Chapter 22: The Absurd Drama
"Dada, Dada......"
The crossbow machine rang out continuously, and the arrows rained down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Four teams of crossbowmen fired in a loop, forming a dense web of metal death in front of the formation, and rows of thieves wailed and fell.
A new day begins, and the scene is almost the day before.
Thinking that the thief army would adopt new tactics after suffering a big loss, Wang Shen also thought about how to deal with it if the enemy changed his thinking.
In fact, he also simulated in his mind what kind of tactics he would adopt to take the plain town treasury if he was the commander of the thief army.
The results of the simulation are very unoptimistic, although the defenders' divine arm bows have a long range and can wear heavy armor, but after all, the number is limited, and it is not impossible to defend. For example, you can make a row of carts with sacks filled with dirt on top of the pile, and line them up in a horizontal line. The other soldiers bowed and followed the car, slowly advancing, as if they were the infantry and Tan coordination in the hot weapon warfare of later generations.
As long as the cart advanced to a distance of twenty paces from the crossbow array, the infantry behind rushed up with a shout, and the two hundred crossbowmen could be eaten in an instant by relying on the tactics of crowds.
In addition to the use of vehicle formations, there is also the big killer of tunnel excavation. Anyway, the thief army has a hoe in his hand, and he only needs to dig a longitudinal trench on the ground and extend it forward little by little, and the Song army can only stare dryly.
Thinking of these two points, Wang Shen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
To his great relief, the thieves didn't seem to have either of these intentions at all. Still the same as yesterday, after the mage cast the spell, all the attacking soldiers took a sip of talisman water, shouted "invulnerable" and rushed in with rudimentary weapons, and then became a live target for crossbowmen.
The difference is that today the enemy's offensive is not very strong, and morale is low. As soon as the group of centaurs entered the range of the Divine Arm Bow, and after being shot down in a large area, they roared and retreated in a hurry.
"Invulnerability" means shouting that the spiritual atomic bomb cannot resist the truth within its range after all. The Song army's strong crossbow was really sharp, and the pain and threat of death after being shot in the body were real.
Because there was no effective counterattack force, Wang Shen could only watch the enemy retreat, and after rectifying for a long time, he burned incense and prayed, and called the Dharma to make a comeback.
And so on again and again, and never get tired of it.
At the end of the day, the thieves threw another 200 corpses in front of the battle, which was much smaller than yesterday's casualties.
After two days of fierce fighting, except for two soldiers who fainted due to heat stroke, there were still no casualties, and their morale was extremely high.
Speaking of the weather, but it is also strange, drought for most of the year, seeing the dark clouds overhead to make up, but it has been cloudy for two days, but not a drop of rain has fallen, and it is very stuffy.
Everyone was sweating profusely and drinking water incessantly. An Niang and the old and weak people kept sending out the freshly boiled tea.
As soon as I ate tea, the sweat came out more, and some soldiers couldn't stand it, so they simply took off all the armor on their bodies and put it aside. This thing is covered in the body, and people can't stand it. At the beginning, Lu Yuhou also ordered them to wear armor. But after thinking about it, if it goes on like this, without waiting for the enemy to come in, everyone will have to be ruined first, so they have to let it go, and the thief army can't beat it anyway.
So, soon, everyone stripped naked, leaving only a butt curtain in front and back. The wind blows, it is spectacular and magnificent, and the male hormones are overwhelming.
Repelled another enemy attack, still as easy as before, Gu Lie suddenly annoyed, and cursed loudly at the enemy formation: "Straight lady thief, the battle is not fought like this, if you want to fight a good fight, it is a bit of a discipline to do it, what about the art of war, what about the art of war?" β
In such a rush, as soon as it was hit, it was scattered, and it was purely child's play. What kind of pleasure can you have when you win against such an enemy?
Moreover, being surrounded by people like this, I really can't stand it mentally.
After scolding, Gu Lie finally couldn't help it, suddenly rushed out of the formation, stood in the open space between the two armies, and shouted with all his strength: "Listen to the general of the unified army opposite, I don't care if you are Li Yu or who, when will it be a head to fight like this?" A certain Huaixi Army's baggage battalion is the head of Gu Lie, there is a kind of out, you and I do it one-on-one! β
"This Gu Lie?" Wang Shen couldn't help but shake his head.
The other soldiers applauded in unison: "Gu Dutou, what a good man!" β
shouted a few times, except for the thief army on the opposite side at the beginning, which was in a commotion for a moment, Gu Lie shouted dryly, and no one spoke, and was about to turn around and come back angrily.
