Chapter 43: Meeting on a narrow road
The archers were arching again and were about to shoot the second round of arrows. The young men in the salt pole team finally couldn't bear it anymore and were all panicked and were about to disperse. In other words, during training on weekdays, Li Meng and several other coaches still remembered the beating of bamboo whip. Everyone was hesitating, and some of the unsteady wills had already run out with small steps.
As long as the second round of arrows is shot out, I will collapse. Those salted dicks who have picked up cheap will rush back, and I am afraid that the situation will be uncontrollable.
Li Meng was also a little scared when he looked at his opponent's bow and arrow. This was the first time he had faced a long-range weapon in this era. With the screams of the young people around him, his fear was gradually increasing.
"I can't die here, I can't go back to the garrison to live a closed and poor life..."
Li Meng roared wildly, holding a spear in his hand and rushed towards the archers. Some people in the team roared and rushed towards the archers.
Li Meng planned to do three archers on the opposite side. Now two people rushed over, and the third person was still in trouble. At this moment, he heard the third person roar and rushed out from behind. Li Meng kept walking, but he knew that the second person was Zhao Neng, and who was the third person?
The three salt dicks holding bows and arrows were proud. They also realized that as long as they shot the second round of arrows, the other party would probably collapse. The bows and arrows they bought with a lot of money were indeed of great use.
Unexpectedly, three people on the other side rushed over with their spears. They could quickly rush over within less than forty steps. Pulling the bow and shooting archery is a skill that requires many years of practice. These salted men were originally absurds, and they were also panicked when they saw the hideous enemy roaring towards them.
The arrow was not placed on the bowstring for a long time, but before Li Meng and the others rushed over, they still shot out, but in such a nervous state, don’t mention any accurate head and strength.
Wiping the arrows flying over Li Meng's head had no effect on him at all, and his pace accelerated. Seeing that Yan Ding was holding a bow and arrow in front was preparing to shoot the third arrow. When aiming, he suddenly threw the arrow and turned around and ran away. It was too late to run, and Li Meng caught up behind him and stabbed him in from the back with a shot.
The other two archers ended up similar to their companions, and they were caught up, which made them feel so heartbroken...
The salt dicks who were about to turn back immediately stopped. Li Meng pulled out his spear, kept shouting:
"What are he doing when he is standing there? He is fighting with me!"
The young people behind him who were still panicked just now came back to their senses by Li Meng's roar, and each rushed forward with spears.
The return Yan Ding was still hesitating whether to escape or fight. Li Meng had already rushed to the front and had to raise the big sword in his hand to meet him. However, the knife was not raised. Li Meng shook his arms and a spear pierced straight into his throat. He pressed and lifted his arms. The man was picked up by Li Meng and threw it out again.
The blood splashed out from the air and a blood line was spilling out in the air. The salt rods behind him were already yelling and rushed up. The salt dicks completely collapsed, and they threw down their weapons and ran around desperately.
Li Meng ran forward a few steps and poked over another one. The salt rods behind him passed one after another, and chased the salt dicks with the weapons in his hand. It was the easiest to chase and kill the fleeing enemies. Death in battle often occurred in this process. These young people who were scared just now were brave at this time because what they had to do was simple, just stab the spear behind them.
Li Meng leaned on the spear in his hand to the ground, bent down and gasped. Although he didn't do much of his movements just now, the thrilling situation was indeed very nervous. Seeing that the overall situation was settled, he felt relieved and felt his whole body was full of soreness.
It was a very sure battle, but I didn't expect that it would be so vulnerable to the attack when it encountered a bow and arrow. Nowadays, not to mention bow and arrow, muskets and cannons have begun to be equipped with troops on a large scale. If you encounter these long-range weapons, you will be defeated.
There were two people who stopped in place to breathe heavily. Li Meng turned around and saw that Zhao Neng looked even more embarrassed, sweating profusely. Seeing Li Meng's eyes, he couldn't help but complain:
"Watching the man's bow and arrow shot over, I was as frozen as I was. Fortunately, the turtle grandson did not shoot accurately."
The other person threw the spear aside and went to pick up the three bows and arrows. When he saw this person, Li Meng laughed. It was the young and energetic Ma Gang. Li Meng stood up and walked to Zhao Neng, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, pointed at Ma Gang and said with a smile:
"Old Zhao, the key is either an old brother like you, or you have to be a soldier like this."
Zhao Neng wiped his sweat and looked at the young people who were still chasing and chasing him hatefully:
"I practice like a person on weekdays, but when I encounter this scene, I'm stunned, a bunch of useless things."
"No wonder they are, look at us, aren't we so scared?"
Li Meng returned with a smile, stepped forward and kicked Ma Gang's butt, and laughed and scolded with anger:
"What are you still checking out? You want to be the deputy captain, take a look!"
Ma Gang jumped away with a "ouch". He was not nervous and asked blankly:
"What deputy captain, what!? Brother Li! You said I am the deputy captain."
The leader of Li Meng's salt transport team and the salt boiling team were both captains and deputy captains. They originally wanted to use the title of company and platoon, but others probably couldn't understand it, so they simply arranged it by the escort company. Until now, the captain is Li Meng, the deputy captains are Zhao Neng, Wang Hai, Chen Liuzi, and the people in the garrison are all very jealous.
Ma Gang looked incredible, and the bows and arrows in his hand fell to the ground. He knew that he was giggling foolishly, and Li Meng didn't care about him. This kid usually looked like a naughty man, not knowing that the sky was high and the earth was thick, but at this moment of life and death, he dared to rush out with the guy, and this was a good thing.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhao Neng beside him crying pain. When he hurriedly looked, he found that Zhao Neng's left arm was even cut open and bleeding. Zhao Neng pulled a piece of cloth there to be ready to tie it. Seeing Li Meng looking at him, he said with a wry smile:
"I just scratched the arrows of a few grandsons in front of me, and it only hurts at this time."
Fortunately, at such a close distance, Yan Ding, who had no training, was panicked and was unable to deviate from shooting arrows. If he was a little calmer, he would not be in this situation.
Li Meng shouted in front:
Chapter completed!
