Chapter 93
: Soldiers should take the lead
How to put out a fire? Normally, it would be a matter of covering it up with sand and soil with a shovel, but now it is under the city gate, and the glutinous rice, gray water and cooked soil are poured into it. After tamping, it becomes hard and white, and I cannot shovel any soil, so I can only take off the fire.
Clothes, beaten everywhere.
For a moment, the people carrying the wooden blocks were changed and they all hit the city gate with all their strength. The people beside them couldn't use their strength, so the people waiting to break into the city gate took off their clothes and started to "crackle" in the flames.
It is difficult to extinguish kerosene, but it can't live in a crowd. What's more, the stones and kerosene on the city wall have been used up.
They just cooperated with each other, and the fire quickly subsided. The people carrying the wooden logs became very energetic and shouted loudly.
There was a sound of "crack" as the bolt inside the city gate broke, and a hole appeared in the tightly-fitted city gate. Cheers suddenly broke out.
Then, the city gate opened with a "dong" sound, followed by a bone-crushing "squeak" sound.
Thirty people worked together to carry the huge log into the city gate, facing the waiting array of spears on the opposite side.
Just as the spear tip was about to pierce them, they saw the figure of a young man passing over the wood like a dragonfly on water, and a falcon flying into the rear of the spear formation!
Turn around and sweep across, wherever the sword touches, you will fall!
"My dear..."
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned for a moment, and silently marveled in their hearts. Then they burst out with greater confidence and courage, shouting loudly, and rushed in swarm...
The city is broken.
…
The rebel flag was cut into rags and flown down from the city wall.
The victorious side begins to clean up the battlefield.
Xie Yuan stepped over the corpses on the ground and pulled out the arrows from the corpses one by one, saving them for cleaning, repair and reuse.
Her face was covered with scorching soot, and the top of her hair was stained with sprayed blood. Now it had dried and hardened, and her hair was sticky and tangled, making it almost impossible to see her original appearance.
But she was just like a child, so she stood out on the battlefield, and anyone could tell at a glance that it was her.
Lao Fang followed her, already holding a bunch of arrows that he had picked up, and kept talking as he walked:
"Don't shoot cold arrows from behind from now on. It's so scary. I'm afraid that one day I won't die in the hands of the enemy, but I'll be accidentally killed by you."
Xie Yuan lowered his head, looking for intact arrows, and said:
"I'm accurate, and I'm so close, so I won't get hurt accidentally."
Lao Fang said anxiously: "Nonsense, how is that possible? The two parties are not like wood when they hit each other. If you take aim, you don't know who it will hit... Then it would be unjust to die in the hands of one of your own people."
Xie Yuan sighed and said, "You don't understand, I can tell you can't..." She stopped suddenly, turned around and looked up at Lao Fang, and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you okay?
Why are you so scared?...Then next time I see someone slashing you, should I save you or not?"
Lao Fang looked into Xie Yuan's sincere eyes and hesitated again. After a while, he said: "Save...save...you find a sure opportunity to save, ah. Today, the arrow passed by just grazing my scalp.
!”
Xie Yuan gave a speechless roll of his eyes, turned around, picked up an arrow from the ground, and said, "The arrows I shot are all very safe."
Lao Fang curled his lips, thinking that the little baby was so young that he had such a loud tone, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't refute anything - it turned out that he was qualified to say this.
So he held his arms and took the arrow handed over by Xie Yuan. Looking at her back, he expressed many emotions and said:
"Hey... people are just different. I have lived for more than half my life and have met a lot of people. This is the first time I have seen someone like you... Hey, let me ask you, why are you not afraid when you go to the battlefield?
What? The good guy rushed so hard."
Xie Yuan said absently: "I want to be a general. If I don't fight or achieve military merit, am I waiting for God to give it to me?"
"Oh... the little kid is sincere, so the military merit is not personal. You are at the back. As long as the team wins and you are the corps leader, isn't that also yours?"
Xie Yuan bent down and pulled out the arrow, kept passing it back to Lao Fang, and said: "You should show off your skills first. Besides, if everyone thinks like you, we will definitely not win."
Lao Fang drooped his brows and had nothing to say. He unconsciously wanted to stroke his beard, but he couldn't move with a bunch of arrows in his hand.
At this moment, someone rode over on horseback, stopped at the city gate, and shouted to Xie Yuan: "Hey!... That young man over there, come here!"
Xie Yuan looked up at the man on the horse, then turned around and looked around, as if he was indeed calling her.
Lao Fang shouted at the man: "...This is our team leader!" Then he whispered to Xie Yuan, "Son, if they bully you because you are young, don't forget to call our brothers in the team.
.”
After hearing this, Xie Yuan felt warm in his heart. He turned to look at Lao Fang and said, "...I understand."
The person on the horse opposite seemed a little reluctant and hesitant. After a while, he changed his words and said: "...Commander the captain, the captain is waiting for you on the campus in the city."
"I know, I'll go right away!" Xie Yuan responded.
The man who gave the order changed his direction and rode away.
Xie Yuan clapped his hands and started to leave, but Lao Fang stopped him and told him: "If he doesn't ask for credit this time, don't fight against others. We are outsiders and they are our own.
You know you can't twist your thigh with your arm?"
When Xie Yuan heard this, he lowered the leg he had just raised. His eyes were cold and he said dissatisfiedly:
"Why don't you take credit for us? We were the ones who charged forward, and we were the main ones who broke open the city gate. It's obvious to everyone. If we fail to do this, who will be willing to charge into battle in the future?!"
Lao Fang coaxed her and said: "Keep your voice down. It's true that you were charging from the front, but their own people rushed with you. The credit must be calculated, of course, to their own people. That's why we followed this
How many days will the camp last?
Don't argue with them about this. If possible, take the opportunity to ask for more tangible benefits, such as cotton-padded clothes, food, etc. It's already the beginning of autumn, and soldiers... winter is not a good time."
Lao Fang seemed to have recalled some bad memories, and he clutched his face so hard that his goatee stood up.
Xie Yuan looked at his expression, was silent for a while, and said: "...I understand."
Then he stepped over the corpse, held the sword at his waist, and ran away at high speed.
When Xie Yuan arrived at the school grounds, there were many prisoners squatting on the grounds, as well as a group of corps commanders and guardsmen from the camp. Although they were all in a state of embarrassment after the battle, none of them were as tragic as Xie Yuan's image.
She was originally small, with the appearance of a little boy. Although she was tall and straight, and walked calmly, she looked like she had just crawled out of the devil's hell. When she walked through the school grounds, she really made those people quiet.
For a moment, his eyes followed her all the way forward.
Xie Yuan walked up to the school captain, knelt down and bowed down, saying: "Xie Yuan, the commander of the Guisi Corps, come here to restore your life."
