When the second round of arrows was thrown from the city, standing in Yang Qing's position and angle, he could no longer see the Hu soldiers who rushed to the city. Not only him, but all the Jin soldiers in front of the city wall squatted down, not looking at the enemy formation under the city, but just shooting in the general direction - because the archers of the Hu people could already shoot at the head of the city at this time.

Yang Qing drew his knife in his hand, his legs spread one after the other, ready to shift his center of gravity back at any time, swinging his knife to block the incoming arrows. However, there were not many arrows thrown at the head of the city, and most of them went over his head and shot at the reserves behind him—of course, the force of the drop was not very strong, and almost no one was injured.

There is a building in the city, and there is a special lookout on the upper floor, and when he sees Hu Jun approaching the city wall, he immediately raises the flag and beats the drum. Yang Qing didn't turn his head, just listened attentively, and when he heard the sound of the drum, he immediately ordered: "Throw stones!" ”

The soldiers carried the stones they had prepared around them, most of them the size of melons, and placed them on the top of the battlements, and then pushed them down. The young man from the bookkeeper was inexperienced, and he lifted the stone with both hands and threw it downward, instinctively leaning up slightly. The old man next to him hurriedly shouted: "Don't die! "Pull the young shoulder. The young man tilted his body, and almost at the same time, a feathered arrow shot from under the city, grazing his neck. The young man was so frightened that he shuddered, fell on his back, threw the stone out of his hand, and went straight to Yang Qingmian's door......

Fortunately, Yang Qing was on full alert, and in a hurry, the stones passed by. Immediately, there was an "oops" sound behind him, and someone shouted: "Be careful! Yang Qing turned his body slightly, smiled at the reserve team behind him, and apologized, but when he turned his head, he scolded the young man loudly: "Stupid thief! If you don't know something, you can see how others move, and don't want to affect me! ”

As soon as the words fell, a little helmet suddenly appeared on the city wall, and Yang Qing immediately shouted: "It's here!" The old soldier reacted the fastest, and immediately raised his spear, the tip of which was pointed forward, and waited on the wall, until the evil face of the soldier under the helmet was revealed, and his arms struggled, and he stabbed away with a spear. The Hu soldier was hit by a spear in the door, and with a miserable scream, he disappeared.

Yang Qing glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw that there were Hu soldiers in the eighth section on the west side next to him, who had climbed up, dodged the spear of the Jin pawn, and slashed with a sword. The three Jin soldiers cooperated with each other, one held a spear to block the incoming knife, and one shook the tip of the spear on the left side of the Hu soldier, forcing him to deviate to the right, and then the Jin soldier on the other side advanced with a spear, hitting the front chest of the Hu soldier......

As soon as he glanced back, he saw that the second Hu soldier here had already landed. This Hu soldier was light and healthy, and he came so fast, almost more than four feet high, and before the Jin soldiers could react, he had already stepped on the city with one foot. The three Jin soldiers raised their spears and stabbed - this was originally a skill in the army, and they were mastered, but it was a pity that Yang Qing's platoon was improvised, and there were several young men in the city, and the degree of cooperation was quite poor - Hu Bing flashed slightly, and he had already let go of the two spears, and then waved his knife to open the third spear, and the second foot also fell on the city wall.

Yang Qing saw that the situation was not good-if this guy gave way, then the third one would jump up quickly--when he was about to fight, he was fighting for his life, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately jumped forward with his sword. The Hu soldier was about to jump over the battlement, but was shaken in front of Yang Qing's long knife, and was forced to temporarily change direction, and the old soldier next to him raised a spear, hit his arm, and fell backwards.

But he just let it go, and sure enough, the third Hu Bing also jumped up. Yang Qing threw away the long knife, snatched the spear from the young man's hand, and scolded: "Look at it, how to kill the thief!" He and the old soldier cooperated, and instantly stabbed the third Hu soldier down the city, but unfortunately he had just grabbed the spear, and the grip was not very tight, and one was careless, the spear pierced too deep and was difficult to pull, so he simply had to let go - the Hu soldier fell with the spear.

Yang Qingcai had just taken a breath when he heard the old soldier laugh and said, "Platoon commander, you Shicai has also committed the name of the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

Yang Qing didn't react at all, he didn't understand what he said at all, and just continued to scold the young man: "You don't need you here, go to the back and get a few more spears and stones." ”

As soon as the young man left the fortress, another soldier jumped up. This thief was cunning, and he actually jumped diagonally from the wooden ladder, nearly five steps away from Yang Qing, and several Jin soldiers raised their spears to resist, but they were stabbed down by the Hu soldiers, and immediately cut over one person. Yang Qing was busy dealing with the next Hu soldier, and he didn't have time to save him, and he could only glance at it from the corner of his eye, so he heard the old soldier shout: "The platoon commander stepped back, I haven't died yet, what are you doing here?!" ”

Yang Qing picked up the long knife he had thrown down, and made a move from the newly popped up Hu soldier, and the old pawn next to him and another Jin pawn stabbed the enemy together. Immediately, Yang Qing took advantage of the gap to retreat, and called another subordinate to fill the position, and in the blink of an eye, the previous Hu soldier who jumped up had already slashed over a Jin pawn in his own platoon.

