Turbulent Times Chapter 1494: Two hundred strange dead soldiers
The same storyline is repeated on this small mountain path of less than two hundred steps. .
In the establishment of the Far Eastern Army, Li Shanfei, who had just formed an army and performed a combat mission for the first time, marched towards the first checkpoint step by step at the cost of his life, and then advanced again.
Li Hu finally saw the centurion commander of the Far Eastern Army who was the first to set foot on this road fall down——about twenty steps away from the checkpoint, he was shot by a sharp archer under his command Mei Yu was shot in the throat and fell down. Seeing the centurion staring at him, and falling down straight like this, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. It seemed that the depression suppressed in his heart dissipated a lot with the fall of the centurion of the Far Eastern Army.
"Ready for battle!" As soon as he breathed out, he felt the entire checkpoint shake, which was caused by the soldiers from the Far East rushing up and hitting the wall.
Because of the terrain and terrain, although Huangshizhai built three checkpoints before the main village, the checkpoints are not high, and most of them are only about two or three feet high. The four-foot-high city wall, of course, the checkpoint wall is far from being as strong as the city wall.
Everyone was crowded under the wall of the level, and the rolling stone had completely lost its effect. Li Hu picked up a stone weighing more than ten kilograms, stood on top of the wall with a grinning grin, and shouted, "Hit them hard! "
Just after he finished shouting, before he had time to smash the stone out of his hand, there were several swishing sounds, and the sound of piercing the air came from below. There was a muffled sound, Li Hu turned over and fell down, three feathered arrows brushed his face and shot into the air.
He jumped up, and pulled out the feathered arrow stuck in the armor on his right arm, and the blood shot out, Li Hu couldn't help but gasp, the Far Eastern Army's rapid crossbows really deserved their reputation, the speed of the crossbow is so fast It is fast, and it is fired in bursts, which means that within a certain distance, every soldier of the Far East Army equipped with a fast crossbow is equivalent to a sharp archer who can shoot continuous shots.
If it wasn't for his high martial arts skills and precautions, if his reaction was slow for an instant, he would have lost his strength
He was shot dead by the opponent's crossbow in a daze.
The wall of the checkpoint is not high. Although they were attacking from their backs, the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army who rushed up completely gave up their own protection and shot crossbow arrows into the city like raindrops with fast crossbows. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army have excellent armor defenses, which can block ordinary arrows, making them less likely to be killed or injured by enemy bows and arrows on the checkpoint.
But they can't block the stone at such a distance anyway. Each soldier will be thrown to the ground by stones or rolling logs if he shoots nine arrows out of his quick crossbow, unable to get up again. But above the checkpoint, Li Hu's subordinates also began to suffer large-scale casualties, because Li Hu was able to dodge the repeated crossbow arrows, but ordinary soldiers did not have this strength, and their armor could not stop the Far East Army's crossbow arrows at all.
Having learned the lesson of brushing shoulders with death for the first time, Li Hu no longer dared to be careless. He hid behind the wall, raised his strong bow, aimed at the Far Eastern soldiers under the city, and shot them one by one. His archery skills are extremely superb. Although the soldiers of the Far East Army have excellent armor and have low-brow face helmets, they can't protect their throats. Li Hu's every arrow goes straight to the door of the throat. would take a life.
The corpses under the city gradually piled up, and Li Hu also paid the price of nearly two hundred people.
The buzzing sound startled Li Hu. He knew that the government used to have this kind of giant crossbow at the head of the city or above the checkpoint, but under the city gate, with such terrain, how could the opponent have a giant gun. ?
He stood up, and after only one glance, he felt chills all over his body. It turns out that this kind of giant crossbow can still be used in this way, and the unusual giant crossbow cannot be used like this.
A dozen infantrymen of the Far Eastern Army carried the giant guns and crossbows on their shoulders. The people in front knelt down and the people behind stood upright, forming an artificial platform. The giant guns and crossbows could shoot steadily Looking at the special three-shot short crossbow gun of the Far Eastern Army, Li Hu felt a little nervous.
He swung his bow and arrow, and with a whoosh, he shot down a soldier who was holding a giant gun and crossbow on his horn. It was raised again, and at the same time, several large shields stood up, blocking the soldiers who raised the crossbow.
There was a rapid buzzing sound, Li Hu shrunk his neck subconsciously, and there were three thud thud thumps in succession. This row of three short crossbows and guns shot up against the top of the city wall, and the five Wagang soldiers who could not escape in time Amidst the screams of the soldiers, those who were shot flew out backwards, falling far behind the checkpoint wall.
The sound of thumping was endless, and in a blink of an eye, the other party set up three giant guns and crossbows in front of the checkpoint, and a short crossbow and guns as thick as a child's arm were firmly inserted into the city wall. Immediately afterwards, soldiers of the Far Eastern Army, like apes, put their sabers in their mouths, alternated their hands, and stepped on the short crossbows and guns stuck on the wall to climb up.
It was the first time that close hand-to-hand combat appeared on the checkpoint. Although the first soldier of the Far Eastern Army who climbed up was killed on the top of the wall, it represented the beginning of the stage of hand-to-hand combat on the wall of the siege battle. .

In the rear, Shen Guoer saw that Li Shanfei's men were dead and injured, and glanced at the two hundred people who were following behind Wang Junlin, wearing black armor and black masks, only showing a pair of indifferent eyes, and wanted to speak. And stop.
She was the only person present who knew the origins of these two hundred people, and also knew that these two hundred people were originally brought by her prince to attack strong cities like Huangshizhai and Fengyang City.
That's right, Wang Junlin brought two hundred dead soldiers trained by Nie Xiaoyu himself, and they were very strong martial arts masters, everyone had reached the stagnation period, and they were the kind of martial arts masters who were proficient in killing people on the battlefield.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the armor these people wear is completely different from that of soldiers these days. I don't know how many things I have on my body. And how to use this kind of thing, how to bring the greatest damage, they have completely mastered.
When Wang Junlin brought these people here a few days ago, Wei Zheng, Li Shanfei, Li Jing and others naturally noticed that these people were different from ordinary soldiers, but they were all smart people, and they knew that since Wang Junlin didn't say anything, They didn't want to ask more questions, but they were full of doubts, but they still didn't know that Wang Junlin had prepared these people for Huangshizhai and Fengyang City.
