Chapter 143: Crushing Momentum
"You ......," he said the word you, and he heard a whoosh, and several crossbow arrows flew towards him.
His companion died in front of his eyes, and the quackman was already on guard, and his body fell downward, narrowly shooting too many crossbow arrows.
He shouted, "Enemy attack! Enemies are coming! ”
As he spoke, he got up from the ground, bent his waist, and turned to run, when a row of runners had climbed to the top of the mountain, and they were holding crossbows in their hands.
People fired crossbow arrows in unison.
Smack, smack, smack! The sound of the crossbow's ejection became one, and in an instant, dozens of crossbow arrows flew out.
The screams of the quackman stopped abruptly, and he fell forward, and then looked at his back, almost a layer of crossbow arrows inserted.
However, his cry also succeeded in waking up the rest of the people on the top of the mountain, and people got up from the ground one after another, picked up their own guys, and looked for prestige.
Only a large number of soldiers wearing Han army uniforms rushed to the top of the mountain.
Lian Zheng and Lian Zixuan, who had already sat up, glanced at each other, and the two stood up, did not rush forward, and then retreated step by step.
Retreating to the back of the crowd, seeing that no one noticed him, the two siblings each took out a strip of red cloth from their arms and tied it around their arms.
At this time, all the people in the rivers and lakes already understood what was going on, took their weapons, and rushed towards the Han army with a roar.
The first group of Han troops to rush to the top of the mountain were all Ben Ming Lang, and people held crossbows and launched a salvo at the rushing Jianghu people.
A repeater is a series of three crossbow arrows, with a fast rate of fire and a short interval, dozens of people, and can shoot hundreds of crossbow arrows in an instant.
The people of the rivers and lakes who rushed up waved their weapons with all their might, parrying arrows, and the sound of clanging was endless, but the people running in front still fell to the ground from time to time.
Ben Minglang's repeater crossbow arrows were shot out, and then, a group of Yu Linlang rushed to the top of the mountain, and people were still holding repeater crossbows, firing a salvo at the rivers and lakes on the opposite side.
In an instant, more than a dozen Jianghu people fell to the ground with arrows, but more Jianghu people rushed up with crossbow arrows.
Seeing this, the runners in the front row drew their swords one after another, broke off their swords, and greeted them.
The two sides came into contact and instantly became a mess.
The Jianghu people are strong in martial arts, and Ben Ming Lang is not given for nothing, the former is skilled, and the latter is crawling out of the pile of dead people.
The fighting styles of the two sides are completely different, but when they fight together, they are extremely tragic.
The people of the rivers and lakes can hurt Ben Ming Lang, but Ben Ming Lang's sword that fights back can also kill them.
During the scuffle, people on both sides fell to the ground covered in blood from time to time.
Liu Xiu did not watch the battle from behind, holding the Chixiao Sword, rushed into the crowd, with a crisp sound, the Chixiao Sword flicked open a ring-headed knife, and then, another sword swept away, tearing the necks of the Jianghu people on the opposite side.
As soon as he killed a Jianghu person, he heard a swish beside him, and Liu Zhang rushed in front of him with a halberd in hand.
Seeing a Jianghu person, Liu Zhang snorted, picked up the halberd, and slashed Huashan's downward slash.
The Jianghu man hurriedly parried with his sword.
When! This halberd smashed the opponent's saber and bent it, and the Jianghu man took a few steps back and sat on the ground.
Liu Zhang's successive halberds stabbed directly into the opponent's chest, and the tips of the halberds poked out behind him.
Liu Zhang snorted, picked up the corpse of this Jianghu man with a halberd, and threw it into the crowd in front of him.
Whoa! A Ben Ming Lang and two Jianghu people were smashed to the ground together.
Before the Ben Lang could get up, Liu Zhang had already swept past him, and the halberd swept out, drawing an arc of electric light in the air.
The two Jianghu people who had just gotten up couldn't dodge, and the clothes on their chests were cut open by the sharp edge of the war halberd, and blood immediately splattered out.
