Chapter 142 - One Arrow(2/2)
Following the order, the Imperial Guards holding up their shields all pushed over, leaving only the shields supported in place by wooden frames.
Zhou Lang raised his crossbow and aimed it at the shield in front of him. The scene became quiet again. Countless gazes condensed like hot sunlight, almost making people roast. Coupled with the suffocating silence, the people beside him
The Imperial Guard also looked a little nervous and couldn't help but look at this young man.
Has this young man ever been watched by so many people? Can he still shoot an arrow?
The Forbidden Army's gaze fell on Liu Lang's arm, his sharp eyes trying to detect the slightest tremor in it.
"Oh, madam, madam..."
The woman's scream seemed to ring in Liu Lang's ears again. He seemed to have returned to the Yudaiqiao house that day, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang who was standing next to the grass target and reached out to untie her hair, her black hair falling like a waterfall.
A pear was placed on her head.
Crisp green pears, long black hair, big bright eyes, fair cheeks, and a dark flowing skirt and blouse form an interesting picture in the sunlight.
"Come on, cum." Cheng Jiaoniang said, raising her finger to point to the pear on her head.
The maids screamed in surprise.
Saturday Lang was also shocked.
What a joke!
"Don't you dare or can't you?" the girl asked with a slight smile.
The words and smile hit the young man's heart at the same time. He snorted and raised his hand to draw the bow.
"Oh, Mr. Zhou, you can't do that." Banqin shouted in fright, and stood up in front of Cheng Jiaoniang with open hands.
"Banqin, can't you trust me or Mr. Zhou?" Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Banqin turned his head.
"Madam, let me come, let me come," she said urgently.
"It's better for you to come than for me to come." Cheng Jiaoniang said, raising her hand to signal her to get out of the way.
Banqin bit her lower lip and turned to look at Liulang. Liulang stepped forward, raised his bow, and looked arrogant without any intention of saying a word.
These two people are actually very stubborn.
Banqin had no choice but to stand away reluctantly.
"Come on." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Liulang's hand loosened the bowstring. Accompanied by the screams of the girls, the pear on Cheng Jiaoniang's head was pierced by an arrow and flew out.
Banqin patted her heart and hurried forward, wiping the few drops of juice splashed on her face with a handkerchief.
"Okay, okay, stop playing, stop playing," she said repeatedly.
Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head and stretched out her hand.
"Bring it again," she said.
Banqin stared.
"I'm not playing. I don't have time to play." Cheng Jiaoniang said, 'I don't know how to play either.'
Don’t have time to play…can’t play…
Why do these words sound so sad?
I took another pear from the fruit plate on the side and watched Cheng Jiaoniang put it on her shoulder.
It wasn't over yet, Cheng Jiaoniang watched Liu Lang reaching out to hold down the pear and slowly retreating, and Ban Qin and the maids' hearts were lifted.
"Madam..." everyone couldn't help shouting.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps...
Liu Lang looked at the woman, counting silently in his heart, and finally she stopped beside the wall.
"The family is too small." Cheng Jiaoniang said, stretching out one hand to push her hair to one side, and pointing to the pear on her shoulder with the other hand, smiling slightly, "Come on."
Zhou Lang bit his lower lip and looked at her with squinted eyes. Under the sunlight, the green pear was beside the girl's face. Her hair was pushed to the other side, exposing her ears. They were small and fair. There were no other women wearing earrings.
, there should be no ear piercings.
Since she was a child, who would have thought of piercing her ears?
Who would be willing to scratch her skin like this... It's not okay at all and I can't bear to...
Zhou Lang loosened his bowstring.
There was a buzzing sound, and then there was another clanging sound.
A shield shook seventy paces away.
This is not over yet. The young man lowered the crossbow, bent down and stepped on it, then raised the crossbow again.
The sound was buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, banging, banging, banging, hitting the eardrums of everyone present.
"Such a fast winding speed..." one of the Imperial Guards murmured.
"It's so easy to wind up..." Another forbidden soldier also murmured.
What does this mean? It means saving time. What does time mean on the battlefield? It means life.
Many times, life and death are in an instant, victory or defeat is also in an instant.
After shooting ten arrows in a row, Zhou Lang put down the crossbow in his hand. The Imperial Army who had been staring at him saw the young man's breathing and the shaking of his arms as expected.
But who the hell cares about this now!
Everyone's eyes turned to the shield seventy steps away.
Some Imperial Guards ran over.
"Penetrate!" he shouted loudly, raised a shield, pointed it at the emperor's display on the city gate, and then turned it towards the people around him.
The people were buzzing for cheers, but before the cheers could start, shields were raised one after another.
"Penetrate!"
"Penetrate!"
"Penetrate!"
Accompanied by shouts, shields were raised one by one, and those who wanted to cheer stopped shouting. Those standing closest were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. They knew exactly what this meant, and they all looked shocked.
There was no shouting, and although the people who followed were not sure what it meant, they stopped shouting.
There was silence in front of the huge crowd of people at the city gate, as if they were just waiting for the moment when the emperor came to the city gate.
At this time, the emperor stood at the city gate.
The people were silent, and the shields with obvious holes were lifted side by side, forming a strange scene.
"Think about it, what would it be like if you saw a row or even two rows or a military formation of soldiers holding such crossbows in front of you."
What kind of scene is that.
Crossbow arrows shot out from the crossbows held by the soldiers in formation, and rain of arrows splashed towards the enemy in the west. They did not hit the shields and armor like before, but pierced through them.
Pierce!
Pierce!
Flesh and blood are flying everywhere, howling and wailing all over the field, overwhelming and invincible, what a heavy army of Western thieves, what a heavy cavalry of Western thieves!
Hahahahaha, a leader of the imperial army standing next to the emperor suddenly burst into laughter.
No one immediately thought of scolding him for his disgrace, but with the laughter, his scalp went numb, and a burning heat instantly spread throughout his body.
Chapter completed!
