After the end of this operation, all the veterans who can survive must be arranged in one place with the new recruits, so that the combat effectiveness of our army can be rapidly improved.

In the future, these veterans will be the mainstay of our army. ”

Zhu Lihua's words ended everyone's laughter, and then he looked at Gao Yunce, who had always been cold-faced, knowing that he was a little sad that there were too many casualties in today's battle, so he coughed lightly and said: "Today I have seen the battle of Xichengtou clearly on the city tower, so the process of the battle does not need to be described, General Gao can just talk about our losses." ”

After asking about the words, Gao Yunce hurriedly bowed his head and responded, and then said: "In today's battle of Ximen, our army lost 2,300 people, 3,500 people who were seriously injured and could not fight in the short term, and those who were lightly injured had no plan.

Of the 6,000 casualties, veterans accounted for about 20 percent, and new recruits accounted for 80 percent.

In addition, more than 1,000 people who went to the city to help the war today also died in the arrows.

As for the casualties of the Rong army, because the battle was stalemate during the day, the casualties of the Rong army under the city could not be counted for the time being.

But you will be able to see the corpses all over the ground early tomorrow morning, and the number of dead and wounded is far greater than ours. ”

"Shhh

"This ......."

After Gao Yunce's words fell, the generals who were guarding the city at the other three gates during the day showed their eyes in disbelief.

When they rushed to the tower at the head of the west city, because it was already dark, they could not see the number of casualties at the head of the city and the soldiers under the city except for the strong smell of blood.

Therefore, when they heard Gao Yunce talk about the number of dead and wounded in Xichengtou alone in today's battle, which exceeded half of the number of soldiers killed in the city in the previous two months, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.

And they quickly understood in their hearts that the number of dead and wounded soldiers and horses in Xichengtou plus the number of dead and wounded soldiers and horses in Beicheng, the number of dead and wounded soldiers in today's battle was almost the same as the number of dead and wounded soldiers in the whole army in the previous two months.

How can this not be shocking, not worrying?

And Liang Qingshu, Xi Zihui and other generals and officials who participated in the battle of defending the West City Gate today once again recalled the tragic scene in the day in Gao Yunce's voice, and they couldn't help but bow their heads and stop making a sound.

"Everyone has heard that the current Huangyin war has entered the most critical juncture, and the slightest carelessness is a situation from which it will never recover.

I estimate that the Rong army's reckless siege of the city must have their intentions, so while resisting the Rong army's attack on the city, we must not fail to guard against them to injure people with hidden arrows.

So be it, Willowjaw.

In the next few days, you will need to select 10,000 people from among the people to supplement the battle. Now, with the continuous reduction of our soldiers, they cannot be used just as civilian men.

Secondly, you will allocate 1,000 people to guard the tunnel entrance every day, in case the Rong army will take advantage of the stalemate of the battle at the head of the city and then invade our city from the tunnel.

Do you understand this arrangement? ”

As Zhu Lihua issued an order to Liu Jaw, the only one in Huangyin City who had a "person" in his hand, Liu Jaw immediately clenched his fists and said:

"Whoa!

Although the people on the left are relieved, I have been trained for so long by 30,000 people, and I dare not say that I can compare with the old army, but compared with those new troops who came from afar and equally, they are not inferior at all.

Moreover, these 30,000 people are all local clans of Huangyin, and these days they have watched the Rong army wantonly destroy Huangyin City and destroy their homes, they have long wanted to climb to the top of the city and fight with the Rong army to defend their homes and defend the country. ”

Zhu Lihua listened to Liu Jaw's categorical words, and nodded slightly with satisfaction.

In fact, for the combat effectiveness of the 30,000 local people recruited from Huangyin City, Zhu Lihua had no doubts at all.

Because these people have been trained by the most elite soldiers under the command of Lihua since they were recruited, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they are even far stronger than the new troops recruited from Yaoping and other counties.

Therefore, when Liu Jaw revealed the desire of these 30,000 people to dare to fight, to fight, and to fight, Zhu Lihua was quite relieved about this in his heart.

"Generals, the gains and losses of Huangyin City and the life and death of my Great Qin depend on the battle in this month or so. In this month, the Rong army will definitely fight hard with our bloody battle at the head of the city regardless of casualties.

However, there is no need to be afraid, in my opinion, the Rong army can only maintain about two or three more siege battles on the scale of today.

Therefore, if they can't successfully capture my Huangyin City within this month, then they will no longer have the strength to pose the slightest threat to my Huangyin.

Because, the Rong army is not immortal, let alone a beast that is not afraid of death at all, they are also human beings, and they will also be conquered by the strong.

Today, in addition to the generals guarding the other gates, everyone has also seen that the number of soldiers and horses killed and wounded by the Narong army outside the city is no less than 10,000, but they have not even touched the head of my Huangyin city.

Therefore, the Rong army is delusional to capture Huangyin, which is really a fool's dream and wishful thinking.

However, I also want to ask everyone, please all the generals can work together with me to resist foreign humiliation, and only we can work together to ensure that my yellow yin is solid and the Great Qin Kingdom will last forever.

