Chapter 67: Four-Star Gold Reversal
In fact, the reason why Tuxingsun and others only encountered resistance from thirty or forty Baoding was actually because the other defense areas of the city wall defense line laid by Zheng Patrol were tight, and they had no choice but to send reinforcements from other defense areas of Baoding in the past. Now thousands of people in the nameless county have basically gathered in the area centered on the county government, waiting for the end of the fighting.
The more than 100 Baoding, who were originally defending the southwest direction, gathered in the various defense areas of the southeast city wall at this time, and used the bungalows and car formations to stubbornly resist the attack of the bandits. The so-called defense area is divided by several miles and markets, and the city wall of the car array is stuck in the passage, and the wall of the square is now. At the most densely populated section of the city wall, there were almost a hundred people in Baoding!
These bandits outside the city wall of the car array are different from those that Wu Xing and others saw on the side of the road who were frightened by a few arrows, and they are even more different from the minions of Tuxing Sun who pretend to be dead at every turn, they hold the door panels and bed boards removed from the houses on the outskirts of the nameless town, forming a turtleshell-like "shield array", and when they advance to the front of the car array, several flying tiger claws fly out of the gaps in the open shield array, wrap around the wheels, or hook the big wheels, and then drag them back together. On the other side, Bao Ding grabbed the wheels and wheels and pulled back hard. The tug-of-war between the two sides generally goes back and forth. Only a few of these bandits wore leather armor, the others were naked, their weapons were varied, their clothes were even more messy, and some even wore straw sandals on their feet, which looked like paupers.
The reason why the bandits need a "shield array" is that compared to the dense defense, the fortifications in this defense area are relatively diverse. Charcoal basins would be set up on the roofs on both sides of the walls of the chariot array to boil the water in the large iron pot until it boiled, and then two or three guards would carry it to the edge of the roof and pour it directly onto the shield array. When such a large pot of boiling water goes down, the shield array will immediately be empty, and four or five, six or seven thieves will fall, rolling on the muddy ground in pain.
Another reason for the need for shields is that the spears in the hands of the guards can often be pierced from under the carts, piercing the calves and soles of the thieves who try to move the carts into one or two bloody holes.
In order for the bandits to suppress the boiling water of the Baodings, many of the bandits have gone to the roof through the human ladder and carried out long-range strikes on the Baoding who boiled water through bows and arrows, which seriously interfered with the efficiency of the defense.
Judging from the fact that there were archers among the bandits, this large-scale joint attack of many cottages was extraordinary. Because archers take years to train. Then the identity of these bandits with a very tenacious will to fight seems to be about to come out: nine times out of ten, it is the last time that the stragglers of the Ba and Shu countries in the vicinity will be assembled.
Wu Xing and Bagen built a ladder again and sent Qin Lan to the roof of a large family nearby.
"In addition to those archers, pick some other bandit leaders as targets, and let those minions go. Wu Xing reminded.
"Don't worry! Those arrows just now aren't even a warm-up. The condescending Qin Lan suddenly dodged a feather arrow, and then reached out and grabbed another feather arrow in his hand, opened the bow and sent it back. Wu Xing and Bagen immediately heard a scream and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the distance.
"Those shield arrays, can you handle them?" Wu Xing pointed to the door panels outside the car array and asked Tuxingsun.
"I need a better weapon. Tuxing Sun looked around, trying to find a piece to take advantage of, and when he turned around, he saw Wu Xing handing over a palm-long three-edged thorn.
"In the legends of the old calendar and the previous dynasties, Tuxingsun later abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. Wu Xing put the three-edged thorn in Tuxingsun's hand, and said, "You are so timid, you shouldn't have done anything bad." Then do more good deeds!"
Tuxing Sun took the handful of "four-star gold" in his hand and checked it, screamed excitedly, untied the round shield behind him, and rolled forward and got out from under the cart, and then heard the curses of the bandits outside one after another, mixed with screams.
Wu Xing turned around and called a security chief to show the token given by the Zheng Patrol Inspector, and asked them to pass the information back to the Zheng Patrol Office as soon as possible, and then pointed to the direction where the Tuxing Sun was raging outside the city wall of the car array, explained the situation in a low voice, and gave a few instructions, asking the Baoding to be cautious in dealing with the Tuxing Sun who is still not a friend or foe.
"You trust him so much?" Bagen and Wu Xing walked quickly towards the next defense area, and asked casually: "That should be a piece of dark iron, right?
"An eighth-rank martial star certified by the Star Temple, it is possible for the three of us to join forces to defeat him at present, but it is impossible to force him to stay. Especially me, there are too few ways to attack and defend at the moment. Wu Xing said: "He is actually staying for those so-called companions who will only pretend to be dead when they are in danger." I don't think anyone is keen on playing dead unless someone asks them to. ”
"I think you really want to join the Shunfeng Dart Game, right? The direction of Tuxingsun's cultivation should be a very good candidate for scouting, and it is worth wooing. Bagen smiled and directly broke Wu Xing's intentions: "The Shunfeng Dart Bureau urgently needs Xingjun's foreign aid, and we need the Dart Banner in the internal history of Gyeonggi as a foothold, and cooperation will benefit both sides!"
