Chapter 696: Solid as a Rock
Dagu is no longer a boy who could only hunt rabbits after his father a few years ago, he is now an Ouren man, a skilled hunter, after the baptism of war, he sacrificed his father with the blood of the Qin people, and married the most beautiful girl in the village.
He used to hunt in the mountains, digging the tips of his spears and arrows into the thick fur of the boar.
He also followed the Jun, in the first war to besiege the Qin stronghold, although those soldiers were well defended, but not without gaps, the Ou people relied on the advantage of numbers, day and night harassment and siege, after paying some casualties, they could always capture. Drive the Qin people out of their ancestral lands, hunt their heads, sprinkle blood in the grain fields, pray for a good harvest, and eat their flesh to gain strength.
But today, although there are more than 10,000 people in Ou, in the face of these three small tulou in front of him, the tulou of the Qin army, Dagu feels hopeless!
The structure of the Qin army camp: the barracks are located in the outermost part, and now all the soldiers are empty, and all the soldiers have withdrawn to the tulou in the center of the barracks.
There are three tulou in total, living next to each other, dozens of steps apart, and they are within a hundred steps, a piece of emptiness, this was originally the venue for the Qin soldiers to practice martial arts, and the Ou people want to attack, they must cross this hurdle.
"Bless Barrow!"
Singing Ou songs, the barefoot Ou people charged towards the tulou, and when they entered a hundred paces away, the crossbow machine of the Qin army began to exert force.
The first thing to shoot at the Ouren was the crossbow erected on the top wall of the tulou, this crossbow was so powerful that it needed to be kicked open with foot force, and it was between the shoulders to kill people a hundred steps away!
Dagu charged forward with his spear, only to see something flying rapidly in front of him, and before he could react, the clansmen running beside him were suddenly knocked backwards, and their entire chest was pierced by a crossbow arrow, and they were unable to live.
Fortunately, there were more than 1,000 Qin troops, scattered in three earthen buildings, there were not many people who operated the crossbows, and the winding was extremely slow, and the accuracy was insufficient......
At this time, the two-story shooting window holes on the wall of the tulou also stretched out the crossbow, which was a crossbow with open arms, and the power was slightly reduced, but the accurate head was much fuller, and more people fell from the arrow. Dagu jumped over the corpse in front of him, avoided the arrow that slashed through his ear, held the wooden plank that Qin Camp copied by hand, and rushed to the root of the wall in one breath!
Although he has seen the tulou countless times, it is only after reaching its feet that Dagu realizes that it is so tall: according to the length unit of the Central Plains, it is nearly five zhang high! It is oval in shape, and the round building is fully enclosed and has no corners.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the tallest building that the Ou people have ever seen, standing under the wall, they can't help but be in awe.
Dagu felt very uncomfortable, because this earthen building was being built on the ruins of the former village!
He didn't know that there were four floors inside the wall, and there were no windows on the first and second floors, only small windows were opened on the third and fourth floors, and the crossbow bolts on the walls were still sticking out, condescending, killing and injuring the enemy.
The Ou people counterattacked with bamboo bows and blow arrows, but it was difficult to hurt the Qin pawn in the shooting hole, but fortunately, the Jun had already prepared, and the follow-up Ou people carried a big bamboo five or six feet high, and the tip was raised high, and the Qin people's attack was only slightly slowed down, but the arrows on the roof of the building continued to fall, and the Ou people's heads were broken and bleeding.
Taking advantage of this rare gap, Dagu began to ponder how to break through the wall, and he put his hand on the wall, and could feel its thickness, at least a foot wide.
What's more, the depth of the wall foundation buried in the ground is at least half a zhang, and the foot of the wall exposed to the ground is made of stone and granite strip stone, and the height is more than one zhang! It is impossible for the Yue people to dig it up!
"Hand on!"
Arrows whizzed past him or overhead, and Dagu shouted for his people to help him climb the foot of the wall, holding the shovel he had captured from the fallen Qin army in the first war, and slammed it into the rammed earth wall!
"Dang!"
Dagu heard the sound of gold and stone clashing in his ears, his right hand was numb for a while, and he almost fell down, and when he looked closely, only a small white spot was left on the wall, and the shovel in his hand was missing!
