Chapter 172: Procrastination
Zhao Feng took off the sackcloth: "Originally, I planned to send someone to clean up the corpse." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"But that's what you say."
After speaking, he groaned: "Then let's stay for a few more days." β
"It's good to get them used to it."
"Let them know the brutality of the battlefield."
"And, in a few days."
"Maybe it's useful."
"Let's go out on patrol."
Zhang Lei arched his hand: "Obey." β
With that, he turned around and left the chamber.
Zhao Tiezhu and others also left the meeting hall.
Wait for these people to go.
Zhao Feng continued to apply the sackcloth.
For five days.
The anti-thief side did not make any movement.
This was expected by Zhao Feng.
And Zhao Feng's eyes have been swollen for the past few days.
The effect of cold compresses is not obvious.
During this period, it was illuminated with a bronze mirror.
Didn't notice either, there was bloodshot in the eye.
Zhao Feng felt quite strange.
I'm really worried that my eyes will go blind in the future.
Then.
Zhao Tiezhu walked into the conference hall and arched his hand: "Family master." β
"The corpses under the city are starting to stink."
"Do you want to send someone to clean it up?"
Zhao Feng did not answer directly.
Instead, he asked: "Lightly wounded soldiers and seriously wounded soldiers." β
"How's the recovery?"
Zhao Tiezhu thought for a while: "I heard that most of the soldiers who were slightly injured were already fine. β
"Seriously wounded soldiers, it seems that there are some, and they have not been rescued."
"Most of the seriously injured soldiers have begun to get better."
Zhao Feng nodded: "Since you lightly injured the soldiers, it's almost all right." β
"Then the anti-thief side should be about the same."
Then he said the point: "I'm waiting for two days." β
"If within two days."
"The anti-thief side did not attack."
"We're going to clean up the bodies again."
Zhao Tiezhu arched his hand: "Obey." β
With that, he withdrew from the chamber.
After Zhao Tiezhu left.
Zhao Feng continued to apply sackcloth to his eyes.
However, it didn't work.
Another peaceful day.
Following.
Morning.
Outside the city, there was a "Knock! Boom! Boom! The sound of drums.
Zhao Feng walked out of the conference hall.
Come to the edge of the city walls.
The anti-thief side has been found and the formation has been lined up.
Prepare for another siege.
Moreover, looking at the scale of the formation, it actually exceeded the previous few times.
Zhao Feng guessed that the number of thieves should exceed 6,000.
I don't know that it was from the besieging camp that mobilized soldiers and horses.
Reinforcements arrived.
It's a pity that the specifics are not known at all now.
There's no time to think about it.
Zhao Feng immediately said to Dian Wei: "Send a person who is not afraid of death." β
"And you have to be loud people."
"Hurry up and go to the anti-thief formation."
"Say so and so."
Dian Wei arched his hand: "Huh." β
After that, I went to arrange it right away.
Not long.
The gate opened, just enough for a horse to pass through.
Meanwhile.
Above the city wall, the suspension bridge also began to be slowly lowered.
A soldier rides a fast horse.
Just walked out of the city gates.
He gave the horse's ass a whip.
The horses accelerated rapidly.
Run towards the suspension bridge.
At this time, the drawbridge has not been completely lowered.
It's only about two-thirds of the way down.
Wait for the drawbridge to be reached immediately.
The suspension bridge is also a few feet above the ground.
to the edge of the drawbridge.
The fast horse took a stride and ran directly out of the drawbridge.
At this time, the suspension bridge was immediately slowly pulled up.
Less than a hundred paces away.
Fast horses are here in a flash.
The anti-thieves saw that only one horse was running over.
There was no shooting either.
I want to hear what Zhao Feng wants to say.
The fast horse ran to the front of the formation and shouted: "The enemy commander has come out to speak." β
As soon as this sentence was shouted.
The beating of the anti-thieves' drums stopped.
A man dressed in silver-white shining armor.
Zema walked out: "What's the matter?" β
The soldier on the horse glanced at the man: "The county commander wants to question the general." β
"Do you want the corpses of your own soldiers?"
"Our army has been helping and has been in custody for six days."
"It stinks now."
"Do you have to wait for the corpse to rot before the general comes to collect it?"
This sentence is said.
The one who hears the voice of the anti-thief side.
Start talking right away.
Talk.
When the man in the silver-white armor saw this.
His face changed, and he said loudly: "Nonsense! β
"Who said General Ben didn't want to collect the body."
"The bodies are all under the walls."
"How did General Ben send someone to collect the corpse?"
Then the conversation changed: "No! β
"This general is, he can't bear to die without a place to bury."
"That's when the corpses decompose, and they send troops to attack the city."
"Just take the nine gates."
"Naturally, it will be a good life and burial, and the fallen soldiers."
The soldiers on the horse didn't know how to refute.
I had to say loudly: "The county commander will explain." β
"If the general has a heart."
"You can immediately send a small number of people to collect the corpse."
Worried that his eloquence would not be enough to deal with the opposing general.
Then he said, "Tell me to take my leave!" β
After saying that, he turned the horse's head.
A clamp on the horse's belly and shouted: "Drive!" β
The man in the silver-white shining armor saw the soldiers on Zhao Feng's side running away.
He glanced at the person next to him.
The person next to him immediately sent a bow and arrow.
The man in silver-white armor took the bow and arrow.
Pulled a full bow.
Aim at the back of the soldier on the fast horse.
Aim for a moment.
Finally, the bow and arrow were collected.
Mention it to the person next to you: "Send two hundred men to collect the body." β
After waiting for the messenger soldiers to ride their horses back to the moat.
And didn't take the suspension bridge.
Instead, you walk slowly over the boardwalk.
I was worried that I would be late.
As soon as the opponent's drum beats change, they will immediately start attacking.
So don't dare to delay time.
You can only ride a horse over the drawbridge.
Because the plank bridge was not enough to support the impact of the fast horse's running.
And the boardwalk is not wide.
If the speed is too fast, it is easy to have accidents.
In case it falls into the river.
Then you may miss the opportunity.
But slowly, there is nothing wrong.
The gates were immediately opened, allowing a horse to pass through.
Let the soldiers into the city.
After the soldiers entered the city.
The gates were immediately closed.
It didn't take long for the soldiers to return to the city.
Zhao Feng saw that the anti-thief's formation began to retreat.
A few hundred people came out of it.
Slowly march towards the walls.
It was followed by dozens of ox carts.
The men walked to the moat.
found that Zhao Feng had no intention of putting down the suspension bridge.
before crossing the river from the plank bridge.
The body was then carried across the river.
Put it on the ox cart and load the cart.
I watched it for a while.
Zhao Feng turned around and walked into the conference hall.
Kneel down directly on the throne.
After Dian Wei followed, he asked, "Why did you return the body to the thief at this time?" β
Zhao Feng smiled: "There are several reasons. β
"First, our soldiers looked at the corpses for six days."
"It's been a serious impact on morale."
"Some people may be more courageous in the future."
"But there are also some people who may be intimidated."
"So it takes a few days of relief."
"Second, return the body to them."
"It can make the morale of the thief who has just recovered instantly drop down."
"In this way, within three days, the thieves will not attack the city."
After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he stopped.
