Chapter 44: The Shield That Protects the Kingdom


How to make a coward who is shouting to run away suddenly become a warrior who sees death as if he were home?

The answer is, in front of him, take away what he cherishes!

For example, Zhang Qianren has always had no sympathy, and he doesn't care much about the love of the robe, ten days ago, when Yin Youqing died, he had no pity and felt that he deserved it.When Song Wan died, he sighed twice and forgot about it, giving priority to his own pros and cons in everything, this is Zhang Qianren's character.But on the contrary, when he raised the little milk dog with his own hands and the big black dog that he took with him at any time was killed by Hu Ren, Zhang Qianren, who was originally cowardly, seemed to have changed as a person.He suddenly became crazy, holding a crossbow machine, through the peep hole on the second floor of the beacon, roaring and shooting at the Huns below."

I'm going to avenge the big black!""

I want you to pay for your life!"

It's a pity that the Huns are holding a shield with skin, and the four-stone crossbow made by Zhang Qianren can't penetrate the thick shield.At this time, Han Dangdang and Ren Hong, who were holding the door below, retreated again and again, because the Huns had broken a hole in the door of Fengsui because of the slashing and poking, and it was constantly expanding, and arrows were shot in from time to time outside.Ren Hong retreated to the second layer, took a deep breath and said: "I can't stand it for a long time, the Huns can rush in at any time and meet our short soldiers." ”Lu Guangsu was a little distracted: "Sui, you said that if we wait for two moments, reinforcements will arrive, how long has it been now?"

”"Less than a moment" "So, it will hold on for more than a moment." ”"Can you hold it?"

Lu Guangsu, who had finally stopped the bleeding from the tiger's mouth in his right hand, muttered.Han Dangdang said: "If you can't hold it, it's a dead bird!"

”He suddenly thought of something, and he couldn't laugh for a while: "This broken Sui is really strange, first Liu Suichang was killed by thieves, then Liu Tu, Qian Luluo, and Yin Youqing were all killed, and then Lao Song was captured and killed." ”"Even if we are about to die in battle, the original ten people in Suili are all in order, and they all die unexpectedly, which is really unlucky!

Chief Ren Sui, you came to break Sui to be an official, and you are also stained with our bad luck!

”"Nope."

Ren Hong smiled bitterly: "I think it's because of my bad luck, and you and the others are all affected by me" "It doesn't matter who he is, he will die under the sword of the Huns anyway." ”Han Dangdang laughed, and saw that the Huns below had broken the door, so he just rushed in, so he patted his chest and said, "Come on!"

Lao Han and I can't compare to Zhao Hu'er in long-range shooting, but in hand-to-hand combat, from the Northern Army to the Biansai, I have never been afraid of anyone!

”He threw away the ring knife and replaced it with a sword that was easier to stab at the other party in a narrow area, and abandoned the hook setting, and picked up the largest shield in Fengsuili, which was called "Wu Kui", which was derived from the style of Wu Yue's land, large and flat, and could cover most of the body."

The captain who taught us the skills of the battle formation in the past said that the winding roads are ambushed, and the dangers are thin, and this place of swords and shields is also!

Sui, I'm wearing iron armor, I'll be at the forefront later!

”"I'm with you."

Lu Guangsu also plucked up his courage, tied a slightly smaller double-arc step shield to his right hand, which was injured and could not hold a weapon, and switched to holding a sword in his left hand, standing side by side with Han Dangdang."

I hurt my hand, and it's hard to kill the enemy again, but I can still do it with a shield and block one or two arrows for the second and third sons!"

In this way, the two tallest people in the flint blocked the earthen ladder from the bottom of the beacon to the second floor!

Ren Hong's courage is also strong, or if it is like this, it is all out of the way!

Even Zhang Qianren has started to be a man, how can he coax him?

Then he picked up a spear: "Condescending, not only the sword and shield can come in handy, but the spear can also be used!"

”The spearheads of the Han Dynasty have all been replaced with iron, and the spears are nearly a zhang long, standing on the second floor can poke the door, once stabbing the enemy, you can poke a bloody hole in them."