Suddenly, a slender figure rushed out, stood beside him, and shouted: "What you haven't planted, you are embarrassed to lead the troops, touch your bottom, do you still bring a handle?" β
"Ah, Ying Xiang." An Niang, who was delivering water to Wang Shen, was shocked and shouted: "Ying Xiang, Ying Xiang, come back quickly!" β
That's right, it was Yue Yun who rushed out. This kid has only been able to act since he took Wang Shen's medicine for a day, and he can follow his sister to help the soldiers.
Listening to his shouting, his voice was already full of energy, and he should be fully recovered in just a few days of rest.
Yue Yun was also dressed like the other soldiers today, stripped naked to reveal his chest full of ribs. After roaring, he suddenly reached out and opened the butt curtain hanging in front of him, held the thing with his hand, and marked out a stream of burnt yellow liquid: "No, grandpa, grandpa has, grandpa let you see what a real man is." Little sissies, eat the little master and hang it! β
"Little brother is good." Gu Lie also followed Yue Yun's example: "The little lady opposite, eat my pee!" β
"Haha!" More than 200 crossbowmen laughed in unison, waved the divine arm bow in their hands, and shouted in unison: "My Western Army - the first in the world!" β
"No. 1 in the world!"
"No. 1 in the world!"
"Thief, drink grandpa's urine!"
More than 200 men shot hot urine out at the same time, and the strong smell of ammonia reverberated in the air.
Two hundred white ass swaggered unscrupulously in the light of the sky.
Anniang's face was flushed with shame, and she hurriedly turned around and fled back to the storeroom.
"Don't worry, Ying Xiang is fine." Wang Shen was also so laughing that he almost fell to the ground, seeing that Yue Yun's condition seemed to be good, he didn't know if he could fight. In this way, I can be regarded as a strong general.
The thieves on the opposite side were finally angered by Yue and Gu, and they rushed forward again with a roar, and the battle started again.
When Yue Yun retreated, Wang Shen grabbed him: "Ying Xiang, or you can go and get the weapons to fight with me, and I'll go to An Niang." The man's husband, Jin Ge Iron Horse, can only live up to his martial arts by making contributions. β
It's strange to say, Yue Yun didn't raise the bar with Wang Shen at this time. In response, he picked up a spear and looked ahead with blazing eyes, his eyes full of fanaticism. Who is he?
Thirty merits, dust and earth, the son of Yue Fei of eight thousand miles of clouds and moons.
Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughs and talks about the son of Yue Fei, who is thirsty for Hun blood and breaks through Helan Mountain.
Since birth, the blood of a warrior has flowed in his bones.
Lying on the wall in the warehouse for the past two days, he was already itching in his heart and couldn't bear it, so he just wanted the strength in his body to come back and carry a weapon to kill.
It's a pity that under the powerful power of the Divine Arm Bow, this battle is still a battle with zero contact and zero casualties in real distance. After being fired in a volley, the thief army dropped more than a dozen corpses and swarmed down, not giving Yue Yun a chance to play at all.
The second day's battle ended there, when it got dark and the thieves withdrew from Plains Town to recuperate.
Without cavalry, Wang Shen and others would not be able to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
The thieves are all rabble, and it is impossible to attack at night when the whole world is night blind due to malnutrition.
So, the men and horses on both sides fell to the ground and fell asleep, ready to recuperate and fight again tomorrow.
After such a fuss, the soldiers of the baggage battalion naturally despised the thief army very much, and they didn't care about the delay in the reinforcements. It doesn't matter if Li Qiong comes or not, anyway, the thieves can't do anything about us. Actually, this battle is quite interesting.
β¦β¦
This battle is not only interesting, but also ridiculous.
On the third day, just as Wang Shen was lying on the ground and falling asleep, he was woken up by a guard. The soldier had a strange look on his face: "Commander, the thieves are attacking again, you better go and take a look, it, today's situation seems to be a little wrong." β
"What's weird?" Wang Shen rubbed his eyes and rushed out of the warehouse.
I saw that overnight, the thief army on the opposite side didn't know where to get dozens of small flags and put them on wooden sticks.
The small flag has four big characters written on it, "King Kong is not bad", and I don't know what dye is used, red, red, black and black, and it is carried by a team of girls.
Looking at those girls again, except for a belly pocket, there is no other clothing on their bodies, white arms and white legs, dazzling. Their faces were also covered with white clay, and cinnabar was dotted with red dots on their foreheads and cheeks.
Because the girls are short, they each step on a stilt under their feet, and when they charge, they look like dragonflies dotting water, like soft willows in the wind.
The girl who rushed to the front had a crisp voice, kept turning her head to boost her morale, and screamed: "Senior brothers from all sides: Today, the treasury of the official army of Pingyuan Town cannot be broken, and the Holy Mother of the Golden Knife and the Old Mother of Lishan are specially invited to send out three times a day, and the great work will be completed." We will use the virgin red dragon deuce water to set up a ten-square flag array, which can kill evil demons. Kill, kill! β
"Kill, officers and soldiers, today next year will be your death!" Tens of thousands of thieves shouted at the same time, and they rushed madly.
