Central line of defense, watchtower.
"General, Hao Youduo, the commander of the Thousand Thousandth Battalion of the Arrow Battalion, would like to see you."
"Hao Youduo?" Dai Puyu glanced at the marching arrangements and couldn't help but frown, "If he isn't watching from the front, why is he here to show off?"
"My subordinates don't know. I only know that Hao Qianchang seems to be in a hurry and is sweating profusely."
Dai Puyu nodded, "Then let him come up."
After a while, the stairs creaked.
Hao Youduo hugged his helmet and hurriedly came to Dai Puyu in two steps. "I have seen the general."
"Excuse me, what happened on the front line?"
"General..." Hao Youduo glanced around and hesitated without daring to speak.
Dai Puyu was stunned and quickly reacted.
He waved his hand and said, "Let's put it bluntly, these are all my family members here, they don't get in the way."
"yes!"
Hao Youduo first took out a few arrows, and then explained his findings in detail.
"General, there are more and more Japanese pirates, but the front lines are full of arrows like this. Alas, brothers really don't have the strength to kill the enemy."
Dai Puyu remained silent.
He just looked at the arrows over and over again without much surprise on his face.
Hao Youduo was so anxious that he couldn't help but ask when Shang Feng remained silent for a long time: "General?"
Um.
Dai Puyu nodded, "I know this, and I will handle this matter seriously when I get down."
"Youdo," he comforted, "don't worry too much. It's not that more and more Japanese pirates are coming ashore, it's just a trap set by us."
"Trap?" Hao Youduo was confused.
"That's right. The generals have reached a consensus. There are too many Japanese pirates coming this time, and we can't eat them all at once. We can only let one batch go ashore first and eat them; then let another batch go ashore and eat them again. "
"There are already quite a few Japanese pirates ashore now. General Fang from the high ground on the left wing has given the right word just now. His trebuchet is increasing its firepower to cut off the Japanese pirates' subsequent reinforcements. By then, the Japanese pirates who have landed will become Rootless water, brothers can slowly disappear them."
"So that's it." Hao You was dubious, but he breathed a sigh of relief, "What about the arrow?"
"You don't need to worry about it. Let's go back to the position first, and the next batch of arrows will be delivered later. I will ensure that there will be no shortage of arrows on the front line."
"Thank you, General."
Hao Youduo asked a few more questions, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Dai Puyu looked at his subordinates leaving, his expression slowly becoming serious.
"Where is Fang Yinbao now? He's not coming towards us, is he?"
The guard next to him shook his head and said, "Go back to the general. The imperial envoy is now at the general's place in the left wing room."
"Very good." Dai Puyu breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised the arrow shaft full of insect holes in his hand, "How many more arrows like this are there in the warehouse? Send them to the front line quickly and use them as soon as possible."
Even if Fang Yinbao finds any clues by then, he won't be able to find out no matter how much he wants to.
"General," the military advisor who had been silent came closer, "Given the current situation on the front line, shouldn't we slow down for a while, for example, first send a few batches of good arrows up to repel the Japanese pirates?"
"No need!" Dai Puyu didn't care at all.
"There are falling rocks in the sky on the front line, large and small arrow arrays on the ground, and there are also kerosene, lime and rubber, plus so many infantrymen who are ready to hit the ground. The Japanese pirates just came ashore and wanted to cross the defense line carefully built by this general?"
"Dream!"
————
Hao Youduo rode his horse and hurried back to his position.
"General," the little guard came up to us with tears streaming down his face, "you are finally back."
Hao Youduo's heart tightened and he quickly looked around.
However, on the eastern coast where the clouds hang, the east wind blows mostly from the south in summer.
At this time, there was smoke and fire everywhere on the position, and there was still an annoyance floating towards the west.
Hao You looked around for a while, but he didn't understand the situation in front of him.
"Don't worry." He comforted: "Speak slowly, what happened?"
"...The Japanese pirates are about to kill us."
"Yeah." Hao Youduo nodded, not surprised at all.
They were the Arrow Battalion, originally deployed at the front line.
If the Japanese pirates were to attack us, they would be the first to be killed.
Hao Youduo said nothing and hurried forward.
It didn't take long for him to reach the front. When he raised his head and looked forward, he was shocked.
The layers ahead were filled with shields erected by the enemy, slowly pushing towards the west.
The Japanese pirate soldiers were not in a hurry at all. They put down a batch of sandbags every few steps, forming rows and rows of sandbag formations.
It can not only prevent cavalry charges, but also prevent arrows. It can also prevent the spread of fire oil.
If you encounter a large-scale rockfall, just place your shield on top of the sandbag and there will be a safe little fortress underneath.
"What a fool." Hao Youduo punched the sandbag in front of him hard.
It seems that Ishikawa Taki learned a lot of experience and lessons from the disastrous defeat of Doi Yuto last year.
"General, what should I do?"
what to do?
Hao You couldn't help but look up at the left wing high ground.
However, he waited for a long time, and could even see clearly the features of the Japanese pirate soldiers behind him through the eyes of his shield. However, the falling rocks in the sky showed no sign of moving this way.
"That's all. It's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself."
Hao Youduo looked fiercely at the group of ballistas behind him.
"I am ordering all the heavy crossbows to use their arrows to create a flat ground for me."
"Move on the trebuchet, load it with lime bombs, and fire as many as you can. I want to turn the ground in front of me into a blanket of white snow."
"Yes!" The messenger left in a hurry.
Not long after,
"put!"
Continuous sounds sounded.
Boo hoo hoo.
Countless crossbow arrows, large and small, flew past with ear-piercing whistling, and hit the shield in front of them heavily.
The power of the baggage carefully crafted by Yun Chui's Ministry of War is extraordinary and cannot be resisted by manpower.
Although several of the Japanese pirate soldiers were holding on to the big shields in their hands.
However, after a loud bang, the shields in their hands suddenly fell into pieces, and the soldiers behind them screamed and flew backwards, hitting the ground hard and unable to get up again.
The force of the crossbow arrow had not subsided, and it still pierced back, collapsing several layers of sandbags and plowing a bloody path before stopping.
Without the shields and sandbags, the Japanese pirate soldiers behind were exposed.
Hao Youduo's men immediately seized the opportunity to fire arrows, and soon they shot over one piece.
For a moment, the Japanese pirates' progress stopped.
At this time, the trebuchet finally started.
Hoo ho ho.
Bags of lime powder slid across the sky and flew above the Japanese pirates.
Buzz.
Flying, the white scales painted on the bag flashed with light and began to burn.
Wow.
After a while, the lime powder inside began to fall away.
Hao Youduo got angry this time and threw almost all the lime on hand at once.
In an instant, it seemed like a lime rain fell in the east.
There was a blanket of white everywhere, covering most of the Japanese pirate soldiers who came ashore.
Ahhhh!
"my eyes."
Ah chirp ah chirp.
"I can't breathe."
…
Because the southeast wind was blowing, some lime powder was blown to the front.
Hao Youduo covered his face with a wet cloth and looked carefully.
After a while, he laughed.
"Well done. Get the infantry battalion ready and go up and do what he brewed as soon as the smoke dissipates a little!"
cough.
The young guard next to him coughed and said, "General, it seems that the infantry battalion is not under our control."
"I know." Hao Youduo kicked him angrily, "Why don't you go and talk to Jiang Qianchang?" (End of Chapter)
