Chapter 92: Two Retired Liao Soldiers 2
The outside of the stockade was so lively, and the people in the stockade had already been awakened. As for the soldiers and craftsmen of the Guardian Society, they came faster than the people in the stockade. At this time, Guo Xingzu was inside the wall, and other craftsmen repaired the shields that had been burned by rockets, so that they could replace those that could not be used. Hearing others say that Zhou Nan called him, he ran up to the wall, found Zhou Nan, and asked Zhou Nan: "What is the matter with the owner of the village looking for a villain?" Zhou Nan saw that it was Guo Xingzu, so he asked urgently: "A few days ago, did you have any gunpowder that I wanted you to make?" Guo Xingzu saw that he was asking for gunpowder, so he replied: "Go back to the master of Dazhai, there is no more; There are only some ingredients left that have been used before, about seven or eight taels. Zhou Nan couldn't take care of it, and instructed Guo Xingzu: "Hurry up and match!" Find a porcelain vase, according to what I did last time, hurry up and load it, get it ready! Just go! Guo Xingzu hurriedly ran down to his powder room to do it.
At this time, the offensive of the Liao people outside began to slow down, and taking advantage of this gap, Gao Yuan shouted outside: "The general outside, but there is a misunderstanding?" My village is full of good people for several generations, not thieves who occupy the mountains and are kings. ”
Someone among the Liao people outside the walled wall shouted in Chinese: "Don't quibble, killing my soldiers and accommodating the military horses of the Southern Dynasty is already a capital crime, and it is a great crime to oppose the officials and soldiers, and regard it as a rebellion." ”
The Liao soldiers who followed all shouted loudly: "Hand over the Song army!" Hand over the Song Army! ”
Gao Yuan shouted loudly: "I really didn't tolerate the Song people, let alone dare to fight against the official army!" I hope that the general will be clear. ”
When Xiao Puda heard Gao Yuan say this, he exclaimed impatiently: "In this case, I will level your cottage!" He turned his head and shouted to the Liao soldiers: "All the sons, attack the village, and rob the rich women!" ”
One by one, the Liao cavalry raised their swords and shouted at the whistlers. With the waving of the command flag at the front, the more than 1,000 people who had attacked the cottage just now retreated, and the other half of the people who were behind the formation just now began to shoot arrows at the wall. In fact, there is no better way for the Liao army, the wall is built of stones, it is three zhang high, not to mention that there is a moat with a very rapid flow outside the wall, if you want to enter the wall, you must first consume the people inside the wall, otherwise, it is to rush to the bottom of the wall, and it is also a live target above.
For a while, a rain of firelight and arrows that was even more rapid than just now shot towards the wall, denser and more urgent. The thick wooden shield between the battlements of the wall was immediately filled with rockets, and the flame from the grease burning on the rockets quickly dried the water on the thick wooden shield, and the shield soon began to smoke.
"Quick! Change the shield! The sound of people changing shields behind the shields on the walled wall came and went, the craftsmen who repaired the shields in the anxious walled walls were in a hurry, the mountain people carried the shields that had just been repaired and ran to the wall, carried them to the battlements, and the soldiers of the Hujia Society took back the shields that were still burning, threw them on the wall, and took the shields handed by the mountain people, and quickly blocked the battlements. It's just that at this speed, in the interval of changing shields, several people were injured and killed by Liao soldiers' arrows.
The wall of the wall sounded a rapid drum, outside the wall of the Liao cavalry is shooting arrows did not understand what it means, is suspicious, a red light above the head lit up, followed by a rain of arrows, squatting or standing in front, the Liao officers and soldiers who are shooting arrows have been hit by arrows, fall off the horse. The Liao people who were not shot were so panicked that they all dismounted and dodged. There are more rockets wrapped in oilcloth to shoot the Liao war horse, the war horse is frightened, struggling to raise its hooves, kicking and jumping, the surrounding Liao soldiers are in turmoil, quickly dodge, the horse rider tried his best to appease the frightened war horse. It turned out that the Eagle Guards arranged by Zhou Nan heard the sound of drums, stood on the lonely mountain, condescendingly, attacked the Liao cavalry with rockets, and messed up the Liao people's positions.
Xiao Puda, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, had also discovered that the lonely mountain and the walled wall were actually connected, and he shouted urgently, and the heralds around him blew the horn, and the half of the Liao soldiers resting behind the formation moved to the southeast, and the Liao soldiers who left here were divided into two formations that were far apart.
The Liao cavalry that left dismounted their horses, and the Liao soldiers standing in front abandoned their horses, climbed up with their hands and feet, and prepared to attack and kill the guards. Just climbed a few steps, a few boulders rolled down from the mountain, frightened these Liao soldiers who climbed the mountain hurriedly dodged, a few boulders rolled down the mountain, knocked down a few horses, and injured several Liao soldiers, and the Liao army was in a hurry to stabilize the position.
Xiao Puda felt a headache at this time, he led three thousand warriors, all of whom could break into the territory of the Southern Dynasty and fight the grass valley as if they were in a no-man's land, running a few back and forth, and no one dared to stop them. Now on his own turf, he can't help this little cottage for a while. He had to order the two teams of Liao soldiers to continue to storm the walled wall and the top of Gushan Mountain with rockets, and he made up his mind that he would fight to kill more of his subordinates and take down this cottage, otherwise his name Xiao Puda would become a joke in Yanjing City tomorrow.
There was no better way for both sides, the Liao army outside the wall attacked the people on the wall with rockets, and the guards on the wall also fought back at the Liao soldiers through the gap in their shields; The Liao soldiers under the lonely mountain also launched rockets to the top of the lonely mountain, trying to burn back the guards, and the eagle guards on the lonely mountain attacked the Liao army below with rockets, just like that, the two sides attacked each other like this, stuck together, although no one could have the upper hand for a while, but after all, there were many Liao soldiers, looking down from the wall, the black pressure pressed a piece, all of them were Liao soldiers, and they were all Liao soldiers. No matter how good the archery skills of the soldiers of the Hujia Society are, if the two sides are injured by each other, they can't survive the Liao officers and soldiers.
Zhou Nanzheng was anxious when he heard someone behind him calling him: "Master of the village!" I am back. Zhou Nan turned his head to look and saw Guo Xingzu running up with a black round-bellied porcelain bottle in his hand. Zhou Nan hurriedly took it, and the mouth of the bottle had been corked with a wooden cork, only a hole in the middle of the cork passed through a lead, which was more than three inches long. I saw that the belly of this porcelain bottle was only slightly bigger than a fist, and I was a little regretful, if only there was the size of a watermelon, I lit it and threw it out, and the outside would be clean immediately, hehe. Be small, be small.
He pointed to the Liao army on the other side of the moat and asked Guo Xingzu: "Look at the official army, next to the order flag, the pile with the most people, where you might throw it?" Guo Xingzu looked at the arrow stack, nodded and said, "The little one can!" ”
Zhou Nan said: "That's good. I wanted to cast it myself, but I don't know how fast or slow the fuse is, I'll light the fire, do you estimate that after this thing is thrown into the official army, it just explodes, are you sure? Guo Xingzu nodded affirmatively.
Zhou Nan took out a fire fold and said, "Ready to vote!" Guo Xingzu held the porcelain vase tightly in his right hand, turned his back to the Liao army outside the wall, and bowed slightly. Zhou Nan lit the fuse with a fire fold, Guo Xingzu stared at the fuse nervously, and when he was about an inch long, he suddenly twisted his waist, drove his right arm, and threw the black porcelain bottle into the Liao soldier pile with his right hand.
