Zhu Xiang collected some herbs that were slightly better than nothing, and hired some old women to sew wounds for the wounded soldiers.

In addition to ensuring that the cloth belts used on the wounded soldiers and the equipment used to suture the wounds were scalded in boiling water, Zhu Xiang did not have any guidance for this simple wounded soldier camp, nor could he give any guidance

He also hired some old and sick people who could not go to the front line to build blast furnaces and burn the soldiers who died in battle.

Now that the weather is hot, corpses are prone to decay. Once the plague spread in the city, Guangling City was defeated.

When a corpse is burned, the flame can also be used by the blacksmith to repair his weapons, or to make a fire to cook and boil water.

When Zhu Xiang made this decision, he felt that he had the potential to go down to the eighteen layers of hell, but he still did it.

The wounded and the dead were brought back one after another, and the soldiers in the city stepped forward to replace them.

This time, the substitutes were all old men who were masked and couldn't see their looks.

The Chu army will not come to attack for the time being, they hold the defensive line and prevent sporadic harassment. If the Chu army attacks by surprise, they will do their best to resist it, so that the young soldiers who are resting on the first front have enough time to respond.

They didn't have many weapons on them, only thick wooden shields, and they came here to die.

When Zhu Xiang selected soldiers, the young and young did not go to the front, only one son or one woman in the family went to the front line last, and the other men, women, old and weak would go to war.

Among the first batch of people to resist the soldiers, there were many young and strong women.

Although their strength was not as great as that of men, they could poke a few people to death with spears behind the bamboo fence, just in time for the male soldiers with shields and crossbows.

Zhu Xiang registered the names and families of all the soldiers who went out into battle, counted those who were still alive during the rest every day, and recorded the rest of the people who died in battle.

It is not good to remember the decapitation merit of defending the city, and there will definitely be chaos in the struggle for the head, Zhu Xiang uses "holding the defense line" to record the collective merit, and then the remaining contribution or beheading merit is managed by Meng Tian.

Professional things are left to professional people to do, and he is only responsible for increasing the "guarantee" credit.

The war dead were all rewarded with food, cloth and a certain amount of Qin money, which were given to the family members or friends who had registered in advance, and there was no limit to whether they were family members.

Zhu Xiang maximized their willingness to distribute the assets they received after death.

If the Qin people died in battle, Zhu Xiang would pay out of his own pocket and give them the fields and bounties they would get for the lowest titles.

He can't give people titles directly like King Qin, but he has money and land.

Although Zhu Xiang returned all the offerings of Changping County's food to the Qin State, he had a lot of money and rarely spent it.

Changping Jun, the most trusted of the three generations of Qin kings, even if he doesn't love wealth and nobility, he will not lose his wealth.

Although the Qin soldiers were obedient to orders, and they still had combat exploits, they were eager to try, and they all showed positive performance in the defense of Guangling. But Zhu Xiang couldn't get over it.

None of the Qin soldiers could have died, but it was he who decided to defend the city, so these Qin soldiers stayed.

He's just trying to be a hypocritical peace of mind.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention that this is not just a heavy reward.

Seeing that Zhu Xianggong personally compiled their wishes for them, the pre-war mobilization was not to say some words that they did not understand, but to take the trouble to tell them what they would gain by fighting bravely, and after the war, he personally boiled medicine and delivered water in the wounded barracks, and would weep for their pain and death.

Just like Wu Qi sucking abscesses for the soldiers back then, the soldiers were willing to die for such a general.

What's more, Zhu Xianggong is not an exaggerated performance as a soldier sucking abscesses.

Yes, the soldiers knew it was a show. But the generals can perform this scene for them, and they are all willing to die for the generals.

Zhu Xiang is really sympathetic to their needs, and does what he can for them plainly, as if all this is taken for granted.

The soldiers knew that Zhu Xianggong was not acting, and he would continue to do so. Because that's who he is.

What moved the soldiers even more was that they were willing to die for Zhu Xianggong, but Zhu Xianggong didn't have to face such a dangerous situation.

It is they who will die, and Zhu Xianggong will not die at all. These people have nothing to do with Zhu Xianggong, and they even had a very indifferent attitude towards Zhu Xianggong before.

Zhu Xianggong didn't do this to make them willing to die on the battlefield, what they want to protect now is their hometown and their own family.

It was Zhu Xianggong who was willing to die for such a noble-minded man like them, such a Chu person who was abandoned by the Chu State!

"Uncle, it's time for you to rest." Meng Tian reminded again, "If you get sick, Guangling will definitely break the city." ”

Meng Tian looked at the people around him—not only the people from Guangling, but also the Qin soldiers under his command, looking at Zhu Xiang in amazement.

It's just a fierce battle of less than two hours a day, has Zhu Xianggong become the backbone of all the soldiers and civilians in this city?

What a terrible talent for leading troops!

No wonder Wu Chengjun dared to rest assured and boldly let Zhu Xianggong defend the city!

Zhu Xiang said: "I know, I will go to rest after arranging for the next night." ”

It's summer now, and the temperature of the river is lower than that of the land day and night, so the river breeze blows.

This was taken into account when Guangling Castle was built, and the wind at the city gate has been blowing out of the city to prevent fire.

However, there is a lot of water near Guangling City, and the place where Xiang Yan is stationed is far away, so it is difficult to cross such a wide distance from the city gate to attack.

Zhu Xiang made people confused with Kong Ming lanterns, not for the fire attack, but to send a letter.

He tied a wooden board under the Kong Ming lantern to draw pictures and write words, there are not many words, mainly pictures.

After the Kong Ming lantern burns out, even if it burns, it is difficult to burn out the damp wooden planks that are soaked in water underneath. The planks will definitely be "captured" by the Chu army.

