Chapter 289: Chaotic Attack and Defense
Hua Tian was urged by a few cronies, but he still hesitated, tilted his head and said: "But that damn Wu Tao can say that Li Jiaying and Zuojin Township have a mutual protection agreement, in case we are attacking the city, but they are killing from behind, how can it be good?" "It's not an idiot to call Hua Tian, thinking that what Wu Tao said is also true, he looked forward and backward for a while.
The cronies were in a hurry, it was okay not to mention Wu Tao, but this mention was even more resentful in his heart, if Wu Tao's suggestion was adopted this time, it would prove that Wu Tao was much stronger than himself, and it would be extremely difficult to suppress Wu Tao next time, and he couldn't let Huatian listen to Wu Tao's words.
"Don't be fooled by that Wu Tao puppeteer, in today's years, everyone is sweeping the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of his house, those farmers are living a good life, which one is willing to work hard for the neighbors? Definitely not coming. Look at the Li Jiazhuang again, and there is no fireworks alarm, and when we take it, he will set off fireworks but it will be too late, as the so-called soldiers are fast, so the big boss should immediately decide not to leave a chance for the Li family's old wealth to move to the rescue. ”
People are like this, often with their own hearts to save others, but they don't know that it is the joint insurance of each family is also out of the same hatred of the enemy, and they are afraid that they will have something to do in the future without the help of others, so they are very brave.
"Well, let me think again." Called Hua Tian to hesitate on the horse.
Those cronies couldn't help but be anxious, in fact, if you call Hua Tian, you don't want to think that things are already like this, where is your final say, in fact, several Zhuangzi are staring at your head called Hua Tian to ask for credit. Therefore, on the battlefield, you should move forward bravely, not half a step back, once the commander is decided, he should only think about what method to win, but he is not hesitant to think about whether to fight or not, so this is called Hua Tian is not a general at all.
Look at the meaning of the big boss who is timid to stop, where is there no hurry to scratch his ears and cheeks one by one? Just when he was helpless, suddenly a cronie of the spirit walked up to the big boss and whispered: "The big boss, there is nothing to think about until now, only to attack." If you don't break through the Li family camp, you will go back empty-handed, and you won't let Wu Tao laugh to death? At that time, the bird didn't even think of you as a big boss. ”
When Hua Tian heard Wu Tao mention, he rushed to the top of his head angrily, thinking about how he slipped back and was laughed at by Wu Tao, so how could he get it? Gritted his teeth, afraid of his thighs.
"Okay, tell the little ones. Prepare for the siege. ”
Hua Tian made a decision, and the entire team called Hua Tian began to operate slowly, and the real siege began.
As the big and small leaders shouted and drove the old and weak women and children who followed behind, let them carry up a few simple wooden ladders, take sticks, and slowly walk towards the fence in the low sobs of the strong minions behind them.
These old and weak who are destined to be consumables, there is no shouting, no crying, only numbness and confusion about life and death in their eyes.
This kind of thing has become a pattern in the major copycat poles.
Every time the siege of the city wall was attacked, the old and weak women and children took the lead, firstly, in order to consume the equipment of the enemy's garrison, and secondly, to reduce the idlers eating in the cottage. Third, it can also make young and strong minions have a kind of revenge after seeing their relatives besiege the city and die.
The ones who went up this time were the ones who were lucky to survive last time or more, and this time they were lucky enough to survive, but they were just waiting for the next death.
They originally had no way to live in this cannibalistic world, and they looked down on life and death, living was a kind of tribulation, and dying could be a kind of relief.
People are not afraid of dying, there is nothing lacking in this world, there is no shortage of such displaced people, just coerce.
Zhuang Ding on the wall widened his eyes, looking at the tide of people who were silently approaching, with a death-like breath oppressing people who couldn't breathe, the swords, guns, bows and arrows in his hands couldn't help but tremble, and a nameless fear climbed from his heart, biting his heart and lungs, squeezing everything around him.
There was no one shouting at all on the battlefield, only the terrifying monotonous footsteps of Sasha with death slowly pressed over little by little.
Close, close.
Suddenly, I don't know which Zhuang Ding on the wall couldn't stand the pressure of this heart-biting death, shouted, and shot the arrow in his hand at the crowd aimlessly.
Immediately, the heavens and the earth slammed, and all the people on the wall shouted and screamed, pushing, and throwing out the things in their hands as hard as they could, as if they wanted to throw out the fear in their hearts.
So the feather arrows, the oil bottles, the rolling wood and stones fell like rain, and there was a miserable wail under the wall, and Zhuang Ding on the wall was even more nervous to throw things out, and he didn't even have the courage to look at it, in fact, the real siege people were still some distance away from the wall, but the feather arrows that were constantly shot caused certain casualties, and those fire oil and rolling wood were all in vain.
Due to the lack of necessary protection and the dense crowd of displaced people, even due to the indiscriminate throwing of Zhuang Ding in a nervous situation, dozens of casualties were caused. And those other things such as rolling wood and stones have been done in vain. After a while, the sound of gongs came from behind the gourd pole of the siege, and the displaced people under the wall turned around and ran back, leaving behind dozens of corpses, as well as the wounded who were not dead struggling in a pool of blood, helplessly stretching out their arms in the hope that their companions would stop and take them back with them, but no one paid attention, only the wounded people watched their dirty feet run past them, and slowly shed the last drop of blood in the wailing.
