I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 51 The Hammer Giant (for collection, for further reading)

After half an hour.

Marching quickly put on armor, under the leadership of Captain Xu, went down the mountain, passed the earthen wall of Siyang Town, and arrived at a residential house near Liujiabao, where he hid.

"Is there a sharpshooter?"

"Shoot the two martial artists on the sentry tower to death."

County Captain Xu turned his head and glanced at the dozen or so military officers behind him.

At this time, they were about six or seven hundred steps away from Liujiabao.

At this distance, only a sharpshooter in the army can shoot the two martial artists who are watching the sentry tower to death with a five-stone hard bow.

Even if ordinary people are accurate enough, it is difficult for them to have such great strength.

More than a dozen military officers looked at each other.

Although they are good at martial arts, their shooting skills and strength are not enough to kill people with six hundred steps.

Five-stone hard bows, generally only martial arts masters can reach this level.

"The final general is willing to go." Seeing this, Wei Tu didn't talk nonsense, and after bowing to Xu Xianwei, he took over the task.

After Xuan and Lou Yi said goodbye back then, Fu Zhizhou asked the three righteous brothers to refine their martial arts and secretly train their soldiers, in order to make meritorious deeds on this day.

Wei Tu took down the five-stone hard bow from the Qingcong horse, bent the bow and set up an arrow, aiming at the two martial artists on the Liujiabao sentry tower.

He shot an arrow first.

During the sound of the strings, he turned over again, changed his direction, turned the bow to his right hand, then pulled the string with his left hand, and shot another arrow.

Two arrows one forward and one behind.

Instantly.

In the middle of the chests of the two warriors patrolling the sentry tower.

"Shooting the bow left and right, the guard envoys are superb at archery! After capturing the Liujiabao this time, I will give the guard envoys a great credit!"

Seeing Wei Tu's shooting skills, County Captain Xu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to praise him.

He used to be a martial artist, or a martial arts examiner, but because he has been an official for a long time, he neglected to practice, and his flesh came back to life, so now he can't draw a strong bow.

The martial artist watching the sentry is dead.

Seeing this situation, more than a dozen military officers did not hesitate, and immediately ordered their own soldiers to attack Liujiabao according to the previous deployment of Xu County Lieutenant.

Including Wei Fei.

Wei Fei, the "captain coach", still has a bit of a face in front of Xu Xianwei, and this time he also led a team of soldiers.

As for Wei Tu, who had just shot two arrows, after seeing this scene, his eyes flickered a few times, he used his internal strength to force sweat from his forehead, and then panted heavily, pretending to be exhausted, and fell behind.

Opening a five-stone hard bow is already laborious, and his performance like this will not arouse suspicion.

It wasn't until a dozen or so military officers rushed into Liujiabao for more than a dozen breaths that Wei Tu raised his golden back saber and followed the soldiers behind him to go in together.

This time he shot and killed the two martial artists in the sentry tower, and he made a great contribution, which is no less than the first achievement in attacking the city.

Well, right now, it would be bad for him to attack Liujiabao with other military officers and take credit for it.

Will be hated!
Second.

Next year's provincial examination is coming soon.

If you pass the provincial examination and become a martial arts examiner, you can be awarded the rank of seventh and eighth rank military officer.

Today, these military officers have done meritorious service, but at most they have been promoted two or three ranks, and they are still classified as miscellaneous officials.

How could it be better for him to become a martial artist and become an official.

The last point is that swords and guns have no eyes, and the battle situation in Liujiabao still does not know how it will proceed...

Falling behind everyone, he can adapt to the situation. If there is a strong enemy, he can retreat immediately to ensure his life.

Wei Tu knew that he became a military officer to improve his status, not to serve Zheng Guo's court to death.

"Since the envoy of the guards is exhausted, then he will be in the rear with this officer..."

After entering Liujiabao, County Captain Xu saw Wei Tu panting, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, County Captain." Hearing these words, Wei Tu stopped being tough and stepped back immediately, standing behind County Captain Xu, acting as a bodyguard.

At this time, Wei Tu had time to observe the battlefield in Liujiabao.

Although the marching army was a mob, under the leadership of more than a dozen military officers, they marched step by step towards the interior of Liujiabao with round shields in hand.

And inside Liujiabao's house, a few burly men would emerge from time to time, armed with weapons, fighting towards the battle formation.

But even though these burly men had the strength to tear tigers and leopards alive and kill galloping horses, they were gradually exhausted after killing a few soldiers under the siege of the shield formation.

