Chapter 1286 appalling hoarding
The book is followed last time.
"Damn it!" Looking at Wei Yan who was running away in a hurry, Li Zheng once again punched the city wall with regret, and cursed.
If he had known that the enemy's general would be in the army, he would have had someone attacked with a big stone!
But it was too late to say anything now, so he could only watch Wei Yan run farther and farther away, and in a short while he ran back to his camp.
The other enemies also followed Wei Yanfa and ran back to their positions, leaving Li Zheng with only a stare.
After Wei Yan returned to the army, he immediately found Huang Zhong's report: "General Huang, although the enemy did not cause much damage to us this time, it was just because they could not adapt to our strange actions for a while.
If I waited to continue and let the soldiers carry sacks to live on the city wall this time, the enemy would probably shoot arrows before we could reach the city wall!
In this way, the losses we have been waiting for will be huge. I hope General Huang will find a solution."
"..." After hearing Wei Yan's words, Huang Zhong frowned, stroked his beard, and fell into deep thought.
He knew that Wei Yan was right. The reason why they lost so little this time was because their unexpected actions blocked the enemy.
If you do it again, the enemy will definitely shoot arrows in advance!
Their soldiers did not have the armor that was so invulnerable to the enemy, so how could they defend against arrows?
After thinking of this, Huang Zhong sighed long, shook his head, and smiled bitterly: "I have no good idea, I can only take one step at a time.
However, you can ask the soldiers to carry large stones or sacks in their left hand and wooden boards in their right hand to block them as large shields.
Although it cannot completely defend against enemy arrows, it can also reduce some losses."
"This..." Otherwise, after hearing Huang Zhong's words, his brows frowned tightly.
What is this? How can a mere wooden board resist the arrow that helps the enemy?
You should know that the enemy's arrows were shot from the high-rise Tiger Cancel. The impact was very strong and ordinary thin wooden boards could be shot through at will!
Even if you can't shoot through it, how can a mere wooden board block the overwhelming arrow?!
However, he didn't think of a better solution, so he could only grit his teeth and nodded in agreement.
Then he ordered to the messenger beside him: "I will pass on the order of the general and ordered the baggage soldiers to dismantle all the carriages, and hand over the wooden boards to the 100,000 troops in front of him,
Then collect all the shields of the central army and hand them over to the 100,000 army together.
At the same time, give them orders, so that they can use wooden boards or wooden shields to block them when they are carrying big rocks or sacks, and don’t rush straight straight.”
"Oh..." After giving the order, Wei Yan sighed long.
He knew that although they were ready, their casualties must be very heavy!
But what else can be done now? If the artificial mountain could not be cast earlier, they would never have been able to break through the Hulao Pass.
Therefore, even if they are hurting their muscles, they must complete the mountain in the shortest time!
"Dongdongdongdong..." After Wei Yan's order was issued for a while, another fierce sound of war drums came.
Then, a hundred thousand soldiers were holding sacks or big stones in their left hand, holding a wooden board with their right hand, slowly moving forward.
"Ha! I still want to use the same trick again, I'm too despised
Have you started a certain family?!" After Li Zhengjian on the city wall, he sneered and said, "If you wait for everyone to hold a big shield, the certain family can't do anything to you.
But you are trying to use a thin wooden board and try to block the arrows. It's so naive!"
After saying that, he waved his hand to the more than 20,000 crossbowmen on the city wall and shouted: "Let it go!"
"Om..." With Li Zheng's order, more than 20,000 wolf-toothed arrows formed a rain of arrows, and rushed towards the enemies holding shields.
That's right, it's more than 20,000!
After the enemy retreated, Li Zheng found that the 20,000 infantry in his hand was actually useless.
Because the enemy is not planning to attack the city now, but intends to destroy Hulao Pass, these 20,000 soldiers guarding the city are useless.
So Li Zheng sent more than 20,000 arches to transport more than 20,000 arches and arrows, making these soldiers become crossbow attackers.
Anyway, he doesn't need the accurate heads of these soldiers who temporarily become crossbowmen.
What he wants is a large-scale coverage attack!
As long as you can pull the bow and shoot the arrow out, these soldiers are completely competent.
Li Zheng has figured it out now. They have no chance to fight against the enemy in the short term!
