Tang Dynasty

Chapter 33: Sudden chaos

Views:

In Shixiang Town, the storage yard where the sentry food team was temporarily stationed was once again filled with a strong smell of fireworks and blood.

Among the specially opened corners, the blood on more than a dozen corpses that were hurriedly covered has solidified, and there are more than twice as many lying on the carrier made of temporary door panels, all kinds of "shen yin" and the severity of squirming. Wounded, this is the price paid after an attack from another direction.

However, the forehead damage caused by the head-to-head fight is actually negligible. In front of the archer who hurriedly turned around, the enemy attacking from the other way could not last longer; because of the slight delay in the yard, they just I was able to rush closer to some west exits, and then was blocked in front of the spearheads and blocked knife cards lined up in the gap between the carts and blocked the way; brandishing various weapons that were obviously short, yelling and After cursing hacking and chopping for a while, but unable to advance, and finally leaving some corpses to death, he had to call his father to call his mother and then the archers who were relieved to shoot down, and fell apart once again and came back in despair;

But there was an accident in the last link of this process;

Because Zhou Huaian, who was scanning the retreating enemy again, suddenly sensed that on the side of his defense line, a dozen people had sneaked up from the building; one of them had more vital signs than ordinary people. And most of these casualties were almost the result of this person with extremely strong vital signs; because he discovered it late, he had gotten this person very close, and rushed into the back of the people who were on standby and relay. , Hacked and killed wildly;

Therefore, even if the archers of the shooting team immediately turn their heads over, it is already too late, especially the strong man in the lead, who is invincible with a heavy fork-headed iron rod. It is the people who are painted either with flowers on their heads and helmets, or with their hands, feet and trunks that are crunchy and fleshy; they immediately caused a lot of casualties and chaos and shakes from the inside out; if it weren’t for the enemy on the street already Being beaten back, the opponent's opportunity to cooperate with the launch has been missed, and it will almost cause a complete collapse of the enemy's stomach and back.

In the end, Laoguan waved a painted wooden sign at the cost of being shaken and dislocated the finger of his left wrist, and stubbornly accompanied most of the attacks of this leading brawny. Only then did Laoguan create the siege of the old men with spears. At his chance, he finally tried to shed blood and tried his strength to kneel on the ground, and was shot to death by the corner of the door by the bow and arrow.

Although the distance between himself and the other party is still safe, Zhou Huaian can't help but squeeze a sweat from his back every time he recalls here; the real war is full of accidents and variable probabilities, and he is careless. The mistakes made by him are likely to be the result of losing all the games, or the result of never returning.

Then, between his contemplation and reflection, the new pawns who were scattered out to clean the battlefield and collect and recover usable materials, but they all ran back in surprise and wandered back, carefully looking behind them , But those defeated enemy forces returned in a chaotic and decisive aura.

This time they finally learned or washed away their lesson. The enemies standing in the front row have picked up various forms and various shields, and they cowered in the rear yelling and chasing away loudly. The shrinking dog hugged his body and Cen advanced unevenly. However, with this buffer and space, the archers in the battalion were further expanded; in the end, more than two hundred people took up all kinds of bows and arrows and joined the battle in the rear. Go in the sequence.

Although most of them may not be able to use bows and arrows proficiently, in a critical situation as long as they can pull the bowstring and radiate out in the general direction; anyway, the street is that wide and the crowd is so dense, even if Shooting arrows with closed eyes has a certain probability of hitting; so under this kind of extremely unprofessional knitting, fierce fighting broke out again.

During this period, several times were blocked by the frontal enemy, and some people tried to climb the eaves again, and broke into the storage yard along the top of the building; but this time they encountered the unscrupulous. In the houses adjacent to the outer wall of the yard, the beams supporting the roof tiles have been tightened and only one line is left. Then, after adding extra weight to the roof suddenly, people carry the tiles. The large man-made pits that have collapsed in, and the bottom of the pit only needs to insert some sharpened and roasted bamboo pieces to ensure that few people who fall will be able to climb out intact.

Then on the other road, due to the negligence and confusion of the defenders, another culprit rushed under the fortifications at the door with a relatively thick door panel, trying to build a path to surmount the obstacle at an angle; emergency measures and killer features were reserved at this time. It can come in handy. Several large pottery urns with burning red charcoal leaned from the top of the wall condescendingly. In an instant, sparks and carbon chips flying in the sky, as well as hot smoke that rolled and diffused, almost enveloped a small half of the street and gathered. Thief.

