While the Northern Navy was busy, the Huolin Army in Baixian County was not idle. Today's battle did bring a lot of heavy losses to the Northern Navy, but the Huolin Army itself also lost more than 1,000 people. Among them are more than 100 people from the pro-guard battalion, and these more than 100 people are all soldiers who have followed Zhao Xun for many days.

However, in Bai County, here, and today, they shed their last drop of blood. Some of the corpses of the soldiers are on the city wall, some are still outside the city, although many people were sent to climb the rope to look for it, but it was too chaotic there, the corpses were overlapped, piled up five or six layers, rummaged through many corpse piles, there were still some of the corpses that could not be found, and some were in tatters, and it was difficult to put together a shape, Zhao Xun had no choice but to give up.

That night, the good news that Zhao Xun was relieved and the soldiers defending the city were relieved also came, and the heavy armor battalion and the three thousand heavy battalions also arrived in Baixian City. With a 1,000 heavy armored battalion, Zhao Xun dared to use them as 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers of the former government army. After all, the Qianfu army was still ordinary and young a few days ago, and although it was eliminated from 10,000 to 6,000, it was far inferior to the heavily armored battalion that had been trained for a long time and experienced the battlefield. Not to mention that the soldiers of the heavy armor battalion are tall and strong, stronger than ordinary people, and wear heavy armor. The soldiers of the heavy armored battalion defended the city in situ, which was absolutely impregnable.

Although the 3,000 heavy soldiers were still a long way from the regular army, they were also trained, and some of the petty officers were served by the government sergeants, who could also assist in defending the city, especially the east and west walls. Although there will be no attack from the Northern Navy, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

After arranging the heavy armor battalion and the baggage battalion, Zhao Xun also held a military meeting in the city to sum up the lessons and lessons of today's battle, adjust the establishment of the troops, and scientifically delineate the garrison area. At the same time, more importantly, to replenish the consumed materiel. At the same time, taking advantage of the night, he also sent a large number of Huolin soldiers to sneak into the city, collect all the arrows that could still be used, and then pull them up with ropes to continue to use. I don't know if the Northern Navy is tired after a day of fighting, or because it doesn't care about these things, it doesn't have any reaction to these actions of the Huolin Army.

On the second day, the cold wind howled, but the red sun remained.

North of the city of Baixian.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

A group of Northern Navy non-commissioned officers carried the ladder and pushed the siege tower, and under the swarm of thousands of soldiers, they fiercely attacked the city.

Numerous North Navy sergeants with large shields in their hands guarded the side of the siege procession, defending against the arrows that rained down from the towers.

"Fall ......"

"Pour all the oil down......"

The hoarse roar of the officers sounded at the top of the city, and the pot of boiling oil that had been boiled at the head of the city was carried to the battlements and poured down to the bottom of the city. The shield wall could block the invasion of the rain of arrows, but it could not block the invasion of the fire oil, and the soldiers who gathered under the city and raised their shields were instantly soaked in the hot fire oil, and the city tower suddenly resounded with a continuous howl.

"Shoot the arrows, release the rockets! Burn these rebels and kill them......"

Lin Luo gave an order, and the flaming ground rockets shot down from the city. The flames on the ground on the arrows ignited the fire oil flowing everywhere in an instant, and the entire ground outside the city gate burned to the ground, and the soldiers who had not been scalded to death by the fire oil turned into a raging fire man in an instant.

Today's offensive of the Northern Navy is not at all below yesterday's, but the Huolin Army defending the city today is much easier, because there is a wall of steel standing on the city wall. The soldiers of the heavy battalion were behind the female wall, and they did not care in the slightest about the arrows fired upwards under the cover of the shield men under the wall. As long as there are Beihai sergeants coming forward, they will swing down cleanly, and they don't even need to defend. However, the attack of the non-commissioned officers of the Northern Navy could only stir up shallow marks on the bodies of the soldiers of the heavy armored battalion.

You must know that most of the siege soldiers are scimitars, and in order not to affect the speed of their arrival in the city, they generally do not carry any heavy weapons. But the scimitar against the heavy armor, it was really a natural enemy, so that the Northern Navy sergeants were helpless. For this kind of armor that could not be broken, the non-commissioned officer of the Northern Navy suddenly plummeted. Even if a few brave or nimble people break through to the heavy armor battalion to protect them, the sword and shield soldiers, pikemen and archers of the former government army, which have already been prepared behind them, will be annihilated......

Xu Huang suddenly raised the big axe in his hand and slammed it into the air. The thunderous roar almost shattered the long sky, and even the faint thunder on the edge of the sky was suppressed.

Seeing that the offensive of the Northern Navy in the city was suppressed, Lin Luo felt at ease, and then looked at the dense Northern Navy under the city wall. At Zhao Xun's signal, a new order was immediately issued.

"Archers fight back! Let the Northern Navy, which gathers below, also taste the taste of being suppressed by the rain of arrows. ”

Behind the heavily armored battalion, thousands of archers immediately turned sideways, set up arrows, bent bows, and shot arrows in one go.

'Woo Woo ......'

In the piercing sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, the city was suddenly faced with the sharpness of the arrow rain, and there were soldiers who continued to fall down with wails, but the soldiers next to them did not stop because of this, and ran forward with a face of indignation and helplessness, and continued to climb towards the wall of death that did not know how many soldiers had swallowed.

People born in troubled times are both the most vulnerable and the strongest!

Fragile to the point that human life is like a mustard, and ashes are wiped out in a snap of a finger, but it can be tenacious and indomitable, and treat death as nothing. These are troubled times! Madly, darkly, chaotic times.

