The city was full of joy, but the camp was gloomy.

The surviving soldiers moved back listlessly, and many of the wounded were supported by their robes, and from time to time there were bursts of miserable cries. And the families of the soldiers who were waiting for them in the rear were also crying. When Guo Rupan saw this scene, his face showed a hint of disgust, and he waved his hand: "Order, go back to the camp!" Rest for today. ”

With that, he turned around and headed for his huge tent, surrounded by a group of soldiers. The rest of the generals looked at each other, and after a while, they all left one after another, returning to their camp with their subordinates.

Looking at this scene, Pan Si was expressionless, and then his heart was already full of anger. His teeth clenched and creaked, and his gums were bleeding.

After taking a few deep breaths, Fang calmed down, and Pan Si beat his horse towards the retreating soldiers.

"General, it's my incompetent......"

Yujiang and Ai Daqing knelt on the ground, kowtowing and pleading, with a hint of crying in their voices.

Behind them, the defeated soldiers fell to their knees, and there were low cries that could not be suppressed. They were also afraid in their hearts, for fear that they would be slaughtered with a knife like those people just now, after all, no matter what they said, they would also be defeated.

"Get up, you're right, you're playing well!"

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Pan Si suddenly said something after staring at them quietly for a while.

Everyone was stunned. The most extravagant thing they originally hoped for was just a lighter punishment, but they didn't expect that Pan Si would praise them.

"You have tried your best, and it is not your sin that you can't attack, I see all this."

Pan Si turned over and dismounted, personally helped Ai Daqing and Yujiang up, and patted them on the shoulder.

"Get up, get up." Then he raised his voice to the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground.

The butt determines the head, and this sentence is applicable to Pan Si's current situation. If he led the army to attack Chengcheng County alone, he would definitely do his best to attack, and in today's situation, he would definitely be harsh on the soldiers who had returned from defeat, and then kill the last batch. Even he would not let the soldiers retreat, but would drive them to attack the city again and fight to the death. Even if it can't be captured, it will consume some of the defenders in the city. He will not feel sorry for the consumption of his soldiers - because after Chengcheng County is conquered, these consumed soldiers will be replenished several times.

But now it's different, he's fighting for Guo Rupan. After conquering Chengcheng County, the benefits will not be his turn, and the replenishment of soldiers will not be his turn, and the soldiers will die when they die, and there will be no replenishment. In this case, of course, he will feel sorry for the attrition of the soldiers.

So he won't try his best, but want to preserve his strength. The previous killing was also helpless, so it was for Guo Rupan to see. Otherwise, how would Guo Rupan give up today?

The killing has made the soldiers afraid, and now it is necessary to give some benefits, listen to the words, and make the soldiers grateful, so that they can be loyal to themselves.

"Even though we have lost, we will still be rewarded. The official has already promised a reward, and those who climb the city wall for the first time will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and the sentry will be sealed! The first person to break the city gate will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and the total number of seals will be sealed! ”

Pan Si paused and continued: "This time, there are no people who break the city, but there are those who go to the city, how can the words of this official be broken?" ”

He swept his gaze over the crowd and said in a loud voice, "Wu Tiancheng, you come out." ”

"Yes!"

With a loud answer, the shirtless man who had just killed all sides in the city strode out.

"You've done a good job, you've given me a long face." Pan Si patted him on the shoulder and said lightly.

What he said was from the heart, Wu Tiancheng's performance on the city wall was really eye-catching. When fighting, such strong personal bravery always attracts special attention. If there is a fierce general in the army who performs very well, then there will be a considerable degree of improvement in the morale of the army.

"Come, bring the silver!"

Pan Si turned around and beckoned.

Immediately, a soldier came over with a money bag and handed it to him, Pan Si opened the pocket, grabbed a handful from it, and then slowly let go of his hand.

In the sunlight, the silver reflects the enchanting light.

