Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 60 The Unmade Arrow Branch
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The township warriors who were responsible for filling the river rushed forward screaming, venting their inner fear through roaring.Arrows are raining down in front of them, although they are not accurate, but they can't stand the volume!Every time the river is filled, there are always dozens of unlucky people who are shot by bows and arrows.Those who were lucky and didn't hit the vitals could escape with their lives, while those who were unlucky were shot to the ground, either dying or wailing continuously.

In fact, these village braves are very unwilling to do this job, but it is not up to them to choose whether they want to go up or not.Most of them are the sons of rich families in the city, and their wealth and lives are controlled by the masters.Not for themselves, but for their family members, they have to grit their teeth, or they will lose their lives.It is a good deal to lose one's own life and save a few lives in the family, not to mention that even if he retreats, how can he escape the knife of the supervising team?

Therefore, these township braves all put their hearts on the line, gritted their teeth and rushed forward, silently praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, if they can escape their lives, they will continue to burn incense in the future.Some timid eyes were closed, but they accidentally strayed and bumped into their own family members.

This scene made some regiments defending the city wall laugh.It's just that they stopped laughing soon, and some of the Green Battalion soldiers who followed up the formation mixed with the villagers, rushed to the moat and immediately took bows and arrows.Afterwards, more than a dozen Tuan Ding whose bodies were exposed outside the parapet screamed and fell to the top of the wall.

The bows and arrows of these fake Tartars made all the regiment members feel nervous and sweated.

"That's fucking accurate!"

So, the panic-stricken regiment members all hid behind the female wall, and no one wanted to show their heads.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tartar warriors quickened their pace, pouring bags of soil into the moat, and saw the moat getting narrower and narrower.

At this time, all the chiefs of the security regiment began to drink and curse.

"You silly donkey! Why are you hiding? Are you waiting for the Tartars to come and chop you up?"

"Stand up, all of you motherfuckers stand up for me!"

"Quick! Shoot the damn thing! Shoot the arrows at the front man! I'm not happy to see him!"

So, amidst the shouting and cursing of the chiefs, the regiment members poked their heads out tremblingly, and shot the bows and arrows in their hands indiscriminately.

It's just that most bows and arrows are crudely made, and the arrows are all sharpened wood.Therefore, most of them were blocked by the armor of those archers.Only a few lucky ones hit the enemy's face, making the green camp archers lose their combat effectiveness.

The small and medium team leaders saw that their own bows and arrows did too little damage to armored enemies, so they changed their targets one after another, and shot all the arrows at the civilian-clothed Tian He Xiangyong.

As a result, this has inspired the madness of these green battalion archers.Seeing that the bows and arrows of the security team did not do much harm to them, they stopped avoiding them and just stood straight by the river, shooting arrows non-stop.

Standing at the top of the city, Qiu Tianxing saw the enemy's rampant behavior, and hurriedly asked the regiment members to replace them with a batch of bows and arrows made of iron arrows, and finally suppressed the momentum.

In such a short time, the security team had nearly a hundred casualties.This is still defending the city, but the casualties are greater than those who attacked the city.

After learning about the comparison of casualties between the two sides, Qiu Tianxing's expression turned ugly.

It seems that recruits are recruits, and even defending the city cannot conceal their lack of combat experience. They don't know when to dodge and when to fight back, and as a result, many times they stand there in vain and act as arrow targets.

In addition, many captains of the very long squad also performed poorly.Many of them either forgot their duties as low-level officers and only focused on shooting arrows to their death.Or they issued many contradictory orders in a flash, so that the regiments under them did not know which order to obey.

Seeing all this in Qiu Tianxing's eyes, he was very anxious.He knew that these were recruits, and it would be nice if there were more battles in the future.But at this time the Tartars are already approaching the city, will they give themselves time?

Just when Qiu Tianxing's heart was turning a thousand times, the Tazi's warriors from the village of filling the river stepped forward one after another.Soon, the moat will be filled.And because of the harassment of some green battalion archers, these village braves only suffered one or two hundred casualties.

This made Qiu Tianxing very disappointed. He originally expected that this moat could cause thousands of casualties to the enemy.It's just that war is like this. No matter how good the plan is, the enemy will not act according to his wishes.There are always variables in war.

Without the containment of the moat, this battle will be difficult to fight, and the next step will be to rely on human life.Defending the city is not only fighting for soldiers, equipment and food, but also fighting for determination.With the determination to see death as home, the strength of a civilian husband is not inferior to that of a capable soldier.In the face of the knife that is being cut, you can not avoid it, and the behavior of jumping off the city wall with the enemy in your arms is very morale-boosting.

In less than an hour, the moat was finally filled, and the panting village warriors could finally retreat to the back to rest.

A group of green battalion soldiers stood in front of the army carrying ladders, waiting for orders.

At this time, the drum beat suddenly increased, and the flag was waved a few times.The green camp soldier carrying the ladder let out a cry, and then rushed towards the city wall.

Outside the south gate of Yingshan County, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing.The killing sound was like an aura, and before the person arrived, the aura had already continuously impacted on the hearts of the regiment members.

