Chapter 44: Counter-Charge

"The so-called love and non-attack will only exist when the strength is roughly equal. People have knives in their hands, but you don't even have a wooden stick in your hands. Old fisherman, I'm not a good person to kill. It's just that sometimes killing to stop killing is a last resort.

The law of the jungle has never changed, and peace is a fragile balance that is briefly maintained between one imbalance and another. If peace is to be desired, there must be an equal balance of forces, and there must be no imbalance. ”

The old man nodded thoughtfully, the young man in front of him can always say some questions that he can only figure out after racking his brains, I really don't know what kind of demon Wu Yazi is, and he actually taught such a student.

"Well, I don't think there will be any more night raids today. Set aside a sentry for everyone to sleep. ”

Yun Xiao looked at the busy Wu soldiers below, sighed and said.

The soldiers of the Wu army were very efficient, and more than 200 corpses under the military village were pulled by three ox carts after a few trips. A huge temporary crematorium was built inside the barracks opposite, and the bonfire burned all night.

The chirping of birds woke Yun Xiao out of the tent. A red sun is rising. The smell of burnt fur lingers in the air, and a large flock of crows is noisy over the ruins of Zhuangzi, reminding people that this is a battlefield.

Steamed bread, rice porridge, small pickles, everyone's meals are the same, Yun Xiao chewed the dried radish and squeaked. You have to eat a little more today, and you probably won't have time for lunch. After sweeping Zhuangzi, Xiang Sanqiu will inevitably do his best to besiege the military village today. Whether it can withstand it depends on today's battle.

Yan Xian poured porridge to Yun Xiao without saying a word, and looked at Yun Xiao's eyes full of attachment.

Put down the rice bowl and get up to take a look at the wall. Yan Xian grabbed Yun Xiao's sleeve, and regardless of the public, Sakura lips gently kissed Yun Xiao's cheek.

"I'll wait for you."

Yan Xian only said this sentence all morning, and then bit her lip and ran away. It is unlucky for a man to not be able to see a woman's tears when he goes to the battlefield. This is what my mother said.

In the telescope, the campfire in the makeshift crematorium has been extinguished. Many soldiers of the Wu army gathered there, and a few people in the middle jumped and jumped, as if they were holding some kind of ceremony.

A fiery woman attracted Yun Xiao's attention, with a goose-egg face with a delicate and straight nose, a slightly baby fat chin, and a pair of smart but murderous eyes.

Luan Ling, dressed in red, attracted Yun Xiao's attention. I can't help but pay attention, she is wearing a red dress in the entire military village. This is the first time Yun Xiao has seen Luan Ling's women's clothes, but he didn't expect this tomboy to be so beautiful as a woman. Compared to his own goddess, he is not inferior, how did he ignore this calamity-level existence in the first place?

"Knock knock" A series of war drums woke up the clouds that were **. Some of the lieutenants said something at the front of the line, and then the group erupted in thunderous cheers. It's as if the fortress has been breached by them.

In the Han Dynasty, there were also characters such as instructors, and there was such a fool of rhetoric before going to the battlefield. Yun Xiao can think of it with his toes, that is, the old routine of national righteousness and making wishes for officials. In his previous life, he was fooled a lot, and the people who were fooled increased from the teacher to the dean of education to the principal.

There is only one purpose for the flickering, to give up the place for the graduate school entrance examination to a classmate from an ethnic minority who is said to be from the frontier. Fuck off, this kid has a mouthful of Beijing films that is more slippery than Lao Tzu said, ** said that he is from the frontier? I'm really fooling myself.

"Yunhou, Luan Ling is here to serve. Please show Yunhou. ”

Luan Ling walked in front of Yun Xiao and saluted with her hands crossed, and the etiquette was in accordance with the military regulations.

"Uh...... Miss Luan. I really didn't recognize you when you changed your clothes. My subordinates are in charge of long-range shooting, and your subordinates are divided into two parts, one part of which is constantly watering the mound to make it as muddy as possible, and the other part is guarding the wall. Some climbed up, and a halberd stabbed down and pulled down. ”

"No"

Luan Ling gave another military salute, and then beckoned Luan's family soldiers to go.

It seems that the instructor over there has already explained clearly, and the sword and shield men of the brigade rushed to the military village in a neat line.

The three-bow bed crossbow was fired with a roar, and these hapless sword and shield men were choked in less than a thousand paces. Many of the soldiers were nailed to the ground, and some were still strung together in pairs of twos and threes.

Although dozens of people were shot and killed, for a thousand sword and shield men, this loss was still affordable. Still holding useless shields, they howled and rushed towards the Yunxiao army. Behind them were countless archers and halberd soldiers, and it seemed that Xiang Sanqiu was preparing to fight the sea of people tactically, trying to crush Yunxiao's army in one fell swoop.

It was clear that he was wrong, and that he had set the defense factor of the soldiers' armor and shields too much. When the sword and shield men rushed to three hundred paces, the iron-tired crossbow shot like hail. After just two volleys, one or two hundred fell to the ground.