The two of them snorted, their faces turned pale, and they staggered back.
Liu Zhang still wanted to continue to pursue the enemy, and when he heard that the evil wind on his side was not good, he waved his halberd to the side, and when he was long, a chain hammer that smashed over flew out.
Two Jianghu people with swords in hand rushed to Liu Zhang's approach again, and their swords came out together, stabbing him in the neck.
Before Liu Zhang could parry, he suddenly felt a tightness in the back of his neck, and the whole person flew backwards.
was thrown out by Liu Xiu by the collar of his back coat.
Pulling Liu Zhang away, Liu Xiu waved the Chixiao Sword, dangdang, the two swords that were stabbed were bounced away together, Liu Xiu did not retreat, he stepped forward, his shoulder hit an enemy, and the Chixiao Sword attacked another enemy.
The two Jianghu people both retreated, Liu Xiu stepped forward, continued to draw his sword, and the chain that flew over hit the Chixiao Sword, and then, the chain of the chain hammer wrapped the Chixiao Sword several times.
The Jianghu people who used the chain hammer shouted: "Let go!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled back the chain with all his might, trying to tear off Liu Xiu's Chixiao Sword.
Liu Xiu clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, roared, and swung the Chixiao Sword outward.
Click, click, the chain that had been wrapped several times was shortened in response.
The Jianghu man was shocked and turned to run, but Liu Xiu almost jumped over, stabbing the other party in the back of the heart with a sword.
Liu Zhang, who was torn apart by Liu Xiu before, carried the halberd and fought back, the halberd was opened, the tiger was vigorous, buzzing, and within three meters around, it almost became a vacuum.
In fact, Liu Zhang's martial arts are really good, even if they can't compare to his father, but they are better than ordinary generals.
Looking closely, Liu Xiu was also very relieved to see that his nephew had the courage of his eldest brother.
He no longer protected Liu Zhang behind him, but roamed around Liu Zhang, killing the enemy while also giving Liu Zhang some protection.
The Jianghu people who were caught off guard had a lot of casualties, and in just such a short time, no less than forty people fell, but the martial arts of these people were really average, and the rest of the Jianghu people were stronger than one another.
Three big men with double axes rushed forward, followed by more than a dozen Jianghu people to break out.
These three big men are really like meat grinders in the Han army, and their double axes are like snowflakes, whether they are running for their lives or in the feather forest, as long as they rush up, they are all swept to the ground by the axes.
Seeing that this group of Jianghu people was unstoppable, and wanted to open a bloody path in their own crowd, Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei greeted them together.
Jingle Bell! In a series of iron collisions, clusters of sparks appeared at the scene.
The three big men with double axes forced the three of them to retreat again and again with brute force.
The three of them had just stabilized their bodies and were about to step forward to fight back, when more than a dozen hidden arrows and darts flew from behind the three big men.
The three of them continued to draw their swords, ding ding ding, and when they blocked the other party's hidden weapon, the three big men had regained their strength, stepped forward with axes, and continued to attack.
The three of them relied on their brute strength to attack fiercely, but it was difficult to last for a long time, but the hidden weapons shot by the Jianghu people behind them made up for this shortcoming, and from time to time they created a gap for the three of them to recover their strength.
Seeing this, the three of them were unwilling to fight with them, and while avoiding left and right, they shouted loudly to the surrounding Ben Ming and Yu Lin: "Get out of the way!" ”
When people heard this, they dodged left and right, and in this way, a passage was immediately vacated, and this group of people from the rivers and lakes would miss this good opportunity and rushed out along this passage.
Breaking out of the encirclement, the people did not delay for a moment, and immediately ran down the mountain.
More than a dozen Jianghu people thought that they had escaped and escaped, but after running to the foot of the mountain, they were greeted by a dense Han military formation.
One of the Han generals led by him was Geng Yi, the general of Jianwei.
