That night, the troops had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.
Fortunately, Qing Cang returned and temporarily repelled the invading coalition forces.
However, they were worried that there were still a large number of coalition forces that had not left.
Their presence would pose a huge threat to Huaxia City.
In the main city, Qing Cang sat at the top, and hundreds of civil and military personnel stood on the left and right.
A guard below said: "Report to the commander, the enemy's and our casualties have been calculated.
The enemy has lost nearly 80,000 people, while we have nearly 20,000 casualties.
Our buildings have been severely damaged, especially the West Gate Urn City.
The other three doors also suffered the same degree of damage.”
Speaking of casualties, Guo Jia stood up and said: "Commander, today our regiment paid a heavy price to defend Huaxia City.
Many soldiers sacrificed their lives.
One of the regiment leaders was named Hua Feng.
He bought time for us to hold on to the south gate, but unfortunately, he and five thousand soldiers died in the hands of the enemy.
Such a loyal and courageous person should give them an explanation. " Qingcang has never been a stingy person, especially when it comes to his own people.
If any soldiers die, he will compensate their relatives with the highest standards, and today will not be an exception.
He thought for a while and had his own thoughts on Hua Feng's death.
He said: "I feel very sorry for Hua Feng's death.
He represents the spirit of China.
This spirit should be passed on, so I am planning to build a mausoleum called the Mausoleum of the Chinese Martyrs.
On it will be engraved everything and all the reasons for the Chinese martyrs."
The soldiers who died are all martyrs of China, and today is designated as Martyrs' Day.
Every year, the entire army must go to the Martyrs' Mausoleum to worship them.
Their spirit will be passed down forever, and there should be subsidies.
It must be done without any ambiguity.”
Everyone applauded Qingcang's decision, which reflected the highest respect the living had for the deceased.
Guo Jia said excitedly: "The commander's decision allows the loyal soul to be remembered, the spirit to be passed on, and future generations to remember the contributions these people have made to our country."
Not only him, but also hundreds of other civil and military personnel came out to praise Qing Cang's decision.
Qingcang felt that this was the right thing to do, and these people should be treated this way.
"Then leave this matter to Minister Yang, Minister Wu, you will assist."
Wu Chaojing and Yang Zizong came out and responded: "Yes, there will definitely be no problem in leaving it to us."
Qingcang nodded to express satisfaction, and then said: "You two, don't be in a hurry to go back, I have something else to do."
The matter of the martyrs was finally settled, and he asked one more question: "Huafeng, can our brothers and relatives be in Huaxia City?"
Wu Chaojing immediately picked up a notebook and quickly checked: "Report to the commander, Huafeng has an older brother named Hua Xiong, who is in Lishi City at this time.
There is no further record.
As for his parents, there is no record."
When the word Hua Xiong appeared, Qingcang's heart was moved.
He immediately checked the list in the famous generals directory.
Sure enough, there was Hua Xiong.
He should be in his thirties at this time, in his prime.
Hua Xiong later served as a military general under Dong Zhuo, and was deeply liked by Dong Zhuo.
His fame began when the eighteen princes besieged Sishui Pass, because at that time, he killed Bao Zhong, Zu Mao, Yu She, and Pan Feng alone.
Guan Yu was beheaded by his horse because he underestimated him.
You must know that Guan Yu was unknown at that time, and he was eight years younger.
His physical strength was at its peak, and he was already close to forty years old.
As for warming wine and killing Hua Xiong, analyze how long and how many rounds Guan Yu and Hua Xiong fought.

How long does it take for a cup of hot wine to become warm?
You can refer to the time it takes for a cup of hot water to turn into lukewarm water.
It should take about ten minutes, and according to the novel The description is that the two were fighting fiercely, with drums and shouts, indicating that the two fought for a while and did not end in a short time.
Considering Guan Yu's habit of not talking nonsense and starting fights as soon as possible, the two of them should have had twenty or thirty rounds in this period of time.
It is not an ordinary person to be able to persist under Guan Yu for such a long time, so it seems not surprising that he appears in the list of famous generals.
Lishi City is where the Black Mountain Army is entrenched, and Xun Yu is also trapped here.
Perhaps after repelling the coalition forces this time, they can attack Li Shi City and recruit Xun Yu and Hua Xiong under their command, which will kill two birds with one stone.
"I understand.
The matter of Huafeng's relatives will be dealt with after we retreat from the enemy.
