Ma Shuo didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the military village, he saw the most tragic battle so far. Before Ma Shuo arrived, although the two sides were constantly clashing, and even Qin Chuan, the five hundred chief, was seriously injured, the scale and intensity of the barbarian siege were not as strong as this time.

Judging from the posture, the barbarians seem to have the intention of not giving up until they reach their goal this time.

On the side of the border army, naturally they would not let the barbarians put the siege ladder on the outer wall of the military wall. Defending the city is a routine subject for the border army. Therefore, when the border soldiers saw the barbarians put up the ladder, they were not nervous at all.

Rolling wood, rolling stones, gold juice.

Counterattack methods emerge in an endless stream, until one by one the barbarians fall down from the ladder, some directly open the flesh, some have their heads smashed open, some have broken arms and legs, and some are lucky, falling on the corpses of their companions, but they are safe.

Not only that, but there is also a special push rod in the hands of the border soldiers, which is a kind of long wooden stick, and the top is specially designed, which can directly push the ladder out and push it far. The ladder that was pushed out would naturally fall down with the barbarians who had already climbed on it, causing a lot of casualties.

Of course, there were also lucky barbarians who finally climbed the ladder to the top of the wall. It's just that they just showed up, and they were greeted by spears that directly stabbed them into blood gourds.

However, there were also a few barbarians who were very brave and resourceful, evaded the attack of the border army, jumped directly on the battlement, and fought with the border army. I have to admit that in a one-on-one situation, the combat effectiveness of the border army is not superior.

So, as the barbarians broke into the battlements, casualties among the border troops began to appear rapidly.

In this case, as a five-hundred-long mark, it is necessary to make up for it quickly. Especially when this situation appeared in his defensive area, a team of pro-soldiers rushed out in time and used thunderous means to clean up those barbarians who broke through.

At the same time, Ma Shuo didn't have time to stand on the military village anymore and watch the battle. He had to go and help deal with the wounded soldiers, although, at this time, Sun Si had already started to get busy, and with Sun Si's level, he could now deal with most of the basic injuries. However, since Ma Shuo is here, there is no reason to watch from the wall.

Ma Shuo took the Meng family's uncle and nephew to the place where the wounded soldiers were, and after arriving here, Ma Shuo began to get busy. The uncle and nephew of the Meng family naturally changed from a guard to Ma Shuo's assistant, and gave Ma Shuo a start. Of course, this kind of thing is not the first time for the Meng family's uncle and nephew, so they are also familiar with it.

This attack of the barbarians is indeed very crazy. From the beginning of breakfast in the morning, the whole morning did not stop, until the third pole of the sun, the red sun was in the sky, a large number of casualties finally reduced the morale of the barbarians to a time when it could not be lower, and the barbarian commander was unwilling to give the order to retreat.

In this frantic attack, the barbarians ended up leaving behind nearly 2,000 corpses, not including minor injuries. In the end, the total number of barbarians who entered the battle exceeded 6,000.

Of course, the situation on the side of the border army is not optimistic, although relying on the military village, it occupies a geographical advantage. In the end, more than 300 soldiers were killed in the battle on the side of the border army, more than 100 were seriously injured and completely lost their combat effectiveness, and more than 300 or 400 were slightly injured to varying degrees. After this big battle, the total battle losses stationed on the side of the military village actually exceeded fifty percent.

With so many wounded soldiers, they can only be treated in line with the principle of giving priority first and then light. At the same time, Ma Shuo also arranged for someone to rush back to Zhenmanguan and asked all the other apprentices who stayed there to come over to help, and it was enough to have the original military attendant on duty there.

Rao is like this, by the time all the wounded soldiers have been dealt with, Ma Shuo is already as tired as a dead dog, and he doesn't even have the strength to eat.

After resting in a daze for nearly a day, Ma Shuo barely recovered. However, at this time, he got a not-so-very good news, and all the materials he had brought before had been used up. Anything else is good to say, only alcohol is the most troublesome, because alcohol can only be produced by himself.

