Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 407
Guo Kang's judgment was not wrong. Among the crowd, a few people with firearms and crossbows soon appeared, searching for targets everywhere.

"I know that our ban on armor is just a decoration. The ban on military firearms and crossbows is just a copy of the Central Plains. In fact, it cannot be implemented." Guo Kang took advantage of the time to hide and complained to Guo Ponu: Isn't it just a gang - oh, part of a little gang. How did they get so much stuff?"

"Who told this to be Dadu?" Guo Ponu didn't take it seriously: "Those who can manage power here are more or less connected with the nobles. Of course, the ban is useless."

"Hey, it's really troublesome." Guo Kang shook his head, looked to the side, and another man with a short-barreled pistol ran over, raised his hand and shot him over with an arrow.The others still haven't found the source of the attack and are still running around.

And Guo Ponu's speed was much faster than him.Guo Kang watched her for a while, and found that every time she showed her head, she would definitely kill two or three people.The only thing that affects her speed of killing enemies is probably to guard against enemy shooters, otherwise, with this average rate of fire of about one arrow per second, the enemy in front of her will be cleared by her very quickly.

Guo Kang gradually felt that this noisy environment made people less nervous.

He lived here for many years, and he often had to attend ceremonies and banquets with large numbers of people.Because the elders generally believe that he is the most eloquent person of this generation, so sometimes he has to make some polite remarks as a representative.Therefore, he no longer has stage fright in a noisy environment with many people.

But this kind of atmosphere where there are so many people on the opposite side, and they all want to kill themselves aggressively, can indeed give people quite a lot of oppression.Even though he knew that his side would not lose, he couldn't help but want to distance himself a bit, worrying about being surrounded by others.

He can persist until now, mainly because of his sense of responsibility.After all, the whole matter was proposed and planned by him himself, and the purpose of coming to the front line in person was to give other people firm determination, so that everyone could see that he wanted to seriously promote this matter, and made demands on himself.To be honest, it has nothing to do with courage.

Moreover, although the distance between the two sides is not too far, the pressure of shooting an arrow to kill the enemy is much easier than the face-to-face fighting just now.

After being able to roughly control his emotions, he felt that this kind of moderate tension was a good thing, allowing him to exert greater strength--when he first got this bow, he still felt it was relatively hard, but now it's nothing felt it.

Even if he knew it was a psychological effect, he was not in the mood to think so much when he actually picked up the bow and aimed at the enemy.

He went around the shacks in this area, constantly shifting positions.Although there are many people on the other side, they don't even know where he is.A few people came chasing him foolishly with iron forks and axes, but Guo Ponu easily shot them to death from behind.And he searched for key enemies everywhere, and when he saw someone who seemed to be directing others, he shot them with an arrow.

The advantage of this bow is that it is stronger.The arrows assigned to it were also long and thick, more than enough to pierce through those tattered armors at this distance.

Although most of the gang members are also trying their best to accumulate protective gear, what they wear is nothing more than thickened leather and rusty armor plates from unknown sources. Some people even tie wooden boards to their bodies, which can be regarded as a armor.Faced with such obstacles, of course, it is not a big problem.

Even if the boss really had regular armor, if he aimed at the weak point and shot at the weak point, he would basically be killed in one blow.Relying on this method, he shot and killed several of the most obvious targets one after another, making the enemy even more confused.

Of course, he is not the only one who has no idea.Most enemies, too, fear them.Faced with an attack, many people's first reaction is not to fight back, but to find a place to hide.

The enemies that Guo Kang encountered at various intersections would not all charge up immediately—most people would shrink back when they saw him, trying to confront him, and then calling for others to charge first.Once the leader is shot to death by Guo Kang, the rest will flee back immediately.

After the enemy was in chaos, the two knights behind the firewood pile jumped out and rushed directly into the enemy team to hack.The two of them covered each other, relying on their heavy armor, they made it impossible for a large circle of enemies to get close.

The enemy also had archers with crossbows and muskets, but this place was flat.Those bamboo huts were of such low quality that they couldn't stand people at all, so they couldn't find a place where they could look down and shoot through the crowd.If you want to attack them, you have to get as close as possible.But as long as you get close, you will be shot to death by Guo Ponu as soon as you show your head.

The only thing that can be considered high is probably the garbage mountain.It is true that some people ran over there, wanting to climb up to have a look, but when a person came, he was knocked down by the priest behind the garbage dump.After losing two people, the gang members just used their own soil to make bows and arrows, shot randomly here, and never came forward again.

