Suddenly, he heard someone in the crowd shouting. Then, everyone around him who was originally quiet began to shout and run. One person even hit the sack on his shoulder when he was running hard. He hit his shoulder, and the huge force almost knocked him down without preparation.
"Run!" His mind went blank, and he followed the others and ran toward the trench that was less than ten feet away. Seeing that the fastest man had already reached the ditch, and was about to stand up and pour out the dirt from his pocket, his keen ears heard a loud shout from the high platform opposite, "Fire the arrow!"
"Boohoo!"
He hurriedly looked up and saw a mass of black arrows with a deadly cold light falling rapidly towards him like a dark cloud.
Next, first there was the sound of arrows piercing into muscles, and then there was a scream.
Huang Ang saw that the man in front of him had a long arrow pierced through his thigh, and his whole body was nailed to the ground, crying in pain. The man was eating and joking with him in the morning. When he saw him, he immediately shouted to him for help.
He quickly avoided the other party's expectant and painful eyes. He had to seize the time between the two rounds of arrow rain, otherwise he knew that his end would be the same as the other party's. At this moment, he exerted his strength. When he exerted his strength, he immediately showed the strong physique of a monk. He arrived at the trench in just two steps, and immediately poured the soil in his pocket into the trench.
He couldn't throw away his pockets because there was only one for each person.
He had no choice. If these two trenches could not be filled up, they and others would not be able to stop.
Qin Si, who was wearing black leather armor, frowned as he looked at the slow progress ahead. Before that, he had come to inspect it twice in person. Regarding the defense of the refugee camp, he gave a high evaluation in his heart, thinking that Li Yang was worthy of being born into a family of generals for generations.
The positions of the two trenches were dug very delicately. It happened to be so that everyone on the high platform of the camp could shoot, but those from the bottom up could not. The first trench is the shooting distance of ordinary body-refining monks, and the second trench is the shooting distance of civilians. Under such a design, every time the attacker takes a step forward, he will be attacked by a ruthless rain of arrows from the camp.
According to his idea, before trying to attack by force, he should first consider failure. After crossing the river, we must first camp here. If we fail to attack by force, or if we cannot attack by force within one day, we can return to the camp to rest. Otherwise, if the attack fails during the day, the nearly 100,000 troops will have to cross the river and return to the other side. This is undoubtedly a very stupid and dangerous thing. However, when he made this suggestion during the pre-war arrangements, his colleagues said that he was overly worried.
One of Luo Shang's confidants, Supervisor Hu Yan, smiled and said: "The opponent only has a few thousand people, and among these thousands of people are old, weak, women and children. They have no time to protect themselves, so how can they dare to go out to attack our army of 100,000 people. General Qin is timid."
Seeing everyone agreeing with Hu Yan's remarks, Qin Si added: "The trench dug by the opponent is a problem that must be solved for our attack. We should have a more detailed plan. Do we need to make some front baffles to block arrows first?" Only in this way can we reduce the losses here and fill the trenches more efficiently."
Hu Wei and others said angrily in their hearts: "You, Qin Si, didn't tell you earlier, and you didn't mention it until tomorrow, but you are about to attack tomorrow. You, Qin Si, are deliberately hiding the truth. You are holding back your thoughts and want to envoy your Majesty today." Show yourself in front of us and use our stupidity to set off your wisdom?"
At that moment, Hu Yan said again: "There is no need to go to such trouble. Our 100,000 troops are placed there, and the legs on the other side are so scared that their legs are weak. It finally cleared up today. Who knows what the weather will be like in a few days? What if it's the northern government office? The battle between General Bo and the refugee forces is in danger, but we still stand still. So what does the King of Hejian think of us? What does the imperial court think of us? "
Hu Lu's words immediately made Luo Shang, who was originally hesitant, make up his mind. At the same time, he couldn't help but complain about Qin Si, why didn't you say these things earlier?
But he didn't think about how a man like Qin Si, who was serious about his words and smiles, could approach him. He didn't have time to go to the military camp to check and ask.
