Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 360
Time: Around two o'clock in the afternoon on August [-]nd in the fourth year of Xuanhe, that is, the second day after Hu Biao and the others smashed the Jurchens' single-pointed cannons with ballistas and trebuchets.

If they calculated it carefully, they would still need to persist for 82 hours before the completion of this task.

Location: On the north wall of Haiyang City, this Jurchen has always been the main offensive area.

Squatting under the security wall, Hu Biao was holding a large bowl of millet rice in his hand, and he pulled a portion of braised horse meat into his mouth with a 'wheeze, wheeze~'.

In a short while, I was sweating from eating.

Until the last grain of millet in the bowl was pulled into his mouth.

After belching a satisfied guy, he raised his head and found that Gu Feng and Lao Tie, two rookies beside him, barely touched the food in their bowls.

Seeing this, Hu Biao quickly yelled:
"Hurry up and eat, maybe the Jurchens will start attacking the city after a while; this is really a fight, and I don't know when I will wait for the next meal, so I don't have the strength to fight.

If he died, he would still be a wronged starving ghost. "

In the sound of "Oh~", Gu Feng and Ye Gui agreed so simply.

It's just that in the following time, the food in the bowls of the two of them decreased at a speed that was still not too fast.

well!In fact, like Hu Biao's simple truths such as "how can you fight a war if you don't eat enough" and "don't be a starving ghost", two rookies, Gu Feng and Ye Gui, actually understand it.

The problem is that the situation, environment, and atmosphere of the scene are too harsh for eating.

First of all, since yesterday's failure in the catapult confrontation, the Jurchens outside the city seemed to have been stepped on their tails, and kept driving the captive people away.

Let them carry baskets and bags full of soil on their backs, and keep throwing them into the moat with sharp arrows above their heads.

During the whole process, they didn't care about the deaths and injuries of those captives. As a result, at around 12 o'clock today, the moats on the east, west, north, and east sides of Haiyang City were basically filled.

Then, next, they will face the Jurchen's direct attack on the city; the two sides will also change from crossbow shooting to no fancy hand-to-hand combat.

In that direction to the south of the city, don't look at the current calm.

It was just a trap, even if they were rookies, the Jurchens wished that they would lose their will to fight because they had a way out.

Even if they really retreated from there, they would be easily slaughtered by the Jurchens cavalry.

So they can only defend to the death, but frankly speaking, with such a disparity in military strength and combat effectiveness, can they defend for 82 hours?
For such a point, Gu Feng and Ye Gui didn't have any confidence in their hearts.

And if they can't stick to the time stipulated by the system, the task may fail, and they will die here completely, and they will never be able to return to the modern plane to meet their family members and people they will never forget.

Thinking of such consequences, the two of them had no intention of eating and drinking.

Secondly, the environment around them is too bad to say the least.

The defense of the city wall, in the era of cold weapons, is nothing more than a few things and means, except for trebuchets, ballistas, and racket sticks.

After gunpowder weapons can no longer be used, there are only things like wood, rolling stones, and gold juice left.

Therefore, facing the Jurchens outside the city, it is estimated that they have escaped the time when the sun is at its most vicious at noon, and they will launch a formal attack on the city.

Wood and rolling stones have already been prepared on the city wall, and there is no need for more operations.

But buckets of aged Xiang were hurriedly picked up on the city wall; a fire was lit on the stove that had been prepared long ago, and Xiang was poured into the cauldron on the stove after being mixed with water to heat it up in advance. stand up.

So, when the strong stench completely permeated the entire city wall, the wild ghost and gust of wind blocked their nostrils.

I still felt a stench, and rushed directly to the Tianling Gai.

Under such a situation, they really have no way to be like Hu Biao, just to pick up and pull up after a big mouthful.

Seeing the performance of the two of them, Hu Biao proficiently rolled up the trumpet for himself and prepared one after the daily meal, while chatting with the old bird wolf who had also finished eating.

After the two looked at each other, they just smiled meaningfully on their faces.

rookie it!There are always some hypocritical moments.

What is the situation in front of you?Under the current hot weather environment, it only takes a day or two until there are more corpses piled up under the city.

Such a taste is the real top.

So, as long as these two rookies experience it personally, they will get used to it the next time they encounter this kind of thing.

Of course, the premise is that these two rookies can continue to survive for a day or two in the fierce siege battle; Hu Biao is also uncertain about this point.

Because once the fight starts, he won't care about these rookies anymore, everything will depend on their own luck...

*******
Hu Biao only had time to smoke half of a horn on his mouth; Gu Feng and Ye Gui didn't even eat half of the food in their bowls.

When a long horn sounded outside the city, they immediately let them put down all the movements in their hands.

The reason is very simple, because the sound of the bull horn should represent the official start of the Jurchen's attack.

With a sound of 'Bah~', after spitting out the cigarette butt in his mouth for a long distance, Hu Biao quickly put on a helmet full of sweaty smell.

He hasn't forgotten to put an iron mask on his face as well.

After doing all this, he poked his head out of the wall and looked in the direction of the Jurchens outside the city.

Driven by a hundred Jurchens, there were about 700 Liao soldiers who surrendered to them, starting from the area behind the mound.

I was about to pass through some passages reserved between the mounds.He began to approach the city slowly.

Among them, the sword and shield hands are in front, and the sword and ax hands are behind, and the sword and ax hands are carrying fifty or sixty ladders on their shoulders; in the team, there is no archer.

But it doesn't mean that they don't have archers in this siege.

Hu Biao glanced at the high platforms on the mound, and found that behind the rough wooden shields tied with logs, there were many figures flickering faintly.

You don't need to think about it to know that there must be a lot of archers ambushing there.

It's still the kind of Jurchens archers who are so accurate that they are far stronger than them.

At the same time, Hu Biao heard the sound of horns coming from outside the east and west walls. It was presumed that the Jurchens were attacking at the same time in three directions, east, west, and south.

Hu Biao still doesn't know whether the east and west walls are feint attacks.

But there are Yang Dongli and AT there with a group of guards, so what he needs to care about now is to defend the current northern city wall.

Immediately, Hu Biao yelled out the latest order: "Everyone obeys orders, tidy up your armor and weapons, and beat these grandsons back~"

With the sound of "Here~", the two or three hundred soldiers and civilian husbands of the Xuange Battalion on the city wall suddenly took orders in their mouths.

Compared with the opponent's siege force, the current force on the city wall seems to be smaller and older.

That's because Hu Biao and the others not only need to defend the three walls, but also reserve a reserve team and a replacement team.

Otherwise, according to their experience, under the current hot weather, heavy armor and other factors, an elite fighter's physical reserve can fight for 15 minutes.

For a civilian husband, 10 minutes of continuous fighting would be enough.

Therefore, under such an arrangement, less than 300 people can only be stationed in a batch on the most important northern city wall.

Fortunately, with Hu Biao's experience, he is confident that he can defend the opponent's attack before using a replacement team; it's just that the battle situation will indeed be quite difficult for rookies like gusts of wind and wild ghosts.

There is even a high probability that he will be involved in such a battle.

The problem is that the situation is so bad, what can Hu Biao do...
