Chapter Twenty-two Counting 8

Nong Xiaogao was very upset. When he brought the remaining 3,000 Guangyuan Army troops to Jiangzuo Camp along the traces left by the enemy's escape, Nong Xiaogao was very upset. This was not a camp, it was obviously a city and a black castle.

When he learned that the Daiyi tribe was going to launch a large army to attack the new camp, Zhou Shixiong had imagined giving up the camp and retreating to the Jiangzuo Camp. Because the site of the Jiangzuo Camp was very good, with the steep mountain walls on its back, there was a road that could detour to the highland valleys in a long distance, and only the cable bridge built by Jiangzuo Camp could climb up the cliff. On the left side of the camp was a river with rapid water flow, which not only provided power to the water truck, but also played a moat and protected the camp.

On the right is a primitive jungle, and tall trees have become suitable raw materials and are piled up in the camp wood area. The place where they originally grew was only large swaths of shrubs and thorns. On the front of the camp, there was only a double-lane gravel road. Not to mention that the efficiency was high, only 3,000 people, even if there were 30,000 people, they could only send hundreds of people to attack the camp, and they could not use their number of advantages.

As for the city walls of the camp, there are brick and stone walls built on the front and right sides. There are only wooden stakes half a person high in the water. If the enemy can approach the wooden stake area against the water, they can easily climb over the wooden stakes and enter the camp. The problem is that the ship cannot pass through the shallow river channel, and the wooden rafts cannot withstand the impact of the water flow. Only by using the traction wooden rafts with winch and pulley sets can they reach the right side of the camp. As long as the people in the camp are not crazy, it is difficult for Nong Feigao to take this sailboat.

Looking at the narrow passage and looking at the black castle two hundred meters away, Nong Xiaogao brows deeply. Did he give up like that? The tall water truck in the camp drove a giant hammer and hit the steel ingots one by one. The blacksmiths were using cold forging to forge half-body armor for the soldiers. The huge striking sound not only brought vitality to the camp, but also stimulated the heart of the Dai barbarians who pursued wealth.

On the short city wall that was only a few hundred meters long, the Three Hundred Jinyiwei and Seven Hundred Auxiliary Soldiers stood solemnly. Several officers and managers with titles revolved around Guan Chongguang, the commander-in-chief, and they were also observing the situation of Guangyuan Army.

In order to solve the problem of crossbows being afraid of water, Gong Liu mobilized his hand to temporarily build a waterproof shed on the city wall. Although it was still raining continuously in the sky, the city wall was still dry, at least there was no water flowing everywhere. "Gong Dajiang, how is that water dragon cannon done?" Guan Chongguang just glanced at Guangyuanjun lightly, and stopped paying attention to these enemies. He turned his head to ask Gong Liu who was following him.

"Sir, the bracket has been built, the pads are being laid, and the wooden pipes are also being made. I guess the preparations will be completed tomorrow." After Gong Liu said that, he looked at the inside of the camp with a smile. In the middle of the camp, several tall wooden shelves were under intense construction. When he suddenly saw that the wooden shelves were very similar to the arch bridge, but one end was high and the other end was obviously not like a bridge frame.

"We need to speed up the completion. Whether our Zhoujiazhuang can completely defeat the Daiyi barbarians this time depends on it." Guan Chongguang glanced at the bridge, and then saw an enlarged wooden sedan under the bridge. He said that it was the sedan chair because there were squads in front and back, but the size was more than twice as large as an ordinary sedan chair. This was a rainproof awning temporarily built for the supervisor of the water dragon and a movable rainproof awning.

Although he was blocked in the camp by the barbarians of the Three Thousand Daiyi tribes, no one in the craftsman camp, from Guan Chongguang to slaves, had thought that he would lose this war. Zhoujiazhuang had prepared too well and was not worried that the barbarians could resist the attack of new weapons. The only unpleasant thing was that the barbarians would definitely run away if they lost, because they had military ships to retreat to the opposite side of the river at any time. Most of the ferries seized last time were small fishing boats, and the only few large ships were still flat-bottomed grain ships, which could not threaten the tall military ships.

In other words, if Zhoujiazhuang's combat power cannot threaten the opponent on the water, it will cause a tug-of-war in which to defeat the enemy but cannot eliminate the enemy. Comparing the population base of both sides, how many times can Zhoujiazhuang resist such wars? Not to mention that Zhoujiazhuang must always be vigilant against threats around him.

Therefore, the senior executives of Zhoujiazhuang lack interest in this battle. They only hope that the water dragon will be built as soon as possible to see how effective the little girl's wonderful ideas can have.

Nong Xiaogao was still thinking about trying the opponent's combat power. Unfortunately, the first wave of attack collapsed before it even started. He ordered the Five Hundred Guangyuan Army to line up at this end of the passage and acted as a strong attack on the camp. But Guangyuan Army did nothing and was wiped out by a long-range strike at a very long distance. Nong Xiaogao swears that he had never seen a crossbow with a range of more than 300 meters, nor had he seen a bed crossbow with the same range.

The child's crossbow guns, as thick as a handful of arms, pierced deeply into the ground, forming a strange-shaped gun forest at the entrance of the passage. What nourishes these woods is the blood and body of Guangyuan Army's tactical skills. More than one hundred people were killed by a scattered crossbow and bow crossbow. The earth-shaking crying dropped the morale of Guangyuan Army from the excitement after the victory to the extreme fear of death at any time.

Nong Xiaogao quickly ordered Guangyuan's army to retreat one mile to camp, and sent scouts to investigate the surrounding camp to find the weaknesses of the camp. He had given up the idea of ​​resolving the battle in a short time. Anyway, there was a lot of supplies in the camp that had just been captured, so there was no need to worry about eating and drinking.

