The Emperor is Above

Chapter 241: Doctor, you may have never seen what it means to be free!
"Shut down the engine!"

"Raise your shield!"

While the little fox was giving the warning, Chai Yong issued orders one after another.

Whether it was the bright torches or the charcoal fire in the bonfire, they were all completely extinguished in an instant, leaving everything in sight in darkness.

The end of November is the time of the new moon and the dark moon. The waning moon disappears, leaving only the stars in the sky. The ground is so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you. Eliminating the firelight can better conceal yourself.

However, the assassin in the dark was obviously well prepared and did not launch an attack hastily. Instead, he used dense bows and arrows for long-range attacks.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

The sharp arrows whistled and hit the giant shields and carriages madly. The sound of wooden boards and shields breaking was so deafening.

Many of Bao's retainers and private soldiers were facing the chariot camp at Solitary Hill. Although they were all well-trained soldiers, they did not have time to quickly complete the defense in the darkness. Many of them were shot by dense arrows and let out dull cries of pain.

On the contrary, the people in Guqiu not only have the chariot camp as a cover for protection, but also have thick giant shields for protection, and they are well-equipped with armor, so they don't have to worry about getting injured at all.

"Humph, I've been waiting for them to show up!"

Qing Yi snorted coldly and pulled Bao Bu Tong to the back of his sled. Then he took out the fourth-grade crocodile bow that he had prepared long ago, pulled out three rune arrows with one hand, and shot them out in a row.

"what--"

"what--"

"what--"

The clanging of bowstrings was so terrifying that a series of screams suddenly came from the darkness in the distance.

Not only did these three rune arrows kill only three people, the bowstring made from fourth-grade crocodile tendons brought a huge impact force and could shoot through more than a dozen people in one go.

These ferocious arrows caused so many casualties in an instant. Even the enemies in the dark could not help but panic. They did not expect the bows and arrows to be so powerful. The frequency and density of archery were affected to a certain extent.

However, the strong ones among the enemies also began to attack with rune arrows at this time. Even giant shields and vehicles could not completely block these arrows.

"what--"

The Bao family retainers and private army who were exposed on the outside were attacked by rune arrows, and many of them were killed and injured, and they kept screaming.

Bao Bu Tong said angrily: "How hateful! In order to kill me, they took out such a valuable rune arrow as if it were free. Don't let me know who it is!"

"Hehe, Doctor, you may have never seen what it means to be free of charge!"

I don't know when Tu Shigu also appeared in a fourth-grade crocodile dragon armor. With a round body and a round face, he smiled and gestured to Bao Bu Tong, "Just watch the show from now on!"

Qing Yi's voice was heard in the darkness, very calmly: "Uncle Chai, Brother Gongsun, have the militia continue to defend and cover. All the private soldiers pick up their longbows, switch to rune burst arrows, and target 200 to 500 steps ahead, and fire intensively and comprehensively!"

While Qing Yi was giving the order, he continued to shoot arrows with his bow, causing screams to be heard in the darkness, which not only hit the enemy's morale and confidence, but also revealed the approximate location of the enemy in the dark. After receiving the order, the 40 private soldiers of Guqiu, under the cover of the giant shields of more than 100 militiamen, took out the eighth-grade crocodile bows and the rune-blasting arrows made by the lord himself, and shot them out together.

"Om-"

Just like a swarm of hornets attacking, the private army shot out rune arrows one after another, followed by a series of violent explosions at a distance of two to five hundred steps.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

Thunderous explosions and countless shattered rune arrow fragments pierced through enemies one by one in the bursting flames, blood spurted out, and screams were endless.

This shocking scene not only stunned the assassins who attacked in the dark, but also shocked Bao's retainers and private army.

Bao Bu Tong stared at the lavish counterattack of the private army of Gu Qiu in disbelief. If each of the forty private soldiers had thirty rune arrows, that would be a huge expense.

He asked with envy and shock, "Brother Yi, your private army is wasting rune arrows like this, don't tell me they don't charge for it, it's too extravagant?"

"Doctor, you have a good eye. These rune arrows are indeed free! I made them on my own time!" Qing Yi seized the opportunity to shoot and kill a powerful assassin hiding in the darkness while chatting and laughing.

"Even if it's a rune arrow you made yourself, with such powerful power, ten of them can be sold for a pound of gold. I'm afraid you've wasted a hundred pounds of gold in this short time!"

Bao Bu Tong looked at the Gu Qiu private army and saw no sign of stopping shooting arrows. He couldn't help but feel distressed for Qing Yi's waste. At the same time, he was extremely shocked. Forty people meant at least one thousand two hundred rune arrows, which meant at least one hundred and twenty kilograms of gold.

Qing Yi smiled faintly while shooting arrows and said, "Master, you are wrong. Although a large number of rune arrows are used in this battle, they can prevent my men from losing a single man and strike the enemy with the greatest force. This is the greatest effect of rune arrows."

When Chai Yong ordered to stop shooting, the enemy in the dark had been scared away by the fierce rune arrows of the Guqiu private army.

The little fox even discovered that there were several other waves of hidden assassins in the distance. After seeing this process, they also chose to retreat quietly, and no more assassins appeared until dawn.

The powerful performance of Guqiu's private army and militia shocked everyone. No vassal had ever possessed a fully-qualified private army.

Even the Third Division, the Royal Guards, and the City Guards do not have such strength, and the worst militiamen of Guqiu Company are all at the ninth-grade strongman level, and most of the forty private soldiers are at the eighth-grade warrior level.

After Bao Bu Tong sighed in shock for a few moments, he slowly paced on the battlefield last night, escorted by a dozen soldiers. The bodies of the assassins who were shot yesterday disappeared completely, and were taken away by the other party before leaving to avoid exposing their identities.

If it weren't for the countless traces of rune arrow explosions on the ground, as well as the bloodstains frozen by the cold night, everyone would have thought that last night was just a dream.

Suddenly, an armored soldier picked up a piece of something in the snow. Bao Bu Tong carefully observed the armor piece and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the group of enemies who attacked us last night must be the dead soldiers under the command of some noble officials in the capital.

Brother Yi, look, this scale is not made of exotic animal leather, nor is it made of copper or iron. Instead, it is made of ironwood produced in northern Xinjiang. You can tell from the fine growth rings that it grows extremely slowly.

This kind of ironwood not only has greater defensive power than ordinary copper and iron, but is also nearly 60% lighter. It is an extremely excellent armor in the Xing State.

Only the Shangqing, Yaqing and the six Shaoqing have the manpower, material and financial resources to process ironwood armor plates. They really went to great lengths to kill me!"
