Chapter 609 Their respective dilemmas
"Snowing......"
Looking at the snowflakes falling all over the sky, I stretched out my right hand during the Guiyi Brigade Festival Wine Forest to feel the coldness brought by the snowflakes.
The general Shitou on the side also sighed: "Yes, it's snowing, but it came a little late, otherwise we wouldn't have to fight so hard!!"
Lin Shi was very silent, but as a sacrificial wine, he wanted to say that the stone was wrong, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only sigh and agree.
"Yes, it would be great if we came earlier!"
The words are sad, after all, if the snow comes earlier, the enemy will not be able to attack continuously even if they do not retreat.
But at this point, Lin Shi smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Since it's snowing, and the sky is not very snowy, the weather will be colder by then, which will be more beneficial to our next battle!"
Xiang Shitou nodded: "Yes, next, I think we can make something out of ice and snow. At least we can temporarily strengthen and heighten some city walls."
Lin Shi didn't say anything, but looked at him dimly: "Even so, the weather is cold, and I don't know how much the injured soldiers can survive in the following days?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed together, but Jiang Shitou was very optimistic.
"This is actually quite easy to say. Although the weather is getting colder, it is difficult for the soldiers' wounds to suppurate, isn't it?"
"As for the cold weather, so what if the wounds are not easy to heal? We are like this, but the enemy is also like this. They have many more injured than us."
"Besides, although we can't go out to conduct reconnaissance, there are so many Rakshasa troops. It is inevitable that the whole army cannot live in the city and can only camp in the wild. In this way, it will be even harder for them to survive."
"Also, our soldiers actually eat quite well. There is enough food to fill them up, and there is salted fish for every meal to supplement the salt. With the stored vegetables, our life is not that difficult!!"
What General Shitou said was true. The Rakshasa barbarian army was too numerous. Otherwise, they would have broken through long ago and would not have stayed here to besiege the isolated city.
Similarly, they know the surrounding area of a hundred miles better than the Rakshasa barbarians, and there are not that many places that can provide housing for more than [-] troops. In order to ensure the encirclement, a large number of Rakshasa barbarian soldiers can only camp in the wild.
In such cold weather, camping in the wild is not as comfortable and safe as living in a house.
Not only that, the Rakshasa Barbarians had attacked them many times over such a long period of time, resulting in many casualties, but even more of them were injured.
Being stationed in the wild like this, there's no chance that one day I'll get bored.
Moreover, in the face of the increasingly cold weather, even those who are not injured cannot bear it.
This is a living environment problem faced by both parties. However, although there are many Rakshasa barbarians, the conditions are not as good as those of the Guiyi Brigade.
Then there is the food aspect. The food supplies needed to maintain an army of [-] are an extremely large number. Even if this army is within the control of the Rakshasa barbarians, the consumption of dispatching personnel to escort the food and grass is not huge. would be too little.
Not to mention that it is snowing heavily now, and no matter how changeable the weather is in the future, the transportation of grain and grass will become a huge problem. These are all situations that the Rakshasa Barbarians will face in the future.
The Guiyi Brigade is different. The food produced by the autumn harvest of 10 people is basically concentrated in Guancheng. This food is eaten by the less than 2 Guiyi Brigade soldiers. Every meal can support them for a whole day. Year.
Although being trapped in the isolated city will cause a shortage of meat and various supplies, because they are in northern Xinjiang, the supplies stored by the Guiyi Brigade are mainly salted fish.
In other words, at this stage, at least as long as the city is not breached, there is no need to worry about food and salt issues within a year.
It can be said that as the heavy snow falls and the temperature gradually drops, the advantage is gradually getting closer to the Guiyi Brigade.
That is to say, the city wall is too low, and there is no overly wide moat, so the defense is a bit low, otherwise the Rakshasa barbarians would not be able to attack the city.
But even so, the Rakshasa Barbarians could only bring harm to the soldiers defending the city, but could not take down the city wall.
After all, the Guiyi Brigade has nearly 2 people, and some of them are constantly being replenished, so this also creates an illusion for Rakshasa Man, that is, he always feels that the Guiyi Brigade is in danger, and the defense line is always almost broken, but It can't be broken no matter what.
If you want to increase your troops, the army cannot deploy due to terrain reasons, and then you are blocked under the city wall and cannot get up. You have to wait until the situation on the city wall changes.
Then the pressure was increased little by little, until now the Rakshasa Man became increasingly unable to retreat.
It can be said that the Rakshasa Barbarians suffered a lot during this period. They lost a lot of troops and could not replace them. The troops that came to support were all used up. No one wanted to let them attack again. .
So at this time, Viscount Henrietta looked livid as he looked at the falling snowflakes in the sky. A heavy snowfall would give the people on the opposite side enough breathing space.
Because heavy snow will cut off the food and grass transportation channels, it will also become difficult for subsequent reinforcements to march, seriously interrupting their own offensive rhythm.
"It's snowing. Will there be any problems with the subsequent transportation of grain and grass? How long can the current grain and grass be guaranteed?"
"Also, are the troops prepared for the cold?"
Regarding his question, the quartermaster was silent because he didn't know what to say.
At this time in previous years, or in the past 20 years of fighting with Dagan, they basically did not fight in winter, and the troops were staying at their stations.
If you want to fight, you should fight in spring or autumn. Winter is too passive!
But now, they need to fight in winter and can only make simple supplements as usual, but no one knows the effect! !
After all, their experience is really insufficient!
...................
At the same time, on top of the blood-stained city wall, a group of militiamen specializing in cleaning the battlefield walked by, came to each person who had fallen or sat down, asked softly, and then checked their noses and pulses.
However, how can many fallen warriors stand up again! !
They came to a sitting warrior. The leader asked softly, and found that there was no sound. Then he stretched out his hand to feel his breath and pulse, then shook his head and said softly.
"Let's go!"
Then without hesitation he went to look at the other fallen warrior.
Death has become the norm in their eyes, and only living can bring them some surprises.
