38.chapter 38
In the face of the inertial invasion of the behemoth, the first reaction of the small human is to panic and dodge. Including the well-trained archery boys, they tried to stand and did not escape, but after being hit by the crowd, all of them turned pale.
Until they heard Sun Xiuqing's slogan, the conditioned reflex of training for days made them overcome the fear in their hearts and quickly stand in two rows.
Sun Xiuqing also rushed to their side, trying to ignore the giant beast that was already approaching the crowd above his head, and raised his voice to give an order: "Stand upright, prepare to aim!" ”
Archers set up their arrows.
"Shoot!"
With a bang, the arrows flew towards the two pterodactyls that were the first to approach, but the first arrow of the crowd only caused them to deviate slightly.
"Shoot again!"
The pterosaurs were furious and could no longer maintain their balance, but there were still three pterosaurs ready to attack not far away.
"Quick, take Xiaoyun as the center, the teammate on the left shoots this one, the teammate on the right shoots the other, according to what was said in the training, concentrate on shooting one wing, so that it can't keep balance, Xiaoyun, you are responsible for aiming at the eyes, kill these two first!"
"Ready, shoot!"
As the arrows were shot one after another, the two behemoths really fell down staggeringly after being hit by the arrows. With the dull sound of falling to the ground, the crowd and the members of the archery team who had not yet left the scene fell into an eerie silence.
"The rest of the flying beasts are coming, the archers are ready, keep shooting!"
Perhaps it was because he saw the pterodactyl in front of him suffer inexplicably, and the next three were shot by the first wave of arrows, and when they tasted the bitterness, they turned around and flew away, not continuing to attack.
For the first time in its history, the city faced a flying beast attack on the city, without any casualties, and won a complete victory.
The residents, who had woken up from their horrors, saw the bravery of the archery team with their own eyes, and even shed tears of excitement. They were full of yearning for a peaceful and safe life in the future, and they flocked to the teenagers of the archery team, hugging and cheering.
But in the crowd, there is also a small group of people who know very well that the person who trained this team is Sun Xiuqing. They did not walk towards the archery team, but searched for Sun Xiuqing's figure in the crowd.
At this time, Sun Xiuqing had been pulled away by Lie who had come back to his senses. Ma Yi naturally followed him closely, looked at him, and didn't let him act rashly.
In the temple of the Smelting City, Lie's expression was stern: "No one in the archery team will leave with you." ”
Sun Xiuqing looked at Ma Yi, tried to maintain the calmness of her expression, and said lightly: "Patriarch, that's not what I said at the beginning, who can I take away, as long as the other party agrees?" ”
Lie gritted his teeth: "What do you want?" What are the conditions to keep them? ”
Sun Xiuqing shook his head: "Those teenagers are very good, with them, the city defense of Guanlong City believes that it will be established soon, how can I give up such a good talent?" ”
Lie said indignantly, "You can clearly train a brand new team!" ”
"Yes, but that will take time. We also need people, young, brave, wise-rooted ......"
"I'll give you fifteen more, fifteen young lads like them."
Sun Xiuqing shook his head with a smile: "Patriarch, these fifteen people should be the most top-notch young people in the Smelting City, right?" Where do you go to find someone with the same qualifications? I'm not going to do this deal. ”
"Is that okay with the thirty? Thirty young and strong boys. ”
Sun Xiuqing kindly said: "You have so many people, why don't you train them yourself?" ”
Angry belly scolded, thinking he didn't know that he was training well? The problem is that there are only a dozen people in total, and most of them were taken away by her, so how does he, a layman, know how to train?
"Patriarch, if I were you, I wouldn't think of the archery team as a simple city defense self-defense force. Do you think, even a behemoth like a flying beast has been shot down by our bows and arrows, and those little beasts that we need to hunt a daily basis are still a problem? If the birds of the sky, or the beasts of the earth, or the fish of the water, as long as they are eaten, what cannot be hunted with a bow and arrow? ”
Inspired by this, Lie's face changed dramatically. He even thought to himself, if he could hunt wild beasts, why not...... Hunt down enemies? He has long envied the Haiyan people of the Baimao tribe, what will happen if he catches them and makes salt for the smelting city? The cities of the white-haired tribe have high walls, and ordinary swords and axes are difficult to endanger them, but if they have bows and arrows, it is different......
