Didn’t Tan Junyan lead a large group of people out of the city?
How come you suddenly appear here?
Beads of sweat rolled down Yu Chang's forehead, and his eyes were full of panic and fear.
For a moment, he stood there in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
I just can't understand how a perfect opportunity that was originally foolproof could turn into a desperate situation.
After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "Didn't you... go to Pengshi City?"
Tan Junyan looked indifferent and smiled contemptuously: "Those little tricks of yours have long been seen through by the gods."
"Under the guidance of the gods, we have laid a net for you. Today, you cannot escape even if you have wings."
After saying that, he waved his hand lightly, and five thousand Tan family soldiers wearing armor and holding crossbows appeared behind him like ghosts.
Yu Chang's eyes rolled around in panic, and after a moment, he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha……"
"Tan Junyan, stop being so arrogant!"
"Your army has all gone to Pengshi City. What can you do to me with just a few thousand people?"
"Now, with just one order from me, you will be my prisoner in a moment."
A hint of coldness flashed in Tan Junyan's eyes, "Then you can try it."
"Let's try it."
Yu Chang suddenly raised the long sword in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Listen to me, everyone. The main force of the Tan family army is not here. As long as we kill these thousands of people in front of us, Pengshui City will be ours."
"Whoever captures Tan Junyan alive will be promoted three ranks."
"Kill all the Tan family soldiers and capture Tan Junyan alive. Charge!"
“Go ahead…”
When the Daliang army heard this, they were energized.
After repeated defeats in battles with the Tan family army, the accumulated resentment suddenly erupted.
They seemed to see the dawn of revenge and rushed madly towards the red soil mountain.
Yu Chang had a sneer on his face and was secretly thinking in his heart that he must capture Tan Junyan this time to avenge his previous humiliation.
"You're not sure what to do."
Tan Junyan's face darkened and she said coldly, "Release."
Five thousand armored soldiers were busy operating crossbows and shooting.
For a moment, crossbow arrows poured down like a dense swarm of insects.
Before the Daliang army could react, they fell down in large numbers like harvested wheat.
Seeing this, Yu Chang was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
He hurriedly shouted, "Set up the shield, set up the shield! Keep charging forward, charge!"
The Daliang army finally woke up from their dream, raised their shields and continued to charge forward.
"Don't be afraid, their arrows can't stop us..."
Yu Chang's shouting stopped abruptly.
It was seen that the speed at which the Daliang army charged forward was far slower than the speed at which they fell.
Those arrows were incredibly powerful. Shields and armor were like paper in front of them and could not be stopped at all.
Some arrows can even penetrate several people in a row without losing momentum.
Yu Chang's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
What kind of arrow is this?
How could it be so terrifying?
There were only a few thousand of them, how could they fire such a dense rain of arrows?
It's incredible, too unbelievable.
"Don't charge, it's... a repeating crossbow, a repeating crossbow, it's a repeating crossbow..."
A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly shouted.
"Crossbow!" Yu Chang's face turned pale in an instant, and he felt like he was struck by lightning, his nerves almost out of control.
"Coach, what should we do?"
A general asked Yu Chang anxiously.
No one would have expected that the Tan family army actually possessed the legendary battlefield weapon - the repeating crossbow!
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Yu Chang finally came to his senses and roared at the top of his lungs.
The enemy is armed solely with repeating crossbows, so continuing to charge would be a waste of life.
Even if all the soldiers were exhausted, the Tan family army could not be harmed at all.
"puff!"
Just as Yu Chang was about to turn his head, a crossbow arrow shot out like lightning and instantly pierced his shoulder.
The armor shoulder guards, which were supposed to provide protection, were completely powerless against the crossbow arrows and were directly pierced through.
"Ah!" Yu Chang let out a scream and fell off his horse.
"Coach!"
"Quick, protect the coach!"
The nearby generals shouted.
A group of soldiers quickly rushed towards Yu Chang, trying to protect him in the middle.
"Concentrate your arrows and shoot Yu Chang."
Tan Junyan's eyes were sharp and she gave orders decisively.
Five thousand soldiers quickly adjusted the direction of their crossbows, and dense crossbow arrows once again poured towards Yu Chang like locusts.
Each crossbow arrow has extremely strong penetrating power and easily passes through the bodies of the soldiers, making their armor seem like just a decoration.
Some arrows pierced through several people in succession and still flew forward with fierce momentum.
For a moment, blood splattered and screams were heard.
The soldiers who tried to protect Yu Chang fell down in large numbers like fallen leaves swept by the wind.
Yu Chang covered the bloody wound on his shoulder, his eyes full of fear.
He tried to struggle to stand up and run away, but his legs were too weak to move due to fear.
He secretly swore in his heart that if he could escape this disaster today, he would never be an enemy of Tan Junyan again.
"Protect the coach, protect the coach..."
A general shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice becoming hoarse.
The area around Yu Chang was already filled with the corpses of the Daliang army. They used their flesh and blood to build a fragile life defense line for Yu Chang.
Yu Chang was still within the range of the crossbow and was not out of danger.
"Coach, run!"
A general shouted, but before he could finish his words, a crossbow arrow pierced his heart.
