When Gu Tong saw Zhuge Qingshan losing control of his emotions, he sighed in his heart. He didn't go up to comfort him, he just stood aside quietly. Even at this time, not only Zhuge Qingshan shed tears, but also the other soldiers followed.
There were corpses everywhere in the camp.
??Looking up, you can still see some dead soldiers, hugging the enemy tightly and never letting go until death; there are also soldiers who have no weapons in their hands, but bite the enemy with their teeth
Just by looking at the situation on the battlefield, we can see how tragic the scene is.
After a long time, Zhuge Qingshan's mood calmed down slightly. He stood up, looked at Gu Tong standing aside, and said in a hoarse voice: "General Gu, I made you laugh."
Gu Tong shook his head and said solemnly: "Magistrate Zhuge, thank you. If it weren't for the support of you and all the brothers, Lu Shengqi's army would have invaded Nanyang. Perhaps they would not be able to take the county seat. But the people in Nanyang County would There will be a disaster."
Zhuge Qingshan said: "This is what I should do. Our mission is to stop Lu Shengqi."
Gu Tong stopped talking and began to take stock of the battlefield.
There are too many corpses in the camp. It took nearly half an hour for Gu Tong and his men to finish counting and burn the soldiers under Lu Shengqi's command, while the corpses of the soldiers on their side were temporarily put aside.
Not long after, Wang Qi¡¯s army arrived.
In fact, when Wang Qi led his troops on the way, he had already received news of the fighting on the front line and knew about Zhuge Qingshan's deadly battle. Along the way, the soldiers under his command were marching in a hurry.
Rushed all the way here.
Wang Qi arranged for the army to be stationed. He directly entered the Chinese army's tent. Gutong, Zhuge Qingshan, Xiahouhu, Mi Mang and others entered, and Zhuge Feng, Du Can and others were below.
Wang Qidao: "Tell me about the situation in the army."
Gu Tong opened his mouth to speak, but he closed his mouth again, looked at Zhuge Qingshan, and said, "Magistrate Zhuge, please speak."
Zhuge Qingshan stood up, his body trembling slightly.
Emotions are a little out of control.
Zhuge Qingshan took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions a little, and then said: "Prime Minister, of the 6,000 soldiers guarding the camp in this battle, 5,526 were killed, and only 470 were left. Four people. From the beginning to the end, not one of our six thousand soldiers retreated or surrendered. Everyone fought to the end. We waited for General Gu¡¯s reinforcements."
Wang Qi was shocked when he heard this.
He had previously led troops into the camp. Because the enemy's corpses had been cleared away in the camp, Wang Qi had not seen the situation at that time. Even so, Wang Qi knew that the fighting would be tragic.
Now I am very surprised to hear it.
This group of soldiers is really formidable. You must know that the soldiers led by Zhuge Qingshan were put together temporarily and are not even elite. But such a group of soldiers could hold back Lu Shengqi's elite troops and could be called a warrior capable of hundreds of battles.
Wang Qidao: "Have you ever disposed of the bones of all the dead soldiers?"
Zhuge Qingshan said: "The corpses of our soldiers are all piled up in the camp. They are gone for the time being. The other injured soldiers are still recovering. After all, many of them were injured after fighting for most of the day."
Wang Qi stood up and said, "Let's go and see the surviving soldiers first. The dead are gone, and the living still need to live on. I want to see our heroes."
"yes!"
Everyone answered in unison.
Everyone followed Wang Qi to the place where the soldiers rested.
There were only more than 470 people left. Although they survived, almost all of them were injured.
Wang Qi led the people into the large camp. I saw many soldiers chatting together, and many soldiers lying on beds to rest. After all, many of them were injured.
After Wang Qi saw it, these people stood up and saluted. Wang Qi waved his hand and said: "You don't have to get up, just lie down. I'm here now just to see you and talk to you."
All the soldiers looked at Wang Qi.
The expressions on their faces were sad, because too many people had been killed and injured. However, they were even more proud because they had blocked the attack of Lu Shengqi's tens of thousands of troops.
Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "I have roughly understood the situation of this battle. Because I took over Donghai County and Pengcheng State in the south, the hinterland of Nanyang was empty and the troops were insufficient."
"Lu Shengqi came to kill, but there were not enough troops, so Magistrate Zhuge personally led you to meet him. Ever since I got the news about Lu Shengqi, I have been going all the way north."
"When I arrived in NanjingWhen I arrived at the county seat of ?? County, I felt relieved when I saw that Lu Shengqi had not reached the county seat. I thought that even if the northern border could not be defended, I could still stop Lu Shengqi. "
"But the situation on the front line is beyond my imagination."
Wang Qi looked solemn and said slowly: "The tenacity of all of you is beyond my imagination; the fighting spirit of all of you is beyond my imagination; and the fighting power of all of you is beyond my imagination."
"You are not the elite on the battlefield."
"Some of you are Nanyang's standing soldiers, and some are ordinary people. But you have blocked the attack of Lu Shengqi's tens of thousands of troops, making it impossible for Lu Shengqi to move forward."
"You are worthy heroes."
Wang Qi's words were even more sincere and he continued: "Here, on behalf of the thousands of people in the entire Langya Kingdom, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Without you, there would be no stability in Nanyang County, let alone the stability of the Langya Kingdom."
"Without you, perhaps the army under Lu Shengqi's command would have entered the country like locusts, plundering everywhere."
"Causing countless losses."
"Because of your desperate fight, the thousands of people in our Langya Kingdom will be safe and secure. You have used your flesh and blood to build an indestructible city wall."
"thank you all!"
Wang Qi said this and bowed to express his thanks.
After he finished speaking, the surviving soldiers burst into tears again and choked with sobs. For these people, they experienced the most difficult fighting.
Thinking about it now, it feels difficult. When they were fighting, no one thought much about it, there was only one thought in their mind.
It¡¯s about holding the camp.
Block Lu Shengqi's army.
Wang Qi remained silent, letting the soldiers choke and cry, letting their emotions vent, and letting the soldiers chatter about fighting.
After a long while, everyone's emotions gradually stabilized. Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "The dead are gone, and the living need to continue. In this battle, the dead cannot be forgotten, and the surviving ones also need to continue living."
"Everyone, regardless of whether they are soldiers or civilians. First, the pensions for the dead will be increased. In addition, their families will be given priority by the government to ensure that the families of heroes will not suffer misery."
"Second, you living heroes will be rewarded individually, without using the army's reward system. The victory in this battle depends entirely on you, so we will give you extra rewards and double your rewards."
"In addition to financial rewards, soldiers will also be promoted and trained. Ordinary people will also focus on local official positions and serve as village chiefs and other positions."
"Your efforts will not be forgotten."
"Whether they are living or dead, they are all heroes of our Langya country and they must be remembered."
Wang Qi¡¯s voice was decisive.
These people and soldiers gathered together to resist Lu Shengqi, not for awards or money, but Wang Qi had to give awards.
They deserve this.
"Thank you, sir."
The soldiers in the camp shouted one by one. They already respected Wang Qi. Because of Wang Qi, Nanyang County is what it is today. Now after listening to Wang Qi's words, they admire Wang Qi even more.
After Wang Qi finished speaking, he ordered: "Everyone have a good rest. In the evening, after dinner, everyone will gather to see the fallen heroes off."
"yes!"
All the soldiers answered in unison.
Everyone¡¯s expressions were solemn.
Wang Qi comforted them again, asked about everyone's injuries, and then took them away. Next, Wang Qi visited the injured cavalry. After all, Gu Tong led people to kill, but some cavalry were injured and died in the battle.
Wang Qi walked around for a while before returning to the camp.
It was getting late, and the army was making rice.
After all the soldiers had finished their dinner, Wang Qi gathered all his troops. Even the more than 400 people who were injured, even if some were injured, everyone came.
Everyone stood in front of the placed corpses.
This is the corpse of a soldier from Wang Qi's side.
As for the corpses of the soldiers on Lu Shengqi¡¯s side, they had all been burned and disposed of long ago. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
