Chapter 36: The God of War in Zhongshan
Lian Wu stood at the observation gate of the city wall, carefully looked at the figure below, and because he saw that the other party had used a rocket, the firelight suddenly enveloped the entire forest. He saw that in the woods, he didn't know when there were many more archers, and the shadows were so dense that it seemed that the entire forest was shrouded in a phalanx of bows and arrows.
He made up his mind, as if he couldn't find any other team, if it was just archers, then it was unlikely that the other party wanted to attack the city, but it was not ruled out that there were teams hidden in other places. "Get on the rocket!" He whispered. The soldiers just now retreated one after another, and the archers who were waiting at the foot of the stairs when they heard the order to guard stepped forward to fill their positions.
Looking at this group of troops with such a big age difference, Lian Wu sighed slightly, fortunately, the enemy was only attacking, in case it really attacked the city, relying on this group of people was not enough to see at all, it is estimated that the most basic defensive formation could not be organized.
"Listen to me, first row, wind." Lian Wu said in a low voice, although the archers have uneven skills, they have been able to adapt to this kind of order in just a few days of training. They were full of bows, bows and arrows hanging low, and a small colonel with torches lit their bows and arrows from beginning to end, and then the archers turned neatly, leaning against the wall, ready to stretch out their archery ports and fire their bows and arrows, but the sweat in their hands betrayed their mood.
"Target, forest ahead, launch!" Lian Wu roared. I saw that the archers stretched their bows and arrows out of the launch port one after another, and attacked indiscriminately towards the forest opposite. These archers, although inexperienced, have problems with the accuracy of their shooting, but fortunately, this time the target is the forest and not people, as long as you shoot by feeling, you will have absolutely no problem.
For a moment, the rain of fire rained down one after another, and in the face of the woods they often visited, the archers poured their bows and arrows without hesitation. At this time, the trees are very dry, and when they encounter raging fire and rain, they are even more scarce. In an instant, the entire forest turned into a huge bonfire, burning with anger and intrigue.
At the same time, screams rang out in the woods. Some bows and arrows hit the enemy by mistake, and some bows and arrows did not hit anyone, but the flames burned the opponent's flammable materials, and some even set the opponent's clothes on fire. For a time, the enemy formations hidden in the woods were in chaos, and they were fighting the flames on their bodies.
Lian Wu watched the excitement in the city, and finally stood up and blatantly observed the other party. Although he didn't know what to do, he still understood it.
"Second platoon, target woods, shoot." The second round of arrows poured down again, and this time the archers were more confident than the first row, and even if they missed the shot, they didn't worry about losing people.
"They're exposed, just order someone to attack." Zheng Quan was watching Lian Wu's command not far away just now, and his mind was panicked, but now that he was finally able to stand up, he came to Lian Wu's side and watched the battle with him.
Lian Wu shook his head and said, "Those who are quiet in the fire are waiting and not attacking." The situation is unclear at this time, and it is unknown whether there are other ambushes in the darkness. The most important thing is that our army is constantly reared, and the soldiers are newly trained and unfamiliar with their skills, so they attack rashly, and the victory or defeat is unknown. ”
"Moreover, the gates of our army are wide open, and the enemy still does not attack, either because there are not enough troops, or tonight is just a test, so it is not a good thing to attack. The most important thing is that we can hold on, and we don't need to pay attention to the rest for the time being. ”
Zheng Quan is just rude about military affairs, and when he heard what Lian Wu said, he didn't ask anymore, anyway, he was a military commander, and he didn't have to be responsible.
As the fire grew bigger and bigger, the enemy in the woods slowly began to retreat, and the entire grove was shrouded in a sea of fire, and almost no one could stand on it, and he now believed that the other party should have no ambush this time, at least there were no ambushes in the woods. He turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him, "What about Captain Jiadu?" ”
"There is a strong man at the gate of the city, seven or eight people are not close, and Jia Duwei is fighting with him with his brothers!"
When Lian Wu heard this, he was shocked in his heart, who was this person, how could he fight like this, he didn't believe it in his heart, and said, "The archer comes with me." Then he staggered to the gate, looked up, and was startled.
I saw a burly young man at the gate of the city with limited space, wearing the military uniform of Zhongshan Kingdom, carrying a soldier of Zhao State in one hand, while using them as a shield to resist the attack of other Zhao soldiers, while throwing one on the left and picking one on the right, it was simply a toy for many soldiers. Not only that, but his body is very flexible, and ordinary soldiers can't take advantage of it even if they sneak attack, but they are beaten by him and crying for their father and mother, so they are not embarrassed.
Lian Wu saw that this guy was alone, and he was about to catch up with his own team. Thinking that the enemy would not be able to do so, he ordered the archers to take their bows and shoot them at the mound.
The rise of the Wuqiu Duck is fighting, like the return of the god of war, and it is extremely happy. Unexpectedly, the swishing arrow flowed, he couldn't dodge, a feather arrow swept his cheek, he suddenly felt a hot pain, thought that he must have been injured, and was furious, picked up the door panel that Jia Duwei carried just now, and the dancer's wide door panel was killed, and everyone picked up the machete and slashed at him. Wuqiu is not a fool, he immediately dragged the side of the door panel, swept everyone, everyone swung out their machetes, the posture was old, and they could not change their shape, and they were worthy of hitting the door panel one by one, screaming again and again, and being swept to the ground.
