Chapter 39: Return to the city
Hongshan finally rushed back with a large army, and watched it from a distance outside Hongcheng. As far as the eye can see, there are traces of war everywhere. There are still a lot of arrows inserted in some city walls, and the walls are dyed red, as if silently telling the tragedy of this place at that time.
The closer you get to Hongcheng, the more dirt there is, scattered with broken weapons, or severed limbs and flesh of human beings. Shocking, it was too late to clean up after staying there. Hong Shan understood that there were too many things to deal with in the city, and these were automatically ignored by everyone.
The guards have already notified Hong Mi in advance and summoned everyone to wait in the conference hall. After Hongshan and his entourage rode through the city gate and entered Hongcheng, their mood was even heavier. Although he was halfway there, he had already received a battle report from Hong Mi, and knew that he had just experienced a big battle. But after seeing a lot of wounded and sick people, my eyes couldn't help but turn red.
He shouted, "All dismount and walk into the city." ”
"City Lord."
"City Lord, you're back."
All of a sudden, many soldiers from various tribes and some tribesmen spontaneously gathered around. looked at Hong Shan excitedly, and after seeing the city lord come back with the army, he felt that he had the backbone.
"City Lord, you want to avenge us, the warriors of our tribe, there are only so many people left." A wounded soldier took Hong Shan's arm and howled in a heart-rending manner, and behind him, stood a few clansmen, his tears already dried for his compatriots.
Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone in the city, Hong Shan choked up: "Please rest assured, take care of your injuries first." When the time comes, I will definitely take everyone with me to avenge this, I swear. ”
Hong Shan quickened his pace and walked towards the meeting hall, afraid that he would not be able to control his anger, so he would now lead his troops to the enemy camp outside the city.
As soon as I arrived at the conference hall, I saw everyone standing at the door spontaneously, smiling and looking eagerly at themselves. couldn't help but sour his nose: "Everyone has worked hard, let's all go in, it's cold outside." At the end, he opened his arms and gently pulled everyone inside.
After entering, sitting inside, looking at the familiar faces, Hong Shan felt sour again: "This time I didn't arrange it, so you were tired during this time." After saying that, he stood up and bowed deeply.
Waving his hand for everyone to sit down and accept their apologies.
Then entering the main topic of the meeting, Hong Shan first pointed to the outside of the city and said to Hong Mi and his sister Muna: "The corpses of those enemy soldiers outside should be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a plague." ”
My sister Mna was puzzled: "We used to leave the enemy alone after every battle, and if we left it there, we could make the land more fertile." ”
"Yes, I understand. Before, it was in the wild, and there was no problem with the tribe. Now this is our Hongcheng, so close, when the plague comes, we will be the first to be unlucky. Hong Shan patiently explained, and told them how to deal with it, this matter should be arranged immediately.
Hong Mi and his sister saw that this matter was very important, otherwise Hong Shan would not have talked about this first as soon as he came back, and urged him to deal with it.
Hong Mi immediately called his own soldiers, explained to him, first organized people to implement it, and then went over after his own meeting.
Hong Shan asked his sister Mu Na if there were enough people on the ambulance team's side. I was very happy to learn that many women from the tribe had volunteered to help.
He also asked, what is the reserve of these Chinese herbs such as Panax notoginseng and white grass root that can dissolve blood stasis and stop bleeding, and can they meet the demand? Knowing these commonly used Chinese herbal medicines, my sister Muna has been preparing them every day according to her own requirements, so it is enough.
Now this time of the Chinese herbal medicine, because there is no contamination. Hong Shan knew that the effect was very good.
People's problems are the first concern of Hongshan, and when he sees that everything here is in order, he is relieved. Because there were many tribes that lacked clothes and medicine, and there was no concept of after-the-fact care. As a result, many of the tribal warriors who were injured after the war died in this way.
The person in charge of the Ministry of Construction knew about Hongshan, and then he wanted to pay attention to the construction of Hongcheng Defense, so he took the initiative to report the progress of the current stage.
First of all, it was suggested that the watchtower outside the city should be built in the last step, and the fortifications inside the city should be completed first.
This suggestion is good, and Hongshan will definitely agree.
Because the manpower in Hongcheng is sufficient now, the Ministry of Construction will repair more than half of the city wall, and strive to speed up the completion within half a year. The raw materials are sufficient, and there are large patches of stones in the back mountain. The rest of the people are in Hongcheng, and the four corners are first built after the catapult platform, and then there are several watchdog towers.
The platform was built quickly and was simple in structure. Simultaneous construction, it can be completed in one week and delivered to the catapult fleet.
Because Hong Mi saw that the catapult was effective, he sent someone to report to Hong Shan. It is planned to build several high platforms on the four walls of the city, on which catapults will be placed. In this way, it can be put to a longer distance and expand the defensive surface of Hongcheng.
He and the head of the catapult, Dashan, calculated the number of catapults that needed to be safeguarded for each high platform. Ten large catapults, the kind that put big fat people, can withstand the attack of an army of 3,000 people.
There is no problem on the side of the city defense army, and they have been guarding the four walls step by step. In this defensive battle, a great role was played.
