The God of Golden Melon stands worriedly on the city wall. Looking from a distance, you can see the Xiongnu camp that seems to stretch to the sky.

The daily consumption of Wuchao City is extremely staggering.

You can think about it, Wuchao City consumes up to 100,000 arrows and feathers every day, countless longbows and armors are damaged, and countless defensive equipment needs to be repaired, and these losses require three major barracks to replenish them.

It’s not just the wear and tear of weapons that need to be replenished.

Medicines for the wounded and food for tens of thousands of people, which consume a huge amount of money every day, all need to be delivered from the three major barracks, especially Jiudaoguai Barracks, and it just so happened that Jiudaoguai Barracks was the first to suffer heavy losses.

It was burned to the ground and almost razed to the ground. Although order was restored, there was not enough strength to send the military supplies transported by water to Wuchao City.

The current Wuchao City is nominally a fortress with three large barracks guarding it, but in fact, it is attacked from both sides. Not only are supplies unable to be delivered in time, but there are also problems with the delivery of military orders.

In fact, when the Huns launched their sneak attack on the first day, the Jingua Goddess lost control of the three barracks, and the power of the Jingua Gods was seriously emptied.

The three barracks fought independently, and the generals, under the instructions of Eunuch Li, were waiting and watching to conserve their strength and avoid excessive losses and being held accountable by the imperial capital.

On the twentieth day, Jingua God already understood that he had fallen into a huge trap, and the target of this trap was him.

In twenty days, the three barracks should have recovered. However, the barracks that recovered did not provide timely military support to Wuchao City. They only symbolically escorted some military supplies, and these military supplies were far away.

Far from enough to replenish the lost quantity.

The armor in the warehouse has been exhausted.

There are also fewer and fewer arrow feathers.

In order to ensure that the opponent had bows and crossbows available when attacking, the God of Jingua had to order the use of arrows sparingly. However, this economy made the Huns more arrogant. They would often send archers close to the city wall to provoke them, and they would kill them with long bows unscrupulously.

garrison.

There are also more and more wounded.

Medicines are running out...

…

The anxious Jingua God was waiting for the moment when Wuchao City fell.

However, what surprised Jingua Tianjin was that on the twenty-eighth day of his struggle, the Huns' attacks suddenly weakened, and the frequency of longbow shooting became less and less. You know, usually, the Huns

Every time a person shoots, the sky is blocked and the sun is blocked. On the city wall, the ground is covered with feathers, like heavy snow, and the scene is extremely spectacular.

Regarding the consumption of arrow feathers, the Han Empire was well prepared.

The Han Empire had a complete bow and arrow manufacturing industry to meet the huge consumption caused by rapid shooting.

In the Gods and Demons Continent, other countries that lack political unity are unable to complete such a heavy support task. To deal with a cavalry charge, three to four volleys can be fired, followed by free fire. Just take the battles recorded in the Han Empire as an example,

If an archer has a chance to fire 5 arrows during each enemy charge, then 7,000 to 10,000 people equals 35,000 to 50,000 arrows.

In a battle, dozens of charges were commonplace, and throughout the war, the shooting of bows and arrows did not stop, with as many as 500,000 to 800,000 arrows used!

No one has accurately counted the specific number. Later, someone described another battlefield - the ground was covered with feathers, like heavy snow.

Could it be that the Xiongnu’s supplies were also exhausted?

Immediately, the God of Gold Melon gave up the idea.

It can be said that the Xiongnu clan has carefully planned for today's war. It stands to reason that they will never fight an unprepared battle. Since they dare to openly set up camp not far from Wuchao City, it means that they have a very well-informed intelligence system. They know

The difficulties faced by Wuchao City.

It can be seen from the frequency of sieges some time ago that the Huns took turns to shoot arrows every day and planned to consume Wuchao City's supplies. They were waiting for the moment when Wuchao City's army was distracted, and then captured Wuchao City in one fell swoop.

, by then, the southern gate of the Han Empire will be completely exposed to the iron hoof of the Huns...

…

It has to be said that Jingua Tianshen is an extremely excellent general, full of the adventurous spirit and courage of a soldier. Although he is unable to determine the dilemma faced by the Huns army, it does not mean that he will let go of this opportunity.

The God of Jingua began to send out small groups of heavy armored cavalry to harass the Hun army, spy on the strength of the Xiongnu army, and gathered all the strong men on the city wall to use longbows to rush to support the heavy armored cavalry. At this time, Wuchao City must cherish every moment.

An arrow feather, so using a strong man as a longbow can increase efficiency.

The impact of the heavily armored cavalry was terrifying. The Huns army would never allow heavy armored cavalry to invade their camp. It would be a disaster.

The overwhelming arrow feathers are like a forest of thousands of arrows.

After repeated attempts to charge, the Huns' arrow rain soon became less dense.

Could it be that their sharp arrows are really almost used up?

The scene in front of him fell into the eyes of the Golden Melon God on the city wall, and the Golden Melon God suddenly became energetic.

Although Wuchao City is almost at the end of its rope, there are still natural dangers to rely on, and the Xiongnu army is huge in number and has come from afar. If there is a problem with supplies, it will be a disaster.

The God of Golden Melon did not hesitate any longer and made a decisive decision, sending out Wuchao City's most elite cavalry to provoke him.

At this time, the God of Jingua no longer cared about cherishing the few arrow feathers, and ordered all the long archers to rush to the aid of the heavy armored cavalry harassing the Huns army at all costs.

