The vast rain of arrows is really like raindrops. The point is that the leader of Wangbu is standing relatively high, so he can see very clearly. The archers of the Tang Dynasty are still very far away. I am afraid that at least they are A bow and arrow can shoot twice as far...
How on earth is this done?
If the opponent's arrows have such a deterrent effect, how can their army get close to the enemy? Just rush out and fight the enemy?
Look at the heavily armed soldiers holding shields at the front. How should the soldiers of their tribe fight with each other? With most of the wooden spears in their hands?
Even without those shields, the opponent is covered in steel armor! This is not the same level at all.
What's more, the opponent seems to have no idea of advancing at all. The soldiers near the city wall have been frightened, and many soldiers have retreated away from the city wall. Even so, the crossbow arrows that directly penetrate the city wall and shoot into the city from time to time will still bring Take a dozen lives!
The whole city was filled with miserable screams. Mountain people like them should be brave, because in the mountains, if you are not brave enough, you will not survive. But bravery does not mean that you are not afraid of death. The point is that if you fight the enemy in a bloody battle, you will not survive. Never mind. ,
But now the enemy is still a hundred meters away, and they... can only passively watch themselves being shot to death by the enemy!
Finally, dull footsteps came from outside the city, and the Tang army in shining armor in the distance moved! It was like a steel city wall, pressing uniformly towards the entire town.
But they still couldn't get close to the city wall, which was still covered by arrow rain.
When the thousands of soldiers in front of the enemy were approaching the city wall, the longbowmen following behind also began to advance, constantly throwing out arrows in their hands as they advanced.
The speed of shooting arrows by these longbowmen has slowed down, but the rain of arrows continues to extend to farther distances.
The leader of Wangbu faces a choice, surrender, or be attacked by the enemy into the city!
Looking at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they have begun to slash at the city walls with the swords in their hands. Some of the city walls that were damaged by crossbows have been broken open. The enemy will soon be able to get into the city, and their soldiers are now You can't even get close.
"Surrender! We surrender to the Tang Dynasty." The leader of Wangbu finally closed his eyes and said loudly.
Following his words, the guards following the big leader finally came to their senses and yelled. As the sound of "surrender" resounded throughout the city, countless soldiers knelt on the ground.
The fatal rain of arrows finally stopped. The leader of the Wang Department looked at the ground stained red with blood. He felt a sense of relief. The ground was already covered with arrows, and the arrows from all angles seemed to Grass growing from the ground.
Many arrows were still inserted into the bodies of the soldiers in the Wangbu department, and some of the soldiers who were still alive were still making miserable groans.
After confirming that the entire Wang tribe had surrendered, Zhang Liang was still a little dissatisfied. The feeling of being covered by arrows was so good. He had just asked the follow-up support troops to bring in the second wave of arrows.
As a result, they fell before the second wave of arrows arrived.
"Order the conscripts to cooperate with the troops to treat these soldiers in the Wangbu." Zhang Liang paused for a moment before giving the order.
After training in the military academy, Zhang Liang also understood a lot. It didn't matter whether his thoughts had changed, as long as he remembered to execute the order.
It is difficult for these older generation generals to change some personalities, but it doesn't matter, the new generation of generals are constantly growing up, and it will be much easier when they grow up.
Those who should be treated should still be treated, because this will be the ruling area of the Tang Dynasty in the future. If you do not want these people to hate the Tang Dynasty for generations, then the necessary tolerant policy should be adopted.
Although Zhang Liang had already understood this from his soldiers, it was actually impossible to expect them to hate the Tang Dynasty, because such war casualties were normal in the hearts of these mountain people.
They have long been numb. At most, the families of these dead soldiers may be resentful, but no one can satisfy anyone, as long as they can satisfy most people.
As long as most of the people here live a better life than before, the remaining small number of people don't have to worry about it. If they want to rebel, they don't even need to be stopped by the Tang Dynasty. Some of them will be stopped by their own villagers.
As the soldiers began to treat these Wangbu soldiers, Zhang Liang also raised his legs and prepared to enter the city.
Taking Wangbu means that the next step will be the people and cities of Piao State.
…
Hou Junji has already obtained the casualty statistics. The enemy's casualties are approximately close to 2,000, almost one-fifth. Among the 2,000, more than 1,000 have died. Although the remaining injuries have been recovered, Hou Junji has already obtained the casualty statistics. Treated by military doctors of the Tang Dynasty.
But how much they will survive, no one knows.
The number of casualties among Datang soldiers was 87, of which six were killed, only one was seriously injured, and the others were slightly injured.
There is no invincible existence on the battlefield. Even if the Tang Dynasty's army is armed to the teeth, there will always be unlucky ones when faced with dense arrow attacks from the other side. The ones who kill the most people on the battlefield are probably the stray arrows.
Everyone in Matsubu was full of awe when facing Datang's soldiers. The point was... Datang's treatment of them made everyone a little surprised and stunned.
First of all, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rescued their soldiers who were hit by arrows, instead of letting them save people themselves. And it was not just rescue. Judging from the other party's rescue method, the other party was obviously serious about saving people. At least many people whose arrows missed their vital points were quickly found ways to stop the bleeding and treat their wounds.
Judging from the extent of the other party's bandaging, it was obvious that they were more professional than themselves.
This made them all a little confused. According to their past experience, or the results of conflicts between themselves and other tribes, they were often left directly to the defeated people and left to save others. Whether they could survive or not depended on themselves. .
Victorious person, who will care about your life and death? It’s too late to grab so many good things.
But the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty first rescued people. After rescuing people, they started to let the captured soldiers clean the battlefield.
The corpses are collected and piled up, then cremated. Then all the arrows are recycled. The ones that can be used continue to be used, and the arrows that cannot be used are recycled. After the arrow shafts are made, they can be installed. If the arrows are damaged, just go back and recast them. .
These are things that the logistics troops have to do and have nothing to do with them.
What made these captured soldiers even more unexpected was that after Hou Junji captured them and gave them an explanation, he actually released them all!
