Chapter 15: The Value of Contrast

"Boom! Knock knock! ”

With the rumbling of war drums from afar, the Beidi barbarians who were crushing the city like a black cloud under the city began to attack the city.

When he saw this huge war scene for the first time, Zhao Haiping was still a little frightened, but now, he has completely adapted to it, and is even a little indifferent.

After all, he has seen this scene countless times, and he has died countless times, and his mentality is as stable as an old dog.

Bow and arrow.

With the general's order, the feather arrow shot in response!

The arrow struck one of the brutes in the city, plunging deep into his right chest, and even knocking him on his back, where he struggled twice before he could get up.

Zhao Haiping looked as usual, and took the second arrow.

Zhao Haiping has also deliberately honed his archery skills before, and the method is very simple, that is, to directly take the skills of "skilled archers and horses" in the early stage, repeatedly experience the feeling of archery, and make it his muscle memory.

As long as the brute army captures the city, he will commit suicide and reopen, and so on repeatedly brush up his proficiency.

Therefore, now even if Zhao Haiping does not have the natural skills of "skilled archers and horses", his archery skills should not be underestimated.

Another arrow, and a Beidi barbarian fell again.

Drawing the bow for the third time, Zhao Haiping aimed at a cavalry leader who rushed ahead.

This time, the bow and arrow were shot at the leader's shoulder at a tricky angle, but unfortunately the leader was wearing armor, so although the cluster of arrows penetrated through the gap in the armor, it did not pierce deeply.

But in any case, three arrows in a row, although there are elements of Meng, but also Zhao Haiping's best results.

Someone next to him applauded: "Good archery!" ”

Zhao Haiping remained silent and continued to bend his bow and arrows.

He had also encountered this situation before, and when he performed well, such as hitting the enemy with continuous arrows, and turning the danger into a one-to-many melee battle, the other Great Chu soldiers around him would also applaud.

And this will obviously increase his prestige in the army, which will be good for the next battle.

Soon, the Beidi barbarians began to attack the city.

Zhao Haiping immediately threw his bow and arrows aside, drew his saber from his waist, and rushed directly towards the first Beidi barbarian soldier to climb the city!

This brute has a fierce face, and the muscles on his body look quite developed, obviously those who can rush to the forefront in this kind of siege must be elite, generally called "first warriors" and the like.

On the other hand, Zhao Haiping, his small body is a little weaker, among these soldiers in Da Chu, he is obviously not an elite, and rushing forward is really a bit of a death.

However, just when the other soldiers felt that he was going to send it, Zhao Haiping coldly dodged and flashed the brute's scimitar with a fairly extreme identity, and the long knife slashed from the bottom to the top, cutting directly from the right side of the brute, cutting through the throat!

Immediately afterwards, more brute soldiers began to ascend to the top of the city, and Zhao Haiping did not stop for a moment, killing while advancing towards the position where the general was.

On the one hand, it is to rush to the aid of the general and prevent the defeat of the general after being killed, and on the other hand, it is also to show his face in front of the general.

Show your face more, and you can hope to be promoted to deputy general!

In the eyes of others, Zhao Haiping can be described as extremely dangerous along the way, his fighting style is all lifeless, often rushing into the pile of three or four barbarians, but every time he can get out quite extremely, and even kill one or two people back.

Before Zhao Haiping arrived in front of General Geng Zhong, he had already attracted the general's attention.

"There are still such warriors in our army?" General Geng Zhong couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

The first phase of the battle soon ended, and Beidi withdrew.

Zhao Haiping was already covered in blood, the knife was curled, and there were several wounds on his body.

But for him, this is nothing, the pain in the game is lowered, not to mention that he has died countless times, and he has seen all kinds of big scenes, and this small injury basically does not affect his judgment.

There is a certain element of luck in this clearance, after all, the talent of licking blood from the knife edge is not invincible, but it just makes it easier for him to play at a super level in close-quarters white-knuckle battles, damn it or die.

But in terms of results, the impression left by Zhao Haiping on these Great Chu soldiers can be called brave!

A person kills all sides in the city, often with more than one enemy, and several times he feels that he is about to die, but he can always save the day, and exchange a small injury on his body for the life of a Beidi barbarian.

