A soldier named Niu Er in the firearms battalion was pushing a general cannon forward with other battalion soldiers. However, not far away, he heard the roar of the cannon from the direction of Xinpingbao.
He was frightened.
The cannon fired from Xinpingbao before killed several battalion soldiers.
So as soon as he heard the sound of the cannon, he immediately got under the general cannon, pressed his body tightly to the ground, held his head in his hands and pressed it against the dirt.
The miserable shouts around him reached his ears one after another, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to move, for fear that if he moved, he would become the target of a cannon attack.
After a while, the screams around him subsided.
Then he slowly raised his head and looked out cautiously through the fingers covering his eyes.
Wow!
After just one look, he couldn't help but lie on the ground and vomited.
What caught the eye was a severed arm, with bright red flesh and blood turned out, like a pig's hind leg chopped open with a knife, and even the white bone stubble could be clearly seen.
Next to the arm was half a corpse, with a dent in the chest. Through the clothes, it looked like someone had dug a hole from the inside, and a bloody bone stubble poked out from the leak in the clothes.
After vomiting for a while, Niu Er found that the sound of cannons had stopped and bravely crawled out from under the general cannon.
He glanced around the hidden cannon.
Four of the other five people who also pushed the general's cannon with him died, leaving only Wang Dazhuang, who was usually arrogant, still alive.
However, Wang Dazhuang's lower body was gone, and he was losing more air than in. He was hopeless.
In his heart, he was glad that he immediately hid under the general's cannon when he heard the sound of the cannon, otherwise he would die here like everyone else.
"Brother Dazhuang, go to sleep. It won't hurt when you sleep." Niu Er couldn't bear to see Wang Dazhuang in pain.
Wang Dazhuang, who had lost his lower body, didn't think he could survive. It would be better to die happily than to live in pain like this.
cough! cough!
Wang Dazhuang looked at Niu Er and wanted to say something, but all he coughed out was blood foam. He hummed several times in his throat, but no words came out. Finally, he tilted his head and lost his breath completely.
Niu Er looked sad.
A familiar companion in the camp died in front of his eyes. Even though he knew that he was not safe now, he still couldn't help but feel sad.
Niu Er, who was guarding the general's cannon and several corpses, did not dare to run away.
Just when he got out from under the general's cannon, he saw with his own eyes that the battalion soldiers who were pushing the cannon like him fled to the back. However, before they could escape very far, they were shot with arrows by the soldiers beside the general who were guarding the back. Ya drove back again.
No soldier in the battalion could escape past these soldiers.
Several of the soldiers who were not killed by their opponents' cannons were killed by their own bows and arrows.
Niu Er knew in his heart that he was no different from other soldiers in the camp. It was impossible to escape. The general's personal soldiers would not let soldiers like him escape back to the camp, so he simply stayed next to the general's cannon, at least not He was thought to be a deserter by the vicious soldiers and executed.
There were only a few people left around the twelve general cannons.
Under the shelling from the direction of Xinpingbao, many battalion soldiers who were pushing the cannon were killed or injured. When they fled in disorder, some of them were executed by the soldiers holding down the formation. In the end, there were not many battalion soldiers left, and they were not enough to kill the twelve soldiers. The gate pushed the cannon to the front of the formation.
However it didn't last long.
Niu Er saw a hundred or so battalion soldiers coming from the direction of the rear army, many of whom were familiar faces from the firearms battalion.
I knew in my heart that these people were here to replace those who were killed or wounded and push the general's cannon.
The surviving battalion soldiers like Niu Er waited patiently for the arrival of other battalion soldiers. Only when they arrived could they gather the manpower to push the cannon forward.
Soon, hundreds of battalion soldiers rushed over.
Previously, only five or six people could push each cannon. In order to deliver these cannons to Xinpingbao City faster, Yang Guozhu sent twice as many battalion troops.
The general cannon next to Niu Er did not suffer any damage from the bombardment, so a dozen new battalion soldiers came to him.
"Niu Er, let's help you." A camp soldier who was familiar with Niu Er said.
Niu Er curled his lips when he heard this.
He knew that these people were here to help him, but they were forced to come here by the generals above. He didn't believe that these people were willing.
However, he didn't say anything unnecessary.
Because he knew that he was single and weak, and his words were not strong enough to fart, so he might as well work with others to transport the general cannon to Xinpingbao City.
Only by transporting the cannon to Xinpingbao City, he would no longer have to guard the general cannon and become the target of attacks by bandits on the top of the city.
The group of people began to push the general cannon to move forward.
Although there were more people pushing the cannon, Niu Er was not lazy. Instead, he stuck close to the side of the general cannon and pushed the general cannon forward with others.
Doing this does not mean how dedicated he is, but he knows that only by standing next to the general cannon can he be able to hide under the general cannon one step ahead of others when he is attacked by the bandits in Xinpingbao City.
The reason why he didn't die under the bombardment of the bandits like the others before was because he escaped under the general's cannon.
boom! boom! boom!
The sound of artillery sounded again from the direction of the city head of Xinpingbao.
Niu Er reacted very quickly, one step ahead of the others around him, crawled under the general's cannon, and covered his head with both hands.
At this time, he felt someone bump into him, and immediately understood that there was someone else who wanted to hide under the general's cannon just like him.
He didn't care about others, and kept his body firmly pressed to the ground, with one leg tightly pressed against the body of the vehicle carrying the general's cannon, preventing those who climbed in from behind from pushing him out.
I don't know how many people got under the general's cannon. Niu Erjie felt that his body was heavy and heavy, and it was obvious that more than one person was pressing on him.
The familiar screams made him unable to care about chasing away the person pressing on him.
The sound of gunfire soon stopped, and he was in the mood to pay attention to his surroundings.
He found that this time there were no screams around him, and the place where the screams came closest felt like it was still some distance away from him.
"Get up, get up, the gunfire has stopped." Niu Er himself was suppressed by others and could not move, so he had to remind the people on him to let them down.
As he finished speaking, his body relaxed and the person pressing him moved away, allowing him to move freely.
When he climbed out from under the general cannon, he saw four or five corpses left on the ground seven or eight steps away from him, with blood flowing all over the ground.
It was the same situation as the last time he got out from under the general's cannon, except this time, other people were hit by the cannons of the bandits, and he and the other people around the general's cannon were lucky enough not to be the victims of the cannon attack. Target.
