Chapter 37 The Battle of Shajiadian I
As soon as Zhang Xiaodao stood in front of the battlement, he heard the roar of the Cangji River outside. The reason why Shajiadian was built on this island is because the water here is stable, which is very suitable for boats. Zhang Xiaodao has been in Shajiadian for several years, and he has never heard such an angry roar from the Cangji River. I couldn't help but be curious, and poked my head out of the battlement to look.
"Be careful!" Mr. Mu and the soldier named Lao Li shouted together, reaching out and grabbing Zhang Xiaodao's neck and pulling him back.
"Whoosh-" A sharp arrow flew past Zhang Xiaodao's scalp, several broken hairs slowly fell in the air, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead. Zhang Xiaodao's face was pale, his heart was beating like a drum, he had already prepared for the worst when he came, and he didn't even dare to look back at his sister, he was afraid that he wouldn't have the courage to step out of the threshold after seeing him. But Zhang Xiaodao never expected the danger to come so quickly, if it wasn't for the quick reaction of Mr. Mu and the veteran surnamed Li just now, I am afraid that my life will be explained here.
"Huh-" Zhang Xiaodao was still stunned, suddenly the sound of the stirring wind sounded in his ears, and he subconsciously looked up, only to see a spear whistling and flashing, as fast as lightning. A terrible scream sounded, and through the battlement, Zhang Xiaodao saw the huge wrists and feet writhing wildly, obviously hit by Mr. Mu, this monster who didn't know what it was suffered a lot.
In just two or three days, what he saw and heard almost subverted all of Zhang Xiaodao's previous cognitions. When I was a child, whenever my sister refused to eat or cried, my mother would scare her with the monsters in the cemetery at the head of the village. At that time, Zhang Xiaodao was four years old, and he understood something somewhat, so he quietly ran to tell his sister that there are no monsters in this world, and his mother was very passive, so Zhang Xiaodao was spanked. But in the past two days, he has really seen monsters, one is more terrifying than the other, one is more ferocious than the other, and Zhang Xiaodao's hand holding the spear is a little trembling.
"Dysprosium-, dysprosium-, dysprosium-" Countless arrows rang out in one piece, just like the heavy rain that had just fallen two days ago. The crossbow arrows in Lao Li's hand kept firing, and he was originally a little indignant because the leader had forced two chicks to him in such a big battle, but now he became excited. Seeing the spear shot by Mr. Mu just now, Lao Li felt that there was no problem with doubling the military merits of his team today.
Lao Li led ten soldiers, in addition to Mr. Mu and Zhang Xiaodao, there were two archers, two crossbowmen, two spearmen and two knife soldiers. At this time, the enemy was just beginning to attack, and the sword and spearmen were useless, and the two longbow soldiers were the absolute main force.
Lao Li and another crossbowman cooperated with two longbows to block the enemy, and on the other hand, he glanced at the spearmen behind him. He thought that the pale-faced young man had come with the spearman, and that the relationship was obviously not ordinary. Now that today's military merits are guaranteed, I have to be a little bit of a look, and take good care of his brother, and he is embarrassed to leave his team after this war. These people have been together for not a day or two, and when they saw Lao Li looking over, needless to say, the gunman had already understood the meaning.
"Little brother," the spearman patted Zhang Xiaodao on the shoulder, "don't stand here, the enemy is far away now, and it is not our turn to play, go, follow my brother to the back and guard, and give them these places to make room for bows and arrows." ”
Zhang Xiaodao had just walked away in the ghost gate, and before he could calm down, he saw the huge wrist and foot again, and now he could still stand here, it was not easy, and he was dragged aside by the gunmen in a daze, and his mind was blank.
Mr. Wood was already standing on the wall, holding a spear in one hand, and with each throw, someone handed one to him. The spear was thrown faster and faster, and the back was delivered faster and faster. Mr. Mu didn't care about the arrows shot from the city at all, there were more than a dozen red lotuses flying in front of him, and there were turquoise spirit armor to protect his body, and these arrows alone couldn't hurt Mr. Mu at all. When Mr. Mu came from the town, he didn't think that this wall was anything special, and he felt its majesty when he stood here, and it was not for nothing that Shajiadian chose to build here, except for the Shajia Wharf and the ferry wharf in the west of the city, the terrain was slightly gentle, and most of the rest of the places were steep cliffs, so as long as a wall was not too high on the edge of the town, it would be difficult to attack it outside.
Just like now, the river under the cliff is surging and surging, and the huge waves and hills are like lapping over, and many shrimp soldiers and crabs will rush over by the water potential, but they can only attack under the city wall and the edge of the cliff, and then want to go up to the water is exhausted, but it is extremely difficult.
After attacking for a while, a roar came from the river, and an old man with the head of a water lion waved the order flag in his hand, and the monster retreated like a tide.
