Chapter 907: The Battle of Luzhou That Killed Chickens and Horrified Monkeys 9
Just as he rushed out of the shooting range of the thunderbolt cannon, the sound of the roar of the Demon-Subduing Crossbow was deafening again. Everyone had seen the bed crossbow, but the speed of fire was so fast and so dense. The Demon-Subduing Crossbow produced a deep blood trough among the attacking crowd, and wherever he went, people were overturned.
After passing through this road of death with flesh and blood, the bows and arrows in the hands of private soldiers of the aristocratic families could finally come in handy. They poured the feather arrows in their hands towards the defenders in Xiangshui Town.
"Zeng Ke, it won't take long for us to use the Demon-Subduing Crossbow to use up all the arrows. This is not a thunderbolt cannon. You can use it by picking up a stone and hitting it? Also, you have all the arrows of the thunderbolt fire at one time. After you finish it today, what should you do tomorrow?" Shangguan Biao touched his chin and looked at Zeng Ke.
Zeng Ke smiled and looked up at the two guys hanging high in the air, "Did you see it? These two guys are the opponent's aphrodisiacs. The rabbit died and the fox was sad. The other party was thinking about grabbing us at this time, probably wanting to hang us like this, right?"
"Does this matter?"
"Why doesn't it matter? Haven't you seen them rushing up desperately? I want to break their courage today so that they can see that our equipment can completely beat them!" Zeng Ke laughed and said, "Today, they will beat their blood. Tomorrow, will they still have the energy today? I'm afraid that tomorrow we will pee on the heads of those two guys, and they will only stand and wait and see!"
"It's reasonable!" Shangguan Biao nodded repeatedly.
As he spoke, the thunder fire was as dense as a locust, and when he heard the thunder fire, Zeng Ke knew that the enemy had approached within dozens of steps of the first line of defense. He tightened his belt, lifted the knife beside him, put on his helmet, and said to Shangguan Biao: "I'm going, you're ready to fight back in time!"
"Be careful. You have no eyes on the sword and gun!" Shangguan Biao smiled.
Yan Wei sat behind the chest wall and wiped the slender sabre with a piece of cloth. Although the sabre was already shiny. As an experienced scout, he did not need to look through his head to observe. He just needed to sense the trembling of the earth under his butt to tell how close the enemy was to the chest wall.
The remaining troops of the Gu family tied up Gu Xinghe and surrendered. This result made Yan Wei feel depressed. He did not catch Gu Xinghe with his own hands. It could not be considered as completing the task that the general would pay. More importantly, he could not overcome this hurdle in his heart. He was originally a cavalry, but he invited Ying to the front line. Perhaps only killing can calm his heart for the time being.
The comrades beside him rushed up shouting, Yan Wei threw away the rag in his hand. He supported himself with one hand and poked out from half of his body from the chest wall. Opposite him, an enemy was rushing up bravely with a spear. The spear hit him with a long spear. Yan Wei turned sideways. He reached out and grabbed the gun rod that had passed by, shouted loudly, and dragged the man half his body on the chest wall. He reached out and pulled his hand on his belt. A sharp dagger appeared in his hand. With a touch of his hand, he had already cut a hole in the neck of the opponent who was struggling with his head. Blood spurted out wildly, dyed the chest wall red, and pushed hard. The man fell back and weighed the spear snatched from his hand. Yan Wei leaned back and swung his arm. The spear in his hand shot out electric, shooting an enemy in the distance.
After killing two people in a row, Yan Wei bent down and picked up the sabre that had just been rubbed by finely from the ground. Suddenly, he pressed the top of the chest wall and jumped over and killed him directly.
Seeing Yan Wei crossing his chest and disappearing into the tide of enemies, Luo Yi, who was commanding on the front line, was shocked. Isn’t this a turtle-god calf seeking death? Seeing that there were soldiers around Yan Wei eager to try and want to climb over the wall, Luo Yi shouted loudly: “Get back for me and guard the wall.”
"General Luo, Captain Yan rushed out!"
"Let him die!" Luo Yi roared angrily. This bastard is just a troublemaker.
Although he was angry, Luo Yi still looked at the direction where Yan Wei rushed out nervously. This guy was a brave general. If he could get rid of his bad temper he learned from Mengren, he might be a powerful general in the future.
At this time, on the chest wall, both inside and outside were fighting desperately across the half-man-high wall. The Zhengbei Army's chest wall was extremely well-built. From the outside, the height of the chest wall was almost as high as a person's neck, but a piece of it was padded inside, which gave the Zhengbei Army the inner advantage of being condescending and taking advantage of it. At this time, fierce hand-to-hand combat was launched on each section of the chest wall, but only in Yan Wei's section, the enemies rushing up were sparse, which allowed his comrades around him to take up the longbow, aim and shoot, and one shot at a time.
Zeng Ke rushed up with great strides. Once the hand-to-hand combat was really started, the individual combat capabilities of these private soldiers of the aristocratic families were fully demonstrated. The competition was extremely fierce on the first part of the chest wall. At this time, Zeng Ke couldn't help but be glad that he caused a lot of damage to the opponent before the opponent rushed up, otherwise it would be even more difficult.
