Chapter 167: The Attack of the Fangs (Part II)
Behind the earthen wall, looking at the more and more black pressure fangs gathered outside, watching them howl and scream, and the bone spears were lined up, Xie Si'an's face changed color.
Luo Minman obviously came to break through this Jinsha Fort.
"Maybe it's a flood, a mudslide or something like that, and the stored food is washed away or buried, and they won't be able to survive the winter before they come in droves." Xie Si'an's face was grim.
Lu Ning nodded, in fact, from a certain point of view, why hasn't the barbarian of the poor mountains and rivers been struggling for his right to live?
But this barren land has limited resources, and between the barbarians and the natives, you can only live and die.
Sighing, he stretched out his hand and took off the bow and arrow on his back, which he had taken off from the soldiers when he had just climbed the wall.
In the earthen fort, both men and women have been organized, the men climb the wall, the women are ready to take turns to send wood and stone arrows, etc., if there is a gap in the men, the women will fill it.
Even children in their seven, eight, and teenage years are under the wall, waiting to be called.
Everyone knows that if this battle is lost, the entire earthen fort will be bloody, and no one will be spared.
Tang Yuniang was wearing a fox fur and standing beside Lu Ning, now on the earthen wall, she is just a woman, but I am afraid that after the barbarians start to attack the city, there will be more and more women on the earthen wall.
Yang Shi and Luo Zhen also pulled out their waist knives, and looked at the more and more black pressure fangs not far away with solemn faces.
"Did you go to Banshu to deliver a letter?" Lu Ning asked.
"I didn't have time, this time the fang came suddenly, and it was winter again...... The sentinels in Hexi may have slackened and been killed......" Xie Si'an gritted his teeth, "but the villages in the east can hear our gongs, and they will definitely go to Banzhou for help." ”
Lu Ning nodded, flipped the longbow, swished, and shot an arrow outward, testing the bowstring strength, angle, etc., and then had a bottom in his heart.
The people next to him were all stunned, and Yang Shi pondered in his heart, the so-called martial arts of this General Academy of Literature also relied on the benefits of the Qi army's armor, right? can only fight a good fight, and now he is surrounded by a wild man, is he frightened?
"Whew!" With little warning, the fangs roared wildly, and a tidal wave rushed towards the earthen fort.
Under the white sky of the fish's belly, these black pressure and fangs were like being swept by the evil ghosts that had just been sprinkled into the dust, bringing up bursts of yellow dust and sweeping the sky.
Tang Yuniang shuddered, Lu Ning turned his head and smiled at her, and said, "Don't be afraid, they have a lot of black mud on their bodies, and they are all barefoot, and they can shake up dust the most." He added: "If you look carefully, aren't there many fangs with red feathers?" And all of them are tall, and they are all leading the way and screaming, it should be the little bosses, wait closer, I will shoot and see, guess whether it is right or not. ”
Tang Yuniang tried her best to look into the distance, but it was far away, and the loess was all over the sky, where could she see clearly whether the fangs were weeds or feathers on their heads?
On the side of Lu Ning and Tang Yuniang, Xu Liang and Xu Dali also pulled out their waist knives, listening to Lu Ning's words, the two of them looked at each other, they were a little helpless, the new master, I don't know how urgent the situation is, this is still a leisurely brag to tease their housewife, the former uncle, Si Wenwen, but the new master, the personality is completely different.
However, the new owner is really bold, if the former uncle is scared, his face would have been scared.
"Medium!" Lu Ning snorted and suddenly let go of the bowstring.
A tall brute who rushed to the front suddenly fell to the ground.
The fangs ran very fast, and they reached the range of arrows in an instant, but most of the local soldiers knew that they were two pounds, and they were afraid that they would not have any lethality if they shot so far, but they didn't want to, and arrows suddenly flew out of the array, and some fangs fell in response, and they all looked at Lu Ning in surprise.
The beautiful girl with the snow-white fox Qiu Dayu on Lu Ning's side was particularly eye-catching, and many local soldiers were wondering if it was the incomparably noble Qi Ren General Courtyard when they shot arrows, Xie Si'an yelled, "Shoot!" "The drums sounded, and it was very high.
