Cui Shanhu is the third generation of Waxi Wagangzhai, originally this Wagangzhai is not the largest cottage in Yongan, in his father's hands Wagangzhai is not called Wagangzhai but Waxi Village, at that time Waxi Zhai did not have so many people, only two or three thousand people.

Actually, Zhang Bin is also mistaken, this Yong'an thief has never been suppressed, he was suppressed once in the early years of Wanli, otherwise, Yong'an is more than such a thief, there were several cottages of tens of thousands of thieves at that time, but unfortunately it was not wiped out that time, and the thieves slowly developed and grew.

Wagangzhai is taking advantage of this opportunity to rise, Cui Shanhu is a literate thief, at that time his father just caught a showman, not willing to kill, so he was a gentleman, since he was a child to teach him to read and write, his cultural skills are still quite good, as soon as his father died, he immediately changed Waxi Village into Wagangzhai, and began to loot wildly.

He not only robbed traders, robbed civilians, but also robbed other cottages, because he was suppressed once in the early years of Wanli, several tens of thousands of bandits were disabled, and his two or three thousand people became a relatively large one, plus he also knew a little about the art of war, and the bandits in ten miles and eight towns were all beaten by him all over the ground looking for teeth, and his team slowly grew to tens of thousands.

After the Apocalypse Dynasty, he actually rarely went to loot, because he basically didn't need to loot.

The surrounding local tyrants and squires are all his friends, and he helps these people to enclose a lot of land, and these people will give him dividends every year;

The surrounding civilians were also scared by him, and they would pay protection fees every year;

The nearby bandits were also frightened by him, and they would honor him every year;

The vendors who often pass by also know how powerful he is, and pay him tolls every year;

The government was also settled by him, and the commander of the nearby guard post and Qianhu also called him a brother and brother, in short, he was like a soil emperor, just waiting for someone to pay him money, and only occasionally found that a trader who had not paid the toll had beaten Waxi, he would send someone to loot.

However, he is not worry-free, there is one thing he is very unhappy, maybe he has done too much evil, he has no offspring.

He is not satisfied, the people around him will suffer, for the whole offspring to come out, he forced the people of each circle to send him a concubine, the general is not good, he must see the eye, if he can't see the eye, he will give people to his subordinates, force others to send again!

At this time, he has dozens of concubines, and he is busy making people every day, and other things are basically handed over to his younger brothers.

On this day, in the morning, he had just come out of his favorite concubine's room, thinking that he had only tried the newly sent concubine, and unconsciously ran to the little girl's room, ready to build her again, but unexpectedly, just pressed the person on the bed, a panicked voice suddenly sounded outside: "Big boss, no, the officers and soldiers are coming." ”

When Cui Shanhu heard this, he immediately left the little girl, lifted his pants and roared: "What are you panicking, how many officers and soldiers are coming." ”

The little boss outside continued to panic: "I'm afraid there won't be tens of thousands." ”

Cui Shanhu continued to reprimand angrily: "What are you afraid of, the art of war is cloudy, five are to surround it, ten are to attack it, he can tens of thousands of people to capture our cottage, come to the ghost, go back and guard it well, I will come over immediately." ”

When the little leader heard this, he hurriedly said yes and ran away.

At this moment, Cui Shanhu yelled at the crying little girl on the bed: "What are you crying about, hurry up and dress Lao Tzu, do you want Lao Tzu to let you go back and leave?" ”

When the little girl heard this, she hurriedly got up, picked up her clothes and put them on him.

After getting dressed, Cui Shanhu pinched the little girl's face and praised: "This is good, wait for the master, wait for the master to kill those officers and soldiers and then come to get you." ”

When the little girl heard this, her face changed in fright, but Cui Shanhu laughed loudly, turned around and walked away.

Why is he so confident?

Because his cottage is too dangerous, it is difficult to take it.

Wagangzhai is built in a huge valley, the left and right sides of the valley and the rear are cliffs, the entrance of a mile wide in front of the city wall has been built with a height of three zhang, three zhang high, unless the officers and soldiers can fly, otherwise how to attack in!

