A feather arrow was pierced on the earth bag, and the huge force caused Zhong Shilang, who was struggling to move forward with the earth bag, to stumble, barely able to stumble and fall to the ground. He quickly gritted his teeth, stabilized his body, and rushed to the moat in one breath.
, lifted the earth bag on his back into the river, and then ran away without looking back. There was only one thought in his mind, leave the city, as far away as possible!
Another arrow was nailed to the ground less than two steps in front of him to the left. Zhong Silang was so frightened that he turned to the right involuntarily. In front of him was the arrow formation of his Lulong Army, and a row of Lulong soldiers were bending their bows.
Arrows were fired at the city head under the command of the team leader. Looking at the silver ornaments carved on the bows, he suddenly had a strange thought: These bows are really beautiful!
The officer who directed the archery shouted something at Zhongshiro, but the shouts and drums around him were too loud. Zhongshiro didn't hear clearly. Due to the inertia of his feet, he rushed over anyway. The officer roared and drew his sword at Zhongshiro.
After making a gesture of moving to the side, Zhong Silang suddenly woke up from his daze, bypassed the arrow formation and ran to the rear. There had been orders before that if anyone rushed into his own military formation, the officer could kill him immediately!
Zhongshiro ran to a safe area in fear, then slowly turned back to the main formation while panting heavily, took a ladle of water from a large wooden bucket, drank it in one gulp, and continued to wait by the mound. The knife supervisor team was patrolling back and forth not far away.
At the same time, more than ten corpses were lying at their feet, one of which was Wang Qi of the same village. The usually smart and intelligent young man threw away the soil bag on the way and ran back, but he did not hide it from the knife-inspecting team.
His eyes were dragged out and beheaded. Zhong Shilang glanced at the strong soldiers in fear and sighed.
Although Zhong Silang was young, he was short and inconspicuous among the generally tall Yanzhao men. Therefore, after joining the army, he was directly assigned to the civilian camp. A civilian like him carrying earth bags to fill the river would be enough at the east gate.
There were thousands of them, and they braved the rain of arrows from the city head to dump the bags of earth into the moat. After half an hour, they gradually blocked the water of more than ten feet deep and formed several wide channels on the moat.
Li Chengzhong sat on the ground in the middle of the formation. The entire camp of soldiers was outside the range of the city wall's arrow rain. The brothers looked at everything in front of them, excited and nervous. Hundreds of civilians had fallen under the east city wall, some of them
Those who were not dead were still lying on the ground struggling. The sound of war drums and shouts covered up their cries. Li Chengzhong saw their open-mouthed expressions of pain and clenched their fists, but in the end he could only loosen them weakly. No.
People have time to take care of them, and even if they are rescued, their injuries cannot be saved in this era.
The sound of the drum suddenly changed, and the cloud cart lined up behind him began to move forward. This kind of cloud cart is as high as the city wall, and more than ten civilians below push four thick wooden wheels to move forward. The cloud cart can accommodate five people.
Behind the cart is a wooden ladder, which can be dragged diagonally backward to the ground so that people can get on at any time. When the cloud cart is pushed to the front of the formation, the soldiers of each Jianzu battalion stand up and form a team under the command of Dutou Brigade Commander, and gather on the cart.
Down.
Six cloud chariots were launched from the east wall, and the Jianzu Front Battalion deployed six teams with nearly 300 troops. Li Chengzhong's Youdu was not among them according to the order, and still sat there waiting.
After the troops were deployed, five people, three sword and shield bearers, and two archers were mounted on the roof of each cloud chariot. Others gathered behind the cloud chariot and covered the roof with shields to form a shield array.
The wooden barrels full of water were hoisted onto the cloud cart, and the soldiers on the roof poured water on the cloud cart, making the whole cloud cart wet. When everything was ready, the army gave a shout, and the civilians under the cart pushed the wooden wheel.
Yun Che then slowly moved towards the city wall.
Another group of soldiers were replaced in the front row of the Lulong Army's arrow array. After this group of fresh troops entered the battle, the speed of firing arrows became faster, gradually suppressing the Wei Bo archers at the top of the city. The cloud chariot slowly but firmly passed the people on the moat.
