Chapter 42: Nine Creek Reinforcements
After a few days of stalemate, the people of the Ba tribe also began to wonder, because they had reinforcements from the Wushan tribe and were in the position of defending the city, so it was understandable that they did not take the initiative to attack. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
And the Jiuxi tribe came here with a large army, the daily food consumption was huge, but only on the second day of the tentative attack for a while and then did not move, if it was said that it was difficult to attack the city, but did not retreat, it was so that they did not attack or retreat and stalemate, why is this?
The others were just puzzled, but Zheng Jun was worried, this action obviously showed that the other party also had reinforcements, but no matter how strong the Jiuxi tribe was, after raising enough food and organizing an army of 6,000, it was already the limit, where would the reinforcements be?
He had doubts and worries in his heart, and he always made mistakes in doing things, and Black Tiger had to remind him often.
At this time, most of the injured of the Ba ethnic group had recovered, and only a few seriously injured were still being raised. Zheng Jun usually has very little work, except for the occasional few unlucky eggs who are shot and need to deal with, the main thing is to give lectures to the little ones.
For medical technology, war is really a powerful propellant, although it is only a few dozen wounded, but after the experience, the students have shown obvious progress, among which the progress of the black fish is even more obvious, general trauma, and even not too complicated serious injuries, he can already deal with them independently. But although he knows how to deal with it, he still doesn't understand why to deal with it, and he can only make up for it slowly later.
During this time, he saw that Zheng Jun was often in a state of mind, and in addition to reminding him, he also began to help his classmates study.
As the days passed, the top brass of the Ba tribe began to suspect that the Jiuxi tribe had reinforcements. For several days in a row, hunters were sent to reconnoiter in the direction of the Jiuxi tribe under the darkness of night, but no new army was found, and the entire Ba tribe began to have a strange depressed mood.
This continued until the sixth day of the siege. It was not very good on this day, although it was not raining, but it was cloudy, and the sun could not be seen, about noon, Zheng Jun was giving a lecture to his students, which was a rare moment of concentration for him these days, and it did not last long but was interrupted by a noise. At first, the noise was only a little bit on the distant wall, and it didn't interfere with his lectures, but then it gradually increased, gradually spreading to the entire tribe. He also saw soldiers running towards the wall from time to time, and his heart moved, and he grabbed one of the soldiers a few steps before he asked.
"What's going on? Is it Jiuxi's reinforcements?"
The man was running concentratingly, was pulled and almost fell, and was about to get angry, but he recognized that this was the witch of the Ba tribe, but he could only reply to Nuonuo.
"It seems that yes, I heard that reinforcements from the Jiuxi tribe are coming from the north. ”
"Doesn't it mean that there are no settlements in the north?"
This was not a question for the soldiers, but Zheng Jun himself lowered his head and muttered to himself. Seeing that Zheng Jun didn't say anything more, the soldier gently broke away and ran away towards the wall.
Zheng Jun, who couldn't figure it out for a while, handed the barefoot doctor's manual in his hand to Blackfish.
"You take the class first, and I'll take a look at the wall. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the black fish to react, he ran towards the city wall.
At this time, the city wall was already crowded with people, both young and old, and they were extremely concerned about this support army.
The Ba tribe was built on the edge of a large river that flowed from west to east, almost 50 meters wide, and Zheng Jun guessed that this river was the early Yangtze River. The Ba people are located on the south bank of the river, because it is inconvenient to cross the river, but the north bank is not developed, and it is still a dense forest. As a modern person, although Zheng Jun is not short-sighted, his eyesight is just ordinary, which is far worse than the natives of this era, but he has not found anything for a while.
"Where?"
A soldier next to him, without looking back, pointed directly to the distance on the north shore.
"There, do you see that?"
Zheng Jun followed the direction he pointed and looked hard, and finally saw that there seemed to be some movement at the edge of the forest, but it was too far away to see clearly. Although he couldn't see clearly, he didn't plan to go back like this, so he observed the movement of Jiuxi on the wall.
The Ba tribe has only one gate, this gate is open in the southeast direction, and the main attack direction of Jiuxi is also there, but at this time, Zheng Jun is on the city wall in the northeast direction. Jiuxi did not arrange much strength in this direction, Zheng Jun only saw that at a distance of about 100 meters, the other party used soil to build four high platforms, barely as high as the earth wall of the Ba tribe, and dozens of Jiuxi soldiers were looking at this side on the high platform at this time, but they looked a little overwhelmed.
At a distance of 100 meters, Zheng Jun could see clearly, and the Jiuxi soldiers on the earthen platform were observing this side, but they did not move. But at this time, he saw a guy running fast, coming from the south, and every time he reached a high platform, he exchanged a few words with the soldiers above, and then Zheng Jun found that the soldiers on the high platform began to bend their bows and arrows.
"To be suffered"
At a distance of a hundred meters, the primitive bow and arrow at this time can only be thrown, and even so, the power is already quite limited, but no matter how limited it is, it is still lethal. This arrow stays in the air for a long time, and it is difficult to hit it even if you notice it. But at this time, the wall was densely packed with people, and there were a lot of people under the wall.
"Scattered, the other side of the archery came over. ”
Zheng Jun was startled as soon as he shouted his words, what if the crowd panicked at this time, this would not form a stampede, if he finally trampled to death and injured a few, then his sin would be great.
However, these worries are superfluous, the confrontation has been going on for a few days, and the other side will shoot arrows from time to time, and the others feel more troublesome than afraid of this kind of throwing bow and arrow, at this time, they were reminded by him, and the others were not panicked, only a few people scattered away, and most of them didn't care too much.
At this moment, the Jiuxi soldiers on the opposite four high platforms were already ready, only to hear an order in the distance, and the dozens of soldiers immediately fired a salvo here. Some of the Ba warriors on the wall also noticed this movement and began to remind each other, but after all, it was crowded, and many people didn't have time to dodge. Zheng Jun could only take care of himself, bending down and cowering under the battlements.
The arrows fired by the other party are actually not too dense, after all, there are only a few dozen people on the other side in this direction, but there are many people gathered by the Ba people at this time, although some people have listened to the reminder and dispersed, but there are still many people who don't care. The number of people shot was more than the previous few days combined.
However, the stampede that Zheng Jun feared did not happen, and the psychological quality of people in this era is much better than that of modern people. Those who were not shot walked on their own, and those who were shot directly let the people on the side help them up, and the crowd dispersed very quickly. The number of people who were hit by the opponent's second round of arrows was greatly reduced, and by the third round, no one had been shot at all.
