Chapter 1542 Attack from both sides
A crossbow is actually an oversized hand crossbow that is usually fixed on the city wall or pushed around with wheels underneath.
This thing is actually a kind of siege weapon. A city wall made of clay and blue bricks will be shot through by a ballista arrow. It is far more powerful than the crossbow in your hand.
The arrows it fired were like large javelins. Due to Li Chengqi's reminder, Yang Yiyi got out of the way, but the people behind her couldn't get out of the way.
One of the guards in formation was very unlucky to be hit by the crossbow. The huge momentum caused him to continue flying backwards with the arrow, and with a thud, he hit the princess's carriage without any bias.
The bullet speed of the crossbow was so fast that the Ouchi guards surrounding the carriage didn't even see it clearly. Then they heard a bang, and half of the carriage was destroyed by the crossbow arrows and a man hanging on it.
This time, the Ouchi guards were so frightened that they almost flew out of their wits!
The horse pulling the carriage was frightened and neighed and tried to escape. Ouchi's guard made a prompt decision and cut off the horse's harness with a knife, otherwise the frightened horse would run away with the carriage to who knows where.
The other Ouchi guards quickly jumped on the carriage and hurriedly opened the deformed carriage.
Fortunately, the princess and the others are fine.
The arrow fired by the ballista pierced the carriage with a person, less than half a meter away from the princess. It could be said that it rubbed the waist of Zheng Yinping next to the princess and pierced the wood of the carriage. If it were a little off, the Ouchi guards might have to die to thank the emperor for his kindness.
The princess was probably not injured, but she was hit by the deformed carriage and her head was buzzing.
The Ouchi guards took the three of them out of the carriage, and then stuffed the three of them under the carriage without caring about whether they were clean or not.
After doing this, the Ouchi guard sounded the signal flare in the bamboo tube. If there were patrolling Qizhou soldiers around, they would come, but there was no telling.
"Be careful, another group of people are here!"
Upon hearing Wu Shaoyi's reminder, the Ouchi guards immediately found another group of people emerging from the woods. They deliberately avoided Yang Yiyi's side, and the guards forming a human wall could not stop them at all.
Compared with the group of people who rushed out at the beginning, this group of guys had much better kung fu, at least their light kung fu was much better. Facing the shield wall and gun array in front of them, they jumped over with light kung fu and went straight to the princess. Here it comes.
The remaining guards quickly reorganized in front of the princess's carriage. The Ouchi guards drew their weapons, and it didn't take long for these guys to kill them.
Everyone wore black scarves and covered their faces. They didn't say anything at all and just headed straight for the princess.
Wu Shaoyi immediately fiddled with the strings, and an invisible sound wave hit one of the assassins who crossed 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 Ouchi guards.
The first assassins to rush out, no matter which direction they come from, are basically cannon fodder. In terms of force value, they are only at the level of ordinary people who are brave and ruthless.
And this wave of guys coming and going is the real killer move.
In terms of quality, they are no match for the Ouchi guards. These guards are also from Tianjue Palace after all, and they are all elite disciples who are recommended to work in the palace.
But there are too many assassins!
On average, an imperial guard had to deal with three or four people. He originally wanted to stop the assassin from driving the princess' car, but as a result, the number of people was seriously insufficient. The more he fought, the more he was forced to retreat.
The guards could be said to be extremely anxious. If the assassin was allowed to take another step forward, he would have to face the princess face to face.
Wu Shaoyi used the faint sound of the piano and the short flute sounds that sounded from time to time to assist the Ouchi guards in blocking the assassins, which indeed had some effect. However, due to the huge disadvantage in numbers and the fear of accidentally injuring the Ouchi guards, Wu Shaoyi did not dare to use his full strength.
At this time, He Ling, who had been confused for a long time, finally came to his senses and immediately dropped the burden.
An assassin overcame the obstruction of Ouchi's guards. He Ling drew her sword and stepped forward to stop him, and 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 he is competing with. In terms of attribute values, He Ling's meridian attributes are roughly equivalent to the amount of two Skystones. This qualification is actually very good.
What's more, as a senior sister, He Ling was not given up by her master like Yang Yiyi, and was carefully guided. She was not on the same level as Wu Shaoyi or Qin Yan, but she was similar to Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping.
Speaking of these two people, Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping should be good at kung fu and should be the last line of defense around the princess.
But there's a problem.
The two of them have no weapons.
If you follow the princess all day long, you must not carry weapons on your back. Even if the Ouchi guards know that these two people are reliable, they still have the taboo of assassinating the king.
So the two of them were literally defenseless now, protecting the princess and hiding under the carriage.
The assassins must have investigated the security forces around the princess in advance. Although there were two more people, Wu Shaoyi and He Ling, they obviously could not change the situation. More and more assassins were suppressing the imperial guards. Soon the battle line was pushed very close to the carriage, and it was a point where they could retire.
But having said that, whether it was a crossbow or a ballista, it only fired one round. During the time when the assassins pressed forward, the Ouchi guards and guards were not covered by fire.
The reason...
"Retreat!"
An angry shout sounded from the side of the assassins, with the power of roaring tigers and roaring dragons. The assassins who were trying hard to rush towards the princess vomited blood.
The Earth-shaking Kung Fu consumes too much, but we can use the Tiger Roar Kung Fu. Fusion does not mean that the original kung fu will disappear.
Yang Yiyi landed on the ground and grabbed the arm of a staggering assassin, then used him as a human battering ram and rushed towards a crowded place.
Rushing left and blocking right, no one can defeat him.
Some assassins were blown away like rag dolls, some had their bones shattered by the hammer, and some were unlucky enough to be used as weapons by Yang Yiyi and fell directly into the soft grass.
What is bravery!
Not all masters in the arena are like Yang Yiyi, who can be called the reincarnation of a dump truck. In fact, the vast majority of masters pay more attention to dodges and maneuvers rather than hard resistance.
After all, hard resistance will definitely cause damage, and dodging as much as possible is the way to go.
But Yang Yiyi took the completely opposite path. She was not good at dodges and maneuvers in the first place. She didn't need to dodge with the Ultimate Vajra Skill and her brute strength.
In addition, she has also learned the magic technique of subduing demons, as well as the protective wristbands and other magical items that Li Chengqi gave her. Now it is better, and there is no need to dodge.
This kind of head-on attack style will suffer losses when dealing with masters, but it can be said to be invincible against opponents.
The skills of these assassins are not as good as those of Ouchi guards, but there are many of them, so they can fight with pressure.
What Yang Yiyi is not afraid of the most is the crowds, come on! Watch me show off my unparalleled skills!
This greatly slowed down the assassin's progress, and soon the formation was broken up.
At this time, fireworks that could be seen clearly even in the daytime exploded in the sky, which refreshed the spirits of the Ouchi guards.
A patrolling soldier saw the signal just sent!
