Chapter 36 Going to the Battlefield

It was not until the afternoon that they entered the military camp in the north of the city. By this time, the battle on the city wall had ended. They saw wounded soldiers being carried in one after another from the outside. Many were missing arms and legs, and some were already dying. The whole The camp was filled with the smell of blood, which also made these new recruits realize that war is extremely cruel.

There are more than two thousand new soldiers arriving today. There are several other recruitment points. There are more than 6,000 new soldiers in total. The area on Goulan Street in the north of the city occupies one third.

This is exactly what the military predicted. There are six other temporary camps for recruiting new soldiers, and the total number is only 4,000, which is only twice as many as Goulan Street.

However, the overall quality of the recruits recruited from other places is indeed much higher than that here on Goulan Street. The ratio of combat soldiers to auxiliary soldiers is almost one to one! This isn't surprising. What's going on over there on Goulan Street? I can’t even get enough to eat, let alone any nutrition.

This is very important for the development of the human body. If the nutrition cannot keep up, if you still want to have good physical strength, then it is just an exception.

As for the experienced disciples sent by the big families on their own initiative, they will not appear here. They will be arranged in a higher-level military camp!

As soon as the six thousand recruits arrived here this time, people from other places looked at the Goulan Street group with squinting eyes, simply looking down on them and dismissing them!

On the Goulan Street side, they were naturally not to be outdone, and sometimes looked at Bai Yuzhe and his group. If there was any conflict, this group of people would be the absolute main force!

However, when they saw the wounded soldiers being carried over one after another, everyone's expressions became different. Some were scared, some were moved, and most of them were angry and passionate. The look that looked down on others just now had already been put away.

In fact, after many wounded soldiers were brought back, the treatment was ineffective, and everyone was in a bad mood when they saw the fresh lives passing away! No matter what, they died fighting to defend Floating City and the Kingdom of Yu!

And these people will also step onto the battlefield soon. Those who have joined the army from other parts of the floating city, although they feel that the status of the slums is indeed lower, they are also comrades, and they may have to fight side by side in the future.

Of course, the contempt mentality is gone, but the competitive mentality is definitely still there.

After a while, a group of people wearing armor, iron helmets, and swords across their waists came over. The man at the front was tall and tall, with blood still not wiped off his armor and face. His face was solemn, with a strong sense of majesty.

Five people came in, their footsteps were very steady, with bursts of neat clanging sounds!

"See the Lord of the City!" The veterans and generals in the military camp quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted the man, with respectful and admiring expressions on their faces!

The person who came was none other than Wang Zhenmin. In the eyes of the soldiers and people of Fucheng, he was definitely a good city lord and a good coach! When the recruits heard that it was the city lord, they quickly followed suit and saluted, even Bai Yuzhe and others were no exception.

After all, he came to join the army, and the military salute was not about kneeling down, so he had nothing to resist. Besides, he did have some understanding of this city lord's character, and his character was indeed very good.

"No need to be polite, everyone get up quickly. The defense of Floating City still requires the efforts of the soldiers. Here, on behalf of the people of Floating City, thank you!" Wang Zhenmin also returned a military salute, but in front of the soldiers, there was no What airs does he put on, and he seems very approachable.

After everyone stood up, the general who led the new recruits from Goulan Street walked up to Wang Zhenmin, whispered a few words in his ear, and then glanced at Bai Yuzhe and others quietly.

Obviously, he told Wang Zhenmin about the special features of Bai Yuzhe and others. The combination of superior soldiers in this team was very strange, and each one of them was so strong. Naturally, the recruiters were a little suspicious.

"Ten Mile Temple on Goulan Street?" Wang Zhenmin was slightly stunned after hearing this. He immediately thought of the fact that the main fighting force of the Chen family, including the head of the family and heirs, all died unexpectedly. The information he received at that time was that it was at the Ten Mile Temple on Goulan Street.

Obviously, the murderer must be this group of people.

He somewhat understood the whole story of this matter. It was just that Chen Jin, the second young master of the Chen family, bullied the weak because of some interests. For some reason, this group of beggars who were really weak in the first place turned into ironclads, leading to The result of the Chen family existing in name only.

Of course, the cause of this incident cannot be said to be Bai Yuzhe's fault, but Wang Zhenmin felt that these boys were really cruel! Wang Zhenmin also didn't expect that Bai Yuzhe and others would come to join the army, so he was somewhat relieved.

In any case, this group of people can destroy the Chen family and the head of the family, so their fighting power is definitely not weak. Although he had received information that most of the Chen family died from poison, he had no information about where the poison came from.