"Whoa!" All the crossbowmen raised their bows and pointed forward.
Wang Shen asked Lu Can beside him suspiciously: "Ziyu, didn't you understand what this woman said just now?" β
"Who did you scare by the strange power?" Lu Can snorted and said, "Dao Si, just now this demon girl said that she had done the Fa and asked the heavenly gods to bless her." In addition, they used virgin menstrual blood to write the four words King Kong is not bad, and laid down this flag array. β
"Ah......" Wang Shen was dumbfounded.
The other crossbowmen also understood Lu Can's words, and they leaned back with laughter. Suddenly, there was chaos in the array.
"Da!" There was a strong wind over the heads of the people.
The girl who rushed to the front on the opposite side fell from the stilts with a thud, a feathered arrow stuck in her forehead.
I saw that Yue Yun, who was 1.80 meters tall, stood out in the crowd with a divine arm bow: "Line up, otherwise once the thieves approach, we should cry." β
"Queue, queue!"
"Readyβ"
"Shoot!"
The officers who woke up like a dream gave the order loudly.
β¦β¦
Today is an eye-opener, after the failure of the menstrual flag array, the thief army has played a new trick.
After a while, a Taoist rushed over with a full set of water and land dojo outfits, picked up a piece of yellow paper in his hand and lit it, and asked the soldiers of the baggage battalion to throw it, shouting: "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Rectification, Five Thunder ...... Five thunders, five thunders hit the top, five ...... "After eating a blow to the divine arm bow, the old Taoist priest also simply threw away the guy who ate and ran away with his life."
After resting for half an hour, a few more sturdy men killed two black dogs in front of the soldiers of the baggage battalion, and as soon as they fell on their heads, they rushed with their knives screaming, and then they were instantly killed by the arrows.
By evening, about a dozen archers came out and fired a crooked bundle of arrows. All the soldiers of the baggage battalion had iron armor and were naturally unharmed. As for the archers, they were wiped out by the crossbow like rabbits.
Yue Yun's body got better, and he actually ate two catties of soup cakes at noon, and he didn't know how his thin belly could hold so much food. Seeing the arrows shot by the enemy, the little guy saw that the arrow had a strange shape, and couldn't help but pick one up and play with it.
But when he saw that behind the arrows of those arrows was a clump of short, curved spiral-shaped hairs, and he did not know what it was, he inquired curiously.
He was greeted by the soldiers laughing loudly: "Brother Yue is expensive this year!" β
"I'm twelve, what's wrong?" Yue Yun glared at Xue Liang's eyes: "Why, look down on people." β
"No, no, you'll know when you're a year older." All the soldiers held back a wicked laugh.
Hearing the laughter here, An Niang, who was delivering dinner, exclaimed: "Ying Xiang, what are you doing, throw it away, it's dirty!" The basin in his hand fell to the ground, blushed, and fled back to the storehouse with no life.
The laughter was even louder, and Yue Yun was even more curious: "What's the matter?" β
"Haha, little brother, this is the woman's hanging hair, it is estimated that the thief used it to break the evil spirit, haha!"
Yue Yun said angrily: "What are you laughing at, only men can hang, how can women have this object...... Yes! He seemed to understand something, like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, and hurriedly threw the arrow in his hand, and cried out in grief: "Disgusting, disgusting! β
"Haha!" Fallen to the ground.
If the thief army attacks on a large scale at this time, it is estimated that the crossbow array of the baggage battalion will really be broken.
The crossbowmen spent the whole day laughing. In fact, there was no decent battle at all today, and the total number of casualties of the thief army was no more than 100 people, and more often than not, they fled after a contact.
Unable to defeat the plain town treasury, the war dragged on for three days, and the thieves didn't seem to be in a hurry. They were laid with thatch on the ground in front of the battle, some were sleeping on the grass, some were eating, drinking, and chatting. There are also people who simply set up stalls on the ground to make money, and some people are arrested for making thousands, causing people to scream again and again......
"Reality is sometimes more absurd than fiction!" Wang Shen continued to shake his head, he didn't know how many times he had repeated such an action.
Such an easy battle was a dream, and in a trance, he felt like he was in nineteenth-century Africa, and the British were using modern troops to catch Uncle Black, press him to the ground, and rub and rub and rub.
Yes, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the modern army are demon laws for the displaced people in the agricultural era.
However, a vague uneasiness arose in Wang Shen's heart.
He couldn't figure out what this uneasiness was.
