Tian Xiao panicked and reflexively grabbed the soldier next to him and put him in front of him.
He quickly squatted down against the wall, hiding himself behind the soldiers.
“Squeak!”
The soldier was suddenly pulled up by Tian Xiao, and before he could react, a crossbow arrow was stuck in his chest.
"ah!!!"
The soldier screamed, his eyes widened, and he fell straight down.
Tian Xiao grabbed the soldier's back with both hands and yelled at the crossbowmen,
"Quick, the rebels are up there, shoot them..."
As soon as Tian Xiao finished shouting, a sky full of crossbow arrows flew towards everyone from the roof.
"Swish swish~~"
“Swoosh~~”
As soon as the crossbowmen turned around, they were pierced by crossbow arrows.
Before they could fight back, more than half of them were knocked down.
“Ahhhh!!”
Tian Xiao was surrounded by the screams of the crossbowmen, which made his legs and feet go weak.
He held the dead soldier tightly in his hand, used the soldier's body to shield his own body, and ran backwards quickly.
"ah!"
Magistrate Tian looked at the arrow stuck in his calf, his eyes widened and he let out a wail of pain.
Wei Jianxiong, who was left behind, saw the rain of arrows flying towards Tian Xiao and others, and his face turned pale with fright.
“Run!!”
Wei Jianxiong turned his horse around and roared at the 100,000 troops behind him.
He took back what he had just said about being jealous of Tian Xiao for leading the crossbowmen to ambush the rebels and reap all the military credit.
This is not about competing for military merit, this is about competing to report to the underworld.
The 100,000 stunned soldiers suddenly came to their senses, turned around and pushed each other to escape.
The soldiers with shields in their hands quickly put the shields on their heads, covering the key parts of several of their comrades at once - the skulls!
However, the street was so wide that 100,000 soldiers turned around and rushed back, and it was inevitable that some of them fell down.
Roars, screams, and wails suddenly filled the air.
With the 100,000 soldiers turning around, Wei Jianxiong went from being the vanguard to the last one in line.
Wei Jianxiong was so anxious that his voice almost split.
Hearing the increasingly frequent sound of arrows and the miserable screams behind him, Wei Jianxiong turned pale with fright.
He looked at the soldiers huddled together in front of him, gritted his teeth, patted the horse's back, and jumped off.
The soldier who was pushing backwards felt someone stepping heavily on his head. When he looked up, he saw Wei Jianxiong stepping on everyone's heads and rushing towards the South City Gate.
Just as Wei Jianxiong was running madly among the soldiers, with one foot deep and one foot shallow, a sharp arrow flew through the air and pierced his back.
Wei Jianxiong paused, his eyes widened suddenly, he looked down at the crossbow arrow that had pierced his chest, and fell straight down from mid-air.
The blood spurting from his chest splashed onto the face of the soldier who looked up.
With a "bang", Wei Jianxiong fell to the ground with his eyes open, and his body twitched a few times.
The scattered soldiers crowded around him, their pupils trembling with fear.
At this time, the magistrate Tian, who watched Wei Jianxiong being shot to death by a crossbow, limped to his knees.
“Have mercy!!!”
"Surrender, I surrender, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
With so many people blocking his way, there was no way he could escape.
They have been surrounded by rebels, and crossbows are flying everywhere in the streets. They have nowhere to escape.
Damn it!
Why did Tian Xiao, this idiot, let 100,000 soldiers crowd together on the streets? If something happened, they couldn't run away and would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Prefect Tian secretly cursed Tian Xiao for his poor deployment, which resulted in such heavy casualties.
At this time, there were three corpses pressing on Tian Xiao, covering him tightly.
He hid under the corpse, listening to Magistrate Tian's cries for mercy, his back teeth almost breaking.
But now he didn't dare to make any sound and could only pretend to be dead.
If he moves now and the rebels find out that he is not dead, they will surely rain arrows upon him and he will not be able to escape at all.
With his martial arts skills, if there was no one on the street, he could dodge the crossbow arrows by running all the way.
But now...
Tian Xiao took a deep breath slowly, raised his blood-soaked eyelids and looked at the 100,000 soldiers huddled together, his heart felt dead.
Some people are alive, but they can only be dead.
The 100,000-strong army was ambushed by the rebels as soon as they entered Guangfeng City.
If the rebels were to kill them, it would be estimated that 50,000 to 60,000 of the 100,000 soldiers would die.
Thinking of this, Tian Xiao felt very panicked.
Beijing-----He was afraid he couldn't go back...
I just hope these rebels don’t find him and let him escape.
