The arrows were like rain, whizzing towards the courtyard one after another.
It turned out that the person was holding a bow, and his rate of fire was nowhere near that of a repeating crossbow. Plus, his attention was focused on the entrance of the courtyard. He didn't expect someone to stick out from the courtyard wall and shoot. He was suddenly attacked. A large area fell down in an instant, with some remaining.
Panicked, they all turned around and counterattacked.
However, the repeating crossbow fires too fast, and it shoots at close range. The accuracy is greatly improved, and it knocks down a large area in the blink of an eye. When the soldiers ambushing on the outside arrive and learn to use human ladders to participate in the battle, the output becomes even more fierce.
, became even denser, and the people in the courtyard couldn't stand it any longer, and retreated one after another, hiding in the main hall.
At the gate of the courtyard, Qin Huaidao had been observing carefully, and he was determined when he saw this scene. Seeing that the enemy was about to rush down and kill him, he rushed up, no longer hesitating, and shouted to a brigade commander: "Come in, take your people and seize the main hall.
"
"Follow me, follow the order." The brigade commander shouted, leading a hundred of his men towards the main hall. If anyone came out, he would shoot and seal the door, not giving any chance to the enemies inside.
Qin Huaidao led others into the courtyard gate. Inside was a larger courtyard with a bluestone road leading directly to the main hall. There were grasslands on both sides with cedar trees. The ground was full of corpses, some of which were not dead, and many soldiers were climbing over the wall.
Entering, it is the person who left before.
Xu Shiji also rushed in and shouted to a brigade commander: "Take your men and hide on both sides to guard the courtyard gate. Don't allow the enemy to come in. Be careful of your own people and don't accidentally hurt them."
"Follow the order!" Du Du quickly agreed and ordered the team to disperse.
There are two hundred people in a regiment, with one school captain and two brigade commanders. The school captain is injured by an arrow, and the command is handed over to the brigade commander. One person will lead the team to attack the main hall, one person will lead the team to guard the gate, and the team members will be allocated.
One regiment was still guarding the intersection, but luckily the soldiers from the other three regiments arrived. Half of them climbed over the wall and entered, while the other half had no other means to rely on and walked through the courtyard gate.
After the soldiers landed and gathered around, Xu Shiji shouted: "Get in formation to prevent the enemy from rushing in."
When Qin Huaidao saw the soldiers arrayed directly in the courtyard, he became anxious and shouted quickly: "General Xu, it is recommended that the soldiers hide under the courtyard wall, which can also prevent the enemy from coming in. The courtyard is easily attacked by arrows. Under the courtyard wall
Much safer, unless the enemy throws the arrow and the arrow falls vertically."
Once the enemy rushes in, they can shoot arrows into the courtyard, but it will be difficult to hit the people hiding under the courtyard wall. The wall can play a very good blocking role. Xu Shiji reacted and did not blame Qin Huaidao for interfering with the command, and shouted: "
Quick, hide under the courtyard wall to prevent climbing in."
The soldiers had just climbed the courtyard wall to shoot the enemies inside, but they were also worried that the enemies would follow suit, so they rushed over one after another, leaning against the wall and looking up, feeling much relieved.
A large number of soldiers rushed in and rushed to the courtyard wall to avoid it. Qin Huaidao looked back and saw that the one hundred soldiers who rushed towards the main hall had already arrived at the door and were shooting at the people inside. The people on the ground also fought hard, but in the end the output speed was slow.
, was suppressed by everyone, but no one could kill them.
Seeing this scene, Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief. The enemy in the main hall was suppressed by a hundred people, and a hundred people were arranged to watch at the entrance of the courtyard. The soldiers were withdrawing. Looking at the courtyard wall, it was not easy for the enemy to break in.
At this time, the person responsible for guarding the intersection also came back, with only more than a hundred points left, and the loss was nearly half. The captain rushed to Xu Shiji, his face was ugly, Xu Shiji comforted him: "Don't panic, have you seen the main hall behind?"
The other party nodded, with murderous intent surging in his eyes. With nearly a hundred people dead, how could he not be angry?
Xu Shiji continued: "Both sides of the hall can pass. Take your people to block one side. Be careful that there are enemies rushing out from behind the hall. Go ahead."
"Follow the order!" The other party rushed over with people.
