Chapter 409: Follow Me

Knock knock knock......

But at this moment, the rapid sound of war drums suddenly came.

Looking down, I saw that the people of the Taiping Heavenly Army had begun to retreat, and it turned out that this was the drumbeat of the retreat of the Taiping Heavenly Army.

At this point, the first battle between the Pingyang Army, the Armor-Breaking Army and the Taiping Heavenly Army came to an end for the time being, and the Pingyang Army and the Armor-Breaking Army won a complete victory, with almost no losses in the army.

On the other hand, on the side of the Taiping Heavenly Army.

"How many soldiers have been lost?" , Blackheart Tiger asked, his calm face indicating that he was in a bad mood at the moment.

After the dog-headed military advisor cautiously glanced at the black-hearted tiger, Fang said in a low voice: "General Tian, it has been counted, and it is estimated that more than 5,000 soldiers have been lost. ”

More than 5,000!

Hearing this, Black-Hearted Tiger's face sank even more.

Although he said that his attack on Anyi County today was mainly for the purpose of temptation, and he did not have the intention of capturing Anyi County in one fell swoop, and he also expected that there would be casualties, but he lost more than 5,000 people without even climbing the opponent's city wall, which was far more than he expected, and the other party probably would not lose 100 people!

As soon as he thought of this, he felt uncomfortable and couldn't accept it!

The cause of all this is the arrow feathers that fell from the sky!

Thinking of this, the black-hearted tiger couldn't help but look at the dog-headed military division and asked: "The arrow feathers shot into the sky over there in Anyi County are so dense, when our side attacks, before we reach the city wall, we will inevitably be shot into hedgehogs and suffer heavy losses, what good way do you have to avoid this?" ”

There is no need for him to die in Anyi County, if the loss of attacking Anyi County is too huge, he will definitely give up attacking Anyi County and return to Yongfeng County to make plans again.

The kobold military master thought for a moment before he said, "General Tian, we can issue a shield to everyone, as long as the imperial court shoots arrows, our side only needs to raise the shield to ensure that life will not be harmed." ”

Hearing this, the black-hearted tiger only felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he didn't know what he thought, but it dimmed.

I saw that he frowned and said, "Although the idea is good, you also know that we don't have so many shields." ”

It seems that he had expected the black-hearted tiger to ask such a question, and the dog-headed military advisor saw him smile, without thinking about it, and said directly: "General Tian, we don't have a shield to make ourselves, we don't need the kind of iron, and we don't have this ability now, we just need to cut down trees and simply make a shield out of wood, and when the time comes, as long as we lift it above our heads, we can block most of the arrow feathers, as for ...... We don't have to worry about running out of wood, and about twenty miles to the left from here we will see a grove of trees, which are not very large, but they are enough to support our needs. ”

"Good! Very good! Very good! The black-hearted tiger was immediately overjoyed.

The dog-headed military master smiled slightly, and then continued: "Actually, General Tian, you don't have to worry too much about the matter of arrow feathers, if I guess correctly, there shouldn't be many arrow feathers left on the side of Anyi County." ”

"Oh? What does this say? Blackheart Tiger asked suspiciously.

The dog-headed military advisor explained: "There are two reasons, one is that someone just came to report that they saw the city gate opened in Anyi County and sent some soldiers out to clean up the arrow feathers that had been shot, thinking that it was because the arrow feathers in the city were insufficient. ”

"Second, as far as I know, there are actually two armies in Anyi County, namely the Pingyang Army and the Armor-Breaking Army, both of which are from the capital, and there are not many archers in these two armies, and the arrow feathers carried should not be prepared too much, so many arrow feathers have been shot out today, I'm afraid it's almost bottomed out now."

The Black-Hearted Tiger nodded thoughtfully, then called one of his henchmen and ordered, "You wait and lead five thousand soldiers to the woods twenty miles away on the left, and cut down some trees." ”

Although the henchman was confused, he still said respectfully: "Yes! General Heaven. ”

......

Anyi County, Hall.

The senior officers of the Pingyang Army and the Armor-Piercing Army only had time to wash up, and after eating something, they were called over after a few moments.

Xiao Shuyi's eyes looked at Lu Ningning and Chen Xi, and asked, "What about the casualties this time?" ”

Lu Ningning first stood up, clenched her fists and said: "General Hui, the Pingyang Army suffered a total of thirty-seven casualties, thirty-four dead, and three wounded. ”

Then, it was Chen Xi who stood up and said, "General Hui, the armor-breaking army suffered a total of forty-three casualties, forty-one dead and two wounded. ”

The casualties caused by the Pingyang Army and the Armor-Breaking Army this time were almost all because of the two stone-throwing vehicles of the Taiping Heavenly Army, and the soldiers hit by the stone-throwing trucks were not to mention being smashed, and even if they were rubbed, they would be seriously injured and there was no cure, so it was better to die directly.

Xiao Shuyi nodded with a serious face, and then ordered: "Remember the names of these warriors, take care of their future, and after returning to the capital, send the bereavement to their families." ”

"Yes! Checkmate! Lu Ningning and Chen Xi said respectfully, and their expressions were quite serious.

Next, we discussed important matters in light of the current situation, and it didn't look like it was intense.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Ningning stood up again, looked at Xiao Shuyi, clasped her fists and said, "General, now our army's stock of arrow feathers is insufficient. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Shuyi couldn't help frowning her somewhat heroic brows slightly, and asked, "Ning Ning, how many arrow feathers do our army still have now?" ”

Lu Ningning replied: "General Hui, before this, the last general had already ordered some people to open the city gate and go out to pick up some arrow feathers, but even so, our army now has less than 10,000 arrow feathers. ”

Xiao Shuyi's brows furrowed even deeper.

The arrow feathers are already insufficient, so how to defend against the attack of the Taiping Heavenly Army next?

The use of stones and gold water is far inferior to arrow feathers, can it really only wait for the enemy army to attack the city wall and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them?

Although they all believed that both the quality of individual soldiers and the coordination between teams were much better than the miscellaneous armies of the Taiping Heavenly Army, the Taiping Heavenly Army was several times their number, and the casualties caused by hand-to-hand combat were much greater than those caused by archery at a distance.

Therefore, if they could, they naturally didn't want to engage the Taiping Heavenly Army on the city wall, but the current situation was ......

Thinking of this, the rest of the people in the hall couldn't help frowning.

At this point, the hall became very silent.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Li Anyi, who had not made a sound, suddenly coughed a few times at this time, which immediately attracted everyone's attention to himself.

I saw that he said: "I have a way to solve the problem of insufficient arrow feathers." ”

"What's the solution?"

Xiao Shuyi's eyes lit up suddenly, he had never let himself down, as long as there was a way, there must be a way, and this method often exceeded her expectations.

"Follow me", Li Anyi smiled mysteriously.
