Chapter 149: The Rotten Ship Is Still Fighting for the Ferry (2)

The color of the walls is different from the upper half of the wall from the ground to the chest-length area.

As long as you have a little understanding of the construction of buildings, you can see at a glance that this small city is built on the basis of the old city.

Zhang Wei looked at the enemy troops in the distance, and on the wall next to him, there was a circle of hideous-looking heads.

This is not the beheading of the enemy, but the captives who dare to make trouble in the city, the severed head, he knows how important the small city he is guarding is, and the most important thing is that the reputation of the Zhang family cannot be lost in his hands.

Jiang Bin and Zong Pre joined forces to lead a raid on Xiangyang City, beheading a lot of them, and taking more prisoners, under normal circumstances, the captives would be released and left to fend for themselves.

However, at this time, the army had not yet arrived, and the occupied city was still unstable, and these captives Jiang Bin only had time to transfer the first batch, and before the Wu people attacked, Zhang Wei spent a day to recruit hundreds of people from them.

When the Wu soldiers suddenly came and killed outside the city, Zhang Wei, who only had time to close the city gate, did not dare to leave these prisoners in the city, otherwise he would be stabbed in the back when the fight was in full swing, but it would make people die without seeing their eyes.

At that time, a group of captives who wanted to take advantage of the panic in the city to uncover the rod echo were killed by Zhang Wei casually, and all the heads were hung on the city wall.

Although Zhang Wei did this, he would definitely be punished after the war, but he didn't care now, as long as he guarded the city and waited for the post-war resumption, the trivial things of capturing were nothing, and he would talk about other things while keeping the city in front of him.

Gently knocking on the wall pheasant, what came into my nose was the stench of the first level beginning to rot. It's just that after smelling it for a long time, Zhang Wei easily ignored this disgusting smell.

There are a lot of things that give him a headache now, although I don't know when the reinforcements will come, but the food is still enough to support a while, and Fancheng is built by the river, and there are many wells in the city, so there is no need to worry about the water source, and the most headache for Zhang Wei is that he has not many arrows in his hands.

The Han army takes the bow and crossbow as the top, and the most commonly used means of fighting the enemy is to fire ten thousand arrows at once, and the enemy will shoot into a group of hedgehogs in the future, and an arrow from the arrow cluster, the arrow shaft and then the arrow feather, according to the market price, basically five copper coins, but the military procurement price is cheap, only two copper coins to three copper coins.

And a formation on the battlefield can shoot all the arrows worth 10,000 yuan, such as the Three Kingdoms today, and only the gradually wealthy Han can make the soldiers shoot desperately as if they don't need money when they are fighting, even if the Wu and Wei people go into battle, they have to save some money, not to mention those barbarians.

This is the purpose of the Han army, so in the past two years, the Han army has trained the second, and the most important thing is to accumulate ordnance, and the ordnance of each army is very rich!

It was because of the habit of developing a habit, and there was no intention of staying in Fancheng for a long time at the beginning, so there were not many arrows that he originally carried with him, and most of them were shot at the end of the day.

Now the defenders of the city can maintain their morale because they are not injured much, but if they are without bows and arrows, they are rushed to the head of the city and fight face to face, it is difficult to say.

Another horn interrupted Zhang Wei's train of thought, and when he looked up at the enemy army in the distance, he casually pulled the longbow in his palm, and then, it was time for it to appear.

As soon as the wrench finger pulled the bowstring, he only heard a soft snap, the bow arm of the longbow straightened, and the broken string was drawn on Zhang Wei's face, and a thin line of blood flowed down his cheek.

Zhang Wei's face twitched, spit, and threw the broken bow at his feet, this bow was used continuously, and now it finally can't be supported, this is also another bow he used today, the original carefully maintained high-grade hard bow has basically been destroyed, and the standard hard bow in the army now is used, although the quality is guaranteed, but in his hands, the beads are generally used, and it is naturally easy to be damaged.

"Bring the bow!" Receiving the longbow handed over by his guards, Zhang Wei turned his wrist, he could open the bow left and right, one arm was tired, so he changed to the other arm, plus he only shot accurately and quickly, not strength, although he shot a lot today, he didn't hurt his arm.

Originally, according to Zhang Yi's meaning, he was asked to be a civil official, and the scholars at this time were still able to write and martial arts, but after he accepted the martial soul of the Han Dynasty, he could only take the martial arts, otherwise it would be a pity, besides, in the new Han system, the title must be taken immediately.

