Nie Sanniang's martial arts are not bad, otherwise it would not be possible to become a top assassin, if she hadn't met Zhao Ziliang, she would not have been planted in his hands several times, but Nie Sanniang's martial arts are only suitable for fighting in the rivers and lakes and assassinating secretly, but not for the battlefield This kind of open and closed fighting, and she is already pregnant at this time, for the sake of the child in her belly, she can only do some logistics work.

In order not to make her feel bored at home, Zhao Ziliang suggested that she help take care of the wounded soldiers, which is something she likes to do, and she is happy about it.

Zhao Ziliang stayed at home for less than an hour before leaving, while Nie Sanniang also hurriedly went to the wounded soldiers' resettlement place after dinner to clean the wounds and change the dressing of some wounded.

Zhao Ziliang took Nuer and a few servants to the county office, and the main generals and colonels in the army had already arrived, except for a few generals on duty on the city wall, everyone else came.

"See the general!" Everyone stood neatly in the lobby and saluted Zhao Ziliang.

"Let's all be exempt!" Zhao Ziliang sat down and raised his hand, since the arrival of the Tubo people, the county government has been regarded by him as a command and liaison office, if there is anything to do directly here, the county order Du Shanming and others can be directly communicated, which is much more convenient, although Du Shanming is quite dissatisfied with Zhao Ziliang's behavior of occupying the magpie's nest, but there is no way, he can only grit his teeth and admit it.

The generals sat down one after another, and Zhao Ziliang said: "Calling you here today is to talk about the battle in the afternoon, the battle has just begun, in the afternoon we used the method of fire attack to burn a large number of enemy troops, Zheng San, you report the casualties on both sides."

Zheng San got up and saluted Zhao Ziliang, and then bowed his hand to the other generals present: "According to statistics, our army killed 228 people, 23 veterans, 45 recruits, and the rest of the soldiers died in the battle. Besides. Our army also suffered 356 casualties, all of which were caused by the arrows of the Tibetans, and from beginning to end, the Tibetan army was unable to climb the city wall. In addition, as for the Tibetan army, according to the statistics of our cleaning of the battlefield, there were about 11,370 corpses collected, and some corpses were incomplete, and some were smashed into meat sauce by stones, so they were not counted, in order to save the strength of the soldiers. Let the soldiers rest well, and the matter of collecting the corpses is done by gathering the people in the city! In addition, we picked up a lot of weapons and shields from outside the city that the Tubo army dropped when they collected their troops, and most of them can be used normally, just enough to be equipped for the young and strong! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked Zheng San to sit down, and said to the generals and officials: "In the battle in the afternoon, we took advantage of it, and the enemy's main general is a second-class product, so he will launch an attack indiscriminately, and almost all the troops that can be used have been used. This kind of stupid thing can only be done by rookies who have no experience in battle, but the Tubo people suffered a big loss today, and they will definitely learn a lesson tomorrow, so we have to be careful! ”

All the generals nodded yes. This is Ma Lan standing up and hugging his fist to Zhao Ziliang and said: "General, when collecting the corpses of the Tubo army outside the venue, more than a dozen Tubo soldiers who were seriously injured and not dead were found, and some of them could still speak. The captives were sent to their patrols, and after interrogation, some of the captives confessed something. This time, the deputy general of Lang Zhidu, the leading general of the Tubo army, is called Iron Blade Xi Nuoluo, a middle-aged general with a calm personality and rich experience in leading troops, and is the right-hand man of Tubo Zampu Xi Dezu. Some captives also confessed that the Tubo people's station in Qilian Mountain was Shuiquwan, and they hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Shuiquwan and stationed heavy troops to guard it, and the distance from Shuiquwan to Panhe County and Wuwei City was almost the same, and the road was relatively flat, so it was easy for the Tubo people to transport grain and grass to the war area! ”

If it weren't for the Qilian Mountains to block, not waiting for Zhao Ziliang to rush from the capital to Panhe County to take office, Panhe County and Wuwei City would have become the bag of the Tubo people, the Qilian Mountains blocked the road for the Tubo people to go north, and there were not many passages to enter the Hexi Corridor from the new city, even if there was a road, it was also a mountain road, extremely steep, not suitable for the passage of the army at all, and the station of the Great Dou Army was in the Great Dou Pull Valley, the name of the Great Dou Army was derived from this place name, and most of the Tang Dynasty raiders Tuyuhun and Tubo had to go to the Great Dou Army Garrison Da Dou Tu Valley, In addition, there are some small roads from the Tubo to the Hexi Corridor in addition to the passage of the Great Dou Tu Valley, but they are not suitable for the passage of the army, and it took several months for the Tubo army to pass through the Qilian Mountains to reach the Shuiqu Bay, and the Tubo people also seized the Shuiqu Bay and spent a lot of time transporting grain and grass here to have the ability to attack Panhe County and Wuwei City.

