When Xiao Tianjian left Shuangfeng Village, he basically brought all the medium-sized artillery in the artillery camp on this side of Shuangfeng Village to Lotus Village, leaving only some short-range artillery such as old-style bowl-mouth guns and tiger squat guns and tassel guns captured from the officers and soldiers in previous wars, and even a lot of small Furlong machines, so these things basically have no chance of winning to suppress the official artillery team outside the village, but these old-style artillery pieces are very suitable for dealing with the officers and soldiers close to the wall. Each tiger squat cannon or bowl mouth gun can basically be loaded with dozens or even hundreds of small cannons, and when shooting at close range, it is as powerful as a broomstick and really terrifying.

The officers and soldiers did not know the power of this wall, and they swarmed up towards the wall with a big shield to cover their bodies, and what made them strange was that they waited until they approached the wall for sixty or seventy steps, and the defenders in the wall did not fire arrows, so their courage was stronger, and under the supervision of the officers, they shouted loudly and pounced towards the wall and the gate.

One by one, the officers of the Xingtian Army stared at the movements of the officers and soldiers outside the wall, and their mouths were not idle, shouting to the villagers under them: "Stabilize Lao Tzu, don't be in a hurry!" Listen to Lao Tzu's greeting and then do it together, there is nothing to fear from the officials and soldiers, after today, the brothers will be able to receive a large reward! ”

These villagers were very nervous, and while carefully probing to see the movements of the officers and soldiers, they clenched the weapons in their hands tightly.

After all, it is a township barracks, and the quality of equipment cannot reach the level of a war barracks, so the number of firearms equipped in the township barracks is very limited, and most of the township soldiers still use bows and crossbows captured by the Xingtian Army from the officers and local armed forces in previous battles, but even so, the quality of the equipment in the Xingtian Army township barracks is far beyond the general homeless army, at least everyone has knives, guns, bows and crossbows, plus Xiao Tianjian has been stationed in these township barracks A lot of capable soldiers serve as officers in the township barracks. Therefore, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

As more and more officers and soldiers approached the wall with big shields, Zhao Erdonkey roared hard: "Do it!" ”

The impatient village soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, heard the officer's order to do it, and immediately began to fire their bows and crossbows one after another.

I could only hear a bowstring on the wall, mixed with some sporadic bird sounds, and a rain of arrows immediately fell on the heads of the officers and soldiers approaching the wall.

Screams and angry scolding immediately sounded among the officers and soldiers, and many officers and men hurriedly raised their big shields above their heads, raised them high to cover their heads, and continued to approach the wall amid the shouts and curses of the officers.

It was only at this time that the officers and soldiers found that this kind of walled wall was very unfavorable for their attack, and they could not concentrate on one point to attack at all, but had to divide their troops into the recess of the wall, set up a long ladder, and climb the city, and as soon as they entered the recess of the wall, they heard a burst of cannon sound on the wall.

As soon as the gunners saw that the officers and soldiers had entered the depression of the wall, they lit the medicine twists together, and even though the old small cannons roared with gunsmoke, the dense scattered bullets splashed on the heads of the officers and soldiers crowded in the recess of the wall.

Even if they had a big shield in their hands, as long as they wanted to climb the wall, then their flanks and rear sides had to be exposed to enemy fire, and before they could erect the long ladder they carried, the officers and soldiers who poured into the depression paid a heavy price under the blows of the defenders.

An officer stood in the crowd and shouted hysterically, ordering his soldiers to quickly put up a long ladder on the wall and attack the wall, he also saw the danger of this wall, and knew that he could only wait for death if he stayed here, so he urged his officers and soldiers to quickly put up the ladder.

However, under such terrain and circumstances, it is a very difficult thing to put the long ladder on the wall, and arrows and projectiles are constantly falling from the top of the heads of the officers and men on three sides, so that they are almost unable to prevent it, and almost every breath, there are officers and soldiers who will be hit by arrows or bullets and fall to the ground, and some officers and soldiers who want to erect a long ladder have to break away from the cover of the big shield, and several times the long ladder is halfway erected, because the officers and soldiers are injured and let go, they fall back to the ground, not only do not erect the long ladder, but smash and injure several officers and soldiers.

And the officer in charge of the command, was also quickly targeted by the Xingtian army on the wall, several people almost at the same time to attack him, bird guns and crossbows fired together, and immediately nailed the officer who was jumping high command to attack the city under the wall, with the death of this officer, the officers and troops who forced into the wall became even more chaotic, and after a while, they could not bear such losses, and began to flee one after another.

Xu Dingguo has been watching the attack in front of him under the Shuangfeng Village, and he was still a little happy at the beginning, seeing that the progress was going very smoothly, and the basic mountain did not encounter how the thief army resisted, and his men pressed under the wall.

But the scene that followed suddenly made him feel like he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head for 39 days, and it was cold from his head to the soles of his feet, and he understood why this gang of thieves wanted to build this walled wall like this, it turned out that this kind of walled wall was not something that was made out because the builders did not know how to do it, but a very well-considered defense system, and it seemed that he was a little troublesome at this time.

He saw that the officers and soldiers who pressed up were screaming in despair under the wall, and after a short time they broke down, so he scolded hatefully: "Damn thief! It's so hard to deal with! Ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, change the team and go up again! ”

So another thousand-man team was sent up......