Since this is the case, it would be better to let the city guards in the city become crossbowmen and long-rangers, which can also cause considerable damage to the enemy.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Sure enough, Li Zheng's plan was successful. After the arrows flew into the enemy's military formation, they instantly caused thousands of casualties!
"Hehehe..." Seeing this, Li Zheng touched his nose and laughed, then he waved his hand, "Continue!"
"No!" After a lieutenant responded, he continued to attack the crossbowmen on the city wall.
"put!"
“Buzz…”
"Puchi phuchi..."
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"Hahaha..." Seeing that the second round of arrow rain took away thousands of lives of enemies, Li Zheng was so happy!
He didn't expect that the enemy would be so stupid that he could watch his side shoot arrows without retreating. This was simply a waste of his head!
One arrow rain can kill two or three thousand people, ten times and three thousand people. In other words, just these 100,000 people can kill them in fifty or sixty times!
Although fifty or sixty shots will consume all the arrows in Hulao Pass.
But Li Zhengcai doesn't care about this!
His main purpose now is to try his best to delay time and kill more enemies. If he can shoot 100,000 people with millions of arrows, it will be a big profit for Li Zheng!
Because no one in the world has more sufficient weapons than the Li family!
Since Li Zhi arrived at the end of the Han Dynasty, he has been suffering from mild firepower deficiency.
So he frantically hoarded bows, arrows and weapons, and even a lot of food.
Unfortunately, all these things are in Luoyang. If they were in Hulao Pass, Li Zheng would be sure that he could kill these enemies outside the city with arrows alone!
Because Li Zhi has accumulated nearly 100 million arrows!
The reason why so many are made is mainly because this thing is too easy to make!
It has no technical content, a small wooden stick, a few feathers, and an iron arrow can do it
.
Even a commoner can make thirty or fifty pieces a day.
So, before he knew it, Li Zhi had hoarded so much.
Unfortunately, all these things are in Luoyang, and they only brought more than one million arrows when they came here.
However, for Li Zheng, these are barely enough. As long as these arrows can shoot 100,000 people, it will be a big profit for them!
Outside the city, Huang Zhong’s place...
"..." Huang Zhong and Wei Yan stared blankly at the rain of arrows shooting out from the city without saying a word.
Although the two of them wanted to withdraw their troops now and ask their troops to withdraw quickly, neither of them issued this order in the end!
Because they knew that although the damage was severe at this time, this kind of loss was necessary!
If they cannot quickly build a mountain, even if a soldier is not dead, they will have no choice but to use Hulao Pass!
So, although they felt heartbroken, they forced themselves to hold it back!
"put!!!"
"Bang bang bang..." Finally, he came to the soldiers in front of the low wall he had forged with the enemy's three-wheeled arrow rain. After roaring, he threw down the stones on his shoulders.
Then, the people who fought against the sack behind them quickly threw the soil in the sack into the cracks of the stones.
After doing this, they quickly turned around and fled in panic with horror.
There is no way, who knows whether the enemy will continue shooting arrows?
However, to their surprise, there was no movement in the city when they escaped.
At this moment, a lieutenant on the city wall also asked Li Zheng with confusion, "General, why don't we continue shooting arrows?"
"Can't shoot" Li Zheng shook his head after hearing the captain's words, and said, "Although we have a lot of arrows, we can't waste it!"
Speaking of this, he raised his finger and pointed at the enemies who fled in a hurry, and said, "Look at these enemies, they are now running in the opposite direction of the archery shooting,
If I wait to shoot arrows, even if the arrows hit them, they will release some of their power and cause very little damage.
Besides, look at these people, they all leaned on the thin wooden boards behind them. If they were shooting arrows now, they could only shoot on the thin wooden boards."
After hearing this, the captain frowned and said, "How much can a mere thin wooden board play?
They were also holding thin wooden boards when they were attacking, but weren’t they shot very miserably by us?”
"This is not the time!" Li Zheng shook his head and explained: "The reason why the crossbowmen we were waiting for was able to shoot the enemy's thin wooden boards through was because they were charging towards the arrows.
Their speed of charge in front increased the lethality of the arrows, so a rain of arrows took away thousands of lives of the enemy!
But now they were facing the arrows and running forward frantically.
In this way, even if the arrow hits them, it will invisibly weaken the lethality of the arrow.
Plus the defense of the wooden boards diagonally above them is enough to keep them unscathed!
So, when we shoot arrows now, we are just wasting arrows in vain.
Let’s talk about it…”
