Chapter 36: It's not easy to make a copycat
"Attack!"
At the foot of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain, with Li Dingguo's order.
Fifty men with shields and long knives and wooden ladders on their shoulders rushed down the rugged mountain road to the mountainside, followed by fifty covering archers.
Thundered!
Yes!
Ah!
Logs were suddenly thrown out of the wall and rolled down the slope, causing the rebels to run backwards in fright, and their shields and long knives were thrown to the ground.
Those who fell behind were smashed by the logs and screamed again and again, and some panicked and fell off the cliff on the side, and the scene was really unbearable to look at.
"Damn!"
Li Dingguo, who was at the foot of the mountain, jumped to his feet and scolded, rushed up with a few knives, and cut down several of the righteous soldiers who rushed down to the ground, and roared angrily at the same time: "No matter how dare to retreat without authorization, those who discard their blades, and those who attack their comrades, there will be no mercy!" ”
A group of heroes who escaped looked at the few corpses on the ground, all of them were frightened and did not dare to make a sound.
Li Dingguo didn't let them go again, but changed another batch to rush again, and this time it was halfway through.
But they were killed and injured more, and one by one finally escaped down the mountain with a roll.
"Haha!"
"Brothers, see it, this is the so-called rebel army, in fact, it's a group of fucking soft eggs!"
"The Righteous Army..."
"The eight kings of bullshit, Lao Tzu thinks it's the eight kings..."
Without much effort, they repelled two attacks by the rebels, killing and wounding dozens of people, and the morale of the bandits was greatly boosted.
Li Dingguo was not cutting people this time, and when he heard the scolding from above, his face turned blue, and he immediately organized people and horses to launch two waves of attacks again.
But they were still smashed and fled back, and the four times combined, hundreds of people were killed and injured, and they didn't even touch the edge of the wall.
Qin Yu had already tilted his head to the side, he couldn't bear to look at it directly, this terrain was too tricky.
Mo said that Li Dingguo didn't let his people go, in this case, even if he didn't want the loot, he wouldn't be killed.
Seeing that he was going to organize men and horses to attack, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Dingguo, it is not possible to attack like this, it is better to take a break and think about it in the long run!" ”
"What can you do if you don't attack? Is it difficult to withdraw troops? Li Dingguo said hatefully, obviously red-eyed.
"With so many brothers dead, it is naturally impossible to retreat, but the terrain here is narrow and steep, so it is too lethal to let the wood roll down, so it is better to nail some wooden stakes on the hillside and advance layer by layer, and see how the effect is?"
Qin Yu touched his chin and said.
But he sighed in his heart, he knew that Li Dingguo was young and vigorous at this time, and he was far from the maturity and stability of the anti-Qing Dynasty.
"Okay, then give it a try!"
Li Dingguo nodded, and calmed down a lot.
Immediately, the army was busy again.
"Mother, Brother Xiaoyu, why did they go to chop wood again?"
"I guess I want to make some more shields!" Mrs. Li thought for a moment and said.
"Oh!"
"Mother, do you say Brother Xiaoyu can attack them?" Li Wan'er nodded, then looked at the cottage in the distance and said curiously, because there was no danger and it was far away, so she was not too afraid.
"Wan'er, don't talk nonsense..."
Mrs. Li hurriedly covered her mouth nervously, and looked behind her at the young guards, who were obviously bitten by snakes and were afraid of the well rope for ten years.
It was really when Leader Qin was angry, it was too terrifying, and it was not something that their mother and daughter could afford to provoke at all.
"Let's go! It's almost noon, let's go back and cook! ”
As he spoke, he took his daughter and returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain with a basket of washed wild vegetables.
As for whether she can take down this cottage, she doesn't care much, anyway, she won't be caught by those bandits who will fight back down the mountain, she still knows this.
Afternoon.
Hundreds of wooden stakes with the thickness of the mouth of the bowl were made, one end was sharpened, and many wooden sledgehammers were made.
The attack continued again, this time Li Dingguo only sent about 20 people, carrying wooden stakes and sledgehammers, and there were still hundreds of meters away from the wall, so he stopped and began to nail the wooden stakes.
Ten in a row, each one meter apart, after nailing a row, push up five meters, stagger and nail again.
The heroes on the mountain were suddenly confused by the second monk.
"Big brother, what the hell are these bastards doing?"
"It's not going to be a trebuchet or something, is it?"
"Pick up a log and throw it down."
Yang Tianxing did not answer, but commanded with a gloomy face.
When the two big men heard this, they hurriedly climbed the wall with a piece of wood the size of a human head and more than a zhang long, and threw it directly from their shoulders after shouting one, two, three.
A section of the slope down the wall, apparently specially cleared.
Not only were there no weeds and gravel, but even some of the raised areas were bulldozed and the recesses were filled in.
The wood fell to the ground, bounced high, and several times in a row, before it rolled down against the ground.
The big man who was nailing the stake below hurriedly threw away the guy in his hand and fled downward.
With a thud, the wood was successfully stopped by two wooden stakes in the second row, and the big men who had not yet fled to the foot of the mountain were relieved when they saw this, and hurriedly rushed up and began to nail it again.
"Damn, these rebels are not stupid, if they carry some stones up, Lao Tzu will see if they can stop it." Yang Tianxing scolded when he saw this.
But Qin Yu and Li Dingguo under the mountain were overjoyed.
"Xiaoyu, you still have more options."
"Hehe, you do it, I use my brain, it's just a division of labor and cooperation!"
Qin Yu smiled and waved his hand, then looked at the stones that rolled down, frowned, and ordered: "Saw some more ten-meter-long logs and lift them up and lay them in front of the stake." ”
"Yes!"
In this way, hundreds of people took turns nailing wooden stakes to lift the wood, stopping people without stopping work, and they were busy until the evening, when they nailed the wooden stakes to 20 meters away from the wall.
Hundreds of people were stoned to death and wounded, and the camp was already full of wounded.
Fortunately, it was a siege war, and Li Dingguo always had an elite henchman eyeing him below, otherwise it is estimated that no one would want to do this kind of dangerous work.
"Xiaoyu, it's getting dark, let's fight at night!"
"There's no need, the brothers are tired for a day, they need to relax, it's good to send some archers to guard the mountain at night, and it's not too late to fight again tomorrow."
Qin Yu waved his hand to stop his crazy thoughts, but he also understood his feelings of not wanting to wait for a moment and wanting to enter the cottage.
If he were to be replaced by a day, more than 200 of his men would be killed or wounded, and the wall would not be touched, and he would definitely have to go crazy.
Li Dingguo's hundreds of archers, or the broken bows captured during the last ambush, were picked and repaired, and a hundred pairs were used.
Some arrowheads were made out of the extra spear heads, and the carpenter made some arrow shafts, which were used as killer tools, which did little during the day, but now had a place to use them at night.
At night, Yang Tianxing really led people out to sabotage, wanting to cut down those damn stakes, but was embarrassed by several rounds of arrows and fled back, and more than a dozen heroes were shot into hedgehogs.
The next day, the army had breakfast early in the morning and came to the foot of the mountain to assemble and stand by, all of them looking nervous, obviously knowing that there would be a fierce battle today.
