Chapter 40: Waiting Peacefully
The death camp has a bad reputation, but it is famous on the battlefield, for those who know them in Anyang County, the death camp is a love-hate existence, usually they are ruffians, bullies, and masters who can't be provoked, and the people who see the death camp on the road have to go around the road, but at this time, there is such an army stationed outside the city, but it gives everyone a reliance in their hearts and a support.
It's not that the scissors are really very eloquent, when he walked among the people and shouted loudly that he needed people to help build a defensive position, hundreds of people who were waiting outside the city to enter the city got up silently, and set off towards Mao'er Mountain.
In just three days, the small Mao'er Mountain has completely changed the world and changed its appearance, and the trees on the top of the mountain until the halfway up the mountain have been cut down cleanly, leaving only the foot of the mountain to exist in a circle around the mountain, and directly become bald. Earthen walls rose out of thin air, countless obstacles made of tree trunks were scattered horizontally and vertically on the mountain path, and several lines of defense were layered on top of each other, from the halfway point of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
They even helped the death battalion dig two wells in the mountains, for the army defending in the mountains, drinking water is a huge problem, but with these two wells, although for the troops of 2,000 people, it is a drop in the bucket, but as long as there is him, there will be no danger of being thirsty to death.
The food is enough, the food given by Cheng Pingzhi is enough for them to hold on here for more than a month, if they can hold on for so long and live for so long, some large weapons such as crossbows and trebuchets are too much for such a hill, and they are not small at all, but they can be used as stocks, and they can be replaced with damaged ones when the time comes.
The abundant supplies made the people in the death camp feel a little different about Cheng Pingzhi.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Standing on a high place, Zhang Xiaomei exerted his strength and shouted loudly: "You want to join us in helping to defend, we understand it, but everyone has also seen it, this Mao'er Mountain is so big, it really can't accommodate too many people, fighting, it's not that the more people, the better, at least in this Mao'er Mountain, it's enough to have us, you are not soldiers, it's not your duty to defend your home and defend the country, thank you for helping us build this defensive position, while the Western Qin people haven't come yet, let's go into the city quickly." It's safer in town. ”
After repairing the defensive position of Maoer Mountain, in the face of the surging crowd of ordinary people who asked to join the army, Zhang Xiaomei could only persuade bitterly, what are you kidding, if you really want them to join the death camp, isn't it harmful to them?
Cheng Pingzhi is at least right about one thing, that is, the death camp and the Western Qin people are indeed blood feuds, over the years, every battle with the Western Qin people, that time didn't they rush to the front? When the people of Western Qin came to the city of Anyang, they looked at the lonely hanging of the death camp, so they didn't rush up excitedly and swallowed the belt bones? To keep them is to harm them.
"Scissors, give ten taels of silver to each of the villagers who come to help, so that they can go into the city to take refuge. We still have a lot of silver, it's of no use to us, and it's a complete burden to keep it around. Zhang Xiaomei said loudly.
The people with the silver turned around step by step and left Mao'er Mountain, walking towards the direction of Anyang City, and soon, the noisy Mao'er Mountain quieted down, leaving only two thousand soldiers of the death battalion, surrounded by their military flags, standing on Mao'er Mountain, calmly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
There is no expectation, no dependence, and no hope, the only thing left is calm, and the death battalion that has fought an old war with the Western Qin people naturally knows the weight of the Western Qin people, not to mention the elite Thunder Army of the Western Qin from Yongdu, it is the Western Qin border army that is in tatters like an army of beggars, and the combat effectiveness is not covered? If you start a war, you don't want to die. Now there are only 2,000 people in the death camp, but in the face of the invasion of more than 100,000 Western Qin troops, not to mention the hard shock, one person can drown the death camp with a mouthful of spit.
The snoring on Mao'er Mountain was like thunder, these days, they were also tired, after the people retreated, they started to work again, before the position, began to arrange those small traps that they were good at, don't underestimate these inconspicuous traps, this is not in their camp, any of them, can really kill people.
Zhang Xiaomei himself is from the death battalion, and he is naturally very clear about the command system of the death battalion, and he is also very clear about the characteristics of several troops. Scissors yin, the timing is accurate, the enemy can see the loopholes exposed in an instant and can be used immediately, so he is behind the wild dog, ready to attack at any time, and the monk is on the top of the mountain, this is the last position.
"The wild dog had to go to the front and personally command his soldiers, so he let two soldiers carry him away." Looking at Zhang Xiaomao, Shu Chang shook his head and said, "What can he do before he goes, except for a mouth that can call, he can't do anything." ”
"Wild Dog is right to do this, this brigade has been led by him for the past few years, he is here, even if he can't do it, his soldiers look at him with peace of mind." Chapter Kitten sat down. "The wild dog's injuries are out of the way, are they?"
"If it weren't for this damn war, I would have been able to recover in a few months." Shu Chang smiled: "But now?" ”
"It's all the same!" Zhang Xiaomei interrupted him, "Doctor Shu, let's go, while it's still too late, as long as you are not on our position, you can save your life, you are originally a soldier, not a person from the death camp, walk down this position and go into the city, no one will embarrass you." ”
Shu Chang stared at Zhang Kitten for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand, snapped, and slapped Zhang Kitten loudly. "Monk, did he say that I was from the death camp?"
The monk who spread himself out in a big zigzag smiled cardinally, "Kitten, who dares to say that Dr. Shu is not from our death camp?" Can you just pull a soldier from our battalion and ask? Doctor Shu is the number two person in our battalion except for Boss Qin, and everyone is stammering! ”
"You Zhang Kitten left early, and I don't bother to bother with you, otherwise it wouldn't be a slap in the face today, and Crazy Shu won't just save people? Healer, killing people is not necessarily slower than you. Shu Chang hummed.
"Okay, well said, sleep!" Zhang Xiaomei laughed and stood up, "You said that my heart is furious, I have to stay away from you, so as not to fall for the trick inexplicably." ”
