Chapter 317: Mutual decision in the dark night
Wang and Gui are indeed in serious trouble.
Facing an invisible enemy with excellent archery skills, the lives of Wang Gui and Wang Laosan suddenly hung in the balance.
Although both of them have some skills, after all, they have been on the battlefield and killed people, but the skills on the battlefield are not the same as the skills of fighting people in a dark alley. They are both risking their lives, but it is much more thrilling in the dark alley.
Leaning against the corner, Wang Gui and Wang Laosan looked at each other with ugly faces.
"Have you seen that person's position clearly?" Wang Laosan asked.
"The position is meaningless. If he fires an arrow and immediately changes his position and hides, we can only be blind." Wang Gui said calmly.
"Then we can only fight with him until the Marquis sends troops to help..." Wang Laosan took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Only by being calm can he cope with all the variables on the battlefield.
"I heard that the Marquis has a separate battalion of sharpshooters under his command. Although there are only a few dozen people, all of them have extraordinary shooting skills, no worse than the man in the alley. If the Marquis can send out that battalion of sharpshooters,
That person is dead." Wang Laosan sneered.
Wang Gui also sneered, but it was directed at Wang Laosan: "Think about how we can survive first. It will take at least half an hour for the Marquis to send troops here. During this half hour, we not only have to survive, but we also have to kill that person."
Hold him back and prevent him from escaping, do you think we can do it?"
"It's very difficult, as difficult as climbing to the sky... That guy's archery skills are too good, we can't get close."
Wang Gui grinned and showed a perverted smile: "Then give it a try."
The word "try" is a declaration of risking death. They are all people with their heads tied to their belts. Their abilities may be different, but their determination to die is no worse than anyone else's.
He signaled Wang Laosan to throw a stone into the alley, and then Wang Gui held his breath and held a stone in his hand. After taking a few deep breaths, Wang Laosan suddenly reached out and threw a stone at the earthen wall in the alley.
At the same time as it hit the earthen wall, an arrow came as promised and was nailed to the wall tremblingly.
At the same time, Wang Gui struck out like lightning and hit a stone hard in the direction of the arrow.
There was a muffled bang. Wang Gui's technique in the dark was certainly not that accurate. The stone should have only hit the door frame, window frame or the like.
However, this noise also startled the marksman in the dark. When Wang Laosan threw stones again to test, the marksman in the dark did not react at all.
Wang Gui chuckled and suddenly said loudly: "You bastard with his head and tail exposed, please shoot again. The three-legged cat's archery skills really make you feel like you have become a master. You have the guts to put down your bow and fight with me."
If you win, I'll let you go."
There was still no movement in the darkness. The opponent was obviously a very calm person and would not be easily angered. He was just hiding in the darkness waiting for the opportunity to kill with one strike.
Seeing that he could not provoke the opponent, Wang Gui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He blinked and motioned to Wang Laosan, making an outflanking gesture, silently telling him to let Wang Laosan attract the enemy's attention here, while he would follow another route.
Surround the alley and take the initiative to engage the enemy.
Wang Laosan nodded, and Wang Gui chuckled, revealing two rows of white teeth in the night, then turned around and disappeared into the criss-crossing alleys.
After Wang Gui left, Wang Laosan would throw a stone into the alley every once in a while, or curse and provoke loudly. The enemy hiding in the dark seemed to be quite arrogant, and would occasionally respond after throwing the stone.
, he had already seen that the thing that made the noise was a bluff, and the arrows were all shot towards the place where Wang Laosan made the sound.
Fortunately, Wang Laosan hid at the corner of the earth wall and was not hit by the arrow. Even so, Wang Laosan was frightened and had a layer of sweat on his back.
Wang Gui sneaked silently in the dark alley, like a cat walking on the wall, calm and quiet.
In the silent residential complex, Wang Gui held his breath, stopping every few steps, listening carefully to the sound of the enemy's bowstring being drawn, distinguishing the direction of the sound, and adjusting his route at any time.
When he heard the last sound of the bow string being pulled apart, he was outside the wall of a dome-shaped earth house deep in a dark alley. As Wang Laosan's unpleasant curses came from the distance, Wang Gui also heard clearly
The creaking sound of a bowstring being drawn came from the roof of the dome-shaped mud house.
Wang Gui felt happy and was sure that the enemy was on the roof of this earthen house!
In the distance, Wang Laosan's cursing voice could be faintly heard. At such a tense moment, Wang Gui wanted to laugh.
Wang Laosan is such a bastard, the scolding is so unpleasant. Not only did he greet all the eighteen generations of his ancestors, but he also ruined his female ancestors in a terrible way, including their conjoined positions and how much it cost each time he accepted a benefactor.
Everything was said so clearly that Wang Gui had a picture in his mind...
The bowstring on the roof made a soft creaking sound. Wang Gui shuddered and silently sneaked towards the house.
When the bowstring was released and the arrow shot out with a whooshing sound, Wang Gui dwarfed and shot out like an arrow. He climbed up and down and squatted down. He landed silently in the yard, with his back against the wall.
, people slowly approached the earthen house from the shadows in the pitch black.
However, the other party is a master after all. A master is naturally very sensitive to aura and has a magical sixth sense. Although Wang Gui did not make any sound, the master still vaguely sensed uneasiness and felt that the aura around him had changed slightly.
