Chapter 363: Fighting

As soon as the wolf left, the tiger came again, and the soldiers on the top of the boulder were almost on the verge of despair and collapse. This journey lasted more than ten days, went through several battles, trekked hundreds of miles of difficult roads, and endured all the hardships. Finally arrived outside this boulder pass, but I didn't expect to be not only caught up by the pursuers, but now I have summoned thousands of Turkic wolves to ride around, and it seems that I can't escape this last moment after all.

Liu Dehai has nothing to do about such a low morale, in fact, he himself already has the heart of death. Today is already the dusk of the seventh day, and there is no shadow of reinforcements, how can they resist the attack of the Turkic cavalry with more than 200 wounded and demoralized soldiers?

The trumpets of the attack sounded, the sound of the bowstrings buzzed, and the arrows came from all directions, falling densely on the top of the rock. The sharp arrowheads of the Turks fell on the rocks and smashed out sparks, which were a strange sight to see in all directions in the dark night. The entire boulder was covered in a rain of arrows, and the ears were filled with the sound of whistling, the screeching of arrows hitting the rocks, and the muffled popping sound of flesh being shot into the flesh.

In just tea time, the top of the boulder was baptized by tens of thousands of feathered arrows, the ground was full of horizontal and vertical arrows, the corpse's bunker was densely inserted with feathered arrows, and the flying blood whirring ice ballast turned the bunker into a piece of pink snow, just like the colorful shaved ice sold on the streets of Chang'an City in summer.

Everyone shrank their heads and hid in bunkers, and no one dared to show their heads in such a feathered arrow attack. The few hiding places that were simply built were topped with snow bricks in their clothes, but under the constant attack of arrows, several of them collapsed and the walls collapsed, and the soldiers inside were all shot and killed before they could find a place to hide.

When the Turkic archers' quiver was half empty, the attack finally stopped. It suddenly became quiet, the cold wind on the snow field was whistling, the red golden wolf banner of the Turkic cavalry was hula, and there was no sound up and down the huge rock under the sunset, and the silence was terrible.

"Let's see if there are any alive mouths, if nothing else, they should all be shot to death." Gerdor's muffled voice broke the silence.

Hundreds of Turkic cavalry jumped off their horses, drew their scimitars, and slowly approached the boulder step by step. Within twenty paces, there was still no sound on the top of the rock, and the Turkic soldiers, no longer cautious, began to run towards the slope to the south of the rock, where the only access to the top of the boulder was the top.

However, just as more than 100 Turkic soldiers gathered at the foot of the slope and climbed the rocks with their hands and feet, they suddenly heard a childish cry from the boulder: "Shoot! ”

Behind the fleshy bunker covered with feathered arrows like porcupines, dozens of heads popped out, bowstrings buzzing and vibrating, and arrows descended with terrible whistlings. The strength of the shot at close range is amazing, and once the arrow is hit, the poor leather armor of the Turks has no defensive effect at all, and it is basically the fate of being pierced. In a round of arrow rain, more than 20 Turks who climbed the slope were killed by arrows in an instant, their bodies rolled down from the stone slope, and in the exclamation, the soldiers below were also knocked down.

"Shoot!" This is Liu Jun's voice giving orders, although he seems immature, but he is calm and composed, when Liu Dehai was in a mess, Liu Jun stepped forward and commanded.

Woohoo! Another group of dozens of archers in rotation got up and shot their arrows immediately after the first round, pinning the other dozen Turkic soldiers under the rocky slope to the snow. The remaining Turkic soldiers let out a shout and ran, but no more arrows were fired behind them.

Gerdo was amazed, under such a dense collection of bows and arrows, there were still living people on the top of the rock, and there was still the power to fight back, which was really incredible. What he didn't expect was that the attack of Chang Youde had reminded the people on the top of the rock that they needed to build bunkers to defend against feathered arrows, and now, these bunkers were clearly working. Although the dense rain of arrows just now took the lives of nearly eighty soldiers, and although there were only one hundred and thirty-three people left on the top of the cliff, even these more than 100 people were still enough to hold the only slope.

The setting sun shone on the boulder, stretching its long shadow across the snow strewn across the horseshoe footprints, and the whole boulder stood motionless in front of all the Turkic cavalry like a monster, occasionally dropping a frozen block of snow from the side of the rock, and the rope falling down the steep stone wall as if mocking the incompetence of the Turkic cavalry.

"General, the last general suggested that they continue to fire arrows, they have been shot a lot, and after a few more rounds, they will have no manpower, and then we can rush forward."

"Don't waste arrows." Geerdo waved his hand and said: "No matter how many feather arrows they have, since they can avoid such a dense and intense rain of arrows just now, shooting arrows again is actually of little use." I admire these people very much, they know that they are in a place of death, but they never give up, and this is what we should respect. That being the case, we should give them a dignified way to die. Order, put on the big shield, five hundred chain armor soldiers ready to climb to the top of the rock, it is almost dark, settle the battle before dark. ”

"Yes!" The adjutant general immediately gave the order, and a moment later a group of more than 100 Turkic soldiers walked out of the ranks, with no weapons in their hands, only a huge shield as tall as a person. It was a piece of equipment rarely used by the Turks, and it was only used in battles, and it was a black and dark iron shield.

