Chapter 155: Sword and Shield

Wang Lingshang is also an old Jianghu, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he immediately pushed away the corpse on his body, turned around and swung his knife, just to block the attacking short sword, and if he was one step later, he would be pierced through the heart by a sword.

"You're not dead!" Wang Lingshang was taken aback.

"My life is great." As Du Chuanyun spoke, he stabbed two swords in a row.

The two fought on the edge of the mountain rock, Du Chuanyun had a knife, but he used a short sword that he was better at, relying on the kung fu on his legs, and kept stabbing around the enemy, Wang Lingshang's knife technique was heavy, and he protected the vital point without leaking, and occasionally counterattacked, Du Chuanyun did not dare to take it hard.

After seven or eight moves, Du Chuanyun was forced to retreat again, Wang Lingshang was about to take advantage of the situation to pursue, when he suddenly heard a "hey" from behind him, and heard that it was the voice of the tired marquis, but he didn't dare to be careless, turned around and glanced at it, his heart was horrified, and he almost screamed.

Gu Juren, a companion who had died, had a dull gaze and pounced on him.

The shock was only for a moment, and Wang Lingshang immediately woke up to the fact that Gu Juren was pushed over by the tired marquis. At the same moment, Du Chuanyun stabbed another sword, Wang Lingshang swung his knife to block, and slapped the corpse with his other hand.

The sword was blocked, and the corpse was shot, but Wang Lingshang felt a chill in his stomach, looked down, and saw that a knife had stabbed him, and the knife followed the corpse, piercing directly at the last moment, not fast, but silent.

Wang Lingshang roared, raised his knife and slashed at the tired Hou behind the corpse, and it was cold again, this time it was a fatal injury, he spat out his last breath, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the person also fell.

Du Chuanyun withdrew his sword and walked around to the tired marquis, "Hey, it's okay, it's dead." ”

Han Ruzi slowly pulled out the knife and took two steps back, "Dead?" ”

"Don't be afraid, count me as the one I killed."

"I'm not afraid!" Han Ruzi said with a little annoyance.

"Whatever you want. Your hand strength is not small, it would be better if I practiced with my grandfather for another year and a half. ”

"yes." Han Ruzi squeezed out a smile, knowing very well where his strength came from.

A few soldiers ran on the mountainside, and when they saw the three corpses, they were all shocked, "What's the matter?" Were there any Huns? ”

Han Ruzi shook his head and pointed to the corpses of Wang Lingshang and Gu Juren, "They are hidden assassins. "Pointing at the soldiers," he ...... Die to save me. ”

Several soldiers who rushed in were shocked and angry, they were also fishermen from Guizi Lake, raised their knives and slashed a few times on the corpses of the guards to vent their anger, and then carried the bodies of their companions down, followed by Han Ruzi and Du Chuanyun.

"What happened to the Huns behind the mountain?" Han Ruzi asked.

"The cliff is not easy to climb, so two Huns came up, I killed one, and the other fell by himself, and I almost fell, and I almost fell down, and as soon as I climbed up, I heard them discussing how to kill you—I'm sorry, I chose them as guards."

"It's none of your business, I'm the one who put everyone in danger."

"When I was fighting with Wang Lingshang, why didn't you call someone, but went into battle by yourself?"

Han Ruzi was stunned, he didn't know why, he only had one thought at that time, he must try his best to kill Wang Lingshang, and he forgot to call someone to come over to help, "Oh no, there should be a living mouth, I haven't figured out who sold them yet." ”

"There's no way now, you'll have experience in the future, let's solve the problem under the mountain first."

The Huns at the foot of the mountain moved again, and many people ran around on horseback, shouting incessantly, as if they were going to launch a larger attack.

Han Ruzi looked into the distance, the night was endless, and they were desperate.

When Fang Daye saw the corpse, he didn't care at all, and asked Du Chuanyun directly, "Is there a way?" ”

"Behind is a cliff, unless we are all monkeys, otherwise we will die for a lifetime, no, no, for a lifetime."

