As the night darkened, a large number of bonfires were lit at the head of the city of Yique Pass with iron pots, and the whole city was as bright as day, and the night also needed to be on duty.

A makeshift camp was set up in the crosswalk behind the first street under the city, and the smell of blood was strong, and many wounded soldiers were placed here, and everywhere there were wails of the wounded and sick, and it was almost difficult for the seriously injured to survive.

Wang Tan is a man of few words, so he has always acted more, Meng Qiong arranged night defense at the head of the city, he did not take off his armor at night, patrolling and visiting the wounded soldiers.

Most injuries need to be with Tiandou, if you endure it without a fever, or if you can survive the fever, then there is a high probability that you will be able to survive, if you can't, you won't have a chance.

There were also some seriously wounded soldiers who were injured in the vital parts and could only wait for death in pain, and sixteen dying wounded soldiers were carried out of the camp tent and placed outside, when Wang Tan walked over, the doctor with the army came over and bowed his hand to him, and then shook his head helplessly.

Wang Tan immediately understood, and walked over to see the wounded soldiers lying on the ground, most of them were already unconscious or asleep, and a few were dying and wailing.

"Give them a ride." Wang Tan said.

The military doctor nodded, and then he and several of his medical guards took out a special chisel and small hammer from the medical box, and they skillfully chiseled at the back of the wounded soldier's head, which could instantly penetrate the back of the person's skull and make people unconscious, and die silently.

This is nothing new in the army, and the doctors and a few medical guards are skilled, and everyone seems to be used to it.

Wang Tan then instructed, "Good life and burial, the weather has been hot for the past two days, and it should be buried as soon as possible."

"No!" The surrounding auxiliaries agreed.

He didn't say more, but asked the captain of the soldiers beside him, "How are the casualties today?"

As he walked, the captain said, "Four hundred and two people were killed in battle, and thousands were wounded."

Wang Tan said with some concern: "It's only the first day, and so many people have been lost......

The captain of the pro-soldier comforted, "The losses of the Yu army are even greater."

Wang Tan shook his head and said, "Our losses can't be compared with the Yu army, and you can't have such thoughts. The defenders in the city are pro-guard divisions, more than 10,000 people, and they have lost so much on the first day, and it is not a way to go on for a long time.

The Holy One told me to hold this place, so that we could exhaust the enemy, and we should be prepared to defend it for at least a month."

When the captain of the pro-soldier heard this, he was shocked and said, "A month?! General, there are so many people in the Yu army, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold it for that long."

Wang Tan was unmoved, and said firmly, "It's always right to prepare for the worst. The news here should be reported to the Holy Saint every half an hour, without interruption.

We must be prepared tonight, the rolling wood and stones, arrows and gold juice defending the city must be delivered to the city tonight, and wait until tomorrow morning, if the battle starts, it will be too late, and we cannot relax our guard at night, and the Yu army may attack at night."

Wang Tan did not go to the big tent to rest until the second half of the night, and many soldiers slept under the eaves on both sides of the street, covered with tung oil cloth, covered with thick linen.

Hundreds of people crowded into the narrow streets, snoring like thunder, sweat, feet, mixed with the smell of blood, mixed with the smell of blood mixed with the smell is very strong, but no one cares at all, the loud snoring does not affect it, the day of fighting and making them physically and mentally exhausted, touch the ground and sleep.

Such conditions of war are such that most people are reluctant to fight unless they are forced to do so.

Wang Tan is slightly better, sleeping in a room on the side of the street, there is a spacious mansion in Yique Pass, which is the residence of Jin Song, the original Yu State guard general in Yique Pass.

After Wang Tan took over, all his generals persuaded him to live in, but he refused, and asked people to use Jin Song's mansion as a warehouse for the army, hoarding grain, grass, baggage, ordnance, etc., while he lived on the street with his soldiers.

Wang Tan's explanation is that Jin Song's mansion is located in the middle of the city, close to all sides, and the surrounding roads are wide, which can be sent to various cities in time, and the place is also spacious, which can put a lot of heavy grain and grass, and finally it is settled.

When Wang Tan dragged into the room with a tired body and was about to fall asleep, he suddenly found that there was a figure sitting at the table in the room, and he subconsciously held on to the handle of the knife.

When I looked closely, I found that it was Meng Sheng, the commander of the Third Brigade.

Wang Tan's face was stunned

He said angrily, "It's so late, why are you running into my house? But the Holy One has said that it is immoral to disturb someone to sleep."

Meng Sheng smiled and said, "The Holy Lord has said so many things, you actually remember this sentence most clearly. Look, I heard that you haven't eaten until now, but you have prepared a table of good food, you can't save my face......

"Oh, you're back, look, what did I find?" Hearing the voice behind him, Wang Tan's face was even more ugly, and when he turned around, he saw Li Han, the commander of the Second Brigade, walking in with a wine jar in his hand.

Li Han saw Wang Tan and said with a smile, "You kid, you can be regarded as coming back, how about it? Be safe from the city."

As he spoke, Li Han slapped off the mud seal on the wine jar, and his movements were clean and neat, just like when he used a knife to cut people during the day.

Meng Sheng sniffed it with an obsessive expression and sighed, "Five years of West Wind Fierce, you kid is hiding your secrets. You don't usually take it out, but this time I'm going to drink enough."

Li Han said angrily, "Your kid is just a wine vat, and ten jars of wine are not enough for you alone. How dare I take it out, besides, how strict the Holy Lord's army is, don't you know? If I had drunk and made a mistake, the Master would have been gone a long time ago."

The three of them sat around the round table, drinking wine, chatting and eating fat chicken and roast goose on the table.

Wang Tan looked at the two of them and said, "While there are still these delicious foods, hurry up and eat, and wait until tomorrow, our diet will be the same as that of the soldiers." Don't be special, and this wine ......."

Li Han waved his hand and said, "Just put your heart in your stomach, this meal, the meat is all from Meng Sheng, and you don't know that he is greedy. I made the wine, and this jar of wine will be gone tomorrow."

Meng Sheng ate the chicken legs, his mouth was full of oil, and he said vaguely, "That's it, you can rest assured. The Holy Lord has asked us to resist the Yu army at Yique Pass for a month, and we have to treat each day as if it were the last."

Wang Tan sighed, to be honest, although he received the military order from the saint, he really had no bottom in his heart. The Yu army reached 300,000 people, and the personal guard division had more than 15,000 people in its heyday, 20 times, and the difference in strength was too great.

The small meeting of the three soon ended, during which they discussed the details of defending the city, as well as the duties of the brigades, as well as the support plan.

After Li Han and Meng Sheng finished eating and drinking at Wangtan, they left Wangtan's house with their own soldiers and returned to their own residence. After Wang Tan asked his soldiers to clean up the mess in the house, he lay on the bed, and soon the alcohol came up, and the fatigue of the day made him quickly fall into a deep sleep.
