Chapter 17: The Longest Day
"Wood ready!" Luke, covered in dust, yelled, "Release! At the sound of an order, dozens of solid wooden piles rolled down, and there were bursts of screams from the climbing homeless, and the wooden piles rolled all the way extremely fast, and a wooden pile often had to be knocked down more than ten times before it stopped, which had a great impact on the homeless people. And the impact of this almost irresistible object on morale is even more incalculable. The outcasts were originally a team of deserters and fugitives, who were not very brave, and at this time, seeing that there seemed to be an endless supply of wood and stone on them, everyone wanted to retreat in a restless mood, and no one wanted to die in vain without seeing the shadow of the enemy.
In the midst of the chaos, a voice came out: "Get out of the way of Lao Tzu!" Seeing him roar, he actually firmly held a wooden stake and did not let go, and after retreating more than ten steps in a row, he completely unloaded the power of the stake, you must know that although this is only a small wooden stake that is less than half a person high, the weight of the rolling belt itself, not to mention the weight of a thousand catties, at this time the big bear actually used manpower to intercept it, not only Luke and others on the top of the mountain were stunned, even the homeless people did not expect that they had such strength.
Big Bear yelled: "What are you afraid of, they are just a group of cowards who only dare to hide behind obstacles and dare not leak their faces, Lao Tzu alone can destroy them all!" It's still a man, and it's all with me! The morale of the displaced people, which had been weakened, was raised again, and they screamed and attacked the summit again.
Luke yelled, "Wood! What about wood? Seeing that there were only more than a dozen wooden stakes rolling in front of him, and they were of different sizes, it was obviously difficult to cause effective damage, and he said angrily: "Why are there only so many, people?" Where have they gone, can't you understand me? ”
Mihawk said solemnly: "Chief, there is no wood on the top of the mountain, and the stone pier has also been used in the earlier wave of attacks, and we only have bows and arrows left, but we only have ten feather arrows per person before we come here." The number is also extremely limited. ”
Luke was shocked and said, "So fast?" Luke looked up and found that the sky was just beginning to darken, and it was still very early before the arrival of reinforcements at dawn, and he cursed secretly: "Why the hell is the sun not going to leave today." He turned to Mihawk and ordered: "Gather all the bows and arrows, choose fifty of the most accurate archers in peacetime, give them all the feather arrows, and only let them be released according to my orders, and at any other time they are not allowed to release their arrows privately." Mihawk took the order and left. Luke looked at the homeless people who were getting closer and closer, and knew that tonight must be a long, sleepless night.
Quirrell slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that his whole body was about to fall apart, and the double torture of detachment and wounds tormented him one after another. Looking around, I found myself lying in a makeshift tent. Just about to sit up, the two wounds on the back and left shoulder protested, Quirrell groaned, his right hand touched the wound, it had been bandaged, this oop finally alarmed the people outside the tent, a tall figure flashed into the tent and said: "I thought you kid just hung up like this, and it really happened to live for a thousand years." "It's Andrew, the old enemy.
Quirrell smiled bitterly: "Immortality is fate, brother, if you appear a little late, I will die." Quirrell smiled bitterly and moved his body again, only to feel unbearably thirsty, and bared his teeth and said, "Is there any water?" What's going on with you guys? Andrew casually threw a bag of water, lost the excitement just now, and said gloomily: "The captain died, hundreds of homeless people suddenly appeared in the morning, and the leader was a big man, the captain didn't notice for a while, and he hit him on the head with a stick, and he didn't work at that time." We couldn't withstand their onslaught, so we had to retreat to this mountain, but for some reason we never attacked the mountain. And I was patrolling the mountain road with a dozen brothers to prevent them from sneaking up, and I heard shouts of killing nearby, only to find that it was you kid who was so powerful, one hit twenty. ”
Quirrell was afraid: "It's good to meet you, otherwise I would have died, but I didn't expect them to give up the camp." "I made it clear to Andrew at the moment. Andrew was shocked: "No wonder, they only didn't make any movement after the first wave of rapid raids drove us up the mountain, in fact, they are more afraid than us now." Quirrell nodded, "Yes, now the Sixth Brigade is tightly surrounded by their main force in the canyon, and it is in danger of being destroyed at any time. We're running out of time. ”
Big Bear took the lead, rushing to the front, his huge body and voice made the visual effect of his impact extremely exaggerated, and the front row of pikemen was a little frightened just when they saw him, and Luke's heart was also full of horror. But the sense of responsibility made him know that he couldn't leak out half of his timidity no matter what, so he only silently counted the steps in his heart, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps, and eighty steps, and at this time the bear's thick hairy facial features had gradually become clear, and the shouting of killing became clearer and clearer.