Xu Shiji arranged for another brigade commander to lead a hundred people to blockade the other side to prevent enemies hidden behind the hall from launching sneak attacks. Everyone formed a closed loop, sealing all loopholes. The only flaw was at the entrance of the courtyard and inside the hall. Xu Shiji
He continued: "My dear nephew, you go and take over the main hall. I'm watching from here."
Qin Huaidao nodded, rushed up from the side, and soon came to behind a pillar near the main hall. He carefully poked his head out to check. There was a huge statue enshrined at the entrance of the main hall. There were people hiding behind the statue, and there were also people hiding on both sides of the door.
There would be too many casualties in a forced charge.
But the strange thing is that the main hall door faces south, but the hall wall does not have a single window, and is still a blue brick structure. It looks like a solid fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The only way is to break through. Qin Huaidao dodged and rushed to the door, leaning against it.
The wall signaled the soldiers in front to step back and give up their position.
At this moment, Qin Huaidao missed the grenade a little, so he threw it in to deal with it directly. It was simple and crude, but unfortunately there was no grenade. He shouted: "Put up your shield and charge in."
"Understood." The soldiers also became angry, sheathed their crossbows, raised their shields in front of them, pulled out their sabers and looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao took a deep breath, suddenly rose up, and rushed into the door. After landing, he rolled twice in a row and came to one side. He used the standard tactic of forcing himself into the door. Without waiting to get up, he slashed with a knife, cutting off one person's calf, and followed the trend.
Get up and start slashing with your sword.
When the soldiers saw that Qin Huaidao did not rush in directly, but threw himself on the ground and rolled close to the target. This action just happened to avoid being shot by arrows, their eyes lit up. The brigade commander roared and followed suit and jumped in. Although his movements were not standard enough,
He was not agile or fast enough, but he avoided being shot by a bow and arrow, rolled to the other side, and fought with the enemy.
As a result, the enemies on both sides of the gate were in chaos and could not shoot the people who rushed in. Only the enemies hidden behind the statues were left. The enemies in the front were easy to deal with. A pair of teams were blocking their shields in front and rushed directly.
Others followed suit and followed closely behind.
Qin Huaidao cut down more than a dozen people with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. He found that there were quite a few, so he did not show any fear. From the corner of his eye, he saw the soldiers charging in. He was determined and roared: "The ones coming in behind are using repeating crossbows."
Shoot."
When the soldiers who came in from behind heard this order, and stimulated by good training, they almost reflexively dropped their shields and swords, picked up their crossbows again, and took action quickly.
A repeating crossbow is as good as a pistol in close combat, but the enemy was entangled with the people in front and fought together, making it difficult to avoid. Many of them fell down in an instant. The soldiers suddenly realized that they could still fight like this? They felt refreshed, and some of them stopped the enemy.
They fought to the death without retreating, while the other group of people hid behind and fired cold arrows to support them.
The power of the sword and the repeating crossbow is greatly increased.
When Qin Huaidao started to kill, he threw away his shield and pulled out another sword. The two swords flew up and down, slashing left and right, and knocked down another one in one breath. The enemies he killed were frightened and retreated one after another. A series of crossbows came at them, and another one fell down.
In a large area, the enemies began to panic and rushed toward the back door of the hall.
"Kill -" the soldiers became energetic and roared to catch up.
Qin Huaidao also chased the enemy to the back door. Behind it was a courtyard, and further ahead was a large hall. It was dark and he didn't know who was worshiped inside. Many men in black rushed over from the hall and quickly shouted: "Stop the pursuit."
, defend on the spot, shoot me!"
The soldiers quickly returned to the palace. One group squatted and the other stood. They fired at the men in black who came up. The arrows flew towards them like a storm, knocking down a large area in an instant. The remaining men in black retreated one after another. Qin Huaidao
He didn't pursue him and shouted: "Seal this door and don't let anyone in."
"Follow the order!" Everyone shouted in unison, and their morale was greatly boosted.
Qin Huaidao hurried out of the hall and saw that the enemy was shooting arrows wildly outside. The ground was densely covered with arrows. Some people tried to rush in from the courtyard gate, but were blocked by the soldiers. Some people started to climb over the wall, but the soldiers hiding under the wall suddenly
Pull the trigger and shoot the enemies who come out, and those who jump in will not be able to flip over the waves.
Outside the courtyard wall, there were torches soaring into the sky, and people were shouting loudly.
