Chapter 173: The Shadow in the City

Continuing to send troops to keep an eye on Jinyang City, Liu Yuan led the unsuccessful army to retreat to the camp.

"Tan Zhe, have you counted it, how much has the beggar army lost?" Liu Yuan stepped down from the golden knife and turned his head to ask.

"Your Majesty, there are 1,200 dead, more than 200 seriously injured, and countless minor injuries. Begging for the infantry army, in this battle, the combat power has lost nearly forty percent! Tan Zhe's face is not too good-looking.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan's eyes flashed slightly: "I never thought that this Yuan Jun of Jinyang would be so resilient." "I really underestimate Chun Yuqiong, this incompetent person in his 'impression'!

Bald Gui came down, with a lot of white cloth bandaged wounds on his body, and when he heard this, he got up and said: "King, the defenders are not small in casualties, and they will definitely not be able to withstand our next onslaught!" If it hadn't been for the reinforcements he had, the city would have been broken today. The last general asks for orders, and if he attacks again tomorrow, he will break Jinyang! ”

Looking at Bald Guilai, he was still very satisfied with his bravery, and waved his hand to comfort: "Don't be impatient, your martial arts are brave, and you know it." Today's strong attack, the defense ability of Jinyang, Lone also has a bottom. Order the soldiers to rest first and fight again in the coming day! ”

"No!"

For today's battle, although the city was not broken, Liu Yuan did not have much regret in his heart. After the first battle, the beggar army suffered heavy casualties, but those who survived, with a little training, are the real tiger and wolf division. And at the end of the siege, this group of slave soldiers was obviously not as chaotic as the first siege.

For Jinyang, Liu Yuan didn't plan to attack again. Fortresses, or easier to break down from the inside. The shadow son in Jinyang City should be used, Liu Yuan thought darkly.

"Boom!"

"In!"

"Accompany Gu to the wounded barracks!" Liu Yuan's voice floated out.

The wounded barracks in Dazhai can only be described as mourning all over the wilderness, and after walking all the way, the unpleasant smell of blood and herbs came to his face, and Liu Yuan couldn't help but cover his nose.

The wounded barracks was divided into two huge tents, where hundreds of lightly and seriously wounded soldiers were concentrated. Stepping into one of the tents, more than a dozen military medical workers were busy rescuing, and the wounded soldiers let out a low howl of pain from time to time.

Seeing Liu Yuan enter the account, everyone put down the work in their hands and knelt down to greet them. A group of lightly injured beggar sergeants were the same, kowtowing to Liu Yuan, muttering something in their mouths. Seeing this, Liu Yuan asked Tan Zhe, "Do you know what they are talking about?" ”

"Back to the king, they are coming to see you as a god!" Tan Zhe greeted Liu Yuan's curious gaze and said.

"Oh?" Liu Yuan obviously showed a smile in his eyes, walked a few steps, and instructed a group of medical workers waiting: "You continue!" ”

In a place of more than 50 zhang on the side of the wounded and sick camp, there was a small forest, and when he passed by, Liu Yuan found that there was a faint figure of Sergeant Xia busy. "Check it out!" Liu Yuan was interested.

Under the escort of the guards, Liu Yuan walked into the woods, and a number of Xia soldiers were digging a pit, three zhang square. Seeing Liu Yuan coming, they were all taken aback: "Meet the king!" ”

Pointing to the pit, he asked, "What are you digging this hole for?" ”

The tun chief came out and said: "The king, Lord Suli ordered the villains to dig it up in order to ...... In order to bury the seriously wounded soldiers! ”

Liu Yuan frowned when he heard this: "Summoning Su Li to Gugu!" ”

"Su Li, you explain to Lone!" After a while, Su Li rushed in, and Liu Yuan stared into his eyes and asked.

Glancing at the formed earthen pit, Su Li turned his head and bent down slightly and replied: "King, there are not many medicinal herbs in our army, so we should give priority to rescuing the lightly wounded." Those who are seriously wounded, except for the officers, the rescue of the disciples costs the help of herbs and medical workers, and the rescue of lives is not very likely. For example, if a person is mutilated and has amputated limbs, if he survives, it will not help much in the war, but will easily become a drag. Therefore, the minister made this plan and was about to report to the king! ”

Liu Yuan stopped talking when he heard this, and looked at Su Li again, this person is ruthless enough, let him be a begging officer, but he still uses the right person.

