A dim dawn penetrated the dark clouds all over the sky and fell on the city wall full of sharp arrows.

A bloody and long night passed and it was finally dawn.

At this time, the new city had become a terrifying cemetery. Inside and outside the city were full of corpses. Blood slowly oozed out of the piles of corpses piled up into small hills and flowed everywhere. There was no better "mountain of corpses and seas of blood". The battlefield was filled with bright red fog, which almost flooded the entire city. Every corner of the city was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, which suffocated Li Rui.

The battle in the city has ended. More than a thousand elite Hu people who were captured and more than a thousand were originally intended to be incorporated into the Liangzhou army, but rebelled in the middle of the night and almost killed the Liangzhou army. All the prisoners were killed. The streets and alleys were covered with corpses, which looked like messy, making people feel numb.

The Liangzhou Army captured some prisoners during the battle. After interrogation, they finally figured out the origin of the matter: When they were about to break through the new city, dozens of Hu people hid in the cellar and escaped their search. When Hu Yanyan and Shi Le commanded the army to encircle the new city and launch a raid, the Liangzhou Army had to send almost all the rear forces to the city wall to resist the fierce attack of the enemy. They took the opportunity to sneak out and attacked the Liangzhou Army soldiers guarding the prisoners of war, released all the prisoners locked up and led them to find weapons hidden in advance... When the Liangzhou Army found that something was wrong, the more than a thousand prisoners had been re-armed and launched an attack on them from behind...

All of this was arranged in advance. The dozens of elite soldiers received orders to hide in advance, and the weapons and equipment that were enough to arm more than 2,000 people were also hidden in advance, and they were hidden very secretly. In addition, after the Liangzhou army took down the new city, they were busy cleaning up the bodies and repairing the city defense facilities. They did not conduct the most careful search of the buildings in the city, so they were allowed to hide.

It was such a thorough and vicious plan. They implemented every step smoothly and were infinitely close to success. However, they never dreamed that Li Rui, a commodity, appeared in the Jin army. A few buckets of hot turmeric and a can of black gunpowder, made them all scared, and helped the Liangzhou army turn the defeat around!

When talking about this, the captive's eyes couldn't help but floated towards Li Rui, and deep fear appeared on his face.

Facing their fearful gaze, Li Rui grinned a little apologetically... I'm sorry, you have failed and you have to throw your head away. I'm really sorry!

He never participated in close combat from beginning to end, and he had no blood on his body. In addition, his appearance was handsome. This smile from the heart was not considered hideous and terrifying, right? However, with such a smile, he was so scared that the Hu people were shaking like sieves. He kowtowed like sieves. He even shouted for mercy. Seeing their fearful appearance, Li Rui couldn't help but want to find a mirror to look at him to see if he was really so terrible.

Beigong Jing was also in a cold sweat, but not because of Li Rui, but because of the enemy's careful and vicious plan. The other party seemed to have expected that he would lead the main force of the Liangzhou army to counterattack the new city, so he started to make arrangements early and set up such a terrible trap for him! Zhang Ni's defeat in the field of the city was the first link of this trap. The Liangzhou army took advantage of the loopholes in the city defense and the siege equipment abandoned by the Hu people outside the city and captured the new city in a fierce attack. Zhang Ni was able to take the new city in a round of attack.

The second ring was the second ring. Hu Yanyan and Shi Le led the army to attack at night, and launched an attack unexpectedly and almost broke the city in one fell swoop. However, this was still the third ring of this trap. The more than a thousand people who were really killed were still the Qiang, Hu and Di, Hu infantry who had originally wanted to incorporate into the Liangzhou army! Which army could not collapse when they were struggling to resist the fierce attacks of several times their army at any cost?

He asked himself that the Liangzhou army could not do it.

"Kill them all." He ordered coldly.

Immediately, the Liangzhou army soldiers with red eyes stepped forward and dragged all the prisoners down. They raised their swords and rolled their heads to the ground. Dozens of headless corpses were added to the broken city that had swallowed too much life.

"Snap time to repair the city defense fortifications, clean up the bodies, especially the holes in the west gate and the city walls, and repair them as soon as possible. The Hu Guan returned from a great defeat this time and will definitely launch a more fierce attack. If the city defense fortifications cannot be repaired before they launch an attack, we will be dead." He issued an order to the officers in a calm voice.

Zhang Xiong said in a deep voice: "This fierce battle, our army suffered heavy casualties. Three Quhou died in battle, and two were seriously injured!"

Beigong Jing frowned: "The loss is so great!?"

Zhang Xiong nodded a little heavy.

Beigong Jing was a little silent. This time he brought five thousand men, including the Liangzhou Army, a total of nineteen Quhou, who were promoted after a long period of observation and testing. The result was good, but five were killed and injured in just one day!

