"Have the casualties been counted?"

Sima Tu asked Zhuang Siping.

"A total of 1,653 brothers were killed in the battle, and a total of 728 were seriously wounded and could not continue the battle!"

Zhuang Siping looked at the numbers on the military newspaper and choked up and reported the casualties to Sima Tu.

After hearing this, Sima Tu nodded calmly and said, "Judging from today's situation, the casualties of the Chen army are three to four times more than that of our army!" ”

Zhuang Siping nodded, and then said, "The last general, look at the atmosphere of the soldiers tonight, a little gloomy......"

"Alas~"

Sima Tu sighed, he had expected this situation a long time ago.

The soldiers who were still fighting at that time were either splattered with blood, or affected by the sound of war cries and war drums, and other factors made the soldiers of the Qin army fearless of death in the environment at that time.

When the night came, when they had eaten and drunk a bowl of hot soup, they couldn't help but think about the scene of today's battle, watching their comrades fall one by one, and a fear of death spread to their hearts.

"Let's go out and have a look!"

Zhuang Siping nodded and followed Sima Tu out of the tent.

Along the way, there were still thousands of soldiers gathered around the fires outside the tent to keep warm. Or rather, the flame in front of them can give them a glimmer of hope!

Sima Tu looked at it, almost no one spoke, all of them were expressionless, their eyes were distracted, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

"At night, we must pay attention to the movements of the Chen army, the 20,000 soldiers who did not participate in the battle are divided into four groups and take turns to keep vigil!" Sima Tu instructed Zhuang Siping, who came with him.

"No!"

After Zhuang Siping left, Sima Tu looked at the soldiers in the camp and was lifeless, feeling anxious and thinking left and right.

"Bang!" At this time, Sima Tu felt a pain in his back, and he felt hit by a heavy object.

Sima Tu turned around, looked at the two soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, frowned and shouted, "What are you doing!" ”

The two soldiers trembled and did not dare to reply, but lowered their heads and shouted for the general's atonement.

Sima Tu became more and more irritable, casually glanced at the half-human thing wrapped in black cloth next to him, frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”

The soldier raised his head and glanced at what Sima Tu was looking at, and replied tremblingly, "War drums... Drum! ”

"Drums of war..."

Sima Tu muttered, and a glimmer of essence suddenly flashed in his eyes!

"Go down, be careful!"

After speaking, Sima Tu hurriedly walked to Guo Xiao, who was counting the garrison resources.

Guo Xiao, who was counting resources, heard the movement behind him, turned his head and saw Sima Tu hurrying towards him, he was slightly startled in his heart, and hurriedly gave a military salute.

"General!"

Sima Tu stopped again and again, and said bluntly: "Call all those who can beat the war drums to the center of the city!" Bring all the drums of war over there! ”

Guo Xiao didn't know what to do, nodded stupidly, and immediately turned around and shouted to the soldiers in the treasury, "Tell some people to move all the war drums to the center of the city, and call all the people in the war drum battalion!" ”

After a while, a full eighty drums were lined up in four columns in the center of the city, and the soldiers of the war drum battalion were all holding drum hammers in their hands, and their eyes were all focused on the general in front of him, Sima Tu, who was wearing black armor and had a serious expression!

Sima Tu turned around, glanced at the soldiers of the War Drum Battalion, and asked, "Have you heard of my Great Qin's unclothed?" ”

Hearing this, all the soldiers straightened their backs and nodded heavily.

This Great Qin war song, let alone a soldier of the Qin army, even a seven-year-old child can sing it well. Even those people who are far away in Qindao have been passed down from generation to generation.

This war song is also one of the compulsory courses of the war drum camp.

"Knock!"

Sima Tu roared, and turned his back to the war drum battalion.

Knock knock! Knock~Knock!

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son! ”

Sima Tu stood there singing Wuyi, with a sense of grief and indignation in his voice, an unyielding will!

Behind him, the soldiers of the War Drum Battalion were suddenly full of tears, their lips moved slightly, and they actually sang along!

"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my halberd, and go with my son! ”

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with my son! ”

One after another, the loud and high-pitched singing roar burst out with the sound of the thick drums, and only half of Xinyang City was heard in an instant!

Many soldiers who had experienced a bloody battle and were a little numb, hearing this song and roar, a ripple gradually appeared in their hearts full of fear and confusion!

Some nimble-headed generals understood the intention of the great general Sima Tu in an instant, and immediately shouted, "The whole training is over!" Free & easy! ”

Under the leadership of many generals, the soldiers with confused expressions seemed to be attracted by this sound and paced along......

Gradually, in the center of Xinyang City, more and more soldiers surrounded it. In a few moments, Sima Tu and the War Drum Battalion were full of soldiers inside and out.

At this time, Sima Tu did not signal the war drum camp to stop, his eyes were blazing at the night sky, and his voice was high-pitched and loud!

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son! ”

"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my halberd, and go with my son! ”

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with my son! ”

Sima Tu mustered up his internal strength, and the singing voice contained a majestic grief and indignation, and unyielding fighting spirit!

