In the temporary medical center under the city wall, there are people in need of treatment everywhere, and there are people screaming in pain everywhere.
If it weren¡¯t for the large amount of sulfa powder Liu Mingqi brought, I¡¯m afraid many of the people who were screaming would have left by now.
But even so, the casualty rate is still alarming.
It was so shocking that the doctors in the city were already numb.
When the sergeant they treated and rescued died, they would say calmly, "Next one."
Don¡¯t think this is the worst.
The worst thing is not inside Jinzhou City, but outside Jinzhou City.
Inside the tents of the Shiwei coalition forces, there was a miserable scene everywhere.
Today, their crazy attack almost cost the defenders of Jinzhou City nearly 10,000 casualties, but their casualties were even greater.
Originally, siege warfare was not a war of equals.
Usually in a siege battle, the casualties of the attacking side are twice as many as those of the defending side, which is considered reasonable.
If the military elites are different, three times is possible.
In the absence of external forces or internal traitors, it is almost impossible to achieve one-to-one casualties.
It would be even more uncomfortable, especially if the attackers were grassland nomads.
If their overall strength was not much stronger than that of Dakang's defenders, especially the strong men who were temporarily supplemented, the battle loss ratio of three to one would be appropriate.
Before Liu Mingqi and the others came, the battle loss ratio was about two to one.
After all, Jinzhou City is one of the few fortified cities in the world. It has all kinds of war preparation materials and sufficient supplies.
But when Liu Mingqi and the others came over, the situation suddenly changed significantly.
Not to mention the night fire burned down the Wei-Wei coalition camp, but more than 200 of them landed in Jinzhou City. The division of labor began to be clear. On the one hand, the general led the commandos to put out the fire, and on the other hand, the bombardiers kept throwing wooden handle grenades. This caused great damage to the Shiwei coalition forces.
Under the power of bombs, all people are equal.
Even a fierce general like Liu Mingjing would definitely die if he couldn't dodge a wooden-handled grenade thrown at him.
Therefore, the wooden handle grenade caused unimaginable damage to the Shiwei people.
After all, in real war years, those who can wear armor must be a minority among the minority, far from what is shown on TV. Almost even the soldiers wear iron armor.
How can there be so much iron in the world that can make so many armors?
Therefore, most of their Shiwei-Wei coalition troops went into battle wearing cotton-padded clothes without any armor.
The Dakang garrison was similar.
In the entire Dakang, the nine guards of the Forbidden Army did not have all the armor.
At most, half, and mostly cavalry.
For example, the 5,000 Yulin Guards who raided the Liaodong Peninsula last time, as well as the Yulin Guards and Jiangnan's elite coalition forces who came up this time.
Without further ado.
During the two-hour attack this morning, the generals of the vassal tribes all came to the front line to supervise the formation, striving to use the most violent attack to shake the defense of Jinzhou City.
They don¡¯t expect a single hit, but they must inflict great damage to Jinzhou City.
By this time, knowing that the crown prince of Dakang was in Jinzhou City, they no longer had any reservations.
After capturing Jinzhou City and capturing the crown prince of Dakang, then all failures are not considered failures. The tribe will definitely receive generous rewards and rewards from Shi Wei, plus the 30 million taels of silver that Yelu Li Falcon sold on the spot. , enough to make them completely risk it.
What¡¯s the problem with the high number of casualties?
Anyway, they have already asked for reinforcements from the tribe. The reinforcements should start to gather in two or three days. The reinforcements should arrive on the battlefield in as little as seven days and at most half a month.
When reinforcements arrive, what else can Jinzhou City do?
A dead end!
However, imagination is always beautiful, but the reality is a bit sad.
When the casualty statistics came out in the morning, everyone, including Yelu Lixiao, took a breath of air-conditioning and their faces couldn't be more ugly.
Bohai Tribe: 4,521 people died in the battle and 1,355 were injured.
Qiyan tribe: 3,670 people died in the battle and 1,244 were injured.
Baekje tribe: 5,298 people died in the battle and 2,780 were injured.
Youxi tribe: 4,717 people died in the battle and 1,630 were injured.Our time is tight, but time is also on our side. Yelu Lishun said: "From now on, we will attack as many times as possible every day, but we must spread them out as much as possible and disrupt the rhythm."
Sometimes there are many people, and sometimes there are few people. When they thought our attacks were weakening, we suddenly stepped up our attacks. When their wooden handle grenades are falling like crazy, we in turn send fewer people.