"How many people have our army lost?" he asked.

Zhang Xiong said: "Last night, our army fought with the enemy for more than ten rounds, killing and injuring three or four thousand enemy soldiers, and our army suffered nearly a thousand casualties."

Beigong Jing smiled bitterly: "Nearly a thousand... including the casualties during the siege yesterday, in just one day and one night, our army suffered nearly two thousand casualties!"

Zhang Xiong said: "Many wounded were slightly injured, and they could recover their combat effectiveness after a few days of rest."

Beigong Jing still smiled bitterly: "But will the Hulu give us a few days to lick our wounds?"

Zhang Xiong was speechless.

Beigong Jing's voice was a little powerless. He was not afraid of the Hu people, otherwise he would not dare to attack the Hu people with a thousand or hundreds of people again and again. But the situation now really made him feel very powerless. The army he led was only 5,000, and nearly 2,000 were killed or injured in one day and one night. What about the Hu army? Their strength was almost endless, and thousands of people were killed or injured without blinking. Even if four were replaced, they could easily replace all of his thousands of elite soldiers!

This battle... I'm afraid I can't win it!

"Try to treat all the wounded, use the best medicine to save as much as possible!" he said.

Zhang Xiong did not have much hope for this. A veteran like him who had experienced many battles naturally knew that there were not many people who died on the battlefield under the enemy's swords, guns, swords and halberds. There were many people who died of wound infection or even tetanus after being injured. There were no anti-inflammatory drugs these days. Once the wound was infected and inflamed, no matter how strong the person was, it would be a good fortune. Every soldier in the Liangzhou Army brought gold-chuang medicine, but whether it was effective was all depends on fate. Beigong Jing hoped that all the wounded could survive, and that was destined to be a beautiful wish.

After Zhang Xiong left, Li Rui looked at Beigong Jing and frowned and asked, "Will many injured people die?"

Beigong Jing looked very tired and forced herself to answer: "Well, most of them will die. But now the weather is cold and the probability of wound inflammation is a little smaller, so you should be able to survive a few more."

Li Rui murmured to himself: "The wound is inflamed... the wound is inflamed..." The more he muttered, the more his heart sinks.

In an era without antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, wound inflammation means that one foot has entered the gates of hell. Throughout history, I don’t know how many powerful generals have fallen into wound infection. In an era when modern medicine has not yet been established, people are so fragile.

Beigong Jing was also very annoyed, so she took out a sheepskin water bag and opened it, raised her head and drank a few sips, and then handed it to Li Rui: "After a night of beating, you must be thirsty, so take a few sips."

When Li Rui took it, he saw the blood stains on the water bag. He guessed that it might have been found from the Hu man who was killed, and he felt nauseous. But now he was really thirsty, so he raised his head and took a sip...

The mouth was a little sweet and a little wine-flavored, but more of it was a fishy smell that made him unbearable. It took him a lot of effort to swallow it, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ma Milk Wine?"

Beigong Jing said: "It's not certain, it may be milk wine or goat milk wine. Anyway, it's milk wine."

Li Rui asked: "Is there a lot of this thing?"

Beigong Jing said: "There are a lot of people, and there are thousands of bags collected from the Hu people who died in battle."

Li Rui's eyes lit up and he said, "I have a way!"

Beigong Jing was confused: "What do you have a way? Tell me clearly."

Li Rui said excitedly: "I have a way to save the wounded!"

Beigong Jing was even more excited than him, and grabbed his hand and asked, "Do you have a way? Tell me quickly, what's the way? Tell me quickly!"

Li Ruiyangyang raised the milk wine in his hand and said, "Use this to save!"

Beigong Jing was stunned: "Use this to save me? Are you making me happy, right?"

Li Rui said: "I said yes! Major General, please send me all the milk wine to me immediately, and give me a house and some staff... Oh, by the way, it's better to transfer a few carpenters to me, it's useful!"

Beigong Jing became more and more surprised as he heard it: "What does this have to do with saving people?"

Li Rui said: "Now there is no time to explain, just give me these!"

Beigong Jing thought about it and felt that what he wanted was not a very important thing, so it would be fine to give it to him. This guy used ordinary sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal to prepare gunpowder with terrible power. Maybe he could use these milk wine to make good medicine to save the lives of countless wounded people! So he called a captain and said, "Colle all the milk wine and send it to Li Quhou! Twelve more craftsmen to him and send it with him!"

The captain bowed his fists and said, "Here!" and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Soon, amid the complaints of many Liangzhou soldiers, the milk wine seized from the Hu people was confiscated one by one, and the one who turned into a car and sent it to Li Rui.

I guess the entire Liangzhou army will hate this guy to death.
Chapter completed!
