Xu Ze shook his head, in addition to leading him to send troops and then giving him a head start, he was afraid that he would be forced to withdraw from the army, which not only bought him more time for himself, but also hit the morale of the Xihe Army.

The soldiers themselves are not high when they have just arrived at Xihe, and if they lose their morale at the beginning, the next battle will be really difficult to fight.

Zhou Chang watched the retreat of the Yuan army, a little anxious, and asked, "General, what should we do next?" ”

The Yuan army withdrew from the five trenches, and at this time, whether it chose to occupy those vacant places or withdraw the troops, it was better than to stay in place and be embarrassed and not know what to do.

In the final analysis, the people below need to have an order, a place where they can work hard, otherwise they will be confused, do not know what to do, and even question the upper echelons, and the guidance of the military order is chaotic, poor execution and other negative situations will appear.

Then he sent three hundred men, each with two shields, and with one shield he made a wall of shields over the second ditch, and covered the top of the ditch. The rest of the troops acted according to the original plan! Xu Ze didn't have any good way, so he decided to try the move without a stage, and then make a decision!

"Whoa!"

Zhou Chang was ordered to go down to arrange manpower, and other guards also rushed to the Xihe commanders everywhere to convey Xu Ze's orders.

Soon, the new three hundred people came out, each carrying a shield in each hand, and the weapons hung on their waists or backs, and rushed into the trench quickly, and the Yuan army did not move, quietly watching the movements of the Xihe army.

Soon, a shield was erected at the second trench, and the shield was inserted in the earth near the direction of the city of Erdenet, covering the trench in a flat plane, because the trench was too wide and too long, so that after the shield was inserted, nearly half of the trench was not covered, and because the number of shields was insufficient, the place covered was concentrated around the mouth of the trench.

At this moment, bags of sandbags rushed towards the trench.

"I don't dare to move forward, but I don't want to go back. Want to wait and see what happens? How could Butai not know the other party's plan, sneered, and muttered: "Since this is the case, I will do what you wish." See what you'll do next? ”

Although the other party chose such a tepid method, Butai still admires the other party, not to mention anything else, just knowing the current affairs, knowing where his ability lies, he will not force it, but the defeat will end up quite good. It seems to be a very ordinary and basic thing, but I don't know how many generals can't even do this, and in the end, not only will the soldiers be defeated. It even more affects the country behind it.

Sometimes, Butai is very envious of Zhang Yuan of the Xihe Army, and his generals are either fierce generals or famous generals, and I don't know how much better than the Yuan Dynasty.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there were many ministers. Those who are willing to be sincere do not have much talent, and those who are talented are not willing to be sincere. Not to mention the military generals, most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are ambitious and talented. The real talent will either run away or go against the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongols themselves have a very shallow background, and the talents they have cultivated in recent years are pitifully few compared to the huge empire. It was used to the limit as much as possible, and it also seemed clumsy.

"Bang ............!!!!"

In the city of Erdenet, hundreds of stones flew out without warning, and smashed on the heads of the Xihe army, and the dense stones smashed the Xihe soldiers who carried them fell and screamed.

"Get the carrying soldiers out of the way!" Xu Ze's complexion changed greatly, even if he had been mentally prepared. But in the face of this fist-sized stone rain, there is still a terrifying feeling, and the power of heaven and earth is nothing more than that.

When the Xihe army withdrew, the number of people was counted, and less than 50 of the more than 300 soldiers who carried it escaped. Most of these 50 people are still on the periphery of the stone rain, and some have not yet entered the stone rain area. Even so, the people who were able to escape from the rain of stones were all bleeding and injured.

When the rain of stones stopped, all that came into view was the corpses of the soldiers of Xihe, and among the chaotic stones, a smear of bright red blood made people angry.

A weak moan sounded in the rain of stones, and Xu Ze ordered with a pale face: "Send a team of men and horses to rescue, and count the soldiers hidden in the trench to see how many people survived!" ”

At this time, Xu Ze had already guessed the origin of the stone rain, the catapult!

But such a dense rain of stones caused such a big impact in a short period of time, you can imagine how huge the number of catapults prepared by the Yuan army was.

Return?

For the first time, Xu Ze had the idea of retreating.

"No, you can't retreat, retreat at this time, the morale blow will be even greater!" Xu Ze directly vetoed his idea, and then felt a little pity: "It's a pity that a rain of stones made the army's heart boil, and the whole army was angry. ”

"Tell the general, eleven people survived, all of them were seriously injured and dying!"

"Well, tell me to go down and rescue with all my might!" Even if he had expected it, Xu Ze was still secretly speechless, more than 300 people, except for 46 people who were lucky to escape from the periphery, they were really covered by the stone rain and hit, it was already a fluke that they didn't die, and the lack of arms and legs was still because the sandbags were blocking the body, and the scattered stones abounded.

Soon, another guard who counted the trenches reported that the situation was much better than Xu Ze had imagined.

Originally, Xu Ze thought about it, relying on the trench to avoid the stone rain, the casualties should be a big deal, but because the stone rain came suddenly, it was normal for nearly half of the casualties to be killed. In the end, less than one-third of the casualties were killed, most of them were wounded, and the total number of people who actually died was about 50.

"It seems that this trench is in the way, not completely without benefits!" Xu Ze suddenly sighed. Only when you have truly seen the rain of stones can you realize how powerless it is for people to resist when the terrible stones hit.

At this time, Xu Ze had no idea of filling the trench.

The Yuan army not only occupied the fortified city with high walls, but also had a large number of catapults and defensive equipment, and that was all there was to it, and it was useless if there were many things that no one used. However, the Yuan army has a large number of temporary recruited troops, and they may not be able to compete with the Xihe army on the frontal battlefield, but they still have the strength to throw stones from the city wall and roll oil.

"The order goes down, all missions are canceled, and an additional 500 men are sent into the trench, carrying more shields! And send someone to send an extra thousand shields! ”

"Order, Commander Sun Ye will take two thousand captives to the Cloud Mountains to make wooden platoons!"

Holding a shield on the top of the trench is only temporary, and the real reliance is still on the wooden platoon, although a qiē is not a cure, no matter in the face of the Yuan army's crowd tactics, or the terrifying trebuchet, the Xihe army, which lacks siege weapons and troops, is still powerless.

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, so she can only chew and swallow slowly!" Looking at the high wall, Xu Ze sighed.
