The officers took the lead. This was the first time for the horsemen to see it. The alley with its mouth wide open like a tiger's mouth didn't seem so scary anymore. Soon a team surpassed Su Jin's ten-man team and reached the front. High-speed update
Zhao Dutou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "At last, these bastards still know some rules. If the envoy is allowed to explore the road ahead, as long as there is an ambush on the beams on both sides, and a rain of arrows suddenly rains down, then what will happen?"
Even the envoy and his own life have to be sacrificed here. The envoy is too courageous and seems not to understand the common sense of army attack."
However, it turns out that the other party's IQ is not as high as Zhao Dutou imagined. Except for the auspicious beast between the ridges of the roof, there is no one in the dark towering beams. On the contrary, the order given by the special envoy was wise.
pole.
The envoy asked everyone to dismount and walk. Everyone was still a little confused. They always felt so uncomfortable after leaving the warm belly of the horse. However, after entering the alley thirty steps, all the Imperial Army squads secretly admired the envoy.
My lord's foresight.
I saw piles of tables, chairs and miscellaneous things piled up in the alley. There was a mess of everything. I was accidentally stopped by a pile of dark things in front of me. From time to time, I heard the sound of pieces of porcelain being crushed by riding boots under my feet.
"You have to ride a horse in here. You won't be able to move even an inch, and all the hoofs of the horses will be cut. These horses are precious. Injuring a horse is more painful than injuring a person. It makes you look far ahead. I really am not like you."
What humans can compare to.
…
The fighting at the North Hutong entrance has been fierce. There are nearly 400 people in the Longhu Gate three miles from the north entrance. Zhang Long only has 70 horse troops in his hands. If he hadn't relied on long-distance shooting with bows and arrows, he would have been broken through the defense line long ago.
The bad thing about the people of Longhumen is that they have no long-range weapons. The daggers and clubs in their hands are more than enough to bully the people during the day, but they are useless if they can't reach the entrance of the alley.
After several consecutive charges, more than 20 people were killed by the opponent's arrows. The people of Longhumen had to retreat again. No one was willing to be the scapegoat who blocked the arrows. After all, they were not an army, and most of them were still
Seeing death so close to me for the first time, I naturally lost my usual spirit of dragon and tiger, and became frightened.
"Second Senior Brother, what should we do? We can't get out if we rush like this. Without the determination to fight to the death, no matter how many people there are, they will be nothing but scattered sand."
Ma Ming'er stared bitterly at the figure of the horse army standing behind the bonfire at the other end. He knew that he could not delay any longer. There were still seventy or eighty horse soldiers behind him at the entrance of the south alley. Once they attacked and were attacked from both sides, it would be troublesome.
"Tell the brothers to move all the quilt tables and tables out of the house. All the other side relies on is bows and arrows. If we put down the tables and tables and hide behind them and push forward, they will have no choice. As long as we can get close, we can rush forward."
Out."
"What a great idea, why didn't you say it just now?" Li Laizi complained.
"Who the hell knew that these people were so stupid that they couldn't rush forward at a distance of seventy or eighty steps. This method is stupid. It takes time to move slowly. Isn't this just to rush out quickly?" Ma Ma
Ming'er rolled her eyes at Li Leizi and said aggrievedly.
"Without further delay, brother, let's go and give the orders." Li Leizi quickly stood up and called on everyone to move out desks, coffee tables, quilts, even iron pots, and large grease umbrellas from the houses on both sides.
Basically, it can be used to block arrows.
Everyone also knows that today is a time of life and death, and flesh and blood bodies are naturally unwilling to block the rain of arrows, but with these 'shields', it is different.
So the more than 100 people with shelters took the lead and slowly squirmed forward on the ground with these strange-shaped things. The more than 200 people behind got into a charging posture. Once the people in front and the cavalry army came into contact, they would immediately
Rush up and fire.
The slowly squirming hermit crabs have not been baptized by the arrows of the officers and soldiers, but the more they do it, the more they dare not take it lightly, just like children who know they will be beaten when they make a mistake, but the beating and scolding never come.
At that time, I felt the most frightened, but after the beating and scolding, I felt relieved.
They didn't know that the cavalry soldiers didn't want to fire arrows. The protective capabilities of those strange-shaped bunkers were actually very average. Arrows from such a close distance could penetrate the door panels of these desks and kill people who thought they were safe behind them.
However, the question is, where did the arrows come from? Each of the horse soldiers only carried an arrow pot with more than ten to twenty arrows in it. When the regular horse army was fighting, three arrows were already shot before they were finished.
Entering the stage of hand-to-hand combat, who would have thought that today they would all turn into archers and stand up to deal damage again?