After thinking for a while, as if sighing, Liu Yuan patted Su Li on the shoulder, and ordered lightly: "If you can save it, try to save it, if you are really injured, understand it as soon as possible, so as not to continue to bear the pain!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yuan turned around and left. And Su Li arched his hand: "No! ”

"Your Excellency!" After Liu Yuan walked away, the tun chief came up and called Su Li in a low voice.

Su Li's eyes were grim, and he skimmed and ordered: "Quietly carry the seriously wounded soldiers in batches, move quickly, be careful!" ”

More than half an hour later, nearly 200 seriously wounded beggar sergeants were carried to the front of the pit, and many more were dragged over. The seriously injured were left untreated, and after tossing and turning, many of them had already died. There were still some places in a coma, and only a few people were still conscious, and when they saw the pit, they also understood Su Li's plan.

There was a weak struggle, and some sounds came out of his mouth, and he looked extremely weak. Seeing this, Su Li silently thought in his heart: "Don't blame me. He was a slave and had lost his use value, so why should he stay in this world and suffer. I'm here to help you get free! ”

Then he coldly ordered: "Make up for it, help them get free, and then bury it!" ”

"My lord, if I am seriously injured, will this be the end?"

"They are slaves, you are the elite of my Xia Kingdom, can you be the same?"

"Subordinates understood!"

Seeing that Tun Chang'an was at ease, Su Li's eyes were a little fluttering.

……

As the sky grew dark, after a hundred days of fierce fighting, the Yuan army guards on Jinyang City were exhausted and shrank on the city wall to rest. The corpses have been emptied, and the vast amount of blood left behind speaks of the brutality of the battle. Except for the occasional sound of the soldiers passing by, the entire Jinyang City seemed to be extremely quiet.

In a hidden mansion, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and some Jinyang businessmen conspired here. Among them, there are several people with strong Hu people, who are Xia people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the King of Xia has come to the city, and the siege of the city today has failed, and the King of Xia has ordered us to gather private soldiers, thinking that it should be an internal response, and welcome the army of the King of Xia into the city! Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections? Su Shuang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked seriously.

"This ...... Not good! As soon as Su Shuang's voice fell, a Han businessman said that he seemed to want to object.

Zhang Shiping stared at him from the side: "Ladies and gentlemen, Yuan Shao looted wealth in Jinyang as military funds a while ago, and our businessmen suffered heavy losses. There is also that Chun Yu Qiong, who is abnormal, and has repeatedly bullied us. Now that King Xia is here, I am waiting for the opportunity to turn over, do I have to hesitate? ”

As soon as the words fell, several people in the house were moved, the previous Yuan Shao's wanton plunder, which could make them suffer heavy losses, naturally had a heart of revenge. At this moment, one of the Xia people suddenly got up and walked in front of the Han merchant who was opposing in front of him, pulled out the dagger in his sleeve and stabbed him in the neck, and with a splash of blood, he lost his life.

"Who else has objections?" His voice was cold.

The rest of the people were frightened, looking at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, who were in charge, and saw that both of them were indifferently tasting tea on the seat. Seeing a figure flickering outside the house, I immediately understood that if I didn't support it today, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go out.

"Listen to the arrangement of the two and welcome the King of Xia into the city!" Immediately, someone spoke out in support, and then everyone in the room unified their voices.

"Good, I waited for the blood alliance and signed this oath! Gather the Hakka Ding, wait for the news of the Xia King, and welcome the Xia army into the city! Su Shuang got up, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and asked everyone to sign it. It's all up to this, and everyone can only follow helplessly.

When people dispersed, Su Shuang suddenly said to one person: "Brother Wang, please stay?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Jian was stunned, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" I want to go back and prepare! ”

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the stakes are high, and everything is about being careful. Before the Xia army enters the city, please stay here! Su Shuang smiled and said to Wang.

Most of the businessmen here are from poor families, but only this Wang Jian, a person from the Wang family, even if he is a concubine, he is also a member of a family. In the Jinyang family, there are many people who support Yuan Shao, and he and Zhang Shiping are not at ease with Wang Jian.
