Chapter Ninety-Two: Childe

Although the battle in the city has basically fallen, the fighting has continued until the night.

In a few hours, the Chu army that entered the city searched almost door to door.

But anyone who has a blade, whether it is a man, a woman, or a child, is treated as a Qi army.

Perhaps, this is a bit cruel, but this is war.

If you want to protect yourself and your subordinates, you must show no mercy to your enemies.

In this attack, all the losses were basically under control.

Even in the most tragic siege battle, the 40,000 Chu army only lost more than 3,000 people before and after.

However, in a battle outside the city, the Qi army that suddenly killed 4,000 not only disabled the 3,000 rear army, but also reduced the Changxiu army by half.

Even after occupying Lu County, Xia Huan's face was still cold.

"Your Highness, the enemy forces in the city have been basically cleared. Lu County has been completely in our hands. ”

At night, as the real commander of the Chu army, Zhou Yu was obviously a little tired.

However, there is also a trace of apprehension between this exhaustion.

If it weren't for the battle outside the city, I'm afraid, this time his credit would be unprecedented.

However, the battle outside the city almost disabled Xia Huan's pro-army Chang Xiujun, and almost killed Xia Huan.

In this regard, as the main general, he obviously has an unshirkable responsibility.

If Xia Huan is unhappy, then it is completely possible to erase all his credits in one sentence.

"Got it." Xia Huan nodded, and his voice was a little gloomy.

However, although Chang Xiujun's loss made Xia Huan's heart ache greatly, it did not make him angry with Zhou Yu.

It can only be said that in the face of the victory in hand, both Zhou Yu and him are a little taken lightly.

Who would have thought that there were people who would use such an important Lu County as bait.

If it weren't for Xia Huan's tempering of Chang Xiujun in those two months, I'm afraid he would have had to flee in the wilderness at that time.

And the result of fleeing in the wilderness is naturally that Xia Huan lost his military heart.

Although the pro-army is used to protect the commander-in-chief, it is absolutely impossible for a pro-army commander to abandon the pro-army to die for him.

"Recruit men as soon as possible, and repair the gates and walls. In addition, we must immediately count the grain in the city, and we will transport the grain back to Wei as much as possible within these two days. ”

Xia Huan, who calmed down a little, instructed Zhou Yu one by one.

"Whoa!"

Zhou Yu arched his hand, and he was also relieved in his heart.

After Zhou Yu confirmed Xia Huan's attitude, he quickly left again.

Everything in the city, big and small, needs to be arranged by him. Moreover, occupying Lu County is not their goal, how to transport the grain back is the key.

Moreover, the Qi State must still have a large number of Qi soldiers in Wushu.

After learning that Lu County was occupied, it would not be long before the road back to them would be blocked.

Therefore, it is necessary to repair for one day at most, and on the third day, it is necessary to send manpower. All of this requires careful arrangement. I'm afraid that tonight will be another sleepless night for Zhou Yu.

Not long after Zhou Yu left, Wang Yan and Yu Meng walked in again.

At this moment, in the entire house, apart from these two people, there are only Xia Huan and Chen Zhaoming.

The four of them came out of Yingshang together, and along the way, they stumbled, and their feelings have long been not only monarchs and ministers, but also comparable to close friends.

Of Yu Meng's more than 30 old brothers, less than half of them died.

Yingshang ate and lived together, and trained hard together for more than two months, but only half of it was left.

In just one day, the familiar face turned into a cold corpse.

For the four people who actually went to the battlefield for the first time, it was still a little difficult to accept.

"Is everything arranged in the army?"

After a period of silence, Xia Huan, who was the backbone, still spoke.

"Hmm." Wang Yan, who has always had a straightforward personality, responded a little dullly at this time.

In today's battle, he watched the robes that were a few years younger than himself fall one by one.

Yu Meng can be regarded as a family from the army, even if he has never been on the battlefield, but he already has a certain sense of the battlefield.

However, from birth to the present, Wang Yan is an authentic craftsman.

No matter how loud the voice of serving the monarch is, it is difficult to hide the sudden parting.

"What about the brothers who died in battle?"

"As His Highness commanded, their hair was cut off and put in clay pots."

This time, more than 800 Changxiu sergeants were killed in the battle, and more than 200 were seriously wounded.

Although the medical skills of this era have improved a lot compared to the Chu and Han dynasties in parallel time and space, those ubiquitous microorganisms are still the biggest enemies of wounded soldiers.

Of the more than 200 seriously injured soldiers, one-third of them survived, even if they were disabled, which was a great luck.

It was obviously impossible to bring back more than 800 corpses with them.

Even, Xia Huan didn't have the ability to erect a grave for them one by one.

The hair and skin of the body, the parents of the recipient. In this era of advocating burial, cremation is obviously unrealistic.

The only thing Xia Huan could do was to bring back a strand of their hair. It's always better than a mound of clothes made up of a few clothes.

After a few more simple commands, the whole room suddenly fell into silence again.

"If there's nothing going on, go back and rest as soon as possible. Tomorrow and tomorrow, don't drag your body down. Xia Huan said a little tiredly.

"......"

"......"

Yu Meng and Chen Zhaoming arched their hands, turned around and were about to leave.

But Wang Yan still stood where he was, and he didn't want to leave.

"Brother Yan, what's wrong." Perhaps knowing Wang Yan's feelings in his heart, Xia Huan did not call him a thousand generals, but used a more easy-going title.

"Your Highness......" Wang Yan's voice was a little hoarse, obviously suppressing something.

"Say, there's no outsider here." Xia Huan continued to sigh with relief.

"I hear you!"

"Huh?" Not only Xia Huan, but even Yu Meng and Chen Zhaoming didn't quite understand what Wang Yan was talking about.

"I heard what kind of boy was shouting in his mouth when this group of soldiers was fighting to the death......"

"Childe?" Chen Zhaoming and Yu Meng frowned at the same time.

And Xia Huan was also silent for a moment, and then motioned to Wang Yan with his eyes to continue.

"Shhh

Wang Yan didn't say a word, and directly tore the clothes on his chest, revealing blood-stained linen.

"Your Highness, when I was under command, a Qi man rushed in front of me and slashed me in the chest with a sword. When I plunged the sword into his heart, he was still frantically shouting something like 'Childe will avenge us'......"

"Childe......" Xia Huan gently recalled two sentences in his mouth.

Decades have passed, and the title of Gongzi is no longer the exclusive title after the emperor. However, the "son" who can make these 4,000 people work so hard must also have a lot of background and power.

"Yu Meng, are the bodies of those 4,000 people buried?"

"Not yet!"

"Go and get the captain's head!"

"Whoa!"
