Chapter 54: Preparing for a General Attack

Due to the close proximity, the pro-soldiers knocked down seven people with a round of muskets, three of whom died instantly, and the other four were able to roll on the ground.

Xu Da Xu Er, in accordance with the regulations formulated by Xu Shiyang, without the cover of melee soldiers, immediately loaded the muskets with spearheads after a round of shooting, and stabbed the bandits who were screaming and rolling.

"Didn't you say kill 5? That's all 7 kills. Zhang Jian was still muttering there, but his voice was very small, except for Xu Shibai and Zhang Qiang, who were standing beside him, no one else heard it.

"Third brother, is that a weapon you built?" Xu Mujiang pointed at Xu Da and asked Xu Shiyang.

"Yes, uncle, it was made by my nephew." Xu Shiyang happily admitted that they would know sooner or later anyway, and they would not force it.

"Well, that's good."

Sure enough, the head of the family asked, and then said no more, as if the question just now was just curiosity.

This is not difficult to understand, although they are all a family, but everyone usually lives separately, how can there be a reason to take away the nephew's property in the words of an uncle?

As long as you confirm that the novel weapon is indeed from Xu Shiyang, whoever wants it next, just go to him to discuss.

This is good for Xu Shiyang, but it proves that today's Xu Jiajun is not a qualified army.

"Let the second group get on!"

The literati were ruthless, more than the bandits, and the surrendered bandits were defeated in one attack, and more than half of the direct casualties were killed and injured (7 of them were Xu Shiyang's results).

But Xu Mujiang was unmoved, and waved his hand directly, and someone immediately stepped forward and forced the other half to surrender to the old bandit and continue to attack.

The fate of this group of people will naturally not be better than Wang Ying's group, or even worse.

After entering the attack range of the wall, they were naturally covered by arrows, and several bandits could not bear it and shouted at the cottage to surrender, but the defenders were unmoved and seriously attacked every enemy who was exposed.

Without Wang Ying's command, the second group of surrendered old bandits were defeated and retreated faster than the last time, this time it was Xu Shisong's people who stepped forward and cut down 5 of the fastest soldiers who retreated in a row, which allowed the rest of the people to retreat to the back to rest.

"Father, do you want them to continue rushing?" Xu Shisong asked softly beside Xu Mujiang.

The head of the family shook his head slightly: "They are useless, wait for the news from the mountain." ”

Xu Muhe had already led part of the Xu family army to cross the peak of Fulai Peak from the direction of Liu Gao's cottage, and attacked the Luodao people's cottage from the north, and the 150 surrendered old bandits of Yanshun were leading the way, and the defense there was not as tight as in the south, so it should be able to achieve some results.

In the afternoon, the north sent people to send back the news, and in the attack there, Yan Shun dug a big hole in the north wall at the cost of two casualties among his subordinates, but then they were repelled by the counterattack led by Luo Daoren himself, and even he rushed out of the village to chase and kill for a while.

Someone surrendered to the Luo Dao people, but the bandit leader was red-eyed and did not surrender at all, and all those who surrendered were escorted to the wall and beheaded in front of the Xu family, and their heads were hung on the flagpole of the big flag for Tianxingdao.

In this round, Yan Shun's people suffered nearly 100 casualties, but he was lucky that he was only stabbed by Luo Daoren, and the injury was not deep.

is much stronger than Wang Ying, who lost his life.

After receiving the report, Xu Mujiang nodded with satisfaction, the previous attacks can be said to have failed, but the losses were all from the floating mountains, and the Xu family itself was not damaged.

Although the results of the battle are not worth mentioning, they finally consume some of the strength and arrows of the defenders, which is acceptable. What's more, after such a round, he doesn't have to worry about too many old bandits who surrendered at home, and then gather a "bandit faction".

It's just, what's next?

Do you want to use the lives of the Xu family to fill those puddles?

"Let's focus on the north side." Luan Tingyu suggested: "The second master has already dug up the wall once, and if you work harder, it should be possible." ”

Xu Mujiang nodded, the defense over there is indeed much worse than here, Yan Shun's 150 old bandits can force Luo Dao people to fight with knives, if the troops are sufficient, there is a great chance, and they should indeed be increased.

"Lord Luanbao, you and Lord Sunbao will take their respective subordinates and go around the mountain to support."

"Yes!"

"Third brother." Xu Mujiang turned his head to Xu Muhai and said, "You and Zhang Ye (6 tun) and Huineng (10 tun) also go, and bring Zhang Jian (5 tun) and Zhang Qiang (7 tun) together." ”

The head of the family sent 7 dock forts in one go, plus Xu Muhe and Dong Chao (14 tun), who were originally in the north, and the strength was already more than half of the entire Xu family army, preparing to focus on attacking the north wall of the Luo Daoren cottage.

"We can't be idle here, the dock forts are attacking in turn, drawing the attention of the bandits." Xu Mujiang pulled out his long sword and said loudly to the people who remained: "Starting from my 1st Tun, I retreated and beheaded without Ming Jin, and my family drove out of the dock fort!" ”

Xu Shisong, Xu Shibai, Wang Yong and the other dock castle lords left behind bowed down and replied: "Obey!" ”

Only Xu Shiyang said indifferently: "I'll go first." ”

How can you say that they are all friendly forces, if you fight a bandit with heavy casualties, how can you dare to face the Tartars in the future?

Xu Shiyang hopes to win all the games this time at a small cost to boost the confidence of these people.

Of course, he also needs an opportunity to promote the combat effectiveness of his subordinates.

"I said before the war, I came to deal with the wall of the Luo Dao people, the big husband said that it is difficult to chase the horse, I will go first, you prepare melee soldiers, once the wall is broken, so as to immediately rush in and break the wall."

Xu Shiyang's words were understated, as if the defense system that Luo Dao people had carefully prepared for almost ten years was just a joke.

This attitude made Xu Mujiang and the others also have an inexplicable self-confidence, and they remembered that in the rumors of surrendering to the bandits, Liu Gao, the second leader of Fulai Mountain, was killed by the thunder. Perhaps, Xu Shiyang really has a way to easily dig up the wall?

"Good! It is worthy of being the young tiger of my Xu family! Xu Mujiang praised loudly: "Since the third brother took the initiative to ask for help, then you will go up first in the fifteenth tun, break the stockade, and you can pick all the seizures first!" ”

"Uncle Xie!"

Xu Shiyang clasped his fists and saluted, and then left the viewing platform without looking back and came to his army.

"It's our turn." Xu Shiyang said to Gongsun Sheng: "Push the shield cart up!" ”

The structure of Xu Shiyang's shield cart is very simple, in fact, it is to support a side of the trolley with an anti-arrow plank similar to a hanging household, the material is similar to the shield in the hands of the soldiers, and it can't prevent the real war bow and heavy arrows at all, but it is enough to face the bandits' shoddy bow and arrows.

Moreover, this shield cart has a simple structure and is very lightweight, so two people can push it quickly, and can follow the front-line soldiers to move, providing them with effective protection.

"Solve the treasures, prepare to shoot arrows, and when the wall is blown up, you are also responsible for preventing the bandits from counterattacking."

Xu Shiyang whispered to the main officers of the 15th Tun:

"Remember, don't retreat, hold on for a quarter of an hour, and the reinforcements behind will be able to catch up, and then we will win!"
