Chapter 442: The Fierceness of Silence

At this time in the past, the sky should have been bright, but today, there was a layer of mist, fluttering, and it was a little hazy in front of him, and the steep blade of the Nine Swords Peak became more and more sinister, and the mist drifted by, and it was easily torn into sections, revealing whitish rocks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the distance of the mist, there was a dull drum sound, neat and monotonous, but it seemed to be unstoppable, and then, a column of soldiers walked out of the fog and stood on the top of the main peak of the Nine Swords Peak, and it was vaguely possible to see the distant team approaching with the rumbling footsteps, about thousands. The reason why the sound is so clear is entirely because thousands of people are walking in unison, and the ground seems to tremble with each step of the drum.

There were no hoarse shouts, no frantic shouts, only boundless silence and depressing solemnity. Wan Changlin's hand on the Nine Swords Peak trembled slightly, he himself was a fierce general, and Liao Bin, the commander of the whole state, was even more long-term in governing the army, but when he saw the appearance of the Dingzhou soldiers, he still couldn't help but tremble, is this the Dingzhou soldier who is the best in the world? The thousands of soldiers of Jiudaozhai on the peak also seemed to be infected, and the noise gradually stopped, and slowly fell silent.

Boom, boom, one by one, the infantry phalanx reached the foot of the mountain, silently stopped, in the distance, a louder roar came, it was a horse team, a Li character banner pierced through the mist, appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and then, a group of cavalry galloped in, lined up behind the infantry phalanx.

Is under the banner the legendary Li Qing of Da Chu? Wan Changlin's eyes widened, trying his best to distinguish the other party, but the distance between the two sides was too far, and a vague figure appeared, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The drums stopped, the loud horn sound came clearly, the peaks and peaks, all were deathly silent, only the sound of the horn echoed in the air, Wan Chang could hear that the other party was blowing a tune, the song gradually rose from the beginning of the flat, faintly seemed to have the sound of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

The drums sounded suddenly, and this time there seemed to be hundreds of drums beating at the same time, each striking falling exactly where the horn was lowering. The drums and trumpets are combined, and the melody is filled with a tragic atmosphere.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The silent phalanx suddenly erupted with an earth-shattering roar, and with the roar of the infantry phalanx, the horse team behind him raised a long chopping knife, and a snow-bright blade cut through the haze, "Kill!" ”

With the shouting, the mist seemed to be frightened, and with a whoosh, it instantly dissipated without a trace, and the sunlight pierced the clouds steeply, reflecting on the military formation below the mountain, covering it with a layer of golden light.

The infantry phalanx, who shouted several times to kill, had condensed their battle intent to the highest point, and then fell into silence again, and looked firmly at the only road that winded and led to the top of the mountain, which was destined by heaven to be a road of death that was about to be soaked in blood.

Without hesitation, a Yunlu lieutenant stepped out of the crowd, carrying a large shield in his hand, and walked towards the path several steps wide, and behind him, two rows of soldiers followed closely, each carrying a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. After taking a few steps, the lieutenant began to run in small steps, faster and faster.

As he jumped, the drum beat behind him sounded again.

Wan Changlin's face was pale, he looked back at the soldiers behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Only those who have the heart of death can live, in the face of such a strong soldier, there is no possibility of luck, brothers, if you want to live, you should boldly face death!" ”

Chen Shouxin has been a guy who dares to die since the day he started to work as a bandit with Wan Changlin, he is as bold as a fight, and he never knows what he is afraid of, but today, he is a little hairy, and his clenched palms are wet with sweat. In the face of the enemy, he had seen those who roared and screamed like madmen, and he had seen those whose eyes were red and who were rampage, but he had never seen anything like this.

Silence, silent advance, silent running, the battle had begun, but he couldn't hear the shouting that made him boil, but the silence that made him palpitate.

He is the guard of the first bayonet of the Nine Swords Peak, and there are about hundreds of people under him. Looking at the Dingzhou officer who was approaching, Chen Shouxin seemed to see contempt in the other party's upward gaze, although he knew that the other party couldn't see him at all, but Chen Shouxin felt so, there was no him in the officer's eyes at all.

"Prepare the Rolling Stones!" He commanded, "I want to see if you will scream when you die!" He gritted his teeth and pounded the walls of the level.

The polished round stone ball weighing nearly 100 catties was pushed to the pass, and the formation Shouxin glanced at the Dingzhou officer again, "Let's go!" As soon as a few soldiers exerted their strength, the stone ball immediately rolled down the path.

The stone ball in the captain's eyes was getting bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer, his face changed color slightly, but he didn't move, he slammed the huge shield in his hand to the ground, and then propped one leg back, into a lunge shape, turned his shoulder sideways, and resisted the shield hard, he wanted to bear the impact of the stone ball with his flesh and blood.

The figure around him shook, and it was several soldiers behind him who grabbed a few steps in front of him, and the same action blocked their commander behind him, and more soldiers squeezed up, and the shield stood on the ground, and the person immediately propped up.

