Chapter 252: Holding the Villagers Hostage
Huang Hu has already entered the thief camp, even Zhou Yuji has achieved results, and when the Guangling Army faced Jiannu, everyone scrambled to be the first, and everyone was brave.
Du Jin's eyes were split, and he cut down one Ming army after another, but he could not save the defeat of his own soldiers and horses.
In his ears, there was the sound of the tragic death of his own soldiers and horses, Dugin was already going crazy, these more than 1,000 cavalry were the foundation of his life, if he fell, he would not have the slightest right to speak from now on.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the surrounding guards hurriedly persuaded loudly, "Master, quickly escape from here, there are too many Ming troops, and everyone can't stop it for long."
"Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, commander, a few of us are here to block the chasing soldiers for you, you quickly join the rear army"
"Don't hesitate, time is in a hurry, you can't delay, it's too late"
……
Within half an hour of the battle, Dugin's cavalry was in a desperate situation.
No matter how brave the flag is, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists!
Dugin realized that if he stayed here, there was a real chance that something would happen, and it was time to leave.
Before leaving, Du Jin looked around, "I will write down your kindness, and we will meet again in the next life!" ”
With that, Dugin pulled away and didn't even look back the whole time.
In the dark night, the Guangling army became more and more courageous, and they killed under the command of their respective generals, and after Du Jin fled, the bannermen were still trapped and fighting, and it was always difficult to form an effective threat.
After another half an hour, the Guangling army smashed through the enemy camp and successfully joined the division.
In this battle, most of the Houjin soldiers were killed, and only 230 people survived as prisoners, and for this, the Guangling army also paid no less than 300 casualties.
Of course, with the 1,000 war horses harvested, Wang Teng made a lot of money in this night attack.
When the two battalions of men and horses who went out of the city to fight at night turned to Guangling, the villagers who were awakened by the shouts of killing leaned out of their homes one after another.
Judging by the appearance, it should be the victory of the official army!
Look at those horses, when did Guangling come to so many horses?
Wang Teng is really a Jiannu nemesis!
After the victory, Guangling rejoiced all night, and the soldiers and civilians spent a sleepless night together.
Wang Teng tossed all night, and did not get up from the couch until the sun was three poles.
Last night, although Wang Teng did not take the lead and went to the battlefield with Zhou Yuji, he could stand on the top of the city to watch the battle, but his spirit was also highly tense.
Liukou can fail, Jiannu can also fail, only he Wang Teng can't fail!
The Guangling Army only has these 3,000 elites in total, and the last defeat means that a large number of elites are lost, which is unbearable for Wang Teng.
If the civil officials are defeated, they can still have the opportunity to make a comeback again and again, but if Wang Teng is defeated, I am afraid that many people will fall into the well and vigorously attack.
The crisis of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner, if Wang Teng can't be in a high position, how can he change history?
It's a long way to go!
There is no end to the struggle.
Wang Teng retracted his thoughts, washed his face and changed his clothes, and just when he had just eaten some meat, he coldly heard a report from Menzi: "My lord, a large number of displaced people are pouring out of the city, and Jiannu is driving them to attack the city."
It's too bad, these days Wang Teng is only concerned about hurrying, but he has forgotten the stubble of the strong wall and Qingye.
Right now, Jiannu is carrying the displaced people, how should this be good?
Wang Teng rushed out of the hospital, took the reins handed by the guards, turned on his horse, and only went to the city.
When Wang Teng came to the city tower, the dense villagers had already entered the range of the defenders.
As long as these people get closer, the gates of Guangling will be in danger.
Wang Teng was furious, and he roared: "What are you doing in a daze? Archery! ”
Tong always hesitated for a moment and said, "Those are all innocent people."
Zhou Yuji didn't say a word, but the anger in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Jiannu drove the people to attack the city, everyone had only heard of it before, but they had never seen it.
I thought that such a scene would not appear in this life, but who would have thought, but today Jiannu opened the eyes of the big guys.
Behind the homeless people, the army of brightly armored slave soldiers lined up, and Du Jin **** stood in front of the soldiers.
Last night, after Dugin and the main force of the Chinese army converged, he immediately swore an oath of blood and vowed revenge.
I don't know the appropriateness, Guangling County Commander also came to the city, he looked at the villagers under the city, and was very angry, "The king is guarded, the slaves are hateful, why don't you kill the slave army and save the people?" ”
Wang Teng was furious: "Lord Fei, I remember talking to you about this matter before, before Jiannu arrives, we must clear the wilderness and notify the people to evacuate here, and I ask you, have the people of Guangling withdrawn?" “
Guangling County Ling Fei Qing frowned, "Wang Shoubei, the evacuation of the villagers has nothing to do with you, as long as you repel Jiannu, the villagers will naturally be rescued."
