Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 54 Going to the City

The servants were stunned and did not dare to eat. How could they usually eat steamed buns with pure noodles?

This is a good thing that can only be eaten by horse soldiers.

They can usually share a mixed flour pancake a day and dig some grass roots and soil to make do with it. It is a good life that they dare not think of.

The more clever servant thought that eating so well before going to the city might not be his last meal, and his legs trembled.

"Even if you die, you must be a dead man!"

One of the servants suddenly rushed forward, grabbed his hands full of steamed buns and stuffed them into his mouth. With the leader in the lead, the other servants rushed forward to grab the steamed buns.

Yes, there is an upper city on the left and right, and it would be too humiliating to die as a starving ghost.

Suddenly, there was a rush of people, and all the steamed buns in several baskets were snatched away, and there was the sound of people gobbling them down.

There were also servants who secretly stuffed steamed buns into their clothes, thinking that they would eat them slowly after they got back to the city.

Pan Furong and the cavalry did not stop them.

They didn't eat steamed buns either. They were not hungry on weekdays, so this was enough.

It’s just that everyone is riding their horses and looking anxiously in the direction of the city wall.

There, the Chuangzi flag has been erected under the city wall, and a group of elite horse soldiers can be seen guarding Chuang Potian.

There was a row of spears stuck in the clearing, with heads pierced through them.

Most of these dead heads had flesh on their faces, and some even had bulging temples.

At first glance, it seems that they are not just some casual servants. They are at least experienced infantrymen, and there are even experts who have entered martial arts. They should be the leaders of these infantrymen.

Even the head of the infantry leader was hung up, you can imagine how tense the war was.

The female camp sentry and these people are about to go, can they withstand it?

Suddenly, a gong sounded.

There were dozens of remnant soldiers retreating along the stone stairs on the city wall. All of them were wounded, and their cotton armor had marks of being stabbed by knives and spears. They looked tired and walked slowly, as if they were out of strength.

The leader had a broken arm, blood was still flowing down, and his eyes were numb.

The remnant soldiers retreated and were guided by a flag to other places to bandage, eat, and rest.

Lu Ye frowned. At first glance, these people were not the parallel importers he led. They were all foot soldiers who had been fighting for a long time, but they were beaten into such a miserable state.

An orderly soldier rode up to Pan Furong, dismounted, knelt down and said - On King Chuang's order, the female battalion's infantry sentry sent into battle, and the horse sentry sentry served as reinforcements. They must persist until the next gong sounds before they can all leave the city.

Everyone's hearts sank. It seemed that the war ahead was not optimistic.

Pan Furong looked at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye pulled out his long knife and set off with a sharp shout.

The slaves hurriedly jumped up and formed a team, their mouths and cheeks still bulging, chewing big mouthfuls, trying their best to swallow the steamed buns.

But there was that servant who was still squatting on the ground eating steamed buns without paying any attention to him.

brush!

Lu Ye swung the sword from his horse's waist, and there was an unknown corpse on the ground. The round head fell off in a circle, and half a steamed bun was still biting in his mouth.

Many servants were so frightened that their necks shrank.

Lu Ye's cold gaze swept over the servants.

"Advance and retreat, follow orders. Those who disobey orders, this is what will happen!"

"Anyone who climbs the city wall and retreats without permission will be killed without mercy!"

This move to scare the monkeys clearly frightened the remaining servants. They lined up honestly and ran towards the city wall.

After walking around a few buildings, the view suddenly opened up.

I saw a mountain of corpses piled up like a hill at the base of the city wall, and there were soldiers working together on top of the city wall, throwing down a corpse from time to time.

There were more than a dozen carriages parked under the wall, and some servants came forward and piled the corpses on the carriage indiscriminately.

Some people were seriously injured and could still breathe, but they were roughly thrown into the car and piled with the dead bodies and taken away.

As Lu Ye was walking with the team, he could hear the teeth chattering and even faint crying of the servants behind him. He turned his head and glanced sharply.

Immediately all the sounds disappeared, but everyone's eyes were frightened and their legs were trembling.

After bypassing the pile of corpses, there is the stone staircase leading up to the city. The shouts of death in the city have disappeared. It must be that the refugee army has repelled a wave of attacks by the officers and soldiers.

The stone stairs were covered with blood and were extremely slippery to step on. Some servants fell down from time to time and rolled over covered in blood. Then they got up in a hurry. Before they could go into battle, a group of people were covered in blood.

Lu Ye looked back and found that behind Xieyang, Pan Furong led the horse team and abandoned their horses and followed them to hold the battle for them.

This time, the orders of the Breakthrough Army were extremely strict, and the entire female camp was forced to go to the city.

He stopped thinking about it and took two steps.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he crossed the mottled city bricks and climbed onto the city wall.

At the top of the city, there was a shallow pool of blood on the bluestone floor. When you step on it with iron boots, blood will splash, as if you were walking in red rain.

There were many broken limbs and pieces of meat piled up in the pool of blood, and no one bothered to clean them up.

There were dozens of soldiers on the city wall divided into two groups.

Some people hid behind the female wall and looked out to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers, while the rest threw corpses under the city. Otherwise, there would be obstacles everywhere on the city wall, and there would be no place to stay.

Lu Ye leaned against the wall and looked out of the city.

No wonder these soldiers threw the corpses into the city.

Under the city, the corpses of the refugees who were almost killed by the officers and soldiers yesterday were piled up almost half a foot high, forming a mountain of flesh surrounding the city. In addition, today's officers and soldiers attacked the city, and there were many more corpses.

If the corpses on the top of the city were thrown outside the city, I am afraid that if the officers and soldiers fight a few more times, the masters would be able to jump directly to the top of the city without using a long ladder.

Further outside is the camp outside the East City Gate.

The Tangzhou cavalry and the Dongsai army blocked the city gate and each set up a camp, forming a horns-like situation. Of course, it may be that they did not trust each other, so they did not join forces.

Outside the two camps, officers and soldiers were lined up in several formations.

The Tangzhou cavalry had more infantry and fewer infantry, while the Dongsaifu army had more infantry and fewer cavalry. Both sides were clearly separated in their respective formations. There were messengers riding between the two formations, apparently conveying news and coordinating the next attack.

Lu Ye caught one person and pointed at the corpse under the city and asked.

"Why not burn these bodies?"

The man saw that Lu Ye was wearing iron armor and looked like a leader, so he replied respectfully.

"Master, it's burning. It's not that I don't want to burn it. There's not enough fire oil in the city. If you throw the torch down, it won't light at all. There's too much blood underneath."

"It just happened to be lit on fire, and the officers and soldiers put it out."

Pan Furong came over at this time, glanced down, and said with disgust on her face.

"Granny, give me a good beating and a good kill."

"This time, I'm here to hold you back. Why are the Tangzhou cavalry boasting about their awesomeness? I don't believe they have three heads and six arms. How can they be stronger than our cavalry?"

Lu Ye smiled bitterly and could only nod.

Miss, I'm afraid you are wrong.

From the day that the Tangzhou Iron Cavalry could be divided into ten teams to attack in turns, and the formations were orderly and solemn, we knew that they must be elites. Although they only recognized money in their eyes, the sword was definitely not fake.

The cavalry soldiers of the refugee army are still young and may not be their opponents.

At this time, the horn sounded.

In the formation of officers and soldiers, a group of infantry and cavalry mixed together, shouted and rushed towards the tower.

Long ladders were put up on the city wall, and the infantry climbed up at the risk of their lives. The cavalry galloped under the city, shooting waves of fast arrows from their riding bows, almost plowing the city head.
