The book is picked up again.

"How can this be reasonable, how can the loss be so big?!"

Just as Li Zheng thought, after all the soldiers ran back, Huang Zhong looked at the list of dead in his hand, and his heart was very anxious.

"Just these three rounds of arrow rain took away nearly 6,000 troops, is this worth it?!" Huang Zhong slammed the list of the dead in his hand, and roared in a heart-rending whisper: "Doesn't this mean that as long as the enemy has more than 50 rounds of arrow rain, he can kill our 100,000 troops?!! How can this battle be fought?! ”

Huang Zhong was about to go crazy after seeing the list of the dead, one attack would lose 6,000 people, wouldn't ten attacks be 60,000?

Twenty times that's 120,000!

But if you want to cast that artificial mountain, you can't do it just twenty times, you have to do it at least fifty or sixty times!

In this way, it is impossible for them to complete the task with all the troops in their hands!

After thinking of this, Huang Zhong's face was full of decadence.

Seeing this, Wei Yan on the side frowned and thought for a while, then comforted: "General Huang doesn't have to be so decadent, how can the enemy have so many arrows?"

Just now, the last general clearly saw that the enemy had turned all the soldiers in the city into crossbowmen.

In other words, the enemy has to spend more than 20,000 arrows in one round of arrows, and more than 60,000 in these three rounds!

Even if there are two or three hundred thousand arrows in the city, they can only shoot twenty or thirty thousand people, and when their arrows are exhausted, there is nothing they can do. ”

"......" Huang Zhong felt a little relieved after hearing Wei Yan's words, but then he frowned and asked, "What if the enemy has 1.8 million arrows?" ”

"It's absolutely impossible!" After Wei Yan heard Huang Zhong's words, he immediately shook his head categorically, and said confidently, "Didn't the general find out?" Just now, when I was waiting to attack, the enemy fired three rounds of arrows, but when I waited to retreat, the enemy did not fire a single arrow!

This proves that the number of arrows in the enemy's hands is not large, so he did not chase us with arrows. ”

In fact, Wei Yan felt that he was already overestimating that the enemy had two or three hundred thousand arrows.

Because in these days, the role of arrows is not to shoot the enemy, but to suppress the enemy.

No one will bring too many arrows for the defense of the city, just bring a little 100,000 or 200,000, and it is a burden to bring too much.

Especially in siege warfare, the role of arrows is too small.

In addition, it costs too much money and material resources to train a crossbowman, and the crossbowmen rely too much on logistics when fighting, so the average army trains only three or four thousand crossbowmen.

In other words, a thousand crossbowmen can shoot tens of thousands of arrows in a day at most.

Therefore, when defending the city, not many people are willing to carry too many arrows, because they do not work, and it wastes logistics labor.

With this effort, isn't it better for them to bring more food equipment than anything else?

These are all common sense to lead troops to fight, so Wei Yancai thinks that there are absolutely no million arrows in the Tiger Prison Pass, and there are only 200,000 at most!

However, he overlooked a key point - why the enemy was suddenly able to take out more than 20,000 bows!

The enemy can suddenly come up with more than 20,000 bows, so why can't he come up with more than a million arrows?

But this question is taken by these two

Ignoring it, after listening to Wei Yan's words, Huang Zhong's eyes rekindled hope, and he nodded again and again: "Wen Chang is right, the enemy definitely doesn't have too many arrows, at most two or three hundred thousand!"

Even if he counts the most 300,000 pieces, he can shoot 30,000 people including me, 30,000 people, and the old man still loses it! ”

After coming here, Huang Zhong regained his spirits and instructed the herald on the side: "Pass the order of the five armies, and order Zhongjun to transfer 6,000 troops to supplement the front army, and order the front army to continue to cast the mountain!" ”

"No!"

"Knock knock knock ......" As the war drums sounded, more than 100,000 troops carried stones, sacks and other things, and rushed towards the Tiger Prison Pass frantically.

Li Zheng, who was closed in the tiger prison, chuckled lightly when he saw this, and waved his hand, "Release!" ”

"Buzz ......"

"Ahhh!!h This rain of arrows took the lives of two or three thousand soldiers!

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who were watching the battle, saw this situation, their fists clenched tightly, and they muttered: "The enemy's arrows are not many, the enemy's arrows are not many......"

They can only comfort themselves now, because now they have no choice but to watch the enemy shoot their soldiers!

If there is even the slightest solution, they will not deceive themselves here!

"Put !!"

"Buzz ......"

"Ahhh......h

"Put !!"

"Buzz ......"

"Ahhh......h

After two rounds, the attacking soldiers finally threw everything on their shoulders against the low wall.

