Volume 2 The Wind and Rain of the Imperial Capital Chapter 109 The Night Battle in the Mountains and Forests (Medium) The Second Update

Although Lu Zhen didn't know how to use soldiers, he had seen a lot of historical romances before, and there was no shortage of descriptions of war. Of course, there are exaggerated elements of the protagonist in these stories, and many of them are unrealistic, but some of them are still useful after all.

In a situation like the present, for example, a simple trap is enough to make a thief fall for it. Even though they have some strength, they are only a rabble after all, so how can they make all kinds of preparations like an army?

Moreover, Lu Zhen still has more than a dozen crossbow machines in his hands, which is a big killing weapon. Once the enemy rushed to the front, the continuous shooting of powerful arrows played a very strong killing and deterrent effect, so that the bandits who rushed to the front fell to the ground, and at the same time, the people behind immediately subconsciously retreated.

"It's a trap!"

"Let's go!" These bandits have no military discipline at all, and once they encounter such a situation, their first reaction is to flee quickly. Soon, a wave of attacks was completely repulsed, and many people even crawled with them, only hating their father and mother for giving birth to their own two legs.

Liu Heihu saw this situation behind his back, and his whole face turned blue with anger: "Waste! How many people can there be in this camp, can't we have more than 100 brothers to eat? Let me continue to show our ability to Crouching Tiger Village! ”

With his roar and a kick that kicked one of the brothers who had fled to him, the fellows who had been repelled by the rain of arrows finally regained their courage, turned their heads, and charged the camp again. This time, however, they learned their lesson and instead of attacking from the front, they went around to the flanks and rear.

With the light of the stars and moon outside, and the bonfire that was still not extinguished, the soldiers also saw the sudden change of tricks of the thief. With a greeting, they quickly reversed the direction of their attacks, and the crossbows that had been reloaded with arrows were already in sight.

This time, instead of letting the bandits fire their arrows as before, they did not hesitate to pull the trigger as soon as they were in range. With a crisp crash, the arrow pierced through the still thick tent again, and shot straight at the enemy who surrounded it.

But this time, the effect was much worse than before, and only a few people fell to the ground with arrows. It's not that the lethality of the crossbow bolt decreases after increasing the distance, in fact, as long as it enters the range, the sharpness of the crossbow machine in the army is enough to kill people. It's just because the enemy is much more alert after suffering losses, and while advancing, he constantly borrows the stones and trees around him as cover, and at the same time cats his waist. As soon as an arrow hit, they immediately dodged, so that they avoided most of the rain of arrows.

Seeing this, everyone shouted pity. Quickly pull the bracket open again and load the arrows into it. At this moment, the biggest problem with the crossbow machine was also exposed, this thing was much more powerful than a bow and arrow, but it was also more troublesome before each shot. Just now, it was because those bandits retreated that they were able to calmly continue to fire, but now the situation is different.

Fortunately, the soldiers here are all people with some combat experience, and they have also fought with the Mongols in the defense of the city, so they will not panic because of the enemy's approach, and still finish the work at hand steadily, and then shoot sharp arrows again.

It's a pity that although the distance between the two sides is shorter because of the enemy's proximity, the damage to them is still limited. At the same time, the bandits also saw their weakness, and one of them shouted: "Kill it, they won't have time to fire the third arrow!" ”

At a shout, dozens of bandits rushed towards the camp at a faster speed, and in a blink of an eye they were once again on the edge of the tent, smiling and trying to cut through the tent and slaughter all the people inside.

But at that moment, a short bowstring sounded again, followed by a rain of arrows on the men at the front. The officers and men in the tent finally released arrows again when the enemy attacked them. And this time, because it was close at hand, many people couldn't dodge these fast-flying arrows, and suddenly more than a dozen people fell to the ground with arrows.

However, the effect of the crossbow machine to stop the enemy ended here, and when they saw that there would be a gap between the two arrows, the other bandits had no fear at all, and after being stunned for a moment, they pounced fiercely again.

Suddenly, a tent on the left had been slashed. But before the knife-wielding bandit could rejoice, a bright sword flash flashed out, and he was knocked to the ground in one fell swoop. Immediately, another spear stabbed out, stabbing his companion to the heart.

It was only at this time that they were surprised to see that five or six soldiers with weapons stood side by side in the tent, and after shouting, they rushed towards themselves without hesitation. Behind them, several crossbows were tossed aside, but as they fired the last arrow, they had already picked up the weapons around them.