Not only did they burn their exposed legs, feet and arms with a scorching smell of burnt flesh, but also ignited their clothing and various baffles held in their hands, most of which were flammable wood products; Ever since, amidst the wailing, coughing and crying, there were painful jumping feet or slapped and tumbling figures everywhere; the so-called offensive was naturally called a pool of jokes.

Fortunately, the two waves of attacking thieves in different directions did not have any obvious coordination and sequence, nor did they have any real connection and echo. It was just such a mess that a stream of pigs suddenly came over; therefore, they ended up in front of the two exits. , Except for dozens of corpses left and right, and even without touching the door, he was beaten again and raced away.

However, this does not mean that the situation has improved. Riding on the interval of being repulsed again by the heavily damaged enemy, the tiger-faced Laoguan also saw the rough interrogation of the few occasionally captured prisoners; but the results obtained were somewhat surprising; these prisoners' The identities are very mixed. They actually come from different places and origins. There are fishermen and woodcutters in the nearby villages, as well as the homes of local tyrants in nearby towns and towns, or the courtyard of a local merchant in Shixiang Town. A member of the water trafficker.

According to their confession, it was a few former government officials and village heads who were in charge of leading and commanding them. They were ordered to gather in Shixiang Town to do a great deal; as for the one who broke in and caused more than ten deaths and injuries. Han is also a well-known figure with a history. He is the guardian of the house of Su Taigong, one of the best gentry in Sihui City. Lu Pingxi, who is also known as the "Tiezhang Lu", is also regarded as a local. A small well-known person who hides extravagance.

This result could not help but make Zhou Huaian’s mind more and more sinking. The more complex their origins, the more various aspects involved, which represents the larger the pattern and plot of the incident; and this kind of strong man came from the Sihui The news that the county town came to support and strengthen the local operations represented that the rebel forces in the county town could no longer count on it. Even the brigade commander Deng Cunzhi who went to the meeting was afraid that it would be dangerous.

The fighting in the town became more and more intense, especially in the direction to the city gate. The spies were sent out again and again, but they never came back to report or contact people; only the fire and smoke in the distance went straight up. The sound of fighting was slowly moving away.

The only thing that made him more at ease and relying on it was that after the morale boosted by several battles, there were at least more than 500 armed young men who could be used here; and at this time, get rid of lying down. Lieutenant Lv, who is humming and lacks a sense of presence, is left with the most commanding and prestigious candidate. He is undoubtedly the veteran of the team who has initially become accustomed to him. In this way, even if things get to the worst point, he will have the corresponding strength to counteract one or two.

At this time, from the other exit direction, he was accidentally brought back by the sentry. A man covered with mud and wet; surprisingly, it was the team who was in charge of the storage yard before, and saw his helmet and The armor was gone, only a jet black outfit and a short span were left, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to have collapsed.

"It's over... It's all over"

After seeing Zhou Huai'an, he dreamed of using an extremely pessimistic and disappointed voice, as if to give up and shouted.

"There are ambushes of thieves in all directions..."

"The brother who went to meet him was trapped. I was also squeezed into the ditch and fell unconscious..."

"Everyone is gone... there is only one dead body left..."

"Now I'm afraid of the school lieutenants in the city gate, even more so."

Then Zhou Huaian slapped abruptly, and suddenly fell to the ground and suddenly came.

"What nonsense are you talking about, do you want to mess with your own minds and people's hearts..."

And Laoguan also came forward and yelled very tacitly

"Does it hurt us all to die..."

"The brothers outside are clearly still fighting the enemy to the death... just waiting for us to help..."

"What are your thoughts, do you dare to curse them like this..."

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sighed in his heart. After getting up, Laoguan still refused to give up that little hope easily, and reminded himself by this reason.

"Just responding to the enemy passively like this is not a long-term solution..."

But after a second thought, he still followed the other party's words and said.

"Re-select some people who are brave enough to fight, but still have spare capacity..."

"Follow me to rush out and find the scattered brothers first."

"It's a good time to find a way for everyone..." (End of this chapter)
