The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 54

It was mid-April, when the grass was growing and the warbler was flying. The vegetation was lush, and the soldiers besieged the city. Nanlou didn't realize that the Han army would set fire again.

Fortunately, not many soldiers came out to attack. The rockets only fired three rounds, covering a small area. The fire in the camp was completely extinguished in less than half an hour.

Nan Lou immediately ordered the bow and crossbow team to bring their bows and arrows, and they were divided into dozens of teams to patrol around the city where the arrows were shot.

The night was as silent as water, and I didn't realize that it was already the first watch.

The Wuhuan soldiers who were on patrol noticed that there were many black bodies protruding from the city wall not far away, falling along the city wall.

"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"

The patrolling soldiers were shocked, and while shooting arrows towards the city wall, they reported to the leader of Nanlou.

Hearing that the Han army attacked again at night, all the leaders panicked and gathered in Nanlou's tent, chattering and chattering, making Nanlou's brain burst.

He had the intention to move the camp back ten li or eight li overnight, but he was afraid that the siege would not be tight, so he left the Shangdang prefect and Yuan She.

If the camp is not moved, if the Han army attacks several times this night, who can withstand it?

Should the soldiers still sleep?People have to go to work tomorrow.

The most irritating thing is that there are not many people from the other party to sneak attack, so there is no need to make a big move, but it is impossible to take it seriously!
It's really annoying.

After thinking about it, Nan Lou ordered: "Pass me the command, but when the Han army comes down to the city, don't ask why, just shoot them with bows and arrows, I'll see how many lives they have to fill!"

The messengers led away, and the other leaders of the battalion also breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be good if they didn't have to confront the enemy. To be honest, they were terrified of "Yuan She" who wiped out [-] young and strong people in Wuhuan in the two wars.

This time, if they were not intimidated by the majesty of the leader of Nanlou, they would definitely not dare to attack Shangdang County.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the moon had set in the west in a blink of an eye, and it was dark all around, except for the sound of Wuhuan soldiers shooting arrows like rain, there was no other movement in the whole world.

Zhang Yang looked at the city wall, and said to Cheng Yuanzhi, "Marshal, the straw man is already full of arrows."

Cheng Yuanzhi glanced at the stars in the sky, estimated that it was already the second watch, and ordered: "Call work!"

The crowd got orders, a group of more than a dozen soldiers chanted, and pulled up the scarecrows in linen and black clothes with arrows all over their bodies.

After a while, all the scarecrows that had been put down were lifted up, and they were placed in clusters on the ground of the city wall, with brand-new arrows densely inserted into their bodies.

Zhang Yang was secretly amazed when he saw it, and counted with his fingers: "Each straw man has about fifty or sixty arrows on his body, and more than a thousand grass figures deserve...comfort...commander, how much should it be?"

"It's worth [-] to [-] sticks!"

Cheng Yuanzhi answered him angrily, and suddenly looked up alertly.

All around, a wind suddenly blew up, and it was cold on the face, and at the same time, the banners on the city tower fluttered slightly.

In the sky, the clouds moved with the wind and gradually connected together, covering the only faint starlight.

This is not good news for the Wuhuan people.

By the light of the fire, they found that the death squad of the Han army that was shot into a hornet's nest was coming again...

The man in black didn't seem to be afraid of pain, nor was he afraid of death. Despite the rain of arrows, he was still persistent and steadfastly landed towards the city.

After landing to the bottom, it seemed as if the ground was burning its feet, and it began to slowly rise into the air again.

More than 3000 Wuhuan crossbowmen stretched their bows and set up arrows, shooting desperately at the group of men in black.

They were afraid that the other party would slip down to the city and set fire to their camp.

Time passed little by little.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Dodododododododo...

Arrows rain down...

Every half an hour or so, a new batch of men in black would come down from the tower.

The arms of the Wuhuan crossbowmen were numb from shooting.

In the dark night, I couldn't tell the situation clearly, seeing the Han army continuously sending down people, the leader of Wuhuan who was in charge of giving orders also panicked.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot!"

For a while, the sound of shooting arrows became more intensive.

Suddenly, a rope was overwhelmed and broke.

The scarecrow in black fell down, making a muffled "bang".

Zhang Yang, who has keen hearing, immediately heard the situation, and reported to Cheng Yuanzhihui:

"Marshal, it's broken, one of Cao Ren'er fell."

He originally thought that the commander-in-chief would be flustered, but Cheng Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Isn't this just right!"

Zhang Yang was suddenly confused.

