A great battle lasted for a whole day, from morning to evening, until finally the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, and the southern barbarian soldiers gradually retreated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the first day alone, the number of casualties among the Dayu soldiers in Qiguan City reached as many as 50,000, one-sixth of them.

Half of them were killed in battle, half were slightly or severely wounded, and the wounded soldiers had no way to pick up their weapons and fight again in a short time.

Such a terrifying number of casualties surprised Shangguan Qiuyu, and this was because Nanban had no siege weapons.

If the Nanban had siege weapons in hand, the number of casualties in his own army would have to at least double.

Shangguan Qiuyu's side suffered such heavy casualties, but the Nanban Wuben tribe's side was greatly injured because of today's all-day strong attack, and was almost crippled.

The initial estimate of the number of casualties should be about ten times that of its own side.

After all, with such rudimentary siege equipment, under such a strong attack, the number of casualties in the siege was naturally much larger than in ordinary times.

If it weren't for the Nanban Marshal Halba and several tribal leaders who came to persuade him, Wu Ben would have attacked day and night.

"Ahh

In the camp for the wounded soldiers, there was a wail at this time, but fortunately, the barracks in Qiguan were large enough to free up enough camps to accommodate these wounded.

This kept them from sitting in the open air, otherwise the scene would have been even more tragic.

Most of them were wounded by the archers of the Nanban, who lived in the mountains all year round, and it can be said that everyone was a good hunter.

The northern captives are good at riding, the southern barbarians are good at shooting, and Dayu is not as good as the northern captives and the southern barbarians, but it can rely on its strong national strength and huge military resources to subdue the neighbors.

So that a group of tigers and wolves, only dare to hover in the periphery, but do not dare to provoke Mao Dayu, at the same time, Dayu army is good at attacking and defending, its armor is the best in the world, making it difficult for foreign people to compete with it on it.

Moreover, Dayu's army is very comprehensive, and he does not want to be like other foreign races, the north is good at riding, but not good at attacking the city, and every time he encounters a strong city, he can only look at it and sigh.

Nanban is good at shooting, although he has some experience in attacking and defending cities, but the number of Nanban tribes limits the development of Nanban.

Moreover, as long as the cavalry is allowed to get close, then the barbarians are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

I saw a soldier with dead legs, and he begged in pain for a soldier beside him who looked very similar to him:

"Brother, kill me, my brother doesn't want to live anymore. ”

When the soldier saw his brother say this, he couldn't help but hold his brother who was wailing in pain in front of him in his arms, and choked up:

"Brother, you hold back, my brother won't let you have anything to do. ”

“......”

The conversation between the two made Shangguan Qiuyu, who had just arrived, hear it clearly, and he couldn't help but walk towards the two.

Shangguan Qiuyu squatted down and checked the injured soldier, and saw that his legs were hanging on the ground and weak, and he seemed to be useless, but if the first aid was timely, there was still a chance to recover.

"How did you get it?" Shangguan Qiuyu asked.

"Major General. ”

The soldier who was holding his younger brother saw that it was Shangguan Qiuyu, and hurriedly let go of the younger brother in his arms, and was about to get up and salute.

Seeing this, Shangguan Qiuyu stopped him, shook his head and said:

"No need to be polite".

And the soldier who was originally wailing endlessly, after seeing Shangguan Qiuyu, gritted his teeth, endured the pain on his body, and didn't say a word.

"My brother, when he was carrying arrows, he accidentally fell off the city..."

Shangguan Qiuyu listened as he fed the injured soldier a pill to relieve the pain of his broken leg.

After Shangguan Qiuyu tore the wounded soldier's pants, after carefully examining it, he said to the iron beside him:

"Fetch some sticks of wood and cloth, and water. ”

Immediately, he saw that there were two medical staff next to him, and he couldn't help frowning, and said to the two:

"What are you doing here, there are so many wounded people waiting for you to heal, I can handle it here. ”

The two doctors saw Shangguan Qiuyu say this, so they hurriedly walked away, just as Shangguan Qiuyu said, there are so many wounded people here waiting for them to be treated.

On this trip, Shangguan Qiuyu and his party of 300,000 troops, all of them were pure sergeants, but they did not carry a single doctor.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many doctors left in the city and so many wounded, I am afraid that many people would have died in pain because they could not be treated, or would have been cleaned up.

At the same time, at this time, Shangguan Qiu also thought of military doctors, which have this indispensable weight for an army.

Although these veterans who have been baptized on the battlefield are disabled due to war and may not be as flexible as ordinary people in action, they are also a group of rare and valuable talents.

Soldiers are the most obedient to discipline, and their efficiency is far greater than that of ordinary people, and they are disabled, but their principle of obeying orders will always be retained.

If Shangguan Qiuyu wants to do things, he must need a group of reliable people, and for these disabled soldiers, they are exactly what Shangguan Qiuyu needs.

Although they are disabled, if Shangguan Qiuyu makes a move at this time and buys the hearts of all of them, then he will easily gain the loyalty of these soldiers.

Because, when they are physically disabled, when they go home at this time, they will inevitably become a burden to their families, and they will be despised by others if they stay alive, which is the cruelty of reality.

Although the imperial court would reward these wounded soldiers as compensation, compared to their efforts, the imperial court's reward could not compensate for their losses.

Therefore, after many soldiers are seriously injured on the battlefield, their first reaction is to choose to commit suicide, so as not to drag others down.

And this is also an unspoken rule in the army, seriously injured personnel are too burdensome for the army, in order to avoid the burden of the army.

In many cases, soldiers who are still gasping for breath but can no longer fight after their serious injuries have healed, their usual practice is to recognize someone and give them the name of death in battle.

In this way, not only the wounded soldiers can be relieved, but their families can also receive the bereavement payment from the imperial court, which is the best outcome for both parties.

Except for those generals with status, ordinary soldiers usually do this way, which is why this soldier asked his brother to kill him.

Because, even if his brother doesn't make a move, someone will come behind him to see him off.

It may have been like this before, but when Shangguan Qiuyu learned the news, he immediately rushed to the wounded barracks and stopped this practice.

Of course, he is not a, naturally he will not make a loss-making business, he needs people, and these wounded fighters are what he needs.

These wounded soldiers are a valuable asset, and he will not let them disappear from his eyes.
