Synchronous reading on mobile phones
No one knew the tremendous pressure that these Khitan soldiers had to endure every step they took, and the feeling of hovering between life and death could only be felt by those who were really in it, so real and so illusory.
War is like this, no one will know whether they will have a future, only living in the present can be regarded as living.
Ten steps later, there was still darkness around, there was no dead silence like before, maybe those "arrows" hiding in the darkness had long since escaped, or maybe these ten steps were too long, and the hearts of these Khitan soldiers couldn't help but relax.
One of the Khitan leaders reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, because the sweat had blocked his vision, and he could see that the expression on his face was no longer as nervous as Fang Cai.
Perhaps, he felt that he was far away from death, and at this moment, he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
And just as the scimitar it had just raised had not fallen, it was in the unknown darkness.
Death loomed.
Phew-
The shadow moves, the sound comes.
Slightly different from before, the last time five feathered arrows came one after the other, this time a whole ten feathered arrows were fired at the same time; The last time was behind me, and this time, in all directions!
Ten feather arrows aimlessly shuttled between more than twenty Khitan men, and the Khitan battle formation ten steps later had already unconsciously moved closer to each other, and the dense standing position made none of the ten feather arrows miss, and one of the arrows was shooting on the arm raised by the Khitan leader, and the pain in his heart made him no longer able to hold the scimitar in his hand.
The scimitar fell to the ground, smashing silently on the heavy dead leaves, and the sudden ten feathered arrows and the heavy and suppressed dead silence had already completely left behind the remaining caution and calmness in the hearts of the Khitan people.
No one cared about the comrades who fell to the ground, but all ran and fled like crazy in front of them, maybe they would not be afraid to face several times their real enemy, but they did not have the courage to face this unknown existence, especially at the moment, knowing the existence of the enemy around them, but in a state of ignorance of it, the irrepressible fear burst out from the bottom of everyone's heart, and these Khitan soldiers who only knew how to fight on horseback did not know how to face it.
And when the Khitan soldiers were scurrying, in the seemingly endless darkness, the arrows of death were already ready to be attacked, and one after another feather arrows continued to attack from the surroundings, although there was no momentum like ten thousand arrows and storms, but it was better than the arrows, even in such darkness, each arrow was as accurate as having eyes, and the arrows must be the key point.
In just a short moment, more than 20 Khitan soldiers fell to the ground and died within a radius of 100 steps.
......
Neither Di Ran nor Jeruzara dreamed of what was happening in front of them, so that the suspicious Jeruzara could not restrain his impatient heart, so that Di Rin had no leisure to pay attention to chasing the elite cavalry of the Tang army that burned down his granary and thousands of livestock and attacked him.
Because at this moment, there is only one thing they see in their eyes: the gate of Luancang City is wide open, and the back of the Kedu is rapidly disappearing.
However, for the defenders guarding Luancang, the already tall and mighty heroic posture of the main general Kedu is even more invincible like the Nine Heavens God of War.
At this time, the Xi soldiers who were watching the battle on the Luancang city wall had already gathered their eyes in the distance, because there was their own main general, because there was a Tang army that was once invincible, but now it was defeated and fled, that was the Tang army that turned the Khitan people upside down, that was the Tang army that even the Khitans were helpless, and now, under their noses, they were like lost dogs.
How can this not be exciting? And how can you not make people proud?
However, no one would have expected that in the distance, a Khitan army of 20,000 people was looking greedily at this place, like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time was looking at a fat lamb ferociously.
Perhaps the Xi people have not heard of the common saying about the praying mantis and the cicada and the yellow finch that is widely circulated among the Han people, but now, the Khitan people will really demonstrate this saying in practical actions.
"Jeremi!" Di Yan seemed to have long forgotten his hatred with Tang Jun, and his eyes were full of endless greed at this time.
Jeruzara stared intently at the long-famous Luancang in the distance, and there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes in addition to greed.
"To attack or not to attack, as long as you say a word!" Although Di Yuan asked like this, he had already made up his mind in his heart, most of the livestock in his tribe were killed and injured, and he was suffering from nothing to survive the winter, so how could he let go of the fat meat in front of him?
After staring for a long time, Jeruzara slowly withdrew his gaze, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "At this time, our clan is forming an alliance with the Xi clan to attack Tang, and attacking Luancang at this time, I am afraid that it will ...... It's not right! ”
The last three words of Jeruzarat sounded so hesitant and unsure that even he felt so pale that he himself felt that these three words were so pale.
"It's been two months since the attack on Tang, not only has there been no progress, but it has been dragged out by the Tang army. Not to mention ......"
Before Di Yin finished speaking, he saw Jeruzara wave his big hand, and then smiled: "Attack!" ”
These words don't need to be said by Di Yuan, who is as shrewd as Jeruzara, not to mention that this alliance is a conspiracy, a game, a game that only belongs to himself and Ge Twist and Nari, and at the moment of the beginning of the game, Xi is destined to be just a chess piece, a chess piece destined to be abandoned.
For Jeruzara, the attack on Luancang is only a matter of time, but now God has advanced this opportunity by a few days, not to mention that once he misses this opportunity and wants to attack Luancang, then he will inevitably pay several times the number of troops today, and will also pay several times the casualties of today.
As long as the person who can survive does not leave Luancang for a day, then attacking Luancang by himself will always be an unpredictable and tragic battle.
Now, the forgetful ones have long forgotten their duty, and for Jeruzara, such an opportunity may well have been the only one.
"If you attack, you will be momentary!" Jeruzara pulled out his scimitar and laughed, because he knew that Luancang, which had taken more than ten years of Khitan work, would eventually be included in his bag today.