Lian Wu was taken aback, he didn't expect this guy to be so flexible, not like a reckless man at all, so he hurriedly arranged for bow and arrow shooting again, otherwise with this person, the city gate would not be protected.
However, the more I fight, the more addicted I become, and the more I fight, the more I fight. He danced a door panel with no effortlessness, which was simply overwhelming. I thought that if I came out with my own iron rod, I would have swept a large area a long time ago, and I still needed to work so hard. If it weren't for the handsome care, I would be enough for this small city. Still use to arrange ambushes three miles away?
Just when he was complacent, there was a sound of "Duo Duo Duo" in the distance, which was the withdrawal of Zhongshan Guomingjin. Wuqiu was annoyed for a while, and scolded his mother repeatedly. But he didn't dare not listen to the general's order, so he had to fight while retreating. Keep moving out of the city gates.
"Leave him!" As soon as Lian Wu gave the order, he also drew his sword and stood up, rubbing his body and rushing forward to attack. If he lets go of this guy, Zhao Guo's face will be lost, he has just taken office, and before he has time to shake his prestige, he was slapped in the face, this breath, he can't bear it. It was he who swung the machete, and the knife struck at the fatal place of the mound.
Wuqiu had no intention of fighting, but when he heard Lian Wu's roar, he thought that he came just in time, and he would dance the door board, which was not inferior. The door panel was already thick, and although it was full of arrows, it was still a good shield. Lian Wu saw that his upper body was tightly guarded, so he could only attack his lower road, and there was a pursuit on his knees. While guarding the top, the Wuqiu had to dodge one after another. I thought to myself, sure enough, this guy is different from those little soldiers.
It is said that if you take root on the ground, the lower plate is unstable, and it is easy to miscalculate on the road. Jia Duwei was beaten with two broken teeth, but he didn't dare to retreat, seeing that Lian Wu forced Wuqiu to stumble, he felt that there would be a chance, so he took a few small soldiers and ran to the city gate with a spear, thinking that he would close the city gate first, and then he would catch turtles in the urn.
He can think a lot, Wuqiu is not stupid, he sped up the progress of stepping back, dragged the side of the door panel, fanned Lian Wu on the opposite side, and then pulled back, grabbed the middle of the door panel, waved left, blocked on the right, and repelled Jia Duwei and others who followed. Then he threw the door panel at them, turned and ran.
Seeing that Wuqiu threw the door panel at everyone, Lian Wu and the others hurriedly dodged, lest they be hurt. When they came to their senses, they had already run to the city gate. As soon as Lian Wu wanted to give the order to pursue, he saw a neat line standing outside the grove where the fire was still burning just now. They were torches, and archers were squatting in front rows, ready to die, unsuspecting that they would become deadly at any moment.
In the middle of the team, a person wearing a black cloak, surrounded by many Zhongshan generals, Lian Wu vaguely saw that the big banner behind him was fierce and loud, with two big characters written on it: Sima!
When Lian Wu saw this formation, he knew that he couldn't keep Wuqiu, so he could only order to close the city gate and prepare for defense.
Wuqiu ran all the way, but I didn't expect that after the battle, there would be such good physical strength. But he still took off his armor halfway, and when he saw the man on horseback, his face changed in shock, and he slowly walked towards the man, as if he had changed from a god of war to a goddess.
The man on the horse had an unswerving face, looked at the Wuqiu in front of him, and said lightly: "Kneel!" ”
Wuqiu didn't think about it, and immediately knelt down there and looked at the man carefully.
Unexpectedly, the man was even more simply, without saying a word, he pulled up his horsewhip and hit his exposed back with a "snap". I didn't dare to move anymore, and I was stalking my neck and suffering the whipping. However, this is not the end, the people on the horse are even more energetic, and the sound of "pop pop" sounded one after another. Wuqiu's back was beaten and changed color, and blood marks were exposed in some places, which made people unbearable to look at closely. Even so, the Wuqiu was motionless and lifeless, bearing the man's whipping.
After a long time, I don't know if he was tired, so he finally put down the whip in his hand and asked lightly, "Do you hear my voice?" ”
"I hear you."
"Why don't you withdraw?"
"The slut has entered the city gate and cannot retreat." In front of this person, Wuqiu called himself a slut.
"Did I let you in?" He said in a deep voice.
"No... No. Wuqiu lowered his head and said.
"Brainless thing, if you don't obey, I'll throw you back to the 'corner field' and continue to be your slave." This time, I was very angry.
"Remember... Remember, Sanguni-sama. "It turns out that this person is Sima Cheng of Zhongshan Kingdom.
"Humph!" He glanced at Wuqiu, and then at the tower of Shancheng, where torches were lit again, and there was a man there who would surely make him remember tonight forever. "Let's go." He shook the reins and turned away first.
