Volume 1 Born Out of Thin Air Chapter 23 Strict Guard
Pan Ze heard the sound of arrows being fired again, and was unimpressed, and prepared to send sword players and pikemen to attack the wall. There was a scream behind him, Huo Di turned his head, and the scene in his eyes made him gasp.
A total of 300 long arrows weighing 60 grams were nailed to the crossbowman's position in three rounds, and the small half of the crossbowmen were directly fired.
Barbed arrows fell from the sky, and a crossbowman was shot in the lung, and blood continued to spurt out of his mouth.
The simple hanging armor on the other crossbowman's body, that is, a simple armor with a few iron plates inserted, did not block the arrows, and Ding Shihang's arrows were nailed into his abdomen through the gaps in the armor. The barbed arrow could not be pulled out of place, and he had to crawl to the side with his bare hands, and his intestines were dragged out of a trajectory behind him......
A crossbowman was shot in the eye socket and rolled on the ground struggling, screaming terrifyingly in the noisy battlefield......
From a distance, the crossbowmen's positions of the officers and soldiers looked like blood flowers blooming.
The village soldiers and some young men who were used to life and death were okay, but the old soldiers ignored them at all, and Li Xiang and most of the teenagers in the youth camp were not good, and Liu Decheng vomited on the spot.
Li Xiang was under the care of Liu Susu and Yang Yingdong, although he retched nonstop, but he did not make a fool of himself after all.
Looking at the young team members who gradually stabilized their emotions but were still trembling, Li Xiang finally understood the meaning of actual combat. Training is important, but you can only really call it a soldier if you have experienced the battle formation, otherwise you are just a soft-footed shrimp!
Liu Decheng stabilized and his hearing returned to normal. But he still gasped heavily, his hands and feet trembled, and his body felt cold.
He didn't know that this was a normal reaction of his body, and he wouldn't even be able to eat for the next few days. Liu Decheng looked at the calm Xiong Chengwu, Yang Jianchuan and others, and felt ashamed of his weakness.
Liu Decheng, who is good at learning, forced himself to look at the miserable situation of the officials and soldiers, and found that the straight bows and arrows on the ground were distributed in several lines. Thinking of the three standard pulling forces of 30, 35 and 40 kilograms of straight bows, Liu Decheng faintly grasped something.
Taken aback, Pan Ze stopped the attack and ordered the sword players to cover the retreat of the crossbowmen, and a hundred archers to stand on guard.
Li Xiang's troops are thin, so he naturally will not take the initiative to attack. The order has reached the limit of the village soldiers, veterans and young people, especially more than 20 archers to rest quickly.
The youth camp is divided into two groups, taking turns to rest and defend. Li Xiang hurried to discuss the next battle with Liu Susu, Yang Yingdong and several captains of the youth battalion, and asked Xiong Chengwen to use the telescope and banner, using Hanyu pinyin, to contact the radar on the side of the craftsman battalion.
Pan Ze knew that the crossbowmen were useless, and it was okay for ordinary archers to suppress the wall, but shooting against the opposing archers who were protected by the courtyard wall was basically looking for death. Moreover, if the distance of the crossbow is too far, it will lose its accuracy advantage, and the deterrent power will decrease in a straight line, so the long-range firepower advantage will be transferred to Li Xiang's side.
Looking at the frightened soldiers, Pan Ze had no choice but to notify Zhao Scar, who was attacking the craftsman camp, to come over.
Liu Sheng used the straight bows and a large number of knives and guns hoarded by the artisan battalion, with the disabled veterans and the left-behind soldiers as the core, and led the young and strong defense of the craftsman battalion.
Repelling Zhao Scar's two attacks, Liu Sheng looked at Meng Xue worriedly, and the image of giggling on weekdays was like the two of them.
Liu Sheng thought to himself, how could this be, what went wrong? How can there be so many officers and soldiers, and there are still fierce fire oil tanks and crossbows?
Li Xiang and the women and children are all there, so nothing can happen......
"Four leaders, four leaders?" The pensive Liu Sheng was woken up, and then he saw Uncle Zhao with a happy face.
Zhao Bo was once the captain of the village soldiers, but quit the village soldiers because of a leg injury, and was later "dug up" by Li Xiang to the craftsman camp as a guard.
