Chen Youliang did not attack the next day, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but Ma Du was still busy because there were too many wounded soldiers.

On the basis of the original, the size of the wounded soldier battalion has expanded by almost three or four times, and there are five or six hundred wounded soldiers living here alone, plus the wounded soldiers who came to change the medicine for follow-up, the workload is really very large, and the original medical craftsmen of the two wounded soldier battalions have fallen ill.

Ma Du had no choice but to go to Zhu Wenzheng again to ask for manpower, but Zhu Wenzheng said very simply no. Ma Du knew that he was not lying, less than 20,000 men and horses had to guard eight city gates, and he only left less than 2,000 Chinese troops in his hands, but he had to support each city gate at any time, and there was naturally a shortage of manpower.

Ma Du naturally didn't care about the few men and horses in his hands, although Hongdu City was not big, but there were tens of thousands of people living there, couldn't he muster 180 people to go to the wounded barracks to fight and do some rough work.

Zhu Wenzheng smiled, "So you want such a person!" Well said, well said, I will give an order to have some strong men come back for you. ”

Pull Zhuangding? It's such a distant word, doesn't this guy know how to mobilize the power of the masses, when the bandits become addicted, I'm afraid that his temperament won't be able to change for a while. No, it seems that the government is also doing this at this time.

Ma Du doesn't understand, why do you want such annoying things when you want money and money, and you want food and food.

It's infuriating that this guy still has a look of sudden realization, and asks Ma Du why he did such an annoying thing.

What can Ma Du say, of course, it is because you officials and masters are used to acting as powerful and powerful, and your way of thinking has become simple and rude. The common people of China are pitiful, those who bring their own dry food to work for the government, not to mention those who are tired and tired, and those who are still unable to move have to be whipped with whips and frightened by figurines and knives.

"Is the Metropolitan Governor working hard to defend this city?"

Zhu Wenzheng nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Why isn't it hard, needless to say, Chen Youliang came to attack the city, even if I haven't slept for the past two days, I will wake up at the slightest movement, and I can't eat or sleep." Look at my mouth is foaming. ”

"Aren't you planning to recruit some Ding Zhuang to defend the city? 20,000 is indeed too little. ”

"Hongdu has changed hands several times, we have not been on the ground for a long time, the people here are uncertain, if there is money and food for them to do some chores in the wounded barracks, they may be able to recruit people, but they can be used to defend the city, I am afraid that they will not be able to recruit people, if they are forcibly recruited, and they have not experienced the battle formation, they can't understand the orders and mess up, and even the battle against the water is possible."

Ma Du understood what Zhu Wenzheng meant, the people in the troubled times have no sense of belonging, and they can't even take care of their own families, who else can they fight for? Of course, this does not mean that in troubled times, you will not be able to recruit soldiers, and there will be a ready-made example in later generations.

"Who said that you were forced to be requisitioned, this matter is very simple, as long as you are kind to the people, and by the way, say something bad about the enemy, it doesn't matter. I won't tell you, I have to go back to work, I am very short of manpower there, remember to send someone to me earlier, by the way, you have time to go to the wounded barracks to condole, and it also seems that you, the metropolitan governor, care for the soldiers, and wait for them to heal before they are willing to continue to work for you. ”

When Ma Du left, Zhu Wenzheng rubbed his chin with his fingers and muttered softly, "Be kind to the people and say bad things about the enemy." Be kind to the common people and speak ill of the enemy......"

Early the next morning, Zhu Wenzheng sent the No. 100 people, and by the way, he comforted the wounded soldiers, and saw the surprised and moved appearance of the wounded soldiers, and guessed that this guy had never done such a thing before.

These soldiers are really pitiful, just for a bite to eat, they follow such a conscienceless boss to fight in the sea of fire, Ma Du is really not worth it.

The 100 people sent here are rare and reliable things that Zhu Wenzheng has done, and they are all clean white families with families and mouths, along with their household registrations.

