Fei Zhong stood on the high city wall and stared coldly at the white-clothed teams passing by under the city. It was the medical team of Wuwei. Of course, there were also people from Jicheng below, and they were all doing the same thing, that was, to find the injured people on their side and take them away. Even the bodies were carried back.

At this time, no matter whether it is on or under the city, there will be no attacks on these people.

The rescue team in Wuwei was obviously more well-trained and more prepared. Whenever they found a living wounded soldier from the pile of corpses, they could immediately start and rescue them. Every white-clothed person carried the medicine box with them, which contained all the first aid supplies and medicines needed. Whenever such a person was rescued, they would happily carry him away.

The bodies of the dead in battle will only be taken away in the end.

On the other hand, Jicheng is too far away. Not only are there a shortage of medicines, but there are also such medical staff.

A gust of cold wind came, and Fei Zhong shivered and wrapped his fur tighter. The battle in Jicheng had been fighting intermittently for almost two months, and now it was the end of January. After a long battle, the soldiers and civilians in Jicheng had already become numb.

This numbness is not only psychologically, but also physiologically. Because the things that can be used to keep warm in Jicheng have basically been burned out. But now it is the coldest season in the whole winter. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as dripping water into ice in the city.

The reason why Fei Zhong allowed the Wuwei army to clean up the battlefield after the battle, find the wounded and carry back the bodies of the dead was because Shi Zhuang promised him that after each battle, they would open up for a day, and the people of Jicheng would go out of the city to cut off firewood for a day to keep warm.

Fei Zhong had no choice but to agree.

He did not dare to let the elite soldiers in the city go out to chop wood. Even if they were more efficient, no one could guarantee that when he sent most of the elite soldiers out to chop wood one day, Shi Zhuang would not suddenly repent and launch an attack. Therefore, every time he went out, he was an ordinary person, and the father did not give birth to his son, and his wife did not give birth to his husband.

After today's war is over, tomorrow, his subordinates can leave the city and cut down trees for a day, and come out when the rooster crows, but they have to return to the city before dark. Otherwise, those who stay outside the city will never have a chance to come back. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer trees around Jicheng. They need to go further, but the firewood they bring back is getting less and less.

But in winter, there is still a long time left.

Frozen to death is no longer a news in the city. If there was no news about the news about the freezing to death that day, Fei Zhong would have been surprised for a long time.

Heavy footsteps came from beside him. Fei Zhong did not look back and asked directly: "Hancheng, what about the casualties today?"

"General, there are not many casualties. The total number of casualties is only more than 200 people. However, the Wuwei soldiers suffered a small loss today, and the casualties are estimated to be more than 500 people." Zhu Hancheng sniffed and replied: "It was just that a piece of the city wall was smashed by their trenchers. The last one blocked it with a sandbag, poured it on water, and then iced it overnight, which was no worse than before."

"Four or five hundred people, hehe." Fei Zhong sighed: "Today, in a month, Shi Zhuang will come to fight every five days on average. Have you noticed that nearly twenty of the generals of the attacking Wuwei soldiers appeared."

Zhu Hancheng was slightly stunned: "I really didn't care about this. Are you saying they are in a rotation battle? We are not in a rotation battle the same."

"It's different." Fei Zhong looked up at the camp in Shi Zhuang in the distance. It was a road of five miles away from Jicheng. In the past few months, Shi Zhuang had built his camp into a permanent camp. The intensity of defense was not necessarily much worse than Jicheng. Jicheng attacked many times and sneak attacks, and returned in disgrace in front of this camp.

"What's the difference?" Zhu Hancheng asked in confusion.

"We have become water without a source and a tree without a root. There are only so many people in the city, with a total of more than 50,000 people. Apart from Ziru, the young and strong people can be up to 30,000. If one fights, only one less. Even if all the members become skilled and experienced soldiers because of this battle, what's the use? There is only one. On the other side," Fei Zhong pointed to the other party: "They are training troops!"

Zhu Hancheng's face twitched.

"Shi Zhuang has drawn Yizhou, Dingzhou, and even Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou's prefecture soldiers to fight us one after another. The earliest ones were the prefecture soldiers in Zhenzhou, but this month, they basically didn't see their shadows, so I was afraid they would have returned home long ago." Feizhou smiled bitterly: "Press up the formation with elite soldiers, and then let the prefecture soldiers attack in turn. Shi Zhuang is training us for troops!"

Zhu Hancheng was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "What the hell do they want to do?"