With a bang, the stone ball smashed heavily on the shield of the first row, the shield shattered, the soldiers in front of them were broken, the blood in their mouths spurted wildly, and they fell softly, but they succeeded in blocking the most fierce blow of the stone balls, the stone balls ran over their corpses, and hit the soldiers in the second row again. The stone bullet stopped, and immediately several soldiers rushed up and used all their strength to lift the stone bullet aside.

The soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward and rushed forward.

Chen Shouxin looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, the impact of the hard stone ball was self-destruction, no one could resist such an impact, but these Dingzhou soldiers actually calmly greeted death with great care, and blocked him at the smallest cost.

"Put, connect keep put!" He roared in a trembling voice.

"Archer, shoot!"

The same storyline is repeated on this road of less than 100 meters, the trail is stained red with blood, and even the red liquid can be seen flowing, and the sound of ticking can be heard. At the cost of their lives, the Dingzhou soldiers advanced step by step towards the first checkpoint, and then advanced.

Chen Shouxin finally saw the first captain Yunlu to set foot on this road fall, and about twenty meters away from the checkpoint, he was shot in the face by a feather arrow, and he breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the captain fall straight down. It seemed that the depressed depression dissipated a lot with the fall of the captain.

"Ready for battle!" As soon as he spit out a breath, he felt that the entire level shook, which was because the Dingzhou soldiers rushed up and hit the wall.

Because of the terrain, the checkpoints on the Nine Blades Peak are not high, most of them are only about five or six meters, but because the attackers need to attack from their backs, the difficulty is even greater. Everyone was crowded under the gate, the rolling stone had completely lost its effect, Chen Shouxin picked up a stone weighing more than ten catties, stood on the wall with a cruel smile, and yelled, "Fuck it!" ”

Just finished shouting, before he had time to smash the stone out of his hand, swishing a few times, there was a sound of breaking the air below, Chen Shouxin had a sharp pain, the stone in his hand fell down, there was a muffled sound, Chen Shouxin turned over and fell, with two feather arrows in his chest, jumped up, pulled out the long arrow inserted in the armor casually, and the blood was marked, Chen Shouxin couldn't help but gasp, fuck, what the hell, Lao Tzu's armor can also be shot through. Fortunately, his armor was excellent, and if the quality was a little inferior, the two arrows would have killed him.

The city wall was not high, and although it was a back-attack, the archers who came up from behind completely gave up their protection, pulled out the Yiping bow in their hands, and shot armor-piercing arrows up the city like raindrops. These archers have excellent armor that can block ordinary arrows, but they can't stop the hard smashing of rocks anyway. A shooter shoots at most one or two arrows, and then he falls to the ground and never gets up again.

But above the checkpoint, Chen Shouxin's subordinates also began to appear in a large area of casualties, and the armor of these soldiers could not stop Dingzhou's armor-piercing arrows.

With the lesson of the last time, Chen Shouxin no longer dared to be careless, hiding behind the wall, raising his strong bow, aiming at the Dingzhou soldiers under the city, shooting one by one, his bow is hard and arrowy, although the armor on the Dingzhou soldiers is excellent, but he can't resist his superb archery, every arrow goes straight to the throat door, and an arrow shoots out, it will take a life.

The corpses under the city gradually rose to the top, and Chen Shouxin also paid the price of nearly 200 people.

The buzzing sound startled Chen Shouxin, there were eight bull crossbows arranged on the level, but under the city, under such terrain, how could the other party have eight bull crossbows?

He stood up, and after just one look, he felt hot and hot, fuck, it could still be used like this.

More than a dozen Dingzhou soldiers lifted the eight-bull crossbow on their shoulders, the people in front knelt down, and the people behind stood upright, forming an artificial platform, and the eight-bull crossbow had a stable shooting surface.

Suddenly opened his bow and arrows, and with a whoosh, shot down a person who was carrying an eight-ox crossbow on his horns, and as soon as this person fell, a person next to him immediately made up for it and raised the eight-ox crossbow again, and at the same time, several large shields stood up to block the crossbow-carrying soldiers.

Buzzing sounded, Chen Shouxin subconsciously shrank his neck, snatched a few sounds, this row of four eight-bull crossbows grazed the city wall and shot up, and in the screams of the soldiers who couldn't avoid the shot, they were shot upside down and flew out, far behind the pass.

The sound of snatching was endless, and in the blink of an eye, the other party set up three eight-bull crossbows in front of the pass, and one by one crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms were fiercely inserted into the city wall. Immediately after, there were Dingzhou soldiers like apes, holding their knives in their mouths, alternating their hands, and climbing up along the spear shafts inserted in the wall.

For the first time, hand-to-hand combat took place on the level, and although the soldier was quickly killed on top of the city, it marked the beginning of another phase of siege warfare.