The advance of the Xiang army was like a broken bamboo.

Almost no tough opponents were encountered.

however.

Just when everyone in the government thought the dust had settled.

A giant man with muscles all over his body, wearing black armour, and carrying a big hammer came out of the living room. He glanced at the officers and soldiers forming a formation, and cursed: "The imperial court is getting worse and worse. Attacking and killing in the dark is against the righteous way!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for anyone to argue, he took the hammer off his back, and smashed it at the officers and soldiers who formed a shield formation ten steps away from him.

clang!clang!clang!
The round shield was instantly shattered by the terrifying force, and the head of the leading soldier was directly smashed by the hammer, and the red and white blood flowed all over the ground.

Other soldiers, if they touch the hammer even a little bit, will be thrown flying more than ten feet high in an instant.

A few face-to-face efforts.

Thirty or forty Xiang army elites died tragically in an instant.

This is even greater damage than the attack on Liujiabao just now.

In addition to the damage, there are also the hearts of those who were defeated by this hammer giant.

The hundreds of soldiers from the Xiang Army from Qingshan County were assembled improvised. If they won the battle, they would not be able to see the difference between them and the real elite.

But at this moment, being frustrated and suffering such a big injury, the morale of the army was instantly unstable.

Many soldiers fled in terror.

"Reform the formation, anyone who dares to escape will not be pardoned!" roared Xu Xianwei, drew out the long knife from his waist, and beheaded a soldier who had fled before the battle.

soon.

More than a dozen escaped soldiers were beheaded one by one by the supervising team.

The morale of the army is for one.

He dealt with the hammer giant in front of him again.

"Don't kill the chief officer. If I am here today, I will be consumed by them sooner or later." The giant man with the hammer stood up holding the hammer, panting slightly, feeling that the officers and soldiers in front of him were difficult.

Just now, he hammered and killed thirty or forty armored and shielded soldiers, which consumed nearly half of his energy. He originally wanted to frighten the officers and soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the chief officer of the officers and soldiers was not an idiot, but stabilized the morale of the army.

"Wei Junshi, this will improve your strength. Later, find the right time." Xu County Lieutenant approached Weitu and whispered.

There are only two ways to deal with the heavy armored infantry armed to the teeth like the hammer giant.

One is to fill it with human life and consume it to death.

The other is to take the time to shoot cold arrows, from the weak point, and kill him with one blow.

"I...try..." Weitu felt helpless when he heard this, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Although his shooting skills are feasible, if he wants to kill the hammer giant, he can only start with his exposed eyes.

On the battlefield, things change rapidly.

This is much more difficult than shooting the two guarding martial artists from [-] paces away.

Staring at the giant hammer's movements, Wei Tu let go of his mind, bent his bow and set an arrow, aimed at the giant hammer's eyes, and shot three arrows in a row.

collapse!collapse!collapse!
Three bowstrings exploded.

but--

The result was unexpected.

Of the three arrows shot by Wei Tu, the first two arrows missed the hammer giant's eye aperture by an inch, and they missed.

But when the last arrow was about to hit, it was blocked by the palm of the hammer giant, and his hands were broken.

"What a sharp archer! Look at my hammer!" The hammer giant shouted angrily, swung his hammer vigorously, and threw it towards Weitu's direction.

The yell of the hammer giant made the eardrums of the people present tear apart, and their ears buzzed.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

But at this moment, Wei Tu, who had just shot three arrows and was about to take a breath, heard the sound of a heavy object tearing the air beside his ears. He was immediately terrified, and without raising his eyes to see what the heavy object was, he immediately moved to the left and rolled vigorously to avoid the blow.

next moment.

There was a bang in the ear.

Wei Tu looked sideways, and saw the heavy hammer that the hammer giant threw towards him with a "clang" and hit the ground.

At the same time, Weitu also felt a faint pain in his right abdomen.

He looked down, and secretly said "It's dangerous".

It turned out that he hadn't completely escaped the heavy blow of the hammer giant just now, but fortunately he had forged fine armor before the battle.

This time, the fine armor and cotton coat he wore helped him withstand the blow.

"In the future, we must never be in the limelight again like today."

"You have to be careful..."

Seeing that he almost died this time, Wei Tu calmed down and warned himself secretly.

If he hadn't reacted in time this time and had made enough preparations before the battle, even if the blow from the giant hammer just now wouldn't have killed him, it would have paralyzed him for the rest of his life, turning him into a cripple.
