Chapter 62: Siege (Part II)

In the entire Xixiang, since only Fan Yong led the troops to attack the city alone, the siege of Hushan was handed over to Fan Yong by Liu Ye for command. The rest, such as Tang Jue, Xu Ji and other senior military attaches in Xixiang, studied on the side. Observing a day on the battlefield is far better than studying at home for a year.

Fan Yong was excited to be able to serve as the commander of the siege this time. After all, as a newcomer, he was able to press the old man to serve as the commander of a large-scale battle of more than 500 people twice in a row. This not only represents Liu Ye's trust in him, but also a recognition of his ability. What is there not to be satisfied with as a military attache with little ambition?

It has been more than three months since Fan Yong became a high-level executive in Xixiang. In the past three months, as a high-ranking person in Saigo, he has already known how great Saigo's war potential is. It can be said that if Saigo develops like this for another three or five years, he will have the strength to avenge him. So he desperately wants to show his worth. Troubled times are all about profit. As long as he shows high enough value. He believed that his lord would not only help him avenge himself, but even agree to support the marriage of his two daughters. In troubled times, although the door is important, the interests are more important. Therefore, for this siege battle, Fan Yongmao was full of energy to perform well, although he was a little strange about the orders given by his own lord before the battle. However, he will still abide by it, 'soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty' Fan Yong felt that what the lord had said was very reasonable.

"The well cart was pushed to fifty paces, and the archers attacked with a shot. Drumming! Fan Yong, who boarded the nest car (a kind of command vehicle), ordered.

"Knock knock!" Four bare-chested men used all their strength to begin to hammer the giant drum rhythmically.

The well car can be seen as a moving arrow tower. Not only can a crossbowman be placed on it, but even a bed crossbow can be installed on it. The threat to the defenders is very high, but the well carts move very slowly, and can easily be burned by fire oil. It's a pity that the Fox Mountain thieves don't have the courage to dare to attack the village with fire oil.

The well cart made by Saigo is relatively simple, and only a dozen short archers can be placed on it. Xixiang's well chariot is about a zhang higher than the wall of the fox hill, and the short archers standing on the well chariot can calmly shoot arrows at the fox mountain thieves. However, the Fox Mountain Bandit Archers need to shoot from their backs in order to shoot the Saigo Short Archers.

When the cart was pushed to fifty paces, Saigo's archers began to attack in the chariot. Accumulation is a dense attack. However, the fox mountain thieves on the opposite side seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and immediately erected a large shield. The Fox Mountain Thief's shield looked like a door panel that had just been removed. Although it doesn't look good, the effect is still good.

"Change the rocket! Short archer shoots three times in a row. Fan Yong saw the poor performance of the short archers with the monoculars temporarily granted by Liu Ye on the nest car, and immediately ordered.

"Whoosh!" Three rounds of rockets flew into the interior of the fox cottage. The role of rockets is not to kill, but to create riots. Many of the houses in the Fox Cottage are thatched huts, and they are just a little bit. Soon, more than a dozen gray smoke slowly rose. The inside of the fox cottage was also suddenly restless, and the chickens and dogs jumped up.

That's what Fan Yong wants. Nodding with satisfaction, he continued to order, "Short archers attack freely. The No. 3, 4, and 5 wells cooperated with the convoy to attack the Zhaimen. ”

Soon after, the threat of the well car was too great. The Fox Mountain Bandits also organized archers to fight back, intending to burn the well car with rockets. But Saigo had expected this for a long time, and the front of the well was wrapped in wet cowhide, and the rest of the place was also watered before the war. It doesn't burn at all.

Just when the archers on both sides came and went, falling in love and killing each other, Xixiang's most threatening convoy to the Hushan pirates also slowly drove to the front of the walled gate, because the Hushan thieves did not have drawbridges and trenches and other defensive facilities to protect the walled gate. Xixiang Chong's convoy directly launched an assault on the Fox Mountain Bandits' walled gate.

In the face of the continuous shooting and suppression of the three well cars, the fox mountain thieves on the walled tower could not raise their heads at all. Not to mention drawing a bow and releasing arrows, you can't even throw a stone down to stop Saigo from slamming the convoy into the door.

The surrounding Fox Mountain Thief Archers released arrows to stop it, but faced the heavy defense of tower shield + double armor. With the fox mountain bandit's weak bow and arrow, unless it hits a gap in the armor, it will not hurt at all. Instead, the short archers on the rest of the wells seized the opportunity and shot a lot of them dead.

"Knock open the walled door, hurry up!" As the commander of the rushing convoy, Yu Yu shouted.

More than 40 strong men pushed the car together and crashed into the walled gate.

With a "bump", the car crashed directly into the gate of the village. However, the strange thing is that the gate was not loosened by the rushing car. Nothing at all.

