The situation along the way was not much different from what Guo Kang expected. Although the group was very powerful, they were not hindered along the way.
After entering the "Golden Zone", a "Night Watch" patrol met them. Seeing a group of them holding flags and crosses, they came over to question them.
Guo Kang told them that this was a coordinated operation between the Ministry of War and the church to capture the cultists who were plotting rebellion. There was a large group of people following behind because the cultists had been doing evil all year round and offended too many people, so after the church issued the call, everyone was very excited.
The Warmaster's authorized order cannot mobilize the "night watchmen" patrolling the capital, but if there is an emergency in the city, the night watchmen will be dispatched on their own. Therefore, Guo Kang proposed that he hoped that the night watchman team would also take the initiative to join in and help, so that everyone could solve the problem together.
The captain of the night watchman asked who their target was, but Guo Kang just vaguely said that according to the intelligence obtained by the church, the sponsor and general backstage of the cult was a wealthy businessman living in the west of the city. However, the night watchman was very alert and refused without hesitation after hearing what he said. Even if Guo Kang promised to share the battle merits with the war commander's flag, it had no effect.
However, they did not stop him. They just wished Guo Kang and his party a successful mission and asked them not to make too much noise and offend other nobles there, and then left.
This reaction was, to be honest, within Guo Kang's expectation. As a major force in the city, the Night Watchman clearly understands the complexity here and does not want to stand up to others casually. It seems that Guo Kang's prestige is not enough for them to believe in his promise at the risk of offending the big man behind him.
However, on the other hand, Guo Kang is actually very worried about the night watchman. He felt that as local gangsters in the city, it was impossible for these people to be completely unaware of these things. Gangster organizations like Alexander and Sergei have existed for a long time, and they must have the tacit approval or even cover of the Night Watchmen.
The relationship between these forces is complicated, and God knows the depth of their cooperation with Alexander and others. Guo Kang currently has too little information to determine how far they will go for Alexander. Whether he will stand by and watch, or send a message to warn him, or even take the initiative to protect him, it is impossible to estimate.
Guo Kang, on his side, could not stop and let the people disperse and go home, both emotionally and rationally. Therefore, in the worst case scenario, he was ready to kill these people directly and continue the attack.
Although fighting against the defenders in the metropolis seems serious, in the final analysis it still depends on whether they can win. If they successfully complete their plan and eliminate those behind the scenes, then this matter is not serious at all - then it will be enough to say that they are plotting to rebel.
Fortunately, the night watchman is obviously very naughty and doesn't want to get involved in this matter. Even if Guo Kang didn't dare to speak too clearly, they didn't come to ask about the specific situation. They turned around and left, turning a blind eye to the huge team, and continued patrolling.
Everyone continued to move forward without delay.
It wasn't until they were near their destination that they encountered a real enemy.
Alexander's house here is still huge, occupying an entire block between two roads. Although this is a wealthy area, the guards are no more peaceful. On the contrary, they seemed more alert and had much more firepower.
Guo Kang didn't know whether these people had already received the news or were just so alert on weekdays. In short, they react faster.
Guo Kang originally thought that in wealthy areas, these people would be a little more restrained. However, they were still far away. When the leader just turned the corner, someone in the manor fired a gun without any scruples.
The dense explosions of gunpowder shocked the civilians who came with them, and many of them hesitated. However, for those experienced, this is not so scary.
"Follow the flag, follow the flag!" Guo Kang snatched the flag from the flag bearer and waved it himself: "Don't panic, this is a blind spot, they can't hit it!"
After hearing his shouting, everyone calmed down. A few people who rushed too quickly quickly retreated from the street.
"Is everything okay?" Guo Kang asked loudly.
Everyone looked at themselves and felt a little relieved when they found that although the gunfire was fierce, no one was hurt.
To be honest, Guo Kang himself was also a newbie on the battlefield, and he was also shocked by what he saw just now. Fortunately, he recovered quickly and took this opportunity to warn everyone: "Forget it this time, don't run around when fighting in the future! The more chaotic you run, the more dangerous you will be!"
Everyone agreed one after another.
Guo Kang waited for them to restore order and repeated again: "Remember, follow the flag!"
Although there are squad leaders, these people are actually unable to effectively divide the troops. It's not that they are afraid that they will disperse and go home after being sent out, but that these team members and captains are seriously inexperienced. Not to mention adapting to circumstances, it would be great if they can go to the right place.
Moreover, there seemed to be so many enemies here that Guo Kang did not dare to let his men disperse, fearing that if they encountered a difficult enemy, they would be defeated one by one. He simply asked everyone to follow him and found a place to rush in.
To be on the safe side, he asked the knight captain and his men to wait opposite the gate and follow the team at the end to prevent those inside from following them out. But this time, the enemy never rushed out and actively attacked. After some shooting, it stopped.
Guo Kang estimated that they saw too many people outside and wanted to avoid risks. If you go out to attack them, you may end up like the time before. They will first annihilate some of the defenders and then rush in.
This judgment cannot be said to be wrong, but in fact it is exactly what Guo Kang wanted: the group of people he led were not much different from the rabble to be honest. Being able to lead them to move around the battlefield and find the most suitable attack position is already based on their previous prestige and their extraordinary performance.
So, the situation this time is different from last time. If the enemy really came out, it would cause a lot of trouble, interfere with his layout, and even cause the armed residents behind to disperse. And if Sergey had not boasted too much before, Alexander should have people from the regular army under his command. If they haven't degraded too much, they should be able to do it.
The enemy did not dare to come out, but instead allowed him to observe the situation and building structure here without being disturbed, and slowly changed positions with everyone.
