Chapter 36: The Line Between Life and Death
Wang Xuan usually speaks slowly and logically, and his voice is not high, but this time he was really angry, and the roar echoed between everyone's eardrums, Wang Huaqiang's heart sank down with a "boom", and his mind instantly became blank.
Sure enough, Xu Zijian also heard this shout, his face changed color all of a sudden, and he shouted loudly: "There are ambush soldiers, all turn to the right, battle formation!" ”
Chen's quarry fortress troops were elite soldiers, and at this time the commander-in-chief ordered, the three teams of the Chinese army immediately turned to the right, the shield-bearers quickly built a shield wall on the right side of the team, and the spear-bearers advanced with their spears, forming the first cover behind the shield-bearers, and the archers quickly bent their bows and arrows and aimed at the grass on the right.
Xu Zijian's order was quickly transmitted to the front and rear by various drums and flags, and Chen's army suddenly turned right from the rapid march queue to the battle queue. It was past dawn, the sky was bright, and all Chen Jun's eyes saw the people in black looming in the grass thirty or forty paces.
After Wang Huaqiang's mind went blank for a moment, he finally came to his senses, he suddenly jumped out of the grass and shouted: "Bow and arrow attack, fight with them!" ”
There is a strong enemy in front, the distance is so close, it is impossible to run away, the only hope is to take advantage of his own people to face the enemy army, capture the thief and capture the king, directly kill or capture this Xu Zijian, maybe there is a glimmer of life.
Wang Huaqiang instinctively copied the two-stone bow from a guard next to him, and wound the arrow, this qiē he is already familiar with, this night, he shot for the first time to kill Liu Yitong's former army commander, and the second time he didn't shoot, otherwise Liu Yitong would have become an arrow and a dead soul, this time, will it be copied?
Wang Huaqiang knew that speed came first, the two sides were not a scuffle, and it was impossible to give himself the opportunity to aim calmly in the first two times, gritted his teeth, and pulled the string with his right hand quickly, and in his left eye, Xu Zijian's gloomy and calm face came into his eyes, unlike the last two times, Wang Huaqiang found that he was staring at himself motionless.
Wang Huaqiang panicked slightly, staring at the object he wanted to shoot like this, it was the first time in his life, in a hurry, his bowstring shook, and the wolf's tooth arrow shot, Wang Huaqiang's arrow also used all his strength, and the wound on his left arm burst open suddenly, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
But all Wang Huaqiang's attention went with this arrow, and the slightly swaying arrow, Yu Ling, who was getting smaller and smaller in the distance, rushed to Xu Zijian with Wang Huaqiang's last hope.
A smile actually appeared on Xu Zijian's face, and he quickly raised the riding shield on the saddle, blocked upward, and only heard a "snap", this long arrow, which pinned all Wang Huaqiang's hopes, shot the wooden shield impartially, but did not hurt Xu Zijian at all.
Xu Zijian looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, thieves can only hurt people with secret arrows!" Shoot them, boys! ”
As soon as Xu Zijian's shooting words were spoken, the sound of Chen Jun's feather arrows leaving the strings was endless, and by the time the words echoed in the air, the screams of the arrow-hit ones had already begun to sound.
Wang Huaqiang's subordinates also bravely jumped out of the grass and raised arrows to shoot, but after more than 100 archers fought hard last night, there were only more than 40 people left at this time, and they shot down more than 20 people with random arrows as soon as they jumped out, and the rest of the people were all aimed at Xu Zijian to shoot, but they were waved by the three-layer shield players in front of Xu Zidun, which was blocked, and none of the more than 20 arrows could get close to Xu Zijian within a foot.
