Chapter 137
In the city, on the roof of a house, Li Jing watched the pirates angrily pouring into the city. These pirates were very arrogant, and even didn't send a tentative scout, and just rushed in from a large group.
Although these bandits, although they were in many powers and attacked again, they rushed in like this, which was too unfair to take themselves seriously.
Li Jing shouted softly and calmed down. The officers passed one by one. After the order was passed, the soldiers' mood of being hit was finally stable enough. The Shamen Town Army had already set up a huge ambush circle in the West City according to the prior arrangement. The core of the ambush circle was the 120-entered servant team led by Li Jing, and there were also six groups of surprise soldiers specially drawn from the warriors. Among them, the surprise soldiers were at the forefront with a large square shield, and were equipped with an eight-foot spear, a bow and a pot of arrows and thirty-two.
These seventy-two generals assumed the burden of stabilizing the formation and preventing the pirates from breaking through the ambush circle. Behind them were two servants led by Li Jing, who were 120. These two servants could be shè from far away and fighting nearby, playing the role of supporting the surprise troops. Behind them were six gangs of jumping sword and shield soldiers, and then six gangs of Mo Jian. However, they had not yet equipped Mo Jian, so they temporarily served as sword and shield soldiers and archers. Finally, they were six gangs of crossbow soldiers laid on roofs and other heights, equipped with a total of 72 crossbow machines and entered the bow.
This is the main ambush force. On the left, there are six teams of 420 sword and shield soldiers, and on the right, there are 700 spear soldiers. In addition, there are hundreds of young and strong men holding wooden sticks, stones, etc. ready to come up to support at any time.
Li Jing felt that this formation was enough for dealing with five hundred pirates. But now, he had to use these soldiers to deal with a total of 1,200 pirates, and he had no time to change his arrangements.
When they saw the pirates rushing into the city like water, some soldiers who had just boosted their morale began to fear again. This was the first real battle. Although they had imagined countless battle scenes before the battle, how to make achievements and become famous. However, before the battle, when they were really in front of the war, looking at the bright sword light and the rumbling steps, many soldiers' hearts began to be beating violently, with red faces, whirlwind ears, and even their hands and feet were weak, and their mouths were dry.
Li Xigou, the leader of the military police, led a team of black-clothed military police wearing red armbands, stood in the last row with their swords. They received Li Jing's personal order. When they were fighting, those who dared to retreat by the white line on the street would be punished for being cowardly fighting deserters and would be killed without mercy.
Before the war, those who were executed by the military police for desertion were not only not given any pensions, but also family members would be driven out of Shamen Town.
Seeing that the bandits were getting closer and closer, nearly one-third of them had already rushed into the city. (Baidu search: Sui Meng, the fastest update to read novels) Originally, if only five hundred thieves had entered, almost all of them had entered the ambush circle at this time. But now, there are only more than four hundred thieves entering the ambush circle, and there are still seven or eight hundred thieves outside the gap.
You can't wait any longer. Wait until the forward pirates are about to rush to the ambushed warriors.
Li Jing shouted: "Arrow ready!"
All the soldiers equipped with bows and arrows immediately set off their bows and servants. Although previous assessments showed that among all the soldiers in the town, there were very few qualified archers, and even eleven archers could not be gathered together. However, at this time, hundreds of soldiers fired their bows at the same time, and the power of the mess was also in shock, completely covering the attack. In such a dark night, archery was better to be limited by the dim light at night, and it was better to cover the attack.
Seeing that the forward's pirates had already rushed within sixty steps, Li Jing shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"
Archers were nervously opening and firing arrows. At this time, they didn't care about the correct head. Just leaning towards Yao shè forty-five degrees, the arrow branches would naturally fall from Yao, far exceeding the power of the flat. Hundreds of arrows flew into Yaokun for more than ten feet, and then turned into a rain of arrows, and rushed down with the whistling wind.
Countless screams came, and the first one to rush into the city was the pirates. They were not wearing armor, and they really tasted the power of dense pirates. At the first moment, twenty or thirty groups of dense pirates fell down.
The pirates were caught off guard and kept their heads in a state of confusion. At this moment, they had never thought that the castle that should have been broken through by them would suddenly have these sharp attacks.
Huang Yu, the leader of the pirate striker, was stunned. Fortunately, his rich combat experience allowed him to instinctively avoid an arrow that was inserted from his head. He barely avoided the arrow and his soul finally recovered. There was an ambush, which was his first reaction.
The next moment, he immediately opened his throat and shouted loudly: "There is an ambush, rush, rush hard, rush over and kill them all!" Years of experience told him that there are only two ways to face ambush. One is to move closer to the spot and wait for support. The second is to advance instead of retreating, and continue to rush over. Although there are ambushes in the enemy, in general, as long as you can rush over, there is a way out. At this time, you must not retreat. There are accomplices constantly coming from behind, and the back path is not smooth at all. At this time, you retreat, but you cannot retreat, and instead reveal your entire back to the enemy.
The yellow croaker did not choose to get closer, but chose to continue charging.
