Chapter 106: Lingering
In the early morning of the 23rd, three or four hours had passed since the sandstorm. The attacking gale-force army was like a sandstorm, coming and retreating like a tide. Kasangla's soldiers were able to breathe.
The twenty-day siege of the city made the Gale Empire suffer a lot in the heavenly danger of Kasangla. This towering fortress is like a meat grinder that never tires, killing countless lives. The whistling wind that blows from time to time whins and whines, like a soul that refuses to disperse for a long time.
The two savage giants finally stopped fighting on this day, and both sides seized this rare time to choreograph and adjust. The soldiers in the Far East were physically and mentally tired, and more than half of the soldiers did not even have time to eat, so they lay down on the spot, and fell asleep in less than a minute, they were too sleepy.
The sortie led by Mu Zhijing personally achieved a brilliant fighter, and he pursued the enemy for dozens of miles, defeating the beast soldiers attacking Beicheng. But the applause was not enthusiastic, because everyone knew that it was just one of the battles. The dense tents in the Wuming Gobi are all gale-force troops.
The pursuing soldiers returned to the fortress of Kasanra and immediately began to reorganize and resupply. Yun Jialing handled it personally, so busy that he didn't even have time to go to the toilet.
"Report to the Great Army! There will be a memorial meeting for the martyrs, and the soldiers hope that you can be there in person. The location is in the third church in the outer city. The guards came to Mu Zhijing to report.
Mu Zhijing closed the file tiredly, and she couldn't remember how many days she hadn't really slept in it. The Gale army had just retreated, countless documents were waiting for her to deal with, and all kinds of battle reports were denser than the wind and sand of a sandstorm.
The city was badly damaged, and it was urgent to dispatch people to repair it immediately, and even the cooks in the cooking class were forced to repair it, and they couldn't keep busy.
The damage of heavy weapons, the lack of manpower of craftsmen, and the heavy weapons on the head of Xicheng are eight out of ten. Nine are all destroyed, and the next wave of attacks will have to be thrown by hand.
Medical medicines, medical personnel, hemostatic drugs, gauze, except for the wounded, everything you can say is lacking. The wounded soldiers will not be able to take care of the wounded soldiers from last night to tomorrow afternoon. The wounded soldiers became more and more serious, and the condition became an infectious disease at one time.
One of the water sources was polluted, and the doctors were crying for medicine, but there was no way to bring it from outside. The sandstorm had an impact on the eyes of most of the soldiers, one by one swollen like a goldfish, and even many soldiers were temporarily blind, and they kept crying all day long.
Weapons, equipment, including, streamer armor, crossbow arrows, bows and arrows, armory documents one after another, there are still 20,000 weapons left in the inventory, 10,000 left, and 3,000 left. Sir, today we all secretly went out of the city to collect weapons on the battlefield, and we were discovered by the governor, so I beg you to be lenient.
There is not much food left, and all the residents of Kasanra have retreated, and we plan to go to the homes to see if there is anything left. Otherwise, you won't be able to get through it, sir.
……
Mu Zhijing exhaled heavily, this kind of occasion to send off the martyrs must go, and she cheered up and said: "I know, you will inform me when the time is up!" ”
The papers she had in hand were piled up on several tables, and everything was urgent. She wanted to hand over a lot of things to Yun Jialing, after all, he was the commander-in-chief. But at this moment, Yun Jialing must have a headache more than her, and the military is even more serious than these.
Countless teams that were scattered and annihilated were waiting to be choreographed. A regiment, or even a brigade, counted only to find that there were only a few soldiers left, and all of them were wounded lying on the ground. When will the next wave of Gale attack be, how will they defend if they are still attacking from three sides, and how will the forces be distributed?
Will there be an enemy in Dongcheng, which seems to be the most safe and sound, and how many people will be sent to defend it?
Can it still be defended according to the current situation? How do you defend it? Is it a fight to the death or a retreat? Is it a half-inch of land or a strategic shift?
The Gale Empire's troops are approaching the city, and they will break the city at any time, and the orders from the upper capital are still pressed down indiscriminately. Why can't the gale drive the far east away? Where is the head of the Gale Emperor? The long-awaited reinforcements came with the news: next month is the birthday of the former great general of the Far East, and on that day he will be invincible and victorious, so wait with peace of mind.
The requested military rations and weapons are being submitted to the Senate for review, military spending is too large, and a new supply plan is being revised.
His Majesty Kayun's enthronement is approaching, the Governor of Wood in front, why didn't Master Yun move forward and return to the secluded capital to congratulate?
That night, countless soldiers attended the impromptu mourning of the martyrs.
Circles of candles were lit in the teaching field, swaying in the evening breeze. Wherever they could stay, they were full of soldiers, with solemn expressions.
Only a small corner came from an incongruous sound.
"Boss Yi, let me tell you, I just discovered that candles are a good thing. It is a must-have artifact for our adults and children, home travel! ”
"There is a sigh hidden in the words of the commander of the prison guard, please speak!"
"That, everyone, candles are not only used for lighting at night, but can be used when expressing love to the girl you like, hehe, you can use it when you want to have a little mood, you can use it when you want to **, and you can use it when you want to play with wax dripping to seek stimulation. In the end, we have to use the dead, oh, sorry, we remember our ancestors, and we have to go to the grave. ”
"Do you hear that? Come on, come on, candle ten silver coins a piece, alas, buy one, after all, we need to celebrate the victory and remember our comrades! ”
"Sir, I don't think it's right to do that. These are the soldiers' hard-working salaries, and I am still thinking about money at this time, and I have been scolded several times. ”
"I'm not the Governor, let alone Your Majesty, and I can't take care of too many people. All I know is that there are many lonely family members among the brothers who died in our flag camp, and they wait for this military pay to be sent home every month. I don't have much money anyway, so if I can make up a little more, it's a little bit. Everything else is trivial in the face of life and death, why not make a little compensation for the soldiers who are alive for the sacrifice? Besides, I'm selling candles, not grabbing them. ”
"Sell candles, sell candles, twenty silver coins each!"
"...... on the road"
The crowd slowly dispersed a road, and Mu Zhijing was dressed in a strong suit, with a white heroic spirit cloth belt tied to her arm. Her tall body stood on the stone platform, looking at the grieving soldiers around her.
A crisp voice resounded throughout the audience: "Soldiers, I am Mu Zhijing." Originally, on the way here, I was carrying a memorial document. According to the rules that my grandfather set when he was a military division. But I don't think tonight is the time for remembrance, not for crying.
Like the soldiers, I received the latest casualty report, and more than 100,000 of my comrades left us. The signal corpsman who had been with me for a long time also died in the city, and I remember that he was the only son in the family, and he was not yet married. I don't know what to do with his elderly parents.
But in front of all kinds of sorrows, we are all soldiers of the Far East. The whole empire needs us to protect. Turn your hatred, anger, and sorrow into strength. We will continue to fight, brothers and sisters who go first, and we will avenge their revenge! We'll finish their unfinished routes.
The ceremony has been changed from six hours to half an hour, soldiers, please follow the commander's arrangement, rest well, and prepare for the next battle! As long as I, Mu Zhijing, are still alive, I will definitely hold a grand memorial service for them. I will engrave their names on the monument for future generations to reveal! ”
Mu Zhijing bowed in all directions, saluted, and walked down the stone platform, slowly leaving with the guards.
When time is precious to a special degree, there is no longer room to stop and hurt.