Wang Teng sneered again and again, "Lord Fei really loves the people like a son."
Fei Qing brushed his sleeves away, all along, he regarded Wang Teng as a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh, and he couldn't wait to dispose of it quickly.
As for Wang Teng's suggestion, how could Fei Qing listen to it?
Wang Teng took a sip, he was completely disappointed in the incompetent Fei Qing, and after this battle, he wanted to get rid of this person no matter what.
If it weren't for Fei Qing's dereliction of duty, how could the villagers fall into the clutches of the Houjin army?
The villagers were getting closer and closer, and at this time, they were only thirty paces away from the city gate.
Not far away, Dugin was already smirking.
Let you Wang Teng be as cunning as a fox, in the end, you are not helpless by Lao Tzu's killer trick?
Dugin showed a hideous smile: "Pass my order, be ready to attack the city at any time, and after entering the city, you will not seal the sword for three days."
"Haha, Du Tong LinkedIn!"
The villagers outside the city, persecuted by Jiannu, wept bitterly and came to the city wall.
"Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows!"
"We are all Guangling people, don't kill me."
"Have pity on us, don't shoot arrows."
……
In desperation, the villagers pleaded.
The Guangling soldiers threw rat traps and did not dare to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
Shooting civilians is enough to ruin a person's reputation if it spreads.
However, now, Wang Teng can't care about so much.
The results of last night's battle have been counted, except for Dugin, the Guangling army killed 500 Jiannu, captured 230 people, and the rest of the men and horses escaped with Dugin.
Killing a thousand people is just a drop in the bucket for the Jiannu army, and after Dugin and the rear army round, it can be said that the strength still exists!
Wang Teng had no choice, "Pass my military order, release the arrow after three breaths, and the violator will be beheaded!" Tell the villagers outside the city that if they fall to the ground, they will be spared death! ”
"After three breaths, release the arrows, and those who ambush will not die!"
One after another shouts rang out, and the Guangling Army had already shouted as hard as they could.
However, the time of the three breaths is too short, and many people cannot react at all.
"Shoot!"
Tong has always received great favor from Li Xian, and he immediately bent his bow and arrows, and only took the Jiannu Daxu a hundred paces away.
"Doo!" The arrow went into the wood, still trembling.
What a lot of strength, what a lot of energy!
Dugin secretly took a breath of cold air, if the other party's target was himself, wouldn't his head also be pierced through the bone like a wooden pole?
No matter how hard your head is, you can still win wood?
Dugin was so humiliated by Tong that he was furious, and he roared hysterically: "Let those villagers hurry up, if anyone misses my big thing, I have to skin him and cramp!" ”
At the head of the city, the first wave of arrows of the Guangling Army had already poured down.
Guangling's military order was forbidden, before Wang Teng arrived at the city, the soldiers could not bear to hurt the innocent, and did not want to shoot civilians rashly, no one blamed them at that time, but now with Wang Teng's military order, and with Tong's consistent example first, the Shence army no longer hesitated, they closed their eyes and shot the bow and arrow in their hands.
The first wave of arrows was full of 500 arrows, and the people under the city were unarmed, and there were many unavoidable, and many people were killed by arrows.
At this time, Wang Teng shouted loudly: "Tell them, lie down, don't move, those who act recklessly will be killed!" ”
"Your Excellency has an order, lie on the spot, don't move without permission, and those who move recklessly will be killed!"
The Guangling soldiers at the head of the city did not want to kill more, so they shouted and shouted according to Wang Teng's instructions.
The villagers under the city were completely stunned, the group of people at the front of them had already approached the city, and no one expected that the officers and soldiers would actually shoot their bows.
The villagers who were killed by the arrow fell to the ground, and those who were injured were trampled by their companions, and died a terrible death.
"Don't shoot the bow, we are not Jiannu, we are the people nearby"
"Old men of the city, we don't want to die, we don't want to die"
"Jiannu put a knife on his neck, and if we don't come, we will die."
The crowded innocent people cried endlessly, forward is death, and backward is also death, and suddenly heard the shouts of the officials and soldiers at the head of the city, and many people subconsciously fell to the ground.
"Lie down, lie down, you can't die if you lie down"
Still, many more people stood still, terrified.
Wang Teng saw that a Houjin elite had carved out a bloody path with knives and guns, and they were rapidly approaching the city gate.
Once this group of soldiers and horses took advantage of the cover of the villagers to kill the city, the consequences were unimaginable.
