842 Huang Quan's night attack plan

A large number of stones rose to the sky and fell inside and outside the city, and a large number of earth-shattering thunder and fierce fire oil tanks also rose into the sky and fell inside and outside the city.

Violent explosions sounded one after another, and one ball of fire burst out one after another, and the entire Sword Pavilion Pass was on fire and smoking inside and outside the city, and from the outside, the condition was extremely bad.

And the situation inside is indeed very bad, just like Xun You speculated, the morale of the Shu army has been seriously hit.

Almost collapsed by the explosion of the earth-shattering thunder and the burning of the fierce fire oil tank, and fled in all directions, if it weren't for Huang Quan leading his own personal soldiers as a supervising team, it is estimated that the front-line troops would have collapsed.

Wu Yi and Huang Quan wanted to let the army hold on, so they had to find a way not to let Guancheng be attacked too violently, but for a while, neither Huang Quan nor Wu Yi had a good way to defend against this flying disaster.

If it weren't for the fact that the frequency of the Wei army's bombardment could not be increased, and the number of earth-shattering thunders and fierce fire oil tanks was not so much, it is estimated that this Guancheng would not be able to stay at all.

And this is also their only way to survive, because the frequency of attacks is not high, although it lasts for a long time, it is enough for the high-level of the Shu army to find some clues.

For example, this fire, which is difficult to extinguish with water, can be extinguished with sand, and once the fire is burned, it is only necessary to cover it with a shovel of soil to extinguish the flames.

A small number of earth-shattering thunderbolts have not exploded when they fall on the ground, so they can be quickly picked up and thrown to a place where no one is around, and then lie on the ground to reduce casualties.

The flying stone is difficult to defend against, but it is easy to dodge, and there are no other sequelae when it falls to the ground, unlike the fierce fire oil canister and the earth-shattering thunder.

So the Shu army can still take a few breaths in the chaos.

That being said, the huge losses are severe.

Even if they died in the attack, there were still many people who did not die, but were only injured, and this wound was difficult to heal.

Those who were burned by fire, injured by gravel and iron sand, and shocked by shock waves, all of them were wounded and sick, but the Shu army, which lacked medicine, could not provide medical treatment to these wounded and sick at all.

Many of the sick and wounded died in this endless wait.

There are not many people who are killed by direct bombardment, and most of them die after being injured and cannot be treated, and this group of people is the majority.

In the face of such a situation, Wu Yi and Huang Quan were at a loss.

"Hasn't medicine come yet? It's not okay to go on like this, we don't have many people killed in battle, all of them died of injuries and diseases, and the number of people is increasing, and when the Wei army attacks the city again, we can't take out troops and horses to defend the city, and this situation must be solved. ”

Huang Quan walked around, thinking left and right and couldn't think of a way, Wu Yi was also full of sorrow.

They knew very well that it was impossible for Liu Zhang's side to provide more help, and they really couldn't find a better way at the moment, so in desperation, Wu Yi thought of a solution that was not a solution.

For those soldiers who are still saved, heat the wood, extinguish the fire, and then put it directly on the wound, scalding the wound off, so that the wound can quickly scab over.

However, it is very painful, and there may not be no sequelae, so this is not a solution, and it is also a helpless move when the wounded soldiers are not fully treated.

Having said that, there are still a small number of people who have received such treatment, and there are still many people who have been injured by the gravel iron sand in the earth-shaking thunder, and the gravel iron sand penetrates deep into the body and cannot be removed, and there are more than one, or even dozens of places, which cannot be treated at all.

There were no conditions for surgery in the Shu Han army, unlike the Wei army, which marched with a whole large medical team, and the concept of a field hospital took shape.

The medical team trained by Hua Tuo followed in batches, and when they arrived at the battlefield, they simultaneously set up a field hospital to perform simple surgical operations on wounded Wei soldiers at any time, which greatly reduced the casualty rate.

