Volume 1 The Quiet River Section 30 Night Attack
"Morale is available!" Zhao Hong couldn't help but admire the strong men under his hands, each of them was struggling to eliminate the cold hard cakes in their hands, as if this hard Hu cake was a delicacy that was more delicious than the delicacies of the mountains and seas. Many people choked on the hard cakes, and they hurriedly drank a well water from the gourd, and then swallowed it hard, while still smiling on their faces.
While everyone was busy eating supper, suddenly a scream came from the west.
Immediately frightened the people who were eating! Before everyone could come to their senses, with the sound of ping-pong weapons colliding, screams came one after another.
"There is a situation." Zhao Hong shouted at his subordinates, and then he had already pulled out the fruit knife on his waist, and at the same time carried the door panel beside him, and he erected the door panel in the direction where the scream came from. The others hurriedly threw down the bread and gourd, and began to prepare for the battle.
Zhao Hong covered his body with the door panel and poked his head out at the same time. I saw that seven or eight Xianbei people had already climbed the city wall a hundred meters away. At this time, in Zhao Hong's sight, along the shadow of the firelight, several black shadows flashed, only to see them leap and appear on the wall. It turned out that the Xianbei people used a grappling hook to climb the north gate at night and sneak attack Shiyi.
At this time, Zhao Hong was already ready. The Xianbei people are wielding axes and maces to frantically slash and kill the strong men who patrol the night. The Xianbei people held axes to chop the strong men, so the strong men who were patrolling the night not far away had been killed by the Xianbei people and fled in all directions.
"Vertical door panels!" With Zhao Hong's order, this strong man immediately lined up in a row on the two-zhang wide road of the city wall, a column of walls composed of door panels. Ten erected doors faced the Xianbei people and began to slowly approach.
The Xianbei people, who were wielding maces to chase the strong men, saw this wall of door panels, and slowly approached them, pressing towards them like a road roller. This huge door panel, but I can't see the strong sense of oppression brought by the people behind to the Xianbei people. This made the Xianbei people can't help but give up chasing and killing Zhuangding, and focus on Zhao Hong's team.
When the strong man passed by a fire, Zhao Hong turned around and picked up a burning wooden stick, and the others around him followed his example and picked up the burning wooden sticks one after another.
The distance between the two sides was only thirty paces, and since they had never seen such a situation, the Xianbei people armed with axes and maces only united the city in a tight battle formation on the city wall, and did not take the initiative to attack. They also held the weapons in their hands tightly, and approached Zhao Hong, a strong man, step by step.
There are only fifteen steps left on both sides, "Throw!" With Zhao Hong's shout, nearly ten torches flew out from behind the door panel, like meteors crossing the sky, leaving a flickering trajectory and falling into the ranks of the Xianbei people.
The Xianbei people who were caught off guard were suddenly hit, and the burning torches suddenly burned the Xianbei people grinned and burned the ground to open the meat. The tight formation that had been united suddenly spread out a lot. Some of the Xianbei people who were on fire danced on the city wall, and their shining clothes mixed with their jumping postures were so good-looking.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the Xianbei people to dodge the torches and disperse in formation, Zhao Hong shouted at the strong man of this Shi, "Rush! ”。 I saw that these ten door panels suddenly accelerated forward, and immediately crashed into the Xianbei people's bodies. The unexpected Xianbei people were immediately knocked down by the high-speed rushing door panel,
The strong man of Baoji Village viciously stepped on the soft lower abdomen of the Xianbei man who fell to the ground. The Xianbei man, who had been stepped on hard, suddenly squeezed out of his mouth with gastric juice mixed with undigested food.
The Xianbei people, who couldn't afford to wait, were trampled to sober up. The strong men of Baoji Village knelt on one knee one after another, raised their right hands high with various short blades, and stabbed or split at the neck, head, chest and other vital hands of the Xianbei people who fell to the ground. With the blood splashing on the ground, the fallen Xianbei people returned to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven one after another.
Zhao Hong also relied on his height advantage, and he only stopped after knocking down two Xianbei people in a row. Then he knelt on one knee and stabbed the fruit knife into the soft neck of the Xianbei man who was pressed under his knee, and suddenly the trachea, lymph, and esophagus of the Xianbei man with braided hair all entered the air. The red and green organs on the neck leaked out, and at the same time as Zhao Hong pulled out the fruit knife, the blood spurting out along the wound splashed Zhao Hong's face.
The door panel of the strong man of Baoji Village finally lost its momentum and stopped. The Xianbei warrior, who had recovered from the thunder strike just now, swung his axe, and rushed up with his mace, slashing and smashing at the door panels.
The short Xianbei people have big bellies, and their arms and legs are terribly short, just like the more common Japanese devils in later generations. But the Xianbei people have a strength that does not match their bodies, they pull out a mace or axe into a circle, and the whirring mace suddenly hits the door panel, and the door panel that has lost its momentum is beaten backwards. Zhao Hong's upper arms and elbows against the door panel were also hit purple and blue by the huge force from the door panel.
