607 - Solution
The two sides fought fiercely with the mountain wall as the boundary, however, in the interior of the valley, it was not ordinary.
Usma, Witch, Xue, Ah Wei, Ah Qi and other leaders led the female clansmen of the tribe to carry strategic materials such as spears and bows and arrows to the crossbridge and stone walls, and at the same time brought the injured clansmen down for healing.
Against the Aomine people with wooden cards in hand, the spear throwing attack on the bridge is basically useless.
In normal times, throwing spears can kill an enemy with about five spears, but now, throwing ten spears may not be okay with the opponent.
In this case, the bow and arrow have become a big killer.
The engineering department made a total of 100 composite bows, and under the distribution of Aryan, a hundred archers were divided into four teams, one team of twenty-five men scattered in four directions.
Their target was not to target the enemy close to the valley, on the contrary, they took advantage of the range of their bows and arrows at the behest of Ah Liang to specifically attack the enemy's rear positions that lacked wooden defenses.
And each time twenty-five arrows were aimed in one direction.
Basically, as long as the enemy is targeted by the archers, there is no survivor at all.
At the beginning, Ah Liang had no experience, and he killed some miscellaneous soldiers, but later Ah Liang learned to be smart and focused on shooting those who looked like commanders on the battlefield.
After several commanders were killed in a row, the fierce offensive of the Qingfeng tribe was stopped.
None of the commanders dared to show their heads, and even if they did, they were protected by several Qingfeng people with wooden signs.
"These bastards are really tough to deal with. โ
After another rain of arrows, Aryan crouched down under the bridge, and muttered as he whistled over his head and threw spears.
Ji Thief sat cross-legged next to him and said with a smile: "Ah Liang, guess what I was thinking just now?"
Ah Liang was stunned: "What?"
Ji Thief sniffed: "Of course it's a fire attack." โ
"Fire attack?"
Ji Thief nodded: "Yes, you do." โ
As he spoke, the thief called Ah Liang to him and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ah Liang was stunned and looked at the thief: "Can it work?"
Ji Thief nodded: "Don't worry, no problem, trust me." โ
Ah Liang then sighed: "Okay, I hope it works." โ
As he spoke, he ordered the archers to continue to hold back the enemy's commanders, and as he climbed down the bridge, found Usma, and told him what the thief had told him.
In about twenty minutes or so, a number of bows and arrows were sent from the valley, only this time, each with a piece of linen cloth stained with tung oil and wrapped in pine resin.
This time, Ah Liang and the archers pulled away their bows and arrows, pointing diagonally at the sky.
A clansman walked under the archers with torches in hand and set all the arrows on fire.
Ah Liang Chong said left and right: "Aim at the place where the enemy has many wooden cards, shoot me!"
"Yes!"
With a roar in unison, all the rockets lifted up and shot towards the place where the wooden cards converged.
Unfortunately, this time, the wooden sign did not protect against the burning arrows.
Although, no matter how powerful a rocket is, it is impossible to set the wooden sign on fire, after all, it simply does not carry enough fuel on its own.
But what about twenty-five rockets?
Not to mention that all of these rockets are shot on a wooden card, but half of them can hit the target, and the wooden card can be ignited.
Pine resin and tung oil are flammable, this arrow down, the defense of the wooden card is almost zero, just after the Qingfeng people quickly removed the burning wooden card, the next wave of arrows of the archery team flew over.
As a result, there is no need to think about it, taking advantage of this gap in the middle, Ah Liang's archery team successfully won the result.
The second attack of the Qingfeng tribe was once again shaken, and before they could think of a better way, they had no choice but to retreat.
After a day of fierce fighting, there were not many deaths on both sides, after all, both sides were engaged with spears.
Of course, the spears lost by both sides that day were lost and gained when the battlefield was cleaned up and recovered at night.
It is equivalent to saying that the Lihuo tribe got the spear of the Qingfeng tribe, and the Qingfeng tribe got the spear of the Lifeng tribe.
