Chapter 168: Nine and a Half Miles
When the unexpected raid began, the first wave of arrows that could not be separated from the enemy caused the greatest damage. Dumb saw the chaos he wanted and the hits that were beyond his imagination. Not surprisingly, this group of Peimen disciples who neglected the drill seemed to be disorganized, and they panicked and threw away their armor .......
However, when people encounter danger, they will subconsciously look for cover, or use everything they can catch to block their heads. So those with cars and shields became the first choice.
When these things tinkle, the crowd gathers around it and tries to push them to the front.
When a few lonely figures were shot down, the crowd completely centered on the car and gathered into dozens of piles.
And as these dozens of people gradually close, those occlusions become more and more effective. Until later, such piles were like parts of some giant mechanism, closing one by one and arranging more closely together.
Until this point, it was already difficult for anyone to fall again.
Once the combination of these parts is over, the queue that was forced to come to a standstill is closed intact and it starts moving again.
When the cold arrows kept shooting from the alleys and buildings on the side of the street, the disciples of the Pei Sect were already unslow under the cover of the car array. Those exposed parts also began to be hidden more deeply.
The shields they carried this time were very adequate. At this moment, these pure gold creatures wrapped in leather are being lifted above their heads in turn. It's like putting a cellar lid on your head, and the short spears that shoot are starting to lose their damage.
After the initial panic, the men, armed to the teeth, finally tightened their weapons. Finally, a rectangular array was formed, more precisely, a formation that would constantly retract and adjust its movements.
So, on the nine-and-a-half-mile journey, in order to keep the queue in order, they kept finding holes and filling in the holes that blocked them. It's a queue that devours arrows and spears, and spits out something.
Spit out a mess, like someone's corpse and injured someone, or some ownerless weapon. When these messes are spit out, the queue will be seamless, more harmonious and perfect.
He Wen was very satisfied, he did not send a single soldier to pursue. No matter who those guys who cast cold arrows and threw short spears, even if they were really from Luancheng, he chose to turn a blind eye.
This kind of coldness that treats human life like a mustard is exactly what a military formation should look like.
And this queue surrounded by a car and covered with a shield in the middle has really become a monster with full armor. More precisely, it is a fortress wrapped in leather and adamantite gold, and it also moves.
Underneath it, the steps became more and more uniform, and even the chaotic hooves began to merge into neatness.
If nothing had stopped this behemoth, it would have approached the end of the street so unhurriedly.
It is the lifeline of the people of the plateau, and their wives and children are there, and those who remain before the great array are lambs to the slaughter.
Therefore, once the highlanders have consumed the last arrows, they will jump out desperately. These brave men tried to stab the phalanx with the weapons in their hands, pry open a crack, or disrupt the pace.
They completely ignored the crossbow machines that peeked out of the cracks, and the honeycombs with black holes in the car.
When these people get closer to five paces away, they will hear the crisp movement of the crossbow machine. When they gathered some of their hands and raised their spears and halberds, they would hear a boom. A swarm of glowing bees will fly out of the honeycomb and pin them to the wall or the ground.
This moving fortress is getting closer and closer to the big formation, and it has an indomitable momentum, as if it is completely unstoppable....
And one by one, the highlanders bravely rushed out of their hiding places and fell at its feet. Even if they were to glow with steel and iron and finally pounce on it, they would be pierced by the sudden revelation of thorns in the cracks, and then they would fall to .......
The onlookers were speechless, and what they saw was no longer a performance, but just a cold killing. It's like a herd of grasshoppers attacking an elephant, like a moth pounced on a campfire, which seems meaningless and uninteresting.
And those figures who knew that they were still moving forward were dead, but they were moved, or simply lowered their eyes. Those curious children were so tightened that they couldn't even poke their heads out. This cold world also disappeared into the warm embrace of relatives.
However, this world is still cold and terrible, and no matter how warm the embrace is, there will be a day when it will be freed...
Dumb felt powerless and helpless, because he couldn't stop calling these men. His voice was torn and unusually hoarse. This senseless sacrifice is also a manifestation of a lack of drills, a group of people who are even more unorganized. However, they have exerted their personal bravery to the extreme, leaving only a deeper sigh.
If these bravery can be unanimous, if these fearlessness is coupled with a little wisdom...... Unfortunately, there are no ifs anymore.
Nine and a half miles away, the lively street should be renamed, and the front is still empty, and behind it are two rows of fallen corpses. It is like a field ridge after harvest, where sheaves of wheat are thrown haphazardly on both sides of the field, but some of the ears of wheat still grow on the ground or ...... the wall.
Nine and a half miles away, no one has appeared for a long time.
Dumb was surrounded by a few dozen figures, and the only one that could be regarded as a barrier was the Wei family's car, which stood in the middle of the road with them, but still seemed lonely. Even the four golden-eyed gazelles had already been removed from their nooses and fled for their lives.
This is the last line of defense and the punishment of impulsiveness. He, the leader who had been inadvertently pushed in front of people, had already shouted out of his throat and could no longer make any sound.
The military regulations that were forbidden had been sealed in his memory for many years. Nowadays, no one listens to him at a critical moment, and almost no one can hear him now.
The people who can stay by his side may be wise people in the eyes of plateau people, or cowards, cowards and the like.
In front of thousands of Luancheng people, these wise men worked together to knock down the car, some of the pots and jars shattered, and some liquid flowed out. Just like any car overturned.......
He Wen saw this so-called line of defense, which was worse than a dirt slope in his eyes. The lonely car and the few figures around it, just like the toll checkpoints erected by the Peimen in the past, seemed arrogant and arrogant. But what's the use of that?
The sharp blades of the eight hundred Pei Sect disciples would chop up this handful of people in an instant. Not to mention the crash car full of fangs and sharp horns, and hundreds or thousands of honeycomb box crossbows, this is not even a dish.
That's it! Let us perfect this lowly crowd and give them the last bit of glory
