The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 262 Defense of Mei County ([-])
"Reporting to Chen Junhou, the Major General has the latest order. The bow and arrow team stopped long-range diffusion and aimed at the enemy army below the city to attack!"

"understood!"

With the sound of Luoyang Mandarin with a strong Xiang accent, a tall man with a height of more than eight feet and two inches, with a fierce appearance, and the muscles of the right upper limb are obviously much more tuberous than the left one. After glancing under the city wall, he shouted again: "Brothers, replace the bow with a crossbow, and diffuse towards our lower left!"

"Hey~~~!"

Chen Jian, courtesy name Xingguo (acted by someone who loves to read books).His ancestral home is Hengyang, Jingzhou.At that time, his father entered Yizhou as a low-level military officer under Liu Bei, and was forced to stay to marry a wife and have children.In the 30 years since his birth, Chen Jian adhered to the precepts of his ancestors and continued to fight for the Shu Han. He always wanted to fight back to Jingzhou and Hengyang as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Guan Da Sima is so high above that he can't hear his voice—even if he heard his voice, he wouldn't change the national policy just because of the wish of a small military marquis.Therefore, no matter how much Chen Jian longed to return to Jingzhou, he could only join Guan Yi in this Northern Expedition first.

As a professional military officer, Chen Jian's ability to command in battle is very good.Following his order, the soldiers in his department replaced the crossbow very quickly, and then started shooting at the soldiers of the Jin army on the lower left.

And the place where they shot was the place where Li Shisan and others were busy setting up the ladder.

Hearing the sound of "whoosh" piercing the air above his head, Li Shisan certainly knew that the enemy's archers had turned their attention to the corner of the wall.He immediately started to yell based on the knowledge he had acquired in the Luoyang Central Army: "Bows and arrows! All stick to the wall to avoid! Our archers, shoot!"

It should be said that this order was relatively correct - if this section of the city wall was not a bastion.

The classic city walls in ancient China are generally surrounded by four sections in the south, east, west, and north to form a rectangle or square.Each section of the city wall is relatively straight.

In ancient city offensive and defensive battles, as long as the attacker is close to the city wall, it can be said that more than half of the success is achieved by climbing the city wall. Since a long section of the city wall is straight, the defenders on the city wall must attack the attackers at the bottom of the wall. Either use limited resources such as rolling stones and wood (too large, the hit rate is not high, and the fatality rate is lower), or the defender risked his life and stretched half of his body out of the stacking wall to shoot arrows directly below.

Therefore, after hearing the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air, Li Shisan instinctively called his brothers to stick to the city wall—at 0 degrees to the city wall, the archers on the wall lost their angle.To shoot yourself, you have to lean out—and the archers behind you have a chance.

Unfortunately, Mei County is no longer a traditional Chinese city wall - it is now a bastion.

The so-called bastion is to build many protruding prism-shaped buildings outside the originally straight city walls-it can be a solid simple prism, or a hollow tower.But no matter what it is, these protruding prismatic buildings have transformed the original straight city wall into a concave shape.

Now the problem came, Li Shisan and others were clinging to the city wall, the archers directly above the city wall couldn't do anything about them.But people don't need to solve you.The one who will solve you is the defender on the protrusion of the right bastion.

"Hehehe, why are these Jin thieves so obedient? They are lying neatly on the city wall with their backs exposed? There are all of them. Let's shoot at the Jin thieves with their backs facing our army!"

"Huh!"

Li Shisan, who was clinging to the city wall, pressed his helmet nervously with his hands, then raised his head as much as possible and looked directly above him: Doesn't it look like the wood is rolling down, it's... okay?

Just as Li Shisan breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a huge thrust came from his back, followed by a sharp pain!Li Shisan instinctively turned his head to look: What's going on, there is actually a feathered arrow stuck in his back!Was it accidentally injured by the friendly archers behind?

But it's not right, if it was accidentally injured, why did the row of comrades around me all have feather arrows in their backs, and some of them were shot in the back of the head, and they seemed to be dead beyond death.

Just as he was thinking, another feathered arrow galloped towards Li Shisan's back shoulder fiercely.This time, he saw clearly that the feather arrow came from his upper right.

"The enemy archers over there are so bold? Dare to stick out their bodies and shoot arrows at me?" With such doubts, Li Shisan turned around with difficulty, raised his head high, and then, there were three feathers in a row. The arrow hit his face directly.

"There must be something wrong..." With such doubts, Li Shisan closed his eyes forever.

.......
With balls on the high walls, it was very difficult to place the ladders securely.But the enemy army didn't seem to be satisfied with this, and even repaired the entire city wall into strange shapes.Then, soldiers of the Jin army who were close to the city wall, no matter which city wall they stuck to, would be shot from behind in at least two directions or even three directions.On this day, the siege soldiers of the Jin army, like Li Shisan, died miserably with endless doubts.