Guangyuan Army does not have long-range attack capabilities, let alone those trenchers with super high technical content, not even ordinary bows and arrows. For nations that have been ploughing for a long time, there is no need to buy things that cannot be used. Throughout the afternoon, Nongqiao spent his regret and anxiety. He could not approach the other party's city walls, so don't mention victory or other things. The other party has solved the erosion of the rain on the crossbow. If he wants to approach the attack, it seems that the chance is not great.

As he thought about it, Nong Xiaogao even planned to exchange his younger brother and the captured Guangyuan Army's elite with the newly occupied camp. The other party's powerful weapons made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

The next day, Nong Xiaogao did not organize an attack, and he was waiting for news of the scout. The reconnaissance had been completed near the camp. Although the hills on both sides of the passage were steep and could still climb. However, for Guangyuan Army, which did not have long-range weapons, these two commanding heights were of no value at all. Send a few people to stay and it would be over.

The riverside seems to be easy to attack, but the problem is that it can be seen but cannot be passed. The waterway near the camp is not suitable for large ships, and it is very difficult to swim past. Taking a wooden raft close is equivalent to delivering vegetables. As long as you are not a fool, you know how slow the wooden raft is going up against the current. The person standing on the top is simply a target of arrows. As long as the other party has no shortage of arrows, it can completely eliminate all such fools.

On the third day, the scout brought good news and found a way for the army to go up the mountain in a long distance. From that road, you could detour the cliff behind the camp. There were only dozens of elephants and dozens of elephant slaves guarding the road. Nong Xiaogao was very happy and immediately ordered an elder of the clan to lead 500 people to occupy the mountain road. If the elephant herd could not be defeated quickly, then pester them and wait for the army to reinforce.

Nong Gao’s idea is very simple. In order to protect the mountain road, the enemy must divide troops to reinforce. The forces of both sides are asymmetric, and no matter how they divide the troops, the Guangyuan army has an advantage. Without the protection of the rain protection canopy, the role of the crossbow is infinitely weakened, depending on how many people you can draw to protect the mountain road.

Nong's strategy was undoubtedly correct. His subordinates first sneak attacked the Elephant Team. Although it did not bring any substantial disaster to the Elephant Team, Zhou Wu could only control the Elephant Group in vain. He did not have the ability of Zhou Shixiong to bow down with one sound of a word. Zhou Wu's most powerful combat power was lost and he could only rely on dozens of elephant slaves to fight. Fortunately, the enemy didn't know why, but he just besieged them without a strong attack, so that Zhou Wu had time to send people back to the craft camp for help.

After asking the Xiangnu who came to report the news, Guan Chongguang thought for a while and figured out the tactics of Nong's high efficiency. The problem was that Guan Chongguang knew that he could only follow the script of Nong's high efficiency. He did not have the courage to give up the Xiang Team and Zhou Wu. Not only because the Xiang Team was Zhou Shixiong's property, if someone occupied the back mountain of the Jiangzuo Camp, there would be no need to fight this battle. In desperation, Guan Chongguang sent Zhou to lead a thousand miscellaneous army to reinforce Zhou Wu, and there were only less than a thousand slaves left in the Jiangzuo Camp to go to the battlefield.

Fortunately, there are still a large number of craftsmen in the craftsman camp to ensure that the slaves will not act randomly. But don’t think about their combat effectiveness. Slaves don’t make trouble is considered as giving officials a glorious face.

On September 22, all 2,000 Guangyuan troops were dispatched and, under the leadership of the brave and wise patriarch Nong Xiaogao, launched a full-scale attack on the Zhoujiazhuang craftsman camp. In order to allow these two thousand people to enter the battlefield at the same time, Nong Xiaogao spent a lot of effort. First, Nong Xiaogao ordered his men to create a batch of wooden shields that were one person tall and three people long to ensure that they could withstand the shooting of the crossbow. As for the crossbow guns of the bed crossbow, whoever shot was considered unlucky.

At the same time, a thousand Guangyuan troops crossed mountains and ridges into the thorny forest on the right side of Jiangzuo Camp, waiting for the opportunity to cooperate with the central army to attack the city. The Guangyuan troops lined up nine people, holding high a thick and simple giant shield, and launched a general attack on Jiangzuo Camp.

Guan Chongguang stood on the city tower and looked at the huge shield below, smiling bitterly in his heart. The adults invented such an exquisite crossbow, and the other party just created an extremely simple door panel and completely eliminated the influence of the crossbow. The crossbow was quite powerful, and most of it could penetrate the giant shield and cause damage to the unlucky guys hiding behind. However, even the powerful crossbow could not show its powerful deterrence and lethality as before.

"Molan, it depends on you next." Guan Chongguang ignored the slave who was desperately working as a useless person on the top of the city and said to the pretty girl standing there.

"Molan receives the order." No matter how mature Molan is, she is just a girl. She feels pressured when facing the crowd of black people, not to mention that those people are holding swords and guns, and it is normal for them to look pale.

Pulling out a small red flag from his waist, Mo Lan shook to his sister standing under the city. When Mo Zhu saw his sister's signal, he said to the messenger beside him, "Let the dragon tail." The messenger shouted the order to the rear of the camp, and the dragon tail sounded in the camp. After hearing this, Mo Lan walked to a conical tube on the city wall and ordered the two tall slaves, "Rise the dragon head."

ps: How difficult it is to love someone, just as difficult as I hope readers don’t care about the white words in my book. I admit that some white words are due to the input method, but I firmly believe that most white words are determined by my level.
