Chapter 626 (1/2)
”Thank you for your instruction.” Jamil respectfully took the beef jerky, threw one piece into his mouth, and carefully put away the others. At the same time, he kept in mind that although these small things are not impressive, they are all the experience accumulated by veterans.
”I really don't have anything else to teach you. I should know that your officers should teach you in training.” Veteran Jim then said lazily, ”the only thing I can tell you is that if you want to live, you can't be counselled. The faster you die, because bullying is a common disease of all people. The more timid you are, the easier it is for the enemy to come to you. The more fierce you are, the better. When you are more vicious than everyone else, the battlefield is not dominating you, but you are dominating the battlefield 。”
”I see!” Jamil heavily nodded, forced to stand up his not very strong chest, want to show a vicious expression, but how to look at the momentum is not enough.
”Coming!” Lazy as if he had not yet been fully awake, Jim suddenly sat up straight, his eyes shining, and a fierce breath came to his face.
Jamil could not help but shiver. He felt that he was no longer sitting in front of the kind middle-aged uncle, but a fierce beast.
This is the true face of the veterans.
On the walls of Hukou castle, similar to Jim's, can be found everywhere.
They changed from the most lazy and indifferent group to the most serious and vicious group.
At the beginning, Jamil was confused. He didn't know why Uncle Jim, who was a little kind-hearted, suddenly became so serious.
Then all sorts of strange shouts and the sound of horses' hooves came at the same time.
The horror made Jamil pale and sweating. He soon got wet and stuck to his body.
He was obviously not in the mood to care about it now. He was curled up behind the wall, and the sound of centurion's shouts echoed in his ears.
”Hold on, hold on. They're just testing now. They're not allowed to launch a counterattack until they're closer.”
”Everyone, stay away. Arrow rain is coming.”
”Don't mess around and follow my orders.”
Those veterans who, like Jim, have experience in fighting with Odin orcs, even if they don't have the reminders and orders of these middle and low-level commanders, know how to do it. Although their spirit and spirit have changed, their bodies have not changed much. They are close behind the women's wall, and some of them are still keeping their eyes closed.
The new soldier like Jamil, who has never been on the battlefield, is different. Although he has joined the broken pulse defense line for a long time and has no less training at ordinary times, he is still a recruit.
The spirit is highly tense, the body is like a spring, is pulled tightly, for a while and a half will be OK to say, as time goes on, almost cramps.
Listening to the wails and hooves outside the city wall, time becomes more difficult.
At this moment, they felt like they were blind and had no idea what was going on outside.
Although his Centurion repeatedly reminded him that Uncle Jim had just warned him, Jamil still had no way to control his fear and curiosity.
In the heart secretly tells oneself, only looks at, only looks at should have nothing.
Still thinking, the body has taken action involuntarily, looking out from the gap between the women's walls.
”Be careful!” Before Jamil's head was fully extended, he was knocked to the ground.
Then countless arrows roared to the wall, through the cracks of the women's wall, and smashed down.
Seven or eight of the women's walls, including Jamil's attempt to peep out of the wall.
If Jamil's head is still there, it's still unknown whether he can avoid it completely.
Most of these arrows are bone or stone arrows, which are obviously lack of lethality. However, if they are hit, they will still not have good fruits to eat. Even if they are not dead, they will have to have their heads broken and bleeding.
”Do you want to die? Those hairy savages are used to starting with the arrow rain to intimidate them. Didn't your captain tell you? Those who are killed by their arrow rain are all fools like you. Why do such fools emerge in endlessly every year? ” Jim got up from Jamil and rolled to the back of the battlements, and scolded with anger.
At the same time, he did not forget to pull Jamil and take him to the dead corner of the arrow.
”I I... ” Like a fish on the shore, Jamil kept opening his mouth, but he didn't spit out for a long time. He was not only frightened by the danger, but also by the scene outside the city that he had just seen.
The most profound thing left behind was the rain of arrows, which seemed to cover the whole sky. It was not frightening.
Under the wall, there are countless Odin orcs riding their horses in the not spacious space, and send an arrow to the top of the wall.
Judging from their strong arms and bowing speed, we can see that these people came from the wolf family who are good at shooting.The Odin orcs are not simply intimidated with arrow rain, they are still using this method to cover their movements under the city.
They are clearing the roadblocks in preparation for a full-scale siege.
Because this is not a sudden siege, years ago, all the soldiers of the whole broken vein line knew that the orcs of Odin would attack on a large scale in the next year.
Since then, they have begun to make preparations, and Hukou fort is no exception.
The outside of the city is full of traps, tunnels, and simple refuse stakes.
If the orcs want to attack the city wall, they have to clear these artificial barriers first. This will greatly delay their attack.
I just forgot, this sentence, Jamil finally did not say, thanks to veteran Jim: ”just thank you uncle.”
”It's for the sake of the good wine.” Jim snorted coldly, ”if you want to die next time, I won't have a chance to pay attention to you.”
”No, no more!” Jamil accompanied with a smile, more or less touched the bottom of this cold hearted veteran, ”if I can survive this pass, I will invite uncle to drink the best wine.”
”I hope there is such a chance.” Jim was very indifferent to this, and seemed to have no confidence in Jamil.
Jamil didn't feel too much. He had the cheek to ask, ”Uncle Jim, I have some questions. I don't know if I can ask them.”
”You're curious.” Jim glanced at him, threw another piece of beef jerky into his mouth and chewed it slowly. ”Those animals want to attack. There's still some time to spare. Let's just pass the time. What's the discovery? It doesn't have to do with the appearance just now, does it? ”
”Why didn't the general let the archers fight back? If they are allowed to clear the roadblocks, no matter how many roadblocks we have set up before, they will rush under the wall in two days Jamil asked the biggest question in his heart.
If their archers take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, it will greatly delay the speed of the other side to clear the roadblocks.
”Yes, you are not stupid.” Jim said with rare praise, ”how can generals not think of all the problems you can think of as a new recruit? If it had been done in the past, it would have been done for a long time, but now, the arrow can be saved a little bit
”Why?” Jamil was even more puzzled.
”Fool, of course, to launch a counterattack! Now is the time when they are most careful and have the most strict protection. Even if they mobilize the archers, the damage is relatively limited. Besides delaying for one or two days, it is not of great significance to expose our archers to their attacks. If we launch a counterattack when they flee, it will be very serious. At that time, they will be nailed on their backs. ” Answered veteran Jim.
Although he was beaten to the end, his insight and contacts at a high position still exist, which makes him know something that ordinary soldiers don't know. The explanation just given just now is absolutely beyond the ordinary soldiers' ability, and his words even reveal some high-level information.
Jamil's brow wrinkled into a knot in one's heart, and the doubt in his heart was even more serious. ”Uncle Jim said it was ok, but all the premise was based on defeating those orcs. Now the number of Odin orcs is more than ten times that of us. It is a problem whether we can prevent it, let alone defeat it, and any more arrows will be useless.”
”Hey, hey Jim said with a mysterious smile, ”of course, we have secret weapons. You can wait and see. I hope your chin won't be shaken off by then.”
The secret weapon in Jim's mouth is naturally the black powder just prepared by the broken vein defense line.
Due to the short time, although the blood fort from the Yongye army leader eat a lot of black powder.
But the experimental training is very little. Even those operators, most of them are still at the theoretical level. They only know that the new weapons they operate are powerful. They must be cautious and cautious. If they are a little careless, they will blow themselves and their teammates to the sky.
I don't know what a huge method is, let alone soldiers like Jamil. They lack brains and can't imagine it.
When the barrel of gunpowder swirls and smashes into the Odin Orc siege team.