"It's no problem to shoot a few hundred arrows today." Zhang Wei thought so in his heart, while moving his wrist, he stared at the enemy formation opposite, this time he would add hundreds of achievements to himself, but his hand suddenly stopped, the enemy troops who came out this time were not hundreds or thousands, but only dozens of people.

The people who came got closer and closer, Zhang Wei's face was a little gloomy, dozens of people, there were more than a dozen people who were tied with their hands behind their backs, they were not Wu people, but Han people, to be precise, the defeated and captured Han army and the Han merchants in Wu land, they were tied to the front of the formation, sixty steps away from the city wall, and were forced to kneel in a row, that is a position that is difficult for arrows to reach, even if an ordinary war bow with more than one stone can shoot sixty steps away, there will not be much strength left.

On the city wall, thousands of eyes stared at the movements of these dozens of people, not knowing whether they wanted to persuade them to surrender or behead Liwei.

And Zhang Wei's face suddenly turned pale at this time, as the first batch of officers from the officer battalion that year, he still directly became the position of the military candidate with the first place, Zhang Wei knew that there was pride on the battlefield, but there were also despicable things.

Now this scene made his eyes split.

"Zhang Chuang!" Zhang Wei shouted, "Take your people to the city to prepare!" Hear my order, go out of the city to save people! ”

A stout man, bowed in obedience, turned and went down the city, his general, his personal guard, commanding the only group of horse archers under his command.

After giving an order to the most elite cavalry battalion under his command, Zhang Wei stretched out his right hand back, "Bring the bow!" ”

His own soldiers were stunned together, wasn't Zhang Wei carrying a bow in his left hand?

Zhang Wei glared back, and threw away the war bow in his left hand, "Why don't you get enough weight of the hard bow yet!" The voice was even more impatient, and the anger that could not be concealed was already on the verge of exploding.

The pro-soldiers who reacted in time were in a hurry, and hurriedly found a hard bow with a head of two stones, Zhang Wei tried his hand, then threw his hand on the ground, and shouted angrily like thunder: "Isn't there a stronger one?!" ”

The surrounding soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, they are all helpless, if it is in Hanzhong, then a strong bow with a strength of three stones can also be turned out of the arsenal, but at the moment, it is already rare to have a hard bow with two stones, and it can only be searched from the city one by one.

was glaring angrily at his own soldiers, suddenly a scream came from behind him, Zhang Wei turned around sharply, only to see a Wu soldier holding a bloody arm dangling in his hand, and a Han man kneeling on the ground in front of him had rolled to the ground, one arm was gone, blood flowed to the ground, and when he rolled out of strength, another person stepped forward, stepped on his back, and cut off the remaining arms and legs together.

Zhang Wei clenched his teeth tightly, the muscles on his cheeks were stiff, and the sound of broken molars could almost be heard in his ears. Dream Literature Network

Zhang Wei knew that this was a deterrent to him, Wu Ren was despicable, of course he knew that he had learned to deal with it in class, but when he really saw this scene, he knew how unbearable it was!

The defenders at the head of the city watched the Wu people under the city triumphantly slaughtering their compatriots, and they all felt the same way, and none of them could bear it, and they all looked at Zhang Wei.

"General! Sima Zhang is ready. A pro-soldier came over and reminded.

Zhang Wei raised his hand and wanted to order the cavalry prepared at the city gate to go out of the city to rescue, but he knew that at this time, in the enemy's array, there must be an ambush, and the one who went out of the city must also be sent to death.

can clearly perceive that there are some subtle movements in the enemy's camp that are difficult to detect, so that his hand is raised in mid-air, and the word "out of the city" is also stuck in his throat, and he can't wave it or say it.

Thinking of the earnest teachings in the course, combined with the facts in front of him, he stared at the enemy's military strength fiercely, and in the meantime, another person had his limbs cut off, and the screams spread throughout the battlefield.

Many people waited anxiously for Zhang Wei's order, but he finally took back his raised right hand.

He can't take risks, obvious traps he can't step into. However, Zhang Wei now understands very well that if he continues to let the Wu people continue to perform in front of the battlefield, it will be too much of a blow to the morale of the soldiers under his command, and his prestige will plummet.

He clenched his fists tightly and shouted, "Where is the strong bow you found?" ”

Zhang Wei asked earnestly, he must contain the arrogant enemy, and at this time he also made up his mind, if he defeated the Wu State and commanded the general of the Wu State in this battle, he would definitely destroy him!

