Chapter 1161: Midnight at midnight, unable to sleep
Midnight at midnight is the best time of the day to sleep. The soldiers on the wall of Taizhou City were already very sleepy, and their eyes were all bloodshot from sleepiness. If it weren't for the Japanese pirates siege below, they would have been unable to hold on long ago. Of course, I can't hold on anymore.
"What, I'm really sleepy. My arms are swollen from pinching myself, but my drowsiness is getting stronger."
The soldier's eyes were red and swollen, sleepy. He said meaningfully to Shi Chang beside him, and then raised his red and swollen arm.
"Are you sleepy? Am I still sleepy?! You only pinched and swollen one arm, and both of my thighs were pinched and swollen. No one can sleep without orders from above, so give me a blow Cheer up. The Japanese pirates are down there. No one wants to have their heads cut off by Japanese pirates in their sleep!" Shi Chang scolded angrily.
"Chief, I don't think the Japanese pirates have any intention of attacking the city. How about we divide into two groups, one group sleeps and the other group is on guard duty? We rotate it every hour, so that it neither delays the alert nor delays the brothers. Recharge your batteries." Soldier A was not discouraged after being scolded and suggested again.
"In this way..." The chief began to ponder upon hearing the words.
I have to say that Soldier A’s proposal is very attractive. The Japanese pirates below the city really have no intention of attacking the city. In this case, we will be divided into two groups, one group is resting and the other is on guard. , it is indeed possible to do both without delay, but...
"This won't work! Without orders from above, no one can rest. I was really shocked. He stared carefully at the Japanese pirates below the city. These are a group of beasts that kill without blinking an eye. If someone is lax and the Japanese pirates attack the city, no one’s family will be able to escape."
Shi Chang is moved! , but he is a rigid person. He will carry out any orders given by the superiors. He will never do any orders that are not given by the superiors.
Hearing this, Soldier A sighed, rubbed his eyes resignedly, and forced himself to cheer up.
"The master of the palace has ordered that everyone should be divided into two groups in units of tens, one to rest and sleep, and the other to be on guard, rotating every hour."
At this time. , a messenger ran quickly on the city wall and shouted loudly to convey the order of the prefect Tan Lun.
After hearing the order conveyed by the messenger, Soldier A’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said to the Chief, “Chief, listen, listen, the Lord of the Palace has given an order, let us divide one tenth into two. One is on guard, the other is sleeping, and they rotate every hour.”
In fact, Soldier A didn’t need to say it, the commander also heard it.
"You're just lucky, you guessed the Lord's order." Shi Chang scolded Soldier A angrily, then looked at his subordinates with shining eyes, and said while tapping their names with his hand, " Li Laowu, Zhang Laosan, dog Baby, Tiedan..."
Speaking of this, Shi Chang paused and pointed his finger at Soldier A, "And you, the five of you go away and go to sleep. I'll be on the alert. After an hour, they'll be on the alert. "Come on, let's go to bed."
"Thank you, Shi Chang." Soldier A didn't expect that he would be asked to go to sleep. When he saw Shi Chang clicked on him, his face suddenly became happy. , However, he soon shook his head again, He said to Chief Shi, "Chief, you and Brother Lao Wu should go to bed first. I'll be on guard."
"If you are told to sleep, just sleep. What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here quickly." The commander cursed angrily and pushed Soldier A away.
"Thank you, sir." Soldier A couldn't help but say Lian Sheng as he was pushed to sleep.
"Get out! You all get out too! In an hour, I'll ask you to change shifts." The chief glared at Soldier A and others, waved his hand, and sent them to sleep.
After the messenger conveyed Tan Lun's order, soon the soldiers on the city wall were divided into two groups, taking turns to rest and be on guard.
Tan Lun also saw that the Japanese pirates had no intention of attacking the city, and because the soldiers were too sleepy, he ordered to take turns to rest, guard, and recharge their batteries.
In less than half an hour after Tan Lun's order was issued, the first few soldiers who went to sleep began to fall asleep one after another.
They were highly nervous. As soon as they fell asleep, they began to snore. The entire city wall suddenly resounded with snoring after another, like thunder.
"Kill!"
"Break Taizhou Prefecture!"
"Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong… wu wu wu…"
However, that is, At this time, I heard a shout from below the city. The sound of killing, at the same time, the rapid drums sounded, the harsh gongs shocked people, and the horns blew...
Below the city, densely packed torches suddenly appeared, and the Japanese pirates held the torches and shouted to kill. Killed towards the city gate.
Such a scene appeared in front of the four city gates at the same time.
“Japanese pirates are attacking the city?!”
“Japanese pirates are attacking the city!”
“Get up, get up quickly, Japanese pirates are attacking the city!”
When the soldiers assigned to guard duty on the city wall saw this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on their backs. They couldn't help but widen their eyes and shouted in shock.
"What?! The Japanese pirates are attacking the city?!"
"The Japanese pirates are attacking the city!"
The soldiers who had just fallen asleep in the first part were shocked when the Japanese pirates shouted to kill and their companions were shocked Amidst the shouting, they suddenly woke up from their sleep. When they heard that the Japanese pirates were attacking the city, they were still sleepy. They sat up in shock, grabbed the weapons beside them, rushed towards the battlements, and entered a defensive state.
There was chaos on the city wall, and there were constant shouts of killing below.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Five minutes passed.
The shouts of the Japanese pirates below the city are still the same, the gongs, drums and horns are still the same, but there is no Japanese pirate attacking the city.
The shouts of death and the sound of gongs, drums and horns lasted for about ten minutes, and then calmed down. The Japanese pirates who were attacking the city also stopped and retreated.
“Cao, these damn Japanese pirates barked for a while and then retreated??!”
"What, you actually retreated?!"
It took a while for the shocked soldiers on the city wall to realize that the Japanese pirates who were clamoring to kill them retreated without attacking the city.
"Cao, disturb grandpa's sleep!"
After being convinced that the Japanese pirates retreated with a false shot, the soldiers began to curse, especially the first group of soldiers who had just taken a turn to rest. Next, I was awakened by the Japanese pirates. It would be strange not to scold the Japanese pirates.
“It’s only been less than two minutes, let’s go get some sleep.”
The soldiers who took their first turn to rest cursed and went to rest again.
After a day of high tension and exhaustion, they sat on the ground of the city wall, grilled the city wall, covered themselves with clothes, closed their eyes, and soon fell asleep again.
About half an hour later, there was another wave of Japanese pirates' killing cries from the city, and the gongs, drums and horns shook the earth and the earth.
The soldier who had just fallen asleep was awakened again.
Like last time, the Japanese pirates made another false shot and did not attack the city. They just shouted to kill for a few minutes and then died down.
After confirming that the Japanese pirates had not attacked the city, the soldiers went to sleep again.
More than half an hour later, the Japanese pirates' shouts of killing and the sound of gongs, drums and horns sounded again under the city... The soldiers were awakened again... The Japanese pirates did not attack the city again, as if the Japanese pirates just wanted to wake up the soldiers. (End of this chapter)
