Chapter 80: The Shameless Huns
Seeing that there were constantly Huns sitting on the road of attack, some Huns were hit by arrows in their bodies, but they did not die, they were crying, screaming, and begging for help on the ground, and all kinds of miserable voices spread around.
No matter how brave the Huns are, they will always hear screams and calls for help in their ears, and they will be greatly affected in their hearts. The Huns, who were originally high morale and full of confidence, would also affect the fighting spirit.
On the salt city wall, many veterans were scolding the recruits around them. A new archer cried: "Kill, I kill." β
The veteran next to him gave a slap in the face and scolded loudly: "Waste! It was the Huns who were killed, they were not people, they were barbarian natives. If you don't kill the other person, the other person will kill you. β
Boy, what's the shaking hand? Ya, your body is stronger than the Huns, what are you afraid of, calm down, take a deep breath, and stabilize your emotions.
Hold it! Ya, who told you to run around, come back quickly.
Waste, pick up the weapon, you're a man, are you?
What are you crying about? Ya, it's the Huns who died, and it's not your relatives who died, what kind of cat urine is shed.
The walls were full of shouting, scolding, and even punching and kicking. It's all recruits who are abused and scolded by veterans.
Ye Tong watched very calmly, without interfering, let alone interjecting. I know in my heart that this is the experience and torture that every recruit must endure. Only by crossing this hurdle can he successfully transform into a real soldier of the Great Qin Empire.
In general, the performance of the recruits is good, especially the production of the system, and they can forcibly endure the discomfort in their hearts. There are only locally recruited recruits, and a small number of them react violently. However, under the scolding of the veteran, he quickly quieted down and entered a period of transformation.
Protected by the city walls, it is a very good opportunity for new recruits to transform. You don't have to fight head-on, you don't have to worry about life and death. Once transformed, recruits are not afraid of battle and have the ability to protect themselves.
In the first wave of the Huns' attack, they didn't even touch the city walls, leaving hundreds of corpses and fleeing back in a hurry. Countless ladders were lost in the middle of the way.
It didn't take long, and half an hour later, the second wave of the Huns began, and in this attack, the Huns sent five thousand people to participate in the attack, which was two thousand more than the previous wave. The momentum is greater than the last one, and it is also equipped with a large number of archers.
Ballista bed put!
Whoosh!
After the Huns entered the range of the ballista, Chen Fei immediately ordered to shoot. Hundreds of sharp arrows were shot quickly, taking the lives of nearly 100 Huns.
Immediately afterwards, the archers began to shoot, thousands of sharp arrows flew towards the attacking Huns, three shots, the interval was very short, the Huns attacked on the way, have to bear the torture of the rain of arrows.
Whoosh!
About 100 meters in front of the salt city wall, it became the burial place of the Huns. The Huns on the offensive kept falling, blood was drifting, and cries were screaming. The Huns who did not die silently asked for help, but none of the Huns stopped to help.
Bai Lixin said: "Lord, the Huns who attacked are basically old, weak, sick and disabled. The grassland people have a habit of using the old, weak, sick and disabled to act as cannon fodder when charging into battle, on the one hand, to consume the opponent's arrows, and on the other hand, to consume the opponent's physical strength and will. β
Ye Tong nodded, speechless at this impersonal and extremely shameless behavior of the Huns. The Yanhuang people pay attention to respecting the old and loving the young, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are the objects of protection, and the Huns let them become cannon fodder, which is really a barbaric nation.
Several successive waves of attacks were ineffective, because the Qin army had too many crossbow arrows and bows and arrows, and they were too ferocious. In addition, the localities are narrow, and the superiority in troops cannot be reflected, and it is a situation of being beaten.
A new round of offensive began, and the Huns used wooden planks on their heads to protect them. Ye Tong saw a slight sneer appear at the corner of his mouth.
The Huns had no way, there was a lack of technology in the steppe, not only did there be no iron tools, but even bronze tools were seriously lacking. There is no need to think about shields and the like, there can't be any. Armor and the like are only available to commanders, commanders, and tribal leaders.
Seeing the Huns with the planks above their heads entering the range of the catapult, Chen Fei shouted: "Throw stones, fire!" β
Thundered! Thundered!
Dozens of catapults on the salt wall opened fire, and stones of various sizes and full of sky fell from the sky. As long as you are hit by a stone, there is basically no chance of survival. It's so brutal! It's too savage! It's bloody!
Yes! My foot is broken.
Yes! My hand bones are shattered.
Planks can resist the shooting of bows and arrows, but they cannot resist the smashing of catapults. The stones thrown by the catapult, dozens of kilograms and thousands of kilograms of small ones, were smashed down from the sky, and the formation was really terrifying, like the sky falling apart and the earth cracking, and Lei Gong was angry.
Ye Tong took a look, the Huns were really barbarian natives, they really couldn't attack cities, they were only good at field warfare. The siege of the city was a technical job, many difficulties, and extremely difficult for the Huns. During the attack, the Huns lacked organizational discipline and rushed forward in a swarm of laziness.
Ye Tong walked down the city wall, went to the north city gate to take a look, and saw that in the attack of the north city gate, the Huns were completely bluffing, sending hundreds of people each time they attacked, and fled before they reached the city wall. It's the offense, it's the performance or not.
The north city gate is indeed not easy to attack, the passage is too narrow, only more than ten meters wide, and every time hundreds of people are dispatched, they feel crowded and their backs are close to their backs. No matter how many soldiers and horses are sent to battle, it is basically to deliver food.
