Chapter 488: Death Doesn't Change
Baili Yan entered the city from the head of the city, the battle was over, Su Hong, Fang Liang, and Sikong Nan moved to the southeast of the city and both sides of the city as planned, and quickly occupied the temporary administrative center and granary.
"General, the defenders have been completely killed!" Su Hong said.
"Very good, what about Feng Ming and the others?"
"Like...... It doesn't seem to have struck yet! ”
"This scumbag!"
"Scum? What is scum? Su Hong asked puzzled.
"It's the scum of the scum!"
"Oh......"
"What are the casualties of our troops?"
"Eighty-one of the three hundred old soldiers under the command of the last general were wounded, and no one was killed or seriously wounded. On Sikong Nan's side, our old pawns wounded more than 150 people and killed seven people. Xinding wounded more than 400 people, seriously wounded 20 people, and killed more than 70 people. If it weren't for Fang Liang's murder in the city, we would have suffered thousands of casualties! ”
"Yes, if it weren't for these people, we wouldn't have been able to go so smoothly, and I estimate that the casualties of the people would definitely not be small. Remember, anyone can die in this world, but you can't die your wife, daughter, parents, and brothers, you know! ”
"The Admiral knows."
If Feng Ming had cooperated with the killing into the city as soon as possible, Sikong Nan's troops would not have been under such tremendous pressure, and a third of them would have been killed or injured. What makes Bai Liyan's heart hurt even more is the old soldiers, these loyal veterans, they still have to rely on them to support the team in the future, and now they are dead one less and one is not replenished at all.
After Bailiyan took control of the granary and the temporary treatment center, he quickly pressed the craftsmen and the prostitute camp to move to the southeast granary without waiting for dawn. After converging with Sikong Nan, he sent 400 men to search for weapons, weapons, horses, and unicorns.
With the lessons learned from the first assault on the city walls, while the rebels are still immersed in the thrill of killing and venting their anger, transfer more resources as soon as possible so that they can evacuate tomorrow.
When the sky was faint, Fang Liang fell and came to the east of the city, Feng Ming mistakenly thought that Fang Liang was killed and escaped, and was about to taunt him:
"Yo, brother, I can't resist withdrawing it, what about those guys, haven't you withdrawn yet?"
Fang Liang was still a little loyal, he had just received Bai Liyan's promise before, and he didn't take Feng Ming's words seriously:
"The chief has taken the city walls, and I will send you into the city."
Feng Ming was taken aback when he heard the news:
"What, so fast, there must be a lot of casualties!"
Hearing this, Fang Liang finally couldn't help but sink his face, many of the dead and injured were brothers from his village:
"Hmph, yes, six or seven hundred people were killed and wounded!"
"It's impossible, nonsense. How could it be that only six or seven hundred people were killed and wounded. ”
"Believe it or not. Hurry into the city, otherwise what will happen if the leader is angry, you will weigh it yourself. ”
After finishing speaking, Fang Liang turned around and led the people away. Feng Ming is still self-righteous:
"What's the big deal, Lao Tzu is not a vegetarian! Go, brethren, into the city! ”
At dawn, the city was still in chaos, the people were all gathered in one settlement after another, more than 30,000 people were divided into more than 40 settlements, and some had already set up outside the grain hoard, shouting to kill the remaining Jinxuedi people, and more were clamoring to share grain, eat meat and drink wine.
"General, the chaotic people outside are making a lot of trouble, do you want us to kill people and release food?" Su Hong said.
"Let them nominate someone to talk!"
"The last general has already said it, but as a result, they pushed seven or eight people out, and no one recognized anyone, and they all shouted to talk to us."
"So much!" Bai Liyan was surprised: "Have Feng Ming's men and horses entered the city?" ”
"It's in town, but it's ......"
"But what!"
Bailiyan's heart jumped, worried about the branches. Su Hong smiled gloatingly:
"On the way into the city, this scumbag encountered a few white-haired thieves who were hiding, and he was caught off guard, three were injured, and four people died."
