[69 Book Bar - www.] They don't know that I did have this idea just now. But I also know that in my current state, I can't run fast. If I go to the snake camp, I will simply die.
General Shen, I will definitely let you come back.
I silently made this decision.
At this time, I heard Lei Gu riding a horse and shouting outside: "Marquis Wu has ordered that the entire army seal their swords. The remaining residents of the city must gather at the People's Square within three days. The Lord guarantees your safety. If there is another attack after the deadline, Those who cannot hide will be killed without mercy."
He shouted all the way here and all the way out again.
Hearing his words, I breathed a long sigh of relief. The massacre of the city ended early, and Marquis Wu did not dare to make enemies internally or externally at this time. Although it was probably just an expedient measure by Marquis Wu, I felt relieved.
I wonder how many people are left in the city? If you don't count the captive craftsmen and women, there may be less than 100,000 people. But no matter what, these 100,000 people can finally escape the butcher's knife and save a life.
Back at the top of the city, the entire army was still intensifying the renovation of the fortifications, but the snakemen had not launched an attack yet. But we all knew that it was like the calm before a storm, and the snakemen could attack at any time. Marquis Wu ordered the four gates to be stationed The armies stepped up their efforts to repair the city's defenses. Although the scale of today's battle was not large, even Marquis Wu must have lost confidence.
All armies are stepping up their renovation work, and the forward battalion is no exception. Two thousand soldiers have been transferred from the north gate and west gate. Since there is no enemy situation yet and Lu Jingyu is not around, the east gate is now commanded by Bu Wu, deputy general of the left army. Bu Wu is that He is a very cautious person, not good at direct attack and defense, but very good at mobilizing troops. Marquis Wu temporarily transferred 10,000 soldiers from the left to guard the south gate. Now, the number of Chinese soldiers has reached more than 50,000, which can be said to be half of the entire army. Most of them were at the south gate. Since the main attack was on the south gate when the city was broken, although the Republican army in the city was not the largest, they defended it extremely tenaciously. When we attacked, I broke down the city gate with my own hands, and the south gate was damaged among the four gates. It's the most serious. Now the craftsmen in the transport camp are working hard to repair the door.
Qi Lie moved a big chair for me and prevented me from building the city myself. I sat on the top of the city and watched them busy. The medical officer's methods were really brilliant. Now I don't feel any pain at all. It's just that the wound is a little numb. Marquis Wu's temporary camp is set up in the tenth battalion. Marquis Wu is now sitting on a tall armchair, supervising the formation, with his two personal soldiers standing behind him.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the soldiers outside the city who were repairing the damaged parts of the city wall. Wu Hou stood up suddenly and shouted: "What's the matter?"
Someone shouted from the side: "Oh no, they are attacking!" The surrounding area suddenly became noisy. I looked into the distance, and sure enough, in the Snake Man's formation, another cloud of dust was raised. Looking from a distance, , I don’t know how many soldiers came to kill them.
Marquis Wu said loudly: "Send the order and prepare to fight!"
He sat back on the chair and did not move. At this time, Lei Gu had jumped on his horse on the top of the city and shouted as he ran: "Soldiers, don't panic, the enemy is coming to attack the city, everyone is ready to fight."
The Snake Man's attack was certainly expected by Marquis Wu, so he shouldn't panic. I looked at the city gate. There was a layer of wooden boards nailed tightly on both sides of the gate. The gate was actually thicker. Half. In fact, this can only make people feel a little safer. If the snake man has rushed to the city gate, then even the iron gate is useless.
Not long after, almost all the soldiers outside the city had just returned to the city, and the first batch of snake soldiers had approached the moat. Those snake soldiers were originally sitting in the car, but when they were still dozens of steps away from the moat, they got out of the car one after another. They all got out of the car.
It also swims like a snake on the ground, but not very fast.
At this time, Qi Lie said: "General, you go down to the city first, we will support you here."
I stood up and said: "There is no reason to retreat when a war is coming."
Qi Lie said: "But your injury..."
I moved my arms and said, "It's okay."
There are still seven commanders of the fifth battalion, but there are only about fifty people in total, and there is no such organization as "Shi" now. I took a long gun from the weapons rack next to it. This gun is smaller than the one I am used to.
The tip of the gun is smaller and is generally easier to use.
Below the city, the vanguard of the snake men had reached the moat but stopped moving forward.
Qi Lie whispered behind me: "What are they going to do?"
I shook my head and said: "Don't worry about what they are going to do, prepare to fight."
At this time, a shout suddenly broke out from the snake army. I really didn’t expect that the snake people would have such a voice. Then, all the snake people rushed over. From the top of the city, there were everywhere outside the south gate, like
It's a green flood.
I grabbed the gun tightly and shouted: "Xiao Lie, bring me my sun-piercing bow!"
Qi Lie handed me the sun-piercing bow, and I took out an arrow from the quiver on my back and shouted: "Everyone, prepare to release the arrows as soon as they reach the moat!"
In fact, without my order, all the 20,000 people at the top of the city had raised their bows and arrows. I looked to the side and saw that after the morning battle, none of Tan Qing's ten people died.
All the soldiers were sharp archers, which reassured me.
At this time, the snake men had already entered the water one after another. The snake men seemed to be born with water skills. Before I finished speaking, several snake men swam across the moat very quickly and approached the city gate. I aimed at the snake man in the front and
The arrows shot away. At this time, as if receiving an order, arrows rained down from the top of the city. Those snake men must not have expected that our movements would be so uniform. Some of them waved their swords and guns.
It seemed that they were trying to block it, but how could they stop it? The bodies of the snake men who came ashore were suddenly covered with arrows, and many of the snake men in the river were also hit by arrows. I saw that the snake men in the river had quickly returned.
When we reached the south bank, we took a few dozen steps back, seemingly in shock. Dozens of snake-man corpses were left in the river.
The city leaders cheered. This time, no one of us was harmed, but dozens of snakemen died. It can really be considered a victory.
But I'm not that optimistic. When we went on the expedition, the supply camp brought a million arrows. After all the sieges, although they were replenished from time to time, half of them were lost. We just sent out thousands of arrows, but those snake men
They are extremely stubborn, and those who have not hit their vital points will pull out the arrows after returning to the shore, but nothing seems to have happened. According to this calculation, our 500,000 arrows can only hurt one or two thousand of them at most. What’s more, just now,
It caught the snake man off guard, and it may not be so effective again in the future.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder. Maybe the snake people's reckless attack just now was just to consume our arrows. Although those snake people look extremely stupid, they may not have such an intention.
.
I turned around and said: "The next time the snake people attack, everyone must be careful and be sure to aim before shooting."
However, the snake people did not attack again, but saw the big flag waved, and the group of snake people slowly retreated.
Even though the snake-man army is unorganized, anyone who sees this squirming army will feel very frightened. We are all a little puzzled. I also thought that the snake-man is just a kind of thing, just don't want to die.
They were attacking on the ground, but it turned out that they knew how to advance and retreat, and seemed to be very familiar with the art of war. However, this round of attack was probably tentative. There were not many snakemen attacking, only about five thousand.
Who are the people who train this snake army? Are they in the snake army?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was already a burst of cheers from the top of the city.
