On the Seven Towers

Chapter 100 Rain of Sharp Arrows

A roar sounded not far from Ye Zi. She didn't know that she could hear so many emotions from a roar, fear, regret, despair, and perhaps some relief.

Since the first enemy fell in front of the wall not far away, such roars kept ringing in her ears, some from the enemy and some from her own people.

Some of the arrows shot by the horse thieves from outside had already pierced the door she was guarding, which showed that the enemy was not effectively suppressed in front. Ye Zi had to hide in a dead corner with a pile of debris.

Team leader Zhou certainly didn't have the time to interrogate the two escaped women. She was very hesitant. Should she follow Ji Xun's order to continue to watch over the two people, or ignore them and support the front line that was close at hand.

"Listen to me, listen to me." Jiang Jie knocked on the door and said, "The enemy has come to the door, you can't keep us here. If we can't hold on in front, won't we fall into the hands of the bandits?"

"There is a whole platoon of soldiers blocking us 30 meters ahead. There are also the reserve troops of Captain Wang and Deputy Captain Ji behind us. Stay in your room and don't think too much." Ye Zi said.

"What's the use of just having more people? They have much more people than us, and they are better at fighting than us."

"We have high walls and fortifications, so nothing will happen."

"There was a loud noise at the school gate just now, and we don't know what happened! Maybe the gate was blown up by someone."

"You are sick. How can you always boost others' morale like this?"

"Ye Zi, you are also a girl, you know best what we are afraid of." Wu Qi said at this time.

Jiang Jie suddenly changed her tone to a sad one, "Yes. Have you ever thought about what they would do to us women if we were really surrounded by bandits?"

"Do you really not believe that our guard battalion can protect you?"

"What else can your guard team do besides being violent in front of their own people? Have they fought in wars or killed enemies? I don't believe they won't be scared in front of the enemy. If they are scared, what do you want us girls to do? Are they going to force us to death?"

Ye Zi's heart also tightened. Although she was much more confident than Jiang Jie, she began to think that it might be better to take these two people to the safe area in the rear.

At this time, a person rode a tricycle and came over here. There was a red cross on a white background on the tricycle, and a person was lying in the back of the car body, making a low hum. Ye Zi understood that this was a medical staff transporting the wounded to the school hospital in the rear. The few cars that could be driven in the school were converted into chariots and ambulances, but there were few people stationed at the wall where Ye Zi was, and it was not far from the school hospital, so only such guys were assigned.

"How was the battle in front?" She couldn't help but stick her head out from behind the pile of debris and asked.

"The enemy was too crazy, and they were not afraid of death. They shot arrows and threw axes at us through the wall." The medical staff pedaled hard and said loudly, "In just ten minutes, we killed more than a dozen horse thieves and repelled two attacks. Several people were shot and injured by arrows. The brother at the back was the most unlucky. He was hit in the shoulder by a thrown axe. His collarbone was broken."

"Hurry up and leave. The road here is not safe. The enemy's cold arrows can reach here." Ye Zi reminded.

"I know, you have to be careful too. I think we should retreat." The man waved to Ye Zi, but he suddenly froze halfway through the wave.

Ye Zi heard a slight collision sound. She looked closely and almost cried out. Twenty or thirty arrows fell from the front and back of the tricycle. The arrows were not dense, but one arrow happened to pierce the back of the medical worker's head. The medical worker didn't even have time to make a sound before he fell off the tricycle and fell to the ground without a sound. The wounded behind him seemed to have been hit by an arrow and cried out even more miserably.

More shouts and killings were heard on the battlefield not far away. It seemed that the round of arrows just now was just a prelude to cover the charge.

Ye Zi shouted twice over there, but the medical worker didn't respond. Instead, the wounded shouted: "Hurry up and save me, who comes, who comes to save me, they are going to shoot arrows again!"

"Wait, I'll save you!" Ye Zi looked around and saw a wooden board leaning against the wall with "Recycling of various electrical appliances and old books" written on it, so he leaned his spear against the wall and picked up the board to use as a shield.

"Wait a minute, you can't hold up the sign and push the cart by yourself, let us out, we will help you save people." Ye Zi was about to run over there when Wu Qi said from the window.

"Are you sure? It will be dangerous." Ye Zi asked.

"What else can we do now? There is nowhere to escape, we can only fight." Wu Qi replied, "I have learned some first aid and can help."

"If you let us out, I... I am willing to help too." Jiang Jie also said.

Ye Zi glanced at Wu Qi and found that she looked determined, so he no longer hesitated, took out the key and opened the lock, "I will push the cart later, Wu Qi will help the wounded stop bleeding, Jiang Jie will hold this sign to block the arrows."

