Chapter 45: Commitments

The roaring horses' hooves galloped into the military village on the muddy water, and the wall was already extremely difficult. More than 100 halberd soldiers of the Wu army have broken through the defense of a section of the wall, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Luan family have resisted desperately with the Zhuang households of the Yan family. From time to time, someone fell under the long halberd of the Wu soldiers, and Luan Ling was like a female tiger slashing wildly.

One was not paying attention, and stepped on the arm of a farmer who had died in battle. His feet slipped and he fell down with a grin. A halberd soldier of the Wu army immediately rushed over with a halberd. He also saw that the woman in red was an important figure in the enemy army.

Luan Ling's eyes widened as she looked at the Wu soldier who rushed over with a halberd, and the whole action seemed to be in slow motion in a movie. With a wave of his arm, the tip of the spear that shimmered with cold light stabbed at him.

An arrow of a crossbow arrow came out of the chest of the soldier of Wu, and the soldier fell under the wall with a scream. With big eyes looking in the direction where the crossbow bolts were flying, Yun Xiao was nervously shaking the handle of the iron-tired crossbow.

Luan Ling wiped a handful of sweat and turned over, and continued to rush into the battle group to fight.

The Hun men rushed into the army and did not dismount. He took off the iron-tired crossbow from his horse's butt and began to shoot at the Wu soldiers on the wall. The effect is surprisingly good, and there are no battlements on the inside of the wall. Without the slightest cover, the soldiers of Wu were like targets in armor. The people who were hit by the arrows fell into the military village one after another, and those who fell into the village were surrounded and beaten by the old and weak women and children of the Yan family.

Xiao Bai grabbed the neck of a Wu soldier in the air, and after landing on the ground, his head shook a few times, and then he shook the soldier's neck.

More than 100 Wu soldiers who rushed up were shot and killed in only two volleys. Yun Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't expect that the Huns were better under the walled city than above. Hurriedly ordered Batu not to come up, and shot the Wu soldiers who rushed up below.

Xiang Sanqiu rolled his eyes angrily, his cavalry had just rushed out of the military formation. The other party's cavalry ran into the military village, so that their own cavalry could not chase it, nor did they not chase it.

The people in the village began to shrink gradually, and the soldiers of the Luan family quickly retreated into the village. Climb the wall to support Luan Ling, who is already in danger.

The Wild Bull was the last to retreat back to the military village, and as he retreated. A large handful of triangular nails fell from the sky, and the fast running Sergeant Wu stepped on these deadly things, rolling on the ground one by one covering his feet. As a result, more triangular nails were pierced into the body, and the chaotic scene stopped the Wu soldiers behind him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the gate of the village was closed with a bang, and the villagers of the Yan family hurriedly used thick wooden stakes to hold up the gate of the village.

The losses of the crossbowmen were very heavy, and the Huns killed more than 300 archers in a single charge. The three-bow bed crossbow on the walled city is also constantly plundering the lives of crossbowmen. Xiang Sanqiu, who was helpless, had to order the cavalry to dismount. Pick up a bow and shoot at the enemy on the walled city, but their accuracy is not comparable to that of a professionally trained crossbowman, and the arrows often shoot off target, and some of them even hit their own people.

The Wu army infantry under the walled city did not please well, and often rushed to the walled city before they had a chance to fight, so they were shot over by a crossbow arrow, and then rolled down to the bottom of the walled city. The soldiers besieging the gate were even more miserable, and the overturned hot oil was poured on the soldiers. The screams of human excruciating pain terrified the robes. At the captain's order, many people rushed up to drag the wounded robe away.

The hand was soft and slippery, and the torn military uniform was ripped off along with the scalded skin muscles. Bai Sensen's leg bones were exposed, and the Wu soldiers who were dragging on the ground screamed loudly. Under the rough stones, the vertebrae were exposed. Through the space in the chest, you can clearly see the lungs, the wriggling internal organs, and the beating heart.

Looking at the oil pot with green smoke on it, no one dared to take a step closer to the gate of the village. This way of dying is so terrifying that even those who have seen countless dead people are discouraged. There are thousands of ways to die, but no one wants to die like this.

Thousands of people surrounded the military village and attacked like ants, but apart from the corpses, the Wu army attacked nothing in the morning. The captain of the overseer and the overseer team had already killed more than a hundred defeated soldiers, and the heads were arranged in front of them. Those who cross this line die, this is Xiang Sanqiu's order.

The lieutenant faithfully carried out the general's orders, and the helpless Wu soldiers had to cower in the dead corner under the walled city and refused to come out again.

Xiang Sanqiu reluctantly ordered the withdrawal of the army, and lost nearly 2,000 people in one morning. This number of casualties is unacceptable, and the five thousand foot soldiers have already lost seventy-seven eighty-eight, and now the crossbowmen plus the halberd soldiers and the sword and shield bearers can fight together are less than two thousand.

Xiang Sanqiu was like a helpless tiger, pacing irritably in the military formation. The horsewhip was waved casually, and the military schools hid far away for fear of being used as a punching bag by this irritable general.

