Chapter 271: Bloody Battle Genshan Gate (3)
"Ladies and gentlemen, now we have no way out! Behind them are the innocent people of Hangzhou, and if we run for our lives, not only them, but also ourselves will surely die. Only in a war can you live! Kill! ”
After Lu Zhen saw that the Jinyi guards in front of him were swallowed up by the Japanese army, he said loudly to the officers and soldiers in front of him. After saying these few words, he also picked up the knife and walked to the front of the array, the tip of the knife firmly pointing at the rushing army of Japanese robbers, with a resolute attitude of tens of thousands of people.
Seeing this, Lin Lie, Qinggele and the others also quickly stepped forward, each carrying a knife to guard him. At this time, there is no need to persuade Lu Zhen to hide behind everyone, facing a tenfold enemy, no matter where he stands, it is not safe.
Behind him, an old voice was also shouting: "Fellow villagers, now, we have no way back, to fight side by side with the soldiers, and kill the Japanese invaders!" But after seeing such a situation, Yu Yanzhao also encouraged the people to stand up and resist the Japanese invaders.
However, these people are still timid and afraid, cowering and cowering. Only a few young men with strong blood and strength had the courage to step forward, but instead of standing in the row of swordsmen, they stood with the spearmen behind them.
On the city wall, the soldiers who saw this scene were all gloomy, and after glancing at their superiors, those archers raised their bows and arrows slightly and aimed at the approaching Japanese army.
There is an order from the upper peak, so they naturally can't go out of the city to help fight, but it is always necessary to put a few rounds of arrow rain to reduce the burden on these people in the city. In this regard, the general guarding the city also turned a blind eye, just looked at the battle that was about to break out under the city with a gloomy face, and did not know what kind of thoughts had turned in his heart.
By the time they reached the range of their bows and arrows, the archers had already shot nearly a hundred arrows without any order.
It's just that the coverage of this arrow is limited after all, and they only shot down the dozen or twenty people at the front, but they couldn't even suppress the speed of the Japanese team, and they actually stepped on the body of their companions who fell to the ground and rushed to the front of Lu Jin's array of more than 100 people.
When the archers in the city saw this, their bows, which had already been wound and mounted, could no longer be released. Because if you shoot again at this time, you will probably hurt your robe, and under the mouse taboo, you can only stop, and look at the battle under the city with a worried face.
"Spearman, stab!" Seeing countless hideous faces slaughtering fiercely, Lu Zhen did not hesitate to shout loudly and give the order to attack.
"Huh!" The spearmen standing behind them had also left everything behind them by this time, and only listened to orders. With a force from his wrist, he stabbed the spear out like a poisonous dragon out of a hole.
At the forefront of the line were a dozen or so Japanese warriors, as well as a number of other pirates and bandits. Although these men were rushing, they were also paying attention to the changes in the group of men and horses in front of them, and when a spear suddenly stabbed at them, they all flexibly twisted and swung their hips, or took their knives to block the sudden stab.
But the ordinary Japanese who rushed in front with them didn't have the ability to do this, looking at the spear that suddenly stabbed, they didn't have time to retract their momentum, and in an exclamation, the chest and other places were stabbed into the spear, and the body was suddenly beaten.
And Lu Zhen quickly spoke: "Sword soldier, cut!" As he spoke, the knife in his hand was raised high, and he swung it with all his might, slashing straight at the neck of a widow in front of him who had just been shot, his footsteps stopped, and his face was full of astonishment.
With a pop, the steel knife had slashed into the other party's neck, and in the scream, a stream of blood splashed, and some of it also fell on Lu Jin's head and body. But he didn't care about any of this, he just kicked out, kicked the already dead enemy away, and at the same time drew his knife and shouted again: "Shoot!" ”
Beside him, the dozens of sword soldiers had already killed the Japanese who had been shot, and of course, there were also a few people who had failed because they were facing fierce and flexible Japanese people, and they had to face the counterattack of the Japanese invaders. Fortunately, the spearmen standing behind them were still clever, and they immediately shook their guns and stabbed again, which could be regarded as temporarily forcing away the enemy in front of them.
The spearmen, who had already withdrawn their guns, mechanically stabbed their spears again at the onrushing enemy. However, this time, because the other party had been on guard, more than half of the guns fell in the air, so that a dry sword soldier and the Japanese who were constantly rushing up formed a head-on duel.
At this time, Lu Jin, because several enemies were killing him, could no longer give orders, so he could only fight with his sword. After slashing down another of the would-be robbers who rushed in front of him with a single sword, his steps were so weak that he almost fell to the ground, and at the same time, there were bursts of stabbing pain on his back, making it difficult for his hands to lift up as before.
This time he went out of the city to persuade the people outside to return to Hangzhou, Lu Zhen almost didn't rest, and last night he was running and fighting again, even though his body was far more acquainted with the people of this era, but he couldn't stand it. Especially the knife in his back greatly affected the strength of his arms.
