Chapter 295: The Final Battle

"Marshal, after dinner, the camp has almost settled down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info And in today's battle, the specific casualty figures have also been counted, and all the wounded have been treated and arranged. But...... The establishment of many troops has been completely broken up by the black-clothed thieves, and in order for them to continue to exert their combat effectiveness, it is necessary to reorganize the team. ā€

Late at night, in the big tent of the Chinese army that answered Badulu, Song Yanjie took a document that had just been counted, and couldn't help bending over to the lonely and haggard Badulu who was sitting on the main seat, and said so.

Hearing Song Yanjie's words, the haggard and somewhat old-fashioned Badulu couldn't help but sigh, and after signaling the guards next to him to take the documents in Song Yanjie's hand, he couldn't help waving his hand and said, "Thank you sir, please sit down." Saying this, Badulu couldn't help but take the document from the hands of the guards.

Looking at the heavy numbers on the paperwork, Badulu couldn't help but take a deep breath and closed his eyes in pain.

"Five thousand people, in just one day, our army has suffered nearly five thousand casualties." Saying this, Badulu couldn't help but bury his face in his hands in pain.

"Sir, do you think there is any hope for us?" After being silent for a long time, Badulu couldn't help but say so.

And hearing the words of the answer to the loss of Badulu, Song Yanjie couldn't help but stand up from his seat suddenly, looked at the answer to the loss of Badulu with a firm gaze and said: "Marshal, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion." We have blocked one of the fiercest attacks of the black-clothed thieves today, and after that, it is certainly impossible for the black-clothed thieves to maintain their power today. ā€

"So as long as we are firm in our hearts and rely on our superiority in strength and the defensive offensive of our camps, we will definitely be able to achieve the final victory."

"Firm heart, superiority in troops. Yes, Sir is right, we still have the advantage of troops, we still have the fortifications of the camp to rely on, we will definitely be able to achieve the final victory! Badulu shouted this, and his tone seemed full of confidence, but from the look of his eyes, his eyes were far less firm than his tone.

……

"We must take good care of the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks, and if the medicinal materials are insufficient, report them to me as soon as possible, and we must not let these wounded soldiers lose their lives in vain because of this small injury. Do you understand? Late at night, when Zhang Shihua finished his inspection in the wounded barracks.

His mood became depressed and heavy, and he couldn't help but say this to Xu Gan, the chief medical officer in charge of the wounded barracks.

Hearing Zhang Shihua's instructions, Xu Gan nodded, and then couldn't help but clench his fists and replied: "Don't worry, General, before the war, we have prepared a sufficient amount of thistle, notoginseng, and big green root to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation. So the herbs are sufficient. And because the general had taught some simple first aid methods and common sense of treatment to the officers and men in the army, there were enough manpower. ā€

"Except for a very small number of soldiers who were seriously wounded, the rest of the soldiers who suffered skin wounds such as arrow wounds or knife wounds will definitely be fine."

"Yes, that's good. These people are all treasures in the army, as long as they are okay, Mr. Xu, you can be regarded as a great achievement. ā€

The general was serious. The subordinates are medical officers, not to mention, and most of the rules and regulations in the wounded barracks are formulated by the general, and the subordinates are just doing their part to take care of the wounded at this time, and they really dare not take credit. Saying that, Xu Gan couldn't help but hug his fist again at Zhang Shihua.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua nodded silently, and then couldn't help but leave the wounded barracks in Xu Ganbai.

……

"General, it's not early, you better rest early, won't there be a war tomorrow?" More than an hour had passed, and the time had come to an hour. I saw that Zhang Shihua was still there in charge of the lamp and dealt with all kinds of affairs in the army.

As the commander of the guard, Li Wu, after lightly putting on Zhang Shihua's cloak, couldn't help but persuade Zhang Shihua with a caring face.

