Chapter 22: Inspecting Donglai City after the war
Chapter 22 After the war, he inspected the city of Donglai
With Wang Bo's order to withdraw his troops, a burst of trembling gongs rang out from the camp of the bandit army, resounding throughout the sky outside the city!
The bandit soldiers attacked their opponents one after another, hammering spears and stabbing with knives and shields, and the Allied soldiers were attacked in a hurry for a while, and retreated again and again! At this moment, the bandit soldiers suddenly retreated, widened the distance between themselves and the Allied soldiers, and then quickly turned away!
The bandit soldiers retreated quickly, surging like a tidal wave, but receding like a flood! The Allied soldiers hadn't even decided whether to catch up and continue to attack their opponents, and the bandit soldiers had already retreated dozens of paces away!
The bandit soldiers quickly withdrew from the battlefield and evacuated with the camp of the bandit army outside the city! In less than an hour, the bandit army evacuated ten miles away!
At the south gate of Donglai City, about fifteen miles away, the Chinese army camp of the bandit army was stationed again! The bandit soldiers were all wounded and looked depressed.
The three consecutive days of siege made them nervous and exhausted, and now they are relaxed for a while, their hands and feet are numb, and the pain has increased greatly! The painful shēn y sound of seriously wounded soldiers came from time to time from the large camp. Occasionally, there was a terrible cry that tore through the sky above the camp!
"Report to the prince, when our army withdrew to Donglai City, there were a total of 135,400 people! After three days of siege, about 82,000 people have now been withdrawn, of whom 13,000 are seriously wounded! "In the camp of the bandits, Hao Xiaode is reporting to Wang Bo about the retreat of the army!
"So many casualties?" Wang Bo obviously didn't believe it!
"Yes, my lord! The bows and arrows of the main allied forces were too powerful, and those arrows were even more unstoppable, even the shields they got from the Sui army could not stop them, and many soldiers died under the arrows! In the end, when the Allied forces set fire to the siege tools, no one on it could evacuate, and that fire also burned more than 15,000 of our brothers! Hao Xiaode explained to Wang Bo in detail the reasons for the large casualties!
"Alas, I can't imagine that an army that has just been formed by a common people is so elite!" Wang Bo sighed secretly! Through the news he got from Zhao San in the past two days, he also knew the details of the allied army! He was still a little unwilling: "General Hao, how much grain and grass do we have?"
"Lord Wang, according to our current army numbers, we can still ration support for three days!" When it comes to grain and grass, Hao Xiaode is very worried and proposes: "Lord Wang, should we withdraw to another county town first and replenish the grain and grass!" I think Namuping or Huangxian are good choices, where last year's harvest was good, and you should be able to find a lot of grain and grass! And these two places are only fifty or sixty miles away from us, and it only takes ten hours of rapid marching to get there! ”
Wang Bo lowered his head and thought for a long time, then turned his head and asked Sun Xuanya: "General Sun, is there any news from Zhao San?"
"Back to the prince, Zhao San has confirmed that the manpower has been arranged! At five o'clock in the morning tonight, they will open the west gate of Donglai City from the inside! ”
"Good! Good Friday tonight! We were defeated today, and the Su Shang kid would never have imagined that we would steal the city at night! Wang Bo's face finally had a little joy, "General Sun, General Hao, you go and arrange for the army to get ready!" I'm going to take Donglai City in one fell swoop tonight! ”
"No! The last will obey! ”
……
At the head of Donglai City, as the siege tools of the bandit army were burned out, the bandit soldiers quickly withdrew, and there was a cheering roar among the allied soldiers! The bandits have finally retreated again, and we can rest again!
In the three-day battle to defend the city, the Allied soldiers can be said to have done their best! The absolute gap in the number of bandits made the Allied army pressed and beaten, and now that the bandit army was defeated and retreated, the Allied soldiers spit out a sullen breath in their hearts!
At the head of the city, the wounded soldiers had been sent to the angel ambulance camp by the generals, and the dead soldiers were also carried down. The city returned to its former calm, the breeze was mixed with the smell of blood, and the black and red blood stains on the city walls seemed to tell people how tragic the previous battle was!
Donglai City, the head of the South Gate City! Su Shang rode a red war horse to patrol the city, and Wei Yunqi, Wang Zhongyi, Zhang Lihong and other young generals also followed on horseback!
Su Shang stopped on his horse and looked at the city wall of the south gate! The fiercest siege battle of the bandit army in three days took place here!
Wang Bo's bandit army retreated too quickly, and did not take a single corpse with them, and tens of thousands of corpses of bandit soldiers covered the entire open space under the city! Occasionally, you can still hear a painful shēn y sound coming from the pile of corpses!
The corpses overlapped, the severed limbs were scattered everywhere, and the whole scene was a hellish and tragic scene of Shura! On the corpse, next to the severed limbs, there are still intact or imperfect weapons! Or stuck in the corpse, or fell on the open ground, broken knives, long qiāng, strong bows, short spears and all kinds of weapons scattered everywhere!
Of course, the ground under the city was sprinkled with arrows and arrows from the allies. During the three-day siege, the Allied soldiers fired 1120,000 arrows at the city! A large number of powerful arrows were an important reason for the victory of the Allied forces in the battle to defend the city!
Looking at the tragic scene outside the city, Su Shang felt a little unbearable and a little sad in his heart! Although he was accustomed to life in this world, his mind was still affected by that magical dream! Imagine the tens of thousands of corpses under the city, who were still living people a few days ago, but now they have become cold corpses lying there! And what caused all this was a short war that lasted only three days!
