At this moment, the battle outside the Fanghe Pavilion had entered a stalemate. Zhang Xutuo and three people were in a stalemate with hundreds of gray-shirted soldiers. After paying the lives of two more small bosses, Shi Zihe finally decided to try it himself.
Test whether there are any traps ahead. He is protected by more than 30 soldiers, standing at the end of the attack sequence, supervising the elites of the two brigades to attack upward. The climbing area on the hillside is not very spacious, so he can only put down
These 600 people. If it weren't for the crowded venue, Shi Zihe would have wanted to cram all the tens of thousands of people under his command into the place.
The bandits wearing gray cloth kerchiefs and gray uniforms held high shields made of willow wood and climbed up cautiously. No one wanted to go fast. The whole morning's fighting had exhausted everyone's morale. They were all ordinary people.
Well, they don't need to think about the long term like the Mountain King, and they don't have any grand ambitions. At this moment, the only thing they think about is that the guys in front are not easy to deal with. Although there are only four people in total, no one in the Paoze around them can block the opponent.
Round. Especially Luo Shixin, who likes to cut people's noses, he is simply a murderer. Anyone who comes into contact with him will definitely have no chance of survival. And the guy with a sunburned forehead and a full beard, the one in his hand
Bows and arrows are like eyes. No matter how hard you try, you can't prevent them.
An arrow flew into the crowd, and the bandits were immediately stunned. There were still more than 120 steps away from the crane-free pavilion, and the people in the pavilion actually dared to shoot their bows at this distance! After a brief astonishment, some people began
Screaming: "Master Six, Master Six has an arrow in his house." After hearing the shout, the minions immediately slowed down their steps, and some people kept looking back, hoping to hear the loud noise before they were hit by the arrow.
The boss gave the order to retreat.
"Speed up, he can't fire a few arrows!" Shi Zihe showed a small part of his face from behind the shield and shouted at the brothers. "Isn't it just a few arrows? Since everyone is in this business..."
His voice suddenly stopped, and a soldier rushed forward and blocked the flying white feathers for him with his body. Then, as if someone had pushed him in the chest, the soldier fell to the sky and had no chance again.
Get up.
"Protect the master, protect the master!" I don't know which genius yelled such an order in desperation. In an instant, the minions who were holding their shields forward involuntarily retreated crazily. Those who were close to Shizi River
The others raised their willow shields and stacked up a protective wall around the soldiers that was enough to block the sun. Those far away from the Shizi River formed a crooked "person" shoulder to shoulder on both sides of the protective wall.
"Character.
"Get on, get on, fuck them all." Shi Zihe was completely enraged. He picked up the shield from the corpse of the soldier and smashed the soldiers who were close to him. "Grandma, how can I support you?"
I’ve killed you bunch of losers! Come on over to me. If anyone runs away, I’ll light his sky lantern with my own hands!”
The minions were beaten with bruises and swollen faces. They did not dare to resist the strong power of the stronghold leader, and started the second attack tremblingly. Pei Changcai saw that his white-belt army was unable to help. In order to show the sincerity of cooperation between the two sides, he ordered
The brothers cheered for the friendly troops with step songs. Upon hearing the general's order, more than ten thousand men stood shoulder to shoulder at the foot of the mountain, walking in the same rhythm.
"A good man is on the shore of Ju Ye Ze, wearing a red brocade back." This was Wang Bo's war song during his rebellion. After Pei Changcai pulled a pole to go it alone, he suffered from illiteracy and could not write his own war song, so he had to copy Wang Bo's war song. Borrow it, modify it head to tail, and use it to boost morale.
"Invading the sky and a half, the wheel knife shines in the sun." Another person on the hillside was shot, and the formation suddenly stopped. The singing at the bottom of the mountain also stopped, and then started again.
"Enter the marsh to eat roe deer, come out of the marsh to eat cattle and sheep." The singing gradually became louder. The gangsters looked forward to the prosperous life they had never had before and might have in the future, with faces full of happiness. The passionate singing inspired everyone, including the rogue bandits. Their morale slowly recovered. On the hillside, the people climbing forward holding willow shields slowly straightened up and began to accelerate the charge.