At this rate, Xiang Sanqiu filled himself in and fired forty rounds of volleys. The lives of the sword and shield men in the front row disappeared like flowing water, and those bamboo shields could not withstand the attack of the iron-tired crossbows. The armor on his body became a joke like a piece of paper, and Yun Xiao thought that in front of the iron-tired crossbow, those things were all decorations.

Kankan rushed into a hundred steps, and half of the sword and shield hands of more than a thousand people were lost. The crossbowmen of the Wu army finally rushed to the firing range, and the rain of arrows finally hit the walled city, and began to suppress the crossbowmen on the walled city.

The military fortress could not be moved, and the Huns had to hide behind the battlements, wind up and shoot.

The halberd soldier rushed up with a ladder, erected the ladder and climbed up the dirt mountain. It seems that they have learned the lessons of yesterday and at least done some homework.

There were casualties on the walled city, and some of the Hun men were still injured by the covering shots of the crossbowmen. Without armor as their mortal wound, flying crossbow arrows could easily pierce their leather robes.

Yun Xiao frowned and looked at the Wu soldiers who were climbing up like ants under the walled city, if they went on like this, the walled city would be crushed sooner or later.

"Bulls, sledgehammers, bears. You take a hundred Luan family soldiers to kill, Batu takes your men on horseback, they rush away from the Wu army by the gate of the wall, and you will kill them. Those crossbowmen are your targets, kill them as much as you can. And before the enemy cavalry rushes up, he hears my gong and is about to retreat, understand? ”

"Understood."

Batu said in a gruff voice.

Only a counter-attack can kill those crossbowmen, and it seems that these crossbowmen are only about a thousand people. If you can kill one or two hundred, it is estimated that it will be much easier to fight later.

"Miss Luan, there are only 100 people left for you in the walled city, can you live on it?"

Yun Xiao asked Luan Ling with some worry, whether he could defend the walled wall was the key, if the walled wall was lost, then it would be over.

"Okay, Yunhou can go with confidence."

Yun Xiao almost fainted to death, what do I need to go with confidence, as if Lao Tzu is going to die. It wasn't the time to investigate this girl's inappropriate words, Yun Xiao picked up an iron-tired crossbow and drilled into the arrow tower. Now one more person is one more strength. Even the Zhuang households of the Yan family took the seized weapons and climbed the wall, although they don't know if they are used or not, but it is still possible to make up the number of people to scare and scare people.

The gate of the fortress slowly opened, and the wild bull was the first to rush out.

The soldier of Wu, who just wanted to rush in, was knocked back by the brute bull alone. The crowd had no way to hide, and the double-edged tomahawk wheeled up and flew a piece of flesh and blood. Every time the bull took a step forward, several soldiers of the Wu army would die on the spot. Stepping on blood and stumps, the bull finally broke out of a clearing.

The sledgehammer and the bear then rushed out, a large hammer and a mace. smashed the Wu soldiers on both sides and scurried around. The slower runner collapsed under the mace, and both of them had strength-type blades. The sword and shield bearers in the front row were their ideal meal, and many of them were smashed with their shields. There was even a guy who was smashed by a sledgehammer and flew sideways, knocking down a group of people behind him.

The hundred soldiers of the Luan family who followed behind saw the unparalleled warriors under Yun Hou. They were all enthusiastic, and the scene of the head of the owner of the house being raised yesterday stimulated their nerves. One by one, their eyes were red, and they raised the swords in their hands and rushed towards those Wu soldiers who were already frightened.

Almost instantly, this group of people cleared out the front of the walled gate. Leaving only a mutilated corpse, this guy never considered the hard work of the corpse collection team.

The war drums on the wall of the village sounded, and the rumbling hooves of horses sounded in the military wall. Batu led the Hun men to raise their sabers and came out of the stockade. Regardless of the Wu army's foot soldiers who surrounded them, they quickly rushed towards those crossbowmen who were a hundred and ten paces away. In order to increase their lethality, these crossbowmen were really close to the walled city.

Almost instantly, the captain of the Bow and Crossbow Battalion felt a flash in front of him. A saber slashed at his head, and his hands waved blankly, but his head flew into the air.

Dozens of Hun men are like dozens of tigers. Shouting the Kunlun God, he rushed towards the stunned crossbowmen. The sharp saber slashed horizontally and vertically, and the heads of the people who killed directly were rolling, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered and splashed in all directions. The crossbowmen cried and shouted for their mothers to flee in all directions, but they couldn't outrun on two legs. The person who was caught up was ruthlessly cut in two by the saber.

Xiang Sanqiu looked at Yiqiē in front of him in disbelief, watching his soldiers being slaughtered. He couldn't understand that the people in the walled city, who were besieged by thousands of soldiers, dared to charge back. According to his calculations, there were no more than a few hundred people in the walled city.

"The cavalry rushed forward."

Xiang Sanqiu hurriedly gave an order to his lieutenant.

"No"

As soon as their cavalry mounted their horses, Yun Xiao was already visible through the telescope. Hurriedly ordered the fisherman to ring the gong, and the Huns who were on the rise gave up their chasing goals. And he set his horse and ran towards the walled city.
