Chapter 216: The Battle of Black Wind Mountain (13)

"Whoosh!!"

Just when the Southern Navy's assault team was still about one hundred and ten steps away from the wall of the Black Wind Cottage, the bed crossbow behind it launched another attack, and a sharp sound of breaking the air was fleeting, followed by a loud sound of the iron crossbow hitting the wall.

Debris was scattered and dusty, mixed with several screams that rang out one after another, and the iron crossbows that pierced through the earthen walls at the top of the walled wall took the lives of several horse thieves in an instant. A group of horse thieves who had originally stepped forward to prepare for a plot fled to both sides in surprise when they saw this, but several corpses on the wall that were still twitching slightly were extremely conspicuous, and a dangerous aura instantly dispersed, quickly climbing up to the bodies of the surrounding horse thieves, appearing in their constricted pupils, and the look of horror was obvious.

At the same time, the pace of the Southern Navy's assault team under the walled wall also received a special signal from the bed crossbow, and under the leadership of Wang De and the deputy brigade leader and the team leader, they quickly accelerated the speed of their advance, and the slow and orderly pace suddenly became a shield trot.

The team carrying the planks also accelerated the pace of progress, but the difference was the bow and crossbow team walking side by side behind them, the pace was still slow and orderly, but as they approached the wall, they slowly raised the bow and crossbow in their hands, and the edge of the feather arrows and crossbows pointed directly at the upper part of the wall.

Before he could fight back, he shot a few of his subordinates, and Li Guiden was furious, especially after seeing many of his subordinates retreating to the position where the iron crossbows were connected to the iron ladder on the wall, he was even more furious, and yelled at everyone: "What are you still doing in a daze?" If you wait any longer, you won't be able to fucking live! Why don't you fight back yet?! Quick, fight back for Lao Tzu! ”

At the same time of shouting, Li Ghost was also quick-witted, the rhythm of the Southern Navy bed crossbow attack in the distance was really a little slow, looking at this vacancy, Li Ghost was also considered to have no scruples, he dodged the stone wall in front of him, raised the short crossbow in his hand and put it on the battlement made of rammed earth, and aimed at the shield team trotting forward below.

"Bang!"

The crossbow bolt was shot accurately at the shield in the hand of a shield soldier, but it was like a fallen leaf slowly falling into a calm lake, only causing the shield soldier who was shot to move forward slightly, and then resumed his action, more as if he had not been affected by any outside influence at all.

"What the fuck are you doing?" In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was thirty steps closer again, and Ghost Li, who shot an arrow, didn't care about loading the crossbow arrow, and directly picked up the short crossbow and smashed it on the shoulder of the stunned horse thief closest to him, and shouted at the horse thieves again.

Fortunately, Ghost Li's roar this time finally played a role, maybe everyone realized that the current situation was extremely critical, or maybe the blood that had filled the air woke everyone up, Ghost Li was right, it's all at this time, what else do they have to wait for?

Suddenly, two groups of horse thieves rushed forward and crowded at the battlement, stretching their bows and arrows in a hurry, regardless of whether they tightened the bowstring in their hands or not, they directly released the bowstring towards the shield soldiers of the Southern Navy below, and sent down the silver feathered arrows.

Under the chaotic and disorderly arrows, the casualties caused to the Southern Navy are almost negligible, and the feather arrows with no accuracy at all can only cause some disturbances to the advancing Southern Navy, even if there are unfortunate South Navy sergeants who are unfortunate enough to be hit by the arrows, they will be rushed in front of them by their companions behind them in the next second to raise their shields and block them, and then they either get up and continue to move forward with the shield, or they are injured and cannot continue to fight and stay in place and wait for the response.

In the area of the wall above the iron ladder, Li Ghost can be said to have laid down heavy troops, hundreds of horse thieves took turns to shoot batches of feather arrows below, although the effect was little, but they still refused to give up on the continuous, even less than a minute later, after a turn, the horse thieves' daily training is gradually showing results, and it is becoming more and more orderly, basically there will be no situation where several horse thieves are crowded at the same time in a battlement.

But at this moment, after Ghost Li also shot the third arrow with the short crossbow in his hand, he dodged and dodged at the same time as he caught a glimpse of Xu Hong, who was extremely conspicuous on the donkey cart in the distance, and with the two flags waved down in the sun, Ghost Li suddenly felt his legs tremble violently, and his body that staggered back to the stone wall also lost his balance and hit the stone, but all this did not stop Ghost Li from shouting and reminding his horse thieves, and of course it did not prevent another round of bed crossbow salvo from the Southern Navy.

"Bang bang."

"Get out of the way! Dangerous!! Get down! Under Ghost Li's panicked shouts, there were still many horse thieves who didn't realize that death had descended on their heads, and even more had already thrown themselves into the ranks of hasty defensive counterattacks.

