Just when the food soldiers in the camp were sleeping soundly, the first battalion began to run.
A thousand cavalrymen ran like thunder in the quiet night, and the momentum seemed extremely huge.
The large food soldiers in the camp were quickly awakened.
They could still distinguish the sound of horse hooves from the sound of thunder.
Soon, disheveled soldiers rushed out of the camp with weapons in hand.
Under the command of the generals, they formed a square formation to defend on the spot.
Come, the soldiers garrisoned on the wall of the camp also reacted at this time.
Teams of infantry archers stood up and threw arrows into the darkness outside the wall under the command of the guard.
A quarter of an hour later, the general of the Dashi Army in the camp discovered that the enemy had not appeared at all.
There were only the sounds of horse hooves and shouts of death in the darkness ahead, and no enemy appeared.
He immediately ordered the soldiers to stop shooting arrows, but at this time Dashi The military archers had already fired dozens of waves of arrows.
A Western Qin cavalryman ran to Wei Gao and reported: "General, the food army shot a total of thirty-six arrows.
Most of the arrows landed one hundred and forty feet away from the wall, and more It falls between 140 to 130 feet.
Judging from the density of arrows, there should be three thousand archers deployed on this wall."
Wei Gao calculated: "With three thousand people, one batch of arrows is 3,000, and thirty-six batches is 10,800.
If we make trouble a few more times, won't the arrows given to us by the cannibals not be enough for us?"
Been using it for a long time” One of the generals looked disgusted: "General, the quality of the arrows of the Great Cannibal is very poor.
Compared with our arrows, they are not easy to use.
The range is not up to the standard of our arrows.
The damage is The strength is far inferior.”
Wei Gao said: "Just be content.
Now we are in the enemy's territory, with inconvenient transportation and difficult logistics.
If we run out of arrows, the arrows given to us by these big cannibals can still hold a pair."
"Hey, didn't you say before that the range of their walking bows was around 150 steps?
How come most of the arrows landed at 140 steps?"
The general reminded: "General, the current wind direction is against the big cannibals.
It is already very good that their arrows can shoot so far."
Wei Gao reacted after being reminded.
He immediately thought of an idea and said to his general: "If you let the second battalion and the third battalion take turns to rush to a distance of 150 steps to harass and shout to kill, we will then Let the big eater send more arrows."
The general wondered: "General, if we do it once, it's okay.
If we do it many times, the cannibals are not that stupid.
They will also send us arrows."
Wei Gao waved his hand and said: "You just go, wait until they are no longer fooled, and then go quickly.
But this time you can't just shout to kill, there must be screams, the more miserable the screams, the better."
The general looked confused: "General, why is this?"
Wei Gao cursed: "Oh no, why are you such a pig?
If you don't scream louder and let them know the killing effect, how can they continue to shoot arrows?"
The general was scolded, he scratched his cheek and said: "That's right, I will go right now."
The second harassment began.
The general led the second battalion and continued to charge until they were about 150 steps away from the wall, riding their horses back and forth non-stop.
When the generals and soldiers of Dashi on the wall heard the noise, they became nervous again.
The guard was worried that the army of Dashi would rush under the wall and break it down, so he immediately ordered arrows to be fired.
You must know that this village wall is only made of wood, and many of them are made of beams and door panels, which are not very strong.
If the Western Qin Army is prepared and risks casualties and forcibly attacks, this wall may not be able to stop the Western Qin Army.
Cavalry charge.

The cavalrymen of the Western Qin Army who were running back and forth saw a large number of arrows being fired at them, and each of them began to scream loudly.
The large number of screams made the Dashi guard on the wall of the stronghold overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and fire the arrows.
Speed up and fire arrows to kill the Western Qin army."
The Dashi Army fired nearly thirty more rounds of arrows, but heard a lot of screams, but never saw the Western Qin Army.
The guard immediately reacted, thinking that he was afraid of being attacked by the Western Qin people again.
Immediately ordered to stop firing arrows.
Two consecutive harassments made Manmanhard unable to sit still in the camp.
He led his guards to the wall of the stronghold.
When the guard of the wall saw Manhard's arrival, he immediately stepped forward to pay homage: "General, why are you here?"
" "It's so busy outside, do you think I can stay here?
What's going on with the Western Qin Army?"
Manhard asked.
The guard smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency General, I was deceived by the Western Qin Army.
They always waved their flags and shouted outside the range of our bows and arrows.
We couldn't see them and didn't know the specific distance.
I was worried that they would attack by force near the wall, so I Ordered to release arrows, until now, each of our soldiers has shot out a pot of arrows, leaving only a spare pot."
Manhard thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow night, we must light some fires at the shooting range of our bows and arrows for lighting.
It was my mistake this time.
I didn't take this into consideration.
I don't blame you for this if the Western Qin Army If you call for kill again, you cannot shoot arrows easily.
You can only shoot arrows after seeing the enemy's silhouette.
They just want to use this method to consume our arrows.
We can't be fooled anymore."