Probably this is the legendary "Three Armies of the Brave Champion"!

Zhao Haiping's performance not only involved a large number of brute soldiers, so that other Dachu soldiers could fight more comfortably, but most importantly, it also greatly boosted morale, making it more suspenseful to win this battle.

But Zhao Haiping knows that the second stage is more important.

Because in the first stage, as long as he can survive and not die, he can basically enter the second stage. But the second phase is not so simple.

The clouds dispersed, and the surrounding scene changed.

The surrounding soldiers all turned into their forties, and the equipment on the city wall also turned into a state of disrepair.

But as Zhao Haiping predicted, his identity has really changed!

Before, he was just a very ordinary creep, but now he is wearing well-dressed armor, which is obviously different from before.

Seeing Zhao Haiping, the soldiers saluted one after another.

Obviously, he is now a lieutenant, thanks to his excellent performance in the first stage.

Zhao Haiping didn't want to delay for a moment, and immediately walked quickly in the direction where General Geng Zhong was.

The two guards saw Zhao Haiping, but this time they didn't dare to stop him, they just saluted and let him go directly.

General Geng Zhong was looking down at a map, saw Zhao Haiping coming, and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Zhao Haiping decided to go straight in: "General, the soldiers are hungry and thirsty, and the barbarians are about to attack the city, so we can't wait any longer." The seventh well must be dug at once! ”

General Geng Zhong was a little surprised, looked up at him, and then lowered his head again.

"The barbarian siege is imminent, and it is not appropriate to spend manpower digging wells. What's more, none of the six wells came out of the water, probably because of the death of the heavens, I ......"

Zhao Haiping hurriedly stepped forward with a resolute attitude: "General, don't think like this!"

"In the past, the first emperor went out to Beidi to be trapped, drew his sword and stabbed the mountain and the flying spring gushed out, which shows that my Great Chu is destined to return, how can it be 'Heaven will kill me'?

"General, the Beidi barbarian soldiers are approaching the city, and they are menacing, and if it is not for special means, this battle will almost be lost. According to the general's opinion, this seventh well must be dug! ”

When Zhao Haiping said this, he was sincere and full of anger.

Although there is an element of performance in this, Zhao Haiping has fought so many battles and died so many times with these soldiers, and he has already substituted himself into the role, so his feelings are sincere.

General Geng Zhong seemed to be somewhat moved by him.

Zhao Haiping's remarks had two key points: the first was to bring out the legend of the first emperor and build confidence, and the second was to analyze the current battlefield situation, emphasizing that "digging a well" was the only possible means to reverse the tide of the war.

General Geng Zhong paced back and forth two steps: "Then in your opinion, where should this seventh well be dug?" ”

Zhao Haiping glanced at the map in front of General Geng Zhong and found that many locations had been marked on it, which should be the previous six wells.

And almost all of these locations are concentrated in the northwest of the city.

Zhao Haiping had already done his homework in advance, and was in a position near Nanduntai: "General, dig here!" ”

Geng Zhong couldn't help frowning slightly: "Oh? But it's far from the stream to the northwest, so how can you be sure there must be water? ”

Zhao Haiping said: "General, there is no other place in the city to dig wells, and the matter has come to this point, so we can only try." ”

General Geng Zhong lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Zhao Haiping hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Also, general, I hope you can give the order to kill a few military horses." ”

General Geng Zhong couldn't help frowning, and a cold light appeared in his eyes: "Kill horses? ”

Zhao Haiping nodded: "Yes!" ”

He had already expected such a reaction from the general, but in order to clear the customs, he had to stick to his opinion.

These ancients had a deep affection for military horses, and having a horse meant that they could break through.

Therefore, even if they are hungry and thirsty, and reduced to the point of squeezing horse dung, these people have no intention of killing horses.

Because military horses are not only partners in common battles, but also the last guarantee for breaking through.

There are not many military horses in the city, and once the horses are killed, it means that the possibility of breaking through is basically cut off, which means that everyone has to be trapped in the lonely city.

But Zhao Haiping knows very well that there is only one solution to the current dilemma!
