readx;?? The offensive and defensive battles of the Great Wall were still ongoing, and a large number of Donghu people saw the dense bronze crossbows on the ground that could even break horses' legs, and had to give up the combat method of riding horses forward. Biqugewww.biquge.infohp:///

For the Donghu people, the Qin army's bed crossbow was a little worse, but the lethal crossbow arrows fired made them have to disperse and charge.

Who those crossbow arrows can hit is more of a matter of resignation.

In contrast, many Donghu people kept charging forward with a freshly made wooden plank that could even see the bark and a little uneven, resisting the bows and crossbows of the Qin army.

Many of these wooden planks, which are even ten centimeters thick, are improvised by Donghu craftsmen in the back.

Perhaps, these things can't resist the Qin army's bed crossbows, and even some powerful pouting crossbows, but for the Qin army's hand crossbows and a large number of bows and arrows, the arrows fired have a certain effect.

Many Qin soldiers saw this scene and kept beckoning the nearby bed crossbowmen to shoot at these Donghu people.

However, many of the bed crossbows installed by the Qin army on the head of the city could not shoot at the Donghu people who were less than a hundred meters away.

It's not that the bed crossbowmen of the Qin army are afraid of death, but they shoot condescendingly, and many times they have to face an embarrassing situation, that is, the arrows they fire out have no depression angle at all.

Once a large number of Donghu people rushed to the city with these planks and a large number of bows and crossbows, not to mention bed crossbows, even some archers could not attack these Donghu people in the absence of depression angles.

Of course, standing on the battlements can still shoot the Donghu people, but few Qin crossbowmen would do such a stupid thing. Because before they could aim at the Donghu people under the city wall and shoot, I was afraid that the Donghu people in the distance would shoot them directly into a hedgehog full of arrows.

Many people will not try this kind of combat method, and many officers of the Qin army will not make such an order.

Many Qin officers and soldiers wanted to continue pouring oil or gold water to scald the Donghu people near the city wall. But the two or five hundred lords of the Qin army shook their heads after hearing the words of several Qin army officers who asked for their lives: "Don't pour things down, the Donghu people are not stupid, and it can be said that there is no effect on the head with that wooden plank." ”

"My lord, what should we do?" a Qin army of five hundred lords didn't quite understand what his commander was going to do.

The two or five hundred lords of the Qin army looked at the logs placed behind the battlements, which were called sassags, and said, "Throw these sassals down to me!"

"Whoa!"

The officers of the Qin army quickly ordered the timber officers of the Qin army on the city wall to quickly throw these pieces of wood down.

Unlike in the movie, the tree is basically cut into two pieces, and some of the branches and leaves are cut off from the trunk. It's like that kind of smooth, fuel-painted wood, sorry, no one wants to do such a wasteful thing.

Of course, some of the furniture or beams and pillars that have been removed may be more suitable prototypes of sassal wood in the eyes of some people.

In fact, the ancient sassal wood is basically a log trunk, because for things that are thrown down to smash people, a piece of processed logs is no different from the log trunk that has not been processed, but only briefly trimmed.

Many Qin officers and soldiers carefully lifted the sassaga wood placed in front of them, and then a few people lifted hundreds or thousands of catties, and the sassafras of different lengths were thrown directly down.

Many Donghu people saw Qin Jun throwing things below, and subconsciously raised the wooden shield in their hands directly to their heads.

As a result, many Donghu people's hands holding shields were directly smashed, and the sandalwood was only slightly cushioned, and then several Donghu people were directly pressed underneath.

Many Donghu people were not directly stoned to death, but were crushed by the sassawood and could not move.

As more and more Qin officers and soldiers threw down the nearby sandalwood and the root of the wall on the north side of the Great Wall, many Donghu people were crushed in the pile of sandalwood, unable to move.

