Chapter 251: Eighteen Arhat Fighting Kings
The vermilion lacquer gate of Shaolin Temple has been tightly closed, not only the door bolt has fallen, but also the inside has been nailed with wooden planks and piled up with stones, making the gate stronger than the courtyard wall.
Huo Yuanzhen stood on the pile of rocks behind the gate, watching the army slowly moving up the mountain.
All the people who came up were infantry, with sword and shield soldiers in front, pikemen in the center, and archers in the rear, but because of the mountain road, their formation was not neat.
Huo Yuanzhen looked coldly at Guan Tianzhao's troops, who were gradually approaching, and secretly laughed in his heart.
These people actually came up with a trick of cavalry impact, the troops in front were just a disguise, and after a while, the cavalry would appear behind them, and then the cover of the archers would first storm the courtyard wall of the Shaolin Temple.
These things were observed by the golden-eyed eagle and passed into Huo Yuanzhen's eyes, those cavalry could jump onto the courtyard wall with the help of the momentum and height of the war horse, and planned to come up and defeat the Shaolin Temple in the first wave of attacks.
Then the pikemen carried some improvised ladders, which were the reinforcements of the second wave.
Under the spy satellite, everything is hidden.
Guan Tianzhao and the others simply did not go up the mountain, and waited for the good news from above at the bottom of the mountain, in their opinion, their 2,500 troops were enough to raze the Shaolin Temple to the ground.
From Guan Tianzhao to the present, he has not even given Shaolin Temple a chance to negotiate or surrender, he believes that there is no need for this, and Shaolin is not qualified to do so.
Huo Yuanzhen understands these things very clearly, but even if Guan Tianzhao comes to negotiate with him, he will not talk to him, because no matter which aspect, Guan Tianzhao's ending is already doomed.
And a person who is going to die, there is nothing to talk about.
Huo Yuanzhen stood on the drum tower, looking down at the temple gate, Hui Wu stood beside him, holding a leading arrow, followed by a little monk, where he was ready to ring the bell.
The pile of rocks in front of the temple gate is connected to the low wall, and many Shaolin disciples stand along the low wall and lean against the courtyard wall, ready to strike at the invading enemy.
On the bell tower opposite the drum tower, Hui Niu and Hui Jian also picked up the bow and arrow, Hui Jian is the innate realm Hui Niu's innate divine power, and the two of them are the same as Hui Wu, they will be the main snipers.
Originally, it was supposed to be the main sniper of the eighteen Arhats such as Huiyi, but now you don't know where to go, let these people try the special bows and arrows made by the Shaolin Temple first.
Huo Yuanzhen also held a lead in his hand, and carried a pot of arrows behind him, and he was also the main sniper.
The Shaolin disciples watched nervously as the approaching enemies bent their bows and arrows, but the abbot did not give an order, and no one could move.
Those sword and shield soldiers had already stepped into the shè cheng, their shields held high, and the surrounding air was impenetrable.
"Come on, come on, rabbit cubs, grandpa has never been so happy since he became a monk!"
Hui Wu was muttering beside him, his mouth was a little unclean, Huo Yuanzhen glanced at him, Hui Wu shrank his head and realized that he was not speaking well.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to talk about his sins, Huo Yuanzhen interrupted him: "There is no need to say sins, it is understandable to say some excessive things today." ”
Hui Wu nodded, the abbot was still very reasonable.
"Drumming!"
Huo Yuanzhen said suddenly, and with a drum of "bang", all the Shaolin disciples' entire nerves tensed, and they all lifted up.
But this, at that time, those sword and shield hands were still holding shields and slowly approaching, and the cavalry behind was not ready to attack, so how could the square clip be prepared?
At this time, the arrow will have no effect at all.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Huo Yuanzhen suddenly said: "Double drums!"
"Bang bang" twice, this is the order to raise the shield.
The Shaolin disciples picked up the wooden shields prepared around them, these were temporary sawn down from thick tree trunks, round and round, which could be used as shields. ...,
Hearing the sound above the drum tower, all the people picked up the wooden shield, stepped on the low wall under their feet, leaned against the courtyard wall, and the wooden shield was raised above their heads, forming the most rigorous protection.
As soon as the wooden shield was raised, the enemy's arrow rain arrived, and the enemy archers who had been secretly following behind the pikemen fired thousands of arrows in unison, falling like a dark cloud in the direction of the Shaolin temple wall.
A "bang" sound sounded like raindrops, and almost every fifty warrior monks who were defending in front had arrows pierced on each of their wooden shields.
The enemy's archers are still very good, if it weren't for Huo Yuanzhen's reminder, many people here would have been injured.
A rain of arrows sounded the horn of the enemy's attack, and their plan was simple, the archers covered, the cavalry attacked, and the infantry followed, and the combat mission was basically completed, and the rest was slaughter.
Huo Yuanzhen saw the enemy's first wave of arrows coming out, and immediately waved his hand, "Aim at the middle of the sword and shield soldier phalanx, give me shè!"
Although everyone did not know why, they must listen to the abbot's words, immediately put down the wooden shield, and raised the bow and arrow.
At this moment, those sword and shield soldiers suddenly separated left and right, and the cavalry behind finally launched a charge!
Hundreds of horses accelerated violently and rushed out at once!
The cavalry roared, their eyes blood-red, they finally came out, and then, it was time for the slaughter.
