A roar came from not far away from Ye Zi. She had never known before that she could hear so many emotions from a roar, fear, regret, despair, and perhaps some relief.
Ever since the first enemy fell in front of the wall not far away, such roars have been ringing in her ears, both from the enemy and from her own people.
Some of the arrows shot by the horse thieves from outside had already hit the door she was guarding, which meant that the enemy in front was not effectively suppressed. Ye Zi had to hide in a dead corner filled with debris.
Team Leader Zhou certainly didn't have the time to interrogate the two escaped women. She was very hesitant as to whether she should follow Ji Xun's order and continue to watch over the two people, or leave them alone and support the front line which was so close.
"Listen to me, listen to me." Jiang Jie knocked on the door and said, "The enemy has come to our door, you can't keep us here. If we can't hold on, won't we fall into the hands of the bandits?"
"There is a whole platoon of soldiers blocking our way thirty meters ahead. Behind us are the reserve troops of Battalion Commander Wang and Deputy Battalion Commander Ji. Stay in your room and don't have any extra thoughts." Ye Zi said.
"What's the point of having more people? They have far more people than us, and they can fight better than us."
"We have high walls and fortifications, so we'll be fine."
"There was a loud noise at the school gate just now. We don't know what happened yet! Maybe someone blew up the gate."
"You are sick. How can you always encourage others to be more ambitious?"
"Ye Zi, you are also a girl, and you know best what we are afraid of." Wu Qi said at this time.
Jiang Jie suddenly changed her tone to one of complaint, "Yes. Have you ever thought about what the bandits would do to us women if we were surrounded by them?"
"Don't you really trust our guard battalion to protect you?"
"Besides being violent in front of your own people, what else can you guards do? Have they ever fought in a war or killed an enemy? I don't believe they won't be scared in front of the enemy. If they are scared, what do you want us girls to do? Are you trying to force us to death?"
Ye Zi's heart also tightened. Although she was much more confident than Jiang Jie, she began to think that it might be better to take these two people to the safe area in the rear.
At this time, a man came over here on a tricycle. There was a red cross on a white background on the tricycle, and a man was lying in the back of the tricycle, making a low humming sound. Ye Zi understood that this was a medical worker transporting the wounded to the school hospital in the rear. The few cars that could be driven in the school were converted into tanks and ambulances, but there were few people stationed at the wall where Ye Zi was, and it was not far from the school hospital, so only such guys were assigned.
"How was the fight going up front?" She couldn't help but ask, sticking her head out from behind the pile of debris.
"The enemy is too crazy, they have no fear of death. They shot arrows and threw axes at us through the wall." The medic pedaled hard and shouted, "In just ten minutes, we killed more than a dozen horse bandits and repelled two attacks. Several people were shot and wounded by arrows. The brother at the back was the most unlucky. He was hit in the shoulder by a thrown axe. His collarbone was broken."
"You'd better leave quickly. The road here is not safe. The enemy's arrows can reach here." Ye Zi reminded.
"I know, you have to be careful too. I think we should retreat." The man waved at Ye Zi, but he suddenly froze halfway through the wave.
Ye Zi heard a slight crash. She looked closely and almost cried out. Twenty or thirty arrows fell from the front and back of the tricycle. The arrows were not dense, but one of them happened to pierce the back of the medical worker's head. The medical worker fell off the tricycle before he could even make a sound. He fell to the ground and died. The wounded behind him seemed to have been hit by arrows as well and cried out even more miserably.
More shouts and screams were heard from the battlefield not far away. It seemed that the last round of arrows was just a prelude to cover the charge.
Ye Zi called out twice, but there was no response from the medical staff. Instead, the wounded man started shouting, "Help me, someone, someone help me, they are going to shoot arrows again!"
"Wait, I'm here to save you!" Ye Zi looked around and saw a wooden board leaning against the wall with the words "Recycling of various electrical appliances and old books" written on it. So he leaned his spear against the wall and picked up the board to use as a shield.
"Wait a minute, you can't hold up the sign and push the cart by yourself. Let us out and we will help you save people." Ye Zi was about to run over there when Wu Qi said from the window.
"Are you sure? It will be dangerous." Ye Zi asked.
"What else can we do now? There is nowhere to escape, so we can only fight." Wu Qi replied, "I have learned some emergency care, so I can help."
"If you let us out, I... I am willing to help too." Jiang Jie also said.
Ye Zi glanced at Wu Qi and found that she looked determined, so he stopped hesitating, took out the key and unlocked the door. "I'll push the cart in a while, Wu Qi will help the wounded stop bleeding, and Jiang Jie will hold up this sign to block the arrows."
The two came out of the house, and Wu Qi quickly ran towards the wounded. Jiang Jie was a little dazed. Ye Zi stuffed the wooden board into her hand and said, "Follow me." He also ran towards the tricycle.
