Ni Chu

Chapter 9 Qin Crossbow

After the whole army was ready, Yu Fanjun lowered his body and said to Xiang Ye who was standing next to his horse: "Brother, after a fight starts later, you must be willing to fight. Remember, there is no mercy on the battlefield. You sympathize with me." Enemy, the enemy will kill you!"

Yu Fanjun's reminder just broke Xiang Ye's heart. Although he was standing in the line with a dagger in his hand, he was still wondering whether he should kill someone after fighting with Qin Jun.

He knew that this idea was ridiculous, but whenever he thought that even enemies had parents, wives and children, and killing a person would bring misfortune to a family, the emotion of killing that he had finally brought up would be extinguished immediately.

Yu Fanjun's words reminded him in a timely manner, yes, today is a troubled world, if he wants to survive in the troubled times, he must learn to be cruel, and must learn to take the lives of others in exchange for his own survival.

Xiang Ye tightly held the dagger in his hand. He seemed to feel the dagger trembling. This was the bloodthirsty trembling of the weapon. Among the Qin troops rushing across, whoever would die under this sword.Thinking of this, his palms could not help but wet with sweat.

Gradually, the figure of Qin Jun appeared from the smoke and dust all over the sky. The smoke and dust behind them were reflected by the afterglow of the setting sun, reflecting the dim orange brilliance. Qin Jun appeared like a heavenly soldier shrouded in divine light in every day. in front of a person.

When they were only two or three hundred steps away from Yu Fanjun's troops, the Qin army stopped.Yu Fanjun saw that the camp of the Qin army was slowly changing. Groups of soldiers came out of the formation and stood in the front row. He immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly shouted to the troops behind him: "No! They want to use Qin crossbows. !"

"Qin Nu?" When Yu Fanjun's shout fell, Xiang Ye felt that the army behind him began to panic, and an explanation about Qin Nu that he had seen in the past suddenly appeared in his mind. A sophisticated long-range weapon, its range even exceeds that of a pistol.

Only then did he understand why the army behind him panicked. It turned out that the position where the enemy stopped was within the effective range of the Qin crossbow, but their crossbow arrows could not hit the enemy at all.

"Soldiers, kill!" Seeing that the Qin army's formation was gradually taking shape, Yu Fanjun gave the order to charge with a wave of his spear without thinking too much.

The whole army howled like hungry wolves and rushed towards the Qin army. Just as they rushed out dozens of steps, the Qin army's camp flew out of the overwhelming crossbow arrows.

The sound of "Puff, puff, puff" rang in Xiang Ye's ears continuously, and every time he heard a sound, a companion would scream and fall into the dust.

It was just one round of crossbow arrows, and thousands of people fell down in a large area, but the Qin army's crossbow arrows obviously did not finish firing, one round followed by another round of crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows fired by the Qin army one after another almost disappeared. The afterglow from the half-round sun at the end of the horizon was completely covered, and the sky darkened instantly.

A few crossbow arrows flew towards Xiang Ye with a strong wind, and Xiang Ye quickly rolled on the spot, and touched a shield dropped by his dead companion from the ground to cover it in front of him.

"Du, du, du" the shield made a few muffled sounds, and every time the shield made a muffled sound, he would feel his arms trembling and numb.He raised his shield in front of him and rushed forward with his companions who were still alive.

His charge was aimless, he didn't know why he charged at all, but his subconscious mind told him that if he didn't charge at this time, the only thing waiting for him was death, and in order to survive, he had to charge forward.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. Gradually, the rebel army has rushed to the position where the crossbow arrows can hit the Qin army. Many Qin soldiers fell to the ground after groaning or screaming like the rebels who were shot by crossbow arrows just now.

Behind the crossbow formation of the Qin army, a Qin general rode on a horse and looked coldly at the rebels who were charging towards them.

Perhaps because he was exhausted from the long-term battle, General Qin's complexion was unhealthy sallow, his skin was a little dry, a few strands of hair on his temples had been eroded by years and battles and turned silvery white, his pair of deeply sunken His deep eye sockets make him look too deep, but there are a pair of embarrassing eyes in the deep eye sockets.

"Brother, the bandits only sent other generals Yu Fanjun and Zhujishi to fight our army this time, and their total strength is no more than ten thousand. We will definitely be able to capture Hu Ling this time!" Beside the general, another A man wearing a general's armor came over and pointed to the rebel army who was about to rush forward and said to him.

"Hehe!" Qin stroked his beard and smiled, and said to the general who was talking to him: "Zhang Ping, battles cannot be measured by numbers. When we fought against Zhou Wen and Tian Zang, we were able to wipe out their troops. Could it be that Is it also related to the number of people?"

