Chapter 12: The Death of a Hero
When the girder was about to hit the top of his head, Song Qi didn't have time to think about it, like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep, he pounced, and pushed Ling's father and daughter, one in each hand, three or four steps away.
The two of them didn't know what was happening, but they saw the girder with a dazzling fire crash to the ground before their eyes, slamming down on the head of a soldier, stirring up a cloud of dust, sparks and blood. The soldier was killed by Hades before he could **, and in the blink of an eye, the corpse was scorched by the raging flames, emitting a foul smell of burning.
Father Ling's father and daughter were so smoky by the firelight that they couldn't open their eyes, and they were so burned by the heat wave that they couldn't stand, so they hurriedly took a few steps back. The remaining three soldiers were frightened by the sudden change in front of them, and they jumped up and down in a hurry, crossed several points of fire, and fled all the way to the door with a scream.
Father Ling settled down, seeing that the beam was surrounded by flames, one end smashed on the ground, and the other end was still on the pillar on the other side, the house was full of fire, and from time to time there were large pieces of burning wood tumbling down, and the situation was extremely dangerous, so he hurriedly shouted: "Rush out!" ”
Song Qi and Ling Xue rushed out of the house with a table on top of them, holding Father Ling, braving the sparks that poured down like rain, drilling through the blazing beams on the ground.
The enemy general Otoyoko and the soldiers looked at the raging fire on the roof and laughed wildly!
In the first wave of attack, they killed and wounded more than 50 soldiers, which was a small defeat. In the second wave they take fire attacks and will easily win. Let's see how long the three of them can toss!
Seeing them rushing out of the house in flames, Otoyoko was in the middle of the shot, and immediately ordered the soldiers to release their arrows. Suddenly arrows flew in the air, raining down.
Then the table came in handy, and the two tableboards were erected side by side to form two shields, and the three of them crouched behind the tables to avoid the arrows.
I saw Father Ling and Ling Xue squatting on the ground with their swords, panting, sweat falling down, their bodies covered in blood, Father Ling had five knife wounds on his body, and Ling Xue also had two or three on his body. They wanted to take this opportunity to take a good rest and recover quickly to meet the more tragic battle that followed.
The rain of arrows immediately shot the table into a hedgehog. A few arrows actually pierced the table and pierced them.
Song Qi was also hit by an arrow, but the force of this arrow decreased a lot after passing through the table, and it only made a cut in his body, and did not shoot into his body. Rao was like this, and Song Qi also felt a sharp pain. It was the first time in his life that he was wounded by an arrow.
But at this time, Song Qi didn't have time to experience the pain, he raised his repeater, looked for Yi Heng through the gap in the table, and thought: "You must shoot down Yi Heng to end today's battle" He wanted to repeat the old trick.
Due to the small visible range in the gap, the location of the general could not be found. Song Qi could only aim at the frontmost soldier in his line of sight and pull the trigger. A soldier fell in response. Song Qi pulled the trigger five times in a row, and five soldiers fell. Now the enemy was in a commotion and retreated.
Ling Xue was hit by an arrow, and she broke it with all her might. Looking back at Father Ling, he was nailed by an arrow through the table, the arrow was pierced on him, the tail of the arrow was still on the table, and his leg was shot by an arrow that crossed the table, his body could no longer move, he was extremely painful, and said sadly: "I can't do it anymore, you guys go quickly!" ”
Ling Xue saw her father's painful struggle, her heart was like a knife, tears flowed down, and she squatted on the ground and cried, "Dad, we have to go together!" Crying and crying, he picked up a bow and a few arrows from the ground, and rushed forward like mad to shoot at the enemy.
Song Qi also rushed up and shot a few in a row. Several more soldiers fell to the ground with arrows. The soldiers retreated a few steps, and E, riding on his horse, raised his sword and shouted at the retreating soldiers.
At this time, Yi Heng entered Song Qi's line of sight, and also entered the range of the repeater, he hurriedly raised the repeater and pointed at Yi Heng on horseback, aimed, pulled the trigger, and a crossbow arrow flew over like a bullet, and the whole process was completed in one go. Na Yiheng is worthy of being a general, his eyes are quick, and when he saw the crossbow arrows flying, he hurriedly hit the crossbow arrows on the ground with a sword.
It was too late, it was fast, and the second arrow arrived again, Yiheng was a general after all, and he took the horse to the side, and the person flashed to the side. The vital part was dodged, and the arrow "poofed" into his left arm. Yiheng groaned and jumped out with his horse for a few steps, and the soldiers saw that the general had retreated, and they also scrambled to retreat a dozen steps......
Song Qi also wanted to rush forward and release the arrow, but suddenly heard Daddy Ling's scream, Song Qi looked back, it turned out that the arrow on Daddy Ling's body was connected to the table at one end, and it was not easy to break, Ling Xue could only use the sword against the side of the table to cut off the arrow shaft, although he was very careful, but Rao was like this, and he had already fainted to death in pain.
"Daddy! Wake up! Ling Xue cried.
Song Qi returned to her and said hurriedly: "Xue'er, quickly carry your father on your back, and I will cover you to kill you!" ”
Ling Xue nodded, wiped away the tears on her face, carefully picked up the unconscious Father Ling from the ground, and moved out of the courtyard step by step.
