Cheongju City, which had been noisy all afternoon, finally quieted down, the corpses under the city 'gate' were all over the field, the smoke of gunpowder was bursting, and the terrible rush echoed inside and outside the city wall, and the troops on both sides were nervously and carefully rescuing their wounded soldiers.

This is not to fight Hu Xiaoren, so there is no need to kill them all, even the wounded are not spared, and there are some unwritten rules on the Bailuan Continent for collecting corpses and treating the wounded.
For example, fighting Hu Xiao, these people are 'sexually' savage, they do not accept prisoners of war, and they will not surrender, so after a battle, if Hu Xiao wins, there are basically no wounded, and even if there are, they will be killed, and then the corpses will be collected, and they will not burn their own people and enemies with a fire!
If the other party wins, the fate of Hu Xiaoren is the same, even if the enemy does not kill these Hu Xiao's wounded soldiers, they will solve themselves by themselves!
And when dealing with the Japanese birds, although the wounded will not be killed on the spot, they will become captives, and then they will be abused in every way, and they will end up with life worse than death! They will be used as slaves or test subjects, and live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, and in the end it will be difficult to escape death!
Therefore, for the people of the Central Plains, they would rather fight to the death with Hu Xiao people on the battlefield than fall into the hands of the Japanese birds!
In the battle of other troops, the treatment of corpses and wounded is generally the winner who collects the corpses, because the loser has already retreated, and it is impossible to turn back and dispose of the corpses.
If there is a siege like the present one, a stalemate that cannot be attacked for a long time, or a plain positional battle, and neither side can push back the other, then troops with a white rope tied to their arms will be sent, and the number will not be too large, and they will not be able to carry any weapons, and they will travel back and forth between the battlefield and the barracks, transporting the wounded and corpses.
At this time, the soldiers on both sides will not attack these white rope soldiers, because the corpses are piled up on the battlefield in large quantities and left untreated, which will bring great trouble to both sides!
Especially in weather like now, corpses can stink in a day, and if tens of thousands of corpses decompose, the stench is simply more domineering and unpleasant than any poisonous gas, and what is even more terrifying is the ensuing plague, which is enough to poison all the people on both sides!
Now shuttling on the battlefield are some soldiers with white ropes tied to their left arms, their faces are 'covered' with black cloth, and their eyes are slightly shining under the light of torches, and they must be full of tears!
They are also human beings, watching their brothers who used to get along with them turn into a cold corpse in one afternoon, even if they are not afraid of death, they will inevitably be sad!
Xiaobao sighed, slapped the red rainbow flowing clouds, turned around and continued to walk towards Fuhugang. Mo Zhan and Bu Ying behind them were trembling, looking at the city wall standing in the night in the distance, their fists clenched tightly, and their knuckles gurgling!
"Let's go!" Xiaobao understood the current mood of the two, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he should go first. Mo Zhan and Bu Ying took a long breath, lowered their heads, and rode closely behind Xiaobao!
The city 'gate' of Fuhugang has been controlled by the Xuan soldiers, and at this moment even the city 'gate' has not been closed! However, it is nothing to close the city 'gate', the city is full of Xuan troops, unless the army of the Yin Dynasty descends from the sky, the defenders of Qingzhou now have no spare strength to sneak attack!
It was all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army in the 'gate' of the southern city, although it was already the time of the year, but the fairy sheep did not sleep, and there was still a sound of argument in the tent.
When the guards saw Xiao Bao coming, he was about to pay homage, but Xiao Bao waved his hand to silence him, and a cold snort came from inside: "Since the marshal called me here and wants to listen to my opinion, then I will be blunt! If you want to hear compliments, then I'm sorry, I won't say it!"
Mo Zhan and Bu Ying's eyes widened and they glanced at each other. I can't imagine that there are such big people in this Xuan army, and they are so unkind to even speak to the marshal! It is said that this Xuan army is not a soldier with loose discipline, and it can be seen just by looking at the soldiers on the street who do not enter the 'door' of their homes!
But I heard the voice of the fairy sheep coming from inside: "Brother Bai is serious! This Shuai invited Brother Bai to come just to hear Brother Bai's evaluation of our army's tactics, and I hope that Brother Bai knows everything and says everything, and I will listen to it!"
Xiaobao smiled slightly, beckoned to the two behind him, lifted the curtain and entered the tent. As soon as the people inside saw that it was Xuanbao who came in, they quickly knelt on the ground and saluted: "See the emperor!"
Xiaobao waved his hand and said to everyone: "Get up, there is no need to be polite in the army in the future, these forms of false courtesy, let's talk about it when we reach Panlongjiang! Baishengzhi, didn't you just say that you want to be outspoken? It just so happened that I brought two friends to observe, so you can continue!"
The one standing beside the immortal sheep was the captured general Baisheng of Fengdian. He could be rude to the marshal, but he didn't dare to go beyond Xuanbao, scratching his head and saying: "The emperor forgives the sin!
"Hundred Battles General Hundred Victories?" Mo Zhan and Bu Ying exclaimed at the same time, their eyes widened, and they looked at the person in front of them with an unbelievable look.
Baisheng was stunned, then he raised his eyes and looked at the two people behind Xuanbao, looked at it for a while, and shouted in surprise: "Isn't this General Mo Zhan and General Bu Ying of the Tiger Courage Army! I can't think of it... Huh..."
The three Yin generals met in the Chinese army tent of the Xuan Army, and this meeting was really embarrassing. These three generals are still some famous generals in the Yin army, some are good at attacking, some are good at defending, but now they have to deal with their former companions!