This Qin general is none other than Zhang Han who led the Qin army to defeat Zhang Chu and won the last sliver of life for the surviving Great Qin. Beside him is his younger brother Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping respected his elder brother very much. When Zhang Han said this, he just nodded and said to Zhang Han: "What the elder brother taught is that Zhang Ping knows!"

The rebel army was getting closer and closer, and many crossbow arrows they shot passed the Qin army's crossbow formation and flew into the Qin army's rear formation. The guards beside Zhang Han were afraid that the crossbow arrows would hurt him, so they quickly held shields in front.

Zhang Han's face was stern, and he looked at the rebel army who was charging quietly. When the rebel army was still thirty or forty steps away from the Qin army's formation, he raised his long sword high and shouted at the army behind him: "The whole army is here!" charge!"

There is no charge of tactics and strategies at all. This is a head-to-head duel. The two sides compete for nothing more than strength and determination.

After receiving the order, the Qin army behind the crossbow array rushed towards the rebel army howling. What people wait for is not the support of their companions but the spears and daggers of the enemy.

Xiang Ye originally wanted to follow Yu Fanjun, but after the two armies fought together, he was soon pushed away by the crowd to a place far away from Yu Fanjun.

As soon as he stood up in the crowd, a Qin Jun rushed towards him holding a shield in his left hand and holding a short sword high in his right hand. This Qin Jun was howling strangely when he rushed towards him.

Qin Jun rushed to Xiang Ye, raised the dagger in his hand, and slashed down on Xiang Ye's head.

Xiang Ye flatly raised his dagger and moved towards Qin Jun's sword that was slashing at his head. After a "choke", the two daggers collided with a ball of sparks, and he took the opportunity to unload the sword. Unable to use his strength, he staggered two steps and bumped towards him.

When Qin Jun ran into him, he put the dagger hilt down, and slammed his fist on the opponent's chin.

If he swung the dagger in his hand again at this time, he would definitely be able to cut the opponent's throat, but Xiang Ye didn't do that. He just raised his foot and kicked the fallen Qin Jun's ribs hard, kicking the Qin Jun He rolled a few times and fell to the side.

As soon as the Qin army stopped rolling, a rebel soldier rushed up and stabbed him fiercely with his spear. He who was not killed by Xiang Ye finally died under the spear of the rebel army.

At the moment Qin Jun was stabbed to death by the spear, Xiang Ye felt dizzy. Although he didn't kill Qin Jun just now with his own hands, he indirectly helped his companion kill him.

Except for accidentally smashing a person to death while traveling, Xiang Ye had never killed anyone with his own hands. He stood on the battlefield with a dagger in his hand, and his consciousness gradually fell into chaos.

He didn't want to kill people, he didn't want to cause misfortune to one or more families through his hands, but now he was really trapped in the battlefield, surrounded by soldiers from both sides who were howling and desperately fighting.Puffs of blood spurted in front of his eyes, and the fresh lives were driven out of their bodies by the cold daggers and spears, and the ground was covered with the corpses of soldiers from both sides.

Xiang Ye was at a loss. He didn't know why human beings would kill each other, why they lived a good life, but because of the will of one or several people, more people died.He didn't want to kill, really didn't want to kill, but in front of him, countless people fell down one after another and became lifeless corpses.

"Be careful!" Just as Xiang Ye was in a daze, there was a sudden shout from behind, and following the shout, a rebel officer rushed towards him from behind and threw him aside.

After the officer threw Xiang Ye down, the two of them rolled and fell to the ground. At this moment, Xiang Ye saw a Qin army who was standing where he was standing just now, digging his spear deeply into the soil.

"Thank you!" Xiang Ye smiled at the officer and thanked him sincerely.

There was a lot of blood on the officer's face, but when Xiang Ye expressed his gratitude to him, he still wiped his face and responded to Xiang Ye with a naive smile: "No thanks..."

Before he could say "thank you", the smile on his face froze suddenly, and a spear pierced through his back and penetrated his body.Behind him, a Qin Jun Zhengyuan opened his eyes, and with a ruthless face, he pushed the spear into his back heart fiercely.

"Ah!" Seeing that the man who saved him was stabbed to death by Qin Jun, Xiang Ye went crazy. With a strange cry, he rushed behind the stabbed officer who was still wearing a spear.

With Xiang Ye's full swing of the dagger in his hand, a head left his neck and fell to the ground. The eyes of the head that fell to the ground were wide open, and a pair of gray pupils that gradually lost their expression were still full of fear. .

Xiang Ye raised his foot and kicked away the headless corpse of Qin Jun, whose cavity was still spraying blood like a fountain, and hugged the rebel officer who rescued him in his arms.

His fists were clenched tightly, and when he saw the officer's wide-open but lifeless eyes and tightly closed gray lips, two tears swirled in his eyes .
