Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 39 Fight with Me
Gao Feng suddenly woke up from his sleep, only to realize that it was getting dark again. This was the second evening after the Yellow Turbans launched their night attack, and after a night of fierce fighting yesterday, both sides were suffering heavy casualties and exhausted.
In the offensive and defensive battle the night before, although the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was exhausted, but because there was no powerful siege equipment, it not only failed to overcome the resolute counterattack of the Han Army in Inner Huangcheng, but also paid a huge casualty of seven or eight thousand people, coupled with the terrifying flying stone attack received during the day, the 35,000 Yellow Turban Army had lost at least 15,000 combat strength, and there were only 20,000 people who continued to fight, which can be said to be a great injury to their vitality. Therefore, Yan Li had to end the large-scale offensive and carry out the attack in small groups during the day, so that his subordinates could seize the time to rest and recover. At the same time, they also sent more men to cut down trees everywhere to replenish as much as possible the siege ladders that had been lost before.
Compared with the Yellow Turban Army, the situation in Neihuang County is even more precarious. Of the 3,500 Han troops, less than 2,000 remained, and many of them were seriously wounded, and even the 3,000 people who were urgently requisitioned to the city in the middle of the night also died seven or eight hundred. The most desperate thing is that there are not many arrows left in the city, which will make the archers of the Captain Voice, who shine most brightly in the defensive battle, completely become tigers with their claws cut off.
Gao Feng barely stood up, all three wounds on his body were painful, and the muscles in his body were also very sore. He struggled to stand up straight, pretending to be full, and walked along the ramparts.
Several city medics were busy rescuing the wounded, and a large group of city residents were distributing food and water to the soldiers.
The soldiers still seemed to be in high spirits, except for some who were reclining on the battlements and taking a nap with their eyes closed, while others were still holding their weapons tightly and watching the Yellow Turbans in the distance vigilantly.
Seeing Gao Feng coming, the soldiers saluted, their eyes flashed with admiration, in last night's bloody battle, this young marquis with a sven appearance really impressed the soldiers, he not only killed and wounded at least dozens of enemy soldiers, but also saved the lives of many subordinates.
Gao Feng nodded to them with a smile, although the combat skills of these Han officers and soldiers were not as good as those of the Eagle's Nest, they were all good men when they started fighting, and almost none of them took half a step back.
When Gao Feng's gaze swept over an Eagle's Nest subordinate, his heart ached, although the two hundred Eagle's Nest subordinates were all skilled, and they had their own Eagle's Nest standard cowhide armor, but yesterday's battle was too tragic, they inevitably suffered casualties, at least thirty people died heroically, several of them were old brothers who followed Gao Shun and him into the Black Tiger Mountain.
Gao Feng twitched the corners of his mouth, he could almost imagine the gloomy expressions of Nanying and Gao Shun, such a loss was too great! Except for the more than 100 casualties in the first battle of Nanzheng, the Eagle's Nest subordinates suffered the greatest losses this time. He smiled bitterly, besides, this battle is not over yet, maybe the two hundred brothers will be defeated in this battle.
"Ahh There was a sudden cry of pain in front of him, Gao Feng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran over.
Nan Ying easily let go of his hands from the soldier's feet, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay! It's already connected! After raising it, he will be a good man again! ”
The soldier stopped screaming, touched the dislocation on his foot in disbelief, and then said in surprise: "It's really better!" Thank you, sir! ”
Nan Ying laughed and said: "Of course, Lord Ben is not only a god in his army, but also a famous doctor in the world, especially good at treating injuries, which kid has not been treated, hurry up and roll over to Lao Tzu!" ”
Dozens of lightly injured soldiers nearby rushed over with cheers and said, "My lord, can you help me take a look?" ”
"Be careful, you stepped on the adult's foot, the adult beat him up!"
"Alas! Don't squeeze, my wound is still bleeding! ”
"What are you doing in a daze? Bring the most injured brother here! ”
Gao Feng watched blankly, Nanying was sweating profusely to help the soldiers stop bleeding, wrap their wounds, and connect their bones, always with a kind smile on their faces, and there was no trace of tiredness and impatience in their blazing eyes. Every time he bandaged a soldier's wound, he patted him on the head or blew out a few foul words.
And the soldiers burst into laughter from time to time, as if they were not facing a merciless battlefield of swords and swords. Everyone looked at Nanying with trust and respect in their eyes.
"What a rare good general!" A voice came.
Gao Feng turned his head and saw Cao Xing and Hou Tong walking side by side, Hou Tong's face had a little painful expression, in last night's battle, he was also stabbed by an enemy soldier.
