Chapter 88: Wu San Dog Exchanges Life for Life (Part 2)
Wu San's sudden move was successful, and he immediately held a flying knife in his hand, rapidly pouncing on the long spear soldiers in front of him who were burned by the soup and retreated in pain. He led his own generals to step forward quickly, kicking over the soldier facing him with one foot, while holding the flying knife upside down in his hand, aiming at the soldier's wrist and stabbing down quickly.
The official soldier's pulse at the wrist suddenly flowed with blood as the knife pierced, and he felt powerless in his hand. In an instant, the long gun he held was also snatched away by Wu Sangou.
When Wu San Dog snatched the gun with one hand, his other hand was already aiming at Meng Du's war horse. He took advantage of the momentum to throw out the last flying knife fiercely. Before he could finish speaking, he had already grabbed a long spear in his hand and, taking advantage of the chaos among the soldiers, swung it to open up a killing spree.
In his earlier years, Wu San Ge had also practiced knife fighting with others for a few years and Chen Da had taught him several shooting techniques. However, in Wu San Ge's heart, the majesty of knives had already taken precedence, and he liked the bold and powerful killing aura of large knives. In comparison, guns seemed to have a bit more elegance, although they were also more intricate. But when it came to actual use, Wu San Ge found that guns couldn't compare to the satisfaction of using knives. Due to their differing personal preferences, Wu San Ge eventually stopped learning from Chen Da.
Wu San Dog now held a steel spear in his hand, and suddenly, apart from slashing and stabbing randomly, he really couldn't come up with any moves that could cause fatal injuries. In his anxiety, he saw the leader of the government soldiers gradually regaining consciousness, but not yet close enough to reach Meng Du's side. If he didn't take down this villain within this brief moment, then everything would be too late once he regained consciousness.
Wu San Dog has already staked his life and the lives of these hundreds of brothers here. If we don't kill this treacherous dog, then when the mighty army breaks into the city, let alone the thousands of brothers currently in the city, even if several thousand more come, they won't be able to withstand the military's charge. Brother Chen Da is injured, and if he doesn't escape when the city falls, he will surely die. If he rides a horse and manages to break through the siege, his injuries will worsen and he will also die. Therefore, this small Huayin County, which normally seems insignificant, today holds such profound significance for Wu San Dog. This battle cannot be lost, and this city cannot fall. The outcome of everything hangs in the balance at this very moment.
Wu San Gou took a step forward, his long spear sweeping horizontally in front of him, using it as a fire poker to scatter the gunheads pointing outwards. The spear's long body swung through the air, instantly creating a larger gap. Wu San Gou charged forward, trampling on the bodies of the frontline soldiers and sprinting towards Meng Du Jian. At this moment, he no longer cared whether the gunheads behind him could be deflected by his horizontal sweep, but instead used all his strength to tread on the shoulders and helmets of the long spearmen, charging straight at Meng Du Jian like a bird in flight. Behind Wu San Gou, his brothers followed closely, picking up broken knives and halberds to frantically kill the long spearman's protective matrix.
In the blink of an eye, Wu San Dog had already trampled three rows of soldiers and was now standing on the shoulders of the last row. With a loud shout, he used the momentum from his footwork to leap forward and thrust his gun at Meng Du's chest.
At this moment, Meng Dujuan was wounded with two knives, but he still controlled the frightened horses with all his might amidst the chaos. He believed too much in the strength of his officers and soldiers, and underestimated the hundred or so good men from Shao Huashan in front of him. Because he ignored the background of these people, they were originally fugitives who had fallen into the underworld, and now they were desperate, even more terrifying was that there were killers like Wu Sanlang among them.
But just now, when he felt the pain of the flying knife entering his body, he was still awake and thought that this sneak attack was the last move of the hundred or so people in front of him. In the formation he had set up, the row of independent shield-wielding soldiers in front of the formation would be enough to immediately kill anyone who made a disturbance with their chaotic gunfire. However, when he finally managed to calm down his startled horse and struggled to get back on his feet, Meng Dujuan did not see the scene he had expected in his mind. He never could have imagined that the hundred or so desperate fugitives not only hadn't been pierced like a beehive by his shield-wielding soldiers, but instead his own troops had been killed in an instant, with one of the bandits from Shao Huashan even trampling on the bodies of the soldiers as if they were flat ground. After letting out a loud shout, he charged forward, spear at the ready.
At this moment, Meng Dujuan was shocked in his heart, but he quickly picked up the big knife hanging on the horse's side buckle and cut it out horizontally against Wu Sangou's long gun.
Only a loud crash was heard, and Meng Dujuan faintly felt some hidden pain in his tiger's mouth. Wu Sanlang was even more blocked by this knife, and he fell to the ground with half of his body in mid-air. Meng Dujuan took advantage of this brief moment to glance at the battlefield. At this time, those dare-to-die hundred men from Shaohua Mountain were already fighting hand-to-hand with the long spear formation, while the generals had also regained their senses and charged forward on horseback, wanting to immediately slaughter all the people from Shaohua Mountain. However, they were unexpectedly blocked by the shield wall of the officers and soldiers, and for a moment, they were anxious but unable to do anything.
Meng Dujuan shouted "Move!" and swung his knife at Wu Sangou, who was falling to the ground. Wu Sangou saw the blade coming down and rolled away from the deadly blow, immediately following up with a spinning kick that sent him flipping back onto his feet. As he stood up, Wu Sangou swept his leg horizontally, instantly knocking over several officers and soldiers who were closing in on him, as well as breaking the legs of their horses.
At this moment, Shi Jin standing on the city gate was suddenly shocked by Wu Sanlang's sudden move and held his breath. He watched as he was submerged in the army's formation, and Shi Jin's heart became even tighter. Just as he raised his long spear to charge down from the city, he saw that the official soldiers standing in the front row of the Meng Dujiang-led army were immediately transformed into strange changes under the control of the commander's order.
Those crescent-shaped shield arrays formed by the shields began to move, and the two long spear arrays on either side also moved in opposition to each other, with the two smaller arrays closest to the west gate moving in a pincer movement, just like Shi Jing had seen before. The entire vanguard was like a cruel blood basin giant mouth that was about to bite down in the middle, looking as if it would crush the daredevil hundred-man team led by Wu San Gou to death.
Just as this formation began to move, Shi Jing saw the terrifying aspect of it. It was not only a tiger's mouth full of sharp teeth, but also an iron bag with armor all over its body. Once the two small formations' wings approached each other, it meant that not only would the brothers be surrounded and trapped in the enemy formation, but also that Shi Jing would be worried to death. The two crescent-shaped shield formations merged, and if they charged forward at this moment, they wouldn't be able to break through, but instead would be shot dead by the archers hidden behind the shields from a hundred paces away. This was what really made people die of anger. If Shi Jing's guess was correct, this formation had another layer of variation. Once this large vanguard began to rotate, it would surround one group and turn them clockwise to one side, while replacing them with another team in the original position. It was like feeding death into the mouths of the government soldiers bit by bit. If Shi Jing simply charged forward and broke through the vanguard into the main formation, he would really have no chance at all!