"Fifty taels of silver." Pan Si smiled, handed the money bag to Wu Tiancheng, and then turned around and ordered: "See which sentry officer died in battle, let Wu Tiancheng make up for it." ”

Wu Tiancheng's face turned red, and the originally depressed mood now turned into excitement, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and said loudly: "Thank you, General." ”

Pan Si waved his hand and helped him up, and then comforted the other wounded soldiers.

The soldiers who returned from the defeat were not only not punished, but were comforted, and they were all grateful, but they forgot that it was Pan Si who forced them to die before.

After tossing for half an hour, Pan Si's battalion returned to his camp. Not long after, Guo Rupan and others sent several large truckloads of grain, which can be regarded as compensation for their desperate efforts today.

Outside the city, it was quiet. For fear that the officers and soldiers at the head of the city would shoot arrows again, even the invading army did not send anyone to clean up the corpses.

Dong Ce stood at the head of the city, looking at the messy corpse below, his brows furrowed.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, if these corpses are not disposed of in time, it is easy to develop a plague, and then it will be catastrophic. But at this time, no one in the city can take care of this, everyone is busy, a hot scene.

After the retreat of the breaking army, Liu Ruozai began to arrange the next things.

After this battle, it is just the beginning, and there is more work to be done. Wounded soldiers need to be taken care of, and soldiers who died in battle need to deal with the aftermath and need to arrange bereavement benefits. The city needs to be cleaned, the materials consumed need to be replenished, and the battle exploits need to be counted...... There are all kinds of people, I don't know how many, it is Liu Ruozai and other civilian officials who have always known the army and managed the army, all of them are one head and two big.

Zhang Cheng can't be counted on at all, it's no problem for this person to talk about his heart, it's no problem to recite poetry, and even play official power to suppress military generals, but if he is really allowed to do things, it will definitely be bad. Fortunately, there is also Li Keshou beside him, as soon as the Chengcheng County Lord Bo retreated, he took many people to the city wall and ordered them to clean up. And the women in the city have already boiled hot water and hot rice, and even he has prepared medicine.

With him in his hands, Liu Ruozai suddenly felt a lot less pressure.

"What a cadre." Looking at Li Keshou, who was directing the people to carry the injured soldiers down, Liu Ruozai said secretly in his heart.

The war here has come to an end for the time being, and Dong Ce has also returned to his own territory with his people. A house under the west gate had become a camp for him, his family, and fifty soldiers who had been transferred, and the people here were persuaded by Li Keshou's half-soft and half-hard to leave, and they were empty. There are not many large families living here, but three or four courtyards are opened, which is enough to accommodate more than 100 people stationed here.

There are only about 20 soldiers on duty at the head of the city, and now it is daytime after all, so you don't need to be too careful, if the intruding army comes to attack, you can see it from afar. Besides, today's Chuang army hit a hard nail at the south gate, and it should not attack again.

Tossed all night last night, whether it was Dong Ce's family or the soldiers who were transferred, they were all sleepy, and Wang Tong was responsible for arranging the house for everyone. When there was a battle in Nancheng, everyone was on strict alert, and the army withdrew, and after Dong Ce came back, he assigned the guards to let the rest of the people go to rest.

Even if the family members were going to sleep, they did not forget to play with the war horses first, feed the horses, and tie them up in the yard before going to sleep.

Just when Dong Ce returned to his station, Zhu Dong also entrusted the affairs of the city to Xiahouping, and returned to the camp with blood and exhaustion. Compared with before, the camp was much more lively, the wounded soldiers were all placed here, and it was Li Keshou's people who took care of them. As soon as he entered, he could hear the screams and painful moans of the wounded soldiers, which made Zhu Dong feel pale. In this battle of the city wall, although the invading army suffered heavy losses, the defenders were not without battle losses. About 30 were killed in the battle, more than a dozen were seriously wounded, and there were more than 30 or 40 lightly wounded. Those who are seriously injured basically have a very low chance of surviving, and even if they can survive, it is estimated that they will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future. Coupled with the number of people killed in the battle, at this station, more than 10% of the soldiers under Zhu Dong's command went.