"This little man is really fierce!" Zhao Hong gritted his teeth to support the door panel, and the situation of others was not as good as Zhao Hong, but everyone was struggling to support the door panel. Although they were knocked backwards, the line of defense made up of door panels was still airtight.
A few but Xianbei warriors squeezed through the gap between the door panels with their bodies and came to the side of the strong men of Baoji Village. But by the time the two sides found each other, they were basically physically attached. In such a small space, there is no room for either mace or axe to wield. The Xianbei people, who had not had time to raise their maces, were suddenly stabbed by the short blade in the hands of the strong men of Baoji Village, and then the Xianbei people's bodies fell unwillingly. Although the Xianbei people kept retreating the defense line composed of the door panel of Baoji Village, and even two warriors smashed the gap in the door panel and rushed in, the door panel never showed signs of disintegration.
Just when the strong men of Baoji Village were about to hold on, the county soldiers sleeping under the north city gate came up from behind the Xianbei people. The soldiers of the county armed with spears and halberds stabbed in front of the Xianbei people, and the Xianbei warriors turned around one after another, using axes, forearm shields, and heavy maces to block the spears and halberds that stabbed them. However, the small space on the city wall still caused several Xianbei people to be stabbed and fall down.
The arrival of the county soldiers made a considerable number of Xianbei warriors attracted the attention of the county soldiers behind them, and the pressure on the door panel defense line of Baoji Village suddenly lightened.
"Stand back!" With Zhao Hong's order, the strong men of Baoji Village took the initiative to take a few steps back, and distanced themselves from the Xianbei people who were suffering from the enemy.
"Attack!" With Zhao Hong's shout again, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Hong's Baoji Zhai Zhuangding suddenly accelerated again and rushed towards the Xianbei people. The Xianbei warriors who had already focused their attention on resisting the stabbing of the long-pole weapons of the county soldiers were suddenly attacked from both sides, and four or five Xianbei people were knocked to the ground by the door panel, and then killed on the ground by the strong men of Baoji Village. And such a collision in Baoji Village caused the Xianbei warriors who were originally retreating to resist the spear halberd to crash into the sharp halberd tip in a dense formation. Many Xianbei warriors were worn on top of halberds and turned into meat skewers.
Under the blows from both sides, more than a dozen Xianbei warriors who had already landed in the city died like melting ice beside the fire. The soldiers rushed to the rope grappling hook and cut the rope. There was a painful sound of "poof" and "poof" on the ground.
Zhao Hong's strong men picked up the torches on the fire and threw them under the city wall. Under the light of a string of torches like flares, I saw dozens of Xianbei people fleeing from the desert by the moat under the city wall. Everyone on the city wall finally let out a long breath.
The night went by. When it was about to get late the next afternoon, four or five county soldiers walked into the temporary resettlement site of Zhao Hong and others with strings of copper coins.
"Lord Prefectural Order, in recognition of your bravery last night. He has given you this as a reward. ”
After speaking, the soldiers of the county put strings of copper coins at the door of the barracks, and then turned and left. Zhao Hong and the others had not yet gotten up due to the fatigue of last night's fierce fighting, and the sleepy-eyed people glanced at the county soldiers in a daze, and then fell asleep again.
A few days later, the Xianbei people, who had failed in the sneak attack, finally left Shiyi City. They departed with the plundering population and supplies.
The city gate of Shiyi was still closed, so Zhao Hong and the others couldn't leave, but the atmosphere in the city eased a lot. Zhao Hong also took his subordinates to start shopping in Shiyi City, after all, it was not easy to come to the city.
The various businesses in the city have become very active, and after the siege was lifted, everyone's faces were filled with joy. This atmosphere inevitably infected the strong men from Baoji Village.
Along the four-zhang wide streets in the city, the strong men of Baoji Village looked left and right. The houses on both sides of the road are more magnificent, which is naturally not comparable to the thatched house-based Baoji Village. The market in the city is also relatively prosperous, rapping and beating drums. These literary and artistic works of the Han Dynasty also worked hard to provide spiritual products for people. There are many willow trees planted on both sides of the road, and many people have some flowers and plants outside their doors. The greening work in these cities reminded Zhao Hong of Zhengzhou, known as the "Green City" where he lived in his previous life, when the French plane trees next to Zhengzhou's Jinshui Road covered the sky and the sun and had always been considered an ideal home for birds. When Zhao Hong passed through this main road in Zhengzhou as a child, he always had to run fast to avoid being hit by the raining guano bombers in the sky. Thinking of this, Zhao Hong couldn't help but smile, and then thought of his parents in his previous life, and he didn't know if they could withstand the blow of losing themselves, and if their life was okay now?
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Hong's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little......