The two came out of the house, Wu Qi quickly ran to the wounded, Jiang Jie was a little dazed, Ye Zi stuffed the wooden board into her hand, said, "Follow." and ran to the tricycle.

The tricycle was about twenty meters away from the prison hut. Ye Zi ran to the front of the car in a few steps. She looked around and saw no new arrows being shot down, so she hurried to check on the condition of the medical staff and the wounded with Wu Qi.

The medic's head hit the ground at a very strange angle, his face buried in the soil, an arrow on the back of his head still pointed to the sky, his hand still waved, one leg still hung on the pedal of the tricycle. The blood had already flowed all over the area around his face, thick and forming a small depression.

Wu Qi did not dare to approach the medic, and Ye Zi did not dare to turn him over, she could only touch the side of his neck with her hand... like rubber without temperature, lifeless.

Wu Qi had already climbed onto the tricycle at this time, she squatted beside the wounded, held his legs, gently opened the jeans pierced by the arrow and said: "The wound on his shoulder has been simply bandaged, but the bleeding is still very severe. He was shot in the thigh just now, the arrowhead pierced into the flesh, it is difficult to pull out, but the injury is not serious."

Ye Zi saw Jiang Jie also running over, she saw the medic falling to the ground, she screamed in fear. She raised her "shield" in panic towards the medic, walked like a goose with her neck tilted, and did not dare to look at him at all.

"He died. We have to hurry." Ye Zi removed the medical worker's feet from the car and dragged his body to the side, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

"I'm sorry." She said in her heart.

It took Jiang Jie a long time to climb onto the car from the back and put the wooden board behind herself and the wounded to form a small shelter. Ye Zi looked at the medical worker on the ground again and said, "That's it. I'll ride the bike and we'll go to the hospital."

Ye Zi got on the tricycle and stepped hard, but the car didn't move. She turned her head and saw the two people behind her looking at him. Jiang Jie suddenly said, "I've lost weight!"

"Look what's stuck on the wheel." Ye Zi said unhappily.

"It's two arrows, one stuck on the wheel and the other stuck on the gear of the chain." Wu Qi jumped off the car and squatted on the ground and said, "It's stuck so tightly that I can't open it."

"I'll do it." Ye Zi jumped off the car and looked under the car. Before she reached the wheel, she felt her heart tighten and her fingertips hurt. An arrow shaft pierced her hand, causing a streak of blood on her index finger.

"Arrow! Hide!" She shouted and dodged in the angle between the seat and the basket. At the same time, sparse arrows pierced them from front to back and left to right.

"Ah! Help!" Jiang Jie, who was holding the wooden board, was shot by an arrow at her exposed trouser leg. Perhaps the cold arrowhead touched her calf. She screamed and jumped out from behind the board, stumbling towards the hut, shouting loudly: "I don't want it, I don't want to die."

"Stupid, hide quickly, the arrows are coming again." Ye Zi shouted loudly.

But Jiang Jie ran towards the hut like crazy, regardless of everything. Just when she was halfway through, another rain of arrows came, and an arrow pierced Jiang Jie's back, knocking her to the ground.

"Ah~" She screamed like a pig being slaughtered, but she started to cough violently after a few screams. The arrow seemed to have hurt her lungs. She just lay on the ground, holding her throat and panting. She turned her head with difficulty and looked in Ye Zi's direction, her eyes full of fear and desire.

"Stupid woman." Ye Zi cursed angrily and wanted to rush up to drag her back, but the third wave of arrows came again. Jiang Jie's luck was worse this time. Two arrows hit her body. She trembled and could no longer say a word.

Ye Zi could clearly see her mouth making the shape of "Save me." Then the light in her eyes slowly faded..., but she seemed a little numb now. In the past day, starting with Niu Guangcheng and Li Qiuxin, she had seen too many people die.

She no longer looked at her eyes, but got under the car and pulled out the arrow that was stuck in the tricycle with two fingers.

Then, after a few rounds of arrows, Ye Zi suddenly climbed onto the car and pedaled hard. She found that the enemy's arrows were getting denser and denser, and there must be more and more archers on the platform outside the wall. This means that more and more people are attacking the wall. I don't know if the front line can hold on...

The tricycle was moving a little slowly, but there was no rain of arrows falling from the sky at this time, but the shouts and screams were getting louder and louder.

"Not good! It seems that the outside can't hold on." The wounded man suddenly said, "I have been listening to Yue Laosan's gun, and his gunshots have stopped."

Ye Zi looked back at the front line at the end of the path, and saw several figures holding torches and holding knives and axes rushing towards this side, running much faster than the tricycle carrying three people.

She pulled the brake and jumped down, and pulled Wu Qi off the car, "Hurry, you ride the bike to take him away, I will stop them."

"You..." Wu Qi didn't panic, and quickly got on the seat.

"Now, go!"
