Chapter 208: Fierce Battle
In the past two years of fighting with the official army, Xiao Tianjian has basically figured out the tactics of the official army, so even if he saw that the official army had put the long ladder on the wall, he did not show a trace of nervousness.
"Humph! It seems that the official army has made a lot of money! Then let's not be polite to them! Someone, give the order to lift the thunderbolt cannon up the wall, and ask them to taste the power of the thunderbolt cannon! When Xiao Tianjian saw that more and more officers and soldiers began to lean against the wall, he sneered and commanded the iron head who followed him.
Although the Iron Thunderbolt Cannon of the Xingtian Army has been used in the last battle with the official army, but this time to guard the Lotus Village, he did not allow a large number of uses of this kind of guy, what he wants is to give the official army an unexpected blow at a critical time, and today's situation is different from a few days ago, the official army has made up its mind to fight to the death, and he will naturally no longer be stingy with these iron thunderbolt cannons with limited hands, after an order, Tietou led a group of soldiers to carry the boxes of iron thunderbolts that had been placed under the wall onto the wall.
Seeing that the firecrackers could no longer stop the officers and soldiers from approaching, Liu Bao immediately ordered the firecrackers to turn to intercept and shoot, and specifically shot at the crowd of officers and soldiers about seventy paces outside the wall, blocking a large number of officers and soldiers from supporting the wall, and waved on the wall to wave a hundred sword players.
After these knife players stepped on the wall, without saying a word, they opened the wooden box placed on the wall, revealing a neatly placed iron thunderbolt cannon, stretched out their hands to grab it, and distributed it to everyone's hands, all of them held a fire fold, quickly ignited the cannon twist after shaking, and threw it down one by one under the wall.
I only heard a series of explosions under the wall, and the air wave even rushed directly to the wall, and immediately blew up the officers and soldiers crowded under the wall, and the stumps and broken arms flew everywhere.
Although the explosive power of the current iron thunderbolt cannon is not as good as the grenades of later generations, but each time it explodes, it can also produce more than ten pieces of shrapnel, which can be said to be the most suitable for dealing with such a dense crowd.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and a strong smell of gunsmoke, which made people feel sick, and all kinds of miserable howls filled the entire battlefield, making people feel a little hairy after listening to it.
The officers and soldiers were stunned by such a sudden blow, and the offensive that had just been organized was suffocated, in the face of such sharp firearms, they could not resist at all, although the wooden pole in their hands could block some of the thieves' guns, but it could not block the iron lumps that would explode at their feet, when even the hula retreated from the wall, so that their offensive had to stop, and the foot of the wall was covered with a dense layer of corpses of officers and wounded soldiers at this time.
With a wave of Liu Bao's hand, a team of Xingtian military troops rushed to the wall, holding a wooden fork to push down the long ladder that had been leaning on the wall, and fell heavily under the wall.
However, after all, there were a large number of officers and soldiers, and although such a counterattack caused considerable damage to the officers and soldiers, it did not completely suppress the morale of the officers and soldiers.
The artillery arrows of the two sides staggered in the air, and they fell on each other's bodies, and every moment someone fell in a pool of blood, even Liu Bao was careless, and he was also hit by an arrow, fortunately, he was wearing iron armor, although the arrow was not seriously injured, especially when two knife players were about to throw the thunderbolt cannon in their hands down the wall, they were shot on the wall by the officers and soldiers under the wall, and the two knife players did not have time to throw the thunderbolt cannon in their hands off the wall, and they rolled down on the wall. After only hearing two explosions, the Xingtian army on the wall of the wall also suffered, and was blown down in an instant, almost detonating a box of thunderbolts on the wall, fortunately, a team general reacted in time, flew to a box of thunderbolts, and blocked a lit thunderbolt with his body, preventing a disaster, but he himself was blown out by the thunderbolt cannon on the spot, and the entire abdominal cavity was blown open by the thunderbolt on the spot, and after the body fell in the wall, he suddenly lost his breath.
Zuo Guangxian was pale at the foot of the mountain, watching the attack that was finally organized to be repulsed, his heart seemed to be bleeding, he had never seen such a fierce counterattack, today he used almost all the strength at hand to press the most elite of the team, but he was still repelled by the enemy.
Zuo Guang gritted his teeth first, and ordered in a deep voice: "Give it to me again!" No matter how many people die today, you have to capture this lotus village for me! Take down the Thief Chieftain! Kill the violators! ”
As his order was handed down, the Chinese army at the foot of the mountain immediately sounded a burst of passionate war drums, and the rolling war drums soon spread to the mountain, and the faces of the officers and soldiers who were crowded and carried together changed slightly, and a thousand general scolded: "Damn, today's deputy general left is going to fight the brothers here!" Grandma's! Give it to Lao Tzu! No one is allowed to run for the fuck! Kill and avenge the brethren! ”
Dozens of frightened villagers didn't care so much, they all saw the sharpness of the artillery fire of the Xingtian Army, and they didn't plan to throw their lives here at all, they all turned around and ran down the mountain, but when they just turned around and ran not far away, they crashed into the knife edge of the Overseer team.
