Chapter 228: The Straw Man Deceives the Arrow
In the face of several trenches, the Wuhuan people didn't have much to do, which surprised Zhang Yu.
The Wuhuan people have never been engaged in agriculture, and they are not even very good at filling trenches.
In addition to Zhang Yu, they sent a part of the archers to block, and it took five days for the Wuhuan people to fill these trenches.
During this period, the Wuhuan people paid the price of more than 2,000 people.
The trench was filled in, and the Wuhuan people could rush directly to the city.
The anger that Bashuel had been holding back for a few days completely exploded.
"Flatten the city for me, and kill them all." Basher roared.
More than 20,000 cavalry began to prepare, and with an order, they began to charge with a bang.
Zhang Yu and several other generals stood on the city, their expressions were serious, and in the face of the black oppressive army, several people were under pressure in their hearts.
Huang Zhongdian and Wei were each responsible for one direction, while Zhang Yu was not specifically responsible for anything.
"Kill."
The Wuhuan people rushed over, all the bows and arrows in their hands.
"Put."
The Wuhuan people killed the city, and then gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
The rain of arrows broke through the air and attacked.
Zhang Yu looked at the dense arrows and felt a sense of oppression.
The soldiers on both sides hurriedly took their shields to cover Zhang Yu.
The soldiers at the head of the city were prepared and raised their shields.
The arrows slanted down, covering most of the city's head.
The soldiers, under command, removed their shields and began to counterattack.
But the second wave of Wuhuan's arrows is about to arrive.
Many of the soldiers who could not avoid it were hit and fell in pools of blood.
The two sides began to shoot at each other, Zhang Yu and they had the advantage of the city wall and the shield to defend, while the Wuhuan people were on the horse and had strong mobility, and the two sides were evenly matched.
After a few rounds of shooting, Zhang Yu and the others were slightly better than the Wuhuan people.
The casualties on both sides were not very large, Zhang Yu and they were protected, and the Wuhuan people ran fast.
"That wave after wave of arrows is really terrifying, under the arrow array, almost covering the entire city." Zhang Yu watched the attack of the Wuhuan people with palpitations.
Luckily, they were well prepared and had adequate shields to protect them from.
The two sides fought like this for a long time, and did not stop until all the soldiers were very tired.
The Wuhuan people will also be tired, constantly pulling the bowstring, and manipulating the war horse, very tired.
"How is it possible, when did the Han people have such strong willpower, under our arrow array, they should have collapsed a long time ago." Bashuel asked very puzzled.
In the past, even if the enemy was prepared, they were torn apart and their morale collapsed under the attack of their powerful arrow array.
However, this time they attacked for half a day, and the defenders in Xiangping City not only did not collapse, but even did not appear in chaos.
This made Bashuel very puzzled.
Of course, Zhang Yu and they are under a lot of pressure, but many of his subordinates are veterans of a hundred battles, with rich experience, and they will not be afraid on the battlefield.
The Wuhuan people retreated to rest.
Zhang Yu asked people to count the casualties.
Half an hour later, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun came over with Dian Wei.
Huang Zhong said: "My lord, we have more than 600 dead and wounded, and the Wuhuan people estimate that more than 1,300 people have been killed or wounded. ”
Zhang Yu carefully calculated, this proportion of casualties really shouldn't be, they have a city wall, they are the defensive side, and if they fight like this, they can be regarded as losing.
"The arrow array of the Wuhuan people is too powerful, and it will cover the entire city in one round, and if the soldiers remove their shields to attack, it is too dangerous, if they don't fight back, they can only be beaten passively." Zhang Yu thought.
Counterattack is inevitable, and it is useless not to fight back.
"But what can be done?" Zhang Yu asked.
Needless to say, Dian Wei touched his head and looked dazed, while Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun looked pensive.
Zhang Yu saw that the others had no good way, so he left Dian Wei on duty, and the rest of the people withdrew to rest first.
The strength is too weak, and this is not the time to fight hard.
"There is, first exhaust the enemy, save your strength, and then seek a counterattack when the time is right."
Zhang Yu thought of a solution that was not very good, but it was still useful for the current situation.
Zhang Yu asked people to prepare.
In the afternoon, the Wuhuan people who had rested for a while attacked again, while Zhang Yu and them mainly defended.
One afternoon passed, and Zhang Yu and the others were killed and wounded more than 300 people.
At night, Zhang Yu asked the soldiers to arrange a lot of flags on the head of the city, and then arranged some straw men.
"Lord, these straw men can really repel the Wuhuan people." Dian Wei asked.
Zhang Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "How is it possible, to repel the Wuhuan people, we have to rely on our heroic soldiers." ”
Zhang Yu saw Dian Wei's dazed appearance and said: "These dummies are just used to consume the arrows of the Wuhuan people and to be suspicious soldiers, after a long time, the Wuhuan people are not all fools will find out." ”
Zhang Yu concluded that the Wuhuan people did not have many arrows.
In this day's attack, the Wuhuan people have used hundreds of thousands of arrows.
There are more than 20,000 people, and even if one person shoots ten arrows, then there are more than 200,000 arrows in a day.
The next day, there were many more flags and people on the city.
"What? This Han man hid so many people in the city. Early in the morning, Bashur began to attack again, and when he saw that the city was full of men, he cried out again in anger.
A commander said: "Chief, the Han people used all the people they were hiding, so it can be seen that their casualties must have been quite large yesterday." ”
Bashuer nodded, this is normal, they used to fight, a round of arrows rained, covering the entire city, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and after a few rounds, they broke through the city.
But not this time, so they thought it must be too many people in the city.
"Okay, then we'll get rid of them all." Bashuer pulled out his scimitar and pointed at Xiangping City and said.
His men immediately began the siege.
The cavalry charged, with a sharp murderous aura.
The rain of arrows broke through the air, and a murderous aura immediately enveloped the entire city.
"Poof, poof, poof."
Many arrows hit the target and hit the straw man.
After attacking two rounds of arrows, the Wuhuan people thought that the city must have suffered heavy casualties.
"Fight back, pay attention to concealment."
Zhang Yu gave the order and ordered the soldiers hidden under the shields to start counterattacking.
Thousands of soldiers began to counterattack in an orderly manner, but Zhang Yu did not let them all be exposed.
The city is fighting back one by one.
Wherever the Wuhuan people saw a counterattack, they attacked wherever they came, covering them with powerful arrow arrays each time, intending to wipe out all the soldiers wherever they were.
The power of the arrow array is powerful, and if the covered area is not protected, a single head cannot escape.
But Zhang Yu and the others had already prepared, and the arrow array did not play much role.
After several rounds of attacks, there was still strong resistance on the city, and the Wuhuan people were repelled by Zhang Yu and them several times.
"Haha, the Wuhuan people were really fooled, they couldn't figure out the situation on the city, so they used an arrow array to baptize."
Although the Wuhuan people attacked fiercely, Zhang Yu and they did not lose much, and at the end of the day, they lost hundreds of people.
