In the evening, the dilapidated Yezi banner of Huling Pass flew with the breeze.

Under the banner, there were two soldiers, one old and one young.

The older ones are the captains, and the younger ones are the recruits who have just joined the army this year.

Another day of life-and-death offensive and defensive battles has passed.

I don't know how many brothers and how many colleagues can't stand up anymore.

There are 50,000 defenders in Huling Pass, and in addition to the local county troops that have come to support one after another, there are now 100,000 people in Huling Pass.

The 250,000 Qi troops have been attacking Huling Pass one after another in the past few days, as if they are going to break people's nerves.

Even at some times, the soldiers in the Huling Pass would not be left idle at night, and the Qi Light Cavalry would fire rockets at the head of the Huling Pass in groups to attack and harass.

The young armorer leaned against the city and sighed, looking up at the sky.

Seeing his appearance, Wu Chang smiled and said: "Why, after going to the battlefield, you know how terrible the battlefield is, next time you kid don't brag to me about what to be a soldier just to fight, how peaceful the world is, what kind of war to fight, if one day I don't have to fight, I can also retire from the army and go home to ask my wife and have children, where are I willing to suffer this crime in this place." ”

The young armor soldier had fine skin and tender flesh, and the old captain remembered that when this person first came, he was still wearing silk on his body, and he didn't need to think about it to know which family it should be, and he didn't know what kind of wind he smoked and ran to the border.

In the past, the old Wu Chang was reluctant to deal with this handsome weak scholar, but later, when he sent troops to suppress the bandits at Huling Pass twice, the young man cut off the heads of those bandits without even blinking his eyes, which also made the old Wu Chang a little impressed.

"The world is also peaceful. ”

The young soldier smiled, took off the water bladder from his waist and drank a saliva, then handed the water bladder to Wu Chang, and said: "Who in this world doesn't like the peace of the world, and who wants to fight and die on the battlefield, but the world is such a world, and the world is just such a world, what if you don't fight, are you waiting to be beaten?"

"By the way, Captain Wu, I don't seem to have heard you mention why you came to join the army. ”

"Me?"

Commander Wu took a sip of water and returned the water bladder to the young soldier, and said: "The reason why I came to be a soldier is because my father and mother are dead, and there is nothing in the house, so I want to find a place to eat, so I came, who knows that I will stay in the barracks for so long." ”

The Ye people are fierce, the Ye people are martial, and they are even called Ye and barbarians by the princes and countries behind their backs, which means that the Ye people are unreasonable, and they will fight if they disagree.

Even among the princes and countries, it is still rumored that the Ye people are a group of uncivilized Ye people, which makes the Ye people have a strange image in the hearts of the people of the princes and countries.

The young armor soldier looked up at the sky and asked, "Captain Wu, do you think we will live like this tomorrow?"

"Of course I will live......"

Wu Chang slowly stood up, looked up at the city, and said with a smile: "Besides, even if I die, I still die in my hometown, I don't know how lucky I am compared to those robes who died in other places." ”

The old captain has been in the army for more than ten years, and he doesn't know how many soldiers have come out of his army, he only thinks that he has no great skills, and what he can hand over to his sergeants is only some life skills, but these are also taught to him by the previous captain.

The barracks is such a place, where groups of people come one after another, groups of people leave one after another, and the barracks are beaten with iron.

It's like a journey of life, I don't know how many people will survive this journey, and I don't know how many people will be able to get what they want in this journey.

But in such a troubled era, the vast majority of people on this journey did not survive, nor did they get what they wanted.

Wu Chang was very glad that he had been able to live until now, and he was also very glad that he did not die on the battlefield of Qi State.

It seems that from the moment that person appeared and brought back the corpses of those warriors, the old Wu Chang, who was once greedy for life and afraid of death, actually gave birth to the belief of coexisting and dying with Huling Pass and Paoze.

Anyway, if you die, you will have a robe to collect your body, and some people will remember you because you died fighting for the country.

Looking at the high-spirited appearance of the old Wu Chang, the young soldier smiled and said: "Wu Chang, you must not die, I promised you, I want you to enjoy the happiness, you have been a bachelor for a lifetime, and when the time comes, we will go to the battlefield, you say who you have a crush, I will help you grab it." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, the old Wu Chang looked up and laughed, sat on the ground, and said: "It's enough to have you, but after all, we are soldiers, we can't harm the people, I'm in my forties this year, don't harm other people's little girls, I don't want to pass on the lineage, I just want to wait for the burial, I can have you, a little rabbit cub, toast me to a glass of wine." ”

"Don't say toast you, even if it's to carry your coffin, but the premise is that I can survive. ”

These words still made the old Wu Chang feel nostalgic, raised his hand and patted the young soldier's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you walk off the battlefield alive." ”

Early the next morning, the siege battle began again, and the Qi soldiers who had lined up the battle formation pushed all kinds of siege equipment to Huling Pass.

