System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Accompanied by a sharp "whoosh" sound breaking through the air, a sharp arrow flashing with cold light shot out with a whistling sound of breaking through the wind.

On top of the tall buildings, there were nearly a thousand young and strong men holding bows and crossbows and shooting one after another.

Arrows continued to whiz downwards, the bowstrings vibrated and the arrows surged.

A rain of arrows fell, and soldiers fell to the ground from time to time.

For a while, screams were heard everywhere.

They could never have imagined that there were so many bows and crossbows in Xujiabao.

On the high buildings of the fortress, young men would occasionally throw ropes down, and bundles of arrows would be tied to the ropes by the young men below.

"Quick, raise your shield!"

"Don't stop, archer!"

Zhang Kai rode on his warhorse and constantly commanded his soldiers.

Boom boom——

At this moment, the fortress suddenly made a series of rumbling sounds.

Several stones the size of human heads were thrown out of the fortress.

"Stone!"

"Run!"

Boom——

Several stones flew down and hit the ground heavily, startling many soldiers and causing them to dodge.

These rocks did not cause any casualties, but they greatly undermined the morale of the soldiers.

"Fuck!"

"What kind of place is this? Why is there everything here?"

Zhang Kai looked at the flying boulder and exclaimed in surprise.

He had never seen a fortress like it.

It would have been fine if there were only a thousand bows and crossbows, but there were also several catapults.

Although the catapult did not cause any casualties, this kind of thing was not used to kill people, but to intimidate and disrupt the enemy's formation.

"middle--"

Xu Chu stared at Zhang Kai, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

After aiming for a long time, the bowstring was released.

call out--

The arrow shot out.

puff--

"what!!"

"It hurts me too!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

"Follow me to inform General Zhang Xun!"

Zhang Kai covered his left arm, pulled his horse and ran away.

"Run away!!"

"Retreat quickly, brothers, retreat quickly!"

When Yuan's soldiers saw Zhang Kai running away, they immediately fled in disarray.

The rain of arrows continued, leaving hundreds of corpses outside Xujiabao.

"Zhong Kang's a brilliant shooter!"

A young man from Xujiabao praised Xu Chu beside him.

"What the hell is a sharpshooter? I'm aiming for the head."

"Damn it! He actually got away!"

Xu Chu cursed with hatred on his face.

"Second brother, that's enough. Let's go back to the fortress. We need to have a good discussion."

Xu Ding said to Xu Chu on the next floor.

"Ah."

Xu Chu nodded.

All of a sudden, the young and strong men of Xujiabao who were originally on the high-rise building went downstairs one after another, leaving only dozens of them on the upper floors to keep watch and scout, always on guard against the possible return of the enemy troops.

Everyone returned to the main hall of the Xu family, and several old men sat in the first row and then sat down.

"Bo'an, Zhongkang, tell me the situation."

An old man in the lead looked at the two young men and asked.

"Uncle, the invaders this time are probably the troops of the princes, not the bandits from the past."

"As the enemy army retreated, the leading general was shot by an arrow and had to retreat."

Xu Ding told the situation truthfully.

"This is going to be difficult."

"The princes' troops and horses should be Yuan Shu."

"Only Yuan Shu frequently plundered the people's money and food to finance his army."

"If they retreat this time, more troops will arrive soon."

"With just the Xu Family Castle, I'm afraid we can withstand it two or three times, but what about four or five times?"

"They will only send more troops to encircle and suppress us."

Xu Ze said with a serious expression, stroking his beard.

"What should I do?"

"Yuan Shu is vindictive, alas."

Everyone looked sad, and obviously had a bad premonition.

"I'm not afraid of shit. At worst, I can just fight them."

Xu Chu looked angry and shouted loudly.

"No!"

"You can certainly fight to the death, but what about the women and children behind you?"

Xu Ze quickly reached out to stop him.

"Pass the order down, the entire clan evacuates."

"Young men protected women and children and left Xujiabao."

Xu Ze didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately decided to abandon Xujiabao.

"what!"

"withdraw?"

"Where are we retreating to?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, obviously not expecting it to come to this.

"If we don't retreat, are we just going to wait for them to attack us?"

"When Xujiabao is breached, the elderly, the weak, women and children will all be bullied and killed by the enemy."

Xu Ze slammed the crutch in his hand onto the ground and shouted loudly.
