The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 824

Face to face, Goguryeo's 2000 troops lost more than [-] people in front of the city wall. Not only that, but the previous wells and ladders have all been washed away by water. If these Goguryeo people want to continue to attack the city, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Xuan Shijing saw the current situation clearly, and Yang Wanchun's deputy general also saw clearly. Without the well rail and ladder, they couldn't climb the city wall, how could they attack?Angrily glanced at Xuan Shijing and Chang Le standing on the top of the wall, the deputy general could only order Ming Jin to retreat.

The [-] troops in Anshi City came in menacingly, but they were calculated by Xuan Shijing in front of Beisha City, and they retreated hastily. The suspension bridge was put down in the city, otherwise it would be as difficult as climbing into the sky if you want to enter Beisha City.

The remaining more than 7000 Goguryeo soldiers retreated like a tide, and if they want to attack Beisha City, it will take a few days.

The wide ditch outside the city wall has become the moat of Beisha City. Until the Goguryeo army retreated, there were still some Goguryeo soldiers struggling to survive floating in the river, but more of them had become corpses floating on the river.

"Master Hou, the Goguryeo army has retreated, what about those outside the city?" Chang Le looked at Xuan Shijing.The ones outside the city he was talking about were naturally the Goguryeo soldiers who survived by chance, as well as the corpses in the river. "Let people go out of the city in a while, no matter whether they are alive or dead, they will all be salvaged." Xuan Shijing said: "If you keep soaking in water, it is easy to get plague." Plague, this is a thing that makes people talk about discoloration Chang Le naturally knew how powerful it was, so he nodded in response.

"Yes, Lord Hou."

"As for the living Goguryeo soldiers, let's kill them." Xuan Shijing said.

In one sentence, the fate of more than a hundred Goguryeo soldiers who survived by chance was decided.

The current Beisha City does not need prisoners. In other words, Xuan Shijing does not like prisoners for the time being. If there are more prisoners than the defenders, the consequences will be immeasurable. Xuan Shijing dare not bet that the entire Beisha City Safety, the wealth and lives of more than a thousand people are all tied to him, he dare not take this risk, so he would rather bear such a bloodthirsty reputation.

The more than 7000 troops in Anshi City retreated until they disappeared from the sight of everyone on the city wall. Then Xuan Shijing ordered the drawbridge to be lowered and the city gate opened.Five hundred defenders came out of Beisha City with all kinds of tools, and began to salvage the corpses in the moat and those who survived by chance.

However, once the living are fished ashore, what awaits them is still the sharp butcher's knife of the defenders.Seeing this, the living people who were still floating in the river didn't go up at all. Those who could swim went straight to the west of Beisha City, and those who couldn't swim but survived holding those driftwood were trying their best. Thumping his arms, he followed those people and swam towards the distance. As long as they could get rid of the defenders of Beisha City and survive, that would be their motivation.

However, how could the defenders let them run out so easily?Once these people get away, they will definitely return to Anshi City again and become their enemies. Therefore, when the defenders on the city wall saw these people like this, some archers with good archery skills bent their bows and shot arrows at those who tried to escape in the river. people.

The water of the moat is very deep, and only a part of it floats on it, and some of them have sunk to the bottom of the river, and they are all soldiers in heavy armor.

Salvage work is not a simple matter. The defenders in the city can only use some door panels, which are fixed with ropes and used as rafts.

It took about an hour for all the corpses floating in the river to be salvaged, and they were still on the shore, lined up in a long line, piled up in two or three layers.

Xuan Shijing stood on the city wall, lost his appetite, and went to eat breakfast again. After seeing that the defenders who went down to salvage the corpses had all landed, he turned sideways and said to Chang Le, "Send a letter to Fang Shu, and ask him to open the embankment. Block it, then go east and blast the dike open.

Beisha City is facing the sea. The terrain here is high in the west and low in the east. Now that the west side has been dug up, the seawater has poured in, and then the west side has been blocked. The water in the river has become stagnant water. It will flow into the sea again, and the deep ditch in front of the city wall will be revealed again.

Anshicheng didn't think of a way to deal with this level, and they won't bother Beisha City for the time being. After a few days, Zhang Jian arrived near Anshicheng. Even if they want to send people to Beisha City, On Zhang Jian's side, they will first let them shed a layer of skin.But now, what Xuan Shijing had to deal with was the more than 7000 Anshicheng troops who had retreated hastily.

Time dragged on for a long time, Xuan Shijing didn't believe that the food and grass supply of this batch of troops could keep up.

"Chang Le, I didn't rest all night last night. While I'm free now, let's go to sleep for a while, and the brothers on the city wall take turns to rest and eat." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Master Hou." Chang Le did not refuse. After a night of high-intensity concentration, coupled with the tension of the war this morning, once he relaxed, Chang Le was indeed a little bit overwhelmed. Very tired.

Chang Le went down the city wall and went back to the camp to rest, but Xuan Shijing had to deal with the remaining trivial matters in person.

During the battle in the morning, there were many people who were injured by the enemy's arrows. These people had already been carried off the city wall by their own robes and sent to the barracks.In the barracks, Ye Qing, the doctor who came to Liaodong with the vanguard army, also started to work again.

When Ye Qing first came to Liaodong, although Ye Qing had already started to make psychological construction for himself and persuade himself about the tragedy of the battlefield, but what he thought in his heart and what he saw were not the same at all. I have seen what is called a battlefield and what is called tragic.

Three thousand Goguryeo soldiers were besieged to death under the city wall, Ye Qing couldn't stand it anymore, but when the vanguard sent some injured veterans to him for treatment, he heard those veterans talk about the past by chance, Ye Qing Qingxin gradually accepted it.It turns out that the men in Guanzhong back then suffered much more casualties than the Goguryeo soldiers in Beisha City today. This is a battle of revenge.

Ye Qing saw with his own eyes how those veterans who were seriously injured and could not be rescued after killing Goguryeo soldiers left with relief and smiles, and saw with his own eyes how the living talked to their companions heartily.

Ye Qing understands that the man in Guanzhong and Goguryeo are blood feuds that can only be washed away with blood and life, and what Ye Qing can do is to treat these injured people with all his heart and preserve their lives. life.
