Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Battle of Self-Defense by the Bodyguards (3)
The new round of attack not only did not achieve anything, but instead left the corpses of several companions, which made the cavalry brigade leader a little angry, especially after the middle-aged steward was killed by Ding Li's secret arrow, the brigade brigade began to be ruthless. After returning a distance of more than two hundred paces with his men, he did not directly charge again, but stopped his mount, recruited one of his team members and several gang commanders to his side, and reworked out a set of plans for the strong attack.
"You guys, if you don't want to die, you'll have to help later!" Similarly, Ding Li in the car wall turned his target to those coachmen while everyone got a breather, although he knew that they might not be able to play much of a role, but at this moment, multiple people have more strength, after all, they are now grasshoppers tied to a body in the car wall, and the only way out is to work together to repel the cavalry outside, or kill them all.
When Ding Li saw that everyone was looking at him in surprise, especially the dazed and frightened faces of those coachmen, he sighed secretly in his heart, but still said out loud what he had just thought: "The enemy will not be so consumed anymore, presumably this time they will definitely reorganize their team to attack, and we will inevitably change our response strategy, otherwise, when the enemy breaks through the car wall in front of us, what is waiting is for the enemy's knife and gun to fall on our necks!" ”
After that, Ding Li just glanced at everyone slightly, and regardless of the different complex expressions on everyone's faces, he spoke again, but this time he said to Li Shan, the head of the big dart: "Li Da Dart, if the enemy attacks, it will naturally be a cavalry charge, and it will be up to Li Da Dart to take our brothers in the dart game as much as possible!" We still have a wall of cars to guard at the moment, plus the spears in the hands of our brothers, it shouldn't be too much of a problem! ”
"At least, at least it won't be broken through by the enemy in an instant!" After a pause, Ding Li opened his mouth to add again, and Li Shan nodded heavily without hesitation when he heard this, and responded solemnly: "Don't worry, none of our brothers in the dart game have a soft egg!" ”
"Good!" Ding Li nodded, and turned to look at Huo Lang, the second master, but his tone was more like discussing with the other party: "The second master, Huo Jialing's brothers must also be skilled, whether they succeed or fail depends on the brothers under the second master!" ”
There is no lack of flattery in this sentence, but Huo Lang is not stupid, it is clear that Ding Li is putting a high hat on him, looking at his own brothers around him, and he did not immediately promise anything to Ding Li, but frowned and responded in a low voice: "At this special moment, brothers don't have to detour when they speak, what do we need to do with Huo Jialing's brothers, just say it directly!" As long as you can, you will never shirk half a point! ”
seems to be a bold answer, but the last sentence has already shown Ding Li that if you want them to be cannon fodder characters such as luring enemies, it is definitely not within Huo Lang's ability.
Ding Li naturally understood what the other party meant, shook his head slightly, and explained with a serious face: "Our car wall is not enough to resist the enemy's strong attack, even if there are brothers in the dart game, they may not be able to block half of the enemy's attack!" Therefore, I want Huo Er's brothers to divide ten cavalry archers to kill from both sides while the enemy is attacking, and detour behind the enemy for a sneak attack, while the remaining brothers need to use bows and crossbows to suppress before the enemy attacks, and then get on the horse to meet the brothers of the dart game at any time! ”
After hearing this, Huo Lang just groaned slightly, and then nodded his head neatly and agreed, Ding Li's arrangement did not deliberately increase the difficulty for him, on the contrary, although the people who gave them Huojialing were arranged to be regarded as things that needed to confront the enemy head-on, but in the current situation, when the enemy arrived, who could avoid a head-on collision with the enemy?
"You guys have to help too!" Seeing that Huo Lang agreed, he turned around to arrange specific matters, Ding Li turned around and beckoned to the two trembling coachmen, knowing that the other party's combat effectiveness was almost zero, Ding Li did not embarrass them, and the task arranged was extremely simple: "It seems that you have not been doing this for a day or two, you should be very skilled in the technique of setting up livestock, right?" Later, all you have to do is put a rope on the animal, whether it is a man or a horse, just be an animal." Remember, set up an animal, and receive a gold leaf as a reward afterwards! ”
Hearing Ding Li's analogy, there was even a faint laughter among the many coachmen, and the fear in everyone's hearts weakened a lot for a while, but with a cowardly voice sounded, everyone's faces reappeared with horror, and they all turned their eyes to Ding Li.
"But, but those people outside are all from the army."
"Humph!" Hearing this, Ding Li snorted coldly, glanced at the person who spoke, and corrected the mistake in the other party's words in a flat tone: "What we will face in a while is not a person in the army, not a person at all, just a group of livestock, in your eyes, those are all cattle, and they are also animals that kill people without blinking!" If you don't trap them, they will kill you with impunity! ”
After that, Ding Li didn't want to waste time on them, so he snorted lightly again and turned to leave, but threw another sentence to those coachmen: "Whether you choose to die or want to live, you can make up your own mind!" ”
As soon as Ding Li left, the coachmen who knew each other exploded, in fact, they didn't need to think about it at all, after their minds calmed down, they were able to judge the current environment, there was no need to discuss it at all, and there was not even any objection, so everyone decided to follow what Ding Li just said, set up livestock.
