Chapter 66: The Wooden Donkey

On the vast plain, except for the servants who were still lying on the ground, there were all dead bodies. Yun Feng glanced at it and shouted, "Everyone, the Di people have fled, everyone please get up."

Being in the middle of a war between the two armies, this feeling was indeed not good. Although they basically closed their eyes, the sound of arrows breaking through the air and the deafening shouts of killing made them still feel scared. After hearing Yun Feng's shouting, most of them turned their heads and looked back. After confirming that the Di people had retreated, they stood up and thanked Yun Feng with gratitude, kowtowed and bowed.

Yun Feng shook his head and spread his palm to Zhang Lingyun and said, "You don't need to thank me. This General Zhang is the chief general in the army. It's because General Zhang is kind and cannot bear to die under our arrow." So, everyone's grateful object turned to Zhang Lingyun again.

Zhang Lingyun's pretty face was slightly red. After all, it was the one who Yunfeng suggested to save. However, seeing more than two thousand people thanking him, she was very happy. She looked at Yunfeng with some embarrassment before speaking: "You don't need to be polite. Now, please line up your team and walk in order. After that, everything will be followed by General Yun's arrangements." Then she said to Yunfeng: "General Yun, take them back to the camp quickly, don't delay."

Yunfeng nodded and ordered the eight hundred soldiers to rush out of the trench to help them stand in line and line up to take them back to their camp.

It was very simple for Yunfeng to find out the details. After returning to the camp, he took the woman away and made another arrangement. There were about 400 people. The remaining men were randomly divided into twenty groups and stood in the open space in front of the camp. Then with a command, all the soldiers turned over on horses, holding shiny sabers, or placing bows and arrows to surround them. They were all fierce and murderous intent on the field was everywhere!

Suddenly, most of the slaves were frightened, thinking that Yunfeng would start killing them after taking the woman away. Some knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, some shivered, and some hugged each other and cried bitterly. Only a few looked numb and looked like they were not afraid of life and death.

Yunfeng observed for half an hour, and everyone glanced at it. Based on his previous life's experience in identifying people, everyone's reaction was quickly determined whether it was true or false. During this process, he found that nearly a hundred slaves were unnatural in their behavior. The person who had previously shouted outside the trench to let everyone in was among the hundred people.

In order to avoid screening mistakes, Yunfeng asked them to identify each other again. As a result, nearly a hundred people only knew each other, but no one recognized them for more than two thousand others.

At this point, they also understood that they had been recognized, but it was too late and they were surrounded by soldiers. With Yun Feng waved his hand, arrows in the field were fired at once, and they were all turned into hedgehogs.

Just as the process was done, Yunfeng originally planned to comfort the nearly 400 women, and there was another buzzing sound of stone bombs coming from the front position. It seemed that Pu Hong had started a new round of attack. So Yunfeng ordered the soldiers to concentrate on the guards and hand them over to Zhang Lingyun for treatment later, so he took ten personal guards to continue to learn experience at the position.

This time, the one who guarded the trench was replaced by Xin Yan's tribe, while the Ma Ji tribe returned to the second trench. Part of them took the time to rest, while the other part went to the first trench to remove the unused arrow tower, and dragged the trenchers deployed around the arrow tower back to the second trench and re-arranged them.

Yunfeng also felt that this arrangement of Zhang Lingyun was quite appropriate. After all, with the enemy's catapult, the destroyed arrow tower could no longer be built, so it would be better to enhance the defensive power of the second trench.

When he came to Zhang Lingyun, Yunfeng looked forward and saw the Di army's trencher pushing up again and throwing stone bombs at the position. Of course, his own trencher was also making counterattacks, constantly throwing stone bombs at the opponent's trencher.

This time, the trenches were filled with thirty wooden donkey chariots that could be blocked by arrows and covered with movable houses (a mobile house with wheels, with herringbone tops, covered with raw cowhide made of medicine, which was strong in fire and hard to destroy even if it was thrown), followed by two thousand archers, one thousand gun shield soldiers, and one thousand five hundred toad chariots mixed in between.

After careful decisiveness, this time there were both soldiers and slaves who filled the soil. It seemed that Bo Hong was still unrest and was reluctant to send a large number of soldiers to die, and he mixed the soldiers and slaves together and drove the toad cart forward to charge.

But Pu Hong did this, and he hit Yunfeng and Zhang Lingyun's fatal hole. For a moment, both of them felt extremely embarrassed. They looked at each other and saw anger and struggle in each other's eyes. After a while, Zhang Lingyun took a deep breath and turned to Yunfeng and said, "I didn't expect that Pu Hong was so vicious. I'm afraid that the lives of these slaves will no longer be able to save the lives of these slaves."

Yun Feng was silent for a while and said sadly: "I didn't know that it was a big deal to keep the trench and I wouldn't act irritating. The general doesn't have to worry too much. After all, I have tried my best to rescue these slaves, so I should have a clear conscience."

Zhang Lingyun showed a hint of gratitude on her face, but she immediately thought about why she had to seek Yunfeng's understanding? She seemed a little afraid that the man would get angry at her, but at this time the enemy's wooden donkey would enter the throwing range of 60 kilograms, and she had no time to think about it, and immediately ordered: "Send an order to use a large bullet to strike the enemy's wooden donkey cart!"

"Yes, General!" After receiving the order, the messenger immediately issued an order to the catapult group.

It only takes twenty people to fire a fifteen-pound bullet, but fifty people to fire a maximum of sixty-pound bullets.

First, the stone bullet was placed in the leather case, tied it to a thick wooden stake with a rope, and the other end was pulled and connected to the tip of the crossbar by fifty sergeants. When the rod arm was bent to a sufficient arc, a strong sergeant violently cut off the rope that tied the leather case with a big axe. Under the strong elastic force, the stone bullet was immediately thrown out. Yun Feng couldn't help but be amazed at the toughness of the rod arm. After careful observation, he found that several wooden poles and thick and long animal tendons mixed together in the longitudinal direction, and then tied into a round composite rod arm with wider raw animal skin strips.

The power of the sixty-pound bomb was much greater. It hit the wooden donkey and made a loud "bang bang" sound like a drum beat. The whole car was smashed and shocked. Then the stone bomb bounced away, causing a terrifying blow to the surrounding enemy forces. Although the raw cowhide covered with the wooden donkey cart can effectively prevent bulletproof, it could not withstand the continuous blows of the large bombs. After several rounds, five vehicles were completely destroyed. When the remaining ones entered the bow arrow route in the rain of bullets, Zhang Lingyun ordered the archer to burn it with rockets.

The Di army was prepared this time, and the gun and shield soldiers following the wooden donkey held large shields to cover the archer's arrows and attacked them.

Arrows are everywhere, coming and going! The intertwined are stone bullets with huge destructive power, and the dense toad carts like ants also rushed forward to fill the trenches. Although they were facing a sniper crossbow arrow, there were always fish that could rush to the edge of the trenches to push the toad cart into the trenches.

The battle for filling the trenches has completely entered a fierce heat, and soldiers on both sides have continued to fall to the ground and die. With the intensive attacks of the army, the wooden donkeys of the Di army were basically destroyed by stone bullets or burned by a large number of rockets. In the end, more than 200 toad vehicles were pushed into the trenches. This time, the Di army and its slaves died in the di army, and the number of casualties among the crossbowmen in the square reached an astonishing 300.
