Chapter Eighty-Eight: An Arrow
"Thunder!"
The heart-rending shout made Zilong's heart tremble, and he stepped onto the city wall in three or two steps, and ran to Sun Lei and Lao Kan'er, only to see the black arrow feathers, which went straight through Sun Lei's right chest.
It turned out that Sun Lei heard Zilong's warning and hurriedly fell to the ground, who knew that Lao Kan'er didn't understand, he was in a trance, and in a hurry, he stood up again, pushed Lao Kan'er, and felt a pain in his vest.
Looking down and seeing the arrow exposed on his right chest, still dripping blood, a wry smile squeezed out of his face, and he muttered: "......"
But the next words, he could not speak, the sharp arrow pierced the lobes of his lungs, his throat churned, blood foamed in his mouth, and his strength seemed to be drained, and he could not stand steadily.
The sound of "poof" falling to the ground shocked the old Kan'er who woke up at first time, and turned his head to see Sun Lei falling to the ground, with a rain of arrows on his back, squatting up regardless of it, holding Sun Lei, who was speechless with "ho ho" in his mouth, and roared in a low voice.
This low roar seemed to be a signal to stop the rockets flying below the city.
This is beyond Wei Chigang's imagination.
On the way to Tucheng, Wei Chigang learned the news of Tucheng's gain and loss from some Rouran soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from Tucheng.
However, Wei Chigang did not order the withdrawal of the army, and went back to face the famine, and there was an opportunity to solve the famine in front of him, although this opportunity has now been largely lost.
That's right, in Wei Chigang's opinion, it's just about losing.
The 3,000 elite soldiers he led, that were the soldiers of a hundred battles, although the siege battle was not good for the cavalry, but Wei Chigang believed that only the Tucheng, which was less than 1,000 people defending, could not resist him for even three days.
This is still an inference from an overestimation of the defense of Tucheng, after all, without Lu Zhen Qihelu, with only six hundred light horsemen, he took the low city wall of Tucheng in a few days.
Without Lu Zhen begging for Helu, he is at most his average subordinate!
Moreover, according to the information that has been received for a long time, the various tribes of Tucheng do not seem to be united among themselves, and even if they form an alliance temporarily, it is impossible to recruit enough guards to resist their three thousand elite cavalry in just a few days.
So, Wei Chigang made a bold but confident decision, and hurried with all his might, and completed the original seven-day journey in only three days.
Although the people were sleepy and tired, he still smiled when Wei Chigang looked at the empty city wall with only a few torches in the dark night.
The sackcloth wrapped the horse's hooves, the iron ring plugged the horse's mouth, and the soft iron riders were silent, and slowly approached the earthen city.
According to the estimation of the horse's footsteps, when Wei Chigang expected that he would only need one charge, just enough to rush to the distance of shooting an arrow from Tucheng, Wei Chigang looked at the dark night sky.
The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, this is really true, although it may not be able to hurt many people, but at least in terms of momentum, it is necessary to give these people who dare to resist their footsteps into Tucheng a little deterrent.
However, to his surprise, when the rocket was lit, he heard the herald drum on the city wall, and it seemed that the city guards were nearby.
"Rush!"
Just one word, Rouran Iron Cavalry rushed out like an arrow, this is a round of rapid fire, three thousand fine horses, no one only has a chance of an arrow, it is too late, it is fast, and in the blink of an eye, three thousand rockets were sent into the city by the way.
Along with the rocket thrown into Tucheng, there was also a gift he gave to the Tucheng guard.
Thinking of those gifts, Wei Chigang smiled slightly, and when he heard the heart-rending roar, Wei Chigang smiled even more.
When the new army arrived under the city walls, the rain of arrows fell and they went into search of cover, and everyone moved quickly and without a trace of panic.
They were all lucky, even if they were burned by the rocket, not one of them died.
However, the soldiers on duty on the city wall were not so lucky, and the most tragic thing was that they were pierced through the heart by three or five arrows, and they died.
Of course, it also includes Sun Lei, who is not on duty.
Sun Lei's slowly dilated pupils, staring at the moon obscured by dark clouds at this time, suddenly frowned, as if he wanted to concentrate his last strength and let him finish the last sentence.
"I can't see the world of brothers, general......"
God is always cruel, and the last sentence did not let Sun Lei finish speaking, only to see that as soon as his body was loosened, his head was tilted to the side, as if he wanted to at least see the Tucheng of his brothers, so he opened his eyes angrily.
Lao Kan'er screamed sadly, stretched out his hand and trembled to make Sun Lei stunned.
Suddenly, a strong big hand grabbed his arm, Lao Kan'er raised his teary eyes, and saw Zilong shaking his head gently.
"Old Kan'er, Zilong can't let Lei Zi see the world of his brothers, but he must let him see the Tucheng that belongs to his brothers!"
Zilong's expression was painful, because a brother had not experienced a single charge, and Zilong's expression was stubborn, because he was even more determined at this time, he must defeat the Rouran enemy soldiers and show Sun Lei the brothers' Tucheng.
"Can the castle guard come out and see him?"
When Zilong heard the shouts from the city, he was about to get up, but was held down by Yang Zhong.
"Beware of sneak attacks!"
Zilong stubbornly broke Yang Zhong's big hand, Yang Zhong knew that Zilong's strange power was difficult for him to resist, so he could only watch Zilong stand up willfully.
