Chapter 140: Promotion
Hu Shier was thrusting against a soldier's body, and Hu Shier screamed like a beast, holding a feather arrow in his hand, constantly poking the soldier's neck under him, and poking around the door. Every time he went down, clusters of blood were storming out. The soldier's body struggled to twist a few times at first, but under such a critical hit, he was killed instantly, but Hu Shier suddenly realized that he was still mechanically inserted.
It was not until an officer came over and slapped him that he woke up. Looking at the Zhenwu armored soldier beneath him, he had already become unrecognizable and turned into a bloody ball of meat.
The whole afternoon of fierce battle made Hu Shier truly understand what it means to wander on the edge of death at any time. There were only two people standing at this time with his ten subordinates. The other eight, a strand of souls, were probably named by King Yama at this moment.
Only one of the eight dead people was killed by stones in the morning, and the remaining seven were killed by soldiers in the battle of Xia Qian.
Hu Shier truly realized the power of the armored soldiers. With one knife, the other party twisted his body, and the sword slid away with a spark, but it left a scratch on the armor. When the other party came over, one of them fell down immediately.
The fighting skills of the two sides are much different.
During this fight, Hu Shier no longer dared to keep it at all.
After investigation, two soldiers fell down in the area where he was responsible. The last one made Hu Shier so lose his composure was that the other party was a little short of Hu Shier to meet the King of Hell. If it weren't for the flash of inspiration at the moment of life and death, Hu Shier would have turned into a cold corpse now.
How can you die?
I still have ambitions that are not fulfilled!
In the falling night, the Zhenwu Army retreated like a tide.
The first day finally got through.
For city defenders, the first day is actually the most difficult.
Because the first day will be the time when the enemy attacks the most fiercely and the moment when the enemy is most energetic. The further down the road, both sides will fall into a state of numbness, mechanical siege and mechanical defense.
For Li Anguo and others who were guarding Shenzhou, after the first day, their hope of defending the city increased greatly.
There were too few soldiers in Shenzhou City, and the hundreds who fled back with Suning were less than two thousand. After being allocated to each section of the city wall, it seemed even more sparse, not to mention that teams like Wolf Cavalry cannot be used scatteredly.
The main force defending the city is the palace soldiers.
The most serious casualties were the soldiers in the palace.
The officer who slapped Hu Shier was the one whom Hu Shier had seen at noon. There were several broken places on his armor, and dark red spots, big or small, could be seen everywhere on his body. Obviously, the man was fighting on the front line throughout the afternoon.
"No, not bad." The officer looked at Hu Shier, who was still riding on Zhenwu's armored soldiers: "It's a man, eight people died, but he could kill two soldiers. Do you still remember what Du Bei said at noon?"
Hu Shier shook his head, his mind was blank at this moment, and he could think of other things.
"Du Biejia said that as long as you can survive, you will be promoted to the governor of the garrison!" The officer smiled and said, "Since you are still alive, you will naturally be governor of the governor. The armor on this armorer is good, and you will be rewarded. The other one is your spoil, and you will be able to lead a governor soon."
Hu Shier finally realized that he was promoted. As expected, he was still promoted quickly during the war. In a day, he took a big step forward.
To put it bluntly, the position of Shi Chang was still a soldier, but the garrison leader was a strong officer. He had 150 people under his command.
Hu Shier immediately threw the trace of regret that had risen in his mind before to the sky.
value!
Dinner was still white flour buns and broth, and everyone also gave me a bowl of wine. Although Hu Shier still felt sour when drinking, at this time, only a little bit of wine smell was enough to stimulate people's nerves.
The officer was very efficient in his work. Shortly after dinner, Hu Shier's 150 people were all in place, and the city wall he was in charge also changed from less than five meters long to fifty meters long.
After an afternoon of fierce battle, three camp leaders, one Qu chief, and more than a hundred soldiers were killed on the city wall where Hu Shier was located. If the injured were included, it would be difficult to count.
Hu Shier, wearing armor, looked much more majestic. He was really happy to see the 150 soldiers gathered in front of him. These people have experienced a test of life and death. Even if they only have only one day of work, they are almost completely reborn.
The experience gained between life and death is engraved in the bones. When they encounter the same situation next time, they will subconsciously make actions or reactions that will be able to save their lives as much as possible.
I am the governor of the village and have 150 subordinates, and of course my hope of saving my life has increased greatly.