Moreover, the enemy's adaptability is also very bad, and a group of people will crowd around.Either everyone huddled together to move forward, or scrambled to retreat.Not only did they fail to take advantage of the number of people, but they also hindered each other, and they couldn't even wield their weapons.Soon, they lost confidence and dispersed.

As the commanders fell to the ground one after another, most of the gang gave up the siege target and began to flee instinctively.Guo Kang looked back and forth again, wanting to confirm whether they were really about to run away.

However, he turned around a shack and just leaned out to look, when he suddenly found someone kneeling on the side of the road.Seeing Guo Kang, the man immediately raised his hand and slashed at him diagonally.

Fortunately, Guo Kang was prepared in advance, and immediately retreated, allowing him to cut through the air.The man jumped up and staggered towards him.Only then did Guo Kang discover that this was the leader who was shot down by Guo Ponu at the beginning.He was just shot by an arrow in his leg, but he was not shot to death. He didn't know when he came here, but he happened to be hit by himself.

At this distance, Guo Kang didn't have time to draw the bow to charge up. He took a few steps back again, threw the bow and arrow aside, took advantage of the opponent's limp and was slower than him, stretched out his hand and pulled out the gun, pointed it at the man's chest, and pulled it directly. trigger.

After a while, nothing happened.

Not to mention Guo Kang, even the leader was stunned.But both of them quickly realized that Guo Kang threw the pistol and hit him directly in the face.Not to mention anything else, the handle was really heavy and hard, and it smashed the head with a scream.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Kang drew out his sword and rushed forward to stab him.And the other party also showed extremely high resilience at the critical moment of life and death, endured the pain and swung the knife again, wanting to fight Guo Kang to die together.

Guo Kang turned sideways quickly, letting his knife slash on the thick chest and abdomen armor.The man didn't know if he was stimulated, but the force was extremely strong. Although there was no harm, he was still pulled back a step.And Guo Kang's sword was also stuck on the iron armor on his chest, and he pushed it hard, but he still couldn't get in, so he had to take advantage of the situation to withdraw it.

However, the opponent was even more vicious than him, and regardless of the injured leg, he rushed over again, leaning over and slashing at the unarmored calf.Guo Kang retreated again, and he swung his knife again.It seemed to be hit on the head, and the movements became faster and faster, leaving no chance to react.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed from the side, pushing Guo Kang aside.He looked quickly, and saw Guo Ponu stretched out his arm, and swung the blow with his armor.The leader turned his wrist, wanting to continue slashing, but Guo Ponu charged forward, and thrust his sword obliquely into his throat, the tip of the sword pierced the entire neck, revealing a long section behind his back.

The leader's knife fell to the ground with a bang, his body twitched, and he fell to his knees.Guo Ponu raised his foot and kicked him in front of his chest, drew out his sword, swung his backhand violently at his neck, and his head flew out.

At the end of the street, a group of gangsters were about to rush this way. Seeing this scene, they immediately dispersed, not knowing where they went.

"You have practiced with dad for so many years, what have you been practicing?" Guo Ponu dragged Guo Kang over and scolded, "How come you met a lame gangster and was crushed and beaten?"

"I, I don't know?" Guo Kang was still in a daze, but after hearing what she said, he hurried to pick up his gun.

The thing flew not far away, Guo Kang picked it up, wiped the ash off it, skillfully opened the lid on the gunpowder pool, took a closer look, and immediately shouted: "Oh, why did the matchlock go out!"

"I asked you what you practiced with your father, and you told me that the matchlock was extinguished." Guo Ponu said speechlessly, "Have you been practicing rubbing matchlocks for so many years? Haven't you practiced well yet?"

"This, this, this is an accident." Guo Kang was really embarrassed this time, so he had to explain: "I don't know, why the chain fell off at a critical moment..."

"Hey—" Guo Ponu scratched his head and sighed again.

She looked back to the opposite side of the garbage mountain, and saw that the gang members had lost the will to persevere and began to flee separately.Everyone followed the plan and did not chase after him.

They carefully searched the surrounding area, picked up a few gangsters who were trying to hide here, and then returned to the warehouse to prepare for the next step.

　In our world without magic and internal power, the fastest archery record is 4.9 seconds for 10 arrows and 0.67 seconds for three arrows.

　　(It is said that the method of holding three arrows in your hand is the fastest shooting method. The experience of ancient people and modern people is the same. If there are too many arrows, it will slow down.)
