Chapter 81: Thunderbolt
(Thanks to Dameng, Chubby, Hammer S, and Vicissitudes)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Looks like I don't need you." Morton pointed at the beacon with his horsewhip, "The Moxi people paid the price, but they won." ā
Behind Morton, headed by Qu Tu, lined up, a total of three columns of Hun knights. There were not many of them, less than fifty horsemen, but they wore leather armor, swords and shields, and bows and arrows. Some of the horses also had secondary weapons such as shackles, axes, and short spears hanging from the back.
This is Morton's personal guard, the elite of the Khan Ministry. If Sharuru is defeated, Qutu will lead this elite cavalry to the top. Anyway, anyone can see that the Beacon Guardian is at the end of the crossbow, and the glory of defeating the strong enemy must belong to the Khan, and belong to his Morton's personal guards.
When Morton said this, his tone was gloomy, after all, it was not his personal guards who captured Fengsui. If he hadn't listened to the wizard's prophecy, he should have let Qu Tu lead the guard.
Qu Tu stepped forward, looked at Guduhou's face, and said carefully: "Most of the Mo Xi people are still crowded under the beacon, and Shalulu has not been able to kill people yet, so it is better to let me ......."
"Forget it." Morton shook his fingers, "If you catch the nephew of the son of heaven of the Han family, take it to Zhizhi City, and give it to Da Danyu, you will be rewarded." This little benefit in front of me will be left to Mo Xiren. ā
Qu Tu responded, looked up casually, and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Then, isn't that Sharuru......"
Morton's heart jumped, and when he looked up, he saw that above the beacon battlement, Sharuru was holding something in his arms, facing them sideways. Then, in full view of everyone, he made a gesture that shocked everyone's jaws - he hugged the object in his arms tightly, like holding his favorite concubine. Then, the body is tilted and unbalanced, like a truncated log, planted straight down from a three-zhang high beacon!
Under the beacon wall, there was a crowd of people, crowded with Huns waiting to climb. All looked up like a goose, confused by Sharuru's actions. When Sharuru descended from the sky, the Huns gathered like a bee, countless pairs of arms stretched out, and some even used their chests and backs to pick them up.
At the same time, Zhang Fangzheng and Lin Tianci on the beacon supported each other, hoarsely calling for their subordinates, and retreating from the enemy platform with all their strength.
"What ......are you doing with Sharuru, bastard," Morton looked at it inexplicably, and the signs of the crack in the cow bone flashed in his mind.
Rumble!
The sudden loud noise, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the fire flashed, the smoke rose to the sky, the sand and dust flew down, the mud and rocks fell, the turf shook with the terrified cries mixed with the neighing of cows, horses, alpacas, and sheep.
As soon as the thunderbolt sounded, Morton was overturned and fell to the ground by the war horse under his crotch. Sprained his arm. The elite cavalry behind him was also in disarray, gritting their teeth and competing with his close companion war horse. Many people were caught off guard and were trampled by hooves before they could get up......
"This ...... This is ......" Morton lay on the ground in despair, his mind in confusion, staring blankly ahead.
Through the dust and fog, you can see that there is a large gap in the western section of the battlement wall of the beacon, which can easily climb over the wall and completely lose its defensive performance. At this time, if the Huns attacked, they could easily capture Fengsui.
In front of the collapsing battlements, there were no less than thirty or forty Huns, but they did not swarm in, but scattered and ran wildly.
The ghost cried wolf, rolled and crawled, hugged the head of the rat, and failed...... This is the current situation of the Huns, who were still murderous at the last moment.
Qutu was very good at riding, and when the explosion occurred, his war horse also jumped and jumped, and it took a lot of effort to subdue. After that, he hurriedly dismounted and supported Guduhou, looking at the tragic situation in front of him, his eyes straightened: "Didn't Sharuru say that this thunder and fire can't hurt people?" ā
"Hehehehe." Morton struggled to hold up, gritting his teeth, "Can't hurt anyone?" I'm afraid the tongue of the person who said this will blow up. ā
Qu Tu looked at the collapsed battlement wall and swallowed hard: "Guduhou, we, do we still want to attack?" ā
This is indeed a great opportunity, and it only takes a team of cavalry to drive straight into the field and capture it with your hands. The question is...... The terrifying super thunder fire just now, do you still have it in the other party's hand?
From a distance, the huge "V" shaped gap looks like a demon's open mouth. The slope formed by the poured sand and gravel is like a tongue sticking out, and the jagged stubble around it is like a staggered fang......