The second batch of cloud ladder troops of the Donghu people, under the cover of a large number of Donghu people's shield soldiers, rushed to the city again, and many of the Donghu people's cloud ladder hands did not know that they had changed the first few people. However, under the threat of some soldiers of the Donghu tribe who were in charge of supervision, the young and strong Donghu people of these small tribes had to constantly fill the vacant positions of the Yunti soldiers who were killed and wounded by the crossbowmen of the Qin army.

After paying a heavy price, the second batch of ladders were successively erected by the Donghu people on the battlements of the Great Wall.

The wolf tooth slap of the Qin army and the wrestlers kept breaking or overthrowing these ladders again.

Many Donghu people who had already begun to climb flew to the ground again.

This time there was no luck with the previous group of troops who climbed the city, and a large number of sassal logs piled up under the city head made many Donghu soldiers injured or killed directly after the collision.

Some of the Donghu people who fell down from the ladder slammed their heads against these sassal trees, and after their limbs twitched, they did not move again.

And many Donghu people, it is other parts that collide on these sassal woods.

Some were broken and clutched to the painful areas and screamed, while others were injured by their bodies hitting the woods, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Before many people could get up from the ground, the sky once again fell from the wood, stones, or boiling oil and gold water that were boiled again.

The Donghu people, some distance below the city wall, once again suffered heavy casualties.

......

When the king of Donghu, Zabehe, saw the second group of attacking ladder troops, and once again suffered heavy casualties, and after the temporary ladder was even more heavily damaged, he had to order the team to retreat.

The Donghu people retreated, and the crossbowmen of the Qin army certainly would not let go of such an opportunity.

Many Donghu people who supported each other to leave, but had not yet left the range of the Qin army's crossbowmen, were shot to the ground one after another by the crossbows fired from the city wall behind.

Some Donghu people who wanted to retreat saw this scene and retreated to the area below the city wall with great interest.

The crossbowmen of the Qin army in some positions could shoot these Donghu people, but the crossbowmen of the Qin army, who were in charge of the attack, received an order from the officer to stop shooting for the time being.

At this time, the attacking Donghu people slowly retreated, and the crossbowmen of the Qin army saw that the Donghu people were far away from their attack range, and many people stopped shooting one after another.

The two or five hundred lords under the command of the Qin army successively issued orders to let the troops rest and recuperate.

After receiving this order, many Qin army crossbowmen whose arms began to soften stopped one after another and moved their sore arms.

The Qin army's shield bearer silently put the shield on the ground and pulled out the bow and crossbow arrows inserted in the shield.

Some of the lightly wounded soldiers of the Qin army gritted their teeth and opened the linen straps on the mouths, and under the treatment of the medical workers in the army, they sweated on their foreheads without saying a word, and endured the pain from the wounds.

At this time, a Qin army came to the front of the two or five hundred lords, clenched his fists and said, "My lord, General Zuo has led the troops over to reinforce them. ”

The two or five hundred lords nodded, looked at the smaller and smaller black dots in the north, and said, "I know, let everyone be on high alert, and this official will go and report to General Zuo." ”

"Whoa!"

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

At a distance of more than 500 meters southeast of the Great Wall Pass, camp tents were erected one after another from north to south.

A chariot and several Qin army knights rushed towards the newly built military camp from the direction of the pass.

Zhang Jiashi and the officers brought over were discussing something in a large tent.

After a while, a Qin army of two or five hundred lords walked in, half-knelt on the ground, and said to Zhang Jiashi: "Qin Min, the two and five hundred lords of Liaodong County, report the situation to General Zuo." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jiashi raised his head, looked at the two or five hundred masters of the Qin army, who were not too old, and said, "Get up." How's it going?"

"Wow. After Qin Min got up from the ground, he bent over and clenched his fists: "General Zuo, within more than an hour of the Donghu people's attack, the officers and soldiers under his command did not let the Donghu people successfully climb the city wall. And the Donghu people discarded two rushing cars, as well as the corpses of no less than 5,000 people. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jiashi nodded, and then continued: "Well, the merits of the two or five hundred lords of Qin, this general will take note for the time being. In the future, it is very likely that the Donghu people will not give up, in your eyes, what other aspects can we improve better?"

