Chapter 41: Fierce Battle
"Archers prepare! Ready-to-go! ”
"Prepare the stones, throw them at me!"
"In the back, prepare the bales for me, wait for more people and throw them away!"
On the door of the cottage, Liu Jing kept commanding the reservists in the cottage with his throat in his voice. Fortunately, it has been a short time since the last attack, and I still have some experience in how to defend these reserves, so I won't be too busy.
But this time, the attack of Ye Bu was very fierce, and as soon as it came up, they all rushed forward, and they didn't give much time for the people in the cottage to react at all. On the gate of the cottage, there was only time to put a round of bows and arrows, and he had to be forced to engage in melee combat.
The gate of the cottage is not high, and some of the brave bandits can even use the speed to run directly to the bottom of the gate, and the rest of the bandits can also help each other, with one person cushioning underneath, and the other person rushing to the gate with strength.
Fortunately, in order to guard against bows and arrows, Bailijian prepared a lot of wooden planks on the walled gate, and with these planks, the bandits could not stand on the walled gate for a while. But this has also put great pressure on the reservists on the walled gate, and even casualties have already begun to appear.
One of the reservists was accidentally struck in the chest by an axe flying through a gap in the plank, and blood splattered everywhere, and he fell to the ground dying and struggling.
But no one around could take care of him, and the team that didn't collect at night attacked even more fiercely.
After experiencing a temptation, Ye Buhui immediately concluded that the guards in the cottage were very weak and vulnerable at all. He did not hesitate to collect the night, and gave the order to attack with all his might.
Bundles of burning hay were thrown from the gates, and billowing smoke filled the valley in an instant. This is the last resort of the cottage, if the smoke and fire can't stop the night, then the only way to do hand-to-hand combat is to go.
The fire instantly evacuated the moisture in the surrounding air, and the people in the cottage were already prepared, covering their mouths and noses with wet cloths, barely able to breathe. But those who don't take the night are not so comfortable, and the smoke enters their mouths and noses along the air, and violent coughing comes and goes, and from time to time there are desperate wails.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Bu hurriedly ordered a retreat and postponed the attack. The fire is merciless, and only about half of the people who can survive the fire intact remain.
Except for the cavalry team that did not enter the attack, only a hundred people were able to come back from a team of more than two hundred people. The heavy casualties made the morale of the entire team extremely low, and the survivors could no longer care about looking at the faces of the night, and sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
Ye Bushu's face was gloomy at this time, and water could drip out, and the huge casualties made Ye Bushu's heart ache. When attacking their lair, although the casualties were not small, everyone was also killed in battle. Being roasted to death by fire like this is too tragic.
For a while, the idea of wanting to retreat arose in the heart of Ye Bushu.
The hay burned fiercely, but it burned fiercely and quickly, and after a while, the fire gradually became smaller. A mountain wind blew, sweeping away the smoke from the ravine and a lot of heat.
When I looked up at the night, the gate of the cottage on the opposite side was already dilapidated at this time, many places were scorched black by the fire, and there was even a big hole burned out between some places.
On the walled gate, a group of people were disgraced, constantly extinguishing fires everywhere, and at the same time seizing the time to strengthen the walled gate and plug the loopholes.
This is a great opportunity. The eyes of the night are vicious, and I know that this is the only chance. At this time, the morale of his side has fallen to the bottom, and if he asks the people on the opposite side to strengthen the walled gate, he will never have a chance to take it down.
"Get up for me! If they can't do it soon, they will all follow me, break through the village, and I will be rewarded! ”
With a roar, Ye Bushu rushed out with the cavalry.
At this time, it was the time when the defense on the walled gate was the weakest, and the speed of the cavalry was extremely fast, and they had already come to the front of the walled gate in a few breaths.
Liu Jing was also negligent, the previous fire burned too violently, not only deterred the night, but even the people in the cottage were scared enough. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and the fire did not burn the entire walled gate.
This also happened to give the opportunity to not collect at night, and the night did not collect to seize this opportunity.
When Ye Bushu rushed to the door of the cottage with people, Liu Jing had no time to react, so she could only hurriedly give up fighting the fire and urgently organize people to resist.
The people who don't collect at night see the hope of breaking through the cottage, and they are motivated by the reward, and they all attack like chickens. With the help of the broken part of the walled gate, these bandits easily climbed onto the walled gate.
At the beginning, these reservists in the cottage could still resist with the help of wooden planks, but under the impact of those bandits, the defense line on the walled gate began to loosen, and many bandits took the opportunity to stand on the walled gate.
In the distance, Bai Lijian, who was always paying attention to the changes in the battle situation, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the opportunity that he had been waiting for for a long time finally came.
"Rush!"
With a shout, Mangula galloped away with the cavalry. Now the cottage is in urgent need of rescue, the entire defense line is in danger, once the cottage is breached, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Bai Lijian trotted all the way behind with his personal guards, while pressing for Mangula, and dealing with those bandits who were injured and did not play. Those who were seriously injured were directly slashed with a knife, and those who were less seriously injured were taken prisoners. There is a great shortage of people in the cottage now.
The sudden appearance of the cavalry team made Ye Bushu and Liu Jing a little stunned, and when they saw clearly who was coming, Liu Jing's tense expression finally relaxed, and turned to a happy face, loudly encouraging those reservists who were about to retreat, and struggling to block the attack of the bandits.
The face that doesn't close at night is much more ugly. Although the number of cavalry teams that suddenly appeared was small, only a few of the people who did not collect at night attacked the gate of the wall, and most of them were still under the gate.
But fortunately, these people were all under the walled gate, and the speed advantage of the cavalry could not be brought into play, so they hurriedly let the people under the walled gate line up with their backs against the walled gate to resist the rapidly approaching cavalry.
However, these bandits usually have no discipline at all, although they have tried their best to shout at night, but it still has no effect, but because of a few short-circuited guys in the brain, the team has been unable to stabilize for a long time.
Mangula galloped with the cavalry, and the huge pressure brought by the galloping cavalry made the already somewhat flustered team even more chaotic.
Just when everyone thought that the battle was about to start, Mangula and the cavalry team raised the bow and arrow in their hands when there were still dozens of steps or so away, and fired a volley at the people who did not collect at night, and then turned the horse's head, and the horse team of dozens of people turned around and ran away, leaving only there to look at each other, with an inexplicable face.