Soon, a pro-soldier came up in a hurry, and there was really no heavy bow!

"The crossbow team is coming!"

The development of crossbows is also an important success of the Ministry of Industry of the Han Dynasty, from the small crossbow used by the cavalry, the strong crossbow used by the infantry army, all have their own development, Zhang Wei has a strong crossbow team in his hands has not been used, although his order, a team of people came up, all carrying a heavy crossbow more than four feet long, and the iron pedal at the front end of the crossbow body is the biggest feature of this generation of strong crossbow that is different from the past crossbow.

And during this time, one by one, the prisoners of war were cut off their limbs, and neither they pleaded nor cursed, but their fate did not change.

Those Wu people, whose means are becoming more and more proficient, even have the ability to make their wounds bleed more when they cut off their limbs, watching the prisoners of war who have their limbs cut off, squirming on the ground with their last strength, these demons on the lookers all clap their hands and laugh wildly.

"Give them a treat!" Pointing to the center of the battlefield sixty paces away, Zhang Wei's voice was indescribably tired.

He couldn't step into the trap of the enemy, but he couldn't watch the captured robes being humiliated.

If you want to die, you have to get a whole corpse happily, and there are those Wu people who are proud, even if he can't save his compatriots, Zhang Wei has to kill some demons to accompany him on the road.

The leader of the Divine Arm Bow Team made a flute, moved his lips, and stopped talking, and one of Zhang Wei's personal soldiers asked in a whisper beside him, "General, don't you want to save ......"

"Save! Can you get it back?! Zhang Wei turned around with a glare, pointing to the robe that was still being tortured, his eyes were red, and the ghost-like spirit overwhelmed everyone and didn't dare to persuade him anymore, and shouted again: "Quick!" ”

As the commander-in-chief, you have to know what you can do and what you can't do, you can't come by your own will, rush out at this time to kill those demons, save your compatriots, but you have to miss the overall situation, the overall situation is important!

No one dared to discount the commander's command, and a group of crossbowmen lined up at the head of the city, using the strength of their waists and legs to string the crossbows, and when they listened to the order, they buckled their teeth together, and shot out the short arrows placed in the slot.

Unlike the longbow, which always has a lingering sound after firing, the crossbow bows newly built by these Ministry of Works are extremely powerful, and when they open their teeth, they are a short, dull chirp.

Dozens or hundreds of voices were connected together, like the roar of a giant beast, directly nailing everything sixty steps away, whether it was a Wu or a Han person, to the ground.

No matter how good or bad, all of them were killed, and Zhang Wei's decision made the battlefield where the golden drum horn did not stop for a moment turn into a dead silence in an instant.

But the next moment, the triumphant horn of the Wu people under the city sounded again, as if victorious, and played happily, but it may be that the power of the strong crossbow was intimidated, and the Wu people under the city did not come to attack the city again with the horn that sounded.

On the battlefield where the corpses were everywhere, there was suddenly a rare blank, except for the Wu people who fell to the ground and survived the siege of the city a few times before, there were no other living creatures.

However, after the Wu people made the action of killing the Han people, every body that could still move under the city would be pierced by several crossbow arrows from different angles, and the wounded who had a chance to escape back were killed in the blink of an eye.

The strong crossbow of this generation, three crossbow arrows at a time, fired once, has to be rewound, it is not as good as the crossbow, but the power is much greater.

Each is suitable for different occasions, when the ground is engaged, the crossbow is easy to use, and the crossbow can be fired at the fastest speed, but the strong crossbow is suitable for defending the city, and the crossbow archer on the head of the city can safely get on the crossbow.

Although the number of arrows in the city is now urgent, Zhang Wei still has to waste a little bit in this matter, and the anger in his and the sergeant's hearts must be vented, otherwise it will affect the morale and make the army unstable.

And Zhang Wei himself also has a ball of anger in his heart that wants to come out: "Let Zhang Chuang lead the team to rest first, I will use them in the next few days!" ”

He decided that he wanted to give the Wu people a good look, but not today, it depends on when the Wu army relaxes, and the horse team in the city cannot be exposed, there is only one chance.

Today, the Wu people are so despicable, they will definitely take precautions and lead themselves to war, the new occupation of the Han army in Fancheng only needs to be defeated, and it may not be guaranteed, so even if it is revenge, it must also find a good time.
