Volume 1 The Return of the Old Man The One Hundred and Third Episode The crossbow is finished
When he thought of leaving, the last thing he saw when he turned his head was the appearance of Yao Qi and Xu Xiangli now sweeping past among the Turks.
I don't know if they broke through smoothly or if they were injured.
His heart was very heavy, and he was also very afraid, afraid that when he went back, he would see the tragic situation of the fifth beacon being broken and the corpses all over the field.
He had never been so scared.
He got up suddenly, brought down the little beard bed, and hurried to the outside of the fort without hesitation, and the gloomy breath mixed with the earthy smell swept past the sand.
Chen Yanxuan ran over with a sweaty face, and hurriedly whispered: "Shizi, you have ordered good soldiers, a total of one hundred and twenty people." ”
Han Changdu's eyes sank, the corners of his mouth tightened, and he whispered coldly after a while: "Okay, let's go." ”
The gray mist gradually began to dissipate, turning into a thin layer, condensed in mid-air, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a thin cloud or a faint fog.
The sky was half blue and half orange.
Han Changdui was so anxious that the reins were clenched extremely tightly, his hands were strangled with deep marks, and he galloped in the lead, leaving the garrison of Xingxing Gorge far behind.
The silhouette of the fifth beacon gradually became clear, and he saw the swords and swords in the yellow sand in the sky, white and dazzling and sharp.
His heart sank little by little, and he became more and more restless, and galloped like a madman, breaking into a chaotic battle.
It's like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan and bursting open in an instant.
Everything in front of him made him gasp, and his heart jumped in shock.
The fight here is fierce, and it is really shocking.
The pungent smell of burnt paste filled the surroundings, and the blackened bodies were stacked on the ground, most of them were burned beyond recognition, their limbs twisted, and their deaths were horrible.
Jimu looked further ahead, only to see that on the flat ground in front of the fort, there was suddenly a row of deep pits several zhang deep, the edges of the pits were uneven, and a stream of hot gas rose out of the pit, and a large number of oil stars splashed out, making the deep pit muddy.
Outside the pit a row of fences more than a man high was erected, covered with dense thorns and irons, on which hung immobile horses and Turks, and piercing blood flowed all over the ground.
The smell of burnt breath and the smell of blood mixed together, making people dizzy.
Han Changdui stood on his horse, wandering around restlessly for a long time, and found Yao Qi, who was fighting hard, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, even he didn't realize that he was a little worried about this little girl.
He pursed the corners of his lips tightly, and with an expressionless face urged the horse to rush behind her, and with a slap, he picked out the long knife that slashed at her back, and with his backhand he picked the Turk under the horse.
Hearing the movement, Yao Qi turned around in surprise, Qing Lingling's apricot eyes bent slightly, and shouted in surprise: "Childe, you are back." ”
Han Changwan heard the meaning of worry from Yao Qi's voice, and also saw the two big black circles on her face, her face was full of exhaustion, and her heart sank, but she still raised her lips and showed a thin smile, and said lightly: "Yes, I'm back." ”
Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, Han Changdu's voice was unusually gentle, she looked closely, he was still as cold as usual, she felt that she had killed too many people, she was too tired, and she was hallucinating.
She shook her head lightly and smiled tiredly: "Then stop talking nonsense, let's fight." ”
Suddenly, there was a tidal wave of horses' hooves and shouts of killing, which was loud and deafening.
Han Changwan and Yao Qi looked around together, and it turned out that the garrison of Xingxing Gorge had arrived.
Originally, the Turks had already suffered heavy losses under the triple mechanism under the Fifth Beacon, and the 100-odd garrison of Xingxing Gorge rushed in with a strong wind, and immediately stirred up chaos.
The Turks were tired from two battles in a row.
The garrison of Xingxing Gorge came from the strength of their strength, and they did not suffer the slightest damage in terms of physical strength or weapons.
In this way, the situation of the originally precarious Fifth Feng changed in an instant, although it was not a one-sided killing, but it also had enough resistance.
Looking at the current situation, it will not be a problem to resist for a few more hours.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Turks were afraid that if they dragged on for a long time, they would cause some other troubles, so they pushed the crossbow out.
The crossbow was heavy, and the wheels ran over the ground like thunder, and the ground creaked and swayed.
The faces of the garrisons changed suddenly, a tense and chaotic atmosphere permeated, the strings of fear were tightened, and the momentum of escape was about to start.
Yao Qi also subconsciously urged the horse to retreat, trying to retreat to the edge of the crossbow range.
She bit her lower lip fiercely, approached Han Changwan and whispered: "Childe, it's better to take that person with you while in chaos, leave the Fifth Beacon first, and retreat to the Star Gorge." ”
Han Changwan smiled heartily, and raised his chin at those menacing crossbows: "Don't worry, let's see." ”
Yao Qi looked at each other in surprise.
The crossbow that revealed its true face was indeed a behemoth, but the huge arrow comparable to the head of a spear was terrifying.
Yao Qi urged the horse to take a few steps back, she was a little scared.
