Chapter 259: Be Prepared
The stone ladder mountain military village is built according to the mountain situation, except for a very few courtyard walls, the vast majority of the walls are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The special geographical environment has created a special military village, and in the past days, the hard mountain rock has always been an excellent barrier for the Guangling army.
Since the establishment of the military village, in order to prevent trouble, Wang Teng has taken various defensive measures, however, only for the cave attack, Wang Teng is defenseless.
In Wang Teng's view, the cave attack is an offensive method only for the big city, and the Shiti Mountain military fortress is full of mountains and stones, as long as the enemy is not crazy, they will not make such a decision.
Unexpectedly, today, Haoge has taught Wang Teng a lesson.
There is nothing absolutely impossible!
If it hadn't been for Ma Wu's timely discovery, maybe the army would have encountered an accident.
blamed himself for being too careless, Wang Teng took a deep breath of cold air, "Yellow Tiger".
"The Last Will Be"
"Inform the whole army, and say that Jiannu intends to burn the city, so that they should not panic and quickly evacuate here."
"Whoa"
No one can say whether the courtyard wall will collapse, no, it's always right to take precautions.
Even if the wall does not collapse in the end, it is beneficial and harmless to inform the soldiers in advance so that they can take precautions.
Strange to say, the soft soil of the courtyard wall burned by Hauge is unique.
For Wang Teng, the courtyard wall must not collapse, once the courtyard wall dozens of steps wide collapses, the Jiannu outside will rush up.
10,000 elites of the Blue Banner, even if the Guangling Army is unstoppable, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape defeat.
It is necessary to take precautions and build an inner wall, otherwise, the safety of the military village will not be guaranteed!
Wang Teng was anxious, he knew that he was racing against time.
The walls of the courtyard can collapse at any time, and the longer the delay, the greater the danger.
"Hurry up and build the interior wall!"
Under the guidance of the soldiers, a large group of men and craftsmen rushed to the city, demolishing the nearby houses and building the interior walls as fast as they could.
Stones, bricks and wood, the hastily built inner walls are not strong, but they can block the soldiers of Jiannu.
Wang Teng regretted a little, he knew that the time was so rushed, he would definitely try his best to make cement.
It's good now, Jiannu has already been killed at the doorstep, and it's too late to invent and create.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and things like building courtyard walls are very difficult for idle soldiers, but in the eyes of craftsmen, this is the easiest thing.
As long as there are enough manpower and materials, it is easy to build a wall.
Under the watchful eyes of generals at all levels, various countermeasures were carried out in an orderly manner, but Wang Teng's face was still gloomy and he did not dare to relax for a moment.
Hunting geese all the year round but being pecked blind by geese, all along, only Wang Teng calculates other people's share, how can he ever be so dangerous to be calculated?
A trick "burning the wall" makes people scramble, if it wasn't for Ma Wu's timely discovery, it would have been broken long ago.
Wang Teng defended Guangling and forced Jiannu to retreat, and has become a well-known "anti-slave hero", if he is defeated at the door of his home, he will be discredited.
How to fight back?
Wang Teng pondered and meditated, but he couldn't find what to do.
At this time, Song Xiance said in a low voice: "My lord, Jiannu is treacherous, and he actually took a salary from the bottom of the kettle to do this, but we can also plan it."
Wang Teng was interested: "Oh? Will the plan be settled? ”
"The wall burning plan is too hidden, and Jiannu will definitely think that we didn't expect it, so most of them think that when the courtyard wall collapses, it will be the time of chaos for our army."
It makes sense, Wang Teng shook his head repeatedly, "So what?" ”
"If it really comes then, Jiannu will concentrate the elite and enter through the gap"
"Yes, do you have any countermeasures?"
Song Xiance said slowly, "My lord, the terrain of the military village is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as we are prepared and resist, even if Jiannu breaks the courtyard wall, it will not hurt."
Wang Teng disagreed.
Song Xiance said: "If the courtyard wall really collapses, the adults can make the soldiers pretend to be defeated and retreat, lure the slaves into the village, and when Haoge finds out that something is wrong, we can catch the turtles in the urn and kill them by surprise."
So that's it!
The operation is not difficult, and the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the cooperation between the soldiers.
The men and horses that lure the enemy deep and the people who ambush must cooperate properly, otherwise, it is very likely to be self-defeating and make jokes.
The Guangling army does not have the capital to fail, and if it is defeated once, the entire military village will be over.
However, in addition, Wang Teng did not have a better idea, so he could only choose to agree at the moment.
