Chapter Ninety-Six: Courage
Nafu was extremely annoyed, in his heart, when the heroic Donghu warriors appeared in front of the cowardly Yan people with scimitars in their hands, their correct reaction should be to turn around and run, or abandon their weapons and surrender, but the reality is not like this, he has sent two groups of warriors, but the one who came back is Liao Liao, who has lost nearly twenty lives before and after, he has not seen what the county gate looks like, the nasty archer above the arrow tower is extremely slippery, and he alone has shot four or five soldiers. Is this still the Fengfeng soldier who only dared to cower in the pass when he saw the Donghu warriors before, and didn't even have the courage to fight? At that time, they carried a huge number of captives from Curie Pass in droves, and when they laughed loudly at these fellows, they did not let out a single fart.
Nafo was wrong this time. No matter how cowardly a person is forced to a desperate situation, it is possible to burst out with great courage, which is the same as a person who has reached the juncture of zuihou and has done everything, you have hit the house, resistance is death, not resisting is also death, so what if weishenme does not resist? What's more, after these months of intensive training, the quality of these soldiers has been greatly improved, and Lu Hong has been paid full salary, if they really don't have this job, what can they do?
Fear is only temporary, when the first Donghu people fell in front of them, this fear has been diminished a lot, and when more Donghu people fall, they realize that the Donghu people who are as cruel as the devil in their eyes can also be killed, as long as they dare to raise their knives at them.
Courage is cultivated little by little, and now it is time for these wind supporters to multiply their courage.
When Latobe arrived at the scene of the fierce battle, he immediately stopped Nafu's tactic of adding oil, and it is not clear how many people are resisting after the barricades, so what can such a small number of troops be invested at one time except to send them to death? Nafo is still a little younger after all.
"Tear down the barricades for me first!" Latobe said flatly: "Don't be afraid to spend time, we have time." He said lightly, as long as these obstacles are broken, a single charge of the powerful horse team will be enough to wipe out these resistants, or at least reduce their resistance to the lowest point.
"Nafu, use a rocket to burn that arrow tower for me!" Pointing to the arrow tower not far away, it is really a veritable arrow tower now, and the outside wall is densely inserted with arrows.
Lu Hong lay on the arrow tower, and when he saw the rockets lit up, he immediately knew that something was wrong, the previous kid who didn't even have hair on his lips was a tendon, but the gray-haired guy was a veteran, and he took his own death hole as soon as he came, this arrow tower was wooden, and it was forbidden to burn there.
His hand snapped the trigger of the crossbow on the bed beside him, and with the other hand slowly turned the base, maybe kill this old fellow, and the battle could be turned around.
With a snatch, the first rocket hit the arrow tower, and the dry slab wall suddenly burned to the ground, and then, more and more rockets fell on the arrow tower, Lu Hong was unmoved, carefully turned the bed crossbow, and aimed at Latobe.
One chance only!
Latobe also squinted at the arrow tower, listened to Nafu's words, the guy above the arrow tower is definitely a veteran, there should not be many such people in Fufeng, when he saw the fire raging, there was still no movement on the arrow tower, his heart couldn't help but be a little surprised, just in a moment, through the blazing fire, Latobe saw something that made him creepy, three arrows flashed in the firelight, and next to the arrow, there was a figure moving.
"Bed crossbow!" He screamed in his heart, he had seen this thing.
Without thinking, he planted the horse with an upside-down onion, and at the same time he fell from the horse, he also pulled Nafu beside him, and pulled the young man off the horse, and almost at the same time as he fell from the horse, a sharp howl sounded, and from the blazing firelight, three crossbow arrows were like the sickles of a dead snake, and lightning came.
The power of the bed crossbow is far from being comparable to the bow and arrow, but it is a pity that Latobe reacted too quickly, and the three arrows swept past the position of him and Nafu just now, and killed the three guards behind the two of them in unison. Nafu jumped up from the ground, looked at the three huge bed crossbow arrows behind him, looked at the blood on the arrow shaft and went down the pole, and couldn't help but gasp, if it weren't for the patriarch in front of him today, I was afraid that today next year would be my death day.
Looking at the jumping warhorse, Nafo did not hesitate to draw his scimitar, and cut off the horse's head with a single sword, and Latobe got up from the ground, and the fall just now was too embarrassing, and his body was covered with dirt, and even his neatly combed gray hair was dyed some black at this time.
Standing up, he was furious, looking at the arrow tower that had been burned into a torch, he pulled out his scimitar, and shouted: "Tear down the barricades, attack it, and kill all of them if you don't leave a single one."
Some Donghu people took out ropes, put on iron grips, threw them, hooked some debris of the barricades, turned around and patted their horses and ran, and in the bang, a lot of things were dragged out of the barricades, and after repeating several times, the barricades were already a lot shorter, and a whole layer thinner.
When Lu Hong jumped down from the arrow tower, many places on his body were already on fire, even his beard was burning, and while slapping the flames in embarrassment, he shouted in his heart that it was a pity, these three arrows only killed three inconsequential people, and the two commanders didn't catch any of them, and the old guy was too alert.
