The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 64 Experience Despair
"Calm down, general, calm down." Old man Liu was so frightened that he quickly spread his hands, tears were about to fall.

"Are you sure you can reach the village after taking this slope?" Bai Lixiong asked again.

"Sure, I swear by my personality." Old man Liu said with two fingers raised.

I don't know if there is a personality.

"roll roll roll."

Bai Lixiong waved his hands irritably, asking the soldiers to push Old Man Liu down, and turned to look at the two arrow towers in front of him.

If there are no other buildings and militia for defense, this arrow tower can only be built in such a dangerous location, and it must be a must-pass area for marching.

The choice of this location is very accurate, similar to the previous uphill. The key is that if you don’t fight, you have to take a detour, which will take more time. It is hard to guarantee that other roads will not have this kind of arrow tower.

So in any case, the arrow tower on the last section of the road must be taken.

"General, you must take it quickly, or it will be delayed until dark." The centurion said worriedly.

"Same as before, let the soldiers in front block it with shields, and the people in the back shoot me hard, and tell the brothers that as long as they take down these two arrow towers, rush into the village, and the women inside can enjoy them as they please."

Bailixiong must win this battle. If he can't even defeat this small village, what's the point of fighting for the country?

Although this village is full of weirdness, no matter how weird it is, it is still a village. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks will disappear in smoke.

"Here."

The centurion bowed his hands and went down to direct the battle.

"Deng Deng."

A group of Qin troops began to advance slowly with the sound of footsteps, consistent with the previous tactics, and after approaching, they shot at the militiamen on the tower.

You can't carry a siege chariot into the mountains, you can only use this way of killing people.

Although it was only a small blocking battle, it was very uncomfortable for the Qin army.

Just two arrow towers and eight people can block 500 people for a full hour and a half. If a real war happens, such tactics will definitely be fatal.

Bai Lixiong couldn't besiege it, cut off the reinforcements and other strategies, because time didn't allow it.

"Don't they know that there are no reinforcements behind, and they have been abandoned by their so-called lord?"

Bailixiong was a little confused. Although the militiamen in the arrow tower were a little scared, none of them surrendered. They all persisted until the end, until the last person died.

"Yeah, this is too scary." The centurion next to him, Shen You, felt the same way. If the army went deep alone and was surrounded by the enemy, surrender was the only option.

Otherwise, there is only death. In the face of death, everyone will have the desire to survive.

There is no shame in surrendering. Wars in the Warring States Period sometimes involved the surrender of entire armies.

The most typical is the defeat of Zhao State, and 30 soldiers surrendered to Qin State. These days, they are all fighting for a bite of food. What kind of country is too far away for ordinary soldiers.

It took more than 30 soldiers to take down these two arrow towers.

Bai Lixiong felt that he played too uselessly. Although he won, he felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"Crossing this slope, you can see Dahan Village. General, you have done everything you asked me to do. Please let me go, General." Old man Liu said pitifully.

"Don't worry, I will let you go when the general takes down the village."

Bai Lixiong put away the emotions in his heart.

He is very disdainful of people like Old Man Liu, and he doesn't want to let him go. When the last drop of residual value is squeezed out, he will be slaughtered.

"Go ahead and capture the village before dark."

Bai Lixiong drew out his long sword and pointed forward, roaring loudly.

"kill."

The Qin army in front raised their weapons excitedly and rushed up the hillside. The soldiers held it in for a long time.

Starting from Xianyang, I kept rushing all the way, and experienced two more attacks from arrow towers. I couldn't hold back the evil spirit in my heart for a long time, and wanted to quickly break through the village and find a woman to vent my anger.

For veterans who have been fighting for years, this is nothing more than normal.

Sometimes after many years of fighting outside, if the general does not let the soldiers under him vent their anger, it will easily lead to squatting and mutiny.

That's why rape and kidnapping of women from good families often happened, and the generals above turned a blind eye.

village center.

Su Lin heard Sha Niu's prompt and knew that the last line of defense had also been breached.

He suddenly opened his eyes and said with a sneer, "I want to see how they broke through the village?"

After speaking, he stood up, took the bronze long sword on the sword stand, and stepped out of the hall.

"My lord, why did you come out? It's dangerous here."

Li Jinlong served as the commander-in-chief of the operation this time, busy at the forefront of the village's defense.

Seeing Su Lin coming out, he hurried to meet him.

Su Lin was dressed in black clothes, with black hair standing up, and cowhide boots under his feet, with a heroic appearance.

"What's the use of hiding behind? Once the village is breached, what's the difference?" Su Lin laughed.

"Here." Li Jinlong nodded.

"Are you sure about this battle?"

Su Lin glanced at Li Jinlong, there was no other way, there was no general Liao Hua in Shuzhong to be the vanguard, and there were no available generals under his command, comprehensively, only Li Jinlong could take on this role.

Li Jinlong did not disappoint Su Lin either, showing his due commanding skills.

At least the defense work on the front line is well arranged.

"If the Qin army dares to attack, we will surely win." Li Jinlong puffed up his chest and said confidently.

Then the shouts from the other side of the hillside sounded, and the final attack began.

After Qin Jun went up the hillside, he could see the whole picture of the village, but after the Qin Jun in front rushed up, they all stayed there, looking down with a strange or dull expression.

"what happened?"

Baili Xiong sensed that something was wrong with the soldiers, so he asked the soldiers next to him to hold the horse and run up the hillside quickly with the sword in hand.

"General, general, look, this..."

The centurion met Bai Lixiong on the hillside, and pointed at the village below with a bitter face.

"What happened, it scares you."

Bai Lixiong reprimanded dissatisfiedly, then pushed the centurion away, and walked forward to look at the situation below.

The result is no different from the expression of ordinary soldiers.

sluggish.

There is a river on the left of the village not far away, and a high mountain on the right. Only the front and back can lead to the village.

But at the front of the village, a one-meter-high earth wall was piled up with mud, and then the whole village was surrounded by wooden fences, and densely packed arrow towers were built behind the wooden fences.

Yes, it is the same as the arrow tower they built before, even higher.

Because these arrow towers are built on flat ground, if they are too low, they will not achieve the defensive effect.

despair.

Endless despair rose in Bailixiong's heart.

How is this played?
It took so long to take down the two arrow towers. If you want to take down this village, how can this few people be enough?
Is this fucking still a village?Why does it feel harder to fight than a city.

The centurion pointed with his fingers, counting the number of arrow towers, and then said in surprise: "General, there are 32 arrow towers in total."

"I saw it."

Bai Lixiong had a dark look on his face. What's the use of checking the quantity? You can tell there are a lot at a glance.

"General, what should we do next? We must not attack by force. Once we attack by force, we will definitely not have enough manpower, so we can only outsmart them." The centurion nodded after finishing speaking.

Baili Xiong smiled and said: "You have said everything that needs to be said, so how can you outwit it?"

The centurion rubbed his chin and said, "Forcing is not enough, lure them out to fight us head-on."

"It's like you didn't let go of your fart. They have such a big advantage, how could they come out..."

Bai Lixiong ridiculed the centurion for taking it for granted, did he treat his enemies as fools?

Suddenly, it seemed as if something had been caught.

"Yes, maybe we can lure them out." Bai Lixiong said excitedly, his eyes lit up.
