140 signals
The more than 1,000 villagers sent by Chen Yumo can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow, and they have solved the urgent need in front of them for Zhao Xingdou. Two consecutive days of siege, especially the two siege operations on the second day, made the Bengang team members suffer heavy losses, two days, there have been three or four percent, that is, five or six hundred team members were injured and killed, making Zhao Xingdou and Wu Hu their defense of the city more and more difficult.
Although most of the more than 1,000 villagers have no combat experience, some simple defense work should still be fine, such as boiling water, throwing stones, and so on, which only require strength.
Of course, the natives did not please the side, as the besieging side, after two days of siege, their injuries were at least one or two thousand, but in terms of their huge numbers, it has not yet reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones.
Moreover, among the two thousand injured soldiers, half of them were weak clansmen such as women and the elderly of all clans, and the main fighters who really died in battle were actually only a small half of them.
Elder Dahai and the upper echelons of their clans were very cautious, after all, it was the first time they had come into contact with this kind of defensive offensive with high-rise buildings, and compared to the civil and wooden walls that they had fought before, it was impossible for them to send all the sharpness in their hands.
Although they were also anxious and lively in their hearts, worried that Li Tianyang and them might come back at any time for backup, and also wanted to take this rich Bengang as soon as possible, but the scheming Dahai and his party still fought steadily, and among the thousands of siege personnel sent in the first two days, more than half of the women and other clansmen were involved.
With the current two-day temptation and attack, it has made the natives understand a little bit of siege tactics, and at the same time, they have also figured out the depth of the Bengang defense soldiers, and I am afraid that the offensive on the third day will be more intense, and it is not impossible that the natives will send all the soldiers out in a desperate way.
In addition to the siege, the natives did not forget to step up the production of siege equipment, and a gate was broken at the city gate, but the urn city was narrow and could not be dodged, and it could be defended with a little strength. In addition, when the rocks were thrown, the rocks, rolling logs and other objects were piled up at the gate of the city intentionally or unintentionally, which formed a large obstacle at the gate of the city, which made the natives less interested in attacking this place.
Therefore, they finally put their minds on the city wall, and the second day of siege, especially in the second siege operation, the natives were almost able to gain a foothold on the city wall several times, but unfortunately when the second group of soldiers who followed up on the city wall had not yet arrived, Bengang organized people to destroy and kill the first group of indigenous warriors who attacked the city wall, and failed to give the other party a chance to join forces.
At this time, it was late at night after the siege of the second day, and Zhao Xingdou began the siege of the city by the natives, and would stand on the city wall every night to inspect it.
He was not worried that the natives would attack Bengang at night, and with the mixed composition of the natives, at least half of the natives had the problem of night blindness, so although Dahai had the heart, he never really gave the order to fight at night.
But in the big battle during the day, the Bengang team members worked hard, and at night, they should also let everyone have a good rest, so in the ethics formulated by Li Tianyang, as a commander, the more the war period, the more responsibility must be assumed.
The residential area under the city wall used to be brightly lit at night, and there was no curfew in Bengang, so the residents were free to move around at night and visit relatives and friends. Especially the place of the tea house restaurant, it is everyone's favorite, after working during the day, invite three or five friends to order a pot of coarse tea, a few dishes of side dishes, but can chat and chat for a long time.
But now, except for a few bonfires and torches flickering under the city, the rest of the place is pitch black. The natives don't do much at night, and usually after dinner, everyone finds a place to sleep, which is much quieter than the noise during the day. However, when we dig deeper, it is just that the daily life of the indigenous people is too simple, and they have no leisure activities except for necessary activities such as hunting.
Suddenly, between the western horizon, a few stars rose from low to high, and then suddenly disappeared and disappeared. Faintly, you can even hear a few sounds that are not there.
Such a vision appeared several times in a row, and it did not disappear until half an hour later, and never appeared again.
Seeing this vision, Zhao Xingdou was overjoyed in his heart, this is the signal agreed between Wu Daofu and them, as long as this signal is lit, it means that Wu Daofu's fleet is already in the sea near Bengang, and they can sail into Bengang at any time along Bengang Creek.
Pigeons have many benefits, but they are unusable at night, so you can only rely on such a slight idea
With the return of Wu Daofu and them, Zhao Xingdou and their heavy hearts were gone for most of the time, only two days of siege, but Zhao Xingdou said that they were not worried that it was false, after all, their defense force was weak, which is an indisputable fact. Even if Yumo replenished them with some fresh blood in time, but a group of farmers who had never been in contact with combat at all, how much combat power could they have in the end, Zhao Xingdou didn't have any bottom in their hearts.
Now that the signal has been received, it can be regarded as a shot in the arm for Zhao Xingdou, and tomorrow's city defense operation, they don't have to worry too much about gains and losses. I believe that since Wu Daofu and the others have returned, it is impossible for them to sit idly by and watch Bengang fall into the hands of the enemy.
In the few rooms with bonfires burning in the indigenous ranks at the same time, the patriarchs and elders of a dozen tribes, such as Dahai and Leiba, sat at a table, seemingly discussing tomorrow's war.
"The casualties and losses of everyone in the past few days are obvious to all, and I am deeply gratified here, but now is the time for everyone to fight to the death, and whether our clans can take this stupid port and drive this group of foreigners out depends on our actions in the past few days. Therefore, I hope that everyone will not care about the losses of the clan at this time, and do not think about cheating, from tomorrow, we will send more warriors to strengthen the siege! "As the most powerful and most trooped clan among the clans here, Elder Dahai has held the lead of this scattered alliance from the very beginning.
"It's still the same old saying, but whoever first enters the city to attack Bengang, after destroying Bengang, their tribe's war gains will be more than that of other clans!" Without any other words of encouragement, Dahai knew the thoughts of these indigenous leaders, and no matter how much he said, it was better to give them some practical benefits.
At this time, the clans are not stupid, there is no other way to retreat, if they evil the people of the Zhuluo Mountain Society, their tribes will not want to fight in this jungle in the future. Therefore, everyone has expressed their stance and shown their determination to Dahai.