If you get shot by this thing, you won't have to leave a fist-sized hole in blood, how ugly it is.
She looked up at the Turks, and saw that their faces were also ugly, as if they were even more ugly than her own.
She was stunned, and then she paid attention to the shocking crossbows.
No wonder the Turks' faces were ugly, and the bowstrings of those crossbows were cut off by sharp weapons at some point.
These powerful crossbows suddenly became ornaments, useless ornaments, not good-looking and useless.
She was suddenly ecstatic, her smiling eyebrows and eyes crooked, and she glanced at Han Changdu.
Han Changdui raised his eyebrows and chuckled with a rare smug chuckle.
With a flick of his wrist, his long sword roared, and he smashed the Turkic iron horseman.
Yao Qi pursed his lips, sighed, and waved his sleeves lightly.
Several rays of translucent light shot out from the sleeves, sweeping through the Turks.
Not far away, Zhu Rong and Chen Yanxuan also tried their best to fight hard among the Turks.
The Turks reacted very quickly, saw that the situation was not good, quickly broke away from the battle, did not love the war, and urged the horses to leave, and even the crossbows that had become decorations were abandoned.
The Turks retreated like a tide without warning, and the Fifth Beacon fell silent in an instant.
Everyone was still a little stunned.
Only the disgusting smell of blood and the hideous corpses on the ground reminded everyone of what a terrible battle had just been fought here.
The garrisons began to clean up the battlefield, and the dead bodies all over the ground were gathered together and thrown directly into the deep pit, where they were buried on the spot.
But the crossbows that were thrown down by the Turks must not be let go.
Tinker with it, and maybe it will still work.
At the moment when he saw that the Turks were really urging the horse away, Xu Xiangli was completely relieved.
The crisis of the fifth beacon has been solved.
He limped down from the fort, greeted Zhu Rong and Chen Yanxuan from a distance, and saluted deeply: "Xu Mou thanks the two brothers for their righteous help, only to solve the crisis of the fifth beacon, this great kindness, I will never forget." ”
Zhu Rong jumped off the horse, wiped the blood on his face, and laughed heartily: "Brother Xu, don't be polite to me." ”
Chen Yanxuan also turned over and dismounted, inserted the long sword into the scabbard with his backhand, and smiled gently and humbly: "Officer Xu Shu doesn't have to be polite, you and I are in the same army, and we are already dependent on each other, and it is our duty to support each other." ”
Xu Xiangli smiled, seeing that Han Changwan and his party also led the horse over, he hurriedly asked Zhu Rong and the others to enter the fort first, and then greeted Han Changdui and gave a deep salute: "Brother Han, Xu thank you Brother Han for your help." ”
Han Changdui smiled lightly: "Xu Shuguan doesn't need to be polite, it's just a gesture, it's not enough to worry about." ”
Xu Xiangli smiled heartily, and saluted and thanked Meng Suiqi and the others with a limp in turn.
Meng Suibi and others also hurriedly returned the gift.
Yao Ji raised his eyebrows while returning the salute, with a hint of a playful smile on his face.
This Xu Xiangli's old waist, as well as his injured leg, I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore.
Xu Xiangli seemed to see what Yao Qi was thinking, since he beat Yao Qi and saved him once, he had a close heart to her, and seeing her was like seeing a relative, and he grinned greatly: "Ah Qi, you are laughing at my brother, I'm old, and my waist and legs can't work." ”
Yao Qi was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
Xu Xiangli continued with a hearty smile: "Although Brother Han said that it was a gesture, Xu must be remembered in his heart, and his great kindness must be greatly appreciated." ”
Han Changwan smiled politely: "Xu Shuguan should not be polite to us, although we are not people in the army, but it is the responsibility of men to guard the border and defend the country, and we dare not forget each other, let alone take credit." ”
Yao Qi listened and pouted again.
What kind of guarding the border and defending the country, saying it is so high-sounding, if it weren't for the investigation of the case, he could have spent so much money?
Xu Xiangli looked at Yao Qi and kept pouting, the more he looked at it, the more interesting he felt, and smiled at Yao Qi: "Brother Han, you see, Ah Qi doesn't agree with your words anymore." ”
Yao Qi was stunned, why did he go around to her again.
Han Changdui pursed her lips and chuckled gently: "She has always been like this, the most unruly. ”
Gu Chen approached Yao Qi and whispered: "Look, is he praising you or hurting you?" ”
Yao Qi sighed and simply stopped talking.
Xu Xiangli laughed and said to Han Changdui: "Ah Ji has a cool temperament, Xu likes it very much, if Brother Han doesn't mind, Xu wants to recognize Ah Ji as a sister, I don't know if Brother Han is willing to fulfill it." ”
Han Changdui was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Xu Xiangli was suddenly so close to Yao Qi, his face gradually became a little uneasy, and his heart was inexplicably a little pantothenic.
Meng Suijie saw that something was wrong, held back a smile, hurriedly walked to Han Changdui's side, and whispered a few words in a low voice.
