The Liao soldiers poured out the arrows and crossbows in their hands without any hesitation.
Even for those crossbows that require more consumables, the officers and soldiers of the three armies have no intention of saving money.
The purpose of the Han army sending these unarmored criminals was to deplete their reserves.
If they want it, give it to them!
From the time Zhang Qi took power in Liao, the productivity of Liao was not comparable to that of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty relied on massive manpower to produce the required war equipment.
And Liao land, water, wind, and livestock are all means to increase productivity or narrow the gap between the enemy and ourselves.
Not to mention the steam engine that debuted last year.
This is more stable than the two natural forces of wind and water. If it hadn't been adapted, Liaoning and other places would have used it to do more precise work.
Moreover, Zhang Qi has been preparing for this war from beginning to end. Now the equipment of Liaodi is enough to support Zhang Qi's men in fighting a war for four to five years.
A rain of arrows washed the ground.
Crossbow pierced.
Blood spilled across the ground.
City barriers and fortifications, which were built in advance, brought countless conveniences to the Liao soldiers.
Each building group can be regarded as an independent battlefield, but there are other building groups on the left and right of the building group that can support each place.
Needless to say, the convenience of cement.
The sturdiness of these buildings cannot be compared to buildings made of rammed earth.
With such a long front and city barriers with nowhere to fight, the criminal army was taken away in waves.
They cannot retreat or escape.
Because behind every army of criminals, there is an overseer targeting their vital points.
"That's it, Ming Jin. If you die, the morale of the others will also be low."
"This group of rebels is really well equipped with weapons. It shows that they have been disobedient for a long time. Humph! We should have killed these traitors directly from the beginning!"
In the main tent of the Chinese army, General Yu Linlang, Wang Ze, snorted coldly.
The flag soldiers on the left and right rushed out of the tent quickly, delivered military orders to the battle line, and shouted gold.
When the golden sound sounded.
Countless criminals who were still alive had been frightened out of their wits, and their feces and urine were flowing out. The stench spread throughout all the military camps with their return.
These people have lost all their courage. The seemingly free attack frequency and precise shooting skills of the Liao soldiers are enough to make these people remember them for a lifetime.
Officers at all levels frowned and sent this group of criminals back to the camps where they were supposed to go and put them under strict supervision. These people were all prison criminals recruited from various counties and counties along the way when the Habayashi clan led their army northward.
His role is to be consumed. Those who are lucky enough to survive will have a chance to be pardoned after the war is over.
"Take care of it so it doesn't cause an epidemic."
A Yulin Lang frowned and ordered to the captain of the criminal camp.
Although there is nothing to care about these criminals, if the epidemic spreads together, it will be a disaster.
Hygiene is of great importance, otherwise every general would not regard food, housing, transportation, and guards as the most important aspects of the art of war.
As long as you have experienced a few times of leading troops in battles, you will be able to do it well, but being able to perfectly handle food, accommodation, and defense is the basis for becoming a famous general.
The captain of the criminal camp accepted the promise without any hesitation.
The Chinese military tent.
General Wang Ze stood in front of a huge map and watched.
Nowadays, the Liao rebel army relies on Shanggu, and the two counties of Yuyang have almost blocked the eastward route of the Han army.
Every pass and straight road is in the hands of the Liao rebels.
Not to mention the densely packed city barriers and construction fortifications spread along this long and diagonal front.
It's because they came quickly. If they had come slower, I'm afraid an extra Great Wall would have appeared out of thin air on this long diagonal front!

boom!
Wang Ze slapped his palm hard on the table.
"Turtle bastard shell! It's so damn hard!"
Today's attack is a test and an attempt.
The early arrival of the vanguard army can be regarded as a feeling of the bottom of Liao's military strength. There will always be a few flaws in such a long and oblique front.
But in today's attempt, Wang Ze didn't notice it.
The counterattack of the Liao rebels also gave him some general understanding of the offensive power of these rebels.
All in all, it is not easy to handle and difficult to chew.
"General, how about trying the water route?"
The voices of other generals sounded in the big tent.
Wang Ze sighed: "It's useless. His Majesty has been too indulgent in the Liao region in recent years. Judging from the intelligence collected, all the Bohai and Yellow Sea areas have been controlled by the rebellious minister Zhang Qi.
At the beginning of the chaos, the governor of Bohai County tried to send troops from the sea to penetrate into the heart of Liao Dynasty. However, before arriving in Liao Dynasty, the Bohai County navy was completely wiped out in the Bohai Sea. Bohai County was also immediately destroyed. The rebel army is in control, and the arsenal is in the hands of thieves. As for the rivers, water forts are everywhere, and the geographical advantage is no longer in our hands. "
"Then how to deal with it? The defense of these rebels is too tight. If we delay it for a long time, I will worry about criticism from the DPRK, Your Majesty."
The other general didn't finish his official words, but they were both Habayashi Lang, who often accompanied Liu Che, and they all knew His Majesty's current predicament.
Wang Ze frowned and stared at the map.
"In short, we must win the battle in Liaodi. We cannot live up to His Majesty's kindness over the years!"
"Pass my order to have a truce today, make food at Mao tomorrow, and send the criminal army to attack again!"
"Each department will seize the opportunity and, if possible, open a hole first!"
"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's grace!"
In the large tent, dozens of generals accepted the promise with their hands firmly in their eyes.
The Han army's offensive stopped.
The army also returned with gold medals.
On each city barrier, the Liao soldiers guarding the city did not show the slightest joy.
They are not the new recruits of the New Army. As the strongest three armies in Liao, Huben and Yingjing are already guarding Youyi in Juyanze. Every sergeant is dripping from the sea of blood from the mountain of corpses.
Therefore, they knew that the reason why the Han army retreated today was not because the Han army was afraid, but because the Han army was planning a bigger attack.
Today, they also felt the oppression of the huge crowds.
This kind of oppression is definitely not comparable to the small fights in the form of tribes such as grassland tribes and mountain forest savages.
Although the attackers this time were all unarmored criminals, the armored Han troops behind the criminals looking in the distance could be said to be invisible to the naked eye.
A city barrier.
Dianfeng took off the armor in his hand, picked up the water bag placed on the city barrier, opened it and drank it in one gulp.
As a commander of the 7th School of the 3rd Battalion of the Huben Army, the 212 people he led were responsible for the corner of the defense line located in the southeast of Yuyang County.
Because of its proximity to the sea, the attacks they received here were not violent.
"elder brother."
Dian Lei handed a box of cans to Dian Feng. The Han army retreated and they had a short rest.
Dianfeng pushed the can back and looked to the northwest with worried eyes.
Entering the confrontation, he could see the intensity of the attack there.
"I'm not hungry yet. Let everyone fix it while I stand guard."