The next day, the Huns' attack was even more violent, day and night. It is estimated that he felt that the strength of the Qin army in Yancheng was limited, and he wanted to drag the Qin army down.
The Huns knew that in Yancheng at this time, Ye Tong's soldiers and horses reached 80,000, Peng Yue took away 10,000 turquoise horses, and there were still more than 70,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, defending the two city gates, which was not a problem at all, and even the fourth and fifth shifts could be rotated.
The Huns attacked for four days and lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. However, for the Huns, who had 150,000 iron cavalry, the loss of tens of thousands was insignificant and did not affect the overall combat strength.
In Yancheng, after four days of defensive counterattack, there were not many casualties, only thousands, dozens of seriously injured, no deaths, timely ambulance, no deaths. Minor injuries have little impact and can be recovered in a few days.
Ye Tong was happy that after four days of fierce fighting, the 40,000 recruits had completely transformed into a qualified soldier of the Great Qin Empire, and their combat power had skyrocketed, especially when it was produced by the system, and their strength had skyrocketed.
On the fifth day of the Huns' attack on Yancheng, Ye Tong still exercised in the morning according to the habit, practiced the original marksmanship, washed up, and ate breakfast.
Ye Tong, who was eating breakfast, was bumped in by Bai Lixin and shouted, "Lord, the big thing is not good." β
Shame!
The sky hasn't fallen, what's the hurry?
"Okay, Bai Lixin, when the sky falls, General Ben is on top of it, panicked, what kind of system, calm down. Let's talk about it, what is it that makes you panic. Remember, you are an important minister of the Great Qin Empire, and you are a staff officer of the Imperial Army, so you can't mess up if anything happens. β
If it is a weak and incompetent army, it is difficult to be demoralized without being demoralized by such a burst of screams.
"My lord, I'm sorry! It was a poor consideration of humility, and today the Huns attacked, holding thousands of Yanhuang people in front, and the soldiers on the city wall did not know what to do. β
Depend on!
Despicable and shameless, the Huns are really not human. However, if you want to talk about courtesy with the barbarian Huns, it seems that you are a bit playing the piano to the cow.
Ye Tong didn't hesitate after hearing this, threw down his job, and directly participated in running towards the city wall.
Ye Tong quickly climbed the city wall, looked up, and saw thousands of Yanhuang people, including men, women and children, all of whom were hijacked by the Huns, and were held in front of the attack, using the Yanhuang people as human shields. Some of the Yan and Huang people in the team were crying, and some were crying helplessly.
Ye Tong was furious, and shouted in the direction of the Huns: "Barbarian Hun Tartars, listen up, this general Ye Tong is the general of the Great Qin Empire, and I swear here, as long as a descendant of Yan and Huang dies, this general will slaughter a hundred Hun Tartars to avenge it, if this oath is violated, heaven will not tolerate it." β
Ye Tong's oath made the soldiers, generals, and captains of the Great Qin Empire on the city wall, including Bai Lixin, Zhang Han, Fu Bo and others, stunned and opened their mouths. Everyone never dreamed that Ye Tong would react so much, it was the first time they saw Ye Tong angry.
In the face of Ye Tong's oath, the Huns outside the city wall did not feel the slightest, but laughed loudly, thinking that it was Ye Tong's threat, and did not take it seriously at all.
This also left bloody and brutal killings when Ye Tong led the army to conquer the Xiongnu in the future, and countless Huns died under the butcher's knife of Ye Tong's army.
Ye Tong didn't hesitate, and directly ordered: "Immediately arrange spearmen, shield soldiers, and archers to stand in front of the city gate and prepare to rescue the people." In addition, let the snipers gather at once, immediately go to the city wall, and hunt down the Huns behind the people. β
One order after another was issued, and none of Ye Tong's subordinates dared to persuade him. Everyone knew in their hearts that the gains of rescuing the people in this way outweighed the losses, and it was estimated that more soldiers died than the people rescued.
In the end, after Zhang Han, Zhou Bo, and Bai Lixin muttered for a while, Bai Lixin came over and said, "Lord, you can't!" In this way, the soldiers will suffer great losses to rescue the people, and it is not clear that the Huns will take this opportunity to attack the city, which will outweigh the losses. β
Ye Tong grimaced, snorted, and said coldly: "Remember, what is the duty of a soldier of the Qin Empire?" It is the power to defend the family and the country, the protector of the people, and the protector of the descendants of Yan and Huang. If you can't protect the people and defend the country, is it necessary for the army to exist? β
The generals and soldiers produced by the system have taken action, and Ye Tong's words must be carried out even if he dies, and there is no price to talk about. In addition, everyone's philosophy is the same, so there is no need to tell at all.
It didn't take long for hundreds of snipers to be in place, holding a sniper crossbow imitated by Huang Yueying in their hands, with a range of only 150 meters, and they couldn't produce scopes, which Ye Tong exchanged from the system at a high price.
Because the scope was too expensive, Ye Tong only produced a few hundred sniper crossbows. It's too expensive, Ye Tong can't afford it. A scope requires tens of thousands of wealth points, which is really expensive.
Some people may ask, isn't there hundreds of technical projects that have been developed?
Yes, Ye Tonghua has invested heavily in the development of hundreds of technologies, the problem is that the technology is developed, and it is not waiting for the day to achieve production, which is two different things.
After development, it can be exchanged from the system. The problem is that the price is too expensive, so expensive that Ye Tong really can't afford it. Think about it, get a converter out, spend 5 million wealth points, plus supporting facilities, a total of 10 million wealth points.
