The setting sun was like blood, and the cold wind was howling.
In the Great Wei Dynasty, in the northern frontier of the Great Wall.
At Anning Pass.
At this moment, the alien tribes were about to attack the pass!
Hunruxie, the Left Virtuous King of the Xiongnu, led an army of one hundred thousand troops and was coming to break through the pass and march southward.
With an army of one hundred thousand troops attacking the pass, the flames of war blazed continuously...
Sheng Huai'an looked at the huge army outside the city, and his hands gripping the bow and arrow were sweating coldly.
This was his first time on the battlefield.
"Why, are you very nervous?" The veteran beside him spoke up.
Obviously, Sheng Huai'an looked like a raw recruit at first glance.
"Yes!"
There was fear in Sheng Huai'an's eyes.
He was indeed a new recruit. He had just transmigrated here and was out for a stroll when he was grabbed as a conscript to defend the city.
He didn't know what those garrison soldiers were thinking. Why did they grab an ordinary commoner like him who had no combat experience and no strength?
To be used as cannon fodder?
"The common people in the city?!" The veteran seemed to have seen through everything, with a shrewd look in his eyes.
Sheng Huai'an nodded, his hands trembling.
He had transmigrated into a scholar also named Sheng Huai'an. He had just gone out to explore the surrounding environment when he was caught by the recruiters and made into a conscript.
"Don't be afraid either. You just close your eyes and then open them, and it'll all be over. There's nothing to be afraid of." The veteran comforted him.
Sheng Huai'an:...
You comforted me well. Please don't do it again next time.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Outside the city, the war drums were thundering, echoing through the sky.
"Hide well. Don't stick your head out randomly. The Xiongnu army has started to attack. First, we need to dodge this round of arrow rain." The veteran reminded.
Seeing the veteran squatting behind the parapet, observing the enemy troops through the small holes in the wall.
Sheng Huai'an also quickly squatted down beside the veteran.
The next moment, arrows rained down like a shower.
All that could be heard was the "whoosh" sound of the arrows being shot through the air.
At this moment, all the defenders on the city wall were hiding behind the parapet. No one dared to stand up.
Those who dared to stand would be living targets, just offering their heads.
Now that the Xiongnu army was attacking the city and arrows were falling like rain, who would stand there to become a hedgehog?
Under the suppression of the arrow rain, the attacking army set up the scaling ladders and began to climb up, preparing to ascend the city wall.
As soon as the arrow rain stopped, the veteran shouted, "Quick, get ready to counterattack. Only by defending the city wall can we survive."
Seeing the veteran stand up, Sheng Huai'an also stood up.
The weapon he was assigned was a shabby bow and arrow, the kind that could barely be used.
Plus five arrow feathers, his equipment was pitifully simple.
Anyway, he was just cannon fodder, so he didn't need very good equipment.
"Kid, don't just stand there. Shoot quickly!" The veteran beside him shouted.
Looking at the Xiongnu army surging like a tide, Sheng Huai'an snapped back to reality.
This was completely different from what was shown on TV dramas.
Compared with the real situation, what was shown on TV was simply... too lame!
Thousands upon thousands of people were attacking the city, densely packed, creating a huge sense of oppression on people's minds.
Now that the army had already approached the city wall to set up ladders and climb, the arrow rain of the Xiongnu army had just stopped.
Sheng Huai'an looked at the densely packed Xiongnu army beneath the city wall. Without caring whether he could shoot accurately or not, he drew the bow and released the string, shooting towards the crowd below the city wall.
"Whoosh!"
A Xiongnu soldier below the city wall fell to the ground with a thud, dying with his eyes wide open.
A blind cat bumped into a dead mouse. He was the "dead mouse" that was bumped into.
For the first time in his life, Sheng Huai'an had shot an arrow and killed a Xiongnu soldier.
After shooting and killing a Xiongnu soldier with one arrow, Sheng Huai'an noticed something unusual in his brain.
Oh no, his head itched. His brain was about to grow!!
Sheng Huai'an noticed a golden light curtain appearing in his mind.
On the light curtain were golden words:
Name: Sheng Huai'an
Race: Human Race
Cultivation Method: None
Talent: Lousy Novice Archer (+)
Killing Value: 1
A golden finger?
Looking at the golden light curtain that appeared in his mind, Sheng Huai'an was instantly overjoyed.
The golden finger that was a must-have for transmigration. The ancients really didn't deceive me.
"System, hello?"
No response!
Could it be that the way to open it was wrong?
"Hi, hello System!"
Still no response.
Sheng Huai'an couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. Wasn't this golden finger a system? Why was there no movement!
He was still counting on the system to open the newbie starter pack and turn himself into a God of War, slaying enemies left and right.
What should I do if I got a crippled system on the battlefield of Syria?
Waiting online, urgent! Urgent! Urgent!
Unfortunately, just because you keep thinking about something doesn't mean you'll always get a response.
Seeing a plus sign after "Lousy Novice Archer", after being immersed in online novels for years, he didn't hesitate to add points.
In this situation, it must be the kind of golden finger where you can level up with one click like in cultivation novels.