"General Li, you send someone to Huangsha City with this slip and ask Fan Zeng to transfer alcohol! I explained the specific details in it. When Ma Shuo was asleep, Li Mu, who had received a large-scale attack on the military village by the barbarians, personally brought two thousand troops to reinforce this time. As the commander of the Shanzi Battalion and the first person responsible for the task of guarding the Huangsha Canyon this time, Li Mu must come over at this time to see the situation with his own eyes.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Ma Shuo directly found Li Mu as soon as possible. Of course, when it comes to alcohol, he can only find Li Mu, because the previous cooperation was discussed between him and Li Mu, and others are not qualified to participate in this matter.

Li Mu naturally made arrangements for the first time, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Li Mu again. This time, if it weren't for Ma Shuo and the apprentices he trained, the losses caused by the death of the wounded soldiers would have been very large, and the attrition problem of the Shanzi Battalion would have been really serious at that time. Now, after the rescue of Ma Shuo and others, first of all, those who were slightly injured will soon be able to return to the battlefield.

As for those who are seriously injured, although some of them will definitely be retired, there are still some who will still be valuable when the time comes, and they can go to train new soldiers. When the time comes, they will be the best instructors.

On the battlefield, when recruits have been wounded and seen blood, they are the most valuable veterans, because they know how to protect themselves better, and at the same time, the fear of death is greatly reduced. For soldiers, experience is accumulated through repeated battles and injuries again and again, and a veteran of a hundred battles can still be alive after a hundred battles, how can he be an ordinary person.

If someone is injured, naturally someone will make meritorious contributions. In the border army, the average soldier counted his exploits by the number of enemies he killed. Although the Great War was tragic, it was also the easiest time to establish meritorious service. Counting meritorious deeds, naturally there is a special marching Sima in charge.

This time in the big war, as a five-hundred-year-long mark, the merit is not small. Because as a five-hundred-hundred-chief, in addition to the enemies he personally killed, the combat records of the soldiers under his command will also be added to his head according to a certain proportion. Of course, if the attrition is severe, the corresponding merit will also be affected, and the deduction will be made in accordance with the relevant rules. This time, because of the timely rescue of Ma Shuo and others, the attrition situation was not as serious as in the past, and naturally, there were a lot more merits that fell on Mark.

Mark, as a five-hundred-hundred-year-old, also went directly to the war in the end this time. He alone killed more than twenty barbarians. Coupled with the conversion of the merits of the soldiers under his command, Mark's merits this time are enough to be promoted to the rank of commander.

The three-character battalion has a total of twenty thousand-man troops, which means that there are twenty thousand-strong commanders. However, at present, there are no vacancies in the positions of these twenty commanders, so for the time being, Mark can only enjoy the treatment of commanders, but he cannot immediately have his own thousand-man team.

However, out of gratitude to Ma Shuo, Li Mu gave Mark a special arrangement.

First of all, Mark's original 500 people are still under his control, which is considered the team of his 1,000-man team. Although, after these several major battles, Mark's 500 men were actually less than 300 left, and some of them had just returned from the camp of the wounded soldiers in Zhenmanguan.

Secondly, the thousand-man team directly numbered Mark was the twenty-first thousand-man team of the Shanzi Battalion, which had a separate thousand-man number and was independent from the third-thousand-man team. As for the 3,000-man team, because of the serious attrition this time, and after drawing out the Mark's headquarters, they must first withdraw to Zhenmanguan for rest and recuperation, and at the same time replenish the troops. Obviously, the 3,000-man team will not be able to go into battle again in a short time.

At this point, the left sledgehammer as a commander is still very depressed. However, in order to comfort Zuo Da Hammer, Li Mu promised that as long as the recruits arrived, he would definitely be the first to replenish the 3,000-man team. As for the shortage of Mark's 21st team, Li Mu let Mark be responsible for recruiting himself, and was not prepared to supplement him with new recruits.

This decision came as a surprise to Mark. However, Mark, this kid, didn't put forward any opinions, the general had an order, and he carried it out himself. Of course, Mark still told his eldest brother Ma Shuo about this decision.

"Do you recruit yourself? It's kind of interesting. Let me think. Ma Shuo heard Mark's report and thought meaningfully.
