Chapter 43: A Narrow Encounter
The archers were holding their bows and arrows again, preparing to shoot the second round of arrows, and the young people in the team of salt poles were finally a little unbearable, and they were all panicked and wanted to disperse, that is, when they were training on weekdays, Li Meng and several other leaders still remembered the beating of the bamboo whip, everyone was hesitating, and some of the people who were not determined were already running outside in small steps.
As long as this second round of arrows is fired, their side will collapse, and those salters who pick up cheap salt will rush back, I am afraid that this situation will not be able to be cleaned up.
Li Meng looked at the opponent's bow and arrow, and was also a little afraid, this was the first time he faced a long-range weapon in this era, and with the screams of the young people around him, the fear was gradually strengthening.
"I can't die here, I can't go back to the guard house and live that closed and poor life again......"
Li Meng roared wildly, holding a spear in his hand and rushed towards the archers, and there were also people in the team who yelled and rushed towards the archers.
The three archers on the opposite side, Li Meng calculated, now two people rushed over, and the third person was still in trouble, at this time, he heard a loud roar from the third person and rushed out after him. Li Meng didn't stop, but he knew that the second person was Zhao Neng, who was the third person?
The three Yanding with bows and arrows were proud, and they could also see that as long as they shot the second round of arrows, the other party would collapse, and the bows and arrows they bought at a great cost were really useful.
What I didn't expect was that there were three people on the other side who actually rushed over with spears, less than forty paces away, and they could quickly rush through, drawing a bow and shooting arrows is a skill that needs to be practiced for many years.
The arrow didn't hit the bowstring for a long time, but before Li Meng and the others rushed over, they still shot out, but in such a nervous state, don't mention any accuracy and strength.
The arrows flying above Li Meng's head had no effect on him at all, and his footsteps were even faster, and he saw that Yan Ding, who was holding a bow and arrow in front, was about to shoot a third arrow, and when he aimed, he suddenly threw away the bow and arrow, turned around and ran, and it was already too late to run at this time, and he was caught up by Li Meng behind him, and a shot stabbed into the back.
The other two archers ended up in the same way as their companions, and they were also caught up and stabbed in the heart......
The salters who were just about to turn back suddenly stopped, Li Meng drew his spear, kept walking, and shouted:
"What are you doing in a daze, you are all rushing with me!"
The young people behind him who were still panicked were brought back to their senses by Li Meng's sound as if they were roaring, and they each rushed forward with spears.
The returning Yan Ding was still hesitating whether to flee or fight, Li Meng had already rushed to him, so he had to raise the big knife in his hand to meet him, but the knife was not raised, Li Meng shook his arms, and the spear pierced straight into his throat. With a press of his arm, this person was picked up by Li Meng and thrown out again.
The splattered blood spilled a line of blood in mid-air, and the salt poles behind him were already roaring and rushing up, and the salt rods completely collapsed, leaving the weapons in their hands and running in all directions.
Li Meng ran forward a few steps, and poked over one more, and the salt poles behind him passed one after another, chasing and killing the salt Ding with the weapons in their hands, and it was easiest to chase and kill the fleeing enemy, and death in battle often happened in this process, and these young people who were scared enough just now had their courage at this time, because what they wanted to do was very simple, just stab the spear behind them.
Li Meng put the spear in his hand on the ground, bent down and gasped for breath, although he didn't do much just now, but the thrill of the situation was indeed very tense, at this time, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, his heart relaxed, and he felt that his whole body was sore.
It was a fairly sure battle, but I didn't expect it to be like this, and the bow and arrow were so vulnerable, not to mention the bow and arrow, the fire gun and artillery have begun to equip the troops on a large scale and apply, if you encounter these long-range weapons, wouldn't it be a crush.
There were two people who stopped in place and gasped for breath, Li Meng turned his head to look, Zhao Neng's appearance was even more embarrassed, drenched in cold sweat, seeing Li Meng's eyes, he couldn't help but complain and said:
"Watching the man's bow and arrows come at me, I felt like I was frozen, but fortunately, the turtle grandson didn't shoot accurately."
The other person directly threw the spear in his hand aside, went over to pick up the three bows and arrows, and saw this person Li Meng smiled, it was the young and vigorous Ma Gang, Li Meng straightened up and walked to Zhao Neng, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, pointed at Ma Gang and smiled:
"Lao Zhao, the key is either an old brother like you, or you have to be a soldier like this."
Zhao Neng wiped his sweat, looked at the young people who were still chasing and killing in front of him, and scolded hatefully:
"I practice like a good person on weekdays, but when I encounter this scene, I'm stupid, a bunch of useless things."
"No wonder they, look at the two of us are also scared like this."
Li Meng returned with a smile, stepped forward to give that Ma Gang a kick in his ass, and scolded with an angry smile:
"What are you still checking over there, you are the one who wants to be the deputy captain, show your appearance!"
Ma Gang jumped away with an "ouch", he was not stage frightened, and asked in a daze:
"What vice-captain, what!? Brother Li! You say I'm the vice-captain. ”
The leaders of Li Meng's salt transportation team and salt boiling team are all captains and deputy captains, and they were originally going to be called companies and platoons, but it is estimated that others can't understand them, so they simply use the establishment of the escort company to arrange, and now the captain is Li Meng, and the deputy captains are Zhao Neng, Wang Hai, Chen Liuzi, and the people in the guard are all red-eyed.
Ma Gang had an incredible expression there, and the bow and arrow in his hand fell to the ground, so he knew that he was smirking, and Li Meng didn't care about him, this kid looked stunned, he didn't know how thick the sky was, but he dared to rush out with a guy at this moment of life and death, this is good.
I was about to speak, but I heard Zhao Neng next to him crying out for pain there, and hurriedly took a look, but found that Zhao Neng's left arm was even cut open and bleeding, Zhao Neng dragged a piece of cloth there and prepared to tie it, and when he saw Li Meng, he said with a wry smile:
"I was scraped by the archery of the first few grandsons just now, and I felt pain at this time."
It is indeed fortunate that at such a close distance, seeing a few people rushing over with spears viciously, Yan Ding, who has no training, is panicked, and the archery is powerless to deviate, if he calms down a little, it will not be the current situation.
Li Meng shouted to the front:
"Don't chase it, retreat and line up."
