1710. Chapter 1710 Shame 5
The three cities may be the last living space for the Baiyue people.
The Baiyue Kingdom was originally overcrowded, with sparse land and dense population. With an order, more than 200,000 Yue people immediately crossed the border and entered the three cities to work and live. After the Baiyue people immigrated, they lived in peace at first.
Without incident, Su Yin even authorized them to use their own people from the Baiyue Kingdom to form self-defense forces. As a result, the three cities had as many as 20,000 self-defense forces. In terms of numbers, they were already equal to those of Dingnan Province at that time*
***There are quite a few people.
But what Su Yin did not expect was that after these people established a firm foothold, they directly launched an offensive against the southern fortress. Perhaps they believed that once they captured the southern fortress, it would be equivalent to opening the southern gate of Great Qin.
According to the oral accounts of the prisoners of war, they received news a month ago that someone from Baiyue entered the three southwest cities and contacted the local governors of the three cities. Immediately afterwards, the Self-Defense Forces in these cities began to practice siege content, and
Under the guidance of those outsiders, they learned the skills of piloting hot air balloons. Now, more than half of the 20,000 Self-Defense Forces soldiers can enter hot air balloon operations.
"Collect the information we got and send it all back to Konoha City, and report it to the Duke and the Emperor." Guan Zhen said with a dark face, "Others are ready for battle. Before sunset today, we will transport it to the main city first.
One hundred and fifty hot air balloons, as well as corresponding soldiers and supplies, the army will be officially dispatched tomorrow morning to kill those Baiyue people."
The Yutian camp is divided into two groups. One group is a messenger team composed of seven hot air balloons, which transmits today's battle report and the information obtained from the prisoners of war back to Konoha City. The other group is a hundred and fifty hot air balloons, fully loaded with a thousand people.
Two hundred fully armed soldiers, plus all kinds of food, arrows, and medicines, headed for the southern fortress again.
At this time, the southern fortress was really at the end of its rope. More than 3,000 soldiers were raided, and only more than 1,000 were left, huddled in the last main city for passive defense. This main city
The main function is to serve as a base to preserve snowman puppets, but it is not a base to store food supplies. After several days of consumption, the food and drinking water inside have reached their limit.
The most serious thing is that the bows and arrows, which are mainly used to defend against the Baiyue people's offensive, are also extremely consumed. In addition to the standard quiver of thirty broad-feathered arrows for each soldier, there are about five more in the armory.
There are more than 10,000 broad-feathered arrows, but after several defensive battles, there are probably less than 10,000 broad-feathered arrows left.
The few remaining broad-feathered arrows will probably last less than two days.
At this time, under a blood-red sunset, one hundred and fifty hot air balloons that covered the sky floated from the sky. The soldiers with blood-red eyes on the top of the main city looked at those hot air balloons and thought for a time that they were being attacked by hundreds of people.
Those captured by the Yue people. In the past few days, the Baiyue people have been trying to attack the main city with hot air balloons. However, because they did not activate the wind magic circle, they were repelled one by one by the trebuchets and broad-feathered arrows in the main city fortress.
.
"Everyone prepare! Enemy attack!"
The soldier shouted at the top of his lungs for the rest of his life, his hoarse throat emitting a burst of severe pain. The drinking water in the city was no longer given priority to supplying the sick and wounded. Even so, the remaining drinking water could only last for a while.
