Chapter Twenty-Three: The Attack
After hearing the words of the abstinence, everyone exclaimed in unison: "Heavy repeater!" ”
It seems that I didn't expect that the reward would be so rich this time, just a company of repeaters has already mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, not to mention three heavy repeaters.
All of you here who have been to the craftsman company have seen the appearance of a heavy repeater, and they all probably know the power of the heavy repeater, Liu Tang, Cao Zheng and others have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
I thought it would take a while for the heavy repeater to be successfully developed, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, and I was very excited, and I secretly thought to myself that I must work hard to win the first place in this competition.
Li Kui hadn't been to the craftsman for so long, of course, he wasn't very clear about the heavy repeater, but Gongsun Sheng was clear about all this, and told him in detail without waiting for Li Kui to ask.
I'm afraid that no one here will be afraid to be interested in heavy repeaters, and the weapons with super lethality can save many more lives if they are placed on the battlefield.
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, Jiese spoke: "In view of the particularity of the light cavalry company, the heavy cavalry company and the reconnaissance company, they are not included in the scope of the reward this time. ”
These three companies already have repeaters, and heavy repeaters are of little use to them even if they are coming, after all, the restrictions of the class are there.
The three company commanders nodded slightly, such a decision seemed to have been thought of, and they did not feel so surprised, nor did they feel so disappointed.
It's just that I still have some covetousness for the heavy repeater in my heart, but the three of them are rational people, so naturally they won't fight, and they understand that even if they force themselves to come, it's useless.
Heavy repeaters are the most powerful of infantry, but they are also very labor-intensive, and a ballista must be protected by three or four men.
This is also the place where the craftsmen who want to be able to continue to improve, but now the craftsmen are busy with everything, and they don't know when they will succeed.
Jiese talked about the big competition the day after tomorrow, but it was actually very simple, it was a game between several battalions, and Li Kui was especially confident.
Because there is no restriction on the generals from participating in the competition, so that he can participate in it himself, and if he can't get the first place, he will really have no face to see the people of the second battalion.
Just when everyone was still excited, someone suddenly came to report at the bottom of the mountain, and the panicked general came in, and hurriedly said: "Hey, report to the big boss, there is a group of strongmen under the mountain attacking, and Commander Hao is leading everyone to resist." ”
Today's duty at the foot of the mountain is the third battalion and the second company, Hao Siwen just became the commander of this company and encountered such a thing, and Mu Hong, just to the second company to take up his post, he encountered a strong man attack, if it was not for the reconnaissance company people to find out in time, I am afraid that the enemy has already succeeded in the sneak attack.
The people of each battalion were training at the foot of the mountain, only the generals went up the mountain for a meeting, Hao Siwen quickly gathered everyone, since the company commander was not there, then the platoon commander was in charge for the time being.
Mu Hong and Hao Siwen each led a team to guard the two gates, for fear that someone would sneak attack from the back door, so they simply had more people on their side, but looking at the number of the other party, all the cavalry, it seemed that their purpose was just to plunder and run.
It's just that they didn't expect to be discovered by the reconnaissance company, so they simply appeared, and the discovered cavalry did not mean to escape, but came to the gate of Erlong Mountain, and it seemed that a big battle could not be avoided.
Hao Siwen and Mu Hong each led two battalions of men and horses to guard the mountain gate, but whenever the cavalry on the opposite side took a step forward, they shot out a random arrow, so that they could not advance an inch.
As for the repeater in his hand, Hao Siwen felt that it was not suitable to be exposed at the moment, and perhaps it would be most appropriate to take it out when the other party charged.
Both sides were waiting for battle, and the generals on the opposite side seemed to be very patient, with a smile on the corner of their mouths all the time, and they didn't speak, just looked at Hao Siwen and the others with contempt.
Hao Siwen didn't speak, but looked at the general opposite with a hint of shame, because he knew the people opposite, they were all generals of Taiping Dao before, and they were very familiar with each other.
Facing the former colleagues, both of them were generals under Zhu Yan, but now they are hostile to each other, fate can not be said to be tricky, neither of them expected to meet again in such a way.
No one wanted to speak at the moment, and the generals on the opposite side seemed to be mocking, as if they were ashamed of Hao Siwen's behavior, and did not order his subordinates to attack for a long time, but waited quietly.
Maybe he's still waiting for Hao Siwen to suddenly change his mind, maybe he'll be able to be a colleague in the future, maybe he's confused for a while, and he can wake up after seeing himself.
It's just that after waiting for a long time, I haven't seen any movement from Hao Siwen, and my heart is gradually a little desperate, and I am also a little irritable, feeling sad for my once good friend.
Thinking that maybe he would be captured alive today, and maybe Qu Shuai would be able to spare his life, the general's mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't make a move for a long time, and he had no intention of leaving.
After waiting for a long time, he finally moved, wanting to catch Hao Siwen back with his own hands, and wanting to wake him up with actions in person, why did his good friend now become a life-and-death rival.
