Chapter 15 The Rest of the People Died in Battle
Old Man Tao fell to the ground in a headache, almost tumbling. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaowu turned around and tightly strangled Old Man Tao from behind to prevent him from accidentally inserting an arrow into his head when he rolled. Old Man Tao finally stopped struggling after screaming a few times, and Zhang Xiaowu pulled out the arrow violently. The barbs on the arrow cluster directly plucked out the eyeballs, and the old man was so painful that he passed out directly.
"It's okay, just lost an eyeball." Zhang Xiaowu said, "Carry him down, and in a few days he will be a well-known old man." ”
The young Tao Wang was stunned, he sat on the ground and stammered speechless, his eyes were in a trance, looking at Ah Weng's eyes and the corpse of the robe beside him, his originally bright eyes began to blur, and a buzzing sound sounded in his ears, shielding everything from the outside world. Many people will be in a trance on the battlefield, just like the feeling that the whole world is shaking when they just wake up, and often people at this time are the most dangerous.
"Smack!"
Zhang Xiaowu stepped forward and gave him a big mouth. Tao Wang was knocked to the ground, his face quickly became red and swollen, his teeth were loosened, his head buzzed, and then he suddenly came to his senses. He raised his head and saw Zhang Xiaowu glaring at him and scolding: "You rammer!" What are you doing stupidly? Carry your Ah Weng down to find the military doctor, don't delay everyone here. ”
"Whoa." Tao Wang said busily.
Zhang Xiaowu put the unconscious old man on Tao Wang's back, and when he saw Tao Wang stumbling up, he suddenly heard the sound of "dangchang" and "dangchang", and felt that he was pushed hard by someone, and he fell to the ground. He turned around to look, but saw that it was Mo Qing pressed behind him, and Mo Qing had a short axe stuck in his forehead. He then looked to the left and right, and saw that many Han soldiers had been killed and wounded by short axes and fell to the ground.
Although the Uzi were not good at fighting, they were good at sneak attacks, and suddenly without warning they threw their axes and accidentally killed dozens of Han soldiers. Mo Qing was also unlucky, he was attacked by the Uzi people, and two hand axes slashed into his body at the same time, and he couldn't die anymore.
At this time, several Uzi people took the opportunity to climb the city wall.
"I'm your grandmother!"
Zhang Xiaowu roared, picked up the spear gun and jumped on the wall, stood directly on the wall, and smashed several Uzi soldiers who were kicking the city with a spear gun.
Captain Luo Zhen found out about the situation and immediately ordered the reserve sergeants to kick the city to increase their troops, and the second formation rushed up and fought with the Uzi.
Zhang Xiaowu kept slashing with his waist knife, and somehow killed the front capital team, and saw Shao Zifu brandishing a spear gun and rushing forward, killing the Uzi people around him. More Han soldiers rushed forward and soon drove Uzi, who had climbed the city wall, down.
Zhang Xiaowu's arms were a little numb, jumped off the wall, glanced at Shao Zifu, and nodded to each other. He came to Tao Wang and Old Man Tao, only to find that Tao Wang was unlucky enough to be stuck in the top of his head with the tip of a throwing axe, bubbling with blood. Tao Wang looked at the sky with wide eyes and muttered to himself, Zhang Xiaowu asked him what he wanted to say, Tao Wang's eyes slowly dispersed, and said: "Shi Chang, I, Ah Weng, took me all over the Saibei Wasteland, and I didn't find Ah Niang (mother), where do you say she is?" ”
"In heaven, maybe."
"Then I'll go to heaven to find her."
"Hmm."
Zhang Xiaowu sighed, Tao Wang was still dead after all, and he closed his eyes for him.
Shao Zifu killed a few Uzi people at the head of the wall, some with some effort, Li Xiang hurriedly resisted a few swords that slashed at Shao Zifu, Shao Zifu picked up a shield, and talked with Li Xiang about the Uzi people in front of him and knocked down the city wall. Li Xiang carried a spear and stabbed the Uzi people on the ladder desperately, so scared that the Uzi people did not dare to climb the ladder, Shao Zifu took the opportunity to take a few breaths, saw Zhang Xiaowu squatting on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Wu, come back, engage in battle!" ”
Zhang Xiaowu said to Shao Zifu in a distracted manner: "Commander Wu, all my people are dead, and in less than an hour, all my people are dead. ”
Shao Zifu shouted: "Just kill someone, come back to me." Impetuous bird! With that, he killed him again.
