041. Fatigue tactics

In the first wave of encirclement, three people died in the town.

Dugu Huan, Guo Hua and others convened a meeting and once again told everyone how to dodge the enemy's arrow array.

Their arrow formations also have a pattern to follow.

It is safe to be within three steps of the "wall". Within three to twenty paces from the "city wall" was the most dangerous, and the arrows that fell on the ground were so dense that they were like a hedgehog.

Twenty to fifty steps were also quite dangerous, with three or five arrows stuck in the ground at almost every step.

In the range of fifty to one hundred paces, the arrows that fell on the ground were taunted, and two or three steps were sharp, but it was still not safe.

A hundred paces away from the city wall, in the middle of the village, is the safest.

It's also safe to cling to the city wall, but watching the rain of arrows fall, the pressure in my heart is too great, and occasionally the arrows will bounce off and smash on the shield made of pot lids and door panels, so you have to be very careful to deal with it.

If all retreat to the center of the village, there is a risk that the city defenses will be lost.

They can be suppressed by a rain of arrows, and then slowly organize their men to ascend the city walls with "ladders".

The combat ability of these green headbands is so professional that they even have to hit the wood, I'm afraid that they have already thought of "cloud ladders" and the like.

Even if they didn't bring a ladder, there were many trees in the nearby forest that were a few feet high, and with the number of their men, they could make more than a hundred ladders in less than half an hour.

At least, Dugu Huan and Guo Yu figured out their opponents like this.

The arrows stopped falling, and the enemy's horse team gradually moved away, Dugu Huan jumped on the watchtower and made sure that the enemy had retreated, so he ordered the villagers to hurry to the center of the village and make lunch.

Now that the sun is in the west, it is already past noon, so we must hurry to help everyone replenish their strength. These people are hungry, but you don't care about them, they will be chaotic when the time comes.

The enemy is also cooking and even setting up tents. This is to set up camp and fight with this small village.

This is what Dugu Huan and Guo Hua are most worried about.

There are wells in the village, and there is no shortage of food, so it is not a problem to support it for two or three months or even half a year. The question is whether these villagers can withstand the fear in their hearts.

And more directly, will the enemy use fatigue tactics?

Now the initiative is still in the hands of the green head.

There are more than 20,000 of them, divided into more than a dozen groups, day and night, constantly harassing and invading, and they can exhaust people to death when they are tired.

Duguhuan took the opportunity to discuss countermeasures with Guo Hua.

The enemy has collected a lot of arrows, more than 40,000. The rest can be collected slowly.

These arrows are crucial to defend against enemy attacks.

The main thing missing now is the arrow tower. Now there are only four watchtowers where archers can be arranged, which is too few.

Those enemies of the Vajra Wall are not easy to climb, and we ourselves can't climb them.

"Do you want me to use the Buddhist Sect Technique to make some arrow towers again?" Guo Hua saw through Dugu Huan's thoughts.

"Yes, otherwise we will only be beaten passively, and even worse at night, I see that they have sent people into the maple forest on the back, and they must have sent people to cut down trees to make ladders. Duguhuan was a little anxious.

"I saw it, and I guess they'll be able to make the ladder before evening. ”

"Yes, so we're too late, if you think it's too abrupt, I can mobilize those people and let them go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and if you cast a spell in secret, you will say that it is the Bodhisattva's manifestation. ”

"That's not good, if we go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, we can ask for a strong city wall, a high arrow tower, then what will happen to them? When we leave, if the green bands come again, they only know that if they go to the temple and pout their butts to worship the Bodhisattva, they will only be slaughtered. ”

What Guo Hua said is not unreasonable, they also discussed it before. You don't have to play it, you don't need those Buddhist and Taoist arts, you have to train the villagers' ability and courage to fight against the enemy.

"But it's too late, people make ladders fast, let's make watchtowers and arrow towers, but it's slow. Dugu Huan sighed, he wasn't complaining about Guo Huan, he just felt helpless.

"We also make ladders, these King Kongs have their backs to the village, they face outward, they are inclined outward, it is difficult to climb the wall from the outside, it is easy to climb up from the inside. ”

"Build fortifications directly on the walls of King Kong?"

"Well, I will secretly adjust the hardness of King Kong, let the villagers lay wooden stakes on the wall of King Kong, and erect wooden planks to make arrow stacks, there is still a chance. ”

Everything was carried out according to Guo Hua's plan, every dozen steps on the King Kong Wall, a strong arrow stack was made of logs and planks, and then pasted with sand, gravel, grass and mud, the Western Regions dried, and the mud dried quickly, greatly increasing the defensive performance.

A few days before sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the river of broken leaves blood.

The greenbands began to stream out of the maple groves of the north, each with a ladder hanging from it.

Instead of rushing to attack, they sent a few teams of horses around the town and shouted and cursed a few times, and then went back again.

The other party began to make dinner, and Dugu Huan and Guo Hua also hurriedly instructed the town that every time the other party cooks and eats, we also synchronize with them, in case they continue to attack for a long time and have no chance to eat.

