Chapter 68: Under the city (continued three)

Views:

In Changle City County, it is already a scene of the end of the war.

Now that the preliminary decision has been made, then the small remnant led by Zhou Huaian can only put down the officers and soldiers in the city and leave them alone for the time being, first assemble and rush back to the county office; kill them and get rid of them. The crowd robbed by fire, and then took back the mules, horses and armors used by the rear team for transportation.

Otherwise, without the animal power and means of transportation, even if you want to run, you can't go far, and there is not much probability to escape the follow-up chase of the native soldiers in those places. Fortunately, the city of Changle is not a big county and it is not far away. They rushed back after a short time; they hacked and dispelled the scattered people who were plundering, and put out the fire that had just started.

Then they gathered some soldiers scattered nearby, and simply counted the heads and supplies. Zhou Huaian found out that there were more than 100 people around him. Except for some scattered silk and other belongings, most of them needed food and grass. It is also considered to be intact, and the large livestock and fodder in the temporary stables are also being returned, but the caretakers and caretakers have run out.

Seize the time to re-allocate manpower and materials. Because of the poor performance after being injured, Laoguan and Cheng Dajiao have decided to stay, so they led the more than 20 people who are still intact to guard Zhou Huaian’s breakthrough mission. It fell on Xu Si, the top leader of the direct team.

Although there are no more words or words to say farewell, the overall atmosphere at this moment is still quite depressed and tragic. Zhou Huai even feels a little ashamed, and has not dared to face their eyes or say something. Pretending to be heroic comforting words; after all, no matter what the reason and necessity, he is the one who uses their sacrifices to create opportunities and try to escape danger and predicament.

When Zhou Huaian was about to step on the mount with saddles and water bags, the person in charge of the guard who suddenly stayed on the street ran back with a certain expression of disbelief and confusion; it also made Zhou Huaian's mood uncontrollable. It was heavy, could it be that those officers and soldiers had already entered the city.

"Management...management, and management are terrible"

"The official dogs in the city suddenly became messy..."

Among his stuttering and incoherent descriptions, he also brought back an unexpected news to Zhou Huaian.

It seemed that during the short delay he was here, the turning point suddenly appeared; close to the police post near the city wall, more than one person heard that the officers and soldiers who stayed in the city were suddenly met from outside the city. Attacks in the wilderness, and all kinds of screams and chaos;

"It's the reinforcements from the South Gate..."

Zhou Huaian suddenly yelled out of blessing to the soul

"It's an egg, just kill it with me...Ah"

"Kill the thief..."

"Kill the thief..."

"Kill the official dog..."

While leading the call out loudly, he first took up a half-length big card, took the lead in the direction of the south gate, and was mixed and clustered in the shouts and roars of Hao Hao ****, and then turned and rushed again. go back. But in the process of their U-turn, there were a lot of armed civilians and soldiers joining in from the streets and alleys, and the momentum they created increased.

It seems that the variables and disturbances brought about by the reinforcements outside the city are large enough, and even part of the wall has been occupied on the city, and a simple line of defense and fortifications have been set up. The part of the official army who is cleaning and moving the stuffing inside the city gate has also appeared for a while. The military spirit was obviously shaken and morale slipped, and in Zhou Huaian's magnified field of vision, they could see their anxious and anxious expressions.

So, they just went along the street in such a rush, the snake-shaped turner rushed to the edge of the city wall, and then encountered the interception and blockade from the city's awakening again; and the hand held the card while the head was flying and shooting At the moment when Du Duo and Bi Bo rang, Zhou Huaian reacted at once, and suddenly he rushed to the forefront with a hot head.

He really did not expect that he, who was hiding behind the scenes, would one day play the role of the capstone and the leader. But at this step where he has stepped up the stairs, he cannot retreat and hide in a safe crowd; whether it is to leave his back to the enemy or take the lead in retreating is a disastrous result, whether he is dead or alive has only to be hardened The top of the scalp goes up;

At this moment, he finally used the auxiliary abilities he had never used. The energy bar that had been accumulated for a long time was pushed down from that field of vision, and a significant part of it disappeared suddenly, and the adrenaline level marked in the three-dimensional human model suddenly increased; and at this moment, I felt that the mind was extremely calm and the whole body was extremely calm. Filled with steady power, even the movements and sounds of the enemy and Zhou's fellow robes have become somewhat slowed down;

And their breathing and their expressions have become very clear and clear. It seems that under the exposed skin, the texture and tendency of every muscle can be faintly felt. At this moment, he also remembered very clearly the anti-riot training he had received, such as how to use composite transparent anti-shields, and some techniques for slowly advancing under the intensive throwing and blows of the rioting crowd.

