Traveler Major League

Chapter 31

Inside and outside the wall of the village are mobs, purely pecking at each other, all are infantry, without golden drums and horns, and no serious weapons, let alone armor.

I saw two platoons of more than 30 people attacking the village from the two wings. Just after walking more than 20 steps outside the wall of the village, I heard a loud roar.

"shoot!"

Suddenly three arrows were shot from the wall of the stronghold, nailed into the crowd, knocked down two soldiers who rushed to the front and escaped from the shield cover, and at the same time, a piece of stone flew out, hitting the shield and the crowd, After a while of howling and howling, both platoons returned to their positions.

From a distance, Liu Ze saw that the crowd on the wall of the village did not throw stones directly with their hands, but with sticks with ropes and leather pockets, and blurted out: "Floating stones!" Can come across this thing.

It is also recorded in the "Country Guard Utensils" in Volume [-] of "Wu Bei Ji Yao Sequel": Each bamboo is five feet long.There are two strands of long rope, one end is tied to the bamboo, the other end is used with a ring, and the middle of the rope is divided into a leather bag with a diameter of five inches.It is suitable for defending the city, and floating stones are easy to get, but the hand is not far away. Using this method, it can be far and heavy.It is necessary to practice anger at ordinary times, and it is good to send out.

Cheng Mo, who was at the side, heard Liu Ze's surprised question, and explained: "It's just a floating stone, something commonly used in rural weapon fighting..." He also swallowed the words rare and strange, and turned his head to look at the battlefield , the good news is that Piaoshi cannot break armor, and the bad news is that Liu Ze and others have no armor.

The two wounded soldiers who were shot by the arrows lay on the ground and wailed, and those who were hit by the floating stones when they retreated were also bloodied. Everyone looked at the small village within reach with horror on their faces.

This is too bad, there are no long-range weapons in our team. Hearing all kinds of strange noises from the village again, Liu Ze clenched his fists and took a deep breath. Now, under limited conditions, it is better to use a spear thrower, which is more conducive to long-range shooting up to 40 meters, and skilled people can hit pheasants from [-] meters away.

The spear thrower is usually made of a 30-150 cm long wooden, bamboo, bone or wood plank, with a finger groove on the grip, and a small protruding branch on the other end as the bottom bracket of the spear shaft. The principle is to use the lever principle of extending the arm length of the spear thrower to increase the initial velocity of the spear when it is thrown, and improve the range and lethality of the spear. However, this In an emergency, the kingly way is to use a bow, arrow and musket.

Moreover, the spear thrower also requires a lot of training to use it proficiently.

After calming down and not thinking about these messes anymore, Liu Ze beckoned to Wang Shanbao.

"Shanbao, you send someone to take my explosive bag, now you start to attack, gather all the wooden shields for you, make sure to cover the explosive bag and throw it at the gate of the village, blow open the door, let's rush in, rush in Tell the villagers, Surrender to avoid death! Kneel down to avoid death!"

"Follow orders!" Wang Shanbao led the men forward with the explosive packs, as if they were death-defying.

Standing behind Liu Ze, Cheng Mo and Guo Shunwang saw Wang Shanbao like this, shrunk their heads, and took a few steps back furtively, as if they were afraid that Liu Ze would call them.

After all, this was the first battle, and the first row still rushed forward without any formation, only to see three more long arrows shot out, and a stone flew over first.With three screams from Ah, three more soldiers who were not hiding behind the shield were brought down.

The line in a row became even more chaotic, some of them hesitated to retreat, some of them froze in place and did not dare to move, only Wang Shanbao kept rushing towards the gate with a dozen people holding a wooden shield, Wang Shanbao went He shouted to follow, but the surroundings were too chaotic, and the wailing noise drowned out his words.

Liu Ze could only watch him open his mouth and keep yelling from a distance, secretly anxious, but he couldn't fly over to help him immediately, because there were more important things Liu Ze needed to do, such as responding to sudden situations and stabilizing the rear People wait.

Seeing Wang Shanbao's bravery, several soldiers who were stunned rushed forward. They covered Wang Shanbao with wooden shields and moved forward. They retreated quickly after seeing Wang Shanbao ignite the explosive package.

