Wei Wujie was holding a riding whip and giving a lecture when he suddenly sensed a sharp object slicing through the air around him. Before he could react to what was happening, he saw his horse suddenly rear up in fright. He hurriedly pulled on the reins to control the startled horse, but it was already too late.
Fortunately, they were all skilled equestrians and quickly clamped their legs around the horse's belly to avoid falling off. When the retainers signaled that something had gone awry, they exchanged worried glances. Where had their master gone?
When an arrow lost its target, Li Xin looked disappointedly at Luzi and Shisan.
Before the three of them could sigh, Chuchu dropped her Divine Crossbow and jumped up to run back. The pressure she had been able to bear had reached its limit; she could no longer endure it. She didn't understand what was happening to her. It was just a different target to shoot at; why couldn't she control the direction of the arrow? She had always been accurate with her shots!
Li Xin was worried that Chuchu might be feeling despondent. Just as he stood up to chase after her, he was pulled back by Luzi. Seeing Luzi shake his head, he could only sigh deeply. "A naturally gifted talent, who would have thought it would end up like this!"
Luzi picked up the bow and crossbow that Chuchu had discarded and, as he prepared to leave, reminded her with a smile, "She is not one of our soldiers! Besides, she's just a woman; what do you expect her to do? Let the men handle men's affairs; there's no need for this."
If one of his subordinates had acted so cowardly, he would have kicked them away long ago! Though angry, Li Xin realized his distraction upon hearing Chuchu's identity. He stopped speaking and quietly sighed as he watched Luzi's departing figure.
Luzi lifted the tent flap and saw Chuchu sitting alone in a daze. He walked over and returned the weapon she had abandoned.
"Chuchu! Whether you are male or female, there is no distinction in battle. As a qualified soldier, you must first learn to respect the weapon in your hands! You must learn to protect it, even at the cost of your own life. Only then will it treat you like a brother and be ready to respond at any moment during your most dangerous times!"
Chuchu was filled with guilt; she was confident that her last shot could have accurately hit the target. If she could have shot Xingling Jun off his horse, not only would she and Luzi be safe, but everyone in the camp might have been saved as well. But! But!
Luzi urged Chuchu to take back her weapon, feigning displeasure as he commanded, "Stand up! Soldier!"
Chuchu wanted to explain but found that her mouth wouldn't open due to overwhelming nervousness; her uncontrolled hands trembled as they raised up. Struggling to calm herself, she shakily took the Divine Crossbow and stammered, "I... I'm sorry! I... I!"
Just as the Archer was about to shoot, Luzi had already seen the arrow wavering uncertainly. If it could hit the target like this, that would truly be a miracle!
No matter how arrogant everyone usually is, they can only prove that they haven't reached the point of humility yet, because true arrogance requires being forged through trials. If you have never gone through rigorous training, then your arrogance is merely false.
The so-called forging into steel is essentially about tempering and honing a person's mindset. It ensures that no matter when or where you are, even in the face of death, you can maintain a good attitude and smile calmly. There is an unwritten rule on the battlefield that has been proven time and again: it is not the enemy who brings you death, but rather you who kills yourself!
"Killing someone!? It's not that simple!"
Luzi smiled and gestured for Chuchu to sit down and talk; standing there was not a solution. "Don't feel pressured; it really doesn't matter. I know many great generals who have fought on the battlefield, including Chunshen Jun from Chu and Xingling Jun from Outside. Before they made their names, some were not even as capable as you! You are already doing very well; this has exceeded my expectations. I assure you, from now on, no one will force you to kill anymore!"
The opportunity to assassinate a target is something the opponent will only give you once. Right now, let alone Wei Wujie's Retainer, even he himself has long found a place to hide. But this will not affect the subsequent battle; everything that just happened only slightly delayed the opponent's attack time.
What follows will be an even fiercer assault. The initial intent was to kill without leaving any witnesses. Now there is an additional goal: to find and obtain that weapon capable of exceeding all current individual shooting ranges!
A heavy killing intent enveloped the surroundings, causing the sounds of animals that could be heard moments ago to suddenly vanish. This extreme sense of oppression made it hard to breathe but did not affect the conversation between the two inside the tent at all. Because these two were not arranged within the Defensive Formation, they were considered dispensable by the defenders.
Lu Zigang was curious why the battle curtain had not been drawn back, so he went out to take a look. If Wei Wujie had retreated, then he would quickly pack up and return home. Having someone to talk to at this moment was naturally a good thing.
The next attack was about to begin, and having Chuchu stay by his side made him feel much more at ease. He wasn't worried about the external defenses at all because Li Xin was there! If the defensive circle were to be breached by the enemy in one go, then who could tell me what true talent looks like!?
The best way to relieve pressure is to let time dissipate it; with proper guidance, it might forge an extraordinary warrior. However, what is most lacking right now is time because this is a battlefield that could erupt at any moment! What surprised Luzi was that Chuchu's mindset surprisingly returned to normal in such a short time. This was truly a miracle! If it were him, he would probably still be in a daze!
When Shisan saw figures beginning to move in the bushes across from them, he knew that a bloody battle was about to ensue. He nodded towards Li Xin and took a deep breath to control his heartbeat. He positioned his spear within easy reach and picked up two quivers of arrows, sitting beside Li Xin on standby.
To ensure a continuous barrage of arrows, Shisan took the initiative to assign the role of loader to Li Xin, the Archer. One quiver would be emptied, and then the second quiver would replace the first. The placement of the quivers was quite deliberate, positioned perfectly so that Li Xin could reach them without even looking.
So, never assume that great heroes have always been solitary figures; they often have many silent helpers who support them in their journey toward greatness. Those short-sighted individuals only notice the beautiful flowers while intentionally or unintentionally overlooking the vibrant green leaves that enhance their beauty.
Li Xin also noticed movement across from him, but they were still too far away to be within range. If it were Chuchu with her Divine Crossbow, this distance would be negligible, but currently, there was only one bow!
But none of that mattered now; what was important was that he still had his bow! A family heirloom skill could not be underestimated! With that thought, he reached for an arrow and turned to smile at Shisan. The two partners had worked together for quite some time and were naturally in sync. Since the enemy's attack had officially begun, it was time to start!
