Chapter 441: Fire Guards Fire Attack Yuliang Road

The walls of the Chen family's mansion are high and solid, and there is a deep ditch outside, and it is extremely difficult to attack after the gate is hoisted, and the private soldiers of the Chen family are also well-trained, and the feather arrows are almost empty, so the Shanzi camp suffered a small loss. After rushing twice in a row, he failed to get close to the wall, but lost 100 men.

After all, Lu Fenghou is not an experienced battle-hardened, and even Chen Yishan can't compare to Chen Yishan's ability to command the team. Chen Yishan has been in the left avant-garde for more than ten years, and he has only seen and heard more than Lu Fenghou. Fortunately, Lu Fenghou was not an impulsive and reckless person, knowing that the Chen family's compound was difficult to gnaw, he did not continue to carry it forward.

After Fang Xie arrived, he carefully observed it, and rode around the Chen family's compound.

"It's not impossible to attack hard, but the casualties are too great."

Seeing Fang Xie frowning, Sun Kaidao leaned forward and said: "As far as I can see, the speed of our attack on Qiu'an County is fast enough, so we are still rich in time, it is better to cover with a giant shield hand and let the captured rebels find cloth bags to fill the deep ditch outside the Chen family's mansion." The courtyard wall is the most high, but after all, the number of archers of the Chen family's private soldiers is limited, and after a section of the deep ditch is filled, it may be possible to break through the Chen house by suppressing it with an arrow array. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Just do as you say, tell those rebel prisoners, each of them throw a bag, you can avoid death." Those who disobey will be beheaded. ”

Lu Fenghou immediately took people to do it and escorted the more than 1,000 rebel soldiers over. Although there is no grain in the yamen of Qiu'an County, there are not a lot of sacks in the treasury. Reluctantly, none of the rebel soldiers wanted to die, and rushed forward under the cover of the giant shieldmen, carrying sacks filled with dirt.

The private soldiers of the Chen family on the courtyard wall poured down the feather arrows like crazy, but after all, the number was limited, and after the rebels lost one or two hundred people, they quickly filled in the deep ditch for a long time. The archers of the Shanzi battalion began to press forward in formation, and the same standard hard bow of the Great Sui was in their hands, but the Shanzi battalion occupied an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

At the beginning, because Duan Zheng admired Fang Xie and these men of Huangyang Dao, he transferred a large number of materials from the water division to the Shanzi camp. The feather arrows were densely spread towards the courtyard wall like flying locusts, and the Chen family's private soldiers were soon suppressed and couldn't lift their heads. Lu Fenghou saw that the opportunity was coming, and personally rushed forward with a regiment of soldiers.

The soldiers of the Yamaji battalion carried the ladder that was picked up, although it was rudimentary, but it could reach the courtyard wall. After losing more than a hundred brothers before, Lu Fenghou held back a fire in his heart. With a knife in his mouth, he held a shield in one hand and a ladder in the other. The feather arrows on the side of the Shanzi camp stopped, and the Chen family's private soldiers immediately stood up and fired back. Many soldiers of the Shanzi battalion were shot down from the ladder and fell heavily to the ground.

Fang Jie's team is most lacking siege equipment now, so the attack is very difficult. Although the ladder is long enough, it is too soft, and people climb up the ladder very much. And the Chen family's private soldiers had obviously been prepared to deal with such a situation for a long time, and all the means of defense were used.

Several private soldiers pushed the ladder out with a hook, and the soldiers who were still climbing on it screamed and fell down, and although many people did not die, they lost their combat effectiveness for a while when they fell.

"Fuel the fire!"

Chen Dingnan, the eldest grandson of the Chen family, who had a cold face, shouted loudly, and the private soldiers immediately poured down the oil that had been boiled, and immediately more than a dozen soldiers of the Shanzi battalion were drenched with hot vegetable oil, and the wailing sound was so terrible. Where the oil is splashed, a layer of flesh skin will fall off when you touch it. Someone's whole face was burned after being drenched, and even the sound came out of his throat.

"Rocket!"

Chen Dingnan gave another order, and the private soldiers lit the feather arrows wrapped in oilcloth and shot them down, and as soon as he exhaled, a sea of fire immediately rose under the courtyard wall. At least thirty or forty attacking Yamagi battalion soldiers were swept up in the fire, and soon they were burned to the ground and lost their lives.

