Chapter 435: Fierce Battle! Defend the city! (iv)

The western wall of the city has been completely turned into a hell on earth, as if there is an invisible beast here, spreading its fangs and constantly devouring living human lives.

"Huhuhu......"

As a rare pawn in the merchant army, Yang Wu's breathing began to become rapid.

It is no wonder, after all, that he has been at the forefront for a full stick of incense, killing and cutting down twenty or thirty slave soldiers.

This number of kills is definitely enough to show off to others, after all, there are many veterans who have retired from the army, and the total number of enemies they have killed in their lives is probably not as much as the number of kills in this battle of Yangwu.

But then again, it is undeniable that he is almost at the limit, and at this moment, he only feels that the iron shield in his left hand is sinking like a thousand pounds, and he can't lift it.

However, as if there was no end to it, the slave soldiers continued to climb up from under the city.

No, another slave soldier climbed up from directly in front of Yangwu.

At that moment, several thoughts flashed through Yang Wu's mind, such as whether to use his shield to push him off the city wall or use the knife in his right hand to cut it down.

However, although his thoughts had been conveyed to his arms, they seemed to be filled with lead, and they were so sore and weak that they could not be lifted.

"Oh no!"

Just as he let out a cry of displeasure, the Horned Slave swooped down on him, grabbed his shield with both hands, and threw him to the ground with a fluttering force.

Yang Wu reacted instantly, and protected his throat with a shield, after all, he had seen many soldiers of the same army bite off their fragile throats by these slave soldiers, resulting in death.

Probably because Yang Wu subconsciously protected his throat, the slave soldier who knew that he could not survive for long immediately made a decision and bit Yang Wu's arm, his face was hideous, as if he was going to bite off a piece of meat from his arm.

With the next breath, a sharp sword stabbed from the side, piercing the head of the Horned Slave with a pop, and then a large hand picked up the slave soldier's body and threw it aside.

"Are you alright, boy?"

"Strange voices......

Yang Wu raised his head and looked at the soldier who saved him, only to see that the other party looked like twenty-five or sixteen, and his face looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

"Thank you." Seeing that the other party stretched out his hand, Yang Wu took the other party's hand and stood up.

At this time, I saw the other party pointing to the inside of the city wall and said, "Change the guard, go down." ”

Yang Wu subconsciously looked around, only to find that the soldiers who had fought together had been replaced by some soldiers who had no blood on their bodies.

His heart suddenly dawned.

It turned out that Zhao Hongrun had deployed a full 8,000 soldiers on the west city wall, and these 8,000 people were divided into two divisions and battalions.

"Be careful, those people are like crazy." Yang Wu admonished the man.

The man smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "I noticed ...... when I came up," he paused, gave a thumbs up to Yang Wu, and said: "One person plugs the gap of one zhang, it's really strong!" ”

Yang Wu smiled, wiped the blood on his face with his hand, but didn't want to affect the bite marks on his arm, bared his teeth in pain, and ran down the city wall along the steps on the inner side of the city wall.

Like Yang Wu, the soldiers who had just fought bloody battles left the city wall one after another, and their posts were replaced by friendly troops who had newly climbed the city wall.

After getting off the city wall, Yang Wu found Li Hui, Le Leopard, Jiao Meng, Jiao Zhong and others who were with him, and just found that Li Hui, who had the best relationship, and Le Leopard were not missing arms and legs all over their bodies, he grinned and smiled reassuringly.

This relaxation was amazing, Yang Wu only felt a pain all over his body, as if even his bones were aching faintly, and with a snap, he fell to the ground with his back facing the sky.

At this scene, Li Hui and Le Bao, who were resting in fright, immediately got up from the ground, rushed over and hurriedly dragged Yang Wu over.

"It's okay, it's okay, look at what scares you." Yang Wu waved his hand breathlessly and lay on the ground on his back with his face to the sky, gasping for breath.

"Ah Wu, are you injured?" Li Hui noticed the bite mark on Yang Wu's arm, exclaimed, and then shouted loudly: "Here, someone is injured here!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a man of the Quan tribe with a bone jar in his hand ran over and applied a green ointment to Yang Wu's bloody arm.

"Wow, what's that?" Yang Wu, who was resting with his eyes closed, only felt that his arm was cold, his heart was shocked, and he subconsciously wanted to struggle, but he was held down by Li Hui and Le Bao in time.

"This is an herbal ointment for the Qiang people, and it can stop the bleeding very quickly after being applied." While explaining, Li Hui pointed to his forehead at Yang Wu, only to see that he also had a similar ointment on his forehead.

When Yang Wu heard this, he put his mind at ease, and immediately looked at Li Hui and asked curiously, "How did you get hurt?" ”

Li Hui immediately blushed when he heard this.

Seeing this, Le Bao said with a smile on the side: "Isn't it a shameful thing, is there any need to be ashamed?" …… At that time, the spear in his hand was grabbed by the slave soldier, and in a hurry, he dragged the slave soldier over and knocked the other party unconscious with his head. ”

"Really?" Yang Wu looked at Li Hui in surprise, revealing an expression like "How can my familiar friend be so decisive, don't lie to me", and then asked with interest: "This is quite heroic, why are you ashamed?" ”

"Why are you ashamed?" Le Bao showed a malicious smile on his face, and before Li Hui had time to cover his mouth, he said with a smile: "Because there is not just one, but two." ”

"I'm dizzy too?" Yang Wu stared at the embarrassed Li Hui with wide eyes and grinned.

