Chapter 1420: Han Banner World (One Hundred and Ten) Iron Wall (Three)
Ergou is a second-generation immigrant from Jishi County and the latest recruit of the Young Guards. Because the Young Guards are the royal army, they have extremely strict control over the source of their soldiers. The vast majority of the soldiers come from the The king called Liaoxi County, Jishi County, Langya County and other places in the old area. Liaoxi and Jishi counties were the fundamental places where the Han Dynasty started. However, because of Queen Ye Jing'er's relationship, Langya County was in the entire local system of the Han Dynasty. It also occupies a very special position. The new generation of Young Guards are all literate, which has become one of the most basic requirements for the Young Guards.
After Ergou finished middle school, he was not admitted to a higher school. It happened that the Young Guards were recruiting soldiers in Jishi County last year. He had just turned sixteen and applied with the mentality of giving it a try. You know , it is difficult to join this army, but Ergou did not expect that he was actually admitted.
Ergou's family background is still not "pig; pig; island; novel www.zhuzhu+". As a second-generation immigrant, his family now owns a piece of land in Jishi County. Putting aside the income from the land, during the slack season, Everyone in the family can easily find a temporary job in the city, and the wages are paid every day, which is very convenient. The two elder brothers in the family have already built new houses and are living alone. He is the only one who still lives with his parents. He was admitted to the Young Guards, which made his parents happy and worried at the same time. For ordinary people, For ordinary people, wearing the distinctive military uniform of the Young Guards will impress everyone around them. But what is worrying is that after joining the army, you have to fight, and fighting is naturally dangerous.
But Ergou didn't realize all this, because he was surrounded by this huge joy. These days, all he received in the village were envious looks and complimentary congratulations.
After more than half a year of hellish training, Ergou set out with the troops to Wuguan, and the first battle he faced. It was an extremely cruel defense battle at Wuguan.
Now he is a crossbowman, controlling a divine machine crossbow in his hand. The battle location is at the top of a fortress, where he can clearly see all the scenes on the battlefield not far ahead.
Rivers of blood flowed in the trenches, and arms were broken. Stumped limbs and a head without a body filled his vision. In addition to blood red, his eyes were still blood red. At the age of sixteen, his stomach was churning, and he lay on the body of the divine machine crossbow. Retching. The body was shaking slightly. I just felt the urge to urinate.
This is tension. He said to himself in his heart, hold on, it will be fine after passing this level. Before setting foot on the front line, the squad leader told himself that it was nothing, they were the enemy, and if he did not kill the enemy, the enemy would kill him. When you're on the battlefield, don't treat the person opposite you as a human being. Just think of it as the chickens and sheep you kill at home.
But it is really difficult to do this! Ergou watched as the grenade crashed onto a head not far from the bunker. Surprisingly, the head and face were very clean, so clean that Ergou could clearly see the other person's face. It was a young face. face. He couldn't be much older than himself, and his eyes were wide open at the moment, seeming to be looking at Ergou.
"Boy,
Have a drink and stay calm! "A hand was placed on his shoulder. A small pot was put to his mouth. He turned around and saw that the person was his monitor.
"Squad leader, drinking on the battlefield is against military discipline." Ergou said nervously.
"This is a little thing I secretly got from the logistics. You are a new soldier. It is your first time to go to the battlefield. You must be uncomfortable. After a few sips, the drunkenness will get to your head and you will forget everything. After this battle, You are a veteran too." The squad leader smiled. He was a few years older than me, in his early twenties at most, but he had been a veteran for several years. He is also a native of Jishi County and comes from the world-famous Baiyang Village. "Don't be afraid, it's okay. This is what we do when there are newcomers in our class. When I was a recruit, the squad leader also did this."
Ergou took the small pot, tilted his neck and drank a few sips. He choked and coughed loudly, causing his companions on the fortress to laugh. In this class, Ergou is the youngest, so of course he will receive a lot of criticism. take care of.
"The Chu army is coming soon. This is a tough battle." The squad leader carefully put away the bottle with some wine left and said to Ergou: "They have filled in the trench. Next, you have to take aim." You shot. Weren't you among the top three in the recruit competition? Let's see today."
"Understood." Ergou, who had taken a few swigs of wine, felt hot all over his body at this moment. As expected, as the squad leader said, the feeling of retching and nausea was much better. He shook the divine machine crossbow and said loudly.
The Chu army poured out of the trench, and Ergou's eyes were filled with densely packed heads. At the front was a row of huge shields. The Chu army soldiers crowded behind the shields and advanced forward. Two hundred steps away, the squad leader's voice suddenly sounded in Ergou's ears: "Shoot!"
