Chapter 832 Jiaozhou’s Defenses

At this time, Jiaozhou, Jiaozhi.

After five days of long journey, Bai Feng finally arrived in Jiaozhi City.

As soon as he arrived outside the city gate, Bai Feng met Yu Jin and General Le Jin who were guarding Jiaozhou.

"Sir! Sir is finally here!"

When Yu Jin saw Bai Feng arriving with reinforcements, he said happily:

"I wonder how many troops Sir has brought to support?"

Bai Feng smiled calmly and said:

"More than 20,000 people."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin was slightly startled.

Immediately afterwards, Le Jin on the side waved his hand and said:

"Hey, it's good that sir is here."

"As long as Mr. comes, even if he doesn't bring reinforcements, it will be fine."

Bai Feng shrugged helplessly, and while ordering the soldiers behind him to enter the city, he asked:

“What is the situation in Cochin today?”

Yu Jin sighed quietly:

"To be honest, sir, we are not optimistic at the moment."

"The Sun-Liu coalition gathered eight surrounding foreign tribes and accumulated a total of 600,000 troops to attack Jiaozhi."

"It's already the third day of their siege."

"Just an hour ago, we were holding the next offensive."

"But the losses were heavy. Our army lost more than 20,000 people, and the barbarians who came to attack lost more than 50,000 people."

"Although our army has an advantage compared to battle losses, the base of our troops is here."

"If this continues, the 200,000 troops stationed in Cochin will be annihilated sooner or later."

"We have already requested support from Jingzhou."

"In addition to sir, Jingzhou can also send an army of 100,000, but I'm afraid it's still not enough."

Seeing the disgraced faces of Yu Jin and Le Jin, Bai Feng knew that they had indeed experienced a bloody battle just now.

"Alas, sir, I don't know. This was before the generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took action, so we lost more than 20,000 men."

"Just yesterday, the two of them came to attack the city together, and we lost a total of 50,000 troops."

"But at least we managed to defend the city."

"But now, there are only less than 100,000 troops left in the city."

Le Jin said in grief.

This battle was really too frustrating.

Bai Feng narrowed his eyes:

"How long will it take for Jingzhou's reinforcements to arrive?"

Le Jin was stunned for a moment, then said:

"About three days."

"Not only Jingzhou, Bashu has also dispatched 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Jiangdong has also dispatched 50,000 soldiers and horses."

"But Bashu needs five days, and Jiangdong needs six days."

"If we go by the extent of the attack by the Sun-Liu coalition, I'm afraid Jiaozhi City will be destroyed before reinforcements from Jingzhou arrive."

While talking, Bai Feng and Le Jin Yujin came to the city wall together.

"Why is the city wall so bare?"

"Where's the ballista?"

Bai Feng couldn't help but frown.

Le Jin was slightly startled:

"Ballista?"

"There has never been a ballista in Jiaozhi. There is no time to build one."

"These guys come to attack the city every one or two days, sometimes even at night."

"There are not enough craftsmen in this city. Where can I find the time to make the ballista?"

Bai Feng suddenly frowned and said:

"How can we defend the city without a ballista?"

"No wonder you were beaten like this. You have no defensive measures at all. How can you defend yourself against the enemy?"

After hearing Bai Feng's words, the two just sighed and had nothing to say at all.

Bai Feng also knew that when they first arrived in Jiaozhi, the Sun and Liu coalition forces might have already attacked Jiaozhi City in waves.

If Jiaozhi was not stationed on the outskirts of the Central Plains and the city wall was specially built to be extremely thick, I am afraid it would have been captured by now.

There are currently 200,000 people defending the city, and the loss is close to 100,000.

Without a ballista, how can we deal with a large number of enemies?

As for grenades, they were not willing to use them at all.

If it were just these barbarians attacking the city, there would be no need to use grenades.

There are only about a hundred grenades in the entire Jiaozhi.

This thing basically uses one less one.

If they are all used up and the main force of the Sun-Liu coalition is sent out again, then his party will undoubtedly be dead.

Bai Feng suddenly frowned and whispered:

"Li Cunxiao."

Li Cunxiao quickly stepped forward:

"The general is here!"

"You immediately go to Shanyue, borrow the ballistae, and bring them all with you without any mistakes!"

Bai Feng immediately ordered in a low voice.

Li Cunxiao immediately received the order and quickly led a small team of troops towards Shanyue.

At this time, Yu Jin and Le Jin were stunned.

"Shan Koshi?"

"Why would you, sir, go to Shanyue to borrow a crossbow? Those Shanyue people hate us and other Central Plains people so much, how could they lend us a crossbow?"

Yu Jin asked in confusion.

In fact, they already knew about the ballista in Shanyue.

Back then, Sun Quan and Liu Bei were unable to attack Shanyue because they suffered from the large ballistas in these mountains.

Although they don't know why Shanyue, who are also barbarians, have crossbows, they know one thing very well, that is, these Shanyue people must not be messed with.

Now it's good if they don't come out and take advantage of the opportunity to plunder. Why do they dare to borrow the crossbow?

Bai Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the two of them and said:

"Who told you two that they hate the people from the Central Plains?"

"What these Shanyue people hate is not the Central Plains people, but the soldiers of Jiangdong and Liu Bei's soldiers."

"Do you really think that my previous trip to the mountains was in vain?"

"Now Shanyue does not need to defend against the enemy. We will not attack them to the north, but most of the foreigners to the southwest have come to attack Jiaozhi."

"It's useless for them to ask for a ballista, they just need some exchange."

"You don't need to know anything about this. Order the craftsmen to build the crossbow platform as soon as possible."

"Every one counts, and we must not slow down."

"Without a crossbow platform and a crossbow carriage, how could we possibly defend the city?"

"Cochin must not be lost."

"If Jiaozhi is lost, the morale of our army will definitely drop significantly, and it will be even more difficult to defend other cities."

After hearing Bai Feng's order, Le Jin and Yu Jin hurriedly went to find the craftsmen.

They almost obeyed Bai Feng's words.

Nowadays, building a crossbow platform is indeed a good choice.

As a matter of urgency, we can no longer use cement and bricks to build crossbow platforms.

There are many bamboos in Jiaozhi and they are extremely tough. Bamboo can only be used to build simple crossbow platforms.

However, these bamboos are very tough and can withstand a ballista without any problem.

Moreover, the efficiency of building with bamboo is much higher than that of other materials.

In this way, one or two can be quickly built before the Sun-Liu coalition and these Southeast Asian barbarians attack.

In this case, even if there is no ballista, the archer standing on it and shooting will be the same.

With the shooting range, it is completely safe for Qin Liangyu and other archers to shoot on the crossbow platform.
