Three hundred and ninetieth chapters: hard fight (ten)
A big battle had many casualties. Black smoke curled up outside the city, and a thick stinking filled the air. The city was covered with bloody corpses and wailing wounded people, all in a mess.
The pale-faced and panicked men kept carrying the bodies and wounded on the city walls, and collected weapons and arrows scattered around them.
On the city gate tower, Liu Feng, wearing armor, stood leaning against the railings, looking down at the Wei army camp in front of him.
Because the Wei army did not have a stone throwing machine or a crossbow, it was very safe here, and could also look down on the entire battlefield and take overall control. Therefore, since the war started, he has been here to issue orders.
"Report to the Lord, after statistics, our army was killed 352 people, seriously injured forty-two people, and slightly injured 530 people. This is the list."
When Liu Feng heard this number of casualties, he felt a little sad.
He opened the list and found that both the new soldiers from Wuye County were killed and seriously injured, as well as the township warriors transferred from behind. The Jinyiwei sent down was slightly injured because of iron armor protection, which did not affect the continued combat.
However, this situation was still worse than he expected. One thousand Wuye County garrisons, plus the 200 elite guards and 1,000 township warriors he brought with him, a total of more than 2,200 people. I thought that relying on these people, I could hold on for at least a few days, but I didn't expect that the number of employees would be reduced by nearly one fifth in just one morning.
Without the help of large-scale siege equipment, the defenders still fought so hard that Wuye County would be difficult to defend without foreign aid.
Liu Feng closed the booklet and sighed in his heart. After all, he was a recruit, with limited combat power and was not defeated just now. It was already thankful that he wanted to rely on them to defend Wuye County. He was a little whimsical, and he underestimated the Wei border troops outside the city.
In this way, reinforcements can only arrive early.
Just as Liu Feng was considering letting his Black Armored Army enter the field, Xiao Han's face outside the city was particularly gloomy at this moment.
"The food and supplies were burned, why don't you die!"
"God of your life, General!"
The military man kneeling on the ground kept kowtowing, his face full of fear.
"Come here, drag it out and chop it!"
Xiao Han closed his eyes, forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, and asked to the side: "How long can our food and grass last?"
"Report to the general, if you continue to attack the city, you can only last until tomorrow noon. The most important thing is herbs. Now many wounded soldiers have not been treated, which has a great blow to morale."
The officer in charge of logistics said bitterly.
This time they originally planned to raid Wuye County, but they wanted to fight a protracted war, so each of them only brought food for one day. If they didn't fight, they could save money to last for three days, but once the war started, this little food was not enough.
"Zhang Lu, you will immediately bring people to the surrounding area to collect food, and bring the villagers here together!"
A hint of cruelty appeared in Xiao Han's eyes.
"I will obey the order!"
The general who called Zhang Lu showed a hint of joy in his eyes, which was a fat man for him.
Another black-faced man saw this scene and showed a hint of jealousy in his eyes, so he also stood up and bowed: "General, the food in the surrounding villages is probably not enough for the army. The general thinks it is better to deal with the black-armored cavalry first. The general is willing to lead a cavalry to get rid of them."
The black-faced man named Li Gang was the Wei general who was responsible for pursuing Lin Matong before. He was both a partial general and Zhang Lu, and they had always been in a bad relationship.
Xiao Han looked at Li Gang with appreciation, nodded and said, "Well, I'll give you five thousand riders, go."
Li Gang's face was happy, "Abide by the order!"
After the two left, Xiao Han picked up the casualties statistics on the table and took a look, and ordered: "Each battalion will be repaired for the time being, and then attack again after two hours!"
On the other hand, Han Wu led his troops to burn the Wei army's logistics supplies and did not stay, but immediately returned to the camp.
"General, don't we really have to send troops to support Wuye County? The defenders there may not be able to stop the tens of thousands of troops of the Wei army."
Han Wu showed worries on his face.
In his opinion, it doesn’t matter if Wuye County is lost. It’s just a small county town with a population of only tens of thousands. With the current family of the Black Arc Army, it can be afforded.
But the biggest problem is that Liu Feng, the leader of the Black Armor Army, is there now, and he has no choice but to worry. Once Liu Feng has an accident, the great situation of the Black Armor Army may be destroyed.
"This is a letter sent by the lord, please take a look."
When Yang Zong was shocked when he learned that Liu Feng was surrounded in Wuye County, he almost prepared to return to the rescue. However, he received a letter from Liu Feng to ask the factory guards to stop this idea.
Han Wu took the letter and looked at it, "It seems that you have planned a lot. I am too worried. But you asked us to block the Wei army for ten days. Are there any plans here?"
Yang Zong shook his head, "Your Majesty is a very human being, and I can't figure out what he thinks, but I still have confidence to block the Wei army for ten days!"
Now that the problem of food and grass in the camp has been solved, he has no worries and can do his best to deal with the Wei army.
"Han Wu!"
"exist!"
Yang Zong looked at the sand table and his eyes were shining, "I can't use the cavalry battalion here for the time being. I'll give you a task. You must not let the Wei army transport a piece of grain to Wuye County!"
"I will obey the order!"
Han Wu bowed and replied.
"Report~"
At this time, a shout came from outside.
Yang Zong looked up and said, "Come in!"
Immediately, an officer in leather armor stepped in, "Report to General, we found that the Wei army was sweeping the villages and towns around Wuye County, and many people were captured."
"Um!"
Yang Zong's face changed, and he immediately thought that the Wei army was planning to use the people as pawns!
"Despicable, general, what should I do?"
Han Wu also thought of this. You can imagine that once these people go to the battlefield, they will have a dead end. "How about I bring people over to see if I can save some."
"Wei Jun will definitely think of this, maybe you are waiting for you to get into the trap."
Yang Zong naturally wanted to save these people, but his rationality forced him to make a cruel decision, "Just just focus on the supply team of the Wei army, send more scouts and be careful."
"yes!"
After two hours, the Wei army outside Wuye County launched an attack again. Unlike in the morning, this time, walking in front was a group of unarmed people, including old, young, women and children. Under the blade of the Wei army, they cried and approached the city wall.
"Damn it, shameless!"
On the top of the city, the county magistrate Huang Qi looked at the people below, his eyes were red and he was very sad and angry, because among those people, many of them were from Huangjia Village, and these were his relatives.