The same situation also appeared in several other tents, and these officers and soldiers were indeed more ferocious than ordinary bandits, and under a round of killing, they forcibly beat the enemy who surrounded them straight back, and at the same time, the soldiers and horses in several tents gathered in one place and stopped in front of the big tent in the middle. Because inside is where Lu Zhen and the second daughter are hiding, their purpose is to protect their safety.

After a round of attacks, not only did he fail to defeat the fat sheep, but he broke many brothers, which made Liu Heihu's face turn white. In just a moment, more than forty brothers in his Crouching Tiger Village died under the attack of his opponent, and these guys on the other side were still so full of beards and tails, which was a situation he had never encountered since he established himself here.

It seems that he still underestimated these guys, they are not only hard bones, but even iron bones. This bite not only broke a full mouthful of teeth, but also splashed his own blood!

But at this point, things are no longer possible! The only way to kill these guys is to take their corpses and ask for more benefits from the people of Guojiazhuang!

And just when he was stunned, his subordinates' attack on the enemy in front of him was launched again. With a shout, the bandits waved their weapons and struck at their targets from all directions.

But the other party was obviously very calm and orderly, and he actually relied on the tent to form a circle and block the surging attack of the bandits.

As a result, after some fighting, although the officers and soldiers were injured, and two people died, the bandits who attacked them suffered heavy casualties, not to mention more than a dozen people who fell at once, and the dozen or so people who retreated were also injured, and the look of fear flashed in their eyes.

This is the real strength of the bandits and the official army.

Perhaps the bandits were able to rely on a momentum to defeat the officers and soldiers during the strong attack, but that was only an isolated case, and they had to meet the weakest officers and soldiers. But it is obvious that this time everyone in Crouching Tiger Village met the elite of the Datong army, they had fought with the Mongolian people without falling behind, and they naturally kept a firm defense against this point of bandits.

Liu Heihu originally planned to personally lead people to rush over at this time. But as soon as he saw such a result, the knife he had just raised fell with it. He knew his weight very well, even if his martial arts were passable, he would definitely not be able to please in front of this defensive formation.

The circular array set up by the officials and soldiers in front of them was like a fierce beast against a hedgehog to the bandits, and there was no place to start.

"Owner, what should I do?" The brothers who were already timid all looked at Liu Heihu with their eyes to see what his idea was. Attacking like the one just now will only make more brothers die here.

Liu Heihu also understood this, and after a tremor of the muscles on his face, he suddenly thought of something: "Quick, take out our bows and arrows!" "Why are you so stupid, just now the other party showed the way, and he was stupid enough to ask someone to attack, isn't this with the lives of his brothers?

The other bandits were stunned for a moment, then laughed knowingly. Soon, thirty or so rudimentary bows and arrows were brought to the front, and the archers quickly mounted the arrows and aimed at them.

With a command, dozens of bamboo arrows whistled towards the officers and soldiers in front.

Although the bows used by these bandits were made of bamboo and wood, had a short range and were not very powerful, they were long-range weapons after all. And under such a dense rain of arrows, the weakness of its lethality was also compensated.

Sure enough, when the soldiers faced the arrows that rained down, although they tried their best to block and parry, people kept being hit by the arrows. A few who were unlucky even got shot in the vital point and fell to the ground, and they couldn't survive.

As soon as this method worked, Liu Heihu and his brothers were in high spirits, and immediately shouted and shot more arrows forward, vowing to shoot all these enemies.

"Your Excellency...... Now it seems that we have no chance of winning. Li Xian and Lin Lie stood in front of Lu Zhen and the two girls, but the arrows that slipped through the net were all knocked away by them: "It's nothing if we die, but you can't fall into their hands." It's better to let Brother Lin take you from the back first, and we can hold on for a while! ”

"Yes, my lord, you go first, we will stand in their way!" Several soldiers from Guangling also said the same thing.

A hint of gratitude flashed in Lu Jin's eyes. These people really regard themselves as masters, but let him abandon everyone and leave like this, he really can't do it. What's more, the terrain here is so complicated, and it is the home of the bandits in front of you, can you really escape?

So he immediately said: "No! I, Lu Jin, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, either go together or die together! While saying this, he also glanced back at Chu Yunrong.

Chu Yunrong felt the meaning of his words, and his originally pale face was a little more bloody, but his eyes looked very firm, and he also nodded at Lu Jin.

And at this moment, a new round of arrow rain splashed over, and several more people were hit. Obviously, as long as they come a few more rounds, few officers and soldiers will be able to stand anymore......
