My years as a soldier

It was a sunny day, a sunny day with warm spring breeze.

The six regiments that were transferred first were all deployed to Tongguan City, and when Hu Jiuzhang followed the brigade to the city, the dozen or so regiments that came later had also assembled under the city wall in an orderly manner.

This kind of assembly has been practiced many times by the officers and soldiers in Tongguan.Today, even recruits with no combat experience can gather in orderly formations under unified orders, and each legion has a clear front and back, and there is no longer the phenomenon of each grouping in groups and partnering in groups.

Hu Jiuzhang took more than a hundred Tang troops under his command and stood guard on the outer edge of the side closest to the city wall.Standing not far away was his new captain, Jiang Tan.Looking further in the middle, it was Captain Longyou who commanded the three regiments to fight.Several generals from the early morning city were sitting in the center of the city, plus their own personal soldiers and passers-by who shuttled back and forth, the Tongguan city wall was already overcrowded.

Tongguan pass is built on the hillside, with the direction of high in the west and low in the east.The field of view is very wide when the door is closed, and from a distance, Hu Jiuzhang can see that on the mountain road, the brigade of rebels is forcibly separated into a long formation of less than a hundred people by the narrower and narrower mountain road. The number of soldiers who came to attack the city was quite a lot.

The long formation was endless, and at first glance with the naked eye, there were already more than a thousand people in sight.Hu Jiuzhang swallowed reflexively, and for a while, he couldn't even care about the pain in his leg.

"This is our regiment's first battle. No matter what happens later, remember, don't panic. Pay attention to the command and the cooperation between the team. Don't panic, as long as you don't panic, we can survive. "

Hu Jiuzhang touched the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand, fixed his eyes on the approaching rebel brigade on the mountain road, and whispered instructions to the soldiers around him.

He has experienced similar scenes many times in northern Xinjiang, and in northern Xinjiang, the enemies are all barbarians from outside the Great Wall who grew up on horseback. They are tall and powerful, and they are extremely ferocious.But when he was in northern Xinjiang, Hu Jiuzhang didn't feel nervous as he watched the enemy gradually approaching.On the contrary, here, he is like a recruit, feeling inexplicably panicked.

"Here! But... Marshal Hu, isn't there a lot of people sent by the rebels this time?"

The soldier standing next to Hu Jiuzhang spoke in a low voice, still sweeping his eyes to see the reaction of his comrades beside him.

"Whether there are few people or many people, we have to kill everyone who should be killed. Just remember one thing, calm down and don't panic."

As Hu Jiuzhang said, he gripped the handle of the knife twice again.

No matter what happens today, don't panic.

But after a while, the enemy army walking in the front had already entered the outer range of the Tang army on the city.The battle drums roared above Tongguan City, and the Tang army was equipped with a bow and thirty arrows.Following the order of the war drum, Hu Jiuzhang had already led the whole brigade of soldiers to set up their bows, only to hear the sudden and rapid sound of the drum, thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city.

Arrows roared past his ears, sharp as a knife, stimulating Hu Jiuzhang's nerves.A little bit of sweat had already oozed out of his palm unconsciously.Shoot, draw, and bow again.Listen to the drums—

He has done the movements no less than a hundred times, and now it has become his only reassurance, allowing him to gradually settle down and devote himself wholeheartedly to the battle.

Obviously, the rebels under the city had long been prepared for the Tang army's offensive.When the rain of arrows fell, the shields of the rebels were all raised above their heads, and they stopped advancing rashly.

This wave of arrow rain did not cause the rebels to reduce their numbers, but sent out hundreds of arrows for nothing.Tang Jun shot two rounds in a row, and then stopped bowing.

The rain of arrows from the Tang army gradually subsided, and the rebels under the city also took away their shields.But among the densely packed crowd, several catapult carts and several rows of archers were revealed.Tang Jun's bow is just an ordinary bow and arrow with a range of more than [-] meters.However, the crossbowmen at the forefront of the rebel army were equipped with strong bows that required the cooperation of two people to draw.The bow was taller than a human, and when the shield soldiers raised their shields, they had already drawn their bows in situ, only waiting for Tang Jun's side, and as soon as the rain of arrows breathed, they shot straight at the top of Tongguan City.

"Hidden fast! Hidden fast!"

When it came time to respond, the task of directing the response on the city was handed over to junior officers like Hu Jiuzhang.

All of a sudden, there were shouts and shouts from the top of the city.

When Hu Jiuzhang shouted these words, he had already hid under the city wall.That action is subconscious at all, without thinking.In addition, he was already standing on the edge of the outermost city wall, so he could completely cover himself behind the solid stone wall of the city wall with just a sideways movement.But the hundred soldiers around him didn't have such a natural reaction.

After Hu Jiuzhang yelled, the dozen or so soldiers who were leaning against the wall with him hurriedly leaned down against the wall, but those who were not against the wall couldn't react.

"Hu Lushuai!"

