Chapter 24: The Strength of Seven Thousand Cavalry
On the city wall more than three zhang high.
A row of village guards were dressed in cyan iron armor, holding a one-person-high shield, and the Pu knife in his hand had already been unsheathed, and the cold light emitted by the knife was full of folds. There were battlements every two or three feet on the wall, and two or three archers were hiding from each battlement, and some quivers had already been prepared on the ground, which had been replenished in time. The spearman stretched out the spear in his hand out of the wall, and the sharp tip of the spear stuck out of the wall two or three feet, which prevented the Northern Barbarian cavalry under the city from jumping up on horseback. The two-zhang wide city wall is covered with sandalwood and rolling stones. The villagers standing on the inside of the city wall were all ready to try, and when the northern barbarians below attacked the city wall, they smashed the rolling stone sassalwood down.
Lingquan Village is the first village of Yuyang County into Beiping County, built by the mountain, there are two city gates in the east and west, the west gate is built between the two peaks, and behind the east gate is the periphery of the Changbai Mountains and the villages of Qingping Village and Xingping Village such as Wangjia Village. At this time, the Northern Barbarian Attack attacked the west gate near Yuyang County. At this time, the west gate had already been blocked by huge stones, and if you wanted to attack its village, there was only one way to climb the city wall.
Chen Hai and the village chief were standing in a small attic on the city wall. After all, Lingquan Village is only a small village, far from the height of the city wall of Qingping Village, and there is no tall city tower above the gate of Qingping Village. The small attic, which is barely three or four zhang long and wide, has been used as the command post of the village chief and others.
"The western city wall is only two or three miles away, and it can stand seven or eight hundred people up to the sky. There are more than 7,500 village guards above the bone forging period in Lingquan Village, so they might as well stand by under the city wall in batches. And some mortals with great strength, and they will be given to them with stones and rolling logs. Chen Hai's face was calm, and he had the style of a general.
The village chief looked at Chen Xiu and the others beside him, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Fortunately, as soon as Chen Xiu and the others saw the incident in Xiaoxi Village, they immediately went into battle lightly and rushed to report the news, otherwise when these thousands of cavalry raided, our Lingquan Village would also end up in Xiaoxi Village." β
Chen Hai grinned, patted Chen Xiu's shoulder with a smile and said: "Okay, make a decision immediately, those carriages will be lost if they are lost, as long as our Lingquan Village is not lost, everything can be earned." β
Chen Xiudao: "Xiao Feng'er is going to Qingping Village to move rescue troops, Qingping Village is only more than 5,000 miles away from our Lingquan Village. If it only takes a day for the lord of the village to send a few thousand cavalry to come, we will be safe and sound as long as we guard it for one day. β
The village chief stared at the Northern Barbarian cavalry below, and said with a heavy heart: "How many people will die in our Lingquan Village if we guard for one day?"
Chen Hai said abruptly: "How many people die, we must also defend our Lingquan Village." This is the place where we have lived for thousands of years, and we must not let the Northern Barbarians step into half a step!"
He came to the door of the attic and said loudly to the village guards guarding the city: "If you don't want to be like Xiaoxi Village, where your parents and children are killed, and your wife is insulted to death, you must show courage, your head will not be scarred by the size of a bowl, and the cavalry will not be a great deal without horses." β
The village guards, who were originally a little nervous, had red eyes and slapped the weapons in their hands with murderous expressions.
"Kill !!"
"Kill !!"
"Kill !!"
The sound of killing on the city wall shook the sky!
Hundreds of feet outside the city wall.
Seven thousand cavalrymen lined up in a neat queue. The first three of them quietly looked at the top of the city wall. The young man at the head sighed and said, "It's a step late, it's a bit tricky now." β
Behind him stood two large men with broad bodies, one on the left with two thick braids, and the other on the right with small pigtails, both of whom were murderous people with faces.
The one on the left smiled contemptuously: "It's just a small village, and you still want to stop my 7,000 cavalry?"
