Chapter 245 I'm not leaving!
This team of Xixia soldiers was about to break the fort, but unexpectedly, the situation took a sharp turn. With the unexpected defeat of the two main combat power Iron Harrier, the rest of the Xixia cavalry and infantry dispersed in horror. However, even though they were defeated, they did not forget to take away the two strong Hequ horses. The defenders of the Hu Fort were severely injured, and they were still in shock since Sun Zhanshi's achievements. They failed to seize this good opportunity and beat the dogs and snatched the two good horses.
However, the Western Xia soldiers retreated in a hurry, and the horses took them away, but the people stayed. Yes, the two iron kites and the armor were more than 200 kilograms, and one of them fell into the trench and could not be carried away at all.
At this time, Sun Zhangong had carried the two iron kites to the drying yard in the fort and lay horizontally. The two men's faces were covered with blood and covered with broken iron pieces, their noses were covered with tooths, and their eyes burst. However, this was not the reason for their death. They were still alive before being carried into the fort, and then they were ripped off by the angry Killing Hubao soldiers, and their iron pockets were pulled off, and their sticks were used to hit the brains and died.
Huang Jinlu and two military men stripped off the heavy armor of the Iron Harrier and rubbed it with love and were overjoyed.
"Military head, I'm afraid that Master Sun, the chief of the Jinning Army, may not have such good armor! You are the general of Lord Sun's family. You should give him a pair of armor and report the merits. Two iron kites! This merit... Last year, Shenquan Village reported his military merits and said that he had killed an iron kite, but he had neither obtained a good horse nor had his armor taken over, but he was rewarded. We will show our face this time when we kill Hubao!"
Huang Jinlu was happy and thought that he could move his position as a team leader, and he could not guarantee that he could replace Sun Zhangong. He presided over the killing of Hubao and rewarded money... Huang Jinlu was so beautiful that Sun Zhangong's words made him stunned.
"Did you and I kill these two iron kites? Did we kill the people who killed Hubao?"
Sun Zhangong shook his head, ignoring Huang Jinlu who was standing there, and asked the two soldiers to carry two heavy armors to walk under the south wall, lifting their heads and looking at Di Lie who was leaning against the wall with his stick, and the two unfathomable girls beside him.
"If there was no help from Di officials today, I would have killed Hu Fort, and I would have been destroyed. The officials are very kind. The top and bottom of Hu Fort are both impressed. I wish to support a car. Sun will send troops to thirty miles in person to cross the Yellow River." Sun Zhangong signaled the two soldiers behind him to hold the armor on the fort wall and put it at Di Lie's feet. He said solemnly: "This thing should belong to Di Official. Although Sun is a martial man, he has also received the order from the head of the family. He knows that the gentleman will not take away what others like."
"Head of the family? Who is your head?" Di Lie asked directly without looking at the two pairs of armor at his feet.
"It's so let the officials know. Sun was born in Sun's Mansion in Hexi, and I am the Taiyuan Road military commander Sun Gong'ang." When Sun Zhangong said this, he bowed respectfully to the northwest, and was very respectful to the execution.
Before the attack on Taiyuan, Di Lie's Pingding Army was indeed a bit far away from the Jinning Army. He could not reach that long, and the focus of intelligence was not on this. He roughly knew that the head of the Jinning Army was the former magistrate of the Song State, Xu Huiyan, and the roadside appeasement envoy of the Lan (Lanzhou) Shi (Shizhou) and the deputy was Sun Ang, the commander of the Taiyuan Road Army. Unexpectedly, the guru who killed Hubao was actually Sun Ang's family general.
Di Lie nodded, stretched out his hand, easily lifted the armor weighing dozens of kilograms, and observed it carefully. But he saw that the armor was lined with thick cooked cowhide, and the armor piece was herringbone, about half an inch thick, with a bright color, faintly blue, and was crisp and pleasant to the ears. He used his fingers to break the armor piece, which was elastic and had good steel and fire. Although the armor was covered with swords and gun marks, some of the armor pieces were seriously deformed and needed to be repaired before use, it was undoubtedly a rare good armor, not much worse than the pair of Qing Party armor he had obtained before.
