To the west of Zhangjiabao, Wang Scorpion was in his main formation, and several leaders were riding horses and standing in one place, while Li Jiye and Liu Baichuan were standing on the other side, obviously distinct. Their group, Wang Scorpion's introduction, is a strong bandit from the north. When the bandits in Hutou Mountain heard that there were still strong reinforcements, the morale of the army became more and more high.

At this time, a group of bandits were cutting wood to make rushing cars and ladders, and the homeless people were eating and accumulating energy.

"Mr. Liu Deputy Qi, look at that Zhangjiabao, the defense is usually tight, only the city wall is high, there is no trench, there is no moat, there is no rejection of horses, traps, thistles, a horse Pingchuan, as soon as our army launches an offensive, it can go straight to the city, and the ants attach themselves to the city. You say that if this fort goes well, how long will it take to take it? Li Jiye asked.

"Lord Li, how long it will take to fight down, it depends on how well those bandits fight, think about that Zhangjiabao, Ding Zhuang is more than 300, and there is no shortage of cannons, firearms, and blades. On our side, there are only more than 100 people who can fight, I think, we need time. Liu Baichuan estimated.

"That's right, did you say that you have a few days to take it?" Li Jiye asked.

"I didn't say it. The lord only said that if the king scorpion could not be attacked for a long time, and asked us for help, we would dig a tunnel, blow up the city wall, and then let them fight. Liu Baichuan said.

"Well, I see." After speaking, Li Jiye stopped talking.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock......", almost at the same time, the defenders of Zhangjiabao and the siege army of Wang Scorpion both played three drums.

Wang Scorpion held a clairvoyant mirror, looked at the city from a distance, looked at it for a while, and then said: "Brothers, what a great effort is it that Zhangjiabao is here, Ding Zhuang has gone to the city." ”

After speaking, he handed the clairing mirror to the mountain collapser, and the mountain cannon took the clairglass, looked at it for a while, and then handed it to the smiling tiger, and everyone pretended to look at it.

"Big brother, I haven't fought such a tough battle for a long time, let me play it later." In the past, the mountain cannon was not collected by the border army at night, the skills were not bad, and the temper was very irritable, and it was not difficult to rob the house at ordinary times, he always felt that there was no place to display his own martial arts, and now he was very interested in playing a strong city.

"Okay, second brother, wait a while, the homeless people will go to fight for a while, consume Zhangjiabao's bow and arrow medicine, and wait for Zhangjiabao's Ding Zhuang, tired of fighting, you can go up again and take Zhangjiabao in one fell swoop."

"Okay," the mountain cannon rubbed his hands together.

"Second brother, it's not too early, let's beat him for a while. You lead people to press the formation behind, and when you encounter someone who escapes, you will cut it down. ”

"Okay," as soon as the voice of the mountain cannon fell, he beat his horse and came out of the crowd, leading his own troops and horses to drive the homeless people towards the city wall.

"Sir, the thief is coming." Lin Jiaotou said.

"Okay, when the thieves come near, give the order to fire the cannon and fire the arrows." Zhang Jinxian said.

"Get ready, everyone! When the enemy is near, he fires cannons and arrows. The heads of the villages that were supervising the battle in the various sections of the city wall shouted to each other.

All the strong men clutched the weapons in their hands tightly, and a small heart fluttered.

Zhang Jinxian originally looked at the opposite side with great interest, but when the thief got closer and closer, his heart was inevitably a little nervous, and when he thought about waiting for the enemy to get close before firing artillery and arrows, he suddenly thought of a very critical question, "Kuye, when I used to buy firearms, cannons, and bows and arrows, I only learned how to use them, and I didn't practice them again after learning, and I forgot the range." But that's how good. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Jinxian couldn't help but be a little nervous, when the homeless people were still 60 steps away from Zhangjiabao, he estimated it, and decided to fire a cannon first and put a few arrows to see.

"Give the order, fire the cannons, fire the arrows." Zhang Jinxian said.

