In view of the fact that the south gate had been blocked, the members of the Brotherhood simply set up long tables and low stools in the open space near the city gate, and turned it into an open space for the city guards to eat.

A Nanyang sergeant ran out of food here, and then, under the order of the partial general Sun Xiu, he immediately climbed the city wall and rotated with the robe above, replacing them in charge of the night's duty.

During this period, Zhao Yu took Jingnu, Niu Heng, and Sun Xiu to inspect the food of the soldiers.

The food of the guards in the city was the responsibility of the brotherhood, and compared with the salt rice balls at noon, the food at night was improved, and I saw a Nanyang sergeant lined up at the long table where the food was distributed, and received a large bowl of rice mixed with cured meat and unknown vegetables, and a small bowl of broth.

By the way, some of these bowls for rice and soup were aided by the people in the city, and the other part was wooden bowls dug out of the Brotherhood's workshop.

Zhao Yu took Jingnu and Sun Xiu around this 'open-air canteen', and when they saw that there was no problem, they went towards the place where the wounded were placed.

There is a place in the army to place and take care of the wounded, called the wounded soldiers' tent, and Kunyang County, in advance in the south of the city, west of the city, near the east of the city, planning an area as a place to place the wounded, the south of the city is to requisition a warehouse under the name of the brotherhood, and the west and east of the city are temporarily demolished and some of the people's houses in the city, hastily built a shed that can shelter from the wind and rain.

At this time, Zhao Yu, Sun Xiu and others were the first to come to the old warehouse in the south of the city, which had been converted into a wounded soldier's department.

This old warehouse, located next door to the Brotherhood's workshop, was filled with sheets used to make wooden shields a while ago, but now the sundries in the warehouse have been emptied, and a straw shop has been built, and the Nanyang soldier who was seriously wounded on the city wall today is lying on these straw bunks to recuperate.

According to Sun Xiu's statistics of casualties after the war, a total of 331 Nanyang soldiers under his command were killed today, nearly 1,000 were wounded, and nearly half of the casualties were killed.

Those who were really seriously injured accounted for only 20 percent of the nearly 1,000 wounded, about 200.

Sun Xiu was barely acceptable to this casualty, after all, they had inflicted at least 5,000 casualties on the rebels today—although casualties did not equal casualties.

"Partial general."

Outside this old warehouse, there was a team of Nanyang soldiers guarding, the first uncle was wrapped in bandages around his shoulder and left arm, and there was faint blood oozing out.

"Hmm."

Sun Xiu nodded in return, and immediately asked the uncle, "How is the injury?" ”

The uncle touched the wounded position of his left hand with his uninjured right hand, and replied with a little flattery: "It's just a skin injury, thank you for your concern." ”

Sun Xiu nodded slightly, and after gently patting the uncle's right arm as an encouragement, he said softly, "Chief Zhou and I have come to visit the injured brothers...... Are you okay brothers? ”

The uncle glanced at Zhao Yu, who was standing beside Sun Xiu, and for some reason hugged his fist towards the latter, and then said to Sun Xiu: "The injured brothers have been bandaged by the doctors in the city, and they are eating now, and their morale is ......" He paused, seemed to ponder, and finally said a word: "It's not bad." ”

"Isn't the morale bad?"

A little suspicion flashed in Sun Xiu's eyes, and he didn't know why.

In his opinion, how can there be a reason why the morale of the wounded is not bad? In most cases, as long as a person is injured, his will will be depressed, and Sun Xiu is in the army and sees too much in this regard.

Glancing at Zhao Yu, Sun Xiu walked into the wounded soldier's tent for no apparent reason.

In his impression, the wounded soldier's tent can be called the most demographic place in the army, thinking that when his Nanyang army attacked the rebels in Jingchu, he also led people to inspect the wounded soldiers' tent, at that time, the wounded soldiers' tent, a wail, those wounded and tortured soldiers, lying on the grass and moaning helplessly, and even crying bitterly, when these people can't survive and swallow their breath, those who have long been numb to this, responsible for taking care of the wounded, will carry the corpse out and find a place to bury it.

The death of a soldier affects those who are still alive, and the decadent and low morale of the wounded will seriously affect the soldiers who see their painful and helpless appearance, and this vicious circle will directly destroy the morale of an army.

Therefore, the army has always had to adopt the method of 'isolation', prohibiting ordinary unwounded soldiers from approaching the wounded soldiers' tents.

However, at this moment, Sun Xiu did not feel the "unique" decadence and low morale of the wounded soldiers, he was surprised to find that the atmosphere in the warehouse was not only not bad, but also seemed to be a little happy, some of the soldiers who were lying on the couch with limited mobility were eating with the help of a few young girls, even if they were far away, Sun Xiu could see that the thoughts of those soldiers were not on those meals, but on the young girls who fed them.

However, the big problem is because of the lack of manpower, and these girls who were assigned to take care of the wounded soldiers could not help every wounded soldier present to eat at the same time, and there would inevitably be a front and back.