The walls of this house are taller and thicker than those of its neighbors. But this also means that no one can stand on the wall. It seems that Alexander did not build other supporting facilities behind the wall, such as the wooden enemy towers often found on the city wall, so that his men could stick their heads out while standing behind the wall. Therefore, this wall actually became a barrier for attackers like them.
"In addition to weapons and armor, we can't control buildings that exceed regulations." Guo Kang said helplessly to Guo Ponu: "If the powerful people in our city were controlled according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty capital, they would probably have one in every two draws. A lot of people escaped..."
There was no other way, so he quickly bypassed the door, found where the side wall was, and took everyone over.
"Who took the pick and shovel?" He bent down, stretched out his hand to explore the soil that was not too strong, and shouted: "Come here, dig quickly! Bring the gunpowder too!"
There was a commotion among the people, and soon several strong men crowded over and began to dig up the base of the wall. A guard also ran over carrying two powder barrels that looked like small wine barrels.
"Aren't we going to go through the main entrance?" Guo Ponu asked.
"It's obviously blocked by the enemy." Guo Kang said briefly: "Look at their defense preparations, which are much better than Sergey's. They obviously didn't just start today. The defense at the gate must be the most complete. place, I guess they are all there.”
"If we had remembered just now, we would have brought a big piece of wood with us." Guo Ponu regretted a little: "It seems that we didn't bring a ladder with us either."
"As it is now, let's forget it." Guo Kang pointed to the people around him: "I don't think I can last long under the opponent's shooting in this state. I guess they will break up if they can't open the door. The ladder..."
Just as he was talking, someone ran over and leaned against the wall, trying to get a ladder up. However, the wall was higher than the two people put it together. The people on top were putting their feet up and barely wanted to jump up. As soon as they stretched out their hands, someone fired an arrow outside. It seemed that the people inside had also rushed to defend themselves.
"Okay, don't turn over." Guo Kang quickly stopped them: "Even if you climb up, you will also be a target for others. And even if you turn over, you will probably fall if you jump. You are not masters of Qinggong. I'm afraid you are not. He was stabbed to death before he even got up. Besides, if more people can’t rush in at once, it’s of no use.”
"Uh..." Several people looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly had another idea.
"Everyone, come and help!" the leader shouted back.
A group of armed residents heard the sound and ran over and started fighting with the wall. After a while, dozens of people gathered, and they lined up side by side on a huge "stage" that was more than ten people wide. Then they started shouting at each other, and soon the second level was stacked. Seeing that there seemed to be a solution here, more people rushed over, stepped on them and started running up.
Guo Kang felt for a moment that these people were engaging in some abstract performance art. However, everyone ignored it and rushed to get closer.
As soon as the person at the front stuck his head out, he was hit by several arrows and fell down, with blood dripping all over the ground. The people following were stunned for a moment and looked back, but at this moment, someone shouted "Revenge! Revenge!" The others suddenly seemed to be stimulated and rushed up in a swarm and jumped down.
Guo Kang heard a few screams and roars, but the others didn't care anymore. The few strong men he called over to poach stopped their work and looked back at him.
"Forget it, stop digging, we'll go too." Guo Kang had no choice but to say. Those few people turned around and ran away, as if they had been granted amnesty, and began to rush upward.
"Boss, boss, shall we go?" asked the young man in the team who had asked Guo Kang a question before.
"Let's put up a personal ladder to prevent the other side from being unable to hold up." Guo Kang said.
Everyone immediately dropped their weapons happily and leaned against the wall.
Although this method is fast, they are not professional acrobats after all. The group of people just now have been trampled to the ground, but there are people behind them to make up for it. If they can't hold on anymore, it means the people inside have lost their backup.
Moreover, Guo Kang originally hoped to blow down a section of the wall to allow everyone to enter and exit freely. None of his soldiers have entered yet. He only relies on the bravery of the residents, and he doesn't know how long they can last.
But before he thought too much, the recruits had already set up their own postures and even began to urge him to hurry up.
"How come there is such a tacit understanding?" Guo Ponu quickly ran over and said with emotion: "Have you really never trained before?"
"No." Someone looked up and said, "But we are all moving goods at the dock, so this matter is not difficult. Just feel free to step over."
Guo Ponu sighed, patted him, and quickly jumped up to the wall. Guo Kang also carried the banner and rushed forward.
After jumping over the wall, he saw that the people below were already lying on the ground. But the guards who arrived here also left several corpses behind, forming a semicircle with their backs against the wall of the main building, and were desperately defending.
Facing the swords they waved, the people in thin clothes hesitated slightly. But before Guo Kang and others could rush over, someone hurt his leg and jumped on him, holding a big wooden stick.
His movements were very clumsy, and he was pierced by the enemy's sword as soon as he stepped forward. However, he let out an inhumanly sharp roar and grabbed the opponent's arm tightly, refusing to let him pull out the sword. The man next to him who was digging the soil immediately raised his pickaxe and swung it down violently.
The man holding the sword was so frightened that he dropped the sword in a hurry and took two steps back. The pickaxe was very powerful, but the movement was not fast, and the swing was empty. The accomplice next to him was well-trained and immediately stepped in to catch up. He swung the knife in his hand horizontally and opened a terrible bone-deep wound on the chest of the strong man holding the pickaxe, causing him to fall to the ground.
But before the knife could be withdrawn, another hoe was swung down from his head, forcing him to dodge sideways. Before he could even stabilize his steps, another person hit him with a sledgehammer.
