Chapter 153: The First Battle Makes Contributions
In the afternoon, the gopher came out of the hole with his men, all covered in dirt, and they were really like earth rats.
When he saw Xiao Tianjian standing at the entrance of the hole, he smiled and said, "This underground soil layer is very even, and I didn't encounter any trouble!" I have dug under the gate of the village, and I have led the brothers to dig a big hole under the gate of the village, as long as the gunpowder is added, it is guaranteed to be able to blow up the gate of the village! ”
After Xiao Tianjian listened, he was very curious to drill into the hole and take a look, the hole is not big, only for a person to bend down to drill into it, the hole is pitch black, only a small oil lamp is lit on the wall of the hole every other section, so that there can be some faint light in the hole, and the hole they dig out is not a simple square, the top is arched, and there will be a ventilation hole to the ground every other section, which is very neat, it can be seen that the gopher is indeed a good hand at doing this.
So Xiao Tianjian clapped his hands with satisfaction and got back to the ground, and said with a smile: "The expert is amazing!" This tunnel is beautifully dug! But did Brother Liang make sure that the end of the land was just under the village gate? If you miss it, it will blow up in vain, and it will alarm the people in the village! ”
The drill gopher replied confidently: "The big boss, please rest assured, we are all good at doing this, and we can ensure that there is no deviation at all, if there is a mistake, the big boss can cut off my head!" ”
After Xiao Tianjian laughed a little, he patted the gopher on the shoulder and said, "Of course I can trust Brother Liang's craftsmanship!" Come! Go in and plant gunpowder! Then fill in the holes! ”
The gopher smiled: "Let me do this kind of thing myself!" If the hole is not filled tightly, it will be deflated, and the village gate will not be blown up at that time! ”
So a soldier immediately sent a few barrels of gunpowder, the gopher with his men, carried these powder barrels, and then drilled into the hole again, and after another busy work, the gopher drilled out of the hole with a medicine twist, handed over to the soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave, patted the dust on the body and jumped back to the ground and said to Xiao Tianjian with a smile: "Okay, big boss!" It's all done inside! At any time, you can ignite a fire to blow up the door of the village and enter the village! ”
Xiao Tianjian looked at the sky, and by this time, it had not yet darkened, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and withdrew Luo Li and Yan Chongxi, who were still feintifying to attack Zhuangzi, from the battle, and reassembled outside the village.
The people in the village looked at the Xingtian army that had withdrawn again, and they all began to shout and laugh, a person in iron armor pointed at the Xingtian army generals outside the village and laughed loudly at the Xingtian army's incompetence, and the angry Luo Li jumped to his feet and scolded.
After Xiao Tianjian summoned his generals to the front, he said to them: "Brothers, don't be angry! I'm going to go to the village to rest tonight! Let everyone in the village know how powerful we are! Come with me in a moment! Come! Ignition! ”
After listening to the order, several soldiers standing at the entrance of the cave immediately put the torch on the medicine twist at the entrance of the cave, only to see that the medicine twist immediately hissed and burned, like a worm with life, and quickly burned into the hole with green smoke.
Everyone stood quietly outside the village gate, quietly waiting for the sound of the explosion to come out, this moment time seemed to freeze, passed very slowly, and I didn't feel a trace of vibration from the ground under my feet for a long time, and I couldn't help but make people wait more and more anxiously, and gradually began to commotion, although no one dared to question loudly, but they also made eye contact with each other, as if asking each other why there was no movement until now.
Xiao Tianjian was also a little nervous, after all, this was the first time they had adopted such a method to capture a strong stronghold, and to some extent it was also a test of a new tactic, if the detonation was not successful, it would inevitably affect morale, and they would have to risk burrowing into the ground and re-igniting, but that would undoubtedly be very dangerous.
So he also turned his head to look at the drill gopher, the drill gopher was also at a loss at this time I didn't know what was going on, after all, there was no clock at this time, no one knew how long it had been since the ignition was ignited, maybe the time had just passed, or it could have been a long time, everyone was nervous, and felt that time passed unusually slowly, even the drill gopher felt uneasy at this time, after all, doing this kind of thing was also a new subject for him, and he had never done it before.
After waiting for a while, the gopher didn't feel the gunpowder in the cave detonate, so he scratched his head embarrassedly and said to Xiao Tianjian: "Big boss, I guess I guess I will break the medicine twist when I came out just now?" I'll drill down and see! ”
Xiao Tianjian was a little helpless, after all, he had been waiting for a long time, and the gunpowder did not explode, it was likely that something went wrong, resulting in the gunpowder below not being ignited, so it was necessary to go in and have a look, but he was worried that the medicine twist below had not burned out, and he was afraid that there would be an accident when the gopher went down, so he nodded and said: "Okay!" Wait and see, if it doesn't blow up after dark, it's not too late to go in! Now ......"
As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt a violent shaking under his feet, and everyone shook slightly, and then Xiao Tianjian hurriedly looked at the gate of Xiejiazhuang, only to see that the ground suddenly arched at the gate of the village, and the whole Zhuangzi trembled violently, and then the entire gate slowly began to collapse, shaking the people on the wall of the village to the point that they were crooked, and some people even fell directly from the top of the collapsed gate building with the collapsed Zhuangmen, and the whole Xiejiazhuang suddenly became chaotic.
Xiao Tianjian turned his head to look at the hole behind him, only to see that a cloud of dust was also spewed out from the hole at the same time, and the entire ditch was filled with a cloud of smoke and dust.
