Today is September 8th, a sunny and rare day. The Ottomans did not come to attack. They suffered heavy losses in yesterday's battle and the bodies were piled up under the city. Therefore, today they agreed with the Chinese that both sides would not fight and each would clean up their own dead bodies.

At present, some unarmed people were busy under the city, lifting the bodies and putting them in the car, while the Southeast Army on the top of the city was on guard.

The corpses were densely packed and soaked in blood, and died in strange shapes, fully revealing the cruelty of war.

The officers and soldiers of the Southeast Army on the city wall smelled the pungent bloody smell, but were happy - it was not that everyone was perverted, but that the commander Li Laiheng rewarded the soldiers on the city wall!

The awards given include the draft medals, titles, military ranks and fields, etc. These things cannot be decided by Li Laiheng. The gifts were given to the superiors. They were awarded by the court, and Li Laiheng submitted the merits and preliminary suggestions, which the court decided to give.

Generally speaking, as long as it is not excessive, the court will not refute the general's request.

There is no need to worry about the general's private teachings. The department in charge of judging military merits in the army belongs to political officers. Li Laiheng can command them, but he has no jurisdiction in personnel matters.

There are two types of officers in the army that form their own system. One is intelligence officers, who are under dual leadership from superior intelligence departments and the heads of their units, and the other is the same as political officers, representing the imperial court's control over the army.

Li Laiheng should not interfere too much with intelligence officers and political officers, and even avoid suspicion.

The management of the Southeast Army was both concentrated and scattered, and the commander had the highest decision-making power during the battle, but things outside the battle were restricted. The leader Yan Changwu would never allow the army he established to fall into the hands of ambitious people.

There are also certificates, bonuses, position promotions and smaller material rewards that Li Laiheng can do, so everyone is very happy to hear the rewards in the future and the rewards they get now.

Basically everyone has a share, and the worst one is also a certificate and reward. If you can fight in a besieged city, everyone will be good.

The battalion was the smallest combat unit, and all representatives were sent to listen to the commander of the army to read the commendation order loudly:

"Col. Chen Jing'an, the commander of the 163rd Regiment, in the battle on September 6, the enemy broke through the 103rd section of the city wall of our army. Colonel Chen calmly commanded and personally led the troops to counterattack and retake the city wall. He showed great fighting courage and command ability. He planned to award the second-class melee assault medal and the third-class military medal..."

"Zhang Lei, deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 78th Regiment, commanded the battalion to give major damage to the enemy during the battle on September 7, and is expected to award the second-class military medal..."

"Lt. Chen Yaxi, 2nd Battalion of the 43rd Regiment, commanded the platoon to kill a senior enemy officer in the battle on September 5, and planned to award the third-class military medal..."

...

The list of meritorious service is very long, and the soldiers are happy and counting their merit points to exchange for how many merit fields they can get!

Every time he made a meritorious service, he would be converted into a merit point. After accumulation, he could exchange merit fields from the court. In the southeastern country, the land was the leader. He distributed the land to farmers. He was very generous to the soldiers. According to the merit points of the soldiers, he distributed merit fields to the soldiers for free, and others would not be envious of them.

A considerable number of meritorious people are Indian three-pot soldiers!

"Simbe, the commander of the Sikh Battalion, has commanded the battalion to launch violent bombardment on the enemy many times, and has made outstanding achievements. It is planned to award the first-class military medal!..."

Xin Bo was overjoyed. During this period of battle, he struggled to fight on the front line. The Sikhs were strong and were a group of soldiers who threw strong armors. They dropped bombs at the enemy and exploded the enemy to the wall. When they heard their explosion, they felt frightened.

Unexpectedly, he was given a first-class military medal, even more than a lot of Chinese commanders!

Chinese are extremely fair, and they are rewarded by the credit, no matter who they are.