And for this, after Zhang Shihua nodded, he couldn't help but say: "Well, rest." Ah Wu, you've worked hard these days, so go down and rest. I'll rest after a while. ā€

Saying this, Zhang Shihua picked up the lamp, and after making the lamp brighter, he couldn't help but continue to deal with the integration and establishment of the wounded in the army, the compensation of the fallen soldiers, the consumption of arrows and grain and grass in the army, and some 100-man or 1,000-man teams with considerable losses. ’

Seeing Zhang Shihua like this, Li Wu, who was guarding the side, couldn't help but silently remove Zhang Shihua's cup of tea that had been cooled, and replaced Zhang Shihua with a cup of mild and refreshing strong tea.

"Ah Wu, you said this battle, can we win it?" Unconsciously, another quarter of an hour had passed, and Zhang Shihua, who had almost handled all kinds of military affairs, took a sip of the mild strong tea that had been silently changed several times by Li Wu, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked Li Wu like this.

"With the general here, you can naturally win." Hearing Zhang Shihua's question, Li Wu didn't think about it, so he said like this.

"Hehe, Ah Wu, do you know that the casualties of our army in the first battle today alone reached 2,130 people, of which 1,320 were killed directly in battle. Although such losses have not happened before, today's battle is not the most tragic battle we have fought. ā€

"But every time I see the bloody numbers written on the paperwork, I still can't help but feel heartache...... Guilty. People say that 'mercy is not in charge of soldiers' and that 'victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers', but I still feel that I can't stand them. ā€

"In the past, I felt that the generous military salaries I gave to the soldiers, and the generous rewards and pensions I gave to the soldiers were already considered 'benevolence'. But I know that today, when I saw those Tartar Han soldiers, fighting for their lives in order to 'promote their officials to a higher level' and get rid of their status as inferior people, I realized how self-deceptive I was in the past. ā€

"That's right, the salaries, rewards, and pensions of the soldiers in our black-clothed army are indeed more generous, but apart from these insignificant foreign things, what do they have." Saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Li Wu glanced at Zhang Shihua, but couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Please forgive the general's disrespectful sin." ā€

"Hehe, Ah Wu, although you are my general, you are really my siblings, what else can't be said between you and me. Since you have something to say, say it straightforwardly. ā€

"Yes. The last general felt that what the general said was actually wrong. It is precisely because of your benevolence, General, that you feel heartache because of the casualties of the soldiers, and you will give the soldiers such military salaries, rewards, and pensions. ā€

"But you don't need to feel guilty about it, General. Not to mention that the casualties of the two armies are inevitable, but in this troubled world, if it were not for you, the general, they might have already become a dry skeleton in the grave. ā€

"And the Shogun is wrong, that is, in addition to the things that you have given us, the General, we still have something extremely precious."

"Oh! What is that? Zhang Shihua raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked.

Hearing such a question, Li Wu hugged his fists at Zhang Shihua, and couldn't help but say: "If you go back to the general, it should be the unwillingness that everyone is buried deep in their hearts." ā€

"Unwilling?"

"Yes, unwillingly? Just like you said, General, no one wants to be a slave for a lifetime, let alone let their children and grandchildren follow him as a slave for a lifetime. Therefore, we people followed the general, and you started the army, except for the general, you treat us like brothers, it is because we all believe that you, the general, can realize the unwillingness buried deep in our hearts. ā€

At this time, Li Wu had unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes became extremely sharp.

"We believe in you, General, that you will be able to lead all of us to the great cause of expelling the Tartars, that you can make our children and grandchildren no longer be enslaved by aliens, and that you can lead all of us to build a great cause." Saying this, Li Wu couldn't help but look at Zhang Shihua with fiery eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua stared at Li Wu's eyes, but he couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, good! Good! Good! With Ah Wu's words, this battle must be won! Saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but look at the camp of officers and soldiers shrouded in night not far away.

……

The sound of the calm fighting sounded all night, and early the next morning, after breakfast, thousands of black-clothed soldiers couldn't help but form a formation under the command of Zhang Shihua, and with artillery equipment, they once again went to kill the officers and soldiers not far away.

