Chapter 231: The First Battle of Tongguan (2)
Lu Ziji changed into a broadsword and came to the front of the array, lined up in a row with a shield soldier, the shield was half a zhang high, although it was wide but relatively light, and the defensive power was also quite amazing.
"What's your name?" Advancing forward together, Lu Ziji asked the shield soldier.
"General Yu, the villain Song Qi, is the seventh in the family, so my father took such a name!" Song Qi held the shield and pushed forward, without the slightest drag of mud and water, stepping on the same rhythm of steps, and went up with the shield.
"I see, our task in this battle is arduous! If you can't slack off, give me the shield! I am your shield! Lu Ziji followed the pace of the shield soldiers, half-bent forward, but his white robe and armor were more conspicuous among the black armor army.
"What did the general say, from the first day when we were sword and shield soldiers, we either turned into swords and cut through thorns, or turned into shields to block the wind and rain! We are not afraid of what lies ahead! Song Qi said proudly, and at this time, he could already hear a lot of wailing and crying, as well as disordered footsteps.
"The Black Armor Army is all sergeants like you, we will not be defeated! I just don't want any more black-armored sergeants to die! But I know it's just a delusion, and there will be blood when there is war! Lu Ziji looked up and looked ahead, and what came at him were the innocent captives who were rushed into battle, they were unarmed, and they could only use their bodies to block them.
"The general said and laughed, before going to the battlefield, the villain thought about it, there are six brothers and three sisters in the family, I was originally arrested to join the army, and then the princess led us, let us open up the wasteland and farm, and then continue to train, read and write, and then become a fire captain of the Black Army, these are the honors of my Song Qi, even if I die on the battlefield, there are several brothers in the family, less I Song Qi is a lot, more I Song Qi is not more, I Song Qisheng is a soldier of the Black Armor Army, and if he dies, he is a martyr of the Black Armor Army! Hehe, secretly tell the general, if I, Song Qi, can survive, I will definitely marry a woman like the princess! Song Qi continued to move forward, stepped on a weed, and yearned for it with his head held high.
Lu Ziji patted Song Qi's shoulder, and then clenched the big knife, "Then let's live well!" Pay attention to the young man behind the little girl in front of you, watch out for his sneak attack! ”
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
The noise became louder and louder, and Song Qi crossed the shield sideways, allowing General Lu to be exposed, and his gaze always fell on the young man behind the little girl.
Lu Ziji took the opportunity to step forward, jumped out of the shield, and in the distance of dozens of zhang where the two armies were about to clash, he hugged the little girl, and slashed at the young man behind the little girl who did not react in time, slashing the other party to the ground, and then retracted back into the shield in place. The little girl was successfully rescued.
When Song Qi stepped forward with his shield on his side, he carefully noticed that the dead young man was actually holding a scimitar in his hand, no matter how much, the side shield stood on the ground, and together with all the black-armored sergeants, he stopped the pace of advancement, and put his side shield on the ground, diagonally to make way for these people, while the black-armored sergeant hidden in the shield brandished his knife and gun to look for those suspicious objects.
Lu Ziji stood next to the shield soldier Song Qi, carefully examining each of the people who had fled into the black armor army's formation, and let them retreat in an orderly manner, when he suddenly saw a captive who was acting a little strangely revealing a short dagger from his sleeve and preparing to surprise the shield soldier on his left, took a deep breath, stepped into the ground with both feet, and struck at the back of the Hu man lurker with a fist.
Only the sound of bones shattering could be heard burst open from the spot, and the corpse of a captive rose into the air and smashed down on the shield in the third column on the left, with a loud crunch on the surface of the shield.
