Despite the timely rescue, nearly 400 of the 500 brothers who followed Yuwen and the first to storm the enemy camp were killed. Almost all of the more than 100 survivors who were rescued alive were wounded, and they could no longer fight without ten days and half a month of recuperation. The nameless valley in front of him was very long, and the Xiongwu Xiaoguo Battalion had only taken a small section of its entrance. For a short time, they no longer had the strength to continue the attack. And whether or not the stronghold that has been captured in a bloody battle can be held, judging from the current situation, the answer is not optimistic.

Almost all the circumstances were unfavorable to the Sui army, and the only consolation was that there was such a large proportion of casualties in the first battle, and the morale of the Xiongwu Xiaoguo battalion was not completely crushed. Maybe it's because the hearts of the heroes from the market are tougher than ordinary people, or maybe it's because the desperate behavior of the generals has briefly moved them. Whatever the reason, in short, the actions of the soldiers to carry out the orders began to become positive. And those middle- and low-level officers who had different backgrounds behind them and joined the Xiongwu Xiaoguo Battalion with different purposes also began to express their support to the commander-in-chief, consciously or unconsciously.

This is not the support that Xuzi received by relying on an iron fist and coercion before, this kind of support comes from the hearts of everyone, and over time, it will eventually glue the entire Xiongwu Xiaoguo Camp into an iron plate.

Yu Wenshi was keenly aware of the change in the mentality of the soldiers, and he was a little happy for Xuzi, but at the same time he felt a faint jealousy. But none of this is important, the most important thing at the moment is to help Li Xu get through the difficulties in front of him. The narrow valley blocked the way for the transmission of information, and the retreating Crusade army would not dare to stay on the other side of the valley for too long if they did not know that there was a reinforcement on the other side of the valley. If the two Sui armies could not meet smoothly within three days, the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, who could not figure out the enemy's situation, would definitely choose to take a detour. In that case, the 300,000 army will be equivalent to embarking on a road of no return, and the entire Yuwen family will also fall into the abyss of no return because of the death of 300,000 soldiers.

"His Majesty the Emperor has already forgiven his father once, it is impossible to forgive the second time!" Yu Wenshi and depressedly thought. He grinned from time to time from the sharp pain in his shoulder, left rib and right calf, but after a brief moment of pain, his face quickly returned to a stiff state.

The expression looked like he was forcibly holding back the pain so as not to moan himself, inadvertently earning him a few appreciative glances. In any era, military men appreciate tough guys. Especially a guy like him, who has been clothed and fed since childhood, as long as he shows a little bit of ordinary people's toughness, he often wins twice as much respect as others. "If the adult is in pain, you might as well shout, it's hot, this salt water must be thicker to be useful!" Sun Wenjin, who was in the army, told with a smile, and the kudzu cloth in his hand moved up and down, quickly cleaning up the dirty blood around several wounds.

"No, it's not, it doesn't hurt!" Yu Wenshi and intermittently explained. There were too many people around, and in order to avoid affecting the morale of the military, he couldn't express his worries. This kind of performance of wanting to speak and stopping made people even more misunderstand that he was enduring the pain, and several middle-level generals surrounded him one after another, expressing their admiration for the toughness of the prison army.

"Lord Overseer is a tough guy!" Captain Li Mengyan stretched out his hand and slapped Yu Wenshi and his bare shoulder, praising him. The tenderness of the skin on the other party's shoulders was far beyond his expectations, Li Mengwei quickly retracted his hand, looked at the rough palm in disbelief, and then let out a wolf-like exclamation: "Good girl, what kind of good things does Lord Prison Army eat on weekdays, this skin and flesh is more watery than the little girl!"

"Boom!" Several middle-level generals all laughed, unscrupulous. Someone simply had the audacity to touch the place where Li Mengwei had patted, shaking his head while sniffing with his nose to see if there was any aroma left on his palm.

"Lord Overseer's tender flesh and skin!"

"Tsk, it's really finer than the little girl!"

"If the overseer is not a concubine, there will definitely be a lot of girls and children following the door!"

Everyone laughed and frolicked, turning a blind eye to the Goguryeo soldiers and horses moving more than 300 paces outside the camp.

Yu Wenshi and the most annoying thing is that others say that he was born with a woman, and if this happened in normal times, he must have found a way to cut off the head of the initiator who made fun of himself. But now, instead of feeling angry at all, he felt that he fit in well with the rough ruffians around him. Listening to everyone laugh for a while, he propped up his head from the felt collapse, and scolded with a smile: "Don't just know how to miss the girl, think about how to pass the valley in front of you." If you still lose money in the afternoon like in the morning, it won't be enough for everyone to lose their eggs!"