At the end of this day, except for the more than twenty squad leader-level commanders that Ah Liang's archery team had blocked, the Ji thief didn't take advantage of it at all.
In the evening, when Ji Thief gathered everyone together for a meeting, he devoted himself to discussing this issue.
Glancing at the somewhat depressed mood on everyone's faces, Ji Thief couldn't help but smile: "Everyone, what's wrong with you? โ
The patriarchs and the leaders of the Lihuo people all raised their heads when they heard this, the corners of their mouths forcibly pulled, and they laughed.
Seeing this, the thief was speechless: "Okay, you better hang your face, this smile is more ugly than crying." โ
Everyone: "ยทยทยท"
"Patriarch, the enemy now has spears and wooden shields, and if we continue to fight like this, we won't be able to take advantage of it at all. At this time, Ah Ju couldn't help but speak.
Ji Thief looked at the others: "You shouldn't be unhappy because of this, right?"
Everyone nodded except Usma and Azai.
Seeing this, the thief shook his head: "So I said, you guys, you are too calm, we still have a trick in our hands, what are you afraid of them doing." โ
"Trick?"
Ji Thief's chin pointed at Usma: "Those fifteen trebuchets have not been used until now, isn't it a trick?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, looked at each other and smiled: "Yes, we still have trebuchets." โ
Ji Thief rubbed his nose: "So, everyone put their hearts in their stomachs, even if the enemy attacks, we are not afraid of them, not to mention, now we still have a small advantage." โ
"Warrior, you can't say that, now that we are surrounded, if we don't win a battle or something, the clansmen below will not be at ease. Patriarch Gao Shan said.
Hearing this, Ji Thief nodded: "Well, it makes sense, it's just that this battle is not so easy to fight, and I want to win too, but the enemy doesn't give me a chance." โ
Ah Liang thought for a while and said: "The main thing is that the enemy has a spear thrower in his hand, so that when they rush to the front of the valley, they can attack us without climbing the valley, which means that our advantage in front of the spear is simply gone." โ
Ji Thief did not hide the appreciation in his eyes at all and said, "That's right." โ
Ah Liang continued: "If they don't have a spear in their hand, just relying on the wooden card, we don't have to be afraid of them at all. โ
Ji Thief nodded: "Go on." โ
Ah Liang spread his hands out: "No, that's all." โ
Ji Thief tried to induce Ah Liang: "Don't you have any solution?"
Ah Liang was speechless: "How to solve it? When the enemy is using throwing spears, we are also using throwing spears against them, no matter how hard we fight, on this day, they have taken away all our throwing spears, let's take away their throwing spears, which is equivalent to saying, nothing has changed." โ
Ji Thief said: "In this case, then everyone will give up the advantage of throwing spears." โ
"Give up?" everyone was stunned.
Ji Thief nodded: "Yes, I've been calculating today, we used more than 10,000 spears in the large mountains before, how many enemy spear throwers are there? More than 1,000 is it, it means that each of them can use the spear thrower at most ten times, and when they run out, they won't have the spear in their hands, if we don't use the spear thrower to knock each other with them today, they can throw a day's throwing spear?"
Usma suddenly said, "Patriarch, do you mean that we won't use spear throwers tomorrow?"
Ji Thief nodded: "That's right." โ
"Then we can't just be beaten. โ
"Who let you get beaten, Usma, take out all the rattan cards that your engineering department is making but have not yet completed, equip everyone, remember, tomorrow no one is allowed to use throwing spears, if they attack with throwing spears, they will use rattan cards to parry and block, understand?" Ji Thief looked around.
Everyone scratched their heads: "If you don't let you use a spear, it's too difficult." โ
"If we use the spear, it means that the advantage of the stone wall will be gone, if we don't use it, after the enemy's spear throwing is used up, the spear thrower in their hands will become a waste product, and when the time comes, the advantage of our stone wall will come back. Tell me for yourselves, is it better to use the spear-throwing advantage that both sides have, or is it better to leave the spear-throwing alone and let our stone walls and mountain walls play a role?"