Ergou got excited and suddenly pulled the trigger. A strong vibration came from his hand. The divine machine crossbow mounted on the base of the iron frame kept bouncing backwards. Ergou desperately controlled the divine machine crossbow. Control the shooting route to prevent the crossbow arrows you shoot from becoming a landscape flying all over the sky.
The Chu army in front was covered by shields, but this time the shooting was aimed at the edge of the trench. Suddenly, all the divine crossbows were howling on the forefront of the fortress. The rows of Chu troops who had just climbed out of the trench fell to the ground like leeks being cut.
With a click, the pre-loaded crossbow arrows in the Shenji Crossbow were shot out in a very short time. Ergou paused and took a step back. A comrade who had been waiting on the side pulled open the arrow box of the Shenji Crossbow with a snap. Another soldier on the right immediately stuffed another arrow box into it, closed the baffle, and reset it with a click. Ergou took a step forward and controlled the crossbow with both hands again. Turning his head to look at the Shenji Crossbow, Ergou found that in this short period of time, the Chu army in the front had advanced about a hundred steps forward. With the sound of howling, these Chu soldiers rushed out from behind the shields and rushed towards the bunker at a high speed. Behind them, a blank was swept out by the Shenji Crossbow.
"Cross left and right, cover shooting!" The squad leader's voice sounded again.
As usual in training, hearing the squad leader's voice, Ergou turned the Shenji Crossbow half a body without thinking, but aimed at the bottom of another fort more than a hundred steps away from him. Almost at the same time, he saw the crossbow over there also aimed at him.
When the enemy rushed to a certain distance, the divine crossbow on the fortress could no longer shoot at the enemy in front and below due to the angle problem. Therefore, at this time, mutual cover was crucial.
The sound of the crossbow roared again, and the cross-fire almost knocked all the Chu soldiers who rushed over to the ground, but there were still a few who survived. These survivors roared, ignited the grenades in their hands, and threw them towards the fortress.
Ergou saw a grenade flying up from his side, but he could do nothing but watch. Suddenly, a shield appeared beside him. It was the squad leader. With a clang, the shield blocked the grenade again, followed by an explosion and a wail from below.
Ergou was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. Being on the fortress was not absolutely safe. If the grenade just now was thrown up, he would definitely not be able to escape.
After changing to another quiver, the squad leader yelled in his ear: "Shoot more accurately. If we miss a few bastards, they may cause harm to us."
"Got it!" Ergou shouted. Turning around the crossbow machine, he suddenly found that the open space in his sight was now crowded with Chu soldiers. Just when they turned the machine head to cover each other, more Chu soldiers crawled out.
There were ten soldiers in their fortress. Ergou and the other two controlled the crossbow machine, and the remaining seven were responsible for covering. At this time, Ergou could no longer care about many things. The crossbow machine kept whistling, shooting down the enemies within the range one by one, and there was no need to aim. The other seven people lit grenades and threw them under the fortress. The sound of explosions rang continuously, and even the reinforced concrete fortress felt shaky at this moment.
Shooting forward, then turning the angle and shooting at the fortress not far from him, Ergou mechanically repeated these two actions. Suddenly, his eyes froze. Several grenades exploded above the fortress he was covering. He clearly saw that the body of a comrade in a guards uniform was thrown high up, and the crossbow machine tilted and fell down. The Chu army below cheered.
The bodies of several comrades appeared on the fortress. Ergou could see their blood. They threw grenades downwards, and the Chu army who were cheering just now were immediately blown down.
But soon, those comrades were shot down by arrows from below, and their bodies fell down from the fortress. Anger filled Ergou's chest all of a sudden. He roared, pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrows flew in that direction with a whistle. One by one, the Chu army fell under the fortress with crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies.
A grenade exploded behind him. Ergou heard the screams, but he had no time to look back. He just kept turning the trigger until the crossbow in the divine crossbow was shot out. He took a step back and waited for his comrades to load the arrows. He took off a grenade from his waist, lit the fuse, and threw it under the fortress. When he heard the familiar sound of the reset, he rushed forward again and started shooting.
At this moment, the previous nausea and vomiting feelings were gone, and his pupils were filled with the figure of the opponent.
Behind the first line of defense, Wu Ya looked at the fierce fight in front. The invention of gunpowder has indeed changed the mode of combat. Such tragic casualties were unimaginable in the past.
"Issue the retreat order and abandon the first line of defense."
"Division Commander, we haven't collapsed yet. The first line of defense can still hold. How long has the war started? Are we going to abandon the first line of defense?" Behind him, the deputy division commander roared.
"Hold on a little longer. Even if we kill more enemies, our people will soon be dead. What we want is victory, not face." Wu Ya showed a cruel smile on his face, "Soon they will know what price they have to pay." (To be continued.)