Of course, the officers and men can't fly, and Zhang Bin didn't build an airplane at this time, and he couldn't fly, and he was using a telescope to observe the wall of Wagangzhai on a hill more than two miles away from Wagangzhai at this moment.

This city wall is indeed a bit troublesome, too high, if you build a ladder, I don't know how much time it will take, the city gate is a good breakthrough, because the city gate is wooden, pour some oil, light the fire to burn it.

It would be nice if there was a Wuhan Iron and Steel car, just send someone to push the Wuhan Iron and Steel Car to rush to the city gate, pour oil on the city gate, light a fire, and wait for the city gate to burn out, and then push the Wuhan Iron and Steel car to rush in.

It's a pity that because the mountain road is too difficult to walk, the Wuhan Iron and Steel car can't be pushed in at all, so he didn't let people bring it over, and the tiger squat cannons were all dismantled from the gun truck and carried over.

It's really a bit difficult to do, it seems that the only one is hard.

He swept around with his binoculars, and then ordered: "Xianzong, you take a thousand men and carry two hundred tiger cannons to climb to the hill one mile to the left of the city wall and stand by; Zhenzong, you take a thousand people and climb to the hill one mile away on the right side of the city wall with two hundred tiger cannons and stand by. ”

Qi Xianzong and Qi Zhenzong said goodbye and obeyed, and led people to climb the hills on the left and right with tiger squat cannons.

Zhang Bin immediately ordered again: "Yuanfu, you take all the sword and shield hands to line up in front of the city wall, and prepare to raise your shield and rush to the front of the city wall for a hundred steps; Yuanbi, you take two thousand musketeers in four rows behind the sword and shield men, ready to shoot continuously at the city walls. ”

Qi Yuanfu and Qi Yuanbi said goodbye and obeyed, and led people to set up a formation in the valley in front of the city wall.

Zhang Bin then ordered: "Yuan Gong, you bring a tank of fire oil, get ready, once the thieves on the city wall are overwhelmed by the fire and can't raise their heads, you immediately rush to the city gate hole and set the city gate on fire; Changshan, you and the rest of you set up behind the musketeers, ready to charge. ”

Qi Yuangong, Qi Changshan and the others obeyed the order, went down to prepare, and Zhang Bin, Qi Fanghua and a bunch of guards were left on the hill.

At this time, Qi Fanghua couldn't help but complain: "Husband, why did you let my eldest brother rush under the city gate alone, it's too dangerous." ”

Zhang Bin smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, your eldest brother is wearing armor, and the bandits don't have muskets and artillery, so bows and arrows can't hurt him." ”

At this time, Cui Shanhu was also looking at the Qi family army on the city wall, but he didn't have a telescope, he could only see it with the naked eye, he saw thousands of Qi family troops climbing on both sides of the mountain from a distance, and couldn't help but look back at the cliffs on both sides of the valley, dozens of zhang high, can people climb down from it?

He really didn't dare to guarantee it, because he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, he thought that the Qi family army was carrying a rope or something, if there was really such a long rope, he could really climb down from the cliffs on both sides of the valley.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Rats and fat cows, each take a pound of people to guard under the cliffs on both sides, and be careful that the officers and soldiers put ropes from the cliffs to climb down." ”

The rat and the fat cow are naturally not animals, but the leaders of his subordinates, and he gives the twelve leaders of his subordinates nicknames according to the zodiac signs, so that they are easy to remember.

A pound of people is a thousand people, and the rats and fat cattle were ordered, and immediately went down to organize men and horses to wait under the cliff.

Immediately afterwards, Cui Shanhu saw that the sword and shield men and musketeers began to set up a mile outside the city wall, he couldn't help frowning, how could he go up the city wall without a cloud ladder, what did this officer and soldier want to do?

After a while, the other four thousand Qi family troops also lined up behind the musketeers, and he was even more inexplicable, the three-zhang high city wall, hard rush, how could he rush up!

