Chapter 43: The Decisive Battle I
At the beginning of the two rounds of arrows, Zheng Jun saw that about 30 people were shot, but no one was shot to the point, most of them were shot in the hands and feet, and the injuries were not too serious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Wait until the crowd disperses, and the other party's salvo will have no results. Although his students had already handled this mild arrow wound more skillfully, since there were wounded, he was still ready to return to his post.
Usually, not only Jiuxi will shoot in this direction, but the Ba people will sometimes return a few rounds, so both sides are actually very clear that it is difficult to have any big results in such shooting, and most of the time they will stop after a few rounds.
However, now the opponent's projectiles are round after round, and there is no stopping at all, and Zheng Jun does not dare to leave the wall for a while. Taking advantage of the gap between the two rounds of arrows, Zheng Jun quietly looked up and looked out, and found that not only the soldiers on the earth platform were constantly shooting arrows, but also a team of archers from the south came to support, and they actually made a big move that was rare in the past few days.
He looked at the north bank again, where there had been movement before, and at this time he could already see more clearly that there were indeed reinforcements there, and at this time they were actually swimming across the river. However, the position is estimated to be 2 kilometers away, and it is impossible for the Ba soldiers to go over and attack halfway. There is no need for the other party to suppress the cover at all. After seeing the situation, Zheng Jun hurriedly retracted the wall before the next round of arrows fell. But no matter why, it's the other side of the crowd right now anyway.
He nudged one of the soldiers next to him and said to him.
"Let us give them a salute. ”
It is said that Zheng Jun, the "director of a field hospital", is not qualified to give orders to front-line soldiers. But now the guards of the Ba nationality are not really a real army, whether it is organized or disciplined, compared to the cold weapons army of later generations, it can only be regarded as a rabble. However, he is barely proficient in fishing and hunting, and he is not afraid of death, but he can also fight. The soldier listened to Zheng Jun's words, recognized him as a witch of the Ba tribe, and felt that it was quite aggrieved to always shrink back and be shot, so he passed on the word as instructed.
Although it is said to be a rabble, the basic cooperation of these soldiers can still be done, after all, when they usually participate in hunting, they also need to cooperate. Small-scale attacks can be organized and coordinated by the soldiers themselves. It didn't take long for the Ba tribe to organize a salvo to return to the past, and Zheng Jun couldn't help but look up again to observe the results.
The archers supporting the opponent were already in place at this time, and they were preparing to fire a salvo, because they were rushing over, and there was no shield soldier to cover them. Now it's their turn to suffer, this round of arrows of the Ba tribe is much denser than the previous opponent's shooting, Zheng Jun estimates that there are about three or four hundred Ba soldiers participating in the salvo at this time.
The shooters of the Jiuxi clan were lined up to shoot, and they ate this stick on the spot, and they shot down a piece at once. However, the power of such a distance projectile is really limited, although dozens of people were shot down, but they were only minor injuries. However, although the damage was not heavy, in order to avoid the rain of arrows, these shooters had to scatter in all directions, confusing their formation, and disrupting their rhythm.
The soldiers of the Ba tribe were round after round, the rhythm was getting better and better, and the speed was getting faster and faster, even Zheng Jun couldn't help but add in and shoot a few arrows, and they suppressed the Jiuxi shooters from a distance of hundreds of meters.
However, when the opponent's shield hand comes up, this kind of long-range shot will not help. Through the battlements and shields, the two sides exchanged several rounds of their arrows, and then there was no success, and then finally it slowly subsided.
Zheng Jun took one last look before leaving, and there was no movement of the other party's reinforcements on the north bank, and there was no trace in the middle of the river.
"It doesn't seem like a lot."
Back at the "hospital", Zheng Jun found that most of the wounded sent before had been treated, and the students were already very comfortable dealing with these minor injuries, at least they could be regarded as qualified medical soldiers.
......
When Zheng Jun and the soldiers were shooting happily before, Luo stuck to his post and did not go to join in the fun. The gate of the Ba tribe has always been the main direction of attack of the Jiuxi tribe, and the opponent's army has always been here, so Luo Ye never leaves, even if the intensity of the war is low in the past few days, he rarely leaves, and is always vigilant at any time.
When he heard that there were reinforcements in Jiuxi, although he was surprised, he was not unprepared, and just sent someone to find out. The other side is expected to go to war again with reinforcements, and he must stay here. Sure enough, soon the Jiuxi army reappeared, lined up near the earthen platform a hundred meters away. Luo saw that the other party had sent hundreds of people to the north to support him, but there was no way to threaten the city wall, so he didn't pay attention to it. Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to hear the news that the other party had been suppressed.
Jiuxi's army had been staying a hundred meters away, and the front was densely packed with shields. Before, Jiuxi's shield was very rudimentary and required both hands to hold, but in the past few days, the shield has been improved and can be held steadily with one hand. Now the front row of Jiuxi is a primitive spear and shield soldier with a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, and even the shooters are carrying shields behind their backs, almost one person and one pair.
The Ba tribe also wanted to learn, but unfortunately after all, they couldn't cut wood at will like the Jiuxi tribe, and the stored wood was not enough to make arrows and other things, so they only made a few hundred shields, and there was no way for everyone to have it. Lowe picks out the most experienced hunters and equips them with shields, which they plan to use specifically to contain the Minotaurs.
A hundred meters apart, there was a shield on the opposite side, and the use of arrows had no effect, so there was no movement on either side for a while. After waiting for a while, I didn't see the other party's minotaur appear, and without the minotaur, the Jiuxi clan would not be able to attack the city wall. Luo was worried that the other party had some tricks, so he sent many people to other directions and told them to concentrate on finding the traces of the Minotaur, but after waiting for a long time, no news came back.
"What the hell is the other party doing?"
At this time, of course, Khan and Li Ju were greeting their reinforcements, but there were not 130 Minotaurs who arrived, and a few of them were scattered on the road and could not be found. And these minotaurs have come from a long journey, and they are all very tired. Li Ju exchanged a few words with his men, then turned to discuss with Khan.
"My friend, now is not a good time to attack, my people have gone too far and they need food and rest. ”
Khan nodded dryly.
"No problem, my friend, I'll ask someone to bring food immediately, don't worry, we have time, wait for your people to rest, and it's not too late for us to defeat the tribe of the Ba tribe in one fell swoop." ”
Still, Khan felt a little uneasy, as he had sent his younger brother to the Wushan Clan, hoping to convince them of neutrality. There was such a fire in the direction of Wushan before, and it is said that even if the persuasion is unsuccessful, the Wushan clan will not be able to send troops. According to the agreement, his brother should send someone back to report, and the day should come, but now there is no one to be seen.
But even if there is uneasiness in my heart, looking at these hundreds of minotaurs.
"Even if the Wushan clan also appears, it is still not an opponent, if it comes, it will be better to defeat it together. ”
