Huang Zhong's arrow was fast and hurried. Although it was night time, it still went straight for Guo Si who was under the light of the torch.
Just as the first arrow was released, Huang Zhong took out another arrow, pulled the bowstring, and released the arrow in one breath. The second arrow chased after the first arrow.
The second arrow was aimed at the other person under the light of the torch, Li Jue.
Huang Zhong possessed the innate skill of shooting a willow leaf from a hundred paces away. Even though it was only a glimmer of light in the night, the two arrows he fired were extremely accurate. They arrived at their targets before Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun.
"Pu!"
"Ah …"
"Pu!"
Guo Si's left chest near his collarbone was the first to be hit. Accompanied by a cry of pain, Li Jue who was at the side seemed to have felt it. He slightly tilted his body and the second arrow directly hit his left shoulder.
Both of Huang Zhong's arrows were aimed at the left side of Guo Si's chest, close to the heart. However, due to the swaying of the target, Guo Si's final position was slightly off. Even so, Guo Si still suffered a serious injury. He was struck down from his horse by Taishi Ci's halberd, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The remaining Li Jue was also injured. After witnessing Guo Si's fate, how could he be in the mood to continue fighting? The moment Zhao Yun arrived, he shouted and fled towards the east.
Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci chased after Li Jue together for a while. However, they were blocked by a large number of cavalry guards. Although they killed many of the surrounding soldiers, Li Jue was still able to escape temporarily.
Li Jue and Guo Si's troops were defeated in the day and were ambushed in the night. In addition, Li Jue and Guo Si fled while Guo Si fell off his horse. The morale of the surrounding soldiers had long collapsed.
Following Li Jue's escape, the feeling of defeat quickly spread among the soldiers. Li Jue and Guo Si's soldiers only knew that they had been defeated. However, many of them did not know where the enemy came from or what their identity was.
As Guo Jia, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong came from the west, most of Li Jue's and Guo Si's warriors were fleeing toward the east, which was the direction where Tong Pass was located.
The Xiliang army had a large number of cavalry. Even the mobility of the infantry was far superior to that of the scaled water soldiers. Therefore, after Li Jue and Guo Si fled, Guo Jia and the others did not send the scaled water soldiers to pursue them.
Li Jue and Guo Si had left behind quite a few items in their camp. Among them were all sorts of gold coins, skill books, and other items that their soldiers had dropped. There were also horses, rations, and other resources that had been left behind. It could be said that the Scaled Soldiers' harvest was not small.
After more than two hours, the tens of thousands of scaled soldiers worked together and collected a total of more than two hundred thousand gold coins. The majority of the gold coins were found in the tents of Li Jue and Guo Si. It should be the last bit of wealth that the two of them had.
Apart from the gold coins, there were also all sorts of jewelry and other valuables. There were more than fifty boxes of them. The total value was estimated to be double the amount of gold coins. Guo Jia ordered the Scaled Soldiers to move the items to the boats on the Yellow River.
Along with these valuables were Li Jue's family, a total of three hundred people, and Guo Si's family, a total of two hundred people. Most of them were concubines made up of various young women. Some of them were even dressed in palace attire. It was clear that the two of them had spent a lot of time on the path of sex.
Apart from that, the two biggest gains were the ten thousand skill books for Soldier Upgrade and the two thousand horses that they had yet to use.
Out of the ten thousand skill books, a third of them were cavalry skills of Fifth Grade and above. The two thousand horses that they had obtained did not run away as per the rules of the battlefield. They were only shown as untamed, probably because they were tied up.
Of course, the loot that Guo Si dropped when he was killed was counted separately.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun. Your subordinates Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci have successfully killed Li Jue and Guo Si's faction. They have obtained 10,000 regional storyline points … …"
First of all, the storyline points reward was convenient. Although Guo Si was not personally killed by Yang Rui, the moment he was killed, Yang Rui obtained the storyline points reward from the system.
Secondly, there were the valuable items that Guo Si had dropped. As a Level 2 Historical General, the items that Guo Si had dropped were all quite extraordinary.
"Historical General Soulstone:??? Unidentified! "
"Xiliang Half Moon Saber: Gold Weapon. Attack: 170180. 0.2% chance of breaking. Usage Requirement: 80 Martial Strength!"
"Celestial Mantra: Special Internal Mantra Skill Book. Allows user to learn special internal cultivation methods. Usage Requirement: 100% Advanced Internal Mantra Proficiency. Intelligence Requirement: 50."
"Chasing Stars and Chasing Moon Spear Technique: Level 2 Ultimate Combat Skill Book. Allows user to learn related ultimate skills. Usage Requirement: 100% Derivative Skill Proficiency. Martial Strength Requirement: 80 (Level can be increased under certain conditions)."
"Tiger Troop Talisman (Right): Special Item. Gather a pair to mobilize two thousand deathsworn hidden within the Royal Army. Pair with Tiger Troop Talisman (Left)."
"Liku Yellow Sack:??? Unidentified. "
“”
Although Guo Si was only a Level 2 historical general, he had been in control of the Royal Court with Li Jue for a long time. He still had a lot of useful items on him.
It was not Yang Rui's first time seeing the other items. For example, Historical Soulstones, Special Mantras, Special Mantras, Special Mantras, and Excellent Weapons and Equipment. Yang Rui also had a lot of them. Only the Tiger Troop Talisman (Right) and Liku Yellow Sack were items that Yang Rui had never seen before.
The Tiger Troop Command Seal (Right) was just as its name suggested. Based on its annotations, it was possible that Guo Si had planted many people in the Imperial Army. The other half of the Tiger Troop Command Seal (Left) was most likely with Li Jue.
The only thing that puzzled Yang Rui was that if Li Jue and Guo Si controlled the two thousand deathsworn in the Royal Army, why didn't they put them to use before? Perhaps they would have used them as a bargaining chip to stop Zhang Ji's success.
At the same time, he did not know if the so-called Royal Army still existed. When Liu Xie was kidnapped by Li Jue, there was no trace of the Royal Army. Therefore, it was uncertain whether the Tiger Troop Talisman could really be put to use.
As for the other item called "Liku Yellow Sack", it looked like a peanut or a small pill. Its description was a series of question marks. It needed to be identified before its description could be checked.
