Chapter 357: Start

Chapter 357 Begin

Early the next morning, the sky was still dark and bright.

There was a sound of "Wu Dutou, Wu Dutou", like someone calling Wu Song, Second Brother Wu, in the TV series "Water Margin".

The confused soldier woke up and muttered:

"What the heck! Who is so unethical that he turns up the TV so loudly early in the morning, watches such old movies, and makes other people sleep?"

Just when he yawned heavily, he opened his eyes and took a look.

But he saw a man in armor in front of him, as well as the earthen city wall beneath him, as well as a large number of swords, guns, bows and arrows; what he smelled in his nose was the smell of morning dew.

The soldier's dizzy head finally came to his senses.

Yes! I am not in a safe modern plane, in a home where I still have several years to pay off my mortgage; I am instead being pulled into the mission world by the system, where I am performing a fatal system mission.

To be more specific, it was last night because I was worried that enemy troops would take advantage of the cover of darkness to steal the city in the middle of the night, so I led people to guard the city wall all night.

It wasn't until dawn that I found a corner, undressed and squinted.

The problems that Hu Biao could see could be seen by the netizens present, even if they were novices such as Stinky Old Fart, who had been working together in the mission for more than a month and fought two bloody battles.

Just when he thought about waiting for a while, he would shoot arrows at the people who were also members of the Han family, a huge flame suddenly rose in his heart.

Then, when the people carrying dirt on their backs, escorted by other people holding wooden shields in their hands, continued to move towards the city, Hu Biao still felt normal at that time.

This can only mean that these Jurchens are very ambitious. They want to fill up the moats on three sides of Haiyang City and then launch a fierce attack at the same time to form a siege that surrounds the three walls.

After seeing that the soldier finally opened his eyes, he immediately pointed to the Jurchen camp outside the city and said urgently:

"Wudutou, there seems to be some movement in the camp opposite~"

After it is filled in, it will probably be the legendary ant siege, right?

After that, throughout the night, there was a constant sound of "ding, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong!"

But the remaining two groups of people began to circle around Haiyang City in a large circle, heading in the east and west directions.

But after understanding this point, Hu Biao currently has few means to deal with it.

However, a large number of people were sent out to cut down some wood from far away and haul it back with carts.

If the city mobilizes some troops from the originally small number of troops to take the initiative, then the Jurchens will definitely be very happy to take the opportunity to entangle and eat them.

But as expected, most of the arrows were blocked by those large wooden shields.

He didn't even have time to wipe away the thick eye mucus in the corners of his eyes before he hurriedly stood up, stuck out his head, and looked towards the outside of the city.

As for sending cavalry out to kill them? You don’t have to think about such a thing.

Just like that, amid the sound of gongs "Dang Dang Dang~", people actually found an empty spot under the city wall to lie down and rest. Hu Biao and others did not go far at all.

It's a pity that there are ten generals under the one who keeps calling "Wu Dutou".

At least there is no way to prevent these Jurchens from driving the people to pile up dirt.

In the somewhat cold morning breeze, I saw at least four to five thousand young and strong people in tattered clothes, who were driven out from one side of the camp by a large number of Liao soldiers and a small number of Jurchens.

Then, when the people were three miles away, they stopped one after another.

The longing for my family was all suppressed at this moment.

In the eyes of many people, Hu Biao could only curse in his mouth:

"Archers, let's fire arrows. Our arrows should be enough anyway; let's keep the ballista for now. It looks like it will be of great use in the future~"

Because the hidden arrows of the Jurchen archers are definitely a greater threat than the 'armor-piercing wind'...

There were also some young and strong hands holding crude wooden shields improvised from thick tree trunks.

After thinking of this, the soldier frowned deeply.

If that's all, then it's nothing.

With a flash of inspiration in his head, he immediately reacted:

*******

"No! Their posture doesn't look like they are planning to fill in the moat~" Hu Biao, who was lying on the wall, came to this conclusion after watching the movement outside the city for a while.

I just didn't expect that these people were so efficient. Could they be all ready in one night?

The Jurchens and Liao soldiers who drove and guarded them did not see any ladders in their hands. The only tools necessary for siege were some swords.

