Chapter Eighty-Six: The Army and the People Work Together to Fight the Recalcitrant Bandits

County Magistrate Liu hurriedly took the binoculars and glanced out of the city.

The voice shouted in some surprise: "It's a horse thief!" Don't panic, get ready to fight! ”

Then, Regiment Commander You also shouted to the left and right: "Give Lao Tzu a spiritual point, put it close and aim and then hold the fire."

Lao Tzu's bullets are all bought with money. ”

At this time, in the field three hundred meters away from the city, something that squirmed like a flock of sheep appeared densely.

Shoko borrowed the binoculars and took a closer look.

It turned out that the horse thieves were all wearing leather jackets, with white liners facing outward, and quietly touched them by the moonlight.

At about 200 meters, the wriggling shadows fell silent.

Then, several bundles of wool slowly rolled forward.

The thing, about a hundred and fifty meters from the city, stopped, and quickly piled up in three piles.

At this moment, the shadow behind suddenly stood up.

Suddenly, it rushed forward like a tidal wave. At the same time, there was an earth-shattering shouting of killing.

Commander You was about to give the order to open fire, when he saw three tongues of fire suddenly erupt from three bundles of wool.

In an instant, the bullet rolled over like a wasp.

Immediately a few of the people of the city fell. The rest of the people, crouched under the battlements, did not dare to raise their heads at all.

In the blink of an eye, the shouts of killing have approached the moat.

The horse army tied a lot, which could accommodate five or six people, and at the same time climbed the big ladder of the city.

They first threw the ladder up to the moat, crossed the river on the ladder, and immediately hid at the base of the wall, and did not move.

After a group of people crossed the river, they immediately pulled up the ladder and put it on the city wall.

Immediately after, a group of people bit the big knives in their mouths, followed the ladder, and climbed up lifelessly.

County Magistrate Liu is not afraid of danger. Immediately commanded, the mountain-splitting cannon erected on the convex piers of the city wall, and fired along the root of the wall.

Shoko also commanded the bombardier to drop the bomb at the same time.

For a moment, the mountain splitting cannon,*, rang out.

Immediately, a terrible howl filled the sky above the small town.

After a while, Xiangzi saw that there was no sound in the city, so he waved his hand to stop throwing bombs, and the sound of artillery over there was quiet.

Strangely, the machine guns in the wool pile were also dumb.

Shoko cautiously stuck out her head and glanced down at the castle.

I saw that on both sides of the moat, there were white flowers.

Whether they are dead or alive, they are clinging to the ground and are motionless.

At this time, the defenders of the city also had the courage to try to shoot at the white shadow.

It doesn't matter if it's dead or alive, shoot when you see it.

For a while, the horse thief lying on the ground began to riot.

Just as the defenders were scrambling to shoot, the three machine guns behind the wool bundles rang out again.

For a while, the soldiers and civilians defending the city were pressed and couldn't raise their heads.

County Magistrate Liu anxiously shouted at Regiment Commander You: "You can't fight like this!" Call a few Orions, get rid of the machine guns first! ”

Captain You, immediately called a few Orions.

County Magistrate Liu commanded people to tie up three bunkers with wool on the city wall.

He said to Orion: "Hide your mind, get rid of the machine gun, and I will reward you." ”

So, the Orion went into cover and fired at the machine gun with precision.

After a while, the sound of machine guns died down.

After a while, he was completely dumb.

At this time, Regiment Commander You organized soldiers again and shot at the city.

The white shadow under the city gradually retreated.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and County Magistrate Liu immediately called people and carried the injured people to the county government for unified treatment.

Those who had died in battle were concentrated in the small temples in the city.

And said to Zhang Guangqian: "Don't notify your family members first, so as not to affect the morale of the army." ”

As he spoke, he ran to Commander You again, and said eagerly: "Commander You, how is the ammunition consumption?" ”

Regiment Commander You said with a dejected face: "In this battle, I will lose a lot of ammunition, and if I don't think of a way, I will wait for the bayonet tomorrow." ”

County Magistrate Liu nodded with a heavy heart.

Stretched out his hand and patted Captain You on the shoulder, saying, "There will be a way, there will be a way." ”

Just when County Magistrate Liu was so helpless that he was helpless, in the direction of the north gate, there was a sudden gunshot, and the shouts shook the sky.

County Magistrate Liu turned around and prepared to go down the wall to the north gate.

was stopped by Xiangzi and said, "You just stay here and discuss the next steps with Commander You." I'll go to the north gate to have a look. ”

So saying, he ran down the city wall, and Pegasus went to the north gate.