Zhang Xiaowu took a sip of cold water, took two breaths and gasped for breath, looked left and right, only to see hundreds of Han soldiers fighting fiercely with Inuyi. A soldier had his right arm broken, and he was slashed with a waist knife, and was immediately stabbed to death by the enemy and fell under the city.
Another soldier fought with a short axe stuck in his forehead, and after beating several Uzi back, he stood between the battlements and glared angrily. The Uzi did not dare to come up, and the other soldiers pushed him, only to find that he was already dead.
Another Han soldier rose up, jumped out of the city wall and stood on a ladder, and killed the Uzi people with spears and spears. The Uzi had no choice but to push themselves to the siege ladder, and the Han pawn fell, and after fighting the enemy on the ground for a while, he was finally outnumbered and killed by dozens of waist swords.
A rush of blood rushed to the top of his head, Zhang Xiaowu rushed up the city wall again with a spear, stood on top of the battlements, and continued to smash the Uzi people on the ladder with a spear gun. The Uzi soldier was hit in the head by the tip of his spear, and his brain overflowed, and he fell down in a daze. He was about to raise his gun, but he noticed a sharp arrow shooting straight at him, and Shao Zifu pulled him down from the battlements in time, and he was able to dodge the arrow.
"Be careful." Shao Zifu reprimanded.
Zhang Xiaowu couldn't hear Shao Zifu's words at all, he pushed Shao Zifu away and rode on the battlements again. Shao Zifu was worried that this kid would fall to his death, so he had to drag his belt with one hand and stab him with a spear in the other. The other sergeants raised the stone and threw it down, three or two times to kill a group of Uzi people, for a while the Uzi people did not dare to climb the ladder, Zhang Xiaowu waved a spear with his right hand, stretched out his middle finger with his left hand, and shouted angrily: "Inuyi Xiaoer, you come here!" Come here! ”
In an instant, the Uzi people were so frightened by this Han soldier that they took three or two steps back.
"Bow Formation!"
The Han army archers stepped forward, and after a rain of arrows, nearly 100 Uzi people were killed. Seeing that morale was gone, General Uzi ordered the withdrawal of troops, and after leaving nearly a thousand corpses behind, the Uzi retreated like a tide.
Captain Wang Jian counted the personnel, and learned that Liu Ji, the captain of the Houdu team, was killed, and the former capital team was also seriously damaged. There were many former commanders of the capital team, and the commander Chen Tai showed his merits to Wang Jian and promoted Zhang Xiaowu to the post of Du Zuo, which Wang Jian approved. In this way, Zhang Xiaowu relied on his killing skills to become Lord Duzuo in less than a month.
Chen Tai still attaches great importance to Zhang Xiaowu and is ready to train him.
Zhang Xiaowu's mood became heavier and heavier, he was silent all day long, no longer telling jokes to his subordinates and colleagues, and no longer recalling the events of his previous life. For him, perhaps the next time he dies in battle is much luckier than being tortured and seeing the people around him die every day. He didn't even want to know his men, he didn't want to get acquainted with their faces.
Shao Zifu came to look for him, and when he saw that he was lifeless, he said: "You can see it, but it's just life and death." ”
"I know, it's just...... Alas......" Zhang Xiaowu only replied, and then stopped talking.
Shao Zifu is not a person who can persuade people, but seeing that Zhang Xiaowu, who is usually lively, is now so low, he knows that he needs a period of calm, so he went to the stove room and brought him a "Tucheng stew". Zhang Xiaowu took a bite, spit out, and shouted, "What's the matter with this thing? Why is it so fishy? What about spiciness? Why is it not spicy? Is it stewed with wine? Can you eat without alcohol? Fooling people, right? As soon as I left the former capital team, the stove room of the former capital team also began to fool around!? ”
Seeing that he was alive again, Shao Zifu laughed and finally put his mind at ease.
The Uzi lost several thousand men in the siege on the ninth day of the fifth month, and the 27th Regiment also suffered heavy losses, and the Yizi battalion responsible for the defense of Xicheng alone lost more than 400 people, and the entire Yizi battalion had only 1,000 people left, and there were no more men in the Tucheng, and all the men in the city between the ages of 14 and 60 had already participated in the defense of the city.
Wang Shen, who joined the army, suggested to the general Shi Jing to recruit healthy women in the city to participate in the defense of the city, but Shi Jing refused and threatened: "I will live and die with Tucheng, if there are people who escape from the battle, kill them!" ”