"It's an honor for me to be able to fight with such an adult!" Cao Xuan said calmly, "However, Ben will think that it is time to explain the situation to adults!" ”
"You're right!" Ma Jun and Dian Wei also came over with a black face. His face was very unsightly, and several of the fallen Eagle's Nest brothers were his right-hand men, and his heart was almost dripping blood. "Wait for the adults to appease these soldiers, and I will talk to the adults together, what is going on in this battle?"
"What the hell is going on in this battle?" Ma Jun clenched his fists, "My lord! According to the original plan, General Lu's army should have completed the encirclement by noon today! But now? Half a day has passed, more than half of our army has been killed and wounded in the isolated city, but the main force is nowhere to be found, where should we go? ”
"Exactly!" Gao Feng nodded and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the Lord had successfully established a high prestige in the army, I am afraid that the soldiers would have been discouraged by this time!" ”
Cao Xing also said: "There is one more thing, there are not many arrows in our army, even if the craftsmen in the city rush to make them overnight, but the quality is very poor, the quantity is also a drop in the bucket, and it will be difficult for the archers of the last general to cope with the next round of offensive!" ”
Hou Tong also muttered: "You won't treat us as outcasts, right?" ”
Nan Ying watched them speak one by one, and smiled: "Are you all finished?" ”
Several people nodded in unison, and Ma Jun said: "So the last general thinks that the adults should make a decision immediately, whether our army should continue to .........?"
"Shut up!" Nanying suddenly whispered, "Tens of thousands of troops outflanked in a roundabout way, isn't it easy?" What's more, we have already paid so many lives, and it is not easy to complete the task, how can we ignore the overall situation! Confused! ”
Ma Jun hurriedly said: "But! General Lu's army has been delayed, and the last general is worried that things will change! ”
"Has there been a change?" Nanying glared at him fiercely and said, "Don't forget! Who else is in the army? That's the person we can rely on the most! Will they leave us alone? ”
The faces of Gao Shun and Jia Xu flashed in his mind, and his heart felt relieved.
"So! Ben will be convinced! Nanying let out a long breath, "The main force will definitely come, what our army needs to do now is to continue to hold on!" ”
"Hold on? The last general understands! Ma Jun nodded, "Then the last general will request!" ”
He suddenly knelt down: "Please quickly lead a few people to withdraw from the south gate!" Yumo will continue to complete the task of defending the city! ”
Gao Feng and Dian Wei also knelt down together.
Hou Tong and Cao Xing glanced at each other, with a complicated look in their eyes, and finally did not say anything.
Nan Ying stared at Ma Jun tightly, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Why? Is it because Ben is afraid of death, or is he not able to lead his troops? ”
Ma Jun was shocked and said: "The last general will not dare!" ”
He gritted his teeth and said: "There can be no self in the world, but there must be no adults!" for thou art our Lord ......"
"I'm the main general!" Nanying said lightly, "Moreover, I'm still a warrior!" ”
"Do you know what a warrior is?" He stretched out his hand to help a few people, "Regardless of life and death, not afraid of difficulties, never change faith, never give up, live up to the robe, and never forget the family and country!" And the most important one! ”
He saw that everyone opened their mouths together, listened attentively, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "This one is!" Fulfill the mission! Be sure to complete the mission! This is a warrior! ”
"So!" Nan Ying smiled lightly, "Ben will always be conceited, don't want Ben to discard the name of a warrior!" ”
Ma Jun's eyes gradually filled with tears: "No! How can you be like this, my lord! ”
Gao Feng stretched out his hand to wrap his shoulders and said in a deep voice, "Don't say it again!" Brother, you know that the lord will never leave us! Just as we will never leave him! ”
"My lord?" Cao Xuan said thoughtfully, "It seems that the last general understands something!" ”
He let out a long sigh: "If you say that, the last general will die the most unjustly, with neither the appreciation of the Lord nor a brother to rely on!" ”
He bowed deeply: "My lord! The last general will be lucky enough to fight with you! If you will not die at the end of this battle, can you also change the title? ”
Hou Tong looked up to the sky and laughed: "Lao Cao, Lao Cao, on weekdays, you kid is smarter than me, but today you are finally one step slower than my old Hou!" ”
In Cao Xing's stunned gaze, he knelt down on one knee and slowly raised his head, his eyes full of sincerity: "My lord! The last general asks your lord to fulfill his promise to the last general ahead of schedule! ”
"Good!" Nanying's heart was full of blood, he pulled Hou Tong up, and said to Cao Xing: "Although we have been getting along for a short time, the blood of the men in the army can ignite the pride in my heart the most!" If the two brothers don't give up, we will live and die with each other from now on! ”
"Now! I command! Nan Ying looked at the Yellow Turban military formation that was slowly gathering in the distance, "Brothers! Fight with me! ”
