"Well... but can we still defend Yizhen? I followed General Fang from Gaoyouzhou to Jiangdu, and then to Yizhen, and have been retreating. After several battles, our army suffered a lot of casualties..."

"If you can't beat it, you can retreat. It's no big deal." The veteran waved his hand, "You must firmly believe that as long as the general is still there, we can definitely fight back."

"Um...I know." Listening to the veteran's words, the expression on the young soldier's face became a little vivid.

Seeing that the recruit was convinced by his few words, the veteran was also a little happy and asked, "Baby, what are your name?"

"Huang Changping, nickname Erwa."

"Good name, are you the second child at home?"

"Well... I have a sister above."

"Okay, okay..." The veterans said yes, but no one understood what he said.

Huang Changping suddenly said: "Master, please have something to do."

"explain."

"You and I are fellow townsmen... If I unfortunately die in battle, can you help me visit my parents and report a letter? Today I saw the soldiers who commanded the soldiers to write suicide notes."

The veteran was stunned and frowned and said, "Who said you would die? Even if you really die... the General's Mansion has your military status, and will naturally give you some help. Don't worry, you can't die. If the war starts, you will stand behind me..."

At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded suddenly on the city wall, "Enemy attack!"

The veteran stood up and rushed two steps towards the sound, and suddenly turned back and said to the young man, "This is just an enemy harassment. It's a common thing. Don't be afraid... Follow me, don't run around stupidly."

....

This was indeed an attack, and there were not many enemies invading, and the two Niuluo recorded six hundred cavalrymen.

They didn't even organize a siege, but raised their bows and shot from behind.

The speeding war horses made it difficult for the defenders on the city to aim, but in fact they couldn't aim at it at all. No, they had never thought about aiming.

At night, we all rely on the few torches on the city walls to illuminate them. The enemy is dark and we are bright and we are going to aim at the galloping cavalry to shoot, which is obviously futile.

But the arrows shot by the enemy are real, not only fast but also accurate.

For veterans, this is just a piece of cake. You can ignore it. Just lean your back against the battlements, wait quietly or chat with each other.

If you really have bad luck and are shot into the leg or foot by an "eyed" arrow, you will blame yourself for being unlucky. Anyway, you will never die.

Now in Yizhen City, in addition to the veterans brought by Chen Sheng, there are also Fang Guoan's military academy student soldiers. Although the psychological quality of these two is different, they still know the basic tactics.

But in addition to these two groups, there are also some new recruits who have just been recruited, such as this one named Huang Changping.

These new recruits were less than three months before and after joining the army. They had been hiding behind as reserves, but from the beginning of the offensive and defensive battle in Jiangdu, Chen Sheng's army and Fang Guoan's army suffered considerable losses, and these new recruits slowly replenished them.

These new recruits, except for learning to shoot after joining the army, had no knowledge of the battlefield except for what they happened to see and hear in the past half month.

At this time, at least half of the people on duty were new recruits like Huang Changping.

The rapid sound of horse hooves, the enemy's "wailing" and "wailing" screams, and the flying arrows, these new recruits became in chaos. They could not withstand this huge pressure and bumped around. Some even lay directly on the city wall, holding their heads and roaring, but this actually increased the probability of being shot by random arrows.

Some people rushed to the battlements frantically, clumsyly pulled the striking flint, and shot blindly at the bottom of the city.

Huang Changping belongs to the latter type. Huang Changping, who was originally hiding behind the veteran, lost control when he saw a new recruit like his cousin and was shot by arrows. He was furious and rushed to the squadron like crazy, shooting at the city. God knew where the projectile was shooting.

But after all, this is not a continuous shot. One shot has to be loaded. When Huang Changping trembled his hands and started to load ammunition, he completely forgot to bend down and hide behind the stacking wall to load. This is the most basic action key.

The torches on the city wall were basically inserted around the marching ridge. Huang Changping's loading action exposed his upper body to the eyes of the enemy. When several arrows that were invisible to the naked eye were shot at him with lightning speed, he was lowering his head to reload, his hands shaking violently.

A figure rushed towards him, hugged him, and then turned around sharply.

Huang Changping was surprised and at a loss, looking at this unfamiliar face with a hint of helpless smile, gradually fading away. He was dragged down heavily by the owner of this face and smashed it to the ground with a "blood".

....

When the sky lights up, the enemy retreats.

It is not to repel, but to retreat actively.

The enemy cavalry just harassed and had no intention of siege.

Perhaps, they wanted to defeat the psychological and morale of the defenders in this way, and make the defenders give up and retreat voluntarily.

On the city wall, defenders were rescued by the wounded and moved the dead.

Huang Changping had been kneeling in front of the corpse for more than an hour and was numb.

His mind was blank, and his straight eyes made every soldier who approached and wanted to move the body away, not dared or could not bear to take action.

A tall, officer-like man approached.

"Arise...he's dead."

Huang Changping shook his head stiffly.

"I'll help you get up!"

This roar made Huang Changping look up subconsciously and look at the officer, saying dry and difficult, "He...he died because he blocked the arrow for me."

The officer frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is not your fault... There is no immortality in war. He is a veteran. If he doesn't block the arrows for you, he will block the arrows for other new recruits. This is our Lihaiwei tradition..."

Huang Changping finally burst into tears, and he howled, "But I... don't even know his name."

"You don't need to know... All you have to do is kill more enemies on the battlefield in the future to avenge him, and then block the new recruits, instead of feeling guilty about this mother-in-law... Of course, you have to live to become a veteran!"

The officer stretched out his hand and pulled Huang Changping up, and then said to the soldiers behind him: "Carry away!"

After the body was carried away, the officer wanted to say a few words. At this time, a soldier ran from afar and shouted: "Captain Shi... is in charge of the commander to see you."

The officer swallowed back the words that had reached the mouth, patted Huang Changping on the shoulder, and left.

Huang Changping stared blankly at the officer's back. The soldier who sent the order shook his hand in front of him and asked with concern, "Are you... okay?"

Huang Changping shook his head and asked, "Dare you ask... Who is the chief just now?"
