Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba
Chapter 5: One Arrow, Three Kills!
"Archers, prepare!"
Just then, commands from commanders came from all over the city walls.
Lin Feng's eyes were sharp as a hawk's as he estimated the distance and wind speed.
His sniping training in his previous life gave him an almost instinctive understanding of long-range shooting.
At this moment, he subdued his aura, and his whole being seemed to merge with the bow and arrow in his hand.
Three hundred steps, two hundred and eighty steps, two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps...
The northern barbarian enemy forces were getting closer and closer, and their ferocious faces and rough leather armor could be clearly seen.
The enemy's vanguard, a dark mass, numbered approximately five thousand.
"put!"
At a command, thousands of arrows were unleashed from the city wall, swarming towards the enemy like locusts.
The shields of the Northern Barbarian army's front ranks were raised, blocking most of the arrows, but many still fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
Lin Feng remained still, waiting.
Wait for the enemy to enter their optimal firing range, wait for the moment when their formation is most concentrated.
One hundred steps... right now!
Lin Feng's bow was drawn as full as a moon, and the arrow flew like a shooting star!
"Whoosh!"
The arrow shot through the air with a piercing whistle.
The next moment, a shocking scene unfolded—
The arrow actually pierced through the wooden shield of the first row of shield bearers, and with its momentum undiminished, it went on to pierce the chests of two more Northern Barbarian soldiers behind it!
A triple kill with one arrow!
"Great!" Wang Dahu shouted excitedly.
The surrounding soldiers also saw this scene and turned to look.
Lin Feng remained expressionless and nocked the arrow again.
This time, he targeted the engineers carrying ladders on their shoulders.
The ladder was heavy, requiring four people to carry it, and it was a densely packed target.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow flew out again, piercing precisely through the bodies of two engineers, and then hitting a third.
Another triple kill with one arrow!
"What kind of archery is this?!" Zhang Ergou was stunned.
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Shan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He had originally hoped that Lin Feng and his group would fail to hold the breach, giving him the opportunity to punish them, but unexpectedly...
Lin Feng didn't stop; he continued to draw his bow, each arrow precisely calculated.
The fourth arrow pierced the gap in the shield, killing two eagles with one shot.
The fifth arrow was aimed at the northern barbarian archers. After piercing one man's throat, it pierced another man's shoulder.
The sixth arrow, the seventh arrow...
In just a quarter of an hour, Lin Feng shot twenty armor-piercing arrows, each hitting its mark, and at the very least, each arrow struck two eagles.
A rough estimate suggests that more than forty Northern Barbarian soldiers have died from his arrows!
Just then, a northern barbarian centurion noticed Lin Feng's threat and pointed at him, shouting a few words in barbarian language.
In an instant, more than a dozen arrows shot towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng rolled behind the battlements, and arrows clattered and landed where he had just stood.
"Xiaofeng, be careful!" Wang Dahu said urgently.
Lin Feng nodded and observed through the gaps in the battlements that the northern barbarian centurion was directing his archers to concentrate their fire in his direction.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, suddenly emerged from behind the battlements, drew his bow, aimed, and released the arrow in one smooth motion!
The arrow drew an arc in the air, bypassed the shield, and accurately struck the open mouth of the northern barbarian centurion, exiting through the back of his neck!
He fell backward, causing a commotion among the surrounding Northern Barbarian soldiers.
"Amazing! Absolutely fucking amazing!"
Zhang Ergou shouted excitedly, "Xiaofeng! Shoot those guys pushing the ram! Yes! Those bastards!"
Lin Feng's outstanding performance quickly attracted attention.
On the city wall, Zhang Liao, the defending general who was overseeing the battle, had sharp eyes and instantly caught sight of the unusual arrow trajectory in the southeast corner and the local chaos in the enemy's army.
"Who fired from the southeast corner? How could it be so powerful and accurate?"
The guard peered out and could vaguely see a young figure behind the stone wall repeatedly drawing and drawing a hard bow: "Reporting to the general, it seems to be a new face, and he should be using that old hard bow from the armory."
"That hard bow with a draw weight of 150 jin? Continuous firing?" Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Quickly, find out this person's identity!"
At the same time, behind the Northern Barbarian army formation, the vanguard commander Getu, clad in iron armor and wearing a wolf helmet, also noticed the anomaly at the southeast corner of the city wall.
He looked in the direction the arrows came from and saw the simple stone wall and the figure behind it frequently drawing his bow.
"Where are the archers from the Eagle Falcon Squad? Suppress that archer from the Qian Army!"
At the command of General Getu, more than fifty archers, handpicked from the Northern Barbarian army, turned and launched a barrage of arrows at the gap in the southeast corner.
Several of them were using more powerful composite bows, which had a longer range and heavier arrows!
"Raise your shields! Take cover!"
