Chapter 7: The Nasty Night
Qi Tie was very satisfied with the efficiency of these people, although the corner towers that were tied together were rough. But as long as you can look out, there is no problem, and Qi Tie, holding on to the temporary bundled wooden ladder, climbed the watchtower.
The bushes were much wider than expected, and as far as the eye could see, they seemed to stretch all the way to the horizon. Occasionally, there are one or two barely tall trees, standing abruptly in the bushes, and there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd.
It must be difficult to get through these bushes, and the road full of thorns is not easy to walk. However, at this time, Qi Tie hoped that the more difficult it would be, the better, at least the bushes would form an obstacle. Do not let the Japanese infantry of the brigade rush over.
Looking back, the sea was full of their own boats, transporting people to shore like ants moving. Gong Along was carrying an iron spear, and the tailor-made full-body plate armor reflected the light in the sunlight. Like an Oscar villain, he stepped off the dinghy with an iron gun in his hand. They were accompanied by the two fierce mastiffs, two of them who were very fond of war, because they had meat to eat whenever there was a war.
Qi Tie is a little strange, where is the Japanese navy that was still extremely brave the day before yesterday? Thanks to this, he still left two warships to swim in the sea to be on guard. The imaginary naval battle did not start, and the warships of the Japanese seemed to have disappeared from this world.
Qi Tie, who was full of suspicion in his heart, took the telescope and looked around, "dang" Qi Tie felt that his head was violently hit. A crossbow bolt actually pierced through the helmet, sticking straight between the head and the helmet.
The sharp tip of the arrow cut through Qi Tie's scalp, and hot blood flowed down at once. Almost at the same time, three or four crossbow arrows each hit Qi Tie's thigh. Back & Shoulders. These crossbow arrows all penetrated the armor, but fortunately, the Yun family's armor was strong. The crossbow arrow was only an inch deep into the flesh, and Qi Tie was immediately shot over on the lookout.
"Enemy attack......" The guards had just shouted out the warning when crossbow arrows were fired from the bushes. The men who were digging the trench suffered heavy casualties, and they had no armor on them. The sound of sharp arrows shooting into flesh came and went.
"Get down! Get down! The guards shouted in unison, and many of them rushed over. Knock down the panicked folks with their bodies.
Qi Tie stood up with difficulty and drew his longbow from behind his back. At this time, he stood on the highest level, and only he had a bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield. Ignoring the pain on his body, he pulled out a wolf tooth and shot at the bushes.
In order to maximize the power of the crossbow arrows, the Japanese infiltrated only a hundred paces away. These soldiers had no armor on them. The wolf's fangs shot out and penetrated through the body. One of the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground screaming. The fangs pierced his chest, sharp arrows piercing his back.
Qi Tie ignored the Japanese soldiers who were still howling on the ground, and continued to shoot at the Japanese soldiers in the bushes one by one. At this time, the Yun family guards, who reacted, also began to take out their bows and arrows and shoot into the bushes. However, because of the angle, their shooting percentage is not high.
The Japanese crossbowmen shot at this undead Xiaoqiang. One crossbow arrow after another was nailed to Qi Tie's body. Some were slid away by the hard armor. Some penetrated their armor and burrowed into the flesh. Almost instantly. Qi Tie became a hedgehog.
"There aren't many of them, rush up and kill them." Qi Tie shot three Japanese soldiers in a row, and shouted urgently on the watchtower.
It was best seen from his point of view. At this time, the number of Japanese soldiers mobilized was not large. There were only about three or five hundred people, and most of them were crossbowmen. Many of the Japanese soldiers have wooden sticks in their hands, and such Japanese soldiers and Yun family guards can fight ten of them each.
The guards received Qi Tie's order, and they all drew their sabers and threw themselves into the bushes. The thorns rattled on the armor, and I really don't know how these soldiers could endure it.
The screams of the Japanese soldiers were constantly heard from the bushes, and the Japanese soldiers with bows, crossbows and clubs were no match for the Yun family guards. The will to fight of these Japanese soldiers was also far inferior to those who besieged Dai Yu and took the boat, and some even knelt on the ground and begged to surrender.
Qi Tie leaned against the watchtower, blood flowing down the cracks in his armor. He felt so dizzy that he wanted to vomit, but he didn't even have the strength to vomit at this time. My throat is so dry that I really want to take a sip of water. The scorching sun overhead seemed to be unacceptably hot.
"Damn, Lao Tzu will never go to the watchtower again. This place is so fucking dangerous. Qi Tie muttered, but the eyelids of his two eyes seemed to have fallen into two lumps of lead. Qi Tie tried hard to open his eyes, but the harder he tried, the heavier his eyelids became.
Eventually, he closed his eyes.
"Qi Ye ......" Before the darkness shrouded, Qi Tie still heard the call of the guards.
