Chapter 124: Xu Da
"I'm not a reader!" Wu Liangmou brandished the steel knife and protested loudly. For the first time in his life, he was not proud that he had read more than others. On the contrary, a humiliation of being discriminated against came to his heart, making his face redder than the blood on his shield.
His protest, however, was drowned out by a mournful sound of trumpets. The Mengyuan soldiers in the forecourt of the Municipal Exchange Office all fought back, followed by the heavy armored axe soldiers, and pressed up like locusts. The steel knife raised high reflected the morning sun, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.
"Archers, archers clean the roof!" Zhu Eighty-one's voice came from not far behind him, piercing through the poignant horn. Aslan led more than 90 archers in six columns and rushed up the street, shooting a row of arrows at the Yuan archers on the rooftops.
Although they came in a hurry, they shot far more neatly than the enemy. When he landed, he shot more than 20 Yuan archers from the roof of the house, and broke their tendons.
The rest of the Mengyuan archers didn't care about firing arrows at Wu Liangmou and the others, and fled to the other side of the roof one after another, looking for a suitable location to hide. Aslan immediately put the second feather arrow on the bow arm, and as he pulled, he shouted loudly, "Forty steps ahead, throw!" ”
"Whoosh!" More than ninety carved feather arrows crossed the heads of Wu Liangmou, Yi Hammer and others, and smashed into the oncoming iron-armored axe soldiers.
"Jingle bell", the feather arrow smashed on the iron armor, splashing strings of terrible sparks. The oncoming Meng Yuan axe team paused and continued to move forward. With each step, the ground shook back and forth.
"Javelin, ten steps diagonally forward, throw!" Chen De gritted his teeth and decisively issued an order. The spearmen on the flanks of the sword and shield men raised the last of their short javelins and threw them in rows towards the Meng Yuan's heavily armored auxiliaries pressed diagonally forward. Only five or six of the enemy soldiers were wounded and fell to the ground, and the others continued to press forward slowly, and they could shoot the javelins of the horses, but they couldn't help the heavy armor on the opponents' bodies, but their formation was a little messy, and their steps were no longer as neat as before.
"Sword and shield soldiers, follow me!" Without hesitation, Yi Hammer raised his knife and let out a roar. The red-scarf, saber and shield soldiers lined up in six phalanxes replied in unison: "Kill!" He strode forward against the enemy's heavy axe. In the entire team, not a single person turned back.
"Boom!" Two teams in iron armor collided head-on. The entire Han Xincheng trembled slightly. The billowing red mist splashed up from the junction of the teams, and it was impossible to distinguish which ones were from Mengyuan Heavy Armor and which ones were from Xuzhou Red Turbans. The blades and shields collided, the blades and the iron armor intersected, the roar and the grinding sound mingled, drowning out the screams of the wounded and the sorrow of the dying, causing the hearts of the listeners to twitch, two tenses, a sour and cold sensation from the lower abdomen to the middle of the legs, ready to erupt at any moment.
The centurion Yi hammered his shield against the shaft of the axe coming from the opposite side, and the blade stabbed forward like a viper along the edge of the shield. This is a trick that Ivanov taught him by hand, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly. This time, however, he only received a shrill grinding. The steel knife that was repeatedly cold-forged with a 500-pound water hammer was actually blocked by the armor leaf on the opponent's body, and no matter how hard he exerted his strength, he couldn't advance a single bit.
A stream of hot blood sprayed on his face, burning the world in front of him red. Xiao Laoer, a soldier who followed him to the left, had his head cut off by a big axe, and his right hand was still holding half of the steel knife tightly, refusing to let go until he died.
"Old Xiao!" Su Da, the head of the brand, roared and stepped forward to fill the position, smashing his shield into the face of the axeman opposite, and the steel knife slammed from the bottom up. "Boom!" His shield was flapped back with an axe from his opponent and smashed into his face, bleeding from his head. The blade in his hand also brought up a bright red lump of flesh. The heavily armored axemen on the opposite side screamed and dropped his axe, covering his crotch with both hands, and his body swayed back and forth.
"Die!" Su Da saw the opportunity, jumped up, and slashed at the junction of this person's helmet and neck guard, several inches deep. Immediately after, he himself was struck by a sharp axe that slashed diagonally, and a huge opening was made in his breastplate, and he was devastated on the spot.
"Die!" Centurion Yi Hammer threw himself into his opponent's arms in one step, pressed his shield against the man's chest, and pushed the man back again and again. The steel knife in his right hand stabbed forward like the sole of a shoe. Once, twice, three times, three times in a row were blocked by armor and had no effect. The heavily armored axemen he had held against with his shield roared back, but because the axe handle was too long, he couldn't exert his strength, and only slapped the back armor of Yi Hammer downward, and a few mouthfuls of bright red erupted from his mouth.
"Die, die, die!" Yi Hammer endured the sharp pain from behind and continued to stab with a knife. Finally, he found a touch of familiarity. The blade stabbed into the junction of the two pieces of iron armor, stabbing his opponent through the intestines.
"Thorn on top! Top up to stab! Yi Hammer pulled out his steel knife and shouted to the brothers beside him. The officers and men of the Red Turban Army who were approaching responded one after another, risking being split in half by a giant axe, and rushed into the arms of their opponents. Use your shield against your opponent's chest and look for gaps in your armor with the blade.
