One hundred and thirtieth chapters guarding Huayin soldiers approaching the city
When Shi Jin led Shi Qian's team of men and horses to rush up to the city tower again, his ears were already filled with the roaring sounds of the officers and soldiers shouting for death under the city.
"Master, you are here. The officers and soldiers have been beaten back by us. Look at this, we are really going to attack by force. Master, please think of a way. If this continues, my brothers may not be able to survive tonight. "It's here." When Jin Jiaoban saw Shi Jin, it was as if he had seen a savior. He crawled over to greet Shi Jin and hurriedly reported when he saw Shi Jin.
When Shi Jin saw Jin Jie Ban's clothes and armor were disheveled and looked embarrassed, he immediately tugged on Jin Jie Ban's collar and tied his armor tightly, making him look more energetic. However, when Shi Jin left, he It had been painful for a while, so Shi Jin patted his back and walked with him through the city head where arrows were flying everywhere, and walked towards the gate tower of the west city.
Shi Jin hugged Jin Jiaoban's shoulders tightly and said: "Thank you for this, I will handle the rest personally. Don't worry, I will do everything. There is nothing his officers and soldiers can do to us."
"The master himself has done the work, so it will be a success immediately. Master, there is one more thing I need to report to you," Jin Jiaoban said and welcomed Shi Jin into the gate tower of the west city.
Less than half a day after Shi Jincai left, the door of the tower was pierced with arrows shot by officers and soldiers. Shi stepped further into the door, picked off a white-feathered arrow on the top of the door, and held it in his hand. , while looking at it, he sat down in front of the Eight Immortals table with the map, and facing the golden foot board, Shi Jin said, "What's the matter?" while looking carefully at the arrow in his hand.
The shaft of this white-feathered arrow is strong, but its structure is very heavy. Although it can penetrate clothing and armor, its usefulness is also limited due to its limited range. But today, this arrow can hit the city gate, and the arrowhead is sharp enough to penetrate wood. There were four points. It can be seen that the officers and soldiers had just rushed to the city gate. They were shooting arrows under the city. Since they can shoot arrows under the city wall so boldly, wouldn't it be... Shi Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. , couldn't it be that his arrow feathers were almost used up, otherwise why didn't Golden Foot shoot them when they were two hundred steps away from the city.
Shi Jin took a deep breath. In this chaotic environment, he tried to calm down and ignore the shouts of the officers and soldiers.
At this time, Jin Jiao Banfang wanted to speak, but when he saw Shi Jin looking at the arrow with a very strange look on his face, he paused and asked hurriedly: "Master, what's wrong?"
"The officers and soldiers know that we are short of arrows in the city. Although the offensive of the officers and soldiers is weakened at this moment, they have not really blocked a wave of attacks. I am afraid that this wave has just begun. The reason why the offensive is weakened is that they are waiting for the ladders and door-breaking cones to be transported up. Come and take a look, it won’t be long before the real action is taken,” Shi Jin said, his heroic eyebrows tightly knitted on his forehead.
"Master, what should we do? The existing arrows are indeed less than eight thousand," Jin Jiaopan sighed anxiously.
At this moment, the shouts of killing officers and soldiers outside rose in vain by three points, like rolling thunder, pouring into everyone's ears. In Shi Jin's opinion, this shouting of killing was not scary, it was scary. But it is the sharp momentum of the officers and soldiers. With this momentum and the troops still at the forefront, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will increase again.
"Report,,, officers and soldiers with siege machinery are coming again to kill," a boy who was spying on the report rushed in in great panic, and the leader reported.
Shi Jin didn't have to look into his eyes to feel the fear in his heart. I was afraid that the brothers standing on the tower at the moment were so timid looking at the formation of the officers and soldiers. With such morale, to be honest, That's what Shi Jin is really worried about. It's probably not a good sign to be afraid before fighting. And whatever Shi Jin is worried about, he immediately attacks. This leaves Shi Jin with no time to think about countermeasures. So what should he do? .
Shi Jin waved his hand and ordered the boy to stand down. He could no longer sit still in the tower. He stood up with a roar, pierced the arrow feathers in his hand into a corner of the table, and said towards the golden feet: "Let's go out to meet the enemy." After saying that, he picked up a long and strong bow from the wall of the city tower, carried a pot of arrow feathers and hung it on his back. He said to Shi Qian who was standing beside him: "Call immediately. All the archers in the city were divided into three rows. After a while, my general gave me all the eight thousand arrow feathers and took turns to shoot them down the city."
"Master, we only have 8,000. Once this... is used up, we..." Jin Jiaopan's face was quite troubled, but he still wanted to remind Shi Jin that the cruelty of this situation can no longer withstand such a majestic spectacle. It was frustrating.
Before Shi Jin could talk to him, Shi Qian was about to go out to make arrangements. When he passed by him, he patted Jin Jiaoban's shoulder and comforted him: "Why are you panic? The arrow feathers in the city have been used up, and there are arrows elsewhere. The feathers can be used, and my elder brother has already taken care of them." After saying that, he immediately picked up a bow, hung up the pot of arrows, and went outside to arrange the bow and arrow shooters.
