Chapter 4: The First Battle of Life
The two sides quickly fought, whether it was for Zhou Tong and the young people who were guarding the mountain, or for the Di Qin soldiers who attacked under the mountain, such a battle had long been accustomed to. In the entire battlefield, the only one who was a little uncomfortable was Li Xin.
The enemy at the bottom of the hill could not see the head, and it was unknown how many there were, but it was clear that if it had not been for this stone wall that choked the throat, the people below would have drowned out the twelve men long ago. No matter how brave Zhou Tong is, even if everyone here is one to ten, it is impossible to stop the pace of the opponent's attack.
Li Xin can not do much, after all, he has not yet practiced bow and arrow, and drawing a bow and shooting arrows in this situation is purely a waste of strength. At this moment, he held a shield in one hand to block the arrow for Zhou Tong in front of him, and the other hand held the knife in his hand, so that when the enemy killed outside the wall, he could fight hard and fulfill his responsibility.
Under the strict protection, the opponent was already getting closer and closer to the stone wall, and the enemies that Zhou Tong and their bows and arrows could shoot were getting fewer and fewer. In addition to the numerical superiority, this is more due to the fact that the weapons and equipment of the two sides are completely different from the same level. After all, to a certain extent, those Di Qin soldiers outside were regular soldiers, even if they wore clothes of different colors, styles, and even hairstyles.
And Zhou Tong's words are more like a chaotic army, the other party uses cowhide shields or thick wooden shields, while their own side uses local materials. Even the arrow clusters are used sparingly, because it is not easy to create some, and the other party can send out a rain of arrows to suppress the defenders of the mountain, and make a judgment.
The only thing that can be said to have an advantage, in addition to the geographical advantage, I am afraid that it is the people, Zhou Tong They did not hesitate to fight, because behind this is their home, and they have no way out. Therefore, the fighting spirit is very resolute and never thinks of retreating.
"Dang!" With a bang, the two sides finally made close contact, and the other party's arrow rain finally stopped, otherwise, they would have hurt their own people at this time. At this time, the real flesh-and-hand battle began, the hardest stage of the battle came, and the real test arrived.
The brothers in front of him had already made a move, and Li Xin stared nervously at the front, highly alert. There was only a wall apart, and he could already see very clearly the appearance of those Di Qin soldiers who were trying to climb up below.
These Qin soldiers were also very fierce, shouting words that Li Xin didn't understand, and occasionally mixed with one or two sentences of Chinese, but they didn't use a ladder, they directly stacked Arhats underneath and stepped on the shoulders of the soldiers. Since the stone wall is only more than three meters high, tall people can basically climb the wall with only two people stacked on top of each other.
Moreover, this stone wall is not a real city wall, due to the limitations of the terrain, the top of this stone wall is flat, and there are no battlements. Basically, if you stand tall enough, you can reach out and touch the outside of the wall. There is only one small door in the entire stone wall, which can accommodate one person to enter and exit, and in wartime, it is directly blocked with large stones in the back.
Therefore, the most important thing is these people, once these people climb the wall, the stone wall will be dangerous, as long as the other party fights for a glimmer of life, the enemies behind will continue to climb up, if you want to fight again, it will not be easy. Zhou Tong, who has experienced many battles, naturally knows this very well, so when the other party begins to climb the wall, Zhou Tong and them will swing their knives and slash over, but if they come out, it must be a knife.
"Jingle ......!" The sword and shield were added, and suddenly a burst of sparks erupted. Zhou Tong's strength is endless, but the person who can be selected as the first to attack the city is not a weak person, the two fought for a while, and Zhou Tong was not able to beat the other party.
"Be careful!" Just as Zhou Tong was in full swing with the other party, Li Xin, who was standing behind him, suddenly shouted. Without thinking about it, the wooden shield in his hand suddenly blocked in front of Zhou Tong's body, only to hear a "du" sound, a black feather arrow was inserted into the wooden shield, and the tail feathers were still shaking.
"It's dangerous!" Zhou Tong was reminded, looked down, and happened to see this scene. It turned out that when he was fighting with the other party, there was a Qin soldier hiding outside the wall, next to the top of the wall to release arrows to sneak attack Zhou Tong, at such a close distance, if Li Xin hadn't found out, I am afraid that he would have died.
