As the last ray of sunset faded, the border town fell into a dark night. Only the firelight dancing on the city wall from time to time showed that the city still existed.
Zhang San dragged his tired body back to the camp, took out the packet of defective explosives he had researched, and murmured to himself: "Do we really want this guy to enter the stage of history early?"
The biting cold wind howled outside, and several painful low roars came from the camp from time to time. This was caused by the injuries of injured soldiers.
In the evening, Cheng Chumo told Zhang San that the border city was about to be exhausted at this time. Not only was it short of food, but even the defensive equipment was about to be exhausted.
"If we can't survive, let's kill a few more enemies and don't be looked down upon by outsiders!"
Cheng Chumo's words lingered in Zhang San's mind and never disappeared for a long time.
Zhang San didn't know how he fell asleep in the end. Before dawn the next day, he was awakened by roars one after another.
"Erwazi, what's going on outside? The enemy is attacking the city again?" Zhang San asked as he got up.
"Sir, those enemies captured many people of the Tang Dynasty from nowhere. They..." Erwazi's voice was trembling and full of anger.
Combined with the thunderous roar outside, Zhang San realized that something had happened and hurriedly ran outside.
Erwazi followed closely behind Zhang San, while Genzi and Heixiong climbed up the city wall and joined in the defense.
"You bastards, I will definitely skin you alive!"
"Damn it, my Tang army will crush you beasts to death..."
"Don't pull me, I want to go out and fight them hard...ah!"
Waves of shouts, full of grief, anger, annoyance, and hatred!
Zhang San climbed up to the city wall and realized why these soldiers were so angry.
The Xue Yantuo tribe outside the city found a group of Tang people from nowhere. There were men, women, old and young among them. However, these people were all naked and covered in blood.
The enemy stood outside the city wall and shouted from a distance: "You are a group of weaklings, eggless guys, huddled in the city, watching your people fall in a pool of blood... Hahaha..."
After saying that, he cut off the head of an old man with one knife.
"You women from the Tang Dynasty are like water spirits, you can squeeze out water..."
"The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all cowards!"
…
All kinds of ridicule, abuse, and humiliation stimulated the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the city wall.
Zhang San saw Cheng Chumo being hugged tightly by three soldiers. Cheng Chumo was shouting and his eyes were red.
Cheng Yaojin stood on the city wall, looking at the enemies outside, wantonly humiliating the people of the Tang Dynasty, and a lot of anger arose in his heart.
But as the top general here, Cheng Yaojin knew that guarding the border town was the top priority right now. With his chest heaving violently and the veins on his neck clearly visible, Cheng Yaojin suppressed his anger and refused to leave the border town.
Perhaps the successive sieges failed to achieve the expected success, and they underestimated the bravery of the Tang Dynasty defenders, which resulted in heavy casualties, but they still failed to capture the city.
Therefore, people of the Tang Dynasty who were escaping from the war were found in the mountains and wild forests, and they were driven to the border city, hoping to humiliate them, stimulate the soldiers guarding the city, break their fighting spirit, and look for opportunities to break the city.
Zhang San's eyes were bloodshot when he saw the innocent people who were being wantonly killed and humiliated by the enemy with extremely cruel methods. A senseless anger surged into his heart, especially when he saw a crying child being killed by the enemy.
He had his head cut off and almost went berserk.
In his previous life, Zhang San had watched many war movies and witnessed various bloody and cruel scenes, but never once was he as angry as he is now.
"Young Master..." Hei Xiong and Genzi saw Zhang San and hurriedly called over.
"Those beasts, you will all be cruel to me later, don't let any one of you go." Zhang San said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Black Bear clenched his fists and said through gritted back molars.
"The enemy will probably attack the city later. Sir, why don't you leave the city wall first?" Genzi said to Zhang San, worried about Zhang San's safety.
"I'm fine. When the war starts, don't distract me from taking care of me. I'm not a vegetarian either. Let's fight as hard as we can to show those bitches. I, the Tang Dynasty, cannot be humiliated!"
Zhang Sansheng shouted the last sentence coldly.
The Tang soldiers on the other side were indifferent, and after a few more instigations, they stopped.
"The whole army is listening to the order and prepare to fight!" Cheng Yaojin saw that the other side had stopped shouting, knowing that the battle was about to break out, so he ordered solemnly.
The soldiers on the city wall were all holding a fire in their hearts at this time. After hearing this, they all clenched their weapons and prepared numerous rolling logs, falling rocks, kerosene, etc. to prepare for the attack.
When Zhang San saw the enemy, he began to drive the naked people towards the border town under his command.
"Damn it, they actually want to use these people to attack the city!"
"General, we..." A non-commissioned officer cursed, trying to seek orders from Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin clenched his fists. It was difficult to make a decision at this time. It is conceivable that if he ordered to attack the people regardless of their life and death, although he could defeat the enemy's vicious plan, he would also make himself a sinner.
The situation will also chill the soldiers.
As the enemy got closer and closer, veins popped up on Cheng Yao's head. When he was about to order an attack, an accident happened unexpectedly.
The common people of the Tang Dynasty who were originally driven to serve as cannon fodder suddenly turned around and attacked the enemies as if they were going crazy.
He roared angrily and cursed again and again: "You beasts!"
"Give back my son's life!"
"I'll fight for you!"
"Children of the Tang Dynasty, leave us alone and kill these idiots!"
When Cheng Yaojin saw these naked people enduring humiliation, he instantly became violent and launched a suicidal attack.
They were unarmed and were shot to the ground mercilessly by the enemy before they could rush in front of them.
They shouted to the soldiers to avenge them until they died.
The few remaining children cried and were at a loss, and finally followed in the footsteps of their parents and fell into a pool of blood.
Cheng Yaojin, a veteran on the battlefield, could not help but feel wet at this moment.
The soldiers also had red eyes and said nothing, but their fierce gazes were staring at the enemies like hawks. Due to excessive excitement and anger, the hands that clenched their weapons could not help but tremble.
Zhang San looked at the fallen people. They suffered the most humiliating treatment during their lifetime, but before they left, they left behind the most magnificent scene in the world.
"kill!"
Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly, and the soldiers threw down the rolling logs, kerosene, falling rocks, etc.
Many enemies who came near the city wall were smashed into pulp by the weapons thrown down by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in anger.
Due to the current shortage of materials in the army, there are not many bows and arrows, so we can only use them sparingly.
Zhang San, on the other hand, found a place convenient for shooting arrows, specifically looking for enemies who wanted to get closer to the city wall to shoot them.
Erwazi is indeed a marksman among the escorts. Every arrow he shoots will definitely take away an enemy's life.
Black Bear, Genzi, Zou Rong and Zhang Zhi, who was helping with the bandage, also approached Zhang San while beating him.
They all came out of the escort team. Before coming, in addition to the weapons in their hands, each of them also brought out almost all the crossbows of the escort team.
The enemy has not yet climbed onto the city wall, so they can only use bows and arrows to attack from a distance, combined with rolling logs, falling rocks, etc. to block the enemy's offensive.