The expressions on everyone's faces gradually became solemn, and everyone had the ability to make fun in suffering, but everyone lacked the ability to respond to the enemy. Although they are much older than Li Xu, they have no more actual combat experience than Li Xu, a seventeen-year-old doll. After pondering for a while, someone tentatively suggested, "Why don't we find a few good people to climb up to the cliffs on both sides and throw torches down from above?" ”

"you***, such a high cliff that a monkey can climb on. Even if they climbed, the torches would not be on target. If it is crooked by the wind, it is really called setting yourself on fire!" Governor Li Anyuan scolded and refuted. The cliff in front of you is seven or eight hundred feet high, and if you stand on it and look down, it is estimated that the soldiers on both sides have become small ants. At such a distance, even a marksman cannot guarantee to hit the target. Throwing torches down from above, how can it be possible to get the desired effect.

"That's not necessarily, it's been a westerly wind these days!" Zhang Xiu jumped over and raised the bar with Li Anyuan, "Even if the torch is blown crooked by the wind, it can only be blown to the enemy camp!"

"Counting on the wind to help, you might as well set fire directly in your own camp!" Li Anyuan retorted unceremoniously. He is very familiar with Zhang Xiu, and he is used to bickering, so it has almost become instinctive to pick on the other party's ideas.

"I was about to suggest that Lang General burn down the company camp!" Zhang Xiu lifted her chin and was triumphant. The burning of the company camp is the record he saw from the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", and there are many trees in the valley in front of him, and it ...... if he lights a fire. Zhang Xiu thought obsessively, as if he had seen tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops wiped out under his own tricks.

"Captain Zhang, look at what it is!" The troubles hovering in Yu Wenshi's heart were also diluted a little by the actions of the others, and he asked in a low voice as he pointed to the area not far away where the sunlight was reflected.

"River, black bones, black bones...... water" Zhang Xiu's voice slowly decreased, and his frustrated expression was written all over his face in an instant. The Wugu River runs through the gorge, and it is now the season when the water flow is at its fullest, and even if someone deliberately sets fire, it is impossible to burn on the riverside.

Everyone slowly regained their quietness, and everyone was helpless about the predicament in front of them. If this battle takes place on the plains, the soldiers of the Xiaoguo battalion, although they are poorly trained, can also hope to break through a passage in the opponent's position with the help of war horses and lances. However, at present, the battlefield of the two sides is only a few hundred paces wide, not only can not use cavalry raid tactics, even if the infantry is strong, only 1,000 people can go up at a time.

In one morning, at the cost of more than 800 casualties, the group only broke the enemy's first base. According to this progress and the proportion of casualties, it will take at least ten days to break through the entire valley, and the premise is that another 10,000 reinforcements will rush over from Liaodong City!

Someone secretly looked at Li Xu, hoping that he could get an idea, and now, this young man has become the backbone of everyone. But since he stabilized the camp, this man stood by the wooden fence and looked at the Goguryeo people in the distance without moving. The generals' frolicking before, and the current discussion, seemed as if he hadn't heard it, or had heard it but didn't care much.

Li Xu stood like a rock, his hair blowing like silk threads in the air in the west wind. His eyes were fixed on more than 300 paces away, where the Goguryeo people were busy like ants, fortified with stone blocks and wooden fences. Between the layers of camps, there are Goguryeo soldiers like ant colonies. The other side had begun to value their own support forces, and new banners were constantly moving from the depths of the valley to the front areas controlled by the Goguryeos. Most of the Goguryeo soldiers who arrived in a hurry were wearing armor, and the iron leaves on the armor glistened in the scorching sun.

It is a heavy infantry and the king of defensive warfare. Li Xu can foresee that the next battle will become more and more difficult. The untrained Xiaoguo had little chance of winning the battle, and even if the Great Sui soldiers and horses arrived in time across the valley, it would be difficult for the two Sui armies who could not communicate to cooperate effectively.

"The most important thing at the moment is not how to organize the next attack, but to let Old General Yuwenshu know that we are on the other side of the valley!" Xuzi finally turned around and said with difficulty to everyone.

"I think so too!" Yu Wenshi smiled bitterly and responded. For a rare time, he no longer attacked Li Xu, but took the initiative to agree with his opinion.

Everyone looked at the river flowing to the southeast, and their throats moved in unison. Find a few water-based dead men to swim across the valley after dark? This may be a solution. But the premise is that such dead soldiers can be found in the Xiaoguo camp, and the Goguryeo people did not lay any traps in the river.

Hope for the latter condition to be true, almost non-existent.

"If Lord Lang only wants to deliver the news, I may have a way!" Sun Jin, who had been busy treating the wounds of the generals, suddenly raised his head and said in a low voice.
