Chapter 19: The Rise and Fall of the Nation: The Blacksmith Couple
Before the three of them could get it done, they heard the sound of the battle below, and one of them said: "This thing is too heavy, we really can't move it, so it's better to go down and help General Su." ”
But one of them said with a straight face: "Now it's just some qi refiners, General Su, they should still be able to resist, if the brigade of soldiers attacks after a while, it will be very difficult to resist." I think I'll find a way to move it down here, and it will come in handy when the time comes. If the situation is really critical, I will have time to go down later, but if it really can't, I will explain to General Su on the Huangquan Road. ”
When the three of them thought about it, they also felt that it made sense, so they never showed up again, trying to move the huge puppet, and finally solved the urgent need at the moment of crisis.
Su Qingyun's face turned pale, and when he heard the man say this, he still said to the middle-level qi refiner: "Brother Zhang did the right thing, this time it is thanks to you, otherwise we really don't know what to do now." ”
The man said, "Thank you for forgiving me for being late, there is good news below." ”
Su Qingyun asked, "What's the good news?"
The man said: "When my subordinates turned back to get their quivers, they saw that the water level in the embankment had dropped, and a hole was faintly exposed. Now that the water in the dark river has been drained, this dark river course must be our escape route. ”
Su Qingyun was overjoyed when he heard this, he did know about the dark river, but in a blink of an eye, he was now seriously injured, if he wanted to escape, he would have to involve other brothers, and the mine still needed to be irrigated.
Su Qingyun thought to himself, so he said to the man: "I am seriously injured now, and I have to hold on here for a while, and after a while, Brother Zhang can lead people to retreat, and I will stay here to cover you." ”
The man immediately fell to one knee on the ground and replied, "The general must not say that, if the general does not leave, how can we abandon the general?"
Another high-level Qi Refiner also knelt on the ground and said, "Swear to follow the general to the death!"
Su Qingyun sighed in his heart, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal them to get up, and said, "How can Su have such a good brother." When the water is almost at this point, I'll withdraw from the dark river. ”
Lin Wen heard it on the sidelines, and was also overjoyed to learn that there was really a way to live, but now that the mana consumption is huge, he still needs to take a good rest, just escape before the four huge puppets move here, but he can't make any more moves during this time. With a certain thought, Lin Wen sat down and closed his eyes and breathed.
Seeing that he had lost fifty or sixty men, and that the other party had added another puppet, the lieutenant was also very anxious, so he divided the shield bearers into two teams, one team to protect near him, using machine spring concealers and bows and arrows to suppress the opponent, and the other team to protect a few long men, several pikemen and several archers, carrying machine spring concealed weapons step by step, focusing on destroying the dam.
This trick really worked, although the puppet's side was like arrows like flying locusts, but the other party was under the protection of the shield, the lethality was limited; Lin Wen was reluctant to make any more moves, and it was indeed a lack of mana; the two high-level qi refiners fought hard in the middle of the night, and they were already exhausted; the three middle-level qi refiners desperately brought the puppet, and they were also so tired that they lost their strength, and they rushed out to kill by the opponent's hidden weapon. The feather arrows were shot back, and the soldiers were even more unbearable, just insisting there with a mortal heart, and they could only keep filling the gap on the edge of the gap, comparing the speed with the other party's destruction, and preventing the opponent's hidden weapons and feather arrows, but the speed of filling was far from faster than the destruction; even Kong Rui and Su Yun, two children, were also on the side to help fill the gap.
Suddenly, another soldier was hit by an arrow in the neck and fell to the ground in pain, and Su Qingyun was trying to step forward to help the seriously injured soldier.
I didn't want the badly wounded soldier to stand up, staggered two steps, threw myself into the gap, and never moved again.
Seeing this situation, Su Qingyun's chest was full of pride, and he wanted to use the qi in his body to prepare for the final blow.
Suddenly, there was chaos in the rear of the lieutenant.
In the firelight, I saw a man wearing a quilt, pushing a cart, and rushing up, and a strange iron object was set up on the cart; behind the artifact stood a man, also wearing a quilt, manipulating the artifact, and every time he moved, a beaded iron cone flew out of the artifact, whistling and flying towards the soldiers.
Both of them were covered in quilts, and their faces could not be seen clearly, but they were both calm and resolute, and they kept firing their reeds and shooting the sinister soldiers.