Mo Zhan and Bu Ying also blushed a little, but remembering the brothers who died under the city wall and the purpose of coming to Xuanying tonight, the two of them quickly adjusted their mentality, regained their calmness, and said to Bai Shengzhi: "General Bai, you also saw you in today's battle, we asked Xuanzun to take us to Xuanying to learn the scriptures, and I hope the general will not hesitate to give advice!"
If others commented on this battle, Mo Zhan and Bu Ying might still be unconvinced. But at this moment, he is a famous general in the Yin army, an expert in siege warfare, and his words are more convincing than anyone else!
Bai Shengzhi also put aside the embarrassment in his heart, since even the Tiger Courage Army is so close to the Xuan Army, the decline of the Yin Army is also the general trend, and his own defection to the Xuan Army also belongs to abandoning the dark and turning to the light, there is nothing to feel guilty about!
"The two generals have won the award! Shengzhi is no longer a general, but a commander of the Xuan army, Cheng'meng' emperor and marshal can afford it, so he let Shengzhi participate in this military aircraft major event, Shengzhi faction is vain, everyone listen to it, the right to laugh and talk!" Xu saw Xiaobao and his old friend, and Baishengzhi was also much more modest, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Mo Zhan and Bu Ying and said a few polite words.
Xiaobao smiled and said to everyone: "Let's all sit down and talk, since everyone is here tonight, let's discuss the war and how to take Qingzhou City!"
In the middle of the big tent is a soft couch covered with tiger skin and 'hair' blanket, which is Xiaobao's special seat, and even the fairy sheep dare not sit.
The front left is the position of the fairy sheep, and the front right is the military advisor. Then behind the two of them to the tent 'door' direction are the main and deputy generals, each of them has a low wooden table in front of the bed, not the time for meals, it is empty, Xiaobao also does not like to drink and eat 'meat' in the big tent of the Chinese army, this is a place to discuss military affairs!
Everyone sat down, Bu Ying couldn't hold his breath first, and said to Bai Shengzhi on the opposite side: "Brother Bai, Qingzhou is so strong, how can I break it?"
Bai Shengzhi snorted, glared at him unceremoniously and said: "The Die Hard Army is famous, but now it is fighting such a battle, the old prince's face can be regarded as lost by the two of you!"
This scolding is really not polite at all, Mo Zhan and Bu Ying's faces suddenly turned red, but they can't attack! If this Baisheng is a pure Xuanjun, the two of them can still refute it, after all, the two armies have their own ways of fighting, and a victory in a battle is nothing!
But Yum is a figure as famous as their marshal, and he is also their senior, and he is one of the top generals in the Yin army in the past, and it is natural to scold them two juniors!
Bai Shengzhi continued: "Go to the army to attack and plot, and then attack the 'handover', and attack the city below! 'Want' to attack the city, first sharp weapons, and use human lives to fill the city, it is really a fool's move!"
This sentence coincided with what Xiaobao said to Mo Zhan and the others before, but the wording was much sharper, and Mo Zhan and Bu Ying scolded them red-faced, and they didn't dare to raise their heads!
This general of a hundred battles is notoriously hot-tempered among the Yin army, and he is outspoken and quick-witted, and he does not give any hint to anyone! Otherwise, with his outstanding military exploits, he would not have been sent to the remote Fengdian City to be a small city defender!
However, Xiaobao is really afraid that this old man will scold Mo Zhan and Bu Ying, and when the time comes, the two young and vigorous generals will leave with their sleeves up, and the more than 200,000 tiger soldiers may all be buried outside this Qingzhou City!
"Baishengzhi, all the people in this Qingzhou City are soldiers, even if there are siege equipment, they may not be able to defeat it in a short time! The Qingzhou city wall is strong and tall, how can we exchange the opportunity to break the city at a small price?" Xiaobao looked at Baishengzhi with a sincere face, although this old man has a bad temper, but he is indeed an expert in this field.
He was also diverting Bai Shengzhi's attention, so that Mo Zhan and Bu Ying were not so embarrassed. How could Mo Zhan and Bu Ying not know Xiaobao's intentions, and at the same time cast a 'excited' look at him.
Yum laughed and said to Xiaobao: "Actually, Emperor Zun has already thought of a way, but it hasn't been decided yet!"
"Huh?" Xiaobao looked at Yum Zhi a little inexplicably, and thought of a way? No, if he could think of it, he wouldn't ask you!
Shi Wuce smiled bitterly and said to Bai Shengzhi: "Since Brother Bai is already a 'chest', don't sell Guan Zi anymore!"
Now that he has taken refuge in the Xuanjun, Bai Shengzhi has no courage to annoy everyone, so that the emperor is waiting for him, and hurriedly said to everyone: "To deal with Qingzhou, it only takes eight words, which is what the emperor once said." Surround but not fight, prevent but not fight!"
"Surround but not fight, prevent but not fight?!" everyone read along, these eight words are easy to understand, so everyone can understand it, but some people are happy and some are sad!
Bu Ying said angrily: "My Die Hard Army sacrificed so many brothers today, and the enemy is right in front of me, you let me not fight or fight?"
Bai Shengzhi scolded him unceremoniously: "It is precisely because of your stupidity that the Die Hard soldiers have given so many people's 'lives' in vain, are you still stubbornly 'obsessed' and silent, pulling the whole army into this fire pit?"
Bu Ying's face turned red, and he wanted to distinguish it again, but Mo Zhan shook his head at him, looked at Bai Shengzhi and said: "If we want to surround but not fight, when will we use them? They are in the city, but we are in the wilderness!"
Yum said with a disdainful face: "It is precisely because of this that you are surrounded and not attacked! Don't forget that all the fields in Cheongju are outside the city, and with their current situation, the food in the city will not last long at all!"
