Chapter 352: Attack and Defense of Guiyu City (2)
As an ancient civilization, the dinosaur people, like the humans of another world, survived in today's countries, all of which were fought out of the war of blood and fire, and the experience of war was much richer than that of the young Xia people.
In the face of a hard-fought attack on the fortified city, it was actually the next resort, and after the first attack failed, the dinosaur people immediately gave up this method.
The commander of the dinosaur people, the Ningling soldiers, began to dig tunnels in the direction of Guiyu City under the cover of the terrain, and sent several teams to scatter along the direction of Guiyu City, according to the experience of the dinosaur people, there will definitely be some villages or small cities near this kind of big city, attacking this kind of small city, on the one hand, you can loot food, and those living or dead humans can be of some use for attacking the city.
The dinosaur people did not attack, and the soldiers defending the city naturally did not dare to go out of the city to fight, in yesterday's defense, Shi Zhao and the others had realized that the human being was not the opponent of the dinosaur people at all, even if it was an ordinary soldier of the enemy, it would take two or three people to kill, and in the case of no advantage in numbers, going out of the city to fight was to send them to death.
Although they knew that the enemy must have some kind of conspiracy, the two of them could only stay in the city to cope with all changes.
A team of 1,000 dinosaurs searched all the way along the road built by humans and finally found a human village.
Looking at the small village in front of him, the officer of the dinosaur man showed his sharp teeth and howled a few times at his subordinates, not knowing what to say, after hearing this, these dinosaur soldiers were immediately as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, waving their weapons and shouting loudly.
The dinosaur people did not rush to attack the small city, and after ordering the soldiers to build some ladders that were easy to climb, after repairing for a day, an army of more than 1,000 people suddenly appeared near the small village.
The sentinels defending on the arrow tower saw the sudden appearance of the enemy, and their faces turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly sounded the alarm.
The sound of the "Dangdang" bell suddenly broke the quiet life of the village.
"The enemy is coming!" The sentry shouted hoarsely.
The militia in the village, under the leadership of the village chief, immediately climbed up the wall and looked at the dense enemy not far away, and was immediately shocked.
There were only more than 20 militia members in the village, and in the face of so many enemies outside the village, a sense of powerlessness suddenly came to my heart.
"Quick, notify all the villagers, grab your weapons, and go to the wall to defend." The village chief hurriedly said.
Most of the people in the village were old and weak, women and children, who were already panicked, trembling their hands, and followed the soldiers to the top of the wall with their weapons.
With a wave of his hand, the dinosaur general immediately attacked.
"Whoosh!"
The human arrows shot weakly into the formation, causing no damage.
The dinosaur people were shocked when they saw this, the first few times they fought with humans, they suffered heavy casualties, and the kind of weapons that humans can make loud noises are still a nightmare in their hearts.
There are only a few archers in this small village, and they are not worth mentioning at all, and the short body of human beings, as long as they are approached by themselves, they will only be slaughtered by themselves.
The soldiers carrying the ladder rushed down the village wall, and the ditch at the top of the ladder was deeply stuck in the rammed earth wall.
The militiamen could only shoot with their bows and arrows at the enemies who were climbing towards the wall.
The old and weak women and children were already trembling with fear at this moment, and they could not resist effectively at all.
The dinosaur people soon climbed the wall,
The one-sided slaughter began.
In front of the murderous dinosaur people, these people had no power to fight back at all, and a large number of corpses fell in the blink of an eye.
Under the leadership of the village chief, the militia put up a desperate resistance, but the enemy was outnumbered, and soon the only armed force in the village was wiped out by the dinosaurs.
The village was breached so quickly, which suddenly shocked the dinosaur people, the village gate was opened, and a large number of dinosaur soldiers swarmed in, beating the villagers running around to the ground, and more enemies began to search the village, moving everything of value out, and those exquisite ornaments and coins made by humans supported the trophies that the dinosaur people showed off to their companions.
These things will definitely sell for a good price when they are taken back to the Old World.
The dinosaur generals ignored the robbing of the soldiers, and the celebrities took care of the surviving humans and walked towards the granary in the village.