How many more hours can their wooden-handled grenades last in this atmosphere of constant attacks? No matter how easy to use a wooden handle grenade is, it cannot be produced without spending time. How can they have so much inventory?
I can guarantee you that by the time our reinforcements arrive, their wooden handle grenades will be exhausted! Then it will be time for us to launch a general attack like we did this morning! "
After Yelu Lishun finished speaking, he heard the expected applause.
But he didn¡¯t see everyone signing up enthusiastically and rushing to play.
Apparently the shadow in the morning is still too deep.
"Everyone worked hard this morning." Yelu Lishun continued: "Starting from this afternoon, Shiwei's army will also join the attack every day! We send no less than 5,000 people every day, and Shiwei will definitely advance and retreat with everyone! "
"Huh¡¡"
Everyone suddenly became interested.
It can also be said that it refreshed the spirit.
In the many previous sieges, Shi Wei did not join.
Of course, it is not always fought by vassal tribes.
It¡¯s just that they attack the city less often, and they usually attack after everyone has been attacking for a while.
In this way, Shi Wei will have more results and less damage.
"But no one has any complaints about this. Even if they do, they won't say it out loud.
The rules on the grassland are like this. The strong can drive the weak to fight, serving as pawns and cannon fodder.
The weak can only rely on the strong to survive, and cannot go against the wishes of the strong. Otherwise, the strong will trample the tribe and destroy their inheritance.
It has been like this for thousands of years.
Now Yelu Lishun publicly announced that Shi Weijun would join in the whole process and live and die with everyone, so they suddenly felt more balanced.
With Shiwei¡¯s army accompanying him, it might be easier to attack the city!
¡¡
The generals of the vassal tribes were satisfied and left with boxes of gold.
Shi Wei was the only one left in the tent.
Yelu Lishun nodded, "How many casualties do you think Dakang suffered today?"
"At least tens of thousands of people!" said a counselor who stood high and looked far away: "I noticed that they rotated at least three times. With such a ratio, the casualties must not be low! Even if there are wooden-handled grenades, the ones on the city wall The fighting never stopped."
After a pause, the counselor looked at Zesac, "By the way, General Zesac, that super fierce general in the north should be your enemy Liu Mingjing, right? He killed everyone today, several times. We have all killed our elite warriors every time."
"snort."
Ze Saci snorted coldly: "If I can go up, I will let him know what it means to be invincible!"
As the most powerful general in Shiwei, he has never been convinced by anyone in this regard.
The last time I had a close encounter with Liu Mingjing, I couldn't detect anything at all.
He admitted that Liu Mingjing and he should be of equal strength, but how could a Dakang man, even if he had strength, compare with a warrior like himself who had been tempered for thousands of years?
Zupuguzi talked about another topic and said: "Your Highness, after Marshal Wu Lizhen received the letter from Fei Ge, he told me that if we need it, they can squeeze out another 30,000 people, up to five days. We'll arrive in time. Do you want them to come?"
"Need not."
Before Yelu Lixun spoke, Chen Kuzhen beside him refused without thinking: "It is important to attack Jinzhou City, but it is more important that they can stabilize Ningyuan City. If they are broken through by the Dakang army due to lack of manpower, Come here and influence the war situation here, who can bear this responsibility?"
Chen Kuzhen felt that Wu Lizhen must not be so kind, and he must want a piece of the pie.
After all, the fight has been so embarrassing for so many months, and Wu Lizhen's responsibility is not small.
Although Li Nanyuan on the Dakang side was a lunatic, he involved a large number of troops, and Ningyuan City also had complete defenses - it took almost half a month just to pry open their shell fortress, acropolis, etc.
But these are not the reasons why you did not capture Ningyuan City.
The emperor and ministers only want results and don't care how many difficulties you encounter.
Therefore, if Wuli Zhen can play a role in capturing Jinzhou City, it will definitely be beneficial to him in the future.
Why do we need you to mix in our achievements?
Yelu Lishun also reacted and shook his head repeatedly: "Forget it! Marshal Wuli Zhen should guard the door card for us! We have reinforcements here."
"yes!"
Zupuguzi nodded in agreement.
This matter has nothing to do with him. He is only responsible for conveying the news.
But he is indispensable for capturing Prince Dakang! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)bsp; But these are not the reasons why you did not capture Ningyuan City.
