Chapter 237: Siege

At dusk that day, the Shen Yiyuan Department and the Mongol Department set up two camps on the left and the right, and then they each buried their pots to cook, stored their strength, and prepared to fight again tomorrow. (/\)

At night, Shen Yiyuan sent sentries to keep an eye on Jingbian Fort to prevent the Jingbian Fort army from touching the camp at night, while Tra sent sentry spies to spy on the Jingbian Fort army and also secretly monitored the barracks of Shen Yiyuan's department.

Tra felt that although the Shen Yiyuan Department had rebelled, they were still from the Ming Kingdom, and if they suddenly rebelled and planned to attack the military camp on their side and kill the Mongols under their command, in order to ask the Ming court to atone for their sins, then they would be in trouble.

Therefore, he especially informed the sentinels that if they found any changes in the Divine One Yuan Division, they would report it quickly, and he could make arrangements quickly.

The next day, when it was dawning, Shen Yiyuan called his men up early, and then he sent some of his men to the vicinity of Jingbian Fort to grab raw mouths for his own use, while others continued to drive the people to carry wooden ladders to pave the way in the trenches.

After a day and a night's rest, the mood of the people calmed down a little, and they were driven by the rebels of the Shen Yuan Division, and they had to walk to the other side of the trench with sad faces.

Shen Yiyuan didn't want the people to run back if they encountered a slight setback, so he said to Gao Yingdeng with a cold face: "This siege, don't be soft-hearted, as long as the people retreat, regardless of men, women, and children, all of them will be cut down with a knife." ”

"Okay, Brother God, I know." Gao Yingdeng nodded, then pulled out his saber and said hatefully to his direct subordinates: "In this attack, if the Shengkou retreat again, the leaders will be killed." If the leader is killed, they still have to run, and they will fuck kill all the fleeing students. ”

"Yes, Master." When a rebel received the order, he took his sword and stared at the people in front of him viciously, only to wait for them to turn back and flee.

When the people heard Gao Yingdeng's words, their necks shrunk, their backs were cold, and they were very afraid, so they had no choice but to tremble and carry the wooden ladder and slowly approach the trench.

Li Jiye and Wang Zuo at the head of the city saw that the thieves were attacking with the people, so they ordered their artillery and archers: "All the soldiers listen to the order and prepare to meet the enemy. ”

"Yes." When the artillerymen and archers received the order, they each came to their posts, and the artillerymen were busy cleaning the chambers and preparing the ammunition; The archers were busy bending their bows and arrows, looking for targets.

When the people carrying wooden ladders came within range of the artillery and archers, Li Jiye gave the order to his men: "Open the cannon." ”

'Knock, knock, knock, knock. The cannon roared, and the scorching solid cannonballs once again rushed into the crowd at great speed.

As long as the people were hit by shells, they were all broken into pieces of flesh, or their arms and legs were broken, and their bones and tendons were broken.

"The artillery of the official army is so powerful, everyone runs."

I don't know who shouted loudly, but the people seemed to have forgotten Gao Yingdeng's threatening words, and they all ran back with their heads locked without saying a word.

"Hmph, die." Gao Yingden saw that the people took his words as wind in their ears, first sneered for a while, and then said hatefully to his subordinates: "Come forward with me and drive them back." ”

"Yes, Master." The rebels responded, and then each with his own sword, together with Gao Yingdeng, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, frantically slashed and slaughtered the people who fled back.

That is, in the blink of an eye, the people who fled back were cut down a lot.

When the people saw Gao Yingdeng and the others killing people without blinking, they were horrified and had to continue to turn around and charge.

"That's right, if you don't kill, you don't have a long memory, and if you don't kill and don't obey. Gao Yingdeng smiled at his men.

When the defenders at the head of Jingbian Fort saw that the thieves were attacking again, they continued to bombard the enemy. After several rounds of shelling in a row, the people found that the cannon was actually amazing, but the lethality was not great, as long as they were not directly hit by the shells, they would not worry about their lives.

The people discovered the characteristics of the Jingbian Fort cannon, and when they advanced, their steps became faster and faster, after all, the faster they ran, the fewer times they were bombarded by the artillery.

In this way, the people carried wooden ladders, quickened their pace, braved the artillery fire of the Jingbian Fort army, and were already close to the trench.

"Just put the wooden ladder on it, and today's task is complete." Some people thought of this, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, as if victory was at hand.

But the reality is cruel.

When the king at the head of the city saw that the enemy was approaching the trench, he said in a loud voice to his men: "When the enemy is approaching the trench, raise the arrows upwards and shoot them out to cover the enemy." ”

"Yes." The archers each said yes, and they all pulled their strong bows to the full moon state.

