Chapter 23 The Arrival of Reinforcements
When the rising sun drives away the darkness, a new day begins again. Looking at the soldiers under his command who can barely stand, leaning crookedly on the city wall, especially the faces full of despair that lacked rest, Tianxing feels that next year will
Today may be the anniversary of his death. With these soldiers under him who can't even stand still and look desperate, Tianxing doesn't think he can hold on for another day. Maybe he can kill them all in one attack.
The enemy obviously couldn't feel Tianxing's thoughts. Countless enemies rushed up. This time, not only the number of people increased a lot, but the quality of the soldiers also increased a lot. After all, after several days of non-stop fighting, the weakest soldier of the Tiger Dynasty was
They have already been eliminated, and those who came today are the real elites.
The siege battles in the past few days have allowed the commander of the Tiger Legion to fully understand all the defensive forces in Xiaguan. Today it seems that they are preparing to take down Xiaguan in one go. After all, the longer they delay, the worse it will be for them, because
Reinforcements may appear at any time. Fortunately, there are basically no examples of night battles in the primitive continent. Otherwise, judging from the current situation, if they had fought at night, Xiaguan would have already fallen.
But even like this, Tianxing felt that the footsteps of death were slowly approaching. Now all the stones in Xiaguan have been thrown away, and the arrows have been almost consumed. Even if there are arrows, there are not that many archers left, so
The only thing still available in Xiaguan is boiling water.
Pots of boiling water were poured down by the soldiers, but the boiling water that had been boiled all morning was limited after all. When the boiling water was poured out, the only thing that could be done was to wait for the hand-to-hand combat to begin. Due to the lack of archers, the enemy's archers were already approaching.
After breaking the city wall, attack from the bottom up, which greatly increases the difficulty of defending the city.
Fortunately, all the archers were hit at the city gate, so the city gate was not in much danger. After all, it was an important defensive area. Otherwise, if the city gate was broken, the city wall would become a complete decoration, and the entire Xiaguan area would be filled with killing cries.
The sky was shaking, the screams before death and the screams after being injured never stopped.
After cutting down an enemy who sneaked up on him, Tianxing felt that his physical strength had been completely exhausted. The blood flowing from the large and small wounds on his body made Tianxing feel that his eyes were darkening. The city wall that Tianxing guarded had been lost, and all his subordinates
All of them had been killed, and Tianxing had been driven far away from his position by the enemy.
There are enemies everywhere, and despair can bring out endless potential. It is because of this that Tianxing can persist until now. Just when Tianxing was about to give up resistance, loud cheers suddenly came from Xiaguan City, and reinforcements arrived at the critical moment.
When the time comes, in addition to despair that can unleash potential, hope will also allow strength to return to the body.
Now that Tianxing saw hope, of course he didn't want to die. He reluctantly moved his weak body, trying to avoid the fatal parts of his body even if he couldn't avoid it. It was by virtue of this that Tianxing persisted until the reinforcements arrived, in exchange for countless
Wounds. Soon reinforcements climbed onto the city wall and finally drove the soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty down.
It was only then that Tianxing felt that he could not move a finger. Not only was his military uniform turned into strips of cloth, but wounds of all sizes were all over his body. In the end, Tianxing was carried off the city wall, accompanied by a therapist.
After seeing Tianxing, they all admired his extraordinary luck.
There were so many wounds, but none of them were in fatal places. Even if they were not fatal in many places, even if they were not fatal, they would lose his fighting ability. The therapist treated Tianxing's wounds carefully, and finally applied the best trauma medicine to him.
, after all, Tianxing’s current status is the battalion commander, so the medicine he uses is of course the best.
However, thinking about Tianxing made him scared. Fortunately, the kingdom's reinforcements, the Bull Legion, arrived in time. If it had been a little later, Tianxing might have perished with the enemy. After hearing the cheers in the city, Tianxing's desperate thoughts disappeared.
Although he hid in a very awkward manner afterwards, his life was finally saved.
The four major legions of the kingdom are the Azure Dragon Legion, the Wild Wolf Legion, the Pegasus Legion, and the Mengniu Legion. Although the Mengniu is the weakest, he still has a strength of 100,000 people, plus the ninth Wild Wolf Corps that hastily returned for reinforcements and the remaining troops from Xiaguan.
The troops were insufficient in attack and more than sufficient in defense. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the enemy retreated knowingly.
The two sides fell into a temporary balance due to the arrival of the Bull Legion. Tianxing finally had some free time during the whole period and rested peacefully. At the same time, after treatment, Black Panther and Ergouzi returned to his side after their bodies recovered. Tianxing found that he was lucky.
It wasn't just him, they were also very lucky. If they hadn't been injured and couldn't go to the battlefield, they would never have survived.
At that time, Tianxing led a whole battalion of soldiers, and in the end only he, the battalion commander, survived. In that case, Tianxing himself almost died. If these two people were there at that time, he would never be able to protect them. Their only option
The result is death. Therefore, their luck can be said to be incredible.
The outstanding performance during the defense of the city did not allow the star to continue to rise because of the defense of the city. He was only one step away from being a general, but this step may not be crossed in a lifetime. After all, in the primitive continent with strict hierarchies, the battalion commander was already within the reach of civilians.
It's reached its peak. It can't possibly go up any more.
If the consumption was not really too great and Tianxing's life was really too hard, he would not have the chance to jump from a recruit to a battalion commander in less than a month. Times make heroes, and war is the best way to get promoted quickly.
Earth. If it were in peaceful times, it would take at least several years for Tianxing to reach this position.
Due to the arrival of the Bull Legion, the Wild Wolf Legion finally relaxed. All the tasks of defending Xiaguan were transferred to the Bull Legion. After this battle, the Wild Wolf Legion was completely crippled, with only a few thousand soldiers left, and all
Many of the soldiers were injured. This was the worst experience since the establishment of the Wild Wolf Legion.
"Everyone! First of all, I would like to thank you on behalf of the country. Thanks to your tenacious fighting, we were able to withstand the attack of two corps with half a legion of troops, which bought the country precious time. Finally, the wait came.
Reinforcements, I will report your achievements to the imperial court and ask for credit for you."
After a few days of rest, Tianxing was notified to attend the legion meeting. After all, he was now considered a mid-level officer. Legion Commander Bill gave a speech first.
"After this battle, our Wild Wolf Legion also suffered heavy losses. In order to restore the legion's combat effectiveness more quickly, I now announce the appointment of all battalion-level and above officers of the Wild Wolf Legion and appoint Long Zhan as the commander of the First Corps...
...Appoint Tianxing as..."
In the end, Tianxing was appointed as the commander of the third battalion of the Fifth Mixed Corps. Not only Tianxing, but many of the appointed battalion commanders were also newly promoted officers. Now they are all mere commanders with no soldiers under their command.
"Since the losses this time are too great, the officer corps below will help you supplement some of them. You can appoint the others yourself and submit the list to the commander of the corps for filing, because the most left this time are the soldiers of the logistics corps.
, so the main people who will supplement you this time are logistics officers and soldiers."
"After the meeting is over, you all go to your respective corps commanders to report. When the military department officially appoints them, the Wild Wolf Legion will return to the country to replenish troops. After the meeting, you will receive the specific matters from your corps commanders. The meeting is over now!"
As the legion commander's speech was completed, all battalion-level officers followed their legion commanders and left here. From now on, these people's positions will be reported to the military headquarters. Waiting for the military headquarters' receipt is equivalent to officially becoming the country's mid-level officers.
After all, the lives of mid-level officers need to be approved by the military department.
