Chapter 418: White Blade
At such a time, what do you do when you open the city gates?
Do you want to let the twenty or thirty thousand slaves of the Karma tribe outside the city enter the city?
That's right, that's what Wu Ji is for.
What the? Wu Ji betrayed Zhao Hongrun?
No, no, this is just a tactic planned by Zhao Hongrun, a tactic to kill the enemy army efficiently.
At this time, fierce fighting was still going on and off the city.
Well, it was a fierce battle, but in fact, it was just the unilateral shooting of the Qianzhou slaves outside the city, despite the truncation of the back road, and still frantically attacking the city wall.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Second team, release the arrows!"
Under the attack of the dense arrows of the soldiers and soldiers of the merchant and water on the city wall, the slaves of the Qiang tribe in the western suburbs outside the city fell to the ground one after another in the process of galloping, but every time a slave fell to the ground with an arrow, there were followers to make up for his position.
But what about the slave soldier who fell to the ground with an arrow?
But he was trampled to death by other slave soldiers.
Yes, since the "three-edged arrowhead" is only used on the crossbow arrows of repeaters, and has not yet been popularized in the crossbow arrows of general specifications, the arrows shot by the soldiers of the merchant navy at this time are still only "double-winged arrowheads", as long as they do not hit the vital point, they are not enough to be fatal.
However, for the Karma slave soldiers outside the city, falling means death, because the other slave soldiers around you will never bypass you because you have fallen, and under the intimidation of the Karma Overseers, they will directly trample on the bodies of their fallen companions.
Because of this, some of the slave soldiers who rushed to the front of the team, even though they were hit by several arrows and blood oozed from the corners of their mouths, still gritted their teeth and persevered, and still continued to charge forward.
Because he knew that if he stopped, he would be pushed to the ground by the slave soldiers who followed him, trampled to death.
"(Chu Chinese) Hey, hey, what's going on with this group of guys?"
On the city wall, Yang Wu, the pawn of the Shang Shui Army, widened his eyes in astonishment, and muttered incredulously in his strange-sounding Chu dialect: "Are those people really not afraid of death?" ”
"Didn't the general say that the other party is a slave soldier of the Karma Horn tribe, and it is the Karma people who force them to fight with us, and maybe their families are in the hands of the Karma people, so they dare not resist." From the side, his companion Le Leopard gave him a strange look.
Unlike him and Li Hui, who enlisted in Shangshui County, Yang Wu is a veteran who survived the "Battle of Wei and Chu", and has experienced the "Battle of Yanshui", "Battle of Yanshui Wei Ying", and "Battle of Mushan", three tragic battles in which only more than 50,000 people were left in the death of 160,000 Chu troops.
Suddenly, Lebao noticed another companion, Li Hui, and noticed that he was pale and trembling.
"Will be scared...... It's not surprising.'"
Glancing at his right hand, which was clenching his weapon, Le Leopard looked solemnly at the slave soldiers outside the city who were getting closer and closer to the city wall.
He knew that the city wall of less than two feet was not enough to stop these crazy slave soldiers, even if they deliberately strengthened and raised the wooden wall, as the war progressed, I was afraid that those slave soldiers would knock it out, and then climb the city wall in one go.
At this moment, Yang Wu walked up to the two companions with a sword and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are wearing the armor of the 'Junshui Army'!" …… It will bless us! As he spoke, he clenched his fist and hammered his chest, and the armor of the soldier on the ground rattled.
Li Huiyan looked down at the very worn old armor on his body, although it was worn, but it was unexpectedly strong, it was said to be sewn from thick cowhide, and there was also iron armor embedded in key positions, such as the chest, back, joints, crotch, and so on.
"Isn't it amazing? The Junshui Army of Wei ......"
"Ahh Yang Wu licked his lips and said with a look of longing: "That is just 25,000 people, you can easily defeat the army of 60,000 soldiers led by Xiong Hu, if it weren't for King Su at that time, we would have been forced into the river and drowned in the water......" After that, he saw the fear in Li Hui's eyes, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Although it sounds terrible, but it is only for the enemy, after we surrendered to Queen Su, the Junshui army was unexpectedly friendly to us...... The Dangshan Army is completely incomparable. ”
Obviously, Yang Wu still hasn't forgotten that he was intimidated by the generals of the Dangshan Army a while ago.
Hearing this, Li Hui whispered: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the Dangshan Army is not so bad......"
"Evil." Yang Wu made a grimace of disgust, and then, with his fist against the armor on Li Hui's body, he said with a smile: "In short, it will protect you!" ”
At this moment, the general in charge of their section of the city wall, Ran Teng, a thousand-person general, hurriedly walked over, waved his hand and shouted: "When the enemy is under the city, all the soldiers with shields will step forward, and the rest will assist behind!" ”
Hearing this, the three friends glanced at each other, and immediately, Yang Wu picked up an iron shield allocated to him from the ground, and stretched out the strap behind the shield with his left hand, fixing it on the small arm of his left hand.
