The fire in the city of Qiuzi has not been extinguished since the first day of the arrival of the Turkic coalition forces.

Guo Ping shot the last crossbow arrow in his hand, and then rushed to the mouth of the battlement, and used a fork to overturn the enemy's ladder, and without having a chance to catch his breath, he picked up the shield and stood on this gap, and there was an incessant clanging sound from above. Squatted against the shield, took out a rice ball from his arms and stuffed it in his mouth, from morning to afternoon, he didn't eat a mouthful, this rice ball was already rancid.

The sky is full of big stones, this is the Turkic catapult, since the crossbow bolts of the eight bull crossbows on the city are exhausted, this thing can be close to the city wall, the Turkic catapult is not big, the stones thrown are not big, it is the size of a human head, but there are a lot of them, there is no way to hide, the city wall of Qiuzi is not the city wall in the pass has a hidden soldier hole, the city wall here is a two-zhang high earthen wall.

Whether you can be hit by a stone depends on luck, the luck of the stone is not good, being hit by two stones in a row, the sternum has been exposed, and half of the head has disappeared. Only the hands and feet can still twitch a few times unconsciously.

It's not good to call it a stone!

Guo Ping's luck was very good, the nearest stone to him was also a foot away, the stone rain stopped, and the horn sounded outside the city, three short and one long, this was the horn of the Turks retreating, Guo Ping stretched out his curled legs, turned his head and watched the Turks retreat like a tide from the gap in the shield.

He looked at the Hu people who fell at the head of the city, and found that they were wearing white robes, this is not a Turkic, it should be a person with the surname Zhaowu Jiu. At the beginning, I still had the heart to cut off my head or ears to report military merits, but as time went on, no one was interested in doing this. At this time, you can take a sip of water and eat the noodles is considered the greatest enjoyment.

The captain's shout sounded at the head of the city: "The first team is the whole team, the second team is the whole team, the third team is the whole team, report the number!" The mouth was broken, and the one next to him who couldn't speak helped to report the number. ”

Guo Ping pricked up his ears and listened, the three hundred-man team stopped moving when they counted to sixty-one, and there were one hundred and seventy-three people yesterday. A full 112 men were lost in battle today.

Life and death are ordinary things! Guo Ping wanted to say this, this is what the veteran said when he entered the army, and the veteran did not say it impassionedly. It's just very bland, like saying I've already eaten.

The body of the stone was dragged down by the auxiliaries, and his armor was removed, and one of the auxiliaries put the armor of the stone on himself. By the way, he took the horizontal knife and spear of the stone and sat beside Guo Ping.

The auxiliary soldier took out a fist-sized raw watermelon from his leather bag and handed it to Guo Ping, saying with a smile: "When I requisitioned the houses of those Hu people in the city. I found a watermelon from the garden, but I didn't have time to eat a little white stubble. “

Guo Ping knew that this was a way for the recruits to show affection, and yesterday Shi also promised to go back to Sanyuan and invite him to go to the Wei River to peek at the women taking a bath, and the white bodies of those women were very good-looking.

The watermelon is light and tasteless, like broken cotton wool, but fortunately, the melon skin is very watery, and it is good to moisten the throat.

The auxiliary soldiers secretly stuffed Guo Ping's crossbow arrows with a whole base. When he touched the bolts, he found that the grease on them had not been cleaned. There are twenty-four short crossbows of one foot and six minutes, which are quite a few. "Where did you get it? Isn't this stuff already available in limited quantities? "I'm on an errand in logistics, it's my brother-in-law who found me on an errand, and now my brother-in-law was transferred to the north of the city by the general, I don't know what's going on, these crossbow arrows are all left to me by him, I can't use the crossbow arrows, it's better to hand them over to you."

Guo Ping nodded, lowered his head and tore off a piece of linen cloth and began to wipe the grease on these crossbow arrows, he had just sworn that he would never ask the names of those new soldiers again, ask one, die another, it is unlucky.

The stars came out, and the Turks in the distance did not leave, looking at the bonfires outside the city that seemed to be about to reach the sky, and I didn't know how many enemies there were, the first people to attack were the Tuyuhun people, these people were easy to deal with, as long as they killed the generals who were the leader, they would be scattered.

Then came up Xue Yantuo people, their bodies were very strong, they rushed up with their bare upper bodies, their chests were full of black hair, these guys' necks were very thick, and the sharp horizontal knives could not remove their heads with one knife, but they might be stuck with the blades, their own team was dying like this, it was a very powerful veteran, just paused like this, and was shattered by the flail of Xue Yantuo's soldiers, Guo Ping believes that the best weapon to kill these guys is to throw guns, and the body is thick and the goal is big, The head of a spear more than a foot long can easily pierce their bodies, even if they are wearing leather armor.

