Chapter 377: Pendulum Scythe

Waiting for safety, after a little statistics, the corners of Wang Yan's mouth twitched, and he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. In such a short period of time, more than 400 people were lost. But Li Zicheng rushed over with his troops, Wang Yan didn't want to be underestimated, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, "Ahem, General Li, you're late, the one surnamed Zhao has already let Wang run away." ”

Li Zicheng glanced at the situation around him and sneered secretly in his heart. This Wang Yan is really a swollen face and a fat man, and Zhao Shujiao obviously withdrew by himself. Look at this appearance, I'm afraid that I didn't chase too deep and was beaten by Zhao Shujiao, right? I knew it in my heart, but Li Zicheng would not say anything, but instead arched his hand and said: "Brother Wang is both civil and military, then Zhao Shujiao can only sneak attack, and if he really fights, he is naturally not an opponent." ”

Wang Yan replied with a blushing face and a heartbeat, but he also knew the sarcasm in Li Zicheng's words, but he just didn't know, "General Li, King Chuang asked me to attack first, and now Zhao is teaching Chen Bing Zhangjiaying Village, you see ......."

Wang Yan looked at Li Zicheng with complicated eyes, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious. I, Wang Yan, have been leading troops to fight for a while, and the next attack on Zhangjiaying Village should be up to you, right? Li Zicheng was a little helpless, Wang Yan didn't have much wisdom, but he was a lot smarter, and he just sarcastically mocked him, and he got the field back.

"Leader Wang can rest first, wait for the army to gather, and the next thing will be taken care of by Li first" Li Zicheng didn't have the heart to worry about Wang Yan, Zhangjiaying Village would fight sooner or later.

Zhangjiaying Village is exactly at the turn of the official road. At that time, the official road turned here because of the high terrain of Zhangjiaying Village, and it was inconvenient to build roads. Zhangjiaying Village relies on the official road, and you can reach it by stretching out your hand, and the village has made a lot of money by relying on this official road over the years. A small village, in ten years, has developed into a small town. If the peasant army wants to go north, it can't get around Zhangjiaying Village, but Zhangjiaying Village is high and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Li Zicheng led his troops to the outside of the village, and when he looked up, his brain hurt a little. In just two days, there was an earthen wall in the village, and at this time, the head was constantly poking out from the earthen wall, and it was obvious that there were many firecrackers and crossbowmen hidden behind it. No wonder Wang Yan suffered a loss here, and it was not for no reason.

Li Yan and the others stood by and watched for a long time, but they didn't come up with a good solution. The Zhangjia camp is high, and the grass and trees around it are scarce, so it can be said that the water attack is not good, and the fire attack is not good. But you can't go around it, as long as you dare to walk through the pipe, the people in the wall can shoot you with bows and arrows, who can stand this?

There is nothing to do, then it can only be attacked, Li Zicheng sank his face and said to Lu Weiliang: "What about Liu Zongmin? Let him lead the troops to fight, and tell him that this is a good opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions, as long as he defeats Zhangjiaying, he can not be blamed for the previous loss of Wushan, and there will be a heavy reward. ”

Now Liu Zongmin has become a figure within the peasant army, since he arrived in Nanzhili, Liu Zongmin has quickly emerged, from the head of the team to a small leader. Li Zicheng is also very optimistic about Liu Zongmin, so he escorted him to guard Wushan in front of Gao Yingxiang. But I didn't expect that Liu Zongmin was beaten by the living king of Hades within two days of staying in Wushan, and because of this, Li Zicheng was not less ridiculed.

Zhangjiaying Village, but a good opportunity to be ashamed of the snow, if Liu Zongmin is strained again, Li Zicheng decided to re-brand the surname Liu into a team leader.

After getting the order, Liu Zongmin naturally didn't dare to slack off, a few days ago in the battle of Wushan, but it was really embarrassing, how could he get his face back. The injuries he suffered in Taojiaying Village were not completely healed, but Liu Zongmin didn't care too much, and in just half an hour, he took more than 2,000 people to the small intersection outside Zhangjiaying Village. didn't wait for Liu Zongmin to rush up, he heard a roar, and saw a big man wielding a big knife and pounced directly.

The big man was followed by about 100 people, but he was extremely excited and murderous. Those people rushed quickly, and it seemed that they could rush out of the village and fight. Liu Zongmin looked straight in the eyes, what did he say? Shouldn't you defend and I'll attack? Why did you suddenly save yourself and rush out? Before he could speak, someone behind him had already exclaimed, "Ahhh.....h I know him, that guy is Zhao Shujiao......"

