As the saying goes, those who are bold are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives.
Perhaps the Japanese pirates were also frightened by the madness of the fifth arrow battalion. For most of the hour after coming down, until the two battalions rotated, they hardly attacked them seriously.
Phew~
When the sun went down and all the brothers had completely withdrawn from the battlefield, Hao Youduo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fuck, we survived!"
"Yes. I've made a lot of money." The little guard snapped the arrow shaft full of bug holes in his hand, with a look of relief on his face as well.
He was ready to fight to the death in a sand battle.
————
midnight.
The temperature finally dropped.
Dai Puyu had been busy at the watchtower for a long time, and now she was sleeping soundly.
Sudden,
Bang bang bang.
A series of fierce knocks on the door woke him up from his dream.
"General, general! Wake up, something serious is going to happen!"
"Damn it!"
Disturbing people's dreams is tantamount to seeking wealth and murder.
Dai Puyu opened her eyes vaguely and was so angry that she touched her sword everywhere, wanting to give the reckless guy outside a hard blow.
However, before he could find the matching sword, the knocking on the door became even more intense, as if the door was being torn down.
"Noise, noisy, noisy, noisy! What's going on in the middle of the night?"
Dai Puyu finally woke up and opened the door with a dark face.
Outside the door were his military advisors and lieutenants, all of whom had anxious faces.
"General, something serious has happened. The Japanese pirates are attacking day and night, and our defense line has completely collapsed."
What?
Dai Puyu doubted his ears.
In the afternoon, he also praised the solid defense line except Hao Youduo.
Why did the entire front line change after just one sleep?
"General, general?"
Seeing Dai Puyu standing blankly, the military advisors thought he was not awake and quickly shook his body.
Dai Puyu finally came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.
He didn't bother to put on his clothes and hurriedly walked towards the watchtower, "What's going on?"
well.
The military advisors sighed in unison.
What else could happen!
In one sentence, the Japanese pirates had just broken through their defense line.
A group of people went up to the watchtower.
Dai Puyu held up the telescope and looked around.
However, in the vast darkness, he could only see raging fires everywhere in front of him, and could not see anything else clearly.
"General, the Japanese pirates came so fast that our brothers were unable to organize an effective line of defense. They had to light the kerosene in the trenches and blocked the enemy in front of the first trench."
"That's it." Dai Puyu suddenly realized.
He put down the binoculars, his heart pounding.
"Where are our casualties?"
"this……"
The military advisors looked at each other, each one hesitant and afraid to say anything.
But they also understood that this was an unavoidable problem, so they had no choice but to speak hoarsely.
"Back to the general, after the Japanese pirates broke through the first line of defense, we fell into chaos. Except for a few cavalry who were able to escape with their mounts, the others... almost the entire army was destroyed."
Buzz~
Dai Puyu was mentally prepared, but she still couldn't help feeling dizzy.
After all, he was the leading general, so he quickly calmed down.
"Immediately send more manpower to resolutely guard the first trench, and at the same time wait for opportunities to counterattack. We must drive the Japanese pirates back to the seaside before noon tomorrow."
Otherwise, once the news reaches the ears of the legion general or the imperial envoy Fang Yinbao, it will not look good.
"yes!"
The responses from the lieutenants were somewhat sparse, and they obviously didn't have much confidence.
Dai Puyu didn't pay attention to this and turned to look towards the left wing high ground.
"Immediately send someone to notify General Fang and ask him to cooperate with our counterattack. If necessary, launch the trebuchet group in full force and smash everything east of the first trench for several rounds."
"Yes!" The messenger hurried away.
Lieutenants, you look at me and I look at you, finally feeling a little more confident.
The news quickly spread to the left wing high ground.
Fang Yuanwu was extremely busy, and fell silent for a while after seeing the news about Dai Puyu.
Trebuchets are bulky and not as easy to hide as large and small arrows.
As a result, Fang Yinbao was immediately caught.
After only being turned on for such a short time, the rock riprap units on the highlands began to be extensively damaged, unable to start, and even fell apart...
If it was a few or a dozen, Fang Yuanwu could still find some excuses.
But there are so many broken trebuchets nowadays that he can't find any excuse at all. He can only say that the damage is not serious and can be repaired and returned to normal soon, in order to deceive him and get through.
It is a pity that Fang Yinbao followed Yuan Xingwen of Zhennang Pass to the battlefield and even passed the entire Nanfeng Pass.
As long as he goes to check, he will probably know whether the damaged trebuchets can be repaired or how long it will take to repair them.
At this moment, Fang Yinbao ignored the darkness and was inspecting the area with his trebuchets one by one.
Fang Yuanwu thought about it, but couldn't find a solution at all. For a while, he even wanted to kill people and silence them.
But Fang Yinbao was an imperial envoy sent by the emperor. Without the permission and strict arrangements of the legion general, he could not and did not dare to move at all.
Bang bang.
At this time, the door banged again.
What else is wrong?
While he was troubled, Fang Yuanwu's tone was not very good.
"Come in!"
The soldiers who came in were out of breath and had no time to care about this.
"General, the Japanese pirates are attacking our position with all their strength. Now they have reached the mountainside. There are heavy casualties on the front line. All departments are requesting support."
What?
Hitting halfway up the mountain?
Fang Yuanwu was startled and quickly took the battle report and glanced at it quickly.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and he quickly turned to glare at a thousand-year-old man not far away.
"Why are you still dazed? Hurry up and bring your people up and beat down the little devil."
"Yes." The man didn't dare to say anything and left in a hurry.
"General," the chief military advisor looked left and right, but saw no one else moving, so he had no choice but to move over, "Dai...General Dai is still waiting for our reply."
Fang Yuanwu came back to his senses and remembered Dai Puyu's request, and felt his head feel as big as a bucket again.
"What exactly does the front line of defense do?"
He couldn't help but curse.
"The Japanese pirates were hungry and had nothing in their hands. Dai Puyu and those bastards had everything they wanted, but they were pushed to the vicinity of the first ditch."
"If there weren't those trenches blocking the way, wouldn't the Japanese pirates push them directly to where the general is?"
"That's unreasonable! A bunch of losers!"
"General..." The military advisor originally despised the frontal defense line.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered the urgent request for help halfway up the mountain, and silently closed his mouth.
Both families are now at odds with each other, and no one is any better than the other.
well.
Fang Yuanwu let out a long sigh.
Scolding and scolding, dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction, but it is also the responsibility of their left wing to attack the Japanese pirates who came ashore.
"Stop attacking the sea. Call in all engineers, transfer the trebuchets that can still be used, and cooperate with the frontal defense line to attack the enemy in front of the first trench."
"General," the military advisor's voice was so anxious that he said, "You must not do this."
If no one blocks the continuous attacks at sea, more and more Japanese pirates will come ashore. By then, whether it is the frontal defense line or the high ground on their left flank, the pressure will only increase.
Fang Yuanwu was a little helpless, "You can't do this or that. Then tell me, what should I do now?"
"This..." The military advisor's eyes flickered.
He hesitated for a long time before speaking slowly and with a bitter tone.
"General, how about we ask for help from the East China Sea Barrier?"
