Chapter Twenty-Eight: Zava's Resistance
Zawa is the number one landlord in Myitkyina, with tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, dozens of houses, hundreds of long-term workers, thousands of slaves, and more than 500 guards, making him the richest man after Sanda. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
There are also many landlords and old fortunes around Myitkyina County who are very uncooperative with the policies of the Huaxia Army, but these landlords and old fortunes have gone to report to Lord Yama.
After hearing the policy of the Huaxia Army, Zawa also knew that even if he cooperated with the Xia Hua Army, it would not end well, so he ordered the whole clan to take refuge in his own castle, and threatened to fight the Huaxia Army to the death.
Led by several Chinese compatriots, the soldiers of a company of the Huaxia Army came to the outer woods of Zawa's house.
Company commander Luo Dagui was very surprised when he saw the house of the Zhava family from afar, only the house of the Zhava family covers an area of dozens of acres, the architectural style is like a castle in the West, and it is very solid, and the walls are all cut of solid marble.
The Zawa family did not live in the county seat, but lived in the north of Myitkyina County, the castle covering an area of dozens of acres was built on the mountain, and there was a small river about 10 meters wide in front of it, which was not conducive to the strong attack of the Chinese army.
"Commander Luo, Lord Zawa is the second largest landowner in Myitkyina, not only owns countless fertile fields, but also owns a jade-rich mine. The castle was guarded by hundreds of guards and equipped with cannons and muskets. A Chinese man with a fine body said.
Luo Dagui nodded slightly after hearing this, the Huaxia Army has sent troops to carry out propaganda, and under the high-pressure policy of the Huaxia Army, many landlords are willing to hand over their fields and real estate to the government. Not only did Zawa not hand over the fields, but he also strengthened the guards of his residence. Observing through a telescope, Luo Dagui found that there was a castle on the city wall
Dozens of artillery pieces, and there were quite a few musketeers. Judging from this, Zawa must want to fight to the death with the Huaxia army!
"Erniu, I heard from them that you once went in to help the landlord of Zawa to work?" Luo Dagui asked.
"Yes, I'm a carpenter, and I once went in to help with the furniture work of the old man Zawa's house."
"Is the inside of the castle familiar?"
"I'm not familiar with it, after entering, I can only work in one yard, and I can't go anywhere else, otherwise I will be severely beaten."
Luo Dagui felt that it would be difficult for this castle to collapse the city wall without heavy artillery, and this castle was not much better than the city wall of Myitkyina, and even exceeded the height of the county city wall. IT WAS ALL MADE OF SOLID MARBLE, AND ONLY 60MM MORTARS COULD NOT SOLVE THE WALL.
"Li Xiaogang, you take a platoon of soldiers to the back mountain, and then pretend to take a feint! Oh! Turn the second and third platoons of mortars over too! ”
"Yes!"
"Second row, third row ready to climb the wall with flying claws!"
"Yes!"
"Four platoons of snipers are ready to cover the fighters who have captured the city walls!"
"Yes!"
Luo Dagui saw that this castle was at least seven or eight meters high, and he couldn't climb it at all without flying claws. It would be best if some of the guards could be mobilized to the west, to relieve the pressure on the Talon siege warriors.
Li Xiaogang, the platoon leader of the platoon, took a detour through the jungle with a platoon of soldiers, and it didn't take long to reach the back mountain.
After some observation, Li Xiaogang gave the battle order.
After the mortar was erected, the gunner lowered a shell from the barrel.
Mortar shells slipped down the barrels, clang! Boom! The primer of the cannonball was fired, and then flew out of the barrel and towards the castle.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! There was a loud bang, and the cannonballs fell on the roofs of several houses inside the castle and exploded.
The roof tiles were blown apart, and a large hole was blown into the roof.
When Lord Zawa heard the violent explosion, he immediately remembered that the county town of Myitkyina had been captured by the mysterious Huaxia army, and that the rich and powerful landlords had been captured and their fields distributed to the poor people. The explosion just now must have been an attack on their castle by the Huaxia Army.
"Master, there seems to be a Huaxia army on the mountain in the west, and they are shelling our castle!" A sturdy guard hurried to report.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Three more explosions sounded in quick succession!
"How many people are there in the Huaxia Army?" Zava asked anxiously with a worried look on his face.
"Master, I don't know yet, they are hiding in the woods, and they can't see clearly at all, but there are only three cannons!"
"Immediately transfer two hundred guards from the east gate to the mountain behind the west gate to defend it, and order the guards to shoot back with ephedrine!"
"Yes!"
The platoon commanders of the second and third platoons saw that the enemy above the castle had been moved away a lot, and that the defenders' attention was focused on the west, so they ordered a charge.
When the two platoons of warriors had received the order, they mounted the horned oxen, and after coming out of the woods, they began to rush towards the castle with their horses.
When the guards on the castle heard the footsteps of the horses, they immediately looked back, and when they found that the enemy was coming, they beat gongs and drums to warn them!
Four platoons of snipers were already in position, and their goal was to snipe the artillery men on the city walls.
Phew! A few shots rang out, and several artillerymen on the city wall fell to the ground.
Phew! ........。
In the blink of an eye, two platoons of soldiers rushed to a distance of about 20 meters from the city wall, only to see them fly and dismount, and then run towards the city wall.
Woohoo! The warriors threw their claws at the city walls!
"Up!"
Dozens of fighters began to climb up the rope.
Phew! The four snipers now have changed their target to snipe the musketeers on the city walls.
When one of the old Zawa guards stationed at the wall saw someone climbing the wall, he drew his scimitar and tried to cut the rope.
Just as he raised his knife, phew! A bullet hit him in the head, and he fell back unwillingly with his eyes open.
The seven or eight meter-high city wall is not difficult for the soldiers of the Huaxia Army who are equipped with martial arts, with the help of ropes, to climb it at all.
Soon, more than a dozen warriors climbed the walls, quickly drew their broadswords, and began their killing career.
Bang! Smoke rises from a musket in the hand of a guard, who is aiming at a soldier of the Chinese army who has climbed the city wall.
However, the iron sand of the musket hit a Chinese soldier on which soldier of the Chinese Army seemed to be useless at all, just breaking a few holes in the camouflage uniform outside.
"Youkai!" The musketeer was so frightened that he threw away his musket, and then spread his legs and ran away for his life.
Snort! A tall soldier of the Huaxia Army directly killed two enemies with a single sword.
Kill! As more warriors climbed the city wall, they were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, only to see a sword and sword shadow, only to see one enemy after another continue to fall, and a scream kept coming ...........
Although these guards of Zawa were also professionally trained, they were no match for the Chinese soldiers, and the soldiers were like chopping melons and vegetables, and those guards were either killed or fled in fright.
After the soldiers opened the city gates, the soldiers of the fourth row also rushed in.
