Chapter 285: Running Out of Ammunition and Food

In order to ensure that the opponent had a bow and crossbow feathers available when attacking, the Sledgehammer God had to order the use of economy, and this economy made the Thorn Slaves more and more arrogant, and often sent archers to provocate under the city walls, and unscrupulously killed the defenders with longbows.

The number of wounded is also increasing.

Running out of medicines......

......

The scorched Sledgehammer Celestial God was waiting for the moment when Blackwater City fell.

However, what made the sledgehammer god strange was that on the twenty-eighth day when he was struggling, the attack of the thorn slave suddenly became weaker, and the frequency of the longbow shè hit became lower and lower.

For the consumption of arrow feathers, the Great Qin Empire can be said to have been prepared for a long time.

The Great Qin Empire had a complete bow and arrow manufacturing industry to meet the enormous consumption brought about by rapid shè strikes.

In the Zhanyun Continent, other countries that lack the unity of political power will not be able to complete such a heavy guarantee task. To deal with a cavalry charge, it is possible to hit three or four qi shè, followed by zìyóushè strikes. Take the battles recorded in the Great Qin Empire as an example, if an archer has the opportunity to fire 5 arrows during each charge of the enemy, then 7,000~10,000 people is 3.5~50,000 arrows.

In a battle, dozens of charges are commonplace, and throughout the war, the shè of bows and arrows has not stopped, and the arrow feathers used are as high as 50~800,000!

No one has ever counted the exact number. Later, someone described another battlefield as a ground full of feathers, like a heavy snow cover.

Could it be that the supplies of the thorn slaves have also dried up?

Immediately, the Sledgehammer God dispelled this thought.

Since they dare to blatantly set up camp not far from Blackwater City, it means that they have a very well-informed intelligence system, and they know the difficulties faced by Blackwater City.

It can be seen from the frequency of siege some time ago that the Thorn Slave people take turns shè arrows every day, which is a very planned consumption of the materials of Blackwater City, they are waiting, waiting for the moment when the Blackwater City army is disheartened, and then capture Blackwater City in one fell swoop, when the time comes, the southern gate of the Great Qin Empire will be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Thorn Slaves......

......

It has to be said that the Sledgehammer Celestial God is an extremely good general, and the adventure of the rich soldier is brave and courageous, although he cannot be sure of the plight faced by the army of assassins, but it does not mean that he will let go of this opportunity.

The Sledgehammer God began to send small groups of heavy armored cavalry to spy on the reality of the Assassin Army, and concentrated all the warriors on the city wall to use longbows to help those heavily armored cavalry, at this time, Blackwater City must cherish every arrow feather, so using the warrior as a longbow can increase efficiency.

The impact of heavily armored cavalry was terrifying, and it would be a disaster for the army of thorns to allow heavy cavalry to enter their camp.

The overwhelming arrow feathers are like a forest of ten thousand casters.

If they tried to charge repeatedly, soon, the rain of arrows of the Assassins was not so dense.

Could it be that their arrows are really almost exhausted?

The scene in front of him, in the eyes of the sledgehammer god who fell on the city wall, suddenly shook the sledgehammer god.

Although Blackwater City is almost at the end of the mountain, Blackwater City still has natural dangers to rely on, and the army of assassins is huge, coming from afar, if there is a problem with the supply, it will be a catastrophe.

The Sledgehammer God did not hesitate any longer, and immediately made a decision, and kept sending the sharpest cavalry of Blackwater City to provoke non-stop.

At this time, the Sledgehammer God could not care about cherishing those few arrow feathers, and ordered all the longbowmen to rush to the aid of the heavily armored cavalry that disturbed the army of assassins.

The method is very simple, a large number of tightly wrapped heavy armored cavalry keep disturbing around the Thorn Slave camp, once the Thorn Slave army encircles and suppresses, immediately return to Blackwater City, and those warrior longbowmen will use dense arrow rain to stop those chasing Thorn Slave cavalry.

Compared with the Great Qin heavy armored cavalry armed to the teeth, the Thorn Slave cavalry is really a little shabby, in order to pursue speed, they are all lightly armed, at most wearing some light leather armor, some people, even ordinary clothes, can not resist the sharp arrows of the Great Qin Empire at all.