Only by saving your life can you achieve success.
Among the 150 people, he unexpectedly saw several of his subordinates. Those who followed him to Shenzhou had undergone some training. In terms of fighting and life saving, of course, there were more people than other ordinary soldiers, so it was not surprising that they could survive. Hu Shier gave them a knowing smile.
After a series of routine operations, the newly formed treasury was finally settled. Now the new group of soldiers on duty above the city walls were already considered experienced soldiers and were arranged to return to the temporary barracks to rest. One hundred and fifty people were stuffed into two large rooms, crowded and crowded, but these people were too tired and almost fell asleep.
The on-duty personnel arranged by Hu Shier were of course their own subordinates. After a brief loss of contact, they are now gathered together.
I sent a person back to my yard and took out the short crossbows I had hidden before. I didn't dare to take it out earlier, but it would be different now. If someone asked about it, it could be said that it was a seizure on the battlefield. Whether it was the Chengde Army or the Zhenwu Army, everyone was the Tang army, and the weapons standards were exactly the same, so I could just pass it over. These short crossbows were all good things to save lives.
That night, Hu Shier finally slept well.
But the governor's mansion is still brightly lit.
Li Anguo looked at the casualties counted below, and the roughly killed enemies, but his brows frowned even deeper. However, in one afternoon of fierce battle, more than 500 people were killed in the city and injured more than 1,000 people. This ratio was too high. It was almost one-to-one exchange ratio with the enemy who attacked the city.
Such a loss ratio of war can be said to be a failure for the defending party.
"After all, most of them are the soldiers of the palace, and some are not even the soldiers of the government, just ordinary farmers and vendors, and many of them are over 50 years old. The survival of the fittest should be better as possible." Gongsun Changming comforted.
"We have too few soldiers. If Wang Feng goes all out next and does not hesitate to attack the soldiers' casualties, our casualties will be even greater." Li Anguo pinched his brows, "What I am more worried about is that he fights with Wang Feng too fiercely. After Lu Long's army comes, we will no longer have enough strength."
"Don't worry, the Jiedushi. Wang Feng is not a fool. Even if he surrenders to Zhang Zhongwu, he will not take out his old fortune and fight to the death. He has thousands of soldiers under the city, but there are less than a thousand fights today." Gongsun Changming sneered: "He is also afraid that he will fight too much and be swallowed by Zhang Zhongwu even the belt bones! If Lu Long's army does not come, the intensity of the war will only be lower than today, and will not be higher."
"I hope so!" Li Anguo nodded: "This way we can hold on for a longer time, so that reinforcements from Yizhou and Zhenzhou can arrive in time. Now Wang Feng's main force is concentrated here. When Anmin enters the jurisdiction of Zhenwu Army, I want to see if Wang Feng can still stay safe under the city of Shenzhou."
"The key is to see where Gao Pian from Hedong can launch an attack in time, so that Lu Long can no longer mobilize troops from us." Gongsun Changming said.
The two were talking, but You Yong trotted all the way with excitement on his face.
"Jings are handsome, Jis are handsome. Someone from Yizhou is here."
Both Li Anguo and Gongsun Changming looked surprised.
"Governor Cao has gathered 20,000 troops and set out from Lexiang three days ago. He sent an envoy to ask us to send troops to pick him up tomorrow so that he can enter the city smoothly." You Yong said loudly.
"Can it be the enemy's trick?" Li Anguo and Gongsun Changming said in unison: "How could it be so fast?"
Re-gathering troops and preparing food and grass is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Li Anguo's most optimistic estimate is that he will have to support him for half a month to a month, but Cao Xin actually gathered 20,000 troops in a few days to support him, which is really hard to believe.
"The person who came was the personal guard next to the governor Cao, and the old man, I recognized him." You Yong said: "I also asked the governor Cao why he was so fast? He said that after the governor Cao returned to Yizhou, he gathered 20,000 troops in the palace, prepared the corresponding food and grass, and set up the station in Lexiang, so when something happened in Shenzhou, they could come so quickly."
Li Anguo and Gongsun Changming looked at each other and saw an uneasy look in each other's eyes. After returning from Shenzhou, they began to gather troops. Thinking of the unpleasantness of the past, they had to give people some other thoughts.
"No matter what, I believe in Cao Xin." After a while, Li Anguo said slowly.
"I believe him too. When he comes, ask in person!" Gongsun Changming said.
