Two hundred and fortieth second chapters disagreement step by step three
"Commander, retreat quickly,"
The wooden wall moved and gradually approached Shi Jin and others. At this critical moment, the man behind the army who sent the order brought Lin Chong's words: "General Lin has cleared the blockage in the rear. Please withdraw quickly, commander-in-chief."
Shi Jin did not dare to hesitate at the moment. He took one last look at the dark wooden wall and led the large group of people to turn around and walk back along the avenue. He met Lin Chong and others, but saw Lin Chong's face turned pale. He looked at the arrester again. In the animal formation, I saw that the animal traps lurking in the wooden boxes had been triggered, and their huge mouths were biting tightly toward the sky. However, there were many long spears inserted in various places around it. Most of these long spears were made of wooden poles. Even though it was made, only Lin Chong's tungsten-iron weapon was not bitten off. The rest of the spears were broken and broken, and none of them was intact.
With such a powerful bite, it is no wonder that if a person sinks in, he will be bitten off at the waist. It is terrible, terrible.
Shi Jin did not dare to hesitate, but after these few battles, he became extremely cautious. At that moment, he paid more attention and continued to the east gate with less than 500 people. It was easier, there were no obstacles, and no officers and soldiers came out, but this empty street made Shi Jin feel vaguely uneasy. Before this uneasiness dissipated due to the smoothness of the road, he saw this There was another machine formation waiting for him on the road ahead.
There was not a single officer or soldier on the street, but there were wooden barrels neatly stacked on the screen. The wooden barrels were about half a person tall and could be hugged by one person. However, such wooden barrels seemed like The chess pieces are usually arranged in many neat rows and columns, with each barrel about five steps apart. There is no other mystery.
Shi Jin looked at it and then ordered the troops to stop. Qin Ming, Hua Rong, and Lin Chong also reined in their horses and looked at the barrel formation in front of them. You three of them looked at me and I looked at you. No one knew what happened to these officers and soldiers. What kind of trick was it playing? And the minions further behind had already been frightened to death by these mechanisms and equipment. They were all worried about the wooden wall behind them catching up. For a moment, the soldiers were unsettled and started talking. One after another, the whole team became impetuous and scattered.
At this time, Shi Jin rode out with a dragon stick in hand and said to everyone: "You guys are here, I'll go take a look."
"Commander," Lin Chong said, "I have no choice but to go and see what happens." He was about to dismount, but was grabbed by Hua Rong beside him.
Hua Rong said: "Coach Lin has been working hard just now, now it's time for me to go on this journey,"
"No," Shi Jin said, "You stay here, I'm just being careful." After saying that, before anyone could persuade him, he immediately turned over and jumped off his horse, holding the dragon stick in his hand, and jumped into the barrel array. middle.
Lin Chong was worried and immediately jumped off his horse and followed Shi Jin.
Shi Jin looked left and right in the formation. These wooden buckets were no different from ordinary buckets used to carry water. Wouldn't there be some mystery behind them? Shi Jin stood in front of a wooden bucket, put down the dragon stick, and squatted down. Come and pull out a dagger from your boot, and want to pry open the barrel to see what's going on.
"Commander, you must not do it," Lin Chong happened to catch up and hurriedly persuaded: "There is no telling what mechanism is involved here. If we fall into the trap, what should we do? I think, since there is room between the barrels, we can Why not just walk around it without triggering it,"
"Kill,,," the shouts of officers and soldiers in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the wooden wall was slowly moving towards this side.
Shi Jin took a deep breath, filled his chest, gritted his teeth, and felt that what Lin Chong said was right. He immediately inserted the dagger, stood up with the stick, and walked quickly through the formation. This wooden barrel formation The street was as wide as the street and sixty steps deep. Shi Jin walked around in a hurry and counted more than forty steps.
Shi Jin and Lin Chong reached the opposite side safely, turned around and said, "Don't touch the barrel, come here quickly."
Hua Rong and Qin Ming received the order and each led an empty horse and carefully led everyone into the barrel array. Seeing the commander personally exploring the way, the large group of people passed by safely and soundly. The people who were originally in panic now now We all felt relieved. Although we could not help but feel a little scared when we walked among them and looked at those wooden barrels, with our hearts beating wildly, most of our fears turned into curiosity. Could it be that these wooden barrels were just a trick to scare the frightened birds like us? With this in mind, everyone stepped in cautiously, and soon the barrels were submerged in the sea of people.
Shi Jin and Lin Chong stood in front of the formation, watching the people coming and paying attention to the movements around them. Under the dark night, they didn't see anything wrong. Even on the eaves that Shi Jin was paying special attention to, there was something wrong. There was no disturbance at all.
Not far away, the officers and soldiers had already driven the wooden wall over, and the torches on the wooden wall illuminated the sky over there. Standing in the darkness, Shi Jin and others not only felt more miserable and embarrassed, but the officers and soldiers were shouting for kill wantonly. The sound made those minions even more frightened.