This time, the user seems more proficient. His body was lean, but the hammer in his hand was steady and accurate, hitting the knife-wielding thug directly.
The man's helmet instantly dented, and no scratches were visible on his head. It seemed that the helmet was of good quality and had a certain buffering and protective effect. However, his neck was not that strong. It was obvious that it could not withstand the blow, and it shrank directly into the chest. Blood flowed from all the orifices, and he fell limply.
In a few breaths, two people were missing, and the semicircle formation was immediately broken. There was a person who seemed to be the leader of the thugs and was still shouting for others to get closer to each other, but there was a young man in the crowd who picked up the pickaxe that had just fallen on the ground. When the leader swung his sword to force everyone back again, he used his flexibility to pounce from the side, holding the pickaxe in both hands, and smashed it hard.
The tip of the pickaxe smashed the shoulder guard directly and was deeply wedged into the body. The leader did not even let out a scream. The remaining people were inspired again and swarmed forward, constantly using tools and even sundries in their hands to beat the enemy to death. Those few people were instantly overwhelmed by the crowd.
By the time Guo Ponu and Guo Kang squeezed in, all the enemies were dead. They shouted for everyone to stop and go to rescue the injured, which brought many people back to their senses.
The young man just now was even smashing the enemy's corpse, and then he sat down on the ground. He looked at the scene next to him, leaned against the wall without any strength, hugged the pickaxe in his hand, and started crying.
"Okay, get up, brother." Guo Kang walked over and stretched out his hand to give him a hand: "The enemy will come soon. It's not safe to sit here."
"Team, captain!" The young man didn't know what to call him. He opened his eyes wide and stuttered, "I, I didn't play well..."
"It's okay. It's much better than when I was there." Guo Kang himself was actually only a few hours ahead of him, but he still pretended to be mature and took the initiative to comfort him.
If there is such a big commotion here, the enemies guarding the gate will definitely come over. I didn't react so quickly, probably because I was afraid that they were pretending to attack here, but were actually preparing to attack the gate. Especially since just now, the people leading the attack were just ordinary armed citizens, which may have deepened this misjudgment.
But this result was actually just an accident. Not to mention them, even Guo Kang himself did not expect that these ordinary people with no training and no weapons and armor could burst out with such a strong will to fight. I don’t know what Alexander and the others usually do, so that even if they suffer heavy casualties, they still have to fight to the death.
Guo Kang turned to call others and asked them to carry the injured away quickly. Although there are no conditions for treatment here, simple hemostasis can still be done.
Although the wounds on the strong man holding the pickaxe were scary, upon closer inspection, they were just flesh wounds. Guo Kang told others that there must be clean water sources and clean cloth in such a mansion, and asked them to rush into the house to search for it. The enemy's main force should be coming from the gate along the road surrounding the residential part, and they will be blocked on his side.
After a large group of people left, he found the man who had sacrificed his life to grab the sword. His abdomen has been pierced, and in this condition, it may be difficult to save him. However, when he saw Guo Kang, the man's eyes lit up again and he raised his hand.
Guo Kang and several people helping him came closer to hear what he had to say.
"Go ahead." Guo Kang leaned down, grabbed his hand, and said.
"Kill..." the injured person whispered: "Kill Alexander. We must kill them..."
Guo Kang was not a professional clergyman and did not know what to say at this time. He thought for a moment, then quickly crossed himself on the other person's chest and assured him: "Don't worry, a warrior like you will definitely go to heaven. Alexander and the others will all go to hell today."
The other party didn't say anything, just blinked, breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped moving.
Guo Kang also sighed, stood up, and looked around again. The people who followed had already carried away all the injured people, but the bodies left behind were still strewn about, and the blood flowing out made scarlet streaks on the ground.
"We have to let them stop. We can't fight like this. The losses will be too great. It's a waste." Guo Kang turned back to Guo Ponu and said, "Let everyone gather quickly. This time we will take the lead."
But Guo Ponu shook his head.
"You can't say this is a waste." She said seriously: "This is a choice they made themselves and a sacrifice they made voluntarily. To say it is a waste would be too insulting to them."
"They have their choice, and I have my choice." Guo Kang also insisted.
"Since ancient times, there has been no war without death. But since I am commanding the battle, I should reduce losses. They are willing to sacrifice, it is their choice; it is my duty to minimize losses. This is not contradictory. "
Guo Ponu was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Alas, my command is not very good..." Guo Kang felt a little depressed, shook his head, raised a flag and summoned his men to go.
Although the battle here proceeds very quickly, the enemy's reaction speed is not slow either. Just now, everyone's behavior of going around looking for supplies may have alerted the people in the main building and caused them to misjudge. But soon, the enemy reacted. A group of people wearing armor rushed towards here.
Guo Kang's men had climbed over the wall and gathered together. While charging here, the enemy threw several large, smoking iron balls.
Guo Ponu waved his hand and threw out an iron dart, knocking one of the darts back directly into the enemy group. Of the other two, one was held down by someone's hand and the match rope was pulled out. Another one fell right next to Guo Kang, was kicked back by him, and rolled to the feet of the enemy.
But in the end, only the one Guo Ponu shot back exploded, and because the enemy had already rushed through, no one was hit at all. As for the one that Guo Kang kicked back, they threw it aside in a hurry. But there was no explosion at all, and the match rope had probably fallen off long ago.
"That's right, he must be from the legion." Guo Ponu said through gritted teeth.
During the reign of Basil III, someone from the Ministry of War researched ancient books and believed that throwing weapons during a charge was an ancient but useful method that could disrupt the enemy's attack formation. In the charge, if the formation becomes unstable, it is easy to be directly defeated.
