Chapter 14
The next day, it was the turn of the fourth team to defend the city, and the second team to support, everyone knew that the alien army was a two-day siege, and today was a single day, so the big guys climbed the city wall slowly. A few people who knew each other were still greeting, Zhang Xiaowu ran to the front team, and saw that Li Xiang was rubbing Shao Zifu's shoulders, and there were two stupid new pawns standing beside him, so he smiled and said: "Wu Chang, I'm here to visit you, Li Xiaolang, are you promoted?" ”
"I'm the first guard of the Captain." Li Xiang was ashamed to speak, causing the surrounding people to laugh, Shao Zifu laughed and said: "Rub it well, when the dog Yi attacks, if I can't lift my arm, you really have to block the arrow for me." ”
"Whoa." Li Xiang patted his ass with his hands and feet.
Shao Zifu asked: "Zhang Xiaolang, how does it feel to be the captain of the army?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "That's what happened, I don't think it's so difficult." ”
"Not yet modest, impetuous, too impetuous." Shao Zifu said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaowu was about to speak, but he saw the door of the alien camp in the distance wide open, and a group of soldiers rushed out, and immediately shouted: "Why is Inuyi not punctual?" Isn't it time to rest today? The rest of the soldiers hurriedly stood up and looked from afar, only to see that in a moment tens of thousands of foreign troops rushed out of the camp gate, carrying ladders and shields, and the cavalry had already rushed with bows, ready to suppress the Han army with a wave of cavalry.
"It's Utu." Chen Tai came over at some point and said, "The Utu people should have just arrived at the battlefield. ”
"Where's Utu?"
"It is also one of the countries of the Western Regions, but it is closer to the west than Uzi and Yueshi, and it is said that the Utu people are good at raising snakes and poisonous insects." Chen Tai said, "Utu has always had few people and does not participate in the struggle for world domination, but today it is also here." ”
Ding Yi, the military candidate, shouted in the distance to prepare for war, Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly ran back to the Houdu team, and the captain Liu Ji scolded him a few words, and he smiled and returned to the team with a cheeky face.
Then Zhang Xiaowu scolded the enemy for not being punctual, and at the same time commanded the soldiers to put the shield on their heads. Min Erlang and Mo Qing also immediately raised their shields against the wall, but the grandfather and grandson didn't know how to fight, Zhang Xiaowu scolded: "Learn from me!" Learn from me! The grandfather and grandson hurriedly raised their shields next to Zhang Xiaowu, squatting on the ground nervously.
Immediately, arrows rained down, Zhang Xiaowu was not afraid and laughed in a low voice: "There is no need to go out of the city to collect arrows today, but it saves the trouble of drawing lots to select people." Tao Wang hurriedly asked what the lottery was, and Zhang Xiaowu told him the story of the late lottery, Tao Wang stared at the bright eyes and said, "I also want to do the night without collecting." ”
Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the Utu army came up, and after the Han army's bow array and the opponent exchanged fires, the Utu people began to attack the city with ladders. Maybe it's because of the first time they went to the battlefield, the Utu people were imposing, and the front was a strong Utu man, who actually went into battle shirtless.
Zhang Xiaowu laughed: "Do they think they are the king of Baahubali? As he spoke, he raised his spear and stabbed it suddenly, and the shirtless man climbed with his sword, and coldly passed a spear through his chest, and then penetrated the body of the second man, and the body of the third, and the tip of the spear stopped on the tip of the nose of the fourth. Only then did the fourth Utu realize that the first three comrades-in-arms had been skewered with sugar gourds, and immediately jumped off the ladder with a scream in fright. But the fifth man was unlucky, and the sugar gourd fell straight down, stabbing the fifth man to death under the city.
For a moment, the Utu people in front of them were frightened and overwhelmed.
Zhang Xiaowu shouted: "Smash it with a sandbag, quickly!" ”
"Whoa."
At this time, not only their own team, but also the entire team rushed up and smashed it down with sandbags, and the Utu people who smashed it crying and shouting for their mother, did not dare to attack and kill in this direction for a while. After the Utu people adjusted, they finally learned to be smart, and continued to climb the ladder to attack the city with their shields, at this time the second team of reinforcements also rushed up, and more than 800 people from the two formations guarded the city wall, and the Utu people were unable to climb the city only by courage.
But the Utu people soon began to use yin tricks, the soldiers in front of the Holy Han army, the rear people violently ran the poisonous snake towards the city wall, and several careless Han soldiers stepped on the poisonous snake and were bitten. In fact, the poisonous snake was not very lethal, but it brought a lot of psychological pressure to the soldiers defending the city, and some soldiers were so frightened that they jumped on the battlements and were immediately killed by the enemy's bows and arrows.
