"Your Highness, something is wrong!" At this moment, a personal guard general beside Sun Sheng reminded in a low voice: "According to our intelligence, Ding Feng's troops should be the fourth division, but the banner of soldiers and horses rushing towards us is the first division. Is there something wrong with this? ”

"What?" When Sun Sheng heard this, he was violently excited. Looking up and looking closely, he found that this was indeed the case, and the flag of the unit attacking him was indeed the First Division.

"How is this possible, isn't the First Division Xu Huaizhi's team, and it has always been stationed in Jiazhou Mansion, when did it get here?" Sun Sheng was shocked. Although there was already a battle ahead, and there was no danger on his side for the time being, his mind was constantly thinking. Could it be that Gongsun Jian has other conspiracies? It stands to reason that even if there are extra troops here, it should be Ding Feng's fourth division, but what happened was the first division of Xu Huaizhi, who was far away in Jiazhou Prefecture. So where did Ding Feng's Fourth Division go?

Could it be that they are still preparing to attack their own battalion? It can't be, even if it is, the other party has no chance of winning. There are still 20,000 people stationed in his own camp, and besides, they are all well prepared, and it is impossible to give the opponent a chance. But where are Ding Feng's men and horses in ambush? If he didn't figure out this problem, Sun Sheng's heart was always unsteady.

Sun Sheng was worried here, but the head of the city in Dingxi County had already begun a bloody battle, and the casualties at the beginning were basically the soldiers of the Wu State, but with the throwing of the archers of the Wu army under the city, the soldiers on the side of Gongsun Jian also began to suffer casualties. By now, some of the Wu army had already attacked the low head of Dingxi County, and fought with Gongsun Jian's men in the city.

"Resist, brothers, beat all those dog thieves in Wu to me." Tian Kuan shouted loudly and commanded, running back and forth with dozens of his own personal soldiers, rushing wherever there was a loophole. At this moment, there is already a river of blood flowing on the head of the city, and if you are not careful, you will be slid by the blood under your feet.

And Gongsun Jian had already ripped off his coquettish shawl and went to the battlefield with the horizontal knife in his hand. Followed by Zhao Sihai and Wei Meng, the two fierce generals, almost everywhere they went, those Wu troops who had finally attacked were immediately slaughtered.

But gradually, the casualties of the defenders on Gongsun Jian's side are also rising. Blocked here and there, and broke through. At this moment, Gongsun Jian at the head of the city began to feel a little anxious, and he no longer had the calmness he had at the beginning.

"Nai's is still a great person. I killed more than 10,000 people in the front, and now there are tens of thousands. Gongsun Jian slashed down a Wu soldier and scolded fiercely. Wei Meng, who was on the side, smirked and said: "My lord, it's not a big deal, we can still control the city now, but it's a big deal to abandon the city head and fight with the other party one by one." Aren't we prepared? ”

"Maba, that's a last resort. Besides, our sacrifice will be great. There is not much point in holding Dingxi County, our goal is not to simply defeat the other party, but to effectively kill and injure the enemy. ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Jian turned his head and shouted to Zhao Sihai: "Sihai, go and bring someone to inform Ma Teng, don't save explosives, all the explosives bags that the trebuchet couldn't throw out were lit for me and thrown down to the city." Find a crowded place to bomb. ”

After giving the order, Gongsun Jian looked at the battle situation around him, and more than a dozen Wu troops climbed up to the top of the city not far away, and that side was obviously a weak point.

"Follow me." Gongsun Jian roared and rushed forward.

"Okay! Kill! ”

The bloody battle lasted from the morning until the sun went down, and the entire Dingxi County had become a mess. But even so, the Wu army was not able to take advantage, and the city still exchanged offense and defense back and forth.

The sunset on the horizon was as red as if it had been burned, but at this time, the blood in the upper city of Dingxi County was more bright red than the sunset.

The bloody battle continued until it was almost dark, and both sides were exhausted. Especially Gongsun Jian's side paid a heavy price to be able to hold on to it from the daytime. Even Xu Huaizhi's first division, which was arranged to raid Sun Shengzhong's army outside the city, suffered heavy losses and withdrew from the battle early.

Looking at the severed limbs and wreckage all over the place, Gongsun Jian's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand. As a soldier, he understood that as long as there is war, there will be death. But what he saw in front of him still made him a little unbearable.

After getting out of the city and finding a place that was relatively clean and did not interfere with others, Gongsun Jian sat down slowly with the bloodstained horizontal knife in his hand. Wei Meng and Zhao Sihai followed on the side, but no one spoke.

"Are there any injuries on your body?" Gongsun Jian asked the two in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's all skin trauma." Wei Meng replied in his usual honest voice. And Zhao Sihai only shook his head slightly.

", hurry up and deal with the bandage, otherwise it's going to be troublesome to get back to hair inflammation." Gongsun Jian scolded unhappily: "After dealing with it, let Lao Tian report today's battle damage, and talk to Ma Zhi County, and quickly organize people to treat the wounded and send food to the soldiers." ”

"Yes, got it." Wei Meng said yes and turned away. But Zhao Sihai was still by Gongsun Jian's side.

"Why don't you go?" Gongsun Jian glared at Zhao Sihai.

"My lord, my subordinates are not injured. Besides, if I'm gone, who will protect you? ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Jian stood up and looked at Zhao Sihai with an incredible look.

"Then all the blood on your body is someone else's?"

