My years as a soldier

Chapter 71 Hell

This was the first strong attack on Tongguan, and the battle lasted for three days and three nights.This time, the 20 defenders seemed not enough. The city defended for dozens of rounds, and almost all the legions devoted themselves to this battle.

The Jia soldiers guarded the pass and fought fiercely with the enemy for an unknown number of rounds on the top of the city.During this period, the two armies did not stop.Relying on their rich combat experience, the rebels suffered heavy casualties, but their morale for attacking the city remained undiminished.But on the side of the Tang army, although the combat ability of the individual soldiers is not as good as that of the opponent, it is the veteran generals of the Longyou Army who can't stand up to command the battle, plus the favorable location of Tongguan.Just when the battle was in the dark, an unexpected cavalry regiment broke the deadlock for the Tang army.

It turned out that the cavalry corps, which had not been able to show up on the battlefield, had already secretly left the customs, and went around the mountain road to touch the enemy's flank, harassing and sneak attacking, which relieved a lot of pressure on the front of the battle.In this way, Tongguan was firmly held in the hands of the Tang army. On the eve of dawn on the fourth day, with the defeat of the enemy's last breakthrough, the army finally retreated.

Below the city of Tongguan, the corpses of thousands of rebels were piled up at the foot of the city wall more than two meters high. The city wall of Tongguan seemed to be stained with a layer of red mist. In the rising sun, there was a strange warmth.

The city has already been occupied by several layers of corpses, and there is no room for them to step down.The stench of the corpse lingered, but it was difficult for anyone within a hundred meters of the city not to be fainted by the stench that rushed straight up.The stench of the dead body is different from that of ordinary rotting meat. It has an extremely rotten smell of human corpses, and it is poisonous. Once it is stained, it will not fade away for decades.

It was not until after the rebels retreated that Li Muyun was escorted out of his barracks by the Lu family's personal soldiers.

In the past three days, he has been concerned about Hu Jiuzhang's safety for a moment, but he couldn't see Lu Sheng's people, and naturally he couldn't ask for news. Finally, he ran out in a hurry when the rebels retreated.

"we won?"

He grabbed the arm of the soldier beside him, and the worry in his eyes never abated.

"Hey, you don't have to worry too much, young master. We are all here to live well. If we didn't lose the test, we won of course."

The soldiers on the side seemed quite helpless. After all, in their view, this was just a battle to defend the city. Although it took a little longer, Tongguan had enough soldiers. manageable.

"Win... just win..."

Li Muyun's mind was not on this, he only thought about Hu Jiuzhang, his voice was still trembling slightly, and he was even more at a loss than before.

Tang Jun won, doesn't that mean that Lao Hu can come back to find himself?But he hasn't come yet... Is he hurt?still……

Li Muyun didn't dare to think deeply, he just felt a strong breath in his chest, as if when that breath dissipated, the others would follow along.

On the road leading to Tongguan City, along the street Li Muyun saw wounded soldiers shuttled back and forth, as well as teams transporting corpses.Most of the corpses on the battlefield are in disarray, and it is a blessing that they can be picked up without any mistakes.Li Muyun couldn't stop looking at the corpse transportation team. He didn't dare to look at those rotting corpses, but as soon as he thought of Hu Jiuzhang, even if he didn't dare to look, he forced himself to look.

Li Muyun, a pampered son of a family in Chang'an City, how could he bear this kind of scene.The ubiquitous stench was rampant in his nostrils, coupled with the bruised and swollen fragments of corpses, Li Muyun was a little unsteady before he took a few steps. He was supported by the two soldiers beside him, so he could bear it. Suppressing the nausea in his stomach, he walked hard towards the city wall.

Under the city wall, Li Muyun did not find Hu Jiuzhang, but saw Lu Sheng.How did you know that Lu Sheng's face was full of spring breeze at this time.

"Mr. Li is here! Hey, let me tell you, this time we can be regarded as a solid encounter with that fellow of An Lushan. According to calculations before the battle, the rebels were killed and injured nearly [-], and our side lost [-] people. It's a complete victory! Marshal Geshu must be very happy now! I'll talk to my father later, let's take this opportunity to introduce the young master to Marshal Geshu, and things will definitely go smoothly."

Seeing the hearty smile on Lu Sheng's face, Li Muyun felt creepy for some reason.They were standing in the lingering stench of corpses, three thousand... ten thousand... behind every number was a living life.In the past, Li Muyun never felt that a soldier died in battle was such a big deal, but now, as long as he thinks that each of these lives may be due to a diligent soldier like Hu Jiuzhang, his mind is instantly stunned.

Without allowing him to think about it, before Lu Sheng finished speaking, Li Muyun suddenly bent down, and the acid that surged in his stomach passed through his throat, and vomited out of his mouth with a strong and pungent sourness.