"Brothers, work harder. Whoever passes the pavilion first will be rewarded with a sheep and half a fight of wine!" Shi Zihe saw that the military was ready, hid behind the soldiers, and ordered loudly.
"One sheep, half a fight of wine!" The big and small bosses responded in unison, and the cheers were like thunder. Licheng had never been visited by any thieves before, and many wealthy households in the surrounding counties had moved in. If today Being able to successfully break through the defense line composed of four people in front of me and attack the city...
"Maybe we can get a piece of meat for dinner!" The little boss who was rushing to the front smiled and fell. An arrow flying from the sky shot his throat. Before he could scream, blood filled his mouth. It was fishy and sweet, with the smell of fresh meat. The last time I smelled meat was two days ago, after everyone just captured Changqing County. The last time was, and the last time was probably two years ago, At that time, he was returning from collecting grain for the owner of the village. Fortunately, he hit a rabbit with an injured hind leg with a stone on the way. He exchanged the rabbit skin for half a bucket of rice, and ate the rabbit meat with pickles for more than ten days. That was his The happiest and most peaceful days in my life are even more peaceful than when death comes...
"Suddenly I hear the arrival of officers and soldiers, swing my sword forward. For example, if Liaodong dies, beheading will not hurt." The song suddenly became tragic and generous, and the minions rushed forward on the blood of their companions. They may be ignorant or rude, they They didn't even learn how to hold weapons, but at this moment, no one could deny the bravery of most of them.
The several attacks in the morning went too smoothly, so Li Xu looked down upon the bandits at the foot of the mountain. When he withdrew from Liangting and took turns with Luo Shixin and others, he smiled and said that if the bandits had been as "cautious" in their use of troops as they had been in the morning, the four of them would He could resist the opponent for another half month. But soon, Xuzi found that he could no longer laugh. Accompanied by the shocking singing, a total of six hundred celebrity bandits rushed up the hillside.
"One sheep, half a fight of wine!" The bosses proposed that the battle reward was vulgar, and the word "eat" was not left out from head to toe. But a simple word "eat" made all the timid minions go crazy. "Enter the river to eat roe deer, leave the river to eat cattle and sheep!" They hummed an unrealistic war song and swarmed forward, forcing Luo Shixin and Dugu Lin to retreat. "For example, if Liaodong died, beheading would not hurt. "The bandits marched forward singing loudly, stepping on Paoze's body without hesitation.
Who turned these honest, unambitious farmers into bandits? Li Xu didn't dare to think about the answer. At this moment, he neither had the time to realize life nor the courage to cut meat to feed the eagles. In order to delay the arrival of the bandits, As for the steps in front of him, he could only keep bending his bow and setting an arrow. Every time he let go of the string, someone would fall down upon hearing the sound.
Riding on a stationary horse to shoot at a target within fifty steps, Xuzi almost didn't have to aim. The bowstring made a crisp sound, and he shot a minion who tried to attack Luo Shixin from behind to the ground. Then, he
He quickly pulled out an armor-piercing cone from his quiver and aimed at the other little boss who was leading the charge.
The long arrow let out a low whistle in mid-air, tore open the cloth armor, and shot half a foot into the chest of the little leader. Humming a war song, the little leader hesitantly glanced towards the pavilion, spit out a mouthful of blood, and slowly fell down.
The formation of the bandits was in chaos again. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Shixin waved his long sword and forced the people approaching him back several feet. There were too many enemy soldiers and the mountain road was uneven, leaving him free time.
But he couldn't use all his abilities. While he was feeling depressed, he saw a metallic luster flashing from the corner of his eye out of the corner of his eye.
"Looking for death!" Luo Shixin slammed the stirrup, forcing the horse to jump forward several feet. Immediately, he used the stick as a stick and turned around to sweep. A huge resistance suddenly came from the stick, and a bandit who failed in the sneak attack was swept by the tip of the stick.
