Chapter 45 Commitment

The rumbling horse hooves rushed into the military camp in mud and water. The wall was already extremely difficult. More than a hundred halberd soldiers of the Wu army had already broken through the defense of the village wall, and more than a dozen Luan's soldiers resisted desperately with the Yan family's farmers. From time to time, some people fell under the halberds of the Wu army soldiers, and Luan Ling was like a female tiger slashing and killing wildly.

Unconsciously, he stepped on the arm of a villager who died in battle. His feet slipped and he fell down slanted. A Wu army's long halberd soldier rushed over with his long halberd. He also saw that the woman in red was an important figure in the enemy's army.

Luan Ling stared at the Wu army soldiers rushing towards him with a halberd. Her whole movement seemed to be slow motion of a movie. She waved her arms and stabbed the tip of a spear with a cold light towards her.

The arrow of a crossbow arrow emerged from the chest of the Wu army soldier. The soldier screamed and fell to the wall of the village. His big eyes looked in the direction where the crossbow arrow flew, and Yun Xiao was nervously shaking the iron-tied crossbow's handle.

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

The Hun men rushed into the military camp without dismounting. They took off the iron crossbow from the horse's butt and began to shoot at the Wu soldiers on the village wall. The effect was surprisingly good. There were no battlements on the inside of the village wall. The Wu soldiers without any cover were like targets wearing armor. The people who were shot in the arrow fell to the military camp one after another, and those who fell into the village were surrounded and beaten by the elderly, weak women and children of the Yan family.

Xiaobai grabbed the neck of a Wu army soldier in the air, and after landing, he shook his head a few times, then broke the neck of the soldier.

More than a hundred Wu soldiers who rushed up were shot and killed in just two rounds of volleys. Yun Xiao was happy, but he did not expect that the Huns were better at the foot of the city than above. He hurriedly told Batu not to come up, and then shot the Wu soldiers who rushed up from below.

Xiang Sanqiu rolled his eyes in anger, and his cavalry had just rushed out of the military formation. However, the opponent's cavalry ran into the military camp, causing his cavalry to chase him, and he would not chase him.

The people at the village gate began to gradually shrink, and the Luan family's soldiers quickly retreated to the village and climbed to the village wall to support Luan Ling, who was already in danger.

Manniu was the last person to retreat to the military camp, and with his retreat, a large handful of triangular nails fell from the sky. The fast-running Wu soldiers stepped on these deadly things and rolled on the ground one by one. As a result, more triangular nails were pierced into their bodies, and the chaotic scene blocked the Wu soldiers behind them. Taking this opportunity, the village gate closed with a bang, and the Yan family's merchants rushed to hold the village gate with thick wooden stakes.

The losses of the crossbowmen were very heavy. The Huns killed more than 300 archers with just one charge. The three-bow crossbows on the city wall were also constantly plundering the lives of the crossbowmen. The helpless Xiang Sanqiu had to order the cavalry to dismount and pick up the arrows to shoot the enemy troops on the city wall. However, their accurate heads were simply unable to compare with the crossbowmen who were professionally trained. The arrows shot often deviated from the target, and some of them even shot on their own people.

The Wu infantrymen below the city wall were not good enough. They often rushed to the city wall and were shot over by a crossbow arrow before they could fight, and then rolled down to the bottom of the city wall. The soldiers besieged the gate of the city wall were even more miserable, and the overturning hot oil poured on the soldiers. The screams of humans caused great pain made the robes frightened. At the command of the captain, many people rushed up to drag the injured robes away.

The soft and smooth military uniform was pulled down with the scalded skin muscles. The white leg bones were exposed, and the Wu soldiers dragging on the ground screamed loudly. The thick stones were scratched, and the spine was exposed. Through the gaps in the chest, you could clearly see the opening and closing lungs, the moving internal organs and the beating hearts.

Looking at the oil pan with blue smoke on it, no one dared to move closer to the village gate. This way of death was too terrifying, which discouraged the killing talents who had seen countless dead people. People have thousands of ways of death, but no one wanted to die like this.

Thousands of people surrounded the military camp and attacked like ants, but except for the corpses, the Wu army gained nothing in one morning's attack. The lieutenant who supervised the battle and the supervising team had killed more than a hundred retreating soldiers, and the heads were arranged in a long line in front of them. The death of those who crossed this line was Xiang Sanqiu's order.

The captain faithfully carried out the general's orders, but the helpless Wu soldiers had to hide in the dead corner below the city wall and never came out again.