Immediately, arrows rained down, and some of the fangs fell down with arrows.
However, the barbarians are numerous and besieged on all sides, and the men of the earthen fort village, over fourteen or fifteen years old, under sixty years old, are only three or four hundred people, and if they want to defend the city on all sides, where can a round of arrow rain be formed? If it weren't for the fact that more than 100 servants of the Yang family and the Luo family had become strong reinforcements, I am afraid that they would not be able to stop the pace of the brutal impact at all.
Rao was like this, and the fangman soon arrived under the wall of the earthen fort, and some of the fangs shot arrows at the earthen fort, and some of the fangs threw bone spears at them, and some of the barbarians shook the vines, and the stones were tied to them, and they smashed them again and again.
On the city wall, the screams of the native soldiers sounded from time to time.
Fang Barbarian does not have a suitable tool to climb the city, otherwise, it is this Golden Sands Fort, as long as Fang Barbarian attacks in a big way, he will definitely not be able to keep it.
However, some fangs, bare-handed, barefoot, climbed the earthen wall, pulled the weeds, stepped on the gaps, and the speed was also very fast, especially in some sections, the native soldiers were temporarily suppressed by the arrows and spears of the fangs, and it was inevitable that some of the fangs quickly climbed the earthen wall, and were poked down by the earthy swords and spears, and two or three jumped up.
The only wonder is the earthen fort on the west side where Lu Ning is located, which is the direction of the most crazy frontal attack by the fangs.
But on the contrary, under the earthen wall, there are some tall fangs with red bird feathers on their heads, and those who have bows and arrows and throwing spears have already been shot down.
Xie Si'an shouted at the defenders and went to other walls to support, but in his heart, he was extremely frightened.
Yang Shi and Luo Zhen couldn't see anything, but they were afraid that there would be turbulent waves in their hearts.
Because even if I didn't pay attention to it at first, I slowly found that almost all of the key people under the earthen wall were shot over by this Wen Zongyuan.
Tang Yuniang's beautiful eyes were like waves, and she blinked frequently, and her pretty face was surprised and difficult to hide.
Xu Liang wanted to slap himself in the face, but he slandered the new master in his heart, but he didn't want the new master and the master mother to say, it was obviously a very natural statement, and it had nothing to do with what to tease the master mother.
Xu Dali smirked, "Master, you are so powerful!" ”
Lu Ning shook his head, there are not many arrows in the earthen fort, and it is impossible for these arrows to be used for himself, when the arrows are always used up, if you can't wait for reinforcements from Banzhou, the earthen fort will break the city, if the city is really broken, these are surrounded in all directions, and it is difficult to say whether you can kill them or not, and what state capital you can sneak into and retreat with confidence are completely different things.
"Whew!" In the midst of the fangs, the horns of the bull were suddenly blown, and then, I saw the fangs besieging the earthen walls suddenly receding like a tide.
A tall fangman in the distance stared at Lu Ning for a while, turned around, and burrowed into the woods.
The rest of the fangs, howling, faded into the woods.
Xie Si'an, let out a long breath, turned his head and saw the north, in the direction of the nearest village, there was faint black smoke rising into the air, and he couldn't help sighing, "Changzhai, it seems to be over!" ”
Everyone was silent, but obviously there was nothing they could do, and they would only die in vain if they unearthed the fort to help.
"I'll take a look!" Lu Ning said suddenly.
Everyone was shocked, and Luo Zhenshi hurriedly said: "The main courtyard is still sitting in this fort, so as not to go back and return!" ”
Yang Shi said: "The outside world is extremely dangerous, think twice!" ”
His wording is less refined than Luo Zhen's wording, but I don't know if it is deliberate.
Lu Ning had already slid down the wooden ladder, although he couldn't avoid the fate of the neighboring villages being looted, but he still wanted to see what he could do, and it would be good to rescue a few more creatures.
Later history books recorded that the casualties of these natives were just cold numbers, but they were real flesh and blood people in front of their eyes.