"General Zeng, Yan Wei rushed out!" Luo Yi said loudly.
Zeng Ke didn't say anything, standing beside Luo Yi, with a dark face, looking at the chaotic place. There were shouts and screams, and Yan Wei's black armor stomach could be seen from time to time.
"Run out, rush out!" Zeng Ke's personal soldiers suddenly shouted and jumped, and from the chaotic battlefield, Yan Wei rushed out in blood, with only half of the saber left, and his dagger was tightly held in his other hand.
"Arrow!" Zeng Ke stretched out his hand.
The personal soldiers around him immediately handed over a strong bow and a feather arrow.
With a whoosh, the arrow flew out, rubbed Yan Wei's body and shot down an enemy who was chasing Yan Wei. Yan Wei was obviously startled and slowed down. The enemy behind him immediately approached a few more steps.
The sound of whistling arrows sounded one after another. The sharp arrows shot by Zeng Ke were one by one, and the arrows flew over to Yan Wei's side, shooting down the pursuers behind him one by one. Yan Wei jumped and ran to the chest wall and flew in.
"General, I have killed more than a dozen!" He said excitedly. "Thank you for saving me!"
With a bang, Zeng Ke kicked him over, "Dogs can't change their shit." Zeng Ke roared angrily: "From now on, you will be by my side. If you dare to leave me more than three steps, I will put you in one arrow!"
With a rumbling sound, not far from them, a piece of chest wall was overturned, and the enemy rushed in. Zeng Ke roared: "Follow me!" He snatched the big knife from his personal soldiers and ran away.
"General, wait for me!" Yan Wei held half of the saber and rushed over like a flying one.
Looking at the two people running away, Luo Yi stomped his feet and rushed up.
The collapsed chest wall was about ten meters long. When more than a dozen enemy troops rushed in, Zeng Ke arrived like a flying one. The big knife swung, and a head rose with the knife. The big knife swung around the air and slapped it flat. The knife surface hit a man's helmet. With a puff, the whole head disappeared, but a helmet was buckled on his shoulder. As the person fell down, the helmet flew far away. One head had long become a rotten watermelon.
Yan Wei rushed beside Zeng Ke, and his horse and sword flew together like a mad tiger. He followed Luo Yi and rushed over. More than ten people rushed in were killed instantly. Zeng Ke was like a god of killing, blocking the gap. He waved his sword, and there was a great momentum of killing gods and Buddhas blocking the Buddhas.
The first line of defense in the entire Xiangshui Town seemed to be in danger, but it stood firm and occasionally made breakthroughs, but was immediately driven out again.
Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu's faces were as if they were the bottom of a pot. They thought they could break the enemy with the price of bleeding, but the opponent's tenacity was far beyond their expectations. The huge casualties made the two secretly scared. Not only were they injured by the opponent's long-range weapons during the assault, but the close-range close-fitting fighting made the two tremble, because this represented the opponent's true strength.
But at this time, I couldn't stop and there was no sign of failure ahead. If I withdraw my troops due to heartache and casualties, I am afraid that the morale that has finally been raised will be exiled for thousands of miles.
"General Zhao, General Huang!" The sound of horse hooves knocking on the ground came from behind, and the two of them turned around at the same time.
"Report to the two generals that the cavalry of the Northern Army is approaching."
When the two looked at each other, Yun Zhao might not launch a real attack. Maybe it was just to restrain himself and prevent himself from attacking Xiangshui Town with all his strength, but this was a good excuse to withdraw the army first.
"Tell me the order, retreat first today and fight again tomorrow!" Zhao Pu said loudly.
He wanted to retreat, but Shangguan Biao of Xiangshui Town was raising his energy for a while, and he was waiting for this moment. How could he tolerate his opponents to escape easily? When the private troops of aristocratic families retreated like a tide, Shangguan Biao led hundreds of cavalry and suddenly launched a counterattack.
The enemy surrounded and beaten suddenly launched a counterattack, and it was not the infantry but the cavalry that came to attack. The retreating private troops were in chaos. The ones behind wanted to run, but the ones in the distance wanted to turn around to form a formation to launch a counterattack. At this moment, these private troops lacked unified command and had no cooperation defects completely exposed to the opponent's eyes.
The two teams of Zeng Ke and Shangguan Biao's troops combined did not have many cavalry. Wang Qiang's fourth battalion itself did not have exclusive cavalry. The cavalry was only used as scouts in the fourth battalion and was usually assigned to each sentry team. They were only gathered when the army was needed to gather and fight. The entire fourth battalion had more than 20,000 people, and the cavalry was only 3,000, accounting for only one tenth of the number. Zeng Ke and Shangguan Biao's troops combined were less than 1,000 people. The previous two units suffered losses, and at this time there were only four or five hundred cavalry who could gather together to fight, but these four or five hundred cavalry were the elite among the elite soldiers. In an instant, the retreating enemy troops caused a turmoil.