Seeing that there were really fish that had slipped through the net and ran down the mountain, Geng Yi drew his sword, swung it forward, and shouted loudly: "Release the arrows-" Buzz - With Geng Yi's order, a large array of arrows rose from the Han army's camp, pierced the night sky, and roared towards the dozen or so Jianghu people.
The three axe-wielding men subconsciously let out a roar, used all their strength, and waved the double axes in their hands.
The rest of the Jianghu people did their best to hide behind them, using their weapons to shoot arrows.
When, when, when! Poof, poof, poof! In front of the arrow array, what kind of superb martial arts seem so insignificant.
Although the three big men blocked countless arrows, after the arrow array, looking at them again, there were no less than ten arrows stuck in their bodies, arms, and legs.
And that's just the first round of arrows.
Soon, the second round of arrows arrived.
Buzz - dense raindrops of arrows fell from the air, and the three big men roared and ran forward, wielding their axes and striking arrows as they ran.
But it was useless, they could block ten arrows, a hundred arrows, but not thousands.
This second round of arrows passed, and looking at these three again, they all turned into hedgehogs in an instant.
All over their bodies, they were full of arrows, and when they looked at them, it looked as if a layer of black grass had grown out of their fronts.
Seeing the tragic death of three companions under the arrow array of the Han army, more than a dozen Jianghu people behind were shocked and frightened.
"Rush over and stay here, there is only one way to die!"
Someone in the crowd roared, and people woke up like a dream and rushed forward.
The third round of arrows flew in, and more than a dozen Jianghu people, waving the weapons in their hands, blocked with all their might, but this round of arrows smashed down, and no one could stand on the scene, and a layer of arrows was inserted on the ground, covering up people's corpses.
This is the fate of escaping down the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, the people of the rivers and lakes still have the strength to fight, after all, the number of the Han army is not large, and running down the mountain, it is really a foot into the ghost gate.
At the foot of the mountain, waiting for them was tens of thousands of Han troops, even if they were swordsman-level masters, they were powerless to fight back under the array of thousands of arrows.
The battle on the top of the mountain continued, and there were more and more people from the rivers and lakes running down the mountain, but without exception, no one could escape the blockade of the Han army, and they were greeted by round after round of arrow formations.
Seeing that there were no more people rushing down from the mountains and lakes, Geng Yi waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Go up the mountain!" ”
Under his command, the soldiers of the Han army took up their bows and arrows and climbed up the mountain.
When the Han army under the mountain climbed to the top of the mountain, the battle here was still in the white-hot stage, and the five hundred elites led by Liu Xiu and dozens of Jianghu people were fighting to the death.
Ascending to the top of the mountain, the Han soldiers immediately re-arrayed, and then marched forward in unison.
Seeing that his main force had reached the top of the mountain, Liu Xiu immediately made a decision and shouted: "Withdraw!" ”
Yulin and Ben Di, led by Liu Xiu, ran towards their own camp one after another, and the soldiers in front of them turned sideways one after another to get out of the way.
The people ran along the passage and immediately disappeared into the camp of the Han army.
The Jianghu people behind them also took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, but they were greeted by a shield array and a forest-like spear, as well as a raindrop of crossbow arrows.
Rushing into the army formation, even if it is steel and iron, it can't be parried.
With the sound of popping, one after another the Jianghu people were picked up by the spears and knocked to the ground.
Regardless of whether it was the corpse or the wounded who fell in front of them, the speed of the phalanx's advance did not slow, and it was ruthlessly crushed over them.
In front of the Han army, the strength of the two sides was completely unbalanced, and the battle could not be fought at all.
The Jianghu people who were forced by the Han army to have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, still wanted to fight hard, and several Jianghu people held swords, rushed forward, and slashed forward desperately.
They couldn't cut through the heavy shields in the front row of the phalanx, and their swords slashed at the heavy shields, clanging, but they only left scratches one after another.
Spears and halberds that could be pierced from behind the shield could easily penetrate their bodies.
This is no longer a battle, but a crush.