To find a boat on the seashore below Mt. Longwei, you had to pass through the path ahead, and now this road and all the hills and clearings in front of it were occupied by the enemy, and even the trees were lined with soldiers with bows and arrows.
Although fifty or sixty enemy soldiers were eliminated, the enemy did not decrease, but seemed to increase. The enemy stood there with their bows drawn, ready to launch a more fierce attack. Although they did not dare to get too close to the power of the repeater, they showed no sign of retreating.
Behind him, the fire grew bigger and bigger, the smoke billowed and the fire soared into the sky. From time to time, there was the sound of peeling and peeling, and the air was filled with a burning smell. At this moment, the roof suddenly collapsed with a thud, and only some of the shelves continued to burn.
Although there are good memories of the past, they can no longer stay in the yard, because the fire has spread from the house to the yard, and the yard is too hot, and if they don't come out, they will be burned to death. They had to go to the sea, to the boat, and only when they got to the sea, to the boat, could they live.
The enemy did not attack for the time being, not because the enemy did not want to attack, but because the main general was wounded and pricked his wound in the back. It didn't take long for the bandaged Yiheng to sit back on the horse, and although he had a white cloth tied to his arm, it did not detract from his majesty in the slightest.
He inspected the battlefield and saw that there were three people on the other side, and now there were only two and a half left, and he didn't know whether the half was dead or alive. A young man with short ear-length hair with a bow and a crossbow, and a long-haired girl with a sword, half-carrying and half-dragging a half-dead man, moved step by step to the outside of the courtyard.
Yiheng sneered, and then ordered: "Thirty of you, go around the mountain, watch my order, and then attack!" But this time it wasn't loud, and Song Qi didn't hear it.
At this time, Father Ling woke up again, he felt that he couldn't do it fast, he endured the severe pain on his body, and begged, "You guys go quickly!" Leave me alone! ”
When Ling Xue heard this, tears fell like rain, and she cried: "Dad, I won't leave you alone!" ”
At this time, Father Ling noticed that an enemy was sneaking over, so he shouted: "Pay attention to someone on the mountain to the east!" ”
Hearing this, Song Qi turned his head to look east, and sure enough, more than a dozen soldiers were climbing the branches of trees and slipping down the mountain, quietly moving towards them. Song Qi Lingxue only paid attention to the mountains to the west, because that was the enemy's position, and they had to go down from the west to find the ship. Fortunately, Father Ling reminded him in time, otherwise, he would not have known that he would be touched and slashed by these soldiers. The sound of burning wood and the neighing of horses drowned out the footsteps of the soldiers who tried to sneak up.
Song Qi raised his repeater and aimed at the soldier who was running first, and the soldier also found that he was being targeted, and quickly stopped. The others behind also stopped. Song Qi didn't pull the trigger because he felt that the target was out of range. Those soldiers stood there, wanting to advance or retreat, Song Qi trotted forward a few steps, pulled the trigger, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew out, and the soldier in front fell in response. Seeing this, the other soldiers hurriedly retreated and retreated back to the mountain.
At this moment, the enemy general Yiheng issued another order to attack.
Suddenly, the soldiers in the western mountains rushed up, and Song Qi had to turn around and shoot to the west. However, after all, he only has one crossbow, and although he can fire ten arrows in a row, he can't stop the opponent's many people. At this time, the soldiers on the eastern hill rushed down again.
Father Ling didn't know where he got his strength, and re-entered the battle, only to see him staggering, wielding a sword with one hand, slashing wildly, and he himself was unable to parry due to his lack of physical strength, and he had already been stabbed several times, bleeding like an infusion, and he still couldn't stop fighting.
At this time, Ling Xue was besieged by several fierce soldiers, she was desperately chopping, desperately stabbing, rushing left and right, trying to get closer to her father and protect her father.
Suddenly, two soldiers, one swinging their swords and the other holding their spears, stabbed at Ling Xue's back at the same time, and Ling Xue was fighting with several other people, unaware.
Father Ling glimpsed it from afar, at this time he was concerned about Ling Xue's safety, completely disregarding his own life and death, raised his hand and threw the sword in his hand at the soldier in front of him who was holding the sword and sneaking up on Ling Xue, this flying sword was as fast as lightning, and when no one reacted, the sword was inserted into the back of the soldier's neck, and the soldier fell to the ground silently and died after being hit by the sword. Father Ling leaned over again, swooped over and grabbed the gun in the hand of the soldier holding the gun, the tip of the gun was abruptly stopped less than three inches from Ling Xue's neck.
The soldier was furious, raised his foot and kicked at Father Ling, and immediately a few soldiers came up and slashed and stabbed Father Ling's body, which could really be described as a white knife entering, a red knife coming out, and several wounds on Father Ling's body were gurgling and bleeding. He still grabbed the barrel of the gun and shouted to Ling Xue in a hoarse voice, "Xue'er, run!" Before he finished shouting, he was slashed a few times by several soldiers, shook a few times, shook a few times, and fell to the ground with a bang, without a sound, his eyes were still open in anger, and he looked at his daughter Ling Xue who was fighting hard next to him.
Ling Xue caught a glimpse of her father being cut to the ground from the gap in the crowd, her heart was like a knife, she screamed to her father "Dad", she wanted to kill her father to save her, but no matter how she killed, she couldn't break the encirclement.
And her father has long been snatched away by death, and there is no response
