Chapter 35 This is a war, can you be serious?
Cutting wood to make shields, there are not many people in Huangzhu Mountain, and it will not be finished for a while, and it will take more than half a day no matter how little.
Secondly, when the people of Huangzhushan arrived at the foot of Shuilongzhai Mountain, it was already early afternoon, so it was unlikely that they would attack directly in the afternoon, so there must be a buffer time.
No, then the two sides began to stare at each other four or five hundred meters apart, and at night, both sides were also brightly lit, although most of them slept in clothes, but each other would also arrange people to keep vigil to prevent each other from playing the trick of night attack.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Li Xuan and Fang Dongquan and Liu Bagou made a pre-war mobilization speech in front of more than 100 bandits.
Liu Bagou emphasized the righteousness of the Tang Dynasty's attack on Shuilongzhai, saying that this battle was an important battle for the Tang Dynasty's division to dominate Kyushu, liberate hundreds of people in China, and bring a better life to the people of the world.
He also reiterated that Emperor Li Xuan is the only holy monarch in the past thousand years, and this attack on Shuilongzhai is an act of justice by the king, and it is to bestow His Majesty on the people of Shuilongzhai and lead them to create a beautiful new life.
Then Fang Dongquan spoke on behalf of the military officers and soldiers, saying that the five hundred soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty, the left and right armies of the Central and Central Empires unswervingly supported Li Xuan, and insisted on two uniques: Li Xuan was the only leader of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was the only legitimate imperial court in Kyushu. Under the leadership of the resolute Li Xuan, the Tang Heavenly Soldiers swept away all obstacles and contributed to the great cause of the Tang Dynasty to liberate all mankind.
Finally, Li Xuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, took the stage to deliver an important speech, in which he made important spiritual instructions: the cause of human liberation has reached the most critical juncture, and I hope that the subjects of the Tang Dynasty will rise to the occasion, overcome all difficulties, and plant the banner of the Tang Dynasty on every mountain.
After the pre-war mobilization was completed, the more than 100 well-fed bandits began to slowly advance with their weapons on their shoulders.
The first battle of the Tang Dynasty to liberate mankind around the world, a war of great significance in the cause of human liberation is about to officially break out!
The more than a dozen stout Huangzhushan bandits who had been selected yesterday were already dragging a huge wooden shield that was a full man tall and slowly stepped forward.
Among them, Butcher Chen, who was in charge of leading the team to attack, shouted loudly while holding his pig-killing knife aloof: "Wait for the big guys to follow me, as long as they can rush up and burn down their gates, and when they enter the Water Dragon Village, each of our forward brothers can choose two women first, and the food and silver will be five times more than those soft eggs in the back." ”
"Whether there is a woman to warm the bed in the future, whether there is food to eat, whether you can feed the family, it depends on today"
Butcher Chen tried his best to boost morale in a provocative tone, but the bandits who had chosen the strikers had apparently heard this yesterday.
And they all joined voluntarily, in order to be these rewards, so in fact, there is no need for Butcher Chen to say this, they all know very well that if they win this battle, the benefits will be huge.
As for the danger, it can't be said that there is none, but it should not be great.
Although the shield in their hands is not a formal shield, it is strictly a thick plank, and it is a simple plank made in a hurry, but the defense power that should be there is still there, and the disadvantage is that it is too heavy, if they keep holding the huge shield forward, even if they are strong and strong, they will not last long.
In addition, these shields can block arrows, but they cannot stop rocks and giant trees thrown down by people's homes.
So there is still a danger!
However, they don't have to fight hard, as long as they can rush up and throw out the oil and torches to cause a fire, then it is considered a victory.
Of course, it would be better if we could attract the people of Shuilongzhai to take the initiative to come out to fight.
At that time, Huang Zhushan will be able to rely on the advantage of numbers and the advantage of the guards to give the other party a ruthless blow.
The forward led by Butcher Chen had already stepped forward slowly, while Li Xuan, Liu Bagou and others in the back had climbed a temporary wooden platform several meters high, watching the offensive and defensive battle of hundreds of meters.
Huang Zhushan's attack can be regarded as the whole army, the vanguard is more than a dozen bandits personally led by Butcher Chen, they are responsible for setting fire, and at the same time, in their rear, is the main force, the front row is more than a dozen Huang Zhushan's only archers, they will provide long-range fire cover for Butcher Chen.
As for more ordinary bandits, they are used as the main force, on the one hand, to guard against the main force of the Water Dragon Village, and on the other hand, they are also ready to rush forward at any time.
On the side, there were more than twenty soldiers of the Guards.
Although Li Xuan had great expectations for the soldiers of the Guards, this was the first time that the Guards had entered the battlefield, so it was naturally impossible to directly put them at the forefront, but chose to use them cautiously, serving as a strategic reserve at the same time, but also as the location of the Chinese army, to prevent anyone from popping up behind the flanks.
With a distance of hundreds of meters, if they were just walking normally, Butcher Chen would not have been able to reach it in a few minutes, but this short circuit, Butcher Chen and they walked for a quarter of an hour.
This is because the shield is a bit heavy, and if you go too fast, it is easy to consume too much physical strength, so most of the time on the march, they stop and go, walk for a while and rest for a while, to ensure that the physical strength is not too much.
And when they reached a distance of about fifty or sixty meters, they gradually accelerated their pace, so at this time, there were already people in Shuilong Village who bent their bows and arrows and shot arrows at them.
Holding the plank in front of him, even if he was occasionally shot by an arrow, it was only nailed to the plank, and there was no way to penetrate the plank and kill the people behind him.
It didn't take long for the Chen butchers, who had sped up their speed, to approach Zhai Qiang with bows and arrows, and then poured the fire oil they carried on the wall, and then threw out the torches.
However, although the people of Shuilongzhai did not dare to take the initiative to come out to fight, they obviously did not watch their walls being burned down, and began to extinguish the fire with water, sand and gravel.
For a time, the place where the walled gate was full of momentum, thick smoke billowed out, shouts continued, and after two quarters of an hour of 'fierce fighting' between the two sides, there was no casualty.
The bows and arrows shot by the archers on both sides didn't know where they flew, and there was no hand-to-hand combat, but you set fire to me and I had a lot of fun.
And this fire is just like playing a mouse game machine, the people of Huangzhushan just set fire at this end, the people of Shuilongzhai ran over to extinguish the fire, and then the people of Huangzhushan ran to the other end to set fire, and the people of Shuilongzhai also ran over to extinguish the fire again, and from time to time there were people on both sides who laughed loudly.
You let it go, I will destroy it, you let it go, I will destroy it again, you still let it go, I will destroy it...... If you have a dubbed sound effect, it's a rat-and-mouse game console!
Li Xuan, who was behind, looked at the battle between the two sides in front of him, but his thick eyebrows were furrowed very tightly, and after a long time, Li Xuan muttered to himself in a helpless and melancholy voice: "This is a war, can you be more serious, serious, there are so many people watching behind!" Nima, still laughing, laughing fart! ”
Liu Bagou on the side didn't know why Li Xuan was dissatisfied, because he couldn't help but cover his forehead when he looked at the battle in front of him.
This battle is really unprofessional!
