Zhao Lin's eyes were cold. When he saw the officers and soldiers crossing the stone steps, he slowly raised his hand with a vicious look on his face, "Send the order... release the knife..."
"Leader Zhao has an order... release the knife... release the knife..." The orders were passed down one after another, and a moment later there was a sound. An iron chain shook suddenly, and the tail was pulled.
There is a huge knife, which is a bit like an anchor. There are many sharp iron bars hanging on the huge blade. The knife falls from the upper right and is dragged by the iron chain, making a ping-pong-pong sound, clear and harsh.
At this time, the attacking soldiers also noticed the abnormality and instinctively looked to their right. The sword was thrown towards them with a devastating momentum. Qi Tian just raised his head and saw a soldier behind him being cut in half by the sword.
, the sharp iron bars on the blade scraped against nearby soldiers, killing or injuring them. The thick shield could not block the impact of the blade. There was a loud bang for a while, and the long snake formation was in chaos. Qi Tian was just about to say something, his chest
As soon as it hurt, his whole body was scratched by the heavy iron chain, and he flew into the air and landed directly on the hard cliff. Poof, Qi Tian didn't have time to groan in pain and fell directly.
A huge knife was swung left and right, and all the creatures within a few feet were cut. Hundreds of soldiers became bloody and bloody. Some were cut off, some were taken to the bottom of the cliff, and some were directly killed.
Some of the survivors wanted to retreat, but without the complete shield array cover, they were killed by rolling stones.
The bandits made a loud cry, but Li Jiucheng, who was standing on the high ground, had a gloomy face. He didn't expect the bandits to have such a terrifying back-up move. A knife can sweep everything. If this is the case, no matter how many people there are, there won't be enough for the bandits to kill.
Li Jiucheng was very angry. It was already the third day. Although the loss was less than 1,500 people, the key problem was that he had not touched the bandits. After so many years of fighting, he had never been so useless. Li Yuanqing and others also looked
How could you not be disheartened when the triangular shield array that was defeated and carefully prepared ended up like this? Witnessing the tragedy with his own eyes, Huang Qiyang's lips turned blue. Facing the huge knife, the soldiers were like a group of ants, without any
The slightest ability to resist.
"General Li... what should I do?" Several generals are all a little numb. They are not saying they are afraid of death, but they don't know how to face this knife. Such a fast and powerful killing weapon, you can do whatever you want.
No matter how high you are, if you hit it, your head will be dislocated.
Li Jiucheng frowned and clenched his fists tightly. After a long time, he looked at the commanders and said coldly, "Li Yuanqing listens to the order. I will give you two thousand soldiers and horses to form a shield formation. I will definitely
We must capture the high ground of Tianzhu Mountain for my general."
"What?" Several commanders were all stunned. The general was extremely stimulated. That knife was simply a nightmare for the soldiers. Hundreds of people were poisoned in the blink of an eye, and they had to send people up. Isn't this a way to die?
?Li Yuanqing took a deep look and raised his hands seriously, "General, I will lead the troops up now."
Li Yuanqing knew Li Jiucheng very well, and Li Jiucheng was not the kind of impulsive person. In fact, Li Jiucheng also had his own considerations. The knife was indeed very lethal, but he also saw that the knife was very heavy and required a long time to prepare.
Okay, it cannot be used repeatedly in a short period of time, which means that now is the best time to attack.
The guillotine that appears in the Tianzhu Mountain highlands is also called the iron monster guillotine. It was originally used by herdsmen to dig out rocks. The guillotine is hung on a thick and long iron chain and uses the inertia of falling from high places to hit the target.
Since the gate knife itself weighs about one hundred kilograms and is ground very sharp on both sides, when the gate knife is put down, gravel will often fly away. When Zhao Lin was observing the highlands of Tianzhu Mountain, he suddenly had the idea to build this kind of gate.
The knife was used in highland defensive battles.
A year ago, Zhao Lin once used a knife to block the attack of the imperial army. A large knife was like a monster. Wherever it went, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Facing the high ground of Tianzhu Mountain, the imperial army was stunned for six days.
Time is running out. If someone hadn't attacked from the west, Zhao Lin would have been confident that he could directly block the imperial army from Tianzhu Mountain. Zhao Lin's sword offensive once brought great fear to the local soldiers and horses in Shaanxi.
It was because of these that Zhao Lin was reused by Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong was a very smart man, and he knew that such a strong general would be useful sooner or later. Zhao Lin was equally confident in guarding Tianzhu Mountain.
The shield formation offensive of the officers and soldiers was vulnerable in front of the sword. Seeing the blood and minced meat on the ground, the bandits became more confident and raised their arms and shouted. Zhao Lin was also very happy. If he could further kill the officers and soldiers, he would be among the rebels.