As a result, the wounded soldiers who enjoyed the treatment of being fed deliberately extended the time, and even talked to those girls halfway, and those wounded soldiers who did not have their turn began to scold their mothers - not scolding the dozen or so girls, but scolding the group of Tongze who were not thinking about eating at all.

"Hey, Yuyang cub, just a few mouthfuls of food, won't it be over if you swallow it? Grinding, Lao Tzu is still hungry! ”

"It's just ......"

"You scold again? …… If I hadn't hurt my leg, I'd have gotten up and whipped you......"

"You have the ability to ......"

"Afraid of you? When I'm healed, I'll see how I clean you up. ”

Seeing the Nanyang troops on both sides scolding each other, the dozen or so girls who were sent to take care of the wounded soldiers panicked, and even persuaded the soldiers on both sides: "Soldiers, brothers, don't quarrel, take a good rest......

How could they know that this kind of bickering was commonplace in the army, and they were so anxious that they were sweating.

Until the soldier near the door saw Sun Xiu standing at the door, he lowered his voice and shouted: "It's coming!" ”

For a while, the entire warehouse was silent, and all the soldiers were honest, and a few of them drooped their heads, perhaps worried that Fang Cai's scene would be seen by the general.

"These guys......

Sun Xiu shook his head with a smile, coughed, and said solemnly: "That...... Leader Zhou and I have come to visit you. ”

As he spoke, he saw a soldier lying on the grass struggling to get up, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lie down, you don't have to salute." ”

As he spoke, he took Zhao Yu to take the lead and walked to a seriously injured soldier who was being fed by a young girl, and whispered to the girl who was helpless with a wooden bowl: "Thank you for taking care of my subordinates." …… It's all a bunch of rude guys, please forgive me for the offense. ”

One thing to say, as Sun Xiu, naturally there is no need to thank the girl like this, but he knows that these girls are the family members of the brotherhood in the city, and behind the brotherhood is Zhou Hu, the leader of the black tiger thieves beside him.

Therefore, even for Zhou Hu's sake, Sun Xiu has to respect these girls, not to mention that he is really grateful to these girls.

Noticing that the girl was at a loss, the quiet girl beside Zhao Yu reminded gently: "This is General Sun of the Nanyang Army, if you don't know how to answer, nod your head, he won't care." ”

Under Zhao Yu's reminder, the girl glanced at the masked quiet girl in surprise, and then nodded flatteredly.

At this time, Sun Xiu was looking at the wooden bowl in the girl's hand, and saw that the food in the bowl was the same as the food of the soldiers outside, he nodded slightly, and then looked at the wounded soldier with a smile, and asked, "Do you have a mouth?" ”

In view of the fact that in front of the partial general, the soldier completely lost the momentum of scolding and bickering with Tong Ze, and said honestly: "The words of the partial general are very appropriate. ”

"I'm asking about food." Sun Xiu asked expressionlessly.

The soldier was stunned, puzzled and said, "The small one refers to the food......

Hearing this, not only Zhao Yu and Jing Nu Wan'er laughed, but even the wounded soldiers in the warehouse who were active in the warehouse also burst into laughter.

Looking at the blank look of the soldier in front of him, Sun Xiu said with a smile: "That's good, take care of your injuries." …… In addition, it's okay to see, don't do anything to others, otherwise it will be dealt with by military regulations. ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and smiled wryly.

And the girl beside him also blushed at this time.

Subsequently, Zhao Yu and Sun Xiu expressed their condolences to the wounded soldiers present, and also thanked the girls who were appointed by the Brotherhood to take care of the wounded.

Thanks to the blessings of these dozen girls, even the seriously injured Nanyang sergeants have not been depressed, at least they still have the heart to tease those girls.

Although according to Sun Xiu's investigation, there are still wounded soldiers who can't survive and die of breath, but in general, the mood of most of the wounded soldiers is much better than when he once inspected the wounded barracks in the army.

An hour later, when he walked out of this warehouse, Sun Xiu solemnly thanked Zhao Yu and said, "Thank you Leader Zhou for taking care of my subordinates. ”

Zhao Yu didn't fight for merit, smiled and waved his hand and said: "General Sun has to thank Li Xiancheng and the Brotherhood, Zhou didn't actually do anything...... What's more, your sergeants and soldiers have made sacrifices for my Kunyang, and my Kunyang should take good care of the wounded. ”

His words were not polite, after all, today's southern city wall was all defended by the Nanyang army under Sun Xiu's command, and because of this, Zhao Yu was able to transfer the county army and the black tiger thieves to the east and west city walls, which greatly alleviated the embarrassment of insufficient guards.

“……”

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Sun Xiu looked at the former deeply and nodded slightly.

If he had a bad impression of the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves at the beginning, now his opinion of the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves in front of him has changed greatly.

"Although I have the acquiescence of General Wang Yan, I still don't want to get involved in this person's affairs with Yang Ding...... Don't put General Wang Shangde in danger for the sake of Yang Ding's personal grudge with this person......

Sun Xiu thought secretly.
