Volume 1 Born Out of Thin Air Chapter 28 A Thousand Shots
Liu Sheng stood on the wall of the artisan camp, anxiously waiting for news of Mengxue. Listening to the voice, there has been a fierce battle over there for more than half an hour, and I don't know what the result will be.
When he was anxious, Uncle Zhao ran over and reported, "The fourth master, the little master is arraigned." The coalition forces were temporarily held back by the wall of fire and were preparing for their last resistance. If the owner of the village can't return, he can only order the women and children to flee and leave the queen himself. As for our side, this side ......"
Uncle Zhao swallowed, and Liu Sheng was immediately angry when he saw him like this. "Oh Uncle Zhao, when are you still spitting, say it quickly!"
Uncle Zhao's face was gloomy, and he told the truth, "The little master said, let us make our own decisions depending on the situation." ”
After Zhao Bo finished speaking, he retreated, and asked the more than 80 people in the artisan camp who could still move to be ready to attack at any time, anyway, he would never surrender!
Although Liu Sheng is reckless, he is not stupid, and he understands the meaning of Li Xiang's words. After Mengxue was captured, not to mention whether the women and children could escape, as long as a large number of villagers were taken hostage, the artisan camp would immediately face an internal strife.
Moreover, the losses of the coalition forces in the artisan camp are very limited, and if they surrender, they may be able to save their lives. Someone must have thought so, maybe there are still people who want to use the wealth of the artisan camp to beg for mercy.
After thinking about it, Liu Sheng looked at the groups of soldiers and young men, who were whispering something, and looked in the direction of Mengxue with flashing eyes from time to time.
Liu Sheng was a little chilled, but he could also understand that at the last moment, how many people could die and not surrender? After all, the coalition army came to Mingyuezhai to seek wealth, even if it was reduced to a worker slave and a mine slave, it was better than losing his life.
Just as Liu Sheng was thinking about what to do, the wall of fire in front of the classroom was slowly getting smaller and about to be extinguished.
The villagers who were previously injured did not have time to treat them, so they were only dressed to stop the bleeding. But after drinking the hot soup and resting for a while, the soldiers and veterans still regained some physical strength, and the young and strong also regained some fighting spirit.
The most critical thing is that during this period of time, the coalition army that had just burned to the extreme was pressed down by Li Xiang with a wall of fire, while the side of Mingyuezhai calmed down from the panic of the broken courtyard wall. One eliminates the other, and Mengxue can resist for a while.
Susu Liu, Yingdong Yang, Jianchuan Yang, Qingping Zhang, Chengwu Xiong, Xiaoci Liu, Decheng Liu, Shihang Ding... Standing up one by one, Li Xiang nodded to them and stood in the queue of the youth camp.
The soldiers, veterans, and young men, as long as they could still stand up, also stood on both sides of the youth battalion and put on a defensive posture.
"We've done our best. The rest, only, hard, life, er. After Li Xiang finished speaking word by word, he tied his hands and knife together with strips of cloth and bit hard. Close your eyes and wait for the coalition to attack. In the rear of the youth camp, all the active villagers clenched their weapons.
Pan Ze admired the fighting spirit of these untouchables, and in all fairness, the officers and thieves who attacked the village today were already very good. At present, nearly half of the casualties have been lost, but they still have not collapsed, and Pan Ze is proud enough to declare that he is at the forefront of the Great Zhou generals. The benefits given by the cheap grandfather were not enough, Pan Ze couldn't help but think that the casualties were too great.
But it's coming to an end soon, so even if you pariahs try hard, you can't still descend from the sky?! The wall of fire was nearly extinguished, and a flash of morning light appeared in the east, and Pan Ze spat at it.
"Attack!" In the wee hours of the morning, the coalition forces launched their final attack!
The shouting and killing sound that sounded again woke Liu Sheng up, only to find that the craftsmen and villagers of the artisan camp were looking at him, and many people's eyes flashed. Liu Sheng thought of Li Xiang and the owner of the village, and thought of his niece Liu Xiaoci and the eldest lady, even if he surrendered, he would not end well, right?