Sun Xiuqing didn't know Lie's evil thoughts at this time, but if she knew it in the future, she would regret her irresponsible guidance at the beginning. After not mentioning it for the time being, Lie suddenly said, "One hundred." As long as you leave all the archers behind, I promise you, you can take a hundred men. ”
Sun Xiuqing saw that he was determined to win, and finally reported his request.
"Two hundred. Two hundred young and strong laborers, still according to the principle of voluntariness, as long as they are willing to go with me, you must not hinder them. ”
Lie gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Deal." ”
Seeing Lie angrily and a little excited to leave, Ma Yi secretly gave Sun Xiuqing a thumbs up.
In the following time, people came in groups one after another, recommending themselves to Sun Xiuqing, expressing their desire to go to Guanlongcheng with them. Sun Xiuqing didn't promise them anything at the first time, but just asked Ma Yi to record everyone's names together, saying that they would be notified before leaving, and if they were determined to go, they could be ready.
That night, they made an appointment with Ah Qiu, Xiaoyun and others to meet in Ah Qiang Ah Ying's house. Tong Guò knew what they knew about the residents of the city, and roughly filtered the list of applicants to determine the candidates.
When leaving, Ah Qiu went back first, and the two walked with Xiaoyun for the last mile.
Xiaoyun reluctantly said, "Actually, I really want to go there with the instructor." ”
Sun Xiuqing patted him on the shoulder: "I have always asked you to meet the requirements of our hometown for soldiers, and you must also keep it in mind." No matter where you are, protecting your own people is the first priority, I went to Guanlong City, I can build a new archery team, but if you leave, Metallurgical City will fall into a panic of flying beasts again. ”
Xiao Yun lowered his head and said softly: "I know, I was born and raised here, and I naturally hope that I can always guard this city." But in the future, can I still see you? ”
This time, Ma Yi preemptively said: "Of course, we will come over often." You know, although your patriarch is a profiteer, he still has a lot of good things. ”
Xiao Yun smiled: "Actually, I think Instructor Sun is even more treacherous, didn't he pit the patriarch this time?" ”
Sun Xiuqing didn't feel embarrassed to be exposed, and smiled: "That's also thanks to you, willing to cooperate with me." ”
Xiaoyun saluted her with a standard military salute and replied sonorously: "This is a parting gift for you!" ”
It's a special gift, isn't it?
The next day, they were ready to leave. There were many people who came to see them off, and there were also people like Ah Qiu's grandson, who were ready to go with them with a simple package. Sun Xiuqing had already asked a few people to help in the morning, and notified the people who wanted to leave together, there were 200 young and strong laborers, and one did not ask for much, but many people dragged their families, plus the old and weak women and children, there were more than 300 people.
Lie himself did not come, but only sent someone to say hello. When the man saw that so many people were leaving, he hurriedly ran to report to the patriarch, Lie didn't have the heart to care about that, he was now focusing all his energy on the archery team, and was gathering Xiaoyun and them, asking them to make more bows and arrows and train more archers in the shortest possible time. As for the people Sun Xiuqing took away, let's go, sooner or later he will snatch it back, not from Sun Xiuqing's little fox, but also from elsewhere!
As for the departing troops, what kind of transport will they use? Sun Xiuqing thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to walk.
In fact, they have no other choice.
If one day, a railway is built in this world, and the steam train is whining forward, there are white clouds and pterosaurs in the sky, dinosaurs grazing in the distance of the track, and the train leads through the guò grassland, swamp and forest, connecting two cities facing each other, and the white smoke drifts all the way...... The picture is also quite drunk.
The departing large army, not far from the smelting city, encountered a huge land beast.
The beast had pointed horns on its nose, and it was strangely a shelf made of wood on its back. There were some dried meat, wild fruits and other things on the shelf, and Ma Yi beckoned the giant beast to lie in front of everyone, and turned to everyone: "Let Ah Xi help carry the heavy objects that can't be carried, and it will accompany us back to Guanlong City." The elderly and children can't walk on the road, so they can also rest on Ah Xi's back, but if they can insist, everyone should try to walk by themselves, after all, Ah Xi will also be tired......
They crossed mountains, trekked through meadows, hillsides, lakesides, and jungles, stopping and stopping, encountering flowers, vipers, wild beasts, and other humans, and after more than twenty days and nights, they finally reached the city of Guanlong City.