With the ignition of the fuse of the explosive package, there was a "boom", and a big hole was blasted into the wooden door.

"Brothers, the opportunity to perform meritorious service has come, for the sake of the poor peasants! Come with me!" Liu Ze saw that it was done, drew his waist knife with his right hand, and shouted to the surroundings with his left hand holding a wooden shield. In an instant, everyone, regardless of age Young, eyes full of desire for victory, rushed forward with Liu Ze.

After rushing past Xiaoyan, Wang Shanbao gave a shield attack to Zhuang Ding, who was still in a daze at the gate of the village. The man was knocked a few meters away, and then hit the sharp fence behind him. He let out a scream and passed out. , A javelin in his right hand came out and shot in the chest of another man holding a rake. The man was holding the javelin in both hands, blood flowed from his mouth, before he could pull it out, he whimpered and fell to the ground Can't move.

At this time, a Tie Fork stabbed at Wang Shanbao from the front, and it was about to succeed. A javelin from behind shot through the gap at the root of Zhuang Ding's thigh with a whoosh, and the Tie Fork didn't want that man either. , turned and ran away in fright.

"Kill! Kneel down to avoid death!" Wang Shanbao broke out in a cold sweat, but when he saw someone fleeing from the opposite side, he seized the opportunity and shouted again and again.

Several times of "Puff puff puff" the wooden gun pierced the human body, making a toothache sound. The flat four-meter long gun was inserted from both sides of Wang Shanbao, and several Zhuang Ding were knocked down. A perfect line of parabolic blood was sprayed out of the solid wooden gun head, which sprayed Wang Shanbao's face.

Wang Shanbao didn't know it, he was still shouting with all his strength, this one meeting killed four people, Zhuang Ding on the opposite side uttered a cry, then completely lost the sense of resistance, and scattered like birds and beasts.

But the third master suddenly bumped over from the side of the long gun with a few cronies. He was originally directing the archery attack from the top of the wall. When he saw gunpowder blowing up the door, he felt bad.

So he quickly brought people over to block the gate, just in time for the gatekeeper Zhuang Ding to be assassinated and fell to the ground. Before the spear was inserted into the body, he quickly chopped it in the middle of the long wooden spear with a knife, and slashed back along the barrel of the spear.

"Ouch" screamed a few times, although the gunman let go quickly, but he still didn't dodge, his palms were cut, and the bones of Bai Sensen's hands were exposed, and then the blood covered the bones.

Seeing this, the few behind with javelins rushed forward and shot at the third master. The third master was also very responsive, and quickly jumped to the side, avoiding the javelin, but his cronies were not so lucky. Two were killed and one was seriously injured.

The third master is completely in trouble now. If the gate cannot be gathered in a short period of time, once the militiamen are poured in, even the gods will be hard to save. The third master shouted and yelled at the remaining few cronies :"rush!"

Those few people were really obedient, and greeted the pikemen with the guys in their hands. The third master saw that the opponent was holding a shield in front of him, so he slammed into the side along the wall, intending to use Brute force to knock the shield away.

Fortunately, the third master succeeded, but sadly, the shield was knocked open, but several spears pierced out from the gap in the back row and went straight into his abdomen.

Coughing up blood, the knife in his hand fell to the ground weakly, and his legs were about to collapse as soon as his legs softened. At this time, the four-meter-long wooden gun pushed forward forcefully, and directly lifted the body of the third master and smashed the surrounding area. In the crowd behind, blood streaked across the sky, and the strong men exclaimed and completely collapsed.

"The third master is dead! The third master is dead!" the strong men shouted.

At this time, the Zhuang Ding who were originally on the wall of the stronghold completely lost the courage to resist, and fell to their knees one after another, choosing to surrender.

The soldiers in the first row, whether they were standing behind in a daze or dawdling to retreat, saw that the other side had collapsed, and immediately regained their spirits, shouting together and rushing into the village. beat.

Wang Shanbao, who was still commanding the collection of weapons and binding the prisoners with blood on his face, saw that Liu Ze also rushed in with someone, and hurried forward and asked, "Commander, did we not embarrass you?"

Liu Ze nodded, wiped off the blood with his sleeve and said, "Good job, gather all the villagers now, let's treat the wounded and sick, and then hold a meeting!"