"Hmm." Fang Daye is never excited, and he is not depressed at this time, "There are not many arrows, we have to leave some for use during the day, and when the Huns attack again, we have to fight hand-to-hand again, put down the bow and arrow, and pick up the sword and shield." ”

The people should have put down their bows and arrows, and some would move them to higher ground, while others lined up on the mountainside, and the Huns had come to the foot of the mountain, and were moving away the wounded and wounded and the shields and weapons that were all over the ground.

Han Ruzi and Du Chuanyun also joined the team, and Fang Daye came over and said, "You guys go to the back." ”

"No, I'm fighting with you." Han Ruzi said firmly.

Fang Daye stared at him for a while, "You are General Zhenbei, say something." ”

Han Ruzi walked to the front of the queue, first glanced at the Huns who were busy, turned to face the Chu army he brought, and had a lot to say in his heart, but he felt bored when the words came to his mouth. Apologize? That doesn't make any sense; Is it lured? All promises are too far away; Threatened? He couldn't think of anything more terrible than the Huns in front of him; Loyal to the monarch and defend the country? The soldiers in the team were reluctant to join the army to fight against the Xiongnu from the beginning, and the Jianghu people only wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill the tired marquis, and those real soldiers probably acted on orders.

Han Ruzi said loudly: "Live and die together." ”

Then he turned, knife in both hands, ashamed that he had not been able to say anything more inspiring.

"Live and die together!" Suddenly there was a cry of brushing behind him.

Han Ruzi felt a little relieved, and was a little excited, yes, someone wanted to kill him, but there were also people who saved him and followed him.

Fang Daye stepped forward and handed over a shield, Han Ruzi took it in his hand and nodded to the old general.

Fang Daye took two steps back, he didn't use a shield, he held a banner in one hand and a knife in the other.

The Huns cleared the battlefield, rode to the foot of the mountain on horseback, and shouted: "The last chance, those who surrender will be spared death." ”

Han Ruzi wanted to remind everyone that the Huns were lying, and the first persuasion was only "maybe" to avoid death, but now it has become a direct exemption from death, without any sincerity.

A crisp curse sounded behind him, and Du Chuanyun preemptively answered the persuasion of the Huns.

The man turned his horse's head and left, and a group of Hun soldiers stepped forward in line, also with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, exactly the same as the configuration of the Chu soldiers, but there were more of them, at least three hundred people, standing in more than a dozen rows, and slowly walking towards the mountain.

The only advantage of the Chu army was the narrow slopes of the hills, which the Huns could not adopt encirclement tactics.

The Huns walked and stopped, not because they were afraid, but because they had to keep their formations neat, this was a well-trained army, very similar to the Chu army, and the armor on its body was thicker.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and under the moonlight, the beast's head pattern on the shield looked extremely hideous.

Han Ruzi's mouth was dry, and in a trance he felt as if there was no one behind him, and he was facing hordes of enemies alone.

The Chu army did not release the arrows, and the Huns began to speed up their pace, slightly lowered their shields, and raised the knives in their hands high.

Han Ruzi could no longer endure the silence of the moment before the battle, and suddenly yelled loudly, wanting to release the turbidity and fear in his body.

This roar was still a little immature, but he didn't care, almost involuntarily rushed towards the Huns, he was afraid, very afraid, the more he wanted to step forward to meet the battle, to suppress the illusory fear when standing still with the most real fear.

A moment later, the roars were continuous, and the figures on both sides ran faster than General Zhenbei, Du Chuanyun took the lead, and Fang Daye's huge body surpassed Han Ruzi in two steps, blocking him behind, and more soldiers followed closely behind him like arrows from the string.

Han Ruzi no longer felt lonely, and the so-called fear disappeared in an instant, he didn't think about anything, he had only one thought: run faster, and not fall behind others.

