NOVEL NEXT Chapter 245: The Power Of Qin Nu
Glancing at Zheng Dong, Feng Xiyan smiled slightly. "General Zheng, your Seventh Princess is in our hands. Didn't General Xue tell you?"
Shaking his head in disbelief, Zheng Dong muttered, "Impossible… I clearly saw the Seventh Princess run out of the city…"
Ignoring him, Feng Xiyan turned to Sun Heng and said, "General Sun, this general has a gift for you."
When he said that, Xue Ruhong pulled Zheng Dong up and pushed him forward.
The moment Sun Heng saw him, his eyes narrowed dangerously. "Feng Xiyan, how dare you torture my Jin Empire's general!"
Feng Xiyan chuckled and responded, "General Sun, your general tried to kill me at the banquet I prepared to host your Jin Empire's envoy. This general merely defended himself against assassins. Don't you think your Jin Empire owes this general an explanation?"
After saying that, Feng Xiyan signaled Xue Ruhong with his eyes. Receiving the signal, Xue Ruhong tied Zheng Dong with a thick rope and hung him on the city wall.
Seeing this, Sun Heng became furious. "Feng Xiyan! A warrior can be killed, but not humiliated!"
As soon as he said that, Sun Heng grabbed the bow hung beside his war horse. Loading an arrow, he pulled the bowstring and aimed at Zheng Dong.
The next second, he released it without hesitation.
Swish~!
Seeing this, Feng Xiyan grabbed a Qin Nu from one of the archers and pulled the bowstring. A few seconds before the arrow struck Zheng Dong's heart, Feng Xiyan released his own.
Swish~! Crack!
The arrow flew toward Sun Heng's arrow, struck it in midair, and split it into two before stabbing into the ground at the feet of Sun Heng's war horse.
Stab!
Startled by the arrow, the warhorse panicked.
"Hie~!"
Grabbing the reins tightly, Sun Heng pulled hard and tried to calm it. A few seconds later, the horse settled down, and Sun Heng patted its mane.
Seeing this, Feng Xiyan muttered, "This Sun Heng indeed has the skills to be a supreme general. Unfortunately, his mind is too simple and too easily manipulated."
After saying that, Feng Xiyan said, "General Sun, if you want to save your second prince, seventh princess, imperial teacher, and this Zheng Dong, then you need to give something equal in value."
When Sun Heng heard this, he laughed. "Ha ha ha! Feng Xiyan! Do you think this general will be afraid of you?!"
Without waiting for Feng Xiyan's answer, Sun Heng raised his hand and ordered, "Sound the war drums!"
Following his command, a dozen soldiers began to beat the war drums at the same time.
Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum!
The sound of war drums grew faster as it echoed through the silent night.
Listening to the war drums, the blood of the Jin Army's soldiers boiled, and their morale soared.
Sensing the rise of morale, Sun Heng's eyes flickered with excitement. The moment the soldiers' morale reached its peak, he commanded, "Attack!"
The second his words fell, the vanguard general drew his sword and shouted, "Kill!"
Charging forward, the vanguard general led five thousand cavalry toward the city gate.
Closely behind them, ten thousand infantry followed. Some pushed wooden carts equipped with sharpened logs, while others carried long wooden ladders and ropes to climb the city wall.
Watching the incoming enemies, Feng Xiyan calmly ordered, "Prepare to defend the city wall."
"Yes, Great General," Xue Ruhong answered, then raised his hand. The moment the enemy's cavalry stepped into the shooting range of the Qin Nu, Xue Ruhong commanded, "Release the arrows!"
The next second, hundreds of long arrows rained down on the enemies.
Swish~! Swish~! Swish~!
Seeing the incoming arrows, the cavalry general's eyes shrank. 'Their arrows can actually reach so far?'
Without losing his composure, he calmly commanded, "Raise the shields!"
Following his command, the soldiers grabbed the shields hanging on the backs of their war horses. Raising them over their heads, they confidently charged forward.
However, their confidence was shattered the moment the Qin Nu arrows pierced through the shields and stabbed into their bodies, skewering them to the ground.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
"Ah!"
"Ugh!"
Seeing his subordinates fall one after another, pierced by the long Qin Nu arrows, the cavalry general's eyes shrank in shock.
"Impossible! How could their arrows pierce through our shields?!"
Shocked by the power of the Qin Nu bows, the cavalry general raised his head and looked toward the city wall.
The moment he saw Feng Xiyan pulling the Qin Nu, his heart sank as chills ran down his spine.
'Not good!'
Before he could react, Feng Xiyan released the arrow.
Swish~!
Seeing the incoming arrow, the cavalry general threw away his shield. Drawing his sword, he circulated his internal energy and activated his lightness skill.
A second before the arrow pierced his heart, the cavalry general kicked his war horse and soared into the air—narrowly avoiding the arrow.
From a distance, Feng Xiyan calmly reloaded the Qin Nu with three arrows. Before the cavalry general could land back on his horse, Feng Xiyan released all three at once.
Swish~! Swish~! Swish~!
Noticing the change in the air, the cavalry general looked up and saw the incoming arrows. With nothing to support him, he could only circulate his internal energy throughout his body.
Gritting his teeth, the cavalry general managed to parry the first and second arrows with his sword.
Ding! Ding!
Realizing he had no time to parry the third arrow, the cavalry general flipped his body in a circular motion and dodged it.
When he landed back on his war horse, he looked up and saw Feng Xiyan and Xue Ruhong aiming at him.
Before he could curse them, six arrows flew toward him with tremendous momentum.
Swish~! Swish~! Swish~!
This time, the cavalry general had no time to react. In the next second, he was pierced by six arrows at once.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
"Cough!"
The cavalry general spat out blood and stared in disbelief at the six arrows piercing his body. The next second, he fell backwards and died with an expression of disbelief frozen on his face.
