Chapter 199: Liangjiazhuang Resistance Battle

The herald immediately answered the order loudly, and ran forward to start the order, and soon a chief security officer ran behind the first chest wall with more than 300 village soldiers armed with bows and crossbows and three-eyed guns, and at the same time, some gunners also placed the three tiger squat cannons in the gap of the chest wall, and charged the ammunition and aimed it below.

Luo Li patted the chief security officer and said with a smile: "I said Lu Baochang, let you fight this first battle, so that the township soldiers can also see blood, and they will faint when they see blood in the future!" Hehe! It's just a mere 500 officers and soldiers, let's beat them down! ”

This Lu Baochang was a deputy general under Luo Li, because he had been seriously injured once, and after recovering from the injury, he often coughed up blood, and his body was not as good as a day, so he was removed from the war team and sent to this area as a chief security chief.

So he immediately nodded and smiled: "General Luo, don't rest assured, don't underestimate these village soldiers, the last time they saw blood with the general, they are not fucking cowards!" Look at ours! ”

After saying that, he shouted to the township soldiers who brought with him: "Listen to the township soldiers, General Luo has an order, let us be the first to go into battle and beat these officers and soldiers back!" Don't fucking lose us and the people of Shunxiang! Listen to Lao Tzu's password for a while...... Ahem...... Lao Tzu said that when he released the arrows, you guys were driving together for Lao Tzu! Did you hear it all? ”

When the three hundred villagers heard that they were going to fight in the first formation, they were both nervous and a little excited, so they shouted one after another: "The little ones have heard clearly! Lu Baochang just ordered it! ”

At this time, the five hundred officers and soldiers, with the sword and card players in front, had already begun to rumble towards Liangjiazhuang, seeing that the officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer, but the chief Lu Baochang had not given the order to release the arrows, and the villagers were holding their breath, sticking their heads at the feet of the carved arrows under the chest wall and staring at the officers and soldiers below.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers had approached fifty steps from the breastwork, then Lu Baochang suddenly shouted: "Shoot Lao Tzu!" ”

So the three hundred townsmen each copied the guys, bows, crossbows, firecrackers, three-eyed guns together against the group of officers and soldiers under the mountain to fight, this group of officers and soldiers also raised their shields at the same time, while blocking the arrows, while in front of the first rejection of the horse, the archers and firecrackers of the officers and soldiers were transferred up, and began to hit the mountain, for a time the arrows on the ramp flew sideways, all kinds of guns sounded in a mixed manner, spewing out a ball of fire.

After all, the township soldiers are hiding behind the chest wall, which is much more stable than the rattan cards used in the hands of the officials and soldiers.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qian general who led the team immediately ordered a retreat, robbed the bodies and wounded of his accomplices, and withdrew with a rumbling voice.

After Xu Dingguo saw this tentative attack, he ordered the troops to collect troops and set up camp three miles below Liangjiazhuang, and began to build a wooden tree overnight to deal with such a terrain, if only a thin rattan card could not stop the dense rain of arrows and crossbows, so if you want to capture this place as soon as possible, in Xu Dingguo's view, it is impossible not to pay a price.

Early the next morning, Zuo Guangxian also led his troops to arrive here, nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses were stationed under Liangjiazhuang, due to the restrictions of the terrain, the military tent stretched out for several miles, it looked so spectacular.

Xu Dingguo pulled Zuo Guang to take a look at the terrain of Liangjiazhuang, Zuo Guangxian also felt a headache, there is only one road leading to Yangcheng County in this area, and other places are either old forests or hills, basically there is no way to go, they have so many soldiers and horses and accompanying baggage, if they want to enter Yangcheng, they can only lay Liangjiazhuang, but the terrain here is really not conducive to their attack.

And because it is still the deep winter season at this time, the temperature at night is almost dripping into ice, at least minus one or twenty degrees, a little careless will be frostbitten, damn it is that the Xingtianjun is blocked here, last night actually poured a lot of water on the ramp leading to Liangjiazhuang, after dawn, the entire slope is shiny and shiny, it looks good, but it has caused more trouble to the officers and soldiers, and this is still a place with the sun back, the sun basically can't shine here in a day, Xingtianjun does this, It's really a lack of virtue to the extreme.

In desperation, the two had to discuss for a while, or to adopt the method of strong attack, concentrate the artillery of the two armies, and at the foot of the mountain aimed at Liangjiazhuang on the mountain, it was a good bombardment, so that the position of the Xingtian Army was littered with rubble and dust.

However, the Xingtian Army hid behind the breastwork, just didn't show their heads, and as they bombarded casually, they didn't be able to cause much damage to the Xingtianjun, but they just collapsed the first breastwork, but it didn't take long for the Xingtianjun who was hiding behind the breastwork to fill in the collapsed breastwork with sandbags, but the few horse-rejecting deer barricades on the ramp were damaged a lot by the fierce bombardment of the officers and soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers sent a team of officers and soldiers, carrying wooden trees the size of door panels, and attacked the mountain step by step under the cover of wooden trees.

However, as soon as they stepped on the ramp and stepped on the frozen ground, they slipped and did not leave their feet, and many officers and soldiers fell into a rolling gourd, and the originally tight wooden defense line was suddenly thrown into chaos, and the Xingtian army guarding it took the opportunity to beat this group of officers and soldiers down with a chaotic arrow.

