Chapter 4 Attack of the Tartars
Zhao Wen followed closely behind Song Hu, and beside him was Xiao San.

"We were ordered to guard the west side of the city wall. When the Tartars attack the city, I will stabilize it. If anyone delays me, then don't blame me for being rude." The general glanced coldly at the The people on the city wall then said: "Of course, if you behave well, the higher-ups will also give you silver rewards. Killing a Tartar will reward you with five taels of silver, and wounding a Tartar will reward you with two taels of silver. Hmph, silver It’s easy to make money, it depends on whether you have the ability.”

When the soldiers heard that there was money to take, their eyes lit up instantly.

Poor these frontier soldiers, they can't get much money at all throughout the year.The moon ringing of each month looks quite high, and it can be as high as three or four.However, such a high moon is not all silver.It also includes other things such as food, cloth, etc., and there are only so many of these things added up.

And, this is the time before.Since the apocalypse, the imperial court's finances have gradually become difficult, and it is not bad to get half of it throughout the year.

Coupled with the fact that he will be exploited by the officers, the money he will get will be even less.

Therefore, the life of the frontier army is very poor now, otherwise, the mandarin ducks and jackets on Song Hu and others would not be so shabby.

Zhao Wen squinted his eyes and scanned the crowd. He found that the mandarin duck battle jackets on these soldiers were extremely damaged. The original bright red had already been stained dark blue by dirt, reflecting blue light under the sunlight.

"I saw someone on the forum explaining that the soldiers at the end are the most pitiful group of people. I didn't believe it at the time, but now I do." Zhao Wen muttered.

Song Hu turned his head, looked at Zhao Wen, and said, "Brother, what are you muttering about? Could it be that you are afraid? Let me tell you, the more you are afraid, the easier it is to die. I don't think you have been on the battlefield before. When I'm on the wall, you stand behind me."

When Zhao Wen heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Am I afraid? Just kidding, I have a big black star in my left hand and a Type 67 grenade with a wooden handle in my right. I will be afraid? Are you kidding me?"

Having said that, Zhao Wen still looked grateful.After all, Song Hu was also thinking of himself.

"Everyone, go up the city wall!"

Just as Zhao Wen was thinking wildly, the general shouted suddenly in his ear.

"Rush rush!"

In an instant, the whole team became noisy, and everyone rushed towards the city wall with blind eyes.

When he was under the city wall, Zhao Wen didn't realize how high the city wall of the Xuan Mansion was. After all, after seeing the hundreds of meters tall buildings in later generations, there are basically not many things that can catch Zhao Wen's eyes in this era.

But when Zhao Wen stood on the city wall, he realized that he was wrong.

The Great Wall under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town starts from the Sihai Metallurgical Institute in the east and ends at the Xiyang River in Yanggao County, Shanxi in the west (roughly the provincial boundary between Shanxi and Hebei today).The Great Wall has been divided into inner and outer sections since the Sihaiye Institute. The outer Great Wall is called the "side wall", and the inner Great Wall is called the "secondary wall". The Great Wall under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town is the eastern section of the outer Great Wall.

The entire Great Wall is hundreds of kilometers long, like a giant dragon hovering on the ground, winding and winding until the end of the field of vision.

Zhao Wen stood on the city wall, feeling the breath from Daming.A sense of heroism arises spontaneously. This is Daming, this is my Yangyang Huaxia, this is the giant dragon who has come to pay tribute from all nations, and has always stood in the east of the world.

The people on this land have created countless glorious histories, and this land has always been the center of the world.

However, all this came to an abrupt end with the entry of the Qing Dynasty.

As soon as Zhao Wen thought of the humiliation and oppression suffered by later generations over the past 100 years, he suddenly felt a sense of responsibility.

Zhao Wen looked into the distance, clenched his fists, and said with determination: "This country can only belong to people in this land, and no one can touch it. It doesn't matter who you are!"

"I haven't asked your name yet?" Song Hu suddenly patted Zhao Wen's shoulder and asked with a simple and honest face.

"Zhao Wen!"

"Good name!" Song Hu said with a smile on his face.

"Don't talk, stay on the edge of the city wall. If anyone dares to speak again, don't blame me for being rude."