For Huang Ang and others, time passed very hard and slowly, but for Luo Shang at the rear, it passed very quickly. Originally, it was almost noon when the whole army crossed the Pi River and came here (the vanguard, Qin Si's troops, had crossed the river yesterday and built a pontoon bridge), but now it was already past midnight, and the first trench was Still couldn't break through. The tenacity of the refugees caused the front of the first trench to be filled with dead or injured soldiers, which made it even more difficult for Huang Ang and others to go back and forth.
Hu Yan had already seen Luo Shang's face looking ugly, and immediately brought his own soldiers to the front of the formation to supervise the battle. He ordered the battle line of the supervising team to move forward within the range of the opponent's bows and arrows, and asked those who were transporting earth to fill the trenches to fill the trenches with materials, whether it was soil, dead people or seriously injured people.
At this time, Huang Ang was already so tired that he could hardly breathe. He was kneeling on the ground and had just pushed a severely wounded man who was still twitching, when his eyes saw an arrow shot weakly towards him. His first reaction was to dodge, but when he glanced at the half-filled trench, his heart moved. Just when the arrow was about to hit him, he gritted his teeth and used his remaining strength. With a flash of lightning in his right hand, he shot the arrow that had already hit him. The limp arrow was held in his hand. Then he screamed loudly, as if he had been shot through by the bow and arrow held in his heart, his head fell forward, and he rolled down the slope.
There were many dead bodies scattered on the slope. He rolled a few times and reached the bottom of the slope. He easily pulled up a dead body. Then he climbed a few times in the opposite direction, and then took the dead body. The body was placed on his body. Feeling safe, he faced down and gasped for air, slowly regaining his strength.
The place he was in was among a few pointed thin wooden piles, but he was not afraid of being buried by the dumped soil above, especially because in the direction of the enemy camp, bows and arrows could not reach him. The feeling of escaping death made him involuntarily happy. The only thing he had to do now was to wait until dark, then climb up the slope, and then fly away.
After a while, he suddenly felt the light dim. Listening to the sounds above, he knew without looking that a wooden raft had finally been set up in his place, and groups of people were rushing towards the second trench on the creaking wooden rafts.
At this time, Huang Ang didn't care at all who would win and who would lose. He took advantage of the fact that no one could see the opportunity below, climbed deeper a few more times, and then slowly leaned against a wooden stake. Slowly regaining his strength. At this time, he was sure that he would survive today.
Only then did he have time to look carefully at the face of the corpse on top of him, and it turned out to be the man whose thigh was pierced by a long arrow in the first wave of arrows in front of him.
The arrow on his thigh had been broken into two pieces at some point, and it was pulled back and forth, exposing the white bones where it was penetrated. There were traces of being stepped on all over his body and face, and one of his eyes was almost bulged out from the socket.
Seeing the miserable death of the other party, Huang Ang sighed incomprehensibly and said in his heart: "Brother, I'm sorry. It's not that I didn't save you at that time, it's because I was a mud Buddha crossing the river and couldn't save myself. At night, brother, I will definitely dig a hole and bury you first. For the sake of me burying you, don’t resent me when you get there. What’s going on in this world? How can I mess with it? It’s a mess!”
It feels so good to be alive!
The distance between the second trench and the first trench was very short, less than two feet, but the trench was very wide and deep. Qin Si's observation at that time was only outside the first trench and did not come over. At this moment, he took the lead and led his men here, only to realize that this was the most dangerous place.
The bottom of the trench was covered with spikes, and the arrow rain from above was even more dense. And with so many of them crowded into such a narrow place, they couldn't do anything.
"Those behind, don't move forward any further!" He shouted angrily while using his shield to knock down a long arrow that was aimed at him.
"Everyone in the back, please move back!" After his soldiers heard this, they immediately shouted an order to the back.
Hu Yan, who was supervising the battle behind the first trench, had amazing hearing. He heard the voices of Qin Si's soldiers on such a noisy battlefield. He rolled his eyes and immediately shouted loudly: "The whole army advances, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy!" He and Qin Si usually had no grudges, but they just said in their hearts that he could not let them retreat before Luo Shijun ordered them to retreat. As for whether the people in front can fit in, that has nothing to do with Hu Ru.
In the eyes of his colleagues, Hu Yan has always been a very warm-hearted and hospitable person. Every time colleagues have fun together, Hu Lu is always there. If anything happens to any family, Hu Yan will always go over to help as soon as possible.