Zhou Tong, who was lucky enough to escape, suddenly became angry, shouted, and the knife in his hand slashed at the opponent. Although the other party raised his knife to block it, this Zhou Tong's strength was too great, and the opponent's knife was actually broken in response, and before the person could react, he directly turned his head in a different place. Then, Zhou Tong picked up a spear, leaned over, and stabbed directly into the wall, a miserable scream came out, obviously an unlucky ghost was eliminated by him.
is so fierce, Li Xin is stunned for a while, Zhou Tong, this kid is born to be a fierce general, if he doesn't make a mistake, it is almost impossible for these people in front of him to want to capture the stone wall.
There are also the fierce Qin soldiers who are not afraid of death, and ordinary people can't resist it, so they actually stand on the top of the wall, and under the joint efforts of the big guys, the swords and spears come out, and then the other party is killed on the spot. But for the enemies outside the walls, it is obviously not easy to kill them all with such a number. There were only these twelve people present, and people were not machines, and if it took a long time, it would be unbearable to attack them in such turns.
Li Xin was already feeling a little strained at this time, and he hadn't had such a high-intensity exercise for a long time. On the other hand, because the guys in his hands weigh dozens of pounds together, where can he swing freely all the time, and slowly he only feels weak. The others are much better than him, after all, they have all experienced it.
In addition to using swords and shields, the most important thing for this mountain guard is to roll wood and stones. Although the mountain road was narrow and the space was insufficient, he had prepared some of them, and Li Xin was moving this thing at this time, pushing it down directly from the top of the wall, and just smashed it on the enemy soldiers outside. Although it can not say that it can cause them heavy casualties, it can also cause a lot of trouble.
"Rolling wood and stone are running out of timber!" After throwing a few stones, Li Xin suddenly discovered an important fact and couldn't help but hurry.
"It's okay, the others are almost here, and someone will come to support soon!" Zhou Tong didn't look back, but said without surprise at all.
Hearing this, just as Li Xin wanted to say something, he heard a shout from the mountain road behind. When I turned my head, I saw that on the mountain road not far away, the figures of the villagers had already appeared, and the one who ran at the front and shouted the loudest was not Li Erhei, who else could it be!
"Zhou Tong boy, I'm here! Come on! Kill these thieves and leave nothing behind! Li Erhei held a big knife in his hand, rushed over fiercely, and shouted as he ran. In a blink of an eye, he had already come to Li Xin's eyes, and without saying a word, he jumped on the wall and killed.
With the support of reinforcements, Li Xin and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, except for Zhou Tong, who was still fighting on it, the other eleven people had already been replaced. There were not many people coming, only a hundred, but this was only the first batch, and Li Erhei was the pioneer. The large army is still to come, and as soon as the signal is sent here again, it will inevitably come immediately.
Everyone went up to the stone wall, and the rest of the people went to the neighborhood to carry stones and cut wood, and prepared to hold on. After all, I don't know when the enemy will finish attacking.
"These Qin soldiers are always thinking about the idea of attacking our village, and they don't have a long memory of when they have captured it for so many years. I come here every once in a while, and I don't feel tired of panicking! Just replaced, Li Xin and the others sat in a hidden place in the distance to rest, and one of the young men couldn't help but say.
"Do they come often?" Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but be a little curious, after all, the matter of raising troops and moving swords is not fun, and when the soldiers and horses move, the cost is not small, and in vain, who would do this.
"Isn't it! These Qin soldiers are all from Huayin County under the mountain, which is close to us, so they will come to attack from time to time! In the early years, people were sent to recruit him! However, no one in the village wanted to be controlled by the Hu people, so they attacked directly. Another young man said.
"That's it!" Hearing this, Li Xin somewhat understood.
Huayin County is the area of Huayin City in later generations, but the county seat of Huayin at this time is in the northeast of Huayin City. Since the Yongjia Rebellion, this place has changed hands repeatedly, a few years ago, Fu Jian entered the main Guanzhong, occupied Chang'an, called the emperor, this Huayin County naturally became under the rule of Fu Qin.
In the past few years, although Guanzhong is said to be a little chaotic, but in general it is quite calm, that Fu Jian is an ambitious person, naturally wants to unify the territory, and for these forces and soldiers and civilians who do not surrender, they naturally try their best to make them surrender. If Huashan is here, it can be regarded as under the rule of the county order of Huayin County, and this matter is naturally in his charge.
Speaking of which, thanks to the steepness of Huashan Mountain, and the fact that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has repeatedly made the Qin soldiers in Huayin County suffer. At the same time, compared with other places, Huashan did not pose much of a threat to Guanzhong, especially Chang'an, so it was not forcibly swept away. If it were in other places in Guanzhong, I was afraid that the Fu Qin army would have already killed here and leveled this place.