In order to ensure the sufficient supply of medicinal materials, Guo Peng organized a group of medicinal material experts to carry out artificial cultivation of medicinal materials a long time ago, saying that even if some years and medicinal properties are sacrificed, it is necessary to ensure that there are sufficient quantities.

Anyway, most people don't need to be treated with precious medicinal herbs of high years to recover, as long as there is medicine, they can live.

The Shu army did not have these conditions, and Liu Zhang did not care as much about the lives of the soldiers as Guo Peng, so these wounded soldiers could only die miserably without treatment.

The Shu army's disease fatality rate soon far exceeded the battle death rate.

And the Wei army no longer launched a strong attack, so they used trebuchets to carry out long-range strikes, using stones to fire oil tanks and earth-shattering thunder to strike day and night.

They also shoot during the day, at night, and in the early morning, often waking up the Shu soldiers in their sleep, from officers to big-headed soldiers.

After tossing like this for several days, the soldiers of the Shu army really couldn't sleep peacefully, everyone was exhausted, with a big black circle under their eyes, they were not energetic, they were very easily frightened, and the overall morale declined to a certain extent.

Wu Yi and Huang Quan were worried about this, thinking that they could not continue like this.

It is no longer easy to dodge the blows of these long-range weapons, and the casualties have continued to increase in the past few days, but after all, with the experience of dealing with them, the casualties can be contained to a certain extent.

However, the blows of the Wei army day and night seriously affected the rest of the Shu army, making the Shu soldiers stranded, complaining, and demoralized.

"I can't go on like this, death is not the most important thing, I can't even rest now, no one knows when there will be thunder, it will die, this will really kill people."

Wu Yi shook his head again and again, and at the same time slapped his face to make himself a little sober.

Huang Quan's dark circles are not smaller than Wu Yi's, but his thinking is still agile.

He proposed a plan for a night attack.

"We have no choice but to wait, but in this matter, we can take the initiative to attack, we can attack at night and destroy the Wei people's stone thrower, so that they can no longer use the stone thrower."

"Will the Wei people be defenseless?"

Wu Yi shook his head: "The Wei people must be on guard, if we send troops to attack, the Wei people will also send troops to protect them." ”

"That's why I didn't suggest going out of the city to attack at the beginning, but endured it for a few days, the Wei people didn't know our reality and thought that we didn't dare to attack, and we never attacked, so the Wei people must relax their vigilance, this is our opportunity."

Huang Quan gritted his teeth: "Tonight, when we attack, attack it unprepared, destroy the Wei people's stone thrower, and make it have to attack the city!" ”

"That's the only way, no matter what, even if we kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000 ourselves, we must destroy the Wei people's stone thrower!"

Wu Yi nodded and said, "I'll personally lead the troops!" ”

"Nope! The general can't go, the general is the main general, and the main general can't take risks in person, leave this matter to me, and I'll take the troops to do it. ”

Huang Quan took the initiative to ask for help.

"Gong Heng, you have never led the troops to fight alone, this is too dangerous for you to go."

Wu Yi shook his head.

Huang Quan still insisted.

"The general is the main general, the safety of the main general is related to the whole army, if something happens to the main general, the general thinks I can control the situation? The general didn't let me go and went by myself, do you think that I can guard the Sword Pavilion better than the general? ”

Wu Yi had no choice but to let his general Gao Pei accompany Huang Quan, and the two of them led 800 elite soldiers who could see the road clearly at night, and took advantage of the night to raid the Wei army's stone thrower outside the pass and destroy it.

This would destroy the Wei army's long-range attack capability and force the Wei army to return to normal offensive and defensive battles, so that the Shu army would have an absolute advantage and could continue to defend the city.

Gao Pei and Huang Quan put on fine armor, led five hundred elite soldiers, hid in a safe place, ate,, and solved personal problems, and after recuperating their spirits, they waited for night to fall.