Lu Ziji retracted his anger, raised his knife and beheaded a young man disguised as a captive, and looked at the woman who didn't dare to move forward wrapped in a headcloth, "Hurry up!" I only kill Hu people! ”
The captives led by the women nodded in fear and fled towards the gap in the black armor formation, Lu Ziji continued to observe the surroundings, there were many black armor soldiers around and those sneak attack pretenders scuffled together, those sneak attackers would be killed by the black armor soldiers with thunder once they were unsuccessful, but those who succeeded in the sneak attack often caused the black armor sergeant's neck to suffer, they knew that the black armor could defend against knives and guns, so they all aimed at the neck of these incompletely defended positions.
At this time, a captive dressed as a Hu man ran towards Song Qi's right, crying as he ran, which made the vigilant Song Qi slightly moved, and his hatred for the rebels deepened, forcing a big husband to be like this, which shows how murderous their methods of exterminating humanity are.
Song Qi avoided and let this innocent captive enter the formation of the Black Armor Army, but he didn't know that the other party had just stepped into the formation and showed his vicious fangs, and a short knife was pulled out of his sleeve and stabbed straight at Song Qi's neck, seeing that the white knife was about to stab in.
Lu Ziji's ears moved slightly, and when he heard the sound of a short knife coming out of the sheath on the right, he reflexively pressed Song Qi down with one hand, resisted the stabbing attack with his arm, and at the same time handed a punch towards the person who sneaked attack, causing the other party to spit blood and hit the sword of another black-armored sergeant who noticed the abnormality.
"Thank you, General!" Song Qi straightened up and thanked Lu Ziji after noticing it, and continued to grasp the shield.
"No thanks, I'm coming!" Lu Ziji returned to his position again and looked at the Hu infantry that were charging towards him.
The monstrous shouts of killing sounded, and most of the prisoners were in front of the two armies, if there was a strangulation, they would definitely die a tragic death, but hearing the Hu people to charge, Li Liuqi and Fang Shanshen, who were commanding the entire array in the middle, released a marching order - the big cyan fireworks exploded in the air.
Hearing the voice above, Song Qi, like the other sword and shield soldiers, raised his shield and moved diagonally to collect the innocent captives into the camp, while the big swordsmen of the sword and shield soldiers charged with the other spearmen, and no longer cared about the Hu people who were lurking in the captives.
The Hu infantry charged, mercilessly slashing the Tang captives caught in the middle.
Song Qi looked at the innocent people who died under the enemy's blade in front of him, shouted, and rushed forward with his shield first, while the black-armored sergeant behind saw Song Qi's emotions and had to step forward to fill the entire military formation. And the sergeants around Song Qi took the whole body and also charged into position, and the front moved forward neatly for a while.
Lu Ziji saw that Song Qi was a little emotional, regardless of thirty-seven or twenty, he quickly followed, grabbed the big knife with one hand, and as soon as he arrived at Song Qi's side, he confronted five Hu people who were stabbing with spears.
The five spears stabbed together, Lu Ziji swung his knife to block it, and at the same time squatted down to avoid the spear thrust, a frog leaped up, grabbed the five spears with one hand like an ape arm, and slashed sideways with the knife, slashing the five Hu people in front of him, and the blood stained the white robe.
At this time, two more Hu people rushed to the left and right, Lu Ziji chuckled, holding five spears in one hand, waving the Hu people attacking on the left, waving a long knife in one hand, cutting off the two killing weapons on the right, and then throwing up five spears, taking a volley and shooting to the right, piercing the two Hu people like pills, and then holding four spears to hide behind the shield to keep pace with the formation, Lu Ziji's body at this time was already dyed bright red.
"The general is so powerful!" Song Qi praised a word, used his shield to resist the sprint, and pushed a row of Hu people with Lu Ziji, who came to help.
The black torrent and the infantry brigade of the Hu people made a violent charge in the vast grass, and on the left and right sides of the battlefield, on one side the artillery was ready, and on the other hand, the cavalry of the Hu people was also ready to join the battlefield.
And Du Fu also observed such a situation, and asked Cen Shen to mobilize cavalry to prepare to meet the enemy.
