Chapter 1589: Is This Guy Crazy?
Whoosh!
Xu Que pulled the trigger repeatedly, and one short arrow after another shot toward the Flying Feather Cavalry.
The three thousand troops following behind him followed suit, quickly pulling the triggers.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, countless short arrows shot out rapidly.
On the Flying Feather Cavalry side, wave after wave of cavalry fell.
Facing this overwhelming rain of arrows, the Flying Feather Cavalry had no ability to resist and could only be slaughtered one-sidedly.
After a few rounds, the battlefield was almost cleared, leaving only the Flying Feather Cavalry commander standing alone in place, at a loss.
Xu Que raised the Zhuge repeating crossbow, blew on it gently, and said deeply: "Please call me... Western Cowboy!"
On the city wall, there was silence.
All the Eastern Tang soldiers were dumbfounded.
What kind of monster weapon is this?
Fast speed, great power, and it doesn't take effort, and it can even fire continuously!
Being able to fire continuously is one thing, but how can there be so many of them?
Three thousand Zha Tian Bang repeating crossbows, firing together, actually wiped out the Flying Feather Cavalry.
This was only three thousand; what if there were thirty thousand, three hundred thousand?
Thinking of this, Hu Zhengtang felt his scalp tingle and didn't dare to think further.
If that were the case, what was there to fight in this war?
Just stand on the city wall and shoot arrows; whoever comes dies!
He looked at the center of the battlefield. At this time, except for Xu Que's three thousand troops and the soldiers behind them, only the Flying Feather Cavalry commander was left standing alone on the Qin side. He looked extremely lonely.
Although he shouldn't, Hu Zhengtang still felt a touch of sympathy in his heart.
The Flying Feather Cavalry commander was too pitiful... but His Majesty was also too terrifying, actually able to invent such a terrifying weapon!
At this time, the Flying Feather Cavalry commander finally recovered from his daze, looking at Xu Que, who was examining him with great interest, and began to tremble all over.
His Flying Feather Cavalry, which he had trained for many years, was first incorporated by the King of Qin, and now that they finally went to battle, they didn't kill a single enemy, and all his subordinates were dead?
Xu Que shouted loudly: "The one in front, are you still going to fight or not!"
The Flying Feather Cavalry commander was on the verge of tears.
What the hell is there to fight about!
Don't you see I'm the only one left?
For a time, the Flying Feather Cavalry commander stayed in the center of the battlefield, unable to leave or stay.
Leave? It's too embarrassing. He brought tens of thousands of people, and they were wiped out.
Stay? Should he charge at those three thousand troops alone?
Don't be ridiculous. He wasn't some peerless general; charging over was no different from sending himself to death.
"Come back!" Fortunately, Bai Qi's voice sounded at the right time, relieving him.
The Flying Feather Cavalry commander felt as if he had been granted amnesty, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and hurriedly ran toward the Qin army.
Bai Qi looked at Xu Que with a complex gaze, sighing in his heart: "I didn't expect the Eastern Tang monarch to not only have high martial arts but also such a sharp weapon... I underestimated him."
The next second, he widened his eyes.
He saw Xu Que raise his hand, aiming the Zhuge repeating crossbow at the Flying Feather Cavalry commander, and sneered: "Did I say you could leave?"
After speaking, he gently pulled the trigger.
Whoosh!
A sharp short arrow arrived in an instant, piercing the Flying Feather Cavalry commander's chest.
The Flying Feather Cavalry commander's body stiffened and slowly fell.
The look of disbelief still remained on his face; he seemed unable to believe that he had died here just like that.
If he could still speak, he would probably shout: "So aggrieved!"
Anyone else in this situation would probably feel extremely aggrieved.
Facing Bai Qi's gloomy gaze, Xu Que smiled triumphantly and said: "I am a person of principle. I said I would kill you all, so I must kill you all!"
Bai Qi took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
In war, mercy is the biggest mistake. He had thought that leaving the Flying Feather Cavalry commander just now was out of benevolence.
Now it seemed it was just to slap them hard in the face!
His subordinates were killed right before his eyes, yet he was powerless to do anything. For a commander, what a great humiliation!
"Pass my order! Iron Pagoda, enter the formation!"
Bai Qi roared in a low voice, and the messenger beside him waved the flag in his hand to pass the military order.
In large-scale wars, because the battlefield is too vast, it is often difficult to convey words quickly.
Therefore, at this time, one must rely on flag signals to pass instructions.
Following Bai Qi's order, the army formation gradually dispersed, revealing a massive heavy cavalry that had been hiding in the rear.
Hu Zhengtang, standing on the city wall, vaguely felt a vibration.
This vibration became more and more intense. At the end of his gaze, a cloud of dust rose among the Qin soldiers, covering the appearance of that cavalry.
A moment later, the dust dissipated, and this terrifying cavalry appeared before everyone.
The tall warhorses revealed their heads first; they looked twice as large as normal warhorses, pure black, and covered in pure black armor.
And the knights on them were completely shrouded in black armor, seamless, without any weaknesses.
The armor was painted with ferocious beasts, and the knights held long spears that were a full zhang long. Even from this far away, Hu Zhengtang could feel a murderous, bloody aura from them.
"Iron, Iron, Iron Pagoda!"
Hu Zhengtang's expression changed completely this time, and he grabbed the messenger beside him: "Quick! Quickly pass the order for His Majesty to return! The Iron Pagoda is not something they can contend with!"
Damn it! The Qin Kingdom actually mobilized the Iron Pagoda!
You know, the Iron Pagoda was the head of the Qin Kingdom's three major cavalry units, known as the invincible heavy cavalry.
When the King of Qin swept across the six states, he relied on the invincible advantage of the Iron Pagoda!
No cavalry was a match for the Iron Pagoda. With the Iron Pagoda's equipment, just one charge would be enough to easily crush Xu Que's three thousand troops.
Or even, just three thousand Iron Pagoda troops would be enough to fight against ten or even twenty times their own number of cavalry!
Rather than calling the Iron Pagoda cavalry, it's better to call them a group of walking war chariots!
The name of the Iron Pagoda spread throughout the world. Most soldiers had never seen it with their own eyes and only thought it was a legend.
Seeing it today, their minds were instantly captured by it.
Huge fear descended. The Eastern Tang soldiers were all pale, almost unable to imagine the scene of fighting against the Iron Pagoda.
I fear they would be torn to shreds like defenseless chicks!
However, Xu Que looked at this cavalry that seemed to come from hell, showing no fear, and pulled out the long sword on his back.
Clang!
The sound of the sword echoed on the battlefield. Xu Que was in high spirits and laughed loudly: "Come on, let's go together!"
This time, not only the soldiers, but even Ying Fangwu was shocked.
Is this guy crazy?
