Datang New Order

A feather arrow pierced the earth bag, and Zhong Silang, who was struggling forward with the earth bag on his back, staggered with great force, so that he didn't trip and fall to the ground.He quickly gritted his teeth and stabilized his body, rushed to the edge of the moat in one breath, threw the earth bag on his back into the river, and then ran away without looking back. There was only one thought in his mind, the farther away he was from the city. the better!

Another arrow was nailed to the ground less than two steps ahead of him on the left, which frightened Zhong Silang into a daze, and he involuntarily turned to the right.In front is the arrow array of his own Lu Long Army. A row of Lu Long Army soldiers are bending their bows and setting arrows, and under the command of the captain, they are shooting at the head of the city.Looking at the silver ornaments carved on those bows, he suddenly had a strange thought: These bows are really beautiful!

The officer directing the shooting yelled a few words at Zhong Silang, but the surrounding shouts and drums were too noisy, Zhong Silang couldn't hear clearly, and he still rushed over due to the inertia of his feet.The officer roared angrily, drew his sword and gestured to Zhong Silang to move aside, Zhong Silang suddenly woke up from his stupor, and ran back around the arrow array.There was an order before that if he rushed into his own army, the officer could kill him immediately!

Zhong Silang ran to a safe area in fear, then slowly turned back to the base panting heavily, scooped water from the big wooden bucket and poured it down in one gulp, and continued to wait by the mound.The Sword Superintendent team was patrolling back and forth not far away, and more than a dozen corpses had already been laid down at their feet, one of which was Wang Qi of the village.The usually clever young man threw away the earth bag on the way and ran back, but he didn't hide it from the eyes of the knife supervisor, and was dragged out and chopped off his head.Zhong Silang glanced at those strong soldiers in fear, and sighed.

Although Zhong Silang was young, he was short in stature, and was really inconspicuous among the generally tall Yanzhao men, so he was directly assigned to the civilian husband's camp after joining the army.There are thousands of people like him carrying earth bags to fill the river at the east gate alone. They braved the arrow rain on the top of the city and dumped the earth bags into the moat. How deep the river was blocked, forming several wide passages on the moat.

Li Chengzhong sat on the ground in the main formation, the entire battalion of healthy soldiers was outside the range of the city wall covered by the rain of arrows, the brothers looked at everything in front of them, both excited and nervous.Hundreds of civilians had already fallen under the eastern city wall, and some of them were still lying on the ground struggling. The sound of war drums and shouts covered their cries. Li Chengzhong saw their painful expressions with their mouths open, and held their hands tightly. In the end, both fists could only be released weakly.No one has the time to take care of them, and even if they are saved, their injuries cannot be saved in this era.

The sound of the drum suddenly changed, and the cloud car behind it began to move forward.This kind of cloud cart is as high as the city wall, and more than a dozen peasants below are pushing four thick wooden wheels to rotate forward.The cloud car can hold five people, and behind the car is a wooden ladder, which is dragged diagonally backward to the ground, and people can get on at any time.When the cloud chariot was pushed to the front of the formation, the soldiers of each healthy soldier battalion stood up and gathered under the chariot under the command of the Dutou Zhengzheng.

Six cloud chariots were rolled out on the east wall, and six teams were deployed in the front battalion of healthy soldiers, with nearly [-] troops. Li Chengzhong's Youdu was not among them according to the order, and they still sat and waited.

After the deployment of troops, five people went up on the roof of each cloud car, three sword and shield players, two archers, and others surrounded the cloud car and covered the roof with shields to form a shield formation.Several wooden barrels filled with clear water were hoisted onto the cloud cart, and the soldiers on the roof splashed water on the cloud cart, making the entire cloud cart wet.When everything was ready, the army shouted, and the civilians who got off the car pushed the wooden wheel, and the cloud car slowly moved towards the city wall.

The front row of the Lulong Army's arrow array changed another group of soldiers. After this group of fresh troops entered the battle, they fired arrows faster and gradually suppressed the Wei Bo archers at the top of the city.Yunche walked slowly and firmly through the passage filled by the peasants on the moat with their lives, and came directly to the edge of the city.Wei Bo defenders on the city wall immediately fired some rockets and nailed them to the cloud carts, but they did not ignite the cloud carts because they had been poured with water.The cloud car was leaning against the city wall, and the Lulong Saber shield on the top of the car withdrew the shield array in front of it, and jumped into the city wall.