Zhu Xiang's move is a suspicious tactic.

Xiang Yan must be wondering, how dare Zheng'er and Li Mu let themselves defend the city. Are the Qin soldiers just lying in ambush around? Has Li Mu returned to Wu County?

Seeing the light of fire in the sky above Guangling City, floating towards his barracks, he would definitely guess if this was a code he gave to the Qin soldiers of Wu County, leading the Qin soldiers to attack at night, causing Xiang Yan to be uneasy and dare not sleep peacefully.

Moreover, the pictures are all about the massacre of the city and the internal relocation.

The people in Xiang Yan's army and the "cannon fodder" who rushed into battle today must have been captured now, and the people brought before may have died almost in several sieges and the resistance of the Chu people.

Zhu Xiang wanted to incite these people to civil strife.

In the end, Zhu Xiang thought optimistically, maybe which Kong Ming lantern accidentally fell on Xiang Yan's granary, and happened to meet a responsible caretaker and burned Xiang Yan's granary?

Of course, Zhu Xiang knew that this was impossible. Xiang Yan is also a famous general of the Warring States, and it is impossible for him to not even be able to defend his granary.

Seeing the suspicious firelight, Xiang Yan would definitely order someone to shoot the firelight down.

Such a waste of Xiang Yan's arrows seems to be a gain?

After Zhu Xiang gave the order, he handed over the matter of guarding the city at night to Meng Tian, and he came back at dawn to change Meng Tian.

Before leaving, Zhu Xiang advised: "Don't rush in!" Our purpose is just to stand by and help! ”

Meng Tian said helplessly: "Uncle, I know, I won't mess around." ”

Although he was arrogant, he also knew that the main purpose now was to protect Zhu Xianggong, how dare he run around.

Zhu Xiang returned to the backyard of the temporary headquarters and slept with his head covered.

After closing his eyes, his eyes were full of corpses and a sea of blood, and he couldn't sleep at all.

But Zhu Xiang didn't say a word, and kept quietly closing his eyes to recuperate. Even if you can't sleep, you can rest your body with your eyes closed.

He said to the people of Guangling for a month at most, and he himself knew that it was only a decade. There are nine days left for him to hold on.

That night, Jiao Yun held the sword and looked up to see the Kong Ming lantern rise into the sky.

Zhu Xianggong said that it was a Kong Ming lantern, created by a craftsman named Kong Ming. They all privately call it Changping Lantern.

The fire ascends to heaven, and I wish for eternal peace.

"Jiao Yun, you also go to rest, and you can protect Zhu Xianggong tomorrow." Fuqiu's wide-sleeved Confucian dress has been replaced by narrow sleeves, and the big bow he carries behind his back is very eye-catching.

Jiao Yun said: "You rest, I'll watch." ”

Fuqiu shook his head: "It's just a sporadic attack at night, I'll guard it." Tomorrow will be a hard battle during the day, and you will have to protect Zhu Xianggong. ”

Jiao Yun no longer refused: "Okay." There are still a hundred lamps left unplaced. ”

Fuqiu said: "Leave it to me." ”

There were dozens of Confucian disciples behind Fuqiu, all of whom were carrying big bows.

Although there are crossbowmen in the army, ordinary crossbowmen are completely different from strong archers. Strong archers need to be trained from an early age and have enough nutrition to have such strength. The six arts of the gentleman include archery, Fuqiu and other Confucian scholars can pull a strong bow and take turns guarding the city wall.

When Xiang Yan was ordering troops and arranging a night attack and harassment, a scout came to report, and a strange fire floated on Guangling City.

The drowsy Nan Chujun immediately woke up and went out of the main account with Xiang Yan to check.

They saw a little light floating on the city wall of Guangling, like fireflies at night, flying towards them.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a battlefield, the scenery would have been worthy of their applause.

Nan Chujun was well-informed, and his voice still trembled when he saw this scene: "What is this?" Zhu Xianggong's immortal arts?! ”

Xiang Yan stretched out his hand: "Take my bow." ”

With a face full of fear, he shot the nearest fire with his own hands.

The flame suddenly increased, and then slowly fell.

Xiang Yan ordered someone to pick it up and picked up a burned-out paper lamp.

"Lanterns?" Xiang Yan was puzzled.

How did a lantern rise into the air? Is it really immortal?

Xiang Yan carefully looked at the remains of the lantern in his hand and saw the wooden plaque tied underneath.

With the light of the torch, Xiang Yan saw the picture on the wooden card, was shocked, and immediately ordered: "Shoot down the lantern, destroy all the wooden cards, no private collection, violators will be killed!" ”

Although he didn't know how the lantern could fly into the sky, Xiang Yan knew what Zhu Xiang wanted to do as soon as he saw the words on the wooden sign.

Nan Chujun was no longer able to think about the role of the wooden card, and only kept being frightened: "Is this an immortal technique?" Is it really immortal? Is Zhu Xianggong really an immortal? So how can we be good! ”

Xiang Yan interrupted: "With the Chu State as an enemy, even if it is an immortal, Xiang can kill it!" ”

Hearing Xiang Yan's words, Nan Chujun immediately said, "Okay, you go and kill!" ”

Xiang Yan: "......"

He really didn't want to cooperate with this traitor!

If Zhu Xiang was just an "immortal", of course he would dare to kill him.

Xiang Yan changed the topic: "Zhu Xiang's move is the second thing to hit our morale, and I am worried that he is giving a signal to the Qin army to guide them to attack at night." Intensify patrols! In case of a sneak attack! ”

The adjutant general asked, "Then are we going to attack at night today?" ”

Xiang Yan hesitated for a moment, looked up at the firelight that was still drifting, and decided to take it steady.
