Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is a lot of noise on the Black Tiger City Wall. The aunts and uncles who cooked have now become logistics personnel, carrying pottery tubes filled with water up the city wall, preparing torches, and holding bundles of bamboo arrows to distribute.

    The combatants are already in their positions. In front of each person is a hunting bow and arrows, and next to them are bundles of arrows. Except for the feathers, the entire body of these arrows is made of dry bamboo.  The position is sharpened with a knife. In order to increase the weight of the arrow, a small iron bar is usually tied six or seven centimeters away from the arrow.

    This kind of bow and arrow is slightly less powerful when used against soldiers wearing leather armor, but it is enough to deal with ordinary civilians; especially when used in such a city defense battle, it is of high quality and low price, although  You may not be able to kill an enemy with just a few arrows, but you can definitely make the enemy wail like a ghost and have low morale.

    Of course, the real trump card is the steel crossbow. It is put aside and the steel crossbow is only used when attacking. This is not only to paralyze the enemy, but also because there are not many arrows of this kind of crossbow and cannot be used continuously.

    "Directly under the heavy crossbow squad, set up a medium-sized crossbow on the right side of the city wall, and set up another one on the left. No firing is allowed without my order; you must also pay attention to protection and prepare more sandbags. Don't  It only took two shots before it was knocked down by the enemy!"

    "The direct heavy crossbow class understands!"

    "The first and second squads of the second company are each responsible for protecting a medium-sized crossbow with wooden shields. You must be more flexible and avoid gaps. The third squad is responsible for protecting this secret weapon."

    "clear!"

    "The second platoon of the second company and the third platoon of the second company served as reserves; the third company all went up to the city wall. Without orders, they could only use hunting bows to shoot bamboo arrows. Pay attention to protecting yourself. I hid when the enemy used bows and arrows to counterattack.  "

    "Three companies and one row understand it!"

    "Three consecutive and two rows understand!"

    "Three rows and three rows understand!"

    Liang Yong stood upright on the city wall, pointing and giving orders neatly from time to time.  If it weren't for his childish face and his hands that were trembling slightly due to nervousness, no one would have thought that this young man who commanded hundreds of village protection teams to guard Black Tiger Village was just a guy running around the mountains a few months ago.  Wild child.

    Liang Yong never thought that he would have such a day.  I thought about how when I first met the instructor, I was still struggling to fill my stomach all day long. I also followed the instructor because of his fishing ability, but I didn't expect that my life would change drastically from that day on.  Slowly, he began to learn to read, fish with extremely strong fishing lines and hooks, and saw magical steel battleships. Now he is leading hundreds of people to fight with the troops of Shoufeng City.  Although all this seems like a dream, it is extremely real.

    After staying with Wu Yiping for a long time and seeing more, he can better understand the unfathomable nature of the instructor. Liang Yong has long been a loyal follower of Wu Yiping; at this time, Liang Yong has completely integrated himself into the nursing staff.  Village team!

    In the past, he also liked to listen to the old people in the village talking about the success stories of so and so, who established such and such gangs in the county town, who opened a restaurant in the county town, how much money they could collect every month, and who got married.  A little wife of several houses; at that time, he could only listen longingly and dream that one day he could become a member of this gang, be able to earn more than ten taels of silver every month, and bring adequate food and clothing to his family.

    But now, under the instructor's education and arrangement, I have become the leader of hundreds of people.

    Let¡¯s not talk about the money of Black Tiger Village. When the village protection team was just established, the instructor decided to take a large part of the money of Black Tiger Village and distribute it to the villagers. In the instructor¡¯s words, it was called beating the local tyrants and dividing the property. Now it¡¯s like this  Even the most honest farmers are thinking about how to kill the big pirate Ping Hailong so that they can once again divide their property.

    Just talking about now, Liang Yong believes that after this battle, the village protection team will make a lot of money. If nothing else, just the twenty or thirty war horses mentioned in the intelligence are a huge fortune.  It's something that even money can't buy.

    Half a month ago, the village guarding team still looked at it with strange eyes. Because they thought it was dangerous to join the village guarding team, the people who joined the village guarding team were people who were in particularly difficult circumstances in the village; now everyone looks at them with glowing eyes.  Looking at the village protection team, all the villagers support the village protection team and are willing to join the village protection team.

    If what the old people in the village said can be considered a success story, then under the leadership of the instructors, the growing village protection team is an unparalleled miracle that will shock the whole world sooner or later!

    Now there is a workshop specializing in the production of steel crossbows, a special iron-making workshop, and the village protection team needs to be expanded; Liang Yong knows that these are just a small beginning, and there are many more projects to be opened in the instructor's plan.There are workshops and a lot of weapons are produced.

