Chapter 247 Fighting Tigers Tonight(1/2)
Seeing such a scene, both the generals of the vassal tribe and Yelu Lijun and others opened their eyes widened.
"This, what's going on? Why do they have so many wooden grenades?" Yelu Lijun suddenly became irritated.
"It's not like this!" Akiyoshi Tsuki shook his head, "There should be some reason!"
Chen Kuzhen's eyes turned, "Can they know they are doomed, so they try their best to throw away the inventory while they still have enough energy, and at least they can have a chance to breathe?"
"right!"
Zesatsu next to him nodded and responded: "I think so! We are already very close to victory just now. I see more and more people are going up! If we don't take out all the inventory, we might be able to take down Jinzhou City this afternoon! So they don't care about the future!"
"Um!"
Yelu Lijun quickly accepted this statement, after all, this is the most credible.
So he immediately sent a messenger to tell the leaders of the vassal tribes that they should not be afraid and continue to do it.
So, the battlefield, which had just stopped for about a stick of incense, immediately became lively again.
The frightened coalition soldiers, encouraged by money and spoils, launched a charge again.
But the situation is not as they thought.
It was very smooth at the beginning, and people went up one after another.
But then two consecutive rounds of large-scale throwing of wooden grenades were stunned again.
They who did not believe in evil continued to surge for the third time, fourth time, and fifth time, but were killed without leaving any armor.
Because of this intensive charge, just five series of explosions, it took away the lives of 20,000 soldiers!!
This number of casualties has completely exceeded the actual casualties and injuries fighting on the city wall.
Originally, there were more than 100,000 people in the vassal tribe, but after fighting for a few days, the number of people has been greatly reduced by more than 50,000.
Now I have lost more than 20,000 yuan this afternoon, and nearly 30,000 yuan. How can you tell them to figure it out?
Half of the people were killed and injured after just four days of fighting. How do you explain after you go back?
So even if Yelu Lijun asked them to continue charging, ensuring that the Dakang defenders would not have wooden grenades, they would shrink, not only with slow speed, but few people were dispatched.
In the next two hours, they only suffered two or three thousand casualties, which was the total number of casualties on the four walls.
Yelu Lijun was so angry that he took the whip and whipped the generals who ran back to complain.
But even if they were beaten, they would not have to spend their lives on their own.
Everyone can see that the Dakang people are too bad. They used to deliberately show weakness and then lure them to attack the city on a large scale.
After a calculation, 30,000 people were almost killed or injured today. How many of their total number is?
Now there are only more than 70,000 people left to fight, and more than 30,000 are lying in the tent. Every day, a large number of soldiers die due to wound infection, and probably one-tenth of them can recover.
Think about it, since April and May this year, the total number of troops invested has been 400,000, but now there are only 100,000 left in Jinzhou City, and not much left in Ningyuan City.
The strength of each tribe has been lost by more than half. How can I play like this?
Even if I get a lot of money, I can't replenish them all for a while!
When their strength is still strong, you don’t have to care about how many casualties are.
But if they become weak because of war, it is not impossible for other tribes to take the opportunity to attack and annex them!
They were unwilling to attack, and Yelu Lijun could not kill them all.
If this is done, all the vassal tribes will be disinterested, and there may be those who will be reversed.
Shi Wei’s biggest goal now is to annex the fertile territory of Dakang, strive to develop his own strength within 20 or 30 years, and then occupy the entire Central Plains in one fell swoop.
If Yelu Lijun's recklessness caused a big problem within himself and he spent the next 10 or 20 years to suppress the rebellion, how could he scrape a piece of fat from Dakang?
At that time, there will only be cheaper Western Qiang and Uighur dogs!
So Yelu Lijun could only endure it.
Even the most arrogant and domineering Zesatsu kept silent at this time.
He was a little lucky now. He was stopped by Yelu Lijun just now, otherwise his men would have suffered heavy casualties and could not avoid it.
He was shocked when he remembered the way Dakang defenders threw wooden grenades so wildly.
God knows how these dogs are so insidious!
There was obviously so much inventory, but a few days ago, he pretended to be less and less, and then he was deceived by himself and others!
I am also stupid.
It is obviously enough to test once, but you should stop after two times.
As a result, they tested five times, and more than 20,000 people were killed and injured on the way forward, and they didn't even touch the Mao of the Dakang defender.
