Under Duoduo's strict orders, Kong Youde was reluctant, so he had to order his subordinates to continue the siege.

It's just that this siege method is almost no different from suicide, with waves of Qing troops attacking and then dying in piles under the city, charred corpses everywhere, and the smell of human flesh roasted by fire.

In this situation, which can almost only be beaten, the morale of the Qing army besieging the city is passing rapidly, and they are not willing to continue to die.

Kong Youde had no choice but to intercede with Duoduo in person, hoping to suspend the siege.

"Lord, please forgive the slave for speaking bluntly. Our army set out in a hurry and did not carry large siege equipment. Now, it is difficult to resist the counterattack of the defenders of the city with these improvised ladder baffles. If this continues, it will only increase the number of casualties. Please also ask the prince to be gracious! After Kong Youde finished speaking, he knelt on one knee.

Duoduo was high on top of the cloud chariot, his eyes looking at the incomparably tall city fortress in the distance, without any expression on his face, as if he had not heard Kong Youde's words at all.

The sweat on Kong Youde's face kept dripping down, his lips were biting hard, and he said loudly: "The slave asked the prince to be gracious and ordered to suspend the siege!" ”

As if hearing his words, Duoduo turned his eyes to look at him, and said with a cold smile: "A bunch of waste, take it down." ”

Kong Youde held back the anger in his heart, thanked him and left quickly.

A wave of Qing attacks was repulsed, and there were another hundred and ten corpses under the city.

Less than an hour has passed since the beginning of the siege, and there are nearly a thousand corpses of the Qing army left under the city.

It's just a tentative attack, and the losses are so great. If they really attack with all their might, the defenders of the city will definitely be full of firepower, and they will suffer heavy losses at that time.

Kong Youde's white flag, the seven or eight thousand people, I'm afraid there won't be much left in the end.

Looking at the charred corpses under the city, some moans came from the corpses, which were the nostalgia of the seriously injured Qing soldiers before they died.

All this made the remaining Qing army with white flags even less fighting.

Advancing is death, and if you retreat, there are Manchurian soldiers waiting to cut off their heads, so these Han Eight Banners who are in a dilemma have begun to have a grudge against Kong Youde.

When Kong Youde hurried back, he looked at the rest of the soldiers, and his heart trembled, knowing that the attack just now had seriously dampened the morale of the army.

If you force it again, something will really happen.

"The prince has an order, stop the siege and retreat to rest." Kong Youde's words made the resentment in the eyes of those soldiers slowly dissipate. In a state of frustration and resentment, the crowd began to slowly retreat, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Watching the Qing soldiers retreat, Jiang Chuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the tall walls that he built specially received a good defensive effect. In addition, the various equipment and materials for defending the city configured by the system were sufficient, so that the first attack of the Qing army was repulsed.

Looking at the retreat of the Qing army under the city, a cheer suddenly sounded on the city.

Listening to the cheers on the city, the retreating Qing army felt even more depressed.

"Li Qian, go and count the casualties of our army." Jiang Chuan turned to the military commander behind him and asked.

Li Jian took the order and left, and after a while, he turned around and said: "Lord Hui, our army has lost ten people killed and thirty-five wounded, of which 15 are seriously wounded and 20 are lightly wounded. ”

Jiang Chuan nodded, this result is actually a very small price, compared to the Qing army's nearly 1,000 casualties, it is simply negligible.

Needless to say, these casualties were caused by the archers of the Qing army.

"Well, give the order to send the bodies of the fallen soldiers to the valley for proper placement, and ask the wounded soldiers to come to the military doctor for treatment." Egawa ordered.

Li Jian took the order and left.

Jiang Chuan's troops are now nearly 20,000 people, and military doctors are naturally indispensable.

Luckily, there are also medics to be recruited in the fort base. Therefore, Jiang Chuan recruited five military doctors from the base, and then selected thirty people from among the civilian women in the valley to help these five military doctors and let them do some basic nursing work.

The 35-man medical staff were organized into a military medical corps.

Jiang Chuan knew that after the Qing army's first attack was frustrated, it should not launch a second wave of attacks in a short time, so he ordered the soldiers to replenish the various materials that had been lost. For example, stones, arrows, oil cans, etc.

Some of the men were organized to deliver food and carry supplies to the soldiers in the city, as well as the bodies of the fallen soldiers.

Now, during the war, the organization of the common people and the selection and training of the reserve were all on paper, so they had to organize these people to do these things.

Guan Bao followed Bai Mu at this time with a group of guards from the pro-guard battalion to direct the people to put the supplies in place.

Yang Chuliu, the youngest guard, followed Jiang Chuan as a herald.

"Put these canisters here, put them lightly, if this thing breaks, it will cause trouble." Although Guan Bao is not very old, the command and dispatch of these people are well organized, busy but not chaotic.

"Leopard boy, you kid is really out of luck." Suddenly, a person shouted behind Guan Leopard.

As soon as Guan Bao turned around, he immediately smiled happily, because standing in front of him was none other than Guan Hu, the best hunter in their Guanjiatun.

