Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2551 Zhao Zilong's Divine Archery Slays Gao Ming, Yuan Sheng at His End
Unlike other generals, Xuanwu was not so bloodthirsty. When he encountered these people, his initial intention was to persuade them to surrender.

Ultimately, these individuals and the Jin army did not actually have any deep-seated hatred for each other.

If it were someone like Yuan Sheng, he wouldn't have even bothered to ask.

However, Xuanwu thought he was being kind, but the other party not only didn't appreciate it, but also started cursing him, and the curses were very harsh, insulting almost every one of Xuanwu's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Then, Xuanwu naturally had no need to hold back.

Given his calm demeanor, he might not get very angry about it, but you can't expect him to continue smiling and joking with you.

Compared to other generals, he may not have been as bloodthirsty, but he was definitely not a saint either.

Good advice is hard to refuse a damned devil. Since these people are determined to die, there's no need for him to indulge them.

After twenty rounds, everyone except Tai Luan, the strongest among them, had fallen.

Just as Tai Luan was about to fall into Xuanwu's hands, Yuan Sheng suddenly appeared.

"General Yuan, Xuanwu is injured. We can attack him with full force to aggravate his injury!" Gao Ming and Gao Jue, who also charged out at the same time, reminded him.

"Ding! The combined skill 'Insightful Eyes and Ears' of Gao Ming and Gao Jue has been activated. If you observe carefully, you can find the opponent's weakness and suppress their strength or seal their skills. The larger the weakness you find, the stronger the effect."

The current sealed Xuanwu Sacred Beast skill effect one: Xuanwu's martial power is reduced to…

Xuanwu is currently injured, which makes him more vulnerable in the eyes of these two. The effect of the same combination skill is now vastly different from before.

"Ding! Xuanwu Tianling skill effect four activated, absolute defense, (Spirit Serpent) turtle shell reflection, when affected by any skill effect that is not conducive to oneself (including but not limited to negative suppression, sealing...), half of the effect can be reflected back to the enemy. (Spirit Turtle) is immune to all negative suppression effects on itself."

The current seal grants the combined effects of the "High-Level Skill" and "High-Level Awareness Skill," with the "Clear Eyes and Ears" effect accounting for half of the skill's effect.

"Ding! The combined skill 'Insightful Eyes and Ears' of Gao Ming and Gao Jue has its effect halved. When used to support other generals in battle, it can increase the martial prowess of other generals by +4, up to a maximum of three generals. If there are more than three generals, the martial prowess increases by +3, but the maximum number of generals cannot exceed six."

Yuan Sheng's combat strength -2, current combat strength has decreased to...

Great Phoenix's martial prowess -2, current martial prowess reduced to...

"nature!"

Yuan Sheng nodded and brandished his sword to attack.

However, Xuanwu did not fight him at all at this time, and retreated directly into the encirclement of the soldiers behind him.

As Xuanwu retreated into the ranks of the soldiers behind him, a large number of archers began to draw their bows, which frightened Yuan Sheng so much that he also pushed himself into the protection of the soldiers behind him.

In such a confined space, facing a volley of archers is no joke.

"Xuanwu, you coward, do you dare to fight me?" Yuan Sheng, hiding behind his shield, cursed angrily.

"This idiot, it's one thing for him to be an idiot, but he really thinks I'm an idiot!"

Xuanwu, one of the soldiers, muttered something under his breath, then ordered the archers behind him to fire their arrows.

If he hadn't been injured, he would have just fought with Yuan Sheng.

However, he is still injured, and Yuan Sheng has two advisors behind him. It would be crazy for Xuanwu to fight him under these circumstances.

"Yuan Sheng, if you're so eager to fight, how about I, Zhao Zilong, give you a duel?"

Suddenly, shouts of killing came from behind them. Yuan Sheng and the others were horrified when they heard the shouts.

What surprised them was not Zhao Zilong's appearance, but the direction from which he appeared.

The enemy appeared from behind them, and now Zhao Zilong and Xuanwu, one in front and one behind, completely blocked their group of several hundred people in the middle of the street. From then on, they had nowhere to run.

"Fire arrows!"

Unlike Zhao Zilong, who was determined to fight this battle, Xuanwu was not the kind of person who was willing to fight fiercely.

Therefore, his only command was to fire arrows continuously.

This isn't because Xuanwu looked down on Zhao Zilong; Zhao Zilong was indeed no match for Yuan Sheng.

If it really comes down to a fight, he'll have to go!
However, given his current injuries, he can only exert 70% of his combat power.

"Enough! Let's fire all the arrows together!"

Seeing Xuanwu's state, Zhao Zilong had no choice but to give the order!
With archers on both sides blocking the middle and firing volleys, the Han soldiers trapped in the middle fell like wheat being harvested.

Only a few dozen soldiers equipped with shields, under the command of a few generals, managed to form a circular shield formation, thus creating a defensive array.

"middle!"

As archers on both sides continued to fire, Zhao Zilong drew his bow and shot an arrow that struck Gao Ming in the ankle.

Although Gao Ming didn't know which soldier he had snatched the shield from, their shields were all small round shields, not the kind of square shields that were taller than a person.

Even with multiple shields stacked together, small round shields like these would inevitably leave gaps when facing a barrage of arrows.

Therefore, it was through this gap that Zhao Zilong shot an arrow into Gao Ming's ankle.

Gao Ming, in pain, fell to the ground, and the shield that had been assembled from the shields now had a large hole in it.

Arrows fired by more than a dozen Jin archers poured into the hole, and several Han soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

Even Zhao Zilong followed up with an arrow, shooting Gao Ming, who had just fallen to the ground, through the gap.

This triggered a chain reaction, causing a large section of the shield formation to collapse. If Yuan Sheng hadn't picked up two shields in time and held them up, the shield formation would have crumbled completely.

"You lot, learn from General Zilong and shoot at the cracks in the ground!" Xuanwu said, mimicking his example.

No matter how the circular shields are arranged in a shield formation, there will always be gaps in the layer closest to the ground.

Even if the archers behind him weren't god-like archers like Hou Yi, Li Guang, or Hua Rong, they couldn't be perfect, could they? Wouldn't they hit the target seven or eight times out of ten?
Keep in mind, they weren't that far apart, only a dozen or so steps!

If they can't even guarantee accuracy at such close range, then what kind of archers are they?

However, Gao Jue and his men reacted quickly. Since the shields couldn't stop them, they piled up a layer of soldiers' corpses at their feet.

In this way, they will put up a final, desperate resistance!

"Use rockets to burn them alive!"

Xuanwu was clearly determined to kill them here today, and soon reacted.

This is why Xuanwu doesn't have any oil with him right now. If he did have oil, he would simply use it.

However, rockets serve the same purpose, only they are a little slower than oil.

After all, there were corpses everywhere around them, especially a layer of corpses piled up under their shield formation.

These can all be ignited by rockets.

Even their shields were just wooden shields with an added layer of iron.
