"Alas, the body of the Ergou who lived with me yesterday is now buried somewhere."
"Isn't that right? My neighbor who moved in with me is Da Zhuang. His family has a 61-year-old mother to support. He is not married yet. He has children and so on. He will die this time."
"These people in Shu don't think of us people in southern Xinjiang as human beings. Of the 80,000 people, 30,000 of them died in just one day. I wonder if the remaining 50,000 of us can survive his 10,000 or 20,000." It’s still a problem.”
"Stop talking, those Shu barbarians are here, be careful if they catch you and execute you on the spot."
Inside the large tent of Wang Fang's army, he was discussing matters with several generals at this time.
"General, after yesterday's day's siege, the number of casualties in our army has reached 30,000. If this consumption continues, I am afraid that our cannon fodder army will have been exhausted before the county city is conquered." A general in charge of the cannon fodder army stood up and frowned. Said Bu Zhan.
"This is indeed a problem. Let's do this. Let's use up the local cannon fodder here, and then use the cannon fodder from the six counties of Shu. We will stop when the number of cannon fodder for the two of them drops to 20,000. The remaining cannon fodder will be used up. These people below are all elite, and they cannot be wasted like this." Wang Fang said in a calm voice, but the order he issued was extremely cold.
Presumably the policy has been decided, and all that's left is execution. Gradually they walked out of the camp and went to their respective subordinate camps to mobilize soldiers and arrange for battle.
"Listen, you only need to fight in the last two battlefields, and then you won't have to fight in the entire county's war." A captain in charge of the cannon fodder regiment said loudly, causing a burst of cannon fodder around him. talk.
"Really? As long as we go to the battlefield twice, we won't have to participate in these tragic sieges anymore."
"You can't lie to us, right? They have so many good intentions, but even so, I will seize this opportunity and work hard to survive."
"Mom, I finally have hope to come back. I miss your cooking so much."
…
All the discussions were restrained by the chief, who ordered them to form a fighting formation, pick up weapons and put on armor, and prepare to serve as cannon fodder again and attack the county.
But this time, it was obvious that their eyes were filled with a light called hope and were no longer filled with despair as before.
"Charge, in order to go home, in order to survive, everyone charge, kill these barbarians, and then we can go home!" With the order from their commander, all the soldiers were mobilized, with fighting spirit in their hearts. His eyes flashed with blazing fire, and he rushed forward.
A series of ladders were set up on the city by the group of soldiers, followed by the tried and tested ant attack tactic.
After yesterday's day-long siege and attrition war, although the losses were heavy before, the barbarians who defended the city were not much better. We lost 30,000 of them, and the barbarians also killed 10,000 of them. Who will win if the attrition continues? I really don’t know!
The two sides went back and forth, killing each other in a brutal manner, with blood and body parts flowing all over the floor. The corpses from yesterday had not been removed at the foot of the city wall, but today they were piled up again. In some places where the fighting was fierce, it had even reached the point where half of the county town, which was more than ten meters high, had formed a layer of corpses seven or eight meters high.
Fortunately, it is winter now, and it will not rot as quickly as in summer. Otherwise, the entire city will definitely stink, and the plague will break out.
It was another cannon fodder army that had been beaten and crippled and escaped. It was originally a simple establishment of a thousand people, but now there were only five or six hundred of them left. It can be said that there were heavy casualties.
However, withdrawing the troops without receiving an order is an unforgivable sin. Select 1/10 of their five or six hundred people, behead them on the spot, and then drive those who were lucky enough not to be selected back to the battlefield. .
Looking at their backs, many members of the Supervisory Team also sighed in their hearts, which team is this? Eleven or twelve, human life is really worthless. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people have died.
Finally, one day passed like this, and 50,000 cannon fodder left him with 30,000 people, which was almost enough. As long as he went to the battlefield again and more than 10,000 people died, these cannon fodder could be withdrawn to the rear to recuperate.
The next day, I was too lazy to reorganize. I just organized each siege cannon fodder team with 10,000 people. When half of the 5,000 people in each cannon fodder team died, they could retreat. At that time, Wang Fang could Get it, 15,000 elite soldiers.
"Kill!"
Bang bang bang!
As a pile of boulders fell to the ground, the people who had just rushed up the ladder were knocked down, and thousands of people knelt down like this.
The people below are hesitant to move forward. They have just received the order. As long as they finish this battle, they can retreat to the rear to recuperate. How can they be willing to put their lives in this place
Seeing the timidity of those soldiers, what did the supervising team know? He quickly raised the crossbow in his hand and shot behind the group of soldiers, chi chi chi!
A forest of arrows stood behind the group of cannon fodder, but this time it involved deliberately avoiding those cannon fodders. After all, half of them will be their companions in the future, and there are not many cannon fodders, so it’s hard to do too much. .
Hearing the sound of arrows piercing the air behind them, many cannon fodders felt a chill in their hearts and their thighs trembled, thinking that they would definitely die this time!
After waiting for a long time, he turned around and saw that the arrows did not hit anyone on his side, but a forest of arrows appeared behind him.
These cannon fodders also felt a little warm in their hearts. It seemed that those indifferent people really didn't care about their own lives. No, they were merciful this time.
"Listen, don't be afraid. We are really going to be cruel next time. And do you think the general will really let you go back when he sees you like this? If you don't fight the enemy bravely, you will never survive. As a person, you can only have a chance to survive if you perform a good record to make the general happy and satisfied."
Hearing the words of the supervising team, all the cannon fodders felt excited in their hearts, and they all understood their stupidity just now. Yes, if you haven't shown any merit, why should you let the general let you go
He couldn't help but feel cruel in his heart, and looked at the group of barbarians on the city wall with cold eyes. Let your lives be exchanged for our chance of survival!
One morning later, all the cannon fodder troops that had been reduced to 5,000 men were replaced and sent to the rear for training and repair. Once their mood calmed down, they would officially become elite soldiers and become Wang Fang's subordinates. The power to throw away easily.
At this time, the Shu County cannon fodder army, which had been serving as the supervisory team before, was also pressed onto the battlefield by that group of elite soldiers and served as the second batch of cannon fodder.
Seeing the fate of that group of Shu cannon fodder troops, all the cannon fodders who had just withdrawn felt very happy and filled with a sense of schadenfreude. They had watched us die in the front from behind and mocked us. Now it's your turn, right? ! Let's see how many of you can survive.
AD 183
In mid-December of the sixth year of Guanghe
The city of Yuexun County was destroyed, and the county guard committed suicide. All the barbarian chiefs in the city were ordered to be killed by the king, and then troops were sent to attack everywhere to wipe out all the barbarian tribes who sent troops to help defend the county and city.
At the end of the month, 300,000 barbarians in the county were captured under Longdong City. Among them, the chiefs, elders and priests were all beheaded, and 100,000 men were used as cannon fodder. 100,000 old, weak, and young children were killed, and 100,000 were demoted as slaves and distributed to the army or dedicated to Zhong Yu.
Suddenly, the surrounding counties were shaken. When all the barbarians heard Wang Fang's name, they covered their faces and turned pale, and their children stopped crying.
