As soon as the words entered the ears, the joy on everyone's faces suddenly dissipated.

Although it is winter at this time, the temperature in Liangshan is not low, and it will not take long for the corpse to decompose.

"So what are we going to do?"

"There's no other way to either bury all the bodies outside the city, or abandon the city and leave." Yang Congyi sat back in his chair with a solemn expression.

Last night, the enemy army attacked like moths fighting fire, I don't know if it was just to drive away the tiger, in order to take the city, even tens of thousands of people can be easily abandoned, if this is the case, Li Yue people are really vicious and cunning,

But this can't be said, they have 100,000 people, and they can attack during the day, if they are well prepared, Liangshan City will definitely not last a few days, and sooner or later they will be captured.

Thinking about it, Yang Congyi couldn't understand what the enemy's intentions were, but now he took it and left tens of thousands of corpses, making it difficult for Liangshan City to hold on for a long time.

"The enemy can't see it for the time being, but it's safe for them to hide in the shadows, if we go out of the city to clean up the corpses, they suddenly attack the city, and Liangshan City can't be defended. If you want to wait for them to clean up, I wonder if it's possible? Yuan Hua asked everyone.

"You're going to think they're stupid and come and bury the dead for us? I see that they wish they were far away, don't you look at the people around you who can't see them? Su Zhong replied angrily.

finally won a battle and killed tens of thousands of enemies, but this is the result, how not to make him depressed and angry.

Seeing that everyone's mood was instantly depressed, and complaints came one after another, Yang Congyi hurriedly spoke out to stop: "Don't complain, find a way to tide over the difficulties first." With so many corpses, even if the enemy does not come to sneak attack, it is not possible to send someone out to clean them up in three or five days, and it is even more impossible to expect the enemy to clean them up, so don't think about cleaning up the corpses. ”

Yao Chang said: "What does the prison mean is that we can only give up the road to Liangshan immediately?" ”

"Then we tossed for so long, didn't it be in vain?"

"How much sweat, how much blood, and just give up? Why did we come to Liangshan? ”

"We just won the battle, and we ran immediately, why are we fighting this battle?"

Everyone was emotional, they came to Liangshan from Qinzhou to hold on for so long, and it was really incomprehensible to evacuate, and besides, they had just won the battle, thinking that they had defeated the enemy, but they didn't expect it to be the result of this kind of victory and defeat.

"Don't get excited, who said we can only run!"

As soon as Yang Congyi said this, everyone immediately quieted down and waited for his next words.

I only heard Yang Congyi say: "The corpse outside the city will rot and give birth to a huge number of mosquitoes, if you burn it with fire first, you can delay it for one or two, we can cover it with rockets to eliminate the bloody gas on the corpse, stop the gathering of mosquitoes, slow down the breeding of mosquitoes, hold on for a while, and then think of other ways." In addition, the corpses in the moat must be salvaged immediately to ensure that the water in the city is clean, and once it is contaminated with disease, it will be a big trouble. Without further ado, you will immediately arrange for people to go out of the city and retrieve the corpses from the river ashore first. ”

Everyone's expressions eased slightly, and Yuan Hua immediately asked, "Is the city gate going to be opened?" ”

"Don't open it for the time being, go out through the south gate, beware of enemy attacks near the south gate. Hurry up and go. ”

"Yes." Everyone got up and took the order and immediately went to make arrangements.

Half an hour later, hundreds of Xuanwei troops and Qingzhuang went out from the south gate with tools, divided left and right, and quickly headed towards the east, west, and north of the city.

The defenders of the Four Gates climbed up and looked up, but they did not see any enemy movements, and they seemed to have disappeared.

Two hours later, after the bodies in the moat were recovered, everyone returned to the city.

Since Liangshan City was surrounded by the enemy, ordinary people generally do not go out, especially yesterday when the enemy army attacked, the night was overwhelmingly roaring, no one knows, no one knows, in the trembling and sleepless night, until dawn, even if there is no change in the city, they do not dare to go out at will, it is all the streets in the city, except for the Xuanwei army is Liangshan is young and strong, the city is orderly, everything is the same.

After a calm day, after nightfall, the lights were lit on the city, and the Xuanwei army ignited the rockets one by one, shooting them at the corpse wall of the corpse mountain outside the city, from the moat to fifty or sixty zhang away, until dozens of zhang were covered with rockets, forming a wide fireworks area.

At night, when the breeze rose, the fire began to spread, and soon the growing fire began to turn, burning from the north of the city to the west of the city, and the hills to the west along the barren grass set ablaze the hills to the west, reflecting the night sky in the west.

The small fire outside the city continued to burn for several hours, and it was naturally impossible for the corpses to be burned, at most they could only burn the clothes, burn the blood, reduce the bloodthirsty mosquito bites, and reduce the spread of diseases.

After the fire burned overnight, the outbreak of mosquito disease will be postponed for a while, but if the corpse cannot be disposed of within half a month, Liangshan City will no longer be able to live in people.

Yang Congyi led the generals to walk up to the city against the stench, stayed in the city for a long time, looking at the piles of corpses, everyone was at a loss, there were too many corpses, and there was no way to deal with them in the short term.

Burning is a method, but it requires a lot of firewood, and at present, tens of thousands of corpses cannot be burned, and the only feasible way is to dig a pit and bury it, but at present, the situation of the enemy army is unknown, and the large army cannot easily leave the city.

