In the early morning, the sky is cloudless, and the sun is swaying, as beautiful as ever.

However, the smell in the air was not good, and Li Zizi seemed to be able to smell blood.

Outside Weinan Pass, the battle lasted all night and has not stopped until now.

After the battle of the recruit regiment last night, he only slept for half an hour, sitting on the ground and back to back with Mr. Wu.

I felt like I had just fallen asleep and was woken up, and it was already dawn.

The whole phalanx was a little chaotic.

Everyone didn't stand in a neat position, just a guard and ten people huddled together.

However, some of them are less than ten people, and some of them died in battle last night, and their bodies have been transported.

None of the people looked good.

The men picked up food to distribute, one person and one bun, and one bamboo tube to drink in turn.

After breakfast, Li Jiao came back with a gloomy face.

The ten-person team quickly formed a row and looked at Li Jiao.

Li Jiao's gaze stayed on Li Zizai's body, and then she quickly swept over others and said:

"In last night's battle, we killed 400 enemies and captured 300 black magic war horses, but this kind of horse recognizes the owner, it is difficult to tame, and the meat killed is inedible, hard and tasteless, difficult to digest, can only be buried, not considered trophies. And our soldiers suffered heavy casualties, not to mention the wounded, 2,721 people were killed, including 60 10 guards and 32 100 guards, we lost this battle!"

Everyone lowered their heads when they heard this, and they didn't dare to come out.

Li Jiao's voice suddenly raised and said:

"But even though you are defeated, you are still glorious! You are new soldiers, and you have fought against the barbarian black magic iron cavalry, and the deputy chief soldier is very pleased to receive such a result! We can rejoice and be encouraged, but we must not forget this blood debt! Next, we must train immediately, the enemy's siege momentum is fierce, and you may be asked to go up to support at any time! This is a different battle, so today's training is aimed at how to defend the city! I will introduce you to all kinds of siege defense equipment, as well as command terms, you must keep it in mind!"

"Yes!"

After a day as a soldier and experienced a real bloody battle, the momentum of the recruits burst out, and this slogan was shouted loudly.

After Li Jiao finished speaking, she looked at Li Zizi again and said softly:

"I have already reported to the deputy chief soldier that you killed a barbarian cavalry last night, and my lord praised you for your courage and decisiveness, and ordered me to bring you a message, and seal the ten guard commanders, who are still under my command to listen to the order and experience, you must study with an open mind, and if you can be of great use in a few days, you will be directly promoted to lead the soldiers. ”

Li Zizi was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say.

The people in the team are all villagers, most of them are happy for Li Zizi, only Zhu Yishan's face is pale, and he has really been surpassed now.

He is the deputy promoted by Li Jiao, and Li Zi is here as the tenth guard commander appointed by the deputy chief soldier, and he will receive much more military salary than ordinary soldiers in the future.

Li Zizai's face was indifferent, he only felt a little surprised, it was nothing, anyway, being a soldier was to kill the enemy and protect his hometown, and it didn't matter if he was an official or not.

For the next morning, Li Jiao was talking about the defense of the city wall, and Li Zizai listened very carefully.

Li Jiao looked at him several times, and saw that he was looking at herself without blinking.

This made Li Jiao a little anxious.

She knew that Li Zizi was listening carefully.

But his eyes ...... It's black and clear, like a child of a few years old, and it's really flustering to watch.

After lunch, there should be half an hour of rest, but the horn suddenly blew in front of her, and Li Jiao was about to fall asleep when she was sitting next to everyone.

She hadn't slept since last night.

As soon as the horn sounded, she jumped straight to her feet.

"Hurry!

And all the people got up and stood, and they were lined up in the hundreds.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know. ”

"The clarion call of war, which is to charge forward. ”

"Charge, and we have no enemy in front of us, where is the charge going?"

The recruits whispered.

It didn't take long to have an answer, the whole army moved forward, entered the city and climbed the wall, and Weinan Pass was in an emergency!

"Why is there such a hurry?"

"The outer wall of Weinan Pass is between two mountains, one hundred and four meters wide, thirty meters from the ground, and there are cliffs on both sides, which cannot be climbed, so why is it urgent?"

"What's the use of us going so quickly?"

"I don't want to go, I want to go home, I want to go home!"

People are full of negative emotions, and they only experienced a fierce battle last night, and no one expected that just so soon, a new army reserve would be needed.

However, all kinds of emotions are useless in front of the iron laws of the army.

The unclear team fell silent when the captains returned.

The commander of the hundred guards gave an order to the ten captains, and the whole army moved forward and rushed to Weinan Pass.

No matter how reluctant they are, when everyone is moving, people can only move forward.

Most of the steps along the way are heavy and complicated.

Li Zizai's heart was empty, and at this time he just thought, where is his wife?

She's a sword god, so it's reasonable to say there's nothing to worry about.

However, because she is a sword god, her place must be the most dangerous place, right?

Finally, the large army reached the inner city wall of Weinan Pass, where the three gates were all opened, and the team quickly passed through the city gate.

The shouting of killing was even stronger, and the wolf smoke of the city wall in front of him could already be seen.

The recruits were silent, and ran forward in a depressed mood, all they saw along the way were wounded soldiers, some had broken hands and feet, some were blurred with flesh and blood, and there was a wail everywhere, and the people accompanied the sergeants to take care of them, with tears on their faces.

Here, it turned out to be ten times more terrifying than the battle they experienced last night!

And the people, all with pale faces, ran to the lower part of the outer wall, and behold, the steps of the wall, and the walls were full of men.

All kinds of rolling stones, wooden stakes, bows and arrows, oil drums were transported, and groups of wounded soldiers were carried down.

Most of them were shot in the head, some were blinded, and some were shot in the forehead and did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Li Zizai's position is still relatively backward, so he can only see these situations.

Some of the recruits in the team had already pulled the retired veterans to probe.

"Miserable! The enemy is well prepared, the siege equipment is so complete, and the archers and archers have all the high walls, and we can't even take half a cent of the advantage when we shoot at them at the battlements of the city walls. They attacked the city wall three times in one night, and our side has killed 5,000 people, and injured countless people, basically everyone has not closed their eyes since last night, and they really can't bear it!"

The veterans left while talking, and more did not speak at all, and one of them fell to the ground and fainted while walking, and was carried by the people to feed him.

This undoubtedly increased the tension among the recruits.

The horn rises again, and the recruits begin to go up to the city, replacing the veterans and coming down to rest.

Mr. Wu pulled his arm by Li Zizai's side, his body trembled a little, literati are virtuous, but in the face of life and death, everyone is equal.

Li Zizi took a deep breath and said softly:

"Sir, don't be nervous, our defense of the city occupies the best of the territory, but the casualties are still like this, I expect that the enemy is more serious than our casualties, one will eliminate the other, but it can be a draw, you and my new army is like a rainbow, and the enemy will die if you kill it!"

Li Jiao has always paid attention to Li Zizai, and nodded secretly when she heard him say this.

This son is not a thing in the pool, and it seems that it is not an accident that he used himself as a bait to attack and kill the barbarians last night.
