Chapter 45 Bloody Snow

With Li Meng's order, the imperial archers on the embankment responded and evacuated the embankment.

After leaving the embankment, the imperial archers went deep into the dock and re-formed behind a coal mountain.

Li Meng hid behind a tower crane and secretly watched the enemies on the river.

The river was still very wide. The widest part of this section was several miles. The place where the group of people on the river went down to the river was at least nearly one kilometer away from the dock on the opposite bank. Even if it was not one kilometer, there was still a distance of 700 meters.

The thick snow on the river made their speed very slow. After more than ten minutes, they only walked one-third of the way.

"Withdraw?"

Looking at the empty dock in the distance, Sun Gaowu, who was moving forward on the river, said in his heart.

Looking towards the dock, at this time, the figures seen before were no longer there...

Closer, closer...

When the enemy's figure could be clearly seen on the river, behind the coal mountain, the imperial archers lined up with bows and arrows, aiming at the sky...

The imperial archers had no mercy in their hearts, the enemy was the enemy, and the order was the order.

"Swish..."

Amid the sound of bowstrings rebounding, the imperial archers all released their bowstrings.

A whistling sound suddenly broke through the air, and a rain of arrows rose from behind the coal mountain, whistling into the sky, and attacked the distant enemy in an arc...

"What is that?"

Sun Gaowu, who had been observing the dock, saw a black light rising from the dock, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

When the black light flew into the sky and fell towards this side, listening to the sudden whistling sound, Sun Gaowu immediately realized something.

His face changed, and Sun Gaowu shouted: "Lie down, lie down..."

Lie down?

Everyone looked at Sun Gaowu. What did the fortress owner mean?

In the puzzled eyes of the crowd, Sun Gaowu threw himself forward and fell to the ground in the snow.

In the sky, a rain of arrows suddenly came, falling to the ground like raindrops...

"Shh..."

"Ah..."

There were screams, and the black rain of arrows fell on the crowd...

The huge power made the iron arrows pierce the enemy's body and nailed the enemy in the snow.

Some were pierced through the body, and some were pierced through the head. Amid screams, the crowd scattered on the river fell down.

Just a few breaths later, another wave of arrows fell from the sky, breaking through the air...

Muffled groans, screams, followed closely, some iron arrows fell on the snow, and some iron arrows pierced the enemy's body.

The sudden attack made Sun Gaowu's men confused, not knowing how to react.

They thought of the roar of the fortress lord just now, and hurriedly fell to the ground...

But it was useless. The rain of arrows from the sky attacked again, hitting the snow like raindrops, and screams rang out again.

Listening to the screams in his ears, Sun Gaowu did not dare to look around. He knew that he could not passively take the beating and had to fight back.

"Shoot, shoot, kill them, everyone rush, don't stay where you are..."

Lying in the thick snow, listening to the whistling of the rain of arrows in the sky, Sun Gaowu roared angrily.

As soon as the words fell, Sun Gaowu stood up, raised the rifle in his hand, and fired at the dock.

"Bang bang..."

Flames sprayed, and the fiery red bullets suddenly attacked and swept across the dock. For a while, the river surface was rumbling with gunfire.

"Kill..."

Facing the rain of arrows, Sun Gaowu's men stood up from the snow and charged towards the dock amid bursts of roars.

Amid the rumbling gunfire, the fiery red bullets attacked the dock like raindrops.

The red bullets hit the snow, and on the coal mountain, snowflakes splashed...

The battle in front made the team behind the river stop and stay on the river to watch, with only fear in their eyes.

Shooting, shooting, what if it attracts strange beasts?

"Charge, don't stop, hurry up, rush to the dock..."

In the shouting of Sun Gaowu, everyone struggled forward, stepping on the thick snow to charge towards the dock.

The bang bang gunshots seemed dense, but in fact there were not many gunmen. Among hundreds of people, only dozens of people had guns, and a large part of these dozens of people died under the iron arrows.

Although the rifles in the hands of the dead will be picked up by the people behind, if you want to shoot, you must rush to the front.

Although it is only two hundred meters away, for the enemies on the river, every step forward brings the god of death closer to them.

When Sun Gaowu and his men rushed to less than a hundred meters from the dock, nearly a hundred people in the whole team had fallen on the snow.

At the back of the team, there were companions who fell to the ground and screaming figures.

Seeing that the enemy was less than a hundred meters away from the dock, the imperial archers behind the coal mountain on the dock scattered and used the cover on the dock to freely shoot at the enemy on the river.

For a moment, Sun Gaowu suddenly found that the rain of arrows was no longer falling from his head, but sharp arrows came from the front and hit his men accurately...

On the dock, Sun Gaowu also saw some figures.

Armor?

The distance was enough. Behind various covers, Sun Gaowu saw enemies wearing black armor and holding bows and arrows.

"Ah..."

With a scream, right beside Sun Gaowu, a black light flashed through the air and hit the body of the men next to him. The huge impact not only pierced the men's bodies, but also made them fly out and nailed on their backs on the snow.

This strike was very accurate, piercing the throat directly. His men covered the iron arrow on their throats, trembling all over, and blood gushed out of their mouths, which was very dazzling.

Looking back, this sight made Sun Gaowu very frightened.

"Ah..."

Screams came one after another, and Sun Gaowu's men who were charging at the front were hit by the enemy's iron arrows and fell to the ground.

Too slow, too slow...

The thick snow slowed their steps, and the empty river surface made them have nowhere to hide.

Although they had guns in their hands, it was difficult to hit the enemies hiding behind the bunkers.

The panic in his heart made his men lose their accuracy and fired randomly.

"Fort Lord, retreat..."

Too many people died, and the screams of their companions made Sun Gaowu's men lose the courage to fight, and there was only fear on their faces.

"We can't retreat. We will die faster if we retreat now. Charge, we will win if we charge to the dock..."

The enemy only took advantage of the cover. As long as they boarded the dock, they would not be as passive as they are now. They have guns, while the enemy only has bows and arrows. How can they be their opponents?

"Fortress Lord, be careful..."

Sun Gaowu only heard a loud roar beside him, which was a warning from his men.

This made Sun Gaowu's face change, and he subconsciously jumped sideways...

But it was too late. A black light came from the front and hit Sun Gaowu's shoulder...

The thick animal skin could not stop the iron arrow at all. Sun Gaowu's body was pierced, and the bloody arrowhead drilled out from behind his body.

"Ah..."

With a scream, Sun Gaowu's face turned pale, and the huge impact made him fall on his back in the snow.
