Chapter 52: Man and the Beast
"Up!"
Zhou Fugui, the general of the White Tiger Battalion, who was wrapped in iron armor and covered with Silkworm Purple Gold Treasure Armor, held a large shield in his left hand and a heavy and sharp long knife in his right hand, and ordered in a low voice to two hundred warriors such as Dian Meng, Xu Mancang, and Suo Da.
At this moment, a fierce battle was raging up and down the dry gate in Guangling County, but the White Tiger Battalion in the dry gate and the two thousand elite cavalry under the command of Haraba were only feints, attracting most of the attention of the Xia army in the city.
Zhou Fugui's real killer move is this carefully selected two hundred warriors, and the target is the water gate of Guangling County.
The soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, and they will be planning but not brave.
The entrance to the Water Gate is narrow, so what's the use of more people? At the same time, the denser the crowd, the greater the casualties.
Zhou Fugui said, jumped into the shallow water first, stepped on the splash, and quietly touched the water gate of Guangling County.
As the leader of the first battalion, Zhou Fugui, who is the commander of the first battalion, is not desperate, how can his subordinates be willing to die? Therefore, Zhou Fugui ignored the dissuasion and insisted on leading 200 warriors to attack the water gate of Guangling County.
Dian Meng, Xu Mancang, Suo Da and other 200 warriors were all wrapped in heavy armor, and jumped into the water with Zhou Fugui.
The shallow river water "crackled" and splashed countless splashes, no matter how careful Zhou Fugui and other two hundred warriors were, no matter how light they were, they also made a lot of movement, but because of the sound of killing near the dry gate, the movement made by Zhou Fugui and other two hundred warriors here is not too eye-catching.
"Thieves attack the water gate, thieves attack the water gate!"
"Quick, go and report and bring more people over!"
"When! While! While! ”
"Kill me hard, Hugh will let them come close!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
When Zhou Fugui and other 200 warriors touched a distance of about 100 steps from the Water Gate, they were discovered by the Xia army in the city, so the Xia army shouted loudly in panic, and while sounding the gong to warn, he smashed Zhou Fugui and others with bows, crossbows, stones, etc.
"Bow and arrow to return fire, pay attention to dodge the stones, rush up to Lao Tzu, rush up!"
Since it had been discovered by the Xia army, Zhou Fugui did not hide it, raised his shield and raised his sword, shouted loudly, and ordered two hundred warriors to rush to the water gate.
The arrows on the city are like rain, but they pose little threat to the two hundred warriors such as Zhou Fugui who are wrapped in heavy armor, but the stones are different, especially the big stones, smashed down, even if Zhou Fugui is wrapped in ten layers of silkworm purple gold treasure armor, it will be smashed into meat sauce.
So the two hundred warriors of the White Tiger Battalion braved the arrows and stones, while fighting back with bows and crossbows, while holding their shields high and pounced on the water gate, the arrows and stones rained, smashed in the water, splashed countless splashes, smashed on the iron armor, shields, "tom", even if Zhou Fugui and other warriors were wrapped in heavy armor, and there were iron shields to protect the body, several warriors were smashed into the water by the stones, and two warriors were crushed into meatloaf by the falling boulders.
Blood stained the river near the Water Gate, and as soon as Zhou Fugui and the other two hundred warriors of the White Tiger Battalion began to attack, the battle immediately became extremely fierce and tragic.
"Rush forward!" The warriors ran desperately, only more than 20 steps away from the water gate, Zhou Fugui waved the war knife in his hand and pointed at the water gate and shouted: "If you don't enter, you will die, if you enter, you will live, kill!" ”
At such a point, it is really as Zhou Fugui shouted, Jin may be able to survive, and if he retreats at this moment, he will not be killed by arrows, stones, etc., and he will be beheaded by the Yan army.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
All the warriors shouted and shouted, heavy armor on their bodies, although it was difficult to run fast, but they used all their strength, running desperately, everyone knew in their hearts that the faster they ran, the less likely they were to be hit by arrows and stones, and the sooner they attacked the water gate, before the Xia army mobilized a large group of men and horses to come, open the city gate, and let thousands of Yan soldiers outside the city ride into the city, they could survive.
"Camp Master, be careful!"
When the warriors rushed to a distance of five or six steps from the water gate, a black object, with a palpitating "whirring" wind, smashed at Zhou Fugui with his head and face, and the flag general Liu Changshun shouted loudly.
This is a wolf's tooth slap, which fell from mid-air and smashed into Zhou Fugui in front of the water gate.
The so-called wolf tooth slap is made of heavy wood, five feet long and wide, three inches thick, with sharp blades on all sides, and hundreds of wolf tooth iron nails are nailed on the downward side, which can be destroyed immediately when smashed on the knife and gun, and when it is smashed on the person, the person will immediately become a puddle of mud, and the end is extremely fierce.
Even if Zhou Fugui was wrapped in heavy armor and the Silkworm Purple Gold Treasure Armor, he would not be able to stand it, and he would be seriously injured if he did not die.
The wolf tooth slap can also be reused, one hit misses, pull up and hit again.
At this moment, Zhou Fugui's eyes were focused on the water gate, and when he reacted, the wolf's tooth slapped at the top, and it was too late to jump away and dodge.
Zhou Fugui could only look up at the wolf's tooth patter that had reached the top, his head was blank, and he didn't have time to think about anything.
Liu Changshun, who was standing beside Zhou Fugui, roared loudly, and struggled to push Zhou Fugui into the water, desperately turning sideways, trying to avoid the terrifying wolf tooth beat.
