Chapter 733 One Dead, One Severely Injured!
"Ding!"
Upon seeing this, Hua Rong's expression turned solemn, but a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He retreated swiftly, and at the same time, the Big Dipper Bow sounded again, and arrows shot out like meteors, intertwining and colliding with Chen Liqing's rain of arrows in the air, producing bursts of metallic clang.
"Ding! Hua Rong's skills Tianying and Shan Gong are activated!"
Hua Rong's current base attack power is 93, his weapon is the Big Dipper Bow (+1), his warhorse is Flying White Steed (+1), his current Tianying skill effect is activated (attack power +5), and his skill Good Bow is activated (attack power +5).
Hua Rong's current combat strength has increased to 105!
Two streams of energy surged in the air, their silver-white and blue-purple hues intertwining, resembling the most dazzling fireworks in the world.
However, Chen Liqing's archery skills were truly superb; each arrow contained immense power and was shot at tricky angles, making it impossible to defend against.
Although Hua Rong tried his best, an arrow still broke through his defenses, whizzing past his shoulder and leaving a bloody mark.
Hua Rong felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he had met a true opponent.
However, this is just the beginning.
With a flick of her wrist, Chen Liqing drew the Huapi Quehuata Yuan Bow to its full draw once more, unleashing a barrage of arrows, each one carrying deadly intent.
Hua Rong's expression was solemn. He quickly adjusted his breathing, and the Big Dipper Bow sounded again. The silvery-white energy seemed to transform into an indestructible barrier, attempting to block Chen Liqing's rain of arrows.
However, Chen Liqing's archery skills were too fierce. Her arrows flew like dragons, and even though Hua Rong tried his best, there were still some that slipped through his net.
"Shameless scoundrel, don't you dare leave!"
With a sharp cry, Chen Liqing unleashed her Birch Bark Magpie Tower Bow once more, and an arrow shot through the sky like lightning, heading straight for Wang Ying.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow shot through the air, heading straight for Wang Ying at an astonishing speed.
Wang Ying was already a frightened bird and had no time to react. With a "thud," an arrow pierced his chest. His eyes widened, and he fell off his horse in disbelief.
"Brother Wang Ying!"
A cry of alarm came from the Liangshan army ranks. Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, and the others were filled with rage, but they were powerless to change the situation.
Although Wang Ying was a lecherous man, he was also a warrior of Liangshan, yet he died tragically under Chen Liqing's arrow.
Seeing this, Hua Rong felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew Wang Ying's character well, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.
He nocked an arrow again, ready to avenge Wang Ying, but Chen Liqing gave him no chance at all.
The bow in her hand, the Birch Bark Magpie Tower Bow, rang out again, and arrows rained down on Hua Rong.
Hua Rong roared and drew the Big Dipper Bow to its fullest extent once more. The silvery-white energy seemed to transform into a sharp sword, pointing directly at Chen Liqing.
However, Chen Liqing merely smiled dismissively, and the Birch Bark Magpie Tower Bow sounded again, unleashing a barrage of arrows like a meteor shower.
This time, Hua Rong held back, moving with lightning speed, maneuvering on horseback to try and dodge Chen Liqing's rain of arrows.
However, Chen Liqing's archery skills were so exquisite that her arrows seemed to have a spirit of their own, always able to accurately find Hua Rong's weaknesses.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow pierced the sky, heading straight for Hua Rong's chest.
Hua Rong reacted swiftly, dodging to the side. The arrow grazed his shoulder, leaving a trail of blood.
However, before he could catch his breath, another arrow came flying in.
"Ding!"
Hua Rong barely managed to block the attack with his bow, but felt a tremendous force coming from it, which made his tiger's mouth ache.
He had a bad feeling, but it was too late to dodge the arrows that followed.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several arrows came in succession. Hua Rong tried his best to defend himself, but two arrows still pierced through his defenses and pierced his body.
He felt a sharp pain, and blood stained his battle robe.
"Brother Yang Zhi, save me!"
In desperation, Hua Rong cried out for help. He knew that Yang Zhi beside him was indeed highly skilled in martial arts, and at this moment, only he could save his life.
Yang Zhi was about to step forward to help in the battle when he suddenly saw Hua Rong in danger and was shocked.
Without a second thought, he drew his knife, its blade gleaming coldly, and leaped forward like a tiger descending a mountain, charging towards Chen Liqing.
However, Chen Liqing's arrows followed him like a shadow, giving Yang Zhi no chance to get close.
Helpless, Yang Zhi could only swing his sword to slash at the incoming arrows. The sword flashed and the arrows collided, producing bursts of sparks.
Even so, one arrow still broke through Yang Zhi's defenses and headed straight for Hua Rong.
Yang Zhi's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He knew that if he didn't go back to defend, Hua Rong would probably really die here.
He shouted loudly, and the light of his blade suddenly surged, actually using the blade's energy to cleave through Chen Liqing's fatal attack.
At the same time, he flashed to Hua Rong's side, pulled him up, and the two retreated side by side.
"Brother Hua Rong, let's go!"
Yang Zhi said in a deep voice, "This place is not safe to stay for long; we must leave as soon as possible."
Although Hua Rong was seriously injured, he was still conscious. He immediately nodded and followed Yang Zhi to flee towards the Liangshan army formation.
Seeing this, Chen Liqing did not pursue them, but simply watched them leave coldly.
Although I have won a great victory today, the Liangshan army is still numerous and powerful. If we continue to fight, it may be disadvantageous to me.
Seeing that even the two valiant generals of Liangshan, Hua Rong and Yang Zhi, had suffered a crushing defeat, the faces of the twin brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, who were standing in front of the Liangshan army, turned deathly pale.
They commanded five thousand Liangshan infantrymen, and had originally hoped that Hua Rong and Yang Zhi could bring about a turning point, but unexpectedly the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
"Hurry! Advance and attack! We must not give the enemy a chance to regroup!"
Xie Zhen waved his steel fork impatiently, and Xie Bao, not to be outdone, gripped his steel spear and blew his horn. The stirring sound of the horn instantly spread throughout the battlefield. Upon hearing this, the many Liangshan infantrymen behind him were all invigorated, raised their spears, and charged towards the Hengzhou army opposite them.
Meanwhile, the thousand Liangshan armored cavalry brought by Hua Rong and Yang Zhi roamed around the battlefield like ghosts, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
These armored horses were all obtained by Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and others from Zhu Wen and Jiang Xiaobai. The warhorses they rode were all carefully selected, and the riders on their backs were the most elite knights in the Liangshan army.
Although their numbers were small, their fighting strength was not weak. Under the leadership of Liangshan cavalry commanders such as Yang Zhi, once they found the right opportunity, they could strike the enemy's heart like a sharp dagger.
On the opposite side, Fan Lihua's command flag was like a conductor's baton; with a gentle wave, many Hengzhou soldiers followed her rhythm and charged forward.
"kill!"
Fan Lihua let out a sharp cry, her voice clear and melodious, yet carrying boundless killing intent.
She sat upright on a tall warhorse with a glossy coat and swift hooves. The pear blossom spear in her hand was like a nimble snake, suddenly pointing at the Liangshan army in front of her.