The speed of the cavalry was unparalleled, and the general led five or six hundred men under his command, which was one of the most elite cavalry under Zhu Yan, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and rarely lost a battle.
Now in this Erlong Mountain, he is still full of confidence in his heart, he originally wanted to sneak attack, but he didn't expect that the vigilance here was so high, and he was discovered as soon as he arrived here, so he had no choice but to attack head-on.
And even if he attacked head-on, he didn't think he would lose, the people of Erlong Mountain had recently suppressed a lot of mountains controlled by Taiping Dao, which was really impressive.
There are two main intentions for coming today, one is to investigate the situation, and if you can sneak attack, you will sneak attack, anyway, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the other party can't chase it if they want to.
He didn't expect to meet Hao Siwen here, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and after thinking about it for a while, he still felt attacked, and wanted to use his own attack to wake up Hao Siwen's turnaround.
Maybe this is a bit wishful thinking, but in the face of former colleagues and friends, it is still worth a try, and if you can't beat it, you can't run, and you won't lose much.
The charge of five or six hundred cavalry was quite spectacular, rolling up the dust that rushed to the sky, like a tornado, which made people feel a little depressed, a little nervous, and even a little timid.
The warriors on the horse showed their dazzling long knives one by one, like a god of death, about to harvest the lives of the world, and the general took the lead, and the war horse under the crotch looked like a first-class horse, and the speed was even better.
In the face of the menacing attack, Hao Siwen didn't feel nervous at all, but in the face of the shame on the faces of his former colleagues, he didn't expect that in the battle against Taiping Dao, the first general to face was his friend, and he really felt a little bad in his heart.
It's just that now each is its own master, Hao Siwen is not a capricious person, he knows that it is good to quit and treat himself, and he has no intention of rebelling again.
When Shen Shen responded, seeing the cavalry on the opposite side gradually, he shouted: "Crossbow. Prepare the bow and release the arrow! ”
The crossbowmen of the two companies, with more than 400 crossbow arrows, with endless strength, roared towards the cavalry on the opposite side in an instant.
The cavalry on the horse saw a rain of arrows in front of them, and hurriedly brandished their long knives to cover their bodies, they had already practiced the ability to cover themselves in the chaos of arrows, otherwise they would have gone down to see the king of Hades.
It's just that this time the arrow seems to be a different arrow, and the power is amazing, even if you use a long knife to block, it only makes the crossbow arrow slightly biased to the head, but the castration of the crossbow arrow is not reduced at all.
As a result, everyone was shocked, and many people were shot and fell off their horses before they could react, and the second wave of crossbow arrows rushed to their eyes in the blink of an eye.
The hundreds of cavalry who rushed in front couldn't dodge, and they all turned over and fell off their horses, although the general barely dodged, but it was also a thrilling practice.
He didn't expect that the other party would have a repeating crossbow, and he didn't have time to think about it in his heart, and the speed of the horse under his crotch was also very fast, and in only two arrows, he was already approaching the gate of Erlong Mountain.
Seeing that the gate was in front of him, the general's heart was excited, and when he was about to rush in, unexpectedly, everyone on the opposite side suddenly retracted their bows and stood up, and stood on both sides, and actually made way in the middle.
And before he could be happy, there was a faint sound of shaking from the heavens and the earth, like an earthquake, which made people lose their minds for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a row of cavalry suddenly flashed out on the opposite side, to be exact, a row of heavy cavalry, neat formations, neat spears, neat armor, and even horses were wearing armor.
He had never seen such a cavalry, and the horse on the opposite side could only see the armor, but not the people, and the speed was not fast, but it was not slow.
In a blink of an eye, he came to the front of the general, but there was more than a row of cavalry on the opposite side, there were more than a hundred, and the way he appeared was really shocking.
The general waited, and the subordinates behind him also arrived, and the two sides finally stood face to face, looking at the fully armed cavalry opposite, but it aroused the general's arrogance, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
Everyone behind him shouted in an earth-shattering voice: "Kill! ”
And as the general of Tiefutu, Shi Qian did not fall behind at all, and inside the iron helmet, his voice sounded dullly, and he shouted calmly: "Kill!" ”
At the same time, an equally shocking shout came from behind him: "Kill!" ”
The two sides were on the verge of breaking out, and the Iron Float was still in a neat formation, running forward neatly, their iron armor could not penetrate, their iron helmets could not be cut, and their war horses could not be injured in the slightest.
In the face of such an invulnerable team, the general didn't know where to start, but the opponent's spear was stabbed into the heart of his own people, and one by one his lives were lost.
Soon, after a round of charges, Tiefu slaughtered nearly 100 enemies, but the cavalry led by the general was in a broken formation, without shaking the opponent in the slightest.
Such an enemy was really terrifying, and the general's heart quickly flashed with a trace of remorse, maybe he shouldn't have come here today.
