Chapter 356: Haiyun Pass Below the Fourth

The terrible screams were mixed with a language that Zhu Houhuang didn't understand. But it can make Zhu Houhuang feel a deep sense of despair.

The only thing that Zhu Houhuang can be thankful for is that gunpowder weapons have not yet been used on a large scale on the battlefield, and most of the wounded here are sword wounds, heavy injuries, fractures, and some burns.

When Zhu Houhuang came in, a corpse was being carried outside. Zhu Houhuang looked at a dead eye, a slight chill in his heart, and he didn't know how to face everything in front of him.

Zhu Houhuang looked at the wounded one by one.

Although they were all black, thin and short city soldiers, Zhu Houhuang couldn't communicate with them. But Zhu Houhuang saw everyone's injuries, and a sense of self-blame surged in his heart, because Zhu Houhuang thought that if it weren't for him, they wouldn't have been so seriously injured, and Zhu Houhuang also knew. Most of the wounded here did not survive.

Before the invention of antibiotics, most casualties on the battlefield did not come from direct deaths, but from injuries that did not heal.

And in modern times there seems to be nothing wrong with traumatic fractures. In this day and age, it is a thing that kills people.

Zhu Houhuang had to repeat over and over again in his heart: "I'm not wrong, I'm creating a better future, and I will let history take a more glorious road from me." ”

But deep in Zhu Houhuang's heart, there was a faint voice asking himself: "Aren't you doing these things for your own glory and wealth, and for your own history?" Why should you think of yourself so noblely. ”

When Zhu Houhuang almost wanted to flee, suddenly a city soldier struggled to kneel on the ground, kowtowed to Zhu Houhuang, and said something in the ground.

"What did he say?" Zhu Houhuang asked the interpreter beside him.

"He said, 'No one has ever cared about these dying men except His Highness.'" The interpreter said.

Zhu Houhuang looked at this wounded, he was just a broken thigh, if it was not in modern times, it would be able to be repaired in just a few months, but Zhu Houhuang knew that in this era, under this situation, he could save the possibility of his life. There are already very few.

Zhu Houhuang's upper lip and small lip opened and closed several times, and finally said, "Don't worry, you will be fine." ”

Zhu Houhuang didn't know if what he said was a white lie, he couldn't bear the pressure anymore, and got up and left the wounded barracks.

Zhu Houhuang suddenly stopped outside the wounded barracks and said, "Doctor Shen." ”

"The minister is here." Dr. Shen said.

Zhu Houhuang said: "The wounded barracks will be handed over to you, first, you must do your best to help the wounded soldiers." ”

Dr. Shen said, "The heart of the doctor's parents should do their best. ”

"Second," Zhu Houhuang paused slightly, and said: "In the future, our army will also have a big battle to fight, so Gu Hope will take this opportunity to select clever soldiers and set up the camp of wounded soldiers." ”

Physician Shen smiled bitterly: "It's not that the minister doesn't do his best, but to cultivate a qualified Langzhong, which really can't be cultivated for a while." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Lone didn't think about cultivating a lot of Langzhong, but like bandaging, medicine, and other work, don't you need people to do it?" Lone hopes that he can cultivate a group of skilled hands as soon as possible. In the future, it will be good to receive more wounded. ”

Physician Shen was stunned, and he said, "Your Highness, are there still many wounded?" ”

Zhu Houhuang seemed to answer him, and as if he was talking to himself: "Who knows." ”

The wounded barracks was not far from the Chinese military camp, and in the dead of night, Zhu Houhuang was in the Chinese army's tent, and he could hear the faint screams coming. There was even a screaming that stopped abruptly.

Li Liangqin saw that Zhu Houhuang had not slept and asked, "Your Highness, will the wounded barracks be removed tomorrow?" ”

"No need." Zhu Houhuang said: "If Lone also dislikes them, then no one in the whole army can look down on them, and after they are removed, their treatment will definitely be reduced on a large scale." Moreover, what the lonely does, the lonely bears, if there are all kinds of sins in the world, they are all alone. ”

Only then did Zhu Houhuang know why many leading generals believed in Buddhism in their later years, which was really a depressing feeling on the battlefield, and it was by no means something that ordinary people could bear.