"Hit it again, and give Lao Tzu all his strength." Yu Yu yelled.

With a "bump", the car crashed into the gate again, but the gate still didn't move. At this time, Yu Yu was not annoyed, but calmed down. Yu Yu thought to himself in his heart: With two such powerful impacts, it is impossible for this kind of walled gate not to loosen at all! Unless......

Yu Yu suddenly thought of a possibility that Fan Yong had told him before the war. The gate has been blocked by boulders, and the gate cannot be opened at all.

After figuring it out, Yu Yu shouted, "Stand back!" Back off! The gate has been blocked. ”

"Fire oil stepped forward and burned the gate of the village."

Although Yu Yu couldn't open the gate, they could burn it. After all, the gate is made of wood. And the gate has been blocked by rocks. The Fox Mountain Pirates were unable to reinstall the new gate after the war.

The fox mountain thieves on the walled floor were quite happy to see that Xixiang Chong's convoy could not open the gate of the walled village. I saw two people holding the jar and holding torches below. It's a fool who knows what to post.

But without a strong crossbow, they couldn't break through the heavy defense of Saigo's convoy.

"Quickly pour water on the door of the village, go!" At the critical moment, it was the great leader of Fox Mountain, Suning, who stood up, holding a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right hand and shouting.

However, the water was poured a little late, and the fire had already burned, and the water could not extinguish the fire started by the oil, but it still had some effect. At least some of the gates were still retained, and they were not completely burned. You can still send someone down to fix it at night. (There is a walled gate to prevent the stones blocking the door from being removed by Saigo.) )

……

Time flies, and the Fox Mountain Thieves, under the leadership of Suning, stubbornly blocked the onslaught of more than 600 foot soldiers of Xixiang for nearly two hours. I stayed up until noon. Due to the extremely hot weather, in order to prevent the soldiers from suffering from heat stroke, Fan Yong had to collect his troops and return to the camp, leaving some time for the Hushan thieves to breathe.

"I didn't expect your second brother to really have two brushes!" Looking at the retreating Xixiang siege troops, Liu Ye sighed with emotion.

"Of course, I don't look at whose second brother it is." Su Qing puffed up his chest proudly and said.

Due to the relatively hot weather, Su Qing did not wear armor, and only wore a white silk coat like Liu Ye. Su Qing's chest was straight, and the pair of rabbits that were usually covered by the wide white silk clothes also showed their prototypes. made the pervert Liu Ye on the side suddenly have a dry mouth.

To be honest, Liu Ye, who hadn't eaten meat for several days, had long wanted to vent his anger with this little goblin. But this clever little goblin disappeared without a trace at night, which made Liu Ye angry.

While Su Qing was watching the battle unprepared, Liu Ye sneaked up from behind and succeeded. In order to prevent this little goblin from escaping again, Liu Ye directly bit Su Qing's cute little ear.

After the key point was controlled by Liu Ye, Su Qing's originally stiff body suddenly softened. Liu Ye, who had been holding back for several days, took the opportunity to get his hands on and off his hands and get over his addiction first. Liu Ye was surrounded by white-robed guards, and in the face of the murderous combination of Su Qing and Liu Ye, they didn't dare to chew their tongues, and now they all looked around, pretending not to see.

"Fulang, how do you arrange someone's second brother?" Su Qing, who was held in Liu Ye's arms, was a little flushed.

How is it arranged? Liu Ye thought to himself. Judging by Suning's performance this morning, he doesn't seem to be a person who rests on his laurels. Actively commanding the defense on the wall of the Fox Mountain Fortress, in addition to wanting to gain the trust of the rest of the Fox Mountain Thieves, of course, he is also showing Liu Ye his ability.

"What will your second brother do?" Liu Ye asked casually. But there is no idle hand.

"The second brother is good at commanding the strong crossbow." Su Qing knocked out someone's lustful hand and said.

"A strong crossbow?" Liu Ye asked rhetorically.

"Yes, my Su family's ancestors have produced several strong crossbow generals. Left a lot of formations and experiences about strong crossbows. My second brother is very knowledgeable about the use of crossbow arrays. If the second brother had a strong crossbowman today, he would not have been pressed so badly by Fan Yong. Su Qing explained.

"So-and-so now knows how to arrange your second brother." Liu Ye said with some joy.

"What position?" Su Qing said with concern. After all, she has a good relationship with Suning.

"I won't tell you, it's just a good errand!" Liu Ye said mysteriously.

"And now? I want to clean up your little goblin first! Liu Ye suddenly changed his style, picked up Su Qing and ran directly to the woods not far away.

"Great pervert! Let go of people! That's what I want to do in broad daylight! You're such a big pervert! Su Qing struggled. However, her ears were caught by Liu Ye, and she couldn't use any strength at all, so she could only increase the interest of a certain pervert in vain!