It wasn't until the iron crossbow climbed the wall again, exploded in the crowd of horse thieves, and suddenly took the lives of twenty or thirty horse thieves, that the rest of the horse thieves woke up like a dream, and looked at the companions who were busy running around a second ago had completely died, especially when they turned back, they could see that many horse thieves were hit by the fierce iron crossbow and flew into the cottage behind them, almost everyone was stunned at this moment.

The rammed earth wall that he relied on to resist was completely like a thin piece of paper under the impact of the crossbow, which could not only easily penetrate it, but also take the lives of horse thieves who relied on the wall to resist danger.

At this time, the most panicked is undoubtedly Ghost Li, his morale has fallen again and again, if it continues like this, Ghost Li doesn't know if he can still control the situation, then the hearts of the people who have finally gathered together may completely collapse under the salvo of bed crossbows in the South Navy, or just like the wall in front of him, under the ravages of the iron crossbow, it will easily collapse.

"Stones, stones! Block them! "The Southern Navy is still fifty steps away from the wall, but Li Ghost can only give this immature order in desperation, just hoping that the stone attack can weaken the offensive of the Southern Navy's assault team a little, and more importantly, he wants to use it to regain the hearts of the people who are gradually becoming dissipated.

In this situation, even Ghost Li didn't dare to be careless anymore, and Ghost Li, who had not taken the lead for a long time, strode in front of the stones piled up in the corner of the wall, quickly bent down and picked up a piece, and while holding it high above the top, he shouted at the cottage: "Brothers! Smash with me! ”

Ghost Li's move is undoubtedly very correct and wise, and in this current situation, only his desperate resistance regardless of life and death can reconvene the horse thieves around him who have been filled with fear in their hearts, and it is true, when there is no way out, the horse thieves quickly put aside their panic, picked up the stones prepared in advance, and smashed them under the wall one after another.

Stones the size of watermelons are very light in the hands of sturdy horse thieves, but even this is not enough to throw forty or fifty paces away, even if they are condescending, most of them fall to the ground at a distance of twenty or thirty steps from the wall, although they are not enough to directly threaten the shields of the Southern Navy, but the stones that still roll forward after falling to the ground have become a veritable stumbling block.

What's more, such a stone is more than ten catties or even heavier, and in the face of the stones constantly flying down from the walled wall and the stones attacking him on the ground, to a certain extent, it has indeed caused a lot of psychological pressure on the attacking team of the South Navy.

Coupled with the crossbow arrows and feather arrows that flew down from time to time on the wall, the progress of the shield team was suddenly forced to stagnate, and even several shield soldiers were attacked by stones and had to retreat to dodge.

Just a short moment after the stalemate between the two sides, the bed crossbow in the Southern Navy camp that terrified the Black Wind Mountain horse thieves moved again, but this time Ghost Li learned a lot more shrewdly, and did not wait for Xu Hong on the donkey cart to wave the order flag, just saw that the winch on the side of the bed crossbow stopped charging, and quickly dodged to the area of the stone wall, and at the same time shouted loudly to stop everyone, and conveyed the danger signal to everyone's ears at the first time.

With the bloody experience of the past, when faced with the danger brought by the crossbow, almost all horse thieves took their instinct to escape to the extreme, and in the snap of their fingers, they showed their powers, or quickly jumped to the sides to escape from the area on the iron ladder that was about to face death, or fell directly to the ground to avoid the possible shooting of the iron crossbow.

It's just that in the panic, there will always be a few guys who have a bad head or even a short circuit for a while, and after failing to find a suitable escape route under the crowding, they jumped directly up, jumped over the wall and jumped directly into the cottage. There is a layer of wooden plank road under the wall several zhang high, after falling suddenly, even if it fails to directly live, it also resolutely falls to the bone and tendons, and the luck is almost even if it does not die in the end, it also ends up disabled.

With the whistling sound, the iron crossbow followed, knocking over a section of the wall several meters wide, when the dust and smoke were raised, the clods of different sizes were scattered and fell, but among the smoke and dust, there were figures slowly appeared, and a pair of frightened eyes revealed a look of surprise.

Some of the horse thieves who first bowed up to inspect the situation quickly showed joy on their faces, even if there were fist-sized holes left by iron crossbows in the wall next to them, but their bodies were intact at the moment, except for some dust falling on their bodies, the thrilling scene just now had completely become a thing of the past.

Soon the horse thief who reacted went to pat his companion who was still leaning on the ground, although he did not say anything, but gave the other party that bright eyes, which had already explained everything to his companion who was extremely frightened in his heart, the danger had passed, and they were still alive.

Even if it's temporary, it's enough to excite the horse thieves who wander around the edge of the Ghost Gate.