The tricycle was about twenty meters away from the prison hut. Ye Zi ran to the front of the car in a few steps. She looked around and saw no new arrows being shot down, so she hurried to check on the condition of the medical staff and the wounded with Wu Qi.
The medic's head hit the ground at a strange angle, his face buried in the dirt, an arrow on the back of his head still pointed up to the sky, his hand still waved, one leg still hanging on the pedal of the tricycle. The blood had already flowed all over the area around his face, thick and forming a small puddle.
Wu Qi didn't dare approach the nurse, and Ye Zi didn't dare to turn him over. She could only put her hand on the side of his neck... It was like temperatureless rubber, lifeless.
Wu Qi had already climbed onto the tricycle. She squatted beside the wounded man, holding his legs, and gently pushed aside his jeans that were pierced by the arrow. She said, "The wound on his shoulder has been bandaged simply, but it's still bleeding a lot. He was shot in the thigh just now, and the arrowhead is stuck in the flesh, so it's hard to pull out, but the injury is not serious."
Ye Zi saw Jiang Jie also running over. She screamed in fear when she saw the medical worker falling to the ground. She raised her "shield" to the medical worker in panic, walked with her neck tilted like a goose, and didn't dare to look at him at all.
"He's died. We have to hurry." Ye Zi moved the medical worker's feet off the car and dragged his body to the side, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
"I'm sorry." She said in her heart.
It took Jiang Jie a long time to climb onto the bike from the back and put the wooden board behind herself and the injured, forming a small shelter. Ye Zi looked at the medical worker on the ground and said, "That's it. I'll ride the bike and we'll go to the hospital."
Ye Zi got on the tricycle and pedaled hard, but the tricycle didn't move. She turned around and saw the two people behind her looking at him. Jiang Jie suddenly said, "I've lost weight!"
"Quickly see what's stuck the wheel." Ye Zi said unhappily.
"There are two arrows, one stuck in the wheel, and the other stuck in the gear of the chain." Wu Qi jumped off the car and squatted on the ground and said, "They are stuck very tightly, I can't pry them open."
"I'll do it." Ye Zi jumped out of the car and looked under it. Before she reached the wheel, she felt her heart tighten and her fingertips hurt. An arrow shaft was inserted in front of her hand, causing a streak of blood on her index finger.
"Arrows! Hide!" she shouted and dodged in the angle between the seat and the basket. At the same time, sparse arrows were sticking in front, behind, left and right of them.
"Ah! Help!" Jiang Jie was holding the wooden board when an arrow shot her exposed trouser leg. Perhaps the cold arrowhead touched her calf. She screamed and jumped out from behind the board. She stumbled back to the hut, still shouting, "I don't want to die."
"Idiot, hide quickly, the arrows are coming again." Ye Zi shouted loudly.
But Jiang Jie ran towards the hut like a madman, regardless of everything. Just when she was halfway there, another rain of arrows came. An arrow pierced Jiang Jie's back and knocked her to the ground.
"Ah~" She screamed like a pig being slaughtered, but she started coughing violently after a few screams. The arrow seemed to have injured her lungs. She just lay on the ground, holding her throat and gasping for breath. She turned her head with difficulty and looked in the direction of Ye Zi, her eyes full of fear and desire.
"Stupid woman." Ye Zi cursed angrily and wanted to rush forward to drag her back, but the third wave of arrows came again. Jiang Jie's luck was even worse this time. Two arrows hit her body. She was shaking and could no longer utter a word.
Ye Zi could clearly see her mouth making the shape of "Save me.", and then the light in her eyes slowly faded away... But she seemed a little numb now. In today's day, starting with Niu Guangcheng and Li Qiuxin, she saw too many people die.
She no longer looked into her eyes, but crawled under the car and pulled out the arrow that was stuck in the tricycle with two fingers.
Then, after a few rounds of arrow rain, Ye Zi jumped onto the car and pedaled hard. She found that the enemy's arrows were getting denser and denser, and there must be more and more archers on the platform outside the wall. This means that more and more people are attacking the wall. I don't know if the front line can hold on...
The tricycle was moving a little slowly, but at this time there was no more rain of arrows falling from the sky, but the shouting and screaming was getting louder and louder.
"Not good! It seems like the situation outside can no longer hold on." The wounded man suddenly said, "I have been listening to Yue Lao San's gun, and his gunshots have stopped."
Ye Zi looked back at the front line at the end of the path, and saw several figures holding torches, knives and axes rushing towards this side. They were running much faster than the tricycle carrying three people.
She pulled the brake and jumped out, then pulled Wu Qi off the bike, "Quick, take him away on your bike, I'll stop them."
"You..." Wu Qi did not panic and quickly got on the seat.
"Now, go!"
