Volume 1: The Wind Rises and the End of Qingping Chapter 24: The Fall (I)
"Tiger in the Forest" Lao Du Ke is a well-known figure on the green forest road in Shandong, and his reputation is not earned for nothing, but by relying on a knife and a gun, and licking blood with the head of the knife. So even if the situation is extremely dangerous now, and the official army is rushing fiercely, he doesn't see any cowardice, but it stimulates his ferocity, watching Suo Chao swing his axe, he raised the knife in his hand, and with a roar, he pulled out to meet it.
The leaders of the two respective teams collided in one place on the mountain road first, the swords and axes intersected, making a loud noise, and then they bounced off, Suo Chao fell to the ground heavily, and Du Hu was chopped by an axe head-on and his steps were scattered and retreated, and he stabilized his body after seven or eight steps, and his eyes had changed, is the ability of this officer and army general still above himself?
However, Du Hu's rush to fight in the vanguard gave his brothers encouragement, and he immediately saw that the other minions also roared and swung their knives to kill, and killed Suo Chao, who had just stabilized his figure. Seeing that a few knives and guns were about to touch his body, Suo Chao suddenly shouted, holding the axe in both hands, with a strong waist on his waist, and dancing the pole and long axe like a whirlwind, not only hitting the weapons in front of him, but also taking advantage of the situation to slash the two people, and the two minions were directly killed in front of him.
With two screams, the other minions who were still waiting to step forward shrank back in fright, and they realized that the officers and generals in front of them were amazing, and they were far from being able to deal with them.
Finding that his morale that he had finally been inspired by it was frustrated, Du Hu was even more anxious, and immediately shouted: "Give me arrows!" At the same time, he pounced on it again, and the knife in his hand slashed straight at the opponent's shoulders and chest like a splash of wind, and at the same time, his foot also kicked out violently, straight to his lower body.
As soon as Suo Chao's horizontal axe was raised, he had already blocked all these knives, and then twisted his waist again, and also dodged the sneak attack of the next plate, and then took advantage of the situation to counterpress, and once again pushed Du Hu, who had exhausted his strength, to fall backwards in embarrassment. At the same time, the officers and soldiers who followed him up the mountain finally arrived, and their morale was even stronger at first sight, and they joined the battle group brandishing their swords and guns, and fought directly with the more than 100 minions.
Don't look at the number of them is only thirty percent of the opponent, but they are completely fearless, only attacking and not defending, and they actually pressed those minions to go up, and actually killed more than a dozen thieves who dared to resist on the spot.
After discovering that the front of his house was not the opponent of the official army at all, Du Hu was really a little surprised: "Where did these guys come from?" In the past, there were no such powerful characters in Yuncheng County, could it be that he came for the birth gang? For a moment, he regretted the decision he had made out of greed.
But now it was impossible for him to turn back, so he could only shout: "Go back up the mountain, go!" As he spoke, he saw the opportunity to slash three times in a row, and killed several soldiers who were trying to grab it so much that he retreated, and then led his subordinates to retreat straight to the gate of the cottage. In a situation where the frontal battle is far inferior to the opponent, the only way to defend effectively is to use the terrain.
It's just that in this way, the morale of the Hutou Zhai group has been hit even more, and some people have directly turned around and ran towards the cottage, which is not the so-called retreat.
Shen Laoqi, who was anxious because of the collapse of the wall and the fire in the village, also saw the unfavorable situation below, and he couldn't care about fighting the fire at the moment, so he immediately held the bow in his hand and shouted to the minions around him: "Brothers, it's not too late to fight the fire with me to fight the officers and soldiers first, and then answer the big brother!" As he spoke, the man had already rushed to the gate of the village, and with a wave of his hands, he had already shot several sharp arrows like meteors chasing the moon towards the officers and soldiers who were chasing him below.
Those officers and soldiers no longer have the same strict defense system as before, and the shield army has long been left behind, and when facing this sudden, steady and ruthless arrow, it is really a little unguardable, and four people fell to the ground with arrows at the moment, and the footsteps of others also stopped. In this way, Du Hu was given the opportunity to distance himself, and he took three steps and two steps to lead the people back to the hill and joined the others.
