The Great Qin Empire---Qin Li

"Ten Thousand Victories!"

Accompanied by a cheer, the dark flag of the Qin army was planted on the arrow tower of the West City of Waihuang. Under the shooting of bows and crossbows, the arrow tower was covered with arrow feathers, as if it had suddenly grown countless feathers.

Heifu and his men were also scarred like the arrow tower, but they were in high spirits and did not care about the pain of their wounds. They raised their weapons and celebrated the victory of capturing the top of the city.

It turned out that just now, as Heifu's garrison climbed up the top of the city and stood firm, they used long soldiers in front and strong crossbows in the back to firmly guard the battlements with bamboo ladders, allowing the follow-up troops to climb the city one after another.

More and more black-robed Qin soldiers on the top of the city reversed the offensive and defensive situation.

The main force defending the city was the light knights raised by the Waihuang Ling. These people had not received special military training and fought only with temporary courage and without order. Fighting alone is fine, but when encountering this kind of attack and defense, it is difficult to persist when you are at a disadvantage. The Qin people's fierce attack like a tiger climbing a mountain put them under great pressure, and the Qingxia began to lose gradually.

The temporary recruited foreign civilians were even more so, they could only wave their flags and shout, and fight a favorable battle.

When the Qin soldiers began to slowly press on the top of the city, the invincible momentum made many Qingxia civilians who were not very determined begin to evade and retreat. Seeing that more and more people were killed, the Qin army seemed to have become the incarnation of death, pressing on them step by step, breaking the tight strings of this group of people.

One after another, the defenders began to turn around and flee. They had no way to retreat, so they jumped directly off the three-meter-high city wall. Some people accidentally broke their feet, but more people immediately got up and continued to run.

At this time, the Wei people who came to support from the south of the city also arrived, there were hundreds of them. He wanted to drive the Qin soldiers down the city, but he saw his panicked companions jumping over the wall and running towards him, which shocked him.

They didn't know the situation on the west wall of the city. Looking at the situation in front of them, they thought the city had collapsed. The human instinct for survival made them lose the courage to continue to die for the leader. First one, then ten, then a hundred, more and more young knights stopped fighting and began to flee into the city.

Among them, the one who ran the fastest and earliest was the young knight with thick beard who looked at Hei Fu when he just climbed up the city.

Hei Fu remembered that he was about 30 years old, with unkempt hair tied in a bun, wearing short clothes, holding a two-foot sword, and dressed like a typical ranger swordsman. When he saw Hei Fu climbing the city, the young knight raised his sword to fight against the enemy, and Hei Fu was still careful to guard against him.

Unexpectedly, the big man suddenly shouted "Protect Zhang Jun!" and then ran away through the chaotic battlefield on the city wall like flying. The action was so skillful, as if he had practiced it countless times in his mind, and Hei Fu was stunned...

Perhaps, he was the first light knight to jump off the city wall and escape, which set an example for the people behind him.

After the battle, Hei Fu learned that Zhang Er, the commander of Waihuang, was still on the south wall of the city!

Hei Fu was speechless.

So, how should we evaluate the light knight with beautiful beard? Say he is cowardly, but he has been holding on to the city wall for a long time and killed a Qin soldier who was the first to climb the city wall.

Say he is brave, but when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ran away, shouting such slogans, and others thought he was really going to protect his master.

"He is a smart man, but his behavior is really that of a bachelor." Hei Fu could only conclude like this.

Hei Fu quickly put the light knight behind his mind. After the battle, he began to check the casualties of his own village.

...

On the city wall that had just been through a fierce battle, the slightly humid air in the early morning was filled with a strong smell of blood, in addition to a hint of burnt smell, and even the smell of feces and urine. The three smells mixed together made people want to vomit...

Hei Fu did not vomit. From the bloody battle in the morning to the end, he had witnessed a lot of death and blood. His sword had cut off two arms and a head. The blade had been cut, and there was blood on it that could not be wiped off.

Not counting the favorable battle in Chenliu, this was the first time that Hei Fu really experienced the cruelty of ancient wars in person. He was not excited, but was a little shocked, but more numb.

Fortunately, he was lucky and only had some scratches in the battle, and he was not seriously injured.

But those Qin soldiers who climbed the top of the city first were not so lucky.