He thought for a moment and simply ordered: "Tiger, come forward with sword and shield hands, rabbits, line up behind sword and shield hands with archers, deaf people, prepare to roll stones and wood." ”

There are 3,000 people on this city wall, and he prepares a thousand sword and shield men, 1,000 archers and 1,000 spearmen, this defensive strategy is not a problem, if the Qi family army is all cold weapons, 9,000 people will definitely not be able to rush up.

Zhang Bin saw that the Qi family's army was almost ready, and immediately ordered: "The artillery on both sides is constantly bombarding, sword and shield hands, musketeers, charge!" ”

Behind him, a command flag waved, "boom, boom", and a huge roar of artillery immediately sounded on the hills on both sides, and the entire valley echoed for a long time.

Hearing the sound of cannons, Cui Shanhu's face changed wildly, the Ming army actually had so many artillery, and it was in trouble.

Before he could figure out what to do, there was a "snap", and the shield of a sword and shield hand in front of him was smashed and torn apart, and the sword and shield hand flew upside down in response, and blood spurted wildly from his mouth.

The screams on the city walls rang out, and at least two or three hundred people were killed and wounded!

Cui Shanhu looked at all this with a frightened face, and the whole person was almost stunned.

At this time, the sword and shield men and musketeers below had already begun to charge, and he hurriedly ordered: "Stand, stand, prepare to release the arrows." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, "boom, boom", there was a huge roar of artillery on the hills on both sides, and countless shells flew over, and he was so frightened that he immediately lay down under the arrow stack and shouted: "Quick, hide, hide!" ”

It's a pity that there is such a big place on this city wall, and it is impossible for all the people to squeeze under the arrow stacks, and two or three hundred people screamed and flew out upside down.

Cui Shanhu was really frightened now, how could he fight this, people's artillery was loaded too fast!

He took advantage of the gap to look under the city wall, and the sword and shield men and musketeers below had already rushed to less than two hundred paces from the city wall, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Archer, get up and release the arrows, quickly." ”

The thieves didn't seem to dare to disobey his orders, and when he roared, the archers immediately stood up and were about to release arrows under the city wall, and there was a burst of gunfire, and the archers who stood up were suddenly splashed with blood, and fell to the ground and howled.

Cui Shanhu didn't react to what was going on, "boom, boom", and a huge roar of artillery sounded on the hills on both sides, but at this time, half of the people on the city wall were about to be lost, and the arrow stacks were barely squeezed down, so this round of artillery did not cause many casualties, but the bandits didn't dare to stand up anymore, Cui Shanhu didn't know what to do, so he could only lie under the arrow stacks and wait in horror for the next move.

At this time, Qi Yuangong suddenly rushed out from behind the sword and shield hand, flew into the city gate hole with a few arrows, smashed the oil tank in his hand to the city gate, and then took out the fire fold, and set the city gate on fire with a few clicks.

"Boom, boom", a huge roar of artillery sounded on the hills on both sides, Qi Yuangong pinched the time and quickly retreated behind the sword and shield hand.

Zhang Bin looked at the city gate that was slowly burning in the telescope, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, look, I said that your eldest brother is fine, there is no archer showing his head to shoot him at all." ”

"Boom, boom", soon the fifth round of artillery sounded again, Zhang Bin looked at the city gate, and then ordered: "Order the artillery on both sides to load ammunition and wait for orders." ”

At this time, Cui Shanhu on the city wall finally felt that something was wrong, because he was above the city gate, he had already smelled the smell of wood burning, and at this time, he saw the green smoke coming out of the city wall, and he finally knew that this was the city gate being lit!

In trouble, the city gate was about to be burned, and he immediately shouted: "Tiger, you are guarding here, and you will go down with me, poisonous snakes." ”

With that, he gritted his teeth and got up, and rushed quickly to the bottom of the city wall, and the seven or eight figures behind him also quickly got up and rushed down with him.

Fortunately, at this time the two hundred guns were reloading ammunition and were not ready to fire at all, so he did nothing and quickly rushed to the bottom of the city wall.

He ran behind the city gate to see that the city gate, which was a foot thick, was about to be burned through, and green smoke was rising from the cracks everywhere!

