The rain did not stop because of the night, but became heavier and heavier, and the thickened Ba city wall formed a small doorway at the gate, and at this time there were many people crowded inside, resting while sheltering from the rain, one of them sat on the edge of the doorway covered in blood, snoring and sleeping, and the soldiers around him were also careful not to disturb him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This caution comes from the respect he has earned in the battles of the day, and in the eyes of others, he is a true hero, and his name is Asuka.

Asuka is not from the Ba tribe, but from a once neutral tribe, the Wen tribe. He had a very ordinary life in this era, as the son of a hunter, he got his name because his father caught a bird in a trap on the day he was born, and when he grew up, he naturally became a hunter.

After his tribe was broken by the Jiuxi army, he lost all his relatives and became a prisoner after being wounded in battle. Later, he happened to encounter the envoy sent by the Ba tribe to Jiuxi to inquire about the situation in the prisoner camp, so he escaped with the chaos, and when he fled, he happened to meet a Ba hunter, so he was brought to the meeting point and became a member of the fugitive army led by Ou at that time, and finally participated in the ambush of the pursuers in the ruins of the Wen people.

It was in this battle that he fought bravely and played a great role in blocking the opponent's retreat, making contributions to the final encirclement and annihilation of the pursuers, and also left a deep impression on the gull who led the team at that time. Later, when the Hunters team was formed, Gull recommended him to Lo.

Although it is not from a subordinate tribe of the Ba tribe, the Wen tribe has been defeated, and the whole clan has become a slave of the Jiuxi tribe, and Asuka has lost all his relatives and has a grudge against Jiuxi, plus it was recommended by the gull, so Luo not only accepted him, but also let him take a very important position: the city gate official responsible for guarding the gate.

The soldiers of the Ba tribe are all from various tribes, and there is no subordinate relationship between them, and the soldiers are all led by people with prestige in their own tribes, and there is no formal establishment. The Hunter Team is different, as the team with the best equipment and the highest quality of soldiers of the Ba ethnic group, it has a fairly formal organization at the beginning of its formation.

Of course, this organization is also Zheng Jun's masterpiece, but it doesn't need to be too complicated at this time. Zheng Jun simply set up five people as a team, and another team leader, two groups as a team, one of the two team leaders is the captain part-time, and the other is the vice captain. Five such teams are organized into one song, and there is a special team leader, and five tithes are a song, and now the hunter team has two songs, with a total of six hundred people.

One of the hunters, Qu Youluo, was personally led by Qu Youluo and concentrated on the urn city of the gate, and Asuka was one of the chiefs, commanding sixty people who were responsible for guarding the gate. The other bend was led by the gull, scattered across the walls to prevent the minotaurs from coming up again.

Each soldier of the Hunters was armed with a shield and a stone spear, as well as bows and arrows, and later a thickened leather garment, almost leather armor. Such equipment is really armed to the extreme in this era.

In the previous afternoon battle, he first organized a group of archers to concentrate on shooting outside the door when the gate was broken, and then took the lead and fought on the front line, he used his shield to protect himself and died in the center of the hole, leading others to poke and poke at the Jiuxi people outside the door.

His blood was both that of his enemies and his own, and by his skill and luck he did not know where it came from he was in the end unscathed, and by virtue of this victory, he was recognized by his men, and now he could quietly enjoy his own peace.

Asuka slept well, and the next morning seemed more refreshed, the Nine Creek Clan's attack today was still no different from yesterday afternoon, and it didn't take long for the other party's crash to come from the gate again.

The strength of the rebuilt gate was also greatly reduced, and after about two dozen hits, the hole reappeared. Asuka did not directly organize the shooters to shoot this time, but made them ready behind the shield. Sure enough, the Jiuxi clan learned from them to organize a shooting at this time, but now that the birds are prepared, this time the shooting will not be fruitful. These Nine Creek shooters were shot down quite a bit by the counterattack organized by Asuka Hou.

However, it was possible to shoot at each other for a while, and then it became a situation where they poked each other through holes. In the end, there was no more poking at each other, and it became a wrestling force between the two sides.

The Jiuxi clan was divided into several teams and took turns to attack, while Asuka could also get support from other groups and rotated to defend. Neither side was able to achieve much success, except that in the afternoon the hole in the gate was widened a little wider.

As more and more wounded were treated in Zheng Jun's hospital, and even the seriously wounded in the earliest days had recovered, these vivid examples brought considerable comfort to the soldiers.

Because of such medical conditions, after guarding the gate for a day and a half, even though there were only 39 people left in Asuka and more than 1/3 of the battle losses, everyone still maintained a high fighting spirit.

You must know that in modern society, according to the standards of the United States, the number one military power at that time, more than 10 percent of a unit's battle losses must be appropriately repaired, and more than 30 percent must be pulled down to supplement and adjust; more than 60 percent is considered to be unacceptable, and it must be repaired in the rear for a long time.

Although Asuka is more resilient than the American army in later generations, and can still maintain a considerable fighting spirit at this time, but the combat power is indeed weakened, but at this time there are a large number of wounded everywhere, Zheng Jun's "hospital" has nearly 700 people of all kinds of light and serious patients, counting those who died, and now the strength of the Ba tribe has dropped to 2,000 people.

Although it is not serious enough to run out of manpower, there is no way to find a suitable force to replace Asuka.

On this night, Asuka dreamed again of the good old days, of his father, his mother, his brother, his wife and children.

On the third day of the battle, almost as soon as Asuka felt the hardship, the strength of the gate had almost been reduced to the extreme, and it only took two hits to break a big hole again, but fortunately, Luo also knew that the defense of the gate was very critical, and he supported two in time.

With the support of the two of them, Asuka managed to hold the line, but the gate was almost useless, and the two sides could almost be said to be squeezing each other through a plank.

It didn't take long for the birds to hear the crunching moans coming from both sides of the gate. The gate was about to collapse, and the other side also knew about the situation, and saw that several minotaurs were preparing to attack.

"The gate can't be guarded, we have to make everyone retreat to the second gate," Asuka thought flashed through his mind.

The city of the Ba people is a boxy square, not too big, and there is no passage on the wall inside, and it is necessary to exit through the second gate. The second gate of such an urn city is more difficult to breach than the first gate, because the soldiers on the wall can attack the enemy attacking the second gate from all directions.

"Retreat! The gate is gone! Retreat to the second gate!"

Asuka shouted loudly, and the other two reinforcements immediately began to retreat, but Asuka did not retreat, and his soldiers did not move at all.

They knew that someone had to stay behind to block the enemy at this time, otherwise the unguarded gate would open at once, and the other party would chase after them, and it would be very likely that they would take the second gate directly.

Asuka leaned against the gate, glanced at the soldier next to him, and smiled. The two sides of the gate were completely disconnected from the city wall, and they had to rely on their own strength to face the enemy directly.

The soldiers of Nine Creek immediately retreated, and then the four minotaurs rushed over, and the bird's shield was shattered in one fell swoop, and then a huge wooden rod passed through the fragments of the wooden shield and swept across his chest, and he felt his whole body fly.

"Is this what flying feels like?"

The thought only crossed his mind before he slammed into the wall of the cave beside him. I couldn't exert any strength in my whole body, and I couldn't feel the support of my bones in my chest, and it hurt badly when I moved. The smell of blood rushed straight up, and he couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of blood, soft to the side.

The shadows of his relatives gradually appeared in front of his eyes, and their figures were surrounded by white light, making their impression extremely sacred, and they were smiling and waving to him. The light they emitted grew stronger and stronger, gradually filling the whole world in his eyes.