If Jiannu broke in, the Guangling army would inevitably have to engage them in close combat, and Wang Teng didn't want to see that kind of scene.
"Where's the firebolt? Shoot! ”
Tong has always seen the army of slaves rushing forward, Dugin's intentions are extremely sinister, if the officers and soldiers care about the lives of civilians, it is obvious that this group of soldiers and horses will easily reach the city.
Without the threat of firecrackers, it is obvious that melee-combat defensive weapons such as boiling water and rolling wood and rocks alone will not be able to stop the invasion of a large number of enemies.
There are more than 4,000 Jiannu, but there are more than 10,000 rogues, and no matter how many rolling wood and stones there are, there will be a moment when they are exhausted.
Thinking of this, Tong always couldn't bear to dispel the little bit in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Shoot!" ”
The Guangling soldiers were stunned, but they had no choice, "Shoot!" ”
"Bang bang bang", hundreds of fire guns were fired in unison, and a huge amount of smoke was immediately raised.
Below, whether it was the villagers or the slaves, none of them could avoid it, and a large number of people fell.
The villagers rushed to the wolves, but unfortunately, there were too many people in the city, and they didn't even have room to dodge, so they could only close their eyes and wait for death.
Those who stood were more likely to be shot, and those who followed the orders of the officers and soldiers and crawled on the ground were much luckier.
With the exception of a few who were trampled on by their companions, almost no were shot and killed.
At this time, the officers and soldiers at the head of the city shouted again: "Get down, if you want to live, fucking lie down!" ”
With a role model to live, this time more villagers fell to the ground.
Before the military formation, Du Jinmo rubbed the scar on his cheek, which was a memorial left by the Guangling Army last night, and the wound was still hot and painful, but he didn't realize it, and all his attention had been focused on the troops who were dividing his troops to raid.
In order to distract the attention of the officials and troops to the greatest extent, Du Jin sent 500 men and horses, so that they could divide their troops into multiple routes, and wait for an opportunity to enter the city under the cover of the villagers.
The officers and soldiers may not care about the casualties of civilians and will not shoot them indiscriminately, but the bannermen under Dugin's command have no such concerns at all.
As long as the city can be breached, what is the death of thousands of villagers?
The Houjin soldiers who rushed to the city wall all opened the way with knives and guns, they didn't know how to be polite, as long as there were villagers blocking the way forward, they would cut them off with a knife without saying a word.
The number of civilians who died at the hands of the Guangling Army was only two or three hundred, while the number killed by Jiannu far exceeded six or seven hundred.
It was with the cover of the people that more than 500 Houjin soldiers were able to travel unhindered and quickly reach the city.
At this time, even if the Guangling army tried their best to shoot and block, but Jiannu was too cunning, they completely stepped on the dense corpses of the villagers, and the corpses of the villagers were their best cover.
"Boom!" More than a dozen of the strongest bannermen had lifted their heavy mallets and began to pound the gates.
The rest of the bannermen carried simple ladders and quickly came to the city.
At this time, there can no longer be the slightest mercy, otherwise, Guangling may really fall.
Wang Teng didn't want to joke with the lives of his own soldiers: "Rolling wood and stones, boiling water!" ”
In close combat, the Musketeers are no longer useful, and they retreat a few steps neatly to make room for their allies.
At this time, the Yellow Tiger Commander Sword and Shield Hands rushed up, and they took over the defense line of their companions, pouring boiling water down the city.
"Burn them!"
"Smash, smash me to death!"
"Here, cut the ladder, quick, cut the ladder!"
"Where's the hook and sickle? Quick, bring down the ladder! ”
To deal with Jiannu, the Ming army at the head of the city was a killer and had no mercy.
At the right time, the scene of Jiannu using the villagers as meat shields has angered every Ming soldier.
It was a living life, and he died in vain under the city.
The defenders were condescending, tilting their anger in their hearts with a variety of defensive equipment.
Boiling water, "snort" rolls off.
The boiling water falling from the sky poured the "wow" screams of the slave soldiers who were buried in the climb, and even if they had shields to resist, they could no longer hold the ladder with both hands, and immediately fell down with a scream.
Rolling logs, heavy and round rolling logs shook from one end of the city wall to the other, the smashed ladders staggered, and the Houjin soldiers, who had nowhere to focus in the air, howled in despair.
If it weren't for the dense crowd of their own soldiers and horses below, just this fall would be enough to break people's muscles and bones.
The stones, the round stones, and several people worked together to push down the city.
Like a snowball, after the three soldiers were killed, the base stone did not stop, still unstoppably crushing forward, along the way, there were blurred scenes of flesh and blood. (To be continued.) )