Luke yelled, "Shoot the arrows!" "In the first round, fifty arrows broke through the air, and the mace behind the bear spun rapidly, almost becoming a wall in front of him, and the soldiers instinctively wanted to shoot the leader, and most of the bows and arrows rushed towards him, but at this time they were all blocked by him, and they were brave and invincible. Luke didn't have time to be shocked and ordered again: "All archers prepare, target away from that big man, turn up the arc, and shoot behind him and in places that he can't protect to the left and right!" Wind, put! ”
A second round of arrows erupted again, behind avoiding the range of the Great Bear Mace. Naturally, the others did not have the skills to dodge, and they were hit by arrows one after another. At this time, Big Bear and the others were less than thirty steps away from the top of the mountain, and Luke shouted: "The archers retreat, the pikes step forward, and prepare for a white-knuckle battle!" "The white-knuckle battle that Luke has been reluctant to have finally arrived.
Mihawk held a long sword, standing at the front of the team, his slightly sweaty palms couldn't tell whether he was nervous or excited at this time, Mihawk tightened the long sword in his hand, raised his sword and shouted: "Brothers, the big man is handed over to me, everyone guard their posts, the imperial army, victory!" ”
"Victory!"
At this time, the victory is heartbreaking, whether nervous or afraid, everyone hopes to release their emotions under the pretext to embolden themselves. The big bear finally rushed to the edge of the position at this time, Mihawk's long sword was picked, and the whole person jumped to the front, actually stepped on the antlers and jumped in front of the big bear, not to mention that he didn't answer, the long sword danced like a blooming white flower, and went straight to the big bear, the big bear rushed to be happy, who thought that there was a master like Mihawk hidden among the soldiers, and he didn't react in a hurry, and hurriedly raised his mace, but Mihawk didn't wait for him to react, lowered his body, the long sword was slashed along his ankle, and the big bear's legs retreated sharply, just forgetting that he was still on the hillside, and actually stepped on the air, With an oops, he fell to the sky.
Mihawk secretly said good luck, one turned over and withdrew to stand firm on the antlers, pointed his long sword at him, and shouted: "If you are not afraid of death, just come, when have the men of my empire been afraid!" ”
When everyone saw that Mihawk was so brave, the big bear was useless again, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted in unison: "Come on! ”
At this time, the big bear stood up with difficulty, knowing that he had lost the adult, his hair was straight, and his face was distorted: "Where did the little ghost come from, will he only sneak attack others?" There is a kind of you and I don't need help, come and fight with grandpa for another 300 rounds. ”
Mihawk was about to say yes as soon as he was happy, but Luke took him down and whispered, "Don't be impulsive. Then he turned to the big bear and smiled: "Isn't your head, just like the face, full of muscles?" A waste who falls down on his back when he looks at his face, is he too embarrassed to challenge? Is it more cheeky? Then I surrender on behalf of my brother. All of them laughed, and the poor-mouthed ones even challenged the bear.
Da Xiong He had suffered such an insult, and he was furious and asked for death, and led people to rush forward again. Luke took advantage of his mouth, but he didn't relax at all, and yelled, "Let's go! "There were only a dozen or so wooden stakes left on the top of the mountain with a volley of fifty archers, and the homeless people thought that all kinds of fortifications had already bottomed out, but at this time, when they saw the bow and arrow combined with the rolling logs attacking again, they thought they were fooled, and they didn't dare to resist, I don't know who started, almost all of them turned around and ran. Da Xiong couldn't stop drinking alone, so he had to retreat with the flow of people.
Mihawk yelled, "Don't run! "Rushing out with people is another cover-up. Big Bear was suffering from the fact that there was no one around him to listen to the order, so he had to retreat first. Mihawk knew that the poor were not chasing, and returned to the top of the mountain early. The first wave of attacks was actually defended unharmed by a surprise attack by Mihawk, and the people on the top of the mountain couldn't help but increase their confidence, cheering that the morale of the middle school had reached its peak.