Dagu was dumbfounded, they had always felt that the copper and iron tools of the Qin people were very good, and it was easy to dig the earth, but the wall of this tulou was unscathed?
"Is this an earthen wall, or is it a stone?"
Dagu felt incredible, a few months ago, the situation when the Qin army built this place, they had seen it, it was nothing more than ordinary rammed earth, and the Yue people would too.
He didn't know that the technology of the Qin army to build the earthen wall was the "Sanhe soil" sacrificed by Heifu in the war to destroy Chu more than ten years ago. Now it has already been explored by Shaofu and Mojia to find out a mature process, mixed with loess, lime and sand in proportion, and sandwiched with stones and bamboo pieces in the middle, which is a "bamboo bar soil wall", and the hardness is only a little worse than the reinforced concrete of later generations.
It is said that the tulou in southern Fujian in later generations could not be exploded with explosives, and it was basically unsolvable when placed in BC! In addition, the walls are extremely thick, and it is basically useless to dig tunnels to enter the building.
This was the first time Dagu felt desperate today, seeing that the digging of the wall was useless, and the Ou people who had killed and injured nearly 100 people in the corner of the wall retreated, and their target turned to the only flaw in the tulou: the gate!
Because the tulou is like a turtle shell, even if the Ouren sticks to the corner of the wall, it can't be pried open, so Xiao Tao is relieved to concentrate the manpower near the gate.
The gate of the tulou is like a city tower, digging a ravine in front, and the ravine is filled with sharp wood, and then it is protected by a drawbridge, even though the Ou people use human lives to pile up, cross the ditch, cut down the drawbridge, and begin to attack the gate.
Ji Jun thought of using fire to burn the gate, Ou people carried firewood to the front, and ignited the fire, but who expected, the door frame of the Tulou gate was built with rock masonry, and a water hole was set above, and if the fire attacked, the water could be released to extinguish the fire, and it was quickly extinguished.
Seeing that from the beginning of the sun to the scorching sun, there was still no progress in the sky, and the jun was also a little anxious, so the Ou people fought for their lives, using the axes seized from the Qin people in the past, and chopping the wooden door under the rain of arrows!
It wasn't until the sun turned that the wooden door finally broke! But what made the Ou people desperate was that the city gate hole inside had already been filled with sacks of piled soil, and dozens of Qin people were on top of it, and there was no way to break in!
Climb up? No, on the wall of the tulou, there is nothing to climb, even if there is a nimble Ou people who take out the ability to go up and down the cliff in the mountain, picking honey, and want to throw out the rope with a hook, but the Qin people above are not blind, and immediately cut off, even if there is luck to climb into the air, they are also poked down by a spear......
Previously, although Xiao Tao's words to motivate the soldiers were stumbling, they were not domineering at all, and they were completely covered up by the grass song sung by Wan Ou outside. But it aroused the desire of thousands of people to survive, and there was no corpse to die, and it was eaten by others, what a terrible way to die! In order to survive, the Qin soldiers and conscripts did not let the tulou have any flaws.
Now, Tulou has really become a shell, and the Ou people can no longer speak......
At this point, at the foot of the three tulou, there were nearly a thousand corpses of Ou people, and their blood gathered into a stream, forming a red moat around the yellow tulou......
"Chief, you can't fight anymore."
Dagu returned to Jijun's side with a bloody face and attacked Tulou, which was probably the only wrong decision that Jijun made after succeeding Xi'oujun......
"It's time to give up."
Ji Jun sighed, his plan failed, thousands of clansmen died in vain, and the Ou people couldn't wait for the rice in the field to ripen.
The millet was planted by them in the early spring, even if they couldn't cut it themselves, they couldn't cheapen the Qin people!
Jijun gritted his teeth and lashed: "Burn them!" :
Since you're going to starve, let's go together! Ji Jun believes that in the end, it is the local Ou people who are familiar with the war who win this war!
However, letting the people scatter and set fire to the rice paddies by the river was the second wrong decision of the day......
When the Ou people left the tulou and scattered to set fires, the clansmen who were guarding in the distance sent back shocking news:
"Jun Chang, yesterday and the day before yesterday, the two Qin armies that left are back!"
