War is never child's play, let alone a treat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fighting a war is not only about money, but also about killing people.

In just half a day's effort, the Turkic tentative attack caused hundreds of casualties and more than 100 fresh lives in Pingyang's women's army, which were still there a moment ago, but at this time, they became corpses covered with white cloth.

Li Xiuning personally inspected them one by one, lifted the white cloth covering them, and carefully identified them.

"Her name is Worm Niang, her surname is Wang, and we usually call her Mother Big Worm, because she is burly and has great strength. But in fact she is very attentive and a good woman. Because she was once captured and humiliated by thieves, she was saved, but her family refused to recognize her again, and later she joined my women's army・・・・・・・"

At this point, she paused several times.

I opened another one, so that I could still say the woman's name accurately. This made Li Chao very impressed. Three thousand women's army, it is said that Li Xiuning can call each of them by name, and can even tell where they follow her, what characteristics they have, and so on.

Based on this, Li Chao knew why Li Xiuning was able to bring out an army of women who did not let the eyebrows. In the barracks, sometimes, as long as the general can call out the names of some ordinary soldiers, this is enough to make the soldiers extremely excited.

"We will not let their blood be shed in vain, today every sister who has been killed in battle, every soldier, I will have their names recorded, and when they return to the court in triumph, I will personally present this list to His Majesty, and ask for merit and merit for them. I would like to persuade Your Majesty to personally establish a medal and award them a commemorative medal. Give them honour and stipends. ”

"I promise."

Li Xiuning said gratefully, "Thank you, San Lang." ”

"You don't need to thank me, I should thank them, they sacrificed for the country today, and these deserve to be remembered forever. After the war, I will change the name of this place to Niangziguan and build a monument to the heroes here to commemorate their sacrifice and remember it forever. ”

Coming out of the hospital, Li Chao's mood was also a little heavy.

War is like that, it always carries death and cannot be avoided.

In one attempt, so many people died.

One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.

"Saburo's hospital is very good, and the casualties have been reduced a lot."

"If you wish, I want to remove the Lady Army from the gate and let the others take over."

Li Xiuning shook his head.

"When the sisters of the Women's Army first joined my team, they already knew that there would be a day when we had fought many battles and suffered many casualties, and these did not scare us. Although we are women, we are also soldiers of the Tang Dynasty when we wear battle robes and hold swords. ”

"At this time, we will not run away." Her tone was very firm, which was another side that Li Chao had never seen before.

This kind of Li Xiuning is a little strange, but it makes him admire it even more.

Li Chao took a long breath, stood at the door of the temporary hospital, and looked inside, many female soldiers came down from the city to visit their wounded comrades-in-arms, and some came to see the last of their fallen comrades-in-arms.

Their hearts were heavy, but none of them cried, and these women were strong.

"I want to hold a grand funeral for the fallen soldiers, eight people will carry the coffin, the battle flag will be covered, and the soldiers will watch the ceremony and see them off. Their ashes are also collected, their relics are archived, and finally given to their families. ”

Li Xiuning's eyes lit up and she agreed with this idea.

"Okay."

The female soldiers of the Women's Army, each with a more complicated experience, is a group of injured women. But here, they are no longer those weak women, they have become brave warriors, they have become a part of the Women's Army, and they work together to let the people of Datang know the prestige of the Women's Army.

A grand funeral is necessary, which is not only a recognition of them, but also a memory of them, and at the same time, it can also make those soldiers have a collective sense of honor.

Lady off.

The Turks began to cut down trees as if no one was around the pass, building siege equipment.

In Guancheng, Li Chaozheng and Li Xiuning held a grand funeral for the fallen women's army. Because it was in wartime, it was cremated in the end.

But a grand funeral was held for them.

The female soldiers personally scrubbed the bodies of their former comrades-in-arms and put on new clothes for them.

It has been suggested that they should be given women's dresses, and that they should not have passed with such an identity because of the changes in their lives and ended up being soldiers.

Moreover, there is no rule or history of women burying with military rites.

Li Chao respected the opinions of the women's army, and he asked Li Xiuning's opinion. Li Xiuning hoped that the women's army would be buried with military salutes, and hoped that they would be buried in battle robes.

Li Xiuning asked the women's army, and they were surprisingly consistent.

"We died as soldiers, on the battlefield, to defend our homeland and country, so we should hold a funeral as soldiers, and we should let them wear battle robes."

Li Chao adopted this opinion.

Each of the fallen soldiers scrubbed their bodies, arranged their remains, and finally changed them into clean battle robes. They even made some wooden swords as burial goods.

"Stand upright!"

"Raise your gun!"

All the female soldiers, all the male soldiers.

The men raised their spears and erected two long rows of guns, while the women drew their horizontal knives and erected two swords.

The rest of the soldiers lined up neatly.

Li Chao took off his helmet.

The marching band played a low sound.

Eight men carried a stretcher on which a fallen female soldier was covered with a red military flag.

"Salute!"

A total of thirteen female soldiers were killed.

Thirteen piles of firewood were piled up in the field.

After the mourning music was played, the thirteen female soldiers were also carried onto the pyre one by one.

Li Chao walked in front of them and said a word, he didn't say much, leaving more time for Li Xiuning. Li Xiuning reviewed the life of these thirteen female soldiers in detail, and said a lot, and the female soldiers in the field were all in tears, but they did not cry.

In the end, Li Chao handed the torch to Li Xiuning, and the commander of the women's army personally sent his fallen men on the last journey.

The torch ignited the pyre, and the dry firewood and the oil poured it on soon ignited a fire, and the thirteen female soldiers who died in battle were also swallowed up little by little in this tongue of fire.

"Blood debt must be paid in blood!"

Li Chao nodded, "Don't worry, we will make the Turks pay a hundredfold and a thousand times the price." ”

"Don't let any of the Turks go."

"Don't worry, none of them want to leave."

After leaving from there, Li Chao went straight to the armory in the city.

There, a lot of saltpeter and sulfur have already been delivered.
