Chapter 229: Sniper Battle II

People who do not have any experience in construction cannot appreciate the complexity and arduousness of a project. When Li Huaitang gave the order to Tie Niu, he didn't know that it was impossible to complete this order on time. Not to mention whether the clumsy light cavalry soldiers could complete the construction of the rattan bridge in two or three hours, the process of climbing down the bottom of the ditch and climbing the cliff-like steep slope on the opposite side would take two hours.

It was noon, and under the nervous gaze of the generals, the iron bull with two torches on his back finally stood on the opposite rock of the deep ditch without danger, and excitedly waved his torches at the guards.

Goto let out a sigh of relief, his fingers loosened his sweat-soaked palms, and gave an order to the two strong crossbowmen beside him: "'Shoot'!" ”

The two crossbowmen were instructed to throw two ropes more than ten zhang long and made of grass and vines into the opposite side of the deep ditch with crossbow arrows.

Two straw ropes passed, then four, six, eight......

On the other side of the deep ditch, the Iron Ox tied one end of the straw rope firmly to a boulder, and the other end was tied to the trunk of the tree by the guardian's own hand. As more and more straw ropes were straightened and fixed, the rudiments of the drawbridge gradually emerged......

The construction of the rattan bridge is in full swing, and the sniper warfare closely related to it continues to be 'intensely' carried out more than ten miles away.

Cather's scimitar slashed twice, and the blood condensed to the crumble on the blade, falling to the ground drop by drop. Cath achieved four victories, three to be exact, and one of his own. However, he doesn't mind, 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' night battles, self-harm is difficult to avoid.

Cath stopped because he had found a strong enemy, one that held him back. Cath felt unsure of defeating him, a feeling he hadn't ever felt before, even against what he considered to be his strongest opponent. Although he couldn't see the opponent's appearance clearly, he was very sure that this person must be the butcher of Shi Guo, except for him, no one can have such skills, so strong, and what the butcher of Shi Guo said was Tang Yan! What Tang Jun, the previous judgment was all wrong, I don't know how Sulu Khan will be furious when he knows what he will do in the future. Kaser felt that his opportunity had come, as long as he killed the butcher of Shi Guo and dedicated his head to the account of Sulu Khan, it would be difficult not to soar, and from then on, he would be the first warrior of the steppe.

Another scream came, and it was the first battle result of the strong enemy.

Opportunity!

When he heard the crisp sound of the opposite knife soldiers, Caster confirmed that the strong enemy would definitely not have time to block back, and decisively seized the opportunity to launch a swift attack from the other side.

"Bang dang!"

Instead of the exhilarating feeling of the sharp blade cutting the 'meat' as expected, Caster felt that the knife in his hand was clearly slashed against the metal.

Li Huaitang was covered in blood and his face was hideous, this cunning enemy was already the third time to sneak attack him, the first two times he relied on a large piece of broken cotton armor on his body to disintegrate the opponent's offensive, this time, Li Huaitang was in a hurry, and used the scabbard on his waist to catch his almost successful 'yin' stab.

Desperately slashing the right wing, Li Huaitang angrily returned the knife and slashed at Kasser's arm that grabbed the knife.

Knowing that his opponent was lightning fast, Casser did not dare to leave anything to chance, and gave up his weapon as quickly as he could, narrowly dodging the severed knife.

Even so, the tip of Li Huaitang's scimitar still touched Casser's 'chest', breaking his leather armor. A bloody scar appeared in front of Kasser's chest, Kaser was horrified, thinking that he would definitely die, and he could live the rest of his life under the butcher's knife of Shi Guo, but he didn't seem to have it in his memory, he didn't expect that this scar that brought him pain would become the capital for him to show off to the warriors of the various tribes of the grassland in the future.

Li Huaitang did not let go of Cather's intentions, and moved his steps, 'wanting' to put him to death and then hurry. Mo said that he was bare-handed, even if Cassel had two knives in his hand now, he didn't dare to fight, not because he was afraid of death, but the notoriety of Shi Guo's butcher was too notorious, and the failure of repeated sneak attacks had consumed his ambition, and the wound in front of his 'chest' became the last straw that crushed his will to resist.

In the face of Li Huaitang's ruthless knife, in a panic, Caster wanted to call "Butcher of Shiguo", but he knew that he couldn't, once this name was exported, the army's heart would be shaken, and defeat would be assured. Perhaps his life should not have been extinguished, and two personal soldiers stood in front of him in time.

"Ahh One of the soldiers who rescued Cassel didn't have time to raise his knife to block, and the sharp blade slashed head-on, and the fatal wound extended straight from the forehead to the 'chest'. The other soldier didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, pulled Cassel and ran back. He heard Cather's terrifying whisper, "Devil, Butcher of Shi Guo." ”

On the one hand, the butcher of Shi is strong and invincible, and he is their idol, on the other hand, this butcher is their enemy and their nightmare. The truth that was 'revealed' from Kasser's mouth, as well as the fierce performance of the enemy, made this personal soldier have to believe that the "demon" in the night 'color' was the butcher of Shi Guo.

This pro-soldier did not have the same high consciousness as Casser, and in shock, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Butcher of Shi Guo!" He is the butcher of Shi Guo! ”

Being able to spot a powerful enemy first is also a show off.

Panic 'chaos', spreading among the Turk death squads, death is not terrible, what is terrible is unknown and unfathomable mysterious rumors. The four words of the butcher of Shi Guo are like the most terrifying demons in the world, making the Turgish people in the darkness feel unprecedented fear.

A rout is just a straw!

