It's been five days, and the defense of Jicheng has been fought for five days.
The city was littered with corpses, some of them from Shanjung and some of their own.
The walls are littered with traces of fire.
Because of the straw man, Shan Rong didn't dare to shoot arrows for two days, but on the third day, I don't know which brain turned around, and he actually released a rocket.
Since then, Ji Ning's straw man strategy has failed.
But fortunately, more than 1,000 arrows have been plundered, and if they are used properly, they can still be defended.
It's just a pity, the other party's military advisor is not a fool, after eating a few deflated, when he learned a trick to retreat, the shield covered the arrows on the corpse.
And they began to be stationed not far from the city, so that although they were exposed, it could prevent them from going out and cleaning the battlefield at night.
The arrows began to wear out.
The other party will not give it to the people of Jicheng, but they can take advantage of the opportunity of arrows, and almost every shot is carried with fire.
Shanjung's arrows are still metal heads and wooden poles.
The metal head burns on fire, and when the arrow is released, the flame begins to burn towards the shaft of the arrow little by little.
It only takes about three minutes for the shaft of the arrow to burn off and fall off, and it can no longer be used.
Even if the flames are removed in time, the burned-out arrow crosshair will be greatly reduced, and it will still be unusable.
There are a lot of logistics soldiers in the city, and the arrow shafts are out of chopping firewood, and they are working overtime to make arrow shafts.
Pressed directly on the arrow, but barely shot out.
Relying on such a consumption method, Ji Ning persisted for another three days.
It's a pity that there is less and less wood in the city now, and it really can't be relied on this method alone.
So began the fierce battle of the city wall In the first five days, they also lost a lot of people, and there were more than five hundred left on the north wall of the front, and no one was injured.
Also, 500 lightly wounded could not get out of the line of fire, and the remaining seriously wounded were all dragged back to the wounded barracks.
Now that there is no medicine, I am basically waiting to die.
However, there is more horror waiting for them than this.
"General Xiahou, we have nothing to eat, and we are going to run out of food."
The sword-wielding samurai ran back and said.
Food shortage This is the most terrible thing, once the food is cut off, there is no need for them to attack at all, and they can starve to death if they are starved directly.
The most important thing is that Ji Ning actually felt hungry "Where's the food in the city?"
"It's been looted for a long time, and it's gone" In the 7th century BC, Shanjung successively went south to attack Zheng, Yan, Qi and other countries, and the Marquis of Yanhuan was forced to move the capital to Linyi to avoid the invasion of Shanjung.
As early as that time, there were only soldiers left in Jicheng, a complete barracks.
Of course, there were also some auxiliaries, men, coachmen, and a small number of farmers and vendors.
It can be said that from that time onwards, Jicheng became a thoroughly strategic town.
This state of affairs has continued for decades.
It was not until not long ago, after learning of the large-scale attack of Shanjung, the general immediately ordered a part of the soldiers to quickly escort the non-combatants south to Yidu.
At this point, the entire city is completely destroyed, and only the warriors remain.
When evacuating, some food will be left behind.
It's a pity that after a week of looting, I almost ate the bark.
Now the remaining food is less than two days' worth of.
The soldiers have all become soft-footed shrimps, and if they continue like this, I am afraid that if they don't hold on to the arrival of Qi Huangong's team, they will burp.
The historical Jicheng should not have fallen, otherwise, with the group of burning and looting mountains, Jicheng would have been destroyed long ago.
Let's talk about five years later, in 657 BC, in the first year of Yan Xiang, Yan returned to Jicheng from Yidu.
So, how did General Xiahou survive at that time?
"Did the spies send out?"
"I've already killed three waves, it's useless," the sword-wielding samurai shook his head and sighed.
"In other words, we don't know at all how many enemies there are, and where are the reinforcements of Duke Huan, right?"
"I'm afraid so" Ji Ning let out a sigh, "It seems that the only way to do this is to carry out the decapitation operation."
"No, General," the sword-wielding samurai was dumbfounded, "General, the soldiers have become soft-footed shrimps, how can they follow the general to behead."

And we don't know how many people there are on the other side and where the military advisor is.
In case the general has three longs and two shorts, what should we do in Jicheng?"
"Hey" Ji Ning sighed, yes, what should I do Not to mention the rest of the soldiers, even he felt infinitely tired.
The physical strength and combat power have declined unlimitedly, and now even if you swing the sword, you are a little tired.
After a week of defensive battles, I only slept for an hour or two a day, and I felt like I was going blind.
However, there are a lot of people on the opposite side, and they can take turns attacking and don't give them time to rest at all.
If it goes on like this, let alone archery, even swinging a sword will be a little missable.
Suddenly seeing the corpse under the city wall, Ji Ning trembled a little, and dragged his deputy: "Have you ever eaten someone?"
"What" "Shhhh "General, you're going to do this" "We have only one choice left, cannibalism, or starvation to death and breach the walls.
Then," Ji Ning pointed behind him with his big hand, "Behind is Yidu, where our relatives are."
Once the city of Jicheng is broken, they can pass through the mountain passage to the east and drive straight to the bottom of the city of Yidu. ” “” "Do you want to see that our tragedy here is once again staged in Yidu?"
"This" the sword-wielding samurai shook his head, his eyes firm, "I don't want to be" "I might as well take advantage of the darkness to find the guards and go down and bring up some of the ones that are not yet rotten.
Remember, don't be seen, and if anyone asks, say horse meat stolen from Shanjung."
"This is" It's been a week, and the general, who is lying on the hospital bed and hasn't died yet, opened his eyes again, and the corners of his mouth curved a lovely arc: "It's coming" It's night In the corner of Jicheng, five black-clothed people quietly followed the rope and fell.
After a careful search, he dragged five corpses up the city wall.
Then, the numb unraveling.
Cannibalism This was not very unusual in ancient times, in slave societies, and it was not measured by modern standards.
Yue Fei still eats it, laughing and talking about thirsty for Hun blood In the early morning, when the unraveling is completed, all but the parts that can be easily seen are thrown away from the stove As for the skeleton or something, it was thrown into a corner and buried in the soil.
"Hmmm, it smells of meat" "You're stupid, you're about to run out of food, where does the smell of meat come from?"
"Hallucinations, hallucinations."
The soldiers are not stupid, if there is food or not, and how much food there is, how can they not detect the restless mood of the past two days, and they have already been told that the food is almost gone.
They are about to starve to death.
Meaty Are you kidding.
"Well, it really smells of meat" "It's not a hallucination."
"What kind of meat is this?"
"Horse meat" "I've eaten horse meat, it doesn't seem to taste like this, why does it smell like mutton?"
"This is the horse that the general stole back all night, maybe it was raised with sheep, it has a smell, you don't like to eat it."
"Eat, eat, of course eat." oshow7 t1706231537:
