Volume 1, Section 88, Day 3

"It seems that this fugu will be filled if it is not dark." His eyes remained motionless and stared at the ant thief three hundred steps away from the city wall. Jiang Feng licked his dry lips, and his slightly bitter tongue coating felt unspeakable.

The opponent's attacks were continuous, wave after wave, but they were not as crazy as they were at the beginning, tough and resolute as they were at the beginning, which made the Gushijun always under tremendous pressure.

The ants thieves grew very fast, especially after HN experienced many battles between the Liang army, the most powerful army in the Central Plains, and the rising Caizhou army, the Yiluo bandits who were recruited by the Flame Army also began to officially enter the war stage.

They sometimes rush together, sometimes scattered and sometimes maintained a certain rhythm. In short, they no longer attempted to conquer in one fell swoop like they did at the beginning. They also realized that their opponents were prepared, not as simple as they imagined.

The first goal is to fill the trench, and to fill it with minimal damage. The initial impact without regard for consequences seems to be unsuccessful, and the ant thieves have fully realized this.

But they also know that necessary attack pressure must be maintained to force opponents not to relax and get a rest opportunity. The huge power contrast can allow them to adopt this pressure offensive with ease, even if the price is not light.

The continuous bombardment has caused the failure rate of the stone thrower to increase. Ten stone throwers have had to withdraw from the battlefield and put them aside. The craftsmen are working hard to repair them.

The damage rate of Ji Zhang is astonishingly high. No wonder few armies in this era can use this thing on a large scale.

"Our crossbow vector stock has dropped rapidly, so I'm afraid we have to save some use."

Qin Zaidao's voice also became a little hoarse, but his eyes were still sharp.

He could no longer remember how many times he had been running back and forth on this part of the city wall, but he felt that he could not say anything uncomfortable all over his body. His underwear had been soaked with sweat several times. A flowing arrow struck his shoulder, and a deep blood groove flowed down his body. Fortunately, it did not hurt his muscles and bones.

The battle with the Shenzhou army and the subsequent raids of the Caizhou army were not as difficult as today's battle.

The Shenzhou Army was not as powerful as the Guangzhou Army, and the Guangzhou Army was in full swing at that time. Qin Zaidao was just a head-on at that time, so there was not much pressure. As for the later raid by the Caizhou Army and was defeated with one blow, Qin Zaidao didn't have much time to consider other things.

"Well, the crossbow arrows are consumed a lot, but I guess when they are consumed, these batches of crossbows will be scrapped." Jiang Feng, whose mouth is bitter, smiled bitterly, his lips are a little dry and licked, and he feels tingling and uncomfortable. "This thing is too useless. It will fall apart after less than 80 of them are fired."

"That's right, sir, the Guangzhou standard crossbow requirement is only 100 strikes. It is not easy for us, a group of temporary craftsmen in Gushi City to build this level, but the loss is too high. A pair of crossbows with materials and labor costs 1,800 yuan. This time it will be scrapped. Who can afford it?" Qin Zaidao said disapprovingly: "In this way, all the materials in Gushi database have been consumed. If there is a next battle, we don't know how to deal with it."

"Along the way, if we don't win this battle, we will have no next battle? If we can defend Gushi City with this crossbow, do you think it's worth it?" Jiang Feng asked back.

"This is naturally a different matter." Qin Zaidao shook his head, and of course he understood this truth.

"That's worth it. If the city is broken, everything will be gone. We are fighting in a stunning battle!" Jiang Feng said decisively.

The continuous offensive of the Ant Army soldiers seemed to have no end. At least the rotation of at least six armies put the Gushi Army on the city wall under considerable pressure, especially when a large number of oars and shields began to erect near the city wall, the Gushi Army also began to face suppressed counterattacks from the Ant Army archers under the city.

This asymmetric fierce battle gradually subsided from Chen Shi to You Shi.

The ant army, which had withdrawn from the battlefield in sequence, left thousands of soldiers' bodies under the city wall and retreated. A faint smell of fishy smell had begun to spread under the city wall.

After a simple communication with the Ant Army, both sides agreed to clear the battlefield.

After all, if the corpse is not disposed of in time, it is likely to evolve into a plague. This is also a huge threat to the Ant Army, which wants to seize the opportunity to continue attacking the next day. The discarded corpse under the city wall will also affect morale to other Ant Army soldiers and soldiers.

"Sir, those Ant Army soldiers are taking the opportunity to collect our army's arrows!"

"Let them go, as long as they can carry the bodies away. Be careful not to let them cross the cordon to prevent them from taking the opportunity to attack."

Jiang Feng didn't care. After the war, the epidemic has become a common problem in this era. Many people do not know the reason. After rotting corpses and rotting, they pollute the surrounding environment, which is very likely to cause epidemics such as dysentery and cholera.

These ant thieves can leave, but if Gushi City ushers in a plague, they may not be able to escape the misfortune.

A one-day bloody battle did not actually cause much damage to Gushicheng's main defense.

The trenches and sheep and horse walls were filled and destroyed as expected. This temporary dredging and built facility could last for a day and caused thousands of casualties to the thief army, which already satisfied Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng knew that the real decisive battle was tomorrow.

There are also wise people among the ant thieves. From today, they have to fill the ditch at all costs, it can be seen that they are not ready to fight a protracted battle with themselves.

Three days are probably their bottom line, that is, as long as you keep Gushi City for three days, you can be invincible.

Jiang Feng took a deep breath as his eyes passed by the soldiers who were still standing on the city wall.

There is still a smell of blood in the air, but it smells so well with this time and space.

This is the chaotic world, and conquest will be the main theme of this world and this era.

The success and the defeat of the enemy will be the enemy. When he sees him rise up a tall building, he will greet guests, and when he sees his building collapse, these scenes will continue to happen on this land.

Jiang Feng has no idea what kind of role he will play here, but he will not surrender. He will always have to go there.

It was already dinner time, and the steamed cakes and porridge they delivered had been delivered to every soldier. The shortage of quantity forced Jiang Feng to divide all the soldiers into two shifts to rest. Half of the soldiers were on guard on the city wall, and half of the soldiers were resting in the temporary shelter under the city wall.

Three days!

Jiang Feng believed that as long as they persisted for three days, the group of ant thieves would definitely give up. The logistics supply and the overall strategy of the ant thieves would not tolerate them continuing to stay under the small city of Gushi.

The only thing that can be aroused is how strong the combat will of the thief chief Han Baling is.