It was only at this time that people heard a thunderous roar in Xiejiazhuang, everyone was shocked, but they all laughed suddenly, Xiao Tianjian pulled out his waist knife, waved it towards Xiejiazhuang, and shouted: "Follow me!" As soon as the words fell, he spread his long legs and rushed towards Xie Jiazhuang.
And the soldiers and generals behind him also burst out with a thunderous shout at the same time, and they rushed towards Xie Jiazhuang with cheers one by one.
The entire village gate of Xiejiazhuang has completely collapsed at this moment, piled up on the collapsed ground into a pile of rubble, even a nearby section of the village wall also collapsed because of the huge earthquake, many Zhuang Ding Xiangyong also fell into the rubble with the collapsed village wall, the flesh and blood were smashed, and some people close to the village gate were shocked by the huge vibration and vomited blood, threw themselves on the ground, twisted their bodies in pain, there was dust rising everywhere, and the air was filled with a choking smell of gunsmoke, Some of the uninjured people inside were dizzy from the shock, and their bodies were shaky and they couldn't tell the difference between the east and the west.
The Xingtian Army only used a charge, and then from the collapsed gap into the Zhuangzi, and the people in the Zhuangzi because of the sudden blow, have long lost the ability to resist, in the face of the wolf like a tiger into the Zhuangzi Xingtian Army, it can be said that there is no way to fight back, by the Xingtian Army's generals cut melons and vegetables like a drop in the pool of blood, it only took half an hour, the Xingtian Army completely controlled the entire Xiejiazhuang.
In the face of the attack of the Xingtian Army, the Zhuang Ding villagers took the initiative to drop their weapons, knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands, and gave up resistance, only a small part of the fierce Zhuang Ding, and finally carried out an ineffective resistance, and soon were killed by the Xingtian Army who rushed into Zhuangzi, and even Zhang Dachuan, who was in charge, was captured on the spot, tied up, and escorted to Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian was not the first person to rush into Xiejiazhuang, after all, such a war, there was no need for him to take the lead, so after launching the charge, he fell behind to command, and after he entered the village, the battle in Zhuangzi was basically over, only the last Xie family's compound remained, and there were still a few Xie family's clansmen who were making the last weak resistance, but they had long lost the chance to turn the tables.
Xiao Tianjian glanced at the middle-aged man who was tied to him, and saw that this person had a fierce face, with a large beard, his face was covered with blood, and the iron armor on his body was also tattered. ”
The soldier who escorted this person replied loudly: "General Qiyu, just now after I entered Zhuangzi, I met this guy who was leading people to resist and wanted to knock us out, he looked like a leader, and he was very fierce!" He also wounded three of our brothers, until a dozen brothers surrounded him, but he still refused to surrender, and we forcibly overturned him, and we looked at this man as if he were a leader, so we escorted him to the general!
Just now a captive said that his name is Zhang Dachuan, and he is leading the Zhuang Ding Xiangyong in the village to fight with us for three days, if it weren't for this guy, we would have already laid down this Xie Jiazhuang! ”
"Oh? Zhang Dachuan? Good! Well done, reward! Well, let me ask you, are you the leader of the troops here? Xiao Tianjian then turned to the captive and asked.
"Phew! Lao Tzu Xing does not change his name, he does not change his surname, Lao Tzu is Zhang Dachuan! It's Lao Tzu who is here to stop you thieves!
You fucking unruly, you actually let the deception blow up our village, you are not a hero! Have the ability to let go of Lao Tzu and let Lao Tzu go head-to-head with you! This Zhang Dachuan refused to kneel, and struggled to scold Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are very capable, you actually took these rabble, and you were stunned to block our Xingtian Army for three days!" Not bad! But you've miscalculated the year today, and you've found the wrong opponent! In the past three days, you have led people to kill dozens of my brothers and injured nearly 100 of my brothers.
As far as I know, you also have a Zhuangzi here! When the time comes, when I break through your Zhuangzi, we will calculate this account together, come on, take him down for me, and take a good look at it! Don't want him to run away! ”
Hearing Xiao Tianjian mention his Zhuangzi, this Zhang Dachuan's face suddenly changed greatly, and his attitude suddenly softened, and he hurriedly struggled and said to Xiao Tianjian: "Okay! I'm convinced! I admit it! But don't involve me or my brothers' families in this matter, and don't be angry with them for this! ”
Xiao Tianjian sneered and said, "You also know that you are afraid of words? All right! Thinking about the face of you as a man, I won't bother with you this time! As long as you are willing to persuade them to surrender, then they will not be burned with Zhuangzi, but if they resist, then you can blame me for being ruthless! ”
Looking at Zhang Dachuan who was escorted down, Xiao Tianjian gathered his generals together and said to them: "Right now, in order to attack this Xie Jiazhuang, we have been delayed for a lot of time, and I think the government should also make a move at this time, so time waits for no one, we have to level the surrounding area as soon as possible!" The villagemen who can fight in the nearby Zhuangzi have basically fallen into our hands this time, and there are not many people who can fight among the other Zhuangzi, Yan Chongxi and Luo Li, your soldiers will be divided into two roads, and they will start sweeping the surrounding Zhuangzi early tomorrow morning! ”
Yan Chongxi and Luo Li immediately gave up the order, and early the next morning, only Xiao Tianjian was left with a small number of guards to deal with the aftermath of the war in Xiejiazhuang, and the two of them immediately led their troops and rushed towards the east of Xiejiazhuang in two ways.
(I came back last night, and I went out for three days with disappointments, regrets, hardships, and surprises, but the last word is tired!) I'm almost tired! After a three-day break, come back and sort out your thoughts, ready to start coding! )