The scimitar surnamed Zhaowu Jiu is very powerful, most of the people today are dead under the scimitar, the wounds are on the joints and throats that the armor can't cover, it's best to use such a short crossbow to deal with them, if it's a short arrow quenched with poison, it's just that the commander doesn't allow his subordinates to use poison, unlike those people in Beiting, they can use poisoned arrows, even if this kind of short crossbow arrow is lost, it doesn't matter, and the Hu people don't have such a thing, the crossbow arrow is a full foot shorter than the arrow they use to ride the bow, what if you get it, do you throw it over?

Today's food supply is still only rice soup, Guo Ping understands the general's distress, it will take at least a month for Beiting's reinforcements to come, or even longer, everyone needs to save food to survive this more than a month.

I heard that Yun Shuai and Guo Shuai in Beiting were at odds, one of them looked unpleasant, Guo Shuai thought that Yun Shuai was a timid young man, and Yun Shuai said that Guo Shuai was an old brute who only knew how to rush forward. Guo Shuai was angry and handed the paper to His Majesty, and as a result, Guo Shuai broke away from Yun Shuai's command, and the Anxi Army has always been independent, and I haven't heard of who will be under the command, this is a small word that the captain said during the meeting, and Guo Ping is hearing it as a new team.

There is no reason to speak to Yun Shuai with Guo Shuai, even if Yun Shuai's title is higher than Guo Shuai's, even if Guo Shuai leads everyone to be surrounded by the enemy's army, no one has complained, Da Shuai has also begun to inspect the city in the past few days, encourage everyone to hold on for a while, the Beiting Army will drive over, and when the time comes, everyone will work together to kill these Hu people.

Strange to say, everyone knows that Guo Shuai has torn his face with Yun Shuai, but no one has ever suspected that Yun Shuai will deliberately not come to the rescue, even the chefs in the army will not think so, everyone will only pinch their fingers and calculate that Yun Shuai has gone there, after all, there is a full 1,600 road from Gaochang to Qiuzi, and there is a desert in the middle.

"After another thirty-six days, Yun Shuai's army will come, and we will go out of the city to kill it!" Guo Ping suddenly turned his head and said happily to the dozing recruit next to him.

In the morning, it was another meal of gruel, but each person would have two more rice balls, otherwise the two gruel meals a day would be hungry. Guo Ping quickly drank the gruel, ate a rice ball, wrapped another rice ball into his arms, this is his own lunch, as long as the Turks start to attack the city, they will not have lunch, they have been fighting in the city for seven days, and they will rotate if they hold on for another three days, so they must persist in these three days anyway.

The auxiliaries had been busy all night, and the broken gaps had been blocked with barbed wire, and behind the barbed wire there were countless sharpened beams and columns, which at a glance knew that they had been pulled from other people's houses.

Guo Ping received a new order, that is, he needed to take his team of 100 to focus on defending the corner of the city wall, this place is very bad, because of the corner, the whole team is supported in the front, and it is also the most dangerous place, which is to use one of his teams as two teams.

Guo Ping was about to open his mouth to say that he only had seventy-one people left, and he couldn't bear such a heavy responsibility, but when he saw the red eyes of the captain, he couldn't say a word.

The lieutenant took out five crossbow arrows from his quiver and put them in Guo Ping's hand and said, "Live to resist Lao Tzu!" With that, he left. The captain is a son of a family, and he seems to be a viscount or a baron? Guo Pingfen didn't know which of the two titles was bigger, but he only knew that the captain was drunk and bragged that the handsome man would shout 'Tingdu' when he saw him, and he didn't know if it was true.

The damn Western Regions became hot the moment the sun came out, and the corpses under the city walls had become stinking after a night of fermentation, in order not to be poisoned by the corpse, Guo Ping needed to wear a pig's mouth, and only by wearing a pig's mouth, the pungent stench would be reduced, and the belly of some Hu people's corpses was very large, and the leather armor was stretched alive, Guo Ping turned his head and didn't want to see that scene.

Because the belly was about to burst, and sure enough, after a loud bang, the colorful internal organs flew everywhere, and every time at this time, there would be a swarm of flies flying up with a bang, almost blocking Guo Ping's line of sight.

Yesterday, the marshal shot a document with an arrow to inform the other party that they could collect the corpses of their own people, at this time the city did not release arrows, this is a common way for the two armies to fight, once the plague started, it is not good for the two armies, but the Turks do not seem to react, they have no intention of reining their own people at all.

"Damn, when the battle is over, I'm afraid I'll have to soak in perfume to get rid of the smell on my body!"

The Turks slowly came from a distance pushing catapults, and there were large groups of soldiers walking behind, Guo Ping counted, there were tens of thousands of people, twice as many as yesterday's 5,000 people, it seems that today's days are not easy.

"Prepare to look for shelter, do not expose your body, the battlements are unreliable, once the trebuchet starts to strike, stick your body tightly to the root of the wall, you can't run, once the stone throwing is over, you must quickly stand up and fight! Did you hear that? ”

"Whoa!" (To be continued......)