Liu Yitong laughed proudly while Xu Zijian, he also recognized that these people in front of him were those black-clothed soldiers who raided him last night, and even a few faces left a deep impression on him, he gritted his teeth and roared: "It was this gang of thieves who ambushed us yesterday, everyone shot hard to avenge the brothers who died yesterday!" ”
In just a moment, the more than forty Guanzhong archers who risked their lives to jump out of the attack had all been shot into hedgehogs, staring at Chen Jun on the opposite side unwillingly, and slowly fell, while the rest of the archers had been completely suppressed by Chen Jun's bow and arrows, lying on the ground, unable to even raise their heads,
Xu Zijian's deep voice of order was clearly heard by Wang Huaqiang: "Order the front army, outflank the past from the left, order the rear army, go around to the enemy from the right, the archers are not allowed to stop, can not let the enemy raise his head or run away, the shield hand of the Chinese army is in front, the spearman follows, the knife and axe hand is behind, if the enemy has stubborn resistance, kill him!" ”
Chen Jun shouted with a rainbow of momentum: "Mighty! The third section of Chen Jun according to his words, slowly forward, Wang Huaqiang lying on the ground, listening to the arrow "whizzing" over his head, looking at the hideous-looking, murderous Chen Jun soldiers hiding behind the shield, smiling cruelly and approaching him step by step, and even the distance slowly got closer to the point that even the pockmarks on his face could be counted.
Wang Huaqiang's heart was horizontal, and he expected that the horizontal and vertical would be just a death, and when the enemy pressed up, he was afraid that it would be impossible to fight again, so he roared: "The Day of Righteous Death is today!" He jumped first, drew his saber in his arms, and rushed towards the enemy.
Wang Huaqiang didn't have time to rush out of two steps, he felt a numbness in his right leg, looked down, and saw that his right thigh was hit by an arrow, and suddenly his right leg was numb, and he was instantly weak, and he fell to the ground.
There were more than 100 people who got up and attacked with Wang Huaqiang, most of them were the crop men brought by Liu Changshan, Liu Changshan waved a long lance, and rushed down directly like a tiger descending the mountain.
Wang Huaqiang shed tears, watching him and more than 30 men behind him, more than ten steps away from the enemy's formation, were shot like arrow stacks, and their bodies were densely filled with feather arrows, and Liu Changshan still used a long lance to support the ground before he died, holding his body so as not to fall, his two eyes were like copper bells, and he couldn't close them anymore.
Chen Jun rushed out of the formation of more than a dozen big men, waved the big axe, and moved Liu Changshan's head from his neck at once, still not happy, ostentatiously kicked Liu Changxing's head around on the ground, Chen Jun burst out a thunderous laugh.
Wang Xuan climbed over with difficulty, he hugged Wang Huaqiang, and cried bitterly: "Huaqiang, it's all my fault that I hurt you and everyone!" ”
Wang Huaqiang came back to his senses and shouted: "Mai Tiecane, Mai Zhuangshi!" ”
Mai Tie Staff also crawled over, he tried to get up twice just now, but he was shot by the sharp bow and arrows and had to lie down again, he asked, "Wang Dudu, what are your orders?" ”
Wang Huaqiang closed his eyes, two lines of unwilling tears flowed, this time he couldn't even run away, and he would definitely die if he fell into the hands of the enemy, his only idea now was to keep the third brother, the only seedling of the Wang family, so that he could lead himself and his eldest brother's military exploits, in order to achieve this goal, there must be a witness to survive in this battle, although he is now eager to kill Wang Yu, but reason tells himself, only he is the most suitable witness.
Wang Huaqiang opened his eyes, blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, and he shouted at Mai Tiecane: "Before the enemy surrounds us, hurry up and take Wang Kaifu to escape, you run fast, and the enemy army can't catch up with him on your back, as long as you enter Niushou Mountain three miles to the east, you will be safe, quickly!" ”
Wang Xuan cried loudly: "Hua Qiang, how can I leave like this, I want to die, everyone will die together!" ”
Wang Hua was so angry that he mustered all his strength, kicked Wang Xuan away with his left foot, sat up with his upper body, and his face was hideous, like a ghost: "Your fucking death is useless, the third brother's military merits, military merits!" ”
Wang Xuan also reacted at once, he nodded, and finally glanced at Chen Jun, who was already less than thirty steps away from him, and began to slowly press down, and quickly crawled back, Mai Tiezhu glanced at Wang Huaqiang, sighed, saluted on the ground, and turned around and crawled back.
Wang Huaqiang lay down on his back facing the sky again, and at this moment his heart was calm, just like the feeling on the execution ground in his previous life, he saw it all open, it didn't matter, he died once, and he lived for ten years, and it was worth it to live up to this life.
A smile appeared on Wang Huaqiang's face, and he roared on the ground: "Grandpa is Wang Huaqiang, the chief general of the Sui army, and he has the courage to come up!" ”