The passage filled with life led directly to the edge of the city. The Weibo defenders on the city wall immediately shot some rockets and nailed them to the cloud cart, but because they had been poured with water, they did not light the cloud cart. The cloud cart leaned against the city wall, with its roof
The shield bearer with the Lulong saber withdrew the shield array in front and jumped into the city wall.
When Sergeant Lu Long below the city saw his brothers ascending the city wall, they all shouted in excitement, the sound shook the surrounding areas, and the war drums beat louder. The brothers in Li Chengzhong's army formation could not sit still either, and everyone stood up one after another.
, and stared at the city wall.
I saw the Swordsman and Shieldman who was the first to climb up the city wall jumped to the top of the city, and the city suddenly became noisy and chaotic. Li Chengzhong couldn't see clearly what was going on above, but he just saw the brothers under the cloud cart one after another using wooden ladders to climb to the top of the cloud cart.
, and then jumped into the city one by one. Cheers immediately came from all the military formations of the Lu Long Army. As soon as the command flag was waved in the formation behind, the commander Zhang Zhongyan asked everyone to form a team, and then quickly set off towards the city, preparing to enter the city to fight.
.
Li Chengzhong drove with his team to the third cloud carriage under the city. Seeing that all the brothers from the previous team had jumped into the city, Zhang Zhongyan waved his hand and asked everyone to get on the cloud carriage. Li Chengzhong took out a bright horizontal sword from the scabbard and
It was time to board the wooden ladder. After capturing Beizhou, a batch of new Hengdao was seized from the Beizhou treasury, and priority was given to replacing some equipment for the poorly equipped Jianzu camp. As the newly promoted deputy lieutenant, Li Chengzhong
I also got a horizontal sword with a sheath, which was much stronger than the previous one.
As soon as he took a few steps, he saw more than a dozen black clay pots suddenly flying out of the city. He was stunned when several of these pottery pots hit the cloud cart and shattered, leaving a choking smell of oil.
The smell rushed straight into his nostrils. He was so horrified that he didn't even bother to climb the stairs again, and jumped down directly, shouting: "Back off! Back off! Oil tank! It's an oil tank!"
After hearing this, Zhang Zhongyan was also excited and waved for everyone to retreat. However, in the chaos, dozens of people crowded in front of the cloud car, and there was nowhere to retreat. I saw a few torches thrown from the city wall, and the cloud car "cracked" in the blink of an eye.
There were high flames! Some of the oil tanks that had not hit the cloud car fell to the ground, and oil was splashed all over the ground. A fire suddenly broke out under the city.
Before Li Chengzhong traveled through time, he watched a lot of costume dramas. He reacted quickly to such emergencies and predicted early, so he had enough lead time to respond. When the fire started, he had already dragged Jiang Miao out of the flames.
However, the dozen or so civilians supporting the carriage under the cloud chariot and the dozen or so brothers in the capital who had not had time to run out were all turned into burning men, rolling on the ground crying like headless flies, miserable and miserable.
Fortunately, the archers of the Lulong Army under the city were more successful in suppressing it, and the remaining Lulong Army evacuated the city without many casualties. Everyone looked back and saw that the six cloud chariots were ignited with blazing flames, and many areas under the city wall were burned into a line.
Fire Dragon, countless Lu Long soldiers who had not had time to evacuate were buried in this fire.
Such a tragic situation was staged in front of everyone, and everyone was shocked and speechless. Many of those crying people on fire were brothers who had known each other for a long time. Although most of them could not name each other, they knew each other.
But we have sung together, shouted together, fought together, and drank together. But now we are separated forever, and everyone feels extremely uncomfortable.
The fire under the city not only caused casualties to the soldiers who followed the siege, but also completely destroyed the six cloud chariots. Not only the vehicles were burned, but also the retreat route of the three hundred soldiers and soldiers on the city wall was burned! Now those three hundred brothers
We are still fighting on top of the city, but there is no support, and we cannot retreat. What should we do?
Everyone could only jump around in panic at the foot of the city, watching helplessly through the fire as the three hundred Lu Longjun brothers at the top of the city fought alone, but they were unable to do anything.
When the fire below the city gradually weakened, the fighting on the top of the city slowly stopped. After a while, hundreds of corpses of Lu Longjun brothers were thrown on the top of the city. Wei Bojun returned to the city wall, pointing at the Lu Longjun below the city, laughing and cursing.