In Luo Shang's eyes, Hu Yan has always been a conscientious person who can carry out his orders immediately. At this point, Luo Shang was very satisfied with Hu Yan. Especially when there is someone like Qin Si among his subordinates.
Unlike Hu Wei, Qin Si could hardly play with his colleagues. Every time he was present, the scene seemed very cold, and everyone seemed to be infected by his unsmiling problem. In Luo Shang's eyes, Qin Si was even more of a thorn in the side. Although Luo Shang knew in his heart that this person was very capable and capable. But every time Luo Shang gave an order, Qin Si would immediately point out what was wrong and what was wrong. Although Luo Shang remained calm on the surface, over time, if something happened, he would not go to Qin Si unless he did so.
In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, Hu Yan and Qin Si were also completely different. Hu Lu is usually more friendly, and Qin Si is usually more strict. Hu Lu tried his best to take care of those monks who were from better backgrounds, while Qin Bin treated everyone equally. Qin Si and the soldiers in his tent ate the same food, Hu Si always ate and drank with those who were close to him, while ordinary soldiers deducted as much as they could.
According to Hu Yan's understanding of the combination of kindness and power, it is to be kind to some people and to be powerful to some people, and to treat them differently. Only in this way can this group of people wink, and can they do their best to please themselves, and only then can they have people who do their best to show themselves the things they ask.
Just like how he served Luo Shang.
No matter how unreasonable Luo Shangti's things are, you must implement them even if you understand them, and you must implement them resolutely even if you don't understand them. In this way, Luo Shang would value himself more and more among so many subordinates, rather than Qin Si.
Hu Yan didn't understand the well field reforms that Luo Shang carried out after entering Shu. In his opinion, this matter has nothing to do with himself. He is from Chenggu County, Liangzhou, not from Yizhou, nor from Shu. He doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand. As a person, he would never waste any extra thought on matters that had nothing to do with his own interests. But Luo Shang was his boss, the boss who held more than a thousand civil and military promotions in Yizhou.
In Hu Lu's eyes, the boss's affairs are his own affairs, whether it is a business matter or a private matter. As for things that are not your boss's, even if they are business matters, they have nothing to do with you.
According to the private chats among the better group of people who have been working in the military-military relations department all year round, there are three things a new official should do when he takes office. Luo Shijun has been away from Yizhou for many years. He just came back and saw how he could do it without giving some color to the powerful people in Yizhou. Those of us who have followed Luo Shijun since Liangzhou are Luo Shijun's disciples and soldiers, and we are the most trustworthy people for Luo Shijun. We should share more for Luo Shijun in order to fulfill our loyalty.
What Hu Yan himself was thinking was, could it be that Luo Shijun deliberately lost to refugees who were not as numerous as him in the past few times? With such a good reputation, he can continue to let those powerful people in Shu County provide money? Then let the entire Yizhou contribute money?
Now that these people are dead, wouldn't it mean that the well-field system would be implemented without any pressure?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was more reliable, and the more he admired Luo Shang. Tsk tsk, no wonder Luo Shijun has been in a high position of power for so many years. Look at his methods. You don't have to do it yourself to kill people.
It was precisely because he had always had this idea that at this time he didn't care about the life or death of the people in front of him or Qin Si's yelling over there, he just urged the team to keep driving people forward.
As for how many people died and whether the opponent could be captured, these were not things Hu Lu had to consider.
This had nothing to do with his own interests, so he instinctively ignored it. He only knew that Luo Shijun never gave an order to retreat, and that was enough.
"Hu Governor, what are you doing? Didn't you see that many of the people in front were squeezed under the trench by your own people?" Jordan saw a sudden chaos in front of him from behind, and immediately came over on horseback. He saw this Seeing the situation, he couldn't help but burst into anger.
Faced with Jordan's doubts, Hu Yan said with a cold face without fear: "The army was defeated like a mountain. This retreat has affected the morale of the army and makes us unable to defeat the opponent. Is this responsibility yours or mine?"
"You..." Jordan became even more angry at the opponent's words, "You can't attack the opponent like you are."
"Haha, it's too early for Qiao Yu to say that. You see, the enemy's arrow rain is no longer as dense as before. This hundred thousand army, even if they are allowed to shoot, they will be exhausted to death."