The face of the person who spoke changed drastically, and his legs and stomach trembled. Liu Zongmin's heart sank, and his expression became much more solemn, he had heard of Zhao Shujiao's name, this person was a well-known Liaodong general, and the peasant army had suffered a lot under him before. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Shujiao had already led people to kill in front of him, and although Liu Zongmin was injured, he was not afraid, and he actually rushed forward. Liu Zongmin pounced on Zhao Shujiao, Zhao Shujiao naturally wouldn't hide, the two slashed each other with two knives, and with a clang, sparks splashed everywhere. In just one round, Liu Zongmin felt that his hands were a little numb, and Zhao Shujiao was also shocked.

Surprised and surprised, but Zhao Shujiao didn't stop at all, and he waved it like a storm, and the knife greeted Liu Zongmin's vital point. Zhao Shujiao stood on a high place and fought from top to bottom, which already had a lot of advantages, while Liu Zongmin was injured and had to deal with it passively, and soon, he was a little overwhelmed. After beating for a while, I only felt that the tiger's mouth hurt, and the palms of my hands were already oozing blood. Liu Zongmin is really a little scared now, he is already like this, but Zhao Shujiao is a tiger, and the bigger he gets, the more energetic he is.

deliberately let the people behind rush up, relying on the advantage of a large number of people, to drive Zhao Shujiao back, but the intersection is steep and narrow, which is very fatal. Liu Zongmin found a problem, the people behind him couldn't come up for a while, and if they wanted to help, they had to go around from the fork in the side. However, he, Liu Zongmin, couldn't hold on anymore.

With a bang, Zhao Shujiao stabbed down, heavy and fast, and the knife in Liu Zongmin's hand almost fell to the ground. Shocked in his heart, he snorted and took a few steps back decisively. Liu Zongmin really didn't want to withdraw, so he wanted to take this opportunity to be ashamed, if he went back again, then General Li would not have to pick up his Liu's skin.

It seemed that Liu Zongming was already overwhelmed, Zhao Shujiao laughed, slashed the big knife, and pounced again, "Liu Zongmin, right?" Don't retreat, Grandpa Zhao's knife still needs a few bowls of blood, ah...... Come, fight hard......"

Zhao rated's eyes were like copper bells, and he was as powerful as a tiger. Liu Zongmin secretly scolded his mother in his heart, beat a fart, and if he continued to fight, his life was really going to be lost here, and his life was the most important thing now, so he turned around and shouted at the people behind him: "Retreat first, retreat to the intersection to reorganize the attack, all for Lao Tzu to withdraw, quickly withdraw ......" Liu Zongmin was anxious, running slowly, others may be fine, but he probably had to be chopped off by Zhao Shujiao. It's really unfavorable for the passing years, how did you meet a ruthless character like Zhao Shujiao as soon as you came up? Zhao Shujiao is also really, he didn't guard Zhangjiaying well, and he took the initiative to attack it, it was incredible, and it was impossible to guard against it, who did he learn this trick from? The whole one doesn't play according to the routine!

Fortunately, Liu Zongmin's people did not rush deeply, and it was still too late to retreat. The order was given, and a group of people rushed back, and in a blink of an eye, they retreated to the official road. Zhao Shujiao saw that the sneak attack was not successful, and he did not dare to chase desperately, so he shouted and hurriedly retreated to Zhangjiaying.

was tossed by Zhao Shujiao, and the loss of soldiers and horses was not much, but the morale of the brothers was greatly affected. Especially Liu Zongmin himself, he was even more frightened, and he couldn't calm down until now. Anyway, if this battle is fought in a mess, the defeat will be even more confused.

"Get up, get ready for Lao Tzu, after a quarter of an hour, attack again, this time all pounce, if anyone dares to play tricks in the back again, don't blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing the knife in his hand" Liu Zongmin was angry, and his tone was very cold and hard. You must hit Zhangjiaying before Li Zicheng comes, otherwise, how will he Liu be mixed up in the future? took more than 2,000 people to fight the village, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was beaten by more than 100 people.

Everyone knows Liu Zongmin's methods, for those who are disobedient Liu Zongmin is very strict, there were a few people who were not active in the war before, and they were all hung on a tree by Liu Zongmin afterwards, and they were hungry for two days and two nights.

Soon, Liu Zongmin organized an attack again, this time much more cautious than the last time, Liu Zongmin asked his men to spread out as much as possible, holding a shield in front. Although many of the shields are made of wood, they still have the ability to protect themselves. Sure enough, this time Zhao Shujiao didn't dare to rush out again, and when he was less than twenty zhang away from the Zhangjiaying wall, the arrows and firearms all began to exert their might. The clanging sound continued to sound, but the damage of the peasant army was not great. Most of them left a few black dots on their shields, and could not pose a substantial threat to the peasant army behind.

