C277

Even before the people from Upper Nether were able to calm down from their panic, they heard a deafening roar of battle. The sudden shouts and shouts of their horses and their grandeur frightened the soldiers.

The Great Zheng soldiers were surrounded by leaves on their horses and seemed to be one with the green forest. It was dazzling when they ran.

On the other hand, General Shang You's reaction was extremely fast. He looked over and shouted, "Zheng chose the crossbow and still dares to charge. This is courting death. Archers, fire the arrows!"

When the archers heard this, they drew their bows. Hundreds of arrows were rapidly approaching the army that was charging at them.

"Dodge!"

Gu Lin shouted, only to see all the soldiers holding onto the saddle with one hand, their bodies dodging to the side, while their backs were all exposed.

His horse was covered in heavy armor. When the arrow hit the armor, it fell to the ground without any strength left in it.

This was the riding skill that Hua Ruge had the soldiers practice previously. Fortunately, they were elites and could be mastered very quickly.

The Upper Nether Soldiers were stunned. Before they could react, these people had already sat back on their horses. They faced the upper Nether Soldiers and pulled the trigger of the crossbow that was already loaded with good arrows.

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

Sounds of arrows piercing the air rang out incessantly. The soldiers of Upper Nether Realm brandished their weapons to block the arrows. However, they were not few in number. After a round of rain of arrows, more than ten people were injured.

After the first row of archers had finished shooting their arrows, they did not charge towards the army of Upper Nether Realm. Instead, they chose to attack from both sides.

The row of people split up and walked to the side. When Shang You realized this, he raised his head and realized that he was facing the second row of archers from the Zheng team.

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

Another sound of air being torn apart could be heard. The enemy was stunned by the charge and could only passively block the incoming crossbow.

The second platoon of crossbowmen followed the first platoon's tail and ran in opposite directions, revealing the third platoon of crossbowmen.

Because the crossbow bolts had been fired with good quality strings in advance, their firing speed was very fast. Upper Nether Realm hadn't been able to come up with any countermeasures. They had already experienced the baptism of three rows of archers, injuring more than a hundred people.

Hua Ruge divided the one thousand man team into ten rows, one hundred men in a row, and after shooting the arrows, they would run in two different directions, their efficiency was extremely fast, and could be considered as an arrow formation.

The leader of Upper Nether Realm was finally worried. He blocked the arrows of the fourth row of soldiers as he shouted, "Charge! If this goes on, we will all die!"

When the soldier heard this, his eyes turned red. He obeyed the order and charged into the rain of arrows.

This was because archers were most afraid of close combat. As long as these people opened up a hole, then the archers would no longer have any advantage over the soldiers wielding long spears.

The soldiers of Upper Nether Realm suffered more casualties from charging. However, before they could even get close, the fourth row of archers had already finished firing their arrows. They once again headed towards the two sides.

Most of the soldiers in Upper Nether were hit by the arrows. When they finally made it to the fourth row, the men in the fifth row ran away. The ones facing them were the Zheng soldiers with crossbows in their hands.

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

Sky Splitting was a continuous process. The soldiers of Upper Nether Realm could only feel like spitting out blood. What kind of ghost array was this? It simply did not give anyone any hope.

The high-ranking officer from Upper Nether Realm saw through the opening and said, "Charge to both sides. They don't have any arrows in their hands, kill them in close range!"

Therefore, the soldiers of Upper Nether Realm gave up on the middle and walked towards both sides.

However, it was not as simple as they thought. Without the protection of the soldiers with the arrows and the following row of soldiers, when the rain of arrows came, no one was able to get close to the soldiers of the Great Zheng.

One of the Upper Nether soldiers originally wanted to kill an archer who had retreated after firing an arrow, but all he saw was the other party's mocking smile. Before he could get angry, an arrow shot out from his chest and he could only die with hatred.

The high-ranking officer of Upper Nether Realm was driven mad because the archers of the Zheng were already in the seventh row. Hundreds of soldiers of the Upper Nether Realm had died. He still could not think of any way. If this went on, he would lose for sure.

"Everyone, defend. After the tenth row, it will be time for us to counterattack." Finally he gave the order.0

The Upper Nether Soldiers gave up their charge and switched to defense.

The soldiers cursed as they used their weapons to block the arrows. If you gave the order to defend earlier, how could so many people have died in the charge?

However, at this time, no one dared to say anything. After all, shaking the morale of the army meant death.

Hua Ruge looked down at the soldiers of Upper Nether Realm who were laughing bitterly, and was still shaking their legs leisurely.

She had read about this in the Military Strategy in her previous life. It would be perfect for an equal number of fights.

However, this was a test of the soldier's character. The soldier in her hands was the best one, so she didn't have to worry about adapting to the problem.

The ten rows of crossbows quickly finished firing their arrows. However, the people in the last row did not retreat to the sides. Instead, they stood in front of the soldiers of Upper Nether Realm.

The soldiers of Upper Nether Realm didn't know what was going on with them, but they had sharp eyes and said, "We've been surrounded."

The high-ranking officer immediately looked over when he heard this. He broke out in a cold sweat as less than six hundred of them were surrounded by a thousand archers of the great Zheng.

Many of the soldiers didn't know how it had turned out like this, but the high-ranking officer knew immediately.

Before, these people would always run to the two sides of the mountain after shooting the arrows. If these people pushed forward in rows, they would be able to completely surround the army.

After a period of time, these people also reloaded. They all raised their crossbows and aimed it at the soldiers at the center, as if they were hunters aiming for a lamb that was waiting to be slaughtered.

The faces of the soldiers of Upper Nether Realm were extremely ugly. To be able to send out these men to battle meant that these archers were very skilled. Each of them had one arrow, so how could they possibly have the opportunity to charge?

However, these people didn't directly take action. They only surrounded him, creating a feeling of fear within those people that were far above them.

"Hua Ruge, you despicable person, what ability do you have to hide in the shadows?" The high-ranking officer from Upper Nether Realm shouted loudly, his voice mixed with unwillingness and anger.

"Why do you sycophants like to say that people are despicable?" Hua Ruge leaped down from the tree branch and looked at Shang You's General with ridicule.

"What ability do you have to play such a small trick? If you have the ability, then let's fight in broad daylight." General Shang You taunted.

Hua Ruge laughed, spitting out the leaf in his mouth, and said: "Whether or not I have the ability, it is not up to you to say.

"Hua Ruge, don't go too far." A cold, pitch-black light flashed in the eyes of General Shang You, as cold as the edge of a blade.

"It was you who provoked me twice from the beginning to the end, Great Zheng. Now that you've lost, are you saying that I've gone too far?" Hua Ruge ignored his gaze and asked smilingly, "Do you guys even care about face?"

"You're courting death!" An explosive shout suddenly sounded out from the Upper Nether Realm army. However, it didn't come from the Upper Nether Realm general. Rather, it came from a skinny soldier that had been following him the entire time.

Hua Ruge's pupils contracted tightly when he heard her.
