Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 170 Offense and defense 9

As soon as the collapsed green battalion moved, the Han army with the blue flag and the Han army with the yellow flag also moved. The difference is that the weapons of these soldiers are not fire guns, but broad swords. ⊙ They followed behind the green camp, not rushing forward like the green camp, but dozens of people formed a team of more than ten teams, maintaining a corresponding distance in front and back, and advancing at a neither fast nor slow pace. Such a queue is naturally due to knowing that there are artillery pieces in the city.

Behind him, the sound of rumbling drums sounded, and hundreds of cavalrymen of the Han army with blue flags lined up. The rest of the Qing troops who had not yet attacked the city were also ordered to gather forward by the officers, and together with the civilians who had been recruited, they cheered and shouted for the siege team. The trembling also made those old and young women and children in the Taiping old camp feel uneasy.

The large battalion behind them naturally boosted the morale of the battalions who attacked the city. They swept away the depression caused by the previous failure of the siege and rushed down the city like wolves with red eyes. The temptation of breaking the city and not closing the sword has deeply pressed their fear of death, making the beast nature in their hearts that has never gone away again fluttering.

....

On the top of the city, just after the Qing army had withdrawn, Zhou Shixiang ordered the officers to organize the officers to carry the dead Taiping army corpses and wounded down the city.

Most of the casualties on the city were caused by the archers of the green camp. About a hundred soldiers were shot by the arrows of the Qing army, but the real fatalities were not many. Most of them were flesh and non-fatal wounds. Most of the medicines can be cured, and they will not become disabled because of this.

Half of the corpses carried down were killed when the Green Battalion attacked the city. They were all slashed directly by swords, and some died on the spot, while others died from excessive blood loss. in this era. Wounds directly caused by cold weapons are difficult to treat, and even sutures are difficult to suture. Therefore, those who are slandered and not dead can only be resigned to fate. Although Zhou Shixiang tried his best to improve the medical system in the army, he even formulated some later generations. Medical means, but because of the serious lack of medicinal materials and the "military doctor" that he had in mind, his later methods could only be used to express his feelings. Those who were slightly injured could not die, those who were seriously injured could not be saved. Minor injuries heal faster. and prevent some infectious diseases.

The corpses carried down dripped blood along the city bricks, staining all the corridors. In several places, the ground was full of blood because there were so many dead people. As a result, people walked on it and slipped and fell. Young people who are less busy replenishing the defense equipment.

Compared with the corpses of the Qing army everywhere in the city, the casualties of the Taiping army were much smaller, and the exchange ratio of casualties between the enemy and our party was even estimated to be seven to one or even more, which also included the casualties of those young men recruited. In addition, there were more than a dozen unfortunate prisoners of the Han army flag. Therefore, it can be said that the Taiping Army has just won a battle and won a great victory that has not been seen since the formation of the army at a very small price!

Since ancient times, in the battle of siege, if the city was not besieged to death, or the troops of the siege team reached several times that of the defender. The side with the most casualties must be the siege side, especially the side that lacks siege equipment.

When Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun guarded Jiangyin City, they held on for 81 days with the garrison composed entirely of Jiangyin people, and resisted tens of thousands of Qing troops. This includes Bo Luo, Nikan, and Kong Youde, who were later promoted to princes. A small Jiangyin city can make the Qing army pay a great price, how can Xinhui City not do it!

What's more, this Xinhui city just experienced a fierce battle no less than the Jiangyin defense battle last year. Thousands of Qing troops repelled Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of troops with Xinhui. Today, the Taiping Army can't replicate a miracle again!

............

The blood on the ground and the calls of the wounded made those young men of Xinhui who were exposed to the war for the first time terrified. Fan Si was one of them. His body fell to the back, and an arrow almost hit him in the face. If it wasn't for a Taiping army beside him who pulled him, I'm afraid Fan Si would have met the King of Hell by now.

Humans are very strange animals. When the Qing army did not attack the city, Fan Si was so frightened that his legs cramped. When the attack came up, he resisted. When the Qing army retreated, he cheered like his companions, but after the cheers, Looking at the corpses that were constantly being lifted down, he was frightened again, as if the wounds on the corpse were cut up by the red flesh, which made him numb and uncomfortable, squatting down. There, I wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, wanted to stand but couldn't.

Finally, all the corpses and wounded in the city were carried down. Only then did Fan Si react from the extreme fear and numbness of body and mind, and he was immediately surprised. Only just now did he see the Qing army rushing up in black outside the city. The city shouted to kill the sky, he thought that the Taiping army must have suffered a lot of casualties, but he didn't think that there were not many corpses carried down in one battle, which really surprised him. He also called these two days ago "" The Taiping army of "thief soldiers" was impressed, and even the awe of the Taiping army was even more serious.

There are many people who have the same thoughts as Fan Si~www.mtlnovel.com~ especially those prisoners of the Green Camp and the Han Army Banner. These people have adjusted their mentality without knowing it, and they are not as strong as before.

...

Although they saw the gratifying banner of King Zhenfan of Pingnan being erected in the Qing army camp, neither Zhou Shixiang nor his officers nor Song Xianggong believed that the Qing army would continue to attack the city, at least it is impossible to attack the city today. Because their morale has become dissipated with the defeat of the siege, at this moment, as long as their minds are not stupid, there is no general who is stupid enough to drive the demoralized subordinates up again.

After the corpses and wounded were carried down, the young men continued to move the equipment placed under the city to the city. The Taiping army on the city also made up for some gaps as much as possible under the command of the officers. Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Although the people above were busy, no one was nervous or afraid. They all thought that the Qing army would not be attacking the city again today, so they were very relaxed. The Taiping Army, who had been beating and scolding young men and captives earlier, also had a good temper at this meeting. It was rare that no one would wave the whip or draw a knife to threaten this group of people to be honest. For a time, the atmosphere on the city wall was very good. After all, they beat them. A victory was won, and so many Qing soldiers were killed.

But what they didn't expect was that only half an hour later, the Qing army launched a second attack, and this attack was more violent than the previous one. (To be continued!
