Chapter 4: The Nineteenth Day of the Siege (2)

Zhang Xiaowu picked up a waist knife on the ground that he didn't know who it was, the blade had a few bayonets, and it looked like it was about to break, but apart from this broken knife, there were really no other weapons around. He hurriedly protected Shao Zifu's side, and saw a flying arrow shooting directly at Wu Chang, just like the previous feeling, the flying arrow seemed to be getting slower and slower, Zhang Xiaowu quickly slashed the flying arrow.

"Dingβ€”"

Shao Zifu was taken aback and almost died, but when he saw Zhang Xiaowu sitting on the ground with his feet soft, he hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Wu, are you okay?" Have you been shot? ”

Zhang Xiaowu really felt as if his strength had been drained away in an instant this time, but he quickly recovered his state and jumped up and said, "Kill the enemy!" You're not dead yet! As he spoke, he picked up a sandbag and smashed it down, and smashed a ladder of Yue's people to the ground, and the Yue's people lay on top of other people's corpses and wailed and screamed.

Zhang Xiaowu didn't notice anything else, the hormones secreted by the adrenal glands made his whole body extremely excited, and he even felt his blood boiling. The people of the Yue clan howled under the city, and he stared at them with wide eyes and roared: "Kill! Kill! Kill! In an instant, the surrounding Han army was so imposing that the Yueshi people were so frightened that they even turned around and fled.

"The bow formation is back forward!" Commander Jun Hou Ding Yi noticed that the enemy was moving, and immediately shouted loudly to command.

A few tired soldiers took the opportunity to retreat to rest, also leaving room for archers to shoot, Shao Zifu pulled Zhang Xiaowu back two steps and sat on the ground. Zhang Xiaowu found that he was scattered and in pain, Li Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a bag of water, smiling flatteringly, but he didn't know what to say. Zhang Xiaowu wiped his mouth, nodded with Li Xiang in response, pulled out the water bladder plug and drank it all, only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, and his strength was regained.

"You kill a lot?"

"I'm not from Changsha."

"I understand, you don't kill often."

Zhang Xiaowu suddenly said: "I can only say that I am Han. ”

"Uh...... Me too. Li Xiang scratched his head and said.

The two of them exchanged words inexplicably, and then they looked for shields to hold above their heads to prevent the enemy's bows and arrows from coming at them.

"Scatter!" The commander of the army, Ding Yi, stood in the drum tower and shouted when he saw this, and the rows of archers rushed up again, shooting at the Yueshi people under the city again.

"Whoosh ......"

"Whoosh ......"

The Han archers fired extremely fast, they had an arrow in their mouths, and they barely aimed at the enemy under the city, and almost in a breath, hundreds of Yue's soldiers fell to the ground.

The Yue's people had no morale, and the comrades-in-arms around them were suddenly shot by arrows and fell to the ground, and suddenly they were shot and killed by the archers of the Han army, and their morale was immediately lost. General Yueshi looked left and right, and there were thousands of corpses scattered under the earth city, almost all of them were the corpses of Yue's people, and he was so frightened that he turned around and fled back to the camp. Seeing the general fleeing, the other Yue's soldiers also turned their heads and ran, and the morale of the Yue's people was completely lost in an instant.

"Woo-woo-"

At this time, the enemy camp suddenly sounded the horn of retreat, and the Yueshi people fled even faster, and they were eager to give birth to seven or eight feet. The Han archers were even more pleased, aiming at their backs and shooting their arrows until they got up and went back.

Seeing this, the military candidate Ding Yi scolded: "Bastard cub of the bow formation! Don't you know that arrows are precious? I don't take it at night and risk my life to pick up the arrows for you, and you waste it like this? Bastard thing! ”

The captain of the bow team also stopped the waste, and led the bow sergeant to start collecting the arrows fired into the city by the enemy, and the foot soldiers also helped to collect them.

The enemy withdrew, and the soldiers once again defended the Holy Han Empire's Tucheng, one of the only three cities in the Saibei Wasteland, outside the Two Wolf Pass, and protected the people in the city.

"The captains and captains of each formation immediately counted the casualties! Sergeant rest in place! Ding Yi tore his throat and shouted, after the soldiers got the order, they suddenly softened, as if their strength was drained, and they sat on the ground one by one, regardless of the coldness on the ground, it seemed that it didn't matter if it was cold on the ground anymore, the important thing was that everyone survived today. At this point, everyone was exhausted, and the enemy was coming in waves, and they could only resist desperately, hoping for reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.

"When will the reinforcements arrive in Tucheng?"