On the right, the pigtailed man said: "Young master, this city wall is only three zhang high, and our cavalry jumps up as if it were on the ground." β
The young man shook his head and said, "After all, our mount only has the strength of the solid skin period, but it is just barely jumping onto the city wall. If it was like those villages before, jumping on the city wall to attack it unprepared, it would be able to win by surprise, but now this Lingquan Village is ready to take precautions and attack rashly, it is bound to suffer heavy casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses. Mu Xiong, you go and lead 3,000 men and horses to cut down trees and build wooden ladders. β
The braided Northern Barbarians waved their hands and nearly half of them took the order.
The young man said to the remaining Northern Barbarian: "Mu Hu, order the remaining 4,000 men and horses to shoot ten arrows at the top of the city wall, and give them a dismount." β
Mu Hu laughed, "Order!"
He rode up to the front of the group and shouted, "Bow out!"
The four thousand cavalrymen were in unison, untied the longbow on their backs, and with a rhythmic movement, they all mounted a long arrow and drew the bow.
"Put!"
"Hum", four thousand long arrows came to the top of the city wall in an instant with the summoning of death. Most of the arrows are shot at the walls or shields. Some long arrows penetrated the armor of the village guard, bringing out a stream of blood, and the village guard who was hit by the arrow screamed, and the weapon in his hand could not be held, and he fell to the ground with a "choking" sound. There are even some long arrows that pass through the city walls and come to the crowd below the city walls, and death is about to come from the sky, easily taking dozens of lives.
Chen Hai shouted: "The shield guards squat, the shields are raised, the archers and pikemen hide behind the city wall, and the people below should not be too dense and scatter." The wounded drag the dead down and replace them with a lively one!"
Under his shout, the village guards of Lingquan Village moved in an orderly manner, and the upper city wall below was unharmed and the injured changed guards.
Second Arrow!
The third arrow!
Ninth Arrow!
Tenth arrow!
The Northern Barbarian cavalry shot ten arrows, and the village guards on the city wall had all been rotated.
There were thousands of casualties at once, and the faces of the old village chief Chen Hai and others were extremely ugly.
"Come and don't be rude!" Hae Sung-kun unsheathed his longbow, set up an arrow, and shot it at the faintly led young man outside the city wall.
The power of this arrow surpassed that of the strongest archers shot by the Northern Barbarians. If Chen Hai is the strongest shield player in Lingquan Village, and Chen Feng is the strongest swordsman, then Hai Chengkun is the strongest archer in Lingquan Village. He had already comprehended the Tao during the skin-fixing period, and his strength was much stronger than that of the ordinary skin-fixing period. There is a thousand catties of strength in the refining period, and there is a strength of two thousand catties in the skin fixing period, and Hai Chengkun has at least two thousand seven or eight strengths, and the power of this arrow can be imagined.
From the city wall of Hai Chengkun, he shot a bow and an arrow in front of the young man's eyes, and the distance was only instantaneous. The young man smiled, raised his hand and grabbed the arrow that reached the faΓ§ade, and the long arrow that was as fast as a meteor was taken down by him, and a trace of surprise flashed on the young man's face, and he untied the longbow behind his back, and the arrow in his hand was directly on the bow, and shot at Hai Chengkun.
"Get out of the way!" Chen Hai's eyes were quick, and he pushed away the stunned Hai Chengkun, clenched the big shield with both hands, and rushed towards the bow and arrow that was shooting.
"Snorr", the long arrow easily broke through the shield defense, shot a big hole in the heavy shield, passed under Chen Hai's ear, and disappeared.
"Uncle Hai, your ears are bleeding!"
Chen Hai touched his ears, and his hands were covered in blood. His face changed greatly, but a strong wind with a bow and arrow injured himself, and he was in a perfect period of fixing his skin, which shows how strong the leader below is.
Tens of thousands of meters above Lingquan Village on the clouds.
"Which barbarian is this archery kid descended from, but he has such strength in the skin-fixing period?" said the fat man with a fat head and big ears and a sloppy body.
"Township Master Chen, it seems that Lingquan Village is powerless to return to heaven this time. An old man with a sharp beak on the side teased.
The fat man sneered: "My Lingquan Village dares to fight anyway, unlike a dozen or so villages in your Qingfeng Township, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, and not a single hair has been plucked." β
The old man was furious: "I want to see how much you Qingfeng Township will lose." β
"Enough!" the muffled girl sounded, with an unparalleled majesty.
The two arguing faces were shocked, and they hurriedly bowed down. "Meet the Marquis of Gongsun County!"