After seeing this, Di Lie threw it on the ground casually, and said quietly: "The thing is good, but I don't want to add nearly 100 kilograms of unimportant items to the car. Please give these two pairs of armor to Xu Fushuai and Sun Dujian for me. I hope that the two adults will resist Xia and fight against Jin, and add new achievements."
Sun Zhangong was surprised and happy, thanked him repeatedly, and said that if Di Lie was not in a hurry to rush, he could wait here for a few days to show his merits. Although Ye Dieer and Zhao Yuqian knocked down the two iron kites, in Sun Zhangong's eyes, their identities were Di Lie's "maids", so whether their seizures or credits should belong to Di Lie, the "master".
Di Lie's answer was also very straightforward, hurry! Why not? If you don't have any trouble, you will give it to the defenders of Hubao, and you will use it as a ritual for staying in the house.
This made everyone in the entire Khahu Fort grateful. Sun Zhangong once again spoke to keep him, saying that it was almost noon. When he set off at this time, it was dark when he arrived at the Yellow River Ferry. It was neither convenient to transition nor sleep at night. It was better to set off early tomorrow morning. Moreover, the double-rod van in the fort was mostly unused, and it was mostly damaged. It was better to ask the old carpenter in the fort to inspect and repair it and then go on the road.
Sun Zhangong's suggestion is very prudent, and Di Lie is right to think about it. It will be better if he delays this half day. It is best to leave tomorrow morning.
Di Lie left enough three people to eat three meals today last night. He thought he would eat on the road, but he didn't want to consume it in the fort. What about tomorrow's food? Forget it, if you think about it tomorrow, you'll hunt it if it really doesn't work. Carry Barrett to hunt. As long as it's visible animals, you probably won't run away.
The next step was to clean up the battlefield. In this battle, the Hu Fort Hu killed a lot of casualties. More than ten people died on the spot, almost all of them were killed by the two Iron Harriers, which was the most casualties in recent years. After this battle, there were less than ten people in the fort guarding.
While commanding the cleaning, Sun Zhangong asked a powerful soldier to set off to Jialuzhai, the Jinning Army's garrison, to report his military achievements and to apply for supplementary services. If there is no food or salary, the killing of Hu Fort would be really impossible to defend.
While Xiaoliu and Gouzi were busy, they looked up from time to time to look at the two girls standing beside Di Lie. However, their eyes were not more likely to stop at the bright face, but to the waist of the two girls. The strange-shaped iron pipe inserted in the leather case would spark fire and make loud noises. It was that small thing that saved their lives. Two sounds, the two fierce iron kites turned into dead kites. It was really magical...
Di Lie held his arms and looked at the sunset gradually falling in the sky. For some reason, he always felt that things would not be so smooth...
...
April 25th, early morning, it was already the three-day period that Di Lie himself had set, but he was still hundreds of miles away from Taiyuan, in a remote border town fort. This road to return was really tortuous!
When Di Lie barely came to the enemy building at Ximen with his stick and saw hundreds of Xixia soldiers in the distance, more than half of them were cavalry, and more than ten cavalry armored and equipped iron kites, he knew that he could not leave again.
Sun Zhangong was almost crazy. He grabbed Hedgeha Zhang's beard in disbelief and murmured to himself: "What's the reason? I've been here for three years to kill Hubao. When the bald thief attacked the most urgently, it took half a month. It's normal that he had not seen any harassment for several months. Why are he now killing him several times..."
Huang Jinlu, the former bandit who is known as brave, now has a blue face and white lips. His eyes are full of despair. Now, there are thirty people who can take weapons in this Killing Hu Fort, but there are hundreds of enemies. Moreover, there are more than ten Iron Harrier heavy cavalry... God! Today is unlucky...