While sorting out the armor and weapons, Liu Sheng put his heart into his heart, "Everyone has lived together in Mingyue Village for several years, and they all know the roots, and I also know what some of you think." I don't know ...... if someone kidnaps my family and then coerces me to surrender."
"Zhao Scar will not let me go, but you are different, it is possible to save your life. The owner of the village didn't seem to be able to come back, so I chose to rush out, and those who were willing to die went with me. After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he stood in front of the gate with a big axe. Uncle Zhao limped and stood behind Liu Sheng. Qin Zhong thought of the little master, gritted his teeth and followed.
In front of the artisan camp, more people hesitated, but still chose to stand still. Most of the villagers who planned to follow Liu Sheng's charge were lonely people who had nothing to worry about, or people who were very loyal to the owner of the village. Most of the remaining people have relatives trapped in Mengxue and intend to compromise.
In the eyes of some, the Coalition forces had suffered little loss at the Artisan Battalion, and that surrender should save their lives, even if they were slaves. As long as you can protect your family, what can't you do?
It's acceptable to survive for a long time, and it's not uncommon to have a hard life, and before going up the mountain, is it less exploited by local tyrants and shoddy gentry and officials? Although I am very satisfied with my current life and want to continue to live a better life with Mr. Li, who makes Mr. Li unstoppable?
The combined forces of Pan Ze and Zhao Scarzi launched a final attack, and Liu Sheng also led his men to rush to the encirclement of the Jianghu battalion.
Looking at the rapidly approaching coalition forces, Li Xiang reminded loudly: "Remember the usual training, open your eyes, keep your hands and feet steady, hold the gun obliquely, and see before stabbing." Preparation... Stab! ”
A few coalition soldiers who were not afraid of death arrived in front of them, and Li Xiang gave an order, and the big shield hand of the youth battalion bowed his head to block it, observing from the rectangular opening in the middle of the big shield, ready to shoot at any time.
Pan Ze was disdainful of the big shield spear of the youth battalion, what was the use of the formation being beautiful, there were 72 pairs of the basic formation of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, and he was still repeatedly defeated by Da Liao. But then, a bloody scene appeared, and Pan Ze broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Xiang has been learning in the battle array, the accumulation of modern knowledge, the Great Zhou War Book and the battlefield experience of the high-level of Mingyue Village, Li Xiang finally chose the spear phalanx as a start.
In terms of training, the youth battalion went up to the mountains to hunt at the beginning, to bring protective gear to fight against each other, and then carried out extensive "blood-seeing sports", and finally initially had actual combat ability.
The pikemen of the youth battalion all serve as straight archers, and the big shield bearers strengthen their combat training, and there are very few full-time big shieldmen and pikemen. Li Xiang also tried to increase the spear throwing training for the big shield man, so as to give the enemy one more round of killing.
Diverse physical training, adequate nutrition, monotonous and easy-to-learn movements, and harsh queues all make the youth battalion phalanx unique, even though it is the most commonly used phalanx in the Great Zhou army.
Xiong Chengwu and Yang Jianchuan were outstanding in martial arts, and the big shield bearers and pikemen in the first row, Yang Jianchuan, who was wearing leather armor and hanging armor, held a special spear, waiting for a stubby and fierce thief on the opposite side to collide.
But before he could strike, several spears pierced the thief, and he was stabbed in the chest and right leg. The few coalition soldiers who rushed to the front, except for a large shieldman, were treated the same.
Several soldiers who fell to the ground rolled in pain, and two of them were more ferocious, trying to stop the bleeding according to experience. found that although the wound was not large, it could not be blocked at all, and the bleeding did not stop, and it soon lost its life.
When the officers and thieves saw this scene, some of their scalps were numb, and some of them swallowed and saliva, and their legs trembled.
Shocked, the coalition forces rushed suddenly, pushing each other in panic, and no one dared to step forward.
Pan Ze was a little surprised by the physical strength of these young people, and they actually stabbed hard and accurately, this is a few years of training, has it been training since the baby?
Thanks to the easy-to-learn three-edged gun head and the monotonous shooting of the gun that cannot be beaten every day, the youth battalion spent half a year, and finally stood in front after seeing blood and started the first hand-to-hand encounter.