Mr. Mu jumped off the wall, subconsciously reached out and grabbed an outstretched arm, and glanced at the general named Gao Sheng. Chase the book
"Hey," Gao Sheng's stubble-covered face was full of smiles, and Fang Cai's scolding and impatient appearance was like two people, "Little brother Gao's surname? This time, I saw that Wei Laodao was not convinced. The more Gao Sheng spoke, the happier he became, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Mu Twelve has seen the general. Mr. Mu bowed respectfully, which was not a lie, but he only said the first half of his name. In the past, Mr. Mu and Chen Zhutou and Pei Baifa were not close friends, and they didn't stay in the barracks and the fishing room for a few days, so they were not too familiar with the style of these men in the army. But today I saw Gao Sheng, he didn't feel disgusted, steamed buns are somewhat similar to them, they are all straightforward tempers, although it takes some mind and bearing to adapt, but such a person is the most easy to get along with, as long as you are good to him, he will also dig out his heart and lungs for you.
Gao Sheng was stunned, he originally thought that his attitude was a little bad when this young man first came, and at this time, he took advantage of the interval between the big battles to quickly ease the relationship. He didn't want such a master to fight with emotions, if he was distracted and hurt because of this, Gao Sheng would feel guilty for the rest of his life. Another point, Gao Sheng is also worried about whether the boy will leave him after this battle. Where is such a master going, and where is he not welcomed? At that time, I am afraid that the title of the first military merit in the entire Flying Tiger Guard will never be promoted again.
Now seeing the boy's gift, Gao Sheng let go of his heart, walked over and punched Mr. Mu in the chest, "Good boy, it's a gentleman, but my brother and I are a little petty, if I am still alive after this battle, we will be brothers in life and death." As he spoke, Gao Sheng looked around, and there were many people standing next to him with knives, guns, bows and crossbows, no need to ask, naturally they were all Gao Sheng's subordinates, "The people standing here will also be your brothers in life and death, no matter where you are from now on, what happens, these brothers are worthy of trust and can be trusted." ”
Gao Sheng's words were categorical, and he didn't ask Mr. Mu if he wanted to, so he settled the matter. Although there are only a few words, and there are no gambling curses and swearing, blood alliances and the like, Mr. Mu's eyes are a little wet, he knows that these men are not just talking casually, especially in this time of life and death, they really accept themselves, and are really ready to entrust their lives and backs to themselves in the next battle.
Mr. Mu didn't speak, just nodded earnestly and vigorously, and the gaze in his eyes had never been so solemn.
Gao Sheng was satisfied, waved his hand around, patted Mr. Mu on the shoulder, and turned to leave.
Only then did he walk to Zhang Xiaodao's side, and before he could speak, a terrible arrow rang out again. Mr. Mu didn't care to say anything more, and flew out reflexively, and his hands were moved to the sides, and he already held two spears.
Whew, whew, the spear flew out again, and like Fang Cai, the spear shot at the enemy's chest again, but unlike Fang Cai, this time the spear did not penetrate the enemy's chest as expected, because this time the enemy who rushed up was different from just now.
This time, the Cangji River did not set off any more huge waves, the river surface was very calm, and one by one the monsters climbed up from the river. At the front is a monster with the head of an elephant and the body of a brute bear, with a majestic body more than three feet high, and the sharp claws in the palm grasp the rock like grasping tofu, and easily stab into it. The long elephant trunk waved, if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Mu's spear was too powerful and too fast, I was afraid that the elephant trunk would have been pumped out of the clouds. Even so, the spears pierced the body of the elephant-headed yokai as if they were stabbed on an iron plate, and there was a dull thudding sound, and the broken spears fell one by one into the rushing river below.
Like a huge shield, the elephant-headed bear-body youkai walked and advanced in front, blocking the arrows shot down from the city wall one after another, covering the youkai behind them to climb together. Behind these elephant-headed monsters are spider-like monsters, these monsters have eight arms on their backs, and they have bows and crossbows on their arms, and from time to time some spider silk-like filaments spit out from their pincer-like mouths, and these long filaments stick to the rocks, pulling those eight-armed monsters up quickly. These monsters didn't need arms to climb the cliffs, and the eight arms that were left empty kept shooting arrows at the walls. Although the bodies of these monsters are not as strong as those elephant-headed monsters, they are also two feet high, and the longbow in their hands is even more huge, and even the crossbow arrows shot out are three or four feet long.
These short spears shot high and powerful, and in just a moment, there were casualties on the walls. But the arrows shot by the soldiers on the wall were blocked by those elephant-headed monsters, how could a few of them reach the approach of the eight-armed demon?
Seeing these monsters approaching quickly, it was only less than a stick of incense, and the monsters that climbed in front had already reached the foot of the city wall. The cliff more than ten zhang underground only took so much time, how long could the two zhang high wall stop them? Mr. Mu didn't expect that the battle situation was still very good, and it became so critical in the blink of an eye.