Seeing their brothers climbed the city wall, Lu Long's soldiers shouted excitedly at the same time, the sound shook the whole field, and the drums beat even tighter.The brothers in Li Chengzhong's army couldn't sit still anymore, and everyone got up one after another, staring at the city wall.

I saw that the sword and shield hands who climbed the city wall first jumped onto the top of the city, and the top of the city suddenly became noisy and chaotic.Li Chengzhong couldn't see the situation above clearly, but he saw the brothers under the cloud cart climbed to the top of the cloud cart one after another through the wooden ladder, and then jumped into the city one by one.Immediately, cheers came from all over the army formations of the Lu Long Army, and seeing the order flags waved in the rear, Du Zhongyan asked everyone to form a team, and then quickly marched down the city, preparing to enter the city to fight.

Li Chengzhong followed his team to the third cloud car under the city, seeing that the previous group of brothers had all jumped into the city, Zhang Zhongyan waved his hand and let everyone get on the cloud car.Li Chengzhong pulled out a shiny horizontal knife from the scabbard, and was about to climb up the wooden ladder.After the capture of Beizhou, a batch of new horizontal knives were seized from the treasury of Beizhou, and some of the equipment was given priority to replace some of the equipment for the battalion of soldiers with insufficient armor. Li Chengzhong, as the newly promoted deputy lieutenant, also got a knife The horizontal knife in the sheath is much stronger than the previous one.

As soon as he took a few steps, he saw more than a dozen black pottery pots flying out of the city. He was stunned for a moment, and some of these pottery pots hit the cloud cart and shattered, creating a choking smell of oil. The smell rushed straight into his nostrils.He was so terrified that he didn't care about going up the ladder again, and jumped down, shouting: "Back! Back! Oil tank! It's the oil tank!"

Zhang Zhongyan was shocked when he heard this, he waved his hands to make everyone retreat, but in the chaos, dozens of people crowded in front of the cloud car, there was no way to retreat.I saw a few torches thrown on the city wall, and Yunche burst into flames in the blink of an eye!Some oil tanks that hadn't hit the cloud car fell to the ground, and the oil splashed all over the floor, and a fire broke out in the city.

Thanks to Li Chengzhong, who watched a lot of costume dramas before time travel. He reacted quickly to such emergencies and made early predictions, so he had sufficient advances in responding. When the fire ignited, he had already dragged Jiang Miao out of the flames range.But the dozen or so peasants who supported the cart under the cloud cart and the dozen or so brothers in Bendu who hadn't had time to escape all turned into burning men, crying and rolling on the ground like headless chickens.

Fortunately, the archers of the Lu Long Army under the city were more successful in suppressing them, and the remaining Lu Long Army did not suffer many casualties when they evacuated from the city.Everyone looked back and saw that the six cloud chariots were ignited with raging flames, and even many areas under the city wall were burned into a fire dragon. Countless Lulong soldiers who had not had time to withdraw were buried in this fire.

Such a tragic situation was staged in front of everyone, and everyone was too shocked to speak.Many of those crying firemen are brothers who have known each other for a long time. Although most of them don't know their names, they have sang together, shouted together, fought together, drank together, But now there is an eternal separation between man and nature, and everyone feels extremely uncomfortable.

In addition to causing casualties and injuries to the soldiers who followed up the attack, the fire under the city completely burned down the six cloud vehicles. Not only the vehicles were burned, but also the escape route of the three hundred soldiers from the battalion on the city wall was cut off!Now those three hundred brothers are still fighting on the top of the city, but there is no response, and they can't withdraw, what should they do?

Everyone could only jump around the city in panic, watching the three hundred Lu Longjun brothers at the top of the city fighting alone through the fire, but they were helpless.

When the fire below the city gradually weakened, the fighting on the top of the city gradually stopped.After a while, hundreds of brothers Lu Longjun's corpses were thrown from the top of the city wall. Wei Bojun returned to the wall, pointing at Lu Longjun below the city wall, laughing and cursing.

