This night was the most tense night for everyone in the city after the rebels came to the city, and it was also the quietest night after the rebels came to the city.
Dagger novels Without the movement of the rebels who were clamoring for a few hours, without the desperate screams of the people who died by the moat, it seemed that there were two worlds outside the city and inside the city, one extremely quiet and the other extremely moving.
The rebels outside the city have been very quiet, a little strangely quiet, but the city is the busiest and tense night in the past ten days, the torches at the head of the city, not separated by more than ten or twenty steps, one is burning, and from time to time there are archers, shooting arrows one by one into the dark night soaked in fire oil.
The late season of this kind is too dark, even if the city is brightly lit, dozens of steps and more than 100 steps away, it is pitch black, this burning rocket, in the night sky through the trajectory, and then quickly fell to the ground and was swallowed by the night, in this short time from volley to land, the soldiers at the head of the city, must puff up their eyes, work hard in the night, looking for any suspicious traces, early detection of the enemy means that there is more time to prepare to deal with, but also means that they are in this big battle, There will be a little more chance of survival.
No one will slack off in this kind of thing.
The generals took their own soldiers, almost every half an hour in their own responsibility of the city head to inspect again, the layout of the city head, is the general Dingyuan personally arranged, from the command to thousands of households to hundreds of households, to every ordinary officer and soldier, as long as they stand at the head of the city, each of them knows their position, knows that they should be responsible for which piece, and also knows what will happen to their relatives in the city if their own piece is broken by the enemy, and what will happen to their relatives in the city.
"Have you ever killed anyone, Uncle Liu?"
Behind a certain section of the wall, a certain soldier, a young man with a somewhat pale face, and an old soldier leaned against the wall, talking in a low voice, and at the battlement of the wall above them, their captain was chasing the flying rocket in the air.
The old pawn was carefully wrapping the strips of cloth over and over again with his own hands, and when he heard the young man's question, he grinned, and a mouthful of big yellow teeth was in the firelight, which was particularly eye-catching.
"Why, Gua Wazi, cowardly, being a soldier and eating food, when you encounter this kind of thing, it is not killing people or being killed, if you have the leisure time to ponder this, it is better to follow Uncle Xuexue, get some strips of cloth and wrap your hands down" "It's not that I'm afraid, it's a little nervous" The young man seemed to be afraid of being looked down upon by the old pawn, and immediately retorted, "The Shenwu cannon that hasn't been opened for so many days has also faded its cannon coat today, with such an artifact by my side, what am I afraid of?"
"You think this is a good thing" The old man wrapped his hand unhurriedly, "If there is extra cloth, you might as well get two, when you see the official's order to open fire, you quickly stuff the cloth ball into your ears, I have seen your own people who were shocked to death, not one or two, I don't know how many deaf" The old pawn said casually, but the young man's face became solemn, when the war came, just like his uncle's pawn, he would never use this kind of thing to trick himself, this kind of experience must be the experience he got after experiencing the war, for him, a person who has never been on the battlefield, perhaps, this experience can save his life.
"Thank you Uncle Liu, I remembered Uncle Liu's words" The young man nodded, "What is the importance of this hand-wrapped cloth strip, is it afraid of sweaty palms?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of sweating, I'm afraid of bleeding" The old man glanced at him lightly, "Whether it's your own blood or someone else's blood, as long as you use the spear in your hand to stab someone to death, it is possible to flow down the barrel of the gun to your hand, if the spear is too slippery, you can't hold it, the enemy opposite you will not wait for you to pick up the slippery weapon and then come to fight, when it comes to life and death, slow down, life is gone." ” The boy nodded solemnly, tore a strip of cloth from the hem of his shirt, tore it with his teeth, and wound it one by one, like an old pawn.
This kind of situation, in various places in the city, keeps playing, the defenders in the city are the old and weak remnants, but the old and weak remnants also have the benefits of the old and weak remnants, that is the old has enough experience and battlefield wisdom, if the young can overcome the initial timidity, they will also become brave, with the help of these old soldiers, these teenagers may explode far beyond their previous combat effectiveness, and after this battle, if these teenagers do not die, even if they are young, they have become veterans, Any soldier who survives after a battle on the battlefield is a precious veteran.
The attack was launched when the sky was just dark, this hour is the most tired and lax time for people's physiology, like a taut bowstring, after a night of tension, seeing that the sky will be bright, the defenders will subconsciously feel that although this night today is quiet and weird, but finally safely passed, and once the body that has been on high alert is relaxed, the whole person also begins to feel tired and sleepy.
The rockets that were fired from the city stopped firing after dawn, and the exhausted archers, even rubbing their aching arms, were ready to walk down the city for a steaming breakfast and a good night's sleep.
The rebels rushed out of the morning fog like a group of demons rushing out of the morning mist, shouting words that even the natives of Guizhou at the head of the city could not understand, and rushed out of the morning fog with red eyes one by one.
"Enemy Attack" The terrible screams, accompanied by the hurried sound of gongs, sounded wildly at the head of the city, whether it was spiritual, or tired, whether brave or timid, at this moment, they could not resist, driven by the order, picked up the weapons around them, pounced on the city, and prepared for this and the last battle of their lives.
"My lord, it seems that the people in front of you are not the rebels, but the people who were coerced a few days ago."
The officer of the artillery team sent a signal to Zhang Dusi, who was standing at the head of the city with red eyes, "Is the Shenwu cannon going to fire?"
Zhang Kai looked at the enemies surging under the city, and his face was grim, "The city is full of rebels, how can the people say, let the artillery team wait first, these people are not opponents, it is not worth firing for them" The artillery team was quiet, and all the defenders at the head of the city were also watching the enemy who was frantically rushing towards their feet, standing on the high city wall, watching the crowd that seemed to be ants, pounced at their feet, and then the arrows of the archers fell one by one, and the boiling oil and poisonous water at the head of the city made a burst of screams, at this moment, the city was like a hell on earth. aa2705221 t1706231537:
