Chapter 181: Defending the City (2)
The sun slowly migrated, and at some point, it had migrated overhead, and noon should have arrived. Hu Xiu kept staring, peeking out through the heavy armor on his head.
The beast behind still rushed inside, not tired, and sniffed the smell of blood in the air. Or it's not right, it can't be called the smell of blood, I feel that the air I breathe, all with blood, sucked into the lungs, I feel a burst of nausea.
The walls of wild beasts on both sides were piled up like hills, and they were terrible high. In just one morning, I killed an unknown number of beasts, and I am afraid that there are tens of thousands...
But even such a wall of flesh like a "steel wall" has suffered another casualty, and there are three more corpses.
Although there are "Roshan" on both sides, large animals can't climb over, but some small and ferocious animals can come.
Like wolves, cheetahs, tigers, etc., they are agile and fast, although they will not do any harm to the heavy armor. But it couldn't stand the large amount, and the group attacked it, but it was fierce and abnormal, and it was very clever to poke at the gap between the armor.
Otherwise, the three would not have died, but had been killed by the swift beasts. was thrown to the ground, but the soldiers next to him were entangled, and there was no way, so they were besieged to death.
"Lord Captain, if not, you go to the back first, and we will be in front of you."
A voice reached Hu Xiu's ears, Hu Xiu turned his head and saw that he was wearing black heavy armor and holding a silver gun in his hand, which was already very eye-catching, it was Luo Chenyi, his silver gun was too eye-catching.
"No, I'm fine." Hu Xiu returned, and with a wave of his hand, the head of a wild boar was cut off.
"Okay~" Since Hu Xiu insisted, no matter how much he said, it was useless. He still understands Hu Xiu's letter, and Luo Chenyi is not a person who is good at persuading others.
Hu Xiu gritted the tip of his teeth, a tingling pain, and his mind was clear for a while. Feeling that he was awake again, he began to cut down the beast again. In this environment, it is not only a test of endurance.
It's also a test of perseverance, and in this environment, you have to be absolutely cautious. Because you don't know which side will suddenly rush out of the beast, but it is full of dangers.
The eyes of the women on the city wall kept staring at him, for fear that something would happen to Hu Xiu.
Hu Xiu was thrown to the ground by wild beasts several times, and was slapped to death by the old eunuch with a palm in the air. But he thought that the old eunuch was the same as his grandmother, he didn't have to care about him, but killed those beasts, which could relieve their pressure even more.
But what's the matter, he was wandering around Hu Xiu, and if he saw that Hu Xiu might be in danger, he would come for a moment.
But most of them were not dangerous, so he sat idle. There's nothing wrong with him doing this, his task is to protect Hu Xiu.
That's it, Hu Xiu and Tang Guang have been fighting at the forefront, until Luo Chenyi is also. However, Hu Xiu felt tired and even wanted to sleep, such a high level of vigilance required a very high will.
Hu Xiu was just an ordinary person in his last life, and his willpower was not strong. The credits for military training in college are all barely mixed up.
It was too tiring for him to keep himself on high alert at all times.
The sun gradually sank, and the number of the herd decreased inexplicably, and the sky was about to get dark, and it retreated.
Hu Xiu watched the beasts dissipate, but he stood there in a daze, the Qingluan Sword in his hand still held tightly. If there is a little wind and grass around him, the sword in his hand will be subconsciously clenched a little.
"Captain Hu~" Tang Guang shouted, and the copper hammer in his hand was smashed into a bloody hammer at some point. The armor on his body also changed from red to blood, and the color was similar to that of Hu Xiu.
However, the look on his face did not show a trace of tiredness, but some excitement.
"Huh?" Hu Xiu subconsciously replied.
"The herd is gone!" His voice was deafening, but it pulled him out of this state.
"Let's go~" The long sword in Hu Xiu's hand did not let go, and he sat down, together with the black armor, but there was a muffled sound, he was too tired.
At this time, Luo Chenyi also came over, but he also took off the armor of Zhong 3 on his head, revealing his face.
"Lord Lieutenant, the death toll has been lightly tapped."
"How many people died?" Hu Xiu asked, but he was ready, because this time he was bound to die, and there was nothing to doubt.
"Twelve, four are the emperor's soldiers, and eight are the soldiers who defend the city." Luo Chen replied.
"A total of twelve died..."This is the first time that the emperor and the army have died so many times out of Ping'an City, although it is a little uncomfortable, but in the war, there will always be deaths, this is no way to do it.
"How many beasts died?" Hu Xiu continued to ask.
"There are countless of them, I can't count them, it's already a little dark, I can't count them." Luo Chen replied.
"Good!" Hu Xiu put the Qingluan sword into the scabbard and stood up with his body propped up. It's getting darker, but the sun has only been setting for too long, and I can see some light slightly.
However, when it is night, don't they sleep in the world, why don't they come to attack the city at night? If they continue to attack the city at night, they will kill more soldiers.
The people behind this should know this truth, but why not continue to attack? Hu Xiu didn't figure it out for a while, but this is not an attack, isn't it a good thing for them.
Gradually, they lost notice of the vibrations of the ground, and they were sure that they had gone far. Only then did the city gate be reopened, and the soldiers went back, all of them too tired to move.
There are soldiers with torches, as well as Kurachi County, and the women, but the expressions of the women seem to be a little unfriendly.
"Inspector, come in." That Cang Wenhai, but he was not afraid of the blood of his body, and helped Hu Xiu to come in, and then the soldiers behind him also came.
Finally, there were corpses, twelve corpses, but they couldn't be pieced together into a complete one, all of them looked like they were missing arms and legs.
Hu Xiu has been under the eaves for a while, but after all, he still has to die, and Hu Xiu doesn't like dead people. Especially the death of people who are like themselves, well, to be precise, I just don't like my own dead people, and I hope that the other side will die.
"Bury them well." Hu Xiu said to Cang Wenhai.
"Yes, Inspector." Kura Zhixian said with a big face.
At this time, the women came around, "Xianggong, why are you rushing to the front?" ”
In their understanding, Hu Xiu can be safe and secure in the rear, and there is no need to take this risk.
"It's okay, I'm not without trouble." Hu Xiu didn't care, he waved his hand.
Shi Ling'er took a deep breath, but she was not in a hurry, there were too many people here. He wants to give Hu Xiu face, otherwise according to her temperament, he will definitely question Hu Xiu again.
Hu Xiu didn't notice her wife at all, there was anything different from usual, and turned his head again and looked at Cangzhi County.
"In the past, when the beasts invaded, did there ever happen that the beasts evacuated in the middle of the night?" Hu Xiu asked.
"This..."Cangzhi shook his head, "This is a situation that has not happened at all, thinking that the beasts are invading, they are not reaching the goal, but they will not give up, this kind of evacuation is the first time." ”
"It's a little strange~" Hu Xiu looked at the sky, but didn't see his grandmother. I have some doubts in my heart, what is the situation, the beast tide has receded, why hasn't the great grandmother come back yet, isn't there something going on.
Then he looked at the old eunuch, and now he was the only one who had the ability to see what was wrong.