Li Liangqin looked at Zhu Houhuang and was very moved in his heart.

Wang Yangming took a fancy to Zhu Houhuang, not because Zhu Houhuang had any foresight, nor because he had any eloquence. But Zhu Houhuang has a benevolent heart.

Zhu Houhuang's conscious or unconsciously revealed this point is the reason why many people follow it wholeheartedly. And Zhu Houhuang didn't know it.

Not to mention since ancient times, it is just that the superiors of the Ming Dynasty, such as Zhengde, certainly have a conscious mind and vision, but if you say how much Zhengde loves the people, then it is over. Zhengde may not be aware of all the things that his close ministers have done, but in Zhengde's view, the balance in the court is much more important than a few people. And the same is true for Yang Tinghe and others.

Yang Tinghe, in order to clear the acres of land, made a big move in Beizhili, and there may not be no wrongs in it. He never felt that there was anything wrong with what he was doing, and for him the realization of political goals was more important than the casualties of some ordinary people.

And only Zhu Houhuang has this heart.

Maybe it's pedantic, maybe it's a woman's kindness. But Zhu Houhuang does not kill anyone indiscriminately, even if he does something against his will, he blames himself in his heart. But it is twice as before.

Zhu Houhuang didn't sleep much all night, and early the next morning, the sun had just risen, and another round of conquest began.

It seems to be a repeat of yesterday, and it is still the siege of the city army, but this time there is no bounty, Zhu Houhuang scattered 100,000 taels of silver a day yesterday. Almost all the soldiers in the city had one or two taels of silver. If it continues like this, whether Haiyun Pass can be defeated or not, Zhu Houhuang doesn't know. But Zhu Houhuang will definitely go bankrupt.

Maybe it was the lack of yesterday's monetary incentives, or maybe it was yesterday's heavy casualties that demoralized the Cham soldiers. Under the cover of artillery and bows and arrows, the Cham soldiers attacked for a while, but they could not attack, but the army broke and fled.

Zhu Houhuang slowly closed his eyes and said, "Yu Dayou, kill." ”

Yu Dayou said loudly: "Yes." ”

Yu Dayou led the headquarters to block the retreat of the Zhancheng soldiers, and the valley, which was not spacious, was tightly blocked.

Yu Dayou came out of the formation and said loudly: "Those who retreat will be killed." ”

Maybe it's the soldiers of Zhancheng who can't understand Yu Dayou's words, or maybe the soldiers of Zhancheng think that the law is not responsible for the public. didn't care about Yu Dayou's words at all.

Yu Dayou waved his hand, and countless long arrows shot out.

Jingle shot down a large crowd. Immediately, Yu Dayou's headquarters formed a formation and slowly walked forward, thousands of people rising and falling together, as if it was not a person walking, but a giant walking.

The soldiers of the city trembled with fright, and without saying a word, they immediately began to turn around and go back, and attacked the city again.

In just that moment, hundreds of people died under Yu Dayou's hands. Even the king of Zhancheng came to Zhu Houhuang to intercede, but the focus of his intercession was different, he said that there were many sons and daughters of Zhancheng nobles in the army, but could he open the net? As for the untouchables, don't care.

Zhu Houhuang didn't want to have a stalemate with the King of Champong, so he naturally agreed, Zhu Houhuang immediately regretted his decision, he never thought that he nodded here, and the King of Champa almost transferred all the generals at all levels in the Champa army, so that Zhu Houhuang had to find a way to promote the official position of a person who understands Chinese among the soldiers of the Champa Army, or to transfer a group of soldiers from the Yongjun Army to be officers.

Fortunately, Zhu Houhuang didn't have much hope for these soldiers who occupied the city, and only hoped that they would slam the city all over. These temporary officers are generally okay, but they have not weakened much in combat effectiveness, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Champa army in peacetime is not very good.

Of course, this is just a small episode.

Zhu Houhuang knew that the future battles would be even more difficult and cruel, and if Haiyun Pass was not captured in a short period of time, then when Haiyun Pass was supported by manpower and material resources from the hinterland of Annan, it would be even more indestructible and unbreakable.

However, even under such desperate supervision, the offensive of the Cham army was weaker than one at a time, and even caused several routs in rebellion.