It is said that there are more than 10,000 people who are boundless, and more than 100,000 people are pulling the ground, this time the Qi army dispatched 50,000 people at once, with 30,000 as the main siege force, and the remaining 20,000 people are in the back to fill the vacancy at any time.

The strategy of Dong Haoyu, the commander of the Qi army, is very obvious, that is, to use the shortest time and not the cost of casualties to maximize the consumption of the living force of Huling Pass.

Now he has asked the capital for more troops, and the capital has also agreed to this request, sending 50,000 central troops, and Ling Run's son is on the way to come.

Five people are in the army, ten people are in the army, 100 people are in the column, 1,000 people are in the array, 3,000 people can set up a battalion number, 10,000 people are the corps, 100,000 people are the corps, and more than 100,000 people are the group army.

200,000 people is twenty corps, and every day of the siege, Dong Haoyu will use a few corps that have not participated in the siege before, so that the rest can be repaired.

It is true that the Huling Pass is wide and the city is high, but it is natural to pay more troops in the defense of the city, and if you want to completely defend the city wall of Huling Pass, at least 20,000 people must be on the city wall at the same time.

After several days of fierce fighting, the two sides suffered casualties but did not reach the point of a sea of corpses and blood.

But today is different, Dong Haoyu is ready to move the real chapter.

Today's Qi army's engineering method can be said to be all-encompassing, Dong Haoyu organized a light cavalry army equipped with bows and arrows, and inserted needles in the situation of occupying stalemate, so that these light cavalry could use bows and arrows to use the speed of war horses to maximize the killing of the Ye army on the city wall.

After the Qi army arrived at the foot of Huling Pass, those sword and shield men made a gap in the shield array, and rushed out one or several ape-like people from it, taking the lead in climbing the ladder and quickly ascending to the top of the city.

These people are all Dong Haoyu's carefully selected warriors who dare to die, and there are many reckless men on the rivers and lakes, these people have good physical fitness, and they are much stronger than ordinary soldiers in terms of fighting skills.

Dong Haoyu listened to the front-line military information from the letter horse, and from his mouth he did not hurry out of the orders to bring back to the front line, although he has defined this battle today as a costly attack, but the siege method is not rigid and rigid.

If the defending side changes the defense, Dong Haoyu will also let the commander who has reached the limit of soldiers and horses withdrawn, as for the specific limit, in Dong Haoyu's heart, the initial stage of the siege is temporarily set at 200 dead and wounded, and when the 20,000 foot soldiers led by the twenty thousand commanders have experienced a wave of siege, the second round will increase to 300 people.

If he doesn't cross the line, whoever leads the generals is, even if it is the royal nobles, he has to continue to bite the bullet, if he crosses the line, no matter how much he wants to fight to the death, he has to obediently withdraw.

Dong Haoyu didn't care how those centurions didn't understand, and he didn't bother to explain to them.

Dong Haoyu has already asked the titular coach Dou Jiankai to come to the power of the generals before the battle, who is not convinced, has the ability to use his own head to disobey the military order.

Thirty former commanders have seen the scenery of the city wall at close range, and two of them are almost about to successfully stand on the head of the city, one of them was stabbed down by seven or eight iron guns, smashed the corpse pile, and fell into a pile of meat, and when he got up, he saw that there were seven or eight arrows stuck straight into the corpse not far from his feet.

Another man had just stood at the head of the city, and had even cut off several spear heads with his sword, and was about to step in, but he was shot in the ribs by a stray arrow at a tricky angle, and when he staggered down, an oncoming slap was slapped on the shoulder, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment, and rolled down, and five or six feathered arrows were swished down behind him.

At this moment, the siege battle is at a stalemate, the shouts of killing are shaking the sky, and the rain of arrows is everywhere on the battlefield.

Nanchengtou was holding a clapper stick to slap those Ye soldiers who had climbed up the ladder to the top of the city, and they were already in a hurry.

One after another, the ladders were erected, and the Qi army that swarmed up was like ants.

At this time, the rolling wood and stones on the city wall have come in handy, large and small stones, rolling wood continue to fall, the Qi soldiers who climbed the ladder were hit by it from time to time, screaming and falling down the ladder, after landing on the ground, it was too late to call for help, and was trampled into meat by the companions who rushed up later.

On the battlefield, life seems so insignificant, and the big living person who was alive just now is likely to turn into a bloody corpse in the blink of an eye.

The madness of the momentum of the Qi sergeant's offensive today is stimulating the nerves of every Ye sergeant, including the main general.

Seeing that the arrow array, rolling logs, and stones could not stop the Qi army's charge, and even the Qi army had already begun to climb the city, Ye Bian raised the order flag again, ready to give the order to pour fire oil.

But at this time, a young soldier standing beside Ye Bian suddenly spoke, grabbed his wrist holding the command flag, and said at the same time: "General Ye, wait a minute." ”