Watching Wu Jun's wolf bèi retreat, the people on the wall let out a burst of cheers. Yun Xiao was weakly paralyzed in the arrow tower, and his arms were sore. This morning, he fired no less than 100 crossbow arrows, and killed 20 or 30 soldiers of Wu. This is the day when he has killed the most people with his own hands in his life, and killing people is also a hard job, Yun Xiao thought helplessly.

"The fisherman counts the losses."

Yun Xiao said weakly.

The result of the battle damage gave Yun Xiao a big headache, and the Luan family's soldiers were almost killed and wounded. There were only a few dozen people who could pick up their swords and continue the fight, and even the bears and the bulls were scarred. Only a few of the Huns were wounded by arrows. Because they were always inside the walled city, supporting the battle above the walled city with crossbow arrows.

The casualties of the Yan family's households were not small, and the military village was full of women and children's cries.

The casualties of the Mo family disciples were zero, and the arrow tower of the military village perfectly protected them. Just look at how many crossbow arrows are stuck in the outside of the wooden arrow tower, you can see how effective this protection is, and how much Wu Jun wants to kill these guys.

After listening to the old fisherman's report, Yun Xiao stood up with difficulty. At this time, he must stand up and cheer everyone up, which is the responsibility of a general.

He took out a piece of rock candy in his arms and handed it to the crying child, and gently helped the wounded to bandage the wound with burlap. With some reassurance to the women who wiped their tears, Yun Xiao took the goshawk all over the military village. His every word and every action is in people's eyes. Every smile he gave these people confidence that they could get through, and the Wu army outside couldn't get in.

The Luan family's soldiers suffered the heaviest casualties because they rushed to the front line. No one complained, because Yun Hou's subordinates were also fighting desperately. When the cavalry rushed out of the fortress, no one was sure that they could return. And the fire support in the walled city saved many lives, and Yun Xiao comforted the injured Luan family soldiers. He personally served a bowl of rice with pieces of meat to Luan's soldiers.

"Eat more, don't be afraid. The casualties of the Wu army are ten times that of ours, and it is they who should cry. ”

The soldier was probably only a teenager, and his chin was still just a layer of soft fluff. Yun Xiao touched his head, handed him the rice bowl and walked to the next person.

"Yunhou, can we survive?"

The boy asked, his eyes full of longing.

"Trust me, we'll survive. Those miscellaneous pieces can't get in, General Dou's reinforcements have arrived, and we will overthrow them together. ”

"Well, them."

The boy cracked open his mouth and grinned, gulping down the pork and rice.

Pork and dried vegetables are stewed with tofu, and rice in a large pot can be eaten casually. The steaming cauldron, Yun Xiao tasted it, put a large spoonful of salt, and the man who watched it grinned.

"The body of the battle is very expensive, and they can't hold it without putting more salt. Your taste is according to the usual home, but now it is different. ”

Yun Xiao used a spoon to dissolve the salt while patiently admonishing the cook. At this time, you must be patient, his every move, everyone in the walled city is watching.

Luan Ling looked at Yiqiē in front of her, and the scene of her grandfather's head being raised yesterday came to mind from time to time. Yiqiē was instinctively instructing her, Mu Ran ate Mu Ran's battle, and Mu Ran looked at the Hou Ye to appease his family soldiers.

Yun Xiaosheng gave her rice soaked in soup, and the fat and thin pieces of meat tasted very good. Luan Ling ate the rice as if she was chewing a mouthful of wax, and she didn't know how to swallow it after chewing it for a long time.

"If you want to avenge your grandfather, eat more, and if you don't eat enough, you can't avenge your grandfather. You look at them, they all have wives and children, they all have families, and your grandfather brought them out. It is your responsibility to bring them back and hand them over to their families.

I can't control the affairs of your Luan family, but if you want to live, you have to eat. ”

Luan Ling seemed to have listened, and lowered her head and gulped the rice into her mouth. When I raised my head, my mouth was full of rice and my face was full of tears. Fatty pork, making the face like a goose egg dirty. But Luan Ling still kept picking up the rice in her mouth.

Yun Xiao stood up helplessly, and the wounds in his soul could only be healed with time.

"Will you help me get revenge?"

A muffled voice came from behind him, and Yun Xiao even felt that some rice grains were sprayed on his body.

"My father died early, and my uncle and brother are not successful. The soldiers in the family were all taken out by the grandfather, and the grandfather died and the Luan family was over. ”

Yun Xiao didn't look back, he didn't want to face those eyes full of hope. To put it bluntly, this matter was caused by his greed for money, and his persistent love for gold led to this monstrous disaster. Luan Bu is fully responsible for his death, and Yun Xiao sometimes really doesn't know how to face Luan Ling. A certain Cheng dù said that Luan Bu was killed by himself.

"I will, no matter who the other party's lord is. I assure you, he's dead. ”

The helpless Yun Xiao can only use the other party's main general as a scapegoat, after all, it is his hand.

"His name is Xiang Sanqiu, and grandpa sued me."

Luan Ling said word by word.
