Ma Yaohan looked at the row of catapults and was stunned.
But soon Ma Yaohan knew the reason.
When Ma Yaohan repeated his old trick, he let his tens of thousands of archers approach the shore to cover them as they continued to fill in the river and build bridges.
The catapults on the opposite side collectively trembled, and countless unknown objects were thrown towards them.
After the explosion in the sky, rubble suddenly fell down from the sky, instantly clearing the area of people.
Air blast!
Wu Dayong is having a lot of fun now.
They deliberately selected a route that Ma Yaohan and the others must pass through, and laid out catapults and explosives in advance.
Under the influence of Wu Dayong's trebuchets, Ma Yaohan's troops did not dare to approach the river at all.
They walked this way, and the catapults followed suit.
The distance of a catapult is much further than that of a bow and arrow, plus there is a river across the river, so you can only passively be beaten, but you can't reach the other side.
Ma Yaohan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
The situation was so deadlocked.
"Sir, it's not good, we only have two days of food left."
"The wooden bridge we finally built behind us was washed away by the rising river water. The grain team behind us was divided into several sections and couldn't be transported at all!"
When Ma Yaohan was depressed, another soldier came forward and said.
"What?"
"The water is rising again?"
"In this way, the daily rations per person will be reduced."
"By the way, go look for it in the surrounding villages. There are also edible things in the fields. Bring them over."
Ma Yaohan said depressedly.
There was originally a dilemma, but now there is no way out.
"Sir, we have not stopped to search for food along the way, but every village is clean. Not to mention any living things, not even a grain of rice is left."
"They are so cruel!"
"I just took them all with me when I left."
The soldier spread his hands helplessly.
Since they had to fortify the wall and clear the country, how could Wu Dayong leave them a chance?
While they were blowing up the bridge, they retreated with the people.
"Made!"
"Then let me go to the river to fish for fish first. If there are any fish, we can hold them for a while."
Ma Yaohan thought for a while and said.
"Sir, many of our brothers have tried fishing before. There are many big fish in the river ahead."
"But the men and horses in Hezhou across the way are really hateful. They just wait with bows and arrows. When we go to the river, they don't take action. When we go to cast the net and lower the pole, they don't take action. They wait for us to close the net or catch the fish.
At that time, they started."
"Many brothers were reluctant to part with the fish they caught and had no time to retreat, so they were all killed."
The soldier said sadly.
"Made!"
"Then go at night!"
"These people from Hezhou don't follow any rules. They have the ability to set up a battle array and fight with real swords and guns!"
"Playing these sneaky tricks all day long is really abominable!"
"Go ahead, let's arrange it this way. Don't I also eat so little? I'm sorry they can't have any objections!"
Ma Yaohan waved his hand impatiently and drove the soldiers out.
Although they can barely hold on for now, what will happen in two days? Once the food and grass are cut off, the morale of the army will immediately weaken. Even if they cross the river, they will not be able to fight.
Is it possible that when the hundreds of thousands of troops of my own come out this time, it really ends in an anticlimax?
It sounds strange.
What was that thing in the past that made noise and released rocks?
No wonder my 100,000 troops fell into disarray in Hezhou. If there really were such weapons, it would be explained.
And how were so many catapults made?
It's different from what we've seen before. The distance is so far, and the catapults are used for defense. You really think highly of us.
But now there is really no other way.
Once you get close to the river, those things will come crashing down.
If there was a bridge, I could rush across it directly, and it would be nice if I killed more people. But in this situation, I can't use my strength.
What's more, there is no food, so there is no way to take a detour.
"well……"
Ma Yaohan sighed.
"The one with the surname Ma!"
"Are you playing with us?!"
When Ma Yaohan was upset, three people suddenly barged in aggressively.
Ma Yaohan saw it and stood up quickly.
"It turned out to be three supervisors. Why did you say this?"
Ma Yaohan asked quickly.
These three people were the supervisors from Xiazhou. Although the 100,000 troops in Xiazhou were controlled by Ma Yaohan, it was these three people who really had the final say.
Along the way, Ma Yaohan treated these three people as uncles, but to his surprise, he was still dissatisfied.
"Why do you say this?"
"Look at what shit you gave us to eat at night?"
"The pigs won't even eat it!"
"Besides, this is just enough, who can eat it?!"
One of them threw a plate of food on the table and said to Ma Yaohan.
I used too much force and dropped the dish directly to the ground.
Seeing this made Ma Yaohan very angry.
This dish was specially prepared by Ma Yaohan, and it contained a few pieces of leftover horse meat.
Although the food was a bit small, it was much better than the meals of other soldiers and even his commander-in-chief.
Still not satisfied!
I was a little annoyed immediately.
But there is no way, now that I belong to Cao Kang, and these people are Cao Kang's cronies, there is no way to be strong.
"this……"
"The food road has been interrupted due to the rising river water, so the food now is limited. The food given to the three adults is the maximum. To be honest, I just ate a small steamed bun today. It's really——"
"fart!"
"You can eat whatever you like, what does that have to do with us?!"
"After fighting like this, you still have the nerve to talk to us about taking Hezhou. Mr. Ma, you are really shameless!"
"Hurry up and serve us delicious food, otherwise we won't give you Mr. Ma a good word when we go back. You just wait to be dealt with by Mr. Ma!"
The three of them walked out while talking.
Then, there was a sound of horses neighing outside.
Ma Yaohan's face turned red.
I was quite proud before. Who would have thought that the humiliation of relying on someone else to take refuge with Cao Kang would be worse than if I continued to support myself at that time.
Even if you die, die with dignity.
One wrong step, one wrong step after another, and now I am living like a dog...
Ma Yaohan sat down helplessly.
"Sir, the three supervisors killed your horse and said they wanted to go back to stew meat."
"this……"
Several soldiers came in and said.
"I understand, you go down..."
Ma Yaohan waved his hand and drove the people out.
at this time.
Over here across the river.
A huge human head is slowly rising into the sky under the burning flames...
