Chapter 631
Now the fire outside the wall of the village is extremely intense, almost burning against the wall, the flames almost jumping up to half the height of the wall, standing on the wall of the village can feel the scorching, sweat dripping down.
This is the south side. After dawn, the temperature rises slowly, and the wall of the village is like an oven.
"This won't work! I need salt water! Tell the luggage to prepare a large amount of salt water for the soldiers to drink, otherwise they will be dehydrated in a short time."
Chen Zifang, who came along with him, was persuaded by Shen Hao to leave on the way. An alchemist, even if he has some cultivation, how can he fight! It's better to do something that you are good at if you have a fart to follow.
Chen Zifang was indeed a little flustered. He never expected that he would encounter such a life-and-death situation, and now that even Cheng Jinhou's personal guards were going to fight, he understood the extent of the crisis.
But fortunately, he is also smart. When he sees Shen Hao going down, he quickly follows him. He believes that it is better to join forces with Shen Hao than to go into battle with someone he doesn't know. Based on his understanding of Shen Hao these days, he is sure that Shen Hao will fight It must be reliable on the battlefield.
However, Chen Zifang expected that he hadn't played yet, so Shen Hao found another excuse for him to do it.
It's normal to drink water when it's hot, but why drink salt water? Because the sweat that comes out is salty, do you have to use salt water to replenish it?
Chen Zifang wanted to ask, but it was really inappropriate, but he was grateful and understood that it was Shen Hao who was helping him. It is not a problem for Shen Hao to arrange some logistics details in his current capacity as the general manager of chores, not to mention that he, Chen Zifang, is also an expert in this field, and what he does is also helping the front line.
"Okay, I'll get ready now! Be careful yourself!" Chen Zifang nodded to Shen Hao, bowed his hands and turned to leave. And Shen Hao led more than 30 personal guards under his command towards the east.
The number of people was much smaller, because the dozens of people under Colonel Xu's command had been taken away before. The personal guards remained until now as the last force and supervisor.
When we got to the bottom of the wall, we found that the soldiers were exhausted, and the wounded and dead had covered the open space below. The seriously injured people wailed, but few people paid attention to them, because they couldn't be saved, so they could only give some first aid measures and leave life and death to luck. If you can resist too much, there is really no way for others to help you.
And the dead soldiers didn't have time to clean up at all, so they could only be put together, looking bleak.
Shen Hao suddenly thought, it seems that he didn't see professional ambulance soldiers at all along the way, only people from the supply battalion cameo, the number of personnel and the efficiency of treatment were pitifully low.
Keep it in mind, Shen Hao also knows that this is not the time to mention this.
He took the ordnance from the luggage below. There are large shields and spears. None of them were new, and there were clear bloodstains on them. You don't need to ask to know that these things should be left by the casualties. There are many stacked in the corner.
"You all know the linear array, right? Very good, the big shield is in front, and the spear is in the back."
"How much cultivation? Those in the Qi Refining Realm don't need to take shields and spears, but wait behind the spearmen with your own weapons. If there are powerful beasts that climb up, you will deal with them!
Remember, don’t panic if you can’t beat him, the two go together, if you really have no choice, hug him, the brothers behind will help you fight one for one, don’t be afraid! Anyone who came here like this, the worst is death, and the meritorious deeds will naturally be written down, leaving a blessing for your descendants. What? Are you still a bachelor? Who is to blame if you find a daughter-in-law by yourself? "
Because of this, Shen Hao's personal guards were divided into two parts. Those who were at the beginning stage of Qi Refining Realm held shields and spears, while the rest of the middle and later stages followed behind with their own goose spine sabers.
"My lord, there are many experts from the barbarians coming up to make a surprise attack, and I invite you to cruise on the wall here. If there is a signal for help, please give me reinforcements."
A general clasped his fists cautiously to explain the task to Shen Hao, and Shen Hao naturally should do it, that's why he came here.
And the three guards who had been following him also had serious expressions at this moment, and they followed Shen Hao wherever he went without saying a word. But it's unclear how much "effort" they have in their minds, and more focus is on their protection tasks from the commander's yamen.
Relying on kerosene alone is enough to slow down the high-intensity offensive and defensive battles outside the walls of the village, but kerosene bombs are dangerous and unstable, and storage is a big problem, even for a large military camp like the upper military camp The amount stored in it is not much, and it cannot last long for blocking the enemy.
After a meal, the kerosene was exhausted, the ground was scorched and smelly, and the temperature was frighteningly high, but the barbarians didn't care, and they blew their unique horn sounding like a beast's roar again and continued to attack. It's really not giving Junzhai a chance to breathe.
Even among the barbarian soldiers rushing over this time, there were some fat pigmen with big fangs and fat bodies, carrying huge bags on their backs, which were full of freshly dug and packed soil. It looks like it should be used to put out the fire if there is another kerosene bomb in the future?
wrong. Not just to put out the fire, but to fill in the height outside the wall!
At about twenty-five steps away from the wall of the village, at a blind spot where it is difficult for the thrown arrows to reach, a slope of soil began to be piled up, and the movements must have been rehearsed. The pigs threw the soil they carried down directly to build a bulge, then pulled out a shovel from their waist, and quickly shoveled the mud on the spot, continuously increasing the height of the bulge in the shape of a slope.
Shen Hao quickly experienced the intensity of offensive and defensive battles. In just half an hour, his body was soaked, even the inside of his inner armor was soaked. Sweat, more blood. They have their own and their enemies.
The pressure mainly comes from the fact that the manpower is getting thinner and weaker and weaker in the face of the barbarian's continuous scouring. It often takes three or four shots to stab a barbarian up, and the killing damage caused by the gray snake grass poison sac after the density of the large shield decreases. It was terrifying. The bloody soldiers on their arms and shoulders were not wounded by the enemy, but blood from their own cuts. There was no time to bandage them, so they could only wrap them with cloth strips torn from their clothes. We must continue to push forward.
Even after Shen Hao went back and forth a few times on the east wall of the stronghold, it was obvious that the soldiers in some places were already so thin that there were only two rows of soldiers left.
What's more, the wooden spears were thrown up. At the beginning, because of the angle, they couldn't cause trouble to the soldiers on the wall. At most, they fell weakly or ran to the back of the wall went. But after a while of hard work, the angle of the wooden spear got better and better, and some of them were able to stab down and cause damage.
That's what those piles of dirt outside are for.
An unlucky guy was pierced by a wooden spear and fell to the ground screaming. The reason was that the large shield in front of him was already sparse and could not help him block it. This is happening more and more often and adding to the stress.