But Fang Daye was like a rolling boulder in front of him, so he couldn't surpass it.

Soon, Fang Daye was not a problem, and the Chu army and the Huns coincidentally chose sword and shield tactics, eliminating many intermediate processes and launching fierce battles.

Han Ruzi finally appeared in front of him, he didn't see the faces of the Huns, only saw the other party's shield, so he swung his knife fiercely and slashed it, and the other party also slashed.

The steel knife slashed on the lacquered wooden shield, making a dull sound, Han Ruzi's left arm was numb, and he almost fell backwards, and he didn't know who pushed him, and the whole person pressed forward, and at the same time pushed the shield out as much as possible, so that the other party could not draw the knife immediately, and he himself tried his best to pull out the knife embedded in it from the opponent's shield, and cut it down again.

Who is the cut? Which part was cut? It doesn't matter at all, just cut the knife out.

The pressure on the shield disappeared, and Han Ruzi continued to rush forward, as if he had stepped on someone under his feet.

The battle lasted for a while, and suddenly Fang Daye's voice sounded: "Retreat!" Back off! ”

Han Ruzi has completely entered the state of battle, killing so much that he can't stop at all, he can finally distinguish between friend and foe, and found that it was Fang Daye who was blocking the way, and he was about to ask a question, but he was stopped by Fang Daye and picked up.

Fang Daye held a banner in his left hand, a knife in his right hand, and General Zhenbei under his arm, and strode towards the mountain.

Han Ruzi struggled twice, and suddenly saw the reason for retreating.

The Huns were shooting arrows.

A group of Hun cavalry followed the sword and shield infantry up the hill and was shooting indiscriminately from a distance of dozens of paces, indistinguishing between the enemy and us.

Arrows rained down, a large number of soldiers fell, tossing and wailing, Han Ruzi was not hit by the arrow, it was pure luck, and Fang Dalai's quick response.

The Chu army retreated to higher ground and was out of range of the Huns.

Han Ruzi was put down by Fang Daye, and at a glance, there were only twenty or thirty people left around him, and most of the soldiers fell under the rain of arrows.

The Huns stopped shooting arrows, their sword and shield soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, and the survivors wanted to retreat, but they didn't run far and were forced back, this time they would have the absolute advantage, and only need to kill the wounded with their knives.

"Go help!" Han Ruzi said loudly.

Fang Daye stretched out his hand to stop and shook his head.

"I said, 'live and die together', Du Chuanyun is still there......"

"It's time for us to use bows and arrows."

"But ......"

Fang Daye's gaze became stern, "You are a general, you have to do what a general should do, don't let us down." ”

Fang Daye thrust the flag into the ground, took a set of bows and arrows from a soldier, and handed it to General Zhenbei.

Han Ruzi threw down the knife and took the bow and arrow in his hand, but he couldn't draw the arrow and put it on the bow.

Fang Daye took another set of bows and arrows, "Is the general planning to wait for the Huns to kill all the Chu soldiers?" ”

The Hun sword and shield soldiers have returned to the battlefield, looking for Chu soldiers, whether they are alive or dead, they will have to cut a few knives, and they will soon be able to clear the battlefield, and then they will continue to attack.

Han Ruzi slammed his arrow and bow, aimed at the Huns on the mountainside, and then raised his arm slightly.

"It's dawn." Han Ruzi said in surprise that not long ago, the night was as deep as ink, but at this time, there was only a thin layer left.

Twenty or thirty Chu soldiers were all ready to shoot.

"Wait." Han Ruzi put down his bow and arrows, "Look! ”

In the morning light, the army of the Huns was clearly presented in front of them, and behind them, an army was speeding up, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Impossible." Fang Daye didn't put down his bow and arrows, "They haven't arrived at Broken Iron City yet." ”

"It's not just the broken iron city that has Chu soldiers." Han Ruzi didn't see it clearly, but a small hope rose in his heart. (To be continued.) )