Wu Xing coughed lightly, diverted the topic, and said, "Brother Pole and Poisonous Weed haven't shown up yet, do you think one of the two of them will be an internal ghost?"
As they spoke, the two of them had already come to another defense area of the southern Che Array city wall. The battle situation here was similar to the one that Wu Xing and the others had just passed through, and the bandits took advantage of the advantage of numbers to launch an attack on several sections of the car formation city wall, and also tried to destroy the defense line by means of "shield formation" and dragging carts. Some of the chariot formations were broken and the gaps were filled by the spear array and Bao Ding's human life, and the gaps were plugged.
The corpses strewn across the ground, the wounded moaning in pain, and the blood stains everywhere reminded the people around them that this was not an ordinary battle between villages and towns for water or mines, but the most fierce collision for the transfer of the right to survive on this land!
Wu Xing took advantage of Bagen's ladder to the roof and used his spear to solve a few archers, and the battle in this defensive area tended to be stalemate, and both the offensive and defensive sides had no good way to expand the results.
"How can there be no Star Monarch among the bandits with hundreds of people? Excluding Tuxing Sun, the other three cottage owners are all Star Monarchs!" Bagen muttered: "There is no shadow of the Star Monarch Village Lord among the thieves on the south side of the Che Array City Wall, can it be said that .......?"
"Brother Pole, Poisonous Weed was dragged down by the Star Monarch Village Master of the Bandits?" Wu Xing said worriedly: "But it makes no sense for us to join the battle of the Star Envoy level!"
At this time, Qin Lan and Tuxingsun "came together".
Seeing Tuxingsun following Qin Lan's submissive appearance, Wu Xing quipped: "Qin Darttou, have you bullied Tuxingsun?"
Qin Lan took the other quiver handed over by Bagen and hung it on the girdle, and said casually: "No, I don't have the spare time to do such a boring thing. I just told him that when I was a kid, I used to shoot rats with a hunting bow in the woods, and usually those rats didn't have a chance to run back into the hole. ”
A "mouse", a "hole", is already very pointed. Tuxingsun's appearance is not particularly pleasing, with triangular eyes, high cheekbones, buck teeth, and driving ears.
In Qin Lan's upbringing, the bandits and dart masters were naturally hostile, and they might choose to let go because of the prestige of some big dart games and dart masters, but they would usually attack those who were weak. In the heyday of the Shunfeng dart game, there were only dozens of people, and it still belonged to the small dart game, and the next two dart sheets at the same time would be left and right.
Tuxingsun muttered, but the other three didn't hear clearly, and Qin Lan asked directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it!
"I said......." Tu Xingsun suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "I only rob the caravan of the West Wind Country, and never attack the Bashu Kingdom itself! Also, I only rob grain, never kill people!"
Qin Lan, Wu Xing, and Bagen were stunned for a moment. Judging from the childishness between Tuxingsun's eyebrows, he was just a teenager less than twenty years old. Tuxing Sun directly opposes the West Wind Kingdom and the "Bashu Kingdom" in his words, and the subtext is obviously to regard the southbound immigrants as invaders. If you look at it this way, Tuxingsun's behavior is remarkable, and it is even necessary to say that he is resisting the "invasion" in his own way. Hmm, although when he was born, the country of Ba and Shu should have been almost swept away by the country of the west wind.
Of course, Tuxingsun's appearance has nothing to do with righteousness, but his two sentences make Wu Xing and the three unable to refute.
It is true that the successive monarchs of Pakistan and Shu were arrogant and unreasonable, and the domestic people were poor and their armaments were lax...... But these are not the reasons for the blatant invasion of the West Wind Country, nor can they change the fact that the old four counties of the West Wind Country have migrated south to occupy the land of the Bashu people. Even the bandits, who may have been farmers who used to farm the land, are now just homeless people.
Qin Lan was also speechless for a while, so she had to say to Wu Xing: "I am the head of the dart, who to recruit or not, it is up to me to decide!"
And Wu Xing's growth environment is destined to be a young man who is round on the outside and square on the inside, can compromise, knows how to be flexible, and is quite tolerant of things and people, so he is quite puzzled by Qin Lan's nameless fire.
"Give you back. Tuxing Sun handed over the four-star gold, the tip of the thorn pointed towards himself, and the section of the frosted pattern was towards Wu Xing. This detailed action, if from the folk, and the etiquette of handing scissors is the same, the tip of the blade is held in the hand and handed to the other party, you can avoid the other party being scratched by the tip of the blade in the handover process; And this kind of action, in fact, can also be interpreted as "surrender" and surrender to Wu Xing.
