Chapter 62: The Javelin Strikes
Awesome, isn't it? The third update is a 4,000-word chapter, and more than 10,000 words are updated! I don't want this old life! Today, I took a closed shot and insisted on writing! It's not easy! Please collect it, brethren! Don't be sorry for the red ticket! Stay! )
Just now, Ma Monkey and the two leaders blocked the intersection with nearly 100 people, and the original plan was to copy the back road of Xiao Tianjian's gang and block Xiao Tianjian and his party from breaking through, but they didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to go against the trend, not only did they not plan to break through, but gathered their subordinates to suddenly attack Wang Tianlong, and attacked Wang Tianlong's place, and the speed was so fast that they didn't have time to react.
When they saw Xiao Tianjian leading people to attack Wang Tianlong, they realized that they were wrong, and it was a big mistake, so they hurriedly beckoned their subordinates to run towards Wang Tianlong, wanting to attack Xiao Tianjian's group from the flank and support Wang Tianlong to rescue him.
But before they rushed over, the battle here quickly ended, and several of the guys around Wang Tianlong fled like a desperate rout, rushing into their crowd and shouting and screaming, which made the people on Ma Monkey'er's side suddenly panic.
Let's take a look! Wang Tianlong was gone, and the man surnamed Xiao quickly defeated Wang Tianlong, Wang Tianlong's life and death were unknown, which made the Ma Monkey group lose their minds all of a sudden, and they involuntarily stopped their steps.
"The auxiliaries stayed behind to guard the captives! Soldiers! Hurry up! Both! March! Xiao Tianjian beckoned his subordinates to temporarily abandon those prisoners who had been frightened, turned his head, and immediately greeted Wang Tianlong's men who rushed over in the other two groups, and gave the order to walk in unison.
The bamboo whistle sounded again, and after a short period of confusion, Xiao Tianjian's subordinates formed a neat phalanx and greeted the remaining Wang Tianlong's subordinates.
Xiao Tianjian's gang practiced field warfare during this time, don't look at the ability to attack fortifications is not very good, but they are still familiar with the road against this rabble, the power of the javelin just made everyone excited, and the morale naturally rose a lot, so even if there are only about 30 soldiers in the army, when facing more than 100 people on the other side, they are not stunned at all, but there are many less nervous expressions on their faces, and even the injured face did not retreat, insisting on carrying a face of blood, Stand in the middle of the queue and continue to fight together.
For the fierce performance of the people on Xiao Tianjian's side, the rest of the guys who have no leader look at each other one by one, and they don't know whether to rush up and fight Xiao Tianjian's group to the end next, or hurry up and smear the soles of their feet! There was a fierce quarrel between several leaders, some suggested that they should leave quickly, and the province took the end of their plates, and some suggested that they were still quite numerous now, and they should have a fight with the surname Xiao, and encourage others to go up together and drown the group of people surnamed Xiao.
Xiao Tianjian wouldn't give them time to discuss at this time, and as soon as the team was formed, he immediately blew the bamboo whistle, commanded his subordinates, and pushed towards the group of guys.
As soon as they saw the group of people surnamed Xiao start to push towards them again without stopping, these Wang Tianlong's subordinates who had just gotten together panicked, they each had their own subordinates, and no one could control the situation at this time.
Although they don't know what to say, they have naturally accumulated some experience in doing this kind of work for so long, and at least they know that they can't mess up their own positions at this time, otherwise, once they are pursued by the other party, they will lose faster.
So several leaders shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid, we are more than them, shoulder to shoulder!" Kill them and save us from the plate! I won't do you any less! Shoulder to shoulder! ……”
With the fact that their current number of people was two or three times larger than that of Xiao Tianjian's side, some of them thought that they still had the strength to fight, so they gathered their subordinates and made a posture of resistance.
Among them, the happiest one is the horse monkey, this monkey hates Xiao Tianjian the most, and he has to avenge the slap last night, and several of his men are carrying shotguns, he thinks he can still deal with Xiao Tianjian and his group, so he beckoned his subordinates to hurry forward, load the ammunition, and shoot quickly, in his opinion, as long as he knocks over some people on the other side, the other party himself will immediately mess up.