Think about it, even a powerful general like Zesashi was affected. What would other soldiers watching the battle think?
Morale was so low that he was depressed that Yelu Lijun could only announce the temporary call of gold and withdrawal and the war was stopped today.
Listening to the cheers coming from the city walls and some noisy curses, Yelu Lijun was so angry that his teeth were clenched. He vowed that he would kill Jinzhou City in the future, so that they would know that I, Yelu Lijun, are not easy to mess with!
...
After fighting for so many days, today's truce was the earliest.
The people on the city wall were just cursing Shi Wei Zazu, but the next moment, almost all of them collapsed to the ground, without any strength on their bodies.
Then Liu Mingqi and the others were replaced to rest.
Those rotation personnel who have been replenishing their energy for a long time are responsible for the duty tonight.
Even if the Shiwei people cannot attack today, Zhang Qin, the cautious commander-in-chief of the war, would not relax his vigilance.
It is also admirable to say that since he entered Jinzhou City, he has only slept for two hours a day, but he has never relaxed.
If he hadn't dispatched personnel everywhere and used the most complete plan and the strongest will to inspire the soldiers, maybe Jinzhou City would not be able to support it until now.
Liu Mingqi lives in the city guard palace, and there is no shortage of various materials in the city. There is even seven or eight artificial pools that specialize in storing millions of tons of water, so the people have the confidence to persevere.
So much so that Liu Mingqi took a rare hot bath today.
Of course, it wasn't a shower, so the maid burned a bucket of water and then wiped it with a towel dipped in water.
The weather is already a little cold, but young people are always angry, and Liu Mingqi only feels cool and has no cold or anything like that.
By the way.
In ancient times, colds were also a major disease, and it may be possible that they would have a fever.
So ancient times were far less good than modern times, and there were too many dangers.
After taking a shower, Liu Mingqi entered the room and saw Liu Mingjing and a few who also took a shower were holding steamed buns, drinking the stewed chicken soup, eating cold chicken, and a plate of pickles.
There are almost tens of thousands of people in Jinzhou City, most of whom are the families of these soldiers.
After they entered the city, most of the three meals a day were provided by Jinzhou City, but they also had to do some work, such as men carrying things and serving as laborers, women also had to sew military uniforms, shoes, and make various tools.
Then the elderly and children will raise some poultry, etc., which are mainly for everyone to eat.
If you have enough food, everyone will have food. If the siege is long, then you can only provide the soldiers who need to fight first.
After all, men have to eat meat before they can have the strength to fight.
The other elderly, weak, sick and disabled people are already very lucky to be able to eat steamed buns, rice and pickles.
Many cities are besieged, eating grass is not a rare thing, and they even have to eat people in the end.
Such a tragedy occurred when Zhang Xun of the Tang Dynasty, a famous defensive king in history, defended Suiyang.
Of course, now it is in Dakang, a dynasty with a wealth that surpasses the Song Dynasty.
Taizu had already requested that every border town must have food that can be eaten by 100,000 people for half a year.
If important border fortresses need to accept refugees to hide, then the food needs to be prepared for half a year.
Jinzhou City is such a city. Even in the most difficult times in the past two years, the grain from Shandong and Hebei has been trying its best to supply the three major urban defenses in Liaoning and ordinary people.
Less gossip.
Liu Mingqi sat down and picked up the steamed buns and drank chicken soup.
He has no priorities on diet, and it is absolutely impossible for him to eat parrots like Master Cai. As long as he can eat enough and tastes good, it will be enough.
For men, power, beauty, gambling, driving, etc., are much more attractive than verbal desires.
"What do you think will be going tonight?"
Originally, he was very particular about food and not talking, but Liu Mingjing couldn't help but ask.
"How do I know? I haven't done this before." Liu Mingqi said indifferently while eating steamed buns.
"I'm worried about their safety." Xiong Dabao said: "It needs to be lowered to less than fifty meters, or even lower. Such a height has already entered the range of the bow and arrow. If the hot air balloon is shot through, they will be dead!"
"Um."
Liu Mingqi's eating action paused for a moment before saying, "I have told them all, and they are ready. Everything depends on God's will!"
"Yes! I hope God will stand on our side!" Xiong Dabao said in anticipation.
To be continued...
