Chapter 549: Fire Attack
The officers and soldiers were not in a hurry or irritated, carefully and carefully cleaned up the battlefield outside, replaced the forwards, and pressed again with the new force. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The black-headed soldiers were unable to fight anymore, and retreated directly into the entrance of the cave, which had a low wall, plugging the gap, and the entrance of the cave was wide, and the officers and soldiers had nothing to do. If you get a little closer, you will become the target of the Tenri Sect crossbowmen.
Officers at all levels of the Beida Battalion took turns to come over and discuss the attack plan.
Thinking about the problem from the perspective of the bandits, now it is nothing more than to defend or flee.
Stubbornly defending is just a matter of dying early and dying late, and the officers and soldiers have patience to consume.
What should I do if I escape?
Many people have suppressed bandits, and they all said in unison: take the dark road!
The leader of the army was extremely sensible, and immediately ordered the entrance of the cave to stop attacking and shooting, and took turns to rest.
Turning back to a thin officer: what do you think?
This person thought for a while: send a few people to carry me to the top of the cave, I check the mountain, I can't find the location of the secret passage, but excluding the entrance of the cave, I can delineate the possible range of the general direction of the secret passage.
Another person came up with an idea: attack with fire! If you can't burn them to death, at least you can smoke them to death, and the Xiangyang battalion has such a battle example.
Determined, a dozen people immediately escorted the officer who had seen the terrain up the mountain.
A company immediately cut down trees and rattans, but fortunately, a small Taoist temple next to it actually stored a lot of vegetable oil, it seems that the incense was good.
The leader of the blackheads in the cave was worried.
The big man who escaped laughed: Big brother is worry-free, as long as he lasts until dark. We'll be able to get out.
The leader of the blackheads smiled bitterly: How are you so optimistic? Forgot to ask your brother's last name?
Dahao smiled: No expensive! My surname is Tian, and I have a nickname called Vole!
The vole was fat, and he grabbed the ashes on the ground and clapped his hands: there was wind in the hole. Naturally, there is no exit, and everyone escapes after dark. Brother, I'm fat, trouble the leader to arrange for me to rest, and when the road is open at night, just don't leave my brother.
The leader of the blackheads smiled helplessly.
The cave is huge, and there are a lot of old weapons, some of which have been left out for too long and have decayed, and most of them can still be used if repaired.
He sighed, arranged the rotation of the cave entrance, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and rested, a little sad.
Not long after, someone staggered to report that the officers and soldiers had set the fire.
He got up: Flustered about what? I'll take a look.
Beidaying is really full of talents, and in this moment, a very simple stone throwing machine will be built.
It is very small, and it is not a stone, but a rattan ball made of branches.
More than two dozen soldiers on the top of the cave entrance were also busy, preparing to go down from above. However, for now, it is mainly to correct each other with the opposite stone throwing machine to ensure that the stone throwing machine can be moved directly into the hole. The crossbowmen also began to suppress, protecting the stone thrower.
There will not be many holes, and the outer wall of the cave is wide, and more than two dozen rattan balls are rolling everywhere. But five or six rattan balls had passed over the low wall and entered the hole.
A rattan ball was doused with vegetable oil, lit it, and passed through it with a flame.
The catapult basket had been doused with water, and instead of slapping the flames, dozens of fireballs rushed in. At first, the throwing was not fast, the black-headed soldier could still hold the fireball and throw it, but when the throw was fast, the temperature rose, and suddenly burst into flames, and the black-headed soldier caught fire.
The crowd screamed, and some jumped out of the hole, rolled to the ground, and were shot mercilessly by the crossbowmen of the officers and soldiers.
The rest retreated deeper into the cave.
The soldiers at the top of the cave immediately pushed down a lanyard and a set of wooden bundles on fire.
Holding a long wooden pole at the bottom, he carried it to the hole, said hello, and let go. However, after a while, the whole entrance to the cave was blocked by a pyre, but the flames were smaller, and they were all smoke. Except for the two dozen or so people who remained in the guards.
The rest of the people, except for the wounded, began to search for them. The officer who looked at the mountain drew a general direction, and suggested that if there was smoke, it should be blocked immediately.
As a result, there were several places on the mountain where smoke came from, and some of them were just crevices in the rocks, which were crushed to death with soil. There is an air outlet the size of a dog hole, and the branches are cut and mated first, and then pressed with soil.
In the key direction drawn by the thin officer, it was found that there were several bandits who crawled out, but they were all shot. No one came out since.
After three days, under the repeated urging of the Xifu Gong inspection personnel, the Beida Battalion had no choice but to open the entrance to the cave and ventilate everywhere, and the wind blew for a long time before entering.
As a result, it was like hell inside, the bones of the people were still there, and the flesh was almost completely dissolved.
But what is even more surprising is that there is another unscathed live hole in the hole.
Later, it was identified by the locals as a robber and a vole from tomb robbery.
In order to survive, the vole claimed to be the family of Prime Minister Wu Zaicong, and the righteous brother of his uncle Tuye.
Therefore, he was not executed with those bandits in Shandong, and after a few days of delay, he was personally escorted into Beijing by two gods who were on a business trip in Shandong.