A few of the men with muskets, although frightened, still had to move forward under the continuous kicks and blows of the horses and monkeys, and hurriedly loaded their ammunition one by one, ready to fire.
Xiao Tianjian also knew where his disadvantage was, in the face of the enemy's long-range firepower, they seemed helpless, and he had no other way than to rush over quickly.
The group of people on the opposite side was chaotic, but some people still began to release arrows, one by one arrows swished out of the crowd, and flew towards the people on Xiao Tianjian's side, the sword and shield hand in the front row immediately raised his shield to cover his body, covering these arrows for himself and the people behind, under their cover, except for the occasional arrow or two arrows shot into the crowd behind, they basically blocked most of the arrows with rattan cards, and the spearman behind was only one person hit by the arrow, but after the arrow passed through his cotton jacket, the piercing body was not deep, It could only be regarded as a minor injury, and it was immediately pulled out by the person himself.
Xiao Tianjian quickened the frequency of the whistle, and his subordinates also followed the whistle to speed up their pace, braving the arrows fired by the other party, they quickly approached the opposite people.
"Bang bang bang...... just as the two sides were getting closer and closer, and seeing that there were only about forty paces left between them, the men with muskets were finally reloaded.
There was no one to direct them, and as soon as they were loaded, they each began to fire their guns, and slammed into the opposite direction.
One guy may have been too nervous, and when he was loading, he forgot to pull out the muzzle of the gun, and after a roar, the gun of this guy immediately exploded, and the whole strip flew out with a whoosh, but it didn't fly far before it fell to the ground, and the man who operated the gun immediately threw away the rotten gun with a strange scream with blood on his face, and hit his head on the ground and rolled on the ground.
Frightened, the remaining guys with muskets shrank even more, and in just two days, they blew up two guns, and this musket is really as Yan Chongxi said, with a high explosion rate.
After a few gunshots, a sword and shield man in the front row was immediately shot, screamed and fell to the ground, although he had a rattan card in his hand to cover it, but at such a close distance, the rattan card could block the bow and arrow, but could not block the bullets of the musket, the bullets of the two muskets hit his shield one after another, and his shield debris flew everywhere, after the bullet passed through the rattan card, one hit his arm, and the other was set in his lower abdomen, and even knocked him to the ground.
Another person was also shot, but after the bullet penetrated the shield, it was not strong enough to penetrate the leather armor on his body, but only hit him for a moment, and then exclaimed.
Xiao Tianjian immediately became nervous, the whistle changed a little, he wanted to tell his subordinates to stabilize, but he couldn't stop blowing the whistle, which would make his side even more chaotic, so he could only speed up the frequency of the whistle, let his subordinates speed up the pace and get closer to the other party.
However, Tietou and Yan Chongxi played a very good role at this time, and Tietou yelled: "Steady! Don't mess up with Lao Tzu! Whoever dares to run, Lao Tzu will kill him! ”
Yan Chongxi yelled: "Don't be afraid! Brethren, fear not! That's all there is to them! They don't have time to reload! Keep going! Hurry up and get close to them and you'll be fine! Don't panic......"
With the two of them pressing in front, although several sword and shield men were nervous to the point of wanting to collapse, they finally stabilized their minds in their roars, turned their hearts sideways, and continued to push forward with their shields.
Another spearman with an arrow fell to the ground with a scream, and immediately a pikeman stepped forward to fill his place, and no one was able to take care of the wounded, and everything could only be said after the battle was decided.
The loser is not qualified to save his wounded, only the winning side can clean up the battlefield and collect their wounded, even if it is the first time to go into battle, everyone can understand this truth, so for the sake of these two wounded, they must continue to push forward.
