Chapter 257: Death on the way to the charge
"Open the cannon, aim at the gang of dog officers and soldiers at the city gate, and hit Lao Tzu hard!"
As the vicious words of several big leaders of the Wenxiang Sect landed, the gunner could no longer hesitate, and pushed the lead bullet into the mother cannon, and then several loud noises came out again.
"Boom, boom...!"
No one expected that the Wenxiang Sect would be so ruthless, regardless of their own people or the Dengzhou battalion, they actually began to fire indiscriminately, and the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion formed a close formation, even if Dong Youyin found out the clues, but after the order, it was not so easy to disperse.
A lead bullet hit the front of the formation impartially, and even if the axe gunners in the first two formations were wearing iron armor and carrying the best equipment, they were also flesh and blood, and they could not resist solid lead bullets at all.
Hearing a few screams, at least seven or eight soldiers had already fallen, this was the maximum power of the Wenxiang Sect to capture those earthen cannons, and the outside of the city gate was all soft sand, which would not be ejected at all.
But even so, seeing these comrades-in-arms who were still alive by their side being stoned to death directly, this is still not something that ordinary people can bear, even the battle-hardened soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion began to stir.
Seven or eight people were killed or wounded, which was not a big casualty, but the shock to those who were alive around was incomparable, and after a commotion among the soldiers, the gap was quickly filled under the orders of the officers.
But the good times didn't last long, and there was another round of cannons, this time there were two lead bullets that shot into the formation, and more screams, these two lead bullets directly knocked down more than a dozen soldiers.
It was the first time that the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion encountered such a dilemma, and all kinds of emotions of fear, confusion, and shock began to be written on the faces of the soldiers.
But at the same time, the surrounding rioters were not having a good time, because most of the shells actually hit them, and after a few rounds they paid a greater price than the Dengzhou battalion, and the momentum of the siege also stopped.
Many people's thoughts of benevolence and righteousness in the Wenxiang Sect completely collapsed, and they began to wonder, what three end tribulations, what three Buddhas came into the world, are they all fake, are they all to deceive them as cannon fodder?
Dong Youyin struggled to hack a Xiangxiang sect member to death, and glanced back at Gao Liang, who was struggling to slash and kill in the city, knowing that if he continued like this, it was a live target, not a way.
He gritted his steel teeth, but finally made up his mind, raised his knife horizontally, and shouted with the highest voice by pulling his neck:
"The cannonball came from over there, is there anyone who is not afraid of death, follow me Dong Youyin to kill and run over, Zhentai said to fight the snake seven inches, then how about we make a great contribution!?"
After speaking, Dong Youyin shouted again:
"Is there anyone who is not afraid of death, and I Dong Youyin will take the thief directly!!"
Hearing this, the soldiers saw the brothers who were killed by shells around them, and their anger gradually took over the fear, and they all clamoured, and the voices of provocation and scolding continued to appear.
"I'm not afraid of death!"
"Count me, you must not disgrace Zhentai!"
"And me!"
Dong Youyin laughed and said loudly:
"Today, I Dong has silver, and I can die on the battlefield with all my brothers, and this life is worth it!"
After the smoke cleared, the surrounding rioters had not yet reacted, and those incense-smelling sect members who were mixed in were constantly beating and scolding, but suddenly heard a roar.
Looking back, the soldiers of the Hongjia Dengzhou Battalion who were surrounded at the city gate were actually led by a tall general, and they rushed towards them without fear of death.
"Charge formation, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent person, kill the thief!!"
This was the decisive charge of the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion, who fought with twelve points of spirit, raised their tiger spears or axes, and advanced without any restraint, like a cluster of arrows off the string, suddenly shooting into the chest and abdomen of the rebel army.
"Hmph, they're looking for death!"
Qiu Wei, the incense master of the Smelling Incense Sect who was standing on the small hill, naturally saw it, but he sneered and didn't pay attention to it at all, there were thousands of people around, and no matter how strong the people in the Dengzhou camp were, there were only a few hundred, could they all be like Zhao Zilong in Changbanpo, and rush here.
He was right, when Dong Youyin and the remaining more than 600 soldiers rushed to the chaotic people, he was indeed caught off guard and turned the people who were killed by the chaotic people on their backs.
