In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 21 Passed out from anger
"Sir, the Tartars are about to attack."

A small flag pointed at the Tatars not far away and shouted.

Since they made up their identities, everyone has changed their name to Lin Rui as Young Master. Even Zhang Xiuying and Sister Niu did the same, but only called Lin Geer in private.

"Everyone squat down, don't show your head yet, and follow my command!"

Seeing that everyone was still looking around, Lin Rui quickly greeted them.

Not far away, I saw that the Tatars had circled around the earth wall and began to press forward from all directions. This time Kashgar sent two hundred warriors to serve as the main attack.

The other three tribes also sent more than half of their troops to follow on foot and shoot arrows for cover.

There is no way, it's not that I don't want to send all the people up, but I want to leave some warriors to guard against the damn Chatu Department.

Although none of the four felt that the Chatu tribe would dare to take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, after all, the opponent occupied a high point on the hillside and they did not dare to take the risk.

"Kill, warriors."

"Pit down the Chak tribe!"

Two hundred Kashi tribe's Tatars, after approaching fifty steps away from the earthen wall, protected their vital points with shields, carried ladders and machetes, and charged forward, howling.

"Free Fire!"

Lin Rui yelled, stood up and fired an arrow at a Tatar who was rushing forward, but was blocked by the opponent with a shield.

But he was not discouraged. After throwing the crossbow to the assistant beside him, he picked up a crossbow again and aimed at Tatar's leg.

The running Tatar felt a pain in his leg and stumbled to the ground. The person behind him immediately picked up his shield and continued to protect his body and rushed forward. The Tatar who had an arrow in his leg was He endured the pain and got up, limping backwards.

The remaining sixteen shooters also fired rapidly from all directions, desperately trying to intercept the Tatars.

At this time, the two hundred Tatars from the three tribes who were responsible for covering the back also bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the earth wall and shooting accurately to suppress the rain of arrows.

Some prisoners were unable to dodge and were hit by arrows. They howled in pain and crawled under the carriage as if they were desperate.

"Don't panic..." Lin Rui took the time to yell to comfort the panicked prisoners while aiming for the right shot.

"Don't worry about the Tatars rushing up, aim at the archers behind me and shoot!"

Lin Rui saw that he almost hit the arrow when he put his head out and released it. He was also frightened by the accuracy of Tatar's archery skills, so he hurriedly said.

He knew that he could not let the Tatars behind him aim and release arrows leisurely, otherwise with the Tatars' archery skills, they would not be able to show their heads at all, otherwise they would definitely be hit.

Sure enough, under Lin Rui's call, everyone started to fight back against the Tatars behind, and the effect was immediate.

Since the Tatars behind had no shields, even if they were fifty or sixty steps away, they could always hit one of three arrows.

Several Tatars who were shooting arrows for cover were shot one after another. The other Tatars were so shocked that they retreated a little, and their direct shots had to be turned into blind throws.

Although the projectile was farther, the accuracy could only rely on the blindfold. At this time, two hundred Tatars from the Kashgar tribe finally rushed to the trench. After setting up a ladder, they rushed over with their shields, and then put a ladder on the wall. , then he held the shield above his head and climbed up.

In order to prevent accidentally shooting their own people, the Tatars who were throwing arrows behind had to stop firing arrows.

"Everyone stand up and defend, pour shit on me!"

"Let the Tatars come in and none of you will survive."

Lin Rui shouted anxiously.Seeing that the arrow rain had stopped, the prisoners finally crawled out from under the carriage under Lin Rui's urging, picked up the wooden ladle, filled it with dung and poured it on the Tatars under the wall. He mustered up the courage to poke the Tatar off the ladder with his spear.

"what…"

For a while, there were constant screams, especially those of the Tartars who had the hot excrement poured down on their heads, rolling on the ground in pain.

Compared with spears and daggers, dung is indeed a weapon of defense. The one with a shield is slightly better, but the one without a shield is a serious crime. More importantly, it puts huge psychological pressure on the Tatars.

Almost all of these Tatars had followed the Jurchens to the south and plundered. They knew that the Han people burned excrement to defend themselves. Those who were burned by excrement almost never had a good ending. Although they were not scalded to death on the spot, their wounds would definitely appear in the following days. Festering, the whole body became hot and hot, and finally he died of torture.

So now I saw that the people of the Chake tribe were imitating the Han people to burn dung and use this vicious trick to deal with them. At the same time, they were angry, panicked and frightened.

Kashgar, who was watching the battle from behind, was so angry that he jumped to his feet and cursed. Seeing the warriors under the wall being burnt by the excrement thrown down, they were crying and howling like ghosts. Said: "Quick, let your warriors step forward and shoot arrows at the people on the wall!"

The three clan leaders looked at each other and had no choice but to ask the warriors to step forward and take aim and shoot arrows for cover.

Some prisoners used dung to temporarily suppress the Tatars climbing the wall. Lin Rui and the others felt relieved a lot. Seeing the Tatars approaching again, they naturally raised their crossbows to shoot.

The two sides exchanged shots for a while. Although several prisoners who were throwing dung and defending with spears were shot, the Tatars also had people hit by arrows and fell to the ground from time to time.

"Don't show your head, squat down and splash if you are sure. If anyone dares to escape, I will shoot him to death!"

Lin Rui shot a prisoner from behind who was trying to escape and hid under the carriage, and then threatened him loudly.

When the other prisoners who were preparing to escape saw this, they were immediately frightened and did not dare to escape anymore. After scooping up the excrement, they squatted behind the wall and splashed it in the direction of the wooden ladder.

"It's no good, Chief Kashgar. The opponent's archery skills are accurate and fast, and he is hiding behind the wall. It's too much of a disadvantage to shoot like this."

The three of them saw that in just a short time, more than 30 warriors from their tribe had fallen. Including those who were hit by arrows at the beginning, the number was close to [-]. They no longer ignored the ghosts and screams of Kashgar and hurriedly gave the order. Warriors, retreat and stop shooting at each other.

Without the accurate cover of the archers, both Lin Rui and the prisoners, as well as the prisoners, defended more calmly, which greatly increased the casualties of the Kashgar tribe attacking under the wall.

"Abba, we can't fight any more. Hurry up and order the warriors to withdraw first!"

The eldest son of Kashgar was so anxious that he almost cried when he saw the warriors wailing and screaming under the wall, suffering heavy casualties.

"Quickly, let the warriors withdraw." Kashgar also woke up from his anger and shouted quickly.

As the horn sounded, the Tatars of the Kashgar tribe were relieved and ran backwards, trying to escape from under the hell-like wall.

Lin Rui naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. He picked up his crossbow and fired arrows at the backs of the evacuating Tatars. The other 16 people did not need to say hello at all.

As a result, in the previous attack on the wall, the Tatars only left a dozen bodies behind, and most of the others were only burned. However, during the retreat, nearly 30 people were shot down from behind by Lin Rui and the others.

Seeing this scene, Kashgar's energy and blood rushed to his heart, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, he fell directly off his horse and passed out.

"Abba..."

"The patriarch..."

The people from the Kashgar tribe exclaimed and dismounted their horses and surrounded him.

After Kashgar was rescued, it was already dark. He learned that a full 53 warriors had not returned from the daytime battle. Another 42 warriors had been burned and shot to varying degrees, and they almost fainted again.
