492 next day

Mao Caigui and the others walked all the way to the city with the soldier named Tianjun who called them, but they didn't say anything on the way, but they just looked east and west to confirm what they thought.

They walked on the side of the road and did not hinder the march of the army. The fully armed men and men of the heavenly army drove to the city in groups, and some came down from the city.

The difference between these soldiers is obvious, those soldiers at the head of the city are nervous, and their pace and demeanor are according to their training, and they are meticulous. And those soldiers who went down to the city, although they were also lined up in a neat line, showed a trace of relaxation, and there was a faint pride in their exhaustion.

When I went to the city, I just saw that there were arrows in many places, and from this density, I am afraid that it was an overwhelming rain of arrows at that time.

Mao Caigui felt a little creepy in his heart, imagining that if he defended the city at night, he was afraid that he would be scared to death.

Turning his gaze to the ground, a large section of the area was stained red with blood, and in some places there was even a dazzling accumulation of blood like a pool of blood.

There were many corpses of Jianyu, whose sturdy bodies had been broken, and they were lying on their backs or throwing themselves on the ground, and there were still a lot of them. It is clear that there have been inspiring battles here.

With a "wow", Mao Caigui couldn't hold back anymore and spit it out, although there was no stock in his stomach, he was just dry.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen the corpses with severed hands and feet, but it was like a slaughterhouse, and it was beyond his patience.

"You, you, you, and a few of you, come over and help! The others will gather for a while and go to the city to collect the corpses and clean up the battlefield! ”

Mao Caigui got better after vomiting for a while, endured the follow-up unhappiness, and when he heard the sound and looked over, he found that it was a soldier of the Heavenly Army with an armband on his right arm who was greeting them.

That armband was strange and I hadn't seen it before. A red gourd is embroidered on a white background. He paused slightly, and then remembered that he had heard that this was a doctor in the army, and he usually seemed to be called a military doctor. The gourd means hanging the pot to help the world, and is responsible for the treatment of disabled diseases in the army.

He's on it. The military doctor waved his hand and urged again: "Hurry up, many soldiers are injured, you can do a favor." If you don't like it, go to the city to clean up the battlefield. ”

When the few people who were named heard this, they hurriedly followed, and Mao Caigui just walked to the outside of the city wall, so he stretched out his head and looked out.

Within sight, there were no captured troops. Only a number of corpses lay on the ground. Some lay on their heads on the ground, while others lay on their backs. However, more of them were lying there with their feet on the side of the city wall, and Mao Caigui didn't have to guess to know that these prisoners were killed from behind when they fled.

Although there are fewer broken hands and feet outside than the city, there seem to be a lot of charred corpses. Well, it's faintly a bit meaty. As soon as his mind came back to his senses, Mao Caigui couldn't help but sigh again. He didn't know it, just under the walls that he couldn't see. More charred corpses fell to the ground.

On the arrow tower at the head of the south gate, there are a pair of sentinels every few steps. Like a javelin, he guarded his post and the atmosphere was solemn.

In the arrow tower, it was originally the command room of the rotating commander Liu Daneng, but it had been occupied by Hu Kuan at this time. He thought that the situation in the city was too slow, so the first post-war military conference was held here, and the generals above the battalion level were present.

Hu Kuan's face was serious. "According to the latest statistics, our army has killed thirty-four people, eighteen people were seriously wounded, and fifty-six people were slightly wounded. The main losses were caused by being caught off guard by the first wave of attacks when they were raided by the Jianyu. ”

Although the absolute number of casualties is not very large. But this is a battle to defend the city, and the strength of the Heavenly Army is not much, and it is an elite route, and the losses have hit a new high. After hearing this, the generals present lost the joy of winning the war.

Hu Kuan was silent, and with a little self-reproach, he reviewed first: "Although we have made a lot of preparations and have been waiting for this battle for a long time, when we are about to fight, we still lack experience. Here I summarize, if there is any omission, you will supplement, check and fill in the gaps before the battle! ”

This kind of summary meeting was requested by Hu Guang at the beginning. Therefore, no one was surprised, just looked at Hu Kuan with a serious face, waiting for his speech.

Hu Kuan glanced at everyone present before he concluded: "First, for the tactical deception of the Jianyu, I thought that they came from afar, and they were stationed on the east bank of the Heihe River, and it was very unlikely that they would spend the night attacking the city at night in the Heihe. This error in judgment has lowered our vigilance a lot! ”

"Second, we don't pay enough attention to the lack of a moat, and we are being built to approach the city under the cover of night and release arrows, which is the direct reason why we call the Heavenly Army to suffer a large loss."

"Third, although there is an overestimate, it still underestimates the ferocity of Jianyu. Their archers were numerous, morale-high, and well-trained, and they were able to storm the city in a fraction of the time. ”

After Hu Kuan finished saying the three points of the summary, he asked loudly while glancing at the generals at all levels: "Do you have anything else to add?" ”

Last night, Liu Daneng took turns at the head of the city, and he felt more than other generals, and after Hu Kuan finished speaking, he stood up and added: "Although our soldiers usually have a lot of training, when the matter comes, there are still some people who panicked, so that they were captured and attacked by Jian. Also, the long-range weapons of the castle head are too weak and need to be strengthened. ”

Hu Kuan nodded when he heard this, and seeing that he didn't mention anything else, he waved his hand to let him sit down, and then looked at the others.

During the meeting, occasionally soldiers came in to report on the situation of cleaning up the battlefield, and it was held for a long time, and when the lessons were all over, they began to improve the defense against these lessons word by word.

In the corner of the conference room, Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang were taking notes. The two of them are relatively old, and Hu Guang has a heart for them to be exposed to the war so that they can grow up quickly.

The minutes of the current meeting, after they are completed, will be distributed to the generals participating in the war, and their own opinions will also be attached, and they will be reviewed by Hu Guang when the war is over.

The besieging Jianyu army had already retreated to their camp on the east bank of Blackwater by dawn. After a busy night, not only did they not take the city, but there were many dead and wounded, which made their morale not high.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the sound of "clang" sounded, it was Duoduo who overturned the desk he used in his office, and was roaring loudly to vent his anger.

At this time, he had already received a report that more than 100 people had not returned, and more than 200 had returned with injuries.

Although their absolute number was not large, those who died under the Naturalized City were the elite of the Duoduo, and the Bayala soldiers alone were nearly fifty gone.

These Bayala soldiers are the only warriors in a hundred miles. As far as the Zhengbai flag is concerned, because it is the flag to which Nurhachi belonged in the past, it is full of heritage, and there are only about 600 people.

In this battle, nearly fifty people died, how could you not let Duoduo go crazy for it! (To be continued.) )
