Time: In the fourth year of Xuanhe's reign, around two o'clock in the afternoon on August 2nd, it was the day after Hu Biao and others used ballistae and trebuchets to smash the single-shooter cannons of the Jurchens.
If calculated carefully, they would need to continue persisting for 82 hours before the completion of this mission.
Location: The northern city wall of Haiyang City. This Jurchen has been the main attack area from beginning to end.
Squatting under the security wall, Hu Biao held a large bowl of rice in his hand, with a portion of braised horse meat in his mouth, and said, "Whoosh, whoosh!"
In a short period of time, I was sweating after eating.
Until the last grain of millet in the bowl was pulled into his mouth.
After burping with satisfaction, the guy raised his head and found two rookies, Xiufeng and Lao Tie, beside him. The food in their bowls was almost untouched.
Upon seeing this, Hu Biao quickly shouted:
"Eat quickly, the Jurchens will start to attack the city soon. If there is a fight, I don't know when the next meal will be. I will not have the strength to fight."
If he dies, he will still be an unjust starving ghost."
In the sound of "Oh~", both Gui Feng and Ye Gui simply agreed.
What! In fact, the simple principles like "How can you have the strength to fight if you don't eat enough" and "Don't starve to death" as Hu Biao said, are actually understood by two rookies, Gui Feng and Ye Gui.
It was just a trap. Even the two of them, novices, knew that the Jurchens wished that their will to fight had declined because they had a way to survive.
*******
Hu Biao only had time to pull out half of the trumpet on his mouth; Gui Feng and Ye Gui didn't even finish half of the food in their bowls.
They were still the kind of Jurchen archers whose archery skills were so accurate that they were far stronger than them.
After doing all this, he poked his head out of the wall and looked in the direction of the Jurchens outside the city.
With a sound of "Bah~", after spitting out the cigarette butt in his mouth far away, Hu Biao quickly put on a helmet full of sweat smell.
Just as they were about to pass through some reserved passages between the mounds, they began to slowly approach towards the city.
After gunpowder weapons could no longer be used, only wood, rolling stones, and gold juice were left.
Defending a city wall, in the Cold Weapon Age, was nothing more than a few tools and means, except for trebuchets, ballistas, and bat poles.
That kind of taste is truly top notch.
Otherwise, according to their experience, under the influence of the current hot weather, heavy armor and other factors, an elite warrior's physical reserve can only fight for 15 minutes.
After the two looked at each other, they just smiled meaningfully on their faces.
Under such a situation, they really had no choice but to do what Hu Biao did, and just start eating him up.
Of course, the premise is that these two rookies can survive for a day or two in the fierce siege battle; Hu Biao also has no idea about this.
Therefore, when the strong stench completely filled the entire city wall, the wild ghost and Gust of Wind both had their nostrils blocked.
Hu Biao still doesn't know whether the east and west walls are feints.
The reason is simple, because the sound of the horn should mean that the Jurchen attack has officially begun.
Secondly, the environment around them now is too bad.
With the sound of "hey~", the two to three hundred Xuange Camp soldiers and civilians on the city wall immediately started to take orders with a loud voice.
So they can only hold on, but frankly speaking, with such a disparity in military strength and combat effectiveness, can they hold on for 82 hours?
Regarding this point, Gui Feng and Ye Gui had no confidence at all.
And if they cannot stick to the time specified by the system, the mission may fail, and they will die here completely, and will never be able to return to the modern plane to meet their family members and the people they cannot forget.
The problem is that the situation, environment, and atmosphere at the scene are all too bad for eating.
Let them carry baskets and bags filled with soil on their backs and throw them into the moat with sharp arrows on their heads.
Therefore, as long as these two rookies experience it once, they will get used to it the next time they encounter this kind of thing.
Even if they really retreat from there, they will be easily slaughtered by the Jurchen cavalry.
The wood and rolling stones have already been prepared on the city wall, so there is no need for further operations.
But Yang Dongli and AT were guarding there with a group of people, so all he needed to care about now was to defend the current northern city wall.
I still felt a stench, which went straight to the Tianling Cap.
He also did not forget to put an iron mask on his face.
You are a rookie! There are always times when you are a little pretentious.
Driven by only a hundred Jurchens, there were about 700 Liao soldiers who surrendered to them, using the area behind the mound as their starting position.
At the same time, Hu Biao heard the sound of horns coming from outside the east and west walls. It seemed that the Jurchens were launching attacks from three directions, east, west and south. This time they launched attacks at the same time.
What is the situation like this? In the current hot weather environment, it will only take a day or two until there are more corpses piled up under the city.
You don't need to think about it to know that there must be a large number of archers ambushing you there.
Hu Biao glanced at the high platforms on the mound and could see that behind the rough wooden shields tied with logs, there were many figures flickering faintly.
Then, next, they will face a direct attack by the Jurchens; the exchange of bows and crossbows between the two sides will turn into a hand-to-hand fight without any fancy.
Because once the fight actually breaks out, he won't be able to care about these rookies anymore. Everything will depend on their own destiny...
Seeing the performance of the two of them, while Hu Biao was skillfully rolling the trumpet for himself and preparing a piece of his daily meal, he was talking to the old bird Langqing who had also finished eating.
But this does not mean that they will have no archers in this siege.
In that direction south of the city, it is calm despite the current situation.
That's because Hu Biao and the others not only need to defend three city walls, but they also need to set aside reserve teams and replacement teams.
Among them, the sword and shield bearers were in front, and the sword and ax hands were behind. The sword and ax hands carried about fifty or sixty ladders on their shoulders. There were no archers in the team.
When a long horn horn sounded outside the city, they immediately dropped all their actions.
However, in the following time, the food in the bowls of the two people continued to decrease at a rate that could not be much faster.
Therefore, facing the Jurchens outside the city, it was estimated that they had escaped the most fierce sun at noon, so they launched a formal attack on the city.
Suddenly, Hu Biao shouted the latest order in his mouth: "Everyone obeys the order, organizes the armor and weapons, and must fight back these grandsons~"
Compared with the opponent's siege force, the current force on the city wall seems to be smaller.
As a civilian, fighting for 10 consecutive minutes would be enough.
When they thought about such consequences, the two of them had no intention of eating or drinking.
First of all, since yesterday's failure in the trebuchet battle, the Jurchens outside the city continued to drive away the captive people as if their tails had been stepped on.
But barrels of aged Xiang were hurriedly picked up on the city wall; they also lit a fire in the stove that had been prepared long ago, mixed the Xiang with water and poured it into the big pot on the stove, heating it in advance.
stand up.
During the whole process, they didn't care about the casualties of the prisoners at all. As a result, at around 12 noon today, the moats on the east, west, north and west sides of Haiyang City were basically filled in.
Therefore, under such an arrangement, the northern city wall, which is currently the most important, can only be garrisoned in batches with less than 300 people.
Fortunately, based on Hu Biao's experience, he was confident that he could defend the opponent's attack before using the replacement team; however, the battle situation would indeed be quite difficult for rookies like Gust of Wind and Wild Ghost.
There is even a high probability that he will be killed in such a battle.
The problem is that the situation is so bad, what can Hu Biao do...
