"General, Hao Youduo, the commander of the Thousand Thousandth Battalion of Arrow Battalion, would like to see you."
"Hao Youduo?" Dai Puyu glanced at the marching arrangements and couldn't help but frown, "If he isn't watching from the front, what is he doing here?"
"My subordinates don't know. I only know that Hao Qianchang seems to be in a hurry and is sweating profusely."
Dai Puyu nodded, "Then let him come up."
After a while, the stairs creaked.
Hao Youduo, holding his helmet, hurriedly came to Dai Puyu in two steps, and said, "I have seen the general."
"Excuse me, what important things happened on the front line?"
"General..." Hao Youduo glanced around, hesitating and not daring to continue.
Dai Puyu was stunned and quickly reacted.
He waved his hand and said, "Let's put it bluntly, we are all members of our family here, so we won't get in the way."
"yes!"
Hao Youduo first took out a few arrows, and then explained his findings in detail.
"General, there are more and more Japanese pirates, but the front lines are full of arrows like this. Alas, brothers really don't have the strength to kill the enemy."
Dai Puyu remained silent.
He just looked at the arrows over and over, without much surprise on his face.
Hao Youduo was so anxious that when he saw Shangfeng was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "General?"
Um.
Dai Puyu nodded, "I know this, and I will handle this matter seriously when I come down."
"Youdo," he comforted, "don't worry too much. The number of Japanese pirates coming ashore is not increasing, but it's a trap set by us in advance."
"Trap?" Hao Youduo was confused.
"That's right. The generals have reached a consensus. There are too many Japanese pirates coming this time, and it is difficult for us to eat them all at once. We can only let one batch go ashore first and eat them; then let another batch go ashore and eat them again.
"
"There are already quite a few Japanese pirates ashore now. General Fang from the high ground on the left wing has given the right word just now. His trebuchet is increasing the firepower to cut off the Japanese pirates' subsequent reinforcements. By then, the Japanese pirates who have landed will be
Rootless water, brothers can slowly disappear them."
"So that's it." Hao You was dubious, but he breathed a sigh of relief, "What about the arrow?"
"You don't need to worry about it. Let's go back to the position first, and the next batch of arrows will be delivered later. I will ensure that there will be no shortage of arrows on the front line."
"Thank you, General."
Hao Youduo asked a few more questions, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Dai Puyu looked at his subordinates leaving, his expression slowly becoming serious.
"Where is Fang Yinbao now? Is he not coming towards us?"
The guard next to him shook his head and said, "Go back to the general. Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy is now with the general in the left wing room."
"Very good." Dai Puyu breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised the arrow shaft full of bug holes in his hand and said, "How many more arrows like this are there in the warehouse? Send them to the front line quickly and use them as soon as possible."
Even if Fang Yinbao finds any clues by then, he won't be able to investigate anymore.
"General," the military advisor who had been silent came closer, "Given the current situation on the front line, shouldn't we take a moment, for example, send a few batches of good arrows up first to repel the Japanese pirates?"
"No need!" Dai Puyu didn't care at all.
"There are falling rocks in the sky on the front line, large and small arrow arrays on the ground, and there are also kerosene, lime and rubber, plus so many infantrymen ready to hit the ground. As soon as the Japanese pirates landed ashore, they wanted to cross the defense line carefully built by the general?"
"Dream!"
————
Hao Youduo rode his horse and hurried back to his position.
"Qian Chang," the little guard came up to us with tears streaming down his face, "You are finally back."
Hao Youduo's heart tightened and he quickly looked around.
However, on the eastern coast where the clouds hang, the east wind blows mostly from the south in summer.
At this time, there was smoke and fire everywhere on the position, and there was still an annoyance drifting towards the west.
Hao You looked around for a while, but he didn't understand the situation in front of him.
"Don't worry." He comforted: "Speak slowly, what happened?"
"...The Japanese pirates are about to kill us right in front of us."
"Yeah." Hao Youduo nodded, not surprised at all.
They are the Arrow Battalion, originally deployed at the front line.
If the Japanese pirates were to attack us, they would be the first to be killed.
Hao Youduo said nothing and hurried forward.
It didn't take long for him to reach the front. When he raised his head and looked forward, he was shocked.
In front of them, layer after layer, were shields erected by the enemy, slowly pushing towards the west.
The Japanese pirate soldiers were not in a hurry at all. They put down a batch of sandbags every few steps, forming rows and rows of sandbags.
It can prevent cavalry charges and arrows, and it can also prevent the spread of fire oil.
If you encounter a large-scale rockfall, just place your shield on top of the sandbag, and there will be a relatively safe small fortress underneath.
"What a fool." Hao Youduo punched the sandbag in front of him hard.
It seems that Ishikawa Taki learned a lot of experience and lessons from Doi Yuuto's disastrous defeat last year.
"Qian Chang, what should we do?"
what to do?
Hao You couldn't help but look up at the high ground on the left wing.
But he waited patiently for a long time, and could even see clearly the features of the Japanese pirates behind him through the eyes of his shield. However, the falling rocks in the sky showed no sign of moving this way.
"That's all, it's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself."
Hao Youduo looked fiercely at the group of ballistas behind him.
"I am ordering all the heavy crossbows to use their arrows to create a level ground for me."
"The trebuchet is also on board, fully loaded with lime bombs. Fire as many as you can. I want to turn the ground in front of me into a blanket of white snow."
"Yes!" The messenger left in a hurry.
Not long after,
"put!"
A continuous sound sounded.
Boo hoo hoo.
Countless crossbow arrows, large and small, flew past with ear-piercing whistling, and hit the shield in front of them heavily.
The power of the baggage carefully crafted by the Yunchui Military Department is extraordinary and cannot be resisted by human power.
Although several of the Japanese pirate soldiers were holding on to the big shields in their hands.
However, after a loud bang, the shields in their hands suddenly fell into pieces, and the soldiers behind them screamed and flew backwards, hitting the ground hard and unable to get up again.
The force of the crossbow arrow had not subsided, and it still pierced back, collapsing several layers of sandbags and plowing a bloody path before stopping.
Without the shields and sandbags, the frightened faces of the Japanese pirate soldiers behind were quickly revealed.
Hao Youduo's men didn't need any orders at all, they immediately seized the opportunity to shoot arrows, and after a while they shot over one piece.
For a time, the Japanese pirates had to stop their progress.
At this time, the trebuchet finally started.
Hoo ho ho.
Bags of lime powder slid across the sky and flew above the Japanese pirates.
Buzz.
Flying, the white scales painted on the bag flashed with light and began to burn.
Wow.
After a while, the lime powder inside began to fall away.
Hao Youduo got angry this time and threw almost all the lime on hand at once.
In an instant, it seemed like a lime rain fell on the east side of the position.
There was a blanket of white everywhere, covering most of the Japanese pirate soldiers who came ashore.
Ahhhh!
"my eyes."
Ah chirp ah chirp.
"I can't breathe."
…
Because the southeast wind was blowing, some lime powder was blown to the front.
Hao Youduo covered his face with a wet cloth and looked carefully.
After a while, he laughed.
"Well done. Give in to the third battalion and get ready. As soon as the smoke dissipates a little, we will go up and do what he brewed!"
cough.
The young guard next to him coughed and said, "Qian Chang, it seems that the infantry is not under our control."
"I know." Hao Youduo kicked him angrily, "Why don't you go and talk to Jiang Qianchang?"