When the interior wall was built, Wang Teng left plenty of buffer space.
In other words, Jiannu will not notice anything wrong when they rush into the courtyard wall at the first time, and they will not notice it until they rush to a place a hundred steps away.
Hundreds of torches were mirrored, and hundreds of pace-long interior walls rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The inner walls are made of stones, no more than three feet thick, and cannot withstand strong impacts.
When the interior wall was one person high, Song Xiance suggested stopping the work.
Wang Teng was puzzled: "How tall is this?" There's still plenty of time, so why not keep it high? ”
"The inner wall was built in a hurry, and the firmness is not worth mentioning, and its function is to block the charge of the Jiannu cavalry, and it is not appropriate if the wall is high."
Wang Teng suddenly realized that what Song Xiance said was right, the inner wall was just the second reserve line of defense, and the purpose of its existence was to make Jiannu have to stop his rapid pace and climb over slowly.
If the city wall is too high, the inner wall will collapse if Jiannu pushes it together, so it is better to pile the inner wall thicker, so that even if Jiannu hits it with a log, the inner wall can last for a while longer.
As long as Jiannu slows down, the Guangling Army will use the weapons in their hands to tell them whose territory it is!
Inside the military wall, Wang Teng had already made a lot of preparations, and outside the city, Haoge stared at the city wall tightly, expecting it between his eyebrows.
In the dim light of the fire, the tall military village looked like a sleeping beast, and no one knew when it would wake up.
The lights in the village are bright, and looking at the appearance, the Guangling army is heavily guarded.
I only hope that the plan to burn the wall can be successful, otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to storm and capture the village.
Su Bai's eyes widened and his ears pricked up, just waiting for the loud noise.
Perhaps Subay's prayers had an effect.
In the middle of the night, there was a loud noise suddenly, "boom", the wall finally collapsed, and there was a gap in the fortifications that leaned on the barrier, and the Guangling army was frightened, if it wasn't for Wang Teng's advance notification, maybe the soldiers would have panicked.
Almost at the moment when the wall collapsed, Hauge gave the order for the army to attack.
The choking smoke rose into the air, and near the tunnel burned by the Houjin army, the thick city wall collapsed into a gap that was one zhang high and three zhang wide.
This gap is not wide, but it is not narrow, at least, compared to the insurmountable wall, this is already a rare shortcut.
Su Bai "choked" and pulled out the treasure knife in his hand, "The one who enters the village first will have a bounty of one hundred taels and an official promotion of three levels!" ”
Hauge also came to the front of the formation, "The warriors of the blue flag, success or failure in this move, dare to retreat, kill!" Fear the former, kill! Those who break into the military fortress will be rewarded! ”
The two killing words, and one reward word, greatly stimulated the Jiannu soldiers, and they shouted, for the reward of one hundred taels of gold, and also for the temptation of the official to be promoted to the third level.
The defenders at the head of the city seemed to be completely stunned, and they even forgot to fire the musket in their hands.
The opportunity is rare, and the Jiannu army will take the lead and rush to the forefront.
During the daytime fighting, Jiannu was physically and mentally exhausted, but after some rest, they regained a lot of strength.
Today, the plan to burn the wall has been completed, and the Houjin army has a high fighting spirit.
The night was deep, and although the round moon was shining a little cool, the darkness still greatly affected the vision of the defenders.
The Houjin soldiers were noisy, and they stepped over the jumble of stones, stepped on the discarded arrows and weapons, and rushed firmly but forcefully in the direction of the rising fire.
Far away, the Houjin army couldn't figure out how big the collapsed wall was, they only knew that rushing into the village was rewarded, and retreating back was only a dead end.
Su Bai, who insisted on fighting with his wounds, rushed towards the gap.
It's a pity that the war horse didn't see anything at night, and soon fell down only a hundred steps away from the city wall.
At this time, a sparse number of arrows finally came to the wall.
The defenders finally reacted and must rush into the city as soon as possible, otherwise, the longer it drags on, the greater the change!
Su Bai brandished a big knife with one arm, and said in his mouth: "Quick, kill in, kill the Bright Army!" ”
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The seemingly impregnable wall has collapsed!
Without a barrier, Mingren is just a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others!
The morale of the soldiers and horses of the Zhenglan Banner was high, and they followed in the footsteps of Subay, and soon came to the gap where the city wall collapsed.
Looking at this gap, which is not big or small, and can accommodate twenty sergeants at a time, Su Bai was very surprised: there were no defenders near the wall, could it be that the Guangling Army was really panicked?