Qin Min thought for a moment, and then said: "General Zuo, my subordinates think that the Donghu people have learned a lesson this time, and the situation we encounter next is likely to be even worse. Our city defense equipment seems to be relatively sufficient, but some of our consumables are lost quickly. Especially the boiling oil and that kind of gold water, I didn't think of any place to quickly replenish it. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jiashi nodded.

What Qin Min said, Zhang Jiashi also thought about it. But for Zhang Jiashi, if you want to add something like gold water, it is still quite difficult, not to mention the boiling oil that is already a rarity.

What exactly is gold water?

Gold water is a kind of sewage that is boiled with excrement and some toxic things.

Zhang Jiashi took things that mainly added excrement, which was more lethal than simple boiling water.

It is very difficult for people who are burned by this relatively rudimentary gold water to heal their wounds, not to mention the bacterial infections that are more easily caused by boiling gold water.

In this day and age, biological weapons are an inexplicable tactic. After all, in this period, if a person wants to study bacterial virology, he first does not have the most basic environment and supporting facilities.

Boiling oil is a mixture of tung oil or other animal fats.

Boiling oil is hotter than boiling water, and its lethality to the human body is relatively greater.

But there is also a problem with the use of boiling oil, that is, oil nowadays is a rather scarce thing.

It can be said that many things, such as some crossbows and arrowheads, can be considered non-reusable consumables.

Zhang Jiashi is not an immortal, but he can't do something out of nothing.

Zhang Jiashi thought for a while and then said to Qin Min, "Is there a lot of other materials to consume?"

Qin Min thought for a while and said a conjecture of data: "General Zuo, our arrowheads, wood, and stones are also quite a lot of consumption. If the Donghu people are attacking like this every day, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of bows, crossbows, arrows, and corresponding supplies that we have stored in a few days. ”

Qin Min's words made Zhang Jiashi fall into deep thought.

Although, Daqin's military construction has a relatively simple assembly line production method.

However, for high-consumable materials such as bows and arrows, it is not possible to make effective substitutions for a while.

This is not to say that the operation mode of the Great Qin Military Construction is not good, but there are so many people who produce weapons, and many times, production cannot keep up at all, which is a very normal thing.

This is also the basic reason why the Qin army had to organize personnel and recover corresponding materials many times after the war.

Zhang Jiashi looked at Qin Min and said a sentence: "Is it difficult for us to clean up the battlefield?"

Qin Min clenched his fists and replied to Zhang Jiashi: "General Zuo, there are probably still hundreds of remnants of the Donghu people under the city that have not been completely cleaned up. When the subordinate came, he only ordered the officers and soldiers guarding the city to warn whether the enemy was close to the city gate, and did not send people to clean it up. ”

Hearing Qin Min's reply, Zhang Jiashi was silent for a moment, looked at Ruan Weng Shao and Huan Suo, and said, "Wait until evening, if the Donghu people give up the attack, the two of you are responsible for leading a thousand people each to quickly clean up the Donghu people." In addition, Xiahou Ying, the matter of recycling materials will be left to you. I will allocate you two thousand soldiers. ”

"Whoa!"

Hearing his name, Ruan Weng Shao, Huan Suo, and Xiahou Ying clasped their fists at Zhang Jiashi, indicating that they received their orders.

Zhang Jiashi looked at the senior officers under his command in the camp tent and thought for a while: "Starting at night, every four hours, there will be a rotation of soldiers guarding the city, with 3,000 people each time. The first rotation, Han Shin, you are in charge. ”

"Whoa!"

"The second rotation, Li Cang, you are in charge. ”

"Whoa!"

"The third rotation, Lieutenant Shi, you are in charge!"