"It's Uncle Zhao, what's the situation?" Although Liu Sheng is usually rude, he is very polite to these old qualifications of the cottage.
"It's the flag of Li Xiaofuzi, he said that he temporarily repelled the attack of the official army on Mengxue, let's not worry. He also said that we should not be able to hold out, and wait for the owner of the village to come back to help..."Zhao Bo reported the flag he received to Liu Sheng, and then waited for Liu Sheng's order.
"Wait, Uncle Zhao. Ahem, this, how did Li Boy use flag language to spread such complicated news? "There's no reason, it's so far away that you can't see the flag, and the flag won't speak for itself.
Uncle Zhao was a little hesitant and said in embarrassment: "It's Lei Blacksmith's doll radar boy, he and his master used the flag to contact, and the master ordered to keep it secret, so ......"
Liu Sheng was surprised, it turned out to be Li Xiang's kid again. Forget it, I'll know sooner or later anyway.
Having said that, Li Xiang, this kid is really powerful, and he was stunned to withstand the attack of the official army with a thin earthen wall and a small number of village soldiers.
It's a pity that he is in the craftsman camp, with less than 100 subordinates, and his defense is barely enough, let alone to break the siege for Mengxue.
I don't know where the big brother has gone, do you know the news here? Looking at the night sky in the south, Liu Sheng secretly prayed that Liu Chengdong would come back in time, otherwise, ......
At the head of Xunyang City, Huang Liren and Zhang Tianlei were drinking to keep warm. Looking at the firelight that appeared at the foot of the mountain to the north, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Huang Liren said: "Congratulations to Zhang Dutong, it is expected that Liu Chengdong of Mingyue Village and Zhao Scar of Qingfeng Village will not be lucky." Zhang Dutong exterminated bandits and eliminated harm for the people, and Huang must make contributions to Dutong in front of Lord Zhizhou. Seeing the "army" of Mingyue Village coming slowly, Huang Liren was overjoyed and added a code.
Zhang Tianlei is very satisfied with this cooperation, not only has the shares of Mingyuezhai Workshop and Iron Mine, but also has made the contribution of exterminating bandits, and may also enter Cai Xiang's sight.
However, interests are interests after all, Zhang Tianlei said half-politely and half-warningly: "Lord Huang is polite, our army has already maintained the place, and it is also appropriate to exterminate bandits." However, although Lord Huang has paid tribute, he still cares about the affairs of the country and the dynasty, and the last general is really admired......"
Huang Liren secretly scolded this Qiu Ba for being cunning, and dared to say that Xunyang was his territory, and threatened not to do anything. But when Mingyue Village is won, Li Xiang's kid will be under his own name, and the earth blast furnace, down jacket and cold-proof clothing will not be as much as there are, and then it will be up to you to fight with me!
Zhang Tianlei also has his own little Jiujiu, and he revealed that Huang Liren was going to kill Zhao Scar after the matter was completed, so Zhao Scar and Zhang Tianlei had another agreement.
After the deed was completed, Zhao Scarzi and Zhang Tianlei killed several other village owners and Pan Ze, and then divided the production of Mingyue Village equally. From beginning to end, no party has ever considered Lao Huang, and it is really miserable.
Pan Ze, as Huang Liren's grandson-in-law, has always relied on his relationship with Yunyang Mansion Commander to never take Zhang Tianlei in his eyes. This time he just killed him, and then reported that he died in a fight, and Zhang Tianlei drank half a bowl of obscenity.
Liu Chengdong pretended to attack Xunyang Mansion City, originally wanting to make the officials and soldiers dare not interfere, and then led Lao Huang, Zhao Scarzi and Huang Liren to attack, and he caught them all again. But there was a big deviation in the plan, and the gate of Mingyue Zhai was broken, and there were fires everywhere.
Li Xiang and Liu Sheng guarded the Mengxue and Craftsman Battalions respectively, and the main force of the Youth Battalion strengthened the defense of Mengxue. The villagers who had not had time to flee into these two places were brutally killed, and several women were distressed by the pots and jars at home, and they were insulted in turn because they did not have time to escape.
