Xiao Nanhui let out a low shout and quickly broke up Tiancheng's gathered cavalry formation, trying to weaken his own target.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, three more arrows came one after another, killing three more people in a blink of an eye.
This time she was able to lock onto the archer's position. She suddenly turned around and looked at the watchtower not far away. The arrows were shot from there.
Shrike was killing fiercely not far away. She shot back and picked up two more desperate bandits. With a light scold, Jixiang turned nimbly, jumped out of the chaotic battle, and ran towards the watchtower.
The men in the watchtower also sensed her intentions, and feathered arrows flew through the air. She tentatively swung her spear to block, only to discover that while the opponent's arrows were accurate, their power was not very strong. Therefore, all the arrows had penetrated the gaps under the armor, and none of them had penetrated.
She urged Jixiang to speed up her pace, and the spear in her hand danced so tightly that the arrow could not get close to her.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the watchtower, Xiao Nanhui galloped away on his horse without slowing down. He held the spear across his waist, and when the opportunity arose, he twisted his waist and swung it out. The sharp spear head whistled and chopped towards the bundled green bamboo at the bottom of the watchtower. The bamboo poles, as thick as a bowl, broke with a sound, and a corner of the watchtower collapsed instantly. Then the entire tower lost its balance and tilted to one side.
The cover on the top of the tower fell apart, revealing a thin figure. He tried to grab a bamboo pole on the watchtower that was not completely broken, but the barbed wire on it pierced his palm and he fell down.
At the moment the man fell, Xiao Nanhui heard "he" call out softly, and the whole person paused.
It was a woman's voice.
There are few women in Bijiang who practice martial arts, and archery skills as exquisite as the one just shown are even rarer.
A strange feeling spread in his heart, and Xiao Nanhui drove Jixiang closer to the place where the man fell.
The other person was wearing a small braided jacket that ordinary Bijiang people wore. She looked quite thin. She might have fainted from the collision just now. Her messy hair covered half of her face, and the half that was exposed looked dirty.
Is she overthinking it?
Holding her breath, she raised the flat string in her hand.
Tiancheng had issued a marching order not to kill women and children, but she felt the current situation was different. The other person wasn't just a woman, but a warrior like herself. And the ground beneath her feet was a battlefield. She couldn't waver, and she couldn't create any hidden dangers for the Tiancheng soldiers who followed her.
With a slight exertion of force on his arm, the straight gun barrel was ready to end this brief confrontation.
However, the next second, she keenly noticed someone approaching rapidly from behind her right.
Everything happened so fast that Xiao Nanhui only caught a glimpse of a red-armored cavalryman rushing towards him in his peripheral vision.
The red-robed and armored Tiancheng Subei Army soldiers were not the enemy. Xiao Nanhui breathed a sigh of relief and made no move to retaliate.
But then her palm felt numb, and her arm slammed heavily against her waist due to the huge vibration.
Accompanied by a sharp sound of metal rubbing against each other, the silver light fell, and the flat string broke into two pieces in an instant. She widened her eyes in disbelief.
This was the first time in Xiao Nanhui's life that her enemy's spear was blocked by friendly soldiers on the battlefield.
No, not blocking it. It was intercepting it.
Everything around her seemed to slow down, and she saw the man on the horse slowly turn around, revealing a face that she was very familiar with.
Xiao Zhun's blood-stained eyes revealed a complex emotion mixed with fear and joy, and these eyes were staring at the Bijiang man on the ground.
Ever since the day she set out on her solo expedition several months ago, not a single day had passed without her fantasizing about the moment of reuniting with him.
However, she never imagined that the reunion would be like this.
Xiao Nanhui stood there in a daze, and the broken gun barrel in his hand slipped away.
At this moment, she still didn't understand what was happening. She just felt that she had never seen Xiao Zhun with such an expression before.