"Put." Wang Zuo let out a loud shout.

The archers all let go, "boom", the sound of bowstrings, hundreds of feathered arrows covered the clouds and the sun, and flew towards the people by the trench.

"The officers and soldiers have released their arrows, so hide in the plank"

The wooden ladder made by the thieves is made of large wood as the main trunk and covered with door panels, which can be regarded as a large shield.

The rain of arrows released by the Jingbian Fort Army fell on the edge of the trench in an uproar, and the people hiding under the wooden bridge were fine for the time being, and those who did not hide in it were miserable.

"Ah, my legs."

"My arm."

The wails came and went.

"Put."

"Put."

Under the command of Wang Zuohang, his archers unleashed two arrows in a row, and this time nearly a thousand feathered arrows completely covered the people on the side of the trench.

Those people who did not hide under the wooden ladder, because they did not have any protective tools and no armor to protect themselves, naturally the vast majority were killed by random arrows, and only a few survived, but they were also not lightly injured. Many of the people who hid in the wooden ladders were shot in the arm.

"Oh my God, they dared to shoot arrows at a distance of 80 paces, and they could still shoot them." Gao Yingdeng said dumbfounded.

"They are indeed a bit powerful, you see, the 500 raw mouths we have captured have not yet touched the edge of the trench, and half of them have been lost, and the casualties are too heavy. That's it, Yikui, you take people to the villages and towns and fortresses everywhere to search for door panels, wooden boards, and use them as shields for the students, so that they can also have a protection against the feather arrows of the official army. Shen Yiyuan probed and said.

"Okay, big brother, I'll make a note of it." Shen Yikui agreed.

"Hey, Brother God, you're still feeling distressed." Gao Yingdeng said with a smile.

"Yingden, I don't feel sorry for them. It is difficult to catch the raw mouth near the left side of Jingbian Fort, if you are not frugal and save money, the raw mouth will be dead, and the left near will not be able to catch a new raw mouth, so we can only go into battle by ourselves, otherwise you still want to count on the Mongols to help us? God replied.

"Hey, these Mongols, they said that they were helping us fight in the field and blocking reinforcements, at this time, looking at Daming, where can there be reinforcements. They just watched us bleed, and they just took advantage of it in the end. And, hehe, they sleep at night with their eyes open, guarding against us. Gao Yingdeng said in a strange manner.

"The Mongols are not good at attacking cities, you used to be a border army, you know it well, and they are Mongols after all, and we should also defend ourselves, it's nothing. Also, you have to remember that if they hadn't come all the way with us, to be honest, I wouldn't have dared to come to Jingbian Fort, so if I suffer, I would have suffered, and it was the people who died right and now, and our strength would not be lost. As long as we get rid of Liu Renyu, a big confidant, the entire Yansui, the whole Shaanxi, we can open wherever we want to open the city and fortress, gold and silver treasures, beautiful women and meat, it is not for us to use. Shen Yiyuan smiled slightly and comforted Gao Ying.

"What Brother God said is that it is such a reason." Gao Yingdeng laughed for a while, and then continued to ask: "How to deal with those injured people, whether to save them or not?" ”

"We are short of doctors and medicines here, how can we save them?" Shen Yiyuan shook his head and said.

"In that case, let them fend for themselves." Gao Yingdenghun didn't care.

"No, I am seriously injured, I can't survive, I can't die, how miserable, God has the virtue of a good life, let's be good people for a while, send them all the way." Shen Yiyuan said.

"Hehe, be a good person for a while, hehe, Brother God, you are really ......" Gao Yingdeng searched in his mind for a while, but he really couldn't find a suitable word to describe Shen Yiyuan's pretending behavior, so he could only laugh and say: "You are really a kind person." ”

When Shen Yiyuan heard this, he didn't make any response, he just waved his hand and said, "Go, get them, send them on their way." ”

"Oh, that's good." Gao Yingden agreed, and then ordered his men to take bows and arrows and shoot the people who were still struggling.

The people who were still carrying the wooden ladder were all frightened when they saw that Gao Yingden did not let go of the wounded, so even if they were shot by a bow and arrow, as long as they could still move, they would never lie on the ground.

In this way, under the protection of the planks on the wooden ladder, the people successfully avoided the rain of arrows of the Jingbian Fort Army and gradually approached the trench.

When the people had brought the ladder to the ditch, they put one end of the ladder on the ground and pushed the other end together, intending to push the ladder upside down, and put it on the ground on the other side of the ditch.

However, the wooden ladder was quite heavy, and the people could only let the wooden ladder rise slowly with all their strength, which undoubtedly provided a good target for the artillery of Jingbian Fort.