"Brother Huzi, why are you here too? Are your injuries healed? Guan Bao smiled kindly and went up to greet Guan Hu.

In the past, Guan Hu was Guan Bao's role model in Tunzi, and the two were cousins.

The last time he joined the army, he became Lord Jiangchuan's personal guard, which made Guan Hu envious. But Guan Hu had injuries on his body, so he had to recuperate at home.

Both of them haven't seen each other for more than a month, so Guan Bao was very happy after meeting.

Guan Hu looked Guan Bao in military uniform up and down, and praised with envy: "My injury is almost healed, you see that I have no problem walking at all." It's you kid, it's really good now, this armor is wearing energy, spirit! ”

Guan Bao smiled and said, "If Brother Huzi, you are majestic when you wear this body." You have the ability, you shoot arrows so accurately, you run so fast, and you have killed Tartars, if you want to be a soldier, I will take you to talk to Lord Jiang. Adults are very talkative, and they will definitely agree. ”

Guan Hu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "I have to tell your sister-in-law about this." If Master Jiang hadn't saved me last time, I would have died at the hands of the Tartars. Your sister-in-law has been worried about me ever since, and she never wanted me to join the army. But old men, you can't let women take the idea. In two days, I will report to Master Jiang. ”

Guan Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, took Guan Hu's hand and said happily: "That's great, then we can be soldiers in one battalion, and you can also come to guard the camp, and our brothers can meet every day." ”

Guan Hu shook his head and said, "I want to be a cavalryman." Last time, if I hadn't had a horse, I wouldn't have been hurt by those tartars. ”

Guan Bao was a little disappointed, but soon became happy: "That's, Brother Huzi, how powerful you are, when the time comes, you will become a cavalryman and give those Tartars some color to see." Have you just looked down into the city, and the dead Tartar corpses down there were piled up so high that there were more than a thousand dead people. I just took one look and almost fainted. ”

"Guan Leopard" Bai Mu saw it over there and reminded him sternly.

Naturally, he also knew Guan Hu, so he didn't say much.

Guan Bao's neck shrank, knowing that Bai Mu was very serious on weekdays, and it was already a blessing that he didn't punish himself in public today, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly said to Guan Hu, and turned to the side to get busy.

Guan Hu was helping to carry things, and at the same time carefully observing the soldiers stationed on the city wall, as well as all kinds of city defense equipment, all of which made him feel shocked.

He didn't expect that the Lord Jiang who saved him at the beginning would have such great ability, transforming an original horse thief's nest into a high-walled fortress, and also making the head of the Tartar hit here bleed.

And I heard that Lord Jiang also led troops to break through Liaoyang City last time and captured a Tartar princess, these things, coupled with Jiang Chuan's rescue of him, made Guan Hu grateful to Jiang Chuan in his heart, and now he has a feeling of worship.

In fact, he was only a young man under the age of twenty. Although he has become a husband and a father, the enthusiasm for worshipping heroes and yearning for the battlefield in the bones of the hot-blooded man is still high.

Moreover, his wife still died at the hands of the Tartars, so from that day on, he made a grand vow to sweep away the Tartars and avenge the old lady.

He knew he couldn't do it on his own. Jiang Chuan's oath in Guanjiatun that day convinced him that only by following this young general could he truly sweep away all the Tartars.

Therefore, these days, he is always looking forward to the early recovery of his arrow wounds, so that he can kill the Tartars under the command of Master Jiang.

While working, while thinking about this, Guan Hu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that he was full of strength all over his body, and he couldn't wait to put on that armor immediately, pick up his knife and bow and work with the tartar.

On the other side, Jiang Chuan took Yang Chuliu and a few guards to patrol around the city wall.

Under Li Qian's arrangement, the bodies of all the fallen soldiers have also been sent down to the city and placed in a safe place in the valley.

The wounded soldiers were placed in the tower, and several military doctors and their female nurses were treating their wounds.

Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the city and shouted, "My lord, there is a situation in the city. ”

Jiang Chuan looked back at the city and saw a group of Qing soldiers slowly coming towards the city. At first glance, they were not carrying any weapons, and they were carrying some stretchers and carts behind them.

Jiang Chuan looked at it carefully for a while and said, "This should be the corpse collection team of the Tartars, don't attack, keep a close watch." ”

The group of Qing soldiers trembled and walked to the range of arrows in the city and stopped, and found that the city had no intention of shooting arrows at them, so they continued to walk forward tremblingly.

"Collect the body as soon as possible, if there is any misdeeds, you will definitely not come back." Li Jian in the city shouted at the Qing soldiers under the city under Jiang Chuan's instructions.

Only then did the Qing soldiers have the courage to begin to collect the bodies of the dead Qing soldiers, and drag them back one by one. Many corpses were glued together because of the barbecue, and they couldn't be separated at all, and the pungent smell of burnt meat made many Qing soldiers want to retch.

These hapless soldiers vomited while cursing Duoduo and Kong Youde in their hearts.

Damn, it's all a bunch of liars, what about the bandits and horse thieves who said they were good? This is fucking more official than the army.