The longer he follows the commander-in-chief, the more he can't figure out the commander-in-chief's thoughts. He seems to be unconstrained, with no traces to be found, and like an antelope hanging horns, full of wonderful things.

Afterwards, if you taste it carefully, even a rough man like him will be intoxicated and admired.

Even, once in a while, when I realized the beauty, I would slap my thigh fiercely and shouted: "So that's how it is, it's wonderful!"

Unknowingly, it was the fifth watch, and seeing that the sky had lightened slightly, Cheng Yuanzhi shouted: "Retreat!"

Hearing these words, both the Han army above the city and the Wuhuan archers below the city all heaved a sigh of relief.

Damn, it's finally over.

After shooting all night, they had already had enough.

Soon, it was daylight.

Wuhuan big tent.

Nanlou paced back and forth quickly, not far from his feet, a scarecrow in black was lying there quietly, full of arrows like a hedgehog.

Nanlou didn't say a word, his face was gloomy like a volcano about to erupt.

He is not a commander who knows nothing about the art of war, but last night's plan of real and fake sneak attacks refreshed his understanding of the art of war.

Really wonderful!

Last night, he ordered all his troops to shoot ten thousand arrows in unison, as anxious as a shower, and shot two 10,000+ arrows in one night.The opponent must have easily obtained hundreds of thousands of arrows.

Nanlou knew that he had been tricked, and felt a little out of breath.

But after thinking about it, although the Han army took advantage twice in a row, the losses of the Wuhuan army were negligible.

It was nothing more than a few camp tents burned out and some arrows lost.

But Wuhuan has a lot of these things!
He used the right way to use his troops, so he could afford this small loss.

At the same time, he also really wanted to see what the coach opposite him could do to break his [-] siege!
Thinking of this, Nanlou's mood gradually calmed down, and he told the leaders not to panic, but to perform their duties and just keep their positions.

At the same time, he ordered that if another man in black came down to the city, he would wait and see for a while before deciding whether to shoot or not.

In the eldest son city.

Beside the stacks of arrows, all the soldiers were beaming, and Zhang Yang said to Cheng Yuanzhi cheerfully:
"Marshal, we got 15 arrows in one night, our army can defend the city without any worries!"

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and shook his head in silence, waving his hands to order the soldiers who had stayed up all night to change shifts and rest, leaving Su to defend the city while he returned to the prefect's mansion and fell asleep.

The second night.

When the Wuhuan people saw that the Han army hanged the grass man in black from the city again, and did not shoot arrows, they all burst into laughter.

Repeated this several times, but no Wuhuan crossbowmen were seen shooting arrows.

Cheng Yuanzhi saw that the time was right and the enemy army was already paralyzed, so he quickly hanged down [-] warriors and rushed straight to the Wuhuan tribe.

At this time, all the Wuhuan Bow and Crossbow Troops were sitting on the ground, some were dozing off, some saw it, but they didn't care.

Under the leadership of Sugai and under the cover of the night, eight hundred warriors rushed into the bow and crossbow team with lightning speed and killed them all.

The Wuhuan people were caught off guard, and they were thrown into chaos.

Cheng Yuanzhi took this opportunity to lead his troops out of the city, and they went on a rampage.He was so killed that he abandoned the camp and fled. He lost his soldiers and lost his generals, so he had to retreat five miles to stabilize his position and set up a camp.

After dawn, after an inventory, the Wuhuan tribe lost more than [-] people, while the Han army only left less than [-] corpses.

Nanlou's violent temper suddenly became uncontrollable.

Thinking that he came here with a crowd of one hundred thousand, and he suffered three defeats in a row before he could stand firmly on his heels.

Who will believe this?

He is Nanlou, the leader of the nine thousand Wuhuan tribe!

He became the leader by virtue of his own ability.

If this field can't be found, how will he lead the team in the future?

At this moment, all the leaders looked at him with strange eyes, and the morale of the army was floating.

Thinking of this, Nanlou forced himself to calm down, and said with a loud smile:

"Everyone, don't panic. Although I, Wuhuan, have lost three battles in a row, there are still [-] warriors, food, grass, armaments and horses. This Shangdang County is still under our control..."

Hearing this, the leaders thought for a moment: That's right, one hundred thousand soldiers are still there, so there is really no need to panic.

Seeing that everyone's faces softened, Nanlou continued:

"What happened before was all due to my lack of thoughtfulness. From today onwards, all ministries will speed up building siege equipment, and go to the city every day to challenge the battle array. When the equipment is ready, I will immediately destroy the city and kill everyone!"

All the leaders took orders one after another and left with their hands folded.

A crisis is invisible.

Nan Lou let out a long sigh of relief.
