Chapter 704: The Ants Attack the City (Page 1/1)

When he saw Hu Tieniu, the housekeeper was startled by Hu Tieniu's appearance, and the housekeeper who was huge and oppressed by Lao Hu's body felt a sense of breathlessness.

He reluctantly arched his hand and said, "Great King! Here are two hundred taels of silver, and two big fat pigs. This is a little bit of the heart of the town, and please smile at the king! ”

Hu Tieniu didn't speak, and looked the housekeeper up and down a few times. Finally, he came to the silver ingots slowly, reached out and picked up a piece of silver, put it on the mat with his hand, and said, "Just two hundred taels? Ask for rice Hanako! Grandpa Niu, I don't need silver for more than 3,000 people to eat?

Go back and tell the owner of your family, take out 10,000 taels of silver and 50,000 quintals of grain, and my people and horses in Niutou Mountain will turn around and leave. Otherwise, today I will let you know the power of the Bull Demon King on Niutou Mountain! ”

Hu Tieniu's figure and his fierce expression matched him with a fierce expression, he didn't need to act like a bandit leader who slaughtered people alive with a glare.

The housekeeper was frightened by the evil aura on Hu Tieniu's body and took a few steps back, and accidentally flattened his butt and fell into the sand and goose style. But the housekeeper ignored the pain in his buttocks and hurriedly returned to Fengjia Town.

The housekeeper who returned to the town breathed a sigh of relief, the thief called the Bull Demon King had put too much pressure on him, and he felt suffocated at that moment.

Seeing Feng Juren talk about the conditions of the Bull Demon King, Feng Juren smashed his favorite teapot at that time. He could have taken out 10,000 taels of silver, but 50,000 taels of grain was almost half of what he had saved.

A lot of the grain in it was purchased at a high price, and if it was given to the thief of the Bull Demon King, the Feng family would be broken. If you don't do it, you will be in a state of collapse from now on, so it is impossible for him to agree to such harsh conditions.

For now, the only way to do this is to give it a go, hoping that his men and horses can hold on until the arrival of reinforcements from the county seat. As long as he can repel this thief, he will definitely mobilize his connections and let the court send troops to exterminate this thief.

When Hu Tieniu saw the housekeeper go back, he knew that it was impossible for the other party to agree to such conditions. Let his soldiers prepare for the siege of the city, and immediately someone will prepare a dozen or so ladders that have been prepared. Just waited for Hu Tieniu to give an order, and immediately attacked the city.

Only 1,000 of the 3,000 men were veterans of the Changxing Army, and in order not to expose their targets, they did not change into the iconic cuirasses and helmets of the Changxing Army.

Everyone wears the same bamboo armor woven from bamboo strips as the recruits, and although it is only bamboo armor, it can also be used to defend against chopping.

If you encounter a strong bow and a spear thrust, there is no way, even the cuirass of the Changxing army cannot completely resist such an attack at close range, let alone the crude bamboo armor.

Hu Tieniu arranged the veterans of the Changxing Army under the city to cover the recruits to attack the city, and the archers on the fort wall at sixty paces could not shoot so far.

However, the immortal guns in their hands can accurately hit the enemy, and at this distance, the Changxing army can easily suppress the defenders on the fortress wall, allowing the recruits to smoothly climb the fortress wall and fight hand-to-hand.

Looking at the thieves who were about to move under the fort wall, Feng Juren said to the leader of his food protection team: "Beat hard!" Kill a thief and reward five taels of silver! ”

"Thank you, sir!" The people of the grain protection team shouted excitedly when they heard Feng Juren offer such a high reward, such a high reward is rare, killing a few more is comparable to their hard work for a long time.

These people are all guards hired by Feng Juren at a high price, and now that Shandong's grain is expensive, it is inevitable that someone will hit Feng Juren with the idea when transporting grain.

Therefore, every time Feng Juren transports grain, he will send a large number of good hands to transport it, and the grain protection team of hundreds of people is a bandit and a horse bandit, and they dare not start easily.

Recently, the grain protection team has just delivered a batch of grain and is resting in Fengjia Town. If this thief had come a few days earlier, Feng Juren would have to be arrested.

There was no shortage of good men who used bows and crossbows in the food protection team, although the Ming Dynasty did not allow private owners to own bows and crossbows. But in Shandong, where Xiangma is full of bandits, this ban has long been like waste paper.

If a big family doesn't have a few bows and crossbows, how can they resist those ubiquitous ringing horses! Feng Juren's food guard team has more than 60 hard bows, which is also where his confidence in guarding Fengjia Town lies.

Hu Tieniu ignored Feng Jiazhen's preparations, in his opinion, a small Feng Jiazhen was not worth paying attention to at all. If it weren't for the blood of the recruits, the veterans would have been able to take the town with a single charge.

The attacking bronze whistle sounded in the ranks, and a thousand veterans came sixty paces outside Fengjia Town with firearms in their hands. In the astonished gaze of the archers of the food guards on the fort wall, he raised the fire gun in his hand.

"Firebolt! The thief has a firecracker! ”

"Where did this thief get so many firecrackers?"

……

Amid the astonishment and chatter, the firecrackers under the fort walls opened fire. These veterans of the Changxing Army were completely self-possessed, and they did not use the firepower of the three-stage attack to suppress the city's head at all.

This kind of one-sided slaughter did not take into account the fact that the bow and arrow would attack the soldiers who fired under the fort wall, so the shooting of the veterans was also extraordinarily casual, exactly like shooting a target in peacetime.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ......" The sound of guns sounded like popping beans under the fort wall, and the archers of the grain guards on the fort wall were not aware of the danger at all, and still pointed at the fort wall.

When "Whoosh! As the bullet sounded in their ears with a whistling sound, they looked at their companions in horror. The screams instantly spread throughout the fort wall, and in an instant, more than a dozen people were hit by the bullets and fell to the fort wall screaming.

Now the people of the food protection team are dumbfounded, what kind of fire is this? Why is there such a long range? Before they could think about it, another brass whistle sounded under the fort walls.

The recruits rushed to Fengjia Town against the ladder, and without the suppression of the archers on the fort wall, they easily rushed to the bottom of the fort wall.

Ladders were erected on the fortress wall, and the first sword and shield hand to rush forward held the steel knife in his mouth according to his usual training, held the shield in one hand to protect his head, and climbed the ladder with the other.

The food guards and young men on the fort wall looked stupid, why did the thieves put the ladder on the fort wall in a blink of an eye, and the thieves rushed up without doing anything.

The captain of the grain guard was so anxious that his eyes were round, Fengjiazhen was broken, and their group of guards was not much better. He picked up the pitchfork in the hand of a young man and yelled, "What are you doing standing stupidly? Wait for the thieves to come up and hack you to death? Follow me! ”

He aimed the pitchfork at the ladder and forked it up, and with the help of five or six young men, he pushed the ladder away from the fortress wall little by little. Amid the frightened cries of the three recruits, the ladder was pushed and fell under the fort walls.

Seeing this, the others immediately learned from the example of the captain of the grain guard and pushed the ladder away. The recruits under the fort wall were not to be outdone, and as soon as they saw the people on the fort wall pushing the ladder, more than a dozen people immediately came up to support the ladder that was about to be pushed away.

The two sides engaged in a battle above and below the fort wall, and the masonry that had been temporarily carried onto the fort wall was thrown off the fort wall, smashing the heads of the recruits below.

In an instant, the attack around the fort wall of Fengjia Town entered a white heat, and Du Ziteng looked at the cloud ladder that was constantly overturned and said, "Our experience is still too little!" ”