And when Xu Dingguo had a headache, the tiger Dawei in the east was also having a headache, he was in the area of the east gate of Shuangfeng Village, encountered the same problem as Xu Dingguo, in the face of this strange-shaped cottage, his first attack also failed, and the first wave of attacking generals sent by the defenders of the Xingtian Army fled back, the loss was not light, and the angry Hu Dawei stood outside the village and jumped to scold but was helpless.

After repelling the first attack of the official army, Li Xuanzhu took stock of the losses of the personnel on both sides, and after the statistics came up, Li Xuanzhu became happy, in the face of the two attacks, the losses of the township barracks of the Xingtian Army in the northeast and the two gates did not exceed 20 people together, and the loss of less than 20 people was still because of the limited training of the township soldiers, and in most cases it was casualties that should not have occurred.

However, the officers and soldiers had as many as 200 corpses in two places, not including the wounded soldiers who were injured and robbed, so Li Xuanzhu was very happy with such an exchange, so he personally went to encourage the township soldiers in the two township barracks.

In the following days, Xu Dingguo and Hu Dawei kept sending troops to attack Shuangfeng Village, and constantly changed their tactics, but in the face of the solid wall of Shuangfeng Village, no matter how hard they tried, Shuangfeng Village was always like a monster, lying on this Shuangfeng Mountain and not moving, Xu Dingguo and Hu Dawei were never able to attack the village.

In the face of the attack of the renovated officers and soldiers, the two township soldiers in the village gradually adapted to this tragic offensive and defensive battle, and began to grow up in the battle, and became more and more brave the more they fought.

For seven days, Xu Dingguo and Hu Dawei launched a fierce attack on Shuangfeng Village every day, but without exception they all ended in failure, but there were thousands of corpses under the wall of Shuangfeng Village, and the entire Shuangfeng Village under the wall was almost like a monster that devoured human life, and the lives of the officers and soldiers who were put into the battlefield were harvested away, and this place became a veritable meat grinder, in the face of such heavy losses and the strange wall of the Shuangfeng Village, So much so that later, even the army's heart couldn't help but start to be a little sluggish, as long as they heard Xu Dingguo point to them to go into battle, it was like a mourning test, and they couldn't take out any spiritual head, looking at this cottage, no one wanted to touch this hedgehog-like ghost cottage.

In order to appease the army, Xu Dingguo had to suspend the attack, and convened his subordinates to discuss how to break through this damn stockade, these generals who came with Xu Dingguo had different opinions, some proposed a night attack, some proposed to bypass the front and sneak attack from behind, and some simply proposed to give up attacking the walled walls on both sides of the northeast and climb up from some other places where there were no walled walls, in short, no one proposed to continue the frontal attack.

After Xu Dingguo hesitated for a long time, he finally adopted the advice of his generals and decided to send a strange army to go around the back of Shuangfeng Village and launch an attack from the back mountain.

So a group of about 1,000 officers and troops secretly left the camp, and with a few guides who were familiar with the local situation, they began to move towards the mountain, while Xu Dingguo and Hu Dawei continued to lead their troops to attack Shuangfeng Village from the front, so as to attract the attention of the Xingtian army in Shuangfeng Village and create favorable conditions for the success of the sneak attack.

But Xu Dingguo's sneak attack still failed in the end, because the back of Shuangfeng Village is also a mountain, and it is densely covered with mountains and forests, it is difficult to pass the brigade of people at all, not to mention, the Xingtian Army scattered many open and dark posts around the Shuangfeng Village, and the slightest movement of the officers and soldiers was immediately discovered by the sentry post of the Xingtian Army and transmitted it back to Li Xuanzhu in the village.

After hearing this, Li Xuanzhu sneered, and immediately personally ordered two sentinels to rush to the back mountain to ambush them, and when the army of about 1,000 officers and soldiers came out of the mountains and forests with all their strength, Li Xuanzhu did not give this group of officers and troops a chance to assemble at all, so he immediately gave the order to launch an attack.

Don't look at the manpower of Li Xuanzhu, but only 500 people, in the face of more than 1,000 officers and soldiers who want to sneak attack Houzhai, they show an absolute advantage, as soon as the war starts, the two hundred firecrackers of the Xingtian Army began to take turns to fire salvos, and those officers and soldiers who were huddled together fell in rows, although the officers and soldiers also resisted to a certain extent, but soon there was a rout because the main general was shot and fell to the ground, and then Li Xuanzhu led his troops to start a surprise attack, and the thousand officers and soldiers did not support it for long. was completely defeated by him, and they all turned around and plunged into the jungle, and each fled for his life.

Li Xuanzhu did not lead his troops into the mountains to search for the remnants of the enemy, but only ordered the township soldiers composed of hunters in the mountains to enter the mountains to clear these remnants, doing this kind of thing The regular troops are definitely not better than these hunters who live in the mountains and forests all the year round, Li Xuanzhu will not make this kind of mistake, and personally lead the troops into the mountains to clear the remnants of the enemy, so it is more appropriate to let these hunters do it, and what he should do is to keep the Shuangfeng Village from losing.

Xu Dingguo waited until the evening to learn the news of the defeat of the surprise army, and he couldn't help but be angry, in his eyes, with his current strength, even if he attacked a strong state capital and county, there should not be much of a problem, but in front of him this cottage that is not too big a thief, he has no way at all, which is really a little unacceptable to him.
