The winter in the north is very cold. Although the city of Yuguan at this time cannot be said to turn into ice, it is still extremely cold.
Although the corpses of the enemies on the city wall were all recently dead, they were already frozen into blocks of ice.
Liu Tie's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Mr. Tian's words.
In peaceful times, destroying corpses might be an extremely perverted sin, but none of the escorts present thought so!
Because they all understand that this is not a child's play, but a life-and-death war.
Since ancient times, war has been cruel and inhumane!
In order to win victory, most generals will do whatever it takes.
Besides, they killed everyone, do they still need to pretend to respect the corpse?
In the eyes of the bodyguards and female soldiers, there is no difference between a body frozen into ice and a stone!
Throwing it out saves them the trouble of digging a hole and burying it.
So before Liu Tie gave the order, many bodyguards and female soldiers had already carried the enemy's corpse and put it into the basket of the catapult.
After a while, enemy corpses flew out from the city wall one after another.
The logistics battalion and the cooking company took advantage of this opportunity and rushed to demolish the houses and transport bricks to the city wall.
The commander of the Jin-Barbarian coalition found that the escort's defense was getting tighter and tighter, so he had no choice but to order a temporary halt to the siege.
There is no way, they are different from those in the north.
There were already a large number of Eastern Barbarian tribes gathered in the north of Yuguan City, and the Chanyu could easily gather his troops.
However, the Jin-Barbarian coalition came from afar, numbering tens of thousands in total, and have already suffered thousands of casualties since the siege. If the attack continues like this, they may not be able to hold out for even two days, and they will be wiped out!
The civilians were originally forced to attack the city by the soldiers with swords. With the commander's order, they retreated like a tide as if they were amnesty!
"Hold it!"
On the south wall, the bodyguards and female soldiers raised their arms and cheered.
After fighting until now, they finally had a chance to breathe.
A smile finally appeared on Liu Tie's face, and he turned to Qin Fei and said, "Take your people and rest!"
Qin Fei also fought fiercely with his bodyguard on the north wall for two days and one night, and now he fought on the south wall for half a day. His eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
If possible, he wished he could fall asleep right now.
But he did not leave, but asked: "What will happen to the city wall when we leave?"
"Leave it to the cooking company for now," Liu Tie replied.
Jin Feng established the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and the Zhenyuan Army in accordance with the standards of the army in his previous life.
Even non-combat units such as cooking companies and logistics battalions have formal establishments, and if they win a battle, they will also be rewarded.
For example, this time, if Liu Tie successfully defended Yuguan City, the cooking company and the logistics battalion would both have a share in sorting out the battle achievements in the future.
Because the bodyguards and female soldiers fighting on the city wall worked hard, the cooking company and the logistics battalion also worked hard.
The only difference is that they are in the rear, which is relatively safer.
But once the city is broken, they are also in danger.
Therefore, non-combat units such as cooking companies and logistics battalions also need to receive training on a regular basis.
In this year's spring sports meeting, there was a cook in the cooking class who achieved sixth place overall, which surprised many escorts.
Then in the autumn sports meeting, another escort from the logistics camp won third place overall.
Especially in the weight-bearing cross-country event, this logistical escort's score far exceeded that of other contestants.
If he hadn't lost to a bodyguard who had studied martial arts in the fighting event, I'm afraid he would have been number one.
After that incident, no one dared to underestimate the cooking team and logistics.
But Qin Fei still frowned and asked, "Can I leave it to the cooking company?"
It's not that Qin Fei underestimates the cooking company, but there are too few people in the cooking company.
According to the normal establishment of the Zhenyuan Army, each company is equipped with one cooking squad. Since the Northern Expeditionary Army is all in the same camp, there is no need to have dozens of cooking squads to cook separately. Therefore, after Zhang Liang occupied Yuguan City, he assigned the cooking squad to
The cooking classes were merged, and dozens of cooking classes were merged into one cooking company.
Although it is a company-level unit, Zhang Liang laid off one-third of the cooks in order to streamline personnel during the merger, so the entire cook company had less than a hundred people.
Moreover, the bodyguards and female soldiers still have to eat, so some of the cooks must be left to steam buns to ensure the most basic food supply.
Therefore, the number of cooks who rushed to the south wall to help at this time was less than seventy, which was about the same as two platoons.
They are expected to guard the entire southern city wall, but there are too few manpower.
"The road to Jin is far away. There won't be many people coming here, and they certainly won't be as crazy as those in the north. So just let the people from the cooking company stay here to take charge of the security."
Mr. Tian explained: "Don't all go down, pick out two companies and go to Wengcheng to squeeze in. If the enemy suddenly attacks the city, they can come out immediately for reinforcements!"
After hearing what Mr. Tian said, Qin Feicai finally nodded and arranged for his men to call the escorts and female soldiers to rest. At the same time, he also left the 1st and 2nd companies with the strongest combat effectiveness under his command and let them sleep in the Wengcheng.
The barbican is a hut built on the city wall. The soldiers who usually defend the city can rest inside or pile up some equipment for defending the city.
Although the conditions were very poor, the escorts and female soldiers were so sleepy that they could fall asleep standing up, so how could they be picky?
Without waiting for the logistics battalion to bring the straw, many escorts and female soldiers leaned against the wall and fell asleep the next second.
In less than five minutes, the ground in Wengcheng was filled with people.
The Wengcheng was so small that the female soldiers didn't care about any taboos and just crowded together with the bodyguards.
"You'll definitely catch a cold if you sleep like this!"
Mr. Tian pointed at the Wengcheng and said: "Let the logistics battalion allocate a company, work harder, and send some straw up."
The logistics camp was actually very sleepy, but it still gritted its teeth and sent dozens of bundles of straw up. Some people were responsible for spreading the straw, while others were responsible for asking the bodyguards and female soldiers to put it on the straw.
But their female escort was so sleepy that she couldn't even wake up, let alone scream.
"How about beating the gong?" a soldier from the logistics battalion suggested.
The order to wake up in the military camp is to beat the gong.
This morning, the escorts and female soldiers in the dormitory couldn't wake up, but when the logistics battalion struck the gong, they got up immediately.
"Forget it, brothers are too tired, let them have a good sleep."
The logistics battalion commander waved his hand and said: "Let's work harder and lift them up."
After saying that, he took the deputy battalion commander and started carrying people.
The battalion commander took action himself, and other logistics battalion soldiers couldn't say anything and could only follow and carry people.
They were busy until noon before the logistics battalion finally settled the escorts from the first and second companies.
Then they didn't even bother to eat, and hurried to the dormitory under the city wall to rest.
The South City Wall, which had been noisy all morning, finally became quiet.
Liu Tie and Mr. Tian stood side by side behind the arrow stack, frowning as they looked at the Jin and Barbarian coalition forces busy setting up camp in the south.
"Mr. Tian, it seems that they are preparing for a protracted war. We must quickly find a way to contact Mr. Tian!"