In addition, Zhang Long, who was leading the team, was also a bullshit guy. The opponent charged four times, and he yelled "shoot an arrow" more than twenty times. This guy yelled at the top of his lungs to shoot an arrow, and all the horse troops could only shoot one.
Another shot of arrows. If the opponent hadn't been timid the last time and rushed twenty steps away but then turned around and ran away, it would have been a different situation by now.
"Fire the arrow, what the hell are you waiting for?" Zhang Long rolled his eyes and waited for a long time, but there was no movement behind him. He turned around and cursed with big eyes.
"This... sir, we have no arrows." A horse soldier shook his empty arrow pot and said.
"What?" Zhang Long was dumbfounded.
"Sir, we have no more arrows, they are all empty." The horsemen took off their empty arrow pots and threw them on the ground with a clang.
"How did you become a soldier? How can you fight without enough arrows? This is the first time I have seen such a forbidden army like you." Zhang Long jumped up and down angrily and sarcastically.
All the horsemen rolled their eyes and thought to themselves: This is the first time that I have encountered a commander like you.
"Sir... Zhang, now is not the time to lose your temper. You see they are about to move in front of you. What should you do? Fight or retreat?" A solemn horse soldier asked cautiously.
"Withdraw? You have a good idea. The envoy's order requires us to block this group of people in the alley. If anyone dares to escape, I will chop him up."
"This... subordinate is just asking for Mr. Zhang's instructions, not that he wants to evacuate immediately." The soldier explained quickly.
"I didn't say anything, kill them. If you don't have bows and arrows, don't you still have spears? If you don't have spears, don't you still have sabers and swords? You cavalry army should be able to fight one against three with three weapons each. These guys only have three or four hundred people.
, and you don’t have any weapons that you can handle, so where can they come from?” Zhang Long shouted.
Everyone rolled their eyes again. Equipped with three weapons, is one against three? What kind of fucking logic is this? If everyone is equipped with dozens of small throwing knives, wouldn't it mean that one is against dozens? If matched,
Doesn't it mean that one person can sweep through an army with thousands of caltrops?
"Um... Sir, even if it's one against three, the opponent has nearly 400 people. This is one against five. I'm afraid I can't beat you." Someone murmured.
"What are you afraid of? Master, I'm fighting one against a hundred, didn't you count?" Zhang Long said nonchalantly.
Zhang Long has had enough of this kind of long-range blocking battle. What he likes most is face-to-face fighting. Now is the time to show off his skills. He doesn't care what the horsemen think.
The cavalry soldiers knew that they might not be able to escape this disaster today. How could they withstand an enemy that was several times their size? This was not a wilderness battlefield. They could form cavalry formations and trample them around. Dozens of horses nested at the entrance of a small street.
It's troublesome to even turn around here, how can we sprint? Now we can only fight to the death, how long can we delay? The only hope is that the brothers who were sent by Zhao Dutou just now to inquire about the news quickly go back and bring reinforcements for rescue.
Zhang Long turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to draw the sword from his waist and stood in the middle of the street with his arms crossed. He looked so fearless that the soldiers of the horse army had no choice but to dismount and stand beside him, although they complained that this man did not know how to adapt.
, this time I am afraid that everyone will be implicated to death, but I am impressed by this person's bachelor. He is not afraid of powerful enemies. He is either a fool or a hero. I only hope that this person is the latter.
The people in the Longhumen who were living in their shells and moving forward did not wait for the baptism of bows and arrows for a long time. However, some people boldly took a look and saw that all of them were dismounted and standing on the road, waiting for their arrival. No one was bending their bows to take aim.
, this person understood immediately, and shouted sharply: "The officers and soldiers are out of arrows, brothers, charge."
Everyone was doubtful and stuck their heads out like turtles. They were overjoyed and jumped out of their hiding places one by one, roaring and rushing forward with swords, guns, clubs and daggers in hand.
Ma Ming'er and Li Leizi, who were holding the battle at the back, were even more overjoyed. They shouted loudly to the people around them: "Brothers of Longhumen, the chance of survival is at the front. Rush up and chop off the dozens of dog officers and soldiers.
Let’s fight our way out of the city and go up the mountain to become kings of the mountain.”
The shouts were like thunder, the crowd was furious, and they rushed toward the entrance of the alley with howls of joy. Everyone knew that rushing out of the entrance of the alley was the paradise world, and staying here was staying in the eighteenth level of hell. The alley
The few piles of fire lit in the mouth are the beacons guiding the direction of the Paradise.
Looking at the people swarming forward, Li Leizi and Ma Ming'er looked at each other, sighed, and secretly shouted that they were lucky, God bless them, Bodhisattva bless them, if nothing happens, they can escape today.
