Moreover, there was more than one layer of black clouds. There were layers after layers. He did not know how many layers there were.
The dark clouds covered the sky, and the arrows rained down on them continuously. Even though they were all connected together and formed a huge shield wall, they were still afraid.
As Great Qin's elite soldiers, they knew that if even a small hole was opened in their shield walls under this continuous rain of arrows, they would all be finished.
Therefore, what they could do now was to use the greatest strength they had in their lives to maintain their composure. They raised their shields high and stuck close to their comrades, not allowing the shields in their hands to have any cracks.
They did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that if they breathed too heavily, they would inadvertently cause a small crack to appear on their shields.
Everyone held their breaths as they waited for this crazy rain of arrows to arrive.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.
An earth-shattering buzz sounded.
Here it comes again.
All the shield-bearers felt their courage rising to their throats. They were waiting for their fate to come. Under this dense rain of arrows, they did not know if they could still survive. They could only silently pray to the heavens in their hearts.
However, the expected sound of arrows hitting the shields did not appear. They only felt the ground constantly shaking, and the front of the formation kept making popping sounds, like the sound of arrows burying into the soil.
But even so, no one dared to put down their shields and go over to see what was going on.
Because the buzzing sound above their heads had never stopped.
However, after half an incense stick of time had passed, the trembling of the ground slowly stopped.
At this moment, a brave shieldbearer secretly opened a gap and looked out from the small gap. However, after taking a look, the shieldbearer was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
Through the gaps in the shield wall, they could see that 30 meters away from them, the sky was filled with arrows.
It formed a black line that was 20 to 30 meters wide and more than 1,000 meters long.
These black lines were all made of arrows. There were at least a million arrows.
That kind of densely-packed density made people's hearts tremble with fear.
"Phew!"
Looking at how the black line formed, Li Xin and Meng Tian both sucked in a breath of cold air. Both of them saw a look of fear in each other's eyes.
Moreover, there was a kind of extreme shock in Li Xin's eyes.
Li Xin, who had been complacent and vowed to take down Ten Thousand Year City, suddenly became silent.
Wannian City's counterattack this time undoubtedly tore apart his face.
Even though they didn't cause any actual harm to the Qin army this time, they were clearly intimidated and threatened by the Qin army.
This time, Li Xin was not impulsive. After a long silence, he said,"Crossbow formation, or continuous crossbow formation? Meng Tian, did you see how many times they fired consecutively just now?”
Meng Tian sighed." I don't know either. I couldn't think of anything just now. I didn't see this."
Li Xin also sighed and said with some shock,"Fifty times, not one time less."
Meng Tian sucked in a breath of cold air again and said in disbelief,""How is that possible? Fifty times? Oh my god, that's impossible, right?"
Li Xin said with absolute certainty,"That's right, fifty times. I've been watching the whole process. They actually have a crossbow that can shoot fifty times consecutively.”
"Moreover, its power and penetrative power are terrifying.”
"Our frontline army has already entered their shooting range, and their arrow rain is a warning to us. If we continue to attack Ten Thousand Year City, these arrows will fall on Great Qin's elite soldiers.”
Meng Tian looked at Wannian City and said,""Old Li, it looks like we've underestimated them, but we can see that they don't want to become enemies with Great Qin.”
"Otherwise, that attack just now would have been enough to kill tens of thousands of our soldiers."
"Moreover, the people of Wannian City haven't caused any casualties to us. They only gave us a warning. Old Li, we should also choose to retreat. It's not good to continue making trouble.”
"Perhaps they will be persuaded by the envoys sent by the Imperial Court to submit to Great Qin?”
Li Xin nodded and said,"Indeed, the blunt needles of our Qin army are indeed unable to resist their crossbow formation." "However, Meng Tian, they probably don't want to be enemies with us for now. Who knows what will happen in the future? Moreover, you've personally seen how powerful they are today. If they are willing to submit to Great Qin, then everyone will be happy.”
"But what if they aren't willing? They might not even be able to negotiate with the envoy of the Imperial Court. You know their previous conditions. Do you think His Majesty will agree to their conditions? If Your Majesty is not willing to do so."
"In the future, they will be a great threat to Great Qin, and they might even be an even more terrifying opponent than the Xiongnu.”
Meng Tian agreed with Li Xin's words and said,""It's undeniable that if there's such an enemy squatting next to the door of the house, who can sleep well?”
Li Xin continued,"You people guarding the northwest border have to keep an eye on them in the future." "I will also report everything that happened today to His Majesty. If they are willing to submit, this matter will be over. If they don't, I will speak to His Majesty and destroy them at all costs.”
"Otherwise, if they slowly become stronger in the future, it's hard to guarantee that they won't have other intentions towards Great Qin. At that time, Great Qin might really be raising a tiger to invite disaster.”
Meng Tian also nodded." I understand. I will have someone keep an eye on this place in the future. I will also inform His Majesty."”
Li Xin looked at the Ten Thousand Year City with some lingering fear and said,"Retreat. This time, our Qin army has really lost a lot of face.”
"Here!"
………………
"Your Highness, they have retreated."
On the city tower of Wannian City, Qi Jiguang looked at the distant Qin army starting to retreat and said humbly to Ying Jing.
Ying Jing also saw this scene, but he was not very happy. He sighed and said,"This time, we've already revealed our sharpness. I'm afraid that Brother Zheng will specially keep an eye on Ten Thousand Year City in the future.”
