My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 399 The Battle of Northern Border III

Ashinamo struggled to explain the reason clearly.

In addition to Talmu's intercession on the side, although King Lu believed the reason, he still rode his horse to the front line to watch with a slightly skeptical attitude.

King Du Lu and the dozen or so generals under his command also felt scalp numb looking at the densely packed arrows on the battlefield.

Ashina took a deep breath: "Is the guard of Yingzhou City still arrogant? Could it be possible to change people? The tentative attack of 5000 people actually consumed nearly [-] arrows. Zhang Kuang absolutely can't do that." Crazy thing."

"Your Majesty, the scouts in Yingzhou must have reported the news that we brought siege equipment to the generals. They must know that this will be a protracted battle. Why are the arrows in the city so consumed? Could it be that he is crazy?"

"Yes, my lord, four arrows are exchanged for one of our warriors. How many arrows does the treasury of Yingzhou City have? This is only the first day. The food and grass provided by the Golden Emperor is enough for us to fight for about two months. Such consumption of arrows Could it be that the guards of Yingzhou City are planning to fight to the death with their backs?"

"Look, my lord, those six-foot crossbow bolts are also different from the previous ones. They are at least two feet longer. The most frightening thing is their penetrating power. Your Majesty looked to the left and directly penetrated three war horses." It’s unimaginable if it hits a human body.”

Ashinamo looked at the corpses of the soldiers under his command with a gloomy expression: "Chigutai, go to the front of the army and ask who is the guard of Yingzhou city? This king does not believe that Zhang Kuang can do such a thing of self-destructing the city."

"Follow the order."

Chigutai rode his horse towards Yingzhou City, and stopped slowly: "The commander of Chigutai, I came to inquire under the order of my king Ashinamo. Is the guard of Yingzhou General Zhang, the protector of the country?"

"Wait!"

A soldier protruded from the city wall and replied.

Zhancha Kungfu Zhang Kuang stood on the top of the city in military uniform: "Tell Ashinamo that the guard of Yingzhou is still his old 'friend' General Longwuwei Zhang Kuang.

Chigutai glanced at Zhang Kuang on the city wall, and turned his horse around.

"Wait a moment."

Chi Gutai reined in his horse and looked back: "King Duo Lu sent someone to collect the corpse."

Chigutai's face was red, and he galloped away with his horse's belly.

After hearing Chigutai's report, Ashinamo looked puzzled: "This man Zhang Kuang never fights uncertain battles. Why is his fighting style so different today?"

"My lord, is Zhang Kuang doing this intentionally, trying to scare us away with the power of thunder, but in fact, he is strong from the outside and doing nothing in the middle, and there are not many arrows in the city?"

The Turkic people didn't know about this. The general prisoner in Yingzhou City was pouring arrowheads without delay, and thousands of arrowheads were poured out of [-] molds every hour.

Although the watered arrowheads are not as wear-resistant and durable as the tried-and-tested arrowheads, they cannot stop their high output.

It was for this reason that Young Master Liu gave Zhang Kuang a so-called kit.

It is very easy to make arrows. If you can’t fight with the Turks, don’t fight with the Turks. If there are no arrows, we can make more than a dozen with one mold, but the lives of the soldiers are really gone.

If you are poor, you will be interspersed with strategies, and if you are rich, you will be covered by arrows.

Just like the Qin State back then, every place was routinely covered by a wave of arrows, hundreds of thousands of arrows, even if ten arrows shot one person, it would not be a disadvantage.

In addition to the strengths of the eight-ox crossbow, the truth is within the range, and the Turks will be attacked long-range before the ammunition and food are exhausted, and they will never be desperate.

Young Master Liu has always been a life-saving person, from his reluctance to contact the officialdom at the beginning, it can be seen how much he cherishes his life. Of course, people who cherish life do not want to see their compatriots go to death.

If the more than 4 arrows only shot and killed more than 3000 enemies before, the intestines would turn green with regret, but now it is different. In a word, there are many arrows, and you will be willful.

More arrows make arrow making faster and more willful.

Can't help Yingzhou like this, the generals in the other five cities are also rushing to make feather arrows day and night.

Ashinamo turned his horse around: "Today, I was careless. The official siege shield soldiers should not be as reckless as today. In addition, we must find a way to lure the arrogant people out of the city, otherwise our advantages will not be brought into play."

"About collecting the corpse?"

"Chigutai, you send someone to bring back the remains of the warriors."

Seeing thousands of unarmed people coming from the Turkic camp, he beckoned to Ke Yan who was beside him: "Bring back the remains of the soldiers and bury them respectfully."

"Yes."

"Zhong Ming, send someone to collect the arrows, as many as you can get back."

"Follow the order."

The most peaceful time after the war between the two armies is when the corpses are collected. Although the winter is severe, the plague may not happen.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, once the plague is rampant, everyone will die.

That's why people on both sides will strike a truce and arrange for the soldiers who died in battle first.

Zhang Kuang watched the corpses being moved away and sighed: "Ashnamo, the winter is cold, green and yellow are not harvested, the horses are emaciated, and the soldiers are tired. Using soldiers at this time is definitely a taboo for military strategists. How much interest do you have?" The heart will choose this time to go to war, the gold and silver of the Golden Emperor is not as good as the lives of soldiers?"

Zhang Kuang's views are surprisingly consistent with Hu Yanyu's. King Du Lu and King Shi Bi are really short-sighted.

It is simply foolish to give up the army when the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and choose to send troops when the soldiers are weak and the horses are weak.

However, his misfortune was the great dragon's luck, and he had an absolute advantage in defending the city.
