Chapter 860 - A Quarter of an Hour Crucial

"What should I do?" Although Cao Ang looked at Dong Zhao, his expression was not too nervous, and he just sat back and watched the other party build dirt like this, as if he didn't care. However, in the current situation, ordinary means of defending the city have little effect.

Since you can't stop it, you can only watch the other party build up the earthen platform. Unless, abandon the city walls, go out of the city to fight.

"I didn't expect the other party to think of such a siege method...... Dong Zhao was also a little curious, such a siege method, those Hu people would not have thought of it before. Sure enough, as time went by, the Hu people's means slowly increased.

She then began to calculate the height and width of the platform, and after some comparison, she replied: "A ramp that allows four horses to rush forward at the same time, rocks and logs may cause some damage, grease and rockets do not do much damage, but you can use a gun array to deal with it, and be careful with the shots of the opposing archers...... It is recommended to dispatch the White Soldiers, as well as let the Crossbowmen take cover! ”

Hoplites will be more defensive, and the opponent's arrows will not be easy to deal damage. At the same time, it is indeed more convenient to counterattack with crossbows on the city wall than with bows and arrows.

"No...... Don't ......" Cao Ang looked at the ramp, but he had other thoughts, "The city wall is not wide, so one or two people are allowed to stand, if it is a white soldier, especially if it is responsible for attacking, then at most one person will stand......"

Then he ordered: "Prepare the white soldiers, follow the ramp and kill me, and the archers and crossbowmen will take over the cover and shoot." ”

"If the white soldiers go out, then they will completely enter the enemy's strike range!" Dong Zhao reminded. At that time, the opponent will not only shoot, but can even rely on flat fire to shoot accurately.

"After training for so long, I can't always be a mascot." Cao Ang shook his head, "The White Soldier is originally a big killing weapon, even if the other party is a cavalry, he is still fearless. They should be killing machines on the battlefield, not honor guards! ”

He then turned around and looked at the white soldiers who were already waiting behind him: "Are you the honor guard?" ”

"It's not!" Bai Yubing immediately replied, from the formation to the start of training, eliminated countless weak people, and those who remained were all real iron-blooded men...... There are also more than a dozen Iron Lady.

"Then prove it to me, with the blood of these invaders!" Cao Ang pointed to the Southern Huns who were building a ramp.

Two-thirds of the way through the ramp, tens of thousands of people took turns to take shape, constantly pouring dirt and occasionally throwing sacks of compacted soil.

"It's a quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour, let me see how many enemies you can kill!" Cao Ang calculated the time, from the opponent's siege of the city to the follow-up installation of sand and rams to build the soil slope, it was almost two hours before and after, and the ambushes in Black Mountain and Lin Shu Mountain could be reached at any time, a quarter of an hour, which was Cao Ang's psychological time.

"Yes!" Under the leadership of Chen Zhi, the soldiers of the white soldiers responded one after another. Immediately, without waiting for the other party to finish building the earthen platform, he jumped directly down. Also, it's almost finished, maybe it's not compacted, but it's less than half a meter behind the city wall, and jumping off doesn't affect anything, just a little bit into the soil, it's not a big problem.

"Yo, the other party actually took the initiative to fight?" Gao Gan was a little incredulous, this group of soldiers wearing white felt hats and looking a little different dared to give up defending the city and go directly to battle.

But also, it is meaningless to continue to defend, the earthen platform has been built, as long as it is slightly tamped, then the distance of the Huns can even leap on it, and then the city wall will become a restriction.

"The question is, you actually use heavy infantry against us Huns?" Liu Bao was laughing at the moment.

Heavy infantry has a strong defense, which is well suited to attacking the positions of ordinary light infantry, as well as pikemen, and even has some resistance to bows and crossbows. But the disadvantages are also obvious, one is too much equipment and too heavy, so that the movement speed and agility are reduced. The second is that the equipment does not cover the whole body, which means that the throat, arms and head, especially the head, will become a vital point.

Liu Bao couldn't even understand why these soldiers used felt hats as helmets, could it be that the equipment on this body had already exhausted the budget?

Look at the now, the snow-white felt hat, as if it were an arrow mark, signaling them to 'shoot inside'!

"In that case, then I will be disrespectful!" Liu Bao immediately ordered, and then a thousand Hun soldiers went out and shot at the head of the white soldiers. But I didn't want the arrows to hit the felt hat, and some of them didn't even pierce it, and even if they did, they couldn't penetrate it!

"Why is this happening?" Liu Bao couldn't believe it, how could this kind of felt hat, which seemed defenseless, be able to carry their arrows?

If he is a traverser, then he will probably know that the outer skin of this felt hat is made of a thick fabric similar to jeans. The inner lining is filled with cotton and the like, that is, something like cotton armor or paper armor.

This thing is mediocre slash resistant, but very resistant to blunt hits and shots. Using the body armor as an analogy, then it will probably be more simple and easy to understand. For the white soldiers, what they are most afraid of is nothing more than strong crossbows and arrows, after all, the natural speed is not fast. If you overcome this problem, then everything will be fine.

In terms of the choice of helmet, at the beginning, Cao Ang's plan was to cover the helmet, leaving only two eyes. However, due to the problem of the construction process, the ability to release arrows and resist blunt strikes is not too strong, so after Wang Yong's suggestion, this felt hat style was finally chosen. Naturally, this infantry was also called the White Soldiers.

"My lord, the felt hats on their heads seem to be anti-arrow! I don't know what kind of fabric it is! "The commander who sent out came back with a hellish look. What kind of fabric is so good, it can prevent arrows, if he can, he wants a set of armor made of this cloth, which is better than leather armor!

"Bows and arrows have no effect, but what about your scimitars?" Liu Bao scolded angrily, just because the other party resisted shooting, he was afraid of the other party?

"It's not easy for our soldiers to get close to each other, and the crossbowmen and archers on the walls are covering them!" The commander said very aggrievedly, if you get closer, then go directly into the range of bows and crossbows, and shoot from top to bottom, and shoot from bottom to top are two concepts.

Their archers, even if they can shoot every shot, have to go into the effective killing range before they can shoot, right?!

"Will our warriors fear the arrows of their enemies?" Liu Bao retorted.

"King, most of our men are girls!" The commander replied helplessly, he was the worst, there were more than a thousand people under his command and more than a dozen male soldiers, trembling in a large number of girls.

"Then tell them that these sturdy men with white felt hats in front of them will be disposed of as long as they are captured! You are a thousand-legg, use your brains more! "Liu Bao is indeed a headache, has the Great Huns been cursed for the last four hundred years? Why is the situation of more women than men getting worse and worse!

"Oh, yes, yes, the little one will tell me immediately!" The commander understood and immediately went back to inform.

As expected, after getting this assurance, this group of tigresses really broke out with twelve points of combat power......