"Smack!" With a loud bang, the wolf's teeth smashed into the water, missing Zhou Fugui, but the sharp blade on one side cut through Liu Changshun's helmet and the iron armor on the side of his body.
The blade penetrated the armor, cut open the helmet, and cut Liu Changshun's head in half, Liu Changshun was bleeding from his mouth and nose, his eyes were open, and he fell into a pool of blood, and blood and brains flowed out of the helmet.
"Changshun, Changshun!" Zhou Fugui's eyes widened angrily, and he held Liu Changshun in his arms sadly, desperately trying to close his head, but to no avail.
Although Liu Changshun is Zhou Fugui's fellow countryman, he is not a fellow villager who is particularly good friends with him, but he didn't expect that when his life was at stake, Liu Changshun sacrificed his life to save Zhou Fugui.
Zhou Fugui's mood at the moment was angry, sad, and remorseful, and tears couldn't help but flow.
"Brother Fugui..."Xu Mancang called Zhou Fugui and said.
Zhou Fugui nodded, knowing in his heart that he was not sad at this moment, so he wiped his tears, and after covering Liu Changshun's iron shield on his head, he brandished his war knife and roared loudly: "Ignite the fire!" Kill them all and kill them all. ”
At this moment, Zhou Fugui's eyes were blood-red, which made people shudder.
At this time, the warriors of the White Tiger Battalion had rushed to the water gate of Guangling County, the water gate was filled with sediment, stones, sunken ships, trees, etc. by the Xia army, several warriors carried wooden barrels filled with fire oil, rushed up, and Zhou Fugui and other warriors gathered together, holding high the iron shield, forming an iron shield array, in order to cover the arrows, rolling wood and stones that kept falling overhead.
In the dry season, the water level dropped, and in order to support the sediment and stones, Xia Jun set up many wooden stakes in the water gate, which gave Zhou Fugui the opportunity to ignite and burn the wooden stakes and shipwrecks, and the sediment and stones would collapse, and perhaps a road into the city would be cleared.
The two warriors who carried the oil up were knocked down in front of the water gate, and the rest of the warriors rushed to the water gate and poured the oil everywhere.
"Rocket!" Zhou Fugui didn't wait for the warrior who splashed oil to come back, so he ordered loudly.
Twenty archers lit their arrowheads, bent their bows and arrows, and shot at the water gate, and after lighting the stake and sinking the ship, they fired their rockets at the two-storey, three-bay city gate tower on the water gate.
The fire oil was ignited, and a raging fire was ignited, and the fire soon spread, burning the wooden stakes and sunken ships to a "crackling" sound, and the two-storey three-bay city gatehouse on the water gate also quickly ignited a raging fire, and soon collapsed, and the Xia Jun in the building screamed loudly, and was burned into a burning man, falling from the upper floor.
"It's done? Not! The White Tiger Camp Banner General Pan shouted.
Soon the wrecks and stakes of the water gate were burned down, and the mud, bricks, and stones collapsed with a clatter, revealing the arch, and the wooden door of the arch was also burned, as if a way into the city had been cleared, but the exposed hole was only half a man high, and the width was only enough for two people to pass through.
There was no way, so he had to bite the bullet, so Zhou Fugui jumped up and ordered loudly: "Dian Meng, Suo Da, order the two of you to be the pioneers, climb through the water gate, and die for Lao Tzu to die in the city." ”
When Zhou Fugui said this, he couldn't help but feel heartache when he thought of the tragic death of Liu Changshun and other fellow villagers.
Cruel war, I don't know how many brothers have died?
"The last general obeys!"
After the two fierce generals Dian Meng and Suo Da answered loudly together, they rushed towards the water gate with knives, shields, and axes, and when they arrived at the water gate, they climbed into the mouth of the water gate.
"Mancang, follow me in." Zhou Fugui arranged himself in the second wave.
"Camp master, let's go." Pan saw the ghost and persuaded.
Zhou Fugui shook his head and refused, and then rushed towards the water gate with Xu Mancang.
This kind of siege like drilling a dog's hole, the first few waves must be strong and strong in martial arts, in order to withstand the counterattack of the Xia army, and if you resist for a while, more people will come in to reinforce, and you can't die in the water gate, otherwise you will block the passage that Zhou Fugui and others have finally opened.
"Kill, kill the thief!"
"The thieves have entered the city, kill them quickly!"
Dian Meng and Suoda climbed out of the water gate side by side, and several spears stabbed at them, and Dian Meng and Suoda rolled sideways at the same time, and the spears were nailed to the ground, only inches from their bodies or heads.
"Kill!" Dian screamed, slashed several pairs of feet in front of him with a sword, took advantage of the situation to get up, grabbed the iron shield with one hand, and smashed it hard at several Xia soldiers who rushed over.
The weight of Dian Meng's body and the power of swinging the shield suddenly smashed several Xia soldiers in front of him into a person on his back.
Suoda also got up, and after slashing several Xia soldiers with an axe, he stood back to back with Dian Meng with a shield and axe, resisting the siege of the Xia army together.
A Xia army warrior saw the opportunity and suddenly swung his knife and slashed at Dian Meng's back, but as soon as he raised his knife, a sharp blade slashed obliquely, unloading his right shoulder and head head.
Zhou Fugui and Xu Mancang have already drilled out of the water gate.
"White Tiger Battalion! Deploy the whole army! ”
There are more and more warriors of the White Tiger Battalion who have entered the water gate, and Zhou Fugui held a shield and raised his sword, and shouted loudly.
A raging fire burned near the Water Gate in Guangling County, and the fire reflected half of the sky, and the fire was the signal.
