Chapter 1089 Soldiers Surround Yuguan City (8)

In fact, the Northern Expeditionary Army was originally divided into three squads. One squad was on duty to guard the city wall, and the other two squads trained and rested according to their normal schedule.

But after the siege broke out, it was too difficult for only one-third of the Northern Expeditionary Army to guard the city wall, so Liu Tie sent everyone up.

"Sir, what you said makes sense. I will discuss it with Qin Fei and the others later and arrange a new shift." Liu Tie nodded and said.

"Not only do we need to schedule shifts, but we also need to ensure that the brothers who take a break really get a good rest," Mr. Tian reminded.

The Northern Expeditionary Army can actually be called veterans, but because of the existence of airships, their previous battles were very fast. This is the first time they have encountered a long battle that lasted for several days.

After experiencing three siege battles, almost all the bodyguards and female soldiers were very tired, but in the face of this kind of life and death battle, it was difficult for anyone to remain calm.

Even if most escorts and female soldiers withdraw from the city wall, their minds will be very active. If they sleep in the military camp under the city wall, with the sound of the siege above their heads, it will be difficult to fall asleep.

"I understand." Liu Tie nodded and sent his bodyguard to notify other officers of the meeting.

Half an hour later, the Northern Expeditionary Army reorganized their orders.

The logistics camp was not idle either. While Liu Tie and the others were having a meeting, they had already gone to the south of the city to select a large house left by the Eastern Barbarian dignitaries as a new dormitory for the Northern Expeditionary Army.

When the off-duty bodyguards and female soldiers rushed over, thick straw had been placed in each room of the house, and a roaring fire was lit in the stove in the corner.

Although Yuguan City is not particularly big, when running from the north of the city to the south, except for the sound of grenades exploding, other sounds of attacking the city are already very weak.

The escorts were exhausted these past two days, and without any other interference, they fell asleep one after another. They slept until dawn, when people from the logistics camp came and called, and they got up.

Although most of the escorts and female soldiers did not have enough sleep, no one complained.

Because they knew that another group of people guarding the city wall had not slept for more than a day and a night.

The cooking company had prepared food. After the bodyguards got dressed, they had no time to sit down and eat. Each of them grabbed two steamed buns and hurried towards the north city wall.

Even before they reached the city wall, they knew that the battle last night must have been fierce.

Because a lot of houses near the north city wall were demolished.

This shows that the bricks and stones they prepared for the catapult last night were not enough, and the escorts who were on duty last night demolished these houses again.

When they reached the city wall, they first looked at the catapult.

Sure enough, the pile of bricks and stones piled like a hill next to the catapult when we left last night had disappeared.

There are not many bricks and stones beside most catapults, and they should have just been transported by the logistics battalion.

Looking further down the city wall, many bodyguards and female soldiers gasped.

At this time, the grassland outside the city wall was like a Shura field, with corpses and bricks mixed with blood everywhere.

Under several arrow stacks that were heavily attacked, the enemy's corpses were like hills, more than two feet high.

When they looked over, they happened to see an escort throwing a grenade at the pile of corpses.

I saw the grenade falling into the pile of corpses and exploding with a bang. The piled up corpses were scattered and thrown around like broken sandbags. The top of the hill where the corpses were piled up was flattened.

But the strange thing is that no blood was seen.

It is so cold in the grassland at night. After the cannon fodder dies, the bodies will soon be frozen into ice and the blood will solidify.

Just now, many female soldiers thought that throwing grenades was to blow up enemies who were not dead yet, but now they realized that throwing grenades was to blow up the pile of corpses.

The corpses under these arrow stacks were obviously thicker than in other places. It was obvious that this was not the first time that the bodyguards guarding this section had used grenades to explode the piles of corpses.

Even so, the pile of corpses is still more than two feet high. How high would it be if there were no grenades?

At this time, even the simple-minded female soldiers realized that the Eastern Barbarian Chanyu might be planning to use corpses to pile up the city wall!

What is the difference between a frozen body and a stone?

Almost everyone has heard the term "mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood", but almost everyone thinks it is an adjective.

But if corpses can really be piled up to level the city wall, wouldn’t it be a veritable “mountain of corpses”?

At that time, the enemy can climb up the mountain of corpses and attack the city!

Thinking of this, many female soldiers felt a kind of fear in their hearts!

You must know that the city wall of Yuguan City is five feet high. How many corpses must be piled up to create such a high mountain of corpses!

Almost all of the earliest female soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army came from the prison camps during the Battle of Damangpo. At that time, they thought that their experiences were already the darkest and most miserable in the world. Only now do they understand what real life is.

dark!

Although the mentality of the male escorts is a little better than that of the female soldiers, it is not much better.

The entire Northern Expeditionary Army had three thousand Zhenyuan troops, but only one thousand bodyguards.

Jin Feng asked them to participate in the Northern Expedition. His original intention was to let the old lead the new and let them set an example for the newly established Zhenyuan Army.

The escorts who can be selected, not to mention the best ones in the escort bureau, are also relatively good. At least all of them have participated in the suppression of bandits many times, or participated in the defense of Damanang Slope and the capital.

Therefore, when facing female soldiers, many escorts regard themselves as seniors, thinking that they are veterans who have experienced the test of war.

Only now do they realize that what they have experienced before is nothing compared to this kind of war between countries!

Under this tragic visual impact, the minds of almost all the bodyguards and female soldiers were transformed.

They began to understand what real life and death was, what real corpses littered the fields and rivers of blood flowed!

They had just climbed onto the city wall, and they had already undergone such a change, not to mention the bodyguards and female soldiers who were on duty last night and fought all night.

The night shift escorts were almost numb at this time, and many of them had no luster in their eyes, only red bloodshot eyes, like the eyes of wild beasts.

Liu Tie also went up to the tower with red eyes at this time.

Last night, the night guard went to bed after being assigned to dormitories, but he and some senior officers did not sleep. After the meeting, they went around for a while before going back to sleep.

Worrying about the war, Liu Tie slept lightly and got up again at dawn.

Even he took a breath when looking at the tragedy under the city wall.

But after all, he had become a general. Liu Tie quickly suppressed his surprise and shouted coldly:

"We've all come up. What are you doing standing still? Quickly change defenses. The night shift will go to rest immediately!"

Following Liu Tie's order, the bodyguards and female soldiers came to their senses and began to change their defenses.

The night shift escorts also rushed to the new dormitory under the leadership of the logistics battalion.

Liu Tie was about to inspect other places when he suddenly saw a cloud of black smoke appearing in the south direction of the city.

"Why would someone in the south of the city shoot a resounding arrow?"