And so that he can easily swing two pieces of skin hand cards full of hysteresis and blunt resistance, one after another in time to block the top-down, slashing and stabs of the spear blades; and then push the top step by step. As the opponent kept retreating, and even tripped over by his own weapon, they stumbled and fell from the edge of the ladder one after another.

When he was here and fighting and walking amidst cheers and encouragement, he stepped on the corner of the last step; suddenly he felt a noticeable burning sensation and smoky heat, as well as the splashing sparks close at hand. It smelled like fireworks and fireworks, and there was even more exclamation and shouts behind him; but it was the officers and soldiers who occupied the city that began to dump the burning coals;

Hell, Zhou Huaian remembered that this was the defense equipment he had prepared on the head of the city, but he didn't expect to deal with him. As the saying goes, "Going against the current, or retreating if you don't advance", he didn't have time to think about it anymore. Do your best to wave the two hand cards for rotation, like two door panels, open the bow from left to right to remake the scattered fire coal and soot;

In an instant, I saw that most of the charcoal pieces were intercepted, as if they had encountered a small whirlwind, bounced in a certain fast-paced rhythm, and were wrapped up in the sound of the waving wind and rolled back a lot. , Almost blowing and splashing on his back, among the several officers and soldiers who were still holding the container; suddenly burned and choked with screams.

When the last wave of interception by those officers and soldiers also failed, and Zhou Huaian, whose physical burst mode was gradually coming to an end, was able to stand firmly on the wall again, there were no more officers and soldiers who could still stand in front of him. How much; at least in this narrow city ladder advancing and encountering the battle, the officers and soldiers who tried to counterattack or struggled to block in front of him, basically could not escape the brute force of being swept across or exploded, knocked down, Overturned and squeezed down.

Then, when he stopped and took a deep breath and began to feel the long-lost fatigue, the rebel soldiers who rushed out from behind him with thunderous cheers raised their swords and spears to meet these last remnants spontaneously. , And devoted all his strength to the subsequent battle.

After a while, the officers and soldiers outside the city who had not been killed in battle were all seven or eighty-eight. The remaining dozens of officers and soldiers on the city’s head were also compressed into a narrow corner; then they were replaced. After three consecutive rounds of firing of the bow and crossbow, except for a few prisoners who collapsed on the spot and kneeled and begged for mercy, there was no more figure capable of fighting and struggling.

"Successfully wins...Successfully wins..."

Until this moment, Zhou Huaian, who was full of black and sweaty faces, also raised uneven cheers and roars again.

"Stormy... Long Zai"

Then there were echoing shouts from under the city, well, it was indeed a cut from Stormrage Camp, or Zhou Huaian participated in the formulation.

But next, they were shocked, and they hurriedly gathered around and shouted.

"Camp management, you got an arrow..."

"Are you okay with the camp manager"

"Let me take a look...Where is it hurting..."

"Lifeguard, where is the lifeguard..."

"Is there anyone who can breathe..."

Then, Zhou Huaian felt an arrow penetrating obliquely from his paneled helmet. Well, from the reflection, it looked like a pair of irregular horns had suddenly grown on his head. . It's no wonder that in the end, the officers and soldiers dared not rush forward as if they had seen a ghost, but instead clamored for "ghosts or ghosts" to return and escape.

Then I also found it on my body. The leaked charcoal burned out black holes. Although most of them were blocked by the iron under the nail armor, the gap between the neck and the shoulders slowly appeared hot. Tingling, it seems that some minor burns are inevitable.

At this time, the joint camps of the native soldiers in the distance seemed to have reacted and hurriedly drove out a few men and horses and pressed them up.

Zhou Huaian couldn't take care of continuing to examine his injuries, and quickly sent people to join the reinforcement line outside the city to come in, and then rushed to close the wooden board gate before the earth regiments approached the city wall and re-clogged it with a cart filled with mud; He also let go of a round of arrows with uneven residuals, rushed to the front of the line to shoot a dozen over, and then retreated to a safe distance and re-lined up again.