, especially under the wall of the yard, that dark place where you can't see anything clearly with your eyesight, but the feeling is no longer the same.
The master didn't hesitate, immediately locked onto a certain point on the wall, and fired an arrow with a whooshing sound.
I have to say that the master's sixth sense is amazing. The arrow missed Wang Gui, but it was very close to him. It was less than a foot to his right. The arrow penetrated half a foot into the wall. Wang Gui
I broke out in a cold sweat and dared not move again.
Now it's a bet. In this dark night, the master just shoots the arrow based on his feeling and does not find his specific position.
There was deathly silence all around. The master made no sound, and Wang Gui also made no sound. Wang Laosan's provocative curses in the distance had no effect. The master's attention was now entirely focused on the courtyard where he was.
The two sides were in a silent stalemate, competing for patience. Whoever moves first loses.
It was late autumn, and the climate in the desert was polarized. It was hot during the day and cold at night. Wang Gui stood under the wall where the temperature dropped sharply, but the sweat on his face and body kept dripping down, and his heartbeat was so fast that it seemed to rush out of his skin.
But he knew he couldn't move, because he could clearly hear the enemy on the roof pulling back the string of his bow, and the direction of the arrow was facing his position. The slightest sound could bring a reminder from the King of Hell.
One is the hunter and the other is the prey. The hunter wants to get rid of the prey, and the prey wants to bite the hunter back. Both sides are calmly competing for patience.
However, there is still a gap between the two sides who are enemies of each other. Wang Gui is only a personal guard. He is determined to die, but his ability to kill enemies is still a little behind that of a master.
Finally, Wang Gui couldn't bear it anymore.
Being so exposed under the wall and in a stalemate with each other, Wang Gui felt that his physical strength was very high. Competing for patience was also a kind of physical work. Wang Gui could no longer bear it.
Quietly lowering his body, Wang Gui put a stone in the palm of his hand, held his breath, and then very slowly moved toward the left side of the wall inch by inch, like in slow motion in a movie...
Just as he was about to approach the window sill of the earthen house, the enemy on the roof suddenly fired an arrow. This time the arrow hit Wang Gui's abdomen very accurately. Apparently after forbearing, the marksman made a correct judgment.
Hearing the buzzing sound of the bowstring being released, Wang Gui was startled. He twisted his body subconsciously, and then his left side of his waist went numb. Before he could feel the pain, Wang Gui smashed the stone in his hand, and at the same time, his body rolled.
Under the eaves of the earthen house, he was out of sight of the sharpshooter.
Looking down at his waist, he saw an arrow stuck in his waist. Blood had stained the clothes around his waist. Wang Gui grinned and laughed silently, feeling that his physical strength was disappearing quickly as the blood flowed out...
…………
In the camp outside the city, Gu Qing was woken up by Han Jie. He looked very unhappy about getting up and was glaring at the guards in front of him.
"Wang Gui and Wang Laosan are staying in the city to look for the murderer?" Gu Qing frowned and said coldly: "This is nonsense! They are masters, especially with the cover of night and the ability to shoot from long distances. How can Wang Gui and the others
Don’t you know how much the weight is?”
The guard who came back to report the news lowered his head and said: "The villain tried to persuade me, but Wang Gui didn't listen. He said that he would do his best for the Marquis..."
Gu Qing took a deep breath.
These personal guards under his command are indeed reckless, but they are also loyal. Even Wang Gui, Li Longji's spy, is loyal to him. It sounds contradictory, but Wang Gui is such a contradictory person. His pain, his
The choice can only be made by him alone.
"Han Jie, pass my military order and immediately dispatch a thousand men into the city. The opponent is a marksman. Let's bring our shields. Since he shows his head tonight, we will kill him!" Gu Qing said coldly with murderous intent in his eyes.
Han Jie cupped his fists and accepted the order.
Gu Qing stopped him again: "Also, call the marksman battalion over to let them see the majesty of the marksmen in our army. He is not the only one who has the ability to hurt people with hidden arrows."
A low horn sounded in the camp, and torches were lit outside the resting tents. The generals put on their armor, cursed and kicked the slow-moving sergeants, and ordered them to put on their armor and march in line. The war horses were neighing uneasily.
He shook his big head impatiently.
Gu Qing also put on his armor. Without any unnecessary nonsense, he mounted his horse and ordered: "Let's go!"
Under the eaves of a residential building in the city, the wound on Wang Gui's waist became more and more painful and the blood flowed more and more. His lips had gradually lost their color and were as pale as his face.
Although he was out of sight of the marksman, Wang Gui did not dare to relax. A marksman was not only a marksman, but he could also kill enemies without his bow and arrow. However, Wang Gui had lost all his physical strength.
"If the Marquis's reinforcements don't come, tonight will be the anniversary of my death..." Wang Gui murmured with his eyes closed.
"One more arrow... I can still take one more arrow. Let's take this arrow and bet on whether I can bite off a piece of his flesh!" Wang Gui's eyes showed a fierce look.
Covering his mouth and nose with one hand, he held the arrow stuck in his waist with the other hand, and pulled it out with a little force. Wang Gui's eyes widened with anger, and he let out a muffled groan. Big beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks. The arrow from his waist had been pulled out.
Down.