Don't think about it, Su Bai luck dantian, "The warriors of the blue flag, charge with me!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, Subai stepped over the gap where the gravel was everywhere and was still smoking, and was the first to rush through the wall.
In a practical sense, Su Bai had already entered the Shitishan Military Village, but looking at each other from a distance, he seemed to see a black shadow not far away.
What is that?
"Commander, be careful!" If it weren't for the timely arrival of Su Bai's guards, I was afraid that Su Bai had already been hit by an arrow.
It's not good to be a teacher!
Su Bai was annoyed and angry, and rushed forward with more than 300 personal soldiers who had arrived.
However, the group had only walked two hundred steps before a new stone wall appeared in front of them.
The spirit spirit shuddered, and Su Bai couldn't help but think, could this be an urn city again?
Yesterday, the proud and conceited Du Jin had died on the battlefield because of the urn city of Guangling City, and there were a thousand elites who died with him.
Could it be that today, the bad luck has been transferred to Subay?
It wouldn't be so unlucky, would it?
In order to minimize the intensity of the attack, Su Bai did not light the torch, but moved forward in the dark.
However, at this time, it will not work without lighting the torch.
"Ignition!"
Suddenly, the guards lit the torches.
Then the flickering firelight, Su Bai saw the true face of Lushan on the inner wall.
Compared with the outer wall, the stone wall here is not very tall, and you can climb the top of the wall as long as you jump hard.
But what's on the other side of the wall?
Without waiting for Su Bai to come up with a reason, Guanglingjun shot!
The guards holding torches fell in response, and in all directions, the Houjin army held their breath and stared, for fear of causing another disaster.
Aggrieved!
Disgrace!
Subais is the Baturu of the blue flag, how can it be hindered by this?
Suddenly, several blazing torches were thrown from the east and west sides towards Subai's place.
"Commander, be careful!"
The sudden light completely dazzled Su Bai's eyes, and before he could recover his strength, he heard a scream behind him.
"Hide!"
Enraged, Subai rolled over and jumped onto the inner wall, but before he could jump to the other side, he heard the sound of several firecrackers.
Insidious Akito!
Regardless of the general's style, Su Bai rolled on a lazy donkey and returned to the inner wall again.
"Bang bang", the foothold of the right talent splashed with fire.
"Commander, are you alright?" Listening to the greetings of the guards, Su Bai was in a very bad mood, "The Ming people have already prepared, even the inner walls are ready, it seems that the wall burning plan has failed." ”
I had the intention to turn back to the outside of the village and discuss countermeasures with Haoge, but the Houjin soldiers behind him were confused and still rushed forward, and their appearance hindered the retreat of the front army.
No one realizes that something has changed ahead.
The cold wind howled, making Su Bai near the inner wall feel cold to the bone.
No, it was the Guangling Army that really made him feel cold, and under the moonlight, a large number of fire guns shot out.
The dense Houjin Ruishi couldn't dodge, just a salvo, and more than a dozen corpses were dropped on the spot.
You can't sit still!
Withdraw? Still not returning? Subay had the idea of retreating.
Originally, they thought that the plan of "burning the city" was foolproof, and they could take advantage of the chaos of the defenders to force their way into the city, but now, which bastard leaked the strategy?
Su Bai had the urge to scold his mother, and another round of torches was thrown, and this time Su Bai had experience, and he pressed his body tightly against the inner wall, trying to dodge the firecrackers.
However, at this time, Su Bai had a flash of inspiration, "Everyone, come with me to knock down the inner wall, as long as the wall falls, we can rush out!" ”
More than a dozen of the soldiers who followed Su Bai to rush the fastest had died, but more soldiers and horses who did not know the truth still rushed in from the gap.
Su Bai knew that if he stayed in the inner wall for a little longer, the soldiers behind him would lose one more point.
It must be broken through as soon as possible, the sooner the better!
"Pushing the wall?"
The newly arrived soldier looked confused, but the front troops who had seen the strength of the Ming people had already begun to push the wall hard.
"Push!"
"Push!"
More soldiers joined the ranks of pushing the wall, and the group worked hard to push the wall, and the torches of the Guangling Army were thrown again and again, and those indifferent and ruthless lead bullets fell along with the firelight.
The stone wall was built in a hurry, and hundreds of people worked together, and they soon succeeded.
"It's down," a surprised voice just came out, but suddenly screamed.
It turned out that the inner walls piled up by the Guangling Army were too thick, and a large number of stones fell to the ground with a bang after losing their support to each other.
Many Jiannu who couldn't dodge were thrown by the boulder and screamed.
(To be continued.) )