Then they frantically fled like rabbits with arrows, and in a short time they came to the Chinese army.

After returning to the Chinese army, the morale of the entire army was very low!

Because this kind of battle that can only be beaten and can't fight back is too wretched!

However, they did not dare to disobey Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's orders, so they could only hold their breath and continue to carry stones and hemp belts to continue to send them to death.

Half an hour later......

Huang Zhong clenched his fists, stared at the city wall, and muttered: "It's been ten rounds, and they've shot about 200,000 arrows, so they must be running out of arrows, right?" ”

"Big... Probably......" After Wei Yan heard Huang Zhong's words, he replied with a little weakness,

Truth be told, he couldn't figure out exactly how many arrows the enemy had now.

Because judging from the enemy's unhesitating shot just now, the enemy doesn't look like he is running out of arrows.

In a normal siege, if the defending side is running out of arrows, they will reduce the number of crossbowmen and concentrate the arrows on those who are better at archery.

But now the crossbowmen in the Tiger Prison have not been reduced, which means that they are not short of arrows at all!

However, although Wei Yan thought of this, he didn't dare to say it.

Because once they say it, then the plan of the two of them will be completely frustrated, and then they will have to admit defeat, they would rather deceive themselves than break this point!

So, they pretended not to think of this, and looked straight up at the wall, hoping that the next round of arrows would have fewer arrows from the enemy.

It's a pity that reality is reality, and not because of their self-deception

People change......

"Put !!"

"Buzz ......"

"Ahhh......h

In the eleventh round, the enemy still fired more than 20,000 arrows, causing them to lose two or three thousand soldiers!

"Bang!" Seeing this, Huang Zhong slammed the horsewhip in his hand to the ground, and roared in a low voice: "Something is wrong! The enemy is definitely not between two or three hundred thousand, as we have guessed!

At this point, the enemy will have to get at least 500,000, and I can't let the soldiers go to death!! ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Wei Yan, whose face had changed drastically, turned his head, and ordered loudly to the herald: "Pass the old man's military order, Mingjin withdraw the troops!! ”

"General! Don't !! After Wei Zhong heard Huang Zhong's words, he immediately grabbed his arm and stopped him loudly: "We have lost more than 20,000 people now, if we stop here, won't our previous efforts be in vain?!" ”

"Humph!" When Huang Zhong heard Wei Yan's words, he snorted coldly, his hand shook and broke free of his hand, and asked with a gloomy face: "Did you let the old man watch the army I was waiting for to die?!"

Tell you, the old man can't do it!

Judging from the situation just now, it is obvious that the enemy has more than two or three hundred thousand arrows, and even five or six hundred thousand or one hundred and eighty thousand arrows!

If we continue to act according to the method just now, then won't we lose more than 100,000 troops?! ”

"General, don't get angry first, listen to your subordinates" After Wei Yan heard Huang Zhong's words, he took a deep breath, pressed his hand, stared at Huang Zhong's eyes and said seriously: "General, I have no way to retreat now, I can only go one way to the dark!"

Because, we have already lost 20,000 horses just now, if we change our strategy, will it be a waste of the previous losses?

So even if the enemy really has more than 500,000 arrows, we must not stop!

It's nothing more than a loss of 50,000 horses, and for hundreds of thousands of troops such as us, 50,000 horses is not too much!

General, only by exhausting the arrows in the city can we calmly cast the mountain, so we must not stop now!! ”

"......" After Huang Zhong listened to Wei Yan's words, he closed his eyes and was silent for a while before suddenly asking, "You mean to let the old man gamble?" ”

As he spoke, he opened his eyes suddenly, stared at Wei Yan deadly, and asked word by word: "Bet with the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops?!" ”

"......" After Wei Yan heard this, he pursed his lips, nodded fiercely, and said, "That's right, it's a gamble!"

If it succeeds, then I'll make a lot of money!

Even if we fail, we will only lose 100,000 horses, and we can still have an advantage, so it's worth my wait! ”

"The loss of 100,000 horses?!" After Huang Zhong heard this, he was completely angry, grabbed Wei Yan's shirt, and roared in a low voice: "What you said is light!!

That's 100,000 lives, not 100,000 grasses!!

These are the pillars of 100,000 households, without them, how would these people live at home?! ”

"......" Wei Yan heard Huang Zhong's roar, raised his head, stared at his eyes, and said seriously: "General, as long as you promise to continue the attack, then after a while, your subordinates will be willing to be the vanguard, and be the first to carry stones to build a city!" ”

"......" Huang Zhong was stunned after hearing Wei Yan's words......
