Chapter 114: Fighting the Fishmen
Not every group of people is as skilled as Niu Dazhuang's group, but they all caused some damage to the fishmen to a greater or lesser extent.
The seven fish-men hurriedly retreated from under the wall, and one of them had a pickaxe hanging from his back. The owner of the pickaxe didn't have time to take it back at the time, and was almost dragged out by the fishman, but fortunately there was a rope around his waist, and he let go in time, which saved his life.
After being wounded, the fish-men did not flee, but roared at the people on the wall, the fish-men screamed very strangely, sounding like a series of low grunts, not very scary, but when they roared, they showed a mouth full of sharp teeth, which was still very intimidating.
The fishman was standing five or six meters away from the wall, there was no more suitable target than this, Pan Xiaogu hurriedly beckoned the crossbowman to come to the wall, and ten people aimed at a fishman and shot with a crossbow.
The crossbow in the camp is also the Tang Army's military crossbow, which is just a light hunting crossbow that can be loaded with arm strength, and its power is not as exaggerated as that of a heavy crossbow, and the effective range is only fifty or sixty meters away.
According to Pan Xiaogu's instructions, all the crossbowmen aimed at the big eyes that protruded slightly on both sides of the fishman's head, these crossbowmen were not professional marksmen, and the accuracy was the same, but ten people shot at a target, and the distance was so close, someone would always hit the target.
With a dull sound of bowstrings, thirty crossbow arrows swooped down on the target like a swarm of flying locusts.
The fish-man had some wisdom, and when he heard the sound of the bowstring, he immediately raised his arm and waved it back and forth in front of his eyes, trying to block the flying crossbow arrows.
The bolts crackled and slammed into the heads of the three fishmen who were targeted, most of the bolts were bounced off by the scales on the fishmen's heads, and the other part was blocked by the fishmen with their arms, and only two of the bolts were lucky enough to hit the eyes of the two fishmen, turning them into cyclops.
"Immediately retreat and reload, hand-to-hand combat team ready!" Amidst the screams of the fishmen, Pan Xiaogu commanded loudly.
The crossbowmen were ordered to retreat from the wall and began to load, and the hand-to-hand combat team that had just retreated hurriedly returned to the top of the wall with their weapons. There is a ramp on the inward-facing side of the camp wall to make it easier for the people in the camp to get up and down.
The expected situation of the fish-man rushing over in anger did not happen, and although the fish-man's roar seemed to get louder, it did not have the slightest intention of rushing up.
It seems that the fish-people are not very brave and will run away after being injured?
Pan Xiaogu remembered the habits of the fishmen in the World of Warcraft, and hesitated in his heart whether to send someone to jump out and take the initiative to attack.
"The Guards are ready to attack!" Pan Xiaogu quickly made a decision to let the guards take the initiative, and he believed that these guards who had been on the battlefield could defeat the fishmen.
The guards also had ropes tied around their waists, which was a necessary precaution, and the south gate of the camp had been sealed, so that in the event of an accident, they could be pulled back.
"After going down, work in groups of three, and don't stay away from the wall." When the guards were in place, Pan Xiaogu kept reminding loudly, and when he saw that all the guards were in place, he immediately yelled
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Twenty guards yelled at the same time and jumped off the wall.
In fact, at this time, it would be more handsome if Pan Xiaogu could jump down with him, but unfortunately his force belongs to the five scum of war, and jumping down is no different from giving away someone's head, so it is more reliable to be cowardly.
As soon as the guards landed, they immediately dispersed into seven groups, among which the two best guards in martial arts formed a group alone, and the others worked in groups of three, and each group rushed towards a fish-man.
The fish people didn't seem to expect the humans in the camp to take the initiative to rush out, and they were obviously stunned for a moment, and they came back to their senses when they were close to the guards, and they screamed and launched a counterattack.
Pan Xiaogu's personal guards are mainly composed of the first group of warriors and swordsmen, and half of the twenty people are from these two professions, because the warriors and swordsmen have the most average ability and the strongest ability to fight independently, and the other ten people are composed of six guards and four armorers and ten heavy armor professions.
The only team of two was a soldier and a guard, and they found the fish-man who had been the most seriously injured before.
Not only was the fish-man blinded in one eye, but it also had a pickaxe on its back, which affected its mobility, and the movement of its right forelimb was not as flexible as that of other fish-men.
The two staggered back and forth to approach the fishman, the cavalry irise-shaped shield held by the guard was in front, and the armor soldier held a two-meter spear and followed behind in three steps. The two of them did not line up in a straight line, but staggered, the fish-man's right eye was shot blind, the guard approached from the direction of the fish-man's left eye near the middle lane, and the cover armor broke through from the direction of the fish-man's blind right eye.
The one-eyed fishman was indeed attracted to the guard, and when the guard entered his attack range, he immediately waved his left arm without hesitation, trying to grab the target with his sharp claws. The claws of the fish-man are very similar to those of humans, but they only have four fingers, and there are membrane-filled fins between the fingers, and the four fingers on the claws are thick and powerful, and the alienated nails at the tips are two or three inches long, which is very sharp.
In front of these sharp claws, the earthen wall was like a fluffy cake, and the fish-man had only dug for a short time before digging seven holes nearly half a foot deep in the earthen wall, and if left alone, it would only take about half an hour to dig through the earthen wall.
The fish-man not only has sharp claws, but also has great strength, the guard blessed the shield in his hand with his battle spirit at the moment when the fish-man attacked, although he successfully blocked the claws, but he was hit by the fish-man's strength and took two steps back, almost sitting on the ground.
The fishman moved quickly, and when he noticed that his opponent was repulsed, he immediately wanted to step forward and continue the attack, but he didn't notice the armorer who launched the attack from the blind spot of vision.
Among all the inheritors, if you want to talk about attack power, it should be the first armor, and this profession can use the battle mangs with enhanced power as soon as you get started, and even ordinary palace guard-level masters dare not fight with it.
"Kill!"
The armor launched an attack from the blind spot of the fishman's right side of the vision, just a very ordinary stab, and when the tip of the spear was still half a foot away from the fishman's body, a battle burst suddenly erupted, piercing through the fishman's predicted ribs, piercing the scales' defenses, and opening a hole the size of a copper coin in the fishman's body.
However, there was no joy on the face of the armorer, but he quickly retreated with a solemn face
"Be careful, the fish-men can neutralize the power of the war."
The armor soldier loudly reminded his companions that his blow just now did not achieve the expected effect, and the battle light was sharply consumed after stabbing the fishman, and the depth did not meet his expectations.
However, this blow is still a heavy blow to the one-eyed fish-man.
The fish-man turned sharply after being injured, and swept in the direction of the attack with his claws, but because the armor retreated quickly, it didn't catch anything, but because of the excessive force, its body staggered a little, and its body also turned to the side, and it barely managed to stabilize its body with its left arm on the ground.
Seeing this, the guard, who had adjusted his balance, immediately rushed forward and directly slammed the joint on the left arm of the fishman with his shield on the ground.
This time, the battle mangs went directly down the broken part of the scales on the fish-man's back and pierced into its lower back!
The one-eyed fishman could no longer bear such an injury, and he howled miserably and fell to the ground!