"Don't be afraid, they don't have many incoming, they are all new recruits. They will be defeated when they rush over and rush to their side!" Huangqi roared.
The pirates were all desperate people who licked blood on the tip of the knife. Although they were ambushed, they quickly continued to rush up after the initial panic. The archers had already fired three arrows in a row, and the pirates had fallen dozens of times. But this still could not stop them, and more and more bandits had rushed up.
"Set up a shield and raise a gun!"
"Stay on your feet!"
While Li Jing kept drawing the bow, he watched the battlefield at any time and changed the orders in time. After receiving the order, the seventy-two surprise soldiers in front immediately put down the bow in their hands, grabbed the square iron shield that was half-height and smashed it heavily on the ground. The sharp teeth at the bottom of the square shield immediately penetrated deeply into the ground. The surprise soldiers held the shield with one hand and held the spear in the other hand, half-kneeled behind the shield, and raised the spear to wait for battle.
Seventy-two shields were connected, and an iron arm was formed in an instant to block the street entrance.
"Boundist, crossbow machine is ready!"
The hit rate of the bow and arrow is too low. The closer the pirate rushes, the hit rate actually decreases a lot. The archer standing on the roof immediately took off crossbows. The speed of the crossbows is actually not as fast as that of the bow and arrow, but the flat power of the crossbows cannot be compared with that of the bow and arrow. Even if the archery skills are not good, the hit rate can be increased by the hit rate, which is even more important. The crossbows that Li Jing equipped for the crossbows are three consecutive crossbows.
“shè!”
"Swish swish swish swish!" From several directions above several houses on the street, seventy-two crossbows were fired at the same time. This batch of newly modified crossbows can be used for three crossbow arrows at one time. Although the service life after transformation is much lower than the original one and is prone to failure, once concentrated, the power in an instant is simply incomparable to bows and arrows and ordinary crossbow machines.
In a short period of time, more than 200 crossbow arrows were all shrunk out, forming a terrible metal storm among the pirates. In a blink of an eye, the storm tore up the dozens of pirates who rushed to the shield wall. One by one, one red eyes and rushed up with swords and weapons, forever stopped at a few steps in front of the shield wall. The corpses were stacked one by one, and they could no longer move forward.
The pirates behind no longer dared to rush forward, letting the yellow croaker roar behind, but the pirates were all despaired at this time and they all hid to both sides. The pirates were both brave and had never seen such a fierce attack before, and they all began to turn around and run away.
Li Jing seized the opportunity and immediately ordered the surprise troops to open several passages, release the sword and shield soldiers to rush out, and chase the escaped pirates. However, the surprise troops were required to defend their positions and other archers were not allowed to pursue them.
More than a hundred jumping soldiers came out, and Li Jing led his two teams of servants to follow him and rushed out like a wolf or a tiger. The pirates broke their courage at this time and turned around and fled to the gap. Although the gap was very wide, no matter how wide it was, it could not stop rushing in and rushing out desperately. The horses on both sides blocked the three gaps tightly, and you stepped on me, which was extremely chaotic. Li Jing took the opportunity to kill, and the jumping soldiers held a cowhide shield in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other, and were only concerned about following behind and killing.
The Jumping Soldier was originally a military invaded and willing to sign up for it. However, since Li Jing increased his salary for Jumping and said that in the future, officers would choose more from Jumping Soldiers, all military soldiers with some ability in the army signed up for Jumping Soldiers. This also led to the fact that the army now has the most fierce and fierce military force. More than 200 Jumping Soldiers chased after this, killing ghosts and wolves howled and blood flowed all over the ground.
However, Li Jing did not love to fight. This counterattack caught the enemy off guard, and the pirates outside were blocked and could not enter. If he was love to fight, once the gap was opened, more pirates rushed in, Li Jing would not be able to bear it.
Li Jing waved back with a long blood-dropped sword. Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian's two servants immediately stuffed the iron whistle hanging around their necks into their mouths and blew it desperately. The sharp iron whistle sounded, and all the sword and shield soldiers were shocked, and then quickly moved closer and retreated. The surprise soldiers immediately opened the shield formation, and the sword and shield soldiers successfully retreated back to the shield wall.
The jumping soldiers and the servants were both bloody and bloody, and even the hands holding the knife were trembling, but this could not hide the excitement in their hearts at this moment. Basically, each of them had achieved something just now and had a lot of military achievements.
Zhang Chengzong waved the bamboo steel whip with countless red and white objects and laughed: "It's so good, it's so good. This attack is really a pleasure to kill."
Liu Shouqian held a copper mace in one hand and held a horizontal knife in the other, laughing, "Just relying on these bandits, they actually want to come and attack us. Jinyao, let them taste what it means to have come and never return."
In the past, the first batch of more than 400 pirates who rushed into the city, except for nearly 100 who died from bows and arrows and crossbows at the beginning, most of the rest were still killed by Li Jing and his friends' attacks, killing more than 100 thieves, dozens of injured and those who had no time to escape from the city. Although they knelt down and begged for mercy, they were killed by Li Jing's ruthless order. In the end, only more than 400 thieves and bandits escaped back, and the rest were all buried in the city.
