Chapter 1121 Changping County Lord 69
Kitchen knife, kitchen knife? !
On the tower, there was a row of about twenty people, quickly turning the rope in their hands, and tied to one end of the rope was a small kitchen knife. This kind of kitchen knife is only half the size of a palm. It is very thin and has not been sharpened. It is so thin that it can be broken by hand and can be choked to cut a fruit.
But when it is strung on a thin rope, rotates at high speed, and then suddenly throws it high into the air ahead, using the eccentricity to form a parabola, it can perfectly throw it to a terrifying eighty meters away.
The arrows currently on the tower are ordinary arrows, and their range is only sixty or seventy meters at most, and the farther away they are, the less powerful they are. Most of them reach about forty meters. If they miss something, they fall down.
But this kind of small kitchen knife is different. After being thrown out, it is like a rain of blades.
"Aim at the horseman!" Sergeant shouted: "Throw~"
The kitchen knives in the hands of more than 20 people suddenly flew out, heading in the direction of Huxie Maodun.
"Ah~" A person next to him was hit in the face with a thin kitchen knife and screamed miserably.
He was fine, but one side of his neck was slashed, and the blood immediately flew out. Holding his neck, the person went limp.
Huxie Maodun saw the "Rain of Kitchen Knives" for the first time. They were really kitchen knives, but they had lethality. He could only turn his horse's head and run backwards to avoid more than twenty kitchen knives flying towards him.
As soon as the coach ran away, the soldiers behind him turned around and ran with him.
Huxie Maodun ran back twenty or thirty meters, turned around, and found that his soldiers were also running behind him. He couldn't help but get angry, picked up the riding whip and whipped it: "Who told you to retreat? Attack the city for me and attack the city for me!"
When the cronies saw this, they also picked up whips and drove the soldiers to turn around and attack the city.
But how can you control it? Huxie Maodun had no choice but to retreat a hundred meters and then reorganize his army.
The sergeants and centurions on the tower led the team to boo and taunt.
Then the sergeants began to cheer up: "Everyone, cheer up, the Huns are coming. Those who throw kitchen knives in front should throw them well. If they are more accurate, they can hit the boy who is shouting."
Someone shouted: "It's not that we couldn't throw it accurately, but this kid ran away too fast, and I saw his back."
There was laughter on the tower and morale was high. It seems that the Huns soldiers are not so scary, they are also afraid of death.
The sergeant shouted again: "The archer in the back is pretty good. And grandma, I saw you hit a Huns. I'll ask someone to add a piece of good mutton for you later."
The old woman smiled without any teeth in her mouth: "Old man, I have no teeth and can't bite. Why don't you give me an extra pound of flour?"
"Okay!" The sergeant waved his hand and said generously: "I'll give you two kilograms. Then go to Huotou to get two sheep bones and go back to make soup."
"That's a good feeling." The old woman accepted it happily.
"Everyone, please work harder later. If you are brave, come and take a look. There are at least more than a hundred corpses left in front of the city gate. They are the only ones who killed each one..."
In the midst of mobilization, supplies came from the tower.
The arrows were carried up in bundles, which made the veterans stick out their tongues: "How many arrows does the Changping County Lord have stored?"
The man carrying the sword rolled his eyes: "There are so many, I'm afraid you won't be able to shoot them all."
"Haha, this is the arrow I made!" A person shouted in surprise. The finger pointed at a bundle of arrows, which was being held by a soldier to dip the arrowheads in gold juice.
He walked over, took out the arrows, and raised them up: "See? Since there are no feathers, I used small pieces of cloth to stick them on." Sure enough, the nocks of several arrows were stuck on blue coarse cloth.
Now even the stupidest person understands why the Changping County Lord wanted to keep all the arrows. But how did the head of Changping County know that this year would be a cold winter, and how did he know that the Huns would attack?
Another person brought something, it was the door panel. All the door panels at the door of people's homes in the city were removed, and a layer of straw was tied to all door panels.
When the door panels were requisitioned, I was originally worried that the people would refuse, but unexpectedly they all agreed. Think about it, no grain or rice is needed, just the door panel. If the city is broken, even if there is a door at the door, it will not be able to stop anyone.
There are about a hundred door panels blocking the front of the tower, like huge shields.
News also came from behind: "Only let the enemy attack the city gate, and guard it if you can. But you must not let the enemy climb the tower."
As soon as the news came, I heard the sound of "woo woo" horns. The Huns were attacking the city again!
This time the Huns finally got smart and fired their arrows first.
Aren't you shooting arrows? We are shooting arrows too. You must know that the Huns are better at riding and shooting.
So the archers stood in a row, twenty, and fired arrows at the tower under the command. After finishing the row, step back to take the arrows and put them into the bow. The people in the back row stepped forward and fired arrows, and the process started again and again.
"Fire the arrow... let it go... let it go..." With the orders, arrows flew towards the tower like rain.
"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..." Everyone hid behind the door panel and heard the dull sound of the arrow hitting the door panel, just like the explosion of fire.
After firing ten waves of arrows, Huxie Maodun drew out his sword and shouted: "Attack the city, go ahead!"
So the black soldiers, carrying ladders and hitting the doorposts, ran towards the city gate.
The sergeant shouted: "Fire the arrow, fire the arrow immediately!"
Under the attack of the opponent's archers, it is difficult for people to get out of the door. When the arrow rain stopped, the sergeant picked up the spear next to him and shouted: "Come up, pick down all the ones that come up."
A group of veterans and new recruits rushed to the edge, picked up stones, and started throwing them at the enemy soldiers on the ladders.
A pot of scalding golden juice was carried over and poured towards the most crowded areas.
For a time, screams erupted from the city walls, and people fell from the ladders like ants. The corpses were laid out layer by layer, while the people behind stepped on the corpses and continued to climb up the ladder.
"Break open the city gate, hurry up and open the city gate!" Huxie Maodun roared with red eyes: "Enter the city, rob the property at will, sleep with the women, and get whatever you want."
This is why the Huns attacked the city. Every time they took away everything useful. Whoever grabbed it first would get it. Sometimes when they encounter good things, they will fight with each other.
Each city was like a free treasure cave. The Huns soldiers frantically carried the wooden blocks to knock against the solid city gates, knocking them over one after another.
Even though there were arrows like rain, stones like hailstones, and the smelly and extremely hot golden juice was poured down.
As long as they open the door, the food, gold, silver, jewelry, and women inside are all theirs!
The soldiers on the tower tried their best to push down the exposed enemies. Some of the temporary soldiers who were recruited were also red-eyed. They no longer just closed their eyes and shot out casually, but ran forward and pointed arrows at them. shoot.
Finally, the door became loose after being hit again and again...
