Chapter 117: Horse Bandits Coming to the Door in the Middle of the Night
Orion's Nest Bow is specifically explained as a trigger trap bow. The use of the nest bow used by hunters in ordinary mountains is not to expect this thing to kill tigers and bears, but often used in combination with traps, and the nest bow is covered with wooden arrows - that is, sharpen the wooden stick, it is best to hurt the beast, and if it is not injured, it will be forced into the trap.
The situation in the fifth floor village is different, since Jiang Feng began to send equipment, supplies, and raw materials here in a big way, the original days were relatively nervous, and these people who couldn't tell whether it was Orion or what household they were were had a lot more relaxed. The veteran officer who led the training reminded them that it was best to set up some traps at night.
Yang Da put on the nest bow, but this bow uses a standard strong bow, and the arrow is also a good arrow with a carved iron blade, so it can be said that as long as it is triggered, at least it is a serious injury.
The people outside obviously didn't expect that little Zhuangzi would have such a sharp weapon, and after being shot, the sharp pain immediately made him can't help but howl miserably.
By the time Jiang Feng rushed out of the house, the so-called 'Tie Ding' and the hunters were already standing on top of the stone house, there was a half-human-high stone wall in front of them, and they were all lying there, there was already a faint fire outside, and the exceptions were extremely noisy, but there were more voices inside.
Jiang Feng held the steel knife in his hand, and walked to the bottom of the stone house when he was about to walk towards it. was grabbed by the old officer, and there he lowered his voice and said:
"One of the wogongs outside was killed, and when the children rushed out, two people had just climbed onto the stone wall and were slashed with knives."
"Are any of us hurt?"
Jiang Feng was a little nervous in his heart, he was not stage frightened when he fought bravely with others in Huifeng Tower and Jingshi, but in the wilderness, he began to be nervous and worried in his heart, as soon as the old officer said the words of slashing to death, he immediately felt a thrill all over his body, and then he smelled some blood, and immediately came to his senses.
The old officer listened to the "we" just now, and said in a low voice, "You take it with you first, it looks calculating." ”
The old officer climbed up to the roof of the stone house with his waist down, and the stone house directly has steps to go up in this direction inside, Chen Dahu himself is to build this small village according to some fortresses in the border pass, basically if the other party does not have stones and artillery, the people who hide behind the stone wall will basically not receive any damage.
After arriving at the roof, seeing that the old officer followed a few people and didn't know what to say, and then by the light of the fire outside, he saw a person standing up, Jiang Feng gasped, wouldn't this be looking for death. Sure enough, the man had just peeked out of the stone wall.
Hearing a few sharp swishing sounds, he had already been pierced by a few sharp arrows, and fell down softly, but the iron men above were silent, and they did not exclaim, and then saw the old officer chop off the man's head with a knife, and then threw the headless body out.
The noise outside was quiet for a while, and then it was angry scolding, but Jiang Feng couldn't understand the scolding voice, I don't know when Yang Da and Zhang Liang were already standing beside him, Yang Da was holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and he was hanging an arrow bag around his waist listening to the scolding sound outside, and the expression on his face was extremely frightened under the reflection of the bright light. Kept whispering:
"It's a Tartar, it's a Tartar!?"
Zhang Liang spat at the ground and scolded fiercely:
"It's fucking good luck that you can meet Tartar horse bandits in this place!"
The old officer had already come down from the roof, and first whispered to the people standing in the open space of Zhuangzi:
"Flash behind the wall or behind the house, stand here in the clearing, waiting for the meat to be skewered!"
More than a dozen hunters standing in the open space walked to a sheltered place under the leadership of Yang Da, the iron men in the hands of those on the wall had already held big shields and began to cover themselves, the old officer led Jiang Feng and Zhang Liang into the scope of the stone house, and the rest of the seventy young people inside were all split up and down, but there was one thing that made Jiang Feng quite strange, their firearms were all on their backs, and they were holding big knives and spears in their hands.
"Why don't you use a firecracker?"
Jiang Feng asked in a low voice with Tie Dan, who was standing inside, and Tie Dan also lowered his voice and replied:
"Zhang Baihu said that the fire gun thing is useless, it is better to go out with a big knife and spear to cut and kill, since he came, these young men have stopped contacting the fire gun."
Jiang Feng scolded in a low voice, he couldn't argue about this at this time, he didn't go up to the top of the stone house, naturally he didn't know how many people were outside, but what he didn't expect was that the word "Tartar" was such a huge deterrent to these strong men.
"Outside are the Tartars, estimated at three hundred, and now the fortifications are so strong that if we hold out until dawn, the Tartars will retreat."
Hearing that it was a tartar of three hundred people, the faces of the seventy people in the room were quite wonderful, and some people's weapons suddenly fell to the ground, and more people were full of despair, and the old officer looked at these young people in front of him a little helplessly, and the hundred households in the Ming Dynasty naturally would not do any 'ideological work' to encourage morale.