He had a splitting headache from the stench of the corpse, and there was nothing in his stomach, so he vomited several mouthfuls in such a violent reaction, but what he vomited was just stomach acid, which made him break out in a profuse sweat, and his face became even more ugly .

"Master Li!"

When Lu Sheng saw Li Muyun like this, he quickly stepped forward and held him in his arms.

"Mr. Li is not feeling well? Hey! You two, go and call the military doctor! Call the best military doctor!"

"I-I'm fine."

Li Muyun's whole body trembled, but even he himself didn't know why.He only felt that Tongguan had become a hell on earth, the smell of dead bodies permeated the whole Tongguan, and the corpses that could be seen on both sides of the road... All these made him tremble physically and mentally.

If possible, he really wanted to return to Chang'an City right now.He didn't want to see the bloody fact, even though he already knew what it should look like.

"I want to see Hu Jiuzhang..."

Li Muyun was supported by Lu Sheng, and his weight was completely on him.

"I want to see Hu Jiuzhang...I don't need a military doctor, take me to see Hu Jiuzhang!"

Li Muyun said so resolutely that Lu Sheng even frowned a few times.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to find it." He said on his lips, but he couldn't stop thinking about it in his heart.

Isn't it just a retainer?Is it worth worrying about?

Lu Sheng had no special impression of Hu Jiuzhang at first, but now that Li Muyun reacted so violently, he couldn't help being more interested in Hu Jiuzhang, but there was still some jealousy in it.

Hu Jiuzhang was carried back to the wounded barracks by his own soldiers. He did suffer several very dangerous knife wounds, but fortunately, the doctor in the barracks couldn't cure anything else. He is a master of medicine for this kind of skin trauma. Hu Jiuzhang's injury was more serious than Hu Jiuzhang's, and he didn't even frown. Hu Jiuzhang was sent there without saying a word. He undressed and stripped the armor, how to sew it up, and how to apply medicine.Only after seeing Hu Jiuzhang's leg injury, the military doctor who took over had a difficult time.Put Hu Jiuzhang, who is still in a coma, there for a while, and then go to deal with the wounded ones sent later.

At the end of the battle at Tongguan, Hu Jiuzhang was still suffering from a high fever. His head was groggy, and he felt severe pain all over his body, but he couldn't wake up or cry out.After an unknown amount of time, he was finally able to open his eyes, but his eyelids were still heavy, and he couldn't even make out the specific scene in front of him.

In the haze, Hu Jiuzhang could only vaguely see a man who seemed to be dressed as a medical officer beside him, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, only feeling a burst of worry.He hurriedly opened his mouth, but the sound he made was so vague that even he himself couldn't hear it clearly.

"Keep the legs... don't cut them off."

Hearing the sound, the military doctor next to him hurriedly took a lump of wet stuff and put it under his nose.When Hu Jiuzhang heard this, he suddenly lost consciousness.And goodbye to the military doctor, two military doctors surrounded Hu Jiuzhang's couch, holding a slender serrated knife, which was covered with blood.

"What did he just say? Other?"

one of the doctors asked.

"Hey, I didn't hear clearly, deal with it quickly, if you drag it on, this person will be gone!"

The other medical officer was obviously older. He held a serrated knife in his hand. On the couch, Hu Jiuzhang was tied with a thick rope that was as wide as one finger below his knees. It seemed that both legs were cut off abruptly.But in the end, ropes cannot cut human limbs, only knives can.The knife in the medical officer's hand was already stained with blood.The blood flowed from the section of Hu Jiuzhang's calf. The two medical officers had amputated Hu Jiuzhang's calf which was full of scars, and they were busy stopping the bleeding from the wound!

It was at this time that Li Muyun was brought in by Lu Sheng.

The two medical officers had already ordered that no one else should be allowed to come in during the amputation, but the soldiers guarding the gate couldn't stop Lu Sheng.Lu Sheng involuntarily led Li Muyun into the bloody tent, and when Li Muyun saw this scene, his head was buzzing and he almost fainted.

But he was not dizzy after all, Lu Sheng stood beside him, holding him firmly with both hands, Li Muyun couldn't move his eyes, he saw Hu Jiuzhang covered in blood, saw his amputated calf, and That bloody wound.

For some reason, Li Muyun suddenly felt nauseous. He only felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and the pain rushed to his throat.

With a deep breath, Li Muyun suddenly bent down. He covered his mouth, but he couldn't help the abnormality in his stomach.

Suddenly, something gushed out of his mouth, and it was also fishy.

Li Muyun's hand trembled slightly, he moved his palm away from his mouth, the blood on that hand was vomited from his mouth.

"Eh? Young Master Li! Young Master Li!!"

At this moment, Li Muyun only felt that everything he depended on for survival was about to collapse.In the ears, Lu Sheng's shouts gradually faded away, and even the bloody scene in front of him was gradually replaced by darkness.At the moment before he fainted, he was absolutely certain that Tongguan was a hell.In the name of marching, an endless hell stands in the world in vain.