"This bastard who has more than enough success and more than failure, more than a thousand people, can't even deal with a few thieves!" Bai Liyan scolded fiercely, feeling angry. "Go, let Fang Liang talk to the one who made the most trouble first, and talk about it privately, so it's easy to divide and conquer."
"The last general understands!"
A quarter of an hour later, Feng Ming rushed to the grain hoard with his men and horses, and his heart was furious at the embarrassment he had just encountered. Bai Liyan had a gloomy face, and looked at it coldly:
"General Feng, why didn't you launch an assault on time last night!"
"I didn't expect you to enter the city so quickly."
"I'm asking you, why didn't you launch the assault on time, it's not that you care who is fast and who is slow."
Feng Mington was stunned, knowing that he was wrong, and said for a long time:
"It was Su Hong who left me and my brother to leave ahead of schedule, and we couldn't get up the wall, so we had to drag it out until dawn."
"Presumptuous!" Bai Liyan slapped the table and glared angrily: "The battle in the west of the city is together, attracting the enemy's troops, Su Hong is ordered to attack, but you can't shirk it, and the fighter plane is delayed, resulting in great casualties under Fang Liang's command, and it is almost the defeat of our army, if I don't enter from the north of the city, more than half of the casualties will be killed tonight, but you are arguing here, don't you feel ashamed, are you worthy of those dead brothers!" ”
"Yes, I didn't attack on time, but the first time I went to the battlefield, who has ever seen this battle. I'm also thinking about the big guys, thinking that if there is a case, I'll be able to meet outside the city, right? ”
"Hmph, answer. You ask yourself how you received our army. ”
"This ......" Feng Ming was speechless, and Zhi Wu was stunned for a long time and held back a sentence: "Isn't this everyone safe and sound, if there is something, won't I be able to answer it!" ”
Bai Liyan was extremely angry at his sophistry, but she couldn't do anything with him at the moment.
"Listen, marching and fighting are the lives of the brothers, not farming and eating, and one grain of rice is not stuffed between the teeth, but it is the bleeding of the dead. This time, our army won a complete victory, and I can not pursue it for the time being, and if there is a recurrence of the offense next time, the military law announced earlier will not be a decoration. ”
"Okay, I know, won't it be over next time if I attack on time!"
Feng Ming had a bad attitude, and dealt with Bailiyan verbally, but he still did his own thing in his heart, and he had no remorse at all. Of course, Bai Liyan also knew that she had already moved to kill in her heart.
When he was young, Fang Liang came to report the results of the negotiations:
"Chief, there are nine people in total, and their appetite is not small."
Bailiyan only felt incredible:
"Didn't you say seven or eight people before, why did they pop up again. Is there one you know in there? ”
"Yes, but not among the nine, I have had my brothers pull them over, more than seven hundred."
"These more than 700 people belong to one village?"
"Not exactly. Mainly from four villages, people pull people to pull over. ”
"Okay, tell me what the price of these nine heads is."
"Of these nine people, three are very powerful, and they all have more than 2,000 people. One is Jiang Gui, one is Wu Qun, and the other is Xiong Hu. ”
Almost as expected, open and close your mouth to ask for women, food, and weapons.
The total number of people under these three people is 8,000, accounting for more than a quarter, and the other small leaders have more than 3500 people, and as little as 1 or 200, and once they are not handled well, the consequences will be very serious.
More than half of the weapons scattered by the Jin Xuedi people are also in the hands of these three groups, and unlike the city wall that was attacked last time, there is also an armory here, which is next door to the grain hoard, which was occupied by the Xian army, and there are 500 sets of cowhide armor, 30 sets of fish scale iron armor, 800 long swords, 500 short swords, 700 spears, 800 crossbows, and almost all the arrow clusters are in the armory.
