Evil of all ages

Chapter 163 One Man Against an Army

Upon hearing the order, not only did the archers nock their arrows and draw their bows, but even the heavy crossbow companies in the army turned their crossbow carts to aim at Huang Taichu and his companion.

The crossbow cart was loaded with arrows, operated by a dozen people, with the power fully engaged, and a single hammer blow could set it off.

Hundreds of arrows were shot at Huang Taichu and his companion.

Chen Yuanzhong watched with great excitement. Ordinary arrows posed little threat to innate experts; the real threat came from the javelins.

After all, the purpose of the javelin is not only to attack cities, but also to deal with innate experts.

Even if a master of innate strength has protective true energy, the arrow will easily pierce through and pin the master to the city wall.

"Sir, be careful..."

Ying Wu, Tian Fugong, and Di Qingtian's friends with innate abilities all jumped down.

They all held shields, forming a shield wall in front of Huang Taichu and Di Qingtian.

When Huang Taichu saw this scene, he was speechless and quite helpless.

This shows how little they trust him. If they really think these things can threaten him, why would they need so many people to protect him with shields?

We're really not giving him a chance to show off, are we?

"Ding"

In an instant, countless arrows struck the shield wall.

"whoosh"

Once a volley of arrows is blocked by the shield wall, it is followed by javelins.

The javelin arrived a beat later because the heavy crossbow cart required more than a dozen people to operate, unlike an archer who could simply nock an arrow and draw his bow to fire.

"bump"

The moment the first arrow struck the shield wall.

Apart from Huang Taichu, everyone else behind the shield wall had a change in expression.

Because the shield that the arrow struck belonged to Feng Zizai.

The moment the impact rang out, Feng Zizai was thrown back a step by the force of the impact.

This created a gap in the shield wall.

Feng Zizai is at the late stage of the Innate Realm, and is the strongest among them.

If they all take a step back when faced with the arrow, how can these people possibly stop it?

Even if Feng Zizai reacts quickly and plugs the gap in the shield wall in time.

But hundreds of arrows gave them no chance.

"bump"

"..."

Seven impact sounds rang out in an instant.

Their shield wall was breached.

The immense force sent each of them flying backwards.

They all showed a hint of fear. The shield wall had been breached, and dozens of javelins were now in sight. How could they possibly defend themselves?
At that moment, they suddenly understood the difference between fighting in the martial arts world and fighting on the battlefield.

No wonder even innate experts, who are so powerful and domineering in the martial arts world, dare not venture into the army.

It turns out the army really has a lot of things that can suppress them.

When Huang Taichu saw that Di Qingtian still wanted to step forward to help his friend block the arrows, he didn't know what to say. Where did his usual cleverness go?

If we go up to block now, what will we use to block?

Use your own flesh and blood?
Are you kidding me?
Do you really think you have a protagonist's halo?

Even the main character would die if his body was pierced by more than a dozen arrows.

He raised his hand, grabbed Di Qingtian's shoulder as he was about to step forward, and threw Di Qingtian backward.

He stepped forward and easily caught the two thrown arrows as if taking something out of a bag.

Holding javelins in both hands, he remained still, his arms moving like afterimages as he deflected all the incoming javelins.

He saved everyone behind him.

"You are too weak."

Huang Taichu threw away the two javelins in his hand, turned around and looked at Feng Zi and the others, and attacked them without any politeness.

Upon hearing this, Feng Zi and the others, including Di Qingtian, all wore bitter expressions.

At this moment, they deeply realized that even at the innate level, the difference between strong and weak is so obvious.

"Go up there, all of you. Your presence here will only hinder my performance."

Huang Taichu's body emanated an unusually powerful surge of true energy, which, without allowing Di Qingtian and the others to refuse, enveloped them like a vast amount of true energy.

With a flick of his finger, Di Qingtian and the others took off and flew up to the city wall.

It landed on the city wall in a moment.

"Be careful. If you can't hold on, come right away."

Di Qingtian, having steadied himself on the city wall, looked down at Li Xunhuan.

This time, he did not ask Li Xunhuan to come up.

Because he witnessed the power of true qi in Li Xunhuan.

Honestly, he had never seen a Xiantian expert whose true energy was so abundant, like a surging ocean, capable of engulfing a person. He didn't know how Li Xunhuan had cultivated it, but for that reason alone, he chose to believe Li Xunhuan this once.

