Chapter 14: Kill You, and I'll Go Home
Qiao Guoqiang pulled out the horse lance inserted in the stomach of An Daren, stood up and poked it into the ground, walked over and pulled out the cavalry knife and slashed An Daren's head.
"Water..." The old immortal shouted.
"Here you go!" Qiao Guoqiang took out the water bladder on his waist and asked for him.
"No... Ground! The old immortal pointed to a place, "There is water on the ground..."
Qiao Guoqiang looked in the direction of his finger, it was the horse lance he had just inserted into the ground. Streams of groundwater bubbled up from under the lance, and then spewed out four or five meters high like a fountain...
"Myitky has been found..." The old immortal shouted
"Meaning..." Captain Li looked at the fountain and chattered a little, "This is the meaning, I always thank us for killing all the horses." ”
Cao Jian looked at Qiao Guoqiang and said to Captain Li, "It should be Diao Lao who has abducted and killed the most enemies, and all the old men will take his hand and give us Qingquan..."
Qiao Guoqiang looked at the horse lance, a little incredulous, "It's too fucking Xuanling, right?!" ”
After a big battle, the horses were completely annihilated, and the camel team also found water.
After letting the horses and camels drink freely, everyone filled up all the water bladders they could find and prepared to continue on their way.
While everyone was drinking, Qiao Guoqiang put Andarao's Persian Sher's scimitar and his helmet into the system space.
With a dozen spare horses, everyone walked a little faster than before.
You must know that the main reason for walking slowly before is that the horse's endurance is not as good as that of the camel. Now that they have two horses and enough water, each horse has twice the weight time, so they will naturally have more time to recover their strength and walk faster.
So, they actually rushed to the lonely city in half the time less than expected!
Don't look at the lonely city as a "city", in fact, it is a military station for soldiers and merchants to sharpen and supply, and there are less than 20 people in total.
The lonely city was built on a sloping ground high in the east and low in the west, and on the east side was a deep ditch, about twelve or thirteen stories high, and all in that direction there was no wall at all, but a wall.
In the south, north, and west directions, there are gentle slopes, and there are two walls in these three directions, and the city gate is on the west side. Trenches have been dug under the walls on both the north and south sides, so don't jump in with your horse, even if you are given a ladder, you won't be able to put it down.
If the Turks were going to attack, they would definitely attack the city gate from the west, so the main thing for everyone was to guard the western wall.
Although it is close to the Gobi, it is actually in a second-tier position, and only when the Turks invade on a large scale, will it be at risk of being besieged by large armies.
"Quick! Get ready! Captain Li informed the people here, "The Turks are attacking in large numbers, and it is estimated that they will arrive as soon as possible." ”
The hemp stick smashed open the armory and saw the fire oil inside. "Come and help!"
Several men poured hundreds of jars of fire oil into the oil cylinders and hung them on wooden poles outside the city walls, which was one of the measures used to stop the enemy.
Wu Lao Er and the bald man added a few trebuchets, as long as they cut off the fixed rope, they could throw stones, and the vine balls wrapped in fire oil in their pockets would definitely make the Turkic soldiers drink a pot.
"Spear!" Zi Yu and Qiao Guoqiang put a few spears on a trolley, as long as the enemy stormed the city gate, they pushed the trolley down, that row of spears can stab a few Turkic soldiers, no, the most important thing is to be able to open the distance and buy them time.
In a corner, Yang Yang stuck three pots of arrows used by infantry in the horse dung heap, and then took four pairs of crossbows to the walled city. "Old immortal, how are your legs?"
"It's all right!" "Thanks to your medical skills." Otherwise, I, an old immortal, will probably become dead. ”
"Haha." Qiao Guoqiang smiled, "You have inconvenient legs and feet, and you are not suitable for fighting knives, so shoot arrows on the city wall." ”
"Okay!" The old immortal held a bow, "I use a knife because the bow made me sell." In fact, the old man's archery skills are not bad, and Zibao's arrows can't be compared with when I was young. ”
Qiao Guoqiang handed him his Kaiyuan bow, and then put 40 birch hunting arrows brought by later generations on the ground: "The pulling force of this bow is only 45 catties, but the power of the arrows shot out is about the same as 60 catties." ”
A 30-pound bow target arrow can shoot through the blast shield of the armed police; 40 pounds laminated traditional bow, 15 meters through 1 mm iron plate, the arrow penetrated more than 20 centimeters.
His modern Kaiyuan bow, with only 60 pounds of pull and custom-made streamlined arrows, is more effective than some 80-pound bows. It is not a problem to penetrate the leather armor of the Turkic soldiers at a distance of 70 meters!
"What about you?"
"I use a crossbow and a longbow!" Qiao Guoqiang.
"Rocket, carry it away!" The pomp stick and the cyclops deployed the rocket behind the outer city gates. The monk looked at Captain Li, who had just prepared the gate, and asked, "Can I do something for you?" ”
"Master, let's go and chant the scriptures again!" Captain Li: "Ask the Buddha to bless us." ”
"The Buddha will bless us." The monk looked at Qiao Guoqiang, who was winding a longbow on the city wall, "I saw Chang'an and the Wei River." You, Captain Qiao, and Master Lacey are drinking in the gazebo by the river, and Miss Wenzhu is playing the piano for you. ”
Captain Li nodded, "I see." ”
Seeing that Captain Li continued to be busy, the monk turned his gaze to Qiao Guoqiang again. Then he looked at Lacey again and wondered, "Why?" Why did you kill him? ”
In the evening, Captain Li put a set of Mingguang armor against the door of Wenzhu. "If the Turks come in, wear this!" He had just learned from Laiqi that his old chief had been killed in battle...
The night passed, but the Turkic soldiers did not come, and everyone had a good night's sleep.
In the evening of the second evening, on the city wall, Captain Li and Lai Qi went to school side by side
Captain Li asked Laiqi: "I haven't figured it out, where is your hometown?" ”
"You've asked me before, and I don't want to talk to you."
"Actually, I'm not from your Tang Dynasty." Laiqi. "It's a Dongying person."
"Dongying people?" Captain Li was curious: "Where is Dongying?" ”
"To the east, it's an island nation!" Laiqi: "It takes a lot to get there by boat from your Dadonghai. ”
Captain Li tilted his head and asked with a smile, "Then you came so far here just to arrest me?" ”
Lai Qi shook his head: "I'm a Tang envoy!" ”
"Have you heard of the Tang envoy?"
Captain Li shook his head.
"I was sent to study in the Tang Dynasty!" Laiqi "came on a sea boat at the age of 13, learned swordsmanship, learned swordsmanship, and later learned to walk, horse, and water war..."
"I miss my mother so much, I want to go home!"
"Then you've got to go home." Captain Lee.
Laiqi looked at him and said, "Kill you, and I can go home!" ”
