Chapter 53: Encroachment
Qu Zhiqing was very close to the door, and he arrived at the door in three or two steps, but when he saw the scene outside the door, he suddenly stopped his body, and his heartbeat intensified. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the door, there were people standing in the dark, and the laborers with all kinds of farm tools in their hands were staring at him with glowing eyes.
Qu Zhiqing trembled, clenching the scimitar in his hand, the snowy scimitar, reflecting the slightest dazzling brilliance. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, his heart was hot, and he took a big stride, raised his scimitar, and rushed into the crowd shouting.
Looking at the oncoming Assyrian generals, a roar suddenly sounded in the crowd opposite:
Kill him!
The civilians turned their hearts sideways, and suddenly waved the farm tools in their hands, and the hoes, knives, sticks, and rakes all went down to Qu Zhiqing's head, they didn't know martial arts, but more than a dozen people did it together, and the momentum was amazing. At the same time, a few subtle chord tremors sounded, mixed with the angry shouts of the crowd, faintly audible.
Qu Zhiqing's scimitar was lifted, and the sound of clanging and clicking kept sounding, and the tools in the hands of the laborers were constantly cut off, and they fell in all directions. Seeing this, he was overjoyed, rushed out of the gate, and was about to pounce on the left side to break through, but suddenly felt a pain in his ribs and thighs, his body was crooked, and he almost fell, and then a dozen hoes attacked him......
Qu Zhiqing turned into a puddle of mud, and the Assyrian soldiers in the camp were equally miserable, they were already wounded one by one after being "bombarded" by thousands of lumps of dirt, and then thousands of civilians, led by the dozen or so "Assyrian soldiers", took all kinds of farm tools, and slammed them with grinning teeth, like a monstrous wave slapping on them.
The battle was extremely brief, and none of the 800 soldiers survived.
Although they didn't eat much for dinner, the laborers vomited wildly, and even the veterans had pantothenic acid in their stomachs and closed their eyes when they looked at the filth all over the field.
"See? They are human beings too, and they must die if they are hit twice! Jiang Du pointed to the corpses on the ground, and said to these sweaty, frightened and excited civilians:
"Everyone performed well just now, and they will play like this in the future, five to one, ten to one, have you remembered everything?"
"Remember!" The civilians roared in unison, their faces were pale at this time, but their spirits were extremely excited, and they had just rushed down to kill them, and they had killed and wounded three or four hundred people, but those menacing Assyrian soldiers, in the blink of an eye, died under their hoes, which was simply unimaginable in ordinary times.
"In this way, I might really be able to create a miracle on the North Shore!" Many civilians thought so in their hearts.
"Put on your Assyrian gear and rest for the next round of battle." Jiang Du said calmly to everyone.
"What! Wait a minute, you're going to fight? The civilians who were about to pick up their clothes looked stunned.
Civilian A: "What do you know? Hurry up! Our general (Jiang Dud) has a big heart? ”
Civilian B: "What do you mean?" ”
Civilian A: "I guess the general is trying to lure the Assyrians over and eat them in waves!" ”
Civilian B: "Eat in waves?" ”
Civilian A (silenced for a few seconds): "Have you ever raised silkworms?" ”
Civilian B: "I've raised it, what's wrong!" ”
Civilian A: "You see, we are weak now, like a young silkworm, and the Assyrians on the north shore are like a large mulberry leaf, if we want to eat it all, we have to take our time one by one, now you understand?" ”
Civilian B: "Got it, we're a group of young silkworms!" ”
Civilian A (silent for dozens of seconds): "Don't say it, their clothes are sturdy, hey, I'll keep one of the bracers!" ”
Civilian B: ......
Just after Qu Zhiqing left the camp, 20 veterans with two brigades of civilian soldiers also captured the barracks guarded by only 200 soldiers, but before they could catch their breath, a group of Assyrian soldiers took advantage of the darkness and rushed forward with their knives.
Some civilian soldiers were not mentally prepared and turned around and ran when they saw the fierce attack of the other side.
"I'm afraid of a bird, there are only a few hundred of them, and they all rushed up with Lao Tzu to slaughter them!" Several veterans shouted loudly, raised their swords and shields, and greeted them.
"That's right! Afraid of his birds, shoot them! With the veterans in the lead, the civilians were emboldened, and rushed forward with their rakes and hoes, and fought with the Assyrian soldiers.
In this way, the enemy arrived in waves, and then in waves they were eaten, and the battle continued until dawn......
The barracks, hard labor camps, and surrounding areas of Farm 17 were littered with corpses, mostly Assyrian soldiers, but also many civilians from the Northern Flames. During the cleaning of the battlefield, as many as 2,500 Assyrian corpses were found, while more than 2,000 civilian corpses were found. The rest of the people were so tired that their limbs were sore, their eyes were full of stars, they fought all night hungry, their spirits were highly tense and excited, and once they relaxed, the whole person seemed to collapse.
Jiang Du had already ordered people to make fire and rice in the hard labor camp and military camp, hot porridge and coarse flour cakes, salted fish and pickles, and several large pots of fragrant broth, so that the civilians who had not known the taste of meat for a long time were so hungry that their appetite was so hungry that their saliva flowed, they couldn't wait to bring a soup bowl, filled with a bowl full of hot soup with oily minced meat, Meimei took a sip, and then smacked her lips, revealing an intoxicated expression.
"That's what it tastes like to be alive!" Many people have some emotion in their hearts.
The civilians who were shouting to leave before were not treated so well, at least there was no hot soup to drink, they looked at the civilians who were covered in blood on the opposite side, but with a proud face, and they were eating cakes and drinking soup, and then looked at a few dry pieces of bread in their hands, all showing complicated expressions.
Taking advantage of the rest time after dinner, Jiang Du gathered 2,000 civilian soldiers armed with bows and crossbows, and asked the crossbowmen of Beiyan to concentrate on teaching the correct use of bows and crossbows, as well as the methods of basic formation. Although the learning effect is very poor in a short period of time, it is also necessary. After all, 2,000 bows and crossbows are the biggest killing weapons in Jiang Du's hands now, and if they are used intensively in regular combat, the lethality is extremely amazing.
At the same time, the other civilians followed Jiang Du to several other farms.
The harvest of the overnight battle was far more than that, taking advantage of the opportunity of sending reinforcements from nearby farms, Jiang Du and they had successfully taken 4 farms from 19 to 22 and rescued more than 80,000 Beiyan civilians. When many civilians were rescued, it was not clear what had happened, and it was only when they heard that the Beiyan soldiers had captured five farms that they burst into cheers.
When they arrived, the civilians had already eaten breakfast. Listening to a few veterans who stayed behind, the soldiers who came to rescue them in the early morning were all hard laborers on the No. 17 farm, and they were also very surprised in their hearts, but they didn't expect that a group of hard laborers could also have such combat effectiveness, so they were all gearing up at this time, planning to join the next battle, but Jiang Du had to say a little less.
Jiang Du learned from these civilians that the granary was on Farm No. 75, which was five miles away, but there were many soldiers stationed there. (To be continued.) )
