Qiu He looked at the topographic map of the Green Willow Villa brought back by the scouts of the first battalion, and his brows furrowed into a deep Sichuan character, this landlord and old wealth Zhuangzi is really not easy to fight, if the opponent really has enough troops as he estimated.

The Green Willow Villa is surrounded by water on three sides, and the Liu family has dug out a ring-shaped lake around the Zhuangzi after several generations, surrounding the Green Willow Villa, which also alleviates the surrounding water difficulties from a certain distance, which is another version of farmland water conservancy construction, but at this time, it is a rather difficult problem for the Han army.

If you want to break through the Green Willow Villa, there is basically no other way than to hit it hard from the front. Qiu He didn't have to think about it, the other party must have deployed powerful firepower and most of the troops in the direction of the gate.

"How high is the wall?" Qiu He asked.

"It's very high, at least two feet high, and there are figures swaying on it, it's not a wall, it's a city wall." The scout affirmed: "Every few tens of meters, there is a watchtower, on which bed crossbows are arranged, especially the gate, which is particularly dense. ”

Qiu He snorted, thinking that now he must have added those divine crossbows they captured from the first battalion, thinking of the power of the divine crossbow, Qiu He had a little headache, when fighting the enemy, the power of this thing made him particularly like, but when it was his turn to deal with himself, he was a little unsure of what to do. Now he had some experience of the pain of the enemies of the former Great Han.

"We will inevitably pay a large number of casualties if we fight hard, which obviously does not meet the requirements of the regiment commander, so we have to think of other ways." Qiu He said to several of his company commanders.

"Battalion commander, there is no other way than a hard attack, and we can't conjure up a few naval warships on top of this weir." The commander of the first company, Yu Daifuku, touched his shaved chin and said.

"We can't turn into a sailor, but it's not like there's no way, it's just a weir. How deep can it be dug up raw? Qiu He looked at his subordinates, "Today we will try to find it from the front door, Yu Dafu, you are in charge of the main attack, pay attention, this is not for you to work hard, just give it a try, we need to understand the enemy's firepower configuration, and find out this." You just give it back to me. ”

"What if I knocked it down all at once?" Yu Dafu asked with a smile.

Qiu He's face turned cold, "Dafu, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, if you think so, be careful that you follow in the footsteps of the first battalion, Fu Jiang's company fought a battle in Tucheng, and almost crippled the company, but he didn't even touch the edge of the enemy position in Tucheng, how much stronger are you than Fu Jiang?" ”

Yu Daifuku shrugged. Not to mention that Fu Jiang's command ability will be much stronger than himself, but in terms of personal bravery, he is not comparable to him.

"There's nothing wrong with being careful." Qiu He stared at several of his subordinates present, "The failure of the first battalion is a wake-up call for us. This battle is not as easy to fight as we estimated in advance, even if the Green Willow Villa in front of us can swallow the baggage in one bite, it will have considerable combat power. ”

"Jiang Bing. I know that your water nature is not bad, and there are many such people in your second company, so choose a batch. Go to the bottom of this weir and see if you can find some breakthroughs from underwater. ”

"Understood, battalion commander, if it doesn't work in a company, it's up to me." Lian Jiangbing said with a smile, "We can always find dozens of people with good water quality." ”

"Let's do it first, the third company as a reserve, send the order down, the whole battalion will open up, and advance to the Green Willow Villa. No matter what, we have to speed up the time, and strive to knock down the Green Willow Villa in the shortest possible time, the regiment commander will go to Tucheng in person, if we are late, we will not be able to catch up with the battle of Tucheng. ”

The third watch day will bury the pot to make rice, the fourth watch set off the second camp of the feud and rushed to the green willow villa, it is just the rising season, a round of red sun from the distant peak of the peak out of half of the head, the whole green willow villa is bathed in the sun, surrounded by the green willow villa on three sides of the weir, a layer of misty water vapor steaming, with the breeze left and right. On the water's edge, the willows hang down their delicate branches, gently brushing the surface of the water, causing ripples in the water.

"Damn, the Chu people will really enjoy it." Yu Dafu, who was born in the north, was amazed, "It's really bright, it's like a fairyland, oh my God, there is a willow tree there that is so thick, I'm afraid it won't be a hundred years, otherwise how can it grow so big?" Is it any wonder that this place is called Green Willow Villa, and there are almost no other trees in sight? ”

"No matter how beautiful we are, we can't stop our fire." Qiu He said coldly: "This Green Willow Villa was built here, and at the earliest time, I am afraid that it was only used to prevent bandits or rebellious people, and against the real army, this is not pleasing to the real army, from a military point of view, this is a dead land." As long as an army seals their gates, they have no way to go up to heaven and no way to enter the earth. ”

"In that case, why should we brave their extremely strong firepower to storm it, as long as we defeat the earth city, this will be our bowl sooner or later."