Mihawk and Luke knew that they had completely used up their defenses, and there were not many feather arrows in stock, and the corpses left behind by the successful defense of the enemy this time were only more than a hundred, which was really insignificant compared to the troops of nearly 3,000 people. The gradually darkening sky made the two even more mixed.
At this time, Victor was not depressed at all, ignoring the embarrassed bear beside him, and said lightly: "Their inventory should have bottomed out, earlier than I expected." Hurry up and get rid of those cowards, I'm going to make a clean contribution here before it gets dark. Then he grabbed the impatient bear and said, "You wait." Although the big bear was anxious for revenge, he never asked Victor why in business, although the unhappiness and grievances in his heart could not be suppressed, so he snorted and turned around and left. Victor knew his partner well and didn't look at him, his eyes staring straight at the top of the mountain again. Thousands of displaced people also gathered again to launch the first large-scale attack on the top of the mountain.
Luke was secretly glad that he had discovered the movement of the displaced people in time, and they could not take advantage of their numbers on the top of the mountain, and if they collided with them on flat ground, he was afraid that his three hundred people would not be enough to fill the gaps. After Mihawk's act of killing the big bear in seconds just now, the soldiers saw that he had long since lost his previous estrangement, but was full of respect, and greeted him everywhere he passed, and some of the cheerful ones even joked directly. Mihawk had never been treated like this, and in flattered flatterment, his sword-wielding hand tightened again, and he secretly vowed to take everyone back.
"They're here again." The homeless people did not have any intention to hide, and the number of people who were several times more than just now was densely packed all over the mountain road, although there was no big bear to lead the team, but the momentum did not decrease at all. Luke was still at eighty paces, and ordered a salvo, but this time the outcasts were obviously prepared, and raised all kinds of armor early, with planks and animal skins, but there were almost no real shields, but the group of fifty archers was too small at this time, and the original ones that were shot down were not made up quickly, and in a moment the outcasts had rushed to the antlers, and the planks in their hands were thrown at the youth group, and the weapons hanging on their waists were casually drawn, and they went straight to the top of the mountain.
Quirrell picked up two oncoming planks and yelled, "Brothers, hold your ground! The homeless people rushed to the top of the hill, and the forerunners had already handed out their weapons, and the soldiers behind the antlers were not to be outdone, and a spear stabbed straight out of the dug hole. The displaced people had no defenses, and in an instant, they suffered heavy casualties. The people behind him lost their previous timidity, and scrambled forward by stepping on the corpses of their comrades, while Mihawk led the people to stand firmly in front of the antlers and send back the homeless people who tried to jump over.
Mihawk's long sword has become the biggest nightmare of the outcasts, and Mihawk, who has abandoned those fancy sword moves, has become the most terrifying demon king, leaving only straight stabs or sweeps, plus no need to worry about the left and right sides. He didn't know how many swords he swung, and he couldn't tell whether the blood on his face was from his comrade or his enemy. But whenever there is a scream around him, there will always be a new person to fill in and defend this first position. The soldier who was half-crouched under him and was responsible for getting the gun out of the hole was also already numb, only to know that the tired machine shot out of the gun. After Mihawk stabbed to death another oncoming man, the long sword finally broke off with a slam, and the half-sword was thrown out casually, helping his comrade on the left to relieve the siege. Seeing that the killing god had no weapons, the homeless people roared loudly, almost frantically squeezed towards Mihawk, the first two people slashed left and right, vowing to cut Mihawk through it, Mihawk's body was slightly on one side, and the two weapons were close to the body and slashed back and forth, not giving these two people a chance to change their tactics again, stretched forward with both hands, grabbed the joints of the hands of the two people and pushed and sent, both dislocated in the scream, the weapon was taken out of the hand in response, Mihawk took the weapon and cut out of the air, and the result was two. The left pistol and the right hand sword danced again, and the poor four or five homeless people thought that they could take advantage of the opportunity, but they were killed without even having a chance to regret it. Seeing that Mihawk was so brave, the soldiers cheered in unison again, mustered up their spare strength, and completely killed the displaced people who were about to enter the position.
Luke led his men to make up for a round of arrows at the right time, and completely killed the already demoralized outcasts. All of a sudden, cheers filled the mountaintop. Mihawk, who was exhausted, relaxed, and the feeling of powerlessness instantly spread all over his body, and the whole person lay down on his back to the sky, looking at the already dark sky, and secretly said in his heart: "I don't know why that guy Quirrell went." ”