"What a point, tell the brothers to take the rest of the things and prepare to fight with the officers and soldiers!" As soon as Du Hu returned to the top, he yelled at Shen Laoqi.
In fact, there was no need for him to order, Shen Laoqi had already made preparations, and when he saw the officials and soldiers rushing over, he ordered loudly: "Put stones and smash them down." Shoot the arrows at the one in the middle of the armor, that's their leader! "He is worthy of being a marksman, and he sees the target at a glance.
The officers and soldiers who wanted to rush up were less in number after all, and in the face of the thieves above who kept throwing arrows and stones, their way forward was almost completely blocked, and it was difficult to go up. Two people tried to take the risk of rushing up, but they were shot by arrows, fell and were stoned to death on the spot.
In this way, the two sides froze on the spot, although the official army was only forty steps away from the gate of Hutou Village, but in the face of the strict defense of the thieves, it was difficult to get close.
Suo Chao looked at the enemy who was close at hand but couldn't rush over, he was in a hurry, and immediately shouted: "Is there no way?" What about your arrows? Shoot me back! ”
"General, we've all run out of arrows just now...... the soldier next to him replied helplessly. In order to destroy the wall of the cottage in one fell swoop, they had just shot the whole pot of twenty or so arrows in one go, so they couldn't fight back at this time, so they could only shrink behind a raised stone.
Just when Suo Chao felt irritable, there was another shout behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that those village soldiers and even many people had rushed over, but their team was scattered, and they didn't look very murderous.
When these people rushed up the mountain in high spirits, they saw such a stalemate, and many people suddenly stopped and looked at Suo Chao and the others with anticipation. Just now they were below to see with their own eyes how the elite soldiers of these Daimyo Mansion went up the mountain in one go, and now they naturally hope that they can take themselves into the cottage.
A few people even shouted: "General Suo, the thief's lair is already in front of you, why don't you attack it?" ”
"The thieves are defending to the death, how can they attack it!" Lei Heng saw the predicament in front of him at a glance, and immediately glared at him and scolded. That's why everyone doesn't dare to say more.
Sun Tu had already run to the forefront at this time, and he also opened his eyes to carefully observe the movements of the enemy above, and found that those thieves occupied high points one by one, and the bows, arrows and stones were all aimed at the mountain road, which was really difficult to attack. If you were really desperate, you could have killed it, but the price you paid was too great.
"It's okay for others to say, but one of the thieves has an extremely good first shooting technique, even if I'm afraid, I can't rush through!" Suo Chao was discussing countermeasures with his subordinates in a whisper, and these words also fell into Sun Tu's ears.
This made him immediately look for the target carefully, and soon, he fixed his eyes on the man who was constantly running in the gate of the wall, giving orders, and found that this person was still missing, it was the thief who had fought with him the night before.
"It turned out to be him!" Sun Tu identified his target, and then took off the well-made compound bow on his back, and then mounted a feather arrow. When he entered the Ring Middle Realm last night to take out the diesel, he also brought out a composite bow that looked quite suitable for the competition, and only wrapped some hemp rope around the bow to make it less conspicuous.
At this time, after visually measuring the distance, he felt that he was seven or eight points sure that an arrow would hit the target, so he no longer hesitated, and immediately prepared to start.
After slowly taking two deep breaths, Sun Tu had already pulled the bowstring. The bow made of alloy was steady, and there was no trembling at all, and with the help of the fixed pulley, the bowstring was quickly pulled to the maximum, and this did not make him bother.
Whether it is stability, accuracy, or the perfect use of strength, this compound bow after a thousand years far surpasses the bows and arrows of the Song Dynasty today. At this time, Sun Tu drew his bow in the crowd, and he was already aiming at the target in front of him, and while exhaling a breath of turbidity, his fingers loosened, and with a buzzing sound, the arrow flew straight out like lightning, flying straight towards the gate of Hutou Village.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of steps passed by, and Shen Laoqi, who was ordering his subordinates to deal with it carefully at any time, suddenly felt the danger, and hurriedly raised his eyes to dodge, but it was too late. The feathered arrow pierced his throat, and with great force, it rushed forward again, and it pierced the back of his neck, and fell backwards with his body, but he lost his life before he could even scream......