The shields of those stinging soldiers were all defending in the direction of the puppets, but it was useless to attack from the rear, and there were many dead and wounded when they landed, and some of the shield soldiers were shot dead in the panic, and some hurriedly turned back to defend, making a mess.
When the Qi Refiner who manipulated the puppet saw the chaos there, he also manipulated the puppet to shoot at that side, and under the siege of the front and back, another forty or fifty Qitan soldiers were shot to death.
Su Qingyun looked from afar, and did not see clearly the appearance of the person who came to help, and was in a strange situation, when he suddenly saw that the two people did not shoot out of the iron cone, presumably the sleeve was used up, he was feeling regretful, and the feather arrows shot from the direction of the puppet also stopped, and he hurriedly looked sideways, the three people guarding the puppet were retreating under the cover of the shield, and Su Qingyun knew that the feather arrows on the puppet had also been used up.
Su Qingyun thought about it for a while, and then ordered the five qi refiners under his command to take advantage of the chaos to go out and kill for a while, and see if they could take care of those two people.
Although the five people were exhausted, they all said "obey" and killed immediately.
Lin Wen was beside him, but he didn't move, and Su Qingyun didn't mind, after all, Lin Wen was not his subordinate, so he couldn't order him.
The lieutenant was already in the crowd, naturally not injured, and was about to order the soldiers to defend themselves, but the feathered arrows and iron cones on both sides stopped, and he knew that there were no feathered arrows and sleeves. Seeing that five more people from the other side rushed out, he loudly ordered the soldiers who broke the dam to stop the opponent, so that he could deal with the two who had just arrived.
The two who just arrived were the blacksmiths and their husbands. It turned out that they probably knew that Su Qingyun had a big plan to implement, and they also hated the scheming people, and they felt sorry for their children, hoping to be taken out by Su Qingyun or Lin Wen, so they wanted to be able to help them.
But the blacksmith couple didn't have the ability to fight, and they were in a hurry, so Lin Wen asked him to build those machine spring hidden weapons, so he wanted to use them to help him. It just so happened that the people gave him a batch of the best pig iron and asked him to make the parts on the machine spring, so he replaced the high-grade pig iron with the ordinary pig iron he saved and made the spring out of the high-quality pig iron.
The quality of pig iron is much better, and the blacksmith can actually make qualified machine springs by quenching with water, and the blacksmith has privately made more than 100 sleeves, and according to the previous experience of making those machine spring hidden instruments, he has created a machine spring hidden device on an iron frame, and let Kong practice the operation, which can be used to kill the enemy at that time.
That night, the blacksmith and his wife knew that Lin Wen and Su Qingyun were both at the entrance of the mine, so they also pushed the cart and rushed to the entrance of the mine with a machine spring concealer, but fortunately they were not harassed by the soldiers on the road, and the blacksmith couple still moved forward smoothly, but the road was muddy and walked very slowly, but fortunately, they arrived at the most critical time for Su Qingyun and them. The quilt was originally covered with a hidden machine spring, but when he saw that he wanted to defend against the enemy, he draped the soaked quilt on his body, which was regarded as strengthening the defense.
Seeing that the sleeve in the machine spring concealer had been launched, Kong was about to take out the kitchen knife that was put aside, when he was thrown off the cart by a Qijian soldier.
The soldier was about to use Ge to pick open the quilt on Kong's body, when he saw a sledgehammer next to him, and the soldier was caught off guard, and his brain burst and he fell to the ground and died. It was the blacksmith Kong who lifted the quilt on his body and picked up a sledgehammer to rescue him.
When the blacksmith had just withdrawn the sledgehammer and was about to smash it at another soldier, four or five spears stabbed him in the chest and abdomen at the same time, the blacksmith spat blood from his mouth, and the sledgehammer also fell to the ground, but his body stood straight and did not fall, with a strip of cloth wrapped around his head, and the words "Great Yan Country" were written impressively!
The spear was drawn, and the blacksmith's body fell backwards with a thud.
The quilt on Kong's body had been lifted, and when he saw that his husband had been killed, he struggled to get up and fell on him, allowing all kinds of stinging blades to come to him...... When the blade fell, a strip of cloth was also wrapped around the head that was occasionally raised, and the words "Great Yan Country" were also written!
