After the aftermath of that violent explosion, the dilapidated ladder was even more crumbling, and it looked like it couldn't support it anytime and anywhere.

It's like what those Shanyue people said, as long as the ladder is damaged and collapsed, the officers and soldiers who have already climbed the city wall will be like duckweed without roots. The mountains are submerged.

It's just that a lot of times, things don't happen the way people imagined.

Just like the reason why the army is defeated like a mountain, the shocking thunder just now is just the beginning.

After the subsequent three huge explosions in succession, the entire Shanyue's flesh and blood defense line on the city wall was suddenly shattered.

The older generation of Shanyue could no longer suppress the fear in the team, and a large number of Shanyue began to flee.

When the two temporary ladders arrived late and arrived at Shanyue's throat like two sword blades, the superiority of the officers and soldiers in the previous siege battle was finally transformed into a victory.

Facing the long swords of the officers and soldiers, those Shanyue could no longer organize an effective resistance.

……

"kill--"

"Brothers, those thieves can't hold on any longer, come and kill them with me!"

……

It was not damaged as easily as the previous ladder. After the brand new ladder hit the city wall again, it immediately opened two paths to the Shanyue camp for the soldiers below.

For a moment, several officers who were still on the front line were shocked, and led the soldiers under them to launch a full-scale attack on the camp not far away.

"Duh-"

There was a sound of a long knife cutting into wood, and as a large number of soldiers rushed to the city wall with shields and long knives in their mouths, the two mountains guarding the gate of the camp saw that the situation was not good, and immediately abandoned their mission. He turned his head and fled towards the bottom of the city wall.

Seeing that there was no one near the city gate, Shen Quan, who had been killed on the city wall in a daze, and his eyes were a little dizzy, simply puffed up, and split the thick wooden bar stuck on the door bolt into pieces with one knife. two paragraphs.

……

"Open it for me!"

……

Outside the camp, a large number of soldiers clustered outside the gate felt the vibration of the gate, and immediately pushed the closed gate inward together, and a large number of soldiers began to rush towards the interior of the various buildings in the camp.

Not far from the city wall, Xu Huang looked at the gate that was finally opened, and felt relieved, and slowly let out a foul breath.

……

"Huh—this battle is settled."

……

"Herald, pass on my order. Except for the heavy soldiers, the whole army will attack the inside of the camp immediately!"

"Including the longbowmen, there will be no one left in the reserve team. Let me rush into the camp and search for all the remaining Shanyue remnants!"

"Remember, except those who disarm and surrender can be accepted, anyone who dares to resist will be killed, no one will be left behind!"

……

Chapter 63 In all wars, there are no undead

After three orders in a row, Xu Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, in a few days it will be the Moon Festival on August [-]th. According to the tradition of the Han Dynasty, on this day, the common people should reunite with their families, eat moon cakes and enjoy sweet-scented osmanthus. Worship the moon.

Although most of those who choose to join the army in this era are lonely and have no family members, but according to his lord Zhang Yan's requirement of treating the army as a family and his comrades as family members, Xu Huang does not want these soldiers under his command Spend the first moon festival after going south from Luoyang to Lujiang on the battlefield.

Now that I and others have finally won the victory, if nothing unexpected happens, my entire team can rest for a period of time during the festival with peace of mind.

In fact, for a long time, whether in the East or the West, the rulers have not paid much attention to the needs of the soldiers at the bottom.In the eyes of most emperors and kings, it is already a very benevolent act to let these soldiers not worry about food and clothing, and not to run around for their livelihood.

If we really want to talk about the construction of spiritual civilization at the grassroots level of the army, we will have to wait until the great revival of this country after 2000.

At this moment, walking on the battlefield full of gunpowder smoke with a few personal soldiers, Xu Huang couldn't help feeling a little emotional while looking at the dilapidated scene around him.

The previous shouts of killing had gradually subsided, and the originally noisy camp fell into a quiet atmosphere as if the pause button had been pressed.

Wherever Xu Huang looked, he could see a large number of Shanyue put down their weapons anytime and anywhere, and was suppressed and captured by the soldiers who had entered the camp under his own hands.

As for the less courageous Shanyue, they even hid in various corners of the cottage, and were scooped up one by one by the soldiers who searched carpet-like.

At the moment when the gate of the camp was opened just now, the Shanyue who had some extravagant hopes of repelling the invading army were doomed to fail. At that moment, a large number of Shanyue let go and dropped their weapons. Give up resistance, but it can also be regarded as killing by the neck.

At this moment, in less than half an hour, in the huge camp, thousands of Shanyue who gave up resistance were caught and tied up by Xu Huang's soldiers, and piled up on the nearby open space like livestock. .

……

"Hey, to achieve this victory in this battle is really a matter of hard work by the soldiers."

"It's just a pity that this sentry tower is missing for no reason."

……

Sighing and walking through the gate of the camp, the village, which was originally mainly made of wooden structures, was filled with a lot of smoke at this moment.

In an open space near the city wall, only two of the three sentry towers before the siege are still standing there, and the remaining one is crumbling, looking like it will collapse and be damaged anytime, anywhere.

For such a situation, Xu Huang felt a little distressed, but also a little helpless.

When the city was just besieged, in addition to the first wave of four tribulus thunderbolts, Xu Huang also tried to get his soldiers to throw some thunderbolts and poisonous smoke marked with other colors in the later stages of the battle thunder.