In fact, the old officer's heart was also desperate, the inside of the grate was full of recruits who were rarely seen in blood, and there were a lot of knives and guns in the weapons, but more of them were 'flashy' firearms, how could they resist more than 300 murderous Mongolian Tatar horse bandits outside.
The old officer's words were originally expected to arouse the fighting spirit of these newcomers, but now it seems that they have a completely counterproductive effect, the so-called iron ding is already about to be chaotic, and a young man at the front suddenly threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, crying and scolding:
"I thought it would be ...... to be a housekeeper here."
Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by Jiang Feng, and the two slaps were kicked on the ground with two slaps in the face, and the movements were so fast that they could not see clearly, Jiang Feng scolded hatefully there:
"Want to die? Do you know what these Tartars eat outside? Eating human flesh, you just don't want to be beaten, you are caught by them, and you are torn off and eaten alive, even if you die, your meat will be pickled into jerky by them, and you will not be at peace in life or death. ”
The children of these military households and artisan battalions, from childhood to adulthood, have listened to the old people who have been to the border in the guard station tell the stories of the ferocious barbarians in the north, and tell them about their terrible, and for so many years, they have been beaten for decades since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
At the time of the Tumubao Change, even the emperor was taken captive to the grassland, and he knew that the Emperor Zhengde had only a little offensive, but after so many years, the horror of the Tartars has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Although the old officer and Zhang Liang on the side were ready to fight to the death, they were a little inexplicable when they saw Jiang Feng say this, and now they still want to scare these people who have not even seen the battlefield, the one Jiang Feng was holding was even more pale and speechless.
The people around him were a little unsteady, and their whole bodies were trembling, but Jiang Feng showed a smile on his face and said:
"Soft eggs, would you rather kneel in the courtyard and wait for death, and be eaten by the Tartars after death, or now take the knife and gun in your hand and fight the bastards outside. It's enough to spell one. ”
The ancient people paid the most attention to the soil for peace, if it was said that it was eaten after death, it was really intolerable, hearing Jiang Feng say this, the fear in each heart turned into a thought of wanting to fight, and his eyes slowly became firm.
The horse bandits outside the fifth floor village are the real cavalry of the Mongolian barbarian department, this year's heavy snowstorm, so that almost all the cattle and sheep in the tribe froze to death, in the past, they encountered such a year, they all had to go to the south of the Ming country to burn and loot. This time will be no exception.
Gathered hundreds of cavalry under the leadership of thousands of Darul into the border, originally the little prince's conscription order has been issued, the cavalry of various tribes to go to the Golden Horde to gather, but Darul was born as a horse bandit in the past, and he is quite familiar with the roads and defenses of the Ming Dynasty.
With the idea of getting a vote first, he quietly infiltrated the territory of the Ming Dynasty with his troops, the defense of the Ming Dynasty is a lax now, and hundreds of Daruer horsemen are getting closer and closer to the Beijing Division, according to his ideas, now loot a few small villages around to replenish supplies, and then see the opportunity to make a big deal and withdraw to the grassland to enjoy the blessings.
The Ming Dynasty would think that it was the action of bandits, so naturally they would not care about it, and they would not be able to fight to the death with the little prince's army in Xuanhua Datong.
After coming here and sacking a few villages, Daru's cavalry, wearing clothes stripped from the dead, looked for easy targets on the official road, seven or eight carts and unguarded Jiang Feng, they naturally became targets, and three hundred people put their horses on the side of the road.
Taking advantage of the night to touch it, no one thought that the person who walked in the front didn't know why he was hit by the bow, this kind of defense mechanism, which few small villages were slaughtered, but it was just a wooden arrow, and the bow strength was also insufficient, and the shot was a small wound, but tonight under the moonlight, I watched the companion be pierced by a long arrow, and walked to the ground with a miserable howl.
The two who climbed to the low wall were directly grabbed and chopped off by the people inside, and Darul's eyes saw that the stone wall of the fifth floor village was about to burst into flames, and there were still three hours before dawn, and his men were cutting down trees around to make weapons for attack.
We must slaughter this Zhuangzi!!
The fear of the young people in the room was gradually filled with a kind of courage, fighting one is flat, fighting two is earning, it is better than being eaten like this, not to mention that in the past, he ate bran in the guard, and came to the fifth floor village to eat meat and drink wine, there are such good things there, and only by living can he continue to enjoy.
The hand that had been holding the weapon loosely was also tightened, and the spirit of fear began to be filled with blood, and the old officer was surprised to see all this, and hurriedly organized his team to the back of the house outside to prepare for battle, and he couldn't stay in this large stone house all the time.
Zhang Liang looked at Jiang Feng in surprise there, and said in a low voice:
"Master, you are really amazing, and you can raise your morale in a few words."
Jiang Feng couldn't care about being happy, took a two-handed Pu knife on the weapon rack in the stone house, opened his mouth and said:
"Scare and scare them, make up a Tartar to eat human flesh to provoke these rabbit cubs, I don't believe that there are more than 100 people here, there is no room to fight back!"
"Master......"
"What?"
"When the Tartar soldiers have no food, they really eat human flesh!"
