Chapter 369: Glory and Pride

When Su Can said this, fortunately, the iron tower was no longer around, otherwise according to the temper of these two people, they would have to fight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Facing Su Can's answer, Ye Shaolong directly threw Su Can with a roll of his eyes, didn't need to say anything, just turned around and left.

Once a person is shameless, what reason can you tell him? As an old-timer in the rivers and lakes, Su Can can take advantage of the iron tower with confidence.

Afterwards, he was complacent and showed off to himself, which can be said to be shameless to the extreme. Fortunately, both of them are members of their own families, and there is no situation of grabbing credit.

If this was a previous position in the imperial court, Su Can did this to clearly take credit for grabbing the iron tower, then the matter is not so simple.

Leaving the shameless Su Can, Ye Shaolong went to visit the iron tower, for fear that there would be some shadow in his heart, which would lead to any estrangement between the two in the future, such an ending was not what Ye Shaolong wanted to see.

The iron tower is helping to treat the injured of the Yejiabao soldiers at the moment, and after some investigation, the final result is still quite large. Because he was attacked at the beginning, he was directly killed more than 20 people in an unguarded situation.

Although only a dozen people died in the aftermath of the head-on clashes, nearly a hundred people were injured. This is still under the condition that Yejiabao has an advantage, and there are very few casualties.

In the face of such a result, Tieta has realized that the Japanese are indeed brave, and this death-defying counterattack has caused a lot of casualties to the Yejiabao soldiers, and they cannot be underestimated at all.

As soon as Ye Shaolong approached, he saw Tie Ta's calm face and a sullen look, and subconsciously united it with Su Can's shameless behavior just now.

After thinking about it, Ye Shaolong said in a joking tone: "What's the matter, are you still angry about what Brother Su did?" Don't think too much about it, for the sake of his age, don't worry about it. ”

The iron tower was red-eyed at the moment, and the eight-foot iron man rarely had tears in his eyes, shaking his head and saying with a sad face: "Dashuai, I am not for this, but for the sacrifice of our Yejiabao soldiers...... ”

As he spoke, the tower stretched out his hand and pointed to the nearly 100 corpses neatly placed in front of him, which were the soldiers who died in this battle.

Ye Shaolong looked at it, nearly a hundred corpses were lying quietly like this, some of them he felt familiar, and a few of them he remembered their names.

Since Yejiabao was built for more than a year, there have been several battles, large and small, and there are not a few casualties among the soldiers in Yejiabao. However, this time it can be said that the death toll is the highest!

Ye Shaolong showed a faint sadness on his face, but it was quickly hidden, replaced by a face full of perseverance. He suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the iron tower, and said firmly: "They are the heroes of Yejiabao and the model of our Yejiabao army, the prosperity of Yejiabao is what they exchanged for their blood and lives, and they are the most respectable good men!" ”

The soldiers standing guard, as well as more than a dozen guards who were following Ye Shaolong's side at the moment, including the iron tower. After listening to Ye Shaolong's sonorous words, everyone was moved.

No one thought that these brothers who died in battle would actually have such a tall image in Ye Shaolong's heart. Heroes, role models, good men, although the words are simple, they hit the hearts of everyone present.

It is not terrible to go to the battlefield, and it is not terrible to sacrifice, what is terrible is that like in the Qing court before, after being a soldier and sacrificing for the country, he was abandoned and ignored.

The tower immediately stopped the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, nodded firmly to Ye Shaolong, and suddenly shouted loudly: "They are heroes!" ”

"They're heroes!" Infected by the tower, everyone present followed the tower's voice and shouted in unison.

The sound was neat and loud, gradually wafting in the quiet night, and more and more people were rendered and joined in. Until the end, the whole Baoding City was filled with a strong and magnificent roar.

"They're heroes......."

"Hero ......."

Ye Shaolong didn't expect that his unintentional words would provoke such a big reaction from the Ye Jiabao army. At this moment, the Yejiabao soldiers no longer have grief, they are only full of pride and glory.

The tower ordered people to bring nearly 100 coffins in the city, carefully packed the bodies of the martyrs, and placed them neatly under the city tower.

And those who were injured were also carried away by the soldiers and cared for by them. Except for the dead, they are now the most glorious. One by one, they have become heroes of the soldiers, and when they are injured, they no longer feel unlucky, but proud.

Clean up the battlefield, and the sky will be bright at this time. From arriving in Baoding City to breaking the city and then to completely destroying the Japanese in the city, the Yejiabao army only took a whole day.

More than 200 people were killed and wounded, 1,000 or hundreds of Japanese were annihilated, and hundreds of people were captured.

Ye Shaolong ordered the whole army to recuperate in Baoding City for a day, and then set off for Yejiabao tomorrow. Then he summoned several generals in the army to gather in the attic on the south gate to discuss what to do with Baoding City.

Baoding City is not better than the capital, the capital symbolizes the imperial power, and whoever occupies it will inevitably find suspicion from other forces. At the same time, due to the severe drought, it is impossible to grow food, and all materials need to be transported from outside.

No force dares to set foot in the capital easily before it has the strength to stand out from the crowd. If you are not sure that you will be able to hold the capital, whoever goes will inevitably be attacked by other forces, and no one will do thankless things.

This is also the reason why Jingshi has now become an empty city, and even foreigners have given up. At present, there is really no one in the Qing Dynasty who can argue with foreigners alone!

Ye Shaolong looked around at the few people present, and then spoke: "I called everyone here at this time to discuss how to settle Baoding City and the people in the city. Should we just withdraw our troops and leave, or should we stay behind? Let's all share our opinions! ”

Su Can, Tie Tower, and Li Chengke were silent, they had always obeyed Ye Shaolong's command in major decisions. Whether to withdraw or stay, no matter how they choose, they don't feel that it matters.

The position of the three of them has always been very clear, that is, they only care about the war, and as for political affairs, they don't understand and don't want to participate, so they won't make any remarks.

However, the little emperor had a hesitant look on his face, as if he had something to say but felt embarrassed to say it. He was in a hurry, and the two generals beside him were also in a hurry.

Ye Shaolong glanced at the little emperor, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The emperor has something to say, please say it, everyone here is your own people, you don't need to be polite." ”

"Ahem!"

The little emperor didn't expect Ye Shaolong to be so straightforward, and coughed lightly twice to hide his anxiety just now, and then he said: "I think this Baoding City can't be left alone!" ”