Lu Fenghou lost another fifty or sixty men, and was forced to retreat by the sea of fire.

"This won't work!"

Chen Yishan said eagerly: "The people of the Chen family are well prepared, and the loss will be too great if they attack like this." ”

"They use fire, and so do we."

Fang Xie waved his hand and ordered, "Don't feel sorry for the feather arrow, burn that courtyard for me." ”

Hundreds of archers immediately moved, wrapped their feathered arrows and set them on fire, and hundreds of rockets were fired, and a wail was immediately heard from the courtyard wall. The archers continued to release their arrows, once again completely suppressing the Chen family's private soldiers. Soon, a fire rose in the courtyard. After all, most of the buildings in the courtyard are wooden, and some of the small houses that are not important still have thatched roofs, and thick smoke floats up from the courtyard walls, getting darker and darker.

You can hear the voices of people boiling in the yard, apparently fetching water to extinguish the fire.

Chen Dingnan looked at the officers and soldiers surrounding outside, and his face became more and more solemn.

"Young Master!"

A little guy ran up along the road and said to him breathlessly: "The old lady asked, whether the young master is sure to retreat from the enemy." The old lady said that after all, the people surrounding the house were not bandits or Mengyuan people, but the officials and soldiers of the Great Sui. If you really can't hold on, the old lady said that she is willing to spend money to buy peace. It seems that the people outside are just plotting the grain and grass in our house, as long as they don't touch it, they will send some out at all. The old lady said that he was afraid of angering the people outside and causing the Chen family to be wiped out. ”

Chen Dingnan knew that the old lady's worries were not unreasonable, the number of officers and soldiers outside was at least ten times that of his own soldiers, and he was confident that he could defeat five or even ten times the number of bandit rebels with these five hundred soldiers trained by himself, but he was not sure that he would always be able to block the offensive of the officers and soldiers.

If the resistance is too fierce and the losses of the officers and troops are too great, once it is broken, the Chen family will immediately fall into a situation from which they will never recover.

"Go and tell the old lady that I have my own measure!"

Chen Dingnan frowned and ordered, then turned around and shouted: "Let the people below pour water on the roof near the courtyard wall, and the people who can move are busy, don't let the fire startle the old lady!" ”

The people below agreed, and almost everyone who didn't participate in the battle got busy putting out the fire.

Fang Xie saw that the private soldiers on the city wall couldn't raise their heads, turned around and ordered: "Let those captives continue to pile up sacks and pile up a fish beam avenue." ”

Sun Kaidao originally wanted to suggest this, but when he saw Fang Jie, he also thought of it and was happy in his heart. From this, he could see that the young general he had taken refuge in was decisive.

……

……

Suppressed by the archers, the rebel captives began to pile sacks outside the courtyard walls. More than 1,000 people ran back and forth, and the sacks were piled higher and higher. Chen Dingnan watched the frightened rebels serve the enemy for their lives, and cursed in a low voice.

He wanted to instruct someone to pile up a barrier on the courtyard wall with sacks every three zhang, but he hesitated when he thought of the old lady's previous words. Eventually, he shook his head and suppressed the thought.

"Pour oil on the fish beam avenue they piled up and set it on fire!"

He commanded in a loud voice.

The private soldiers of the Chen family braved the rain of arrows and carried oil pots to splash on Yuliang Road, and most of the soldiers were shot over by the archers of the Shanzi battalion as soon as they appeared. But after all, they only wanted to target the part of Yuliang Road, and after losing twenty or thirty people, they still set Yuliang Road on fire.

"Let the rebel captives carry the wet mud pads!"

Fang Xie pointed to Yuliang Dao and ordered.

The soldiers of the Shanzi battalion fetched water and mud, and the rebel captives carried buckets filled with wet mud and sent them up to Yuliang Road. Because of the numerical advantage and the cover of the archers of the Shanzi Battalion, the flames on Yuliang Road were suppressed not long after.

