Gou becomes a boss in the fairy world.

Chapter 1473: Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World (XVII)
Accompanied by Ye Xiangming, Wang Chen climbed the city wall of Qing'an County.

The county magistrate looked several years older, with a lot more white hair on his head, and he looked haggard and tired.

Before the bandit army attacked, he had already begun to recruit soldiers and organize city defense, working hard day and night.

Although Ye Xiangming himself is very skilled in martial arts, time is merciless after all.

Looking at the endless bandit camp outside the city, he couldn't help but sigh: "You should leave."

Earlier, Ye Xiangming had discussed with Wang Chen and asked the latter to take his family away from Qing'an County and go to the south to avoid the disaster.

But Wang Chen declined.

The natural disaster and severe drought that occurred in the Kingdom of Nanli were obviously the impact of the great catastrophe in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Even if I run to another place, can I avoid the disaster?

The answer is obviously no!

Wang Chen shook his head: "Daier doesn't want to leave either."

Ye Xiangming smiled bitterly and said, "Then we can only stay here and fight to the death."

He knew that his son-in-law was no ordinary scholar, and his strength and cultivation were probably not weaker than his own.

Woo~
As soon as Ye Xiangming finished speaking, a low horn sounded suddenly from outside the city.

The bandit army is moving!

Tens of thousands of bandits do not engage in production and rely entirely on looting for a living. It is impossible for them to besiege the county town for a long time, so this attack was inevitable.

Thousands of refugees were seen carrying simple wooden ladders and rushing towards the city wall.

Most of them were half-naked, and the weapons in their hands were mostly wooden spears or bamboo guns, without any siege equipment.

But these bandits who looked like beggars, each with their scarlet eyes wide open, walked with firm steps and a ferocious look on their face!

"Get ready, let go!"

When the vanguard of the refugees approached within a hundred steps of the city wall, the archers stationed on the wall raised their longbows and shot a neat rain of arrows in an instant.

Sharp arrows flew across the sky and landed among the bandits.

Since there were too many bandits, almost no arrows missed their target. The sharp arrows ruthlessly penetrated the thin bodies of these people and nailed them to the ground alive.

Large groups of bandits fell to the ground one after another.

Screams and wails rang out one after another.

However, the blood and tragic casualties of their companions did not scare away the other bandits around them.

Instead, they howled like wild beasts and rushed towards the city wall at a faster speed!
Each of them bravely faced the rain of arrows without fear of death.

Despite the best efforts of the archers on the city walls, their numbers were too small to intercept the tens of thousands of ant thieves.

When a large number of bandits rushed to the city wall and began to set up ladders, with Ye Xiangming's order, countless boulders and wooden logs fell.

The bandits under the city suffered heavy casualties, and many were smashed into meat paste!

Some of the bandits suddenly came to their senses, dropped their weapons and ran away in fear.

However, what greeted them was the blade of the bandit army's supervisory team.

The dress of these bandits supervising the battle is obviously different from that of ordinary bandits. Their equipment is also much better, and their attacks are extremely ruthless.

So, under the instigation of the supervision team, a large number of bandits rushed to the bottom of the city wall.

Their purpose was obvious: to use human lives to deplete the defenders' resources - the number of arrows, boulders and wooden stakes was always limited.

The lives of the bandits are worthless, and killing a large number of them can actually save food!

A long and brutal offensive and defensive battle thus began.

Although Wang Chen was not a member of the garrison, now that he had arrived at the city wall, there was no reason for him to stand idly by.

And Wang Chen also brought a strong bow.

This five-stone bow was specially customized by him, using the finest materials and costing nearly one hundred taels of silver.

Wang Chen used this bow for hunting in the past, but now he uses it to protect his family.

He was targeting the elite hidden among the bandits.

The huge armies of bandits are all organized by someone. There are always powerful people among the grassroots. Once they have the opportunity, they will rise up and change dynasties.

The leader of the bandits must also have a group of loyal and elite subordinates to help him conquer the world.

Although these elite troops deliberately dressed up as ordinary refugees and blended in with the crowd to boost morale, their presence could not escape Wang Chen's eyes.

Every shot is accurate!

One arrow after another shot into the bandits, ruthlessly taking away one life after another.

Although the elite among these bandits are basically skilled in martial arts and are extremely vigilant, once they are targeted by Wang Chen, there is no chance of escape.

The most terrifying thing is that an ordinary archer is considered a strong one if he can shoot more than ten or twenty arrows in a row.

Not only did Wang Chen's arrows never miss their target, his arms seemed to know no fatigue. He shot one arrow after another, and in a very short time, he shot and killed more than thirty elite bandits!

Such killing efficiency was truly terrifying, and it also had a great deterrent effect on other elite bandits.

Suddenly, a figure jumped high up from the middle of the bandits, and in an instant he climbed up the three-meter-high city wall with a ladder.

A bright blade light slashed towards Wang Chen's throat with lightning speed!

"careful!"

Ye Xiangming, who was near Wang Chen, sensed the danger and roared while rushing towards the attacker.

However, before the sword could hit Wang Chen, this expert among the bandits flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily into the crowd under the city wall.

There was a big hole in his chest, he was deader than dead!

This bandit master was actually very powerful, but unfortunately he met Wang Chen.

Even if Wang Chen sealed all his cultivation, his martial arts strength was still at the grandmaster level.

In fact, even if Qing'an County was breached by the bandit army, it would be no problem for Wang Chen to break out with his wives and concubines.

This is an important reason why he stayed.

Seeing that Wang Chen was safe and sound, Ye Xiangming breathed a sigh of relief.

The look he gave Wang Chen also became complicated.

Because the county magistrate discovered that he knew too little about Wang Chen.

Woo! Woo! Woo~
The horn sounded again, spreading from the bandit camp to inside and outside the city walls.

The bandits who were frantically attacking the city suddenly felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They turned around and fled in all directions, completely ignoring the arrows from behind.

Many bandits even trampled on each other while fleeing, causing more casualties.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers guarding the city wall cheered in unison.

Although the bandits' first attack was fierce, it did not cause much casualties to the defenders except for consuming a lot of supplies.

If the enemy's level remains at this level, Qing'an County can be completely defended!
Everyone naturally felt happy.

However, the leaders of Qing'an County were not so optimistic, because they knew that this was just the beginning.