When the granary was opened and saw the mountains of grain inside, the dinosaur generals were shocked, this small village actually stored such food, although they had never seen such things as corn and sorghum, but potatoes were common things in the Old World.
With so much food, the general's eyes lit up, and the wealth of mankind greatly exceeded his expectations, and attacking such a small city could have such a harvest, if he defeated that big city, his heart couldn't help but burn when he thought of this.
The same thing happened in the rest of the villages, in the face of the attack of the dinosaurs, after breaking through seven or eight villages, the rest of the villages that learned the news evacuated to the south with the villagers overnight.
Chen Bai, the village head of Guiyu Third Village, also led the villagers to join the fleeing crowd.
The dinosaur people who tasted the sweetness were naturally unwilling in the face of the empty village, and desperately chased the fleeing humans along the road.
But when they saw the escaped humans enter the human city, they had to stop chasing, although those small cities are not as big as the city in the north, but with such a small number of manpower, it is absolutely impossible to attack them.
When returning to the camp with the looted supplies, the commander of the dinosaur people was very surprised, the raiding team only went out for a few days, and they could have such a huge harvest, with the replenishment of these grains, the army had no worries about food for the time being.
There were seven or eight white people in seven or eight villages, most of them were old and weak women and children, these people were watched after by the dinosaur people, and those dead humans were also brought back by them, and the weather in March had begun to get hot, and the corpses had begun to show signs of decay for so many days, and there was a foul smell from the place where the corpses had been piled up.
After the dinosaurs gathered their army, they prepared for a new round of siege.
After so many days of excavation, the tunnel is about to reach the human city, as long as the tunnel is dug through, the warriors can directly enter the city.
Three days later, before the morning fog had lifted, the dinosaur camp's horn sounded with a whining horn.
After more than ten days of excavation, as for the excavation into the interior of the human city, as long as the attack starts, it can be opened immediately.
Shi Zhao and the others nervously looked at the enemy advancing towards the city, the news of the surrounding villages, had passed the reconnaissance of the dragoons, and the two of them already knew what happened, although they were very angry, but for the safety of the city, they could only suppress the anger in their hearts.
"General, look over there!" A soldier shouted.
When Zhao Jian heard this, he hurriedly pointed his telescope over there, only to see hundreds of humans with their hands tied, like livestock being driven slowly by dinosaur people towards this side.
"Damn monsters, they actually use humans as shields." Zhao Jian gritted his teeth and said.
"General, what should we do, those are the people of our Xia Kingdom." An officer said in a panic.
Zhao Jian had a gloomy face, he didn't know what to do at this time, those people were likely to be the soldiers' families, if they ordered an attack, it would greatly affect morale, which was extremely detrimental to defense.
But if you don't attack, let the dinosaurs drive the humans to the city, then the situation is even more dangerous.
Picked up the binoculars and looked in that direction, only to see a few humans, as if they knew their role, they immediately struggled violently, and ran away first, but the dinosaur people could give them a chance, and after grabbing these people, they dragged these people out, and made them kneel down facing Guiyucheng, and cut off their heads with a knife.
Several dinosaur people picked up the heads of these people and threw them vigorously in the direction of Guiyu City, and more than a dozen heads fell heavily to the ground, rolling on the ground like leather balls.
When the soldiers defending the city saw this scene, their eyes immediately split.
Zhao Jian's whole body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't destroy this thief, I, Zhao Jian, will be a human in vain." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the soldier beside him and knelt down on his knees.
When the officer on the side saw this, he was shocked and said, "General, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhao Jian opened the hand of the officer who came to support, kowtowed heavily to the soldier and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that there may be your family among those people, but if the enemy breaks through Guiyu City, how can the people in the city survive, I, Zhao Jian, can't stand you." ”
"General!"
The soldiers' eyes were red when they heard this, and they knelt on one knee.
Zhao Jian endured the grief in his heart, turned around to the human beings who were driven away, kowtowed, and shouted: "I, Zhao Jian, can't stand you, I have no face to see you after death, go all the way!" ”
The soldiers also shouted with red eyes: "Clansmen, I can't wait for you, go all the way!" ”
The shouts of 10,000 people in unison spread far away, and when the captured humans heard this, they immediately understood what these soldiers meant.
