The large silver shield was either erected or held high above the top. The statue of the Virgin carved on the shield is lifelike, revealing a deep sense of sacredness and majesty.

Nearly 10,000 arrows rose into the air, covering the sky for days, and then fell to the ground with a "hmm", hitting the big shield, making a fierce jumping bean crisp sound, "Bang Bang Bang ......"

The range of the bow is divided into effective range and maximum range. The so-called maximum range refers to the farthest distance that the bow and arrow can fly, generally 150 meters in a windless state, that is, about 150 steps. But shooting can shoot so far, and the power contained in shooting out to reach the target location is not flattering. The so-called exhaustion falls, and it is precisely because there is no elasticity that the bow will fall to the ground, and what is left when it falls to the ground is the bow and arrow body. The so-called effective range refers to the maximum penetration and lethality of the bow and arrow at a limited distance. This distance is much less than 150 steps, and at most 50 to 70 steps.

The Yellow Turban Anti-Thief is precisely the arrow thrown outside the effective range within the maximum range. The lethality was not maximized. In addition, the church guards were all wearing iron armor to protect the vital points, and the shield array was strong, so when a round of arrows rained down, the loss of the church side was very small, only three or five people died in bad luck, and more than a dozen people were slightly injured.

Through the gap between the shields, Huang Zhong glanced at the clear red line on the ranging arrow in the heavy encirclement of the anti-thieves and did not say a word. The flag officer beside him was anxious, and asked: "General, let go of the arrows!" ”

Huang Zhong looked calm, "Not busy, not busy!" ”

Seeing that the thief was getting closer and closer, the flag officer could even clearly count the number of steps the thief took from him, and he could clearly see the dust raised. 70 steps, 60 ......

As the flag officer muttered a few steps, the thief put his bow on the string of the arrow. Before he could fully draw the bowstring, the Divine Wind Battalion Commander heard Huang Zhong shout: "At this moment...... Shoot the arrows! ”

"Buzzing ......" The 1,500 archers of the kamikaze battalion released the bowstring that had been pinched for a long time at the same time, and the 1,500-meter-long arrow broke through the air at the same time, drawing a beautiful arc and smashing into the anti-thief array as if a meteor.

The Yellow Turban Thieves are not as fortunate as the Church Guards. They were poorly equipped, some of them did not even wear armor, and their shields were mainly wooden shields...... Among them, the archers were busy pulling the strings, unprepared.

"Ah......" screams came and went, and blood splattered everywhere. Some of the unlucky ones were shot into a sieve, and before they could scream, they were nailed to the ground by arrows, and they could not die again. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thieves died.

"Circumvent, circumvent!" Huang Zhong ordered in a loud voice. The kamikaze battalion was ordered to hide behind the shield soldiers, dodging the sparse arrows from the anti-thief array, and then dodged out to draw the bow and release the arrows. The rain of arrows was overwhelming, smashing into the center of the anti-thief array less than 10 steps away from the front army, setting off another bloody storm. "Ah......h

Two battles ago, a hand-to-hand fight of life and death was about to break out. Listening to the voice of "whoop", the front row of the thieves slammed into the large shield in front of the church guards with a large shield, and the spearmen in the back row frantically launched a thrust through the gap in the shield to the centaurs in the back row of the church.

The church guards rushed forward and backward to resist the anti-thief onslaught, and the axe hand waved his big knife, desperately intercepting the spear that stabbed him, and the guard spearmen took the opportunity to rush forward, and a burst of back-stabbing knocked down a group of anti-thieves. Shield blocking, knife and axe hand blocking, spear stabbing, church guards in a group of three, after nearly half a year of training, and then conquer Yanzhou, save Qingzhou, large and small dozens of battles have cultivated a wealth of experience, with a very tacit understanding. Although the number did not prevail, they had a solid upper hand in this first round of contact.

However, the war in the era of cold weapons is still a battle of human lives after all, so the number of people is still an important weight on the battle scale. After several successive charges, leaving behind dozens of corpses, the rebels finally tore a breakthrough in the front line of the Church army. The shield soldier fell to the ground with a bang, and the axe soldier fought desperately with a big axe to stop it, but he was caught off guard by the anti-thief spear through his body.

The Church Lancer Guard, who was with the axeman, looked sad and died, and he took revenge for his companion with his spear and the enemy, but before he could rejoice, he felt a chill on his shoulder, and was struck by a sudden blade on his shoulder, and blood flowed and hurt into the bone marrow. He endured the severe pain, raised his leg and kicked the anti-thief in front of him out, shouted "kill ......" and stabbed the spear into the anti-thief's chest.

Burst...... Blood splattered everywhere, both the thief and his, and out of nowhere came a scarlet spear barrel, piercing his throat with unmistakable precision. Blood, leaning along the corners of ......his mouth, seemed to say something dying, but he could not make a sound because of the rupture of his vocal cords, and the words in his chest were blocked by blood, but through his repeatedly squirming lips, it could be seen that he was calling a name, or more accurately a symbol, "Madonna...... I have God" - a symbol of faith.

