Linzi City.

Bai Yu was inspecting the city wall, looking tired.

His abdomen was bandaged.

It seems a bit difficult to walk.

Almost every soldier on the city wall was injured.

They leaned against the city wall, looking listless.

Tian Zhongxun has been like a mad dog these days.

They attacked Linzi continuously day and night.

According to Yue Zhongmu's analysis, this was Tian Zhongxun's intention: to tire them out. He could only steal for a thousand days, but he couldn't defend against thieves for a thousand days. Whenever Tian Zhongxun attacked, they had to respond with all their might. Because it was impossible to tell whether it was real or fake in a short period of time, if their defense was insufficient, they would likely launch an all-out attack.

Whenever the war drums sound.

The entire city is under martial law.

Many civilians had to be ready to go up to the city walls at any time.

But Tian Zhongxun's situation is a little easier.

He specifically divided the army into two groups.

Attacks were carried out day and night.

Tian Zhongxun didn't care at all.

For several days in a row, they were tortured to a point where their life was worse than death.

Even Yue Zhongmu couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

We can only deal with it as best we can.

"Commander-in-Chief...can we hold on?"

"Have a good rest and don't think about it."

Bai Yu tried his best to comfort her.

In another half an hour, the enemy came again.

Looking at the guards, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Brothers, persistence is victory!"

"The prince and the reinforcements are coming."

"These rebels are also at the end of their rope."

"Now it's all about willpower!"

Bai Yu clapped his hands.

The laborers who had prepared early began to climb the wall.

There are men and women, old and young here.

The casualties in recent days were too heavy, so the civilians had to be mobilized to give the guards some time to catch their breath. The prepared meat porridge was distributed among the guards, and some of the guards fell asleep while eating. The civilians helped to pile up the stones in preparation for the battle.

Seeing the guards so exhausted, some of the civilians couldn't help but wipe away tears. Tian Zhongxun had been attacking for days, and they hadn't rested for three hours combined. Now it was all a matter of willpower. Who could hold on the longest?

"You're all ready."

"I'll go down and take a look first."

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, they still have a reserve force.

The Yiwei that he was in charge of.

There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

They are currently staying in the city.

Firstly, it was to protect Shen Qinghe, maintain order in the city, and prevent some villains from secretly causing chaos; secondly, it was to keep them as reserves, allowing them to conserve their strength, which would be of great use when they subsequently went out of the city to counterattack.

Bai Yu rode a horse and walked on the street.

The situation in the city is not very good at the moment.

Once a prosperous city, Linzi was now in ruins. Many houses had been demolished, and the stones and timber were transported to the city walls to defend it.

The people could only live on the streets.

It was winter, the coldest time of the year. They wrapped themselves in tattered winter clothes and shivered around the campfire. There was no shortage of food, though; everyone had a bowl of steaming meat porridge in their hands.

"Great Commander!"

“It’s too cold!”

"Just let us climb the city wall!"

"I'd rather die in battle than freeze to death!"

"You all have to bear with it for a while." Bai Yu sighed, "It will be your turn in the evening. Now it's a test of willpower!"

"good!"

"All follow the commander-in-chief's orders."

Yue Zhongmu actually also made adjustments.

The soldiers and laborers were divided into three teams.

One team would defend, the second team would rest, and the third team would be ready for battle. If the enemy attacked aggressively, the third team would assist in defending the city. This ensured that one team could rest and avoid being exhausted by the enemy.

Bai Yu continued to walk backwards.

I saw Chang Baicao busy in the wounded camp.

There were also many doctors helping to make the medicine.

The wounded were treated much better.

At least there is a house to live in and a brazier to keep warm.

The successive battles resulted in a large number of casualties.

Those who are seriously injured and bedridden live there.

Those with less serious injuries will continue working after being bandaged.

Chang Baicao wore a mask and was very professional.

But he is also quite tired now.

He is good at surgery.

The other apprentices can only help.

"Doctor Chang, would you like to take a break?"

"I'll take it easy first." Chang Baicao took off his gloves and sat down with the help of someone beside him. His eyes were bloodshot at the moment, and he whispered, "Is there any news from the prince? The medicinal herbs stored in the city are not enough. If there are two more waves of wounded soldiers, we can only use wood ash."

This is the result of Wan Sanqian's help.

Although they were defending the city, they suffered many casualties.

Various siege weapons are not vegetarian either.

"Then we can only fight it out."

"If you can't save it, you can only abandon it first."

"Especially those who are seriously injured, don't save them first!"

"Focus on the minor and medium-injured soldiers!"

Bai Yu gritted his teeth and spoke.

He is a rational person.

Able to make decisions at critical moments.

It may sound inhumane, but it is in the best interest of the overall situation.

Medicine was running low, and the number of wounded soldiers was increasing. Over the past few days, casualties had already exceeded 10,000. As the fortifications were gradually destroyed, and with the soldiers exhausted, the number of casualties would only increase.

So, they have to make sacrifices!

No treatment was given to the seriously injured and dying soldiers.

This is considering the overall situation.

If only the seriously injured were killed, even more people would die.

Moreover, seriously injured people cannot recover in a short period of time.
