Du Ruiqi is now a middle-aged man in his forties, but he is one of the more than 1,000 villagers who were recruited by Yumo. said that it was recruitment, but some of them were still forced, and people like Du Rui who were not willing abounded.

But what can be done?

The male in the family, in addition to him, is only a son in his early twenties, a good boy who has been honest and responsible since he was a child, if he is allowed to go up to the city wall, he will send a white-haired person to a black-haired person in a few clicks.

Therefore, Du Rui didn't care about his old age, so he took the initiative to stand up and replace his son as this village warrior. After all, when I was young, I also experienced a lot of battles, and compared to these hairy boys, the experience is not ordinarily rich.

If you want to talk about Du Rui's experience when he was young, I am afraid that he is the only one in this stupid port, he was originally from Liaodong, he was recruited into the army at fifteen, and it was not until the year before last that he secretly ran out of Liaodong with his family.

Everyone also knows that there are many military households in the Ming Dynasty, although after the passage of time, many military families have existed in name only, but under the huge base of military households, there are still many families who have inherited it.

And Du Rui's family is such a military family, he was recruited into the military early, and he was in the war-torn Liaodong region, the Mongols and Jurchens in the early years, even when Li Chengliang was still alive, they had to come to fight the grass valley in the year of famine. And with the death of Marshal Chengliang, although Yu Wei is still alive, and his son General Li Rusong inherited his father's business, it is inevitable that there will be more things to fight in the grass valley.

In particular, the Jurchen clan grew stronger and stronger under the leadership of Nurhachi, a former slave of the Liang commander, so they frequently harassed the Liaodong regions.

Du Rui's more than 20 years of military career has been spent in such an environment, including many major battles and great dangers, all of which have made him extremely lucky to experience the past peacefully.

It's just that as the Jurchen clan became stronger and stronger, and after General Li Rusong died on the battlefield, there was no general in Liaodong who could contain such heroic figures as Nurhachi. As a result, Nurhachi's incursions into the border have become more frequent over the years.

And the increasingly erosive border defense makes veterans like Du Rui, who are accustomed to seeing the battle array, worried and unable to see the dawn, so that he has to think about future generations.

In the end, he still made up his mind and fled with his family, and this escape fled from Liaodong to Quanzhou Yuegang. However, the disgraceful desertion of military households always made their families tremble when facing the government's interrogation, until they encountered Bengang recruiting displaced people, which gave them a place to stay.

After more than 20 years of military career, he has long been tired of the days of fighting and killing, and he does not want his only son to embark on such a road of no return. But God always likes to joke with him, and the more he tries to avoid things, the more he still finds him like fate.

More than 1,000 villagers who had not undergone any training were pulled onto the battlefield in this way, although they were only doing some very simple defense work, but the broken corpses and wounded soldiers who were wailing and crying everywhere around them made this group of villagers who were just farmers a moment ago scattered, and they hid and shivered like turtles with shrunken heads.

In the end, it was the loud and stern shouts of the Bengang team members that woke up this group of villagers, and after cutting down the heads of several villagers who tried to escape from the city wall, they finally let these villagers know that they were powerful, and they involuntarily did the work of pouring gold juice and boiling water under the city wall, throwing down falling rocks and rolling logs.

On the chaotic city wall, a group of brave villagers whose minds have been occupied by fear and death only know how to pour gold juice and boiling water down indiscriminately, but from the perspective of checking whether there is an enemy below, this is in the eyes of Du Rui, who is accustomed to battlefield fighting, there is no rule at all, and even the way the Bengang team members defend the city is full of loopholes in his eyes.

However, after all, this matter is related to the life of his family, so Du Rui can no longer hide his clumsiness, and immediately shouted at the villagers who organized his section, and instructed them how to throw away rolling logs and falling stones, and when to dump gold juice and boiling water.

It was with his command that the natives who could climb up from his section were far fewer than the other sections of the wall. I didn't think about such a change at first, but after a long time, I was naturally seen by Zhao Xingdou and Wu Hu.

arrived, and in a short period of time, under his command, the villagers around Du Rui not only began to appear to advance and retreat, but also suffered many fewer casualties than other villagers. Zhao Xingdou, who didn't have much time and energy to take care of this group of villagers, simply handed over all the villagers in the southern city to Du Rui, and he commanded them in a unified manner.

This time, the siege lasted for a long time, and the natives, as if they had a premonition, organized the warriors of all tribes to be sent to the city wall in waves regardless of casualties. And the figure of Wu Daofu's reinforcements who were given high hopes by Zhao Xingdou is still nowhere to be seen, if it weren't for the timely delivery of more than 1,000 villagers sent by Yumo yesterday, so that many team members have less cumbersome defense, it is impossible to say that the city wall of Bengang has already been occupied by the natives at this time.

A siege battle, from morning to afternoon, more than four hours of continuous fighting, I can't help but stupid Hong Kong team members can't help, even the natives who are too many people below can't stand it. Many times, a section of the city wall has been taken down by the natives, and a steady stream of natives have been sent up along with the natives on the wall, but in the end, they were still recaptured by the Bengang warriors mixed with the help of a lot of bloody villagers, and they relied on the filling of human lives.

Among them, the most helpful to the Bengang warriors, in addition to these few village warriors with some blood and bravery, is the grenade that has always been useless.

In the siege of the city in the past few days, because the wall has been suppressed by the opposite tower, few soldiers dare to come out and look down. In the city, a dozen large areas of tiger squat artillery continued to attack downward, boiling water and falling rocks were abandoned like money, and small-area weapons of destruction such as grenades were always put aside and nothing could be done.

Until the natives attacked the city wall, and dozens of people crowded together in a heap around a section of the city wall to resist the counterattack of the Bengang warriors, the narrow and empty city wall became a good place for grenades to show their might.

More than a dozen grenades, by the Bengang soldiers intensively thrown into a circle of indigenous defense that is only a few feet in diameter, blooming from the inside, just one or two rounds of bombardment, so that this section of the crowded city wall suddenly less than half of the people can still stand, and then the Bengang team members are again a reckless impact of strength and life, even if they can't immediately cut down these natives, but they can further compress their living space, and then concoct the same way, and finally the natives can't escape the fate of being driven down.