"Stick to the wall to hide! Come quickly! Stick to the wall to hide!"

Hu Jiuzhang shouted a few more times. He watched the huge arrows fly past his head, some of them were nailed to the closed stone wall, but most of them went straight to the dense crowd at the top of the city, roaring away.

Along with the whistling sound of the huge arrow piercing the air, wailing began to be heard from the city.

"Someone is shot! Someone is shot!"

"Stick to the wall to hide! Make room for him!" Hu Jiuzhang almost roared wildly.In the area under his jurisdiction, three huge arrows were nailed down one after another, and as the arrows fell to the ground, the smell of blood had already dissipated.

The soldier who was unfortunately shot was directly pierced by the arrow and nailed to the ground.The recruits were obviously terrified by this scene, and some of them just hugged their heads and fell to the ground. Even though the people around them shouted, they still remained motionless, already petrified.

But fortunately, the number of such strong bows of the enemy is not large, but the bow speed is also slow. He only waited for the end of this wave of long-range shots from the enemy. Without the unified order of the war drum, Hu Jiuzhang had already got up from his hiding place. Long shot.

"Draw the bow! Draw the bow quickly! Press them down!"

he yelled.Most of the soldiers who had trained with him for more than a month were still able to set up bows and arrows with him according to his orders, but by this time, the arrow formations on the entire Tongguan city were no longer in order.Fortunately, Tongguan's geographical advantage is too great. Even if the arrow rain is not dense enough, the rebels under the city dare not bear the rain of arrows falling from the sky and forcefully draw their bows.

After the two armies shot at each other for several rounds, the Tang army still had the upper hand.

It was the rebels who were the first to break through the deadlock.

The armored soldiers in the front of the rebel formation, holding shields in their hands, ignored the Tang army's arrow rain, and went straight towards the Tongguan city wall. As soon as the front army came out, the follow-up troops rushed straight up regardless.

The commander of the rebel army was obviously an experienced veteran. They counted that the thirty arrows in Tang Jun's hands were about to be shot before ordering his men to charge.

As soon as the rebels rushed, the orders on the city changed.Continue to shoot arrows, but the arrows are no longer enough. Even if arrows are continuously sent to the city, it will still take some time to be delivered to the hands of 200 people from the six regiments. While charging wantonly.In just a short while, the rebels' ladders were about to reach the top of Tongguan City.

"Hu Lushuai! They are coming up!"

The soldiers around Hu Jiuzhang panicked.

"Just go up, do you really think that we can keep them under the city for a lifetime? Listen to orders! Act according to orders!"

Hu Jiuzhang also became angry.There was constant drumming in my ears, shooting arrows, throwing stones, in short, I tried my best to smash down those soldiers who were about to climb the ladder!

After shooting all the arrows, the soldiers on the city could only use small groups as units to throw stones down the city.Seeing those soldiers who climbed the ladder were hit on the head by boulders, and some even had their brains smashed out. When they fell, their corpses were trampled to pieces, but those behind them continued to climb up.

"Keep throwing stones! Don't stop! It's a moment to stop!"

Hu Jiuzhang was still screaming hissingly.Even he himself started to run, moving stones with his men.

But this time, I don’t know what happened to the rebels below the city. No matter how densely the stones were smashed on the top of the city, no matter how many people they died, the people who followed behind still seemed to have not seen them, and just kept going. rush forward.Several soldiers even shook their hands when they saw the desperate posture below.

"This this……"

"Keep smashing! Don't stop!"

Seeing someone stop, Hu Jiuzhang hurriedly shouted again, not daring to let any of his soldiers lose their minds for a moment.

At this time, Tongguan was filled with mourning.But most of the dead were the rebels who attacked the city.Hu Jiuzhang's regiment finally waited for the arrow-delivering soldiers, and he hurriedly called ten small captains in the brigade to fetch the arrows.I ran back and forth along the city wall I was in charge of, and when I found a weak point, I stepped forward to help.

In this way, he did not know how many laps he ran back and forth, but in this situation, he could not care about his legs.

"Archery without stones! Don't let them climb! Don't let them climb!"

Hu Jiuzhang's voice was also hoarse, and the corpses of the rebels were piled up to a meter high under the city, but the subsequent rebels still attacked Tongguan in thousands.At first, only a section of the ladder was built, and it slowly extended to Tongguan City.The legions in each area have already tried their best under the command of their respective officers to block the enemy soldiers in the upper city, but in the end, the enemy still appeared on the city, and Hu Jiuzhang didn't know that he was the first to charge up The enemy at the head of the city broke through in which area, but now, the most difficult part of the defense of the city has already begun.

On Tongguan City, two groups of soldiers with different uniforms fought together. Although the Tang army outnumbered the rebels, the Tang army was defeated far faster than the rebels.

The viciousness of the rebels who climbed up from the pile of corpses was beyond imagination.These recruits who were fighting for the first time, when they met such a desperate and fierce man, they were weak from the very beginning.

