On the 14th day of the first month of the second year of Longwu, the Qin Army did not launch an attack on the wall. The soldiers of Bozhou were on guard for a whole day, but they did not see the Qin Army attacking, so they could not help but feel strange.
Yang Yinglong also felt strange, but he still felt lucky. One more day of rest for his soldiers, and their fighting ability could be maintained for one more day. For him, this might be the only way to save his life.
He knew better than anyone that he could not defeat the Daqin. Even the four-hundred-year-old Hailong Fort could not stop the Daqin army. But it would take time.
Time represented food, materials, and manpower. Once the Daqin could not provide food and materials for so many troops, he would have the hope of survival.
He had never felt the preciousness of life so much.
But it was a little strange that the Qin Army did not attack. Maybe they were resting, or maybe there was something else. The initiative was in the Qin Army, not him. He did not dare to rashly send his soldiers out of the city to attack the Qin Army. That would be an act of seeking death.
He did not think that his remaining ten thousand soldiers could be compared with the two hundred thousand enemies on the opposite side.
With the help of the geographical advantage, they could still fight. Without the geographical advantage, they would be swallowed up in minutes. So he would rather die on the mountain than go down.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of Longwu, the Qin Army resumed their attack. A large number of cannons were pushed onto the battlefield, and they began their usual bombardment.
The soldiers of Bozhou on the wall were used to this. They were now badly suppressed by the cannons of the Qin Army. From the beginning of the war, they had been suppressed. The number of cannons of the Qin Army almost made them despair.
But it did not matter. They were hiding behind the thick wall. Although the cannons of the Qin Army were terrible, they could not blow through the wall, nor could they break the gate. As long as they were nailed to the wall, the Qin Army could do nothing but to pile up their lives.
After realizing this, Yang Yinglong had a crazy idea.
If you want me to die, then die with me.
If I die, don't think you will have an easy time.
Defend the wall, and turn this place into the graveyard of the Qin Army.
Although the cannonballs of the Qin army could hit them from time to time, they could not do anything even if they wanted to fight back. However, these days, they had summed up a way to deal with the cannonballs. Being a coward had its own benefits. At least, they would not die, right?
After this round of bombardment, they would send people to attack. That time would be the time for them to fight back fiercely. They would chop off the heads of the Qin Army one by one and push them off the wall to avenge.
They were used to the fierce attack of the Qin Army. Although they were getting more and more desperate, their survival, their instinct, their lives, Qin Dynasty, Qin, Qin Army, and Qing Dynasty dynasty, Qin, Qin, Qin, of the Army of the Dynasty.
Half an day of a day after, they of Qin Army.
They of the attack of the Qin of them of the of Yang of Army. Yinglong, also went on the tower personally. saw of the of the attack of the wall of the city. of the Qin Dynasty. Army of Dynasty Army.
About an hour later, the bombardment was over. The Qin Army came up and was ready to attack. But they did not seem to move. Seen from a distance, their formation was a little messy, not as neat as before.
When the Qin Army got closer, they found that they were not the real Qin Army at all. They were the local soldiers of the Qin Army who attacked them together.
They had known before that in addition to the local soldiers of the five departments and seven families, the troops of the Song enterprise and the An enterprise had joined the Qin Army to attack Bozhou and attacked Yang Yinglong together.
Yang Yinglong could be said to be a miserable person who was pushed by everyone when he was down. It was okay that his old enemy fought with him, but his son-in-law also attacked him together with the Qin Army, and they beat him very hard.
But Yang Yinglong also understood that the Song enterprise would not stand with him for a woman. The so-called son-in-law was just a way to make friends with each other in peacetime. Yang Yinglong himself did not care about his daughter.
It could only be said that it was not a worthwhile deal.
It seemed that it was not the army of the Song enterprise that attacked him this time, but one of the troops of the five departments and seven families he was familiar with, which made Yang Yinglong feel strange.
In the past, when the Qin Army attacked, they were the main force in person, and the local soldiers were just followers and auxiliary soldiers. There were few examples of them being the main force. Only the An enterprise and the Song enterprise became the main force because of their good equipment and combat effectiveness.
What was going on today? Did the other local soldiers come up together?
How could the Qin Army let them attack?
Wasn't it suicide?
Wait!
Yang Yinglong suddenly understood something. He showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, which looked extremely ferocious.
The Qin Army was afraid that …
They could not withstand such a huge number of casualties!
That was why they sent the local soldiers to die, and they hid behind to watch the show!
Hey! Good! Good! They had been attacking fiercely for so many days, and finally they were an arrow at the end of its flight!
Yang Yinglong was overjoyed and continued to observe. He found that the footsteps of the local soldiers were also hesitant, and they did not dare to attack fiercely like the Qin Army, regardless of life and death. Obviously, they were afraid and did not dare to attack with all their strength.
Good!
As long as it was not a strong deterrent like the Qin Army, his soldiers could completely withstand it.
He was not short of food. The food on the mountain was specially stored. Many caves were specially used to store food, just for emergencies. The food on the mountain could last at least five or six years. What he lacked was soldiers. If a soldier died, there would be one less soldier. At least the mountain could be reclaimed for crops. At worst, they could fight a protracted war and see who could outlast the other.
Now that the Qin Army did not attack, it meant that the consumption of his troops would be greatly reduced. What was there to be afraid of?
"They are the bastards of the five departments and seven families! They are all traitors! Give my order! Beat them hard! If they dare to come up! Give them five taels of silver for each head they cut off!! "
Yang Yinglong madly gave the same crazy order.
The morale of the local soldiers on the city wall soared. Compared with the cautious local soldiers on the ground, there was a huge gap.
It seemed that those local soldiers had just started to charge under the supervision of the Qin Army's supervision team. It was quite difficult for them to fight. The local soldiers on the city wall kept attacking with rolling stones, a few cannons, and some firearms, but they could not move forward or even retreat.
The Qin Army's supervision team lined up a row of gunners at the back of the formation. Whoever dared to retreat would be shot by a row of bullets. If they did not move forward, they would be killed.
The native soldiers were desperate and had no choice but to continue to rush forward. Although they were hit by the rolling logs, stones, firearms, and arrows of the Bozhou soldiers on the city gate tower, they still braced themselves and carried the ladders to attack the city gate tower, which was exactly what the native soldiers on the city gate wanted.
The skulls were pieces of shiny silver!
Why did they fight? Wasn't it for silver?
Was there anything better than silver in the world?
This battle was quite fierce. Of course, it was not the Bozhou soldiers on the city wall who suffered the most, but the local soldiers who attacked under the city wall. They suffered heavy casualties. The chieftains of the five departments and seven families were scolded in front of Zheng Ying with their heads down.
