Chapter 1696
Use Wan's bow to kill Wan's people!
The seven men were well-trained, their steps were in unison, even the arc of their bows was the same.
Seven bows were raised at the same time, and the buzzing sound of the taut bowstrings combined into one sound.
The candlelight streamed across their knuckles as they pulled the strings.
The seven men suddenly changed their formation. The first two knelt and shot, the middle three shot horizontally, and the last two actually flew into the air, completing the action of nodding the arrow and pulling the string in mid-air.
Seven arrows left the bow at the same time, but strangely collided with each other during flight, eventually turning into seven streams of light with different trajectories, nailing the guards who tried to raise their shields to the pillars of the porch.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air was like the howling of ghosts and wolves, and each arrow accurately pierced the throat of a guard.
The leading man raised his pair of cold star-like eyes. It was Ma Chuyang.
The candlelight illuminated his angular jaw and the sneer on his lips, "Back then, you Wan people used a rain of arrows to slaughter my women and children in the north wing. Tonight..."
He pulled out three arrows with his backhand, "I'll let you taste the feeling of being shot in the throat with one arrow."
When the three arrows were fired at once, an eagle's cry suddenly came from the highest watchtower in the prefectural governor's mansion.
That was clearly the cry of a living creature, but it strangely matched the rhythm of the arrow breaking through the air.
When the last guard fell to the ground, Tang Xinghe stepped out of the inner room over the corpse.
The so-called strict guarding of the prefectural government office is nothing more than this.
Vulnerable!
Nothing to fear!
There were chaotic footsteps coming from the distance, a new group of guards were coming.
Tang Xinghe calmly took out a fire starter from his arms, and with a light twist of his fingertips, flames suddenly shot up.
He lit the special rocket in his hand. The oilcloth wrapped around the arrow was soaked with resin and saltpeter powder.
It ignites immediately when it encounters fire, bursting into a ball of strange bluish-white flame.
"Whoosh-"
The moment the rocket left the bow, the entire arrow suddenly disintegrated in mid-air, turning into several streams of light with flame tails.
"The first fire is for our northern wing commander, General Wang Yulun!"
Whoosh!
The arrow leaves the string again!
Fires are everywhere!
"The second fire is for the souls of the thousands of soldiers who died on the northern wing!"
The eight North Wing men fired the rockets in their hands in all directions.
"The third fire is to commemorate the people of the North Wing who died in vain!"
The governor's office was ablaze. This was a fire sacrifice dedicated to the people of Beiyi.
A stick of incense later, a group of Wan soldiers with their faces painted black came down from the city gate of Guicheng.
They came over with a dead body on a cart.
The leader, Tang Xinghe, was out of breath and spoke incoherently, "Hurry, the governor's office has been attacked, and the governor requires you to go and provide support immediately."
In his hand he held the governor's necklace.
The prefect never leaves this thing.
The leading official under the city wall was named Rong He, who was both Wu Le's deputy general and his younger brother.
There was no more doubt at this point, and he immediately mobilized troops to go to the prefect's office for support.
Before leaving, he asked, "What's on this cart?"
"A corpse." Tang Xinghe was still panting. "A Beiyi man dressed in the uniform of a Wan soldier, pretended to be a Wan soldier to assassinate the governor, but was killed by the governor. The governor asked us to hang the corpse on the city wall to give the Beiyi man a warning."
"Okay." Rong He no longer suspected any trickery and ordered the guards to let Tang Xinghe and others pass, allowing them to push the carts to the city wall.