Xiang Sanqiu had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and he lost nearly two thousand people in one morning. The number of casualties was unacceptable. Five thousand infantrymen had already lost seven or eight. Now there are less than two thousand people who can fight with crossbowmen, halberd soldiers and sword and shield soldiers.

Xiang Sanqiu was like a helpless tiger, paced irritably in the military formation. The horse whip was waving casually, and the military academies were hiding far away, fearing that this irritable general would be used as an angry bag.

Seeing Wu Jun retreating in a panic, the people on the village wall cheered. Yun Xiao collapsed weakly in the arrow tower, his arms were so sore. This morning he fired no less than a hundred crossbow arrows, and there were twenty or thirty Wu Jun soldiers who shot. This was the day he had killed the most with his own hands in his life. Killing people was also a life of strength, Yun Xiao thought helplessly.

"Old Yuqi counts the losses."

Yun Xiao said weakly.

The result of the damage caused Yun Xiao to suffer a headache, and the Luan family's soldiers were almost completely injured. Only dozens of people could pick up swords and continue fighting, even the Cangxiong Hammer and the Barbarian Bull were scarred. Only a few of the Huns were injured by arrows because they had been inside the military camp, supporting the battle above the city camp with crossbow arrows.

The Yan family's village house suffered a lot of casualties, and the military village was filled with crying from women and children.

The casualties of the Mo family disciples were zero, and the Arrow Tower in the military camp perfectly protected them. Look at how many crossbow arrows were inserted outside the wooden Arrow Tower and you will know how effective this protection is, and how much Wu Jun wanted to kill these guys.

After listening to the report from Yu Lao, Yun Xiao stood up with difficulty. At this time, he had to stand up and cheer everyone up. This 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 bandage the wound with a burlap. He made some promises with the women who wiped tears. Yun Xiao took the eagle to the military camp. Every word and action of his words were seen. Every smile gave these people confidence that they could survive, but the Wu army outside could not enter.

The Luan family soldiers suffered the most casualties because they rushed to the front line. No one complained, because Yunhou's subordinates were fighting desperately. When the cavalry rushed out of the military camp, no one was sure that they could come back. The fire support in the city saved many lives. Yun Xiao comforted the injured Luan family soldiers and personally brought a bowl of rice with pieces of meat to the Luan family soldiers.

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

This soldier was probably only in his teenage years, and there was only a layer of soft fluff on his chin. Yun Xiao touched his head, handed him the rice bowl and walked towards the next person.

"Mr. Yun, can we survive?"

The boy asked with his eyes wide open with desire.

"Believe me, we will survive. Those miscellaneous people can't get in. General Dou's reinforcements have arrived. Let's fuck them together."

"Yeah, fuck them."

The boy smiled with his mouth wide open and swallowed the pork and rice in big mouthfuls.

Stewed with dried pork and vegetables tofu, and eat rice in a large pot casually. Yun Xiao took a bite and added a large spoonful of salt, which made the chef grin.

"Your tastes very much when fighting, so you can't hold on without adding more salt. Your taste is as different as you usually have at home, now."

Yun Xiao patiently warned the chef while using a spoon to melt the salt. At this time, he must be patient, and everyone in the city was watching his every move.

Luan Ling looked at everything in front of her. The scene of grandpa's head being raised yesterday appeared in her mind from time to time. Everything was instinctively instructing her, eating and fighting in a hunch, and watching the marquis comforting her family soldiers.

The rice that Yun Xiaosheng gave her was full of soup, and the fat and thin pieces of meat tasted very good. Luan Ling was like chewing a bite of wax while eating the rice. She didn't know how to swallow it after chewing for a long time.

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

I can’t control your Luan family’s affairs, but if you want to survive, you have to have a meal.”

Luan Ling seemed to have heard it, lowered her head and squeezed her rice into her mouth. When she raised her head, her mouth was full of rice and her face was full of tears. The fat pork made her face dirty like a goose egg. But Luan Ling kept squeezing the rice into her mouth.

Yun Xiao stood up helplessly, and the trauma in his heart was only used to heal it with time.

"Will you avenge me?"

A vague sound came from behind, and Yun Xiao even felt some rice grains being sprayed on him.

"My father died early, and my uncle and brother were not good at it. All the soldiers in the family were brought out by grandfather. Grandpa died and the Luan family was over."

Yun Xiao did not 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. His persistent love for gold led to this huge disaster. Luan Bu had to bear all the responsibility for his death. Sometimes Yun Xiao really didn't know how to face Luan Ling. To a certain extent, Luan Bu was killed by himself.

"I'm still thinking about how to survive and it's more useful."

"If you help me get revenge, I will marry you."
