Chapter 502: Arrows raining down, hand-to-hand combat(1/2)
"Phew, it's finally over."
Qin Wei held on to the battlements, panting heavily, and breathed a long sigh of relief as he looked at the Beidi army leaving under the city wall.
"Serena, are you okay?"
Qin Rui walked over anxiously, pulled Qin Wei up, looked up and down carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Qin Wei was fine.
Qin Wei saw the joking looks in his comrades' eyes and couldn't help but hurriedly pulled Qin Rui to his office.
After closing the door, Qin Wei relaxed and said helplessly: "Father, it's very shameful for you to leave me outside like this."
Qin Ruihun said nonchalantly: "You kids are the ones who care about face."
Qin Wei was puzzled and asked: "That's not right. I think many adults are very concerned about face, right?"
Qin Rui poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and then said: "My Lord never cares about face, only about lining. What is lining is pure profit. As for what you said about the Lord caring about face, that depends on what you want."
Compared with the loss of face, the benefit brought by this face to him is greater or smaller. If it is greater, he will kiss and abandon his face immediately; if it is small, he will protect his face."
After hearing this, Qin Wei opened his mouth in surprise and shook his head, indicating that he could not accept it.
"You adults are so complicated."
Qin Rui didn't know what he thought of. He turned to look at Qin Wei, shook his head and said with a smile: "You still look like a child who hasn't grown up. When I was this big, I couldn't plan anything by myself."
Qin Wei said unconvinced: "People are like this nowadays. What you are doing is a problem of the times, not mine."
Qin Rui was stunned for a moment and murmured to himself: "A question of the times? What a good answer. When I was young, I faced the disaster of spiritual tide, which was so imminent that it forced our generation to
He has matured and taken up the important responsibilities of the times. Fortunately, the Holy Emperor emerged from the sky and prevented the spiritual catastrophe from coming. Otherwise, our generation may all be buried in this land."
It's okay if Qin Rui doesn't mention Qin Yi, but when Qin Yi is mentioned, Qin Wei becomes even more unconvinced.
Especially when his father talked about Qin Yi, he also used the honorific title "Holy Emperor".
"Isn't it the catastrophe of the spiritual tide? It was said as if it was very serious, but in the end it was not solved so easily? And this war, although it was said to be serious before the war, the result was not to use military souls to fight against
After bombing it a few times, will it be over in a hurry?"
Qin Rui looked at Qin Wei, shook his head slightly and said: "Every time the spiritual tide disaster occurs, nine out of ten houses in the Central Plains are empty? Do you think it's not serious? Beidi's front army alone has 100,000 people. Do you think this war will happen?"
Did you do it hastily? Xiaowei, you are still too young, have you ever thought about what would have happened to us if we had not blocked Beidi's totem today?"
Qin Wei couldn't help but think about it. After the Great Wall was breached, countless soldiers lost the honor guard of the fortress. Facing the raging enemy totems, they desperately resisted, but they could only block the car with their arms like a mantis. It was useless. The entire Qin family army was slaughtered.
Then they broke through the Great Wall defense line, went deep into Changping County, and began to raid, killing countless unarmed people.
Qin Wei shuddered and immediately shook his head vigorously, as if to shake this cruel scene out of his mind.
"Didn't we block it? Such a thing will not happen."
Qin Rui gently stroked Qin Wei's hair and sighed: "Silly boy, the battle just now was just a competition of the overall strength of the army. Only when we blocked it were we qualified to enter the stalemate stage."
"Stalemate stage?"
Qin Rui looked at the north with a worried face and said: "Today's battle is just the prelude to this great war. From tomorrow on, it will be the real offensive and defensive battle. Only then will you see the war.
of cruelty."
…
Samole opened the tent dejectedly and walked inside. He saw Aguda gently wiping his bow and arrows with a soft cloth. Samole put his hand on his chest and said.
"Aguda."
Aguda glanced at Samole, continued to arrange his bow and arrows, and asked with a smile: "Why, I am very disappointed that I did not win the Great Wall in one battle."
Shamolle nodded angrily and said: "These southerners are so abominable. They clearly learned our totem magic, but they actually used it to deal with us. Without these totems, we would definitely be able to break the Great Wall and go deep into the Central Plains.
"At that time, we will have food, cloth, women, everything, and we can capture many slaves to sacrifice to the gods, so that the gods can bestow more blessings."
Aguda shook his head and laughed: "What you said, just let the southerners not resist, and you can kill them as you like."
Samole also knew what he said, and it was a bit childish. However, thinking of his mother and three younger siblings who were suffering from cold and starvation at home, Samole's eyes became firm again: "I heard that there will be another attack tomorrow, and,
This time it’s not just totem confrontation, but also close combat. We finally have a place to use it. If we can kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, even if we die, our family will be rewarded and we can survive the snowstorm."