At this time, Xu Shiji came over in a hurry, his face ashen: "My dear nephew, something is wrong. There seem to be quite a few Tibetans outside. Although I can't understand what they are saying, the voice is familiar and I can't be mistaken."
"Tubo people, how could they come here?" Qin Huaidao was shocked.
"There must be internal agents. Then they pretend to be a caravan and disperse. It's not a problem to give thousands of people some time. Damn it, who is so bold as to let the Tibetans enter the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty? This is rebellion." Xu Shiji said coldly.
Lu Jiansheng flashed through Qin Huaidao's mind. Could it be that the Fan Yang Lu family was taking revenge on him? Could it be that Lu Jiansheng arranged the note to lure him here deliberately?
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao was filled with anger and said murderously: "No matter who it is or what they want to do, as long as we hold on until dawn, the enemy will withdraw if they see that there is nothing they can do."
"Not necessarily. The enemy is well prepared and may not give up until he achieves his goal." Xu Shiji reminded.
Qin Huaidao thought it made sense. Instead of using so much energy and having been exposed, it would be better to defeat the enemy and finish the matter. He asked: "Uncle Shi, I am afraid that the enemy is coming for me. Can you hold on until dawn?"
"Each of the soldiers carries fifty arrows. A thousand men means fifty thousand arrows. We have the courtyard wall as a cover. If we take aim, it won't be a big problem to kill ten thousand. As long as we hold on and don't let the enemy rush in, we may not lose."
There are only five or six thousand people outside." Xu Shiji said confidently.
"I don't know how much is hidden behind, so everyone should be careful and aim." Qin Huaidao reminded.
"I'll leave it to you later." Xu Shiji nodded and hurriedly gave instructions.
Qin Huaidao returned to the main hall again, and when he came to the back door, he saw that the backyard was filled with men in black, motionless, with expressions as cold as wolves, and their long swords were unsheathed, glowing with cold light. The soldiers were about to shoot them, Qin Huaidao quickly shouted:
"Don't worry, the distance is a bit far and the hit rate is not high, so use it sparingly."
The soldiers nodded and put down their repeating crossbows.
At this time, a man wearing a mask walked some distance away from the crowd, carrying a long sword, and shouted: "Master Qin, I heard that you are powerful in battle, do you dare to stand with me?"
"If I don't fight with unknown people, who are you?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"Do you dare to fight the person who killed you?"
"I don't even dare to reveal my name. I'm just a villain who hides his head and shows his tail. He has no qualifications to fight against me." Qin Huaidao responded unceremoniously.
The other party shouted unwillingly: "Does the dignified Lord Protector have this much courage?"
The general was not interested in Qin Huaidao, so he continued to argue: "I am the protector of the country. Who are you? What qualifications do you have for me to take action?"
"You——" The other party was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.
A man in a black robe came out, even his head was covered by the clothes and hat. In addition, it was dark and he couldn't see his face clearly. He stood side by side with the man before him and said coldly: "Master Qin is very talkative, but he only keeps his words."
That's all. Since I'm afraid of death and don't dare to fight, how about a fight with a little girl? I'm not even afraid of women."
"Why don't you come over and let us have a fight?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"It's better that you come here, the space here is wide enough."
Qin Huaidao sneered: "Why, are you afraid?"
"Hahaha, what a joke, am I afraid? I'm just worried that the place isn't big enough to perform, and I'm worried that Mr. Qin won't accept the defeat." The woman continued with a sneer.
"Just you?" Qin Huaidao cursed rudely: "Come here if you are not afraid of death. Any officer around me can kill you."
"Hahaha!" the soldiers laughed excitedly.
Someone shouted: "That's right, I have the guts to come here. I will fight you for three hundred rounds. I can satisfy you in any position you like. One is not enough. I have a bunch of brothers. Come on."
"Hahaha!" The soldiers laughed knowingly again.
Qin Huaidao heard his head filled with black threads, did he mean this? Sure enough, men all have the same interests and hobbies.
"I'm going to kill you." The woman screamed angrily and flew forward.
Qin Huaidao took the repeating crossbow from one person's hand, quickly aimed it, and shouted: "While shouting, don't move!"
The soldiers were just about to take action when they heard the sound and stopped and looked over.
Qin Huaidao did not explain. He focused entirely on the woman. Based on factors such as her running speed, route, wind speed and refraction, he accurately judged the opponent's next moment's position and took action decisively.