The sound of Ming Jin came from the back of the formation, Zhang Zhongyan helplessly ordered everyone to retreat.This defeat dealt a heavy blow to morale, and everyone felt unhappy and returned to the formation dejectedly.

The first siege failed, and Lu Long's army suffered heavy losses.During the offensive on the eastern city wall alone, six or seven hundred brothers from the Jianzhu battalion were turned in, not including hundreds of civilian husbands.Of course, the east city is the main direction of Lu Longjun's attack today, and the other aspects are just to cooperate with each other. The damage is not that big, but it adds up to nearly a thousand.

In the next few days, Lu Long's army continued to intensify their attack on the city. They made two main attacks on the east city, and once each on the west city and the north city, but they were all unsuccessful.A full camp of wounded soldiers has a great impact on morale. Limited to the simple medical conditions and very few medical staff, those soldiers who were wounded in their vital parts basically had no choice but to die helplessly, or were directly abandoned by the doctor, or When the pain was unbearable, he begged the brothers around him to make up for him.Even many soldiers who were shot with arrows in their legs and arms could only get the same fate. Most of their symptoms were very simple-fever, but in the face of such injuries, the medical conditions at this time were helpless.

Only those soldiers who were not seriously injured or outstanding officers could be treated.For example, Ren Dutou, who was seriously injured in the waist and abdomen, received Zhou Zhiyu's key care because of the generation of family generals, and sent a special car to drive him back to Youzhou.Of course, Ren Dutou still has to go through a hell - if the injury gets worse on the way, he is still dead.From Li Chengzhong's point of view, with Ren Du's head injury, Commander Zhou Zhiyu was just doing his best.

Li Chengzhong saw with his own eyes many injured brothers screaming in pain while being treated by doctors, which made him break out in cold sweat.The simple and crude method of diagnosis and treatment made Li Chengzhong's teeth ache.The process is roughly like this: several people went up to hold down the hands and feet, and tied the injured soldiers firmly to the wooden board. The doctor used a burnt knife to forcibly gouged out the rotten flesh on the wound, and then applied the herbal medicine boiled like mud. , Simply wrap it up with a piece of cloth, and you're done.Then two days later, when the wound rotted again, the doctor continued to operate.

Only those with tenacious vitality can survive this kind of suffering, and then compete with God for character. If they don't have a fever or the fever subsides quickly, they can live, otherwise, they will still die.

After all, they are brothers who have fought and lived together. According to Li Chengzhong's understanding, these people are his comrades in arms.Whether it is before or after crossing, the life in the military camp is a big melting pot, which can affect a person's mood to the greatest extent.During this period of time, he has already unknowingly blended into Lu Longjun's atmosphere, and the laughter and cursing of the brothers around him have subtly affected him, making him regard himself as a Yandi person through and through.When someone asked about his background, he would pat his chest and say loudly: "A certain was born in Gu'an and grew up in Fanyang! A certain is from Youzhou!" When encountering happy things, he would cheer loudly with his brothers and encounter setbacks When he was fighting, he would sigh in frustration with his brothers. He would be excited by the magnificence and might of Lu Long's army, and he would also worry about the progress of the battle.

Therefore, Li Chengzhong could not face everything in front of him detachedly with the mentality of a time traveler. He tried his best to help these injured brothers.The former battalion he was in had also been severely damaged in the battles of the past few days. Only half of the more than 60 brothers before the war can still walk, but the recovery rate of wounded soldiers is higher than that of other countries. It is higher, thanks to Li Chengzhong's help and timely awakening.All he could do was to boil the cloth in boiling water for a quarter of an hour before bandaging the wound.Because of this process, Youdu survived at least ten more brothers.

He really wanted to promote this method in the whole army, but he couldn't explain such things as microbes and bacteria to others. Even Dou Zhang Zhongyan valued his good performance in the capital, so he was skeptical Try this method.To be honest, Zhang Zhongyan is not sure whether those brothers who survived really benefited from this. As for persuading other troops, and even reporting to the commander Zhou Zhiyu, Zhang Zhongyan is not so bold. It is related to the lives of countless brothers. I can't afford this responsibility.