"Whoa!"

Zhang Jiashi looked at the few people who were clenching their fists at him, as well as the other officers under his command who were on standby, and finally said a sentence: "The others will work and rest according to the normal time, and in addition, let all the troops who are not on duty be on call as much as possible." ”

"Whoa!"

"Let's all go down and do things. ”

After more than ten seconds, Zhang Jiashi glanced at the tent where there were no more people, and slowly fell into thought.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

At the same time, about ten miles northwest of the Great Wall Pass, the Donghu people, under the orders or command of their tribal leaders, began to look for suitable areas to set up camp.

While watching the direct camp tent being slowly erected, Zabekh, the king of Donghu, was also thinking about how to proceed next.

This time they attacked the Great Wall, and the offensive on the first day can be said to be completely using the lives of the people of Donghu as a useless effort.

On the other hand, he also realized that the Qin army, especially the Great Qin General Zhang Jiashi, whom he hated so much, had already prepared for his invasion.

Obviously, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to break through this Great Wall pass in one fell swoop and attack Dingxiang City on a large scale.

Zabekh wasn't the kind of person who had no tendons, and he was thinking about what he could do to reverse the extremely unfavorable situation in front of him.

"Perhaps...... Can anyone recoup such a disadvantage?"

Zabeh glanced at the Qin slaves who were threatened with setting up tents, and he touched his chin.

......

After the construction of the camp of the Donghu people was basically completed, Zabeh sent a large number of knights to the various tribes that camped nearby.

These knights mainly conveyed an order, that is, to let the Han slaves with corresponding abilities give the status of a herdsman of the Donghu tribe, and let them suggest what way to solve the problems that the Donghu people are facing now.

The number of tribes brought by Zabehe this time was more than 300,000, including these Qin slaves, there were almost 350,000.

In other words, it is not surprising that there are more than 20,000 Qin slaves and people with corresponding skills and abilities.

Just as Zabekh thought. The Qin slaves gathered by the tribes themselves, after hearing a few requests from him, many people seemed to be a little moved.

However, Zabehe underestimated the hatred of these plundered Qin people or Yan Zhao people for him and Donghu in his heart.

Some of the descendants of slaves born in Donghu were moved, but were thwarted by their elders.

Zabekh, who had been reported, then ordered the relatives of some of the slaves to be arrested and threatened.

Soon, under the threat of a scimitar, several slaves stepped forward.

They were the instrument craftsmen of the Yan Kingdom and the Zhao State in the past, that is, similar to the makers of siege equipment in the Great Qin Army, and they were involved in many of the equipment produced by the Yan Kingdom and the Zhao State.

Many of them were plundered by the Donghu people during the Great Qin Unification War of the Six Kingdoms.

In the end, under the coercion and temptation of the Donghu people, these slaves became Zhang Jiashi's biggest trouble.

Because, many siege equipment of the Yan and Zhao styles have been made one after another.

If Zhang Jiashi knew about this situation, he would not say a word and directly lead people away.

Of course, after Zhang Jiashi found out about this situation, he could only engage in a bloody battle with the Donghu people inside and outside the Great Wall.

......

When it was almost nightfall, the attacking Qin army, under the leadership of Ruan Weng Shao and Huan Suo, cleaned up the Donghu people hiding under the city wall at the cost of more than a dozen casualties.

As Xiahou's infant convoy successively transported the recovered bows, crossbows, arrows, and some materials that could still be used, they drove back to the Great Wall Pass. Ruan Weng Shao and Huan Suo, after watching the flags raised by the two sides, climbed back to the Great Wall passage through the slings lowered on the city wall.

And the gate of the Great Wall was closed again, and more than a dozen Qin army strongmen, pushing several bayonet carts full of stones, blocked the city gate.

No one knows what will happen in the following days after the gates are closed.

The night was already dark, and Zhang Jiashi silently looked at the north side of the Great Wall, speechless for a long time.