"We don't know how many people are in the village now, so how many people are left to block them, it is not cost-effective to keep too much, and it is not good to be hit by them if they leave less, more importantly, they have killed all the baggage of a battalion, and even the military flag has been snatched away, the Han army has never had such a situation since the beginning of the Fufeng Army, and there may have been times when there was a defeat, but it was never like this battle, no one ran out, and the formed ones were eliminated by others, which came out of our second regiment, out of the third division, and out of the new first army, up to the army commander, down to every soldier, is faceless. Therefore, this battle is not only a military need, but also a face need of the Han army. Green Willow Village must be taken, and the person in charge must pay for the lives of the war dead, which is called blood for blood and tooth for tooth. Qiu He said a few words, and he clarified the mystery of Mao Afu sending a whole battalion to deal with the Green Willow Villa, this matter, now for the second regiment, is already to bear the consequences of the strict zhòng, take the Green Willow Villa, seize the main messenger, and Zhi Shao will make the punishment a little lighter at that time, and everyone's face will look better.

After Qiu He explained the mystery here, Yu Dafu had already raised the Green Willow Villa to a few heights in his heart, and the battalion commander's meaning was already very clear, this was a battle that could not be lost, and if there was a problem, the face of the second regiment would really be lost.

"Let's get started!" Qiu He commanded.

Yu Dafu set up a position in a disciplined manner, in fact, under such a terrain. There is nothing fancy to talk about at all, it is an honest hard attack, and the land road facing the gate of Green Willow Villa is only less than twenty meters wide, and if you want to break through Green Willow Villa, you have to shake his frontal defense and blast open his gate.

The soldiers of the second company spread out their formation and began to press forward slowly, and in the middle of their ranks, the crossbowheads of the four divine crossbows mounted on the cart had just been raised, aiming at the city gate tower in the distance. The arm-open crossbows in the hands of dozens of soldiers had already been loaded with crossbow arrows, and when the whole team was pressed to a distance of three hundred paces, it stopped, and behind them, the sappers of the battalion supporting the second company were quickly unloading the thick steel pillars from the two carriages and assembling them at great speed.

A muffled exclamation rang out from the gate building opposite, and as the massive weapon appeared in front of them, they finally figured out what it was for. It's an oversized trebuchet.

Liu An, who was above the city gate building, gasped, they also captured this thing yesterday, but unfortunately they didn't catch a prisoner, so they didn't know how to assemble it when they got it back. How to use it, seeing the appearance of this thing, Liu An suddenly lost confidence in guarding the Green Willow Villa, and the stones thrown by this thing were only afraid that they could weigh hundreds of pounds. Not to mention the thin walls of Green Willow Villa, even if it is Peng Cheng, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop this guy's heavy blow.

"Remove the city gate building!" Looking at the distance, the other party really put a piece weighing more than 100 pounds on the throwing part behind. Liu An's face turned green. There is no need to guess, the target of the opponent's attack must be where he is now.

Under the leadership of Liu'an, hundreds of scholars on the city gate tower hurriedly left this conspicuous target, just walked down the city gate building, a huge whistling sound has broken through the air, Liu An looked up, and saw a boulder rolling in the air, over the city gate building, only to a house in the village to fly, obviously, the opponent did not aim.

With a loud bang, the roof of the house collapsed like tofu by the boulder, and a scream was heard from inside the house.

"If the city gate cannot be defended, immediately strengthen the second line of defense against the city gate." Liuan ordered.

Watching his soldiers with fearful faces, they began to strengthen the second line of defense, which was a line of defense directly facing the gate, that is, preparing to counterattack the enemy after the gate was breached, where the two divine crossbows he had snatched yesterday were arranged.

As soon as the soldiers entered this second line of defense, there was a huge roar from the Sky Road, and Liu An was startled, this rate of fire was inevitably too fast. Looking up at the sky, this time the impact point was much closer, almost falling against the root of the city wall, smashing a huge hole in the ground.

The enemy is correcting the target of the shot, and it seems that the next shot will hit the city gate tower.

Outside the city, Yu Dafu looked back at the few guys who were busy manipulating the projection greater than or equal to the machine, this is accurate, it is too outrageous, but fortunately, the power is big enough, seeing such a big stone flying in the air, it is really terrifying, this is just one, if the whole division gathers this thing, there will be dozens of units, put them in a row, and launch them together, the scene is too spectacular.

"No problem this time!" The cannon commander in charge of operating the trebuchet made a gesture at Yu Daifu, and with his command, the huge thing once again raised his steel giant arm, and the boulder flew, this time it hit the city gate tower accurately, and under the cheers of the soldiers of the second company, with a loud rumbling sound, the city gate tower disappeared from everyone's eyes, and even the upper part of the city wall with it was also smashed.

"Raised by a son of a bitch, it's really enjoyable, and a few more times, I will collapse this section of the city wall." The protection of the fence of Greenwillow Villa, which can barely be called a city wall, is still too weak.

The counterattack began on the top of the tower, and the bed crossbows on the watchtowers on both sides began to fire in this direction, for them, the target of this shot was already marked, not like the trebuchet that needed to be adjusted again and again. However, the accuracy of the bed crossbow has never been known for its accuracy, and several bed crossbows whistled in, but they did not even touch a single hair of the trebuchet.

"Keep banging, keep banging, Shenji crossbow, suppress those bed crossbows for me, don't let them destroy this treasure." Yu Dafu danced with his hands, with this thing to open the way, maybe this feint attack ordered by the battalion commander could really directly knock down the Green Willow Villa.