The sound of gold ringing came from the rear formation, and Zhang Zhongyan, the leader, reluctantly ordered everyone to retreat. This defeat had a heavy blow to morale. Everyone felt bad and returned to the main formation dejectedly.
The first attack on the city failed, and the Lu Long Army suffered heavy losses. In the offensive on the east wall alone, six to seven hundred soldiers and soldiers were deployed, not including hundreds of civilians. Of course, the east city is the main direction of the Lu Long Army's attack today.
, all other aspects are just cooperating with the response. The losses are not that big, but they add up to nearly a thousand.
In the following days, the Lu Long Army continued to intensify their siege. They attacked the east city twice, the west city, and the north city once each, but they were unsuccessful. On the contrary, the main attack force of the Jianzu Battalion suffered a loss of nearly 3,000 troops. The entire camp was full.
The impact of wounded soldiers on morale is huge. Due to the rudimentary medical conditions and very few medical manpower, those soldiers with injuries to vital parts of their bodies basically have no choice but to die helplessly, or are given up directly by doctors, or suffer from severe pain.
When he couldn't bear it any longer, he begged the brothers around him to give him a stab wound. Even many soldiers who were shot by arrows in their legs or arms could only receive the same fate. Most of their symptoms were simple - fever, but
Facing such injuries, the medical conditions at this time are at a loss.
Only those soldiers who were not seriously injured or outstanding officers could be treated. For example, Ren Dutou, who was seriously injured in the waist and abdomen, received special care from Zhou Zhiyu because he had been a family general for generations, and sent special personnel to treat him.
The car took him back to Youzhou. Of course, Ren Dutou still had to go through the gate of death - if his injuries worsened during the journey, he would still be dead. In Li Chengzhong's view, with Ren Dutou's injuries, the commander Zhou Zhiyu could only
It's just a matter of doing some human work.
Li Chengzhong saw with his own eyes that many injured brothers screamed in pain when being treated by doctors, which made him sweat. The simple and crude treatment method made Li Chengzhong's teeth sore. The process is probably like this
: Several people went up to hold down the hands and feet, and tied the injured soldier tightly to the wooden board. The doctor used a burnt knife to forcefully gouge out the rotten flesh on the wound, and then applied herbs that were boiled like mud, and simply used a piece of cloth
After bandaging it, it's done. Then two days later, when the wound rots again, the doctor will continue to operate.
Only those with tenacious vitality can survive this kind of suffering, and then compete with God for their character. If they can live without fever or if the fever subsides quickly after the fever, otherwise, they will still die.
After all, they are brothers who have fought and lived together. According to Li Chengzhong's understanding, these people are his comrades. Whether before or after time travel, life in the military camp is a melting pot, which can affect a person's character to the greatest extent.
During these days, he had already unknowingly integrated into the atmosphere of Lu Longjun. The laughter and curses of the brothers around him had a subtle influence on him, making him regard himself as a complete Yandi person. When someone asked
When asked about his origin, he would pat his chest and say loudly: "A certain person was born in Gu'an and grew up in Fanyang! A certain person is from Youzhou!" When encountering something happy, he would cheer loudly with his brothers. When encountering setbacks, he would cheer loudly.
He would sigh in frustration with his brothers, he would be excited by the majesty and power of the Lulong Army, and he would also be worried about the progress of the war.
Therefore, Li Chengzhong could not face everything in front of him with the mentality of a time traveler. He tried his best to help these injured brothers. His former camp Youdu suffered heavy losses in the battles in the past few days.
Only half of the more than 60 brothers before the war are still able to move, but the recovery rate of the wounded soldiers is higher than that of other brothers. This is due to Li Chengzhong's help and timely awakening. He can do a lot
It's as simple as boiling the cloth in boiling water for a quarter of an hour before bandaging the wound. Because of this process, Youdu survived at least ten more brothers.
He really wanted to promote this method throughout the army, but he was so soft-spoken that he couldn't explain microorganisms, bacteria and the like to others. Even Zhang Zhongyan, the commander-in-chief, valued his good performance in the capital, so he was hesitant to believe it.
Try this method. To be honest, Zhang Zhongyan is not sure whether the brothers who survived have really benefited from this. As for persuading other troops, or even reporting to the commander Zhou Zhiyu, Zhang Zhongyan is not so bold. There are countless things at stake.
He cannot bear this responsibility for his brother's life and death.