"Yes, fire the cannon and the arrow." Sect Leader Lin gave the order loudly.

The archers on the head of the city pulled their bows to the full, and with a "buzzing" sound, the arrows were shot out, and more than 50 feathered arrows flew towards the homeless people in a parabola.

The cannons were so loud that the homeless people who walked down instinctively in the hope of avoiding the blows of the cannons, but they did, and by the way, they avoided their bows and arrows, but the bows and arrows were all fired in front of them, and the cannons were still fired in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Li Jiye was dumbfounded, Liu Baichuan shook his head secretly, and Wang Scorpion said to Sun Feihu beside him: "Looking at their condition, it's just like that, I knew that I would have brought you to fight them a long time ago." The smiling tiger nodded thoughtfully, indicating that Zhangjiabao's strong men's ability to fight was completely young. Child-level.

Zhang Jinxian, who was at the head of the city, couldn't help but blush when he saw his own results, "Damn, fighting is really not fun, I didn't really care about defense before, but today I made a fool of myself." ”

Zhang Jinxian thought like this, his heart was a little empty, he looked at it slightly, and found that no one was laughing at him, so he put his mind at ease, and said: "First put a few arrows, put a few cannons, deter the enemy, and show the majesty of our Zhangjiabao." He said to Lin Jiaotou.

"The old gentleman is right, let them know that we still have people who dare to fight in Zhangjiabao." Lin Jiaotou echoed.

"Well, take them as close as 50 paces, and then fire the cannon and the arrow." Zhang Jinxian said.

"Yes."

The outcasts under the city avoided the catastrophe and slowly pushed forward, and by the time they reached 50 paces, they had already reached the place where the feathered arrows were inserted, and they were already within the range of the enemy.

"Put." There was a shout from the city. Bows and arrows flew in, and cannons fired.

"Poof, poof." The sound of arrows entering the flesh was endless, and the homeless people who walked in the front fell down in an instant.

"Ah, my eyes." A homeless man hissed and howled as he held the shaft of the arrow in his hand, which was still trembling.

"My face. It's gone. A homeless man whose face had been knocked down by a cannon rolled around on the ground, howling.

The homeless people ate a round of bows and arrows, cannons, or stiffly walked up a few steps, but the bow and arrows came again, and there were casualties, and after walking a few steps, the bows and arrows arrived, and the homeless people had lost their courage and walked more slowly, and when they rubbed a few small steps, the cannons on the city sounded again, and the artillerymen among the artillerymen kept breaking their legs and feet.

"Guys run." I don't know who shouted, and the homeless people turned around and ran.

"Second brother, bring someone forward and cut down the escapees." When the king scorpion saw the homeless people running back, he asked people to intercept and kill them.

The landslide cannon was ordered, without saying a word, he led people to rush directly to the homeless, wantonly slashed and killed the people who ran in front, and the homeless people who were cut down had no choice but to turn back and attack Zhangjiabao again.

At this time, there were a few young and strong homeless people with sharp legs and feet, taking advantage of the opportunity of the mountain cannon to lead people around to intercept and kill, and ran to the northeast direction, and when the mountain cannon found that they had run 30 steps away, the mountain cannon looked at it, and did not bother to chase it, but said to the left and right: "Give me the bow." ”

He handed him the bow left and right, and he opened his bow and shot three arrows in a row, these three arrows were impartial, and they hit the backs of the three people who fled, and they immediately fell to the ground, and they saw that they could not live.

"If you don't want to run away, if you want to live, go and build that fortress, enter the fortress, and let you eat and drink spicy food." The mountain cannon said hatefully.

The homeless people looked at the three people who had fled, and then at the mountain cannon in front of them, and had no choice but to carry the ladder and push the cart forward, but this time they walked much faster.

The defenders of Zhangjiabao on the city wall were happy when they saw the enemy retreating at first, but before 10 minutes, the enemy army arrived again, and the speed increased significantly.

"Put."

