Chapter 12: An Inexplicable Attack

On the morning of the third day, after a brief drink of fish and vegetable porridge, Gongzi Wei Xing led the two teams that had been rotated to take a raft across a lake about twenty or thirty miles in diameter, go out from this end of the Secret Valley, and then secretly return to Phoenix Fort.

When they arrived at the lake, everyone hurriedly removed their leather armor, fur hats and raisins, and Gongzi Wei Xing gently said to the people on the two rafts: "Go back, be careful, don't be discovered!" ”

A mountain peak five miles away is their hometown before they built a stone fort, where they have lived for eleven or two years, and the full memories of Gongzi Wei Xing's childhood are left here.

Before, everyone wanted to build a stone castle near the lake, and they were all too familiar with the grass and trees here!

However, in order to keep the matter of Migu from being discovered, Gongzi Wei Xing suggested that everyone build a stone castle by a river more than 20 miles away.

Everyone knew what the vineyard meant to Phoenix Castle, but they couldn't get over it emotionally for a while, and finally acquiesced to Gongzi Wei Xing's opinion.

Looking at everything that was once familiar by the lake, everyone seemed a little sentimental.

"Don't be sentimental like a woman, when we're strong, we can move back at any time!" Gongzi Wei Xing quipped loudly.

"Really, Childe?" Wei Cheng, who had always spoken little, asked with some joy.

No matter who you are, you will sometimes remember and miss the place where you lived in your childhood, and you feel that that place is the most beautiful place in the world!

"Yes! When we're strong enough to protect what we can, we'll come back. ”

The environment around this lake is very good, very suitable for human habitation, and future generations will not be able to retain such a primitive and pure lake.

Even if it is fortunately preserved, once it is discovered, it will immediately be enclosed into an artificial scenic area, and all the flavors of nature will be lost.

Everyone silently put on their leather armor, took up their bags, picked up crossbows and weapons, and walked into the distance.

The leather armor is of the back type, from the bottom to the knees, from the back, and then a cloth belt is tied around the waist;

The leather on the arm is sewn from the softest leather, and in order not to interfere with the movement of the arm, this part of the leather armor is composed of only six layers of leather.

At first, some people were not very comfortable and felt that it affected their movements, and wanted to remove the part of the arm, but they could consider safety considerations, and finally stayed.

Gongzi Wei Xing persuaded: "After a long time, the one I wear will slowly become familiar and adaptable, just like my own clothes!" ”

Suddenly, a burst of arrows came from the woods not far away!

Regardless of whether they were hit by an arrow or not, everyone in Phoenix Fort took advantage of the situation and fell down!

"Childe, what should I do?" Wei Zhong crawled over and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, lie quietly and put on a fur hat!" Gongzi Wei Xing commanded in a voice that most people around him could hear, and then took off the bag behind his back and pressed it casually on the leg that the leather armor could not cover.

Everyone's fur caps are hung over the shoulder of the left arm and are easy to grasp.

Soon, a group of Qiang people emerged from behind the woods;

At the signal of the leader, three more arrows rained down.

After waiting for a while, this group of Qiang people slowly walked over, forming a semi-encircled posture.

When they reached the right distance, Gongzi Wei Xing suddenly raised his head and said, "Counterattack!" ”

Crossbow arrows shot out from the ground and shot at the enemy less than 100 meters away.

Although the number of crossbow arrows is not as high as the previous rain of arrows, the hit rate is extremely high.

The Qiang people on the opposite side are also elite warriors who have experienced battles, and they all fell to the ground as quickly as they could when they found something bad at the first time.

Despite this, many Qiang people were still caught off guard and unfortunately hit by arrows!

Crossbow arrows were originally known for their powerful impact power, and very few people who were hit by arrows within 100 meters survived.

The three arrows on the crossbow were all fired at the first time, and everyone in Phoenix Fort was silently loading the crossbow arrows sideways, ready to launch the next wave of attacks.

encountered an ambush more than two miles away from the lake, which surprised Gongzi Wei Xing;

I blame myself for my carelessness!

I made up my mind that no matter how familiar the environment is in the future, we must set up outposts and outposts, and we will not repeat the mistakes of the past!

In the vast and desolate Western Regions, there is a state of strong meat and weak food everywhere;

It is quite normal to be attacked by an inexplicable enemy in an inexplicable place.

The laws of the Western Jin Dynasty court can't be controlled here, the Western Regions only talk about fists and strength, the strong are kings, and the naked law of the jungle is much more barbaric than the Central Plains civilization.

In the impression of the people of the Central Plains, the Western Regions is a barren land, full of uncivilized savages, unsightly!

To a certain extent, Gongzi Wei Xing also thinks so.

As time passed, the people on both sides were silent, silently stalemate.

"Is anyone hurt?" Childe Wei Xing continued to lie on the ground and asked softly.

"Childe, Wei Cheng and the other two team members have been hit by arrows in the legs!" Wei Zhong replied.

"I'm grass! It's legs again! Gongzi Wei Xing scolded casually, and continued: "Wait for my order, the people around me surround the wounded and prepare to bandage, and the others are ready to squat and shoot at any time!" ”

About a minute later, Gongzi Wei Xing whispered, "Three, two, one, start!" ”

At the same time, Gongzi Wei Xing also squatted up with a crossbow in his hand!

The men around the wounded immediately stood up, their crossbows facing outward, and formed a circle to guard the wounded, and one of them immediately lowered their crossbows, drew arrows, smeared wine, and bandaged them.

It's a sport that I've been trained for a while, and it's all familiar and calm.

As expected, the Qiang people on the opposite side immediately reacted and drew their bows to shoot!

Unlike crossbows, ordinary bows and arrows are difficult to use when lying on the ground, and even if they are shot, their strength is weak!

The warriors who had already prepared in Phoenix Fort successfully killed the Qiang people who dared to stand up and fight back.

For a while, the Qiang people were dumbfounded, and they were all surprised and very surprised.

Originally, they were shooting in the woods, a little farther away, and they didn't see the situation clearly;

got closer, and suddenly encountered a counterattack, but everyone was stunned, and they didn't see clearly what was going on!

Now that the two sides are shooting at each other, the Qiang people who are still alive finally see this clearly, and they are all surprised that the leather armor and leather hat on the other party's body can block sharp arrows within a range of 100 meters, and they feel incredible!

Because their upper body was also wearing tight-fitting leather armor, covering the important parts of the body, but they were ruthlessly killed by the crossbow arrows on the opposite side!

Seeing that the Qiang people living on the opposite side were still very patient and hidden, and did not take the opportunity to scatter, Gongzi Wei Xing realized that the opposite side was a real elite.

"Childe, it's all bandaged!" Wei Zhong shouted.

"Good! A group of three or four people, load up the crossbow arrows, bend over and push forward step by step, pay attention to safety! Gongzi Wei Xing ordered.

According to the previous training, everyone leaned together with the nearest two or three people and slowly moved forward.

As the people of Phoenix Fort gradually approached, the Qiang people who were still alive became restless.

Although they are all elite warriors and have killed countless people, they are also extremely afraid when death befalls them, and they cannot face the coming of death normally.

The people of Phoenix Fort were getting closer and closer, and some of the Qiang people couldn't bear this pre-death atmosphere, so they stood up angrily and threw the rudimentary javelins in their hands.

As expected, they all went to Huangquan Road one by one, and the remaining Qiang people were even more frightened!

Suddenly, the leader of the Qiang let out a strange howl, and the Qiang people who were still alive all crawled up frantically, and most of them rushed over as if they were dead, and only five or six people took the opportunity to flee in the opposite direction.