I'll shoot a crossbow."

Zhang Qianren's eyes were full of resentment, and he stood beside Ren Hong, knelt on one knee, and rewound.Han Dangdang turned his head and laughed: "After the death of the dog, you are like a person." ”"And me" Zhao Hu'er also came down from the top, the Huns had more than one condor shooter, and they put arrows on the top, and they were in danger of being shot through the face of the enemy hole just by peeping at the enemy's hole, so they simply came to the bottom, although he had just pulled dozens of arrows by hand, and was already very tired, but he still held on to untie the short bow, squatted on the top, and aimed at the precarious beacon gate.This is the method they can think of for the longest time, when Li Ling's lone army went deep into the outside of the fortress, encountered the siege of the Hun army, it was relying on the narrow terrain of the mountains and forests, holding halberds and shields in the front, and holding bows and crossbows in the rear, so that they could hold on for a long time.Once, twice, three times, the destruction of the Huns continued, and finally, the entire Fengsui Gate was broken, and a Hun holding a skin round shield rushed in first!

But what greeted him was a crossbow arrow, and Zhang Qianren fired the first shot, but unfortunately it was nailed to the shield, which only made Hu Ren shake.Before the Hu man was secretly happy, a huge shield collided up, the force was so strong, so that he staggered back, just in this gap, a tricky Mitsubishi arrow pierced his eye socket, and above, Zhao Hu'er's bowstring was still trembling slightly and stepping on his corpse, and two more Huns squeezed in not because they were willing to save the gourd baby to save grandpa, but in the narrow beacon door hole, which could only allow two people to enter and exit.Han Dangdang and Lu Guangsu roared, using shields against each other's bodies, the sword in Lao Han's hand also kept stabbing the enemy's unprotected lower body, once the Huns lowered the shield, they would be hit by arrows on their heads, and in the gap between Zhao Hu'er and Zhang Qianren's winding, Ren Hong poked the spear in his hand at the Huns' face, neck, chest or shoulder!

The Huns wore a lot of leather armor, which was difficult to resist the iron spears and arrows of the Han army, not to mention that the bow and arrow were more powerful at close range, and could even penetrate two layers of armor.The weapons they held were either knives with slightly curved spine and suitable for chopping on horses, or small spears with iron handles, called "鋋" chán, which were one inch long and one inch strong, but these two weapons were not able to be used at all because of the lack of distance and the large shield blocked by Han Dangdang.However, the axel can also be used as a javelin, after a Hun enters the doorway, he will hold an iron hammer and throw it at Zhang Qianren!

Zhang Qianren subconsciously turned sideways, but the hammer hit his left shoulder hard, Zhang Qianren let out a cry of pain, and when he fell, he hit Zhao Hu'er in the back, so that his arrow could not be shot.Just when the two people in the back row failed to attack, the Huns had already taken the opportunity to rush in, and the two shield-wielding Hu and Han Dangdang knocked down together, relying on the advantage of the large number of people, and pushed them back with their shields!"

I can't stand it!"

Lu Guangsu was already retreating again and again, and Han Gandang also exerted his strength to eat, blushing, and seeing that the defense line was about to be broken.At this moment, it was Ren Hong who gritted his teeth, clenched the spear tightly, and stabbed forward one by one.The Hu people in front were blocked by Han Dangdang, and the other Hu people behind him were pushed, their heads were stuck in the middle and they couldn't move, so they could only watch Ren Hong stab the spear into the middle of his eyebrows!