They were all hired with money and grain, and each person was given one meal a day, and two catties of white rice were given, which was only eight yuan in labor costs for future generations.

Although the wages are not much, they are not ambiguous at all when they do their work, carrying water and chopping wood, lighting the fire and washing, serving feces and urine, what is dirty, what is tired, what is tired, the muscles on their faces are tired and twitching, and they do not forget to squeeze out an ugly smile for those auxiliary doctors.

It's all bitter haha, but they are all pure masters, in order not to let the family go hungry, they would rather bow down and be small and beat themselves into the dust. Ma Du can not do much for them, so Xu Daliang gives them an extra pound of rice every day, which is squeezed out of the alcohol workshop.

Since the siege of Chen Youliang, Zhu Wenzheng's staff and subordinates have been particularly close to checking accounts, especially grain. Fu Kumadu has also been to see it, enough for the whole city to eat for half a year, and I don't know what they are nervous about.

On April 27, before dawn, the Han army attacked Fuzhou Gate again, but the strength was not strong, and it could be heard by listening to the sound, and it was intermittent several times.

But at ten o'clock in the afternoon, it suddenly intensified, and it was an unprecedented offensive intensity, even if it was not on the city wall, Ma Du knew that because less than half an hour after the start of the battle, the explosion of improvised grenades began to be heard in the direction of Fuzhou Gate.

Zhu Wenying hurriedly ran into the wounded barracks, covered in blood and with minced meat hanging on his armor, as if he had crawled out of hell.

"Why are you hurt again?"

"It's not my blood, it's all the enemy's! Bring your things and come with me, Deng Shuai is injured! ”

"What a wound!" Madu asked as he packed his things.

"I was shot in the arm by an arrow!"

"Don't worry about minor injuries!"

"It keeps bleeding, and I can't stop it!"

"Oh, eighty percent of it hurts a big blood vessel, so you have to hurry up!" Ma Du hurriedly packed up his things and followed Zhu Wenying out of the wounded barracks.

I didn't expect Zhu Wenying to ride over, it seems that Deng Yu's blood is really bad, Ma Du was picked up by Zhu Wenying and put on the back of the horse's neck, Zhu Wenying rode on the saddle, and as soon as he clamped the stirrup, the horse neighed and ran.

Horseback riding is not very comfortable, a bit like walking on a rugged mountain road on a motorcycle, as if you will fall into a cliff at any moment.

Ma Du hugged the horse's neck and didn't dare to open his eyes, Zhu Wenying looked funny, "What are you afraid of, I'm holding your belt, you can't ride a horse?" By the way, you have airplanes. ”

"How could Deng be hurt when he participated in politics? Isn't he cautious? ”

"Chen Youliang is crazy, his soldiers are still attacking the city, he dares to let people release arrows, this kind of thing that hurts the enemy by 800 and loses 1,000, that is, he dares to do. There is another arrow that may have come at me specifically, and if Marshal Deng hadn't pushed me, I would have been shot to the core. Zhu Wenying also looked apprehensive, "With such a long distance and such a strong strength, I thought it was only the old man, but there were a few capable people on Chen Youliang's side." ”

"I said a long time ago that your silver armor is too dazzling, and you can see that the armor of the Metropolitan Governor and Deng Shenzheng is gray. This is the experience of the battlefield, you have to learn a little, you better change it as soon as possible. His little wings swept Zhu Wenying from Zhenjiang to Hongdu, if he died here unlucky, his responsibility would be great.

"Nope! This armor was chosen by me with great difficulty, and I like it when I look at it, so I won't change it! "Zhu Wenying definitely suffers from the second middle school disease that the head can be broken and the hairstyle cannot be messed up.

When he dismounted, Ma Du only felt his stomach churning, sour water gushing, and his chest was hot. Zhu Wenying patted Ma Du on the back, "Do you want to vomit?" ”

Ma Du took a deep breath, "It's okay, let's go!" ”

The battle was so fierce that Ma Du did not expect that under the city wall, there were not many soldiers in formation, and there was also a team standing on the road of kicking the city, and the knives were drawn out but did not go up, and he did not know what he was doing.