The leader of the first-to-climb garrison was not dead. He was leaning against the wall at this moment, closing his eyes weakly: in addition to the large and small blade wounds on his body, the sharp arrow directly penetrated his left palm, leaving a bloody wound on his rough right hand, but the leader's right hand still tightly grasped the sword, as if he could continue to fight.

Although the leader's men suffered heavy casualties, less than ten of the fifty were left. However, the military law was relatively lenient towards these "first-to-climb soldiers". It stipulated that as long as their garrison climbed the city first during the siege, it would be considered "surplus theory", and all fifty people could be promoted to one level. At the same time, the titles of those who died in the battle could be inherited by their descendants...

This is also the reason why people are willing to be the first-to-climb soldiers despite knowing the dangers. The greater the risk, the greater the benefit. For the Qin family, it is undoubtedly worthwhile to use one person's life to win a title for their descendants.

Military merit is not the achievement of one person at one time, but the career of a family for three generations.

Hei Fu cherishes his life, of course he will not choose such a tragic upgrade method, but he respects the soldiers who have been trapped in the battle. After bowing to the head of the garrison, he also asked the people in his garrison to help collect the bodies.

Speaking of which, the casualties in their garrison were actually not small. Ji Ying, Li Xian and others were injured, but they were all minor injuries. What Hei Fu was most worried about was Dongmen Bao.

Just now, this guy relied on his thick armor and almost fought ten people alone. He made great contributions for them to climb the top of the city, but after the battle, Hei Fu could not find him...

At this moment, the narrow city wall was blocked by corpses lying in all directions, some of which were from the Qingxia civilians and some from the Qin soldiers. It was a bit scary at first glance, and the weapons discarded randomly made it difficult to move on the city wall. Hei Fu walked around the top of the city with difficulty, turning over the prone corpses one by one, checking the bloody faces one by one, and looking for surviving men.

"A Bao... is here!" Finally, it was Xiao Tao who shouted, and Hei Fu and others hurried over and were stunned.

Dongmen Bao was lying in a pile of corpses. When he was turned out, he was soaked in blood and his leather armor was in tatters.

Hei Fu hurriedly called Ji Ying and Gong Ao, and they moved the corpses together and dragged Dongmen Bao out. After checking his pulse, he was still alive!

Hei Fu hurriedly asked Bu Cheng to come and see Dongmen Bao, because Bu Cheng once said that he knew some medical skills...

After a quick inspection, Bu Cheng told Hei Fu in a sweat that Dongmen Bao had a cut on his thigh by the spear, and there were seven or eight wounds on his back, shoulders, and arms. Blood kept seeping out, almost dyeing him into a bloody man!

"He must be sent to the camp for treatment by a doctor as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger!"

As soon as Bu Cheng said this, the people in Huyang Pavilion who were on good terms with Dongmen Bao immediately changed color.

"Didn't you boast that you can not only tell fortunes, but also know medical skills?" Hei Fu's face changed, and he grabbed Bu Cheng's collar and said.

"I have only learned some witchcraft skills and know some herbs. I can't treat wounds in the army. It takes a special wound doctor!" Bu Cheng hurriedly explained, but Hei Fu didn't have time to listen to his nonsense.

He pushed Bu Cheng away and rolled up his sleeves: "Then I'll do it myself!"

Bu Cheng murmured: "Captain, can you treat wounds? This can't be done carelessly, let's carry him down the city first."

Of course Hei Fu can. In his previous life, he learned some battlefield emergency first aid in the police academy. Dongmen Bao has symptoms of heavy bleeding in his limbs. The large blood vessels have been damaged. It must be treated immediately and absolutely cannot be delayed! Otherwise, his life will be in danger!

Although Dongmen Bao was reckless, he was brave in battle and loyal. From Huyang Pavilion to the army, he had always been Hei Fu's right-hand man.

What's more, he had a newborn baby at home waiting for his father's glorious return. In the past few months, Dongmen Bao had been talking about his "son" whom he had never met...

So no matter what, Hei Fu had to quickly remember the battlefield emergency rescue that he had almost forgotten, and he must save Dongmen Bao's life!

He took a deep breath and instructed Ji Ying and others: "You, take off your belt immediately!"