"Shhhh It's so heavy, it can't be all made of iron, right? It's really hard to imagine that the infantry of the Junshui Army chased and killed us for more than ten miles with this thing......" After thinking for a while, Yang Wu took a deep breath and clenched the iron sword in his right hand, and at the same time, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't die, Ah Leopard, Ah Hui." ”
"Who are you talking about?" Le Leopard snorted lightly, and stood behind Yang Wu with Li Hui holding a shield, his eyes fixed on the gap between the wooden wall and the wooden wall that the three of them were responsible for.
At this time, the slave soldiers under the city had already set up a human ladder, and the city wall of the city was less than two zhang high, which could not effectively block the climbing of the slave soldiers. "Note: Again, I would like to remind you that the weights and measures in the text are all based on Su's new rules. That is, one zhang is about two meters. Therefore, if you have a companion to help you on the city wall, which is less than four meters, you can climb the ground."
"It's coming!"
A roar burst out of Ran Teng's mouth: "Don't retreat!" Violators will be beheaded on the spot! …… Shieldmen, plug it up! ”
Like the other Shangshui soldiers with iron shields, Yang Wu held a shield to block the gap between the wooden wall in front of him and the wooden wall, which was only one person wide.
But he didn't completely block it with his shield, because then he wouldn't be able to kill the enemy, so he just blocked half of the gap with his shield, deliberately leaving the other half so that he could use his iron sword to poke hard at the slave soldiers who tried to climb the wall, and then push them out.
Suddenly, Yang Wu's eyes lit up, and it turned out that the gap that the three of them were responsible for suddenly put on a hand.
Seeing this, Yang Wu didn't say a word, and directly raised his sword to chop off that hand.
A scream sounded close at hand, and then, Yang Wu vaguely heard the noisy sound in front of him, as if there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"Haha, you deserve it!" He laughed.
"......" Le Leopard glanced at the human hand that had fallen on the city wall, and then looked at the companion in front of him again, slightly unfamiliar.
"So decisive...... Is this a veteran who has been on the battlefield?'
Leopard looked around.
He found that those soldiers who were also members of the Shang Shui Army were basically divided into two categories at the moment.
One is pale, hands trembling, no surprise, these people are quasi-like them, they are recruits who enlisted in Shangshui County.
On the other hand, although they did not look good, they could see that their spirits were tense, and they were always on the lookout for the enemy who would suddenly appear, and their hands did not tremble, and they did not hesitate to swing their swords when it was time to swing them.
It's like Yang Wu.
Just as Leopard was distracted, suddenly, the wooden wall on his left side fell to the ground with a strange creaking sound, and immediately, three slave soldiers who were stepping on the female wall pounced on Leopard and the other two nearby merchant soldiers unarmed.
"What a son of a bitch nailed a wooden wall!" Yang Wu glanced to the left and shouted: "Ah Hui, go and help Ah Leopard, I'll take it here!" …… Ah Hui?! Li Hui?! ”
"Huh?" Li Hui woke up from a dream, glanced back at Le Leopard, who was scuffling with a slave soldier on the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help with his weapon.
It may be the relationship between the first time on the battlefield, or it may be that Le Leopard and the slave soldier scuffled on the city wall, rolling back and forth, so that Li Hui carried a weapon and did not dare to stab out.
"Ah Hui, stab quickly!"
Le Leopard, who was suppressed on the ground by the slave soldier, had already lost his usual calm, and he really couldn't figure out how the yellow-faced and skinny slave soldier in front of him could have such a powerful force.
"Ah Hui, watch out behind you!"
At this time, with Yang Wu's warning, Li Hui subconsciously turned his head, only to find that another slave soldier broke through Yang Wu's barrier at the cost of sacrificing one hand and rushed towards him.
Looking at the hideous face that was close at hand, Li Hui was so frightened that he was thrown to the ground by the slave soldier with a broken arm.
"Ah Hui!"
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his companion being pounced on by the slave soldiers, and Le Leopard was shocked.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but scream, and it turned out that the slave soldier opened his mouth and bit the side of his neck.
"Ahh
With a loud scream, the slave soldier suppressed the leopard, and simply slammed his head at the other party, so as to get rid of the other party's restraints, and then, he picked up the spear that fell to the ground and stabbed it into the opponent's chest.
At the same time, a thousand people caught a glimpse of the sudden situation on this side, squeezed through the crowd and ran out in a few steps, grabbed the slave soldiers who were suppressing Li Hui, and pierced the opponent's body with the sword in his hand.
At this time, looking at Li Hui again, his face was covered with blood, obviously scared stupid.
Glancing at Le Leopard with appreciation, the thousand people threw away the corpse in their hands while glaring at Li Hui, who was still lying on the ground, and scolded viciously: "Are you still angry?" Idiot! Get me up if I'm not dead! …… Shh Obviously wearing such a high-quality armor! ”
After that, the thousand-person general helped Yang Wu and the others to plug the gap.
"Ah Hui, are you alright?"
Le Leopard helped his companion up, and although he was apprehensive by the other party's shock, he still comforted Li Hui, who knew that he was frightened at a glance.
"That's what it is...... Battlefield? ”
Li Hui looked around and muttered in horror.
"Ah, this is the battlefield."
Touching the neck of the bitten piece of flesh, Le Leopard affirmed abruptly. (To be continued.) )