What to do, take water and pour it?

It can't be poured at all, the fire is burning from the outside.

He glanced at it a few times, and immediately stomped his feet and said: "I'm afraid the city gate won't last long, poisonous snake, you bring the rest of the people over, line up behind the city gate, and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

When the other leaders heard this, they hurriedly ran into the valley, and in a short time seven or eight thousand people came running one after another, crowding the back of the city gate.

At this time, both sides were silent, and the eyes of tens of thousands of people were fixed on the city gate, just waiting for the moment when the city gate collapsed.

After about a quarter of an hour, the gate was finally badly deformed by the fire and collapsed, but the fire was not extinguished, and it was still burning there.

Zhang Bin looked behind through the city gate, and when he saw the secret head behind the city gate, he immediately smiled evilly: "Order, let the artillery on both sides aim at the area behind the city gate, and prepare to fire." ”

The two guards immediately flew out and ran towards the hills on both sides of the city wall.

After another quarter of an hour, the fire at the city gate was finally slowly extinguished, and Zhang Bin immediately ordered: "The herald foot soldiers stepped forward and clinged to the sword and shield hands to form a mandarin duck formation, and the musketeers retreated to the back of the mandarin duck formation and faced the city wall to prepare to shoot." ”

Two more guards flew out behind him, and in a few moments the footmen below were running forward at a rapid pace, and the musketeers behind the sword and shield men quickly retreated, and the large array changed in an instant.

Zhang Bin then ordered: "Order, artillery on both sides will be bombarded non-stop." ”

The command flag waved, "boom, boom, boom", and a huge roar of artillery sounded on the hills on both sides, and the shells flew directly into the pile of people behind the city wall, and the seven or eight thousand bandits suddenly became a mess.

Cui Shanhu's frightened face changed again, he thought about it, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, all squeeze under the city wall." ”

Seven or eight thousand people, how could they be completely squeezed under the city wall that was only one mile wide, under his order, everyone desperately squeezed under the city wall, and the bandits who were sticking to the city wall in front of them were suddenly squeezed so that their intestines were about to rush out!

"Boom, boom, boom", the roar of artillery on the hills on both sides continued to sound, and the bandits behind the city wall were bombarded more and more chaotically.

As soon as the fifth round of artillery was over, Zhang Bin immediately ordered: "Mandarin duck formation, rush." ”

"Rush." The mandarin duck array in front of the city wall was launched, and the tide went to the city gate.

The bandits on the city wall still wanted to fire arrows and throw stones and trees, but as soon as they stood up, they were splashed with blood from the musketeers under the city wall, and after a round of bullets, no one dared to stand up again.

As soon as the five mandarin duck formations in front of them squeezed into the city gate, Cui Shanhu immediately urged the bandits to swarm up, and the two sides finally met each other.

At this moment, the gap was immediately revealed, the Qi family's army mandarin duck array was in front of the sword and shield hand, the people who swept on it couldn't open their eyes, the spear stabbed underneath, but the thieves swarmed up, and there was no discipline at all.

This is simply a massacre, the bandits fall in rows, and they can't form an effective attack at all, because their weapons are not a foot long, and they can't reach the soldiers of the Qi family army at all, but the mandarin duck array of the Qi family army is closely cooperating and constantly squeezing forward.

There were more and more mandarin ducks squeezing into the city gate, and the bandits kept retreating, and in less than two quarters of an hour, the bandits had fallen thousands of people, and they didn't know who shouted, "Run." The bandit suddenly retreated like a tide.

The soldiers of the Qi family army did not chase fiercely, but kept the mandarin duck formation moving forward one by one, and slowly, the street battle began, and the chaotic flat rooms in the Wagang Village were full of Qi family soldiers and bandits who were fighting each other, and the scene was chaotic.

However, the Qi family army has always maintained a mandarin duck formation, and the bandits have rarely been able to break through the barrier of wolf and spear, and the battle has always been a one-sided slaughter.

The shouting lasted for about an hour, and at noon, the valley finally quieted down, and the Wagang village was broken!