Zhao Shujiao frowned, if he had a new musket used by Yunfu in his hand, and fired a salvo, he would have to kill and injure more than a dozen people, just with that kind of wooden shield, he wanted to block the bullets? The banging sound was endless, and the effect was very small, Zhao Shujiao waved his hand a little annoyed, "Okay, let the fire gun hand stop, after fighting for a long time, not even a single bird feather was injured, prepare the big sickle, Lao Tzu wants to invite the surname Liu to drink a pot of old wine." ”

In other words, Liu Zongmin is still quite proud, this shield snail crawling formation is still stolen from the living Hades. At the beginning, everyone really didn't like this style of play, and the advance was too slow, but after suffering a lot of losses, they slowly knew the benefits of this snail turtle formation. Slow to slow, but resistant, can minimize the risk of bows and arrows and firearms. Liu Zongmin even wanted to get a special shield soldier to create an iron shield like the Yunfu infantry, but unfortunately, the conditions did not allow it. An iron shield with dozens of silver, with this money already divided, who will use it to make iron lumps?

If there is an iron shield, Lao Tzu is afraid of even a new musket. Seeing that he was about to reach the wall, Liu Zongmin shouted: "Rush up and cut down the cowards behind the wall, Zhangjiaying is ours...... Kill it....."

"Ah...... Kill...... "Because the earthen wall is not too high, there is no need for ladders at all, hundreds of peasant troops rushed forward in a swarm, some people squatted down, and another person stepped on his shoulder to directly grab the wall. The Zhangjiaying earthen wall is built on the basis of the height difference, and there is no masonry tamping, which leads to the fact that the earthen wall is not strong.

Liu Zongmin is confident that as long as he takes a cup of tea, he will definitely be able to break the ground. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the earthen walls to groan in pain and fall to the ground. This time, the attacking peasant army was even more energetic, and they rushed up desperately one by one, and Liu Zongmin was the same, just about to urge the people behind to hurry up, when suddenly his pupils shrank, and he saw something in his field of vision.

It was a scythe, but the scythe was magnified dozens of times, and the scythe was tied to the left and right by iron chains. For some reason, Liu Zongmin suddenly remembered what happened in Taojiaying Village, when Nie Yang relied on the big knife formation, and the scalp of the peasant army swept was numb, and he was stunned to carry it in Taojiaying for three days. The strange scythe in front of me always has a sense of déjà vu.

Before he could give a loud reminder, the scythe had already moved, and because the officers and soldiers were standing on a high place, the scythe was put down and shook directly to the side and downward. Wherever the scythe passed, as long as it was scraped, it would either be killed or injured, and a peasant army brother could not dodge, and cut off a large piece of his entire chest, his chest was dripping with blood, and he screamed in pain.

After the speed of the scythe slowed down, more than a dozen officers and soldiers on the other side suddenly pulled the iron cable, and the scythe instantly sped up a little and continued to sweep forward. Along the way, the peasant army was killed and wounded, and countless dust was splashed.

For a time, the huge sickle swayed from side to side under the manipulation of the officers and soldiers, like a pendulum, but this pendulum was very fatal. A big man didn't believe in evil and thought he could dodge, but he was scraped with a sickle, and his whole body was cut in half. After being split in half, he didn't die immediately, the half of his body where his head was located was still twitching, his blood and internal organs were lying on the ground, and the people around him couldn't help but shrink back one by one.

Liu Zongmin sighed bitterly, who is this recruiting to provoke whom? Fighting Taojiaying met Nie Yang, a strange talent, beating Zhangjiaying, and met Zhao Shujiao, a tiger. At this point, Liu Zongmin had no choice but to leave more than 200 corpses behind and retreat in disgrace. When I returned to the official road, I saw that there were a few more people in the command office.

Liu Zongmin stopped suddenly, he didn't know what to tell Li Zicheng, but this time he really couldn't blame him Liu someone. After thinking about it, he still walked over with a hard head, "General, my subordinates are not fighting effectively, and I ask the general to punish me." It's just that...... That Zhao Shujiao is really too difficult to deal with, and Zhang Jiaying is not easy to fight ....."

Li Zicheng shook his hand and stopped Liu Zongmin's words, "Okay, you don't have to explain, what happened, Ben Jiang and the leaders all saw it, and I really don't blame you this time." But..... Obviously there is no good way to deal with the big scythe, and you are still urging the attack, this is your mistake, you should withdraw immediately. ”

Liu Zongmin felt bitter in his heart, and when he looked at Li Zicheng, his eyes were a little aggrieved. I want to retreat too, but aren't I afraid of being punished by you?