There are people using things like javelins now. The Spanish mercenaries who had been wreaking havoc in southern Greece had been using this method of combat. It is said that the javelins and daggers of the ancient Romans were learned from the ancient Iberians. Counting it this way, they have been using this trick for almost two thousand years.
However, although the javelin has not yet been completely eliminated, it is somewhat outdated. Therefore, there was a trend at that time: using various explosives instead of javelins for throwing.
To this day, throwing explosives during a charge is a very popular tactic. Some people like to use this kind of spherical iron bomb, which also leads to the rapid revival of the sport of shot put throwing. Some people roll out a long tube from an iron sheet, stuff it with gunpowder, and then attach a wooden tail pole to make it more comfortable to throw. In short, if you see something similar, you will probably know the style.
Of course, the effect of this weapon is actually only average. Just like the previous result, their reliability is very poor, and the detonation time cannot be precisely controlled. The environment on the battlefield is complex. In many cases, explosions on the enemy's side are only possible due to God's blessing.
The main function of these weapons is not so much to kill but to scare people - the Purple Horde often faces large numbers of low-quality troops organized by the enemy, from cheap mercenaries in Western Europe to the free "holy war" organized by the Ottomans By".
Faced with these very poor disciplines, which relied entirely on robbery to maintain morale, an organization more like a bandit than an army could play a better role. If the other party is also a veteran, it will be like just now, with no effect.
Guo Kang's soldiers also began to charge without hesitation, and the two sides collided fiercely.
Guo Kang himself ran over. But the road here is not wide after all, and a dozen people were completely blocked. Both sides were heavily armored and couldn't kill each other for a while. The people behind quickly pressed forward and started attacking each other with halberds and axes; the people in front couldn't even wave their hands away and could only push each other hard. Soon, everyone was huddled together.
He couldn't get to the front line, so he took out the War Commander's flag and shouted from behind: "Are you also legionnaires? Let your leader come out! We are here to capture the cultists under the War Commander's order! The others are now Put down your weapons and you will be exempted from guilt!"
"You led a group of mobs in and killed people, and you said you were a good person!" Someone on the opposite side also shouted: "You are the cult!"
"The church has found evidence. Sergey, who directly performed the ceremony, has been punished! Don't resist any longer!" Guo Kang also wanted to explain, and shouted: "They are all victims of the crimes of the Alexander cult. The church and The Legion will help them uphold justice and let them take revenge. If you don’t want to die in vain, don’t work for those prisoners, it’s not worth it!”
"Damn it, it's none of your business that I use Alexander's money to do things for him!" Someone scolded: "Why are you pretending to be a good person? If you want justice, come and kill yourself!"
"You said it yourself!" Guo Kang was so angry that he took out his pistol and shot the man in the face two or three rows away: "Then I will kill him now!"
The people on both sides were too close, and he stretched out his arms, almost touching the person's face. There was a gunshot, and the person who said the cruel words fell to the ground. The others were also horrified and shouted to the Musketeers to come up quickly.
Guo Kang also turned around and called the new recruits to come over and help.
They used their spears to poke at the opposite side. Although it had no lethality, it still successfully acted as a distraction. Moreover, the two sides have begun to push each other close to each other. Since there are many people here, they naturally have the advantage.
The other party soon couldn't hold on any longer and staggered back. The first few people were pushed to the ground, and everyone immediately cheered and ran forward.
More enemies were pushed down, and even a few of their own people stumbled. The remaining enemies almost immediately began to turn and flee. The people behind them pulled up the unlucky teammates who had been stepped on several times, and used shovels, sledgehammers and even wooden sticks to smash all the fallen enemies to death.
"The enemy has refused to surrender!" Guo Kang ran with the flag and shouted to everyone: "Don't leave anyone alive! Remember, don't leave anyone alive!"
"There will be no interrogation this time?" Guo Ponu asked.
"The evidence is already conclusive." Guo Kang told her: "Since they are not willing to repent, then we don't need to persuade them. If there are fewer people talking nonsense, it might save some trouble later."
Guo Ponu nodded.
"Don't relax, I feel there will be a lot of enemies." She reminded: "This small number of people have been so troublesome just now, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult later. We have to go to the gate first, there must be more people there, what can you do? What?"
Guo Kang actually had no good solution. At this point, I'm afraid I can only fight hard. But after all, he still had to comfort everyone, so he said: "Don't worry, we still have an advantage here."
"Although these ordinary people may not have enough fighting power, when they are led by someone, they can provide us with great support. Otherwise, I would not dare to attack here rashly. As long as we can use our strengths and avoid weaknesses and quickly solve this area, we will not It’s difficult.”
With that said, he followed the others and rushed along the alley towards the gate.
The discipline of his men was really bad - or, in other words, basically no discipline at all. As they ran, the team got longer and longer. Just like last time, it was the citizens without armor who rushed the fastest. Guo Kang yelled for them to stop, but he couldn't call them back.
There was no other way, so Guo Kang had no choice but to speed up. Turning the corner, he saw that a large group of enemies had gathered at the door. However, before he could see the situation clearly, he heard a muffled sound and something hit his chest and legs hard, knocking his body that was still rushing forward to the ground.
Guo Kang felt pain all over his body, but this did not make him lose his ability to think. Instead, he suddenly realized a serious problem. He rolled over quickly and hid behind the stones at the foot of the wall.
His whole body ached in protest at his rough behavior. But Guo Kang still gritted his teeth and pushed himself up and took a look. In front of me, I saw a group of enemies surrounding a small cannon, working hard to reload it.
