Horse hooves galloped, dust and smoke billowed, and another group of soldiers and horses came running towards the wilderness.
The leader jumped off without waiting for the horse to stop.
"Fourth brother!" he shouted, "Where is Chen Shi?"
Liang Sizi, who was standing there in trance, turned his head and looked at the person coming: "Lao Liu."
At this moment, Liang Liuzi was not as glamorous as when he was in the capital. His military robes were shabby and the blood stains on his weapons were solidified and mottled.
Liang Liuzi looked at the blood seeping from Liang Sizi's shoulders and cursed: "Chen Shi ran away?" After saying that, he turned around and greeted the crowd, "Chase——"
The soldiers and guards who came behind him roared and stampeded with their horse hooves.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Liang Sizi shouted, looking at Liang Liuzi again, "I asked him to leave."
Liang Liuzi stared: "What? You can't beat him, so you give up?" He rolled up his sleeves and pulled out a long knife, "He hasn't fought me yet! He has to beat me before he can leave!"
Liang Sizi stretched out his hand and took off his knife: "I told him whatever he was crazy about. I let him go."
Liang Liuzi looked sad: "Fourth brother, if you are soft-hearted and let him go, no one will really care about him here."
Liang Sizi said: "It's actually useless for him to be here alone. If he wants money, he won't have money. If he wants things, he won't have anything. If he wants people, he won't have anyone."
Liang Liuzi said anxiously: "My fifth brother and I went to Beijing and really urged the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War also said that they would definitely report it and approve the money and manpower for us as soon as possible."
ASAP
Liang Sizi looked at the horizon and then at the green grass on the ground. When Liang Liuzi went to the capital to apply, the grass on the ground was turning yellow, but now the yellow grass is tender green.
No money, no people, nothing was delivered.
"It should be soon." Liang Liuzi whispered.
Liang Sizi smiled at him and nodded. No matter whether it was fast or slow, what could they do? They could only wait.
"Chen Shi said he was looking for someone." He said, "When he becomes the leader and someone has money, he will come to help repair the city defense."
The head of the Mo clan? That’s really a rich man, otherwise King Jin wouldn’t have recruited them in the first place.
Thoughts flashed through Liang Sizi and Liang Liuzi's expressions.
The Momen, who were recruited by the King of Jin to rebel, had been working for the Beihai Navy a long time ago. If you put it this way, the court and the world suspected that they were colluding with the Momen, and they were not wrong.
"Chen Shi said that Beitang is different from the leader. He was a pawn of the King of Jin before and it was the leader alone. Beitang disagrees." Liang Sizi said in a low voice, "He is going to compete to be the leader this time.
Just to bring order to the chaos."
Liang Liuzi glanced at him and murmured: "Fourth brother, do you believe him so much? What if he doesn't come back? He has become the head of the clan and there are rich people, but he still comes to our place to do hard labor? Then the government recognizes his identity and arrests him.
Why should he suffer?"
Yes, why bother.
Liang Sizi held the knife in his hand and looked ahead and behind him.
"We do what we can do, and what other people do is their business," he said.
What Liang Liuzi was about to say was heard again by the sound of horse hooves behind him.
"Four Generals -" the visitor shouted, "urgent report - urgent report - the barbarians have appeared outside the entrance of Beizhai -"
Liang Liuzi's words turned into a roar: "These savages are here again!"
Liang Sizi had already mounted his horse.
"Lao Liu, you immediately lead troops to assist." He shouted, "No matter what the cost, we cannot let the barbarians break through Beizhaikou!"
Liang Liuzi roared, got on his horse, raised his long sword and called to the soldiers: "Follow me -"
Tender grasses spread across the wilderness, but became increasingly sparse as you went north, and the ground was so thick with dead grass that it could not emerge until a few spring winds overturned it.
A group of dark people rode horses slowly in the wilderness. Although they moved very slowly, the horses' hooves overturned all the dead grass.
They did not have uniform armor. They wore different types of animal skins and cloth. They seemed to wear whatever they had. The weapons they held in their hands were also different, including huge hammers, stone axes, and wooden forks made from tree trunks.
These are the barbarians wandering deep in the north. The reason why they have the word "wild" is because they are like uncivilized savages.
For savages, grasslands and deep mountains and forests are a paradise for survival, but this does not include winter and spring. At this time, animals hibernate and hide, and trees are dormant without fruit. They lack clothing to avoid the cold and food to satisfy their hunger.
, the instinct of beasts makes them look for opportunities to survive. They follow the warm wind from the south and the smell of delicious food.
However, their instinct will also make them seek good luck and avoid bad luck.
When they saw a faint pass in front of them, the barbarian soldiers walking at the front raised their hands and signaled that the troops and horses stopped.
Although the tempting smell of food came from the direction of the pass, and although there was only a flat land covered with grass outside the pass, the wilderness warriors with rich hunting experience could sense the danger. At the same time, someone in the team shouted and waved the wooden fork in their hands.
, he was telling everyone that he had encountered danger here before, and there were ferocious traps hidden on the seemingly ordinary ground.
The team became restless as a result. Some people wanted to retreat, but others disagreed.