"Mother, what are they shouting again, why don't they come to save us, I'm afraid!" A child watched his mother cry and whimper.
The woman said with tears in her eyes: "Lin, don't be afraid, go to heaven with your mother, there is no pain there." ”
The child nodded blankly.
The dinosaur people didn't know what the humans were shouting again, but when they saw that the captives were no longer moving forward, their faces suddenly changed, and in horror, they swung their leather whips and slapped a human old man hard.
The old man gritted his teeth and said nothing, his eyes fixed on the dinosaur man with hatred.
This look made the dinosaur man a little frightened, and in a fit of rage, he killed the disrespectful human with a single sword.
With the death of the old man, these human beings, who knew that they were going to die, suddenly exploded.
Even with their hands tied, they howled and rushed towards the dinosaur people behind them.
But in the face of the enemy who had been prepared and armed for a long time, these unarmed humans were mercilessly killed in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Jian's eyes were red, and he yelled: "Artilleryman, hit me, hit me hard!" ”
Seeing their own people killed like livestock, the soldiers were furious, and the artillerymen lit the fuse with hatred.
Artillery roared, dozens of shells whizzed towards the enemy's formations.
The shells passed through the military formation, making bloody paths.
Seeing this, the dinosaur people hurriedly retreated, away from the range of the artillery.
After so many days, the dinosaur people came up with a way to defend against this weapon against humans.
After the soldiers retreated, several stone-throwing machines wrapped in sandbags were pushed out by Slowly.
The artillery redirected and slammed into the corpses.
But unless the shell directly hits the high shelf of the stone thrower, it will not play much role at all, and the sandbags play a great role in buffering, although it is inevitable that there will still be casualties, but it must have been much lower than before.
Seeing this, Zhao Jian's face became gloomy, and he continued to order the artillery to attack those stone throwers.
After losing several catapults, the enemy finally transported the catapults to the location.
Instead of firing those fireballs, these corpse throwers threw the rotting human corpses in the stone thrower launcher in the direction of Guiyu City.
A large number of corpses rained down.
The people in the city immediately panicked, and the corpses that fell to the ground and fell into a bloody blur of flesh emitted a foul smell and were scattered in all corners of the city.
The doctor in the city immediately understood the enemy's intentions, and hurriedly explained to the prefect the seriousness of the matter, these rotting corpses are easy to spread diseases, if they are not cleaned up, with the medical means of naturalization, the people who do not need the enemy to attack the whole city will have to worry about their lives.
The prefect understood the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly organized people to clean up the corpses in the city, but the number of corpses thrown in by the enemy was too large to be cleaned up for a while.
The corpses that had been gathered up were poured with oil and began to be burned, and the stench of the corpses emanated from the city was poured.
Under the bombardment of artillery, the dinosaur people threw all the human corpses into the city.
Those dinosaur people didn't even bother with the stone throwers, they pulled their legs and ran backwards, the power of the artillery was not at all what flesh and blood could resist, and they had already paid the price of hundreds of dead and wounded in order to throw these corpses.
A whining horn sounded, and the dinosaurs receded like a tidal wave, their dead companions had been carried back, leaving only the human corpses lying in pools of blood on the battlefield.
Dinosaur people are not in a hurry to attack after completing the task, so many corpses, it is not easy to clean up, as long as a few people are infected with the plague, it will soon spread, and they just need to wait quietly for the results.
But what they didn't know was that in the stone where they wanted to make humans infected with the plague and give up resistance, in their barracks, several dinosaur soldiers began to develop a high fever and red spots appeared on their bodies, but this did not attract the attention of the dinosaur higher-ups.
It took two days to clean up the bodies that were thrown in, and under the guidance of the doctors, the soldiers who carried the bodies wore masks, washed their hands with alcohol, and burned all the clothes on their bodies.
The doctors used all the means they could think of, and all that was left was to pray to the gods.