But soon, the rebels reacted and divided half of the people to surround them, and the remaining half took advantage of the gap left by the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion to rush into the city.
"Kill, kill the thief!"
Dong Youyin was like a killing god, even his face was covered with blood from someone he didn't know, he was carrying a big knife, his eyes were wide, and his hands never stopped for a moment.
Two Smelling Fragrance Sect members slashed over with knives, Dong Youyin roared, and slashed at the past without showing weakness, only to hear the sound of "Qiang", and one of the Smelling Fragrance Sect members looked at their knives in disbelief.
This, how is this possible, the knife was actually cut alive!?
"Little thief, I didn't expect it, you have Grandpa Silver and even more powerful!"
Dong Youyin seemed to be crazy, and quickly took a few steps up to chop the man to death, but before he could turn around, he was slashed in the back, but this knife only left a spark on the iron armor.
Dong Youyin turned around with big bloody eyes, and the Wenxiang Sect member who had just sneaked up on the party was actually frightened with a knife, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do, and finally threw down the knife and ran away directly.
The two axe gunners faced each other, and the axe guns in their hands kept stabbing and stabbing each other, and many rioters were stabbed and fell down along the way, but the good times did not last long, the axe gunners were invincible with both fists and four hands, and one was killed by a sneak attack.
"Brother!!"
The rest of the man's eyes widened, and with all his strength, he stabbed the sneak attack on the Smelling Sect to death, and he immediately knelt in front of the corpse of the axe gunner who had been attacked, choking up.
"Brother, you don't want to, you don't..."
At this moment, two Scenting Sect members on the left and right slashed at him with a lewd smile, one of them leaving a deep wound on the back of the axe gunner, and the other stabbing the knife directly into his body.
The axe-gunner, holding back the pain, threw down the axe, turned around and clutched the knife that had stabbed into his body, and burst out laughing maniacally.
"Hahahaha, dog thief! When your grandfather killed the Tartars in Liaodong, you didn't know that he was bewitching the people there!! ”
The Wenxiang sect members desperately drew their knives, but the axe gunner of the Dengzhou battalion still did not let go despite the blood flowing from his hands, but fortunately, a few chaotic people rushed from behind him.
These people rushed up and finally pulled out the knife with a "poof".
The incense sect members laughed a few times, their expressions were ruthless, and they inserted the knife mercilessly, but the axe gunner's temper was quite stubborn, and he didn't say a word.
While his eyes met the axe gunner, the Wenxiang Sect shook the knife in the stomach of the axe gunner of the Dengzhou camp a few times with his hand, and when he saw the axe gunner's expression change drastically, he laughed again.
With the last of his strength, the axe gunner pressed his blood-stained hand on the face of the Smelling Sect member, and said cursedly:
"Zhentai and brothers, they will definitely avenge me, ha, hahaha... You guys..."
Before the axe gunner could finish speaking, another Smelling Fragrance Sect member stepped forward and kicked over, and asked with a laugh:
"Where's your Wang Zhentai, huh? Revenge, Lao Tzu is going to divide your body and feed it to the dog today!! ”
The axe-gunner's last glance looked into the distance, where there was a puff of dust, and a large flag fluttered in the wind, and from the top glyph, he could tell that it was a "king" character.
As if the last concern had disappeared, the axe spearman tilted his neck and looked at the incense-smelling sect members with a strange smile, just out of breath.
"Damn, let you be ruthless!"
"Pretending to be ruthless with grandpa again??"
The soldiers who were surrounded in the center were already at the end of their rope, with heavy casualties, Dong Youyin felt that the knife weighed a thousand catties, and it took a lot of effort to swing it every time, and when he looked behind him, he didn't know how many chaotic people had rushed into the city.
"General, look over there!"
Suddenly, a soldier pointed in the distance, and Dong Youyin noticed that the dust raised over there was getting bigger and bigger, but what could this represent?
At this moment, a large banner with the word "king" suddenly appeared from the hillside, and hundreds of horsemen shook their swords, shining brightly, and scattered the incense-smelling sectarians on the hillside with a single drum.
The person at the head is the horse team officer of the Dengzhou battalion, known as "like a tiger".