Another bow and arrow, the cannon roared, the displaced team fell one, the other followed, because Zhangjiabao did not set up a moat, did not dig a trench, after paying the price of nearly 60 casualties, the team of displaced people approached the Zhangjiabao fort wall 30 steps.

At this time, the gunner, who had never made a move, was ordered to shoot.

"Bang, bang, bang....." Gunsmoke billowed out, blood flew in the ranks of the homeless, and rows of homeless people fell.

Perhaps it was because they couldn't stand the mass killing effect of the firecrackers, and when no one shouted, the homeless people spontaneously retreated. This time, Wang Scorpion did not let the mountain cannon intercept him, he asked the homeless people to come back and rest.

After a quarter of an hour, the drums sounded, the king scorpion shouted and fought, the exiles advanced again, and the defenders of the fort opened fire, arrows, and fire guns as usual.

When firing the cannon, one gunner may have been too nervous, but while the other gunner was still filling the gunner, he clicked the fuse, and with a bang, the cannon shot out, and immediately cut off half of the gunner's face, revealing the white bones of the gunner.

When the gunner was first bombed, his face was numb, and when he saw the flesh hanging on the side, he immediately felt a piercing pain, and he covered the ruined half of his face, and fell off the city wall at once, and fell to his death on the spot.

When the homeless people in the city saw that the enemy army had finally died, their morale was greatly boosted and they ran faster.

The homeless ran closer, and at this time there were only 4 tiger squat cannons left, and because of too many fires and dark red, if you want to fill gunpowder, I am afraid that it will catch fire, and the archers are because of too many arrows and their arms are sore, and they can't fight for the time being, only the firecrackers can continue to fight, but the firecrackers are too few after all to deal with these many homeless.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, after paying the price of 150 casualties, the displaced people finally reached the bottom of the city walls, and they began to try to build a ladder.

The defenders of the fort saw the opportunity and threw stones from the wall to smash them, and those who were hit all had their brains bursting, their bones were broken, and their tendons were broken, and they howled miserably. Some of the ladders were pushed up as soon as they were erected, and the people on the ladders fell, and the short ones who stood were gray, and then they climbed the ladders, and their legs broke when they stood tall, and there they did not stop wailing, and in a short time they were killed by the arrows of the defenders of the city.

The battle has only been fought for two hours now, and the cannon fodder troops of the Hutouzhai army have hit under the walls of Zhangjiabao Fort, and seeing the defense level of Zhangjiabao and other tofu brains, Li Jiye can't help but think of the well-defended Zhenbei Fort, trenches, pits, moats, and horses, and there is no shortage of everything.

Li Jiye thought to himself about Zhenbei Fort, where under the city of Zhangjiabao, the displaced people were continuously attacked by the condescending defenders of Zhangjiabao, and gradually felt overwhelmed, so they had to retreat again.

When he came back this time, Wang Scorpion did not kill him, but ordered his subordinates to distribute food to the displaced people and feed them.

"Seeing that Zhangjiabao is about to be breached, everyone will fight again, break Zhangjiabao, remember, eat and drink. This time we're going to fight after you. So this time you can't retreat, we are behind you, and if you retreat without permission, my men will kill you on the spot. Wang Scorpion said.

Those homeless people listened to Wang Scorpion's words, but they just ate with their heads bored, and did not say anything, Xu will die in the next charge, and they must be a full ghost before they die.

On the side of Hutou Village, he is sharpening his knife, but Zhangjiabao, which is a hundred steps away, is a gloomy fog.

"Sect Leader Lin, what about our casualties?" Zhang Jinxian asked.

"According to the reports of the head of the village, we have killed a gunner, and it was killed by mistake, and there are no other casualties, but half of our bows and arrows are consumed, and there are still 4 percent of the gunpowder left, and there are still 6 percent of the gunpowder of the gunpowder of the gun, and the archers are too tired, if they fight again later, I am afraid that they will not be able to fire a few bows." Lin Jiaotou said.

"If reinforcements don't arrive, I don't know how long we can hold out?" Zhang Jinxian looked in the direction of Ansai County and said worriedly.
