Chapter 96: The Great War Resurrects 2
Three poles in the sun, Nancheng.
The war drums sounded again, and this time rows of strong poles rolled out of the Allied camp. None of them were as depressed as yesterday's battle with heavy casualties. Everyone's face showed a determination to win.
expression.
A large formation was lined up, and Bu Zhidi stood on the roof, waving a small flag in his hand. Immediately under the house, there was a pole on horseback. The messenger held the big flag high, and the horses galloped back and forth in front of the tens of thousands of strong formations to convey the message to Bu Zhi Mu.
The command.
With the first order, the five hundred longbows supported by Woniu Mountain were moved to the front of the formation, lined up in a row, and stood an arrow away from the city wall. At the same time, he was cruel, and then conveyed his order again. The order
All the archers from the allied forces were dispatched, and more than 2,000 archers were integrated. All the shield soldiers were gathered for protection to give Mi Zhi Ding a devastating blow.
Those archers had just entered the place where they could shoot arrows and were close to the moat. The foreman on the city saw the opportunity. Under the command of Deputy Qianhu Boss Xue, they immediately began to fight back. In one moment, thousands of arrows were fired, and the momentum was overwhelming.
In the non-stick arrow array, those shield-bearers who were on standby immediately stepped forward to protect the archers' heads and faces. Within a moment, the shields were densely filled with arrows, and there were constant wails and miserable sounds in the array of ordinary archers.
After shouting, the archers fell to the ground one by one.
But at this time, the longbow was given a chance. The longbow stood outside the range of ordinary bows and arrows, and immediately fired thousands of arrows. For a moment, the huge long arrows flew towards the Mizhi city wall with a scream.
The shield bearers rushed forward to protect the archers, but the long arrows had such heavy weight that the shields were like paper in front of them.
The man behind the shield was shot through by an arrow and was not spared.
The long dragon of archers and shield bearers on the city wall immediately collapsed, and howls and screams rose to the sky.
Taking advantage of this moment, the ordinary archers of the Allied Army strode up, opened their bows and fired arrows one after another. There was another overwhelming rain of arrows, which suppressed the signers on the wall and could not raise their heads.
Immediately, the attack and defense at the south gate became one-sided, and bursts of cheers rang out from the Allied formation.
Standing on the roof of the house, Bu Zhanni was secretly happy. Lu Shi's method was still better. After this, the lottery players were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. If this goes on for a few rounds, Mi Zhi will have no successors.
, there is no defense. When all the soldiers are lost, if you don't stick to the mud, launch your troops to fill the trenches, and attack the city in one fell swoop, you will get twice the result with half the effort. This rice fat is what you have in your pocket, and you can take whatever you want with that mountain of money and food.
.
After last night's turmoil, almost causing a roar in the camp, Bu Zhan Mu also regretted his method of driving the old and weak to the city. He also wanted to understand that attacking the county seat is different from attacking the fortress, not to mention that there is no comparison with Xicheng.
We should act like this blatantly, so we also listened to Lu Shi's opinion and decided overnight to follow Lu Shi's method of fighting. We reorganized our troops overnight, allocated equipment, and prepared for a battle at dawn.
These strong men who had been rectified overnight knew that today they would no longer have to fill the ditch with their fathers, so they felt no pressure in their hearts. They also received Lu Shi's assurance that the new siege method would be used, and they began to feel confident at that moment.
Originally, if you become a pole, you have to be prepared to die at any time, but if you die like this, no one will complain.
After bursts of cheers, the top of Mizhi City became deathly silent. With such an unequal exchange of shots, everyone knew that their side was no match for others, so they all huddled up and held tightly together.
Huddled in the blind corner of the female wall, waiting for the thief's powerful arrow rain to end.
When Bu Zhanmu saw it, he realized that if he continued shooting, he would be wasting his precious arrows. At that moment, the small flag was waved, and the messengers once again stepped forward to give the order to stop shooting. So the archers followed the order and stood aside from the bow shooting.
In the place where we just exchanged fire, yesterday and today, all we can see is a wasteland of arrows with almost no land visible. He called the soldiers without touching the mud, and ordered the old, weak, women and children to be sent out to the city wall to clean up the city.
Arrows shot from above.
On the battlefield, the arrows stuck on the ground are as dense as thatch in the field. There may be as many as 50,000 to 70,000 if not a hundred thousand. This is a rare treasure for the cottage. Most of these cottages do not make bows and arrows.
At the same time, the production of arrows is not a simple matter. These things are obtained by collecting them on the battlefield. The two days of fighting have consumed too many arrows and almost exhausted his family wealth.
The old rule is that old and weak women and children go to the battlefield to snatch arrows and exchange them for a piece of big cake for every ten arrows. This reward is quite attractive to those old and weak women and children. Each village has little food, and even the soldiers are hungry.
A full meal, let alone them, is a rare and rare thing, and it is worth risking your life.
The defenders on the city also know the consequences of these arrows being snatched by the enemy, so they will continue to shoot arrows to stop them. Therefore, every time the arrows are collected, there will be a certain amount of casualties, even if they die, but the injured will not need medical treatment.
The result is the same for a bandit with little medicine, but it's just one step earlier and one step later.