The general held a long whip in his hand and kept swinging it, making a crackling sound.

Song Hu glanced at the general, and when the general went away, he said to Zhao Wen, "This guy is called Wang Hai, he is from a hundred households, that is, he is a general. Don't look at him always looking arrogant, but This man is fierce in front of us, and he is like a dog in front of Shangguan."

"Although we belong to Xuanfu Town, we are quite far away from the main town of Xuanfu Town. Our place is Dushikou, and it is under the management of Dushi Maying on North Road."

Only then did Zhao Wen realize that he was not in Xuanfu Town, but in a place called Dushikou.No wonder there is always something weird here.

"Be smart later, don't poke your head out, let me tell you, these Tartar soldiers are fierce, especially the thieves who shoot with bows and arrows. If you shoot your left eyelid, you won't be able to hit your right eyelid."

"Thank you Brother Song for reminding me!" Zhao Wengong said sincerely, cupping his hands.

About half an hour later, bursts of smoke suddenly appeared in the distance.

Song Hu narrowed his eyes and said to Zhao Wen who was standing behind him, "Here we come!"

Zhao Wen looked at the soaring smoke and dust, his palms gradually became wet, and his body began to tremble.

Song Hu felt that Zhao Wen's breathing was gradually getting thicker, so he turned his head and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's like this for the first time on the battlefield. When I went to the battlefield for the first time, I even peed my pants!"

Zhao Wen smiled when he heard Song Hu's words, and couldn't help but relax, but as the smoke kept approaching, his gradually relaxed heart hung up again.

"Hey, it's still seven or eight miles away from the city wall. When we get closer, there will be a good show!"

Song Hu said jokingly.

"Good show? What good show?" Zhao Wen looked at Song Hu blankly, not knowing what to say.

"Just wait and see."

The tartars kept approaching, and just when Zhao Wen could see the faces of the tartars clearly, several deafening noises suddenly erupted from the most central city wall.

"This is?!" Zhao Wen opened his mouth wide, pointing at the most central city wall with a dull expression.

"Haha, I'm so scared, this is a general cannon. A cannonball is as big as the mouth of a bowl, a solid iron ball. Once it goes out, it will rot for miles!" Song Hu laughed and patted Zhao Wen's shoulders.

The central wall is much higher than the walls on both sides, so some heavy weapons are basically placed on the central wall.

"Hit it, hit it."

Just a few breaths after the sound of the cannon, deafening cheers resounded from the entire city wall.

Zhao Wen followed Song Hu's gaze and looked outside the city wall, only to see a few shells directly smashing into the Tartar army.

The shells kept rolling and bouncing on the ground, and the Tartars fell on their backs in an instant.

Cannonballs shuttled through the Tazi army formation at high speed. As long as anyone touched the cannonballs, they would be torn to pieces in an instant.

Zhao Wen stared blankly at all this. Although there are scenes like this in later war movies, no matter how real the movie is, it can't compare to the shock of personal experience.

"Grandma, beat me well, brothers upstairs, beat me hard." Song Hu shouted loudly towards the most central tower, even though those people couldn't hear him.

"Be careful, the Tartars are about to change their formation." Song Hu pointed at the Tartars whose formation was changing constantly in front, and said in a deep voice.

During the hundreds of years of fighting each other with the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars also figured out the Ming army's routines.

The moment the shells fell into the Tartar army formation, the entire Tartar army dispersed instantly.Dispersed formation is the best defense against shells, especially solid shells of this type.

The general cannons on the city wall kept bombarding, but except for the first few cannons that had some gains, the rest of the cannons had little effect.Some of the artillery pieces even failed to hit the Tartars' army formation at all.

The Tartars outside the city wall screamed strangely and rushed towards the city wall.

"Be careful, bow your head!"

Zhao Wenzheng was staring blankly at all this, when suddenly a big hand directly pressed down on his head, pressing down.

"Boom!"

Just when Zhao Wen's head was lowered to the bottom of the female wall, a few arrows slammed into the nearby city wall.

Looking at the trembling arrows, Zhao Wen felt a chill in his heart.If Song Hu hadn't pulled him just now, his head would probably be full of arrows by now.
