Chapter 1204 - There Was Never a Choice
The vast rain of arrows is really like raindrops, and the point is that the place where the big leader of the Wangbu is standing is relatively high, so he can see very clearly that the archers of the Tang Dynasty are still far away, I am afraid that the range of their bows and arrows is at least twice as long......
How the hell is this done.
If the opponent's arrows have such a deterrent effect, how can their army get close to the enemy? Do you just rush out and fight the enemy?
Look at the heavily armed soldier with a shield at the front, how can the soldiers of their tribe fight each other? With most of the wooden spears in their hands?
Even if they don't have those shields, the other party is full of steel armor! It's not a level at all.
What's more, the other party doesn't seem to have the idea of advancing at all, the soldiers near the city wall are already frightened, and many soldiers have retreated to the point of moving away from the city wall, even so, at that time, the bed crossbow arrows that directly penetrate the city wall and shoot into the city will still take the lives of more than a dozen people!
The whole walled city was full of miserable screams, and they should have been brave, because in the mountains, they couldn't survive if they weren't brave enough, but bravery didn't mean that they weren't afraid of death, the point was that if they fought with the enemy, they would forget it. 、
And now the enemy is still a hundred meters away, and they ...... But he can only passively and watch himself constantly being shot to death by the enemy!
Finally, there was a dull sound of footsteps outside the city, and the Tang army in bright armor in the distance moved! It's like a steel wall, neatly pressing in the direction of the entire town.
But they still couldn't get close to the wall, which was still covered in a rain of arrows.
As the thousands of soldiers in front of the enemy approached the walls, the longbowmen who followed behind also began to advance, throwing arrows from their hands as they went.
The speed at which the longbowmen shot their arrows had slowed, but the rain of arrows continued to extend farther and farther.
The great leader of the Wangbu is faced with a choice, surrender, or be attacked by the enemy!
Seeing that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had begun to slash the city wall with the big knife in their hands, some of the city walls that had been smashed by the bed crossbow had been broken open, and the enemy could soon get into the city, and their soldiers couldn't get close now.
"Surrender! We surrender to the Tang Dynasty. The Grand Leader of the Lookout finally closed his eyes and spoke loudly.
With his words, the guards who followed the big leader finally came back to their senses, and they also shouted, and as the sound of "surrender" resounded throughout the city, countless soldiers knelt directly on the ground.
The deadly rain of arrows finally stopped, and the great leader of the Wangbu looked at the blood-stained ground, and he felt a sense of relief, the ground was already full of arrows, and the arrows from all angles were like grass growing on the ground.
Many arrows were still stuck in the bodies of the soldiers in the lookout department, and some of the soldiers who were still alive were still making miserable snorts.
Confirming that the entire Wangbu had surrendered, Zhang Liang was still a little dissatisfied, this feeling of being covered by a rain of arrows was too good, and he had just asked the follow-up support troops to bring up the second wave of arrows.
As a result, they fell before the second wave of arrows arrived.
"Order the conscripts to cooperate with the troops to treat the soldiers of these Wangbu." Zhang Liang paused, but still gave an order.
After training in the military academy, Zhang Liang also understood a lot, as for whether his thinking has changed or not, it doesn't matter, as long as he remembers to carry out orders.
Some personalities want to change, and it is difficult for these generals of the older generation, but it doesn't matter, the new generation of generals is constantly growing, and when they grow up, it will be much easier.
What should be treated is still to be treated, because in the future, this is the ruling area of the Tang Dynasty, if you don't want these people to hate the Tang Dynasty for generations, then the necessary Huairou policy is right.
Although Zhang Liang had already understood the soldiers under his command, it was actually impossible to expect them to hate the Tang Dynasty in their time, because such war casualties were normal in the hearts of these mountain people.
They have long been numb, and at most the families of these dead soldiers may be resentful, but no one can satisfy anyone, as long as they can satisfy the majority.
As long as most of the people here are better off than before, the remaining small number of people can not care at all, if they want to rebel, they don't even need to be stopped by the Tang Dynasty, and some of their own villagers stop them.
As the soldiers began to treat these Wangbu soldiers, Zhang Liang also raised his legs and prepared to enter the city.
Taking the Wangbu means that the next step will be to face the people and the city of the country of Pi.
……
Hou Junji has already obtained casualty statistics in his hands, the enemy's casualties are about to reach nearly 2,000, about to reach one-fifth, and among these 2,000 people, there are more than 1,000 people who have died, although the remaining injuries have been treated by the military doctors of the Tang Dynasty.
But how much they will survive, no one knows.
The number of casualties among the Tang soldiers was 87, of which six were killed, and only one was seriously wounded, while the others were lightly wounded.
There is no invincible existence on the battlefield, even if the army of the Tang Dynasty is armed to the teeth, under the same dense arrow attack of the other party, there is always bad luck, and the one who kills the most people on the battlefield is probably the stray arrow.
Everyone in the entire Matsube was in awe when they faced the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty at this moment, and the focus was ...... Datang's treatment of them made everyone a little surprised and stunned.
The first is that the Datang soldiers rescued their soldiers who were hit by arrows, instead of letting them save people themselves, and not just rescued, judging from the other party's rescue methods, the other party was obviously serious about saving people. At least many of the people whose arrows didn't hit the point were quickly managed to stop the bleeding and treat their wounds.
With the degree of bandaging of the other party, it is obviously more professional than their own.
This made them all a little dazed, according to their previous experience, or the result of their own conflicts with other tribes, they were often directly thrown to the defeated people to save people themselves, whether they could survive or not, it was up to them.
Victorious, who will care if you live or die? It's too late to grab so many good things.
But the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty first rescued people, and after saving people, they began to let those captured soldiers clean up the battlefield.
Pile up the corpses, and then cremate, and then all the arrows begin to be recycled, continue to use what can be used, and recover arrows that can't be used, wait until the arrow shaft is made, and then install it, if the arrow is damaged, go back and reforge it.
These are all things to be done by the logistics troops, and they have nothing to do with them.
It's just that what these captured soldiers didn't expect even more was that Hou Junji really let them all go after taking them down and explaining to them!
