The autumn wind was bleak, bringing with it gusts of bone-chilling cold.
In autumn, the temperature at Yanmen Pass is extremely low, and in the depths of the desert, snow is already falling on the mountains.
But what is more chilling than the autumn wind is the greed of people.
"Enemy forces are attacking the city!"
As the beacon fires rose on the watchtowers, bugle calls echoed throughout the military camp.
The Chen soldiers stationed on the city walls, under the command of their respective commanders, braved the cold wind to resist the offensive of the Qing army.
At this moment, General Guan's tent was filled with officers from all sides, and Li Yi and Song Jie were also standing in a corner chatting quietly.
"General, we need reinforcements from the north city wall!"
A messenger rushed into the camp to report to General Guan.
After hearing the military intelligence brought by the messenger, General Guan raised his eyebrows and looked at the many officers in the tent.
"Who is willing to go and reinforce the north city wall?"
On the north side of the city wall, a vanguard captain of the Qing Kingdom, who was at the fifth level of Body Refinement, was leading his troops, and under his command were several rather powerful junior commanders.
This is a tough opponent!
For a moment, everyone in the tent remained silent, fearing that they might be chosen.
Seeing this, Li Yi raised his head and walked over the crowd to the center of the camp.
"General, I request permission to fight!"
General Guan was overjoyed to see Li Yi volunteer and handed the token to Li Yi.
"I hereby order you to lead your troops to reinforce the northern city wall, and I hereby grant you the authority to adapt to changing circumstances!"
With this power to adapt to changing circumstances, Li Yi became the supreme commander of the North City Wall!
Upon seeing this, Li Yi quickly took the token, led his personal guards back to camp, and took the more than two hundred archers directly to the north city wall.
As Li Yi climbed the stone steps to the top of the city wall, he saw thousands of soldiers surging up the wall along the siege ladders, while many of Qing Kingdom's elite troops held up shields to protect the siege equipment.
"The first and second detachments will take turns firing arrows, the third detachment will be on standby, and the fourth detachment will provide cover!"
Under Li Yi's command, hundreds of archers took turns raining down arrows.
After months of intensive training by Li Yi, these archers' archery skills improved by leaps and bounds, with not only increased power but also much higher accuracy.
As arrows rained down, many Qing Kingdom soldiers were killed or wounded, slowing down the Qing Kingdom's offensive.
After receiving support from Li Yi and others, the soldiers on the north city wall were able to catch their breath.
However, one of the biggest reasons why the Qing Kingdom dared to invade the wealthy Chen Kingdom was its advanced craftsmanship.
For example, the Soul-Devouring Lightning that appeared in Blackstone Town was a product of the Qing Kingdom's secret craftsmanship!
Several centurions from the Qing Kingdom led their elite troops in throwing out black objects, and thick smoke immediately billowed out, enveloping the north city wall.
"not good!"
Upon seeing this, Li Yi was greatly alarmed.
The thick smoke can impair the archers' vision and prevent them from unleashing a hail of arrows!
Without the support of archers, the defenders of the north city wall were unable to withstand the offensive of the Qing Kingdom's vanguard!
We can't let them keep releasing smoke!
"Han Jia, lead men to disperse the smoke!"
After ordering Han Jia to lead his men to disperse the smoke, Li Yi immediately took out the Seven Kill Bow from behind him!
The only way to stop them from releasing the smoke is to kill these centurions!
Li Yi could see clearly that these centurions possessed body-refining cultivation, which allowed them to avoid the arrow rain from the archers and release the thick smoke.
In an instant, five iron arrows were nocked onto the Seven Kill Bow and flew straight towards the Qing Kingdom's formation with a few whooshing sounds.
Five planets aligned!
Swift Arrow!
With the two arrow skills combined, five iron arrows arrived in an instant, fast and powerful!
Clang!
Just a hundred paces away, a Qing Kingdom centurion who was about to throw a smoke canister fell to the ground dead, riddled with arrows. The smoke canister in his hand also fell to the ground and shattered, and a plume of smoke rose from the Qing Kingdom army.
This scene shocked the other centurions of the Qing Kingdom.
"Shield Formation! Cover!"
The Qing Kingdom vanguard soldiers, who were holding shields, quickly raised their shields to protect the centurion behind them.
With their men protecting them, the centurions picked up their smoke canisters again, ready to throw them at the north city wall once more.
Did you think that meant I had no other options?
Looking at the centurion, who was blocked by the shield, Li Yi remained calm and drew his bow again.
At present, the Seven Kill Bow can perfectly utilize Li Yi's seven-stone drawing power, and when combined with the Swift Wind Arrow, the power of the arrows fired is several times greater than that of his soldiers.
shhhhhh!
Li Yi unleashed the Five Stars Alignment and Gale Arrow once again, but this time, he incorporated archery techniques into his attack!
Five arrows shot out in succession, like long snakes heading straight for the shield formation raised by the Qing Kingdom soldiers.
when!
The first arrow shattered the shields held by the Qing soldiers!
Snapped!
The second arrow shattered the shield in the hands of the Qing soldiers, and the remaining three arrows flew through the crack and instantly pierced into the shield formation.
The shield formation paused for a few breaths before disintegrating completely.
The centurion in the shield formation had already been pinned to death by the arrows shot by Li Yi!
After the centurion's death, the Qing Kingdom's vanguard army fell into brief chaos.
good chance!
Seeing that the Qing Kingdom's vanguard was starting to fall into disarray, Li Yi once again used the Five Stars Alignment technique, continuously picking off these Qing Kingdom centurions.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, four centurions died at Li Yi's hands.
Seeing the two or three centurions who dared not show their faces again, a look of bewilderment appeared in Li Yi's eyes.
As he killed the centurions, he vaguely sensed that a strange energy had entered the Seven Kill Bow.
Suddenly, Li Yi remembered the blacksmith Tang Yiping's advice.
"Could this be the evil energy that Master Tang was talking about, the Seven Kill Bow's ability to absorb?"
Seeing this, Li Yi focused his mind and breath, concentrating all his attention on the Seven Kill Bow, and fired another arrow at the vanguard of the Qing Kingdom.
"The power has indeed increased slightly compared to before!"
Recalling the first arrow shot with the Seven Kill Bow, Li Yi discovered that the arrow's power had increased by a negligible amount.
It seems that the malevolent energy is subtly increasing the power of the Seven Killings Bow. Although the increase is extremely small, over time it will become a force to be reckoned with!
Seeing this, Li Yi once again drew his bow and shot an arrow, killing the Qing soldiers.
After several Qing Kingdom centurions were killed by Li Yi, the Qing Kingdom vanguard was no longer able to throw smoke canisters, and the thick smoke that had previously enveloped the north city wall was also dispersed by Han Jia and his men.
In a short time, the archer battalion regained its fighting strength!
Waves of arrows rained down, once again hindering the advance of the Qing Kingdom's vanguard army.
Without reinforcements, the Qing Kingdom vanguard that had climbed the north city wall was gradually wiped out by Han Jia and his men.
If this continues, the crisis at the northern city wall can be resolved!
After observing the battle situation on the north city wall, Li Yi nodded and quickly ordered his three archer garrisons to take turns resting.
Boom!
Suddenly, a muffled drumbeat rang out, pressing heavily on everyone's hearts.
Li Yi suddenly looked up and saw a huge military flag slowly approaching the north city wall from behind the Qing Kingdom's vanguard.
"That's the flag of the Qing Kingdom's captain!"
"The Qing Kingdom captain has taken action himself!"