Soon, the ladder was placed on the three-foot-high city wall, and the green battalion soldiers quickly climbed the ladder and charged towards the top of the city with sharp knives in their mouths.

"Quick! Quick! Throw down these ladders!" The officers of the security regiment shouted anxiously.

But because these ladders are slightly shorter than the city wall, people standing at the top of the city have to bend over to reach them.But the enemy was not affected, they stood on the last ladder just enough to reach the city wall, with a little strength in their hands, and with a light jump, they could jump onto the city wall.

Seeing that they could not push the ladder, the officers hurriedly ordered to pour down the whole pot of boiled golden juice.The Green Battalion soldiers who were doused all over their faces suddenly started howling like ghosts and wolves. The hot golden juice cooked their hot meat, and some of their faces were cracked open, exposing their bones.Many fell to the ground, howling, some of them dying instantly, some of them temporarily, but eventually the wounds were infected.

The golden juice is indeed a sharp weapon for defending the city, but it takes time to boil it, and the unheated golden juice is as harmless as cold water.After a while, the boiling golden juice ran out, and the green camp soldiers who were lucky enough not to be splashed continued to climb up.The defense of the city has entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

The battlefield is a very strange place. Under the influence of a certain atmosphere, that is, as the saying goes, some cowardly people will turn into brave fighters and fight the enemy endlessly.

Under the leadership of the grassroots officers, the regiment members took their spears and stabbed down fiercely, and some green battalion soldiers who had nowhere to hide would be unlucky to be poked down.But at the same time, these brave regiments will also be attacked by the archers in the city. From time to time, the exposed regiments will be shot by bows and arrows and fall outside the city.

Other temporarily recruited civilian husbands hid behind the parapet, throwing rolling logs and stones, and from time to time, some green battalion soldiers were hit by stones, crying in pain.

Song Jilin stood outside the moat, looking at the battle on the city wall, he was very surprised.

He originally thought that the bandits would be vulnerable, as soon as his army arrived, they would open their doors and accept surrender.Unexpectedly, these gangsters have such a strong sense of fighting.Although their weapons are crude, even the arrows have no iron heads.But they just relied on the heap of human lives, so that their own team did not even attack the city for a while.Of course, this is also related to one's own carelessness and underestimation of the enemy.As soon as they arrived at Yingshan, the army did not rest and the siege equipment was not built on the spot, so they rushed to attack the city, causing the soldiers under their command to suffer losses in vain.

At this time, Song Jilin decided in his heart that this attack was a feint.Wait for the team to rest and reorganize in the next day, and then attack after the equipment is built, so that the loss will be smaller.The group bandits still have two brushes, so it's better to treat them with caution.

Just when Song Jilin was calculating the gains and losses in his mind, suddenly several green battalion soldiers attacked the city.It turned out that after the gold juice was used up, a ferocious-looking green battalion soldier dodged left and right to avoid a few stones, grabbed a spear that was stretched out, and with the help of the panicked regiment member's lifting force, , even jumped onto the city wall in one fell swoop.This shocked all the group members around, they didn't know what to do.Should we continue to block the green battalion soldiers who are still climbing up from below, or should we go all out to kill this green battalion soldier who climbed up?
In this daze, a few more green camp soldiers climbed up, and the enemy broke through several ladders in a row.At this time, the gang members of this shit finally came to their senses, and they rushed towards the enemy.However, in the narrow place of the city wall, spears are far less effective than knives. Even though they fought bravely, they were quickly strangled by these green battalion soldiers.

At this critical juncture, Zhang Liansheng, the acting commander of the third battalion who was inspecting the city wall, arrived with his men.The two sides immediately fought fiercely, the spears were bloody, and the knives and guns were torn apart.

At this time, the city was in chaos, fleeing people were running, and arrows were flying.At this time, the guards around Qiu Tianxing acted as the supervising team, and after brutally killing a few deserters, they also stepped up.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhou Zhen hurriedly persuaded him.

"Head, you'd better go down first, it's too dangerous here."

"No! It's because of the danger that I want to stay here even more! If I go down, how will these comrades who are fighting bloody battles think? Even if I go down, I will be safe, but I will be safe for a while, but I will not be safe." For the rest of my life, if the city breaks down, I will die, so I might as well fight to my death here!" Qiu Tianxing said.

"Besides! As long as we survive the first attack of the Tartars, there is still hope for defending the city in the future. Our team is all recruits, but no one is born to fight. If there are too many battles, the recruits will become veterans. Yes. In fact, most of the so-called famous generals and marshals of the Tartars have not received systematic military education, that is, they have fought too many battles and are familiar with them. In the future, we will have famous generals if we fight more battles with the Tartars. handsome!"

"But, that's in the future. The situation is critical now! Arrows are flying everywhere!" Zhou Zhen was extremely anxious, and continued to dissuade him.

However, Qiu Tianxing even waved his hand, imitating the commanders of the red regime that he saw on TV in his previous life, and said with great pride.

"Don't worry, the arrows that can hit me, Qiu Tianxing, haven't been made yet!"

Before he finished speaking, a cold arrow shot obliquely, and it was about to hit Qiu Tianxing.
