"Victory!" Along with a burst of cheers, the dark flag of the Qin army was planted on the archery tower in Waihuang Xicheng. Under the fire of bows and crossbows, the archery tower was covered with arrow feathers, as if it had suddenly sprouted countless arrows.
feather.
Heifu and his men were as scarred as the arrow tower, but they were in high spirits, regardless of the pain of their wounds, and held their weapons high to celebrate their victory in capturing the city.
It turned out that just now, as Heifu's camp climbed to the top of the city and gained a firm foothold, he firmly guarded the battlements with bamboo ladders with long soldiers in front and powerful crossbows in the back, allowing the follow-up troops to arrive one after another.
Climb the city.
There were more and more black-robed Qin soldiers at the top of the city, which reversed the offensive and defensive situation.
The main force defending the city is the light knights raised by the Waihuang Order. These people have not received special military training. They only rely on temporary courage and no order to fight. It is okay to fight alone, but when encountering this kind of attack and defending the city, they will be at a disadvantage.
At that time, it was difficult to hold on. The Qin people attacked like tigers climbing up the mountain, which put huge pressure on them, and the light knights began to lose gradually.
This is especially true for those foreigners who were temporarily recruited. They can only wave the flag and shout, and fight against the wind.
When the Qin soldiers slowly began to press on the city, their invincible momentum caused many light-hearted civilians who were not very determined to start to avoid giving way. Seeing more and more people killed in battle, the Qin army seemed to be the incarnation of death, step by step
Pressing on them, breaking the tight strings of this group of people.
One after another, the defenders began to turn around and run away. They had no way out, so they jumped off the three-foot-high city wall. Some accidentally broke their feet, but more people got up immediately and continued running.
At this time, the Wei people who came to support from the south of the city also arrived, and there were hundreds of them. They were about to drive the Qin soldiers out of the city, but first saw their panicked companions jumping over the wall crazily and running towards this side, and they were shocked.
.
They were not clear about the situation on the west wall of the city. Looking at the situation in front of them, they thought that the city had been defeated. The human instinct of survival made them lose the courage to continue to die for the sect leader. First one, then ten, then a hundred,
More and more light warriors stopped fighting and began to flee into the city.
Among them, the one who ran the fastest and earliest was the young man with a thick beard who glanced at the black man when he just climbed to the top of the city.
Heifu remembered that he was about thirty years old, with unkempt hair in a bun, wearing short back clothes, and holding a two-foot sword. He was a typical knight-errant swordsman. When he saw Heifu coming to the city, the knight raised his sword as if to fight the enemy.
Heifu was still on guard against him.
Unexpectedly, this big man suddenly shouted "Protect Mr. Zhang!" and then he flew like flying through the chaotic battlefield at the head of the city and disappeared. His movements were so skillful, as if he had rehearsed them countless times in his mind.
Heifu was dumbfounded...
Probably, he was the first light knight to jump off the city wall and escape, and he set an example for those behind him.
After the battle, Hei Fu found out that the foreigner, Zhang Er, was still on the south wall of the city!
Heifu was immediately speechless.
So, how should we evaluate that light chivalrous man with a beautiful beard? Call him cowardly. He has obviously been holding on to the city for a long time, and he even killed a Qin soldier who came to the camp first.
Call him brave, but when this man saw something bad, he immediately ran away, shouting such slogans, and others thought he was really going to protect the master.
"He is a smart man, but his style is really bachelorish." Heifu could only conclude this way in the end,
Heifu quickly forgot about the light knight. After the battle came to an end, he began to check the casualties in his camp.
…
On the city wall that had just passed the fierce battle, there was a strong smell of blood floating in the slightly humid air in the early morning. In addition, there was also a hint of burnt smell, and even the smell of feces and urine. The three smells were mixed together, making people feel...
To vomit...
Heifu did not vomit, however. From the bloody battle in the morning to the end, he witnessed death and blood. His sword cut off two arms and cut off a head. The blade was already chipped and there were traces of blood on it.
The residual blood that cannot be wiped dry.
Not counting Chen Liu's smooth battle, this was the first time that Heifu truly experienced the cruelty of ancient war in person. There was no blood boiling, and he was a little shocked, but mostly numb.
Fortunately, he was lucky. He only had some skin scratches during the battle and was not seriously injured.
