"Report the proportion of casualties." Xiang Kunlun saw that three more legions were dispatched on the opposite side, and hurriedly organized soldiers to defend the city.

"Division commander, we are the home defense, plus everyone resists according to the method arranged by the horse master, so the city wall has not been breached, after a day of offensive and defensive battles, the enemy army has at least 60,000 killed, although the enemy has died a lot, but our casualties are also a lot, 30,000 people are killed, and more than 10,000 people are wounded." Several captains reported the data.

"How can there be so many casualty figures?" When Nangong Xiu on the side heard this, he hurriedly walked over and asked, "How many wounded soldiers are there on our side?" Send a military doctor to bandage the wounded soldiers first, let the soldiers who are in good health go up to the top of the wall for a while, and the wounded soldiers rest for a while, and then go over after the wounded soldiers have recovered their strength. ”

"What's wrong with this? How can there be time to take care of those wounded soldiers? All the people who can move are on the wall, one word, dry. Interrupting Nangong Xiu's words, Xiang Kunlun instructed those captains: "Immediately order everyone to prepare for battle, as long as the soldiers with sound legs and feet, immediately copy the guy on the wall, the enemy's large army is coming, we must block it." ”

"Preparing for war? What to prepare for? There are only 35,000 people left on our side, but there are still 440,000 people on the enemy side, and there are more than a fraction of them on our side. Speaking of this, Nangong Xiu pointed to the tired soldiers around him, and said emotionally: "We ran out of food the day before yesterday, and the brothers haven't eaten for two days.

You go and look at those soldiers, they are all hungry and killing the enemy, you have seen this war today, the enemy is attacking upwards, the brothers are gritting their teeth to resist, they have exhausted all their physical strength, especially those wounded soldiers, they can't even stand, if they don't let them rest and rest, what is the difference between pulling up the city wall and sending them to death? ”

"Alright, you all don't argue." At this time, Ling Xia and Fu Qingyun came over from a distance, and the quarrel between Xiang Kunlun and Nangong Xiu happened to be heard by them, stopping the dispute between the two, and Fu Qingyun was also a little helpless: "I have already reported to the war zone about the food and salary, and Ling Xia has also sent letters to the war zone many times, but the war zone has never replied."

Tonight's war is related to the success or failure of the province of Zhou'an, and even related to the battle situation of the entire northern theater, the ten provinces of Yuankunjiang are now only left with us here and have not been lost, at this moment, the strategic materials and wounded soldiers of the entire northern theater have passed through our western region, and every moment we resist the enemy, we have ensured the transfer of countless materials and wounded soldiers.

I know that everyone has done their best, but sometimes things are not solved by trying their best, we still need to be dedicated, you also know that Ling Xia has prepared a backhand, but those backhands must cooperate with reinforcements to be effective, the reinforcements are on the way, what we can do now is to try our best to delay time, this is our only chance, so there is no time to take care of the wounded. ”

"Commander, those wounded soldiers will be sent to death if they go up." Nangong Xiu's tone was full of excitement and depression.

"You have to die, who made them soldiers." Although Fu Qingyun's tone was tough when he spoke, there was sadness in his eyes.

Ling Xia was speechless, and after muttering for a while, he said lightly: "Commander, General Nangong, General Xiang, you all calm down, so let's do it, I will find a way to delay the enemy army for one night, you remove all the soldiers from the city wall, although the cavalry team of 10,000 people under my command has been scrapped, but those war horses are still there."

Later, let the canteen kill all the war horses and stew meat, and let the soldiers rest quickly after eating, as for the wounded, I set aside fifty jars of hemp to boil, and let the military doctor use those drugs to treat the wounded soldiers, my method, it is estimated that it can be managed for one night at most, and tomorrow it will be recognized, once the enemy wakes up, he will definitely storm the city in anger.

So you let everyone eat and drink enough tonight to replenish their spirits, and prepare for the enemy's storm attack tomorrow, with this night's buffer, the soldiers' physical strength and body and mind will definitely recover a lot, reinforcements will arrive at noon tomorrow, as long as everyone survives the wave of attacks in the morning, we can force the enemy to withdraw, so tomorrow is a battle against the water. ”

"What did you just say? All the soldiers defending the city have withdrawn? Isn't the wall empty after it has been withdrawn? What should the enemy do when the city is attacked? What do you yourself use to resist? Fu Qingyun looked at Ling Xia with a shocked expression: "General Ling, will your plan work?" If your method fails, our Third Legion will be doomed. ”

"You'll see." After speaking, Ling Xia asked his soldiers to go to the camp tent to get a bamboo flute, and then, he asked the kitchen to prepare a roast chicken and a jar of wine, and sent someone to pick up a lamp and fill it with lamp oil.

When he was about to recall, Ling Xia began to calculate and deduce in his mind, since the island country attacked Beicheng, it had lost one after another, first Yamamoto Yoshio lost 300,000 soldiers and horses, and then Tsuchihara Ishiji and all the generals were killed, so the enemy army must be full of vigilance and vigilance against him.

The soldiers on the opposite side are all veterans, and the generals are all promoted by Nakajima Xuegan from the local soldiers, in other words, those people on the opposite side have all suffered losses from Ling Xia's hands, if they are replaced by new generals, maybe they are not so wary of Ling Xia, but these people can't, they are afraid of losses, and they will never dare to enter the city without 100% certainty.

Judging from the two things of transporting the prisoners and personally leading people to sneak attack the battle guards in the middle of the night, Ling Xia analyzed that Nakajima Xuegan was a person who was both suspicious and opportunistic, if he was not suspicious, Nakajima Xuegan would not transport those prisoners. If he didn't like to be opportunistic, Nakajima Yukigan wouldn't have thought of attacking the Guards at night.

According to the battle report data collected by Lao Cui, Nakajima Snow Shore is good at steady and steady fighting, every battle must be foolproof, and he likes to use absolute superiority to hit the enemy, although Nakajima Snow Shore is often opportunistic, but he never takes the sword sideways, but this kind of person usually has one of the biggest flaws, that is, ----- be cautious.

In addition to being cautious, Nakajima Snow Shore also cares a lot about his status, after all, he is a person on the list of famous generals, the list of famous generals is the list of glory of all military generals, and the generals of all countries in the world are striving to be on the list of famous generals, and Nakajima Snow Shore is no exception, he is now ranked on the list of famous generals, but he is the last.

Therefore, Nakajima Xuegan did not dare to let himself fail, because other generals would only be demoted if they failed, and once he failed, he would fall off the list, cautious people did not dare to take risks easily, Nakajima Xuegan is this kind of person, this is Ling Xia's opportunity, he wants to use Nakajima Xuegan's caution and suspicion to arrange an empty city plan for Nakajima Xuegan.