As a result, Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian repeatedly sent troops to attack Liangjiazhuang for two days, and in addition to paying the price of hundreds of casualties, they hardly achieved any results.

Later, the officers and soldiers who suffered a lot of losses came up with a way, let people carry the wooden tree step by step towards the mountain, and someone behind them carried sand and soil, constantly sprinkling on the ramp to prevent slipping under their feet, so that the problem of slippery roads was solved, so that they could gradually attack under the chest wall of the Xingtian Army.

Until this time, Luo Li did not put the firecrackers in the battalion into battle, and always relied on the archers and firecrackers of the village soldiers to resist the attack of the official army.

After the official army organized three more attacks on the third day and was repulsed, Xu Dingguo was really angry and couldn't stand it, so he sent a thousand elite soldiers from the mountains on the left side of Liangjiazhuang, through the mountains and forests, and wanted to raid the Xingtian army stationed in Liangjiazhuang from behind.

However, the actions of the officers and soldiers fell in the eyes of the hunters in the mountains, and they quickly reported the news to Luo Li, who immediately led a sentry gunner and a sentry pikemen to the place where the officers and soldiers crossed the mountain, and after a firecracker, they beat the officers and soldiers back, and left more than 200 corpses on the mountain in vain.

It was only at this time that Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian discovered the strong combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army, although they defended according to the danger, but in the face of ten times the enemy army with a small number of troops, they showed a strong desire to fight, and after careful observation, they found that the Xingtian Army had resisted them in the mountain pass for three days It was not the regular army of the Xingtian Army, it looked more like an auxiliary army composed of some village warriors, and the real soldiers of the Xingtian Army only showed a small hand when they repelled the official army that tried to sneak attack.

From the officers and soldiers who fled back, they heard that the Xingtian Army had a large number of bird guns and equipment, and that they could form continuous firepower when facing the enemy, so that the officers and soldiers who attacked could not fight against them at all, so they were beaten on the spot and fled into the forest, and fled back.

It was only at this time that Zuo Guangxian and Xu Dingguo put away their contempt for the Xingtian Army and began to re-examine the thief army in front of them that blocked their way to enter the army.

To say that the official army wants to enter the boundary of Yangcheng, it is not that there is only one place in Liangjiazhuang, there are two places nearby where the official infantry can enter Yangcheng, but there is only one road, the official army this time with the army carried a lot of baggage and grain, must pass through here, if you do not bring these baggage, it is difficult for the official army to carry out operations in Yangcheng, and they are not at ease in having such a strong thief army behind them.

Therefore, after discussing and discussing, they can only adopt the method of strong attack, and only after conquering Liangjiazhuang can they dare to wave their army to enter the boundary of Yangcheng.

So in the next three days, Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian took turns to send troops to launch a fierce attack on Liangjiazhuang, and at the same time, they used all the methods of sneak attacks and night attacks, and they were determined to defeat this gang of thieves here.

In the face of the repeated onslaught of so many officers and soldiers, Luo Li led his generals to defend and not retreat, repelling the attacks of the officers and troops again and again.

In this way, when the officers and troops attacked, they paid a greater price, and in the face of the dense platoon of guns fired by the Xingtian Army, the officers and soldiers who rushed forward were often swept away in large areas, and then retreated.

Even if they carry a big shield, although the heavy wooden canopy can effectively resist the role of the Xingtian Army's bird gun, but it can't block the top of their heads, when the officers and soldiers carry the wooden canopy several times to attack more than 20 steps in front of the Xingtian Army's defense line, the Xingtian Army will throw some round smoking iron eggs from behind the breastwork, and smash them into the crowd of the officers and soldiers, and then there will be an explosion, when even the officers and soldiers are blown up, the shield array will immediately collapse, and they will immediately suffer from the Xingtian Army's platoon shooting, As a result, he could only fall short and roll down the mountain.

Luo Li's sentry will be like an iron nail nailed to Liangjiazhuang here, in a continuous period of seven days, so that Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guangxian's more than 20,000 troops difficult to advance, but in front of the defense line of the Xingtian Army, repeatedly frustrated, seven days down, the dead officers and soldiers Xiang Yong is almost close to a thousand, and many were injured by the Xingtian Army, in such a season, as long as they are injured, there is almost no chance of survival.

After paying such a price, more than 20,000 of them were stunned and unable to move an inch under Liangjiazhuang, and the angry Xu Dingguo and Zuo Guang first smoked at first, and even began to retreat.

But considering that they had so many soldiers and horses, they couldn't even take a small Liangjiazhuang, and they couldn't explain to Hong Chengchou and Wu Fu after they went back, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to attack, and both of them were ruthless, dividing their soldiers into several groups, adopting tired tactics, and throwing them into the battlefield wave by wave, and then going up again after being repulsed, and repeatedly attacking Liangjiazhuang.

And Luo Li led the soldiers and horses of the battalion, but on this not high hillside, like a poisonous tooth nailed here, fighting to the death, several times the officers and soldiers almost attacked the mountain, all of them were led by Luo Li himself in the way of white-knuckle combat, stunned to knock the officers and soldiers down, a few days down, the foot of the mountain is almost full of corpses of the officers and soldiers.

But on the morning of the eighth day, when Xu Dingguo sent troops to attack Liangjiazhuang again, Chen's Xingtian army stationed in Liangjiazhuang suddenly abandoned its position, and evacuated Liangjiazhuang in advance the first night, making way for this passage to Yangcheng.