More than one person, more than once asked each other, no one could give an answer, but the news of the reinforcements was also the only survival belief of more than 10,000 people in the 27th Regiment of the Qinglong Regiment of the Holy Han Forbidden Army and 20,000 people in Tucheng. They firmly believed that the prince would not give up Tucheng, and they believed that the Han army would not give up on rescuing his comrades-in-arms, and they had held out for 19 days, even though there was a lack of ordnance and food and grass in the city, they were still struggling to hold on.

The soldiers sat down on the ground tiredly, drinking cold water and enjoying a moment of silence, but were soon annoyed by the wounded soldiers of the Yue clan who were screaming in pain from below. Some returned to the battlements, lifting sandbags and smashing them over, while the wounded soldiers of the Yue clan who were farther away were climbers trying to return to the barracks, and some of them bled to death halfway through the climb. Some of the Yue's people rushed up on horseback to save the wounded soldiers. The Han archers on the city wall shot at the horses, and the horses fled in fright, causing the Han soldiers in the city to laugh, but the archers regretted not killing more horses.

"Okay, I shot at night and there was horse meat." Zhang Xiaowu complained beside an archer.

"Are you going to come?"

"Give it to me, look at me."

Zhang Xiaowu took the bow, opened the bow and set the arrow, only to hear a click, and the bow was broken by him. Zhang Xiaowu opened his mouth wide and handed him the broken bow, the archer couldn't cry or laugh, picked up a longbow on the ground again, and said: "Your strength, this bow is not suitable for you, you are the first person I have seen in the army for so long to pull a broken bow." ”

Zhang Xiaowu scratched the back of his head and was embarrassed, and the archer waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this bow is not mine, it's someone else's, a dead man." ”

Shao Zifu shouted in the distance: "Rest, rest, save some energy." It's not that I'm talking about you, sloppy, too sloppy! ”

Zhang Xiaowu walked back, Li Xiang was confused, so he leaned over and asked, "Xiao Wu, why didn't the general order to shoot the wounded soldiers of the dog under the city?" ”

Shao Zifu heard it, and said sideways: "There is a lot of nonsense, be careful of your life!" ”

Li Xiang smiled and lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while and explained: "Shooting the wounded soldiers is to solve the trouble for themselves, if the wounded soldiers are let back, they must be treated, not to mention, it wastes food, grass and medicine, and it also hits the morale of the Inuyi people." Moreover, seeing that his tribe continued to die and be injured, but the Wuhuan people did not move closer, God knows if they will fight among themselves? I'm afraid that the Inuyi tribes have already quarreled in private, and they all noticed that Wuhuan people were killing people with knives and killing other tribes with our hands. ”

Shao Zifu nodded in agreement, he looked out of the city, took a long breath, and then said, "They won't kill them today, don't worry." ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Xiaowu and Li Xiang and the other four soldiers responded and sat on the ground again, Zhang Xiaowu and Li Xiang were back to back, and Li Xiang said in a low voice: "Thank you, Xiao Wu." ”

"Call brother."

"You're two years younger than me."

"I've been in the army longer than you." Zhang Xiaowu was triumphant, "Do you know how to respect your predecessors?" ”

Li Xiang was helpless: "Oh, Brother Zhang." ”

"Brother is brother, add what small. Call Big Brother. ”

"Brother Zhang." Being bullied by veterans, Li Xiang could only compromise with grievances.

Zhang Xiaowu laughed, turned around and hugged Li Xiang's shoulders and said, "That's right, Brother Zhang, I will cover you in the future." ”

Li Xiangqi said: "What is - covered? ”

"Protect, protect!" Zhang Xiaowu accidentally revealed another world's mantra and hurriedly changed his words.

Li Xiang shouted: "Who wants you to protect!" Seeing Zhang Xiaowu glaring at him threateningly, he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he hurriedly took a whetstone to polish his waist knife.

Shao Zifu suffered some minor injuries this time, the wound on his head was also cracked, and the blood that flowed out of his ear coagulated, Zhang Xiaowu bandaged him and asked him if he was okay. Shao Zifu smiled bitterly and said that his arm was smashed by the blade of the Yue clan, although it had not yet bled yet, it began to hurt at this time, so he looked for a military doctor.

The military doctor said that the bones were fine, and that the flesh should be injured, so he gave him a piece of ointment for him to apply for a few days. Shao Zifu said I don't know how many days I can live, I'm afraid that the injury will be gone if there is no good person, and the military doctor said that you are injured twice in three days and can't die, Shao Zifu still wants something, and was scolded by the military doctor.