Yang Qing held a long knife in his hand and rushed forward with all his strength - he knew that he must not let this guy stay in the city for too long, otherwise the pressure on the city defenders would increase, and for the attackers under the city, it would become a good example, enough to boost the fighting spirit - seeing that it was approaching, the Hu soldier suddenly roared, took two steps forward, and slashed at the door in front of him with a knife. As soon as Yang Qing crossed the knife, he felt that his arm was sore—this thief has so much strength!

He was panicking, and suddenly heard a "whoosh", and the Hu soldier in front of him was hit by an arrow in his forehead and fell on his back. Without waiting for Yang Qing to mend the knife, the two Jin soldiers next to him raised their spears and pierced the two ribs of this Hu soldier. Yang Qing hurriedly turned his head, and saw that above the city tower, a general stood tall, still holding the bow handle in his left hand, which was his direct boss, the deputy superintendent of the left part of the "Lifeng Left Battalion".

The two hurriedly exchanged glances, and the deputy governor on the left looked away. Yang Qing took two steps back, a little farther away from the city wall, and his heart was dangerous, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw where Hu Bing had set up the ladder, and another of his subordinates had fallen down, and the old soldier seemed to be injured in the shoulder.

Yang Qing couldn't help but shout: "Scratch the hook, in whose hand is the hook?" Push the thief ladder quickly! ”

——————————

The last attack of the Hu army that day came and went as quickly as possible—mainly because the sunset was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the sky darkened instantly, and Hu was forced to withdraw his troops in the camp.

Yang Qing heard the gong on the other side, and couldn't help but let out a sigh, and then he felt that his limbs were soft. Ran over to check on his subordinates, twenty-six soldiers, four died, two were severely injured, and more than half of them were also painted. Yang Qingxin said that it was okay that I was not injured...... But if he didn't want to pay it back, he thought about it, and the wound on his back suddenly throbbed, as if he wanted to remind him.

The old pawn was wounded on the shoulder, but it was not very deep, and he took water to clean it according to the regulations, and then asked his comrades to help him wrap the wound. Yang Qing asked him: "How can I not apply medicine?" The old pawn pouted: "It's less than two points into the meat, what kind of medicine is it......" raised his head and glanced at Yang Qing, lowered his voice and said: "Platoon commander, fortunately, it gets dark early, and Hu Kou retreats quickly, if it is in the daytime, I'm afraid we will all die...... That means, you are really not very good at commanding."

Yang Qing defended himself: "Hurriedly put together, I can't even know the head, how can I order and command?" The old man said: "Tomorrow, be vigilant, the platoon commander doesn't want the fourteenth row on the left to become an empty shelf again." ”

Yang Qing said angrily: "You really should ...... Lao Zhang, who is going to die, has very poisonous teeth, and wants to curse but curse himself, Hugh wants to curse the whole row together! ”

While speaking, several more teams of Jin soldiers held torches high and ascended to the top of the city to replace Yang Qing and the others. Yang Qing counted a little, except for those who were killed in battle and seriously wounded, there was one less, glanced left and right, and asked: "What about the kid who can read and settle accounts?" ”

Before the words fell, the young man came out from behind him and said with a bitter face: "Villain...... The villain didn't know where to get the spear and the stone......" Yang Qing was furious, raised his foot, and kicked him hard: "Clearly cowardly and evasive, and dare to quibble!" "I wanted to tie up this guy and cut it with a knife, with the right military law, but unfortunately I looked left and right, and there was no first-level Sima in my field of vision, so I suppressed my anger and let that guy live for the time being.

He led the remnants of his soldiers down to the city, and suddenly felt an upset in his stomach—he had eaten too little, and after a few fierce battles, he felt hungry again. But then he instinctively turned his head, and saw that the old man was stuffing something into his mouth...... He asked, "What have you eaten?" The old man rolled his eyes and replied vaguely: "A mouthful of bread saved by my own family during the day......" spread his hands: "I have eaten it all, but I am not full." ”

Yang Qing licked his lips: "I don't know if there is an extra meal today......"

In these days, ordinary people are accustomed to two meals a day - in fact, it is not a habit, but the lack of materials is not enough to cover the cost of three meals - as for the aristocracy, they can eat whenever they want, such as Pei Cai's daily life, often five meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner plus supper. Pei's army tried to provide dry meals for his soldiers, especially when fighting, and only two meals, but if there was a fierce fight at night, he would occasionally be rewarded with an extra meal.

