Chapter 116: Slave soldiers fill the city

In a real war, there will be no scene described in the TV series where the main general is single-handedly decided to win or lose the war. Unless the main general is at the level of Xiang Yu, it is impossible to do such a stupid thing as fighting alone. War is never decided by one or two heads-up. Although the Saigo Army won the pre-war heads-up, the hard power of the two sides did not change. The allied forces still have a lot of advantages. In the face of the coalition army of more than 6,000 people, the situation of the Xixiang Army is still worrying.

Early the next morning, the army of more than 1,000 Hu people made a comeback under the leadership of the various tribes (i.e., leaders) headed by Shesu. Although due to yesterday's heads-up, the morale of the allied forces is not very high. But now they can't control so much.

In fact, yesterday's single-handedly defeat before the war not only did not weaken the will of the ministers, but on the contrary united them even more. After yesterday's first contact, these adults already knew that the Zhao people were definitely not a simple Zhao people's force. And judging from the magnificent and well-equipped support force sent by the Zhao people yesterday and the demon who single-handedly killed their eleven fierce generals. These adults have already understood the horror of the Zhao people. In their opinion, these Wandering Zhao people definitely had the strength to destroy any of them alone. If these Zhao people are left unattended, their tribe will be seriously threatened.

After a half-night discussion, the ministers reached a preliminary consensus. That is, no matter what the price is, it is necessary to completely destroy this Zhao Dog who has left the moment. Otherwise, they will definitely not have a good life in the future.

After listening to the report that the coalition forces were in place, Shesu ordered to the attendants next to him: "Start attacking!" ”

After receiving the order, the attendant immediately rushed forward.

……

"Knock knock!" In the midst of a war drum. A man with yellow teeth and a very fierce beard danced the long knife in his hand and shouted: "Spread the order of the alliance leader, the first echelon attack!" Those who advance live, and those who retreat die. The Overseer team stepped forward! ”

Under the orders of the Yellow Tooth Hu people, more than 500 chaotic slave soldiers in the first echelon and a small number of Hu people who were middle and low-level commanders slowly attacked the eastern camp. The equipment of these slaves was very rudimentary. Most of them are unarmed, and as the first echelon, their main tasks are to fill trenches, test traps, break wildebeests, and test the strength of defenses. There is no need to start a battle in the city. It's authentic cannon fodder. There is no morale at all. And in order to prevent them from being lazy and escaping, Shesu also sent a team of supervisors to follow behind. Once you find a slacker, kill them on the spot. Of course! The way of dog training with bones in one hand and a big stick in the other, Shesu still understands. Shesu ordered more than a dozen pots of mutton to be boiled in the military formation. It is used to reward slaves for their positive behavior.

……

looked at the messy Hu slave soldiers who didn't cooperate at all. Liu Ye couldn't raise the slightest interest. Dealing with this kind of cannon fodder is very boring, and Liu Ye has no interest in it. After throwing the command to Liu Wu on the side, Liu Ye yawned and went back to catch up on sleep. Last night, he spent half a night ruthlessly cleaning up a certain goblin who didn't obey military orders, and now Liu Ye is very, very sleepy.

"Bed Crossbow Attack!" Liu Wu, who took over the command, ordered excitedly. The first to attack was definitely the longest-range bed crossbow team.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Hurry up and pull the crossbow string for Lao Tzu. After receiving the order, the captain of the bed crossbow yelled.

After hearing the order of the captain of the bed crossbow, more than forty or fifty auxiliary soldiers used their strength to winch the winch, pulled the crossbow string apart, and hung it on the teeth.

"Each bed crossbow is quickly loaded with arrows, and the shooter aims at the middle of the dense area of dogs." The Bed Crossbow Captain then ordered.

The shooters of the bed crossbow unit are trained professionals. After a while, the direction and angle of the shot were adjusted.

"Volley!" Looking at the bed crossbows that had been prepared, the bed crossbow captain shouted and ordered.

After receiving the order, the attacker immediately used all his strength to hit the trigger with a giant hammer. Eight short spear-like bed crossbow arrows flew out at once.

The powerful bed crossbow can be shot through even the most defensive armor riders of this period. What's more, these Hu slave soldiers, who are only partially equipped with simple wooden shields, and the rest have no armor. These bed crossbow arrows that were shot out suddenly set off a bloody storm among the Hu people's slave soldiers. If you are shot, you will die. Some of the bed crossbow arrows even pierced through four or five Hu slave soldiers in succession.

"The bed crossbows stopped attacking, and the archers fired freely in teams. The trebuchet begins to attack with gravel. After firing two waves of the bed crossbow, Liu Wu ordered. At this time, these Hu slave soldiers ran not far from the wall, and they were no longer within the strongest range of the bed crossbow. As a result, the lethality of the bed crossbow has been greatly reduced, and there is no need to continue using the bed crossbow. After all, bed crossbow strings are very precious and can be easily damaged if they are used too many times.

In addition to placing eight bed crossbows on the wall, Liu Ye also assembled four trebuchets. Truth be told, the range of this trebuchet is too close to be of much use. But it can shoot gravel, which is a huge threat to these unarmored Hu slave soldiers under the wall. Although it is impossible to kill people at once, it can cause great trouble to these Hu slave soldiers who fill trenches and step on traps.

……

"Put!" The commander of a trebuchet shouted. Immediately afterward, dozens of fist-sized pieces of rubble flew out. A skinny Hu slave soldier was about to fill the trench with a sack full of dirt when he was unfortunately hit in the head by a piece of rubble. Blood splattered out immediately, and the thin slave let go of the sack and slowly poured it down.

……

"Team A's short archers listen to a certain order, target No. 5 gap, more than 60 steps to the southeast, shoot four light arrows in a row, shoot and attack, release!" Seeing that a large number of Hu slave soldiers were gathered at the gap in the fifth gap of the Antlers Horse, the captain who commanded the battle of the short archers of Team A took this opportunity to immediately order.

Saigo's short archers have undergone rigorous archer training and are very familiar with archery. In an instant, dozens of light arrows flew over at once. Not only did these Huren slave soldiers lack equipment, but they also did not receive decent military training, let alone put on a tortoiseshell defense arrow formation like the Xixiang army. Faced with the attack of Saigo's archers, even if only light arrows were used. The Hu slave soldiers gathered at the fifth gap were still suffering heavy casualties.

……

With a "snap", a running slave soldier didn't notice that the small pit dug by the Xixiang Army under his feet was directly tripped and fell to the ground. And unluckily, he broke his foot and was not able to get up immediately. To add insult to injury, he was followed by a large group of slave soldiers. So the slave soldier was trampled to death in great sorrow.

……

There is no right or wrong on the battlefield, only the strong and the weak, and the weak will not escape the fate of being killed. The fight continues, no! It should be said that the massacre continues. Every moment there are Hu slave soldiers falling. The group of Hu slave soldiers under the camp are just cannon fodder responsible for filling trenches and stepping on traps. There were no means of counterattack at all, and there were no siege equipment and cover from archers. They can only pave the way for the advance of the coalition forces with blood.

Finally, under the powerful offensive of the Xixiang Army, there was no morale at all, and the Hu slave soldiers, who had already killed and wounded more than 100 people, were afraid. They scrambled to run back. However, they then encountered the Hu Ren Du clan. These Hu Ren Warlords don't treat these slaves as human beings at all. Without saying a word, he directly took the weapon and slashed it wantonly. After a while, the slaves left behind more than twenty corpses and were driven back to continue their cannon fodder mission.
