Chapter 36 He Can't Fight

"Be careful, the stone bomb is coming..."

The distance of 200 meters is within the effective range for the stone thrower and the giant crossbow... If it weren't for the wooden stakes and sandbags, there would probably be only a few people left in the base. The soldiers from Yulin Village shouted, hugging their heads and hid in the bunker made of sandbags nearby.

"boom……"

When the stone bomb hits the target, it certainly does not make an explosion like the sky and the earth cracks. However, the sound of wood being crushed still makes those hiding behind the sandbags frightened.

"ah……"

A loud and dull sound is the sound of a stone bomb hitting a person. The person hit is like a balloon. The stone thrown 200 meters away is incomplete. The sound of the giant crossbow is almost completely inaudible. When the ominous roar is heard, people are often nailed to the ground by the giant crossbow. At this time, the injured person who has not lost his life will scream in despair. Blood sprays out from the place where the crossbow arrow passes like a fountain.

Unfortunately, the soldiers who built the advance base had no weapons to fight back. They just took advantage of the gap between the giant crossbow and the stone thrower shooting at the head of the city of Bosaro to repair their advance base bit by bit. These were some right-angled wooden stakes with diagonal support. As long as they were stood up, they pulled a net made of rope between the wooden stakes, and then began to zip them up layer by layer with sandbags.

If such a wall is built, the incoming stone bullets will be blocked by the rope net, and the archer can shoot arrows from the mesh. It is precisely because there is no need to hit wooden stakes underground that the construction speed is not only fast, but also the wooden stakes can be used as thicker ones.

The construction process of the advance base was not interrupted by heavy stone bullets and crossbow arrows. The soldiers began to work hard to establish this advance base at noon. At this time, the raindrop cannons and thunder cannons, in order to avoid losses, were still in the camp in the distance, waiting for the night to come.

However, for Zhao Xu, there was no feeling of heartache at all. Because those who died and injured were just prisoners captured from the front, Zhao Xu gave them the opportunity to live and not sell them as slaves. Therefore, these people are now facing the weapons in the hands of their former companions with their lives for their own freedom.

Zhao Xu and his father Zhao Wuji stood on the fence beside the camp. Each of them held a telescope in their hands, watching the long arms of the stone thrower raised from time to time in the city wall constantly throwing stones and shooting giant crossbows. Next to Zhao Xu was He Qi, and Gao Lin was near the front, directing the construction of the base.

What He Qi was doing was to mark the locations of the stone throwers and giant crossbows on the city walls. At night, it was better to use the "raindrop cannon" and "thunderbolt cannon" to launch a fierce attack.

"These bastards don't know what is waiting for them, nor who is the one they are killing. Humph, you will only know how powerful they are when Mr. Wanxu shows his power!"

In Zhao Xu's camp, it was quiet. The army of 12,000 people was resting at this time. Although they were not very tired, the real battle had to be fought at night, so the soldiers could take this opportunity to sleep or do something they wanted to do. Except for the 50-person rafting team sent by Zhao Xu as usual, the people in the camp were resting quietly.

At this time, Bahayi, the Governor of Blasaro, was guarding the tower on the city wall, watching Zhao Xu's army. He didn't understand why Zhao Xu didn't attack after setting up the camp in broad daylight? Then he built a passage like a dam. As for what the advance base in front was for, this was not unfamiliar with Bahayi, the Governor of Blasaro.

This world is really changing rapidly. A few days ago, he was still leading his army to besiege Yulinzhuang. But now, he has been attacked by the Yulinzhuang army. Although Zhao Xu does not have many people, Bahayi, the Governor of Blasaro, dare not take it lightly at all. He was waiting, waiting for the other party's thunder cannons to open fire.

From noon until now, there was no movement in Zhao Xu's camp. It was just that some officers kept driving some people to work in the front base with many casualties. Because regardless of casualties, the forward base had gradually become dead. The "l"-shaped wooden stake, after the rope net was built up by sandbags, reached a support role for the expanding sand embankment.

Therefore, the elasticity of the rope, even the stone bullet can cause some operations unless it hits the thick column directly. Otherwise, it will cause the elasticity of the rope net, and it will not have any attack effect. At a distance of 200 meters, a light arrow can already fly to the top of the city to suppress it.

Some archers behind the hidden rope nets were constantly shooting arrow branches at the head of the city. In fact, these arrow branches were difficult to act as a pretentious thing. Facing the armor of the Yulin Armor series, those light arrows were basically not threatened. Therefore, from noon to evening, the entire Bosaro was injured and killed less than 100 people. On the other hand, those who built the forward base under the city, according to the observation of Bershallo Governor Bahayi, at least 1,000 people were killed or killed.

"It is probably because the Zhao father and son fought this kind of siege battle for the first time, and they had no experience at all. Otherwise, they should have understood that building a forward base should be at night. When the attack was launched during the day, the forward base had been built. In that case, the casualties would be much smaller! But that's good. They didn't have many people at first. When they were short of troops, I would know that they would retreat without rushing myself. At that time...!"

Since the war began, Bahayi, Governor of Blasaro, has been staying in the towers of the city walls, from there to observe the battlefield with a telescope. Although from the morning of Zhao Xu's establishment of the camp to the noon of him, he began to establish the advance base until the evening of the advance base, Bahayi, Governor of Blasaro, has been observing carefully, trying to understand the plans of the Zhao father and son.

After a whole day of watching, Bahayi, the Governor of Bershall, had been relieved. At this moment, the people he sent to Baghdad to seek help had already set off. I believed that Azam Tulansha Sultan wanted to save him. Seeing that the Zhao family and son seemed not to be siege, his army was not siege enough, so all the problems would be solved when the Baghdad reinforcements arrived.

At this time, the sky was gradually dimming. A touch of red glow in the evening formed the most vivid contrast with the blood on the ground in the advance base, indicating that a night that is more afraid of darkness is coming.
