Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 357 Start

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still dim.

In a burst of "Wu Dutou, Wudu Tou", like in the TV series "Water Margin", someone called Wu Song, Wu Erge in the voice.

The bewildered soldier woke up, muttering and cursing:
"What the hell! Who has no sense of public morality, turned the TV so loud early in the morning, watched such old movies, and let the inappropriate people sleep?"

Just when he yawned heavily, he opened his eyes and took a look.

But he saw a man in armor in front of him, the earthy city wall under him, and a large number of swords, guns, bows and arrows; what he smelled in his nose was also the smell of dew in the morning.

It was the soldier's dizzy head that gradually came to his senses.

right!I am not in the safe modern plane, the home where the mortgage will be paid off for many years; but I was pulled into the task world by the system, and I am performing a fatal system task.

To be more specific, it was last night because I was worried that some enemy troops would take advantage of the cover of night to steal the city in the middle of the night, so I led people to guard the city wall all night.

It was only when it was almost dawn that I found a corner and put on my clothes and squinted down.

As for the illusion that I was at home at the beginning, maybe it was because I dreamed of my wife and child whom I hadn't seen for a long time in my sleepy sleep, and I felt a little homesick.

Thinking about the food cooked by his wife, nagging, and the mischievousness and cuteness of the children all made this guy's mouth a warm smile for a while.

It's a pity that the ten-man general under the command of 'Wudu Tou' has been called in his mouth all the time.

Seeing that Wu Zu finally opened his eyes, he immediately pointed to the camp of the Jurchens outside the city, and said eagerly:
"Wudutou, there seems to be movement in the opposite camp~"

After hearing such a sentence, the soldiers immediately woke up in a jolt.

Even the thick eyeballs in the corners of his eyes, before he had time to wipe it off, he hurriedly got up, poked his head out, and looked out of the city.

All the thoughts about his family were suppressed at this moment.

no way!Although the Jurchens hadn't launched any attacks since they failed in their tentative attack with a thousand infantry around noon yesterday.

However, a large number of people were sent out to cut some wood from a long distance away, and then pulled it back with a cart.

After a whole night, there was a sound of "Ding Dang Dang ~"; after a little thought, one could tell that it must be building siege equipment overnight.

It's just that I didn't expect that these people's efficiency is so powerful. Could it be that they are all ready in one night?

Such a doubt, in the military pawn's subsequent observation with his head poked, gradually had some answers.

In the somewhat cold morning wind, there were at least four to five thousand young and strong people in ragged clothes, who were driven out from the side of the camp by a large number of Liao soldiers and a small number of Jurchens.

In the hands of these young and strong people, they did not hold knives and guns, but had many working tools such as hoes, shovels and baskets.

And there are also some young and strong hands holding a rough wooden shield that was temporarily processed from a thick tree trunk.

And the Jurchens and Liao soldiers who drove and guarded them did not see any ladders in their hands, and the necessary equipment for the siege were only some swords.

As for the legendary siege equipment such as shield chariots, rush chariots, nest chariots, watchtower chariots, etc., I haven't seen it at all.

Seeing this, Ting Yu Hanfeng and Lao Snake boasted more than once about the pawns who had been on the mission to defend Suifengdun in the late Ming Dynasty.

With a flash of inspiration in his head, he immediately reacted:

What the hell!The Jurchens are planning to drive the captive people to rush up all the way carrying the dirt on their backs, and fill up their moat first.

After it is filled up, it is probably the legendary ants attacking the city, right?

After thinking of this, Wu Zu frowned deeply.

Such a tactic is not new at all, but it is quite disgusting; if you shoot arrows, everyone is a Han Chinese compatriot, so it is really hard to do it.

If they don't shoot arrows, are they allowed to fill up the moat and break through the city defense?
So to shoot arrows, you must shoot arrows.

Just thinking of shooting arrows at the fellow Han people after a while, a huge flame rose in his heart inexplicably.

After gritting his teeth, he yelled loudly:
"All the ballistas are loaded immediately, the archers are ready, and the gong is knocked to notify Hu Xuanzan that the Jurchens are coming~"

In this way, amidst the sound of "Dangdangdang~", people actually found an empty space under the city wall to lie down and rest, and Hu Biao and others did not go far at all.

