Ding Yi suddenly pulled Zhang Xiaowu up and said, "Yizi Battalion Divine Shooting, it's time for you to make meritorious contributions, Xiaoyi, you can assist him." Ding Yi's personal soldiers, Du Zuohou Xiaoyi, immediately picked up the quiver and followed behind Zhang Xiaowu. Zhang Xiaowu was not verbose, he took Hou Xiaoyi and walked around, he was not good at archery, he could only shoot more at the crowd, or shoot one person, or shoot through two or three people because of the strong bow of the divine arm, whenever he shot the dog Yi, the sergeants cheered and shouted.

Hou Xiaoyi knew that his archery skills were not good, so he pointed out from the side, and whenever he pointed out the subtlety, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but admire it greatly, so he asked Hou Xiaoyi to demonstrate. Hou Xiaoyi was embarrassed: "Lord Captain, the strength of his humble arm is insufficient, and he can't pull away this divine arm bow, a great saint, there are not many people who can have such divine power as a captain." ”

Zhang Xiaowu's archery skills under the guidance of Hou Xiaoyi, under the training of the battlefield, refined and fast, and then Hou Xiaoyi taught him three arrows scattering archery skills, one bow and three arrows do not seek how exquisite, but the swarming enemy group is not small, especially the arrow shot by the arm bow is fast and urgent, often scattering three arrows to cause four or five dead, which greatly hit the morale of the Inuyi army.

"Marksman! Marksmanship! Marksmanship! ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaowu had killed and injured many Yueshi dogs, the sergeants shouted loudly, and soon after, the soldiers of the Yizi battalion on the west side of the city wall shouted in unison. The Yue's people and the Beiyi people fell sharply, and they were filthy with each other, and they both hoped that the other party would contribute to the death and injury, and they would take possession of the city. Several Beiyi soldiers who stepped on the city wall were killed, and after throwing their bodies under the city, the Beiyi people took the lead in retreating, and the Yueshi people immediately retreated.

The west side of the city was victorious, and Ding Yi ordered Wang Jian, the captain of the fourth formation, to organize more than 500 people and shoot Zhang Xiaowu to support the south city wall.

The southern city wall faced the Wuhuan people and the Tartar people, and the Wuhuan did not send troops, and this time they took the initiative to attack the southern city, and it was true that they wanted to set an example for the servants in one fell swoop. They first used the servant army of the Northern Tartars as cannon fodder to get close to the city of Tucheng, and then sent 5,000 Wuhuan elites to attack the city in one fell swoop.

The Han army in Nancheng and Wuhuan were inseparable, with countless casualties, and the Han soldiers also came into contact with Wuhuan's bravery for the first time, and they did not lose the powerful empire of the West. The Wuhuan people are tall and strong, and they are not afraid of death, and they are often cut two or three times with two or three arrows in their bodies until they die in battle.

Fortunately, at this time, the increase in personnel everywhere had arrived, and the city wall was barely held.

When the reinforcements of the Yizi battalion arrived, some Wuhuan sergeants kicked the city to fight, and the captain Wang Jian waved a double hammer to lead the crowd to rush forward, and Zhang Xiaowu shot with a bow, and couldn't help but use three arrows in his hand to scatter, no matter how accurate, but to kill more Wuhuan wounds. The Wuhuan man was hit by the ordinary Han army, and the arrows shot by the ordinary Han army penetrated the leather armor at most and injured the flesh, but the arrow of the divine arm bow was directly pierced, and soon there was no Wuhuan person standing in front of Zhang Xiaowu.

"Marksman! Marksmanship! Marksmanship! ”

The soldiers cheered loudly, and the Wuhuan people trembled in their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel jealous of this "magic shooter", and many Wuhuan people actually bypassed Zhang Xiaowu and attacked others. Zhang Xiaowu was even more excited, shouted, and shot Wuhuan Inuyi with the divine arm bow in his hand all the time.

When Hou Xiaoyi broadcast that there were no arrows in the quiver, Zhang Xiaowu had been fighting for two or three hours unconsciously, and the Wuhuan people slowly retreated. When the Han sergeant saw the dog retreating, he couldn't help but shout loudly, resounding through the sky.

Hou Xiaoyi said: "Lord Captain, we won, your arrow is gone!" I've never seen an archer like you, and speaking of which, you've shot at least 300 dogs alone, but you're one of the 100 people in our 27th regiment. ”

Zhang Xiaowu also wanted to shout, but he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he fainted with all his strength. Hou Xiaoyi was frightened, and hurriedly carried Zhang Xiaowu down with everyone, and when Ding Yi learned about it, he was immediately distressed, and after looking for a military doctor, he knew that this person was in a coma, so he was relieved.