"Boohoo!"
Three arrows were shot out one after another in a straight line, blocking all the target's forward routes.
This woman was indeed very powerful. She had a short sword in her hand, which sent one arrow flying. She dodged to avoid another arrow, but after dodging, she was right in front of another arrow.
With a "Puff" sound, the arrow sank into the opponent's chest.
The woman was only ten meters away from the back door. Her body froze, she stopped, and she looked intently at the arrow on her chest. Then she slowly raised her head to look at Qin Huaidao and said in disbelief: "With my speed and identity, how could you possibly hit it?
"
"You dare to show your embarrassment in front of me with your abilities." Qin Huaidao said disdainfully. Through big data analysis in later generations, Qin Huaidao was sure to hit the missile avoidance step he developed, not to mention that the opponent was indeed fast enough and his body skills were also good.
Agile, but running in a disciplined manner.
Laws are the fatal weakness.
If the soldiers had all taken action just now, and the arrows were flying all over the sky, it would have interfered with the woman's running route and become irregular, which would have affected Qin Huaidao's action.
After being shot at close range by an arrow, no one could survive. The woman's body collapsed suddenly, but she was not completely dead. Her eyes were fixed on Qin Huaidao, full of unwillingness and doubts, and she asked softly: "You can't be shot.
That's right, with my speed, no one can hit it, it's an accident, right?"
Qin Huaidao would not be used to it, and sneered: "How dare you be confident with your speed? Is it an accident? We will find out if you send one of your people up to try again. I will be happy to send you down."
"you--"
The woman spurted out blood and lost her life.
The woman's death also shocked the men in black, and the whole place fell into silence.
After a while, the man who came out first said in a deep voice: "Mei Niang is famous for her speed and agility. She has never had an opponent. I didn't expect to die in your hands. It was impossible to hit her. It must be an accident."
"Come and give it a try. Just a reminder, it's almost dawn and you don't have much time."
"You are looking for death!" The other party was furious and shouted: "There are five hundred elites here and thousands more outside. Why are you fighting us? You must die tonight."
"Sure enough, they are here for me. You are the killer at first glance, someone from Fengyu Tower, right?" Qin Huaidao asked coldly. Seeing that the other party did not answer, he did not care, and continued: "Whether it is assassination or not, it is assassination."
The imperial court has ordered officials to act in rebellion and punish the nine tribes. No one can protect you."
"Just fight you?" The other party sneered: "Kill you, and then fly far away. The world is so big, where can I not find a home?"
Qin Huaidao heard the unusual meaning and said tentatively: "Do you think that there are five surnames and Qiwang standing behind you, and with a little operation and obstruction, the court will stop pursuing the investigation at most, and you will be able to change your appearance and return to Chang'an to enjoy life.
?”
"Brothers, fight in, glory and wealth will be here." The man did not answer the words, but gave the order.
When the soldiers heard this, they raised their repeating crossbows one after another.
Qin Huaidao frowned slightly. The other person was talking about glory and wealth, not wealth. This was not in line with the characteristics of a killer. Could it be that he really wanted to rebel? His eyes turned cold and he saw the man in black rushing up and starting to attack, quickly aiming at the man who spoke.
While shouting: "Let it in and fight, don't panic, it's a two-stage attack!"
"Follow the order!" The soldiers quickly formed their formation according to their usual training.
A hundred people were divided into two groups and took turns to shoot. A wave of fifty people seemed small, but the door was so big. As long as the enemy was not allowed to come in, it could still be done. Qin Huaidao was not afraid at all. He steadily dragged the crossbow and ran over.
The man who spoke was very cunning. He slowed down and hid in the crowd, making it difficult to shoot him.
Qin Huaidao did not take action and waited for the opportunity.
When the soldiers saw the enemy rushing into range, the brigade commander glanced at Qin Huaidao and gave the order decisively.
"Boohoo!"
For a moment, the arrow was like a meteor, flying past, intertwining into a death net in the void.
"ah--"
Screams rang out one after another, one after another, and those who rushed in front fell down one after another. Those behind stepped on the corpses in front and continued to rush forward. They were not satisfied with the speed, but the soldiers fired their crossbows faster, wave after wave, and they would
The man in black died ten meters away, and the corpses gradually piled up, forming an insurmountable line of death.