Immediately, under the collision of armor, they went to the city wall to support them.

From the appearance of the Jurchen army yesterday to the completion of the second phase of the mission, it seems that the several layers of heavy armor on the bodies of the netizens will not be removed.

Because the hidden arrows of the Jurchen archers are definitely more threatening than the 'armour-piercing wind'...

*******
"No! Their posture doesn't seem like they intend to fill the moat~" Hu Biao, who was lying on the wall, watched the movement outside the city for a while, and came up with such a conclusion.

Because when he rushed up in a hurry, he could find that a large group of people in a mess walked a certain distance towards Haiyang City, and this group of people was divided into three groups.

Among them, a group of about [-] people continued to move towards the city.

But the other two groups of people left and right towards Haiyang City, started to make a big circle respectively, and moved towards the east and west directions.

If it's just that, then it's nothing.

It can only show that these Jurchens have a big heart and want to fill up the moats on three sides of Haiyang City, and then launch a fierce attack at the same time, and come to a siege battle to encircle the city.

Immediately afterwards, when the common people were three miles away, they all stopped.

Among them, the people wielding hoes and shovels filled the baskets with soil.

Then, when the people carrying the dirt on their backs, under the protection of other people holding wooden shields in their hands, continued to advance all the way down the city, Hu Biao still felt normal at that time.

At this moment, he was even ready to order the archers on the city to shoot arrows after these people reached a hundred steps below the city.

Even if he didn't want to do it, he had to harden his heart.

The crux of the problem is that when the people who started charging at a distance of about 300 meters, they rushed to a position about 150 meters below the city.

They all stopped, hurriedly took down the basket behind them, and poured the soil in it on the ground.

And then, under the cover of the wooden shield, Hu Biao finally reacted when he was running and evacuating all the way towards the way he came from:
What the hell!The Jurchens are going to manually pile up a circle of soil outside the city, which is higher than the city wall of Haiyang City.

The amount of such a project is not small, but once it is successful, they immediately occupy a condescending advantage.

At that time, in the cross-shooting of bows and arrows, they will be the ones who will suffer; even the Jurchens can use old-fashioned catapults to throw stones into the city to destroy the city defense.

It's just that after thinking about this point, Hu Biao currently has few ways to deal with it.

At least there is no way to prevent these Jurchens from driving the people to keep piling up soil.

The reason is simple. Although the bow and arrow can be shot at a distance of 150 meters, it cannot penetrate the strong wooden shield in the opponent's hand.

Although the ballista can be used, but for a special ballista that requires a special shot for each shot, this kind of consumption is too much, and the reserves in the city can't support such a long battle.

As for sending cavalry to rush out to hack and kill?Don't even think about such things.

Because there is a team of 500 Jurchen cavalry, they have been cruising outside the range of the eight-ox crossbow on the city wall.

If some troops were mobilized in the city to take the initiative to attack out of the originally small force, then the Jurchens would be very happy to take the opportunity to entangle and eat them.

Hu Biao can see the problem, even if the netizens present are rookies such as stinky old farts, they have spent more than a month in the mission and fought two bloody battles, and they can also see it.

So they looked at Hu Biao one after another, waiting for this one to give an order.

Among the many eyes, Hu Biao could only curse out:
"Let's shoot the archers, anyway, our arrows should be enough; let's keep the ballista for now, it looks like it will be of great use in the future~"

Under such an order from Hu Biao, everyone on the city wall opened their bows and shot arrows one after another, and the dense rain of arrows greeted them.

But as expected, most of the arrows were blocked by those big wooden shields.

Veteran birds like AT, Singer, Old Hei, Old Snake, War Elephant, etc., as well as archers such as Yue Fei, can pass through the gap between the wooden shields and hit the target behind them.

The problem is that all the people shot to death in this process are civilians.

They were terrified because the people around them were being shot to death constantly. Apart from running back at a faster pace, they were soon driven by the Jurchen again, carrying a new basket of dirt on their backs.

Until they are completely exhausted, they are temporarily replaced by a new batch of people, or they are shot to death by arrows from the city.

So for these victories, apart from the huge humiliation and anger in Hu Biao's heart, they have no sense of accomplishment at all...
