Chapter 836 Policy for Defending the City
At this time, the mountains are rising.
"Jingsi? Could it be that sir is here?"
After Taishi Ci saw Li Cunxiao, he was extremely surprised at first, and then quickly asked Li Cunxiao why he came.
Li Cunxiao nodded solemnly:
"Yes, sir, he is currently in Cochin."
"The coalition forces of Sun and Liu have fled to the south and are now uniting with foreign tribes to attack Jiaozhi."
Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this and said:
"Is this happening?"
"No wonder we haven't seen those foreigners who frequently move around in the west of Shanyue these days. It turns out they have all gone to Jiaozhou!"
Li Cunxiao said with a solemn expression:
"Jiaozhi is in urgent need of a large number of ballistas and asked me to pick them up."
"How many ballistas are there in Shanyue? Let's pull them over together as soon as possible."
"The war in Cochin is urgent now and cannot be delayed!"
At this time, Yue Fei suddenly narrowed his eyes and whispered:
"Okay! Let me lead the Beiwei army to help the general!"
Li Cunxiao nodded heavily, and then Zhao Yun said:
"We have been following Mr.'s teachings and training our troops. Now we have expanded to nearly 200,000 people."
"Let's go together!"
At this moment, Li Cunxiao shook his head and said:
"Sir, you have an order. The Wei army can go, but the soldiers from Shanyue must not appear on the battlefield."
"There are too many generals in the Wei Dynasty in Jiaozhi. If they see him, they will definitely become suspicious again."
After all, the difference in appearance between Shanyue people and Central Plains people is still very big, and they can see it at a glance.
After hearing Li Cunxiao's words, everyone could only sigh quietly.
Unexpectedly, such a powerful team has been trained for so long, but now it is useless.
There are only 5,000 Beiwei troops, so I'm afraid it will be useless if they go there.
"There are a total of twelve ballistas here, let's take them all together."
Taishi Ci waved his hand, and when Yue Fei asked for a fight, he had already sent soldiers to contact the soldiers at each mountain pass and pulled the ballistae over together.
After all, there are no enemies to guard against in Shanyue now, and this ballista has not been used for a long time.
Now that Bai Feng was in need, he definitely didn't dare to be careless.
Although the five thousand Wei troops are all infantry, if they transport the crossbows to Jiaozhi, they can arrive in five days at the fastest.
If there are any changes on the road, it might be postponed, but it will definitely not last more than ten days.
Li Cunxiao was extremely anxious at this time.
He doesn't know what Jiaozhi looks like today.
After all, before leaving, Li Cunxiao also heard about what happened in Jiaozhi.
Until now, Jiaozhi has lost 100,000 people!
Today's troops in Cochin are simply not enough. If it really takes ten days to deliver, I'm afraid it will be too late.
…
Just as Li Cunxiao and Yue Fei were rushing to Jiaozhi with their soldiers anxiously.
Bai Feng has repelled the second attack by Southeast Asian barbarians here.
This time, Bai Feng's soldiers were not injured, but the army defending the city suffered losses of more than 20,000.
However, the results are quite gratifying.
These barbarians lost more than 100,000 people after two attacks.
This is a good beginning.
Now simply calculating, from the time these soldiers started attacking to now, they have lost nearly 200,000 people.
The Sun-Liu coalition had a total of 200,000 soldiers, and probably lost about 20,000.
Although the barbarian soldiers numbered 400,000, they have now lost 170,000 to 80,000 soldiers. The damage can be said to be particularly heavy.
However, after the second wave of attacks, no troops attacked for three full days.
Although Bai Feng was surprised, this also gave Bai Feng enough time.
Whether the enemy was on the offensive or during a truce, the craftsmen were almost constantly resting.
They must continue to strengthen the city wall according to Bai Feng's orders, and make some small mechanisms to help defend the city.
Currently, this is the only way to go without a ballista.
As for making a crossbow, that is basically impossible.
Even if Ma Jun makes a crossbow, it will take three days to meet Bai Feng's standards, and a large number of craftsmen will be needed to make parts and so on.
The number of these local craftsmen is small, and few of them are as proficient as Ma Jun.
In fact, to put it bluntly, they can't create it at all.
Even if they could make it, it would probably take them five or six days to make it.
It takes five or six days to make one, and it requires nearly half the manpower of today's craftsmen.
This is simply not worth the gain.
Therefore, Bai Feng asked them to focus all their work on making nails and cement boards.
Using a mold that took less than two hours to make, cement board and nails can be mixed directly together.
This cement board and nails can basically be recycled.
After that, they only need to melt the cement board into pieces, re-make it, dry it, and then put the recovered nails inside.
If you do this, you can greatly improve efficiency.
There is nothing else in Jiaozhi, but a lot of dirt and sand.
As for limestone, it can actually be found within the city.
With these conditions, making cement becomes very convenient.
This cement board is much easier than finding a lot of stones.
In fact, when it comes to stones, there are basically as many as you need in Shangoe.
However, there was simply no force to pull them back.
Besides, Bai Feng did not intend to defend the city forever.
Now the enemy is rapidly depleting its troops.
As long as they continue to defend like this, maybe they will no longer attack in waves because of the few soldiers.
It is very likely that a general attack will be launched directly.
If this is the case, even if the ballista arrives, it may not be able to block them all.
After all, there are 600,000 soldiers, even if 200,000 are lost, there are still 400,000 soldiers.
Attacking the city together would still be extremely terrifying.
Therefore, Bai Feng is planning how to fight back.
Moreover, the last time Zhang Fei came, Bai Feng had probably guessed that now, the Sun-Liu coalition could no longer hold back.
Zhang Fei's visit this time may not be mainly to attack the city, but maybe just to gather information.
If this is the case, then it may not be long before they launch a general attack.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Bai Feng to sit here and wait to die.
As for how to counterattack, at least we must ensure that the city can be defended, so that we can carry out a small counterattack.
In other words, we need to wait until the ballista arrives before we can fight.
Moreover, Zhang Fei arrived very quickly just now, so the camp should not be far from Jiaozhi.
If there is a counterattack, the first task is to start directly with Zhang Fei.
There is no need to deal with these barbarian aliens.
It was not them who wanted to attack the city, but the Sun and Liu coalition forces behind them.