"Not really." Le Leopard shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "In the end, it was a captain from another army who broke the siege for him and killed the Horned slave soldier. ”

"Hahahaha-"

Yang Wu laughed out loud without any image, in fact, not only he was laughing, but the other Shangshui soldiers who were resting nearby also laughed when they heard this.

In all fairness, is this funny?

It's funny, but it doesn't make those nearby Shangshui soldiers laugh so happily.

Perhaps, in the final analysis, it was not Li Hui who was smiling at those soldiers, they were smiling with joy, happy that they persevered until they changed their guard and walked off the city wall alive.

It was the joy of coming alive from the precipitous battlefield of nine deaths and lives that made them laugh, and even some of the soldiers laughed and laughed, and tears of joy also flowed in their eyes.

These soldiers need an opportunity to vent their complicated feelings.

But after laughing for a while, the joy faded, for they knew that after they had rested for a while, they would have to go up to the city wall to take over the friendly troops who were now fighting on the wall.

And thinking of this, it seems that Li Hui, a new recruit who obviously does not have much confidence in his ability, their hearts become heavy again.

Gradually, he became silent, and there was no trace of the excitement he had when he walked down the city wall alive.

At this time, there was a group of Qiang people driving dozens of sheep to come over, each sheep was carrying two baskets on both sides, and the baskets were full of food that the Qiang people used to fill their stomachs every day, sheep cakes.

It was probably a freshly baked lamb cake, and the soldiers who had just finished the bloody battle sniffed vigorously, and no matter how they smelled it, they felt fragrant.

Even, the stomach that was originally not hungry actually gurgled at this moment.

"Don't scramble, everyone has a share!"

Probably noticing that some of the soldiers stood up and were about to rush towards the people, a thousand people stood up and shouted loudly.

The Chu people also kept the military discipline in mind, and after hearing this, no soldier went to fight.

Seeing this, the people of the Qiang tribe began to distribute food in order from near to far.

Li Hui, Yang Wu, Le Bao and the others were lucky, those people of the Qiang tribe came to them at the beginning, and each of them handed them a sheep cake the size of two palms and the thickness of a knuckle.

"Hmm......" After taking the lamb cake, Yang Wu couldn't wait to take a big bite and chewed it with a satisfied face.

At this time, another of the Qiang tribesmen handed him a palm-deep croissant.

"What is this?" Yang Wu looked at the milky white liquid in the croissant cup and was stunned.

As soon as the words fell, the answer of Ran Teng, the general of a thousand people, came from the side.

"Goat's milk wine."

"Wine?" Yang Wu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to take the croissant and pour a big sip, then smacked his lips, frowned and said, "This wine is so light, it doesn't taste good...... But it's delicious. ”

On the side, Le Bao asked Ran Teng in confusion: "Is this the arrangement of His Royal Highness King Su?" ”

As if seeing through Le Leopard's thoughts, Ran Teng nodded and said, "His Royal Highness King Su believes that a little alcohol can calm down your waiting mood, and a little drunkenness can also make it easier for you to develop your potential...... I forgot the original words of His Royal Highness King Su, that's what it meant anyway. ”

"Oh." Le Leopard nodded with relief, took the croissant, and ate and drank on the lamb cake.

"After drinking the goat's milk wine, don't throw the croissant cup around, put it back in the basket over there, and the soldiers on the city wall will use it later." After Ran Teng finished admonishing the nearby soldiers, when he turned around, he saw Li Hui looking at the sheep cake and goat milk wine in his hand in a daze, and he was stunned for a moment, and then guessed the reason.

"At this time, even if you don't have an appetite to eat, you have to force the food to swallow because you don't know when the next meal will be." While admonishing Li Hui, Ran Teng tore a piece of mutton cake, chewed it a few times, swallowed it with goat's milk wine, and then solemnly added: "Only by eating a full stomach can you have the strength to kill the enemy, and only by killing the enemy can you have the possibility of surviving!" …… Got it, recruit?! ”

As Ran Teng guessed, in fact, at this moment, Li Hui had any appetite because he had just killed several enemies, but after listening to the words of Ran Teng, a thousand generals, he still forced himself to swallow these foods by force.

All in order to survive this battle!

When they had had eaten their fill, the soldiers rested in silence, and no one laughed or wasted their strength, for they knew that it would not be long before they would set foot on the walls again and fight the slaves again.

Sure enough, about half an hour later, on the steps of the city wall, a general's order came: "The general has an order, the first battalion and the second battalion will change guards!" ”

Hearing this, it seemed that Ran Teng's thousands of generals immediately stood up and shouted and urged the reluctant soldiers around them: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Fast! Go to the city walls! ”

"It's terrible......

Li Hui, Le Bao, and Yang Wu glanced at each other, and with their arms that had recovered some physical strength, they picked up the weapons around them and climbed the city wall again. (To be continued.) )
