Volume II, Chapter 19, The Qiang People Who Went Forward
Gu Qiqi Niang found that the city walls to the south and east were very quiet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuye hurriedly explained: "Girl, these thieves are slippery! Don't look at the fact that they are only attacking the western and northern walls now, but everyone knows that as long as we draw back the people on the two sides of the wall, they will definitely turn to attack the weak eastern and southern walls. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, seeing that the enemy was only attacking two of the walls, he hurriedly transferred the soldiers on the other city walls. Not to mention, Uncle Fu and Sister Shan have not returned, and now is the time when the troops in Shanyin County are the weakest, and we can't mess up our battles anymore. ”
What Yuye said is the truth, there are only 500 soldiers in the county seat of Shanyin County now, and even these 500 people have not enough armaments in their hands. There was not enough armor, there were no bows and arrows, not even sabers, only spears were enough. Even if Zhang Chip, the new county commander, is very capable, but in such a short period of time, when the previous county commander was killed in battle and the main book and the county secretary were vacant, Zhang Chip only summoned 600 people.
This is all the troops in Shanyin County except for the Gu family.
As for the Gu family, it is said that there are nearly 3,000 personal soldiers, but in fact, in order to transport back enough bamboo in the shortest possible time, Fu Da personally led the team and took away most of the Gu family. In other words, now, there are only 500 Gu family troops in Shanyin County.
That is to say, a thousand soldiers, 600 people, plus the old and weak women and children in Shanyin County, this is the current total strength of Shanyin County.
At this time, Gu Qiqi Niang heard his brother's slightly sharp voice.
Gu Yu is thirteen years old this year, and he has not yet begun to change his voice, and the child's unique voice makes his words more and more conspicuous: "What about people? Where did it all go? Why not protect me! I'm the loyal uncle of the imperial court! Come! Come! Come on! ”
In Gu Yu's eyes, he is a loyal uncle, and he has the highest grade in Shanyin County, so everyone should give priority to protecting him. This is also the idea that his little servants have instilled in him in the days after he was knighted. Therefore, Gu Yu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him saying this at all.
He believes that the three hundred veterans were specially given to him by Gu Shan and Gu Hai.
Gu Qiqi Niang only felt blushing.
And the jade leaf and the golden petal are even cooler from head to toe.
They knew better than anyone what a serious blow Gu Yu's words were to morale!
Unfortunately, they didn't even have time to be depressed, because the Qiang began to attack the city.
Watching the barbarians with headbands on their heads, feathers on their headbands, and oil paint on their faces jumping onto the city wall one after another, Lily couldn't help but scream: "Why, why did they come up so easily?" What about ladders? How I didn't see the ladder. ”
Lily had heard that when attacking a city, she had to bring a ladder.
Narcissus said angrily: "What a ladder! This is San'in County, not Shenjing! If it is a city wall as high as Shenjing, it is natural to use a cloud ladder. How high is the wall of San'in County? Wouldn't it come up when you stepped on someone's shoulder?! ”
Narcissus said this, but he didn't stop for a moment in his hands.
He was helping Gu Qiqi Niang with crossbow arrows.
Just like Jin Ban'er said, some people are born marksmen, and Gu Qiqiniang is probably one of them. Although Gu Qiqi Niang is young and has little strength, the three-in-command crossbow is in his hand, and he really points where to fight. In just a few moments, Narcissus had already seen three people with arrows in their eyes. One fell off the wall on the spot, and the other two were stabbed with spears by the soldiers on the wall.
To be honest, when the soldiers on the city wall and the soldiers of the Gu family heard Gu Yu's words, they didn't scold in their hearts, and their morale did suffer a big blow. But who let Gu Qiqi Niang's crossbow arrow arrive soon?
If it was just one, these pro-soldiers might think it was a coincidence, but what if it was a series of three arrows?
If it's a coincidence every time, it's too rebellious!
The first thing that found out was that it was not the people of Shanyin County who were guarding the city on the city wall, but the Qiang people who attacked the city.
This is a Qiang tribe of 600 people, of whom less than 200 are young and strong. And those who can rush to the city wall at the first time are all well-known men in the tribe!
At the beginning, when the leader of the Qiang people saw the first person who fell from the arrow, he thought it was an accident. But when one after another tribal warriors fell from the city wall, the Qiang leaders were also annoyed:
"It's spicy! Even the top of the wall that is as high as the idea will fall! Get up for Ge Laozi! ”
However, he was disappointed.
It was still the old man next to the Qiang leader, and it was also the elders in their tribe who noticed that something was wrong first.
"Well, that's a crossbow bolt!"
"What?!"
The leader of the Qiang people also reacted.
Crossbow arrows are different from bows and arrows, and crossbow arrows are far more penetrating than bows and arrows.
"Xiahou swallowing eyes" is just a plot in the novel after all. In reality, a person either reacts quickly enough to flash an oncoming bolt or knock it down with a weapon, or is shot in the eye by a bolt and becomes incapacitated. The kind of blind one eye is lucky, unlucky, or the strength of the crossbow arrow is not lost, then there is only one result:
The bolt passes through the eyeball, destroying the brain directly.
These crossbow arrows shot by Gu Qiqi Niang had a ghostly aura to help hide the aura, and it was impossible to dodge them at all. And the distance between the roof where Gu Qiqi Niang is located and the city walls on both sides is thirty and twenty-five steps respectively, which are within the range of crossbow arrows, and they are the most suitable distance for crossbow arrows to play a role!
The leader of the Qiang people is angry!
He never imagined that this flock of two-legged sheep would become so difficult to gnaw!
And!
Didn't the group of veterans in Shanyin County leave Shanyin County and go southeast? If it weren't for the fact that 3,000 people had gone, if it weren't for the emptiness of San'in County, they would have chosen this time to attack San'in County?
Those who can stay calm in anger are only a few people after all.
Whether it is the Di people, the Jin people, or the Qiang people, they have never treated the Han people as people. If the opponent was a Di or a Tatar, the Qiang leader must have ordered a retreat.
But this city is the city of the Han people!
It's a herd of two-legged sheep defending the city!
If they retreat today, I'm afraid that their tribe will immediately become a joke in the neighborhood!
Maybe one day after tomorrow, their tribe will be swallowed up!
The intense shame burned like a fire burning the blood of the Qiang people, and without anyone giving an order, they rushed to the city wall of Shanyin County.
It is still the west and north walls,
It's still the northwest corner.
Rise from where you fall!
This is the belief of the Qiang people!
Even the leader of the Qiang people rushed ahead and rushed to the city wall.
