The tragedy of the war has left these two armies far away, but what remains is endless pain. A low sobbing sound. Read a book ww?w?·1k?a?nshu·
The strange thing is that the soldiers collecting the corpses of the two sides would meet each other on the river beach and embankment from time to time, but there was no such fierce spirit of life and death as before. They can only see the sadness deep in each other's eyes from each other's eyes.
In this battle, the Chu army suffered more than 50,000 casualties, the Han army had more than 15,000 people, and there were more than 2,000 people left. They are all wounded, especially the Chu army. There are many fathers, sons, and brothers in the army. In contrast, when the Han army recruited troops, they paid special attention not to incorporate such soldiers into an army. In order to avoid such a situation where all the men in the family will die after such a big battle.
The body of a Chu soldier was lying face down on the ground. When his comrades lifted his body with great effort, they suddenly found that there was still a body of a Han soldier under him. , his knife stabbed the lower abdomen of the Han soldier, and the knife of the Han soldier was deeply embedded between his breastbones. The two of them were still holding the handle of the knife tightly until they were dying. The people were connected together, and when the soldiers of the Chu army were moved, the soldiers of the Han army below were also brought up.
Two Han soldiers on the other side walked over silently, and the two sides worked together to draw out their knives, then lifted up the bodies of their respective partners, and walked wordlessly to their side.
Scenes like this are happening all over Yingshui City.
The small square outside the General’s Mansion was already neatly filled with corpses, each piece of white cloth wrapped them from head to toe, and as more and more corpses were brought in, Gradually, I couldn't put it down on the small square. Wu Ya commanded the soldiers of the 4th Division to clean up the bombed and burned houses around the square, clearing out one piece after another of open space to put the remains of these heroes who died in battle. ??One~IndoMTL.com~Mei Hua stood expressionlessly on the steps in front of the General's Mansion, her face was snow-white. He who lost his left arm was actually seriously injured. The situation was tense because of the brutal fighting two days ago. He can only support himself, but once the situation stabilizes and he relaxes physically and mentally, he will be unable to support himself immediately. He had to be supported by two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right.
Because he refuses to leave, he wants to watch his soldiers here.
Every time a corpse was brought up, some officials stepped forward, looked at the bracelet on the soldier's wrist, and wrote down his unit number and his name. Some soldiers had mutilated corpses, and the wrist chains could not be found, so they had to be placed on the other side first, so that the surviving soldiers could identify them, and there were even some more. Unrecognizable at all, these remains can only be recorded in another volume.
In the end, what was reported was only a set of numbers, but at this moment, what Mei Hua saw was endless sorrow, a soldier, a family, the sorrow of several or even dozens of people.
"Let's rest!" Wu Ya walked to Mei Hua's side. "They are all gone, and you look at them, and they can't feel it. They are dead."
"But please feel at ease!" Mei Hua said indifferently: "This battle, my third division was completely wiped out. There are veterans who have followed me for seven or eight years. I know a man who was brought here earlier. His name is Wang. Bao, he's almost forty, he's from Jicheng, he even invited me to his house for a drink. He has a virtuous wife, though not pretty, but docile, three sons, two daughters, what a big family. Originally He should be retiring from the army. He has reached his age, but in this war, he asked to stay and bring a band of recruits. Our First Army has recruited a lot of recruits in the past two years, but this battle is gone. I really don’t know. Can you imagine what will happen when his family finds out that he died in battle?"
"When you put on your battle robe, you are always ready to die. I believe this old brother Wang is also mentally prepared. Read the book ww?w?·1k?a?nshu·" Wu Ya felt the same way. "When fighting, we don't feel death, fear, or sadness. Only at this time, I feel that I am still a human being and have human feelings."
Mei Hua took a step towards the steps, and two soldiers hurriedly followed him, supporting him from left to right. , so that there will be no more killing each other, so that the people can live and work in peace. Our world has been fighting each other for thousands of years, and there has never been a peaceful year, but now, We have reason to look forward to this day. The state of Chu is destroyed, and there is only one state of Qin left, which cannot be supported by itself. If our army marches westward, the world will be unified and there will be peace in the end.”
"Yes, I look forward to this day coming earlier!" Wu Ya nodded.
"Wu Ya, send as much of this white cloth to Qu Wan over there as possible, I'm afraid they don't have it." Mei Hua said suddenly.