In the end, the Northern Navy paid 3,000 casualties and retreated, and the Huolin army defending the city was much better than yesterday, with only more than 100 people killed, most of whom were the former government troops who were shot by the Northern Navy's archers.

…………

At night, Beihai King Chishu was really angry this time, really, he never thought that today's siege effect was not as good as yesterday's, and the defeat was a mess.

"How could a soldier in heavy armor suddenly appear on the opposite wall? Also, according to the besiegers, the armor on their bodies cannot be broken at all, have you encountered it before? Chishu said in a cold voice with a gloomy face.

Heavy armoured soldiers are rarely seen now, and there are almost no zài left. After all, decades ago, the Yan Kingdom rarely fought with the outer frontiers, and even if there were, they were all light armor, and there had never been large-scale heavy armor infantry and heavy armor cavalry, especially the heavy armor cavalry, which was estimated to be no longer found in the Great Yan Kingdom. You know, in peacetime, no country is willing to train such a thankless branch of troops for a long time.

Looking at the eyes and noses of all the people in the big tent, without speaking, Chishu became irritable. It's okay for these people to fight, but let them pay attention, then don't think about it.

"Yang Yunshu! I know that your Yang family used to be from the Yan Kingdom, and you must also know the situation of the Yan Kingdom, but do you know why the armor on these people is so strong? ”

Yang Yunshu said in a deep voice: "Go back to the king!" According to the soldiers, the Huolin soldiers who appeared on the wall of Baixian County today should be heavy infantry. They are all strong men in the army, because the armor on their bodies is made of thick iron sheets, weighing about fifty catties and sixty catties, and even in order to improve the defense, the weight will continue to increase, so it is extremely strong, and it is difficult for ordinary swords and arrows to cause damage to them. At the same time, they were also the nemesis of cavalry, especially light cavalry. ”

"So powerful? Isn't it invincible? No, their shortcomings should be obvious, otherwise the Yan Kingdom would have equipped them a long time ago. Beihai King Chishu said immediately.

Yang Yunshu nodded and said, "What the king said is very true, everything is imperfect. The more obvious the advantages, the more obvious the disadvantages. One of the biggest drawbacks is that this kind of heavy armor is very heavy, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to bear it, let alone fight. Only those Hercules could wear them, and even then, they would not last long, and besides, their march speed on the battlefield would be greatly reduced. If it's a field war, as long as it's not a head-on hedge, and it's not at all at war, they can't help us. Also, because this armor is expensive, most people are reluctant to spend such a large price to make this kind of armor. ”

"Field?" The Beihai King's face was a little ugly, if he could fight in the field, what else would he do to attack the city?

"What about today's casualties?"

"Back to the king's words! The Left Route Army, which had replenished 3,000 soldiers from the Chinese Army, suffered more than 1,500 casualties today, and the Right Route Army suffered 1,000 casualties today. The officer in charge of statistics immediately replied.

This person said, and immediately let the big tent breathe, no one expected, just a few days of siege of the city, the loss of nearly 10,000 foot soldiers, although these foot soldiers are not treated by the king, but how can they also be soldiers. Just say no, it's gone......

When Yang Yunshu heard this, he felt distressed for a while, these soldiers were all warriors of the Bolu Department, and because they were not on the right path with Chishu, they were sent to death by her. At this moment, Yang Yunshu had a thought in his heart to stay away from the Bo Du Department and away from the North Sea King Red Art, and this thought swelled up all of a sudden.

Rather than waiting for his own people to be eradicated one by one by the mad guy of Beihai King Chishu, it is better to preserve the business of these families and leave a fire for the family, which cannot be extinguished in our hands. Perhaps, it is not right for the ancestors to leave the Yan Kingdom and enter the Yan tribes. We are Han Chinese, how can we be well integrated with the Yan people? Looking at the few young "thousand generals" with the three surnames around him, Yang Yunshu thought secretly. Coincidentally, when I looked sideways, I also saw the strange eyes of Liu Jian and Zhang Jinqiao. The three of them met their eyes for a moment, and then staggered, but they all saw something wrong in each other's eyes.

"What do you think of the situation at hand?" Chishu said lightly.

Gao Yan, commander of the right army of the foot soldiers, came out and said: "Back to the king, the last general thinks that yesterday and today's siege of the city, we were strictly blocked, and the morale of the army plummeted, which is not conducive to tomorrow's siege, in addition, the wounded in the army are very right, and it has also had a great impact on morale." Therefore, is it possible to rest for a few days and let the soldiers relax? ”

Chishu stared at Gao Yan for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's rest for three days for the time being, all battalions will be strictly guarded, and don't let the Huolin Army in Bai County take advantage of the loophole." In addition, the death slave camp stepped up the manufacture of equipment, a large number of siege equipment. Three days later, we continued our attack. ”

Unlike the tense and sullen atmosphere of the Northern Navy Battalion, Baixian was jubilant, and after properly arranging the wounded and some matters of defending the city, he also summed up the combat experience of today, especially the situation after the heavy armored battalion joined. Strive for a more perfect coordination and better kill the enemy......

"Today we have won, and we will continue to win tomorrow, until the Northern Navy is driven out of the territory of Yanzhou Mansion, so that they will no longer dare to underestimate us, let them know that the Huolin Army is not easy to touch, and the final victory will definitely belong to us!" Because there were tens of thousands of Northern Navy outside the city, everyone didn't dare to drink, so they used water and tea instead of the celebration banquet......