But they never expected that they would be greeted by a rain of arrows!
This timing was too good, the opponent's sword and shield soldiers had just dodged, and the cavalry had just appeared, and the opponent's arrows came out...... It's almost like Shaolin is releasing arrows, and they take the initiative to meet it.
Bright red blood flowers bloomed in the air, the cavalry had no time to dodge, and almost everyone in front of them was pierced!
The man died, and the corpse fell from his horse, and was trampled into a pulp by the cavalry that came from behind.
Some were easily trampled, while others became a stumbling block for the cavalry behind.
A horse trips and a chain reaction immediately forms.
When the cavalry is charging intensively, if the men and horses in front fall to the ground, it will definitely be a disastrous consequence for the companions behind!
Now it was so, and the cavalry rushed forward one after another, but in front of them were blocked by the corpses of their companions and the ownerless horses.
The nimble riders could rush out from both sides, and the middle and clumsy ones were less lucky, and one after another screams rang out, and one after another fell down and became a rolling hoist.
Huo Yuanzhen didn't seem to look at the chaos there at all, his goal was ...... It was the cavalry that rushed out of the stream.
The first cavalryman to rush out, waving a steel knife in his hand, howled and rushed towards the Shaolin Temple.
This person's armor seems to be a little different from the others, and he should be a general.
"That's him!"
Huo Yuanzhen had already set up the arrow...... Seeing that this person had just emerged, he shouted: "Bah!"
An arrow flew out, like a meteor catching the moon, right in the head of this person!
"Poof!"
shè passed through the enemy's throat as if there was nothing, and directly through the blood light, once again hit the chest of the person behind him!
Kill two birds with one stone!
After Huo Yuanzhen took out an arrow, the Hui Sword and Hui Niu over there, and the Hui Wu beside him...... also shè shot arrows one after another...... Several more cavalrymen were killed on the spot.
After that, Huo Yuanzhen didn't command again, and the movements of the Shaolin disciples couldn't be so neat, so let their bows and arrows hit freely for a while!
At this moment, the bows and arrows became the Hades who bought people's lives, and those cavalry who rushed out were almost killed, and those sword and shield hands were selectively ignored by the Shaolin disciples.
Anyway, you can't cut me with steel knives, and I'll be finished if I ignore you. ...,
In an instant, the door of Shaolin Temple became a Shura hell, and the screams were earth-shattering...... When each person in the Shaolin Temple fired more than three arrows, the opposing archers made a counterattack.
It was another uniform Qi shè, and Huo Yuanzhen ordered to raise the shield again...... Stop this rain of arrows.
The opposing archers lost their power again, and the uncovered cavalry became live targets again.
Since joining Shaolin, the Shaolin disciples who don't even kill chickens on weekdays can be regarded as having a good time this time, those cavalry are so conspicuous when they sit on their horses, where is there any reason why shè is not right.
Everyone is a sharpshooter, and an arrow can destroy an enemy!
These 500 cavalry were unlucky, and they didn't exert any power when they came out, and they were sniped by those monks for a while, and about 200 people were killed and wounded.
There were also dozens of people piled up in confusion, which was the result of the unfavorable start of the charge.
By now, there were still about 200 cavalry who had not rushed out, but they did not dare to rush anymore.
The cavalry lost their power, and the pikemen rushed up from behind with ladders, ready to attack the courtyard wall of the Shaolin Temple directly.
Finally entered the stage of positional warfare, Huo Yuanzhen waved his hand at the back: "The people behind go up!"
Originally, there were fifty people on the courtyard wall, but Huo Yuanzhen waved his hand, and the reserve team composed of fifty other warrior monks immediately rushed up, preparing to defend the courtyard wall and prevent the enemy from rushing up.
Huo Yuanzhen and Hui Wuzi are condescending on the top of the bell tower and drum tower, firing arrows from a distance, every time the bow is fired, someone will inevitably fall, and the battle has begun to the present, and the shè killing has approached a hundred.
The bell tower and drum tower are not far from the temple gate, but it is undoubtedly unrealistic to put arrows from outside the temple, so these people can only desperately dodge, and their attention is attracted by the arrows that keep coming down from above.
Under the cover of the bows and arrows of Huo Yuanzhen and others, the warrior monks at the courtyard wall actually withstood the attack of the soldiers for a while, forming a short-term stable situation.
Huo Yuanzhen knew that this stability was temporary, and it was absolutely impossible for a hundred warrior monks to hold on for a long time, and he had to immediately make the next plan.
"Three drums!"
The little monk behind him waved the drum hammer and beat the drum three times in a row!
The enemies below all looked at the top with fear, not knowing what kind of famous Shaolin Temple was beating the drum again.
They just looked at this side, but they didn't see that at the road on the side of the bluestone steps that they had abandoned by them, Hui Yi and other eighteen people who had been lurking quietly appeared.
The eighteen Arhats, each armed with double swords, approached quickly while the enemy did not look back, and was still thinking about what the abbot said when he let himself and others lurk here.
"Everything we started to do was to create opportunities for you eighteen, except for the powerful impact of the cavalry, the swords and guns of those ordinary soldiers can't hurt you, remember, you are the eighteen Arhats, you are the king of martial arts, and the poor monk issued you two knives for each person, so that you can kill the enemy the fastest and the most! There is no need to show mercy today......!" ,