On the road ahead, his people fell to the ground. Not only ordinary citizens, but also the church prosecutor and his two followers who had just charged together fell in a pool of blood. The large clouds of rubble fired by the artillery were so powerful that even the armor was torn into pieces. Guo Kang was lucky to be too far away, so he was not hit hard.
This is probably the first time Guo Kang's "headquarters" has encountered losses.
He thought back to the person who helped him search for evidence just now and was silent for a moment.
At this moment, a small group of enemies had already taken weapons and started to counterattack, trying to take advantage of this moment and the emptiness in numbers to seize the opportunity to eliminate those who survived the previous shelling.
"Kill all these people!" someone shouted, "Move quickly!"
"The people from the church are coming!" Someone behind them shouted loudly, "We must kill them all and don't let the news get out. Otherwise we will die!"
Just as he was talking, several of them saw Guo Kang poking his head and rushed towards him.
"Hey." Guo Kang retracted his head, picked up the sword, picked up an ax that fell on the ground next to him, and shrank a little behind the foot of the wall, preparing to attack the opponent. He also muttered: "Heavenly Father, can't you let me have less trouble..."
A figure jumped up instantly, holding a spear in his hand. As soon as he met his face, he overturned an enemy. Taking a closer look, he saw that Guo Ponu had lost his helmet and his robe was in tatters, making him look quite embarrassed. She was a little behind him just now, and the situation was probably not much better, but at this moment, she was like an enraged female leopard, roaring and pounced on the enemy. With just one blow, another person's breast shield was shattered, causing him to vomit blood and fall backwards.
The remaining three people raised their spears and stabbed at them. Guo Ponu swung the barrel of the spear and twisted it hard, stirring up all three spear heads. The few people retreated quickly, dispersed from each other, raised their spears again, and wanted to continue the attack.
"The Li family's marksmanship?" Guo Ponu did not follow directly, but glanced at them and asked.
The few people looked at each other, as if they didn't know what to say, so they didn't answer.
"Bah, what kind of bad tricks do you dare to show off?" Guo Ponu spat: "Li Xuanying will do it by himself, I will beat him to tears. You dogs, just accept death!"
Those people were obviously irritated and rushed towards them, roaring. Guo Ponu had a cold face, turned around to dodge the side blow, then turned around and stabbed straight in the face. Before the man could take away his gun and block it, he was stabbed in the face and died on the spot. The remaining two people were already stabbing in front of them. Guo Ponu gave way slightly and swung his spear from behind, slashing across a large semicircle.
The person on the left quickly put away his gun to resist. Guo Ponu roared angrily, broke the barrel of the gun, and hit him on the shoulder, causing him to scream and drop the weapon. The man on the right took a step forward and wanted to stab him again. Guo Kang saw the opportunity and suddenly jumped out from the side. He struck his unprepared hind leg with an axe, causing him to drop the gun and fall down. He then took advantage of the opportunity and chopped off the man with an axe. neck.
When Guo Ponu saw this, he ignored him. Her own spear was on sale, but she simply used it as a flail. With another wave, the gun barrel in front was thrown over, hitting the enemy who had just climbed up until his mouth and nose bled, and he lay back on the ground.
The other enemies were so frightened that they retreated and did not dare to come over. Guo Ponu put down the gun that was already in half, ran back a few steps, and picked up a fire door gun on the ground.
There lay a young man, holding a match in his hand. Guo Ponu knelt down, reached out to touch his wide eyes, and took the match rope over.
"Run, right?" She imitated Guo Kang's aim and pointed the gun at the back of one of them.
"Hey, that's not how you take it!" Guo Kang quickly stopped her.
However, Guo Ponu didn't pay much attention. As soon as the match rope was inserted, there was a loud gunshot and the enemy fell down. However, Guo Ponu also screamed, covered his face, and dropped his gun.
"You..." Guo Kang didn't bother scolding her, jumped over again, grabbed her and moved back behind the stone.
The people behind him also followed at this time, but they did not dare to move forward because they were worried about the firepower. Guo Kang turned around and asked, "Is there any water? Wash her eyes!"
"Leave it alone!" Guo Ponu slapped him hard, covered his eyes with one hand, touched the ground with the other, and picked up the spear dropped by an enemy just now: "Where is the gunner?"
"In front." Guo Kang said.
Guo Ponu stretched out his hand and grabbed his hand: "Point to me the specific place."
Guo Kang didn't know what she meant, so he had to hold her hand and face the enemy in front of him who was holding a matchlock pole and was about to light the cannon.
"How many steps?" Guo Ponu asked.
"About thirty steps." Guo Kang said.
"Don't guess!"
Guo Kang looked over there carefully, stretched out his fingers, compared the heights of the man and the box, and recalled the distance estimating skills taught by his adoptive father when he taught him archery, and finally said: "Thirty-five steps. "
Guo Ponu nodded and pushed him away gently. He gripped the spear tightly, jumped up suddenly, and threw it out.
The man holding the matchlock pole looked back at this side. However, before he could react, the spear flew over and stabbed the man straight through.
There was a cry of exclamation behind Guo Kang, and the enemy was obviously panicked.
"Where's the person who just said he wanted to kill us all? That's a commander. I heard it just now." Guo Ponu's expression did not change, and he still frowned and asked Guo Kang.
Guo Kang understood this time and held her hand again, pointing at a person with a few feathers on his helmet and pulling out a knife to urge her.
"Two steps away." He glanced at the distance between the other party and the corpse and said.