Let me ask you, how long can the food in Huaxia City last?"
Wu Chaojing replied: “The food in the city can last for about two years.”
Now that the military strength has skyrocketed, it is not just the population at that time, but the consumption of food has also increased.
Of course, this is only the consumption of the military.
The people also have food reserves, but their food reserves will not exceed a year's worth.
"Very good.
Pay close attention to the food issue, especially to eliminate rodents and insect pests.
There should be no massive loss of food."
In a front-line battle, logistics is very important.
Once they run out of food, it will be fatal to their advance.
Wu Chaojing responded repeatedly, during which he explained some things, which were all very important.
Then he faced Yang Zizong and said: "The city wall is now very seriously damaged.
Tomorrow you will take people to repair it.
If you encounter enemies coming, you must retreat to the city immediately.
Do you understand?"
"yes" He believed that the coalition forces might have to rest for a short period of time, because he caused serious losses to the enemy's siege weapons.
If they wanted to attack again, they must repair these weapons, otherwise many people would die if they came again.
"Minister Wang."
"exist" "Starting from tonight, you will be responsible for repairing all weapons and increasing production without delay."
"yes" "Also, I want you to deploy reapers outside the four city gates overnight, divided into five levels.
This time, you must severely damage the enemy."
Wang Chongwei has a long way to go, and his responsibilities are even greater.
"Also, I have a piece of information in my hand.
Please take a look at it when you have time.
Once the coalition forces pass by, I hope to see your research results.
This information must be kept in the safe and cannot be spread outside, otherwise there will be endless trouble. " Wang Zongwei doubtfully took the booklet from Qingcang's hand, which had several large characters written on it: "General Outline of Modern Artillery" "It records the structure of black powder and cannons.
The further you go, the more advanced the cannons become.
I don't expect you to be able to build advanced cannons in a short time, but you can start with the basic ones and equip them as quickly as possible.
The entire Huaxia City, as for the high-level ones, will be upgraded later.
With this weapon, you can be unrivaled in the world. " He mentioned black powder, which itself is only a moderately dangerous explosive.
Europeans did not know how to use it until 1250, and it may be earlier in China.
At that time, it took 50 to 75 years for people to discover that black powder was lethal when placed in a tube with an open end and ignited.
But it took nearly 400 years for black powder weapons to be officially adopted as the standard equipment of the army.
It was not until the mid-15th century that black powder weapons clearly demonstrated their potential to increase lethality.
With this book, at least it can be used in a short time, because the book contains instructions on the ratio of black powder.
Saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal are mixed in a ratio of 75:10:15, which is the most powerful.

Knowing this ratio can save a lot of time in research, which is equivalent to getting a powerful weapon.
And why start from the elementary level first?
The main reason is that the level of science and technology cannot keep up, and some processes cannot be realized, but only the elementary level can dominate.
In the future, we will wait for the industrial level to improve before upgrading and developing.
With this thing, you can basically complete the siege without carrying a city assault vehicle or a trebuchet.
Again, this book cost him twenty days of life, but it was all worth it.
Wang Zongwei was probably a little confused after hearing what Qing Cang said.
"How powerful is such a powerful weapon in the world?"
"Its damage is even greater, it can be ten times that of a trebuchet, or even more."
Qingcang didn't know how to describe it, so he had to compare it with a trebuchet.
Everyone had seen the power of this trebuchet, so when he talked about its power, everyone present felt incredible.
Someone said: "That means that with this divine object, the whole world belongs to us."
“I just don’t know how much time it will take.”
"Xu Dezhi."
"exist" "I want you to cooperate with Minister Wang's research, and then integrate your blacksmith shops together.
I want to increase the scale, because the raw materials needed for iron will increase dozens of times."
The last step is to build a steelmaking plant, but there is no rush.
He will take it step by step.
After all the processes are sorted out, it will not be a problem.
He also wants to let machinery gradually replace labor.
In terms of power, steam engines can be used as power, so He also placed his hope on Bai Ye, hoping that he could improve and develop a steam engine.
"Yes, I will definitely cooperate with everyone's work."
Qingcang then said: "The cannon I just mentioned is top secret and must not be spread outside."
"yes" After that, he arranged some things, including asking the cities he occupied to prepare weapons and personnel drills in advance to prevent being suddenly attacked by the enemy.
After that, he asked the entire army to rest and fight for a day.
Everyone was tired