He was one of the most meritorious Indians, and the other was Kunal, the battalion commander of Marathian camp. He was a good young man, not like an Indian, but like a Chinese, who was willing to use his brains in war and gave the enemy great damage and made outstanding contributions.

Promotion and wealth are the main themes now. Everyone clapped their hands desperately and felt that this time we came!

Relying on the city to make contributions, the key is that few people died in battle. Since the war started, only more than 10,000 people were killed in battle, and 30,000 were injured, of which more than 20,000 were slightly injured and could still fight. After all, this is defending the city rather than fighting in the field. It does not require too much maneuver, and the wounded can also come in handy.

Li Laiheng concluded: "...We have great courage to defend Cairo City, like a wall of iron. Although the enemy has tried his best to dispatch a heavy army group, we have defeated them. We have made great achievements for the country. The court will definitely give generous rewards. We must be cautious of arrogance and impetuosity, strive to fight the future battles, and stick to Cairo City..."

The risks are small and the benefits are large. This is an important reason why men in Southeast China like to fight wars.

In the past, good men did not join the army, but now the atmosphere has changed. The whole society said: "With the current founding king and a generation of heroes are alive, we must follow him and leave rich property for future generations of descendants!"

The senior officials are thinking about the sun and the moon rising eastward and hang seals and seals.

The little people think of Xuntian and Xuntian!

So everyone fought hard, defended the city alone with great courage, and repelled the enemy's attack.

In addition to the rewards, the entire army also held a dinner party that day, and the live poultry and live animals raised in the city were slaughtered, allowing the soldiers who made meritorious food to have a full meal!

The city is very lively, like a festival.

In the Ottoman barracks and in the central army tent, commander Fahad Pasha was sitting in a distressed city and could not do anything.

He tried every means, first with firepower to support the attack, and then with a suicide squad charge, but the opponent's heroic city still stood.

Since the battle, more than 100,000 people have died in battle. Fahad Pasha has also set a record in the history of Ottoman military. So many people died, and he felt like the sky fell...

Originally, so many people died in the battle, but the Chinese lead bombs, rusty iron bullets, steel nails and fire attacks in the bombs made many of the Ottoman wounded soldiers die miserably after a high fever and howl.

The medical treatment of both sides of the war was not on the same level. Most of the wounded soldiers of the Southeast Army could return to the team to continue to participate in the war, while many of the wounded soldiers of the Ottoman were killed.

A man with a majestic appearance walked in without notice. The man was dressed in luxurious clothes and frowned. He was sent by Vizier Humampasha, whom Istanbul sent to supervise the battle. After he came in, he asked, "There is no way to capture Cairo New City?"

"Unless we have so much firepower support as before!" Fahad Pasha responded vigorously.

"That's impossible!" Humamupasha shook his head and said, "In order to support your battle, Istanbul's gunpowder stock has been used up!"

"Current the navy's gunpowder to me!" Farhad Pasha suggested.

The navy and army are in conflict, and the proposal of Farhad Pasha is a desperate move.

Humamupasha shook his head again, and he said in a silence: "Before I come, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Chalaripasha, was ordered to retire!"

This news was something that Fahad Pasha had never heard of, and he was surprised. Humamupasha said: "There are many problems in the navy, and the inventory of gunpowder has not reached one-third of the inventory that should be... "

Fahad Pasha couldn't speak anymore. He knew that Istanbul had fully allocated gunpowder for naval use and did not dare to take it lightly. The inventory of gunpowder still did not reach one-third of the stock it should have. Someone must have taken the naval gunpowder to sell it, and maybe it would be sold to Hongmao Fan!

Sell ​​your own gunpowder to your enemies!

Farhad Pasha has also done such a thing as reselling military funds, but he hasn't done it as outrageous as the navy guys!

He sighed, "Then, keep on attacking!"

Continue to attack, shout religious slogans without firepower, hoping that the spirit will defeat the material, and must attack. Maybe the defenders in the city will use all gunpowder, and the Ottomans will see the dawn of victory!
Chapter completed!