In the battle of May 18, both Han and Yi suffered heavy casualties, and the 27th Regiment had no more than 5,000 men available, and the city was full of corpses and wounded. The garrison of Mucheng made Shi Jing no longer even prohibit the people from escaping from the city, but almost all the men in the inner city participated in the defense of the city, and how did the women and children escape. Despair spread through the city, and there was no longer hope for reinforcements. Despite the great victory in this battle, there was no joy of victory in Tucheng, and this time the defense of the city almost consumed the last men in Tucheng. Countless old women and young sons lost their relatives, and even the bodies of some soldiers and civilians were abandoned in the city without anyone to collect them.

Shi Jing finally adopted the advice of Wang Shen, who joined the army, recruited healthy women in the city to help defend the city, and sent people to secretly explore the way out of the city, preparing to help the young children in the city escape, leaving a trace of blood for the dead people.

However, after this battle, Zhang Xiaowu, a military captain, helped shoot hundreds of dogs on the south side of the city wall, shocked the enemy, boosted the morale of the whole army, and was finally recognized by various generals. After all, his divine arm bow has killed and injured countless dogs, and if he is in danger in the future, he must implore this divine marksman captain in the fourth formation to support one or two.

Now, because of the threat of "divine shooting", Inuyi was even so frightened that he did not dare to attack the city for two days, and the people of Tucheng once again had a chance to breathe. Hou Xiaoyi has been following him, counting the number of dogs he shot for him in his heart, there are actually two hundred and thirty-seven people, if he hadn't been in a coma for a day and two nights, General Shi Jing would definitely reward him personally.

On the morning of 20 May, Zhang Xiaowu finally woke up, but his whole body was weak, and his arms were so sore that he couldn't sleep anymore. In the fierce battle two days ago, Zhang Xiaowu was tired and carried away, but fortunately, this body was really strong and did not become a waste due to excessive consumption. He was worried that he would never be able to raise his arms again and become an armless body, but fortunately, after a while, his hands gradually became conscious, but they were temporarily weak.

After slowly exercising his arms for a while, Zhang Xiaowu gradually recovered a lot, and he tried to get up, except that his arms could not support him, the rest of his body was unharmed. There was a bandage wrapped around the tiger's mouth, it should be cracked, he untied the bandage, and found that there was already flesh, white and tender, and said to himself with a smile: "Finally injured, my koi body, it's not that I haven't been injured." ”

After a while, I saw Shao Zifu push the door into the house, and saw Zhang Xiaowu, who was sitting at the head of the bed and waving his arms lightly and was exercising and recovering, and said in surprise: "God bless, you stinky boy has finally woken up." If you sleep for a day and a night, and you don't wake up, I'm going to throw you out of the city. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "That's not possible, I haven't married a daughter-in-law in my life, and I died like this, and the king of Yama is unwilling to accept it." ”

Shao Zifu said: "Impetuous, too impetuous!" As soon as the war is over, I will find a young lady for you. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Well, if I fight a bachelor in the future, I will live in your house." ”

Shao Zifu said with a grin: "That's okay, when my girl grows up, I will give it to you, how about you being my son-in-law?" Come, baby, call your father-in-law. ”

"How old is your girl?" Zhang Xiaowu suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Two men in my family."

Zhang Xiaowu glared and said, "Are you fooling me?" Your daughter hasn't been born yet? ”

"Impetuous! Or else? Shao Zifu said with a straight face.

Zhang Xiaowu was speechless for a while, grinning and said, "Eh, old man, how is the current battle situation?" How many times did Inuyi attack? Are you scared of me to shoot? ”

Shao Zifu couldn't hold it back, leaned back with a smile, and his body twitched again: "You guy is too thick-skinned!" However, Inuyi really did not attack the city in the past two days, and they were afraid of being beaten by us, but they were afraid that they would accumulate strength and only wait for the next time to go all out. Then he ordered an old woman to serve him broth. Zhang Xiaowu got up and took a big bite of the broth, and suddenly asked where the meat came from, Shao Zifu said: "Most of the war horses of the cavalry in the city have been slaughtered for meat, and even the war horses of the general have been slaughtered as rations for the soldiers. ”

Zhang Xiaowu was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "The general is ready to die in Tucheng, pity my 27th regiment army, alone and helpless, die to serve the country, the general of Zhenbei gave us my life in vain, such grievances will reach heaven." ”

Shao Zifu smacked his lips and was silent, not knowing how to answer, the soldiers of the 27th Regiment did not have a chance to escape, but Shi Jing still held on to Tucheng until now. As soldiers, as long as they don't get the order to retreat, they can't leave, but why are the reinforcements delayed, the two can only be silent, both are in the army, and they can only serve the country with death.