Shi Jin turned around and looked towards the east gate. He saw that the east gate was pitch black without a trace of light. Shi Jin's heart sank and he felt bad. He was afraid that the most terrible thing was not on this road but on the road. On the way out of the city, the officers and soldiers presented many surprises. I was afraid that there would be a big gift before leaving. Shi Jin thought and clenched his fists. He had never been defeated so miserably. He was chased and knocked down all the way. Forget it, the most terrifying thing was that the fear of unknown agencies that remained in his heart was like a seed buried in his heart, leaving a shadow.
Just when Shi Jin was looking at the east gate in trance, suddenly a small flame appeared in the array of wooden barrels. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight small flames flashed near the shops on both sides. It was particularly obvious. Just when everyone was stunned, they saw where the few flames flashed and there was immediately a spark with a burning sound, like a fire snake, quickly jumped towards the wooden barrel in the middle of the street. , no one had reacted yet, but Shi Jin was already startled by these fires. Just when he turned around to check what was going on, the barrels in the street exploded violently one after another with the roaring sound of explosions. Sparks and billowing thick smoke brought many stones and iron pieces and exploded towards the nearby area. The nearby minions were knocked down by the blast of air and were beaten with blood and flesh all over their bodies by the scattered stones and iron sheets.
Shi Jin shouted loudly, but there was nothing he could do about it. The wooden barrels exploded one after another with overwhelming momentum. The minions walking among them were blown to pieces and their bodies were scattered in pieces. At this time, Qin Ming and Hua Rong happened to reach the edge of the wooden barrel array, and the explosion destroyed their horses. The two generals were washed off their horses by the air wave. When they rolled down, they were already outside the array, and the two generals who were walking in front followed each other. Well, those with fast feet also left the formation, and some were blown out. There were many lame legs and broken arms, and the stones and iron pieces penetrated so deep into the flesh that it was excruciatingly painful to move.
Upon seeing this, Shi Jin and Lin Chong rushed forward and helped Qin Ming and Hua Rong up. At the same time, as the explosion passed, the minions behind rushed through the flames and smoke in a panic, stepping on a mess of blood and flesh to break through. Although Qin Ming and Hua Rong escaped by chance, the fall was not light. Hua Rong's calf seemed to be broken and the pain was unbearable. Qin Ming and Qin Ming also suffered some spinal injuries from the fall. Shi Jin pulled one of Hua Rong's arms. He put it around his neck, grabbed Hua Rong's waist, and asked Lin Chong to help Qin Ming, not daring to stop at all, and hurried towards the east gate.
Shi Jin led a group of defeated soldiers down the street and came to the last crossroads before the east gate. Suddenly Shi Jin stopped. Everyone was like frightened birds, thinking they had encountered some mechanism again, but looking further Looking ahead into the darkness, I saw that there was nothing on the ground except the battlefield where they had fought.
"Commander, why did you stop?" Qin Ming asked.
Shi Jin pointed in the direction of the east city and said, "Look,"
Everyone looked where Shi Jin pointed, and saw that the sky was completely black, and the speckled stars were obscured by clouds at some point.
"Look at the east gate, it's dark and quiet. I'm afraid the east gate has been lost," Shi Jin said. When he left here, Shi Jin really wanted to leave two troops to guard the east gate in case of accidents, but saw that the generals were determined. Determined to go to the west gate, Shi Jin gave up his mind and decided not to disperse his troops. He did not expect to encounter such a tragic ambush at that time, thinking that the worst case scenario would be only 800 casualties to the enemy and 1,000 losses to himself. That's all, but I didn't expect that now even half of the officers and soldiers would have been damaged to such an extent without even facing a direct confrontation.
"I'll lead a team of men to kill them," Lin Chong said, clenching the spear in his hand.
"No," Shi Jin immediately rejected it and said, "It's pitch dark on top of this city, and there are inevitably some sharp weapons. I'm going to investigate. There's no need to risk my brothers' lives."
"Commander, if you say this, I still have to go," Qin Ming said: "I, Qin Ming, have been in Liangshan for some time, so that one day I can follow the commander and charge and fight. Today, I can The commander-in-chief kills a way, and I, Qin Ming, have fulfilled my wish. The commander-in-chief's world is not this Yuncheng County, there is no need to risk it for this mere east gate,"
Shi Jin was very moved when he heard this. He pursed his lips. Many words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything. He nodded, patted Qin Ming's shoulder with his hand, paused and said slowly: "Good brother, Live and die together,"
"Live and die together," Qin Ming, Hua Rong and Lin Chong said firmly in unison.
"Live and die together, live and die together," the minions were also exaggerated by this friendship and shouted in unison while raising their swords.
"Hahaha,,," just when everyone was raising their morale again, suddenly a burst of wild laughter came from the distance.
Everyone looked around and saw darkness not far from the street.
"Who is here?" Shi Jin shouted to the other side: "Please come out and speak, why bother pretending to be a ghost?"