Guo Ponu picked up another spear, weighed it, and then jumped up again. With a roar that broke through the air, the spear hit the enemy again, causing the commander to take two steps back and fall to the ground.
The crowd behind them marveled, and the enemy was even more panicked.
"The water is coming, the water is coming." Father Mikhail's voice rang out. Guo Kang turned around and saw him running over carrying two water bags with a gray face.
Father Mikhail looked around and realized that the injured person seemed to be Guo Ponu. He was surprised: "Miss?! What's wrong?"
"She stared at the gun and fired..." Guo Kang didn't know whether to be angry or distressed for a moment: "You take care of her, I will deal with it over there."
"What are you going to do? Don't be brave!" Guo Ponu said hurriedly.
"Who is trying to be brave?" Guo Kang was speechless. He pressed her down, squatted down, and walked around the stone.
The person on the opposite side immediately took aim here, but Guo Kang lay down on the ground and hid behind the corpse that Guo Ponu had just shot to death. The enemy fired two shots but failed to hit any target. So, Guo Kang pushed the body forward and came to the enemy who was knocked down by Guo Ponu's shot.
This man is actually still alive and breathing heavily. Guo Kang then took out his dagger and stabbed him twice in the neck. The man immediately stopped moving. Guo Kang then piled him on top of the corpse and continued to push it forward.
The enemy started shooting arrows this way. Several of the thrown arrows hit Guo Kang, making a metallic collision sound. Others jumped on the box and tried to shoot him from above. But behind Guo Kang, several people leaned out and shot him down with a round of arrows and lead bullets.
After reaching the diagonally opposite side of the road, Guo Kang stopped with the four corpses in front of him.
The enemies on the opposite side were arguing fiercely, and someone was ordering others not to be cowardly and come out from behind the hiding place. Others asked that the cannon be loaded quickly, and instead of using stones, blast him with whole stone bullets. However, Guo Kang knew that it was already too late.
He himself is one of the leaders of the Khanate's artillery testing ground. He has personally operated all the artillery currently used in the army. He is also very aware of the power and reloading time of this small cannon.
He took out the huge, short and thick "pistol" at his waist, opened the bag again, took out a glass cylinder from the innermost ball of cotton, and stuffed it into the pistol. The cylinder was longer than the barrel. head.
Then, he looked up and glanced at the cannon. After discovering the angle here and being able to see the place where it was placed, he raised the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger.
The spring wheel at the end of the barrel turned, and a spark ignited the charge. But there was so little gunpowder in the gun that it seemed to just push the cylinder out gently.
It drew a parabola, stabilized by a few small wooden wings, and flew towards the several large barrels of gunpowder behind the artillery at a speed far slower than ordinary lead bullets.
The enemy had no idea what this was, and most of them didn't pay much attention when they saw this thing flying over. A few people next to them felt that this thing was a bit dangerous, so it was like dealing with the grenade at the moment, ready to kick it away.
However, at the moment of landing, the glass pillars on the head of the cylinder were broken. The detonation medicine was banged and ignited the fuel in the cylinder.
Others only saw that the enemy's gunpowder was located over there, and a group of fireballs suddenly burst out. Immediately after, those gunpowder was also ignited.
Even in such a far place, Guo Kang could feel a deafening roar, making him feel that his head was rising. Nearby enemies were thrown out like a broken cloth doll. The small cannon was lifted out by Qi waves, and farther away, the enemy who was not in trouble was stunned, and he didn't even respond to escape.
Guo Kang grabbed the flag, lifted up, and shouted, "Chong! Chong!" Then he jumped up, rushing towards the enemy regardless of it.
At the corner, the crowd came out, and the banner of a few mouthfuls followed by that side ran to the enemy.
There are actually a lot of enemies who are still alive, but they seem to be scared, and most people start running backwards. The remaining enemies are still stubborn, but they are drowned in an instant. Guo Kang and others chased them, swept over the main entrance of the wall and the open space behind, and ran all the way to the gate of the main building.
During the period, there were constant shots at the most prominent Guo Kang. He estimated that he had no place to hide at all, and he simply did not care about it, trying his best to rush forward at the fastest speed. He felt that he hit at least one shot during this period, but the enemy's weapon was not too fatal, but he just let him take it down, so he was too lazy to control it.
At the door, another group of enemies raised a spear, and some people shouted behind, trying to gather the defeat. And Guo Kang immediately remembered that he was at the door of the door just now.
He turned his head and saw everyone followed. The building here is a concave -shaped shape, surrounded by lawns and gardens in the middle. There are already enemies that appear from the window on the second and third floors, and it seems to be ready to shoot down.
If it is staying here for a long time, it is a terrain of a living target. Just now they chased these enemies tightly, and other enemies did not dare to shoot randomly. But now, once the two sides are deadlocked, it is difficult to do.
And Guo Kang has no other choice now.
He turned his head and shouted, "Listen! Follow the flag!"
Having said that, he was easily vocal and threw the flag into the enemy at the door. Then picked up the weapon, the head was low, and he hit the spear.
The crowd made a roar of anger or excitement, and rushed up with him. The enemy strives to block and desperately stabs out with a spear. Guo Kang was suffering several times, and some people just stabbed the place where he was hit by the stone, and it was painful.
But in the face of life and death, he gritted his teeth. With the method of teaching himself with the righteous father, he simply gave up the weapon, which was to push it all. For a time, several people opposite the opposite side couldn't stand by him, and began to retreat.
The knights and priests rushed here rushed over. There were enemies from the side, carrying the short sword out, stabbing Guo Kang's legs. Guo Kang had to flash beside him, chopped his backhand ax on him, and split him down. But taking advantage of this opportunity, the enemy also sent a ruthless, fighting against each other, and held them up again, letting them retreat slightly.