"They have all run out of arrows, don't be afraid, just charge forward." A loud roar rang out from the crowd in black.
The soldiers really fired up their arrows and squatted down to reload. The men in black saw it clearly and were overjoyed. They continued to charge wildly, but what greeted them was wave after wave of arrows. Another wave of soldiers who had been waiting took action.
The battle was a one-sided massacre, and the men in black fell one after another, like moths to the flame.
Soon, the man in black couldn't stand it any longer and panicked, and the ones behind him even turned around and ran away. A killer is a killer after all. If you don't have faith, maybe you have it, and that's also an interest. When your life is threatened, your faith will collapse and become...
Be selfish, if one person runs away, more people will follow.
Soon, the remaining men in black fled in all directions. The man who had spoken before panicked and shouted: "Don't run away. Come back. If anyone runs away, his whole family will be destroyed!"
The men in black stopped one after another and were in a dilemma.
Qin Huaidao saw that there was no one around the opponent and it was a rare opportunity, so he was about to take action. Then he thought, if the opponent died, the remaining men in black would take the opportunity to escape. Wouldn't it be an advantage for them? Moreover, most of the remaining men in black had already rushed out of the shooting range.
Outside, it was difficult to chase and kill him, so he suddenly came up with a plan, put down his repeating crossbow, and ordered: "Stop shooting."
The soldiers didn't know why, but they stopped one after another.
Qin Huaidao did not explain, but shouted loudly: "Listen up, I will kill your leader. I will forget the blame and let the leader die. If you run away, your family will not survive."
"You want to sow discord? Impossible." the other party shouted.
Qin Huaidao sneered nonchalantly and said: "I don't care. Anyway, if you don't die, they won't dare to escape. They can only stay and fight to the death. They will be killed by me and then follow the corpse to find out their identity. If the Yijiu tribe kills you, I will
The official doesn’t have to pursue the case, it’s up to you to decide how to choose.”
The man in black hesitated as he spoke.
The Lian Nu was more terrifying than everyone expected. They couldn't defeat it at the beginning. The remaining people would die if they stayed. It was better to kill the leader to try to survive. Some people couldn't help shouting: "Are you serious?"
"Of course, I never lie." Qin Huaidao shouted.
The man became anxious and quickly warned: "Don't listen to him. If you fail to complete the task, you will die if you go back. If I die, you will die if you go back alive."
"But we don't have any worries, and we have always been irritated by you. We just want to settle old scores and kill you and fly away. If you don't come back, who can do anything?" One person said coldly.
"That's right. Is there anyone you would like to work with?" someone echoed.
Someone immediately responded and gathered around.
The soldiers were full of admiration when they saw this scene, and they started inciting internal strife among the enemy with just a few words, which was completely unheard of. The brigade commander asked softly: "My lord, are you really going to let them go?"
"Of course, I stick to my word." Qin Huaidao said solemnly.
Everyone was a little discouraged when they heard this. This was a military achievement, and it would be a pity to let it go. But Qin Huaidao opened his mouth, and no one dared to refute. He sighed and put down his repeating crossbows. Qin Huaidao took in everyone's expressions and laughed in a low voice: "My officer
I promised to let him go, but I didn’t say you agreed.”
Qin Huaidao never spared his enemies, so how could he really let them go? He just let them fight among themselves.
Everyone's eyes lit up, how could they still operate like this?
The brigade commander looked at Qin Huaidao excitedly, reacted, and ordered excitedly: "Get ready, when the internal strife is over, rush up and shoot them all."
"Follow the order." Everyone agreed in a low voice. They looked over excitedly and saw two groups of people fighting together. If you can become the leader, you will naturally have many confidants and followers around you.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt more and more how right Qin Huaidao was to let the enemy fight among themselves. The brigade commander asked excitedly: "Sir, a fight has begun. This is a rare opportunity. Do you want to outflank them, lest the survivors take the opportunity to escape?"
Qin Huaidao said with a smile. "That is your business. I said to spare their lives, and I will do what I say. As for you, you are not my soldiers, so you can decide on your own."
"I understand!" The other party chuckled knowingly.
The soldiers also laughed excitedly and stared at the two groups of people in Huo Bin.
After a while, the two groups suffered numerous casualties. The soldiers were worried that the survivors would escape, so they no longer waited. The brigade commander shouted: "Spread out and encircle, don't let anyone go, kill -"
