Chapter 282: Breaking through the Great Stone Gate
Another wave of the bandits' onslaught was beaten to pieces, and those who were lucky enough to survive dared to come forward again to die, turned around and ran up the hill. At this time, they really hated their parents for giving birth to two legs for themselves, and they all used their hands and feet at the same time, crawling back like a lost dog.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Youzhen, who was commanding behind the sixty bird-bearers, gave a loud order: "Shieldman, forward!" ”
"Hey!" The twelve shield players at the front of the queue, led by the group training Xie Yong, exhaled and raised their voices, and the two of them jointly lifted the large iron shield weighing more than 100 catties, and pressed forward like a wall with uniform steps.
These six large iron shields are also one of the special equipment created by Zhu Youzhen for the people's regiment. Originally, he wanted to make a riot shield similar to the one used by the riot police in his previous life, but in this era, there was no such material that was lightweight, strong, and transparent, so he had no choice but to use an iron shield instead.
This iron shield resembles a large tabletop, protecting the front of the Bird Gun Phalanx. Even if the bandits were able to rush through, it would be difficult to overcome this strong iron wall for a while. As for arrows and the like, they are even more impenetrable. In addition to protection, the Bird Gun can also use the shield as a support to set up the Bird Gun to aim at the enemy, which is really a double win.
Originally, under the impact of the bandits several times, they suffered heavy casualties, but they didn't even hurt a single hair of the other party, and they were already frightened; At this time, seeing that the enemy's phalanx was pressing, although the speed was not fast, it exuded an unstoppable momentum, and it was even more panicked, so he wanted to flee to the back mountain.
But the golden-eyed eagle knew that the big stone gate was the gateway of Shimen Ridge, and as soon as the portal was lost, he could only retreat to the cottage of the main peak. The main peak is just a lonely mountain, and although it is steeper, there is only a path down the mountain. If you are really blocked, you will not be able to come down the mountain if you want to go down again. After a long time, there was no need for the enemy to attack the mountain, and so many bandits were all thirsty to death.
Therefore, he stared at the blood-red eyeballs and forced the bandits not to take a step back. There were a few bandits who only cared about running for their lives, and did not listen to the orders of the golden-eyed eagle, and were immediately stabbed one by one by him and cut off their heads.
When the bandits saw that the golden-eyed eagle really slaughtered their own people, they didn't dare to run away, so they had to stop hard, but no one dared to charge down.
But they are still not on a firm foothold, and the big shield of the militia has been pressed up. The bird-bearers hiding behind the shield were non-stop, placing lead bullets in rows at a fixed rhythm.
A well-made bird gun generally has a range of seventy or eighty paces, and the farthest can even reach more than a hundred paces. Even if these bird guns of the militia were captured from bandits, lacked maintenance for a long time, and their performance deteriorated very seriously, they could still fight more than fifty steps.
And the two sides were only about twenty steps apart, which was the distance with the greatest lethality. Each row of buckshot swept by, and there were always a few bandits who were shot on the ground, and the rest dared to stand on their feet, and began to retreat up the hill again.
Seeing that the battle situation was extremely unfavorable, the golden-eyed eagle suddenly remembered: he still has a horn bow in his hand! So he immediately opened his bow like a full moon, and without needing to aim very much, he raised his hand and shot an arrow.
Since the position of the golden-eyed eagle is farther back than the bandits in front, and the terrain is higher, the shield at the front of the militia phalanx cannot block the route of the bow and arrow. With a "click", a bird-stinger standing in the fifth row, who had already finished loading ammunition and was inserting an arquebus into the chamber of the gun, was pierced through the skull by this arrow, and died a heroic death instantly!
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the group warriors were slightly stunned and the formation was slightly scattered, the golden-eyed eagle took out three sharp arrows and shot them out in a row. His nickname of "Golden-eyed Eagle" was by no means in vain, and he was like a god with archery, and the three Tuan Yong fell down screaming again.
Zhu Youzhen saw it really in the back, although his heart was like a knife, but this is the battlefield of your life and death, how can he have sad kung fu! He immediately shouted, "Bird hand, shoot a salvo in the direction of the incoming arrow!" ”
The regimental warriors saw their close comrades-in-arms fall one by one, and everyone was sad and indignant. At this time, they were ordered, regardless of the front row and the back row, raised the bird guns together, and ignited the fire rope in the direction of the golden-eyed eagle arrow. This is also one of the daily performances of the militia group, which is specially used to attack the enemy on the back.
The golden-eyed eagle shot a few regiments of Yong, and was in a moment of pride, when he suddenly saw dozens of black holes pointing at him at the same time, and dozens of sparks were rapidly climbing up the fire rope, and he was immediately frightened. He also ignored the orders given from above, and immediately retreated backwards, drilling wherever there were many people.
"Bang bang bang, bang!" The gunshots rang out like a burst of beans, forming a terrifying killing array, flying overwhelmingly towards the hiding place of the golden-eyed eagle!
And those bandits who were usually used to patting sycophants and followed the golden-eyed eagle every inch finally completed their final contribution to the lord of the village they worshipped. After a rain of bullets, more than 20 bandits fell in a pool of blood, all of them were full of flesh and blood, and they couldn't even find a relatively intact corpse!
After a while, the blood-stained golden-eyed eagle struggled to crawl out of the pile of dead people. Fortunately, with these backing substitutes, he was unharmed, but he didn't dare to die here anymore, so he had to say angrily: "Withdraw!" Get the out! ”
In fact, there is no need for him to say it, the bandits also want to hurry away. At this time, they were really scrambling to run towards the top of the big stone gate, for fear that the people in front of them would get in their way.
Some of them were particularly bad, and they deliberately kicked backwards and rolled down the bandits behind them. In order to live a little longer, I had to let my fox friends who usually eat and drink together eat and drink to eat guns and attract the attention of the enemy.
The bandits dispersed, and Zhu You saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately shouted: "Open the formation, short knife hand charge!" ”
The shield bearers in front immediately split to the left and right, and the bird-gunners also flashed out of the way, and the main infantry of the militia finally rushed up. Each of them was armed with steel knives, like tigers out of their cages, and they strode upward.
And at this time, the bandits have long lost their fighting spirit, who dares to stop and resist? Therefore, he didn't even dare to twist his head, but still stumbled upwards and ran away.
However, they are accustomed to bullying the unarmed people, and they have never had any kind of training, so when it comes to physical strength, I am afraid that they are not even comparable to ordinary farmers.
However, the militia group is trained every day, and the most basic of them is physical training. Every day before dawn, as long as the wake-up call sounds, it is a weight-bearing cross-country long-distance run that cannot be shaken, and if anyone falls behind, don't think about eating in the morning.
Therefore, these short knife hands were all brisk and flying, and in an instant they caught up with the bandits who were lagging behind. Without saying a word, they picked up their steel knives and slashed them like melons and vegetables. The narrow and steep stone gate turned into a blood-colored waterfall when it landed!