"I am the butcher of Shi Guo, who dares to fight?" Hearing the exclamation of the Turgi Shiren, Li Huaitang, who was covered in blood, pushed the boat down the water, pretending to be self-assured, and roared in broken Turkic language, as if Zhang Fei, a Yan man of Changsaka Bridge, was reincarnated.

An ethereal straw smashed on the heads of the Turgish warriors in time, becoming an unbearable weight for them.

"Whoa!" The Turgish people on the battlefield all subconsciously retreated, and the herd effect was out of control, and the balance of victory instantly fell to the Bright Ministry of Warriors.

"Crossbow arrows, quick, don't let them escape!" The panting Gongsun Wenyuan gritted his teeth, he wanted to beat the water dogs and avenge the many fallen robes with the blood of the enemy.

A sparse round of crossbow arrows pinned more than a dozen Turquoise routs to the back of their escape.

Victory, but at a very heavy cost. The casualties of hundreds of armed cavalry made Li Huaitang unable to be happy, and since the expedition, all the battle losses combined were not as large as this one. In particular, the personal soldier who fought side by side with him paid the price with his life because of Li Huaitang's dazzling performance.

Li Huaitang attracted the enemy, but also put heavy pressure on the soldiers behind him, a sense of responsibility made him never give up, in the face of several scimitars of the siege, he always gritted his teeth and insisted on Li Huaitang's back, more than a dozen knives in his body, but with an amazing will to hold on to the final victory.

"Xiaoshanzi, let's fight together." Li Huaitang held the war knife left by his own soldier Xiaoshanzi, kneeling next to the bloody 'flesh' blurred corpse, his mood was heavy, but his face was expressionless. Death, he has become accustomed to grief, he has no time, and he still shoulders the expectations of thousands of soldiers behind him.

The Turgishes did not retreat far, and at the cost of more than three hundred corpses, they occupied the bridgehead of the ravine. Relying on the protection of the stones, he was firmly nailed there, waiting for reinforcements behind him.

The second group of Turgish pursuers appeared later on the opposite side of the ravine, and they were not as cautious as Cather, and their torches were like a long dragon, pointing out the direction of the cavalry.

It is difficult to deal with the enemy lying behind the 'chaotic' stone, but it is difficult to deal with the 'chaotic' coaxing and dense pursuers, and the armed cavalry will not let go of the opportunity, this batch of enemies is defenseless, Kasser's panicked warning does not work, only in the face of blood flowing, they will be conscious.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows unceremoniously harvested the lives of the Turgish people on the other side of the ravine, and the Turgish people crowded in front of the ravine were like sheep waiting in line to be slaughtered, and the arm-length crossbow arrows treated them as rock sugar gourds, a bunch of several. The roads of flesh and blood were ruthlessly plowed out, and the Turgish soldiers, who were lucky not to be kissed by the thick crossbow arrows, instantly lost their fear of the dark ravine, and jumped into the bottom of the ditch desperately, saving their lives first.

In just one breath, hundreds of still ignorant Turgish fell in the bloody rain. However, it is not without harvest for the survivors, at least, the lesson of hundreds of corpses has taught them that the opponent has a strong crossbow, and they must not be afraid in front of the strong crossbow, and when it is time to lie down modestly, they must also lie down modestly.

"Shoot them and kill them!" I don't know who gave the order in ignorance, and the range of the crossbow is not comparable to the horned bow in the hands of the Turgish. Li Huaitang and his crossbowmen naturally did not stay within the range of the horn bow's 'shooting' kill, and after releasing a round of crossbows, the cavalry stayed quietly in a safe place, watching the poor performance of the turphos.

The stalemate lasted until the arrival of Sulu Khan. Kaser nervously told Sulu Khan about the enemy situation and his speculation, of course, he did not dare to say that it was a guess, but told a small lie, saying that the butcher of Shi Guo was witnessed by him.

Curiously, the expected eruptive fury did not materialize. Sulu Khan was rarely silent, his mood was very complicated, the enemy had entered a desperate situation, it was a matter of time before they were eliminated, if it was Shi Guo's gang of rogues, it would be best if the new hatred and old hatred could be washed away together, on the other hand, what made him puzzled and uneasy was that this gang of rogues had not been crippled by the bones? How exactly did they rise again in such a short period of time, and stronger, so strong that Sulu Khan was afraid. Faintly, Sulu Khan saw the shadow of the Tang Dynasty.

"Don't worry, no matter who this group of rogues is, they have become turtles in the urn. When it is daybreak, we will cross the ditch and kill them cleanly. ”

It was difficult for Que Yi to think that Sulu Khan was worried about morale, after all, the reputation of the butcher of Shi Guo was very shocking.

"No, cross the ditch overnight!" Sulu Khan was unusually resolute. It is said that Que Yi Nanru's suggestion is very pertinent, in this mountainous area with many ravines, it is difficult for the rogues to 'plug in' their wings. However, for some reason, Sulu Khan always had a trace of indescribable uneasiness in his heart, perhaps because of the depth of the hatred and the urgency, the sooner he saw the enemy's corpse, the more he could relieve the hatred in his heart.

The equilibrium of the confrontation across the ditch was abruptly broken, starting with the hundreds of remaining Cassel's men risking their lives to attack to gain an opportunity for the army to cross the ravine.

This time, Li Huaitang had already prepared, and dozens of lit torches were thrown forward, illuminating the figures of countless ghosts.

By the light of the fire, Kaser was stunned to find that during the time of the confrontation, the enemy had erected a rudimentary and low stone wall as a fortification. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