But it's a pity that today's last battle didn't last long, and the military officials didn't plan to add food to the soldiers, so Yang Qing and the others had no choice but to tighten their belts and lie down with their clothes. If it was an ordinary day, he said that he had to sneak out to find some food, but in wartime, the military law was particularly strict, and he really didn't dare to walk around.

There were no military tribunals in those days, and the captain said that he would kill his subordinates, and no one would be wronged for him.

The more tired he became, the hungrier he felt, but he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, and he fell into a vicious circle...... I heard the young man ask the old man in a low voice: "This city ...... Is it possible for this city to be kept? I haven't married yet, so I don't want to die......"

The old man scolded him: "Since you are under siege, what do you want to marry?" If you can keep it, you have to keep it, and if you can't keep it, you have to keep it! Or die in the city, or if the soldiers break the city, most of them will be slaughtered all over the city—do you still want to live? ”

Then came the sound of the young sobbing. The old pawn rebuked in disgust: "What kind of soup does the man drop? Really bad luck - leave farther away, and the bad luck of the rest of your religion will stain me! ”

Yang Qing also felt impatient, but he didn't bother to scold the young man, so he opened his mouth and said to the old pawn: "But I know that your surname is Zhang, and I haven't asked the name yet......" The old pawn turned over in the dark, and seemed to be laughing: "The villain doesn't have a big name, line three, after joining the army, Sima gave him a name, so he called me Zhang Shen - please ask the platoon leader's name?" ”

"My name is Yang Qing, I listen to your accent, I am from Xuzhou?"

Zhang Shen nodded: "Yes, the villain's family is in Huaiyin." ”

Yang Qing couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "I heard that the Metropolitan Governor raised soldiers in Huaiyin, if you followed the Metropolitan Governor at that time, how can you be a small military commander today?" ”

Zhang Shen smiled bitterly: "It's just bad luck." I was originally a tenant with a large family, the owner's surname was Chen, two brothers, his brother was killed by the governor of the capital, and his brother was treason and voted for Hu, and even this dock fort was given a cold reception. In addition, when the governor of the capital first recruited soldiers, he only accepted those who had families, and I was a widower, and I was old, so I could only be a tunmin......

"Later, most of the governors of the Northern Expedition, I won the grain and went on the expedition, and I waited until I entered the customs to become a regular soldier......"

Yang Qingdao: "In this way, it seems to me that I was originally from the 'Thunder Battalion' Guo Du, when Guo Du served as the Metropolitan Governor, I was only an auxiliary soldier because of my thinness, and I was promoted to a regular soldier after entering the customs. ”

Zhang Shen said: "No wonder, I heard the platoon commander's accent, like a Sizhou person...... Is the platoon commander terrible to die? ”

He suddenly changed the topic, and when he asked this, Yang Qing was caught off guard, and after a pause, he said, "Who is not afraid of death?" But I categorically refused to be a deserter......"

Zhang Shen smiled: "What's so terrible about death? I have lived for more than 40 years, my wife starved to death, full 20 years of spring and autumn, I am hard, I don't die of hunger, but the taste of hunger is really uncomfortable......"

Someone next to him interjected: "Who hasn't tasted hunger yet?" ”

Zhang Shen shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, such as my former owner, the Chen brothers, were born with hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and their fathers and ancestors accumulated endless wealth, but they definitely don't know what it is like to be hungry." I really wanted them to starve a few times, but unfortunately, the eldest died with an arrow, and the second went to vote for Hu...... Or is it karma? I guess he is still hungry. I only got a few full meals when I was selected as a regular soldier, and I felt that this life was worth it, and since the Metropolitan Governor rewarded me with a full meal, I died for the Metropolitan Governor, and I should ...... It should be. ”

Yang Qing said unhappily: "I'm hungry, don't ask for food!" ”

Zhang Shen said repeatedly: "Exactly, exactly, although I am willing to die for the governor of the capital, I am not willing to wait for these people who refuse to give me food...... Do not die for them. Unless they give me a full meal! ”

This "damn open" mouth is indeed poisonous, and the next day, Yang Qing sent people to receive grain, and it turned out that he brought a full three and a half buckets of brown wheat, two bowls of pickled vegetables, and even a small piece of bacon! All the soldiers cheered, and Zhang Shen was also dumbfounded: "What do you mean, isn't this going to pass?" ”

Yang Qing couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good. There are only two possibilities for the army to suddenly release additional food, one is that the intensity of the battle will increase, and the other is that the food cannot be left for the enemy - is Zhou Du planning to break through and leave? Which teams will he take with him, and will he leave a broken back? God forbid, but you must bring yourself!