"I can guess a little." Di Lie narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he didn't use the scope, he still vaguely saw a familiar figure. He extended his instructions to Sun Zhangong to look, "See, the group of iron kites are surrounded by the Pihui Knights in the center. This person came yesterday. Seeing that the Xia soldiers attacking the fort were not supported, he sent Iron kites to guard the left and right sides. When the Iron kites were defeated, the person also left angrily. Well, I know the source of the uneasiness yesterday..."
Sun Zhangong nodded: "This must be the leader of the thief, and his status is not low, he can even impose more than ten iron kites. Alas! I didn't expect that killing Hubao was eventually destroyed by this person..."
Di Lie patted Sun Zhangong on the shoulder, slapped the shirt on the leather armor, and said calmly: "Sun Zuo is a soldier who is loyal to his duties. For everyone and for myself, I will help you."
Sun Zhangong smiled bitterly: "The hidden weapon in your maid's hand is indeed quite powerful, but it's a pity..." He shook his head and said nothing more. He also saw the flash of fire and sound yesterday, but he thought it was a powerful hidden weapon. Sudden attacks can achieve miraculous effects, but on the battlefield, it is useless. In fact, Sun Zhangong was not wrong. The Eagle-mouth gun can only shoot at close range, and a single shot is basically only available once on the battlefield. So to a certain extent, it is a hidden weapon.
Di Lie didn't say much, walked straight away and walked to the end of the south wall. From here to the Ximen Episode Tower, it was hundreds of meters away. Basically no one could see what he was doing. Di Lie put down his crutch, sat between the two mercerations, opened the gun box, and began to assemble the sniper rifle.
After all, Ye Die'er had an adventure with Di Lie. He knew his intention at first sight and approached him and whispered: "Your Highness wants to kill that thief leader?"
Di Lie nodded: "Yes, even if you are for others and yourself, you can't fall into the trap. The Xia army commanded an elite guard like Tie Yaozi, who should be a big figure. Because of this, I let him go yesterday and didn't want to cause trouble for killing Hubao... But now it seems that some people are too ungrateful. In order to avoid trouble, they let him go yesterday; in order to eliminate trouble, they must be killed today."
While speaking, Di Lie kept his hands, as he assembled and combined the seemingly unrelated metal parts into a silver-white sniper rifle that was nearly one meter five long. The smooth lined gun body, the bright metal texture, was full of power beauty.
This is the first time Zhao Yuqian has seen the true face of this legendary "magic gun". It is completely different from the one I imagined. It really has a bit of the style of the Tianzhu Army musket. However, under the sunlight, the shiny and bright, it is really exquisite, and it is beyond the reach of a musket.
Di Lie stood up the bipod on the mercedes, his eyes approached the scope, and calculated it through the dense location. The distance between the target and the target was about 850 meters. From the naked eye, it was only the size of a fingernail. Moreover, it was wide on all sides, with vast plains, strong wind power, and the wind direction was not very good, which had a great impact on far-distance snipers. However, it also had a convenient point, that is, the target was a fixed target, and it was riding on a tall and healthy horse, which was eye-catching and clear.
Di Lie adjusted his body to a more comfortable position and felt that he was hurting his leg. He had changed his gauze today and had not suppurated and recovered well. He was used to the pain and should not affect his performance.
Di Lie first hung his hands in the air, observed carefully with his eyes for a while, and expressed satisfaction with the stability of his arm. He pressed on a box of original bullets, adjusted the ruler and eyepiece, and made the sight of the target chest and abdomen, silently calculated the wind speed, humidity, height, distance... His right index finger pressed the plate machine with a slight pressure, breathing slowly and steadily, and relaxed the whole body. He only tightened his index finger at the moment of breathing.
At this moment, the drums and thunder sounded. The attack of the Xixia army began.
The moment the drum sounded, he focused his attention on Di Lie's two women, which was so scared that he was shocked. However, Di Lie did not move at all, uh, it was wrong, he moved, and his right index finger suddenly pulled down
The two girls had already used a telescope to lock the target. Of course, the simple monocular telescope in their hands was far from comparable to Di Lie's scope. However, they could still see the tiny figure clearly. Suddenly, a blood mist rose from the camera... The blood mist dissipated, the horse was still there, and there was no trace of the person.