Sure enough, as soon as he moved his mind to add points, instantly, the experience and knowledge related to being an archer flooded into his mind.
In an instant, Sheng Huai'an successfully transformed from a lousy novice archer to an ordinary archer.
At the same time, a warm current flowed through his body, making him feel much stronger.
"So, just adding killing value will do."
Simple and clear.
"I feel that I'm terrifyingly strong now!" Sheng Huai'an immediately drew the bow and released the string, looking quite like an archer.
With one arrow shot, a Xiongnu soldier below the city wall was pierced through the heart and fell to the ground, dead beyond dead.
After shooting and killing a Xiongnu soldier, the killing value returned to 1 point again.
However, this time, there was no plus sign after "Ordinary Archer".
Obviously, this 1 killing value couldn't allow him to be promoted from an ordinary archer to the next level again.
"Hey, not bad. You killed another one."
The veteran beside him saw that Sheng Huai'an had actually shot two arrows in a row and killed two enemies.
He didn't look like a newly recruited raw recruit at all.
"Good luck, good luck." Sheng Huai'an was no longer nervous. Instead, he had a smile on his face.
Enemy: I fucking thank you for your good luck. Can your luck not be so good? That's our lives.
Damn those enemies without a sense of boundaries!
With the golden finger, what was he afraid of? With the protagonist's halo shining upon him, he was bound to be powerful.
Many protagonists in novels are like this.
At this moment, the Xiongnu army was attacking the city. The Xiongnu soldiers were climbing up along the scaling ladders. The defending soldiers picked up stones and threw them down.
With one stone thrown, it was like splitting a watermelon.
Some soldiers carried the scalding hot molten metal and poured it down. The Xiongnu soldiers who were drenched in the molten metal wailed in pain and fell down.
The defending side had the upper hand. For the attacking side to win, they could only sacrifice their lives.
"If the enemy manages to climb onto the city wall later, you should retreat to the back." The veteran said.
It was rare to find a promising archer. The veteran didn't want Sheng Huai'an to die in close combat.
"Don't worry, uncle. I cherish my life." Sheng Huai'an said.
At this moment, he had already forgotten the fear of the battlefield. He was only thinking about getting killing values. For some reason, his adaptability was surprisingly strong.
Sheng Huai'an continued to draw arrows and pull the bow, shooting towards the Xiongnu army below the city wall. Anyway, there were people densely packed below the city wall, and it was rare to miss.
"Whoosh!"
Another enemy fell down with a thud, pierced through by an arrow and feeling chilled to the bone.
The killing value increased by one point again, but there was still no plus sign after "Ordinary Archer".
Seeing that there was still no plus sign, it seemed that he had to continue killing.
In order to become stronger and survive in this strange world, Sheng Huai'an could only say sorry.
No need to say thank you!
He drew the arrow and pulled the bow again, and with one arrow shot, he ended the life of a Xiongnu soldier.
Of the five arrow feathers, four had already been used.
Sheng Huai'an didn't pause. He continued to draw arrows and pull the bow, and his posture of pulling the bow became more and more proficient.
With one arrow shot, it hit the center of the forehead of a Xiongnu soldier.
None of the five arrow feathers missed.
"Kid, are you really a newly grabbed conscript?" The veteran beside him looked at Sheng Huai'an in disbelief.
Looking at his fair and clean appearance as a scholar, it was unimaginable that on the battlefield, he could shoot and kill five enemies with five arrows. This could be considered a hundred percent hit rate.
After shooting and killing five enemy soldiers without even changing his expression, was this really a newly grabbed conscript?
Even new recruits wouldn't perform this well, would they?
Not only the veteran, but also several soldiers beside him looked at Sheng Huai'an with a bit of surprise.
With a shabby bow, he killed five enemies, which really made them look at him with new eyes.
Don't look down on just these five enemies. This was also considered a military merit.
It was a pity that they were currently defending the city. Without being able to take the heads, this military merit couldn't be counted.
You should know that other archers, facing so many Xiongnu soldiers below the city wall, would miss their shots. They couldn't be like Sheng Huai'an, hitting every time.
It wasn't known whether it was good luck or if he really had an extraordinary talent for being an archer.
Not to mention that Sheng Huai'an was a newly grabbed conscript. Other conscripts, seeing the army attacking the city at this moment, were trembling with fear.
"Of course it's true?" Sheng Huai'an looked at the veteran speechlessly.
"Alright, you go down and rest. Later, it'll be close combat. You have such thin arms and legs. Don't get hurt." The veteran looked at Sheng Huai'an and said.
"No, I want to continue killing the enemy and defend our homeland." Sheng Huai'an said righteously.
The veteran looked at Sheng Huai'an. Could these words really come out of the mouth of a newly grabbed conscript?!
When did new conscripts have such ideological awareness?
Other soldiers also looked at Sheng Huai'an with full of surprise. You're telling me this is a conscript?
Which conscript wouldn't want to run down the city wall and hide?
"Uncle, get me some more arrow feathers. I feel that I'm terrifyingly strong now." Sheng Huai'an said with full confidence.