But after Lu Shi came up with the method of soaking quilts in water, people benefited greatly. Everyone went up with water-soaked cotton clothes and quilts, and only a few unlucky ones were accidentally shot in the thigh.
No one will be injured. Therefore, going to the battlefield to snatch arrows is no longer a painful chore, but has become a good job in exchange for a full meal. What's more, look at the dense crowds under the city today.
Even in the Arrow Wasteland, the harvest must be huge.
Waiting for the master's order, men, women, old and children all jumped up with water-soaked quilts on their heads, cheering. Upon seeing this, the defenders on the city immediately opened their bows and fired arrows. However, they immediately received a burst of blows from the long bows below, which not only failed to prevent the thieves from snatching the arrows.
, but it caused unnecessary casualties on his side. Those arrows could only add some results to the city, but had no actual effect on those colorful quilts. He slowly stopped shooting and watched helplessly.
The thieves carried the arrows back in bundles, but they cried out in vain.
This operation was a great harvest for the old and the weak. Some of them made two or three trips and got back more than a dozen large cakes, which could feed themselves or their families several meals, and everyone was smiling.
Enjoying this rare satisfaction, behind the satisfaction is gratitude to the white-shirted military advisor.
Looking at the mountains of arrows, swords and guns, Bu Mu was extremely proud. With these nearly 100,000 arrows, his strength was even more enhanced.
After the battlefield was cleaned, Bu Zhanmi once again waved the red flag in his hand, and a sound of war drums sounded. Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of Allied troops, more than ten long quilts rushed out of the formation and spread out between the formation and the moat.
There was another shout from here, and immediately hundreds of poles were wielding shovels and picks, working enthusiastically, and then quickly started filling in the moat according to Lu Shi's assembly line method.
What stimulated the acceleration several times was not the big cake and white meat of Lu Shi, but the sticks and whips of the supervising team. But no matter what method it was, the result was the same. Progress was rapid. Before the defenders could react,
, the moat was half filled.
This speed frightened the commanders in the city. The pawnshop owner and deputy Qianhu of the guard station were leaning on the gap in the city wall with several layers of shields set up by the soldiers.
, if at this speed, it won’t be noon, then the moat will no longer be an obstacle to the thieves’ attack, but I will be helpless here.
If you ask shopkeeper Xue to do business, one person can be as good as ten, but if you ask him to command thousands of troops to fight, it is simply chasing a duck to the top, which is even more difficult. At this time, he has already run out of ideas and yells
Said: "Quick, quick, send someone to find Mr. Qianhu to get the charter."
"Yes." A soldier covered his helmet and rushed down to the city to look for Qianhu. Xue Qianhu was left here to dance around.
Huan was jumping around, but he didn't want the group's whereabouts to be seen by the pole under the city. When he saw that the guard was a high official, he didn't wait for Bu Zhanni to issue an order. Immediately, a small leader called out to a group of long archers, facing Xue
Qianhu fired in a burst, and for a while the long arrows came with a scream, hitting the layers of shields like hailstones. Xue Qianhu rolled over and shrank under the female wall, but those soldiers
But he was not so lucky, and more than a dozen people were killed or injured at the time.
Xue Qianhu, who had to escape the catastrophe, looked at the soldiers who were killed by being pierced through the body as thick as a thumb in shock. He just kept reciting the Buddha's name, hoping that Master Qianhu would hurry up and make the decision so that he could end this frightening day. How could he dare to stand up?
Commanding Ding to resist pole filling in trenches?
But thinking about it, this is not a solution. I am a hereditary Fuqianhu. Fighting? That is all my grandfather's ability. How can a person like me, who has been in peace for a hundred years, do it? But when the war comes, as a
Military generals still have to go to the city to guard the city. Otherwise, if someone retreats from the battle, he will be killed with a single sword.
I looked at the nearby section of the city wall with my eyes. There had just been a burst of shooting, and now the dead and wounded soldiers were lying on the ground. No one dared to come to the city to clean them up. They were just lying all over the city. It was a hell-like scene.
It is indeed something that I don’t have and dare not imagine.
Suddenly he rolled his eyes and saw that his servants were holding big shields to the left and right, shielding him tightly. At that time, he quietly picked up a long arrow next to him, gritted his teeth, and pointed it hard at his thigh.
After inserting it, the severe pain made me scream in agony, and sweat poured down from my forehead like rain.
This scream alerted the soldiers around him. The head soldier, now the guard of the pawn shop, turned around and looked at his employer's general in surprise, but he immediately understood the whole story and immediately shouted: "It's not good, Deputy Qian."
Mr. Hu is injured, please come quickly and carry him down for treatment."
This shout immediately alarmed the people at the top of the city. They all looked around and saw that Deputy Qianhu had been hit by an arrow in the thigh. He was being held up by the soldiers, dripping with blood. He was sweating in pain.
But the Qianhu master was very stubborn. He stood on one leg, but pushed away the soldiers and shouted: "Leave me alone, defend quickly, quickly, quickly."
But who of those soldiers could obey? They shouted and carried Master Qianhu straight to the city. In the distance, you could still hear the cry of Qianhu demanding a fight to the death.
Touched, really moved the whole city.
