How to do?
Including Fang Yuanwu, everyone in the camp was thinking hard.

"That's all."

After a while, Fang Yuanwu spread his hands with a wry smile.

"Let the engineers repair quickly, and count as much as they can repair; at the same time, immediately dismantle other positions to make up for those that cannot be repaired. We must ensure the suppression power of the trebuchet position against the enemy."

"General," someone looked embarrassed and couldn't help but want to speak, "but..."

"It's nothing." Fang Yuanwu raised his palm immediately, without giving his subordinates a chance to speak.

"Also, quickly send someone to carefully inspect the second and third positions and all the baggage in the warehouse."

"Attention," he banged on the table vigorously, "it is all the luggage, not limited to trebuchets and light and heavy crossbows, but also large and small crossbow bolts, stone bullets, kerosene, etc."

"As long as there is damage or rust is too serious, and..."

Speaking of this, Fang Yuanwu opened his mouth hesitantly, and he spoke for a while.

"As well as the number of false reports, all of them will be counted."

The battle had just started, and such a catastrophe happened in the highland position.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Fang Yuanwu couldn't help but think of the endless Japanese warships on the sea, and his heart pounded.

This pot is already too big to be carried by a mere left-wing general, so it must be counted as soon as possible.

If the situation was too serious to be solved by the left wing alone, he had to report it to Feng Haohan as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan pulled out the general's sword gleaming coldly from his waist, and placed it on the table in front of him with a murderous look.

"I'm going to put my ugly words in front of me. The statistics this time must be true and accurate. No matter who you are, or who is standing behind you, this will still play tricks on me, watch your heads!"

Everyone's heart trembled, and they quickly stood at attention, "This subordinate understands."

However, before everyone could speak, the sound of guards knocking on the door came from outside.

"General, the imperial envoy has come to our highland again."

Fang Yinbao?
Fang Yuanwu almost forgot about this person, when he came back to his senses, his vision went dark, he fell down on the seat and couldn't get up again.

The other people in the camp also looked at each other, all of them were full of pain and were at a loss.

----

Sea surface.

Japanese pirate fleet, rear.

A messenger hurried to the main general.

"General, news from the front."

"Read!" Ishikawa Taki was pondering the terrain around Dinghai Wharf, and didn't intend to raise his head at all.

"I don't know why, the firepower of the enemy's left-wing high ground has been greatly reduced. Our vanguard has successfully landed and is fighting the frontal defense line of the Central Army. The battle situation is temporarily stalemate, but my advantage is expanding. Attached is the list of fallen generals..."

How can there be no undead in a war, let alone the vanguard?

Ishikawa Taki raised his hand and didn't let Xiao Bing read any more.

"What happened to Fang Yuanwu?" He looked up to the west.

The military advisers shook their heads, "General, there is really not much information on the shore, and the subordinates have no way of judging. But in any case, the suppressive firepower on the high ground has become smaller, which is a great thing for our landing and attack. This is a god-sent opportunity. also."

Ishikawa Taki nodded, and waved his right hand down decisively.

"The general ordered that the second and third batches of fleets do not need air defense, and they will land at full speed and land immediately."

"After going ashore, attack the highlands on the left and right wings according to the battle plan, and take down the riprap group above at all costs!"

"Yes!"

The news spread quickly to the front.

Hurrah.

The warships hoisted their sails one after another, and at the same time their long oars stretched into the water.

After a while, the boats rushed towards the shore as if they were full of energy.

boom!
The battleship is huge, and the speed is not slow.

Under the huge inertia, as soon as the second and third batch of warships approached the Kawashima Fleet that landed first, the two sides collided or collided fiercely.

However, no one cared at all, from the general down to the soldier got up immediately.

They didn't care about the falls or bruises on their bodies, and those who manipulated long-range weapons hurriedly manipulated them, while the soldiers who landed took their weapons and ran towards the floating bridge in front of them screaming.

----

Ashore, Fifth Arrow Battalion.

You Baichang found Shangfeng with a panicked face.

"Qianchang, our arrows are almost used up. The Japanese pirates are crazy, and they rushed to the shore regardless of their strength. The brothers' winding hands are broken, but they can't shoot at all."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Hao Youduo patted his subordinate on the shoulder comfortingly.

He couldn't help frowning.

How long has it been since the fight?

However, this was already the third Baichang who came to ask for help.

"It's just a skin trauma, let the brothers persevere, it will soon be time for you to rotate."

"As for the arrows, I'm going to see what's going on now. Don't worry, I won't let you have no arrows to shoot."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at the hourglass beside him, his expression became more serious.

The consumption rate of arrows of this size is a bit too fast.

"General," one of the guards leaned over and whispered, "Just now when the first centurion came to ask for arrows, his subordinates felt that something was wrong, so they secretly counted the bundles of arrows delivered by the logistics."

"What do you mean?" Hao You was at a loss.

"General," the little guard said with a strange expression, "Just now, my subordinate randomly picked out a baggage wagon, and found that there were only 93 bundles of arrows in it; There are usually only about twenty arrows."

"What?" Hao Youduo almost jumped up.

"How is this possible?" He was so angry that his mouth kept trembling.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of War in Yunchui, 25 bows and arrows are normally stored in one pot, ten pots are in one bundle, and one hundred bundles are in one cart.In addition, there are two or three more bundles for each car as a backup.

Calculated in this way, the number of arrows sent by logistics was a quarter less than the normal amount.

However, the little guard didn't stop.

He took out a pot of arrows out of nowhere.

"General, please look."

After finishing speaking, the little guard shook the quiver in his hand violently, then fell down.

wow wow wow.

With the sound of the arrows colliding, a puff of gray powder poured out.

The dust was so thick that it almost choked Hao Youduo's face when he was concentrating on it.

"General, not only are there not enough arrows in this pot, but many arrow shafts have already been eaten by moths. Some are so brittle that they can't be stringed, and they will break if you break them lightly; some are stringed and can't hurt anyone when shot out."

"There's no reason for this, there's no reason for this!"

Hao Youduo snatched the pot of arrows and looked through it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more desolate he felt.

As Qianchang, he can be regarded as a middle-level general, and he knows some secrets in the army that are not known to outsiders.

But Hao Youduo never thought that he would exaggerate like this.

"What about the heavy crossbow?" Hao Youduo's voice trembled a little, "Have you checked it?"

If the heavy crossbow arrows were eaten by moths like this, there would be no way to penetrate the large shield in the enemy's hand, and there would be no way to suppress the enemy's progress.

No wonder the pirates came so fast.

Ugh.

The little guard didn't make a sound, just let out a long sigh.

Hao Youduo's heart sank suddenly.

He gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Immediately count the remaining arrows on hand, and pick out all the unusable ones. I will go to the back to see what's going on."

After finishing speaking, Hao Youduo subconsciously looked up at the left-wing high ground.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration came to my mind.

He suddenly understood why there was so much less firepower on the high ground. (end of this chapter)
