The city guard lowered his head and said, "It is estimated that there are nearly ten thousand people."
General Gao's vision went dark. After dismounting, he went directly to the tower to take a look.
He looked down at the local troops forming a square formation, and then saw that the leader was Qibi Heli, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He turned to the deputy general and said, "Hurry and report to the second prince that the Jin army is coming to attack the north gate."
The second-year high school prince:......
He was confused, "There are so many people in the Jin army? How can they be divided into two groups?"
Nesa sighed and said: "Prince, Yanshou's reinforcements were 150,000, but the Jin army surrendered when they only had 30,000."
At this time, at the west city gate, General Ashina led his men to fight off wave after wave of attacks. The other party was constantly reinforcing them. The twenty feet they pushed out were lost again. Not only that, they also retreated fifty feet.
, or because they entered the shooting range of the tower, the soldiers upstairs were shooting arrows from top to bottom, and they were able to repulse a wave of attacks.
The deputy general felt that this was not an option, and said to General Ashina: "General, there are too many of them, so this is not an option."
Xue Gui on the side had a different view, saying: "Soldiers depend on their ability to use them, not on the number of them."
General Ashina glanced at him and said, "How do you think people should be employed?"
Xue Gui lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying: "General, it is very good to use troops now. They take turns to guard. The streets are narrow. No matter how many they have, they can only come up so many at a time."
General Ashina shook his head and said: "But our people have been fighting continuously for a day and a night. Even if they take turns to rest, their energy and physical strength cannot keep up. And they have a steady stream of reinforcements. If things go on like this, even if the city gate is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it will always be difficult to attack."
They will capture it."
It’s just that the price the other party may pay is very high.
General Ashina said: "We can't hold on for long, let's send someone to urge reinforcements."
The deputy general and Xue Gui agreed and retreated.
General Ashina looked at Anshi City with a deep look.
Man Bao walked up and stood on the tower with him, looking ahead.
Ashina looked at her in surprise, "Why are Master Zhou here?"
Man Bao said: "The wounded soldiers have been taken care of, let's take a rest."
The doctor will also be tired, okay? Of course he needs to rest at this time.
Ashina withdrew his gaze, continued to look at the soldiers fighting in front, and asked Zhou Man, "Does Mr. Zhou have any good ideas?"
"No," Man Bao said depressingly: "There is a huge difference in the number of enemies and ourselves. Unless they themselves have lost their fighting spirit, they can only grind like this."
"This is a battle of life and death. No matter how timid they are, they must persevere, and sometimes there is only a thin line between timidity and bravery."
Man Bao said: "As long as you don't shout about massacring the city and killing prisoners after attacking the city, cowardice shouldn't turn into bravery."
General Ashina was stunned for a moment and then said: "How could we be so insane?"
He said: "We are an army of benevolence and righteousness. We took Goguryeo because, firstly, it was integrated with the Central Plains; secondly, the royal family of Goguryeo was disrespectful to His Majesty and neglected the court; thirdly, they kept harassing the border; and fourthly, because they ruled under
The life of the common people is not easy, there is so much extravagance at the top, and there are countless corrupt officials below..."
In short, they are here to accept them as one body. Didn’t you see that Your Majesty released all the prisoners he could after taking them?
The Liaodong City area even used local Tu people as officials, so how could they massacre the city?
Man Bao said: "Then let us tell you these reasons and advise those soldiers that they should serve as soldiers for Goguryeo and as soldiers for our Jin Dynasty. Our military pay is more than theirs and our food is better than theirs. Don't want to
You can go home as a soldier, which is very generous."
General Ashina thought for a while and felt that although this method was a bit nonsense, he did not have reinforcements available now. There would have to be a truce in the middle anyway, so it was better to talk about it during the truce.
So he passed on the message.
The Goguryeo army launched another wave of attacks. After half an hour, everyone gradually stopped and each retreated a few steps. Blocking the scattered checkpoints, they advanced another dozen steps.
Because these ten steps were hard-won, they would not retreat too much. Of course, the Jin army could not retreat too much. What if they took the opportunity to rush forward?
Therefore, both sides held spears to guard each other. Their respective men stepped forward to check, and quickly dragged their wounded soldiers over and sent them to the rear for treatment.
The Jin army would occasionally find wounded soldiers from Goguryeo, but they would just push them over there without doing anything.
Goguryeo would also throw the wounded Jin soldiers they pulled out to them.
Everyone exchanged wounded soldiers in a tacit understanding, and then everyone sat down to rest.
Yuan Yi also learned well and knew that it was not good to change the front line one after another. Therefore, after each wave of attacks, he slightly changed the soldiers following him, but did not completely replace them, so they also needed to rest.
A small flag took out dry food and ate it. His hands were shaking a little. It was not because he was afraid, but because he was tired. He had been participating in the battle since yesterday morning. From early morning to now, he could rest every half an hour.
Half an hour passed, but I couldn't really fall asleep.
Maybe because of too much exertion, my hands were shaking a little at this time.
He took a bite of dry food, looked at the Goguryeo soldiers not far away, sighed and asked, "Don't you eat dry food?"
The Goguryeo soldiers glanced at him and did not answer.
Xiaoqi changed the language and said, "You are not Han, are you from Fuyu?"
The other party still ignored him, "No, isn't it Goguryeo? Then you speak Buyeo dialect? You can't be a native speaker, right?"
He awkwardly changed to another language, but he was very unskilled and still cursed, "Your mother, your mother."
The Goguryeo soldiers looked at him silently and heard him chanting "Your mother, your mother" in various dialects. Man Bao came up to bring them salt water to prevent them from losing strength. He also checked their condition by the way. If they were strong enough
When it didn't work, he quietly changed it. Hearing this, he couldn't help but curiously recited it, and then asked: "What does this mean?"
A Goguryeo soldier finally couldn't bear it anymore. The main reason was that Zhou Man was a girl. It had been a long time since dawn and everyone knew that there was a beautiful lady in the Jin army who was a doctor and specialized in treating the wounded soldiers of the Jin army.
At this time, they felt complicated. Especially when they saw Zhou Man coming up to bring them water, they couldn't help but reply in Chinese, "Your mother."
Man Bao was unhappy, "Why are you scolding people?"
Xiaoqi was pleasantly surprised, "You are Han, brother, where are you from?"
Then he turned to Zhou Man and said, "Mr. Zhou, he didn't scold you. Those words just meant 'your mother'."
Man Bao: "...Why do you want to learn this sentence? Shouldn't learning dialects start with 'Have you eaten?'
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment and then said: "I don't know, our boss Qi taught us."
Zong Qi, who has been sitting on the edge and resting in a daze:...