Seeing Ma Du's puzzled eyes, Zhu Wenying explained: "Of course, it is impossible for everyone to be crowded on the city wall, isn't that a live target for others." Besides, there is only such a small place in the city, and it is crowded with people, and if you want to mobilize people, you can't move, let alone defend the city. ”

"No wonder most of the governors don't recruit soldiers, it seems that the army is still very rich."

Zhu Wenying smiled bitterly: "What's rich, this is the Chinese army of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Deng Shuai's soldiers are almost gone, go faster!" ”

"Huh! That team seems to be equipped with a different weapon, it's a firearm! "There is also a team of soldiers with unusual equipment under the city gate, about seven or eight hundred people, all of them are short swords and leather armor, and when they see the Zhankou Gong, they understand that this is Deng Yu's firearms unit, and their firearms seem to be not just as simple as the Zhankou Gong.

Zhu Wenying picked up a wooden shield at the base of the city wall, pulled Ma Du and went up the city wall. Chen Youliang didn't know how many flying ladders had been erected outside the city, and he could see the shadow of the Han army across several layers of defenders' human walls.

Countless wielding knives and spears, the head poking out of the city wall was cut in half in the blink of an eye, and the high pressure in the skull caused blood to splatter everywhere like a spring. From time to time, Han soldiers jumped on the city wall, were stabbed in the chest and abdomen by several spears at the same time, and fell to the city screaming. Someone was lucky enough to kill the defenders behind the female wall, but in the blink of an eye, they were killed by more defenders, and before they died, they didn't forget to pounce to cause chaos and give the brothers behind a chance.

"Squatting in front!" Someone shouted loudly and threw wood or huge stones with iron nails down the walls of the city, followed by the sound of ladders breaking and falling to the ground, mixed with countless screams.

"Nothing to see!" Zhu Wenying raised his shield to protect Ma Du at his side, because from time to time there were thick crossbow arrows flying up the city, and the strength of the head was much stronger than the bow and arrow flying in the sky, and almost all those who were hit by the arrow were killed on the spot, and even killed and injured many.

When he saw Deng Yu, this guy was still commanding the battle, and the Han army that rushed up to the city wall rushed to kill him, and he could still swing a knife to kill, if it weren't for his pale face, it really didn't look like he was injured.

Looking at Zhu Wenzheng again, he was much calmer, standing in front of the city gate with a golden sword, and there were two personal soldiers with shields next to him to block arrows, which is the bearing that the boss should have. Seeing Ma Guo coming, he immediately said: "Quickly treat Boyan's injuries, don't kill Boyan!" ”

"Hmm!" Deng Yu responded and said to Ma Du: "There is Mr. Lao." ”

Ma Du didn't give him nonsense, but saw that the sackcloth bandage on his left arm was about to fall apart, and when he untied the blood-soaked bandage, he saw that a large piece of flesh was missing from his forearm, and a gap was formed, which showed the speed of the arrow.

The blood from the wound was even more endless, and there was no intention of coagulation, and sure enough, it hurt the vein, Ma Du tore off a bandage and tied it tightly on his upper arm, and asked, "What about that piece of flesh!" ”

Zhu Wenying pointed to an arrow shot at the pillar of the gatehouse, it was just an ordinary bow and arrow, but most of the entire arrow did not enter the pillar, and the force that had nowhere to release it shattered the arrow shaft, as for Deng Yu's piece of flesh, it is estimated that it has been sparse between the pillar and the arrow.

Zhu Wenying said: "See it!" At least a two-stone strong bow, such a great strength, and I don't know who this quasi-head is. ”

Ma Du rolled his eyes, who the fuck cares about this at this time, saving people is important, "Let's go to the city gate building, it's not safe here......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang behind him, followed by countless terrible screams, Ma Du subconsciously turned around, only to see a piece of dust, damn! The walls collapsed!