The spear was withdrawn and stabbed out again, this time into the chest of another man.But maybe it was too hard, the spear blade was stuck in the ribs, Ren Hong pulled it out twice, and he simply abandoned the spear, picked up the six-stone crossbow, and replaced Zhang Qianren's position.The Huns were so close that Ren Hong could even see their faces with the same anger and fear, as well as the stench coming out of their mouths, and every arrow that went down was a splash of blood.On his iron helmet, he was also hit by an arrow from the Huns, and the huge force made Ren Hong think that he had a concussion, only to feel that his ears were buzzing, and all the screams, exclamations, and wails in the beacon were gone.The arrow cluster was stuck in the gap between the helmet armor, and Ren Hong didn't care, only the crossbow in his hand was left in his eyes, and the enemy in front of him, just like a machine, he wound it up at once, aimed at the target again and again, and pulled the hanging knife.Just like in the past half a month, countless times he practiced against the dead target, Ren Hong did these things numbly and repeatedly, and even counted, several Hu people were shot and killed by himself.I don't know how long the time has passed, half a moment or a moment, one by one the Huns fell, and were dragged back, the ground of the Fengsui Gate Cave has been soaked with blood, becoming extremely slippery, which increases the difficulty of the Huns' attack.But the flint was not having a good time here, Zhang Qianren's left shoulder was injured, and he could only insist on using his right hand to wind the crossbow machine, and then shoot out through the gap.Lu Guangsu was cut in the leg by the Huns' knife and was dragged back, Han Dangdang was exhausted, and he was also scarred when he blocked all the Huns' push and attack with a huge shield.And as the most stable link, Zhao Hu'er's speed of pulling the bow is getting slower and slower, and the strength is getting worse and worse, but the first to lose their fighting spirit is the Huns, who are more numerous, when the casualties reach the twelfth person, they have always seen the advantage of advancing, and the unfavorable retreat They can't stand it, and they retreat one after another, no matter how the hundred cavalry commanders threaten, they don't want to step into the beacon gate hole full of death.Han Dangdang sat on the stairs, the leather of the big shield in his hand was shattered, covered with slash marks, punctures and dense arrows, and old Han had to use his sword to cut off the feathers of the arrow shaft.Ren Hong's hand had been pulled until he cramped, kneeling on the ground in pain, and when he finally recovered, a trace of warm blood flowed from his cheek to his mouth, he stretched out his hand, only to find that at some point, a stream of arrows passed over his face, and a hole was opened, and his handsome face was about to be disfigured.Zhao Hu'er didn't say a word, hid his trembling hand, and touched the quiver on his side, but there was no more arrow.Although there are still a lot of arrows and armor behind him, if the Huns derive forces to attack, the people who break the Sui are already at the end of their strong crossbows, and they probably can't hold on.But they gasped for a long time, but no one outside came in again, only the angry scolding of the Hun hundred horsemen rang out."

What is he swearing?"

Ren Hong couldn't understand the Xiongnu language, his legs had no strength, and he looked back at Zhao Hu'er, who was standing up again.Zhao Hu'er said: "He said that Song Auxiliary was killed by him, the spear pierced his heart, but he deliberately left a breath and let him die in pain, if we want to avenge Lao Song, we will go out and meet him one-on-one." ”Ren Hong grinned: "The method of agitating generals, it's really stupid, so Lao Han will go out." ”Although Han Dangdang gritted his teeth in anger, he still said: "That Hu Jiang really wants to provoke the general, can't he use Chinese?"

Even then, I won't be fooled. ”He threw the sword with a gap and shouted backwards, "Guangsu, if you are still alive, give me a new sword!"

”Lu Guangsu dragged his injured foot and crawled around, still fetching weapons for everyone.As for Zhang Qianren, his shoulder was hit hard by the thrown short spear, and his bones were shattered, although Lu Guangsu stopped the bleeding for him, but the dog breeder had already fainted from the pain.I just don't know that in the last dream of this life, he can dream of the big black who takes the first step.At this time, the Huns outside the beacon came back, but they did not enter the door, but dragged the dead Hu people's corpses out, and threw a pile of firewood and accumulated wages in with their backhands, one after another, until the door was tightly blocked, and finally there was a fire!

Tiny flames scurried around in the dry pyre, leaping from birch bark to red willow branches, then to withered poplar leaves, devouring them, and finally burning into a scorching flame in front of everyone and in Ren Hong's eyes!

In a few acres, within a hundred Han Li, all the beacons and pavilions along the border, as far as the central governor's mansion where the cavalry poured out, can now be seen that an incomparably huge pillar of smoke rises from the broken flint!