"Hmm." Zhao Sihai nodded and replied, "The subordinates and Brother Wei have discussed before, he is responsible for killing the enemy, and I am responsible for taking care of the safety of the adults. Therefore, don't look at me, I've been following you to fight, but those who can really get close to us are basically killed and injured by Brother Wei, and all that's left for me is to go up and mend the knife. ”

Gongsun Jian shook his head a little helplessly, and said in a low voice as if talking to himself: "A fierce son of a dog's day, I said how to fight in one day, I will kill a few fucking enemies." It turned out that it was all this kid who did the trick. After scolding, Gongsun Jian looked at Zhao Sihai and continued to ask, "Then what about the loss of our brothers?" ”

"Lord Hui, the brothers of the more than 500 independent garrison regiments who participated in the war today suffered a lot of losses, mainly because they were lost in various places and lacked people later, and our brothers made up for the losses after they were lost. The exact number has not yet been told, but I estimate that at least half of the brothers will never come back. Zhao Sihai answered Gongsun Jian's question, but his tone was a little sad.

With a bang, Gongsun Jian angrily threw the horizontal knife in his hand to the ground, and scolded a little helplessly and unwillingly: "Nai Nai, we have lost so much in just one day." That's almost a year's worth of savings! Sun Sheng of the dog * day. If the labor and management don't beat him up this time, I'll take his surname. ”

Gongsun Jian scolded here, and not far away, Tian Kuo and Ma Teng, as well as Ma Yuan, the current county lieutenant of Dingxi County, hurriedly ran over. Before a few people could speak, Gongsun Jian hurriedly asked, "Lao Tian and Lao Ma, how is our battle damage?" ”

"My lord, more than half of my third division was killed in battle, and there are more than 1,000 wounded brothers, and now there are less than 700 brothers who are intact or slightly injured and can continue fighting." Tian Kuo was the first to answer, and then Ma Teng also followed.

"My lord, my second division is no better. More than 1,800 brothers were killed in the battle, nearly 2,000 were wounded, and more than half were seriously wounded. There are only about 800 people who can still move. ”

"Nima, there are more than 10,000 people in the two divisions of labor and management, and now there are 1,500 left?" Gongsun Jian asked angrily, and Tian Kuo and Ma Teng didn't know how to answer. Ma Yuan, the magistrate on the side, glanced at Gongsun Jian and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, I just asked about the humble position, but fortunately, we were well prepared before, and there was no shortage of medicines and doctors, according to the current situation, it is conservatively estimated that most of the injured sergeants will survive." In particular, minor injuries are basically fine, and serious injuries should be able to survive a large part according to the suture and bandaging treatment method you promoted in Linshui County before. ”

Gongsun Jian breathed a sigh of relief slightly, looked at the new Dingxi County magistrate in front of him who was admitted after passing the registration assessment, and asked in a much slower tone: "Ma Zhixian, are the sergeants having food now?" Are there any other questions about healing? ”

"Back to the prince's words, the meal has already been prepared, and now basically all the sergeants have eaten. The wounded soldiers are still being treated due to the large number of personnel, and the seriously injured are also actively being rescued. Rest assured, according to your orders, we will never abandon or abandon any soldier who may be able to be saved. ”

"Well, that's good." Gongsun Jian nodded, waved his hand and motioned for Ma Yuan to go and go about his business. After Ma Yuan left, Gongsun Jiancai looked at the few people in front of him and whispered: "Lao Ma sent someone to contact Jiang Guanghua, the leading general of the First Division, and ask them about their losses today, and then let him stand by as planned." ”

"Yes, sir." Although Gongsun Jian is now named the king of Zhou, the old people around him are still willing to call him an adult.

"Lao Tian, you go and gather all the brothers of the second and third divisions who can continue to fight, and let them hurry up their time to eat and rest. There's still action tonight. ”

"Got it, I'll arrange it."

"Sihai, in a while, you go and gather all the brothers of the Independent Garrison Regiment who did not go to the battlefield today to join Lao Tian's men. Nai's is raised, Sun Sheng is a dog * mother, and labor and management must give him a good look tonight. ”

Gongsun Jian's side is counting the battle damage, treating the wounded, and arranging the follow-up action for tonight. And the Wu army camp is also busy.

Sun Sheng sat in the tent with a sinking face, looking at the generals under his command who were stained with blood, although he was very unhappy, but his tone was quite peaceful.

"In today's battle, although our army suffered heavy losses, the losses of Gongsun Jian'er's army were also not small, and they were not as many as us. If there is another battle tomorrow, according to the king's estimate, Dingxi County will definitely be lost tomorrow. Therefore, Gongsun Jianxiao will definitely come to attack the camp tonight. After a pause, he suddenly said in a solemn tone: "The generals listen to the order." ”

"Yes."

"Tonight, all the sergeants are not allowed to remove their armor, and all of them are resting in their tents and waiting for the battle order. Everyone must not slack off. The guards on the periphery can appropriately reduce some manpower, and we have to make a look of being unprepared. In addition, the tent of the king is vacant, and the traps are being dug around it, and heavy troops are secretly arranged around it. Once the other party robs the camp, he will definitely go straight to the king's tent, and tonight the king will let him come and go. ”

"Yes, follow the orders of the prince."

Sure enough, as Sun Sheng expected, just after midnight, gongs and drums sounded around the Wu army camp, and then thousands of rockets were fired at the Wu army camp. Immediately, all the Wu troops were alert and ready to fight at any time. But after a cup of tea, the shouts of killing, the sound of gongs and drums, and the rockets fired suddenly disappeared. The Wu army, which was on guard on the perimeter, did not see a single enemy attacking them.

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid that Gongsun Jian Xiao'er is playing tricks again. That's how his subordinates were defeated by him in the first place. Next to Sun Sheng, Han Dewei reminded in a serious whisper. At this moment, Sun Sheng's brows had already turned into a pimple.