After hearing this, Jin Jiaoban realized that although Shi Jin did not tell the origin of the arrow feathers, since it was arranged by the master, it must have been done properly and unintentionally. This time, the burden in his heart was much lighter.
But there was no less pressure in Shi Jin's heart. He knew that the "elsewhere" Shi Qian mentioned meant that Di Yan would confiscate a lot at the Huang family's ancestral home, but this was just a brief mention to Shi Qian on the road. , Shi Qian didn't know that the number of those arrow feathers was probably not large enough to supply the defense needs of the city. It was just enough for Di Yan's entire battalion to complete the mission. Therefore, the number of arrow feathers on the city's head was just enough. I'm afraid there are only these 8,000 from the beginning to the end. If they are used up, really urgently, there will only be hand-to-hand bloody battles on this city.
Although Shi Jin knew it, he didn't say it. When Shi Qian was leaving, he also stepped out, but before his front feet had crossed the threshold, he paused again, stretched out his feet, turned around and looked at the golden feet and said: " By the way, you just said you had something to report to me,"
When Jin Jiaoban heard this, he slapped his forehead fiercely and said with some self-reproach, "Look at me, I'm thinking too much. If the master didn't say anything, I almost forgot. What I want to tell the master is that in less than half an hour, A group of men dressed as officers and soldiers arrived, all dressed in official uniforms, so I almost started fighting with them." Jin Jiaoban couldn't help but let out a small breath when he thought about it now. At that time, he was focused on dealing with the wolves and tigers outside the city. Suddenly a group of officers and soldiers appeared behind them while they were attacking the city. No one was afraid of who they were. Jin Jiaoban continued: "The big man leading the attack was carrying a Fengming sword. He announced that he was from Gu Yanbing, and he also said that they Now we are under the eldest brother's account. You asked them to wait here, but this is the case."
When Shi Jin heard this, his face became slightly happy, and he nodded and said: "Yes, Gu Yanbing came quite quickly. I don't know where he is now."
"I was afraid that he was an internal agent of the officers and soldiers, so I moved them to a restaurant on the right side of the west city gate tower to rest. Now someone is secretly monitoring their every move. Since they are one of my own, I don't have to be so careful. Brother, "Do you want me to send him up so that I can help big brother defend the city?" Jin Jiaoban was happy in his heart. He was not only happy to have some helpers now, but also to be with such an awesome big brother in this trapped city. Here, you can even draw a team.
Shi Jin waved his hand and said: "Just wait there for them, I have another wonderful use." After saying this, Shi Jin heard shouts of "kill Zhentian" from outside. It was obvious that the officers and soldiers were approaching, so Shi Jin called Jin Jiaoban and said: "Come on, let's go to the city to have a look," he said, then climbed onto the west city wall with Jin Jiaoban.
Shi Jin stood by the battlements and looked around. The mountains in the distance had been hidden under the deep dusk. From far to near, there was a dark sea of officers and soldiers everywhere. The high ladders were climbed by more than ten people working hard. Pushing and rushing towards the city, I don't know if this is the order of Inspector Meng or someone else. It is really not like Inspector Meng's character to directly start the war without saying hello, especially the control of the battle situation. I have never heard of anyone stopping the attack to get the ladder only when he remembered to use it halfway. This does not seem to be Supervisor Meng's handiwork.
But who the hell is it who is leading the army now? If you want the heads of our brothers, then I have to save your lives first.
Shi Jin looked at the officers and soldiers who were rushing towards them like a tide, roaring and shouting to kill, and quickly came towards them with their swords waving, especially the dozens of groups of ladders, which were even more powerful. He came arrogantly, looking completely unafraid, "Fuck you, you are so arrogant and don't take Shaohua Mountain seriously at all, then I will let you taste the feeling of going back and forth," Shi Jin He was just talking to himself, then suddenly shouted: "Archers with bows and arrows are ready,"
Hundreds of bows listened to Shi Jin's order, and they immediately drew the bows and set arrows on the battlements. Each of them poured all their strength into it, pulling the bow like a full moon. Each of the sharp arrows secretly aimed at their own target. It is said that at this moment, anyone who is targeted by their arrows can be counted as dead without hesitation. They will have to wait for Shi Jin's order to attack them.
Shi Jin saw that the vanguard troops had reached two hundred strides and entered Shi Jin's shooting range, but Shi Jin did not move at all. This was different from what Shi Qian expected. Shi Qian knew deeply that this shooting The most important thing is timing. If those officers and soldiers are allowed to get close to the city wall, it will be too late. Shi Qian can't care about anything else. He felt Chao Shijin's novel reminding him: "Brother, if you don't shoot now, how long will it take?"
Shi Jin shook his head. Obviously Shi Jin was not frightened and lost his mind because of the force of the officers and soldiers. Instead, Shi Jin was patiently waiting for this. Shi Qian was confused and couldn't help but follow Shi Jin's direction. He also looked down, watching the officers and soldiers coming in overwhelming numbers below...
