"Don't panic, ah!" the deputy general continued to shout at the top of his voice.
"Form a formation, shield quickly..."
When the soldiers around the deputy general heard this, those who had shields used them immediately, while those who didn't have shields simply pulled up the bodies of their companions on the ground and used them to block in front of them.
The whizzing rain of arrows was still falling towards them. In an instant, blood was flying everywhere, and the strong smell of blood filled their heads.
Er Gouzi and the long-armed scout lay on the ground, listening to the crossbow arrows flying overhead and the screams from the opposite side, their faces turning frighteningly pale.
When King Qianhuang said to shoot, they just lay down on the ground.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly, otherwise...
They didn't even need to look up to know that the scene was extremely tragic.
Up to now, they could only hear the crossbows attacking from King Qianhuang's side. The arrows shot by the archers on Fan Jinchang's side had no attack power at all. They hadn't even reached them, so how could they hit King Qianhuang's men?
Shen Yong saw that most of the enemy archers were dead, and shouted,
"Surrender your weapons but don't kill me. Capture Fan Jinchang and you'll be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
Shen Yong's voice clearly reached the enemy's ears.
Fan Jinchang, who was being protected by his personal guards and kept running backwards, cursed angrily with a pale face.
"Damn it, you bastard! I'm going to kill Chen Yong with my own hands to avenge this shame!"
“Ahem…”
Fan Jinchang covered his chest and coughed a few times.
In Shen Yong's eyes, his life was only worth a thousand taels. What an insult, truly an insult!
The surrounding soldiers heard Shen Yong's shout and paused in their fleeing steps.
Tens of thousands of people turned and fled in unison, but it was obvious that they couldn't run fast.
Didn’t you see that the soldiers were all falling into a heap?
Those at the end of the team probably don’t know what’s happening in front of them.
The soldiers at the front were in a miserable situation. If the enemy caught up with them and shot them with two arrows, they would be dead.
Especially when they saw Fan Jinchang's personal soldiers stabbing one of their own people because someone blocked their way of retreat.
What the hell is going on?
The enemy didn't kill them, but their own general killed his brothers in order to facilitate his escape.
The soldiers looked at each other, then glanced at Fan Jinchang and his group who were still desperately retreating. They simultaneously dropped their knives, covered their heads, and squatted in the ditch beside them.
Soon, small yellowed white flags tied to swords and knives began to rise in the ditch.
The scene looked a bit like a farewell party for Fan Jinchang along a ten-mile-long street.
The soldiers took the portraits, but no one dared to capture Fan Jinchang for a thousand taels.
The dozens of personal soldiers surrounding Fan Jinchang were not easy to deal with. If they surrounded him, they would be courting death.
Ji Guangda smiled as he watched the enemy soldiers throw down their weapons and jump into the ditch to surrender.
"Bring me the crossbow!"
Without the cover of those soldiers, Fan Jinchang and his group were exposed while retreating.
"Your Majesty, it's just within range, give it a try!?"
Ji Guangda handed a crossbow to Shen Yong.
With so many soldiers blocking the road, even though Fan Jinchang was escorted by his personal soldiers, he couldn't run fast.
Chen Yong curled his lips into a smile and took the crossbow, "Let's deal with those personal soldiers as well!"
He also gained some experience. The general killed his own soldiers who blocked his way in order to escape. It was very cool.
"Okay." Ji Guangda responded with a smile, "Those bastards don't deserve to live."
Shen Yong raised his crossbow and aimed at the personal soldiers protecting Fan Jinchang.
With a whoosh, three arrows flew out of his hand at the same time.
Two arrows also flew out from Ji Guangda's hands.
After the guards realized that all the soldiers blocking their way had jumped into the ditch, they frowned and cursed inwardly, "A bunch of trash."
Without soldiers to help them block the arrows, they had to act separately.
A few people were leading the way in front, and a few were blocking the arrows in the back, and the speed obviously slowed down again.
"puff!"
"Protect...protect...the general...uh..."
With a "bang".
When one of the personal soldiers fell down, the other personal soldiers were startled and tightened their grip on their swords.
How could such powerful arrows suddenly appear?
Fan Jinchang heard the sound of his personal soldiers falling, turned around and took a quick look, his eyes full of fear.
Why...why does Shen Yong have such an excellent crossbowman.
The archers on his side obviously couldn't hurt the enemy, but the enemy's crossbows killed them so easily.
"ah!"
Just as Fan Jinchang turned his head, another personal soldier fell down with a scream.
“Quick, get out of the way!!!”
Fan Jinchang shouted anxiously, "Retreat, retreat quickly!!"
These damn soldiers only know how to scream at the critical moment. When they can't win, they just run away.
Looking at the soldiers who were huddled together and lying on the ground in front of him, Fan Jinchang gritted his teeth, stepped directly on the soldiers' bodies, and ran backwards with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Seeing this, the bodyguards followed Fan Jinchang without hesitation and retreated quickly, stepping on the bodies of the soldiers who were about to stand up.
The army of tens of thousands of people was like a pile of loose sand, some died, some were injured, some surrendered, and some fell into a heap.
The soldiers at the end of the team hadn't figured out what was going on yet, but the smart ones just ran back when they heard the screams.
"Run! The enemy is coming!"
Someone clever shouted something at the end of the team. The soldiers who were stretching their necks to look forward curiously heard it, hesitated for a moment, and then ran back.
Chen Yong watched Fan Jinchang run out of range by stepping on human flesh, and sneered.
"You take your men to capture the surrendered soldiers, and I will go capture Fan Jinchang."