Everyone was shocked, it was originally a ploy for them to scatter the Qin army, but now it seems that the Qin people had long expected that Xiou would besiege Tulou, and they were afraid that they would not come, so they specially divided their troops to tempt?
The two Qin armies each had 1,000 people, one in the south and one in the north, looking at the posture, they wanted to surround the Ou people, but they were 10,000 people......
"Oops!"
Jijun felt a palpitation, and was about to ask the clansmen who were scattered to burn the fields everywhere to leave quickly, but above the water, there was a change again!
Ten big ships, with the front end of the paddle and the rear end of the giant ship flying, are coming from the downstream against the current!
The Qin army's car and ship have arrived!
……
Although the horses had already taken precautions and burned down the Qin army docks in Yulin, the boats were not afraid at all, and rushed straight to the bank full of river sand, and Qin soldiers constantly jumped from it and gathered on the shore, and a bird flag was erected.
The commander of that team is called Han Xin......
"Braltar is on top."
Ji Jun gasped, he wanted to hunt the Qin people, but unexpectedly, he became a beast that fell into the trap.
At present, the Qin army carried by the car and ship has landed on the shore, and after a little formation, it is moving quickly here, and the flags of the two Qin divisions in the north and south also appear on the horizon, in the three earthen buildings, the Qin people will begin to empty the barricades of the gate, ready to come out to attack the Ou people......
Even so, looking at the number of people, the Qin army was less than half of the Ou people, but Ji Jun immediately gave the order to evacuate!
Except for the end of the first war, after the confluence with the Luo people, 30,000 people launched a surprise attack on the 10,000 tired Qin troops who had just passed through the dense forest, and the battle between the Yue people and the Qin army all ended in failure, and the most exaggerated ratio of the number of people was actually ten to one!
Ji Jun sighed: "Dagu, you are right, I am wrong, I should not come to attack Tulou." ”
Right now, when the encirclement of the Qin army is gradually closing, can the Ou people scattered everywhere still get away?
"How much can you go, you must warn the clansmen, as well as the distant tribes in the future!"
In the flash of light, Ji Jun made a decision: "Dagu, I will stay behind and block the Qin people for a while, and you will take the clansmen back!" ”
Dagu was shocked: "If you want to stay, it should be me...... You are the king of Xiou......"
"The last Xi'ou Jun, your Tebo Yihu Song, didn't you also stay in Guilin, let me take someone to go first?"
Laughing, he removed the statue of the frog god from his neck and hung it on Dagu......
"The old pine trees will always die, and the new pine branches will always grow. I'm responsible for my mistakes, and from now on, Dagu, you're the new Xi'ou Jun! Go back, go back to the stockade, take the clansmen, take them into the mountains, go to the west, and take refuge in King Luo! ”
Ji Jun's old wife, more than 20 years ago, Ji Jun's wife who was snatched from other tribes, is still watching the brazier in the tribe, shaking his grandson, waiting for him to return.
But Dagu's wife, too, was touching her bulging belly and leaning against the door of the hut, looking forward to it......
"Dagu, Adagu, you remember to me, no matter how many times, you have to come back, recapture the ancestral land, and return to the ancestral spirit!"
Pushing away Dagu, whose face was full of tears, Ji Song pulled out the sword at his waist, and took those clansmen with tattoos on their faces who regarded death in battle as glory, lined up and walked towards the Qin army by the river.
Weapons, equipment, and even numbers this time do not have an advantage, and they will definitely lose.
But don't be afraid, the people of Xiou can lose their bodies, but they must win their souls! The Ou people who lose their souls will definitely be abandoned by Braltar!
The Qin people's tulou walls are as solid as a rock, but the Xi'ou people's determination to resist the invasion and hold their ancestral land is as solid as a rock!
Ji Jun looked at the banner of the Qin army in the distance, which was Han Xin's array, holding a spear, and slowly pressed towards this side.
He raised the sword in his hand.
"Let's go, my people!"
Jijun smiled: "Go to the other end of the Rainbow Bridge, beside Braltar, drink wine again, and tell him today's story, our souls are like pine leaves!" ”