After more than an hour, a three-meter-wide fishbeam road was finally paved. Lu Fenghou held his breath, simply took off his shirt, and pounced on a regiment of soldiers with a horizontal knife and shirtless. On the courtyard wall, most of the private soldiers were gathered in this section, and the archers kept raising their heads to shoot arrows, but because they were suppressed, they were not accurate. Lu Fenghou led people to rush up along the Yuliang Road, and soon approached the courtyard wall.

"Where are my soldiers?"

Chen Dingnan grabbed his horse lance and shouted, and fifty or sixty men behind him immediately responded. He jumped out of the city wall with his horse lance, and rushed along the Yuliang Road to meet the landing Marquis: "Follow me to push the enemy back!" ”

"No!"

Dozens of men rushed out with him, forming a sharp arrow formation, which was very neat.

Lu Fenghou's eyes immediately turned red when he saw the man in iron armor come down in person, he roared, and led the people to rush up. Chen Dingnan smashed it horizontally with a hammer in his hand, and Lu Fenghou pushed the knife with both hands, and when it sounded, it shocked his arms for a while. This handsome, cold and arrogant young man has surprisingly great strength in his hands.

Chen Dingnan took Lu Feng Hou Zhen a step back, and then stabbed straight up. The long lance was like a dragon in his hand, as fast as lightning, and it stabbed seven or eight times in succession in an instant. Lu Fenghou's martial arts are not too outstanding, so he was immediately forced by these seven or eight lances to be in a hurry. The horizontal knife kept knocking, and although it was not stabbed, it was in danger.

Chen Dingnan spotted a flaw, stabbed Lu Fenghou on the shoulder and then swept it horizontally, sweeping Lu Fenghou off the Yuliang Road, if it weren't for the corpses piled up below, he would have broken a few bones of Lu Fenghou in one fell swoop. Chen Dingnan stabbed a bloody hole in his shoulder, and the blood flowed out like a stream of wounds.

"Aunt Chun, come with me."

Fang Xie watched Lu Fenghou return again in vain, picked up the Chaolu knife and strode forward. The ten of them immediately followed the pace of the above solution and stood up with the Da Mo knife in their hands. The Mingguang Armor and the Da Mo Knife reflected a cold glow under the sunlight, and the awe-inspiring momentum on their bodies immediately diffused.

Without armor on his body, Fang Xie walked in front with a Chaolu knife. From time to time, feather arrows came over, and Fang Xie waved his knife to knock the feather arrows away.

Chen Dingnan led his own soldiers to a counter-charge, relying on the advantage of the terrain and his superior martial arts, he forced the soldiers of the 300 Shanzi battalion to retreat again and again. Chen Dingnan attacked from the top down, and the Shanzi battalion was already suffering losses from the bottom to the top, plus those private soldiers knew that if they were defeated, there would be no way to survive, so they all moved forward bravely.

Forcing the soldiers of the Shanzi battalion down from Yuliang Road, Chen Dingnan immediately retreated with his people. Before he could return to the city wall, he saw the young man in a black shirt walking towards him!

When he saw the black-clothed young man and the ten burly soldiers, his brows immediately furrowed.

He wiped a handful of sweat running down his face, and after being silent for a while, he said with some surprise: "Go and tell the old lady that you can prepare money and food now." ”

He took off his iron helmet and stood on the high part of the courtyard wall and shouted loudly to Fang Jie: "General outside the courtyard, I have something to say to you!" ”

Fang Xie had already arrived at the bottom of Yuliang Avenue with the ten people from the camp, and he paused after hearing the shout of the ironclad general.

It looked like he hesitated, but soon took another step.

Chen Dingnan's eyes changed, and he immediately put on the iron helmet again: "Why should the general continue to fight, it's just that there are more deaths and injuries!" Chen Mou's resistance is also a last resort, and I hope the general will forgive me! ”

Fang Xie strode forward without saying a word.

At this time, the old lady of the Chen family, who was already in her seventies, was helped to climb the courtyard wall. The old lady looked at the dense officers and soldiers outside, and a trace of anger and worry flashed in her eyes. He understood his grandson's thoughts, but he could see that his grandson had done it.

"Stand down!"

He commanded Chen Dingnan in a cold voice, broke free from the support of the two little guys and walked quickly to the courtyard wall: "The general outside, please stop, I am willing to surrender!" ”