More than 100 soldiers stood in two rows, two rows of iron shields, one high and one low, formed a shield wall standing on the snow, four or five hundred soldiers dressed in standard chain mail, holding Xueliang scimitars in their hands, quickly entered the protective range of the shield wall, after an order, all the soldiers began to move in unison to the south slope of the boulder.

Seeing all this, everyone on the top of the rock felt like falling into an ice cellar, and Liu Dehai poked his head out and pulled his bowstring to shoot an arrow towards the giant shield wall. With a 'dang' sound, the arrows flew in mid-air and 'clicked' and fell on the snow, without damaging the shield.

Liu Dehai scolded and bent the bow and shot again, Liu Jun grabbed him and said, "Don't bother, it's useless." ”

Liu Dehai said: "What should I do then?" They climb up with shields against arrows, how are we good? ”

Liu Jun said quietly: "There is no way, only hand-to-hand combat." Get ready, we won't be able to escape this catastrophe today, but even if I die, I'll kill a few of them, and I don't want to be a coward. ”

Liu Dehai nodded slightly and said, "Master, I didn't expect you to be so seeded, I, Liu Dehai, am ashamed." Let's kill happily today, and when we get to the spring, Liu will follow the master to be a servant of the horse. ”

Liu Jun smiled: "We are friends, how can we be servants, and at the very least, we are also a housekeeper." ”

Liu Dehai laughed, turned to the soldiers around him and said loudly: "Brothers, it seems that we are in a catastrophe today, don't be afraid, it's just a big deal." Everyone is going to die, in fact, it is a matter of closing the eyes and kicking the legs, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Everyone was silent, and everyone understood that the time of death was near, and many people's hearts were still full of unwillingness and fear.

"Most of you are from Beihai County with me Liu, when you were in Beihai County, your days were extremely boring, and when we drank and bragged, we always talked about killing enemies on the border. In the past ten days, many of us have experienced a lifetime of never wanting to experience, although most of our hundreds of brothers have died in battle, but thousands of opponents have died in our hands, and this life is worth it. At the last moment, we can't admit it, the ugly words are in the head, if anyone admits it, I don't recognize you as a brother when I go to the underworld, give me a long face, kill them and call them a crying father and mother, have you heard it clearly? ”

"Hear me clearly!" More than 100 people shouted in unison, and many people had tears in their eyes.

Liu Dehai turned to Liu Xunzhi and Qingyun'er Ziyun'er and said, "Mr. Liu, two girls, the envoy entrusted your safety to me, I failed to protect you, I hope you can forgive your sins." When they climb up, it's chaos, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect the three. You ......"

Qing Yun'er interrupted Liu Dehai's words and said: "General Liu doesn't care about us, my sisters will do their best to kill the enemy, and at the last moment, we will kill ourselves with a knife, and we will not be captured alive by the Turkic dog thieves." ”

Liu Xun also said in a deep voice: "The old man will jump off the rock and commit suicide, how can he become a prisoner." ”

Liu Dehai was speechless, what he was most worried about was that the two girls were captured and humiliated, and Liu Xunzhi was captured alive and humiliated, since everyone said so, it was nothing.

Liu Dehai's eyes turned to Liu Jun, and was about to speak, Liu Jun waved his hand and frowned: "What do you want to talk to me about?" Although I am young, do you think I am afraid of death? ”

Liu Dehai laughed and said: "If the master is a person who is afraid of death, there is no such thing as seeing death as home in this world." I just want to remind you that your white BMW is not injured at all, so should you keep it for the Turks to ride? ”

Liu Jun nodded, turned around and shouted: "Come on, bring the horses, and I will deal with them personally." ”

The white horse of the lion in the night was led to the side, Liu Jun rubbed its hair and groaned, and at this time, the shield wall protected hundreds of chain mail soldiers had arrived at the bottom of the stone slope, and several shield soldiers climbed up in a row with shields to protect the soldiers below, although they climbed like snails, but the arrows could not shoot them, and everyone had no way to take them, but could only watch them squirm up.

Soon more than 100 Turkic soldiers climbed the slope, the most recent one had climbed to the middle, Liu Jun led the BMW to the top of the slope, stabbed the long sword in his hand into the belly of the white lion in the night, and shouted: "Go." ”

The white horse rolled down the slope with a neigh, and hit the big shield with a bang, and hundreds of pounds of heavy objects fell down, how could it hold on, and it was still a slope. There was a clinking and chaotic uproar, and more than 100 shield soldiers and chain mail soldiers tumbled down, and people and horses rolled into a ball, screaming with broken tendons.

Liu Jun wiped his tears and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”
