Chapter 53: Appeasement
The soldiers of Hirohito Pass also put out the drums and collected the troops, and the soldiers methodically cleaned up the battlefield at the head of the city, and the corpses of the dead were carried down one by one, and the broken weapons were also picked up and returned to the warehouse.

Counting the number of casualties of the northwest army defending the city in one day is not very much, during the period the Wara people only attacked twice, and they were repulsed, but the weapons were consumed too much, looking at Deng Jiucheng in the city tower angrily jumping to his feet and scolding, you know how large the number of weapons to fight out.
Guo Wenying would rather lose some weapons than kill more people, in her heart, weapons are dead, people are alive, weapons can be rebuilt if they are lost, and people will never come back when they die.
At the end of the battle, the sorrow and fear of the war accumulated throughout the day were all pressed on her heart, and she couldn't get rid of it, especially looking at the corpses that had been removed, as if she had been cut by a knife. The little soldier who was still looking out with his neck stretched out in the morning, the veteran who had stolen two steamed buns, was still alive two hours ago, and now he was already blue and black and fell in a pool of blood.
She didn't dare to look at how hideous and horrific the corpse's death was, let alone think back to the tragic situation of the soldiers on the battlefield today.
At some point, it rained in the sky, and a drop of water fell on her eyelids in the wind, and the corners of her eyes were cold. She stopped and looked up at the sky, where the dark clouds covered the entire sky and the castle towers of Hirohito Pass.
Suddenly, someone patted her on the back, and when she turned around, it was Feng Jingting who came up at some point.
He stood beside her, his expression indifferent and quiet, and his voice was a little hoarse: "What's the matter?
Guo Wenying shook her head, she was not afraid, but no matter how many times she went through, she couldn't adapt to the tragedy of the war.
She muttered, "If only there would never be a war." ”
"Stupid words. Feng Jingting scolded lightly and gently hugged her from behind, his back was very warm, and his arms were hard as if they had infinite strength, which calmed people's hearts.
His low voice sounded in her ears, "Where there are people in the world, there will be war, even if there is peace, it will not last for many years, it is your misfortune to be born in such a troubled world, and it is also your luck, it won't be long before the entire Southern Qi and Wara will remember your Guo Wenying's name." ”
Guo Wenying sighed, she is not uncommon at all with a reputation, being a soldier is not what she wants, going to the battlefield is not what she wants, or she is not suitable to be a soldier in her bones.
It was really unsightly for the two of them to hug and hug together, and there were many soldiers on the city tower, all of whom were sneaking to this side to look, and they didn't dare to approach, they all shrank in a corner, and the eyes with a little confusion made people feel very uncomfortable. I'm afraid that I don't need others to remember her name, and if I can't pass tonight, the entire military camp will rumor that she and the prince of the county have really broken their sleeves.
shook off his arm fiercely, and said coldly: "Lord Wang, don't you remember when you became so familiar with Lord Wang?"
Feng Jingting smiled ruffianly, which was very different from his usual dignified appearance, "If you are not familiar with it, you can cultivate it slowly, this king is also worried about you, so he will come to take a look, but look at you are in good spirits at this time, and you are also relieved." ”
Guo Wenying glanced at him and said coldly: "The prince walks slowly, the lower officials still have work to do, so they won't accompany him." ”
Feng Jingting smiled at her good-naturedly, told her to eat something first, and went downstairs with elegant steps.
Guo Wenying didn't care about him, after a day of fighting, an artillery was dumb, she called two craftsmen to come up and repair it with her, and after looking at it for a long time, she didn't find any problems, the barrel had no traces of breakage, and the pull ring connecting the ammunition was also very strong.
After all, it is something that has been used for the first time, and it is still too urgent to use it in the war so soon, and it seems that there are still many flaws that need to be improved, and we can only think of a way after the war is over.
The rain in autumn was not lingering, and it did not rain much, but a few drops of rain were sparsely ticked, and it stopped falling for a while.
When he went down to the castle tower and ate something in the dining hall, he gathered the craftsmen of the camp to repair the bows and crossbows and firearms, and patched up the broken strings, and strengthened those that were damaged by bumps, and picked out those that could not be used and threw them out, and put all the rest into the warehouse, waiting for the battlefield to be used again tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the soldiers who had eaten breakfast poured into the city wall to prepare for battle.
Guo Wenying came up to the city tower very early today, and she only slept for an hour yesterday, supervising the craftsmen to repair the weapons, and also asked people to divide the large bags of gunpowder into small portions. Yesterday's big bag of gunpowder was consumed too much, and there was not much left, so we could no longer squander it recklessly.
The Warat people were also making preparations, and in the distance at the pass, the black pressure was like a surging tide, black armor, tall alien horses, and uniform horse steps, marching to the pass, scattering in all directions.
It was the Black Armor Army, the main force of the main forces of the Warats, the truly most elite cavalry. This time, Varat even beckoned out the housekeeper's things, but it was really going to be a fight to the death.
War is just a concept for many people who have not experienced it, but it is a kind of life for those of them who guard the northwest. From Feng Jingting took her to the battlefield, a Varat man shot out of the neck with a warm blood drenched on her head and face, and the warm blood at that moment was her different baptism of life, which was also a gift from Feng Jingting to her, on her fifteenth birthday.
Her hatred for him, I'm afraid it also started from that moment, and all the cruelty and tragedy she experienced also started from that moment.
She was forcibly pulled to the battlefield by him, even if she was unwilling in her heart, she still had to face it, he said that he wanted to cultivate her into a person who was "strong" in mind and body, thanks to his efforts, her mind was really strong, at least at this moment, in the face of the real main force of Warat, she did not have a trace of cowardice in her heart.
Maybe if it weren't for the existence of those Warat people, there might not be so much abandonment, tragedy and sadness in their lives.
Xu Hai looked at the black armor army and smacked his mouth, and his intuition was that he was going to be bad today, so he poked Guo Wenying's arm, "It seems that today can't maintain the same style of play as yesterday." ”
Guo Wenying asked him, "Then how did the adult say to fight?"
Xu Hai touched his chin and looked embarrassed, "I don't know either." ”
The most elite troops and the most powerful generals have all been sent out, and those who remain seem to have a bit of a two-knife trend, Guo Wenying asked him with a little regret.
Xu Hai was also a little embarrassed, he was an honest man, he didn't have many twists and turns in his stomach, and he didn't shake his wit with her, he just said: "To be honest, I have been defending the city for the past two years, and I really haven't encountered such a hard stubble, and if I can't hold it, I can't blame me for being incompetent, right?"
Guo Wenying's face darkened, and she hurriedly asked Chen Qi to go to the Zhongjun tent to deliver the letter, there were two big Buddhas in the tent, so they didn't have to worry about it.
After a while, Chen Qi came back, only saying that the prince had confessed and let them watch it, and said that they couldn't even hold the pass, so they simply didn't come down alive.
Guo Wenying was angry when she heard this, she was a quartermaster, she was just here to help, why did she get in too?
But the family is the prince, and they have to do whatever they want, Guo Wenying sighed, and could only order to prepare for war as hard as he could.