On the other hand, the heavy armored cavalry of the Great Qin Empire, they were not only wrapped in a thick layer of armor, but also covered with thick armor on top of the war horses, and sharp arrows were not worn at all.

The only drawback of the heavy cavalry is that they lack mobility and cannot travel long distances, however, this does not affect the heavy cavalry of Blackwater, because they are fighting at home, and they have the support of archers composed of powerful warriors, and they can return at any time.

Moreover, except for a very small number of stabbing slave martial arts masters, the general stabbing slave cavalry did not dare to approach the heavy armored cavalry at all, because the heavy armored cavalry of the Great Qin Empire were all one in a thousand wrestlers, they were not only invulnerable, but also infinitely powerful, and the weapons they held were all heavy weapons, as long as they touched, they were seriously injured if they did not die. It is said that some wrestlers are born with divine powers, and even ordinary warriors cannot match them.

In some classic battles of the Great Qin Empire, there were once three heavily armored cavalry who rushed into the barracks and killed hundreds of infantry.

In the Great Qin Empire, the heavy armored cavalry has always been a killer weapon, and it costs a lot to train a heavy armored cavalry, and its equipment alone exceeds millions of imperial coins, whether it is a war horse or armor, it is a careful selection.

In Blackwater City, there are less than 1,000 heavy armored cavalry, and the Sledgehammer Heavenly God has never used heavy armored cavalry, because this cavalry is the last hope of Blackwater City.

Now, the Sledgehammer Celestial God does not hesitate to use heavy armored cavalry to fight against the water.

It is extremely risky to use heavy armored cavalry, because, no matter how powerful the heavy armored cavalry is, they are only cavalry, not the immortal god of war, they will also die, not to mention, they are facing hundreds of thousands of troops.

In less than a day, 200 heavy armored cavalry and 1,000 heavy armored cavalry died, a fifth of which was lost.

If two hundred ordinary soldiers died, it would naturally be insignificant, but in just one day, two hundred heavy armored cavalry would die, and if it spread to the interior of the Great Qin Empire, I was afraid that the whole empire would be shocked.

The Great Qin heavy armored cavalry, among the people of the Great Qin Empire, is an undefeated myth, and in peacetime, the death of even a heavy armored cavalry will become the news of the Great Qin Empire.

The Sledgehammer God does not stop attacking, even if it is desperate, even if Blackwater City falls, he must seize this opportunity, this is his only hope at the moment.

Now, what the Sledgehammer Heavenly God is most worried about is that when the other party is captured, he will use this method to consume the strength of Blackwater City.

The Sledgehammer Gods have no choice.

Now, Blackwater City has reached the time of a battle, if the army of assassins does not encounter problems, then the fall of Blackwater City is only a matter of time.

The Sledgehammer God guessed that the army of thorn slaves was in trouble, but he never dreamed that the army of thorn slaves would encounter the same problem as him.

Zhao Yuan's Jīng Ying squad caused great damage to Shan Yu's logistics, and many tribes that transported grain, grass and weapons for Shan Yu's army were attacked and burned by Zhao Yuan.

At the beginning, Zhao Yuan's lightning attack did not attract Shan Yu's attention, because, at that time, Shan Yu was strong and strong, and there was plenty of food and grass, but when it was more than 20 days, Shan Yu was shocked to find that the bows and arrows they consumed could not be compensated, and the food was also exhausted, and there was actually a point of slaughtering war horses to satisfy hunger.

What about the loyal tribes?

At this time, Shan Yu discovered that the rangers of the Great Qin Empire, who had not been valued by him, actually burned and looted on a large scale in the hinterland of the grassland, and in just about 20 days, they actually destroyed the camps of more than 100 tribes, and most of them were tribes that provided logistics supplies for Shan Yu.

Compared with the vast and resourceful Great Qin Empire, the barren thorn slaves did not produce bow wood, because the industry was backward, and even metal arrowheads could not be produced on a large scale, and some weapons were accumulated little by little over the years.

For this invasion of the Great Qin Empire, as early as twenty years ago, Shan Yu was planning at every turn, ordering some tribes to reserve strategic materials on a large scale in case of emergency, but twenty years of preparation was burned by Zhao Yuan......