Xu Shu, who was standing on a high place, had a clear insight into everything on the battlefield, his eyes were red in a hurry, and he said to Luan Yi anxiously: "Brother Yi, Mingjin!" ”

Luan Yi's face was expressionless, but his heart was dripping blood. He wanted to cry.

At present, this group of church troops is all brought out by him from Jinan, and they are all family-like existences that look down and don't look up. Their parents and wives entrusted their ** and souls to themselves in order to achieve the lie he Luan Yi had single-handedly fabricated - to go to heaven. Luan Yi suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed, feeling that he was the biggest liar in the world. He deceived everyone and the people of Jinan. Without him, the people of Jinan would live a poor but comfortable life in their hometown. And he dragged them into battle and sent them to death.

Luan Yi's heart clenched, and his eyes moistened. In order to hide his self-blame and sadness at this time, he raised his head and looked at the blue sky. Today's sky is cloudless, and the sun is shining on the earth...... Sunshine Eternal Sunshine ...... It burns itself to illuminate the earth......

Burn yourself? Burn? Eternal burning? Eternity?

Luan Yi's restless heart calmed down suddenly. Oh, yes...... But when you shine light, you always have to pay a price, don't you?

In the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation, how long has it been brilliant, scorching, and radiating? Is there 2500 years? Is there 2000? For a long time, we were bullied, occupied, and discriminated against by other peoples—the Wuhu, the Mongol, and the Manchu Qing dynasties, not to mention the year after year of border looting and the humiliation of the modern era.

How many of the two daughters of Huaxia died under the hooves of the Tartars, and how many of their children were ignited by the raging flames of war?

Massacre of the city? Slaughter the city! Slave? Slave!

Thinking of this, Luan Yi's eyebrows tightened and looked at the battlefield in front of him. That's right, in this battle at the moment, there are indeed a large number of sons and daughters who will sleep here, but they will definitely not die in vain, they will use the heat of their lives to ignite the eternal light of the Chinese nation and create unprecedented glory; They will never die in vain, he will use his persistent faith to build a wall, a wall that will not fall for thousands of years, and protect the descendants of China for thousands of generations.

I, Luan Yi, swear here that I will never let them die an ordinary death. Never......

After Xu Shu finished asking, he waited for a long time and didn't see Luan Yi respond, seeing that the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, he asked again, and said as if pleading: "Brother Yi'er, my sect leader, Mingjin!" ”

"Wait, it's not time yet!"

The army of the Church is like a tenacious whetstone, constantly sharpening the sharp knife of the anti-thief army. The flames splashed, the sword light and the shadow of the sword, and in just a stick of incense, a layer of iron filings rubbed off the long knife, which was a corpse, an empty shell of the thief's soul. But although the whetstone is sharp, it is not without loss, and the corpses of the guards in the armor of the Holy Cross insignia are everywhere, and the blood is flowing like rivers.

"Brother Yi'er, it's almost now, right?" Xu Shu almost asked on Luan Yi's face, and the generals of each battalion in the array also focused their eyes on the direction of Shuai Qi, looking forward to the planned "rout"!

"Wait!"

"Can't wait any longer!" Xu Shu pointed to the army not far away, "If you wait for a moment, many more sons will die, this is too cruel!" ”

"Wait a little longer!" Luan Yi glared at Xu Shu angrily, "Retreating now seems too fake, and it will be seen through by the thieves!" Moreover...... War is inherently cruel, a factory of death. In order for the vast majority of people not to have to die, we must make sacrifices! ”

"But ......" Xu Shu didn't refute, he knew that what Luan Yi said was right, all right. It is indeed not the time, the guards who have sacrificed are indeed not sacrificed for the rest of the guards, so that the officers and soldiers in Changshe City will not be sacrificed...... They died as they deserved.

Xu Shu looked at everything on the battlefield with a sweaty head, watching the blood and rain spread everywhere, appreciating the withered grass dyed red by blood, and tasting the taste of life and death. Finally, the two wings of the anti-thief army moved together, bypassing the front army that was in a fierce confrontation with the church army, and approached the church army.

"Missionary Command, Mingjin! The Templars charged, broken! Luan Yi raised his hammer and shouted.

"......" Xu Shu was in a relaxed mood, and a feeling of relief emerged from the bottom of his heart, and he excitedly ordered the flag officer, "Mingjin Mingjin!" ”

"Dangdang, the sound of Jin Ming is a masterpiece!" The rear of the church changed into the front team, and the middle army and the left flank slowly moved back.

The thunder drums of the right army were loud, and the infantry maneuvered in reverse to the sides, revealing a large opening. A group of brightly armored knights emerged from the formation, and it was the Templar camp led by Zhao Yun himself.

The priest shouted loudly, and all the knights roared in unison, "For the glory of the Virgin." Come on! ”

The 2,000 knights could only watch their brothers die in the battle, but they couldn't help in person, so they had already held their breath. Now, at last, it was their turn to come out, and each of them had a desire to avenge their brothers, and their fighting spirit was strong, like a tiger ready to kill, rushing out, and the rushing rebels turned on their backs, and the blood flowed like a river. In an instant, he broke into the enemy's position, then turned around, and swept through the junction of the church army and the rebel army, separating the church and the rebel soldiers and horses, thus gaining space and time for the main force of the church to retreat.
