Chapter 351: Rain Battle (1)
The weather in summer is changing, just now the sun is still shining, stuffy and hot, people can't bear it, but now there is a sudden strong wind and heavy rain.
The third child wiped his face with his hand and shook off the water in his hand, but this action was obviously useless, and his face was soon hit by the ensuing rain so that he could barely open his eyes, and had to cover his eyes with one hand in order to watch the situation under the city.
"Poof!" The third child sprayed the rain in his mouth on the ground, "it, this ghost weather!" ”
With that, he poked his head out of the castle tower, swept left and right, and looked at the three ladders on the city wall.
At this time, it was afternoon, Lao Yan and the third child finished eating, and brought people to the city to change shifts.
In the torrential rain, the vision was a little blurred, but I could still see vaguely that the homeless people were still forced by the bandits with knives, and they kept climbing up the city wall along the ladder, and faintly, from time to time you could still hear the shouting and scolding that came up.
Now there are more than the first small boss and his men who supervise the battle under the city, the cloud ladder has increased from the initial one to three, and the number of displaced people who attack on the back is not safe, and the number of people who supervise the war is a little insufficient.
In order to attack the pass of Zhuolu Mountain day and night, Gao Yingxiang sent more than 100 people in one breath to supervise the displaced people to climb the ladder and attack the city.
"Phew!" The third child spat casually under the city, and said disdainfully, "Brother Yan, you said that the bandits let these weak chickens line up on the ground to send them to death, what the hell are they trying to do, it's been two days, and there are thousands of people who have died, but they have no intention of retreating at all. ”
"Isn't this obvious, the third child, they just rely on the large number of people and bully us with few people, trying to exhaust us and consume us to death." Lao Yan held a steel knife in his right hand, and wiped the rain on his face with his left hand.
"Cut, just with them?" The third child juggled a few times with the steel knife in his hand, "Look at the children, what is the difference between killing these people and killing a chicken?" Besides, I'm afraid they can't imagine that our manpower rotation is enough. ”
On the castle tower, facing the position of the three ladders, three columns were lined up in an orderly manner, and as soon as a homeless person emerged from the city wall, it was a standard lunge sprint, whether they were in the middle or not, they quickly retreated, giving up their position to the people behind him.
Next to the three columns, each with six men holding ash poles, stared at the head of the city, which was a reserve for dealing with fish that slipped through the net.
The whole team did not see any confusion even in the heavy rain, except for the sound of the rain hitting the ground, the screams of the homeless people being stabbed, and the footsteps of the team members, there was no other sound on the entire city wall, but there was a strange silence in the noisy environment, which was in stark contrast to the chaotic scene under the city.
Lao Yan nodded, and praised sincerely, "Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang, the two boys, not to mention their outstanding martial arts, really have a hand in military training, and before the bandits, they can do the order and prohibition, and now that they have seen the bloodshed of the past few days, they already have some strong military demeanor." ”
"They have a strong military demeanor, so our brothers can be idle," the third complained, "The whole body is drenched like this, and if you want to move, you don't have a chance to warm up." ”
"Don't be like this, third child, although these bandits are unbearable, we can't be careless, there are still capable people in it." Lao Yan said, "You see, except for the first time before, the ladder was directly put on the wall battlement, and we haven't done this since, so that the tools we made with the branches have all become useless." ”
After all, Lao Yan pointed to a few long sticks in the corner of the wall, one end in the shape of a girl.
"Also, on the premise that we cut down the trees almost enough, we can still build a ladder so quickly, which is considered a bit of ability."
The third child casually glanced at the branches, "It's okay, Brother Yan, I can't use it now, I can use it as firewood in the future." ”
"How's that going to work? Even if you don't need it for a while, you have to prepare it, what if it will be useful one day? The old man reprimanded.
"Alas," the third sighed, and glanced at the city again, where the bandit leader gathered, and it was already within the range of his bow and arrow, "Didn't this kid Li Dingguo say that when the thieves slack off and we can reach it, we can use arrows, why don't you let them use it?" ”
"What are you muttering, it's not the right time." Lao Yan said, "In terms of timing, do you think it is bad to set the country?" Forget the battle he ambushed us in the valley? Besides, with such a heavy rain, our bow is taken out, and when it is drenched by the rain, how strong it can be, and whether the arrow can shoot or not is a problem. ”
"Okay, okay, Brother Yan, it's not interesting for our brothers to argue about this, you stay for a while, I'll go to the gatehouse to take shelter from the rain, this ghost weather." The third child said that he was about to leave, and he was really disgusted with this heavy rain.
Originally, if the weather was fine, there was no need to trouble others, he could boil some boiling water and splash it down, and he could make some efforts, but with such a heavy rain, even if there was a shelter in the gatehouse, it would be okay to boil water, but it could be poured down again by the city wall, and when it came to people, the boiling water became warm water, where was there any lethality.
As for the rolling logs and stones, the current battle situation is not fierce enough to be used.
Since the end of the Apocalypse, not only in northern Shaanxi, but also in the whole north is drier and drier year by year, and it is rare to see such a big rain, he wishes that the rain would fall more and more, and for a longer time, so that the strange and magical grains planted in the mountains may be able to harvest more.
Seeing that the third child wanted to take shelter from the rain, Lao Yan did not object, the rain was too big, only a moment's work, they were soaked all over their bodies, sweating profusely and being soaked in the rain, the heat in the body had not yet dissipated, and the damp and cold air outside had soaked in, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Lao Yan thought to himself, with these homeless people, the reserve team and himself would be enough to deal with it, but the third child couldn't just go to the city gate tower, he had to do something.
"The third child, don't be idle when you go to the gatehouse, wash some ginger and come out, boil a pot of ginger soup, warm up everyone, and drive away the cold." Lao Yan instructed that although they followed Zhiwen late, they were still basically developed the hygiene habits that they should pay attention to in their daily lives.
Sweating profusely under the heat, this kind of heavy rain suddenly, not only will be attacked by the cold, but the moisture will also take advantage of the void, a bad, this big battle, many team members are afraid that they will fall ill, at this time, large-scale attrition, for Zhuolushan, is unbearable.
"Okay, you're still thoughtful, Brother Yan." The third child paused for a moment and went on.
