Chapter 51: The Giant Man with a Hammer (Please collect and read)

Half an hour later.

They quickly marched and put on their armor. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Xu County, they descended into the mountains, passed the earthen wall of Siyang Town, and arrived at a residence near Liujiabao, where they hid.

“Is there a sharpshooter?”

“Shoot the two martial artists on the watchtower to death.”

Xu County Lieutenant turned his head and glanced at the dozen military attachés behind him.

At this time, they were about six to seven hundred steps away from Liujiabao.

At this distance, only the sharpshooters in the army, drawing a five-stone hard bow, could kill the two martial arts masters watching the sentry in the sentry tower.

 Even if ordinary people are accurate enough, it is difficult for them to have such great strength.

More than a dozen military attachés looked at each other.

Although they are good at martial arts, their shooting skills and strength are not enough to kill someone in six hundred steps.

Five-stone hard bow, generally only martial arts masters can achieve this level.

"The general is willing to go." When Wei Tu saw this, he didn't waste any words. After bowing to Captain Xu, he accepted the task.

After Xuanhe Lou Yi said goodbye, Fu Zhizhou asked his three sworn brothers to refine their martial arts and train soldiers in order to make achievements today.

 Wei Tu took off the five-stone hard bow from Qing Cong's horse, bent the bow and set an arrow, and pointed it at the two martial arts masters on the Liujiabao sentry tower.

He shot an arrow first.

While the strings were ringing, he turned over again, changed his position, turned the bow to his right hand, then pulled the strings with his left hand, and shot another arrow.

Two arrows, one in front and one in back.

Out in a flash.

It was right in the chest of the two warriors patrolling the watchtower.

“The archery skills of the guardsmen are superb by firing bows from left to right! After Liujiapu is captured this time, I will credit the guardsmen with great merit!”

Xu County Lieutenant's eyes lit up when he saw Wei Tu's shooting skills, and he couldn't help but praise him.

He used to be a martial artist, or a martial artist, but because he had been an official for a long time and neglected to practice, his back muscles had regenerated, and now he could no longer draw a strong bow.

The martial artist watching the sentry is dead.

Seeing this situation, more than a dozen military attaches did not hesitate. They immediately ordered their soldiers to attack Liujiabao according to Xu County Lieutenant's previous deployment.

Including Wei Fei.

Wei Fei, the "capital instructor", was still a bit weak in front of Xu County Lieutenant, so he also led a group of soldiers this time.

When Wei Tu, who had just shot two arrows, saw this scene, his eyes flickered for a few times, and he used his inner strength to force out the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then he gasped for air, pretending that he was exhausted. , falling behind others.

It is difficult to open a five-stone bow, so his performance will not arouse any suspicion.

It wasn't until more than a dozen military officers rushed into Liu's Fort that Wei Tu picked up his gold-backed sword and followed the soldiers behind him to go in together.

This time he shot and killed the two martial artists in the watchtower, and he made a great contribution, which was no less than the achievement of being the first to ascend the city during the siege.

So, it would not be good for him to follow other military attachés to attack Liujiapu and **** the credit.

You will be hated by others!

Secondly.

The rural examination will be held next year.

If you pass the provincial examination and become a martial arts examiner, you can be awarded the seventh or eighth rank military officer.

Today, these military officers who have performed meritorious service can only be promoted to two or three levels at most, and they are still classified as miscellaneous officials.

This is not as good as him becoming a military officer and becoming an official.

Last point, no one knows how the battle in Liujiabao will proceed...

Lying behind everyone, he can adapt to changes. If there is a strong enemy, he can retreat immediately to ensure his own life.

Wei Tu knew in his heart that he became a military attaché to improve his status, not to serve the Zheng court.

“Since the guards are exhausted, they will go to the rear together with me...”

After entering Liujiabao, Xu County Lieutenant saw Wei Tu panting and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord County Lieutenant." After hearing this, Wei Tu no longer tried to be tough, and immediately retreated, standing behind Lieutenant Xu, acting as a bodyguard.

At this time, Wei Tu had time to observe the battlefield in Liujiabao.

Although the urgent march was a mob, under the leadership of more than a dozen military attachés, they marched step by step, holding round shields, and pushed towards the interior of Liujiabao step by step.

From time to time, several burly men poured out of Liujiabao's house, armed with weapons, and entered the battle formation to fight.

Even though these burly men had the strength to tear apart tigers and leopards and kill galloping horses, they gradually became exhausted after being surrounded by a shield formation and killing several soldiers.