The evening breeze blew, and the clouds in the sky changed, and only two rays of moonlight were cast on the top and bottom of the earth city.
Zilong stood upright in the wind, and Wei Chigang looked up with a smile.
"What kind of atmosphere is the hairy boy, call your family to come!"
Wei Chigang saw that Zilong was just a thin young man by the moonlight, and he was scornful in his heart, so he laughed in public, and after speaking, he turned his head and looked at the subordinates who came with him playfully.
The subordinates seemed to give Wei Chigang a lot of face, and still laughed out loud at this joke that was not funny at all.
Wei Chigang was very satisfied, and turned around and looked at Zilong playfully.
Zilong's face did not change, he stretched out a hand, Yang Zhong understood, handed over the strong crossbow he carried, Zilong drew his bow and arrows, and pulled the bow like a full moon.
Wei Chigang looked as usual, laughing, how could he stand within the city wall?
The maximum range has already been estimated, and it can stand within a step outside the shooting range.
Hearing the clanging of the bowstring, Wei Chigang only felt a sudden stinging pain in his left cheek, and a cry of pain came from behind him, and one of his subordinates had already turned over and fallen off his horse, and the arrow feathers on his chest were thrown trembling.
This blow made Wei Chigang shocked.
hurriedly turned his head, but saw Zilong throw the deformed bow and arrow onto the city wall.
At this time, Zilong confirmed in his mind that the object attribute scanning skill was activated, and he got a system prompt: Yu Chi Gang, the general of the Rouran Wei Chi Division, has a negative opinion of the host, a negative value of 55 for good and evil, and a value of 88 for force.
Seeing this value of good and evil, Zilong regretted it, just one arrow, he should take Yu Chigang's life directly, it seems that impulse is really the devil.
"This arrow, just to let you see the means of the hairy boy, as for the head of your neck, wait for my long knife!"
When Wei Chigang heard this, his heart trembled for no reason, but as a commander, how could he be cowardly before fighting, so he beat his spirit and forced his smile on his face.
"I hope you can get your wish, and I hope you can like my gift!"
After saying that, he turned around and didn't look at his subordinates lying on the ground.
Zilong wondered in his heart, gift, what gift? These rockets?
Yang Zhong stood beside Zilong, and he had already seen the danger of Zilong's arrow, and he couldn't help but be annoyed at this time.
"Why didn't you shoot him directly, it's really ......"
But seeing Zilong turn around, his eyes were full of sadness, and he muttered: "Only one arrow will kill him, it's too cheap for him, I want to take off his head to pay tribute to Lei Zi's soul!" ”
Listening to Zilong's words, Yang Zhong could feel his determination, but he couldn't help but sigh: "Be willful, alas! ”
Yes, Yang Zhong just sighed that Zilong was willful, but he also acquiesced in Zilong's choice, and he also hoped that Sun Leiquan would know that he could die blindly, and Wei Chigang's head was indeed the best sacrifice.
But is it really that simple?
Although Zilong walked down the city wall, the team leaders with more than 2,000 brothers were already ready to go, just waiting for Zilong's order, but unexpectedly, Zilong only said softly: "Go back and rest first!" ”
After receiving Zilong's order, everyone was a little confused, but the private soldiers of the various tribes in Hou Mo and Chen Yue's place seemed to have received great good news and dispersed with a bang.
Seeing that the new army was slow to move, Zilong had to call the team leaders and explain it to them more clearly.
"Wei Chi just came here to receive Tucheng, just a round of rockets, also cavalry shooting, they did not take advantage of the night to launch a siege, it should be a lack of troops, not sure, I expect that they will definitely besiege Tucheng first, when we are unbearable, impulsively, out of the city to fight, and then attack. You must carefully observe and analyze these things in the future, and do not waste manpower in vain. ”
After listening to Zilong's explanation, the team leaders suddenly realized, but Yang Zhong seemed to have the same inference, and remained silent, but Hou Mo Chen Yue admired it in his heart, and felt that it should be so.
He has suffered losses under Zilong, and these days he has been mixed with Zilong, and he has also seen Zilong's way of commanding the army, and he feels that Zilong's military talent is outstanding, so he should be able to deduce it.
However, a little boy, who was a slave before, where did he get these experiences? Is it just talent? That's also a fantasy.
Zilong saw that Hou Mo Chen Yue was still standing in the distance, and he must have heard his words, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't even notice him as an outsider.
Glancing at Yang Zhong, Yang Zhong understood, walked towards Hou Mo Chen Yue, and when he passed by Zilong's side, he heard Zilong whisper to him: "Don't hurt his life!" ”
Although he had doubts in his heart, Yang Zhong still decided to follow Zilong's wishes.
Hou Mo Chen Yue was full of emotion in his heart, and suddenly saw that Yang Zhong didn't ask the reason, he came up and grabbed him, and tied him up with three strikes and five divisions.
I don't know why, I don't struggle, I just ask sharply, "What are you doing?" ”
As he spoke, he raised his head with great effort, looked in the direction of Zilong, and found that Zilong had turned his back as if he hadn't seen it.
"Each team will leave two people on duty in the city, and the rest of the brothers will go back to continue to rest, recuperate and recuperate, and wait for the fierce battle!"
Zilong said, secretly glanced at Hou Mo Chen Yue, who was stunned by Yang Zhong, and muttered: "Brother, I have wronged you for a while!" ”
As he spoke, his eyes looked at the temporary camp of the private soldiers of the tribes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
