These women looked happy and nodded constantly. Having the opportunity to participate in this battle is the best way to avenge their relatives. This is also what they care about most now. It was not until Tan Daoji said this that they felt at ease. Made up one's mind.
Hu Longshi glanced at Tan Daoji and saw that he nodded slightly to him, so he cleared his throat and said: "Sisters and girls, let's do this for now. We are still fighting. It is not the time to cry and sacrifice our relatives. No matter what In other words, if we win this battle, we can survive and avenge our relatives. If we lose this battle, we have to see our relatives. Everyone understands this truth."
Taohua nodded: "We understand this. Crying is indeed annoying and will shake the morale of the army. However, with this corpse in front of us, we can't hold back our feelings. How about I look at it this way? Everyone is here first. In the battle, bury the bodies of our family members and relatives first and mark them. When the battle is won, we will come back to move their graves and put them in coffins, just in case..." At this point, she choked up. Speechless.
With tears in her eyes, Aqing's wife continued: "If we lose, at least our relatives can be buried in peace, and they don't have to be exposed in the wilderness like us."
These women shed tears silently, but kept nodding. Obviously, they agreed to this plan.
Hu Longshi gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, we will definitely win. Please be ready at any time after you have settled your relatives. General Tan just said that the bandits are chasing you like this to test our defense." Their intention is that sooner or later, they will join those mysterious forces to attack the formation by force. When the time comes, when we fight to the death, Taoist Matsukaze and Master Kuroishi who escaped last time will definitely make a comeback. By that time, we You must kill them with your own hands. This is the best way to avenge your loved ones and the dead soldiers!"
Zhu Lingxiu laughed: "Just now, I was wearing heavy armor and ran slowly, allowing these two boys to escape. Sister-in-law Taohua, don't worry, I will definitely chop these two pieces of shit into pieces and throw them away. In front of you, you are asked to take revenge in person!"
Taohua nodded excitedly and said, "That's great, General Zhu. I will definitely obey your arrangements."
Tan Daoji nodded and glanced at the direction where the sun was setting in the west. At this time, the sun was already halfway to the west. Obviously, noon had passed and it was close to Shen time. It was still about an hour before dark. He was right Hu Longshi said: "Xiao Hu, you settle down here for the common people. I will leave thirty sergeants, led by you, to dig the holes. Remember, wrap the dead villagers in cloth. Don't be buried with anything." damage."
Hu Longshi kept nodding along, with a sudden look of embarrassment on his face: "Brother Daoji, everything else is fine, but we are in short supply of this cloth. After all, this time our entire army was dispatched in an emergency, but we didn't bring much baggage. Not to mention the cloth, even the many arrows and crossbows..."
Tan Daoji waved his hand and said: "If the cloth is not enough, you can use some military flags first. In any case, the bodies of these two or three hundred people cannot be buried directly in the soil."
Taohua knelt down and kowtowed to Tan Daoji: "Thank you General Tan for your great kindness. However, this will not affect the battle."
Tan Daoji smiled slightly: "It's nothing. We have no shortage of flags here. We already have some spare ones, and there are also some as suspects. It's not very useful to fight defensive battles now. One flag should be able to wrap three people. After all, there are still some Children, we don’t need much cloth, so just make do with it for now. After this battle is over, we will definitely use the best coffins to bury these righteous people."
Taohua raised her head and said seriously: "Then thank you General Tan. You are busy with military affairs, so go and get down to business. We just have General Xiao Hu here to help. If there is still need, we will ask General Xiao Hu for help." .”
Behind Hu Longshi, there were already more than thirty middle-aged veterans standing. Each of them held two shovels and hoes in their hands. Some were scattered outside the formation. The hoes originally carried by the people were also collected. When they came over, several hoes were still stained with blood, reminding everyone that these hoes had also gone through the battle to kill thieves just now. Beside these veterans, hundreds of rolled-up military flags were placed on more than a dozen baggage trucks that had been pushed aside. Tan Daoji's promise was not empty talk. He had already said it before he asked the question just now. Arranging his men to prepare these things is indeed the style of a famous general.
Taohua took a hoe from the hands of a veteran. She wiped away her tears and turned to the women behind her and said: "Fellows and sisters, let's get started quickly. Let's start with The dead relatives were buried and then prepared to help the army."
All these women came over, and they were all in a hurry. Some were holding flags, while others were holding hoes and shovels. Those who got the flags immediately took off the flags' cloth from the poles, and then took out some nooses they carried with them. , scissors, which are often the tools that these women prepare to commit suicide in order to maintain their chastity. Now they come in handy. These battle flags suddenly turned into strips of cloth and were wrapped in each suit. On corpses of different sizes, the women's last cries are often silent, or they suppress their grief and try not to make a loud noise. They also know that at this time, any move that shakes the morale of the army may bring disaster to the entire army. The army brings disaster.
Tan Daoji looked at the women who were already at work and the sergeants who picked up hoes and shovels and started digging holes everywhere. He sighed softly, glanced at Hu Longshi, and said, "Xiao Hu, I'll leave this to you." Come on, dig a hole quickly and let the corpses of these people be buried as soon as possible. After these women are done, they must be exhausted mentally and physically, and they will be very tired. Don't really let them do too many things. If it doesn't work, just let them They can take care of the wounded or help with cooking, and that's all."
Hu Longshi was slightly startled: "But, Brother Daoji, didn't you just promise them that you would assign them tasks during the battle? Is it just a matter of expediency?"
Tan Daoji pointed to the more than 20 children following these women. They were wiping away tears and asking their mothers to do what they could, even holding soil in their little hands and pouring it out. Tan Daoji lowered his voice: "If there is another If something happens to the mother, what will happen to these children?"