The guard general agreed: "Yes, Your Excellency General" When Wei Gao saw his generals and soldiers coming back with bundles of arrows, he asked with a smile on his face: "How many are there this time?"
The general shook his head and said: "This time there are not as many as last time, only more than 9,000."
Wei Gao touched his chin, turned around a few times in his mind, and said to his general: "It doesn't matter, next you lead the third battalion to shoot arrows at the wall of the village from a distance of 150 steps.
Now for us If there is a tailwind, the range of our bows and arrows will be greater than 150 steps, while the cannibal's bows and arrows have a range of less than 140 steps due to the headwind.
Go and shoot them to death and let them know how powerful we are."
When the general heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Yes, general" Under the command of the general, the third battalion galloped over again on horseback, and began to run back and forth at a distance of fifty steps at a time.
This time they were not just galloping back and forth, but running and shooting, shouting a lot.
The sound of killing was mixed with the sound of the bow string bouncing back, and the arrow flew up into the sky and landed on the wall of the village.
The arrows falling from the sky suddenly fell like rain on the soldiers of the Food Army on the wall of the village.
They screamed one after another and fell to the ground one by one.
Encountered a sudden rain of arrows, not to mention the defenders of the village wall, even Manhard was confused.
Several guards carried shields to protect the two people under the arrow tower, but the arrow tower covered with thatch Unable to prevent the arrows from penetrating, the guards had no choice but to continue to hold their shields above their heads to protect the two of them.
Manhard squatted in the arrow tower and was furious: "How could this happen?
These are Western Qin cavalry.
Their bows and arrows have a similar range to ours.
They must be within the range.
Order the archers to counterattack quickly.
Counterattack quickly."
The guard general immediately ordered the Dashi archers hiding on the wall to shoot arrows at the Western Qin Army outside.
The Dashi Army soldiers could not see them anyway, so they could only shoot at random.
It was not known whether they hit the target or not.
However, the Western Qin Army When the cavalry saw the food army shooting arrows here, they screamed for a while and shouted for kill.

"It's working.
They must have suffered casualties.
Their number is not as large as ours.
Keep shooting and shoot them to death."
Manhard immediately ordered and shouted after hearing the screams of the Western Qin Army.
The soldiers of the Great Food Army on the wall received orders and had to brave the huge casualties and march towards the invisible dark room.
"General, we are running out of arrows."
"General, I've run out of arrows."
Many Taishi soldiers began to shout that they had finished shooting arrows.
The guard squatted in the arrow tower and looked at Manhard and asked: "Your Excellency, the soldiers are almost out of arrows.
What should we do now?
Can we only be passive?"
There aren’t many places to hide on the walls of the fortress, and if this continues, all our archers will be killed.”
Manhard thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Quickly bring in arrows from the other two walls and shields from the camp to block them.
Now let the soldiers hold on and stick to the wall.
No one is allowed to escape. , find one and kill one, do you understand?"
The defender knew that once the wall was undefended, the Western Qin army would definitely find out and rush over to occupy the wall.
Then it would be all over.
"Yes, Your Excellency General, I will send someone to bring over arrows and a batch of shields."
Shields and arrows were quickly transferred, and the Dashi army with shields suffered much fewer casualties.
Manhard has been wondering why the Western Qin Army never showed up.
What are they doing?
Manhard, who was thinking, suddenly noticed that the flag on the arrow tower was constantly swinging.
His mind moved.
The wind was blowing from the opposite side.
He immediately thought that the arrows shot against the wind would not fly to the fixed range position at all.
On the other hand, the range of the opponent's arrows can exceed the fixed range.
"Cunning, too cunning, cunning Han people" Manhard cursed loudly, and then loudly said: "Stop shooting arrows, everyone hides from me, everyone hides" After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Great Food Army squatted down and covered their heads with shields.
The casualties were reduced sharply, but some unlucky ones were still shot in the thighs and feet.
"Stop" The Western Qin military general discovered the anomaly on the wall, immediately ordered to stop firing arrows, and then returned with the soldiers.
"Why did you stop?"
Wei Gao asked when he saw the general returning with the third battalion.
The general cupped his fists and said: "General, the food army has discovered the mystery and has stopped shooting arrows and has hid.
It would be a waste for us to shoot more arrows."
"Is that so?"
Wei Gao touched his nose, "It seems that Manhard is not a fool, he has some ability."
After thinking about it, Wei Gao immediately had another idea and ordered: "Let the first battalion be dispatched again.
All dismount, hold up their shields, and use their waist knives to form a tight shield array and slowly approach the wall.
Once they reach the wall, drink wine and destroy it."
It would be best if the wall could be knocked down.
If you can't bring it down, you have to destroy its structure, or tie it with ropes to the wood of the wall, and then let the soldiers behind pull it down so that the second battalion can reach the 150th step.
As long as the big soldiers on the wall If they show their heads, let the second battalion release arrows and shoot them to death."
The general's eyes lit up when he heard this, he gave a thumbs up and said, "This is a great move, general.
Let's see how the big eater responds":
