"How many people are there?"
The city guard bowed his head and said, "It is estimated that there are nearly 10,000 people."
General Gao's eyes went dark, and he went up to the tower to look after dismounting from his horse.
He condescendingly looked down at the army formed in a square formation, and then saw that the leader was Qibi Heli, so he couldn't help swallowing.
He turned his head and said to the deputy general: "Hurry up and report to the second prince that the Jin army has come to attack the North City Gate."
Second Prince in High School: ...
He was stunned, "There are so many people in the Jin army? How could they divide the troops into two groups?"
Nusa sighed and said: "Prince, the life-extending reinforcement army is 150,000, and the Jin army has only 30,000, and it also surrendered."
At this time, at the west city gate, General Ashina led the people to retreat wave after wave of attacks. The opponent continued to reinforce, and the twenty feet that were pushed out were lost again. Not only that, but also retreated fifty feet. , or because they entered the range of the tower, the soldiers upstairs were constantly shooting arrows from top to bottom, which repelled a wave of their attacks.
The deputy general felt that this was not an option, and said to General Ashina: "General, there are too many of them, this is not an option."
Xue Gui at the side had a different opinion, and said: "Soldiers are about being able to use them, not about having a lot 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, then said: "The general is very good at using troops now. They take turns to defend and the streets are narrow. No matter how many of them there are, 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 can't keep up, and they have a steady stream of reinforcements. will be captured by them."
It's just that the other party may pay a high price.
General Ashina said: "We won't be able to last long, let someone urge reinforcements."
The deputy general and Xue Gui agreed and retreated.
General Ashina looked at An Shicheng deeply.
Man Bao came up and stood with him on the tower looking ahead.
Ashina looked at her in surprise, "Why did Master Zhou come up?"
Man Bao said: "The wounded soldiers have been dealt with, let's take a rest."
The doctor will be tired too, okay? Of course he is resting at this time.
Ashina withdrew his gaze, continued to look at the soldiers fighting ahead, and asked Zhou Man, "Master Zhou has a good idea?"
"No," Man Bao said depressedly: "The difference in the number of enemies and us is too great, unless they themselves have lost their fighting spirit, otherwise they can only grind like this."
"This is a battle of life and death. No matter how timid they are, they must stick to it, 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 should not become brave."
General Ashina was stunned for a moment and then said, "How could we be so demented?"
He said: "We are an army of benevolence and righteousness. We took down Goguryeo because it was one with the Central Plains before; The life of the common people is not easy at all, they are extravagant at the top, and there are countless corrupt officials at the bottom..."
In short, they came to accept them as one body. Didn't your majesty release all the captives after they were captured
The area around Liaodong City even used the local Tu people as rulers, so how could they massacre the city
Man Bao said: "Then let's tell these reasons, and persuade those soldiers, serving as a soldier for Goguryeo is a soldier, and serving as a soldier for our Dajin is also a soldier. Our military pay is more than theirs, and the food is better than theirs. I don't want to It is very generous to be a soldier and still go home.”
General Ashina thought about it for a while, and felt that although this method was a bit nonsense, he did not have any reinforcements to use right now. Anyway, there would always be a truce, so it would be better to discuss it during the truce.
So he passed on the word.
The Goguryeo army made another attack. After half an hour, everyone gradually stopped and each retreated a few steps. With the scattered checkpoints in the middle, they advanced another dozen steps.
Because these ten or so 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, the two sides guarded each other with their spears, and their respective people went forward to check, and quickly dragged their wounded soldiers over and sent them to the rear for treatment.
Occasionally, the Jin army would pull out Goguryeo's wounded soldiers, and they would push them over there without doing anything.
Goguryeo will also throw the wounded soldiers of the Jin army pulled out to them.
Everyone exchanged the wounded soldiers tacitly, and then sat down to rest.
Yuan Yi has also learned to behave well, knowing that it is not good to change the striker wave after wave, so after each wave of attack, he slightly changes the soldiers behind him, but not completely, so this side also needs to rest.
A little flag took out dry food to eat, his hands were still shaking a little, not because he was afraid, but because he was tired. Since yesterday morning, he has been participating in the battle, and he has been able to rest every half an hour since the early morning. It's been half an hour, but I can't really fall asleep.
Maybe because of too much force, the hands are shaking a little at this time.
He took a mouthful of dry food, looked at the Goguryeo soldiers not far away, and asked with a sigh: "You don't eat dry food?"
Goguryeo soldiers glanced at him, but did not answer.
Xiao Qi changed his language, "You are not Han, are you from Buyeo?"
The other party still ignored him, "No way, isn't this Goguryeo? Then you speak Buyeo? You can't be a native, can you?"
He awkwardly changed another language, but he was not proficient, and he still cursed, "Your mother, your mother."
The Goguryeo soldiers looked at him silently, and heard him saying "Your mother, your mother" in various dialects. Man Bao came up to deliver salt water to them so that they would not lose their strength. By the way, check their condition. When it failed, he replaced it quietly. Hearing this, he couldn't help but read along curiously, and then asked, "What do you mean by that?"
A Goguryeo soldier finally couldn't help it. The main thing Zhou Man saw was a girl's house. It had been a long time since dawn, and everyone knew that there was a good-looking lady in the Jin army who was a doctor, who specialized in treating wounded soldiers of the Jin army.
At this time, their hearts were complicated, especially when they saw Zhou Man coming up to bring them water, they couldn't help but replied in Chinese, "Your mother."
Man Bao was upset, "Why are you swearing?"
Xiao Qi was pleasantly surprised, "You are Han Chinese, brother, where are you from?"
Then he turned his head and said to Zhou Man: "Master Zhou, he didn't scold you, those words meant 'your mother'."
Man Bao: "...Why do you want to learn this sentence? Shouldn't learning dialects start with 'Have you eaten?'?"
Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment and then said: "I don't know, our Zongqi taught us."
General Banner who has been sitting on the sidelines in a daze to rest: …