He can sustain it until now, and even kill two Japanese cowards, which is already the limit of what he can do with one breath.
Seeing that Lu Zhen was unsteady on his feet, two Japanese robbers immediately pounced and wanted to kill him. But as soon as he pounced in front of Lu Jin, the two knives were quickly drawn, and the lives of these two would-be robbers who wanted to pick up a bargain were ended in an instant.
Lin Lie and Qinggele had always been by Lu Jin's side, so it was naturally impossible for the enemy to succeed at this time. After killing the enemy, the two immediately glanced at each other, and then each took out a hand and carried Lu Zhen to the back of the queue.
Lu Zhen did not oppose or struggle with their practice of saving themselves from danger temporarily. Just now he stood on the front line of the queue just to boost the morale of the army, but he really didn't take his life seriously. He still wants to keep this life and do more for this great tomorrow.
At this time, the two sides had completely collided together, everyone was red-eyed, and ordinary soldiers would no longer pay attention to whether he was still standing in front of the team. The soldiers were only accustomed to slashing or stabbing at the enemy, and some were constantly being cut down to the ground by the Japanese who were killed in front of them, and the first line of defense composed of sword soldiers was completely disorganized.
However, the spearmen behind him, although they did not have slogan orders, were still stabbing at the front with a bullet, so as to give a certain threat to the constantly incoming Japanese robbers, so that they could not completely let go of their hands and feet, and gave the swords and soldiers in front of them a certain amount of support.
At the back of the team, Xie Jingyuan's face was already pale. He really didn't expect that the team that had been invincible before would be blocked under the city of Hangzhou, and there would be casualties continuously. Tian Wan on the side also looked worried: "Boss Xie, it's not a good idea to attack so strongly, we haven't even touched the gate of Hangzhou City." ”
"Blow the trumpet and order them to divide their troops to attack the two wings of the officers and troops!" Xie Jingyuan had already seen the weakness of the official army's situation, and immediately turned his head and ordered.
The whining of the conch immediately rang out. This made the actions of the robbers who were committing suicide suddenly stunning. After a long time, these guys with extremely low tactical literacy came to their senses, randomly divided into two roads, and then went straight to the sides of the officers and soldiers to outflank them.
And the Japanese who were still fighting with the officials and troops in front suffered hardship. Without the replenishment of follow-up soldiers and horses, they were killed by the officers and soldiers who mustered up courage and were somewhat overwhelmed. Even those Japanese warriors, there were actually several people who were stabbed and slashed to death.
Soon, however, the situation was turned upside down. The Japanese invaders outflanked and killed from the left and right, completely disrupting the means of defense of the officers and troops. Before they could react, more than a dozen people were cut down and knocked to the ground by the Japanese who pounced on them at close range, and then they continued to press forward, completely disrupting the formation of the two columns at once.
Lu Zhen had just taken a breath at this time, and when he saw this game, his face turned three points pale. It seems that he still underestimated these Japanese robbers, and there are capable people among them, at least they are not so confused that they just want to use superior forces to fight to the death with themselves.
Now, the only way to do it is to fight!
Thinking of this, Lu Jin, who was originally sitting on the ground resting, struggled to stand up again, and shouted loudly: "Retreat!" With your back to the city wall, fight with them! ”
It's not like he didn't think of using better tricks, such as forming a circle of teams, so that he could hold out for a while when the forces were far inferior to his opponents. However, these officers and men obviously did not have such a high level of tactical literacy, and it was almost impossible for them to complete such a difficult change of formation when they were already close to collapse, so they could only retreat to the city and borrow one from the city to support them again.
But in this way, the people behind them will be completely exposed to the butcher's knife of the Japanese Bandits. In this regard, Lu Zhen is also very entangled, but when things come to this point, it seems that he can't take care of so much.
But then, Lu Zhen found that he was actually thinking too much. At this time, the official army was completely collapsed, and he couldn't listen to his orders at all, but he just struggled desperately with instinct, and no one took the order to retreat, and he couldn't retreat.
Because the pirates had already been enveloped, even their way back was cut off.
"How could it be ......" Lu Jin's heart tightened for a while, but before this thought was over, a snowy sword light slashed straight towards his face. Lu Zhen hurriedly raised his knife to meet him, but he was only halfway up, and there was a spasm on his back, so that he couldn't exert any more strength.
Seeing that this knife was about to hit Lu Jin, a steel knife suddenly flew diagonally from the side to help him block it. At the same time, two stocky figures had already blocked in front of him - Lin Lie and Qinggele had not been scattered by the attack of the Japanese Invaders, and had remained by Lu Jin's side.
However, in this way, the three of them also became the target of many of the surrounding widows, and attracted more than 20 people to surround and kill them at once.
At the same time, the screams behind him were already loud, and after completely breaking up the officers and soldiers, the Japanese finally raised their knives and killed the innocent people behind them!