Dear generals, we have always been convinced that our army will win no matter good times or bad! Great Qin Wansheng! ”

Lihua's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the other generals also stood up immediately after Lihua finished speaking, and shouted in unison: "Great Qin Wansheng!" ”

Everyone's faces in the pavilion were a little flushed in the faint candlelight, and this flush reflected the excitement and encouragement in everyone's hearts.

Seeing that the morale of the generals was rising again, Zhu Lihua pressed his hand slightly and motioned for the generals to sit down again.

Afterwards, he shared his doubts with the generals, hoping to help him analyze why Lin Xu gave up the purpose of using tricks and taking risks.

"Originally, I thought that today's battle army would have a backhand, but after watching it for a whole day, I realized that they were indeed just simple brute force.

This doesn't seem to be Lin Xu's style, so I guess that Lin Xu's army or the fire in the backyard forced them to adopt a strong attack strategy, or ......"

As he said this, he frowned, as if he was a little unsure of his guess, and shook his head.

Then I heard Liang Qingshu ask tentatively: "Zuo Daren, the Rong army came to attack me in a hurry at the beginning, and there was a shortage of food and grass. Could it be that General Wei has recently won another battle and robbed the grain and grass, so the Rong army wants to fight quickly? ”

After Liang Qingshu finished speaking, he saw Yu Lihua shaking his head and said: "No, we got the news a few days ago that General Wei is now maneuvering with the 30,000 army led by Rong Jun Qiuzi in Lishan, and he doesn't care about intercepting and killing the grain road again, how can he achieve a great victory."

So, now I suspect that the Chinese army on the side of the Rong army may have an abnormal situation.

Just now, you have all heard General An say that there are only 10,000 Rong troops attacking the city at the North Gate today, and the leader is not one of Bemur and Ahuanu.

And the soldiers and horses attacking the city outside the gate of my west city are all Rong people, so I have some doubts about whether it will be that Lin Xu is no longer in command of the Rong army outside the city. ”

"What?"

"Are they mutiny?"

"That's good news!"

Listening to the words of the generals, they were silent for a few breaths, and after a few breaths of silence, it was like a stone smashed into the sparrow's nest, which suddenly caused a noise in the pavilion.

Everyone had different expressions on their faces, either surprised, excited, or excited, in short, they did not have the slightest doubt about Lihua's guess, and for a moment they said their own things as if the battle had been won.

In the past two months, although the Rong army has never taken the slightest advantage in the hands of the Qin people, the generals in this pavilion know very well in their hearts how close Lin Xu was to capture Huangyin City.

Every time all the generals thought of the dirt slope close to the head of the city, and saw the huge and deep ravine in the city, they always had palpitations, and knew that if it weren't for the ability of their own master general Lihua, I am afraid that this Huangyin City would not be able to hold it for even a month.

Moreover, Gao Yunce, Liang Qingshu and other core generals are even more clear, in fact, they were able to smash Lin Xu's strategy one after another, and luck also accounted for a lot of it.

Otherwise, even Lihua would have been defeated by Lin Xu.

It was precisely because everyone had made Lin Xu uneasy and restless, so when they heard Lihua guess that Lin Xu might have been removed from command, the generals were excited, and they could only aimlessly murmur meaningless words to cover up the panic in their hearts.

At this time, only Liang Qingshu and a few people were still a little sane, so everyone heard Liang Qingshu Zheng Sheng say: "Is the Zuo Daren guessing the military power seized by Nabemuer and Ah Huanu, so they will send all the Rong troops to fight with us in the city today?" ”

As soon as Liang Qingshu's words fell, Zhu Lihua frowned slightly and nodded, and then said softly: "That's right, otherwise, Lin Xu would never dare to send Rong people to attack the city."

I heard that those Rong people have always had a grudge against the generals in the pass, and the reason why nothing went wrong in the past was because Xiao Dashan was in the town.

Now that Xiao Jinxing has gone to the battlefield of Qi State, these generals will never be willing to succumb to Lin Xu.

It must be that they have seen that Lin Xu can't beat Huang Yin for more than two months, so they want to usurp the throne.

However, today I also saw that those Kunpeng troops were also preparing for the siege of the city, although they had not had time to join the battle before it was dark and could not fight again, but there was no trace of their state being forced to come.

That's where my doubts lie.

It is said that Lin Xu was usurped, and most of the Kunpeng army would not listen to the dispatch of Bemuer and Ahuanu.

What's more, although the Kunpeng army has suffered heavy losses in the past two months, counting the nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses who are still defending the city in the five counties of Xieyudong, Lin Xu's strength has not reached the point of breaking his muscles and bones, so why was Lin Xu usurped by Bei Mu Er and Ah Hua Nu? ”

After Lihua said that, all the generals fell into contemplation for a while, but who could guess what even Lihua couldn't guess.

Perhaps, this is a guess without an answer.

Or, that Lin Xu didn't plan to let Lihua guess the answer.

In the following month or so, the Rong army sent troops to harass the city every day, and organized four large-scale siege battles one after another.

Although the two armies fought in the dark every time and the blood flowed like a river, but in the end, under the hard work of the Qin army at the head of the city, the Rong army could only helplessly watch the impregnable Huangyin city head return in a huff.

After the last siege failed, the Rong army ceased to come and stormed the city.