The method is very simple. A large number of tightly wrapped heavy armored cavalry are constantly harassing the Huns camp. Once the Huns army is encircled and suppressed, they will immediately return to Wuchao City, and those strong long archers will use dense rain of arrows to stop those soldiers.

The chasing Huns cavalry.

Compared with the heavy armored cavalry of the Han Dynasty, which were armed to the teeth, the Huns cavalry were really a bit shabby. In order to pursue speed, they all went into battle lightly. At most, they wore some light leather armor. Some of them, even ordinary clothes, were unable to resist at all.

The sharp arrow of the Han Empire.

On the other hand, the heavy armored cavalry of the Han Empire were not only covered with a thick layer of armor, but the horses were also covered with thick armor, which could not be penetrated by sharp arrows.

The only flaw of the heavy armored cavalry is that it lacks mobility and cannot travel long distances. However, this does not affect the heavy armored cavalry of Wuchao City, because they are fighting at home, and they are backed by powerful archers.

, they can come back at any time.

Moreover, except for a very small number of Xiongnu martial arts masters, ordinary Huns cavalry did not dare to approach the heavy armored cavalry at all, because the heavy armored cavalry of the Han Empire were all strong men selected from a thousand. They were not only invulnerable, but also powerful.

Infinite, the weapons he holds are all heavy weapons, and as long as they encounter them, they will be seriously injured even if they are not killed. It is said that some strong men are born with supernatural powers that even ordinary strong men cannot match.

In some classic battles of the Han Empire, three heavy armored cavalry once broke into an infantry camp and killed hundreds of infantry.

In the Han Empire, heavy armored cavalry has always been the trump card. It costs a lot to train a heavy armored cavalry. Its equipment alone costs more than millions of imperial coins. Both war horses and armor are carefully selected.

In Wuchao City, there are less than a thousand heavy armored cavalry. Jingua Tianshen has never used heavy armored cavalry because this cavalry is the last hope of Wuchao City.

Now, the God of Golden Melon does not hesitate to use heavy armored cavalry to fight against the odds.

Using heavy armored cavalry is extremely risky, because no matter how powerful the heavy armored cavalry is, they are only cavalry, not immortal gods of war. They will still die, not to mention that they are facing hundreds of thousands of troops.

In less than a day, two hundred heavy armored cavalry were killed, and one thousand heavy armored cavalry were lost by one-fifth.

If two hundred ordinary soldiers died, it would naturally be insignificant. However, if two hundred heavy armored cavalry died in just one day, if the news spread to the interior of the Han Empire, I am afraid that the whole empire would be shocked.

The heavy armored cavalry of the Han Dynasty was a myth of invincibility among the people of the Han Empire. In peaceful times, the death of even one heavy armored cavalry would become news in the Han Empire.

The Golden Melon God will not stop attacking. Even if it is a desperate move, even if Wuchao City falls, he will seize this opportunity. This is his only hope at the moment.

Now, Jingua Tianshen is most worried about using this method to consume Wuchao City's strength when the opponent is trying to escape.

The God of Gold Melon had no choice.

Now, it is time for Wuchao City to fight against all odds. If the Xiongnu army does not encounter any problems, then the fall of Wuchao City will only happen sooner or later.

God Jingua guessed that the Huns army was in trouble, but he never dreamed that the Huns army would encounter the same problem as him.

Zhou Sen's elite team caused huge damage to Shan Yu's logistics. Many tribes that transported food, grass and weapons to Shan Yu's army were attacked and burned by Zhou Sen.

At the beginning, Zhou Sen's lightning attack did not attract Shan Yu's attention, because at that time, Chan Yu had strong soldiers and horses, and abundant food and grass. However, on the twentieth day, Shan Yu was shocked to find that they had consumed

The bows and arrows needed could not be compensated, and the food supplies were exhausted, to the point of slaughtering war horses to satisfy hunger.

What about the loyal tribes?

At this time, Shan Yu discovered that the rangers of the Han Empire, who had not been taken seriously by him, were actually burning, killing and looting on a large scale in the hinterland of the grassland. In just twenty days, they actually destroyed more than a hundred tribal camps.

, and most of them are tribes that provide logistical supplies to Shanyu.

Compared with the vast and rich Han Empire, the barren Xiongnu did not produce bow wood. Because of its backward industry, even metal arrowheads could not be produced on a large scale. Some weapons were accumulated bit by bit over many years.

In order to invade the Han Empire this time, as early as twenty years ago, Shanyu had been making careful plans and ordered some tribes to reserve strategic materials on a large scale in case of emergencies. However, the twenty years of preparations were burned by Zhou Sen...

…

Chanyu Thunder was furious.

Immediately, several groups of cavalry entered the grassland and surrounded Zhou Sen.

At the same time, Chanyu sent a large number of troops to collect food, livestock and weapons in the grasslands. However, this so-called "collection" was actually no different from robbery. The herdsmen who were already frightened by Zhou Sen's group were killed.

It was also plundered by Chanyu's army, which made the situation worse.

Many herdsmen began to lose respect and admiration for the Chanyu and secretly cursed him.

The hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops also began to panic, because they were all herdsmen drawn from major tribes. They also had their own tribes, and they also had wives, children, and parents.

Rumors spread among the army.

Some herdsmen began to try to sneak home.

The strict military discipline of the Xiongnu soldiers is different from that of the Han Empire. This is because the Xiongnu soldiers are herdsmen in ordinary times. When they put on their armor, they become soldiers. When they take off their armor, they become herders. Although they are brave in combat, they lack organization and discipline. Once

The morale of the military was weakened, which immediately triggered a chain reaction.

Shanyu also found that the morale of the army was wavering.
