This scene was noticed by Chu Mao, and he understood that he had no choice just now.

Either die, or do it with Qi Heng.

Qi Heng immediately ordered: "Now give me a rough map of the entire Yuan army camp, in addition, there is also the situation of the guards in the camp." ”

For Qi Heng's request, Chu Mao was not surprised.

Through the conversation just now, it can be seen that the status of the young man in front of him is not low, and even Jinling City is now under his control.

And now that he has come to this Yuan army camp at the risk of cutting off his head, it can be seen that his purpose is obvious.

But no matter what, his whole family is in his hands, and there is no choice.

He had already thought of these when he promised Qi Heng.

Looking at the pen and paper in front of him, Chu Mao immediately began to draw on the paper according to the information he knew.

Meanwhile.

The siege outside Huanggang continued.

Under Tokhtar's command, rounds of siege had been going on all day.

The Yuan army could train troops, could attack the city with 11,000 people, and the rest of the time, rested in the camp.

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang in the city had to let the soldiers on the city wall insist in order to preserve the combat strength of the soldiers as much as possible.

Non-stop combat.

Taking advantage of the gap between the enemy troops being repulsed, Zhu Yuanzhang patrolled the city for a week.

Seeing that the soldiers were tired and their eyes were glazed, he knew that he couldn't go on like this.

Back on the south tower, Qi Heng replaced all the soldiers on the original city with all the spare soldiers in the city.

Except for the north side of the city, all the soldiers on the other three sides went down to the city to rest.

At the same time, batches of arrows were sent to the city.

When a new round of soldiers of the Yuan army began to attack the city, not long after they had just entered the shooting range of the bow and arrow, the defenders on three sides of Huanggang City began to draw their bows and arrows, and shot according to the way that the Yuan army replaced one row after another.

The soldiers stood on top of the city tower, and they had the advantage of height, and the distance shot by the bow and arrow was naturally farther than that of the archers of the Yuan army.

In an instant, the Yuan army that was just preparing to attack the city was repulsed.

The general of the Yuan army on the opposite side urged with a gloomy face when he saw that the soldiers had all retreated.

But several times when he recharged, he was ordered by the rebel generals commanded on the city wall to shoot arrows and retreated.

This method can indeed have a defensive effect, but the consumption of bows and arrows is too large.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to do this before.

Although there were a lot of arrows in the city, there were 150,000 Yuan troops on the opposite side, and he couldn't use the arrows in the city so quickly.

Otherwise, when the Yuan army really began to attack the city, it was likely that there would be a shortage of arrows.

After all, that thing is a one-time consumable, shoot it out, and it's gone.

A salvo of the soldiers on the city wall is the consumption of thousands or even tens of thousands.

No matter how thick the family foundation is, it can't withstand such consumption.

Inside the camp of the Chinese army.

As the sky darkened, Tokhtar had returned to the camp to command.

"Report!"

"The rebels in the city shoot with bows and arrows, and the soldiers can't rush through."

Hearing this, he walked out of the camp after pondering, looked at the sky at the moment, and said, "Continue to attack in half an hour." ”

After thinking about it, the general of the front-line army understood the meaning of Totoku: "Yes! ”

Half an hour passed quickly.

During this period, the Yuan army did not attack the city again, giving the rebels some respite.

But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's face is still not good-looking.

The reason is very simple, the sky has completely darkened, and in the absence of firelight, it is impossible to see how many soldiers are attacking the city on the opposite side.

This made it very difficult for them to command and defend the city.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of the lighting arrow that Qi Heng had introduced to him in the Divine Camp before.

immediately sent someone to inquire about Shi Caiying.

Shi Caiying, who heard this, immediately led people to Shen Wansan.

The Armaments Division has always been in charge of him, and he knows these things best.

At this time, Shen Wansan of the Armaments Department seemed to have guessed that they would come, and had already ordered someone to prepare a batch of lighting arrows, as well as gunpowder arrows.

Although the lethality of these arrows is not large, the lighting arrows are better than the special effect, and the gunpowder arrows can create a moment of chaos for the enemy under certain circumstances, thereby interrupting the opponent's orderly siege and reducing the pressure on the soldiers defending the city a lot.

Not only that, Shen Wansan also specially ordered people to work overtime, and specially created a batch of conventional arrows, with more than 30,000 arrows.

It's not a lot for today's consumption rate, but it's not easy to build it in such a short period of time.

When these arrows were sent to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly showed a look of surprise.

This is the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang has felt joy since he began to defend the city.

For Han Qin, Chen Guang, Mu Ying, Zheng Guangzu, Shi Caiying, Qi Heng's cronies, Zhu Yuanzhang has basically seen them.

At the same time, they are also aware of their abilities.

Only this Shen Wansan does not have too much intersection with him, and he does not know much about the affairs of their armaments department.

Only know a general effect.

Now when he saw the batch of military materials sent by the Armaments Department, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized the role of Qi Heng in establishing the Armaments Division.

In addition to being equipped with daily military supplies, productivity in special times can also help them.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Armaments Department to speed up manufacturing.

At the same time, this batch of special bows and arrows was sent to the three-sided city guards.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

With the firing of a flare arrow, the explosion of fireworks instantly lit up a large space in the distance below the city.

At this time, the Yuan army, which was preparing to secretly approach the city to attack the city, had nothing to hide.

The effect of this illuminated arrow is much greater than that of a rocket that is usually used for night combat.

After the momentum of the Yuan army's siege of the city was suppressed, a soldier suddenly came from the north of the city.

When he came to Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately handed him a letter by hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the letter suspiciously, and when he saw the content of the letter, he couldn't help but sigh in front of everyone: "In the end, it was Engong, and I guessed the plan of the Yuan army in a few words." ”

In fact, not only Qi Heng, but Zhu Yuanzhang himself also knew the idea of detachment after defending the city all day.

But there is no way, this is a conspiracy.

Now relying on arrows to block the Yuan army's attack is not a long-term solution.

There will come a time when the arrows run out.

However, when he saw that Qi Heng wanted him to set his goal of holding the city as much as possible, the pressure on Zhu Yuanzhang instantly eased.

He had always been worried that the arrow would be finished when it was consumed, and the heart that was hanging at this time also fell.

Based on the number of arrows in the city now, it should be enough for him to squander for two or three days.