The effects of these special fire mines are excellent without exception. Whether it is the thunderbolt fire mine that can splash a large amount of kerosene in a burning state at the same time as the explosion, or the poisonous smoke mine that continuously emits phosphorus smoke, it can kill or kill a large number of people. It indirectly affects the combat capabilities of the soldiers on the Shanyue side, and creates various opportunities for the engineering side where they are.

It's just a pity that in the process of testing new weapons, it is inevitable that there will be a small flaw.

When throwing fire and thunder just now, because a soldier in charge of the experiment did not pay attention to the color of the bamboo tube in his hand, he mistakenly threw an "incendiary bomb" on the ground behind the camp as an ordinary thunderbolt.

After a large amount of kerosene exploded, a wooden sentry tower near the open space was immediately devastated, and the intense flames enveloped the entire sentry tower within a short while.

Although Xu Huang sent people to extinguish the fire immediately, but judging from the scorched appearance of the base of the sentry tower, I am afraid that it will not be possible for this sentry tower to be repaired in a while.

……

"Oh, that's all, that's all."

"Anyway, we can slowly build things like sentry towers after we settle in this camp after a while."

"It's my luck to get it, and my fate to lose it. Since the sentry tower was accidentally damaged, I think it's destiny and I hope so..."

……

Seeing the wreckage of the sentry tower in front of him and sighing, Xu Huang turned around and walked towards the depths of the camp not far away.

While walking on the post-war ruins, Xu Huang secretly counted the number of people who surrendered to Shanyue, and calculated how much actual benefits his Lujiang forces could get after this battle.

Just when the beacon fire that was used to notify other armies to launch an attack together in the distance finally rose, a short soldier came quickly to Xu Huang and reported to him in a low voice.

……

"General, in this battle, we wiped out hundreds of enemies and captured more than a thousand of them. The enemy escaped with no more than a hundred of them. It can be said that we have won a hearty victory."

"Among the Shanyue thieves who were killed, about 200 died in the siege battle in the early stage of the battle, and there were probably less than a hundred people who resisted stubbornly after the camp was breached and were surrounded and killed by our soldiers."

"As for the rest, most of them were hit by our army's shocking thunder during the big explosions on the city walls. It is impossible to confirm the specific number of casualties."

Reporting his results to Xu Huang in a low voice, a hint of excitement could be clearly seen on the soldier's face.

Indeed, capturing a camp surrounded by wooden walls with minimal battle damage, and even killing hundreds of enemy soldiers, is an excellent record that can be taken at any time.

It was the first time for this soldier to personally participate in such a battle after being under Zhang Yan's hands for so long, so it was natural to be a little excited.

Just talking, but he seemed to think of something, and the original high mood gradually became a little dim.

……

"As for our army, more than a hundred people were killed in battle, and hundreds of people were slightly or seriously injured. Most of them were bullied by those Shanyue thieves when the ants were attacking the city."

"Among the dead, in addition to some grassroots soldiers, there were also several hundred captains, and a large number of platoon leaders who took the lead on the opponent's wall..."

"Even, even the commander of the [-]rd Battalion of Sword and Shield Hands died during the most chaotic siege period."

……

With a low voice, he reported to Xu Huang the casualties on his side. When it was mentioned that only a hundred people were killed, and a general with a thousand people left, the soldier's expression was obviously a little bit. Not very pretty.

He was a soldier from the [-]rd Battalion of Sword and Shield Hands. The battalion-level officer who died in battle treated them very well on weekdays, so when the other party left, the soldier's joy of winning the first battle was diluted a lot.

On the other hand, Xu Huang just nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

Chapter 64 Could it be that you said...

"okay, I get it."

Responding to the soldier rather flatly, Xu Huang already knew that in a fierce battle, death in battle is a very normal thing for both soldiers and officers.It has never been said that you are an officer, so the enemy army will treat you leniently. If you are an ordinary soldier, the other party will think you are weak and bully, and they will chase you to kill.

Even because of Zhang Yan's ethos of taking the lead as officers, these people are often closer to the front line than ordinary soldiers on the actual battlefield, and they are also more dangerous...

The fact that the officer's death rate was higher than that of ordinary soldiers was also expected by Xu Huang early on.

……

"Hey, let me pass on my order. All the soldiers who died in this battle, their respective camps are responsible for collecting the remains for incineration, and recovering their badges."

"For those who still have family members, the pension, soldier badges, relics and ashes will be sent back home according to the lord's regulations. If there is no family member alone, the soldier badges will be collected, and the remains will be buried in this mountain forest. Well, the cost of the tombstone and the coffin are all provided by the public, which is what the Lord said a long time ago."

"Perhaps when we fight in other places in the future, it will be difficult to recover the remains of the war dead, but now..."

"At least when conditions permit, what should be done is still to be done."

……

"In addition, all the generals in the army who died in battle with more than ten commanders will be replaced by their former deputy, and they will become full-time officers after a three-month probationary period."

"Those camps whose deputy died in battle will be nominated by the military chief to which they belong, and all soldiers will vote together to elect a new deputy."

"As for those officers and deputy who were killed at the same time... sort it out and report to me later."

……

After giving instructions to the soldier beside him, although Xu Huang said that he was fairly stable, he felt quite sorry for the departure of those soldiers in his heart.

It's just that as the highest officer of an army, in order to take care of the emotions of the soldiers under him, he turned his back to the crowd and sighed slowly until the soldier sang and retreated.