Some succeed, most fail. The ranks of the enemy and the enemy are so intertwined that they can no longer distinguish each other. On both sides of the sword and shield bearers and the heavy armor soldiers, there are pikemen on both sides, you have me, I have you, glued together, and no one will back down.
"Archers, archers detour to the sides, throw behind the heavily armored soldiers, and break up their ranks!!" Zhu Eighty-one raised his tin horn and anxiously issued orders. It was too chaotic, the situation on the battlefield was so chaotic that he couldn't make adjustments in time. More enemy troops poured in from another gate of Han Xincheng, doing everything possible to move closer to the front court of the Municipal Exchange Office.
"Give it to me! Make room for me! Let the musketeers get on, let the musketeers get on!! Liu Ziyun, who was in charge of commanding the musketeers, was in a hurry but couldn't help, and his eyes were so anxious that his eyes were on fire.
There were his own people in front of him, left and right, and he couldn't find any targets to attack. The arquebus, on the other hand, is no better than a bow and arrow, and the trajectory is completely straight, and there is no possibility of projectile at all.
"Stupid, you won't take someone to the roof!" Xu Da, who had just rushed over, opened his throat and shouted. Immediately, he turned his head to the grenadiers and auxiliaries behind him. "Plum fish, go up the city wall with grenadiers. Grab the enemy building on the opposite side, throw grenades down the city gate, and cut off the enemy's rear road! ”
"Yes! Grenadiers come with me! Li Ziyu, who was worried that he couldn't do anything, agreed, led three complete teams of 100 people, and turned around and rushed to the horse roads on both sides of the city gate on the way to attack.
"Auxiliary team, auxiliary team, detour forward from the left and right sides, there is a courtyard wall blocking the way, directly knock it down!" Xu Da looked up and looked around, and decisively gave the second order.
"Fu San is going to clear the streets and make room for the gun trucks."
"Auxiliary four, auxiliary five, take a ladder and send the musketeers to the roof!"
"Auxiliary six, chisel down the courtyard wall of the Municipal Relocation Department for me. The rest of the team formed a team, and as soon as the courtyard wall fell, they immediately pushed the gun cart and pressed towards the gate of the city's Yi Bureau! ”
He is an unruly character, and the more critical the moment, the more he can calm down. Although the orders issued sounded disorganized, the auxiliaries under his command all found what they had to do. Take 100 people as a unit and act separately. Soon, there were two or three more roads ahead, each of which could provide support to the Red Turbans who were fighting.
Liu Ziyun took more than a dozen of the most athletic musketeers and climbed to the roof with the help of a human ladder. Ignoring the nearby and stunned defender archers, they took the arquebus off their shoulders and quickly began to reload.
According to Zhu Bayi's reminder, each buckshot was rolled together with a paper tube and four and a half coins of gunpowder, and placed in rows in a pigskin backpack. Liu Ziyunxun took out one of the paper rolls and rubbed it neatly on the aiming gap behind the barrel.
The thick paper roll was immediately cut through a two-point gap, revealing the black gunpowder inside. Liu Ziyun held his breath, tremblingly poured a little gunpowder into the medicine pot, and then poured the remaining gunpowder into the chamber of the gun according to the experience he had just explored in the past few days. Finally, the projectile is stuffed into the muzzle of the gun and pushed it inward with a throughbar.
Once, twice, the shouts of killing in front of him were endless, but he forced himself to look without distraction. It wasn't until the gunpowder in the barrel had been compacted that he exhaled the air in his lungs, then lay down on the eaves and aimed his gun at the nearest heavy axeman.
"Whoosh!" A feathered arrow flew from the other side of the ridge, and flew past the back of his neck, bringing up several broken ones. It was the remaining archers of the enemy army, who instinctively sensed the danger, although they did not know what the Red Turban soldiers on the roof were holding in their hands.
"Get out!" Liu Ziyun yelled very domineeringly in the direction where the feather arrow came from, and vigorously blew the moxa wool on the copper clip. His eyes were on the head of the heavily armored axeman twenty paces away, and he pulled the trigger fiercely.
"Whew!" The moxa velvet was pressed into the medicine pot with a copper clip, and a puff of white smoke was lit. Immediately after, the fire flashed at the muzzle of the gun, and with a "ping" sound, the target's head was shattered.
"Phew!" "Phew!" Bang! "Phew!" More than a dozen arquebuses6 continued to spray lead bullets, either hitting their targets or disappearing.
A red light appeared from the chests of the four heavily armored axemen who were fighting in Hohe, and they fell on their backs. The Red Turbans' sword and shield soldiers took the opportunity to squeeze through the gaps they had left behind, holding their shields against their opponents' chests, and the steel knives continued to search for gaps in their armor.
"Demon law! Sorcery! Several heavily armored axemen shouted, ignoring the attack on their close opponents, and their eyes swept around. The foot armor, which weighed sixty-four pounds and was difficult to pierce even with a spear, actually came out of it in a daze. And the weapons used by the enemy, they did not see it. How could they not be shocked by such a strange scene?!
The more shocking thing was still to come, and from the gate of the Municipal Exchange Bureau, two golden bronze bells suddenly poked out. The bell was quickly cocked, and it quickly adjusted its direction to aim at the reinforcements behind the heavily armored axemen.
Immediately after, there was a flash of fire at the bell, and two muffled thunders sounded between heaven and earth. Looking at what the bell pointed to again, the originally dense crowd instantly collapsed a large piece, and more than thirty corpses appeared there, bleeding like a river!