The Xiang army's advance was overwhelming.

Having hardly encountered any tough opponents.

However.

Just when everyone in the government thought the dust had settled. A giant man with muscles all over his body, wearing black armor and carrying a big hammer on his back, walked out of the living room. He glanced at the formation of officers and soldiers and cursed: "The imperial court is getting worse and worse. Attacks and killings in the dark. It’s against the right path!”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for anyone to defend himself, he took the hammer off his back and smashed it into the shield formation of officers and soldiers who were about ten steps away from him.

Dang! clang! clang!

The round shield was instantly smashed by the terrifying force. One of the soldiers in the lead had his head smashed by the hammer, leaving red and white blood all over the floor.

Other soldiers who were slightly touched by this hammer would be instantly lifted up to a height of more than one foot.

A few face-to-face efforts.

Thirty or forty elite Xiang troops died tragically in an instant.

This is even greater damage than the attack on Liujiabao just now.

In addition to the damage, there are also the hearts of people who were crushed by this giant man with a hammer.

The hundreds of soldiers from the Xiang army who came from Qingshan County were improvised. If they win the battle, they will not be able to tell the difference between them and the real elite.

But at this moment, his strength was blunted and he suffered such heavy damage, the morale of the army was instantly unstable.

Many soldiers fled in fear.

“Reform our formation. Anyone who dares to escape will be immediately beheaded!” Xu County Lieutenant roared angrily, drew out the sword from his waist, and casually beheaded a soldier who escaped from the battle.

soon.

More than a dozen escaped soldiers were killed one by one by the supervising team.

The military's morale was sober.

Tackled the giant hammer man in front of him again.

“If you don’t kill the chief officer, I will be killed by them sooner or later if I am here today.” The giant man with a hammer stood with the hammer in his hand and took a few breaths, feeling that the officers and soldiers in front of him were in trouble.

Just now, he hammered down thirty or forty soldiers with armor and shields, spending nearly half of his energy. He originally wanted to frighten the officers and soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the chief officer of the officers and soldiers was not a straw bag, but actually stabilized the morale of the army.

"Wei Jun Envoy, you will be able to regain your strength now. We will find the right opportunity later." Xu County Lieutenant approached Wei Tu and whispered.

There are only two ways to deal with heavy armored infantry like the Hammer Man who are armed to the teeth.

One is to fill it with human life and consume it to death.

The other is to take the time to fire arrows and kill him with one blow from a weak point.

"I...try..." When Wei Tu heard this, he felt helpless and had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

Although his archery skills are feasible, if you want to kill the giant hammer man, you can only start with his exposed eyes.

On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly.

This is much more difficult than shooting the two sentinel warriors five hundred paces away.

Staring at the movements of the giant hammer man, Wei Tu relaxed his mind, bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the giant hammer man's eyes, and shot three arrows in a row.

Collapse! collapse! collapse!

Three bowstrings sounded.

but-

The result was unexpected.

Of the three arrows Wei Tu shot, the first two missed the hammer giant's eye by an inch and failed to hit.

But when the last arrow was about to hit, it was blocked by the palm of the giant man with a hammer, and his hands were broken.

"What a sharp archer! Look at my hammer!" The giant hammer man shouted angrily, swung his hammer hard and threw it in the direction of Wei Tu.

The giant man with a hammer shook his eardrums to the point where his eardrums were ringing.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Wei Tu, who had just finished shooting three arrows and was about to take a breath, heard the sound of a heavy object tearing through the air next to his ears. He was suddenly horrified and did not even bother to raise his eyes to see what the heavy object was. Start and roll hard to the left to avoid the attack.

next moment.

There was a loud bang next to my ears.

Weitu looked sideways and saw the hundred-jun heavy hammer thrown by the giant hammer man towards him and hit the ground with a "clang".

At the same time, Wei Tu also felt a dull pain in the right side of his abdomen.

He looked down and muttered to himself, "It's very dangerous."

It turned out that he had not completely escaped the heavy blow from the giant hammer man just now, but fortunately he had forged fine armor before the battle.

This time, the fine armor and cotton clothes he wore helped him withstand the blow.

“In the future, we will never be able to be in the limelight like we are today.”

“One must be careful…”

Seeing that he was almost killed this time, Wei Tu calmed down and warned himself secretly.

Had he not reacted in time this time and made sufficient preparations before the battle, the blow from the giant hammer man just now, even if it could not kill him, would have paralyzed him for the rest of his life and made him a cripple.