Wang Jian, the captain of the fourth formation, was so angry that he ordered Chen Tai to lead people to destroy the snake, and scolded the Utu people for only having this ability. The Utu people really only have this ability, and they didn't attack the city after throwing the poisonous snake, so they had to withdraw their troops in a huff.
"What the hell, will there still be a bare-chested dog in the future?" Zhang Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the side, this time there were no casualties among the four of his men, very good.
After resting for a while, Lieutenant Liu Ji came over and said that his chief had died, had been bitten in the leg and stomach by a poisonous snake, and had died of the poison before he could be treated. Zhang Xiaowu didn't even remember Shi Chang's name, watching him being carried off the city wall by everyone, he mourned silently in his heart for a while, and then returned to the sentry post.
There are only three teams in this team, Liu Ji hesitated, and then chose Zhang Xiaowu as the captain and the captain of the team among the three captains, Zhang Xiaowu was surprised: "I only became the captain three days ago, and I became the captain today?" My lord, aren't you my long-lost biological brother? ”
Liu Ji cried and laughed: "Although the other two have been in the army for a long time, they are not as brave and good at fighting as you - they are also the captains who were forced to be the captains of the team when they died, and they don't have your ability." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said clearly: "If you live, you can be promoted." ”
Liu Ji said: "It's wrong, it's a promotion to live." ”
Zhang Xiaowu did not hesitate to praise: "My lord, it's a pity that you don't go to the Tai Academy, you can see it much more thoroughly than the contemporary Confucians, life, just close your eyes and open them, a day has passed, your eyes are not closed, and a lifetime has passed." ”
Liu Ji laughed, and he liked this little Langjun more and more in his heart.
The fourth team had a three-day rest, and in the evening, perhaps because of the good luck brought by Zhang Xiaowu, when the night was not collected, none of the twelve people in the Bensh team won the red lot, and even Liu Ji praised him for his God's favor.
In this regard, Zhang Xiaowu explained: "God loves handsome children. ”
There is only one difference between being a captain and being a captain, that is, he has more contact with the lieutenant and has more soldiers' salaries, but Zhang Xiaowu has a lot of coins in his pocket, and it is not bad for this soldier's salary. Besides, now the city is panicked, and the grain is also controlled, and there is no place to spend the money. In the past three days, there have been three soldiers added to the team, all of whom are old old recruits, Zhang Xiaowu looked at these "recruits" who were more than three times older than himself, and sighed slightly, it seems that there are fewer and fewer people in Tucheng.
Three days later, it was the turn of the fourth formation to defend the city, and the alien army attacked the city as promised, and the soldiers complained that they were unlucky, and this time the inui who besieged the city was replaced by experienced Uzi soldiers.
The kingdom of Uzi is located in the southern part of the Wuhuan Empire, and they are generally large-eyed, curly-haired, dark-skinned, and short-stated. They are the best at singing and dancing, and it was originally a country that has always been in harmony with its neighbors. Because of the coercion of the Ugan people, the Uz people also had to join the war.
Because of their small strength, the weapons used by the Uzi people are slender waist swords, as siege blades, the waist swords of the Uzi people can neither penetrate the armor of the Han army, nor can they resist the weapons of the Han army, and the soldiers of the Han army can easily stab the enemy who climbs the ladder at the head of the city.
"Engage!"
The soldier Ding Yi still commanded loudly in the distance, and the sergeants of the Yi Zi Battalion got up to kill the enemy.
"Roar!"
After Zhang Xiaowu stabbed four enemies, he was replaced by Min Erlang, but he didn't expect that Min Erlang was too excited after stabbing an Uzi soldier to death, and one was accidentally grabbed by an Uzi soldier with a flying hook, pulled down from the wall, fell under the city, and was immediately divided by the Uzi people.
"This rammer!" Zhang Xiaowu scolded angrily, and felt sorry for this rammer's bad brain, and now he finally died of stupidity.
Mo Qing stepped forward as a substitute and brandished a spear gun to stab an Uzi warrior down the long ladder, and Zhang Xiaowu immediately used a spear gun to resist him.
"Whoosh......"
A sharp arrow grazed Mo Qing's ear, only to hear a scream of "ah", Zhang Xiaowu looked back, but saw that the old man Tao among the two grandparents had an arrow inserted in his eye socket.
