Chapter 710: Breaking In
At night, Tomakomaki has no noisy sound during the day, except for the sound of the wind, only the insects are screaming weakly. Autumn has arrived, and this is the last swan song of the summer insects.
"Click!" A soft sound sounded in the woods, followed by a low rebuke in the woods: "Be careful! Don't be discovered by outsiders, or Lord Buber won't spare us! ”
"Yes!"
More than 300 people in the forest led the war horses to the mountain forest, and they moved very carefully, for fear of waking up Toma Xiaomu in the distance.
When the group came to the edge of the woods and saw the stakes all over the ground, they could barely recognize it. In just over a month, this place has become like this.
The woods are the roots of the Anui people, and they cannot do without the food and various supplies that the woods provide them with every day. The Anui people couldn't live without the woods, and they looked at Tomakomaki who was faintly lit not far away, and the anger in their eyes grew stronger and stronger!
The group of people led the horses cautiously close to the fence, and everyone focused their attention on the direction of the fence.
Suddenly! A sharp brass whistle sounded in the night sky, like a boulder dropped on the surface of a silent lake, and the splash of water burst out far and wide.
Seeing the failure of the sneak attack, the Anui led by them simply turned over and got on their horses. He rushed to the front and shouted, "Warriors! Kill the enemy with me! Chase away outsiders! ”
The others also mounted their horses and rushed forward after the man. They weren't far from the fence, just in the blink of an eye.
Several gunshots rang out from the enemy's arrow towers, and some of the charging Anui were hit by gunshots and fell off their horses. The rest did not have the slightest fear, but increased the speed of the charge.
The Anui, who had approached the fence, took out a noose from his horse and put a glove on the wooden fence. Later, several riders did the same and put ropes on the fence.
Five or six war horses exerted their strength at the same time, and the business of dragging the wooden fence suddenly straightened up. Under the force of the war horse, the wooden fence was pulled out of the ground little by little, and the wood made an amazing tooth sore sound.
"Boom!" With a bang, the wooden fence was pulled down by a distance of three or four feet. Taking advantage of the fact that the Changxing Army soldiers did not react, the rest of the Anui rushed into the fence with a shout, and went straight to the wooden house in the distance to kill them.
The sound of the copper whistle sounded, and the lights in the camp of the Changxing Army were lit up one after another. In a large wooden house, Ma Xiaoliu was on the table looking at the sand table in Tomakomaki Port.
A short time later, a herald ran in, "Report! The fence in Area B was pulled down, and three to five hundred Anui cavalry rushed in. Zone B Requests Support! ”
Ma Xiaoliu looked at the sand table on the table and didn't speak, his brows tightened and he thought about things. After a while, he said, "Tell Lao Mazi!" Let him resist Lao Tzu, even if there is only one person left, he is not allowed to retreat! ”
"Yes!" The herald replied and trotted forward to give the order.
The Anui aren't crazy! Only so many people dare to attack Tomakomaki?
In order to facilitate command, the Changxing Army divided the port of Tomakomaki into five districts. Each district will have 300 soldiers in charge of defense, and the rest of the men and horses will all hit the center to protect the families of the soldiers.
Ma Xiaoliu just thought about it briefly and understood that although the Anui people used night raids, the scale of only a few hundred people was too small.
These people are more like bait for the mobilization of the Changxing Army, as long as Ma Xiaoliu sends people to support, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no Anui people in other places.
If the Anui broke into the family area and suffered heavy casualties, then he would be too derelict in his duty as the commander of Ezo Island. Not being able to protect his family was a deadly blow to morale, so he wouldn't send any reinforcements until the Anuj's intentions were known.
The wooden houses of the Changxing army were somewhat shabby, because the time left for them was very short. Once winter begins, the weather on Ezo Island can get very cold.
So in order to build a sufficient number of wooden houses on Ezo Island, which surrounded by the Anui people, in a period of time, the craftsmen came up with a good idea. That's to build a townhouse!
It is to build a house of ten rooms connected together, so that the middle wall of the house can be saved, and a lot of labor and wood can be left.
Therefore, most of the wooden houses here in Tomakomaki are like this, and the rows of wooden houses caused a lot of trouble to the Anui who raided.
If they wanted to attack, they could not disperse the few forces, and in the small spacing of the rows, it was easy for the Changxing army to form a blocking formation and shoot at the Anui.
Lao Mazi divided his men into six teams, except for a group of soldiers beside him, and all the rest were arranged to block the Anui cavalry assault.
Although the Immortal Gun is very good, it has a lot of discounts at night. In the face of the Anui cavalry, the scattered firing looked somewhat weak. The Changxing Army's squad, which was the first to intercept the cavalry, was almost completely wiped out and fell under the steel swords of the Anui.
Ding Tao had already fallen asleep when he received an attack on the camp of the Changxing Army, and he immediately got up when he heard the sharp whistle. The ten people who were also in the wooden house got up together, dressed in the shortest time, and went out to fight.
When he had gathered his squad of soldiers, he was ordered to immediately go to Area B to stop the fish that had slipped through the net. In the dark night, Ding Tao did not have a bright person to light the torch, and advanced towards Area B in the dark.
Listening to the sound of popping beans coming from the direction of Area B, and the sound of people shouting horses and neighing mixed with screams, everyone's hearts were a little nervous.
This was their first night battle, and they didn't know if they could hold back the Anui cavalry. If you let those savage guys rush over, you'll be in the family area.
There are wives and children there, and they must not be harmed in any way. As they ran forward, they faintly heard the sound of horses stomping on the ground.
"Line up! Reload and get ready to fire! Ding Tao immediately gave an order for everyone to prepare for battle, and he didn't know how many enemies rushed over in the dark night. In the event that unprepared foot soldiers were charged by cavalry, it would be a disaster.
Everyone waited in line for a while, and all that was left in the dark night was the sound of heavy breathing. Looking at the soldiers who are like facing a great enemy, if there is any wind and grass at this moment, it will ignite the emotions of the soldiers.
Ding Tao knew that the soldiers had to be asked to do something, and that continuing to wait would make the soldiers' tense limbs stiffen. He immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Fire on the shoulder!" The formation remains the same, and the target is to move forward in Zone B! ”
The whole squad was retracted under his command, and marched forward with neat steps. "Whew!" The sound of footsteps seemed to provide a sense of security to the soldiers, and the heavy breathing was not as heavy as it had just been.