Will have a higher status. Everything was as Zhao Lin expected. When the knife created a terrifying scene, the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain were shocked. From a distance, they could feel the panic coming from them. Maybe
, this day's battle should be over. After the officers and soldiers suffered a heavy blow, I am afraid they will not continue to attack.
Others, seeing the power of the knife for the first time, couldn't help but feel a little numb. Many people had looked down upon Zhao Lin before. They always thought that Zhao Lin was taciturn and languid. I didn't expect this guy to kill people.
Come on, no different from a wild beast. Luo Tao came up to say congratulations, Zhao Lin nodded lightly, and planned to return to the castle to think about tomorrow's defense. Just two steps away, the crowd who were still shouting suddenly let out an exclamation,
"Look, what's going on? Are the officers and soldiers not afraid of death and want to continue to attack?"
Zhao Lin shivered all over. As the founder of the knife-killing weapon, he was well aware of the flaws of the knife. This thing was powerful, but it could not be reused in a short period of time. After it was used once, everyone must work together to pass it.
The iron chain can only pull the guillotine back. In the past, as long as the guillotine was used, the opponent would retreat in the face of the horrific and bloody scene, so Zhao Lin did not prepare too many guillotines at all. There were only three guillotines on the entire gentle slope.
We have reached our limit, and we can't pretend any more. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect that the officers and soldiers would be so unafraid of death. The flesh and blood they had just been chopped off by the knife would fly everywhere, and then they would attack again.
Hearing the calls of the soldiers, Zhao Lin, Luo Tao and others quickly turned around and looked down from a high place. They saw rows of soldiers under the high ground holding up their shields again and advancing up the gentle slope in a long snake formation.
The officers and soldiers generals stood in the middle of the team, with long swords raised in their hands, and their eyes were full of determination. Zhao Lin and Luo Tao's scalps were a little numb. Zhao Lin bit the corner of his mouth and said in disbelief, "The officers and soldiers are crazy, aren't they afraid of the knife?"
?”
Zhao Lin was in a bad mood. If the officers and soldiers attacked quickly enough, it would be too late to retract the first knife. With the remaining two knifes, it seemed difficult to block the officers and soldiers' attack. After a rough observation, the officers and soldiers found that this time
More troops were invested than last time. Five long snake formations stood aside and slowly rushed upwards. Due to the fearless and fearless style of the Eastern soldiers, many people were shocked and dazed, and many peasant army brothers stared blankly.
Yes, he actually forgot to throw the rolling stone. Seeing the black-armored soldier rushing up the gentle slope with his shield, Zhao Lin pulled out his broad sword and yelled, "What are you doing in a daze? Throwing the rolling stone, Nu Beiya, let go quickly."
People take the knife back."
Some people hurriedly ran to the high ground and ordered hundreds of peasant soldiers to pull back the chains. However, when everyone was in a panic, how could it be so easy to take back the knife?
During the previous attack, Li Yuanqing had already figured out the trick. The more than 2,000 death squads rushed forward closely to the edge. The rolling stones could not cause any damage at all. After gaining experience, Li Yuanqing's men were much faster and soon came.
We arrived at the horrific scene of the knife attack. The feet were covered with broken meat and stones, and the blood was pungent. At this time, the first knife had not been withdrawn. How could Li Yuanqing let the bandits launch a second wave of knife offensive? With a wave of the steel knife, high
He yelled, "Pull the knife over and jam it into the crack in the mountain. If the thieves are strong and capable, they will tear out a big hole in the crack."
What the officers and soldiers had to do was very simple. Under the cover of shields, more than 20 soldiers grabbed the iron chain and threw it into the crack of the mountain. The sword fell on the edge of the cliff and dangled. The rogue bandits on the high ground fought hard.
He tried to pull the knife upwards, but it got stuck in the crevice of the mountain. He could not pull it back even if he tried to pull it out. Li Yuanqing didn't care too much. After the first knife became ineffective, he immediately jumped up.
, but he also learned to be smart. After the bandit prepared the first sword, he would prepare the second and third swords, so there were five rows of shields and long snake formations, deliberately widening the distance, even if the old man launched a new round.
A sword offensive will not result in the annihilation of the entire army.
Seeing the officers and soldiers getting closer and closer, Zhao Lin's eyes turned red with anxiety. The officers and soldiers deliberately distanced themselves, making it clear that they wanted to sacrifice the lives of a small number of soldiers and deceive the remaining swords. The swords were not easy to prepare, so they just killed them.
With dozens of enemy troops, the effect was too small. However, if the knife was not released, the officers and soldiers really attacked. Now the knife cannot be used easily, rolling stones have little effect, and bows and arrows are even less effective. Luo Tao is anxious
He was anxious and said, "Isn't there a big knife? Put down the knife quickly and kill the officers and soldiers. Once they rush up, it will be difficult to drive them back."
