Zhu Lingxiu yelled: "Get down quickly, get down quickly, this is a crossbow, it can't be stopped!"
But his voice was already a bit slow. The people outside the formation had never fought in a battle. They didn't know military orders and their reactions were slow. They couldn't execute the tactical discipline at the fastest speed. When they started to lie down on the ground, the people on the other side were already there. There was a sound of a crossbow machine being fired, and a row of fast and silent crossbow arrows came one after another, and in an instant, they hit some men in the front row.
At a distance of about a hundred steps, even if you hold a shield in your hand, you can't resist the crossbow's direct fire. Especially for these men who don't even know how to hold a shield, many of them were killed in the first wave of attacks. Screaming in pain, the palms they were holding on to the shield behind were hit by crossbow bolts that penetrated the wooden surface of the shield. The entire palm was nailed to the shield. The instinctive pain made them put down the shield. Immediately afterwards, the second wave of crossbow arrows followed, and this time, they hit their bodies.
More than thirty young men suddenly had several bloody holes in their bodies. The vital parts of their chests were spurting out blood. But they didn't even have time to groan or scream before they fell to the sky until their bodies were dead. The moment he landed on the ground, the blood on his chest was still rising like a fountain. In an instant, his entire body and the surrounding land within a few feet were dyed blood red.
Many women saw their husbands or fathers being shot directly to the ground. They cried and rushed towards the bodies of these men. They had no battlefield experience and did not even know that their relatives were dead until When they pounced on these corpses, they had no time to mourn for the death of their relatives. A row of crossbow arrows followed, shooting these women so that they fell on their backs and died together with their relatives.
The front line that was relatively stable just now suddenly became a river of blood. Nearly a hundred corpses fell in front. Under such crossbow strikes, these civilians did not have the slightest bit of armor. Almost no one could survive. The injured There were only a few of them, and correspondingly, there were the Tianshi Dao crossbowmen on the opposite side and the wanton and proud laughter of the bandits.
Zhu Lingxiu's eyes were completely red. He took a big bow, strung an arrow, and shot at the monster thieves on the opposite side. However, the range of this arrow could not be compared with that of a powerful crossbow. This arrow was shot and flew hundreds of steps. However, he missed his aim and landed about a step away from a Tianshi Dao crossbowman. Instead of being afraid, this man laughed loudly and even made a gesture to Zhu Lingxiu who was on the arrow tower. What a provocative gesture.
Zhu Lingxiu was so angry that his face turned the color of pig liver. He had never suffered such humiliation since joining the army. His roar echoed around: "Ready your horses, prepare to rush out with me and kill..." ………”
A cold and stern voice came from below: "Lao Zhu, are you crazy?"
This voice was like pouring cold water on Zhu Lingxiu's head, making his frantic heart suddenly calm down. He looked towards where the voice came from, and saw General Tan Daoji, wearing a large robe and armor, climbing up the steps step by step. After boarding the arrow tower, all the surrounding generals saluted him. Zhu Lingxiu looked ashamed and lowered his head and said: "Brother Daoji, I'm sorry, you came just in time, I, I almost violated military discipline, please You punish me."
Tan Daoji sighed and patted his shoulder: "It's really difficult for you. I've been watching. It would be difficult for anyone to swallow this breath. It's our dereliction of duty as soldiers that makes the people suffer like this! "
As he spoke, he saluted emphatically to Wei Liujin, who was standing outside the fence under the tower and had been staring at this place: "Village Chief Wei, I am General Yangwu, Tianmen Prefect Tan Daoji, and the current commander-in-chief of the rear army. I'm sorry. I have done nothing to protect your village and have made you suffer like this. No matter how you scold me or criticize me, I have nothing to say."
Wei Liujin had tears in his eyes and nodded: "General Tan, I have heard of your name and I also know that you are a famous general. I was just being impulsive and spoke a bit harshly, but you are famous and this is where a large army is approaching. , I’m not convinced that the demon thieves are still so arrogant, why can’t our majestic Da Jin do anything to deal with these thieves?!”
There was a burst of laughter from the bandits on the opposite side, and the leader Songfeng Taoist laughed loudly and said: "Old man Wei, don't you understand now? These so-called famous generals of the Jin army are all mixed with water, blowing the sky. Yes, they only dare to fight with Liu Yu. Without Liu Yu, they all become cowards and don't dare to fight at all. At this moment, Tan Daoji still thinks that you are in the way, so he invited us military fathers to block him. He escaped back to the Matou Camp. If you know the truth, come here and kneel down to us to beg for mercy. Maybe our Vice-Cult Leader Xu, because of his good nature, can spare your life and let you join the cult."
Taoist Songfeng was so confident in his words that he actually felt that he was very happy with what he said. He and the bandits around him started laughing again.
Master Heishi smiled while pointing at the crossbowmen around him and said: "Tan, open your dog eyes and take a look. These are the crossbowmen specially sent to us by Master, as well as an army of 10,000 people." , will be coming soon to deal with you. If you don’t dare to come out again, you won’t have a chance to escape. Don’t blame me for not warning you!”
Tan Daoji's eyes flashed coldly and he nodded: "You're right, you demon thief boy. I'm here to deal with you!"
He said, waved his hand, and heard the sound of a heavy arm falling from behind, followed by the sound of rocks flying into the sky, and before his eyes, dozens of rocks the size of watermelons flew across fiercely. He crossed the fence and headed straight towards the bandits and demon thieves who were more than a hundred steps away.
The thieves who were laughing loudly just now soon suffered. Some people wanted to instinctively raise their shields to resist the flying stones, but as soon as they raised them, the stones hit the shields. In the middle, these small wooden shields with one hand will be smashed to pieces, and the sergeants behind will also be smashed to death, and their heads will be bleeding. It is similar to the crossbow arrows in front, that is, almost no wounded will be left behind. , the winner will be killed immediately!
There were even some stones that, after hitting the heads of some bandits and crossbowmen, bounced up again and hit the people around them. The stones that flew more than a hundred steps had strong potential energy and could kill people with just one blow. The second bounce of a human life is enough to break bones and tendons. Now, these bandits and demon thieves can no longer laugh!