"It's simple!" Fei Zhong said: "Li Ze has already regarded us as fish on the felt board, it depends on when he wants to eat us. The reason why he dragged it like this is to train us, and the second is that he doesn't want to pay too much casualties to conquer a big city like Jicheng. Third, it's probably related to the overall situation of the world."

"What does this have to do with the overall situation of the world?" Zhu Hancheng was puzzled.

"The Zhaoyi Rebellion will inevitably trigger a chain reaction. I can't figure out what Li Ze is thinking about now." Fei Zhong was also a little puzzled: "Normal, he should solve us as quickly as possible, and then station troops to look south. Otherwise, the Zhaoyi Rebellion will inevitably cause chaos in the whole world, and Chang'an Heluo will also be shaky, but he seems to be deliberately indulging in this situation now. Tell me, what exactly does he want to do?"

Zhu Hancheng blinked his eyes and said, "Military Fei, what's the problem with this? People like Li Ze may hope that the world will be in chaos and he can benefit from it. If Chang'an really collapses, it might be a good thing for him."

Fei Zhong's body was slightly shocked, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Yes, yes, that's true. I was confused. Li Ze's performance has always been cheated of me. I really thought he was a loyal lackey of the court. It must be so. He has already gained enough benefits from Chang'an. Now his wings are hard enough. The world is in chaos. Naturally, he has the excuse to compete for the world. If Chang'an is safe and sound, how could he bear to let the reputation of loyal ministers and filial sons he has tried his best to create is damaged? If Chang'an is gone, he can justify the shackles!"

"It must be so. A guy like Li Ze is a truly sinister person!" Zhu Hancheng said angrily. "But Military Advisor Fei, even if we are in trouble now, he is not able to control it at will. He is looking at people through the cracks in the door and looking at people. When we break his big teeth, we can see if he can still laugh."

Fei Zhong had no expression and said after a while: "Hancheng, if Wuwei attacked with all his strength, how long can Jicheng last?"

"Mr. Zhu, Jicheng still has 30,000 elite troops, and food and grass are enough. Although the guerrilla troops we placed outside the city no longer exist, Jicheng can definitely be defended before the food and grass is consumed. The only difficulty now is that the weather is too cold, and all the things that can be demolished and burned in the city have been demolished and burned. Now, even making a bite of hot food has become a problem." Zhu Hancheng said.

"So, we can't sit and wait for death." Fei Zhong said: "For the past month, the Wuwei soldiers have set up traps near Guancheng to lure us to rescue. Whether it is Pingzhou or Jicheng, they have suffered a great loss. Fortunately, our police feel that it is too early and is not deceived, so they still have a certain strength. But if this continues, we still can't hold on."

"Military Fei, are we going to break through?"

"It's not a breakthrough, it's a decisive battle!" Fei Zhong suddenly smiled: "Ten days ago, I had sent my confidants to sneak out of the city to Guancheng, and then went to Pingcheng, and made an appointment with the three places to send troops together. The target was Wang Sili's troops between us and Guancheng. Deng Jingshan in Pingcheng sent troops to restrain Liu Chenglin's main force, and Guancheng attacked us Cao Xin and Wang Sili. "

"Where is Shi Zhuang?"

"The key is to deceive Shi Zhuang. Even if it can be delayed for a day," Fei Zhong said: "Tonight, our troops will leave the city in batches."

"How could Shi Zhuang not notice these?"

"For the past month, I have been preparing for this opportunity." Fei Zhong said: "Tomorrow is the day when we go out of the city to log. From tonight, the army began to leave the city in batches. In the past, we have tried many times, but they didn't care too much. It just assumed that the distance between logging was getting farther and farther away, so the earlier we left the city. I have made arrangements that between noon tomorrow, 20,000 people will leave the city one after another, and you, leading these 20,000 people to head straight to Guancheng. I am in Jicheng, and I will buy you a day."

Looking up at the weather, Fei Zhong smiled and said, "In such weather, the distance between one day is one day, and Shi Zhuang cannot catch up with you. What's more, maybe I can buy you a little longer in Jicheng. Ten thousand young men, maybe I can buy you two days in Jicheng!"

"Military Fei, why not leave the city, I will defend the city." Zhu Hancheng said in a trembling voice.

"My body may die faster after leaving the city. Besides, I'm here. If Shi Zhuang doesn't destroy me, how can I leave with confidence?" Fei Zhong smiled and said, "Although I'm like this, after the tiger who goes down the mountain, he will still be a tiger. He will never become a cat, and he will never be bullied by a dog."

Zhu Hancheng's mouth trembled and he didn't say anything else.