    In this life, people just want to live a vigorous life!  Liang Yong believed that not only him, but also Lu Mingyu, who was extremely proud at the beginning, was determined to tie himself and all his subordinates to the instructor.

    The members of the village protection team are growing day by day, and their power is constantly expanding.  As long as we can defend Black Tiger Village this time, swallow these 800 people, and get a few months to develop.  The village protection team will usher in a real leap forward, and Shoufeng City and Lotus City will tremble under the prestige of the village protection team

    Of course, all the above beautiful ideas are predicated on victory in this battle.  Liang Yong still remembers what the instructor said to him very seriously after the pre-war meeting:

    "Liang Yong, you are the first student to follow me, and you have grown up very quickly. I couldn't show any timidity in front of so many people just now. But you must know clearly that this time is a huge test,  This time we are not facing chaotic bandits, but well-trained soldiers who come well prepared and in large numbers. So when you defend the city, it will definitely be very difficult, and there may be a lot of sacrifices.  "No matter what, you have to persevere. Only by winning can we have a chance to continue"

    The weather has been dry, and a yellow cloud slowly rose in the distance, which was the trace of the movement of a large group of people.

    Liang Yong, who discovered the situation, shouted sternly: "The logistics personnel are evacuating, and all combatants are in their positions." After a short period of confusion, the aunts and uncles went down, and the combatants also squatted down and hid behind the city wall and stomped on the arrows.

    After roaring, he quickly lay down, took a telescope and looked at Huang Yun's place.

    Huang Yun slowly approached, and the enemy team slowly appeared in front of him.

    At the front of the team is a tall flagpole. The flag on it is floating listlessly as it moves around, and a large word "waiting" can be vaguely seen on it.  Behind the flagpole are dozens of horses, with generals of all sizes sitting on them.  Behind them is a dense crowd, dark and chaotic.

    There is only a small flat land in front of the gate of Black Tiger Village, and a little further outside is a mountain forest. Fortunately, the former boss cut down all the trees on this mountainous area in order to facilitate observation of the enemy's situation; so now this large mountainous area is full of trees.  Rough rocks, tree stumps, and yellow weeds.  Now the team stopped in the middle of this mountainous area.

    ?¡­

    Hou Jinfei sat on the horse, looking at the huge silent mountain gate not far away with an expressionless face, and nodded:

    "This Black Tiger Village is well built. We basically don't need to make any modifications after entering. This leaves a lot of things to do!" After saying this, he continued to the deputy next to him: "Guangshan, please arrange a smarter person to make the call.  , tell those mud-legged people to open the door immediately and welcome us in"

    ?¡­

    Liang Yong poked his head out slightly and saw a person walking out of the enemy team. Then he swaggered to the front of the gate, and a voice like a broken throat came:

    "People inside, listen, our general is very happy to hear that you have captured a group of bandits in Black Tiger Village. Now we are sending Mr. Hou Jin Feihou to take over. You open the door quickly and you will be rewarded later. If you disobey orders,  If you are charged with colluding with bandits, not only will you lose your head, but your family members will also be implicated"

    Luo Hu is now the commander of the third company. He touched Liang Yong, who was one level younger than him, with his arm, and reluctantly shouted: "Commander What's going on? How should we answer?"  "

    Liang Yong, who was commanding for the first time, frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the enemy standing under the gate, and said to Luo Hu: "Uncle Hu, I heard that you are a well-known hunter, and you are a master of bow and arrow.  Then show your skills and leave a mark on him."

    "Okay!" Luo Hu said nothing. He stood up, nocked an arrow, and relaxed his fingers on the bow. As the bow string vibrated, the bamboo arrow shot out with a whoosh, and then retracted without looking. The whole action was completed in one go. The people below  Before he could react, he was accurately hit in the face by a speeding bamboo arrow.

    He deserved his misfortune. This guy was looking at his head and kept lobbying. An arrow suddenly hit his right nostril, and the arrow just got stuck between the pores of the nasal cavity bones.

    The impassioned lobbying was interrupted, and then a blood-curdling scream came.  This unlucky guy covered his bloody nose with both hands, screamed and ran away

    ?¡­

    Hou Jinfei sat with a livid face. The deputy next to him handed over a bamboo arrow. He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully: "The whole body is made of dry bamboo, and the position of the arrow is sharpened with a knife."  In order to increase the weight of the arrowhead, a small iron bar was tied six or seven centimeters away from the arrowhead; now the arrow is covered with blood, and the sharpened arrowhead is alsoIt becomes a little hairy due to friction with the bones.  "

    He casually threw the bow and arrow on the ground and said in a cold voice: "A group of farmers who have just washed the dirt off their legs! With such crude weapons! How dare they go against me? I don't know if they are fearless or ignorant."

    "Give me the order! Reorganize the team! Attack the city immediately!"