His stomach was broken and his intestines were opened. Luo Shixin didn't have time to check the results of his victory. He quickly straightened his body and swept back with the sound of wind, knocking away two sharp wooden sticks that were pierced in front of his eyes.
A rope was thrown from mid-air and wrapped around his body like a poisonous snake. Luo Shi used his strength to snatch it back, but the enemy soldier on the other end of the long rope held on to the rope and refused to let go. This young man who was a sheepherder
The minion was not as strong as Luo Shixin, and he and his "weapons" were pulled quickly towards the war horse. He quickly realized what he was doing and dug his legs tightly into the soil. His fast-moving feet were blocked by the mountain, and the minion screamed loudly.
He screamed, his whole body bent into a triangle, and his legs turned the muddy ground under his feet into two deep bloody grooves. At this moment, a guy who was not afraid of death saw an advantage and swung his knife straight towards Luo Shixin's
War horse.
"Shameless!" Luo Shixin was so angry that he yelled, but he couldn't pull Chang Shan back in time to protect his mount. Just when he was anxious, a long arrow shot through the air and shot down the attacker who had already jumped in front of the horse's neck. Immediately afterwards
, the second feather arrow whizzed out, hitting the throat of the little guy holding the rope.
"Shixin, Chongmu, come to the pavilion!" Zhang Xutuo ordered loudly while putting an arrow on the bow arm. The rebels tried their best, but Luo Shixin's reputation could no longer suppress them. What happened next?
It will be a fierce battle with huge disparity in strength, and the outcome is unpredictable. He loosened his bowstring and shot the minions entangled with Dugu Lin. Then he dismounted and took advantage of the situation to remove an iron-spined snake spear from the side of the horse.
.
If two armies are confronting each other on flat ground, the war horse is as useful as giving the general an extra pair of arms. But four people cannot confront hundreds of red-eyed opponents. If you don’t want to escape, you can meet the enemy on foot.
It was more conducive to taking care of each other. Zhang Xutuo turned his head and tried to suggest that Li Xu also join the battle on foot. However, he saw Xu Zi quickly shoot an arrow from the horse, then jump off the mount. The moment his body landed, he fired a second arrow.
, shoot over the opponent who rushes the most bravely.
"I am incompetent, and I have made General Li Lang suffer!" Zhang Xutuo said very apologetically. He swung his spear and smashed an opponent who rushed in front of him into pieces. Then, he used the spear as a stick, "Woo!"
The ground was stretched out into a large circle, and anyone who was hit by the iron spear would have their muscles and bones broken.
"It's an honor for me to fight alongside Mr. Zhang!" Li Xu quickly replied, loosened his bow string, and shot the minions who rushed to Dugu Lin to death. The rogue bandits' offensive was very fierce, and they showed an unstoppable image.
Jintou. Luo Shixin and Dugu Lin tried to rush back to the pavilion several times, but they were entangled by the enemy and could not successfully join the "main force".
"You, take a few steps back and enter the pavilion!" Zhang Xutuo ordered without looking back. After a morning of actual combat testing, he was very satisfied with the arm sent to him by His Majesty the Emperor. Not only did the young man have a clear mind,
His equestrian skills, swordsmanship and archery skills are also top-notch. Especially the bow in his hand, Zhang Xutuo recognized that it was the best quality made by the Ministry of War during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty. It had short arms and strong strength. He could use this bow to make
Zhang Xutuo has not seen anyone so skilled in the past ten years. He can use this riding bow as a walking bow and can make perfect arrows. Zhang Xutuo can guarantee that this is the first time he has seen him in his life.
.
Li Xu stepped back a few steps with great tacit understanding and retracted into the pavilion. There was a waist-high fence around the pavilion, which greatly increased the safety of people standing inside. In addition, Zhang Xutuo's spear dancing moves were wide open and wide.
, being too close to him does affect the performance of the old man. (To be continued)