Zhao Ziliang listened to Ma Lan's words, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and get the Kanyu map!" ”

The two servants quickly carried a bundle of dehaired sheepskin and hung it on the wall with wooden sticks, Zhao Ziliang and the others walked to the map, and Wang rarely pointed to the location of Shuiquwan: "This is Shuiquwan!" ”

Zhao Ziliang walked in, gestured with his fingers, and found that it was indeed as Ma Lan said, the distance from Shuiquwan to Panhe City and Wuwei City was about the same, and the road was relatively easy to walk.

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "This canal bay is a nail that the Tubo people have driven at the foot of the northern foot of Qilian Mountain!" ”

"Not really!" All the generals shouted one after another.

After studying for a while, everyone sat back in place, Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Although I know the advance base and grain and grass hoarding place of the Tubo people at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, I don't have the strength to destroy this grain and grass hoarding land now, so I can only find a way to solve the current dilemma first!" Tomorrow, the Tibetan people will definitely not fight in such a disorderly manner as this afternoon, and the military command is likely to fall into the hands of the deputy general Iron Blade Xi Noluo, if he commands the attack, from tomorrow, I am afraid that the days we are waiting for will not be so good, so in order to fully ensure that there are enough troops on the city wall, and try to let the soldiers rest well and nourish their spirits, so they must take turns to fight. The three young and strong methods reorganized the warriors into four parts, three of which were direct combat steps, and one reserve remained, which could be replenished at any time, which was very good! Since the soldiers have been divided into groups to take turns to defend the city wall, and the generals and colonels are also on duty, when some soldiers go to the city wall to defend themselves, other parts of the generals and soldiers can rest and sleep, but if the battle situation is urgent, they must obey the military order at any time to go to the city wall for reinforcements! Now let's make specific arrangements for the shift shift! ”

After some disputes, humility, and discussion, Zhao Ziliang and others quickly determined the list of shifts.

After the discussion, Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, from tonight onwards, you will be on duty according to this list!" That's the first thing; The second thing, I don't know when this battle will be fought, so it is very important to the distribution of food, Zheng San, you must try to control the consumption of food on your side, you can't eat more per person per meal, but you can't eat too little, you can't eat too little, you have no strength, you eat too much and consume too much food, so you must control the quantity! Also, how is the city defense equipment being built? ”

Zheng San stood up and said: "In the past few days, Tian's subordinates have gathered all the craftsmen in the city to start work day and night, and thirty trebuchets have been built, as long as the Tubo people have similar siege equipment, we can use trebuchets to counteract, but the stones in the city are limited, and the trebuchets are afraid that it will not take long; In addition to trebuchets, we have built 30,000 arrows in the last few days."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Thirty trebuchets are enough, even if you build more trebuchets, there are not enough stones for launching, trebuchets are just decorations, arrows, spears and swords must continue to be built, collect the materials that can be collected, as long as they can barely be used to make arrows and weapons, organize the old and weak women and children to make some related parts of arrows and weapons, and at this time when the whole city is at stake, all the manpower and material resources that can be used must be used. We need to build more weapons and arrows to defend against the Tibetan attack."

Zheng San solemnly agreed: "No! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked Ma Lan again: "Have you found any abnormalities in the past few days of patrolling?" ”

Ma Xuan said: "General, there has been no abnormality for the time being!" ”

Zhao Ziliang instructed: "With the prolongation of the war, there must be some people in the city who are uncertain and uncertain, maybe some people are worried that they will be killed and retaliated against by the Tubo people after the city is broken, so they may make a move to collude with the Tubo people, this general heard that there are many rich merchants in the city who did business with the Tubo people before the war, and focus on these people!" ”

"No!"

After the military discussion ended, Zhao Ziliang went to the camp for wounded soldiers to take a look, Nie Sanniang was still busy, Zhao Ziliang walked over and called her, she turned her head to look at it and asked, "Why are you here?" Doesn't it matter on the walls? ”

"The generals have been arranged to be on duty, there should be no problem, if the Tubo people attack the city at night, the generals on duty will warn!"

Zhao Ziliang said and looked up at the wounded soldiers in the camp, most of them had fallen asleep, and a few of them had been humming because of the serious pain, and saw that the wounds of the wounded soldiers had been treated almost well, so he said: "It's late, you better go back to rest first, you are pregnant, you shouldn't work too hard, come back tomorrow during the day, remember to eat and rest on time!" ”

Nie Sanniang didn't insist, nodded, handed over the matter to an old man beside him, turned around and walked out with the maid, Zhao Ziliang said to Nur: "Nur, you go and send it, take two people to stay with Mrs. to protect during this time, I always feel that the city is already a little unsafe!" ”

"Yes, master!"

Nuer always looks honest, since he was captured by Zhao Ziliang, he was still very resistant at first, and then gradually accepted the reality, feeling that Zhao Ziliang was much better than his former master, so he really regarded Zhao Ziliang as the master. (To be continued.) )