Approaching the north gate, the air was filled with the sound of gunfire, *, shouts of killing, and the howls of the wounded.

Like a demonic haze, half of the town was filled.

Xiangzi abandoned his horse and rushed to the city wall, and saw that there were more than a dozen horse bandits, who had already slashed wildly on the city.

The officers and soldiers defending the city, fearing that they would hurt their own people, could not shoot for a while, and raised their guns and retreated.

Some of them were timid, so they simply carried their guns and planned to slip away.

Seeing this, Xiangzi shouted: "Don't panic, everyone! ”

Then he drew a gun in his left hand, picked up a machete in his right hand, and rolled into the crowd like a whirlwind.

The gun hit the opponent's chest and back, and the right hand went all the way to the Ma family knife, slashing over like a storm.

More than a dozen horse bandits fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The retreating soldiers and civilians saw that they had come to help.

When he turned around, he threw a few of the horse bandits who had not lost their breath, either with pickaxes or bayonets, and threw them off the city wall.

Under the city wall, the mountain splitting cannon that was supported by * and then rushed to support gradually lost its voice after a burst of bombardment.

Shoko climbed to the battlement of the wall and took a look, and the living horse bandits had retreated over the moat and gradually disappeared. The city walls and the corpses of many horse bandits were left behind.

Xiangzi was just about to go down the wall and report the situation to County Magistrate Liu.

saw County Magistrate Liu and Regiment Commander You waving at him on horseback.

So, he and the battalion commander Wang who was in charge of the north gate went down the wall together.

Without waiting for Xiangzi to speak, Battalion Commander Wang took a breath and reported the battle situation here.

In particular, the scene of Xiangzi making a move in danger and fighting horse bandits was vividly described.

At the end, he said: "The soldiers and civilians in the city can convince him, and in private, they all call him the Flying Dragon Hero." ”

Xiangzi smiled indifferently, pointed at Company Commander Wang and said, "Foolish and boastful, is it as evil as you say?" ”

Company Commander Wang was anxious for a while, blushing and said, "The regiment commander knows us, and we don't fart." ”

Commander You smiled approvingly and said, "My gun is a gift to the right person." ”

County Magistrate Liu smiled with satisfaction, and Chong Xiangzi said: "I'm afraid the horse bandits will have to settle down for a while, toss and grin all night, and hurry up and eat something."

We are in Xiaomiaozi, set up a temporary headquarters, where to go together. ”

In the front hall of the small temple, everyone ate and talked about the next step in defending the city.

The most talked about is the topic of insufficient ammunition.

Seeing everyone, I can't pay any attention to it for a while.

Xiangzi put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Judging from the number of roads the horse bandits attacked the city in the morning, their ammunition will not be sufficient.

In addition to the machine gun covering the siege, let go of the cold gun for a while. I didn't dare to ram the bullet in a solid way.

Besides, most of the people who besieged the city used broadswords, and only a few used guns, and they still climbed the city on their backs.

So, we don't have to put guns indiscriminately, as long as they can't get up the walls, they can't take us. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded thoughtfully.

County Magistrate Liu pondered for a while and said, "The problem is that there are not many shells and * left, and if the horse bandits continue to attack the city, they will not be able to fight." ”

Xiangzi smiled at County Magistrate Liu and said, "Bullets can be distributed to people with good marksmanship for accurate shooting." In other words, it is necessary to make sure that there are no missed shots.

As long as the machine gun is suppressed, it can be ensured that the horse thieves cannot get into the city.

There are not enough shells, and we can think of other ways.

I remember that the ancients used boiling hot oil to splash the people who climbed the city walls.

We can boil water in a few cauldrons in the city.

As long as the horse bandit reaches the root of the wall, we will pour boiling water, even if it can't be scalded, he won't dare to lean against the wall easily. ”

County Magistrate Liu paused slightly, and suddenly, slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "This method works!" Scald his shit! ”

Then, he turned to Zhang Guangqian and said, "Come and find the slaughterhouse in the city, put the big iron pot used to scald the pig on the wall, and let people set up the pot to boil water." ”

Then, he said to the head of the regiment: "We don't necessarily have to kill many people to defend the city.

As long as the city can't be broken, the horse bandits will stare at us. ”

Regiment Commander You also nodded and praised: "If you follow this style of fighting, you will use less bullets and more bullets, as long as you press the machine gun, you can use stones to roll wood and smash him." ”

Shoko took a nap in the afternoon and hurried up to the city wall.

These days, in addition to assisting County Magistrate Liu to guard the city, he also has to be responsible for the security of County Magistrate Liu together with Liu Chao and Liu Neng.