For dinner, Duguhuan, Guo Hua, Magpie, and several people ate with the village elders and captains.

Three elders, two Han Chinese, and one Sogdian. One is called Du Laoniu, the other is Zhang Shifteen, and the Sogdian is called Kang Shaoxian.

"Old man, what's wrong with these green headbands, how can they be so active in order to deal with such a small village as ours?" asked Guo Yu puzzled.

Du Lao Niu is the oldest and the most prestigious in the town, so he explained first, "These green bands, belonging to a branch of the Holy Fire Shinrikyo, are extremely cruel and ruthless, which is also related to their teachings, they worship the fire gods of hell and are good at using people's fears. ”

“......”

"They just want to make people afraid of them and live in fear of them, so they will never allow any force to resist them, as long as anyone dares to resist them, they will not hesitate to mobilize several times, dozens or even hundreds of times the manpower to kill all the people there and burn down their houses and villages. ”

“......”

"It's not the first time they've done this, there was a tribe before, it was the people of the Gaoche tribe, it was a brave and warlike people, they lived in a valley, the terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, they repelled the attack of the green headband several times in a row, and finally recruited tens of thousands of green headbands, and it took three days and three nights to capture the canyon and kill all the high-speed people there. ”

“......”

"That's how they are, and there is absolutely no room for anyone who is not afraid of them. Kang Shaoxian also said.

As soon as the topic opened, the nearby villagers all started talking.

It's all about the brutality, gore, and cunning of the green headband.

Once the green-headed bands occupy a village or tribe, they will collect head donations there, and every time they come, they will be happy, saying something like, "You people here are good, kind-hearted, hardworking and capable, pay a lot of head donations and on time, it's so fucking, it's so fucking shameless, kill our people, come to collect our money, and listen to what they say." ”

"yes, every time I hear them say, 'We're all friends, you see how warm they are to us, they always welcome us so warmly,' I vomit with disgust. ”

"Yes, those Flame Truth Cultists are extremely shameless, obviously they are oppressing and invading us, and they say that we welcome them. ”

The descriptions were full of disgust and contempt for the Flame Truth Cultists, as if they were maggots.

These guys are disgusting.

As soon as I started eating, there was an eager sound of gongs and drums from the watchtower.

Dugu Huan taught the Sentinel Flag. The sentries shouted and told the people that the enemy was coming in the thousands.

Don't these guys eat themselves?

Is it to confuse us?

People scolded and hurried back to their posts.

The green head belt sent thousands of people to shout around the town for a while, Dugu Huan and Guo Hua had just brought up this fighting spirit, and the people went back again.

When it was dark, I came to make trouble again.

Over and over again, until midnight, there was a fuss seven or eight times. One or two thousand, three or five hundred, and without much delay, they ran around the town twice, shooting a few arrows at each and then going back.

People's nerves are like bowstrings, smack, they fill you, your heart beats faster, blood swells, adrenaline rushes, people hula and run away, and let go of you.

Tossing and turning like this over and over again is more tiring than half a day's hard work.

In the middle of the night, the stars are shining, and the earth and mountains fall a layer of white and soft light.

Now you don't even have to hit a torch, you can see it everywhere.

"In the middle of the night, the enemy is coming, and this time it's the real thing. ”

Everybody was babbling and muttering in their hearts. I'm about to be tossed out of my nerves by the green headbands.

Obviously he was so tired that his eyelids were fighting, but he still held on to prevent himself from falling asleep.

Not long after midnight, the green-headbands came again, almost ten thousand people, running around the town and shooting arrows.

The militia of the town suddenly came to their senses, and with high morale, they hid behind the stacks of arrows, and kept shooting at the incoming enemy.

As a result, the gang ran around and then retreated.

"Fuck, it's back. ”

"Malegobi, fight, fight. ”

"This group of shameless bastards, neither beating nor sleeping. ”

The people screamed and cursed for a short while, and the feelings of anger and resentment were once again suppressed by intense sleepiness.

There are so few young people in the village that people can only be divided into three groups to guard in turn.

One group peered through the arrows on the wall, while others rested under the wall.

What's more troublesome is that these are ordinary people who are not professional soldiers, and they simply can't control their sleep at will. I was excited when I was a little moved, and no one fell asleep in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, everyone was sleepy there.

This can make Dugu Huan and Guo Hua worried.

It doesn't matter if they don't sleep for a few days and nights, but right now this battle is not just for them.

At the beginning, they said that they didn't care about the sound of horses' hooves and scolding outside, and they would wait for the gongs and drums to be beaten before preparing for battle, these people couldn't do it at all.

One by one, the eyelids were fighting there, and all of them couldn't sleep, all waiting for the next round of enemy attacks.

Half an hour passed, and another hour passed, and the enemy did not move.

People's spirits began to relax, and sleepiness washed over people's wills over and over again, like a rolling tide.