Wu Ya was startled. "You don't hate him? All of your more than 10,000 soldiers died under his hands."
"It's up to each other, we can't talk about whether we hate it or not." Mei Hua shook his head and said, "They, we, are all poor people! His soldiers are also warriors, and even if the warriors die, they must die. With dignity, send it over!"
Wu Ya frowned and said, "I can send things over, but don't say what you said just now, it won't sound good if it gets passed on to the higher authorities. What do you mean you are a poor person!"
Mei Hua smiled, "Go, go, I know what I say. Who dares to embarrass me, I am a great hero, my father is a high-ranking official, my eldest brother is the king's steward, and my second brother is a world-famous If you are a big businessman, or a big member of the big council, who would bother me if you have nothing to do!"
Hearing this, Wu Ya's face immediately turned ugly, "What are you showing off, that one doesn't know that you, Mei Hua, are the son of everyone, it's amazing!"
Watching Wu Ya turn away with a stinky face, Mei Hua laughed happily. This guy has always been a stone in a latrine, a muscle. He was like this when he was a soldier. The same is true for the dignified general.
reached out from her bosom to take out the treasured kit, opened it, stared at the beautiful woman and lovely child on it, Mei Hua smiled and said: "Daughter-in-law, son, wait for me, I will be back soon Now home, I will never leave you again, and I will stay with you for the rest of my life."
Outside Yingchuan County, the camp of the Chu Army. Qu Wan looked at the carts of white cloth sent by the Han army, his face twitched, and he didn't know what to say.
"General Qu, this was sent by our division commanders Mei and Wu. The two division commanders said that the soldiers who died in your army were warriors. Warriors should have the dignity of warriors. These white cloths can make warriors dignified leave." An officer saluted Qu Wan and said loudly.
Looking at the low-ranking officer of the Han army in front of him, Qu Wan clasped his fists with both hands and bowed to the ground: "Thank you to the two officers of your army. If there is a chance in the future, Qu will definitely visit you two. To feel the virtue of today."
The officer smiled: "Of course there are opportunities. General Qu, take your leave."
"Wait a minute." Qu Wan asked: "In this battle, blood flowed like rivers on both sides of the Yingshui, doesn't your army hate us?"
"There's nothing to hate!" The officer shook his head, "We want to unify the world, you want to defend your home and country, that's all, fight to the death for your own goals, you think you are right, but what about us? , I think we are right. In this case, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Now, we have won. Oh, speaking of it, in Yingshui, it should be considered that you Chu people won. Yes, but you won the small game, but lost the big game. General Qu Wan, if we really want to say it, maybe we should thank you. I am from the third division. In fact, in the end, we have no plans to survive , It is because of your strike that we survived by chance."
"So you think so?" Qu Wan asked a little confused.
"That's right, General Qu. I used to be from Qi. When we were destroyed by the Han, we were very angry and sad. But then we found out that life can be better. Now There will be no more wars, no more exorbitant taxes, no more official oppression, we don't have to worry about what will happen today, and what will happen tomorrow. The people in our place are thinking about one thing now, which is how to make life better. Live a better life. Let your pockets be fuller." The officer smiled and said: "Now you Chu people must hate us Han people, but it won't take long before they will forget you Chu Dynasty, because the big man can give them money. Yes, your Chu court will never be able to give it."
Watching the officer lead his soldiers away, Qu Wan had mixed feelings.
Bai Xizhong's voice came from behind: "Is this the bearing of a great country~IndoMTL.com~ the thinking of a great country?"
"Yes, this is the courage of the Han people." Qu Wan turned his head, "Xizhong, do you think we will be like the officer said in the future?"
"I don't know." Bai Xizhong shook his head and said, "But if it's true what this officer said, I'm afraid that the people of Great Chu will soon forget the 800-year-old Chu Dynasty. As long as the big man can let them live Better."
Qu Wan nodded silently. After he surrendered to Meihua, the Han people did not ask them to lay down their weapons. They just asked them to set up another camp outside the city of Yingchuan County. It was supplied by the Han people. Yesterday, a team of members of the Military Jurisdiction Department from the mainland of Han also arrived at the Chu camp. The purpose was not to deal with the Chu people, but to worry that the Han soldiers would provoke and retaliate. With them here, those Han soldiers would not have the courage dare to come over.
In short, none of what Qu Wan was worried about happened. Outwardly, they looked nothing like a surrendered army. (To be continued.)
