Chapter 53: Cannon Fodder 2
Xu Shiyang stood on the hill with the Xu family's dock castle masters, looking at the battlefield that was about to start in the distance.
I have to admit that the people of Naluodao have occupied Fulai Mountain for so many years, and they have done some work for the safety of their nest.
His cottage is located on the mountainside of Fulai Peak, the west side of the cottage is a cliff, it seems that it has been dug by hand, it is more than a dozen battles high, and it is very steep, it is completely impossible to attack from this side.
The west side is a very dense mountain forest, over there, even in the daytime, the visibility is very low, there is no way to line up at all, if you go out of the mountains and forests in a scattered way, naturally can not pose any threat to the wall, no matter how big the strength advantage is difficult to play.
To the south is the road up the mountain, and on both sides of the road are potholes dug by the Narador people, many of which are still filled with dirty water, and there are some sharp wooden stakes and other things in the puddles.
The narrow road, which can accommodate up to two or three people walking side by side, winds and turns between these puddles.
The road itself is also an excellent defense, and if an attacker follows the road, they will need to walk several times the distance, or waste their efforts to fill up the puddle.
As for the north, there were only two roads to the top of the mountain, and the other was held by Liu Gao's village on the other side of the mountain, and it was impossible to attack from there without first capturing Liu Gao's village.
Even if it is captured, it will be difficult for the enemy army to gather sufficient strength and supplies after crossing the floating peak.
"At least the terrain is good." Xu Shiyang said to himself: "Take here, even if the Tartar brigade comes to retaliate in the future, at least there is a way out." ”
In order to build such a cottage, in addition to the need for strong combat effectiveness to force the defenders not to dare to go out of the village to fight in the field and can only defend, a large number of auxiliary manpower is also needed to transport supplies and fill in the offensive road.
In the face of the Xu family, there is no latter item for the Tartars, and there is no former item for bandits and homeless people.
And the Xu family faced the Luo Dao people, both of both.
This village will be broken!
Ahead, the battle began.
Wang Ying's department walked to a bend in the road not far from the cottage, and there was a huge sewage pit in front of it, so they could only walk along the road and the wall of the wall, at this time they were facing the wall, and the target was huge.
The bandits seized the opportunity to shoot a large number of arrows at the attackers crowded on the parallel road, and the old bandits under Wang Ying immediately cried wolf, and some of them were full of arrows and fell to the ground motionless.
In order to avoid the attack, some people fell into the sewage pit around them carelessly, and were strung on sharp wooden stakes like meat skewers, screaming miserably, and the blood gushing out instantly dyed the puddle dark red.
If it weren't for the bandits' poor bow and arrow strength, Wang Ying would have paid a greater price.
"Shoot them!"
Someone on the wall shouted frantically: "Shoot these rebellious dog thieves!" ”
Once the fight started, the matter would not be so easy to end, Wang Ying's face was cut by a stone arrow cluster A deep wound, blood flowed.
The smell of blood poured into his nasal cavity, and the blood of the bandit leader was stimulated, and Wang Ying had a brutal seizure and yelled: "Say your mother!" Together with a few other strong old bandits, they used several corpses as meat shields and rushed towards the wall.
The other old bandits shouted and followed, but the Xu family militia who were in the formation stood outside the attack range of the cottage, quietly watching the battle.
Behind them, 20 auxiliaries from each of the Xu's fifteen dock forts began to try to fill the puddles on the road with dirt bags.
In front, Wang Ying's people withstood the rain of arrows, and soon rushed to the wall, the rain of arrows became more dense, and people kept screaming and falling, rolling on the ground, but the guards on the wall did not let them go, and the people who left the cover of the corpses became the best targets, and more arrows shot down, sticking them like hedgehogs.
"Don't fall!" Wang Ying yelled: "If you fall, you will die!" ”
The others did not have time to respond, and several of them carried a corpse on their backs, covering another person to wield a hoe under the wall, digging the earthen wall.
Although these people are old bandits, they are different from Liu Gao's defeated soldiers, they have also planted the land before, and they wield their hoes quite well, and they quickly dug down many large pieces of soil from the wall.
"Smash them!"
Luo Daoren also appeared at the head of the wall, he brandished a long sword, and screamed and commanded a group of bandits to lift a large stone and throw it under the wall, this thing is not something that a human body can stop, and suddenly some of the attackers were smashed on the head and bleeding.
Once someone can't support the meat shield above their heads, the archer will shift the target to the exposed person, although the bone arrow stone arrow is not very lethal, but if you take too much, you will also die.
On the wall, seven or eight bandits struggled to lift a heavy long bluestone, and threw it down with a shout, this time, directly smashed the three attackers below, two of them vomited blood blisters, and they were no longer alive, and the other one was still struggling to crawl out, and immediately someone took him as a target, and in an instant dozens of arrows were inserted in his back, and the man twitched twice and never moved again.
"I can't hold it! Run for your life! ”
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Wang Ying was forced to give up the attack, and ran wildly with the rest of the people to the road from which they came, and the defenders let out bursts of cheers and continued to chase with bows and arrows, and people were constantly shot to death, and people kept panicking and falling into puddles on the side of the road, and Wang Ying's subordinates suffered heavy casualties.
"Hahaha, it's interesting, but it's not Mingjin, who asked them to take it down?" Xu Shiyang laughed and said, "Send someone to kill them!" ”
"Third brother, it's already very good, you don't have to do it so much, right?" Zhang Jian persuaded on the side: "Spare their lives." ”
"You sympathize with the bandits?" Xu Shiyang glanced at the Lord of Wutun Fort, and said coldly: "You guarantee that they will not make trouble in the future?" ”
"It's ......." Of course, Zhang Jian can't guarantee anything, he is not familiar with Wang Ying, and he persuaded him just now, just because he felt that Yanshun and Wang Ying both surrendered to Changfang, and if they were all killed, it might be Xu Shiyang's conspiracy to weaken Changfang.
"Since Lord Zhang Bao is the guarantor of the thieves, I won't embarrass them, just kill the ones who took the lead in escaping, and kill 5."
After speaking, Xu Shiyang didn't say anything more, and waved his hand directly, and Xu Da Xu Er immediately led the pro-army team to Wang Ying.
"When did I say I was going to be a guarantor for the thief?" Zhang Jian shouted dissatisfiedly.
Xu Mujiang immediately turned his head and stopped him from continuing to defend with a stern look.
"I really didn't say anything about ......." Zhang Jian was really afraid of Xu Mujiang, and when the other party looked at him, he didn't dare to say any more, but couldn't help muttering a few words.
Wang Ying was hit with two arrows on his back, but fortunately, he was usually well-nourished and strong, and he could still run at the front of the team out of breath at this time.
After seeing the oncoming Xu family, he shouted: "We can't hold on!" Let someone else do it! I'm worthy of you! ”
Xu Shiyang's personal soldiers did not answer, lined up in a row, and indifferently pointed at Wang Ying with the already loaded musket.
When he got closer, Xu Da ordered: "Shoot!" ”
There was a crackling sound like fried beans in the hands of the pro-soldier team in an instant, Wang Ying trembled violently like an electric shock, he looked at the two blood holes in his abdomen and chest that were blasted out by lead in disbelief, and the corners of his mouth trembled a few times, but in the end he didn't say anything, and fell to the ground softly.
This murderous bandit leader is dead.
