Chapter 123: Difficulty
Dongou naturally knows that after so many years of fighting with Dongou , Dongou 's combat effectiveness is obviously much lower than theirs, but every time Dongou people can always rely on natural danger to keep Minyue out of the country, in the past hundreds of years, this pass, the ancestors of Dongou have also come several times, and Dongou has always believed that what the ancestors can't do will be completely in his hands.
But obviously, in this war, his performance was far inferior to that of his ancestors. I have never heard of the loss of 10,000 people when attacking this pass, but the walls have not even been touched, and ...... The other side hasn't even killed or injured a single person!
Such a record is simply a humiliation of the name of the ancestors! Glancing murderously at Gou Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, he said in a cold voice that could drip water: "Waste! A bunch of rubbish! He held the long sword in his hand tightly, and he wanted to pull it out and split the eagle in half!
The widow has already mobilized all the archers for you, why can't you win, you wretched? The elite of the three thousand tribes can't capture a pass guarded by only a thousand people, and it's also the Dongou army! Su Shao made up the lines in his heart, and almost shouted out the words in his heart.
But Su Shao actually knows that it is definitely not Gou Ying who just can't work, more than 3,000 people, and in less than an hour, he lost more than 700 people, so he had to retreat. The warriors of the Gouhu and Gouying Brothers tribe have lost more than 4,000 people in the canyon so far, and they have been greatly injured. As the king of Minyue, he naturally did not want a tribe that supported him to go to complete decay.
"Meng Shui, you lead two thousand rattan armor warriors to attack the city! If you can't win, you don't have to come back! "Su Shao is now ready to fly, he has to send it, he has killed and injured so many soldiers, but he returned in vain, and when he returned to Dongye, the patriarchs of those tribes did not rebel. He desperately needed a victory to consolidate his dynastic rule. Li Zuoche next to him looked sad, shook his head and sighed gently.
Now that the Minyue army has lost more than half of its strength and its strength has been greatly reduced, even if it breaks through the Eagle Sorrow Stream, what can it do? How could the Minyue Army, which had suffered heavy losses, be the opponent of the Qin army? Great King, Great King, your enemy is not Dongou but Qin! But Li Zuoche also understands that Su Shao is already like a gambler with red eyes, with his violent character, if he insists on opposing his opinion, I am afraid that this life will be in this place.
"Sure enough, it's a barbarian state, you can't live for a long time!" Li Zuoche said secretly in his heart, thinking about how to leave Minyue and seek another way of development.
Two thousand rattan warriors were burned to death by the fire, and only three thousand of his elite troops remained, and now another two thousand were sent, if they were defeated again...... Then he really wants to cry without tears. Over the years, he has conquered the east and west, and his rule has expanded a lot, and even vaguely expanded his influence to the Lingnan side. However, the reason why the army of the Minyue Dynasty was invincible was that it relied on his rattan warriors as the cornerstone and built on the basis of the invincibility of the rattan warriors. Once the cornerstone is destroyed, then his reign will come to an end.
The greatest danger is coming.
"Next, it should be Minyue's vine armor soldier with the strongest combat effectiveness." Chen Sheng took out the water bladder and took a sip into his mouth.
Hu Bugui nodded solemnly and said, "The rattan armor is tough, and the bow and crossbow are difficult to have strong lethality. After being scared of the fire, they should get the rattan armor wet before launching an attack, so next, it will definitely be a tough battle. ”
Chen Sheng frowned slightly and said, "How long have we been holding out?" ”
Hu Bugui looked at the funnel on the side and said, "It's been more than an hour and a half." ”
Chen Sheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Can we hold out until the reinforcements arrive?" ”
Hu Bugui said confidently: "This is natural. Although the 1,000 Dongou warriors who stayed here are relatively weak in combat, but the successive victories have also inspired their fighting spirit, you should also know that the barbarians are very bloody, once the blood on their bodies is stimulated, then the battle is easy to fight, in addition, we are in a defensive position, which also provides us with great convenience, just using the rolling wood and stones stacked on the city wall, at least we can hold out for most of the hour. ”
Chen Sheng nodded thoughtfully, and said: "The design of Yingchou Village is also special, the city wall facing the pass is very strong, but the city wall facing the Dongou land is usually tight, and some places are still fenced with wood, the purpose is that even if the enemy can capture this pass, he cannot defend it according to the danger." Draw out dozens of soldiers and tear down the fence! ”
Hu Bugui understood in his heart, Chen Sheng's idea was very good, he demolished the walled city, leaving the wall facing the valley, even if the enemy captured this place, as long as the reinforcements arrived, they could kill a horse gun, and they could fight back against the enemy in an instant, after thinking about it, Hu Bugui also said: "Then collect the pot for the whole army to cook and boil the water!" ”
Only the centurions who accepted the order Dongou did not understand the intention, but looking at Hu Bugui's murderous eyes, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took fifty reserve soldiers to tear down the wooden fence. The centurion in charge of boiling the water was filled with a chill in his heart, and he had already imagined what kind of tragic situation it would be when the boiling water was poured on people......
"They're coming!" In the dark night, the valley was filled with blood, and the light of torches once again illuminated the valley. Chen Sheng looked at the cautious, black pressure shield forming a long snake phalanx vine armor warrior, and smiled indifferently in his heart.
It is true that the rattan armor warriors are an elite army in the land of Ouyue. But the elite also depends on the strength of the opponent. The Minyue army has been fighting against the indigenous Yue people in the mountains for many years, and the opponent does not even have decent weapons, so it is naturally very convenient to fight.
"Archer prepare!" Hu Bugui is calm. The bow and crossbow of the Qin army can penetrate even the thin part of the iron armor, can this rattan armor be compared to the iron armor? "Aim well before launching, pick a weak defense to launch, and try to make sure that the arrow is not missing!" Hu Bugui's voice was very cold. In this world, the only thing that cannot be penetrated by the Qin army's bow and crossbow is the heavy armor of the Great Qin Empire's Praetorian Guard. No matter how powerful the rattan armor is, it is impossible to be harder and indestructible than the heavy armor.
Before leaving, the Minyue soldiers did not expect to fight a tough battle, so the siege equipment was seriously insufficient, and Gou Ying had already charged once before, and lost a lot of artifacts such as ladders that were not much.