Hearing this, Aguda's movements froze, nodded slightly, looked back to the north, his eyes became gentle: "We left all the Anjia's food at home, and we don't know how they are living north of Yinshan Mountain now.
Sample?"
Shamolle looked at the grass at his feet, his eyes became more determined, and he suddenly raised his head and said to Aguda: "It's really hard in the north of Yinshan Mountain. Why don't we come to live in the south of Yinshan Mountain? Is it because of those despicable people?
The southerners? Just kill them all so that they dare not come to this grassland, right?"
Hearing this, Aguda's expression was slightly startled, and he laughed and said: "I heard my Aguda say that in the past, there would be a disaster for the southerners every three hundred years, and we would go south to herd horses.
Enjoy this treasure land with favorable climate and rich water and grass south of Yinshan Mountain. However, this time there was an accident, and a hero from the south came out to end this disaster. We also lost this opportunity. However, starting from last year
, north of Yinshan Mountain, there is a snowstorm, our survival is difficult, no matter how slim the chance of winning is, we have to fight."
After hearing this, Samole was full of respect for the disaster of the Southerners.
"If the southerners had not solved the disaster, we would have arrived south of Yinshan Mountain by now, and our family would no longer have to suffer from cold and hunger."
Shamolle thought of his little brother who died of cold and starvation just after birth, and couldn't help but feel a trace of hatred as he looked toward the Great Wall in the south.
"Aguda, we can definitely break the Great Wall and find a way to survive."
Aguda nodded silently and continued to wipe the missing arrows in his hands.
…
Not long after the early morning sun rose, the sound of horse hooves could be heard again from the northern grassland, making the soldiers in the entire Great Wall Fortress nervous.
Qin Wei and Qin Hui were grouped together and were assigned to a sentry tower in the middle. Their eyes looking towards the north became solemn.
"I thought their momentum would drop after yesterday's defeat. Unexpectedly, one night later, their momentum became even stronger. These Di people really cannot be treated with common sense."
Qin Wei's words were recognized by Qin Hui.
In the battle in the Central Plains, he won the first battle and his momentum surged.
If you fail in the first battle, your momentum will be greatly reduced.
However, this rule seems to have completely failed when it comes to Di people.
"coming!"
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the Beidi army stopped several miles away.
Each totem rose up and approached the Great Wall again.
The military spirits that had been prepared in the Great Wall rose up one by one and flew out of the Great Wall again. When they met the totems outside the city, they started fighting like animals.
From the Beidi formation, dozens of wolf knights wearing iron armor flew out and stepped forward to call for formation.
"Cowardly southerners, if you have the guts, challenge us to a duel."
The Qin family army also flew out dozens of captains composed of Jindan realm.
"The Di people are rampant and seeking death."
"kill!"
They fought in the air below the battle between the military spirit and the totem.
Three square formations came out from behind the Beidi formation and kept pressing towards the Great Wall. At the same time, someone blew the horn.
These phalanxes drew their bows and fired arrows in unison, and the arrows fell like rain towards the Great Wall.
The sound of drums came from the Chinese army.
At the same time, the messengers in each district began to shout military orders loudly.
"shield!"
Qin Wei and Qin Hui quickly waved their shields to block, and long arrows landed on the Great Wall one after another.
After it was over, Qin Wei looked down and found that only a few people were injured and no soldier died. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. However, Qin Wei retracted his body and still asked Qin Hui beside him in confusion.
: "Why doesn't the commander use a barrier to stop him?"
Qin Hui took advantage of the gap and quickly stood up and looked at the Di army in the north. Hearing the sound of horns again, he quickly leaned over and huddled behind the wall of the sentry tower. While nervously stroking the round shield in his hand, he said: "Do you think the Great Wall
The barrier is endless. Every time the barrier is opened or blocked, energy is consumed. If the energy is exhausted and there is no barrier, how can the Great Wall be defended?"
Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this was what happened. He had only learned about the existence of a barrier on the Great Wall yesterday and had never thought about this problem.
"So, in a situation like this, we can only endure it?"
Qin Hui nodded and said, "Yes."
At this time, hearing the change of drum sound and the familiar military order, Qin Hui quickly reminded Qin Wei: "Raise your shield."
Qin Wei quickly raised his shield to block the attack.
After another near miss, Qin Wei took this opportunity to look down again and found that someone was dead this time. A trace of sadness appeared on his face.
He turned around and said to Qin Hui with a frustrated look on his face: "Someone is dead in the square formation below us. This is what I saw. What I didn't see, I don't know how many more are there?"
Qin Hui glanced at the Di army in the north, retracted his body, and said in silence for a moment: "There is no undead person in war."
Qin Wei naturally knew this truth, but he knew it, but when he actually encountered it, he still found it difficult to accept it.