After the enemy retreated, they did not appear again, but they did not disappear, if the expectation was right, they should have retreated to Da Nanguan and Yulin City, after this defeat, it was necessary to reorganize the army, the enemy army was numerous, and it was not impossible to make a comeback after a few days of rest, and it was not impossible to hold Liangshan at that time.

After seeing the sea of sparks composed of hundreds of thousands of people, Yang Congyi's judgment of the enemy's strength is very intuitive and clear, the Liangshan defenders plus the temporarily convened young people are only more than 8,000 people, hundreds of thousands of them just stand still and let them kill, but also to exhaust them, if they are a little defensive, they can easily attack the city, the disparity in strength is too great, Liangshan can not be defended.

By mistake, Li Yue didn't know what stupidity he had made, he came to attack the city in the dark without defense, leaving so many corpses outside the city, they couldn't attack, and Liangshan City was also surrounded by corpses.

In this way, it can only be seen who can last longer, whether the disease breaks out first in Liangshan City, or whether Li Yue's army consumes the grain and grass first and withdraws.

For several days, Yang Congyi and others could not clean up the corpses outside the city, and there were no enemy troops in the north, only the hills in the east, and some figures could be seen from time to time.

"Supervising the army, Tongmian sent military intelligence!"

Yao Chang rushed into the mansion and woke up Yang Congyi, who was meditating hard.

He didn't say a word, but took a look at it, and his doubts deepened.

"What did they say?" Yao Chang saw that Yang Congyi had no special expression on his face, and he didn't know whether this military situation was good or bad.

Yang Congyi put away the information and said in a deep voice: "The intelligence said that the You Yijun broke through from Yulin City five days ago, retreated with their whole body, and disappeared, and Yulin and Danan Pass were all in the hands of Li Yueren. ”

Yao Chang exclaimed: "You Yijun retreated? It can't be an early run, right? I know they can't be trusted. ”

"If they don't run, Yulin City may or may not be able to hold it. But whether to defend it or not, it depends on what they want, they spare their lives, what we want is to retreat from the enemy, is to establish meritorious deeds, naturally it is different, in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, we can't force them. Yang Congyi smiled bitterly.

"If they stick to Yulin City, how can they not be able to hold a city with more than 10,000 palace front divisions? The enemy army lacks food and grass, can not take the Yu Lin, will definitely not be entangled, will go directly around the city south to Liangshan, after the enemy army passes, they will control the Great South Pass, they can block Li Yue people outside the Great Song Dynasty, this battle will be won. It's good now, as soon as they leave, Li Yue will occupy Yulin again, and confront our city, and it will be difficult to say whether they will win or lose. Yao Chang was indignant and depressed.

The move of the Youyi army is indeed debatable, the Xuanwei army has already sent them food, grass and ordnance before, and Qinzhou has also been replenishing them, it is said that it should not be a problem to hold on to Yulin City for a month or two, but they retreated, gave up a possible victory, and put more than 3,000 Xuanwei troops in an isolated and helpless situation.

But the matter has come to this point, and the Xuanwei Army is not qualified to complain about the You Yi Army, the You Yi Army is the forbidden army in front of the palace, and the Xuanwei Army is just a Huiyi Guard, on the battlefield, there is a forbidden army, how can there be room for the Xuanwei Army to point fingers.

"I always feel uneasy when the enemy forces are slow to move. Let them hurry up to investigate the enemy situation in Yulin, and as soon as there is news, they will report it immediately. ”

Yao Chang received the order and quickly left the mansion.

Not long after, a large group of people appeared at the ferry outside the city, as if they were preparing to cross the river to the south.

Yang Congyi got the news and immediately set off to the vicinity of the West Gate.

When I climbed to the top of the city, I saw that thousands of people appeared at the ferry on the north bank of the river a mile away, and there were also large troops on the south bank, and both sides were wary of Liangshan City.

Soon after, several boats with dozens of people left the ferry port from the north shore, and after reaching the south bank, the empty boat returned to the north shore and another group of people crossed south.

Who crossed the river, no one in Liangshan City knew it, although it was just a mile away, they didn't dare to go out easily, who knew if it would be the enemy's trick to lure the snake out of the hole.

After thousands of people crossed the river unhurriedly, they assembled on the south bank and marched away.

Yang Congyi watched them leave with his own eyes, if he knew that there were several important people in Li Yueguo's team, he would definitely take a risk, but by the time he knew, they had already returned to Thang Long City.

The next day, Yang Congyi went to the city to inspect as usual.

The corpses outside the city have begun to stink and rot, and in three or five days there will be a chance to dig a pit and bury them, and those corpses will not be able to move, and he is also extremely anxious, although Lang Zhong has taken medicine in advance to prevent mosquito bites, but it is not a long-term solution, the source of the disease is not removed, so many dead corpses, and the disease and plague will break out sooner or later.

If the enemy still does not retreat for a few more days, it is really impossible, the Xuanwei army will retreat to Tongmian and save their lives, and forcing the enemy to retreat from the vicinity of Yongzhou to Yulin is also a big victory, which is completely acceptable to the Xuanwei army.

"Prison army, enemy troops have been found in the north of the city!"

As soon as Yang Congyi left the city, some soldiers rushed to report the military situation.
