Chapter 140: Promotion

And the body pounced on the body of a soldier, Hu Twelve howled like a beast, holding a feather arrow in his hand, and kept poking at the neck of the armorer under him, above the door, every time he went down, there were clusters of blood rushing out, the body of the armor soldier was still twisting a few times at first, but under such a critical blow, he was killed in an instant, but Hu Twelve was suddenly unconscious, and still mechanically inserted it one by one.

It wasn't until an officer came over and slapped him that he came to his senses, and looked at the Zhenwu armor soldier under him, who had already been unrecognizable at this moment and had become a bloody messy ball.

After a whole afternoon of fierce battles, Hu Twelve really experienced what it means to be on the verge of death at any time. Of his ten men, only two were still standing. The other eight, a wisp of revenant, is afraid that he has already been named by the king of Yama at this moment.

Of the eight who died, only one was killed by a stone in the morning, and the remaining seven were all killed by the armor soldiers in the battle of the thousands.

Hu Twelve truly realized the power of the armor. As soon as the knife went down, the other party twisted his body, and the knife slid away with a spark, leaving a scratch on the armor, and the other party came over, and his side immediately fell down.

There is too much difference in the fighting skills of the two sides.

In this fight, Hu Twelve no longer dared to have the slightest reservation.

In the area he was in charge of, two armorers fell. And the last one made Hu Twelve so out of shape was that the other party almost let Hu Twelve go to see the king of Hades, if it weren't for the flash of inspiration at the moment of life and death, Hu Twelve would have become a cold corpse now.

How can you die yourself?

I still have ambitions that have not been paid!

In the gradually falling night, the Zhenwu army retreated like a tide.

On the first day, I finally got through it.

For the defenders of the city, in fact, the first day was also the most difficult.

Because the first day will be the time when the enemy's attack is the most ferocious, and it is also the moment when the enemy's morale is at its highest. The further back, the two sides will fall into a state of numbness, mechanical siege, mechanical defense.

For Li Anguo and others, who guarded Shenzhou, after surviving the first day, the hope of defending the city increased greatly.

There are too few armor soldiers in Shenzhou City, and the few hundred people who fled back with Suning are less than two thousand. After being assigned to each section of the city wall, it is even more sparse, not to mention, a team like the wolf rider cannot be used in a scattered manner.

The main force defending the city is the government soldiers.

The most serious casualties were also government soldiers.

The officer who slapped Hu Twelve was the one Hu Twelve had seen at noon, his armor had several broken places, and dark red spots could be seen everywhere on his body, and it was obvious that this person had also fought on the front line all afternoon.

"Not bad, not bad." The officer looked at Hu Twelve, who was still riding on Zhenwu Jiashi: "It's a man, eight people died, but he was able to kill two Jiashi." Remember what Du Bei said in the afternoon? ”

Hu Twelve shook his head, his mind was blank at the moment, and he could think of other things.

"Du Beijia said, as long as you can survive, I will promote you to be the tun chief!" The officer smiled hehehe: "Since you are still alive, you are naturally the commander." The armor on this armor is good, and I will reward you. The other is your spoils, and it will be yours, and you will soon be able to take one with you. ”

Hu Twelve finally reacted, he was promoted. Sure enough, he was promoted quickly during the war, and in one day, he took a big step up.

The position of Shi Chang, to put it bluntly, is still a soldier, but the tun chief is a solid officer. There are a hundred and fifty men.

Hu Twelve immediately threw the trace of regret that had floated in his mind out of the clouds.

Value!

For dinner, it was still white flour buns with broth, and everyone was rewarded with a bowl of wine. Although Hu Twelve still feels sour when he drinks it, at this time, just a little bit of wine is enough to stimulate people's nerves.

The officer's work efficiency was very high, and soon after dinner, Hu Twelve's 150 men were all in place, and the city wall he was responsible for was directly changed from less than five meters long to fifty meters long.

In an afternoon of fierce fighting, on the section of the city wall where Hu Twelve was, three tun chiefs and one Qu chief died, and there were more than 100 government soldiers. If you count the wounded, it's not easy to count.

Hu Twelve, who was wearing armor, looked much more imposing, and looked at the one hundred and fifty government soldiers gathered in front of him, and he was really happy. These people have already gone through a test of life and death, even if it is only a short day's work, it is almost reborn.

The experience gained between life and death is engraved in their bones, and the next time they encounter the same situation, they will subconsciously make the greatest possible action or reaction to save their lives.

He is the commander of the tun, and with one hundred and fifty subordinates, the hope of saving his life has certainly increased greatly.