The food is right in front of you. Do you want to retreat just because of danger?
Hunting in the mountains and forests is still dangerous!
If we can't bring back food, how will we survive this spring?
In the end, the need for survival made everyone agree that they should give it a try. A group of the bravest soldiers were selected, holding weapons and urging their horses to roar toward the checkpoint.
When a dozen horses stepped on a piece of grass, a row of iron picks suddenly appeared on the ground, piercing the horses' hooves and legs. The horses neighed and fell down, and the soldiers on the horses were thrown off——
It's nothing. Without horses, the soldiers can still charge with their legs.
Halfway through the fall, the soldiers roared and adjusted their postures and raised their weapons, but they failed to land. Just as the iron drill pierced the horse's leg, there was another weird roar from the ground, and a piece of wood was heard.
The frame was turned over, wrapped in dead grass.
The next moment the tumbling soldiers hit the wooden frame, they let out a scream. The wooden frame was also covered with iron drills, and with the huge ups and downs impact, the rolling soldiers were instantly penetrated.
Each of the majestic soldiers was nailed to the wooden frame like a dead rat, and blood dripped down, staining the wooden frame and the ground red.
The barbarians in the rear let out sharp roars, with anger, grief and unconcealed fear. Some horses stampeded and retreated, but there were also crazy soldiers who rushed forward regardless -
Some soldiers frantically hit the wooden frame on which their comrades were nailed. The seemingly simple wooden frame was as hard as iron when nailed, and as soft as silk when pulled. As it was pulled, it became longer, wider, and crooked, but it could not be torn apart.
.
A soldier looked for another direction and rushed over, but was pierced by the iron drill again. He cleverly controlled and fell forward, standing on the horse. Sure enough, there was no wooden frame in front of him, but when he carefully tested it and landed on the ground,
, a row of iron drills suddenly appeared under the ground, and the soldiers screamed and suffered the same fate as the war horses.
After several attempts, looking at the corpses of their companions in front of them, it was like a wall was erected. The fear of the barbarians gradually grew. They roared, but fewer and fewer people rushed forward, and many people began to retreat, with eyes burning.
The desire to hunt.
Faced with such a protective trap, even if you rush through it, how many people can survive?
Looking ahead, there are faintly visible soldiers standing on the city wall at the pass, with many bows and crossbows.
The few soldiers who rushed over would be killed by crossbows.
The ferocity of the barbaric warriors can be equal to ten, but if one is equal to dozens, it will be a complete death.
The leader was surrounded by soldiers who were persuading him to look for other places. They told how a certain tribe and even the entire clan had been buried in such a trap before. When the priests summoned the souls, the undead were still warning, and they were surrounded by such a trap.
The land is not suitable for hunting.
The leader also wanted to retreat, but at this moment, several soldiers who were desperately shaking the wooden frame suddenly swung their bodies, and a wooden frame was pulled out. Along with the soldiers and the wooden frame, they flew away, and a round
The iron tool fell and hit the soldier on the head.
The soldier howled, but although it hurt, he did not receive any other attacks.
At the same time, there was a dense creaking sound on the ground, and dense iron drills drilled out of the untrodden ground in the distance, shining with a cold light in the sunlight.
This sudden scene made the noisy barbarian soldiers freeze, and they all took a step back, but the scary thing about the iron drills on the ground was that they appeared out of nowhere, and if they had been seen in advance, they would not be so scary——
what happened?
The leader of Yihuang narrowed his eyes, and the blessing of the gods seemed to ring in his ears. He raised his hand and waved, and another group of soldiers came out. Although there was a look of fear on their faces, they roared and rushed forward, avoiding the sudden appearance of the soldiers.
There is no iron drill, and there is no wooden frame to bounce up from the ground, one step, two steps, three steps -
Standing on the rammed earth city wall, Liang Liuzi slapped it hard, causing dust to fly.
"It's fucking broken again!" he cursed.
The veteran next to him had a face full of vicissitudes of life and said: "We also discovered during our inspection that several parts fell off. We also specially found a blacksmith to make new ones according to this look and installed them. Why?"
Why doesn't it work?
"Master Sun, those blacksmiths said, what, pull the hair, move the whole body, etc. If it's broken, it won't just be broken here, the whole thing may have to be rebuilt, and they can't do it." The deputy general next to him said, "You
I still don’t believe it——”
The veteran spat: "How the hell do I understand this? Whether you believe it or not, you can't cultivate it, right?"
Liang Liuzi interrupted their argument with a roar: "Stop talking nonsense, those grandsons are coming -"
Sure enough, after several soldiers tested to see if there were any traps, more and more barbarian soldiers rushed over, getting closer and closer, raising dust and roaring like wild beasts. Standing on the city wall, you could feel the ground shaking.
"Don't worry about the wood and iron, we ourselves are the most solid barrier!" Liang Liuzi shouted, raising a heavy bow, "Kill me——"
With a roar, a crossbow and three arrows flew out in his hand.
With his three arrows, arrows rained down on the city wall.
The barbaric soldiers and horses at the front fell again, their horses were hit by arrows, and their people were penetrated, but behind them, iron knives, stone axes, and sharpened spears also flew towards the city wall like rain.