But those Qin soldiers who climbed to the top of the city first were not so lucky.
The chief of the first settlement was not dead. He was leaning on the wall at the moment, with his eyes closed weakly. In addition to the large and small blade wounds on his body, sharp arrows directly penetrated his left palm, and in the rough right hand
There was a bloody wound on his body, but the captain still held the sword tightly in his right hand, as if he could continue to fight.
Although the commander's men suffered heavy casualties, with less than ten of the fifty men left. However, the military law is relatively loose for these "those who are the first to enter the battle". It stipulates that their camp only needs to be the first to attack the city during the siege.
, even if there is a "surplus theory", fifty people can be promoted to the first level of nobility, and those who die in battle can still inherit the title by their descendants...
This is also the reason why some people are willing to be the first to get into the battle despite knowing the danger. The greater the risk, the greater the benefit. For the Qin family, it is undoubtedly worthwhile to use one's life to win titles for their descendants.
.
Military merit is not the result of one person in one moment, but the legacy of a family for three generations.
Heifu cherished his life, and of course he would not choose such a tragic upgrade method, but he respected the soldiers who were trapped in the battle, and after bowing to the village chief, he also asked his own people to help collect the corpses.
Speaking of which, the casualties in their camp were actually quite large. Ji Ying, Li Xian and others all suffered casualties, but they were all minor injuries. What worried Heifu the most was the Dongmen Leopard.
Just now, this guy relied on his thick armor, almost one against ten, and made a great contribution to their climb to the top of the city. However, after the battle, Heifu could not find him...
At this moment, the narrow city wall has been blocked by corpses scattered here and there, including young knights and civilians, as well as Qin soldiers. It is a bit scary at first glance, and the randomly discarded weapons make it difficult to move on the city wall. Hei Fu is struggling in the city.
He moved his head, turning over the prone corpses one by one, looking at the bloody faces one by one, looking for the surviving men.
"A Bao... is here!" Finally, Xiao Tao shouted, and Heifu and others hurried over and were stunned.
The East Gate Leopard was lying in a pile of corpses. When it was dug out, it was found that its body was soaked in blood and its leather armor was in tatters.
Heifu hurriedly called Ji Ying and Gong Ao, and together they moved the body away, dragged the Dongmen Leopard out, and checked for pulse. Fortunately, he was still alive!
Heifu quickly asked Bu Cheng to come and see the East Gate Leopard, because Bu Cheng once said that he knew some medical skills...
After a hurried examination, Bu Cheng told Heifu, sweating profusely, that Dongmen Leopard had a gash on his thigh, and there were seven or eight wounds on his back, shoulders, and arms. The blood kept leaking out, almost
He was dyed into a bloody man!" He must be sent to the camp for medical treatment as soon as possible, otherwise his life will not be saved!"
As soon as Bu Cheng said this, everyone in Huyang Pavilion who was friendly with Dongmen Leopard immediately changed their colors.
"Didn't you brag that you can not only do divination but also have medical skills?" Heifu's expression changed and he grabbed the divination collar and said.
"I have only learned some witch doctor skills and know some herbal medicines. In the military, we don't know how to treat gold wound wounds. We need a specialized gold wound doctor!" Bu Cheng explained quickly, but Heifu had no time to listen to his nonsense.
.
He pushed Bu Cheng away and rolled up his sleeves: "Then I'll do it myself!"
Bu Cheng murmured: "Captain, can you deal with the golden wound? This is not a fool's errand. It's better to carry it down to the city first."
Of course Heifu knows how to do it. In his previous life in the police academy, he at least learned some battlefield emergency first aid. Dongmen Leopard is a symptom of massive bleeding in the limbs. The large blood vessels have been damaged. It must be dealt with immediately without delay! Otherwise, there is a risk of life.
worry!
Although Dongmen Leopard is reckless, he is brave and loyal in battle. From Huyang Pavilion to the army, he has always been Heifu's right-hand man.
What's more, there is a newborn child in his family who is waiting for his father's glorious return. In the past few months, Dongmen Bao has been talking about his "son" every day for the past few months...
So no matter what, Heifu had to quickly remember the battlefield emergency rescue that he had almost forgotten, and he must save the life of Dongmen Leopard!
He took a deep breath and instructed Ji Ying and others: "You guys, take off your belt immediately!"