The hastily made watchtower was so small that the guards had no choice but to tie Qi Tie with ropes. Descending from the watchtower, blood dripping down his body. Dripped the faces of the guards below, and the guards under the tower untied the arrows tied to Qi Tie's body with tears in their eyes.
At this time, the soldiers were escorted out of the bushes, and the red-eyed guards pounced on them with sabers and screaming.
A puddle of blood continued to burst out, and a series of screams erupted. Pieces of stumps and severed arms kept falling to the ground, after knowing that the last Japanese soldier was also dismantled. The guards gave up, and the severed heads were hung high above the watchtower.
In the evening, three more watchtowers were built. On each watchtower stood two guards armed with bows and crossbows, vigilant of the darkening bushes.
Just as the fiery sun was about to set, Yun Xiao led the fleet to arrive.
"What? Qi Tie was seriously injured? When Yun Xiao heard the news, he immediately went violent, Dai Yu was injured, and now the one who had just been promoted Qi Tie was also injured. This widow is really difficult, and he doesn't have so many homes to fill in.
The dinghy sent Qi Tie onto Yun Xiao's big ship, and at this time the armor on his body had been removed. His face was as pale as a dead man, and his body was covered with sackcloth. His hair was shaved with daggers because of the blood and helmet. The bald head is shaved like a dog's gnaw, which looks a little funny.
"Master Hou, your body is fine. It's just that there are too many injuries on the body, and there are more than 30 places in a rough calculation. It may be that the blood in the body is flowing too much, and it is no longer a hindrance to recuperate for a while. ”
"I got some ginseng and killed a chicken to stew together, and now I can't eat meat and feed him chicken soup. In any case, Benhou let him live. ”
"No!"
"Eagle, you go ashore and watch. Beware of being attacked at night, so that all the brothers who come ashore during the day can sleep. You've slept well during the day, and you've had a hard night today. ”
There are no dragons on the beach now, and there is no leader-level family to support it, and Yun Xiao is a little uneasy. Dai Yu is injured, compared to the little bear goshawk, he can still reassure Yun Xiao.
The sun finally set below sea level, and darkness reigned over the beach. It was another May night, and the bushes below the watchtower were so dark that it was hard to spot anything.
"Fuck it down, you can see something in the dark. If you want to be a target, you still have to give it a damn torch. If you think about it, give it to Lao Tzu. ”
As soon as the goshawk landed on the shore, it scoffed at the guys who lit torches on the watchtower. They can be seen from afar on the sea, let alone on the road. Such an obvious target, if they don't follow in the footsteps of Qi Iron, they will be fated.
When the guards saw the goshawk talking, they didn't dare to contradict it, so they had to climb down one by one.
"Master Hou let you rest, so you don't have to worry about it here. Fetch Gong Aaron for me, I'm going to see his two brutes tonight. It would be nice if Xiaobai was here, and keep those Japanese soldiers to die happily. ”
The goshawk patrolled the defenses on the beach, not to mention that this Qi Tie was really doing things well. The trench was dug with water, and the guards next to him said that there were also sharp stakes inserted in it. There are also some traps dug on the outside of the trench, and if people step on them, their feet will be pierced.
"Qi Ye said, the Japanese people all wear straw sandals. These bamboo and wood drills are very useful, and they are not afraid that they will not be silent when they are pierced. ”
The head of the migrant worker who was in charge of the work nodded and reported to the goshawk.
"This kid's brain is alive." Goshawk saw Qi Tie's various arrangements, and also felt that Yun Xiao was not wrong. This kid named Qi Lie is really a natural billet who fights.
"Lord Eagle, you called me?" Gong Along walked up to the goshawk with an iron spear and saluted the goshawk. Gong Along is big but not stupid, and he has learned Chinese all over the years. At least there is no problem with daily communication.
"Hmmm! You work hard and take these two mastiffs on patrol at night. Remember not to go out of the trench, Qi Tie dug a trap outside. No one knows where the trap is, and you don't know what your own way is. ”
Goshawk kindly reminded Gong Along that if this kid stepped on his own trap. It was fun, but the two beasts had good noses and ears. As long as the Japanese people came, it was definitely difficult to hide the nose and ears of this pair of beasts.
"No, don't worry, Lord Eagle. I don't let a widow touch the trench in custody. ”
Gong Along is very confident in his two mastiffs, except for Xiaobai, who is as fast as lightning. The Yun family's daily inspection is in charge of Gong Along, and he is naturally familiar with guarding Gong Along.
"Don't get out of the trench." The goshawk gave a reluctant admonition, and continued to patrol with the guards.
The most annoying thing is such a moonless night, I really don't know why Hou Ye chose to attack on such a day.
People have an instinctive fear of darkness, and people who are accustomed to light lose their sight. You can get nervous, especially on the battlefield. It's like a monster that will rush out and devour people at any moment.
"It would be nice if it was winter, and my mother's fire would burn this place to the ground." The goshawk looked at the black whirring bushes and said viciously. (To be continued......)