At this time, someone jumped out of the crowd, opened his arms long, and rushed straight towards the leap.
He did not have a armor like Guo Kang, and was pierced by several spears for a while. However, what he seemed to want was this effect, and the whole body continued to fall forward, blocking several rows of enemies.
Taking advantage of this moment, the others immediately squeezed in from this gap and used anx, chain and various tools to desperately hit all the enemies they could get. Soon, the enemy in the front row was almost cut down, and the people behind could not support it again, and they were pushed down or fled.
Guo Kang's physical strength was a bit large, and he was almost wrapped in it. He looked down at the man who fluttered into the spear and found that he was the boy who was holding the pick up just now.
Guo Kang pursed his lips with force, and felt that he was not very tired.
After rushing into the hall, everyone began to chase the enemy. The enemies here are indeed very tenacious. Even so, they are still resisting the floor and room one by one.
At the corridor entrance to the second floor, another group of people blocked the way. However, this time, everyone who was familiar with the process began to form the formation proficiently -the two knights were in front, and behind them were a large group of people holding long handle tools. As long as the two sides are deadlocked, they keep taking hoes and iron picks to knock on the enemy's head.
Soon, under the squeezing, the enemies here were also defeated, and all the people who fell would be stepped on by countless legs. The residents behind were chaotic, and even the body had to take off the helmet and smashed their heads to ensure that no one had a chance to survive.
Someone picked up the flag in the hall and handed it to Guo Kang. Guo Kang carried it and ran to the second floor. In front of the banquet hall here, a person with a tall figure waved the hammer and swept out the open space around. A group of residual enemies were surrounded by him, barely supporting.
A knight was lifted back with a grin, saying that his arms were broken. But more people are still running forward.
"Hey, silly big!" Guo Kang shouted, "Do you surrender?"
"Don't surrender!" The big man yelled, making his ears a little shock.
"That's the best." Guo Kang said, "Because you have to die!"
The old man roared, he held his hands with his hands, took a turn, and hit the two out again. Guo Kang is already high, but he is faster than Guo Kang, and his body is thicker. It is estimated that the power cannot fight hard, and Guo Kang rushed to his side while this gap.
The big man immediately smashed the hammer, and the thug also chopped to Guo Kang. However, Guo Kang rolled and flashed over. Instead, the hammer was too heavy, too strong, and could not be collected at all, and smashed directly into the chest. He hurriedly wanted to resist, but even the ribs with a knife were smashed into shape. Seeing that it was not alive.
"Fool!" Guo Kang mocked immediately.
The big man also waved the hammer of his left hand, regardless of the death of the fighter, and hit Guo Kang again. However, Guo Kang flickered again, and hit a puppet who wanted to stop him. This hammer beaten again, landing on the ground, making the big man feel angry, waving faster and faster, smashing the decoration next to it.
Another puppet picked up the sword and stabbed towards Guo Kang. But Guo Kang turned around, kicked him back, hit the big man, so angry that he pushed the man away and chased Guo Kang.
While this kung fu, the others have been holding up.
Lost the cover of each other, and the surrounding thugs were killed for almost a moment. Immediately afterwards, everyone began to attack that big man. He was very heavy, and he couldn't smash it with iron picks. Several people were killed by him on the spot. But at this time, a priest rushed over, threw away the weapon in his hand, and hugged his arm directly.
"Kill this giant!" He shouted: "Kill this evil beast!"
Others rushed up, Guo Kang also returned to him. Before he picked up another hammer, he stepped on one foot, and then grabbed his arm.
The big man struggled, but Guo Kang also practiced his strength since he was a child. Even if it is at a disadvantage as a whole, it will not be able to twist a arm. The others immediately waved their weapons and hit it again, making the big man scream. He leaned against the wall, barely stretched, and struggled.
"Don't tickle, kill him!" Someone shouted.
A man holding an iron fork immediately rushed up, facing his chest, he tried his best, but still did not break the armor. Others were in a hurry, and the strong man carrying the rammed hammer also ran over.
"Hold it tightly!" He shouted and shouted.
Subsequently, he waved the hammer and smashed the tail of the iron fork.
The person in front of him immediately reacted and clenched the iron fork, and he knocked himself proficiently like a nail on the pier.
The big man screamed, but everyone squeezed up and made him unable to move. Guo Kang had a hand and was ready to pull the dagger. But after looking at other people, stopped again:
I do n’t know if it ’s because the action is too familiar, or the content of the command is too daily. At this time, the dock workers have sang the title.
"Hurry up! Hi!" He fought steadily on the iron fork, making the big man wail again.
"Putting down! Hi!" Another hammer smashed, and the iron fork's head was already bent, but the film was also beaten deeply depressing.
"Qi Xieli! Hi!" He wiped sweat, and it was another hammer. The big man finally realized what they were going to do and began to ask Guo Kang for mercy.
"I said that this has nothing to do with the surrender. I just want you to die." Guo Kang replied without hesitation.
"Must be done! Hi!" Everyone should get up.
This blow was finally beyond the limits of the armor. The head of the inferior iron fork was stretched out, but the armor finally couldn't bear it and cracked inward.
As soon as the hammer went on, the iron fork of the broken crushed the locking ring inside destroyed the second layer of armor.
Another hammer, the hard skin in the lock armor was smashed out of the hole.
Although it was a big winter, the man with a hammer was sweaty, and even the tiger's mouth cracked. Nonetheless, this person who has been used to hard work has not been affected by disconnection and pain at all. His hands were still not shaking, and he waved another hammer.
