Sima Yi changed his way of attacking the high ground.

In addition to artillery and muskets, pushing upwards consumes Yang Zhao's various supplies, and now they are also drawing bows to shoot, consuming Yang Zhao's troops, and the rain of arrows is thrown above the high ground.

Yang Zhao and the others saw so many arrows coming, so they had to lower their heads and hide in the trenches to resist.

"Sima Yi, this is it, send us arrows!"

Zhuge Liang said suddenly.

Yang Zhao was stunned, and suddenly thought of borrowing arrows from the grass boat, and laughed: "Sima Yi doesn't think that we only have long-range weapons such as rifles, right?" ”

He added, "Put away all the arrows that come up, and let someone smash the stones!" ”

At this time, the artillery below was no longer bombarded.

The Xianbei people carried their shields and advanced to within a hundred paces.

The soldiers were given the order to raise the stones in their hands and throw them down, and they also picked up many iron shields of the Xianbei people and came back, standing on top of the trenches, which could effectively resist the enemy's sharp arrows.

The stones fell, and many shields were knocked over.

Yang Zhao gave the order to shoot again.

The gunfire was intermittent, giving the impression that the gunfire was no longer as loud as before.

There is an illusion that there are not enough bullets.

After the gunshot, there was also a large rain of arrows, which were thrown out from the high ground, and the rain of arrows covered the Xianbei soldiers below, because it was a projectile, the arrow rain could pass over the shield, and immediately shot a group of Xianbei soldiers hiding behind the shield.

Zhao Yun and Tian Yu arranged for people to shoot sporadically, and on the other hand, they arranged for people to draw bows and shoot in an all-round way.

The arrows covered it, suppressing the trend of the Xianbei people to push upward.

"Throw more stones, throw dozens of explosives, and throw them out."

Yang Zhao ordered again.

The stones crashed down, knocking over many shields.

Explosives were also thrown, blowing away the Xianbei soldiers with shields in their hands.

In the Xianbei military camp below the heights, there was a sound of horns, they seemed to have changed the way of attacking, and the whole army retreated more than twenty steps, avoiding Yang Zhao's counterattack on the high ground, and there were archers pulling bows and throwing them.

The arrow broke through the air, and there was a sharp sound.

"Get out of the way!"

Yang Zhao shouted.

Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, let's pick up another batch of arrows." ”

Yang Zhao felt that the plan was feasible, so he ordered to leave it alone, and let the Xianbei people continue to throw, and more and more arrows were fired, either blocked by the shield or landed on the edge of the trench.

Yang Zhao arranged for the soldiers to be responsible for putting away these arrows.

When the collection was almost complete, the footsteps below approached, and I saw that the Xianbei people advanced to the range of thirty paces.

"Fight back!"

Yang Zhao shouted.

The Xianbei people no longer threw and suppressed, and wanted to use the fastest speed to cross the limits of the trenches and kill them.

Thirty paces away, they quickly advanced another ten.

After getting closer and closer, Yang Zhao's counterattack unfolded again, first throwing out the explosive bag, then pulling the bow and throwing it, shooting the Xianbei soldiers behind the shield, and finally sporadic gunshots.

The attack of the Xianbei people focuses on attrition.

If he sees that there is enough advantage, Sima Yi will order a strong attack, if he can't see the advantage, he will retreat a little, stabilize the formation, continue to consume Yang Zhao's materials, and no longer attack, that is, he will pull Yang Zhao to the end.

This offensive lasted a long time.

From the morning until the afternoon.

The Xianbei people pulled under Sima Yi's order, and they pulled for a long time, continuing to consume Yang Zhao, and it could be seen that the effect seemed to be good, and the fight was almost over, so they ordered to retreat.

Yang Zhao saw that Xianbei had withdrawn, and he exhaled again, allowing the whole army to rest temporarily.

"How many more stones do we have?"

Yang Zhao asked.

Tian Yu said: "Only half is left." ”

In the steppe area, it is a bit difficult to find stones.

They were digging trenches while moving defensive stones in other places, and these things, one less one, could not be replenished.

Yang Zhao said: "After using it for a few days, I only used half of it, which is not bad!" ”

Zhuge Liang suggested: "Lord, I think we can send troops out to pick up arrows, and we can tell the Xianbei people below that we may not even have enough arrows to show weakness." ”

Zhao Yun echoed: "Kong Ming's method sounds pretty good. ”

Yang Zhao also agreed: "Zilong, you take the soldiers out to pick it up and show weakness!" ”

"Good!"

Zhao Yun responded and said he would do it.

At once, he took a thousand men with them, and climbed over the north and south sides of the trench, picking up arrows scattered on the high slopes.

When picking up, he also threw those corpses down the high slope and waited for the Xianbei people to collect the corpses, and at the same time dragged back the other iron shields to strengthen their defenses.

Yang Zhao said again: "I hope that Fengxiao and them can come as soon as possible to save us from the dire situation." ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "We are not in dire straits, but the two gentlemen, Fengxiao and Wenhe, will definitely find a way to come as soon as possible, I don't know if the Xianbei people will come to attack again today." ”

It's not too early.

Yang Zhao felt that there would be no more strong attacks today, and the Xianbei people below also needed to rest, Sima Yi knew how to use soldiers, and it should not make the Xianbei soldiers fall into fatigue.

Unless Sima Yi doesn't treat the Xianbei people as people, he just uses them as cannon fodder to consume them.

——

"The gunfire on the high ground is getting weaker and weaker, Yang Zhao didn't shoot much just now, but counterattacked with arrows."

Sima Yi analyzed the situation of the battle just now, and said: "I didn't expect Yang Zhao to be so stable, not only brought a gun to go deeper, but also brought a bow and arrow, so it can be seen that Yang Zhao's ammunition may not be enough." ”

Murong Mo Hu Bao agreed: "Zhong Da's analysis is correct, the power of the gun is far better than the arrow, he doesn't use the gun to fight back, but uses the arrow, probably because of the lack of ammunition, he has to do this." ”

Hearing this, they were all a little excited.

Yang Zhao's supplies were insufficient.

Then here's their chance.

"Zhongda, come out and have a look."

Putou exclaimed.

When they went outside, they happened to see that Zhao Yun was leading his troops to pick up scattered arrows around the area, ready to reuse them.

"Steady!"

Sima Yi said with a smile.

Bu Dugen said excitedly: "In Yang Zhao's army, even arrows need to be picked up, haha...... It's really stable. ”

The other few Shan Yu were also very excited.

The more this is the case, the more it shows that Yang Zhao is currently in a predicament.

As long as they continue to drag the people who came to save Yang Zhao, it will not be difficult for them to trap Yang Zhao to death here.

Sima Yi said again: "Shan Yu, can you lend me another 20,000 people?" I want to increase my troops, delay the people who came to save Yang Zhao, and buy us time. ”

"No problem!"

There are so many of them, there are not many people in the tribe, and basically all the people can be soldiers, and it is easy to take another 20,000 people.

For these Hu people, as long as they are given enough women, they can breed a tribe at will, and as long as they think of defeating Yang Zhao, they can invade the rich Han, and they don't care about this sacrifice at all.