Living in troubled times, human life is so lightly splashed! If you don't kill people, people will kill you, and that's the case in troubled times! There is no human morality, only the law of the naked jungle! In this troubled era, only strong can protect yourself and your loved ones! Su Shang worked hard to persuade himself, and removed those unbearable and sad efforts out of his mind! As the marshal of the Confederates, he must be strong!
Wei Yunqi and the generals quietly followed behind Su Shang, looking at the dense corpses outside the city, and couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts! Glad that the Confederates won this battle, otherwise it would be themselves who were lying on the cold ground! At the same time, there is some sadness, in order to defend the city of Donglai, some brothers have left forever!
"Marshal, there are not many arrows in the army, and it is estimated that there are less than 50,000 in stock! If Wang Bo's bandit army attacks the city again, there may not be enough arrows! Look, we're going to send someone to collect the arrows and weapons outside the city! Wei Yunqi looked at everything outside the city, and suddenly remembered the inventory of arrows!
"Then send someone to collect weapons!" Su Shang adopted his opinion without thinking about it, "Zhongyi, you can arrange this matter!" Try to collect weapons such as knives and arrows before dark! As for the corpses of those bandits, let's not deal with them first, and wait until the bandits are completely defeated! However, you have to keep your soldiers on your toes, and beware of the bandit soldiers who will raid and steal the city! ”
"Yes, Marshal! I'm going to arrange it right away! ”
"Then follow me to the Angel Ambulance Camp!" Su Shang turned his horse and walked towards the inner city......
Donglai City, the garrison camp, the angel ambulance camp, the whole camp is wounded! The lying and the sitting occupy the entire ground of the tent! The tent was filled with the voices of various harmony, the sound of talking, laughter, the sound of pain, and even some muffled cries!
Most of these wounded were seriously wounded, and some were seriously injured! As for those with more minor injuries, they left on their own after bandaging their wounds!
When Su Shang and his party appeared at the door of the tent, the entire tent fell silent all of a sudden, and there were no sounds! "Hello marshal!" Three seconds later, all the Allied soldiers shouted a neat greeting to Su Shang!
"Hello everyone! Brothers have worked hard! Su Shang greeted everyone with a smile. Not far away, zhāngchāng was lying on the ground! After he saw Su Shang, he struggled to stand up and salute Su Shang! It's a pity that his thigh was really badly injured, and he struggled a few times and couldn't get up!
Looking at the appearance of zhāngchāng, Su Shang knew what he was thinking! He hurriedly walked over and stopped zhāngchāng's movements: "Okay, Lichang! If you get hurt, don't move, just lie down! Take care of your injuries! ”
"Big sister, how is Lichang's injury?" Su Shang turned his head to look at Su's eldest sister Li Yirong and asked!
"Marshal, General Zhang's wound is relatively deep, but it didn't hurt his muscles and bones, just rest for a while!" Li Yirong's voice was a little nervous, and her gaze at Su Shang was a little different!
"Is there anything missing in that camp?"
"Marshal, there's not much alcohol left for disinfection!" Li Yirong's voice was much calmer!
"That's a problem! Now that there is a shortage of food, it is a bit difficult to make wine, and there is no time to make it! In this way, those wounds that are more serious should be disinfected with alcohol, and those that are slightly lighter should be disinfected with salt water! After Su Shang finished speaking, he explained to Li Yirong in detail the preparation method of disinfectant saline!
"Yunqi, you go back and let the Alliance Chamber of Commerce buy more wine back! And it is forbidden to sell grain and wine privately in Donglai County! Su Shang didn't forget to give instructions to Wei Yunqi behind him!
"Woo woo...... Suddenly, Su Shang heard a small cry! Following the voice, Su Shang saw a man dressed as an ordinary person, and his right hand had been cut off shoulder-high!
"This big brother, it's come to this, don't be too sad! The Alliance will take care of you in the future! Su Shang walked over and patted him on the left shoulder and comforted!
"Marshal, I'm not grieving for myself! I'm sad for my family's future life! The man wiped the tears from his eyes with his left hand, "I am the only man in the family, there is an old mother, a lady and a seven-year-old son at home, and my wife is a little frail and sick!" Originally, I participated in the defense of the city just to earn some reward money, so that I could buy medicine for her to cure her illness! Even me is like this now, who will take care of them in the future! Woohoo......"
"This big brother, don't worry! You are the injured who guarded our Donglai City, and you are the hero of our Donglai people! The people of Donglai will not ignore you, and our alliance will not ignore you! Su Shang looked at the man's eyes and said sincerely!
"Is it true?" The man's mood is much better!
"It's true! You take care of your injuries first, and the alliance will arrange it for you! Su Shang patted his left shoulder, then stood up and said to all the wounded: "Brothers are injured, I am sad!" You are all the guardians of Donglai City, you are all heroes! I know that some people may have been injured and disabled, and they are worried about their lives and those of their loved ones! Here, I would like to announce to you a sincere promise that those who participated in the battle to defend the city of Donglai will be rewarded, and secondly, the injured will be compensated according to the different conditions after the injury! As for the disabled wounded, we will also arrange his family! In a word, those who participated in the war to defend Donglai City, their rewards, compensation, pensions, family arrangements, etc., were all according to the standards of the Allied Army, whether they were ordinary people or private soldiers of the family! ”