This Qin Feng can be regarded as one of the essences left over from the Qin State that has been dead for 400 years, as long as it is a Qin person, this Qin Feng can be sung by heart since childhood. Although they sang fluently, they didn't understand the tragic mood in these four lines at all.

"Do you say you have no clothes? Fellow with the Son! ”

Zhuang Siping and several generals sang along with Sima Tu, tears flashing in their eyes!

Soon, the surrounding soldiers, driven by General Zhuang Siping, sang along one by one.

When many soldiers sang, they unconsciously left a trace of tears on their faces.

At this moment, they finally understood the artistic conception contained in this song and realized that it was not easy for their ancestors to start a business.

Thousands of soldiers sang in a high-pitched voice, condensing an unyielding faith, and the sound was like a mountain and a sea, soaring into the sky!

Suddenly, Qin Feng's battle song floated throughout Xinyang City!

Those soldiers standing on the top of the wall, who were resisting the cold wind, suddenly heard the singing sound from the city, and their bodies trembled.

Although they did not experience the bloody battle during the day, they watched the corpses of their former comrades transported to the city and burned one by one when they exchanged city defenses. At that moment, they also really felt what war is.

Coupled with the cold wind of the night, even if they had eaten a supper and drank hot soup, they felt cold after a short dip on the top of the city wall.

However, it is winter, and the army has prepared winter clothes for everyone to wear early when the armaments are distributed. Is the winter coat thin? No, it was the first time they felt cold during their vigil, and that cold came from their hearts, the instinct to resist war.

But at this time, this loud Qin wind blew into their hearts like a spring breeze, and the biting coldness in their hearts didn't seem to be so cold.

Military discipline clearly states that those on duty must be silenced and must not discuss privately!

The soldiers who were on duty all pursed their lips and did not follow, but the song reminded everyone of the family they were protecting, tears welled up in their eyes, and a strong sense of responsibility spread to their hearts!

Stirrup! Stirrup! Stirrup!

I don't know who started to start, the soldiers on the city wall all hit the ground with Qin spears, responding to this sad and unyielding Qin Feng!

Thirty miles away, in the camp of the Chen army.

Where Yuan Chen was sitting, after listening to the general who recorded the casualties say the casualties, he nodded unfazedly.

Seeing this, Sun Siping said dissatisfiedly, "General! What is your style of play today? More than 4,500 soldiers were lost in one day! More than 1,300 soldiers were seriously injured! If we continue to fight like this, if we want to defeat Xinyang City, I will have to fight for the 100,000 troops of Chen State! ”

Yuan Chen glanced at Sun Siping with a look of disdain, "What do you know?" The Qin State has just been established, and all the recruits under their hands are eggs, and today's fierce beating is enough to scare them into sleepless at night! ”

Sun Siping was furious when he heard this, how could he not understand such a simple truth that everyone knew, but today he was really annoyed to watch Yuan Chen take the lives of his comrades to attack the morale of the soldiers of the Qin State.

Even, it was he who asked Qin Jun to collect the corpse, during that time, he saw that among the corpses carried back, there were many familiar brothers under his command, and his heart was suddenly like a knife, and after finishing the back of those fellow brothers, he ran to the big tent to question Yuan Chen.

After watching Yuan Chen say his purpose lightly, Sun Siping turned around and walked out of the tent.

Sun Siping paced to the wounded area, and heard a scream, which was like an arrow that shot through Sun Siping's heart.

"Ah~"

"Brother! Hold on! ”

Sun Siping walked up quickly, an old military doctor was using a knife to cut off the arrow shot into the lower abdomen, blood continued to flow out of the lower abdomen, Sun Siping looked down at the wooden basin, and had already received half a basin of blood.

"Hold on, hold on a little longer! I'm going to pull it out! As he spoke, the old medic pulled out the arrow that had been cut off in one breath.

The soldier wailed, and the blood flowed profusely!

The old military doctor's face did not change, and he took a piece of medicine cloth that had been prepared long ago and pressed it.

"You two help him hold back his wounds!"

Two soldiers from the same army immediately came over and took the old military doctor's hand.

After the old military doctor got rid of his hands, he immediately went to treat the next wounded.

Twenty huge tents, more than 1,300 wounded, some of them stopped wailing and were pulled out for cremation.

Sun Siping walked out of the wounded barracks with a sluggish expression, looking at the night and sighing.

When he was young, Sun Siping's father experienced the battle of Chen Qin and died honorably. Sun Siping witnessed the whole process of Chen Guo's prosperity to decline, and secretly swore in his heart that he must win the ten cities of the pre-Qin Dynasty for Chen Guo.

His father was just a mere centurion with no budding shade. In the past 20 years, he has grown from a small military commander to the third person in the military under the current general Yuan Chen and the captain Shangguan Chengping.

However, he had no choice but to watch the huge Chen State decay little by little, in the face of the mediocrity of Chen Wang Chen Zheng, the incompetence of the general Yuan Chen, and the weakness of the Tai Lieutenant Shangguan Chengping......