How cruel is the battlefield, but how helpless is it?
The attack called Hua Tian began like a black cloud overhead, and in the blink of an eye, it was stormy, but immediately the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed.
At this time, the leader of the wall saw that the thieves had dispersed, and hurriedly shouted loudly to stop Zhuang Ding on the wall from wasting the already small defensive equipment. Zhuang Ding just woke up from the killing madness just now, sat on the ground like a prostration, and gasped violently with his mouth wide open, as if he wanted to gasp out his lungs, not due to fatigue, but due to too much pressure.
Standing behind the battle, called Huatian saw that the people on the wall were fooled, and wasted so many feather arrows on this group of homeless people, he felt that the clever plan was sold very happily, and said to the surrounding cronies: "Look at a bunch of stupid donkeys, we will let them waste at least a lot of feather arrows and arrows in a strategy, wait for us to form a formation, and then come on so twice, see that they only use their teeth to fight with our strong soldiers, hahahaha." ”
Called Hua Tian proud, the surrounding cronies immediately fart, rolling in, as if this tactic was invented by his family, called smallpox to listen to the tide of sycophants that is quite comfortable, look at the sky is late, a whip is proud: "Okay, let's not grind our teeth here, I think we will cancel the rest, tell the little ones, let's work hard, go to the Li family camp for dinner." ”
Think about it, in order to boost morale, and at the same time pass the order, "I will not seal the knife when I enter the Li family camp." ”
When the cronies heard it, it was thunderous, the so-called non-sealing knife is to let everyone beat the Li family camp, regardless of the rich and poor, the rich and the poor are open to looting, and the women's wealth and wealth are capable, and only half of them are handed over to the big boss afterwards.
This is what everyone was waiting for, since the big boss had an order that was in line with everyone's thoughts, when this order was passed down, the entire team of minions cheered, and the spirit immediately rose, and the morale soared, and everyone tightened their belts and was eager to try for the next battle.
Everyone on the wall heard the cheers of the poles, and knew that things could not be done well today, and an old man stood on a high place and shouted hoarsely: "Fellow villagers, the pole is going to kill our village, and now for the sake of the old and young people in our village, we are desperately killing the enemy, if this battle is won, my Li family is willing to pay ten taels of silver per person, and one stone of white rice per family." The dead are buried, the old and the young are close to the yard to work, and the injured are rented to good fields for farming, and the land rent is halved, can everyone be satisfied? Would you like to kill the enemy with me? ”
"Okay, thank you, Master Li." The city erupted in cheers.
This Li family has also made a bloody investment, as long as it withstands this round, then the Li family will be saved, a little silver is just a dime, it is nothing.
For a while, the two sides were in high spirits, and a real battle began.
With the start of Hua Tian's high spirits, the old and weak women and children who had retreated were pushed forward again, but the strong minions also clenched their knives and guns to follow up and prepare to charge. Behind them were dozens of minions with bows and arrows, who were to inflict a crushing blow on the wall.
The consumption team composed of old and weak women and children no longer rushed to the wall and withdrew, but carried a long ladder with the minions who came behind and charged with the rain of feathered arrows on the wall.
His companions fell, and no one paid any attention, shouting meaningless notes with their mouths open, turning every bit of air in their lungs into a terrible trombone, hoping that the howls in their ranks would overwhelm each other.
Rushing to the bottom of the fence and setting up a long ladder, several people braved the falling logs and stones to hold on tightly, and a long string of minions held swords in their mouths, braving the rain of arrows and rolling logs to climb hard. One was knocked down, the other went up again, and the woman and the old man holding the ladder fell down and a few more, and under each ladder there were piles of dead bodies.
The leader of the pole below kept shouting and scolding hoarsely, urging the minions on the ladder to speed up the climb, and the archers below kept throwing feather arrows up, and from time to time Zhuang Ding fell off the wall with arrows.
On the wall, Li Zhuangding is also desperately blocking the bandits who want to climb up, the arrows have been numb in both arms and can no longer open the big bow, so he pulled out his waist knife and slashed the bandits who came out, several Zhuang Ding and Li shouted with a long pole to knock down the long ladder on the wall, and other people continued to smash the rolling wood and stones down against the bandits, the casualties on both sides continued to increase, and the battlefield was a tragic wail, but Zhuang Ding had the advantage of the topography of the wall, there were fewer casualties, and the pole minions were at a disadvantage but suffered heavy casualties.
The stalemate lasted for an hour, the strength of the poles had been discharged, and the attack was no longer as fierce as before, so Hua Tian had no choice but to order the troops to be withdrawn, ready to make a slight adjustment to continue the battle. With the sound of the causeway, the minions fled the wall like a flood, leaving only layers of corpses and wailing wounded.
The minions who returned to a safe place, the old and weak women and children, were exhausted, and they were already exhausted from the few bowls of porridge they had eaten in the morning, and they all collapsed to the ground one by one.
Hua Tian frowned, he didn't expect such a seemingly easy-to-reach village to be so difficult, and it was really as Wu Tao said, not only the walls were tall but also guarded. Thinking of this, I suddenly thought, don't really respond to Wu Tao's crow's mouth, at this time, other villages will come to kill again. Thinking of this, I trembled for no reason, turned around and looked at the surrounding woods, and felt eerie, it was when my group was exhausted, but don't have an accident.