Gradually, the bodies of Jin soldiers who died in battle under the city wall of Mei County piled up, and blood streams of different thicknesses gradually formed on the ground near the bottom of the city wall... More than [-] soldiers of the Jin army, because they were depressed for two The morale accumulated over the past month, under such a huge casualty, gradually disintegrated, and finally collapsed.

It doesn't matter, no matter whether there is a supervisory team in the rear or not, the soldiers attacking the city in the rear see a large number of comrades in the front row killed in battle, and they no longer have the courage to move on.They all slowed down their pace.The smart soldiers simply turned to both sides of the battlefield, looking for the stumps of the concrete wall that had not been thoroughly cleaned, and squatted there, unwilling to get up again.

"Dangdangdangdangdang..." Finally, the signal for Ming Jin to withdraw came.All the soldiers of the Jin army who heard this voice turned around quickly and ran towards the rear as if they had received an amnesty.

……

"Hey, didn't we fight too hard? Today, the brothers who are in charge of close combat on the north wall don't seem to have even pulled out their knives?"

"Hahaha, Chen Junhou, it seems to be like this. Your Ring Shou Dao hasn't opened today, has it?"

"Hmph, yes, these Jin thieves are too insensitive."

Glancing at the corpses of the Jin army piled up more than one foot thick under the city wall, Jiang Su looked up at the sun that had just started to go west: "It's just past noon, this Jin thief is really too weak." After shaking his head, He yelled again: "Come here, send envoys to fall into the city and go down to the camp of the Jin army, and ask the general of Jin to send people to clean up the bodies of their fallen soldiers."

"Here!"

"Order all the teams defending the city to immediately count the damage to supplies and personnel. I will report to Da Sima immediately."

"Here!"

After arranging all this, Jiang Su found a random place, sat down on the floor, closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

In fact, after such a long time, the Jin army's siege made him not even a little nervous.So now the body is not tired.What he needs now is to sort out the shock in his heart after seeing the bastion, a fortress with great defensive power.

When Guan Yi ordered the transformation of Mei County, he, Luo Xi, Huo Zai and others expressed their puzzlement.On the contrary, Zhang Zun, Zhao Yi and others resolutely carried out Guan Yi's order.It now appears that the unconditional trust of these Fuxingshe elders in Guan Yi is well-founded.

Today's battle didn't last long, and none of the enemy troops made it to the top of the city, so the statistics of the soldiers under his command were very fast.Jiang Su has not started thinking here, but his reporter has already stood up over there: "Report to the Major General, in the battle this morning, our North City Defense Section has fired a total of 320 stone bullets and more than 15 bows and arrows. Fifteen people were injured and one was killed, all caused by bows and arrows from below the city wall. As for the number of enemies killed, it’s really hard to calculate. But roughly 2000 people were killed or injured.”

"Good, then I will report to Da Sima. Well, although the Jin bandits retreat temporarily, we must guard against the enemy coming back soon, so you must do your best!"

"Here, please rest assured, Major General."

……

He walked quickly to the county government office in the center of the city, and before entering the main hall, he heard hearty laughter. Well, it seems that the other two sections of the city wall are also very relaxed today.

Sure enough, after waiting to enter the conference hall, after comparing with Huo Zai, who was defending the east city, and Luo Xi, who was defending the west city, Jiang Su found that his section of the city wall had the largest number of casualties.

The most exaggerated thing is the section of the city wall defended by Luo Xi, because the Di troops who are in charge of the main attack here.So after they entered the range of the bow and arrow, after Luo attacked a round of salvos, the enemies all retreated!

"Hehehe, very good. Based on Zichun's report, we have consumed more than 20 stone bullets and 5000 bows and arrows today. More than [-] brothers were injured and two were killed. The estimated number of kills exceeds [-] people? Very good!"

"I would like to congratulate Da Sima."

"Hehehe, congratulations, congratulations."

Looking at the smiling Guan Yi, Jiang Su gritted his teeth, and asked a disappointing question: "Da Sima, we have definitely seen the power of the Bastion today. But the general also has worries in his heart."

"Well, Zichun just wanted to ask, if the enemy also builds their cities into bastions, it will be very difficult for us to attack in the future, right?"

"That's right, Da Sima. Our enemy is not stupid. Take the stirrups for example. The enemy only saw it once, and after more than a month, they will generally be deployed as troops. Compared with Jin bandits, our country has fewer soldiers. If The enemy also used bastions against us..."

"Zichun is very thoughtful!"

Therefore, it is very important for traversers to click on the technology tree.If it is invented by messing around, it is likely to kill a thousand enemies and damage yourself ten thousand!But this bastion...

"Zichun, everyone, in fact, although the defense of the bastion is indeed greatly improved compared with the previous city wall, it is not omnipotent. A single bastion cannot form an absolute defensive advantage. Since I dare to Take it out at this time, and naturally there will be a way to conquer him. Hey, I really hope that Sima Wang will be stupid and drain all the blood of the Guanzhong Corps here. Then we can go to besiege Chang'an. At that time, we will Let you see the newest siege method of this general!"

"We have great confidence in Da Sima! I would like to follow Da Sima to the city of Chang'an as soon as possible!"
