Chapter 126: Crossbow Arrow Harassment! 3/3
Cockles and Gusu said their reasons and canvassed!
Seeing this, the ministers began to hesitate, whether to stand there, and after a while, there were thirty-six ministers in the court, of which twenty were standing on the left, and the remaining sixteen were standing on the right.
Dispatch troops!
"The results are out, then send troops, Gusujun, this time, you will lead the troops yourself!" King Zheng made up his mind.
"No!" Gusu was weak, as if he was a defeated rooster, while the cockle was smug and a little fluttering.
When Gu Su saw the cockle's proud face, he couldn't help but scold angrily: "Stupid, do you think Benjun is arguing with you? Send troops, send troops, come out of your size, we have 3,000 soldiers and horses, what can we do, the Wei army can kill us with a wave of crossbow arrows, Ben Jun really obeyed you, and at this time he is still in opposition to Ben Jun, stupid! ”
Gusu is really angry, he doesn't know what to do with the troops, three thousand soldiers and horses, to meet the morale and fierce Wei army, it is simply to smash stones with eggs, or, it is not impossible to send troops, after all, Yue is the suzerain, but can you unite the rest of the subordinate countries of Yue to form a coalition to rescue together?
With 3,000 soldiers and horses in Zheng Guo alone, I'm afraid it won't be for Wei to send war exploits!
"The king has now agreed to send troops, it's up to you!" The cockles didn't think much of Gusu's words!
"Damn!" Gu Su scolded angrily, turned his head to look at the king, and when he saw the king's expression of indifference, he knew that he could not let the king reverse the king's order, so he immediately shook his sleeves angrily and left the Guang'an Palace.
After Gusu left the Guang'an Palace, he began to gather a large army and rushed to Gaobei City to send war exploits to the soldiers of the Wei army!
"Zheng Guo's army has been mobilized, eighty percent is supporting the Vietnamese army, eight sons, immediately report to the king and the general, I will continue to monitor here!"
"Be careful, I'll go now!"
As soon as Zheng Guo's army moved, he was immediately noticed by the scouts sent out by Wei Li, and immediately stepped up and sent the news back.
One day later!
Wei army barracks, handsome tents!
"It's not a way to go on like this, how much grain and grass does the Vietnamese army have!"
"You can harass, use a strong crossbow, shoot one and count one!"
In the handsome tent, Wei Ya and Gongsun Xin were discussing their next move, and they felt that it was not a way to surround the high cup like this.
"Report!" At this time, there was an urgent report outside the tent!
"Enter!" Wei Li, who was sitting in the handsome seat, immediately snorted softly, and Gongsun Xin also looked outside the account.
As soon as the words fell, a panting scout quickly walked in and knelt down on one knee to make a report: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guo has summoned a large army and is rushing to Gaobei City!" ”
"Oh? Finally a rescue came, how many troops are there? Wei Li asked with a faint smile.
"About three thousand!" Scout respectfully reported.
"Okay, Lone knows, you go down and rest first!" Wei Li waved his hand lightly.
"No!" The scout nodded in response, quickly pushing out the tent.
After the scouts left, Wei Li immediately and decisively ordered Gongsun Xin: "Set up an ambush and kill it!" "Just four words, with strong self-confidence and killing intent!
"No!" Gongsun Xin replied with a solemn expression, and turned to leave the handsome tent.
"Gu Wu, immediately lead the Xuanwei army, go to the barren mountains to set up an ambush, and annihilate the three thousand troops of Zheng State!"
"No!"
With an order, Gu Wu quickly led the Xuanwei army to march south, and the barren mountains, King Chen Huai went to the only official road in Gaobei City, with hills on both sides, which was the best ambush location.
The Xuanwei army dispatched, Wei Li did not sit idle, but ordered Bailihong to shoot arrows at the wall of Gaobei City!
High Cup City, West City Gate!
Six hundred steps outside the West City Gate, 18,000 soldiers are holding ten-stone strong crossbows, and now under the command of Baili Hong, there are no archers, all of them are crossbowmen, and the captured bows and crossbows are all equipped.
"General, the king has an order, order your troops to be divided into four divisions, disperse the southeast, northwest and northwest city gates, and release arrows on the city wall through the cooperation of the short Ge shield soldiers!" A herald walked up to Bailihong and got down on one knee to report.
"General Ben knows!" Bailihong nodded in response!
After a period of time, the 18,000 crossbowmen were divided into four teams, a team of more than 4,000 crossbowmen, distributed in the southeast, northwest and northwest city gates, and the short shield soldiers were also dispersed to cooperate with the crossbowmen.
The shield bearer raises his shield to protect the crossbowmen, and the crossbowmen are under the shield, close to the wall, and shoot at the wall!
"Whew! Shout! Shout! Shout! ”
The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded instantly, hitting the Vietnamese soldiers on the city walls one by one.
"The Wei army has attacked the city, the Wei army has attacked the city!"
"Attention, attention, watch out for crossbow arrows!"
The Vietnamese army in Gaobei City, like a frightened bird, thought that the Wei army was attacking the city, and the four city gates were suddenly in chaos.
"Fight back! Shoot! The Vietnamese generals also ordered the crossbowmen to counterattack, but the effect was negligible, and the crossbow arrows were all fired at the shields of the short Ge shield soldiers, which could not cause any damage to the Wei crossbowmen hiding under the shields.
The casualties gradually came out, and a wave of arrows went down, causing a total of 1,000 battle losses to the Vietnamese army, which made many generals feel distressed!
After about ten waves of crossbow arrows in a row, the Wei army quickly retreated.
"What's going on? The Wei army did not attack the city? ”
"Damn, the Wei army wants to consume our forces with crossbow arrows!"
"Do they have so many arrows?"
The Wei army retreated, and many Vietnamese soldiers and generals began to discuss, which also made many Vietnamese soldiers feel relieved, not to attack the city, just hide better next time.
"General, the arrows are gone!" A crossbowman captain ran to Bailihong's side to report.
"What?" Bailihong frowned, no arrows? Doesn't it mean that the crossbows have become waste!
"All of them are replaced with short shield soldiers, and the strong crossbows are abandoned first!" Bailihong had to give up the crossbow for the time being and replace it with all melee weapons!
Wei Li, who was in the big camp, learned of this and also agreed with Bailihong's approach, otherwise, all the 18,000 crossbowmen would have become unarmed scrap soldiers!
The arrows are consumed, which means that it is impossible to harass the Vietnamese army on the city wall, but it is not bad, this time the crossbow soldiers harassed, so that the Vietnamese army suffered a lot of casualties, and consumed the vitality of the Vietnamese army!
On the city walls!
"Bastard, didn't you say that the Wei army was attacking the city? Where is the Wei army? Meng Mi angrily rebuked a lieutenant!
He slept well, and suddenly someone said that the Wei army was attacking the city, so it was a hurry, and he didn't have time to put on the helmet, so he ran over, but a hairy Wei army didn't see it, only saw that the city wall was full of soldiers who were killed by arrows!
"Will. General.., Wei Jun only.. Just crossbow bolts harass! The reprimanded lieutenant said with a trembling mouth.
"Bastard!" Meng Mi couldn't help but curse angrily, and then asked in a deep voice; "How many dead and wounded?"
The lieutenant cautiously stretched out three fingers and said stiffly; "Three thousand!"