Of course, all this can be logical, the gold leaf promised by Ding Li still played a great role in promoting, however, Ding Li didn't know whether there were gold leaves in the goods on the carriage, anyway, just now, Ding Li knew that there must be enough interests as a promotion, and those coachmen who live honestly on weekdays can break through the shackles of outdated concepts.
The people inside the car wall quickly received their respective tasks according to Ding Li's arrangement just now, and the twenty or so dart masters distributed eight people in the original gap in the middle of the car wall, led by Scar Wei, who had been injured in the calf just now. And Ding Li and Miao Cuihua guarded the left side with six people, and Li Shan, the big dart head, guarded the right side with six people.
Huo Jialing's people had relatively large casualties before, and now there were less than twenty people left, but Huo Lang still picked out ten horsemen and archers from them, and hid on both sides of the car wall with their mounts in hand, and just waited for an order to push the car wall blocking in front of them, and flew on their horses and rushed out of their own camp.
The rest of the people were left by Huo Lang's side, but each of them stared directly at their respective mounts, their sabers clenched in their hands, and they were ready to fight with the cavalry outside at any time.
"Boom, boom."
The cavalry outside the walls attacked again, this time in three staggered rows, each with about twenty horsemen. When Ding Li looked around, he found that the cavalry bow in the other party's hand had been filled again, especially the first row, which had already pointed the blue eagle feather arrows at the top of his people's heads.
"Boom! Bang Bang ”
With the crisp sound in their ears, everyone seemed to be fiercely tugging their heartstrings, and the whistling sound sounded in their ears again and again, no one dared to come up, some just beads of sweat quickly oozing from their foreheads, and they didn't even dare to blink their eyes at will, staring at the carved arrows that jumped over their heads, and pierced the ground behind them, and the feathers at the tail end swayed back and forth, as if they were protesting against the failure to hit the target.
The people present, whether it was Miao's Dart Bureau or Huojialing, most of them walked in the rivers and lakes and lived a life of licking blood at the tip of a knife, and each of them had already pinned their heads to their waists since they chose their respective careers, ready to die at any time. But what they were about to face at this time made them feel deeply shocked, shocked, and even a little excited that was not easy to show, after all, what they were facing right now was a formally trained cavalry team.
"Whoosh. Whoosh. ”
Since the first row of cavalry entered a distance of a hundred paces from the car wall, they began to fire a non-stop salvo, with the tacit cooperation of the two rows of companions behind them, they gave full play to the usual well-trained training, although their number was small, each round could only send out twenty feathered arrows, but before they were twenty steps away from the car wall, they had maintained a dense rain of arrows over the car wall, so that there was no counterattack in the car wall, even a hidden arrow.
Even after the first row of cavalry entered the distance of twenty paces, Ding Li keenly noticed that the pressure from the feather arrows above his head suddenly decreased a lot, and quickly glanced at the gap between the cracks, and sure enough, as expected, the cavalry in the first row had already hung the cavalry bow on the side of the saddle, and began to change the cavalry spear into his hand one after another, and the bright spear emitted a faint cold light, which made Ding Li feel a tremble.
Despite this, Ding Li, who was leaning back to the carriage, took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and poked the crossbow out of the crack, his nerves were tense and he locked on to the target almost instantly, after a crisp sound of 'boom', Ding Li let go of his hands, and picked up another short crossbow on the edge of the carriage, still in the blink of an eye, and made a crisp sound again.
"Boom!"
"Chirp chirp."
There was a neighing sound of war horses outside the car wall, Ding Li realized that one of the arrows did not hit the target, but even if it hit the war horse, it was enough for the cavalry on horseback to be unlucky, although he was not as unlucky as his companion who was blocked by an arrow just now, but with the sudden madness of the crotch mount, he still could not get rid of the fate of being thrown off the horse, and the iron hooves that followed closely followed continued to rush forward ruthlessly, and the cavalry on horseback turned a blind eye to the robe that fell to the ground in front of him, and rushed straight to the other party's body.
"Bow and arrow counterattack!" Ding Li didn't have time to reload the short crossbow with arrows, turned his solemn face, nodded heavily at Huo Lang at the other end of the car wall, and stopped drinking in a deep voice.
"Put!"
The Huo Jialing brothers, who were ready to be at both ends of the car wall, had already stretched out their bows and arrows and were eager to try, and under Huo Lang's loud shout, ten feathered arrows suddenly rose into the air from both sides, and flanked the enemy who was concentrating their forces on the middle of the car wall.
Outside the car wall, the brigade leader is still swinging the bow in his hand, he will not rush to the front line of this kind of strong attack, he is in the third row he mentally calculates the best distance between the first row of men and the car wall, the five fingers that tighten the bowstring suddenly sounded, and the deep voice was broken.
"Broken!"
