Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#251 - misfortune

A volley of bullets rained down, and the cavalry on the opposite side was instantly thrown into chaos, horses and riders tumbling together in a bloody mess.

Most of them had their heads directly pierced by Liang Yue, blood and gore splattering everywhere. Only a few, sensing the danger, immediately turned their horses and fled into the woods beside the road.

Against the penetrating power of the bullets, the Yuan Mongol cavalry's cotton armor and saucer helmets were utterly useless. Often, a single bullet could pierce through four or five people!

Faced with such powerful firearms, the cavalry, originally the absolute power on the battlefield, was reduced to mere targets and points of reference. The infantry, who were jogging forward behind them, were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks, their formation scattered.

Under the shouts of their commanding officers, they finally raised their shields and, in a battle formation, chanted slogans as they slowly advanced.

It looked impressive, but in this state, the army formation clearly no longer possessed the advantage of rapid support.

Meanwhile, the experts from the Six Major Sects, who had already arrived behind Liang Yue, obviously had no intention of playing a positional war with the enemy army.

......

"Young brother, what kind of weapon is that in your hand? It looks quite unique, and its power is immense!"

"Indeed, young brother, could you introduce it to us? My Mount Hua Sect will surely reward you handsomely afterward!"

"Go that way, closer to the city wall. With your skills, you should be able to leave the city in less than fifteen minutes. I'll hold the Yuan Mongols here."

Facing the Mount Hua elders, who had also jumped onto the wall and were now staring at the Punisher pistols in his hands with shining eyes, Liang Yue didn't even bother to acknowledge them. He simply pointed to the dark side outside the gate of Wan'an Temple.

Upon hearing this, the experts from the Six Major Sects quickly thanked him and then hurried off in the direction he had pointed.

The Mount Hua elders, feeling snubbed, were unwilling but still looked at the pistols in Liang Yue's hands with a reluctant expression. However, for the sake of their own lives, they eventually followed the group.

"Brother Liang, what about you?"

Zhang Wuji was also standing on the wall at this time, glancing at the pistols in his hand before looking at him and asking.

"I'll buy you some time. Besides, I still need to go and get Nana and the others out. As for escaping, don't worry about that. I'll have my own way."

Liang Yue said with a nonchalant expression.

With the protection of the MC's rules, he naturally wouldn't find himself in a situation where he couldn't escape, at least not in this Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world.

Even if he really couldn't do anything in the end and encountered some extraordinary expert, he could just dig a hole and escape underground~

"Xiao Zhao and the other two should have gone to the hiding place according to the plan by now, but the three of them are girls, and it's really worrying. Let me go with you!"

After hearing his words, a hint of hesitation flashed across Zhang Wuji's face, but then he quickly returned to normal and said with a righteous expression.

"No need. You should take the people from the Six Major Sects out of the city. That's what you should be doing now. I'll take them to meet you according to the plan."

Facing the battle formation composed of wooden shields more than a hundred meters away, Liang Yue decisively raised his pistols again, and his index fingers twitched wildly as if they were having a seizure, frantically pulling the triggers.

He walked and fired~

In an instant, countless bullets burst out, carrying trails of fiery light behind them, and collided with the seemingly disciplined elite army on the opposite side.

The result~

"Ah!" "Ugh!" "Er!" "Wah!!!" ......

A series of screams rang out in the darkness of the capital city.

The solid wooden shields in their hands did provide some defense. At least, Liang Yue's Punisher bullets were blocked by the wooden shields in the third row after penetrating two people in a row~

The range of damage was at least more than halved~

However, this was not a problem at all for the Punisher pistols, which had unlimited ammunition and a high rate of fire of ten rounds per second.

He could afford to wait, but the Yuan Mongols couldn't.

The army on the opposite side couldn't possibly withstand Liang Yue's continuous stream of bullets and pile up bodies to reach him.

In fact, after only six or seven seconds, when Liang Yue had successively killed hundreds of shield-bearing soldiers and deliberately blown off the head of the enemy commander, the army on the opposite side collapsed.

A large number of Yuan Mongol soldiers began to flee in all directions, this pointless death causing them to break down.

Separated from the enemy by more than a hundred meters, a distance that even their bows and arrows couldn't cross, the enemy could easily inflict heavy casualties on their side, and with extremely accurate attacks!

In this situation, no one would be foolish enough to stand still and wait for the enemy to kill them.

Soon, in less than half a minute, only corpses were left on the road opposite Wan'an Temple.

Even those who were lucky enough to survive but were seriously injured were now clinging to the ground, slowly crawling into the shadows and under the trees by the roadside.

"Boom~!"

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from Wan'an Temple behind him.

Liang Yue turned his head and saw that the towering pagoda, which had originally stood tall in the temple, had now suffered a violent explosion.

Then, it collapsed in his sight.

"It seems that what I did before was right, clearing out the guards in Wan'an Temple as quickly as possible, not giving them a chance to ignite the explosives. The explosion now~

Should have been caused by the Ming Cult's high-level members not cleaning up properly when rescuing the Six Major Sects."

Illuminated by the flames of the explosion, Liang Yue slowly turned around, looked at the dark street in front of him, and then, with a tap of his feet, disappeared into the shade of the trees beside the road.

According to the plan agreed upon in advance with Zhang Wuji and others, Xiao Zhao, Yang Buhui, and Nana had already gone to a civilian house near the base of the city wall that they had agreed upon in advance.

However, that place was quite a distance away from Wan'an Temple. Even with Liang Yue running on the beams and tiles at full speed, it took him a full fifteen minutes to reach the agreed location.

"Hmm?"

The moment he arrived at this residential area, Liang Yue was shocked.

Because at this moment, relying on his mental perception, which was far beyond that of ordinary people, he clearly felt the aura of more than one expert here.

In addition, there was also a group of at least well-trained soldiers lurking in the surrounding shadows.

"Xiao Zhao~ Buhui~ Nana~"

After making this discovery, Liang Yue didn't have the mood to play any dilly-dallying tricks. He directly opened his mouth, using his dantian's true energy as a guide, and called out loudly.

The voice was thick and ethereal, directly resounding over the entire residential area.

As soon as the ending sound fell, the voices of the three girls also sounded, and bright lights suddenly lit up around them.

"Brother~!"

"Liang Yue! Quickly take the young master and leave the capital!"

"Don't worry about us! Go!"

......

Looking in the direction of the sound, a group of figures appeared on the tall city wall of the capital, illuminated by the firelight.