Fang Liang explained all the conditions in detail, and Bai Liyan said disdainfully:
"They really dare to bargain."
"What to do now, if we don't agree, they have already surrounded us to death, in case of action, it will be very bad for us."
"Fighting in the nest, only fighting in the nest. Go, continue to negotiate with them, take our share is the bottom line, and at the same time win over those who can be wooed, and others drag first. ”
"And what if they do it?"
"Let Sikong Nan, Su Hong lead the old soldiers and Feng Ming's men and horses to wait for the battle outside, and try it if you dare to do it! Wait until the evening and don't eat two meals, and see how strong they are. ”
People are iron and rice, they are hungry and panicked if they don't eat a meal, the grain hoarding is in the hands of the Xian army, and no matter how fierce the trouble is outside, if they don't eat a meal, let them be honest.
At first, the reaction was extremely intense, the sound of shouting and killing was endless, and if he really wanted to do it, Xianjun stepped on the ground with his feet, showed the guy in his hand, and immediately pressed back again.
By noon, most of the 30,000 people who had not eaten had eaten had no food to continue tossing, and they were barely shouting for food from the camp, or slaughtering pigs, cattle and sheep, or even killing horses and unicorns to satisfy their hunger.
At dusk, the people who had not eaten for two meals gathered again, most of them were weak and shouted to eat, and even did not hesitate to lie about the counterattack of the Jinxuedi people, but they did not know that Bailiyan had already released the scout horse to the west.
"General, it's time to eat."
Su Hong brought a silver dinner plate, which contained three cakes baked with wheat flour and barley flour, as well as two pieces of boiled beef, which he knew at a glance that they were freshly killed. Picking up the light cake, Bai Liyan asked:
"Do the brethren have all eaten?"
"They're all eating, show them what they're eating." Su Hong gloated.
"They still won't lower the price?"
"The drop is a little lower, but the last general is worried that these people are unreliable, and they don't believe it. If I am relieved, they will be able to think of evil immediately when they have eaten and drunk enough. ”
"Of course, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. But I already have a hand, Bai He and Jiang Jie are in the north, and when it gets dark, they will be honest immediately. ”
"I see, it's still a clever general."
"There's still a lot to learn. How many people did Fang Liang gather there? ”
"More than 3,000 people, one person gave a piece of bread, so as not to eat too much and toss us with water."
"Well, that's the right thing to do. Tell Fang Liang that he can agree to their current conditions, but he has to exchange it with a shovel and a pickaxe. ”
"Shhh...... What does the general want an iron pickaxe and shovel for? We've already brought hundreds with us, and it's useless to have more. This shovel is much bigger than our shovels and pickaxes, and it's inconvenient to carry too much. ”
"It is indeed inconvenient to use iron picks and shovels as weapons, but after all, they are made of iron. The iron tools of the Jinxuedi people were more common than those of the Central Plains, and when most of the agricultural tools of the vassal states were still bronze, they were already old enough to use shovels and pickaxes, which was such a luxury.
I took a look, the shovels and pickaxes of the Jin Xuedi people are good materials for wrought iron, although they are not as good as the weapon texture of the Jin Xuedi people, but as long as they are slightly smelted, quenched and forged, they can also forge very good weapons.
Three iron pickaxes can produce four horizontal knives in the shape of our army, which is a very good deal. In addition, it is inevitable that in the future, it will be necessary to excavate the fortifications and civil engineering work, and it is necessary to bring some with you. ”
"General. At present, there are more than 3,000 people, and the total number of people is almost 8,000 smaller, and the two of them have not yet been able to share a weapon. ”
"The matter of weapons will soon be settled. Iron picks and shovels are for future preparations, and they must be prepared in place. He was instructed to go down and exchange one shovel for a spear, two shovels for a short sword, and three shovels for a long sword. One pickaxe for a short sword, or two spears, two pickaxes for a sword, no armor or crossbow, go ahead and do it. ”
"No!"