Gao Tengya was about to release the second knife, but Zhao Lin firmly refused, "No, the officers and soldiers are obviously on guard. It doesn't make much sense to release the knife at this time. Luo Tao, immediately organized people to rush forward, and the soldiers were close.
Fight with your own body and knock down the officers and soldiers."
Luo Tao stared, but still did not dare to disobey Zhao Lin's order. Zhao Lin was the person in charge of the defense of Tianzhu Mountain. Li Yuanqing did not expect that the rogue bandits would engage in hand-to-hand combat. When they were about ten feet away from the top of the highland, the peasant army soldiers
He rushed down from a high place and was in front of him in the blink of an eye. Although he was a little surprised, Li Yuanqing was still very happy. He could fight head-on and no longer had to be prepared for the sword coming at any time. Luo Tao only sent 400 soldiers.
, completely blocking the entire gentle slope. In order to stop the rogues, the soldiers could only line up in a row and use shields to block the rogues' swords and guns. The rogues were condescending, but they could not break through the shield defense in a short time, and for a while the two sides were in a stalemate.
Below the high ground, seeing that the two sides had begun to engage in hand-to-hand combat, Li Jiuzheng immediately rushed up with most of his troops and took this opportunity to directly capture the high ground. Due to the gentle slope and high ground, the two sides were fighting together, so the bandits could not use rolling stones, and arrows could not be fired.
They didn't dare to place them randomly, so the main force of the officers and soldiers did not need too many shields to defend them. They rushed very fast, and they joined forces with Li Yuanqing's soldiers and horses in just one stick of incense. How could the gentle slope be so wide?
The soldiers and horses could only wait behind. The number of people was getting larger and larger, and the shield-hands pushed up, so the bandits could only retreat a little bit. Zhao Lin calmly observed the changes on the battlefield and visually measured the distance. Finally, he suddenly
He raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Let everyone withdraw quickly and release the knife!"
The soldiers of the Peasant Army were very obedient. As soon as they heard the order to retreat, they ran back. They knew the power of the knife. When it fell, it could be used without distinguishing between the enemy and ourselves. Seeing the Queen of the Rogue Cang, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but grab it.
, he instinctively felt that something bad was happening, so he shouted in panic, "Get out of here, people behind you, get out, hurry up!"
Due to the previous melee, the stone steps are now filled with dense soldiers. Although the gentle slope is relatively wide, it is still a bit narrow for thousands of soldiers. It is not that easy to react quickly. My heart trembled.
, there was a clanging sound in his ears, a crash, a huge boulder was smashed into pieces, the gravel fell, and a huge black shadow was thrown over. Li Yuanqing's eyes widened, and he forgot to speak for a while, such a big knife, bigger than
The knife that I saw just now was twice as big. Oh, the sharp knife was thrown along the gentle slope. There was a mist of blood in front of my eyes. The stumps fell to the ground, and all the intestines and internal organs fell down with a splash, as if there had been a scene.
Red rain of blood. All the soldiers two feet away in front were wiped clean. Only a few soldiers reacted quickly and climbed up the cliff to escape. The previous close-quarters melee resulted in excessive concentration of troops, and the entire gentle slope was full of people.
Nearly a thousand soldiers gathered in the place where the knife slashed. The huge knife swept over, erasing everything, leaving a wide and long red road to purgatory.
Li Yuanqing was used to seeing life and death, but his hands could not help but tremble. His eyes were all red, and the road ahead had turned into a road of meat sauce. When the sword passed by, many soldiers were already jealous, especially Li Yuanqing. He
He personally held up the triangular shield and roared hysterically, "Hold the shield, and the people behind separate and rush forward. I will not return until I kill you on the high ground today."
"Kill" has rushed to this point, and watched helplessly as countless soldiers were instantly disfigured. As long as they didn't collapse, they would become crazy. Li Yuanqing led a group of madmen and continued to charge upward. At this time, the formation was already a bit chaotic.
But the shield was still strong enough, and the shouts came and went like waves, making the people on the high ground turn pale. Zhao Lin frowned in disbelief. If it had been another opponent, such a tragic scene would have happened, and he should have retreated long ago.
But the officers and soldiers became even more crazy.
In the final analysis, Zhao Lin and even many bandits did not understand the officers and soldiers. To be precise, they did not understand Li Yuanqing and Li Jiucheng. If they had truly understood them, they would have known that these two men were ruthless men who came out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Bang.
With a loud bang, a soldier was hit by a rolling stone and his chest was dented, but this could not stop the advancing torrent at all. Zhao Lin could not calm down at this time. He shouted in panic, "The knife... the gate