In the face of the overall attack of the black-clothed army outside the camp, the officers and soldiers who had already been mentally prepared could not help but climb the arrow tower and camp wall built in the camp as soon as possible under the shouts of their respective generals, and the sword was unsheathed and the bow was wound ready to defend against the enemy.

"Hey, Tartars in the camp, listen up. In this battle, you have no chance of winning, and my general's rebel army is not willing to kill more, so as long as you are willing to surrender, my general's will definitely save your life. ā€

"So you have to think about it, don't wait until our soldiers and horses break through your camp, and then regret it when all your heads are on the ground. By then, it's all night! Before the start of the battle, a black-clothed general with a loud voice shouted at the officers and soldiers guarding the camp with such a loud voice.

And for such a meaningless roar, Badulu, who was already determined to go all the way to the end, naturally ignored it. It was just a burst of arrows that scared the shouting general back.

"Come on, pass on my military order, fire the cannon and throw stones!" Seeing that the officers and soldiers guarding the camp had no idea of surrendering, Zhang Shihua, who had already been mentally prepared, roared angrily. He couldn't help but let his soldiers push out the artillery and trebuchet, and without saying anything, they launched an attack on the wall of the officer and soldier camp and the arrow tower not far away.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Outside the camp of officers and soldiers, the roar of artillery and trebuchets shook the sky, and under such a long-range attack, they lost the means of counterattack, so they had to order to hide behind the camp wall.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The sound of artillery stones outside the camp was earth-shattering. The unstoppable cannon stones fell from the sky with earth-shattering power. And under such a terrible power, the officers and soldiers who had to dodge like rats could imagine panic and anxiety in their hearts.

However, at this time, the passively beaten Badulu could no longer care about the thoughts of the corporals, because under the non-stop attack of the artillery stones outside the camp, the camp wall, which was mainly made of wood, had been beaten everywhere.

"Damn it, what about the craftsman, where has the craftsman gone! Let them come here, let them find a way to fix the camp wall for me and plug the gap! It was only half an hour, and when he saw that his camp wall was about to be smashed into a sieve, he couldn't help but roar angrily.

Hearing his roar, the guards beside him couldn't help but drive a team of craftsmen and soldiers, carrying all kinds of temporary earthen bags, laboriously repairing the gaps everywhere and simply.

However, this kind of repair is obviously useless, because under the blow of endless cannon stones, their repair speed cannot keep up with the destruction speed of the black army.

"Whoosh!!" The sound of a cannonball rubbing against the air came, and a group of officers and soldiers who were hiding on the camp wall looked up, but they couldn't help but find a cannonball like a meteor smashing towards them.

"Run, run!" Seeing this scene, the group of officers and soldiers on the camp wall couldn't help but scream and run in all directions.

But compared to the lightning-fast shells, they were still too slow. With the power of iron cannonballs, their bodies were easily smashed into a pile of minced meat.

"Ahh Labor and management don't want to die like this, labor and management will fight with you! Seeing this scene with their own eyes, some nerve-fragile officers and soldiers couldn't help but go completely crazy. I saw them waving all kinds of weapons in their hands, and jumped off the high camp wall like madmen, trying to fight the enemy desperately.

And the result of such an act is naturally a meaningless death.

"Look, General. Almost, they won't be able to do any damage if they are bombarded, and now is the time when their nerves are at their most vulnerable, so please give the order to attack. Seeing that the enemy was forced into such a way by artillery, Zhang Mingtong grinned, and couldn't help but say so.

Hearing his words, Zhang Shihua saw that the enemy camp was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but nod and said: "Pass my military order, and the whole army will attack!" ā€

"The general has an order, the whole army is attacking!"

"The general has an order, the whole army is attacking!" A herald roared.

Then, the deafening sound of war drums could not help but sound. Immediately afterwards, thousands of black-clothed sergeants and soldiers couldn't help but roar angrily and slaughtered at the officer and soldier barracks.
