Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 416 The first siege of the Jiangnan camp

Sure enough, things developed as the Han army expected.

These 'soldiers' holding farm tools in their hands and just a few wooden boards tied to their bodies were blocked from advancing before they reached the moat.

"Fire arrows!"

Following the order, arrows poured down like rain on the enemies below the city.

"what!"

In just a moment, many enemies fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

Obviously the few wooden boards on their bodies did not provide them with good defense.

However, the performance of these soldiers really surprised Lu Yulin and others.

Because they were accompanied by casualties, these apparently ragtag soldiers not only did not escape, but also accelerated their charge forward.

Thanks to the wooden boards installed on the wooden carts, their defense power has increased a lot, which at least gave them the courage to attack.

Soon, the enemy came to the river.

At this time, the enemy was only ten feet away from the city wall, and the archers' arrows were more accurate.

For a time, screams were everywhere.

Seeing this, some enemies mustered up the courage to jump into the river and then swim to the other side.

"This??"

Lu Yulin and the other generals couldn't help but shake their heads and look at each other.

Do not understand!

They are puzzled!

No!

Why is that?

But at this time, the arrow rain continued, and the Han army's archers did not care about the enemies who jumped into the river, but only shot at the enemies on the river bank.

And it is constantly extending the projectile backwards, pursuing greater damage.

After all, the enemy has brought the roasted meat to their mouths, and it is impossible not to eat it.

"what!"

Surprisingly, these people did not collapse at all in the face of such heavy casualties. They charged with roars and then jumped into the river.

At the same time, ladders, cars, etc. were also pushed into the river.

Soon the first enemy came ashore, and he immediately rushed towards the city wall.

"call out!"

"boom!"

On the city wall, the sound of the bowstring of the iron bow was accompanied by the sharp sword, which instantly shot him through. The wooden plank on his body had no effect at all.

Because it was not a fatal blow, the enemy still struggled to crawl forward after screaming to the end.

However, no one was impressed by his fighting will, because the Han army discovered that the enemy had rushed across the moat, and then charged towards the city wall carrying ladders.

Some enemies, who had been hit by several arrows but were still alive, were also among those charged.

Although their speed was pitifully slow, the number of enemies seemed to increase significantly when they were mixed in with the crowd.

It's just that the soldiers of the Han army didn't understand. They jumped into the turbid river water after receiving their injuries. These people really didn't want their lives.

Don't they know that even if they survive this battle, they will fall into a weak state due to excessive blood loss before the battle is over, and eventually the wounds will suppurate and die?

However, they did not understand that the Han soldiers completely ignored these enemies and only shot arrows at the able-bodied enemies.

The distance between the moat and the city wall is very close, only eight feet.

So the enemy quickly rushed to the base of the city wall, then set up ladders and began to attack.

However, there was no need to wait for them to climb up the ladder and fight back with stones and rolling logs. The enemy was already pinned to the wall by the archers.

As for the function of the ladder, it is probably just a posture, right?

Soon, the enemies were eliminated, and no one could stand up as far as the eye could see.

Although the Han soldiers could see that some of the fallen enemies were still struggling and trying to get up to attack, they were unable to stand up after being hit by arrows.

"Ouch!"

"Help!"

Many wailing sounds continued to sound on the battlefield, which was really tragic.

At first glance, there were about 1000 people lying on the corpse.

"Douse all the ladders with kerosene and burn them!"

With the order, these ladders were burned to the ground.

It can be said that these ladders are no longer useful.

................

At this time, Yishan, who was not far from the city, also looked at the attack with an ugly expression.

"A whole army of soldiers is just gone?"

This is what Fan Xiangou is afraid of. Although he has witnessed many cruel scenes and participated in battles to attack villages and towns.

But after all, he had never seen such a cruel scene.

In less than three cups of tea, an entire army was killed in battle, and he couldn't help but be horrified.

Even though he felt that he was already cruel, after seeing this kind of battle, he could only feel that his cruelty was not on the table at all.

He had also heard that Daqian and the Bailian rebels were fighting fiercely, with hundreds of thousands of people dying in a month. At that time, he was quite disdainful. After all, if there were hundreds of thousands of people, it would take a long time to chop them with a knife!

After all, they were originally fighting for territory, and hundreds of people fought in a melee. In the end, only a few unlucky ones died.

So he also thought that he had seen a lot, but that was definitely impossible.

But looking at the current situation, 1000 people were gone in the blink of an eye.

If the fight continues at this rate, the servant army will be gone in one day, the Jiangnan camp will be gone in three days, and they will be dead in seven or eight days.

Therefore, Fan Xiangou now has a feeling of fear that many people will die in the past few days.

I saw his legs trembling, and I felt discouraged.

However, Yishan didn't care about Fan Xiangou's performance at this time. After all, it was okay for these people to use underhanded tactics, but it was better for him to let them direct the battle.

At least, he still has some military skills.

So he asked: "What do you think?"

The commander-in-chief immediately responded: "Prince Qi, the enemy is well prepared and there must be no shortage of defensive materials. Just based on their performance, I saw them shoot five arrows. It was like rain. It was extremely terrifying."

"According to this calculation, they can shoot so many arrows without feeling any distress at this time, so they must have a lot of arrows, so this attack can be continued at least twenty times."

The commander's words did not frighten others, but rather frightened Fan Xiangou.

According to this, just these arrows can kill at least 2 people!

If there are more, thirty or forty thousand or even fifty or sixty thousand is not impossible.

So, he became even more afraid.

At this time, another commander-in-chief said: "This attack was hasty, the servant army was poorly prepared, and we had nothing to conveniently cross the river. This has a huge impact."

"Yes," a general soldier nodded and said, "Your Majesty, even if the servant army is used for consumption, it shouldn't be like this."

"When attacking, we should prepare shield vehicles, enough shields, and enough sand and gravel. It is best to be able to fill the moat."

"I did some calculations. It only takes two servant troops, half a bag of sand and gravel, and two changes to fill a passage about ten feet wide."

"Of course, if the moat is too deep, you may need to make more trips."

"As long as we can expand a passage several feet wide, the attack will be much smoother, at least not so many people will die at once."

Yishan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, send three general troops to fill in the sand and gravel from three places."

"Others, continue to build the camp. You must ensure that the camp is completed before night. Don't let the Han thieves sneak attack us."

Then he turned to look at Fan Xiangou and asked, "Military advisor, what do you think?"

At this time, Fan Xiangou listened to the analysis of the general soldiers and was no longer so afraid, so when faced with Yishan's question, he held up his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, I think the commander-in-chiefs are right, and your decision is even wiser."