The ribs of the giant have broken and screamed in pain. The iron fork penetrates the last layer of fabric and deeply penetrates the flesh in the sound of the hood. He waved a hammer and hammer, until the burly giant no longer made a sound, until the enemy who looked terrible was nailed to the wall.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally cheered for a short time.
"We finally defeated the giant." The priest sat on the ground paralyzed and said, "Everyone, you are the same warriors like King David."
Guo Kang shook his head: "We are all ordinary people. We have also paid a lot of sacrifice."
Everyone watched a wolf around, and when she felt, they nodded.
Guo Kang breathed a breath, rubbing his chest with a little pain: "So I think that you have to do this kind of thing, which is greater than those mythical characters with faults."
This time, everyone was silent. The person who was still screaming with his signs just wiped his tears secretly.
"Don't cry, you shouted very well, I feel energetic." Guo Kang comforted.
"Team, Captain, you will teach us to sing the song of the legion next time. I am not fighting, it is work, it is not suitable." The man proposed.
"What is not suitable, the same is the same." Guo Kang shook his head.
Everyone tried to understand the meaning of this sentence, but Guo Kang said that there are still many residual enemies who can't celebrate. He made people who were really powerless to rest here first, and others continued to attack. The enemy will be as tired as it, and they cannot breathe them.
When I heard these words, almost all the people who could move came out and said that they would continue. Guo Kang couldn't persuade him, so he had to take them to kill all the way along the corridor.
However, the scene here may be too tragic, and the enemy on the entire floor has begun to collapse.
In the first few rooms, some people were stubborn and needed to clean up one by one, so some casualties were caused. But in the last few, when many people were expelled from the house, they were already in a state of losing their souls.
They entered the third floor again, and the enemies here simply did not resist. Some people would rather jump from upstairs, and they were unwilling to fight with them as before.
Guo Kang asked several priests and knights to continue searching, and found out the culprits such as Alexander. The rest of the people gathered in front of the hall and nailed the giant corpse. The enemies caught were also sent here.
Guo Kang took a circle himself, and when he returned, he found that Guo Puu came. Her eyes recovered, so she persisted and followed here.
Guo Kang greeted her briefly, and had no time to say more, so he would dispose of the remaining enemies.
According to his instructions, people from ordinary thugs and legions have been divided into two groups.
On one side, a young man holding a pig knife was ordered to be the sister -in -law -others told Guo Kang that he was the brother of the teenager who was just a spear just now.
However, after a few times, he discovered that the knife had been curled, and he couldn't move. I had to find the people next to me to borrow the hoe.
Others pressed the prisoners on the ground. And this honest youth, with the peasants of the ancestors, diligently crushed the power of the fields in the field, waved the hoe, and smashed each prisoner's head seriously.
Those who were confessed to the legion were taken to Guo Kang.
He told those people one by one that they were the defeats of the legion. Continue to survive for a day is an insult to Roman honor.
Several recruits stood on both sides, holding a humble wooden stick -some were just coming from the hands of the residents. Guo Kang ordered, they stepped forward and randomly, until the man's skin was blooming and dying. At this time, Guo Kang stepped forward with his ax and cut off his head.
There are many recruits, so the progress is fast. Soon, more than a dozen heads were cut off and piled up on the corner of the wall.
After all the enemy was executed, everyone was relieved. Guo Kang asked everyone to rest on the spot, and sent someone to find the team sent just now to see how they were. Subsequently, sitting on the ground and preparing to rest for a while.
"Still there is no news, I won't catch it again." Guo Po Nu came over and muttered: "This person can run too much."
"Wait again." Guo Kang was really tired of being tired. He didn't even want to say more, but he could only answer simply.
"Okay." Guo Po Nu patted his shoulders a little bit, sitting next to him: "You have done enough today. I think I have seen the prototype of a legion."
"I hope ... uh, don't post it so close ..." Guo Kang said halfway, and quickly stopped: "So many people. If we do n’t talk about men and women, we ca n’t be too exaggerated.”
"You are my family, what are you afraid of." Guo Po Nu did not care at all. He dragged Guo Kang over and let him lean on himself: "Okay, don't say it, take a while."
Guo Kang looked at the side and found that everyone did not pay attention to it -a series of battles just now, tired of everyone. Except for several priests who arranged for standing and taking care of the wounded, almost everyone else was taking a rest.
Guo Kang moved to the side again, so that Guo Po Nu did not toss. Having said that, he leaned on the wall, and he fell asleep quickly.
However, he didn't take a break this time, and the person who sent the question hurried back.
"Catch it, catch it!" The man shouted happily.
Guo Kang's excitement and sat directly: "What?"
"Catch Alexander!" The messenger repeatedly said.
When Guo Kang was excited, Yu Guang glanced and found that he didn't know what happened, and ran to Guo Po Nu again. Just now, it seemed to get up from her.
Now, Guo Po Nu still closed his eyes and breathed uniformly. I don't know if I really fell asleep or pretended. But she is also a wounded, and her contribution in the previous battle may be greater than Guo Kang herself. Therefore, Guo Kang is not easy to call her.
Moreover, the news of the messenger is too important, and almost all of the others get up excitedly, and they cheer together. In front of this kind of thing, he had no mood to take care of other things, and he couldn't care about Guo Pu's unknown drama.
"I passed by -oh no, let them come over." He jumped up, looked around again, and changed his mouth.
"Okay!" The messenger also looked happy, completely not tired, turned around and ran away.