Especially in the dark passage, when he met the Northern Alliance Army on the narrow road, his fierce style of not fearing death shocked the whole army. Now when everyone sees them, they all give them a thumbs up.
Therefore, the largest casualty ratio this time is also the city defense army. Hong Mi has already selected some elite reinforcements from the reserve army in Hongcheng.
The spy army Daga reflected that now the Northern Tribal Alliance Army has newly established a spy company. The mode is all learned, our reconnaissance company, performing reconnaissance, decapitation and other tasks. They led the disturbance of the Hongcheng prisoners of war this time, and caused a lot of damage.
The leader found out, and it turned out to be an old rival who ran in the Delhi Canyon, the Dragon.
"No wonder," is so familiar with us, and can restrain each other every time, Hong Shan also admires his brain a little.
Hong Shan calculated the time, and in a few days, Chi Long's father, and the Chi You Jiuli tribe will soon arrive. There are also six armies that went to attack the Yellow Emperor tribe and the Yandi tribe, and they are almost coming back to converge. At that time, the alliance army of the northern tribes will be lively, and will gather about 100,000 troops.
Now on the reconnaissance company's side, Hong Heizi is following Hong Shan's instructions to keep a close eye on the Northern Tribal Alliance Army during this time, and timely count their new troops every day. And what tribes are on the way, how many people are there, etc.
Hong Shan has been thinking about whether to send gifts to them, which is lively. Come and go without being a gentleman, Hong Shan has always been a hospitable and good boy.
This war is not for you to set up camp, we have to stay in Hongcheng obediently. Since you are dragging your feet, waiting for the reinforcements from all walks of life to gather together, and then find a way to deal with Hongcheng, then I, Hongshan, will help you.
So at this meeting, I didn't see a few cavalry commanders, and they were all busy outside.
After the meeting ended, Hongshan was habitual again and came to the top of Yushan Mountain.
Every time I stand here and look into the distance, I give Hongshan a different feeling. took out the traverser No. 1 in his arms, and said to himself: "Labor and management are wondering, after you instilled these thousands of civilizations in me, you don't care." I didn't ask for anything, told me what to do and what not to do. And not to mention any specific instructions, to point out the maze. ”
Hong Shan sat there depressed, his head empty. Boredom looked at some of the tribes below, where there was a puff of light smoke, and everyone was cooking on the fire. Just quietly in a daze, I didn't bother to think about anything.
Wait, Hong Shan suddenly thought that the current dynasty, the Yu Dynasty, has always had no written records and things left in later generations.
Therefore, archaeologists in later generations have been doubting whether there really was a Yu Dynasty that appeared before the Xia Dynasty. It is said that the Yu Dynasty has existed for 1,500 years and there are fifteen Yellow Emperors, so what about the remnants of the Yu Dynasty.
The history of Chinese civilization can be checked, it began from the Xia Dynasty, and every subsequent dynasty is, there are clear information to check and corroborate.
And Traverser One, for so long, has not given himself clear hints and guidance. It's because they don't know how to tell themselves and what to do. You can only let yourself grope forward, and then, and then what? Thinking of this, Hong Shan's head was big again, and he didn't bother to think about the reason.
When things are at the worst they will mend.
At the very least, every time I promote the progress of civilization, Traverser No. 1 will get different rewards for myself according to the content, which is real.
Thinking of this, Hong Shan felt that his archery skills had not improved for a while. Why don't you go to the Northern Tribal Alliance Army tonight to refresh your mind and collect some interest first.
So he took the guard company all the way down the mountain and just got out of Hongcheng. The entire guard company was forcibly ordered by Hong Shan to wait for him here, and those who disobeyed military law were engaged.
Hong Shan did not ride a horse and wore close-up black. He only brought the two-hundred-pound tendon and horn bow, and the large quiver behind it was filled with arrows of different clusters.
About twenty miles from the target camp, Hulajan listened to Chi Long's advice and camped far away from Hongcheng. There are hills nearby, catapults can't transport them, and cavalry can't charge quickly here, but it's quite safe.
This distance is very easy for Hongshan. Since every time he led his troops into battle, Hong Shan's personal physical fitness and command power have been improved.
Hong Shan has always felt that the person who designed this Traveler No. 1 must have a preference for bows and arrows. Because in cold weapons, you can only get rewards by using bows and arrows.
Bonus with increased sight range: allows you to see farther and see your target more clearly. Bonus for growing strength: Allows you to shoot a bow with a larger pound. Agility bonus: Makes you shoot faster with each arrow, and keeps repeating like an arrow.
Due to the frequent wars recently, Hongshan's archery skills have also been greatly improved. Now this two-hundred-pound rib bow can be easily controlled. The left and right hands can shoot 300 arrows each, and they will shoot without mercy.
I've always wanted the craftsman workshop to help me build a tendon angle bow with a larger pound, but the raw materials are a big problem, and I didn't find the right one.
The current Hongshan, at a distance of about 200 meters, has been able to accurately hit the target and hit every 100 shots. Coupled with the special arrow cluster, there is no pressure to penetrate the target. Thanks to the development of the brain, people's agility and reflexes have also increased correspondingly, and it is no problem to deal with multiple at a time, and the specific number has not yet had a chance to try.
Let's try it from a distance tonight.