Only by saving your life can you soar.

Among the one hundred and fifty men, he unexpectedly saw several of his men. These people who followed him to the Deep State have undergone a certain amount of training, and in terms of fighting and saving their lives, of course, there are more than other ordinary government soldiers, and it is not surprising that they can survive. Hu Twelve gave them a knowing smile.

After a series of routine operations of appeasement, encouragement, and a series of routine operations, the newly formed tun finally settled down. Now on duty on the city wall are a new group of government soldiers, who are already experienced soldiers, and have been arranged to return to the temporary barracks to rest. One hundred and fifty people were crammed into two large rooms, crowded and crowded, but they were so tired that they almost fell asleep.

The guards arranged by Hu 12 are, of course, his subordinates. After a brief disappearance, they are now back together.

Sent a person back to his small courtyard, and picked up the short crossbows that were hidden before, and didn't dare to take them out earlier, but now it's different, if someone asks, it can be said that it is captured on the battlefield, anyway, whether it is the Chengde Army or the Zhenwu Army, everyone is the Tang Army, and the standard of weapons is exactly the same, so it can be perfunctory. These short crossbows are life-saving things.

This night, Hu Twelve finally had a good night's sleep.

But the lights are still bright.

Li Anguo looked at the casualty figures counted below, the approximate number of kills, but his brows furrowed even deeper. However, in one afternoon of fierce fighting, more than 500 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in the city, which is too high, and the enemy besieging the city is almost a one-to-one exchange ratio.

Such a battle loss ratio can be said to be a defeat for the defending side.

"After all, most of them are government soldiers, and some are not even government soldiers, they are ordinary farmers and traders, and there are many old people who are over fifty years old, survival of the fittest, the further they go, the better." Gongsun Changming comforted.

"Our armor is too few, if Wang Feng goes all out next and forcibly assaults at the expense of armor casualties, our casualties will be even greater." Li Anguo pinched his brows, "I'm more worried that we will fight too fiercely with Wang Feng, and after Lu Longjun comes, we will no longer have enough strength." ”

"The festival makes it reassuring. That Wang Feng is not a fool, even if he takes refuge in Zhang Zhongwu, he will not take out his old book and work hard, he is under the city, he has thousands of armor soldiers, but less than a thousand are fighting today. Gongsun Changming sneered: "He is also afraid that he will fight too hard and be swallowed by Zhang Zhongwu!" If Lu Longjun does not come, the intensity of the war will only be lower than today, not high. ”

"I hope so!" Li Anguo nodded: "In this way, we can last for a longer time, so that the reinforcements from Yizhou and Zhenzhou can arrive in time." Now that Wang Feng's main force is concentrated on us, when An Min enters the jurisdiction of the Zhenwu Army, I want to see if Wang Feng can stay safe under the city of Shenzhou. ”

"The key depends on whether Hedong Gaoyu can launch an attack in time, so that Lu Long can no longer mobilize troops and horses from us." Gongsun Changming said.

The two were talking, but You Yong trotted all the way with excitement on his face.

"Jie Shuai, Jie Shuai. Someone from Yizhou is coming. ”

Li Anguo and Gongsun Changming were both surprised.

"Cao Tingshi has gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he set out from Lexiang three days ago, and he sent a messenger asking us to send troops to meet him tomorrow, so that he can enter the city smoothly." You Yong said loudly.

"Could it be the enemy's trickery?" Li Anguo and Gongsun Changming said in unison: "How can it be so fast? ”

Regrouping troops and preparing food and grass are not things that can be done in a short period of time, Li Anguo's most optimistic estimate is that he will spend half a month to a month here, but Cao Xin actually gathered 20,000 soldiers to support in a few days, which is really unbelievable.

"The person who came is Cao Tingshi's personal guard, it's an old man, I know him." You Yong said: "I also asked Cao Tingshi why he was so fast?" He said that after Cao Jianshi returned to Yizhou, within a few days, he gathered 20,000 soldiers, prepared corresponding grain and grass, and opened Lexiang to station, so they could come so quickly as soon as something happened in Shenzhou. ”

Li Anguo and Gongsun Changming glanced at each other, and they both saw uneasy looks in each other's eyes. After returning from the Deep State, he began to gather troops, and thinking of the unpleasantness of the earlier period could not help but make people have some other thoughts.

"Anyway, I believe in Cao Xin." After a while, Li Anguo said slowly.

"I believe in him too. When he comes, ask him face to face! Gongsun Changming said.

No matter what Cao Xin's purpose was to gather troops, this time it was a crooked attack.