"Javelin ready!" Xiao Tianjian spit out the bamboo whistle in his mouth and shouted loudly, this time in order to see the situation on the other side clearly, and also to boost the morale of the people on his side, he personally stood on the left side of the first row of spearmen with a gun, and when he saw that the two sides were close to a distance of twenty paces, he shouted.
One by one, the pikemen pulled out the pikemen and held them in their right hand, ready to throw.
"First row! Throwing ......" Xiao Tianjian didn't bring a javelin, but he also took out a short axe from his waist, his eyes widened, and then he let out another roar, and then he swung his arm vigorously and threw the short axe towards the happiest guy who jumped on the opposite side.
The horse monkey is jumping in front of the team to let a few musketeers under him reload, usually they rarely train, and they are reluctant to take gunpowder for these people to practice, at this time it is used, these people are panicked, trembling how can not be quickly loaded, plus the two muskets have been blown up in the past two days, the rest of these people are a little stunned, a little afraid to use this thing anymore.
Originally, they also had a tiger squat cannon, this thing is a good guy to deal with the group enemy, a cannon at close range is hundreds of scattered bullets, which can cover a wide area, almost only one shot, can sweep away the front row of Xiao Tianjian's team, but unfortunately because they calculated Xiao Tianjian, in order not to let Xiao Tianjian find out their tricks, they left the tiger squat cannon in Wang Tianlong's place, and they didn't have time to use it at all, and it became Xiao Tianjian's trophy at this time, otherwise, there is this thing, Xiao Tianjian basically had no hope of winning this time.
Seeing that his opponent was getting closer and closer, the horse monkey snatched a musket from one of his men and tried to reload it himself, when he heard a loud roar from the other side.
In a panic, as soon as he looked up, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and a heavy thing was hanging in the wind, so he flew in front of him, he screamed in fright, and wanted to shrink his head to dodge, but he was a little slower, only to feel that his head was violent, and his brain buzzed, and his eyes became red, and he flew out with his back facing the sky, and the last scene in his eyes was a blood-colored sky, and it seemed that even the clouds in the sky had turned red......
When he fell to the ground, the horse monkey could no longer move, his legs twitched suddenly, his arms trembled violently, his brain flowed out of the wound on his head, and the white flowers flowed on the ground, like tofu brains mixed with blood, making people look disgusting.
Almost at the same time, several javelins fell in the crowd in front of them, these people stood very densely, just became the live target of the javelin, almost missed, the javelins were inserted into the people, and even a javelin penetrated a person's body, and then inserted into the body of a person behind, skewering the two people into a meat skewer, and at the same time fell to the ground, staring and screaming.
In the face of such javelins, Wang Tianlong's men had almost no way to resist, and before they could run away, the second round of javelins flew over again, only to hear another popping sound like flesh, and a few more people became victims of javelins.
These people in the front row immediately messed up, one by one lost the guys in their hands, screaming and hugging their heads, some turned around and squeezed into the crowd, some immediately fled to both sides, in short, no one wanted to stay in front of the queue, here in front of the javelin, it was a dead place, no one was afraid of a long life, so they all wanted to escape.
In addition, they are not the same as Xiao Tianjian's gang at all, they have strict discipline, and when they go into battle, they rely on their bravery, they can take advantage of it, and if they can't take advantage of it, they will run away immediately.
The team of more than 100 people, just after two rows of javelins, immediately broke up, and the people behind were still somewhat calm, but the people in front were already in chaos.
"Don't run! Don't run...... Hold it! Come back......" One of the leaders was still screaming and restraining his men from running, trying to stabilize his position.
But Xiao Tianjian had already shouted again at this time: "Put the gun flat, rush!" ”
The iron head in the front row also shouted, and several sword and shield men immediately rushed to the two wings, making room for the pikemen, and the first row of pikemen immediately put the spears flat together, and followed Xiao Tianjian to rush forward.
"Thorn!"
The spearmen in the first row of the "Kill ......" used their strength to feed, holding a four-meter-long spear flat, and stabbed forward, while bursting out a murderous roar from their lungs.
A row of spears crashed into the crowd like rams, sending a bloody glow.
