Four hundred and three They are much tougher than we think
The aftermath work on the city continued. Wu Anxiang and Jiang Liangping were already sitting together. Looking at the orange-red Wanyang that was about to disappear, the two of them didn't speak for a while.
It should be Wu Anxiang who opened up the conversation. Anyway, when Jiang Liangping reacted, it was Wu Anxiang who was talking.
"Today, we lost 231 soldiers. Of course, many were injured, but the injured had been properly placed. Many people could survive, but those who died in battle could not survive.
Among the soldiers who died in battle, I can know exactly who they were. Their bodies could match the numbers and had been pulled down and cremated. The ashes would be kept in the jar. When they were handed over to their families after the war, their families would receive generous pensions.
But what made me a little sad was that there were eleven people left. I knew who they were and found most of the corpses, but I didn’t know which corpse belonged to which one…”
When Wu Anxiang said this, he couldn't help laughing dryly for a few times, turning his head to look at Jiang Liangping.
"Liangping, you said, if we burn their bodies wrongly and the jar contains other people's ashes, then when the family burns paper money for them during festivals, they should be unhappy, right?"
Jiang Liangping pursed his lips and pulled a smile out of the corner of his mouth.
"No, they are all good soldiers of the Restoration Army. They will not be unhappy. Even if they get there, they will join in together, have money, spend together, eat together, eat together.
If you have to fight and fight with those ignorant people, then the people who have made the most contributions will give you a meal, and they will not forget our rules."
Wu Anxiang felt a lot more relieved when he heard Jiang Liangping say this.
"Yes, our soldiers, even if they get there, will still be people who will be united and not bullied. One person has money to spend, and they will never let the other person starve and freeze... Besides, ashes are mixed with ashes, and they are as close as a family, and they cannot be separated..."
Wu Anxiang sniffed, was silent for a while before speaking again: "This battle has been fought for more than ten days, right?"
"Well, today is the eleventh day."
"How long do you think we can hold on?"
"This...is going to ask them."
Jiang Liangping looked in a certain direction, Wu Anxiang turned his head and looked along Jiang Liangping's gaze.
It was a battle squad gathered at the top of the city to eat a large piece of meat. The head of the squad was cutting a thick piece of meat from a large piece of barbecue with his dagger, and handing the piece of meat to a young-looking little warrior.
The young soldier took the piece of meat and couldn't wait to bite it, but the squad leader gently patted his head.
"Stupid! You can't eat like this! Eating meat like this is soulless! Look at me!"
The troupe, who looked a few years older than this young soldier, cut the dough in his hand into half from the middle, then cut off a piece of meat and stuffed it into the middle of the two doughs, grabbed it, bit it, and looked full of satisfaction.
"Do you understand? This is the way to eat it with a soul! Meat is a good thing, so you should know how to eat meat! Don't eat it randomly! Learn more and don't slander this piece of meat!"
The team members suddenly realized that they followed the class to cut the bread in their hands, then grabbed the meat, opened their mouths and bit off a large piece of them in one bite, and their cheeks were bulging like a fool hamster collecting food everywhere for the winter.
The young soldier asked the team leader while chewing.
"Boss, what do you mean just now? What are you who have souls but no souls? Why don't I understand?"
The soldiers looked at the squad together.
Ban Tou chewed the things in his mouth and slowly opened his mouth.
"Don't you understand?" This is what Su Shuai told me. I was a recruit at that time. Once when I was eating meat together, Su Shuai sat beside me. Seeing me eating meat, Su Shuai said that this was a soulless way to eat it and said that I can't eat meat.
It’s true that I haven’t eaten meat a few times before joining the army, and I can’t remember the taste of meat. So I asked Su Shuai what is the way to eat meat with soul. Su Shuai cut a bread with his own hands, stuffed a piece of meat in, handed it to me, and let me eat it, that’s it.”
The head of the Ban bit another bite of the meat on the bread on his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't understand what it means to have a soul or not, but since Su Shuai eats meat like this, I will eat it like this, so it's definitely right."
The soldiers nodded, feeling that the troupe was right.
Then one of the soldiers discovered a beautiful spot.
"Boss, then, have you eaten the meat on the bread made for you by Su Shuai?"
"Hehe, I just noticed it?"
Banting suddenly laughed and said with a smug look: "It's the bread and meat made by Su Shuai for me by himself. Tell you that there are not many people in the army who have such treatment! I am one of them!"
A group of young soldiers surrounded the troupe, their eyes full of envy.
Their faces could not see the fatigue left behind after the war, but they could see the uplifting spirit.
Seeing this, Wu Anxiang thoughtful, and then looked at Jiang Liangping who was smiling at their mouths.
"you mean?"
"They are looking for a more interesting way to eat meat. If you think like this, it means that they are much more tenacious than we think. Instead of worrying about whether they can persist, it is better to worry about whether we can persist by ourselves. If we can't persist by relying on them alone, we can't persist by perseverance."
Jiang Liangping patted his cheek with both hands: "Okay, let's have something to eat, there will be fierce battles tomorrow. We must stick to it until we completely defeat those bastards."
Wu Anxiang took a deep breath.
"Yes, there are more and more fierce battles. In any case, we must survive until Alang leads his troops back from counterattack!"
Wu Anxiang clenched his fists, followed Jiang Liangping, and got off the city wall.
In the next three days, Wanyan Liang mobilized 100,000 soldiers to launch five attacks. Each time it was a huge momentum and came in full force, as if he wanted to swallow the entire Hejian City in one bite.
However, under the resolute resistance of the Restoration Army, the Jin army did not take any advantage. They were either blown into pieces by Thunder Cannons or howls with the golden toppings.
Flying muskets kept spitting fire, crossbows kept firing arrows, huge rocks, and big arrows kept firing, and the inside and outside the city were red.
After all, Hejian City was not captured by the Jin army in one go. Instead, it became more tenacious and tenacious, and kept the Jin army out of the city.
The Jin soldiers did not advance in an incoming manner.
Wanyan Benji was helpless, so he used more classic and effective traditional tactics, such as digging tunnels, and setting up earthen walls outside the city.
However, the tunnel tactics were ineffective and were soon exposed by the Light Restoration Army using Tingwen. The soldiers in the tunnel were choked to death by the thick smoke, and the tunnel tactics were declared to be defeated.
The earth wall tactics are similar.
The Jin army tried to raise earthen walls outside the city, and used the same height and number of crossbowmen who surpassed the Restoration Army to suppress the crossbowmen of the Restoration Army at the front of the city to support the siege troops under the city. However, the Restoration Army used rockets to blow up the earthen walls, and the earthen walls could not rise at all.
After the power is enhanced, the firearm has a very lethality to the earth wall, which is something that the Jin army did not expect.
Wanyan Benji used up all his methods and failed to gain the upper hand in the offensive and defensive battle. Faced with the Liberation Army's vow to fight to the death, the Jin army was not allowed to advance.
