After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 276 Archer

Just when everyone's emotions were at their highest point, the city gates were slowly opened.

Xu Jinyi led a group of people and galloped out on horseback.

When the people on the opposite side saw that someone finally came out from this side, they immediately shouted even more excitedly. Prince Hongkang even raised the big scimitar in his hand, rushed forward quickly, and fought with Xu Jinyi.

At once, the soldiers on both sides began to shout, cheering for their own people.

The soldiers on the city wall did not dare to relax at all. From Yuxiu's perspective, she saw that they were all leaning on the parapet nervously, with the bows and arrows in their hands aimed at the heads of the people opposite them.

Yuxiu watched silently for a while, and saw that Xu Jinyi and Prince Hongkang were fighting to a standstill, with sparks flying when the two swords collided.

Since I'm here this time, it's a good opportunity to try out my own strength after the small system is upgraded.

So when she thought of this, she immediately raised the bow and arrow in her hand and aimed at the other party.

Since ancient times, this kind of "duel" between generals has been regarded as a combat etiquette.

It is not only a way to demonstrate one's strength and courage, but also a way to inspire the passion of the soldiers.

Many times, being able to chop off the enemy general's head at this time can greatly undermine the enemy's morale and achieve the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting.

At this point, the battle between the two sides had reached a fever pitch.

It can be seen that Prince Hongkang's moves are not strong, and he was able to fight Xu Jinyi to a draw only because of his great strength.

Although Xu Jinyi's moves are all killing ones, he is old and his physical strength can't sustain it for long. If the stalemate continues, he will probably be in trouble.

The opponent may have seen Xu Jinyi's shortcomings, so he began to delay, intending to exhaust his physical strength before taking action.

This is a good idea, but Yuxiu will not give him this opportunity.

After finding the right moment, the sharp arrow in her hand shot out.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Prince Hongkang was feeling proud when he heard a crisp sound of flesh being pierced. At the same time, he felt himself being thrown off the horse by a huge force.

As a sharp pain came from his chest, he closed his eyes completely without even screaming.

"The great prince!"

"The great prince!"

"I will fight with you!"

When the people on the opposite side saw their leader fall off his horse, they immediately let out a series of roars, then all shook their reins and raised their scimitars to slash towards this side.

When the arrow was shot at Prince Hongkang, Xu Jinyi took the time to glance at the city wall behind him, but he found nothing and just thought it was an arrow shot by one of his generals.

However, there was no time to worry about these things. Seeing that the people on the opposite side were about to charge over, he quickly chopped off Hongkang's head with a knife, put the head on the knife, and led his men back to the city gate.

The people on the opposite side rushed over with roars, and all they saw was the bald body of Prince Hongkang lying on the ground.

There was no way out. The leader was beheaded as soon as he went into battle, which made them all helpless. They had no intention of fighting anymore and had to carry the body on the ground back to the team. They soon retreated like a tide.

Watching the city gate slowly closing in front of him, Xu Jinyi asked someone to bring up the archer who had just shot the arrow.

However, his men went there for a long time but still couldn't find the archer.

After a thorough investigation, it turned out that no one admitted that they did it.

Xu Jinyi did not expect such a situation to happen. Although he was a little suspicious, he did not dwell on it for too long.

Being able to shoot an arrow through the opponent's chest at such a long distance, it is no exaggeration to say that he is an archer.

There are not many such people among these soldiers.

He personally led people to the city wall to check it out, and searched according to the direction the arrow flew. Finally, he found several small footprints behind a parapet.

Sure enough, there was someone here before, but looking at the size of the footprints, could this person be a young boy?

However, as far as he knew, there were no very young boys here, and it was even more impossible for them to make great contributions and then run away silently.

Anyway, no matter what, no one thought about the woman.

Not to mention that there were no women among the soldiers, even if there were, they wouldn't have such a powerful way of cutting.

The disappeared Yuxiu had already entered the space. She didn't want to appear in front of everyone so ostentatiously. She decided to walk around to understand the situation after going out, and then go to see Xu Jinyi.

The temperature here is indeed much lower than that in the capital, but Yuxiu has drunk so much spiritual spring water and now has kung fu to protect herself, so she feels okay.

But with every breath, there was a wave of white mist surrounding me.

She changed her clothes, still wearing thermal underwear and a cashmere sweater inside, and the current men's riding outfit outside.

This was what she exchanged with points from the system space. The size was just right, and with a basket hat that covered half of her face, she could get away with it easily.

Black Bear Pass is a very large city. When there is no war, caravans often pass by here.

They came all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, bringing tea, cloth, salt, porcelain and other things that were not available here.

After walking and exchanging goods along the way, when we arrived here, there were already a wide variety of goods in the caravan.

If the strong horses, cattle, sheep, specially made horn products and wool carpets owned by the Northern Di people could be brought back to the Yuan Dynasty, they would also be great things that everyone would scramble to buy.

Therefore, Black Bear Pass became a must-stop city for caravans on weekdays.

These caravans gave rise to other related industries, such as inns, restaurants, teahouses, clinics, etc., which gathered together and brought great convenience to the local people.

Yuxiu walked around the city with a swagger. Although not many people went out because of the low temperature and the war outside, Yuxiu could still see how prosperous this city was before.

However, after wandering around for a long time, she did not see her two cousins ​​from the main house of Prince Ning's Mansion, Xu Yunzhe and Xu Yunli.

She remembered that the old princess had told her that these two had been promoted to captains, so they should not be unknown people.

However, the people here are still very vigilant. She asked several people, but no one told her where the person was.

Some people almost mistook her for a spy and called for her to be arrested and sent for investigation.

Now Yuxiu didn't dare to ask around anymore and decided to go meet the great general Xu Jinyi first.