Hu Jiuzhang was alone, so it was impossible for him to take care of a hundred people in the brigade.He pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and could only do his best to cut down all the enemies he saw in front of him.

But after a short while, even Hu Jiuzhang became red-eyed, relying only on the different clothing colors of the two sides, he slaughtered all the living things in his sight fiercely and with extraordinary precision.

The smell of blood spread wantonly in the air, but Hu Jiuzhang felt that his body was full of strength.As he chopped down three or four enemy soldiers in the upper city one after another, the frightened recruits in his brigade also frantically followed him, hacking and killing all the way.

Hu Jiuzhang couldn't remember how many people he had killed.Some fell to their death when he chopped off the ladder before reaching the top of the city;Despite the seemingly smooth battle, Hu Jiuzhang still did not dare to relax.All he knew was that more and more rebels rushed to the city.At the beginning of the city, which was slightly crowded, almost half of the space was now filled with corpses.

"Hu Lushuai, when will this kill the boss! Why do they all seem to be crazy...Ah!!"

The soldier standing beside Hu Jiuzhang suddenly raised his knife and slashed down. The blood spurted from the enemy's body splashed all over him and half of Hu Jiuzhang's clothes.

"This is a strong attack! Don't be afraid, we have reinforcements! Don't relax! Gather up and wait for the defense change!"

Hu Jiuzhang shouted loudly, just listening to the voice, he felt that his throat was about to be torn along with it.

It is true that none of the legions that are facing the enemy in the city today is easy.Captain Jiang Tan, even the captain who was standing behind and was in charge of commanding, had already been killed with blood all over his body, and his blood spurted.And the rebels under the city were still stepping on the corpses of their companions, rushing towards the head of Tongguan city in a steady stream.

"Ahhhhhhhh! When will the reinforcements come! So many legions are preparing for the battle below, why do we have to wait so long!"

The voice next to my ear already had a taste of hysteria.

Hu Jiuzhang had no time to look at it, the point of his knife was still stuck in the enemy's shoulder blade, and when he pulled back fiercely, the shadow of the knife flashed from behind.

Hu Jiuzhang turned around and suddenly resisted the horizontal knife that was slashed at his head.

"Concentrate on the battle! Reinforcements will arrive soon!"

Although he said so, Ming Tongguan has enough troops, and there are more than a dozen legions preparing for battle under the city. Why did they come to him, but the soldiers who changed defense were delayed.At this moment of thinking, Hu Jiuzhang suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and he staggered a few steps forward, only then felt the severe pain on his back that was ripped apart, and gradually spread.

A mouthful of pus and blood gushed out of his mouth, and Hu Jiuzhang felt nauseous, but in the blink of an eye, a knife flashed in front of him again.He swung his knife to counter it, but for some reason, his two calves seemed to disappear, and he lost his strength in an instant.

Hu Jiuzhang fell to the ground with a bang, but fortunately the soldiers closest to him hurriedly surrounded him and helped him block the successive horizontal knives.

"Hu Lushuai, are you okay!"

Those soldiers had obviously tried their best, and each of them was more or less wounded.

"fine!"

Hu Jiuzhang kept pushing himself up, trying to stand up from the ground, but he couldn't feel his two calves, as if they had been cut off out of thin air. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't move a cent.

"Hu Lushuai!"

Seeing that he hadn't gotten up for a long time, the soldiers around him panicked.

"It's okay! Don't be distracted! Reinforcements will be here soon!"

Even though he couldn't move his legs, Hu Jiuzhang didn't stop. He leaned on his two arms for support and tried his best to observe the surrounding situation.

"Ahh! Fuck! Where are the reinforcements who will replace us!"

A soldier beside him couldn't take it any longer, hysterical shouts erupted from time to time on the wall where blood flowed and corpses were intertwined.Hu Jiuzhang saw a group of Tang soldiers who had not been stained with much blood appearing tens of meters away from him. They were obviously reinforcements, but why didn't those soldiers come to their position?

Suddenly Hu Jiuzhang felt pain in his arm again.The soldier standing on his left to protect him suddenly fell to the ground.And standing behind the soldier was an enemy soldier covered in blood.Before Hu Jiuzhang could react, the enemy soldier was also killed by the blade stabbing from behind.

Just after the enemy soldier fell, Hu Jiuzhang saw the face that he was familiar with but didn't want to see again.

Gan Ruoshan.

It turned out that their reinforcements were actually Gan Ruoshan.

"Why did it take so long to come!!"

The soldiers around Hu Jiuzhang were furious, but at the same time they had to continue fighting.And just for a moment, Hu Jiuzhang's right hand supporting his body was scratched by someone's random knife, blood sprayed, and another knife was added.The pain in a trance made him unable to even support his upper body. He fixed his eyes on Gan Ruoshan and shouted that sentence with the last of his strength.

"Switch defenses!"