At this time, he even prepared to order the archers on the city to release arrows immediately after these people reached a hundred steps below the city.

Because when he rushed up in a hurry, he could find that a large group of chaotic people had walked some distance towards Haiyang City. This group of people was divided into three groups.

At that time, they will be the ones who suffer in the exchange of bows and arrows; even the Jurchens can use old-fashioned catapults to throw stones into the city to destroy the city's defenses.

Immediately, under a collision of armors, they rushed up to the city wall to support them.

After gritting his teeth, he shouted loudly:

"All the ballistae are loaded immediately, the archers are ready, and the gongs are sounded to notify Hu Xuanzan that the Jurchens are coming~"

Upon seeing this, I heard that Yu Hanfeng and Lao She had boasted more than once about the soldiers who were on the mission to defend Suifengdun in the late Ming Dynasty.

Even if he doesn't want to do this, he must harden his heart.

Thinking about his wife's cooking, nagging, and children's naughty and cuteness, a warm smile suddenly appeared on the corner of this guy's mouth.

They all stopped, hurriedly took down the basket from behind, and dumped the soil on the ground.

Such a doubt, after the soldier's head was explored and observed, he gradually got some answers.

The amount of such a project is not small, but once it is successful, they will immediately occupy a condescending advantage.

Although the ballistae can be used, for each ballistae that needs to be specially made, such consumption is too high. In terms of the reserves in the city, it cannot support such a long battle.

As for the legendary shield chariots, ram chariots, nest chariots, watchtower chariots and other siege equipment, we have not seen them at all.

Among them, a group of about 1,500 people continued to advance towards the city.

Under Hu Biao's order, everyone on the city wall opened their bows and fired arrows, letting the dense rain of arrows go down.

Such a tactic is not new at all, but it is quite disgusting. When it comes to shooting arrows, we are all Han compatriots, so we really can't do it.

So they all looked at Hu Biao, waiting for this man to rush to the street and give the order.

If they don't fire arrows, can they just let them fill up the moat and then break through the city defense?

So when you release an arrow, you must release an arrow.

Damn it! The Jurchens were planning to drive the captive people to rush up with dirt on their backs and fill up their moat first.

As for the initial illusion that I was at home, maybe it was because in my sleep, I dreamed about my wife and children I hadn't seen for a long time, and I felt a little homesick.

After hearing such a sentence, the soldier immediately woke up completely with a tremor.

There is no way! Although since around noon yesterday, the Jurchens sent out a thousand infantry to test the attack and failed, they have never launched any attack again.

Veterans such as AT, Singer, Lao Hei, Lao Snake, and War Elephant, as well as expert archers such as Yue Fei, can pass through the gaps between the wooden shields and hit the target behind them.

From the appearance of the Jurchen army yesterday to the completion of the second phase of the mission, it seems that the several layers of heavy armor worn by netizens will never be removed.

Among them, the people wielding hoes and shovels filled baskets with soil.

Because there is a team of 500 Jurchen cavalry, they have been roaming outside the range of the eight oxen crossbows on the city wall.

The key to the problem is that when the common people who started charging at a distance of about 300 meters rushed to a position about 150 meters below the city.

The reason is simple. Although a bow and arrow can reach a distance of 150 meters, it cannot penetrate the strong wooden shield in the opponent's hand.

In the hands of these young and strong people, they did not hold swords and guns, but instead had many working tools such as hoes, shovels and baskets.

Then, under the cover of the wooden shield, while running towards the way to evacuate, Hu Biao finally came to his senses:

Damn it! The Jurchens are going to manually pile up a circle of dirt outside the city that is higher than the city wall of Haiyang City.

The problem is, the people shot to death in this process are all civilians.

Because the people around them were being shot to death, they were frightened. In addition to running back and running faster, they were soon driven away by the Jurchens again, carrying a new basket of soil on their backs.

Until they were completely exhausted, they were temporarily replaced by a new batch of people, or they were killed by arrows from the city.

Therefore, apart from the huge humiliation and anger, Hu Biao and the others had no sense of accomplishment at all regarding these results...
