Li Guanqi hurriedly passed through the soldiers and ordered all the wounded soldiers to be sent down to the city for treatment, but a considerable number of wounded soldiers refused.

"If the city can be defended, it will not be too late for us to go down to govern, if the city can't be defended, it is better to die a glorious death on the battlefield!" A warrior with bandages on his head and arms said with a smile, although the smile on his blood-stained face looked terrifying, Li Guanqi only felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Noticing that his age was no longer young, thinking that he was a veteran warrior of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, Li Guanqi still persuaded: "There are us here, you better go down." ”

"I have been a soldier for 20 years, and the comrades-in-arms who joined the army with me at the beginning are now gone, and I have been working as a cavalry guard for the next 18 years, except for the first two years on the Longyou front, until this time Li Chen and the two thieves rebelled, I thought I would never have the opportunity to go to the battlefield again in my life." At the moment of the great enemy, this middle-aged warrior said calmly and unhurriedly, "When I first became a cavalry guard, I was very happy, because I no longer had to be born and die, and I was afraid. But after the past 18 years, I have realized that the real glory of being a soldier is still on the battlefield.

To be honest, although the training of the cavalry guards has always been relatively hard, I always think in my heart that a soldier who has not been on the battlefield is not a real soldier, and no matter how good the training is in peacetime, he may not be able to win the battle on the battlefield.

Your Majesty! At the beginning, when you were going to lead the troops yourself, I thought you were just a child, on a whim, and those of us who were soldiers were going to suffer, but I didn't expect you to lead us to win so many battles. I feel like I'm back to when I was younger. Even if I die in battle today, I will die a glorious death, and I have no regrets! Your Majesty, it is the greatest honor of my life to be able to fight with you......"

The surrounding soldiers were silent to listen to what he said, and they didn't seem to see the attack of the Shannan Army's pro-guard regiment in thick armor. It is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to penetrate the thick cowhide armor, not to mention that they have run out of arrows, and all they can do is wait for them to come up and fight hand-to-hand.

"Thank you!" Li Guanqi nodded at the veteran and said, "It's also my honor to be able to fight with you!" ”

Li Guanqi turned around and saw a wounded soldier who was still childish. There were also several bandages on his body, and his right hand was missing from the elbow down, and he couldn't help but be moved: "You are so badly injured, let's go down and rest!" ”

When the young wounded soldier saw that Li Guanqi was actually talking to him in person, his face was flushed with excitement, and he hurriedly waved his left hand, the steel knife in his hand almost touched Li Guanqi, and he hurriedly put his left hand behind his back, and stumbled and said, "Back to Your Majesty!" I'm ...... this year Sixteen years old. It turned out to be in Hedong...... I just joined the Riders a year ago...... My right hand is gone, and I still have my left hand, and I can still fight, and I won't go down......"

Li Guanqi suddenly felt that tears were about to burst out of his eyes, with such a warrior following him, what else could he ask for? Regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, whether Yongchuan City can be defended or not, and whether it can successfully counter the rebellion. Li Guanqi didn't think it was important, for a man. Struggle, struggle, bloodshed, that's enough.

Chen Yinjie doesn't understand military affairs, but since he arrived at Yongchuan City, good luck has always been on his side, and this wave of attacks He chose to use the thick-armored pro-guard regiment as the vanguard, which was purely out of whim. But once again, he mistakenly chose the right tactic - Yongchuan City is not a place to use troops. There were very few rolling logs and stones in the city, which had already been exhausted in the previous waves, and the arrows had been almost used, so it was the best time to send the best guards to charge.

Just as the soldiers of the Pro-Guard Regiment began to climb the city wall with heavy steps. Suddenly there was an excited cry from the city.

Immediately after, the sound ......of a "buzzing" swarm sounded......

Rows of arrows rained down from the city, shooting out like meteors, and the archers who followed behind the Guards became the victims of this round of attacks.

Then, there was a second round of arrows, and dozens of arrows were fired at the same time at a guard dressed in cowhide armor, and the parts that they could not cover by the armor, such as the face and joints, became the target of attack. These archers were extremely accurate, as if they were specially trained archers, and the strong bows and arrows they used were extremely penetrating, and the thick armor that ordinary bows and arrows could not penetrate became vulnerable under their bows and arrows.

It turned out that the people in the city were greatly moved when they saw Li Guanqi and them fighting bloodily and were seriously injured, plus the Xiao cavalry guards have not disturbed the people since they entered the city until now, and then contacted what the Chen family father and son did to them before, and finally someone couldn't hold it back, and the support from the city came. The first to arrive were the Orions of the city, who not only brought a large number of arrows, but almost all of them themselves were marksmen.

Like a straw swept by a scythe, the guards approaching the foot of the city fell, their cowhide armor blocked most of the attacks for them, although many arrows penetrated the leather armor, but the part that passed through did not kill them, but this also made the whole battlefield screams almost overshadow the shouts of killing.

Modern military scientists believe that the individual weapons used by the army should mainly kill and injure the enemy, and should not mainly kill the enemy, not out of humanitarianism, but because the wounded soldier has a greater impact on other comrades-in-arms than the soldier who dies in battle. Sometimes injuring one enemy is equivalent to killing two enemies, because the wounded soldiers need to be taken care of by their comrades, and the struggle of the wounded soldiers can also make the comrades lose their fighting spirit.

This is the case with the Shannan Army now, the guards who were hit by the arrows, there were actually very few dead, but hundreds of people who were shot like hedgehogs let out painful screams at the same time, which made the soldiers of the Shannan Army, who had been demoralized in the fierce battle for half a day, begin to scatter again.

Chen Yinjie couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't know where Li Guanqi got these marksmen and arrows from, but he also knew that under this sudden wave of arrow rain blows, his own strength was exhausted, even if he didn't understand military affairs, he also knew that if he forced the soldiers to continue to attack at this time, it was just to let them escape faster, it was better to take advantage of the defeat before it spread, and then make plans.

Looking at the Shannan army that retreated again, Li Guanqi breathed a sigh of relief, and while secretly thinking about other countermeasures. The reason why it was able to resist this wave of attacks so easily was that it was a surprise opportunity, and it was because of the fatigue of the battle, so it scared the Shannan Army's personal guard regiment into temporarily retreating. However, both the number of hunters and the number of arrows are a drop in the bucket, and Chen Yinjie still has more than 30,000 people in his hands to use. If he can't quickly open this situation, whether Yongchuan City can hold it or not, he really has no bottom in his heart. (To be continued......)