"It's done." Di Lie let out a long breath and moved his shoulders. Barrett's recoil was still quite strong. In the past, his body was strong and nothing was wrong. But now he was injured and he lost a support point. He was shocked by the butt stock. He almost fell backwards. He had not fired long distance live ammunition for a long time, 850 meters, approaching the limit of conventional snipers. Fortunately, he didn't miss it.
The Western Xia soldiers were beating drums with great strength, and the cavalry and infantry raised their swords and guns, with bows and arrows in their hands, gathered together into a formation, ready to break through with one blow. To kill Hu Fort, Sun Zhangong was in a dilemma between fighting and surrender: the battle was very different from the enemy and us, and it was only a disaster for us to suffer lives. There were dozens of lives in the fort; if you surrender, what would you like to see the head of the family again? Huang Jinlu was trying hard to persuade him that this kind of defeated but not victorious battle could not be fought. Taking advantage of the bald thief, oh, no, the Xia army had not yet reached the top of the city, hurry up and fight the white flag...
At this moment, the Western Xia soldiers suddenly had a turmoil and panic. The more than ten cavalry escorted the formation of Iron Harriers first turned around and fled wildly. Then nearly a hundred cavalry and infantry spread out in panic. When they were still fifty or sixty steps away from the Killing Hu Fort, they were like a heavy snow ball rolling in, suddenly scattered, collapsed, and rushed to escape. Many soldiers were squeezed to the ground and trampled to death...
Sun Zhangong, Huang Jinlu and others, who were undecided, were stunned and as if they were dreaming.
Finally, the group of rats were driven away. Di Lie laughed and called Xiao Liu and Dogzi, who were still in a daze, to see if there were any living people, and dragged one back. Xiao Liu and Dogzi, and went away in a daze. Later, they indeed dragged back a half-dead Xixia infantryman. The man was trampled on his left foot and several ribs. The bone stubble might pierce into his lungs, and blood foam kept coming out of his mouth. It was probably not long.
Di Lie ignored the group of people who had to escape the disaster by killing Hu Fort. He was lying on the ground to thank the soldiers and civilians who were full of gods and Buddhas in the sky, and quickly interrogated the prisoner, mainly asking who the Xia army commander who was sniped to death and why he used cannons to kill mosquitoes, and putting so much energy into dealing with this small fort.
Fortunately, these Western Xia soldiers stationed in the fortress for many years, confronted the Song army, and communicated with each other in language, and the news they received was shocking.
The commander of the Xia army was named Li Zhiyong, and his identity was the son of the Xia general Li Liangfu. Because he had just been granted military position, he came to the left-wing Shenyong Army Office to inspect. In order to exercise his abilities, he wanted to find a small fort that is neither strong nor weak to fight Caogu. Yesterday, the group of Xia soldiers attacked and killed Hubao and gained a lot. When they returned, they were about to come to inspect. Once they talked about it, they were right in their minds and chose to kill Hubao.

Di Lie immediately wrote a letter in secret words, containing a yellow bullet in the token. Then he handed the two horses to Xiaoliu and Gouzi, and he was very happy that these two people would ride horses when they were on the border for a long time.
Now there is only one last difficult thing left. How to break through the patrol interception?
"Just just rush to rush, I will help you two." Di Lie patted Xiao Liu and Gouzi on the shoulders, then picked up Barrett's lever and entered the enemy building. The two women held the guns to guard the entrance of the building for Di Lie.
As soon as Xiaoliu and Gouzi left the fort, Xixia patrol cavalry surrounded him, but there were still a hundred steps away from the two. Among the Xixia patrol cavalry, one of them suddenly exploded a big hole in his chest and the other horse head shattered... The sudden and tragic scene scared the remaining patrol cavalry, and they all fled in all directions and ran away from a distance. Xiaoliu and Gouzi took the opportunity to ride a horse and whip it, and broke away.