"Meow~"

Huang Taichu did not respond, but the big white dog on his shoulder responded on behalf of its master.

Chen Yuanzhong's expression was unusually grave. He never expected Li Xunhuan to be so powerful, so easily deflecting all the arrows.

Zhang Yong, standing nearby, gave him a look: See? Li Xunhuan is that powerful.

"All troops, listen to my command! Charge! Anyone who dares to retreat even half a step will be killed without mercy!"

Chen Yuanzhong, following the previous formation, ordered the soldiers who had surrendered and the cannon fodder to charge at the forefront.

They followed closely behind. He was not afraid that those in front of him would back down, because they were pushing those in front forward. Anyone who dared to retreat would die.

"kill"

The cannon fodder pushed to the front knew they had no choice, so they all went crazy.

They rushed towards the city gate.

"Come on, I love seeing flesh being torn apart by bullets."

The next second, Huang Taichu pulled out the silver Vulcan Gatling gun.

Di Qingtian and his companions on the city wall were seeing the Gatling gun for the first time, and they were all carefully examining the iron behemoth, waiting to see it perform.

Big White sat up on Huang Taichu's shoulder, propped himself up, and threw a series of Meow Meow Punches at the air in front of him.

It's as if it's saying: I can't wait any longer, hurry up, hurry up...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the silver six-pipe system began to rotate.

One breath, three thousand six hundred revolutions.

Blue flames shot out from the muzzle, and the high density of the bullets left long, crimson streaks in the air.

Long, crimson lines pierced through the charging cannon fodder.

In an instant, the fragile human body was torn apart by high-density bullets, turning into countless pieces of corpses.

In less than three breaths, a long tunnel was pierced through the cannon fodder.

The entire passage was filled with dismembered corpses.

Huang Taichu couldn't just fire single shots; he began to rotate the Vulcan Gatling gun and sweep the area.

Under the relentless onslaught of crimson lines, nothing but shattered corpses were left in their wake.

Chen Yuanzhong's face turned deathly pale upon witnessing this scene. It was the first time he had ever seen such a terrifying weapon; a human body would explode upon contact. This was truly...

Zhang Yong, standing next to him, also looked uneasy; he felt he was still too close to Li Xunhuan.

If Li Xunhuan were to aim his ultimate weapon, the Vulcan Gatling gun, at him, his body would explode, and pieces of his body would fly everywhere.

"This this……"

On the city wall, Di Qingtian and the others were all dumbfounded.

Even the well-informed Di Qingtian could not maintain his usual composure at this moment.

The visual impact of the Gatling gun was simply too shocking for him.

Hearing about something and seeing it with your own eyes are two completely different concepts.

This made it impossible for Di Qingtian to remain calm.

Not to mention them, countless spies from various factions couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene.

"No retreat allowed. Anyone who retreats will die."

"He's just one person, while there are many of us. His Vulcan Gatling gun can't cover the entire area."

“Once we get close, his Vulcan Gatling gun will be nothing but scrap metal.”

"kill"

"A hundred taels of silver will be awarded for each time you wound him."

“Cut off his arms and legs, reward him with ten thousand taels of silver, and promote him three ranks.”

"Cut off his head, and you'll be promoted five ranks..."

Chen Yuanzhong saw that the cannon fodder in front of him were terrified, each of them shouting that Li Xunhuan was a ghost or monster that had escaped from hell.

Some even regarded Li Xunhuan as a god who could save the world, and knelt down to worship him.

Enraged, he shot and killed the kneeling worshippers in front of him with an arrow, then ordered his troops to advance, forcing the cannon fodder to attack. Anyone who dared not move was to be killed.

The cannon fodder saw that if they didn't charge forward, they would be hacked to death by those behind them, so there was no way to retreat.

Only by rushing in and getting close would they have a chance to survive, in addition to the reward that Chen Yuanzhong loudly promised them.

They suddenly became even more frenzied.

"kill"

They all roared, suppressing their fear, and rushed towards Li Xunhuan.

"With so many people, one Vulcan Gatling gun simply cannot cover them all."

"Then let's use ten Vulcan Gatling guns."

Immediately, Huang Taichu conjured up nine more Gatling guns.

He used his inner energy to hold nine Gatling guns in mid-air.

They lined up side by side, facing the enemy ahead.

"My mother..."

Upon witnessing this scene, someone cursed, but the cannon fodder couldn't stop themselves.