"Assemble the army first, and then see." Morton looked at the Mo Xi people and the Bu Gusu people who fled in front of him, and then looked at the people of the Han Khan who were like earth behind him and had no intention of fighting, and he could only say this.
So far, it has been four full days of fierce fighting. Bu Gusu and Sharulu were two households, and they entered the beacon twice, but the result was that the living people went in and the corpses came out. If you kill yourself next time, will it ...... Thinking of this, this fierce and violent Bone Marquis crisscrossing the North Bamboo Khan Mountain felt a thrill in his heart for no reason.
Compared with the Huns, Zhang Fang's side was already mentally prepared. Rao was like this, when the violent explosion sounded, except for Zhang Fang, who leaned against the wall with his sword and barely stood firmly, everyone was shaken down, and his ears were deaf for more than ten breaths.
As soon as the explosion stopped, the surroundings were still full of dust and fog, Zhang Fang took out soft cloth earplugs, opened his mouth and shouted: "There are no people, registration number!" ā
Lin ...... Ahem, Lin Tianci is here. ā
"The sixth day of the first month is in ...... Ahh ā
Han Jun ...... Han Chong...... Ok......"
"Zongba...... Not dead. ā
"Alimu is alive."
"Where's Qu Liang?"
"The sixth uncle is still angry, but he can't speak." It was Qingyan who responded.
As for Li Ren and Lu Nu, they are the farthest away from the explosion site, and the others are fine, so they are naturally fine.
The voices of each response were weak, and the scene was filled with the wails of the Huns who had been wounded or crushed under the earth and rocks, and even the ears could not hear clearly.
"It's too noisy, who has the strength to make these people quiet."
This numbling words come from Zhang Fang. Not because Shura possessed him, but because he had to.
"Ahem, IāI'll do it."
Seeing the person who spoke, everyone, including Zhang Fang, was stunned. It was actually Alimu, who was willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head for fear of the Huns' retaliation the day before yesterday!
Alimu carried a scimitar, limped out, and smiled bitterly: "It's all up to this, if the Huns kill in, no one will let go...... I know why you're doing this. ā
The sun shines through the dust and mist, faintly shining on the figure holding the knife, and every time the knife pokes down, the abruptly stopped the miserable scream, which made the hearts of the Huns outside Li Xu numb. In the past, if anyone dared to slaughter their relatives and brothers in front of them, the Huns would have turned into vicious wolves and pounced. But this time, no one dared to move.
It's just because the opponent sent a deep contempt to them in such a fierce way: You just have to come, Lao Tzu doesn't kill or bury it!
Morton's eyes narrowed into thin lines, pins flickered, and the horsewhip in his hand was clenched. Several times he wanted to jump out of his teeth to kill the order, but looking at the people cowering behind him, he couldn't; Seeing the bloody corpse under the beacon, he didn't dare.
"Wrap, wrap, he, they! Let them starve to death! Die of thirst! Morton uttered the sentence word by word, almost grinding his teeth.
As soon as the words fell, a ride in the distance was like the wind, galloping from the west: "Guduhou, no, it's not good......"
Before he could hear anything bad, Morton's heart sank, and a strong sense of foreboding came over him......
"The Huns fled! The Huns fled! When Alimu raised his sword for the seventh time, he was pleasantly surprised to see that the Huns on the opposite side were like frightened elk herds on the steppe, running in all directions, not even having time to pack up the felt tent cart, and even abandoning the cattle, sheep, horses, and llamas that regarded them as their lives.
"Hahahaha! The Huns fled! Alimu couldn't stop laughing wildly.
Seeing this scene, all the survivors in the beacon collapsed like hollowed out sacks. It doesn't matter why the Huns fled, what matters is that they survived.
"Look...... Look over there! The sixth junior high with the best eyes suddenly jumped up like a chicken blood, pointed to the west and screamed.
In the distance, there were large clouds of smoke and dust, and there were many shadows of horses, and the most striking thing was the looming flags of various colors.
"That's the banner of the Han Army! It's the Han army that crosses the river wall! ā
Reinforcements! Reinforcements from the Great Han!
Zhang Fang looked up to the sky and let out a fishy and salty breath. His long eyelashes were coagulated with dark red blood clots, so much so that the sky turned blood-colored as far as the eye could see. Then, the sky spun and twisted, forming an eerie blood-colored vortex. Everything is spinning, everything is turned upside down, everything is moving away from ......
