clang!" The arrow was blocked by the armor plate and failed to penetrate.
But the excruciating pain of his forearm being pierced by the arrow made Jia Xu groan, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
Fortunately, Lü Bu's killing of Li Jue and Guo Si first gave Jia Xu some time to react, and he did not die on the spot like Li Jue and Guo Si. Jia Xu endured the excruciating pain and scrambled to hide behind a supply wagon.
He was still alive, but his left forearm had been pierced by an arrow, and blood was gushing out.
The seventh and eighth arrows were not aimed at people.
The seventh arrow was shot at Li Jue's command flag.
"Crack!" The flagpole was snapped in two by a heavy arrow, and the large flag embroidered with the character "Li" swayed before slowly falling to the ground.
The eighth arrow was shot at Guo Si's command flag.
Equally precise, equally powerful.
"Crack!" The second flagpole broke, and the "Guo" flag also fell down.
The two banners fell almost simultaneously.
The hillside was in complete chaos.
Li Jue and Guo Si are dead, Jia Xu is wounded and in hiding, and both commanders' flags have fallen.
Some of the guards rushed to rescue Guo Si, some checked whether Li Jue was really dead, some held up their shields to keep watch, and some were already panicked and didn't know what to do.
"General Li is dead!"
"General Guo is dead too!"
"The commander's flag has fallen!"
"What do we do? Who's in charge now?"
"Lu Bu, Lu Bu is still shooting arrows!"
Panic spread rapidly.
On the battlefield, Lü Bu had already received a huge reward for the deaths of Li Jue and Guo Si (who were considered zombie kings by the system). Although he failed to kill Jia Xu, the deaths of the two enemy generals and the fall of their banners had perfectly achieved the effect Lü Bu wanted.
Red Hare had already risen; its kneeling earlier was just an act. This divine steed still had plenty of energy left.
Lü Bu mounted his horse, lifted his ninety-nine-pound halberd, pointed it towards the hillside, and with a powerful shout that shook the surrounding area:
"Li Jue and Guo Si are dead, their banners have fallen, the Liangzhou army must surrender immediately! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
His voice, like thunder, echoed across the north bank of the Ba River.
Many of the Liangzhou troops who were besieging Lü Bu's personal guard camp heard it.
They were startled and instinctively turned to look in the direction of the central army.
Sure enough, the two conspicuous banners on the hillside were gone!
Li Jue and Guo Si, who were standing on the slope directing the operation, have also disappeared from sight!
"Has the commander's flag really fallen?"
"Where are General Li and General Guo?"
"Could he really be dead?"
Panic, like a plague, instantly erupted among the Liangzhou army.
These Liangzhou soldiers were a motley crew, but they dared to desperately besiege Lü Bu because of two reasons: first, the strict orders from Li Jue and Guo Si and the large swords of the supervising officers; and second, the generous reward.
Now that the commander's flag has fallen, and Li Jue and Guo Si are likely dead, who will take command? Who will distribute rewards?
Moreover, Lü Bu's inhuman martial prowess had long instilled fear in many people.
During the siege just now, seeing their comrades die in droves at the hands of Lü Bu and his heavy cavalry, many of them were already filled with fear.
Now that the commander-in-chief is gone, what's the point of fighting?
"I surrender, please don't kill me!" A Liangzhou soldier was the first to drop his weapon and kneel down.
Once there's a first one, there's a second, a third...
"We surrender!"
"I'm not fighting anymore!"
"Lord Wen, spare my life!"