Lin Feng keenly sensed the enemy archer's movement at the very beginning, shouted a warning, and at the same time pressed Wang Dahu, who was peeking out from beside him, down.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A dense rain of arrows poured down, clanging and clattering against the stone walls, city bricks, and shields, creating a terrifying spectacle.
A heavy arrow was even deeply embedded in the stone wall in front of Lin Feng, its fletching still trembling.
"what!"
Zhang Ergou was a little slow to dodge, and a stray arrow grazed his shoulder, taking away a piece of flesh, causing blood to flow freely.
Another veteran was also shot in the arm, but fortunately the arrow did not penetrate deeply.
"Squat down! Don't show your heads!" Wang Dahu roared through gritted teeth, holding up a tattered shield he had picked up to protect his injured brother.
Lin Feng hid behind the stone wall, calmly assessing the density and rhythm of the arrow rain.
The Northern Barbarians' intention was clear: to suppress the enemy with a rain of arrows, creating an opportunity for their infantry to approach and climb.
Sure enough, through the gap, he saw a large number of Northern Barbarian soldiers, under the cover of shields, carrying seven or eight siege ladders and howling as they charged over.
Furthermore, a team of about twenty elite soldiers, clad in chainmail and some even inlaid with iron plates, mingled among the ordinary infantry and charged towards the breach. They must have been the vanguard of the Northern Barbarians!
The long-range suppression phase is about to end, and the brutal melee is just around the corner.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, temporarily put down the hard bow, and drew the standard ring-pommel sword from his waist.
"Godfather! Uncle Er Gou! Prepare for battle!"
Lin Feng gave a low shout, his eyes sharp as knives: "The cloud ladder is about to be erected!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than several heavy impacts resounded.
The three ladders were almost simultaneously placed against the stone wall and the intact crenellations on both sides of the city wall.
The ferocious northern barbarian soldiers, with curved swords in their mouths, began to climb frantically upwards!
"Rolling stones! Hammering logs!"
The battle instantly turned into close-quarters combat!
The first Northern Barbarian soldier had just emerged from the top of the stone wall when Lin Feng leaped up like a cheetah!
He didn't use any fancy moves; his ring-pommel sword slashed diagonally upwards with lightning speed!
The northern barbarian soldier raised his sword to block, but felt a tremendous force coming from him. His tiger's mouth split open, the curved sword was deflected, and the cold blade had already sliced across his neck in the next moment!
Lin Feng didn't stop, sidestepping the spear thrust by another barbarian soldier, and grabbed the spear shaft with his left hand like an iron clamp, pulling hard.
The barbarian soldier cried out as he was pulled forward, and Lin Feng thrust his right-hand sword forward, precisely piercing the soldier's heart through a gap in his leather armor!
The third one, the fourth one...
Lin Feng brought his close-combat skills from his previous life to the extreme, with simple, ruthless, efficient and deadly moves!
He makes full use of the terrain and his explosive power and speed, often deciding life and death in a single move.
He wielded his sword with the gleam of snow at times, and his fists and feet with the force of hammers. He moved nimbly through the narrow passages of the city wall and on the top of the stone wall, and wherever he went, the northern barbarian soldiers fell like wheat being harvested.
He fought with increasing ferocity, his sword strikes becoming more and more fierce, and his movements more and more agile. He managed to block most of the attacks from this section of the stone wall all by himself!
Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou, and others felt much less pressure.
Watching Lin Feng hack and slash through the enemy ranks like a god of war, everyone's blood boiled and their morale soared!
"Xiaofeng! Well done!"
"Kill! Kill all these barbarians!"
Zhang Liao, who was on the city wall, was also paying attention to the fierce battle at the southeast corner of the stone wall.
Especially the fierceness of that young figure.
Just then, the guard returned and reported, "General! That archer's name is Lin Feng. He has been in the army for less than half a year, and he was the one who single-handedly built that stone wall!"
"Building a wall single-handedly? So incredibly brave? And a master archer too?"
Zhang Liao's face showed an expression of disbelief mixed with extreme admiration: "This boy is truly a gem in the rough!"
"Send an order to dispatch a squad of personal guards to reinforce the southeast corner immediately. Protect this man at all costs!"
At the same time, Getu, the vanguard commander of the Northern Barbarians, was furious when he saw that his elite troops had been blocked by a single person at the stone wall and suffered heavy casualties!
"You bunch of useless trash! Get out of the way! Catapults! Aim at that section of stone wall and smash it!"
Getu roared and, disregarding the possibility of accidentally injuring his own soldiers who were climbing, ordered the catapults to attack!
In the distance, three catapults behind the Northern Barbarian army formation slowly adjusted their direction, the winches emitting a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound, and the counterweight box continued to rise.
"put!"
With a loud shout from the slinger, the trigger was pulled.
The ammunition pouch, aimed at the top of the wall, was pulled up by the downward force of the counterweight box and "whoosh"ed upwards.
The offensive has begun!
