Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 351 The Arrival of Yingbu
Chapter 351 The Arrival of Yingbu
At the gate of Daying, Long Qie Jibu and others were anxious.

Thanks to their efforts, all the fires were finally extinguished, and they are now carefully counting the damage.

Long Qie and others were worried about the food and grass being burned, but Zhang Liang was more worried about the wood that was swallowed in the camp.

After burning the wood, if you want to make a large number of trebuchets, you have to start again, so the time spent is not only 01:30.

You know, all the big trees within a few miles around Xingyang have been chopped down by them.If there is no such batch of wood, no matter whether he is making trebuchets or siege equipment, he needs to cut down on the mountains more than [-] miles away from Xingyang.

And if there is no trebuchet, which is a disgusting thing, it will not be so easy to win Xingyang City by relying on crowd tactics.

The operation went smoothly. The camps in the east, west and north camps were empty at this time, and the wood inside was easily burned up by the kerosene carried by the Black Ice Platform, and burning the tents was just an incidental action of them.

In the camp of the Chinese army, apart from the strict security of food and grass, there is not much defense against these woods that can be seen everywhere. Therefore, a lot of wood stored in the camp of the Chinese army was not discovered by the surrounding soldiers until the flames were all over the place.

After all, at this time, everyone's minds were on the fire in Xingyang City.

After setting off the fire, all the soldiers withdrew from the coalition camp unscathed and hid again.

Hearing that the grain and grass had not been burned, Long Qie's heart was finally relieved.

"General! There seems to be a master in this detailed work of the Qin army!" Zhang Liang sighed and said worriedly.

"Oh? Where did Zifang come from? If there is an expert in this meticulous work, he should burn the food and grass while we are relaxing, but this Qin army's meticulous work burned some useless wood and other things. You know, this Wood is everywhere in the mountains and plains, even if it is burned, we can continue to ask someone to cut it down." The food and grass were not burned, and Long Qi was in a good mood.

If there is no food and no troops, the Central Plains is raging with war. If there is no food and grass, how can these soldiers be so willing to sacrifice their lives.

As long as you have food in your hands, you are not afraid that you will not be able to recruit soldiers.

"The general's words are wrong," Zhang Liang said helplessly.

"Why? It's okay to talk about the ovary." Xiang Liang said in surprise.

"Our army's food and grass are guarded by heavy soldiers. Even if these fine works can be set on fire, they will be discovered and extinguished by the army immediately. However, this timber was neglected. Now all the trees near our army have been cut down. Now it is stored in the camp. All the timber in the fire was burned, and if our army wanted to make catapults and siege equipment, it would have to be cut down more than twenty miles away. Does the general know?" Zhang Liang sighed.

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, Long Qi also reacted.

They were able to gain such an advantage before, relying on the strength of the trebuchet to suppress the Qin army by relying on weak soldiers.

Without the catapults and siege equipment, it is obviously impossible to take down the small city of Xingyang within a day or two.

But now the catapults and siege equipment were destroyed and burned by the cavalry of the Qin army, and there were not many left in the camp.

If you want to siege the city, how can you get on the city wall without the siege equipment within the ladder?
How to break through the city gate without hitting the city cone?

The most important thing is that without the cover of the catapult, the Qin army can defend the city wall unscrupulously.

It would be fine if the army had strong bows, but with the only crossbows in the army, I am afraid that the Qin army only needs one round of crossbows on the city wall to destroy them.

Now all the wood stored in the camp has been burned. If the things in the catapult are to be recreated, the trees must be felled again.

But twenty miles away, let alone whether the journey is far or short, just transporting it back in this hot weather may be a very troublesome problem.

"These Qin troops are really full of tricks!" Long Qi sighed.

"What should I do now? Mr. Zifang" Long Qie was anxious and asked hastily.

"For the current plan, we can only give up the catapult. When I bring back the wood to make the catapult, I am afraid that reinforcements from the Qin army will also arrive. Fortunately, the large shields and other things in the army have not lost much. The ladder is still there. Quite a few, now the only way is to attack by force, General!" Zhang Liang said helplessly.

"General, general, general!"

As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, a burst of eager and excited shouts came from outside the big tent.

"What's the matter?"

"General Qi, General Yingbo is here with [-] reinforcements."

"What?" Long Qi suddenly got up and walked a few steps and grabbed the guard and asked.

"General, General Yingbo is here." The guard said excitedly.

"Yingbo is here? Take me there quickly, I want to meet him in person." Long Qie's voice hadn't finished yet, but Yingbo's voice had already sounded outside the big tent.

"Brother Long Qi!"

Hearing Ying Bu's voice, Long Qi quickly opened the big tent and walked out quickly, his eyes were full of excitement.

When the reinforcements arrive, they will really be worry-free.

After a series of fights, only 20 of their 7 troops remained. Although the Qin army in the city suffered heavy casualties, there were still at least [-] to [-] people.

The odds of winning between [-] and [-] to [-] are really small, especially since they don't have such sharp weapons as trebuchets.

Now that there are Yingbu reinforcements, their strength can basically reach one to two compared with the Qin army. If there are more trebuchets, they can definitely eat Xingyang.

If Xingyang is breached, it will definitely be a crucial blow to the demise of Qin.

"Stop the siege and reward the whole army tonight." Long Qie said loudly while holding Yingbu on his arm.

"Here!"

The guards next to him were extremely happy.

When the news came out, the army suddenly burst into cheers, as if they had not lost the battle today but won a big victory.However, in today's short battle of one or two hours, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

For the first time since the start of the war, Long Qie hosted a banquet in honor of the generals in the army.

However, the atmosphere of the banquet was a bit weird.

All the survivors of the Six Kingdoms and all the generals in the army praised Yingbu's arrival with one voice, then this battle will surely win, it seems that as soon as he goes out again in the next moment, Xingyang City has already been broken, and then Yinggang's head has been delivered to Longqie.

The happier they were, the more nervous Zhang Liang was.

The previous fight made them understand that this Qin army is indeed difficult to deal with.

Now even with the addition of Yingbo's [-] army, their chances of winning are only one point more.

Without a trebuchet, attacking a city by manpower alone is simply hitting a stone with an egg.

It's a pity that everyone is in the mood, and I can't pour cold water on it.

Morale has always been the key to the army, and now they have suffered heavy losses, but the morale has not slackened in the slightest, which is the key to victory.

Therefore, even though I was a little worried, I could only swallow the words in my stomach.
