Chapter 311 The time for Jingzhou soldiers has come
There is only one purpose in seizing the return entrance, and that is to occupy the entrance to the secret passage near the return entrance. According to the scouts' reports, because all the warships were burned, the Xiangyang defenders have almost given up on the return entrance area and have not strengthened their troops.
Be more defensive.
This is also normal. Di Qin did not pay much attention to the navy. The many warships he built in the first place were only for use when he continued his southern expedition in the future, not to defend Xiangyang City.
Now that all the warships have been destroyed, the place where the warships docked is naturally useless.
It is a waste of manpower and material resources to defend a deserted land. It is certainly not a good deal for a lazy person like Fu Rui.
As a result, there were no more guards near the entrance than before the incident, and Fu Rui's support here was just to repair the fence that had been damaged by the Beifu soldiers.
Since there were not many Di Qin troops stationed here, Wang Mi set his sights on the Jingzhou Corps. It was okay to hand over such trivial tasks to the Jingzhou Corps.
Of course Huan Chong could not move, and Wang Mi had no such intention. However, Huan Chong's general Wang Mi could still control him.
So Liu Chun, the general, appeared here.
Liu Chun spit out the straw seedlings in his mouth and said disdainfully: "What do you know?"
"It's not easy to have a chance to play!"
"How dare you be picky!"
These people really don’t know how to be content. What’s the situation now?
The old enemy of the Jingzhou soldiers, Murong Chui, was still guarding Xiangyang City. Whenever he saw him, Huan Chong's legs would tremble.
It is precisely because Huan Chong is famous for running away at first sight and his glorious deeds are so famous that everyone knows that as long as Murong Chui is around, Huan Chong will have no chance to take the lead.
Who would risk the inevitable defeat and appoint Lao Huan?
As a die-hard general of Huan Chong, Liu Chun is quite satisfied to be able to get such an opportunity to play.
Although it is a small battle in the corner, as a soldier, as long as there is a battle to fight, it is enough.
"Although this battle is small, if it is fought successfully, I, the Jingzhou soldier, will regain my dignity! You must cheer me up, do you hear me!" Although Liu Chun's voice was small, it was still a deterrent.
Very full.
"Yes, general, don't worry, we will do our best!"
Behind Liu Chun, the slightly lazy Jingzhou soldiers rubbed their eyes one by one, held their breath and kept silent, and really showed their momentum.
This is a matter of honor for Jingzhou soldiers. Of course, brothers, we must cheer up.
Liu Chun felt proud. It seemed that there were not many guards in the return area. Hey, maybe if he did it right this time, he could really get a big military merit.
Before the troops on both sides could catch up, Liu Chun was already having a sweet dream.
Since the ambush, Liu Chun's eyes have been staring in the same direction, and every move of the Di Qin soldiers has been under his observation.
No matter how alert the tiger is, he will always take a nap. Liu Chun's eyes followed the steps of the soldiers and rolled back and forth.
The night was getting darker, and mosquitoes were everywhere around us. The hissing and buzzing sounds were endless, and the Di Qin patrols were waving their arms impatiently.
Liu Chun's efforts were not in vain. Just after midnight, he discovered that the patrols on Di Qin's side had become less frequent.
Some soldiers who were supposed to keep a close eye on the sentry posts instead gathered together in twos and threes, and the sound of chatting continued to reach Liu Chun's ears along the breeze.
"Looks like it's another uneventful day."
"Yes, what time is it now? There will definitely be no Jin army attacking!"
A few soldiers had already relaxed their vigilance and yawned. Even if they were on patrol, night patrol was the most tiring one.
Everyone was afraid to avoid it. It was better in the first half of the night. The soldiers were young, most of them still had some energy, and they were patrolling diligently.
But in the second half of the night, they were helpless and relaxed. In order to continue to stand guard, the soldiers had to keep chatting to refresh themselves.
"You guys should be more alert. Have you forgotten what happened a few days ago?"
"If another surprise attack by the Jin army is successful, none of us will be able to reap the benefits!"
A small nine-man named Feng Tuo stood up, stared threateningly, and also made a gesture of wiping his neck, which frightened the soldiers and made their hair stand on end.
"I didn't forget!"
"Don't worry, brother, no one dares to forget!"
It was not until two days ago that Fu Rui finally had mercy on the so-called bad fruits and let them down from the city gate.
These are the heads of the soldiers who defended the city who were beheaded by Fu Rui himself!
However, don't think that Fu Rui suddenly had a kind heart. He definitely didn't do this to show his magnanimity.
It's just because I have to pick it when the specified time comes.
As the saying goes, it takes three days to expose corpses. These bloody heads and melon seeds were hung on the tower for three days. Fu Rui felt that the time was almost up, and it completely acted as a deterrent.
Thinking of those heads swaying in the wind, which soldier dares to be lazy?
Don't you want to die?
"But, brother, the brothers are too aggrieved this time. General Fu has made it clear that he doesn't value us, so he threw the brothers into a place like this!"
"So many warships were burned down, and countless people died. In my opinion, this place is very unlucky!"
As they were talking, the soldiers felt a dark wind rising from the water and blowing towards them.
The brothers quickly wrapped their shoulders tightly: "Look, it really is bad luck!"
Everyone nodded, and no one disagreed.
Don't blame them for reacting so exaggeratedly. There's nothing you can do about it. Who told them to do all kinds of bad things these days that have nothing to do with war?
According to Fu Rui, the Huikou area was dispensable to Di Qin, and he had no intention of defending it at all.
Just to save face, they sent out a team of people to show off.
The first task of this group of people who rushed back was not to defend against the sneak attacks of the Beifu soldiers, but to clean up the battlefield.
After all, the warships that had been under construction for several months were all burned down, with hundreds of people killed and injured. The situation near Huikou was simply horrific.
Even if Fu Rui doesn't take it seriously, he still has to send someone to take care of it.
Since arriving at Huikou, these unlucky soldiers have done nothing more than grab drifting logs from the river to see if they can be used.
The corpses floating on the water were carried ashore one after another. Therefore, the complaints of the soldiers were understandable. These tasks were too hellish. The more they did it, the less courageous they became, and the more afraid they became.
The dissatisfaction will naturally pile up higher and higher. As the saying goes, you don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. The soldiers in the city tower provide good food and drink all day long, but they, the little soldiers, are thrown into this place where the father does not love the mother and the mother does not love them.
To reply, in addition to dealing with corpses every day, I also deal with corpses.
Naturally, I feel dissatisfied.
Fu Rui made it clear when he sent them out that all the corpses fished out of the river would be buried on the spot, and he, General Fu, would not pay for the coffins.
Fishing and burying were busy for several days, and all the work revolved around the corpse. Fu Rui didn't know how to express his concern. Since these soldiers were sent by Fu Rui to do such errands, how could they be in the city?