Moreover, at least some of them were killed by Bai Yuzhe and the others. Moreover, before that, the two young masters of the Chen family brought many people there, but most of them died, and even the two young masters were captured alive.

The above achievements are enough to prove that this group of people is definitely not weak. Wang Zhenmin is very happy to be able to contribute to Floating City at this time. After the war is over, if the floating city can be defended, then we will consider how to deal with it.

Wang Zhenmin glanced at Bai Yuzhe and others, gave him a smile, and then said nothing. He came to the military camp to visit the wounded soldiers.

After dinner, night falls, and the soldiers on the city wall have been rotated once. The floating city is now on level one alert, and a large number of soldiers are patrolling the city wall all the time. The other soldiers who were replaced took this opportunity to rest quickly.

It had been four days since the Silver Wolf Nation's army pressed down on the border and began to attack the city. The opponent launched at least one siege every day, or even several, and the soldiers were already exhausted.

Nowadays, there are only more than 40,000 people in the floating city who can actually participate in the battle.

At night, it suddenly started to rain lightly, and the fine raindrops kept falling from the sky, bringing a bit of chill to the late autumn season, and even a touch of coldness to the tense floating city.

boom! boom! boom……

Suddenly, war drums started beating and resounded throughout Beicheng. This sound is too familiar in Beicheng, but this is the first time in so many days that it has sounded in the middle of the night.

This sound of drums means that the Silver Wolf Kingdom is about to attack the city again. This is the drumming reminder of the patrolling soldiers, and at the same time, many soldiers are summoned to prepare for the battle!

Soon, the soldiers guarding the floating city were already moving. Even though it was late at night, no one dared to delay at all when they heard the sound of drums. The city lord Wang Zhenmin appeared on the city wall immediately.

For so many days, he had never returned to the city lord's palace to rest. He had always set up a simple tent on the city wall.

"Speed ​​up, go up to the city wall immediately, prepare to meet the enemy, everyone do their own thing." The sound of drums came, and a captain immediately appeared in front of Bai Yuzhe's group and began to issue instructions one after another.

Bai Yuzhe's brigade actually has thirty-nine people. They are all the superior soldiers selected from Goulan Street. They have not yet been integrated with the superior soldiers from other areas.

Not only them, the other recruits have also begun to get busy. Even the auxiliary soldiers have their own things to do.

Soon, Bai Yuzhe and others appeared on the city wall, and everyone immediately looked towards the bottom of the city wall. However, the night was too dark, the drizzle was continuous, and there was no moonlight in the sky, so most people couldn't see very far.

They could only see a few torches surging across the Yuqing River, approaching the Yuqing River quickly. But anyone with good eyesight can see that although there are few torches, there are many people gathered around each torch.

When the army attacks the city, it is of course impossible for everyone to hold a torch at night, as long as they can see the road ahead and the people around them. This not only conceals the number of one's own troops, but also saves the fighting soldiers some trouble.

Anyway, there are torches on the city wall, so their target cannot be missed!

Soon, they approached the Yuqing River and began to skillfully build a floating bridge on it. In the past few days, they have needed to build this kind of floating bridge every time they attack the city, because every time they retreat, the floating city defenders will definitely find a way to destroy the floating bridge.

"Archers, prepare to release arrows, position on the pontoon!" On the city wall, everyone was already ready. Following a general's loud order, the archers had already picked up their bows and nocked arrows, with the arrows pointing slightly upward.

With the commander's order, all the arrows were shot out!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Thousands of arrows were fired at the pontoon bridge above the Yuqing River. The night and dense drizzle covered their traces well. However, the soldiers below who were protecting the auxiliary soldiers on the pontoon bridge had already noticed it, and each of them raised their shields and began to defend themselves.

Arrows continued to shoot, and screams from below also sounded from time to time. People continued to be killed by arrows and fell into the river. As long as you fall into the water, in this dark night, even if you are only slightly injured, it will be difficult to survive.

Attacking the city at night has its advantages and disadvantages, but since the Silver Wolf Kingdom has made a decision, it will naturally not give up halfway. I saw that more soldiers had jumped onto the half-built pontoon bridge, ignoring the dense rain of arrows and using their shields and bodies to protect the auxiliary soldiers who were building the bridge.

Before crossing the river, the lives of these auxiliary soldiers were more precious than those of their combat soldiers.

In less than half an hour, the pontoon bridge was completed.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

In an instant, the soldiers of the Silver Wolf Kingdom let out bursts of angry shouts of killing, waved their weapons, and began to rush towards the city wall, with ferocious looks on their faces!

Another siege battle has begun!
