Placed in front of the defenders were boxes of neat bamboo poles. They were not so much bamboo poles, but the two ends had obviously been sharpened, reflecting dazzling light in the sun. From a distance, they looked like they were used by soldiers for throwing. The spear surprised everyone present, many of whom had never thought that such a sharp weapon could be made from bamboo poles.
Lan looked at the figure and felt that it looked familiar. He seemed to be the young master of his enemy whom he bumped into that day. At this time, he was wiping sweat and panting. The two servants under him were almost sitting on the ground.
"Thank you." Shen Lei picked up a bamboo spear, directed the soldiers to use this new weapon, and immediately threw it towards the black armored army not far away. Although bamboo spears are far less powerful than iron spears, these spears are taken from the forests around Luo City, and their toughness and strength are several times stronger than ordinary bamboo tubes. Actually, they were now made into neat throwing weapons, and they were thrown one after another on the city wall. The power of this row of bamboo spears cannot be underestimated. What's more, the black-armored men never thought of this situation. Soon, there were screams in the black-armored army. Many of them were not pierced to death by bamboo spears, but more were hit alive by spears. Then he fainted.
"Disperse quickly." Heiyu ordered not far away. He did know that there would be resistance in Luo City before, but he never expected that there would be such a weapon. The previous arrow also frightened him, and now The bamboo spear surprised him even more. He never thought that Luo City would be such a hard nut to crack.
After receiving the order, the black-armored men did not lose their composure and quickly formed a loose formation. This also caused the lethality of the bamboo spears to be greatly reduced. Some of the defenders who threw the spears were even hit by arrows and fell into the pile of bamboo behind them. The blood immediately dyed the green bamboos red, as if they were immersed in the bamboo spears. In the dyeing vat, it quickly became red.
The battlefield continued in a stalemate until noon, and the black-armored men just squandered their endless bows and arrows. The entire Luo City gate seemed to be dyed with black paint, and almost all the walls around Lan and the others were stuck. It was full of arrows. Fortunately, I had already experienced it, so the losses were not very heavy. Occasionally, Lan would fire back a few sure-hit bows and arrows, and there would be a burst of cheers every time he plucked the bowstring and went out.
After a morning of stalemate fighting, about twenty soldiers guarding the city were killed, and countless others were injured. The bamboo spears prepared by Master Qiu earlier were also used in various ways, and many people were injured. Although he was not life-threatening after being hit by a bow and arrow, he temporarily lost his ability to fight and had to be taken to the rear for treatment.
The entire Luo City had already fallen into a tense atmosphere. From time to time, Yu Ji could see a group of family members crying around the corpse that was brought back from the city gate. Every time she couldn't help but look there, and at the same time praying in her heart that the corpse would be dead. You must not be the same Lan you are familiar with. Every medical officer in Luo City was overwhelmed by injured soldiers or people assisting in the defense. The doctors were also overwhelmed. Fortunately, many enthusiastic residents took the initiative. Go to help so that the injured can receive timely treatment. In the end, Yu Ji also joined the group of people, taking the initiative to bandage the wounds of the wounded and inquiring about Lan from time to time.
"Hero, have you ever seen a young man with disheveled hair and not a very strong figure?" Yu Ji would ask this question every time she bandaged a wounded person.
Many people shook their heads, and more people were unable to answer Yu Ji's question because of their pain. Until an uncle with an injured knee replied, "Ah! You are talking about the sharpshooter, right? He is right at the main entrance. I'm guarding the front line with Captain Huang and the others. If I hadn't been hit by an arrow in the knee, I would have fought like them to the end."
As soon as these words were said, many soldiers who had fought with Lan on the front line also thought of that young man, "Yes, yes. He is really powerful. He must have killed more than a dozen people, right?"
Soon word spread about Lan's heroic century. Yu Ji obviously didn't care about this. She was more concerned about whether Lan was injured. When she was distracted, she hurt the uncle who had an arrow in his knee, causing the uncle to grit his teeth and crack his mouth.
"Don't worry, I think Lan will be fine with his ability." A voice behind Yu Ji told her.
