Chapter 603 Tomb

Jianchuan, Yushi Military Station.

The originally gray-white stone wall is now black and smoky and dilapidated, and many places have collapsed. It can only be roughly estimated that the wall should have been nearly four feet high before.

It is said to be a military depot, but it is actually a large-scale fortification that formed a stone fort.

According to Wu Kai's experience in Tanshi and Haixia Tunjun for many years, it usually takes half a year to complete this kind of fortification, and it also requires a lot of labor and enough high-quality stone materials. Obviously, the Yushi Military Station did not have the foundation to build such a large-scale fortification, but it was built, thanks to the help of magic.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Wu Kai was sure that if the Yushi Military Station could be built in a short period of time, there would be help from monks who were highly cultivated and good at five-element earth-attribute techniques, perhaps even a few such masters.

But now the Yushi Military Station must be overhauled.

Wu Kai is in the military depot that arrived yesterday. The previous encounter was the day before yesterday. After teaming up with General Li Can, who was outflanking, and annihilating the barbarians caught in the encounter, Wu Kai repaired on the spot according to the order. After that, he witnessed the offensive and defensive counterattack at the Yushi Military Station from a distance.

It wasn't until dawn that the battlefield entered the formal cleaning stage. Bury and clean up.

Wu Kai kept a total of eight survivors. After handing them over to General Li, he has been working with the adjutant to deal with the follow-up of the casualties, and to record and report the credit of everyone in the battalion.

The previous diamond formation was a relatively compact battle formation integrating offense and defense. The advantage was that it could replace the chaotic contact of the entire army with point-to-face contact. This leads to great differences in the intensity felt by soldiers in different positions experiencing the same battle formation.

Let's say the innermost crossbowman. They shot their bows three times back and forth, not to mention dangerous, even the face-to-face encounters of the barbarians were seen when the battlefield was cleared. The same is true for the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers in the back row, and they are not even as good as the long-handed crossbowmen.

The spearmen in the front row experienced the intensity of the war. That was really a desperate struggle. The casualties are basically the people in the first three or four rows.

In this way, there will be a difference when calculating credit. According to the rules, all those who died in battle were awarded two ranks of meritorious service, and it was included in the previous record of meritorious service, and then it was converted to the family members. For the rest, the meritorious service will be calculated according to killing the enemy, and one turn will be awarded for killing one person. The rest who did not kill the enemy can only get the collective credit of the entire battalion, and generally it is rewards without merit.

So when it comes to killing the enemy, first-line soldiers who have some cultivation base can theoretically quickly accumulate meritorious service, because firstly, their strength is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and secondly, they often appear in the form of "blades" in the battle formation The key position can be in frequent contact with the enemy.

But theory is theory, in fact, the casualty rate of soldiers with cultivation base is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. After all, there are only a few who earn enough meritorious service and pay it back.

After all, benefits and risks are directly proportional, which also works in the military.

After Wu Kai finished everything, he waited until yesterday afternoon to receive the order to allow him to enter the military depot for repairs. And other people under General Li's command had already entered the military depot before Wu Kai.

It's not that General Li Shen is deliberately alienating Wu Kai, but that the previous offensive and defensive battles at the Yushi Military Station were quite brutal, and there was not enough free space and space in the military station to accommodate the new arrivals. And the rest of General Li Shen's troops entered the military depot early because they participated in the offensive and defensive battles, and they also helped to clean up after the battle.

Recalling that Wu Kai was not able to fully participate in the offensive and defensive battle of Yushi Military Station, I still can't help but feel a little regretful. Because the encounters he experienced were just a small part of this battle.

When Wu Kai went to General Li's residence to discuss matters this morning, he listened to a brief overview of the entire battle.

The attack on the military depot was a barbarian partial army that broke through the first-line fortifications of Jianchuan, with a number of almost 7,000 people. At that time, there were less than 2,000 soldiers stationed in the Yushi military depot, and half of them were auxiliary soldiers who stayed in the depot to load, unload and transport luggage. The remaining half are also wounded soldiers who have just retreated from the front line. And more than a dozen monks from Jingying Mansion who have just arrived here to reinforce the front line.

Excluding those who were seriously injured and unable to move, the available manpower in the Yushi Military Station was only 1,400 at that time, and they had to face an enemy seven times their size.

When Wu Kai first heard about the garrison force at the time when the Yushi military station was attacked, he couldn't believe it. He walked around the station yesterday and today. The broken walls, the bloodstains everywhere, and even the stumps that were not cleaned up all showed how brutal the battle was at that time.

It is hard to imagine that such a tragic scene would be left behind by a group of auxiliary soldiers and the wounded. They are facing barbarians! And it is still in the case of absolute inferiority in quantity. Even the only protective wall that could be relied on collapsed so badly. Wu Kai tightened his fists at that time, and he somewhat understood why he didn't see many auxiliary soldiers and wounded after entering the military depot.

In the words of General Li Shen, "The garrison bit the enemy tightly, desperately until the last moment, and even set fire to the surrounding houses and spread fire oil on the ground to prepare to burn with the enemy. Fortunately, our army arrived and only retained some. "

Wu Kai didn't see any of the dozen or so monks from Jingying Mansion. Later, out of curiosity, he asked the master who had been by his side in the battle formation and had not been reassigned for the time being, and got three words: they are all dead.

"The new order is to let us temporarily stay at the Yushi Military Station to take care of the temporary reconstruction tasks here, mainly to organize and clean up some foundations. Three days later, auxiliary soldiers will come to replace us. After that, the army will continue to go east to take over a reorganized army on the front line Come down and trim.

Wu Kai. "

"The subordinates are here!"

"You performed very well in the previous encounter in front of the Yushi Military Station. The commander is very satisfied with you. The rest of the journey is also dominated by rocky beaches and it is inconvenient to ride horses, so your department will still act as the front left forward. In addition You fill the vacancies of a hundred people, and fifty of them are monks. Remember not to make mistakes."

Wu Kai cupped his hands to Ying Shi, his heart felt hot and his chest was hot. The opportunity he had been waiting for for many years finally appeared, and now it seems that he has grasped the small tail of this opportunity, and as long as he climbs up the trend, he will hopefully give himself the word "handsome" in the university. on the flag. Of course, this is Wu Kai's dream and ambition.

"This subordinate will definitely not embarrass you!"

For the next three days, Wu Kai followed the arrangement to help clean the Yushi military station. The corpses of the barbarians were burned clean. Those belonging to one's own people are put together if they can be put together, and those who can't be put together are buried together in a big pit. People from the old Jing Dynasty still have to go to the ground to rest in peace.

The tomb is not small, there is a large area, just on the left side of the sidewalk of the military depot, everyone who enters and exits the Yushi military depot can see it.

Before he left, Wu Kai came here to pay homage. Apart from the adjutant, he was also accompanied by the well-known expert from the Jingying Mansion. And now Wu Kai also knows the other party's name, Ding Shan.

It is said that among the dozen or so Jingying Mansion monks who died at the Yushi Military Station, there was Ding Shan's junior brother, and he is also in this grave now.
