Chapter 37: Assault
After resisting the first wave of crossbow arrows in Yangjiazhuang, although Heihuzhai killed and injured more than a dozen mountain bandits, the ferocity of the mountain bandits did not subside.
Huang Xiaoshan's eyes flickered with coldness, brandished a giant hammer, and roared angrily: "Rush up to me, you must wash Yangjiazhuang in blood tonight and avenge the dead brothers!" ”
Hearing this, all the mountain bandits raised their cold blades one after another, and rushed forward again with murderous energy.
It's a pity that they didn't take three steps just now, and at this time, the Yang family crossbowmen guarding behind the courtyard wall pulled the trigger again and launched a second round of crossbow fire against the surging thieves.
I saw one arrow after another, shooting like a storm, and soon, dozens of mountain bandits with wooden shields who rushed to the front of the team, they fell halfway.
Although the wooden shields can withstand the arrows, the iron armor on their bodies cannot stop the arrows.
Although the power of the Zhuge Repeater is not as powerful as that of the Little Yellow Crossbow, it still has a certain penetrating power within a short distance of twenty meters.
Accompanied by the strong sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu", a series of crossbow arrows shot out, nailed to their shields, and there were some Yang family crossbowmen with superb crossbow shooting, specially selecting the head and lower body of the thief to shoot.
The powerful crossbow arrows, although they can't completely penetrate the iron armor of the lower half of the thief's body, but the arrows can easily pierce the skin, if left in the past, this small injury can't affect the combat effectiveness of this group of mountain bandits at all.
However, Yang Zheng had already ordered people to smear poison on all the arrows, and once the thief was hit by an arrow, even if it was only a flesh injury, he would quickly lose his combat effectiveness under the infection of the poison.
Sure enough, the first few mountain bandits who were hit by arrows in the thigh, they ran forward less than five meters with their shields, and they began to foam at the mouth and fell to the ground with convulsions.
Seeing this scene, Huang Xiaoshan's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but scold, "A group of insidious and cunning Diao people have used such vicious means, if I, Huang Xiaoshan, don't kill you all tonight, I will be in vain!" ”
"Up, give it to me, if anyone dares to back down, Lao Tzu will cut off his head!"
Under the fury of Huang Xiaoshan, the remaining mountain bandits had to grit their teeth and rush forward against the continuous rain of arrows in front of them.
It's a pity that because the mountain bandits holding shields in front of them hit the ground one after another, this made the main formation of the mountain bandits hiding in the rear completely exposed to the crossbows of the Yang family.
I saw hundreds of Yang family crossbowmen lying behind the courtyard wall, they frantically pulled the strings and released arrows, and in just a few breaths, they had already shot three rounds of crossbow arrows in a row.
Under the endless crossbow attack, the one hundred and fifty elite mountain bandits led by Huang Xiaoshan fell dozens of people, such a tragic situation was something he had not expected before, and he roared angrily and jumped like thunder.
At this time, a bandit leader waved his knife to block the flying arrows, and while turning his head to Huang Xiaoshan, he reminded loudly: "Big boss, those Diao people seem to use repeating crossbows, their crossbows are too fast, and our brothers can't stop them at all!" ”
"Repeater?"
Huang Xiaoshan's face changed, and he hurriedly looked up, only to see the Yang family strong men defending behind the courtyard wall, and the crossbow in their hands was obviously different from what he had seen before.
Seeing this scene, Huang Xiaoshan took a deep breath, and his heart was shocked to the extreme.
What is the origin of these people in Yangjiazhuang, they even have the legendary repeater?
You must know that in today's world, except for the Black Wolf Army of the Great Liao Tianji Mansion and the Southern Han Royal Forest Army, which are equipped with a small number of repeaters, other local armies will not have such elite weapons as repeaters at all.
Nowadays, it is unbelievable that this small Yangjiazhuang on the border of Northern Liao has so many repeaters.
Since the opponent has so many crossbow defenses, if they want to attack tonight, it probably won't work.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoshan immediately made a decision and shouted on the spot: "Everyone listen to the order and retreat fifty steps away!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang Feihu, who was at the back of the team, and the second round of arrow rain of their hundred archers were also prepared, and Huang Xiaoshan quickly retreated to fifty steps away with the help of the arrow rain cover of his own camp on the spot.
Seeing Huang Xiaoshan leading the rest of the men and horses to retreat suddenly, at this time, Yang Zheng frowned and hurriedly ordered everyone to stop shooting.
At this time, Yang Meng said suspiciously: "Big brother, what the hell are those thieves doing?" Why did you suddenly retreat? ”
Yang Zheng pondered: "I guess I'm afraid of our repeater, so let's avoid the edge for the time being." ”
As he was speaking, Zhao Tiequan suddenly jumped over from the other side of the courtyard wall, "Zhuang Master, we don't have many arrows in the crossbow." ”
Yang Zheng frowned, "How much is left?" ”
Zhao Tiequan said: "On my side, there are less than four arrows left on average. ”
Yang Zheng glanced at Yang Meng and ordered, "You go and count and see how many arrows are left on our side?" ”
"Yes, big brother!"
After a while, Yang Meng came to the front again and reported: "There are not many arrows left in the crossbow, it is estimated that everyone can shoot three more rounds at most, but there are still some arrows in the little yellow crossbow, but there are not many of them." ”
Hearing this, Yang Zheng took a deep breath and was secretly a little anxious.
My gang still has no experience in fighting the enemy.
Originally, they didn't have to waste so many arrows at all, but when they saw Huang Xiaoshan leading the men and horses to rush over violently, Zhuang Ding, a group of people from Yangjiazhuang, were frightened one by one.
Under the domination of nervous and fearful emotions, the Yang family's group of crossbowmen didn't know how to use weapons and ammunition rationally at all, and only knew how to shoot indiscriminately outside, and most of the arrows were probably shot in the air, and they didn't show normal combat effectiveness at all.
Otherwise, if everyone's minds were calming down and the hit rate was a little higher when shooting crossbows, it is estimated that more than half of the 150 mountain bandits led by Huang Xiaoshan would have been killed or wounded.
Now Huang Xiaoshan suddenly retreated with his men and horses, and he didn't know what their purpose was next.
Thinking of this, Yang Zheng slowly straightened his waist and looked ahead, only to see the thieves who had retreated into the distance, all of which had disappeared at this moment.
Zhao Tiequan stood beside Yang Zheng, looking at the vast night in front of him, and muttered to himself: "These thieves, what do they want to do?" ”
Yang Meng frowned and said, "It can't really be a retreat, right?" ”
Yang Zheng shook his head, "Although the Black Tiger Village has just damaged some people, it will never really retreat, in my opinion, they must still have a trick to damage." ”
After a while, there was finally movement in the backyard, presumably another raiding force from the Black Tiger Village, fighting with Tao Yunlong and the others guarding the backyard......