Yu Ji turned around, she was a woman with delicate features and a trace of heroism on her pretty face. Seeing that the woman recognized Lan, she hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The woman nodded and stopped bandaging. "I am Long Li, and I am also your senior sister Nalan. My master Ding Jian and my senior brother have gone to the back door to investigate the situation. They hope to deliver urgent letters to the nearest city as soon as possible. And I am here to help. "
Long Li saw the two thin swords tied behind Yu Ji again. In order to facilitate the use of these two weapons at any time, Yu Ji made a woman's ordinary silk ribbon into a thin belt and tied Tianquan and Earth Fire to herself. A weak waist. "Sure enough, it's a?What a sword. . "There was a hint of envy in his tone.
When Yu Ji saw that the woman was Lan's senior sister, she tightly held hands that were similar to hers and asked, "Is Lan really okay? The other party is a regular army, and they have such terrifying weapons." ." Yu Ji couldn't help but look at the several dead soldiers who had been sent earlier. Most of them were fatally wounded by arrows and died of excessive blood loss.
"Don't worry, Lan will definitely not be the kind of man who dies easily." Although Long Li has not had good contact with Lan, she knows Lan's situation better than Yu Ji at the moment. Izulan is not the kind of person who gives up easily, let alone the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. At this moment, Long Li was also worried about his senior brother, Yang Ling, who was investigating with his master. If he hadn't developed the ability to keep his expression straight while practicing swordsmanship, I might be as worried about him as Yu Ji at this moment.
Yu Ji seemed to gain a glimmer of confidence from Long Li. A moving smile appeared on her lips, and she calmed down and carefully treated the wounds of the injured who were being brought in according to the doctor's instructions.
"Ding" The black god of death was blocked by the silver moonlight. Ding Jian and Yang Ling were attacked by two or three cold arrows as soon as they left the back door of Luo City. But that despicable sneak attack was of no use to Ding Jian. Yang Ling, who closed her eyes tightly, also He can easily block the black arrows with his sword.
"Yang Ling, be careful." Ding Jian was still worried about his apprentice. After all, Yang Ling's eyes were injured in a duel with others and have not recovered yet, but he still used his amazing talent and long-term hard work to maximize his swordsmanship.
"Yes, Master." Yang Ling, who seldom spoke, answered his master, and turned sideways to avoid a black arrow that passed by him. Yang Ling's blindness did not make him lose everything. Furthermore, it further improved his perception of things.
Seeing that his apprentice calmly dodged the sneak attack, Ding Jian quickly pulled out his beloved sword, rushed into the ambush point of the black-armored men, and killed the sneak attacks one by one. Ding Jian's The swordsmanship was already so perfect that some of the archers who attacked sneakily were sliced ??open along with their own weapons without even reacting. With the cooperation of the master and the apprentice, the black-armored men at the back door of Luo City were quickly cleared away.
"Yang Ling, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still blind." Just as the two of them were galloping toward the nearest passage, the warrior behind Heiyu blocked them. With one hand, he pulled out his giant sword from behind and pointed it straight at Yang Ling.
"Oh, Master is here, so I have to salute." The black-clothed warrior actually bowed to Ding Jian and took off the helmet and mask that he had worn all year round. The three deep sword wounds on his face were also exposed in full view of the public, and those three wounds also left indelible marks on the originally handsome face.
"Jiahong, you are actually still alive." Yang Ling, who had been calm all the time, also showed an expression of disbelief, while Ding Jian on the side said nothing, just pulled out his long sword, ready to take action at any time.
"When I dueled with you, you thought you killed me? Why did Long Li fall in love with you, a coward? If Master hadn't saved you in the end, you wouldn't have just lost those eyes! Long Li should have You fall in love with someone better, like me! Isn¡¯t that right, senior brother!" Qiao Yu roared at his former senior brother. His eyes were staring straight at Yang Ling from a crack-like wound.
"Master, you go and deliver the urgent letter first. I'll deal with it here." Yang Ling bowed to Ding Jian and put away his original panic. He turned to face Jiahong who was holding a giant sword.
Ding Jian stared at the two of them and saw that Qiao Yu, who was wearing armor, had no intention of stopping him, so he nodded and walked quickly towards the passage.
Wait until Ding Jian left Qiao Yu's sight. Qiao Yu looked up to the sky and smiled.
"Let me tell you, Yang Ling. When I cut you into pieces here, and when those black-armored men attack Luo City, Longli will be mine! Just go down to Jiuquan and be blind forever! Da! Senior brother!"
After saying that, Jiahong pulled out his giant sword and slashed straight at the blind Yang Ling.