Zuo Guangxian's group of fierce and vicious overseers didn't care about 3721 at all, as soon as they saw that someone wanted to escape down the mountain, without saying a word, they raised their butcher's knives at these fugitives, and chirped these dozens of fugitives to the ground, and then collectively roared: "Deputy General Zuo has an order!" If anyone dares to flee from the battle, there will be no mercy! Give Lao Tzu to go back and continue to attack the mountain! If anyone dares to escape, these people will be the fate of you! ”
In this way, it really shocked a group of timid people, and in a daze, many officers and soldiers also made up their minds, raised their big shields again, covered their figures, and attacked the mountain again.
Seeing the officers and soldiers who came up like a tide again, Liu Bao glanced at his subordinates around him, under the fierce battle just now, although they killed and injured a lot of officers and soldiers, but the counterattack of the officers and soldiers was also quite powerful, which made the losses on his side really not small, especially the accidental bombing of a few thunderbolts, which caused him a lot of casualties, and the entire wall was covered with pieces of blood, and many recruits were looking at the crowded officers and soldiers below, and their faces were slightly discolored.
This kind of scene is too bloody, the dead corpses under the entire wall, the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air is mixed with a strong smell of blood, which makes people want to retch, especially looking at those stumps and broken arms, some soldiers simply vomited, and even the faces of some veterans who were drawn out to supplement their four battalions looked a little pale.
Liu Bao gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Look at your bear-like, isn't it just to kill more officers and soldiers?" Virtue one by one! Stand up straight for Lao Tzu, no matter how many officials and soldiers come, give Lao Tzu to kill them, and remember clearly for Lao Tzu, how Lao Tzu taught you before! The Musketeer prepares ......"
The official army braved the artillery arrows of the Xingtian Army, like a flood wave after wave of heavy slapping on the wall of the lotus village, splashing layers of blood, constantly being beaten down, and then surging up again, those long ladders were continuously transported up from the mountain, and more soldiers were driven up the mountain pass, supplemented to the attacking team, and replaced the defeated soldiers in a row, Zuo Guangxian also made a bloody capital this time, and did not care about the casualties paid by his subordinates, and was determined to break this thief army in a battle. Take down the thief leader Xiao Tianjian.
In order to suppress the resistance of the Xingtian army on the wall, Zuo Guangxian pressed almost all the archers and firecrackers at hand, and continued to pour towards the walled wall with the same fierce firepower, although the bow and arrow have been slightly backward in this era, but to a considerable extent, it still has a certain advantage, although the firearm is sharp, but the firing rate is far from exceeding the ordinary bow and arrow rate of fire, so in the face of the suppression of a large number of archers, the casualties of the Xingtian army on the walled wall are also increasing, more than a thousand generals, After repelling several fierce attacks by the officers and soldiers in a row, the casualties gradually became heavier and heavier, and the firepower advantage was gradually moved back by the officers and soldiers at this time, and the dense arrows and artillery arrows were sprinkled on the wall.
And Xiao Tianjian looked at such a scene, although he felt pain in his heart, but he never revealed the slightest intention of increasing troops for Liu Bao, and continued to pay attention to the entire battlefield silently, as if it was nailed to the gatehouse above the gate gate like steel pouring iron, with an immovable posture.
Liu Bao gritted his teeth, roared and pulled out his waist knife, flew up and cut down an officer and soldier who had just emerged on the wall, and shouted to the subordinates behind him: "Copy all the guys, and fight them for Lao Tzu!" ”
At this time, after more than an hour of fierce attack, the officers and soldiers finally paid a heavy price, won the initiative on the battlefield, the advantage of numbers at this time was also thoroughly exerted by them, more than a dozen long ladders finally set up the wall steadily, a large number of officers and soldiers howled and held shields with a single knife or simply held spears along these long ladders and climbed up, began to climb the wall.
So the soldiers of both sides immediately launched a bloodiest hand-to-hand battle on the wall, although the recruits of the four battalions have not been in the army for a long time, but they have also shown considerable combat effectiveness in the recent two wars, seeing Liu Bao personally draw his sword into battle, the soldiers of the four battalions shouted one after another, the knife copying knife, the spear of the gun, one by one like a vicious tiger pounced on the arrow stack of the wall, and these officers and soldiers who attacked the wall fought together.
Blood flowers rose on the wall, and the corpses fell down the wall, including the corpses of officers and soldiers, as well as the corpses of the Xingtian army, and the sound of weapons clashing came from the entire wall.
Even the firecrackers of the Heavenly Punishment Army stopped firing at this moment, stuck their bayonets in the front of the birds' guns, rushed forward with bayonets, and fought with the officers and soldiers who attacked the wall.
(I forgot to ask for a red ticket yesterday!) Hehe! Give a shout today! There is a gang scene with red tickets! Hehe! )