Zheng Xiaoyang pounced on him and helped him extinguish the flames on his body, but after a period of scrambling, Lu Hong had already turned into a black-faced Zhang Fei. Looking at the barricades that were collapsing at a very fast speed, Lu Hong shouted, "Gather the soldiers, all retreat, retreat to the gate of the county government, and form a formation."
"Naha, there's a bed crossbow over there, bring it to me. Inside the gates!" Lu Hong ordered one after another.
In the barricade, there were more than 100 soldiers and two or three hundred young men, and the soldiers were arranged on the steps of the gate to form a formation, and all the young men were allowed to guard the wall, which was a little high, so they moved tables and chairs from the county office, and put them in the back, so that the young men could stand on top of them, but if anyone climbed over the wall, it was enough to stab them out with a spear.
The barricades were quickly swept away, and Latobe looked at the Fufeng soldiers lined up in formation at the gate of the county office, his eyes couldn't help narrowing, and the handle of the spear stretched out, and more than a hundred soldiers formed a good gun forest. But there are fewer people, and it looks a little thinner.
"Nafford, you're in charge of attacking the wall! Climbing up, they gathered the soldiers at the gate, and the guards on the wall were all ordinary people, who could not afford to fight!" Latobe commanded.
"Yes, Patriarch!"
"You, lead someone to storm the door, be careful, don't hit it hard!" Latobe pointed to another fighter beside him.
"Others, bow and arrow!"
The sound of arrows roaring suddenly sounded, and with the sound of arrows, a Donghu soldier waved his bent horse, and rushed forward, and behind him, several war horses followed closely.
Hundreds of spears stretched out into the air together, shaking desperately, scattering the falling arrows, Latobe wanted this action, so that when the war horse charges, it will not turn because of the fear of the spear, and the soldiers on guard will see the power of the war horse charge, their hearts will be timid, as soon as they show their cowardice, they will involuntarily retreat, and this thin formation will be broken immediately.
The soldiers at the gate did give way, but as soon as the soldiers in the first two rows flashed, Latobe saw the bed crossbow.
The scream sounded again, three bed crossbows flew out, and several war horses that charged along the street made no choice, flashed, and watched the thick bed crossbows fly, three war horses fell to the ground, and the knights were thrown out immediately, one of them was unlucky, sliding all the way down the street, and actually slipped in front of the Fufeng soldiers, and when he was dizzy and wanted to get up, Naha, who was standing in front, stepped forward with an arrow step, and a spear in his hand poked him through the heart, and the gun shook, and when he retreated, Behind him was already thunderous cheers.
Several more horses pounced, and Latobe's face was so heavy that it could drip water, and the little wind helped to even have several bed crossbows, which he never expected.
Lu Hong didn't have a little joy in his heart, the bed crossbow was wound too slowly, it could be stopped for a while, but it couldn't be stopped for a lifetime. This side has just stabilized, but the other side of the wall is in danger again, "Zheng Xiaoyang, you stabilize this side for me!" Lu Hong roared, and with a few of his own soldiers, he pounced on the other side of the wall.
There were already several Donghu soldiers who had jumped over the wall, and around them, there were several young corpses, these people were a little slow when the enemy climbed the wall, and they had already crossed over to these Donghu soldiers, wielding their knives and killing them, at this time these Donghu soldiers were waving their knives and pounced on the young men who were near the left.
Lu Hong arrived at the right time, and entangled these Donghu soldiers with several of his own personal soldiers. Wu Kai stood in front of the hall, although he was holding a knife in his hand, his hands and feet were shaking, the sound of weapons clashing, and the splash of blood made this county commander who was good at business almost unable to move his footsteps.
Seeing that Lu Hong had already killed one Donghu soldier, but two more jumped in, Wu Kai trembled for a while, and he didn't know where the courage came from, brandishing a big knife, and roaring: "Left and right is a death, kill one Lao Tzu and earn one!" As soon as he lifted his robe, he actually pounced on it and met a Donghu man. The officials behind him, seeing the county order pounce, also plucked up their courage, picked up the spear on the ground, and rushed up with a roar.
Seeing Wu Kai rushing towards him, Donghu Bing, who had just climbed over the wall, couldn't help but laugh, looking at his opponent like that, he was simply a useless scholar, and slashed Wu Kai's neck with a contemptuous knife, he wanted to cut off Wu Kai's head with a knife, and the blood that splattered up would inevitably make these people in the courtyard scared half to death.
This knife was cut into the air, not because his knife skills were not good, but when Wu Kai himself saw the light of the knife, his legs were weak, he was unsteady on his feet, and he actually fell to the ground, but he avoided this knife by accident. Donghu people fell short with a knife, stunned, and did not turn around, but several officials behind Wu Kai raised their spears together, stabbed fiercely, three spears in unison, the Donghu soldier screamed miserably, with the spear withdrawn and fell to the spot, when he fell forward, the bulging goldfish eyes happened to be an eye to eye with Wu Kai's eyes, Wu Kai simply rolled his eyes, and fainted.
