Chapter 25 Plugging
The archers of the Jin soldiers also approached under the walled wall at this time, struggling to cover their people to attack the city, and the arrows were sprinkled on the wall.
The entire western wall of the wall has become a hell on earth, and the small Qifang Town is like a boat drifting in the huge waves in the torrent formed by the golden soldiers, and it seems that it will be subverted at any time.
All kinds of shouts filled people's ears, and Gao Huaiyuan, Zhou Hao and others ran back and forth on the wall, commanding their soldiers to fight the enemy in the countryside.
Seeing that the situation on the walled wall was critical, the people below were also red-eyed, and transported all kinds of materials and resources to the wall, barrels of hot oil, bundles of shuttle guns, and stones......
And after these things were sent to the wall, they were thrown off the wall in an instant, and the battle had reached a fever pitch by this time.
After some wooden ladders were put up on the wall, they could not be pushed down for a while, so there were golden soldiers and ants attached to them, but immediately someone would split their heads and use stones or shuttle guns down, so the injured golden soldiers immediately fell on their backs in the crowd below.
Some of the golden soldiers had just climbed halfway up, and they were burned by the boiling oil poured on their heads and howled to their bones, and then a torch was thrown down, and a fire was rising under the ladder, and the west wall was full of smoke, and the burning wooden ladder was like a big torch crackling.
But even so, seeing that the Jin soldiers who had been pasted to the wall of the village still did not retreat, and continued to climb towards the wall of the wall, and gradually after the casualties of the villagers on the wall increased, there were still Jin soldiers who climbed the wall.
After a golden soldier climbed the wall, a shot stabbed a villager who was rushing towards him to the ground, jumped over the breastwork and stepped on the wall, but he didn't hold on for two seconds, and was immediately shot in the chest by a veteran soldier who came with a gun, pushed him backwards and hit the chest wall, and immediately climbed out of the chest wall and fell down the wall.
Seeing more and more Jin soldiers put ladders on the wall, and even Jin soldiers used their bodies to lie down under the wall to build a human ladder, carrying the follow-up Jin soldiers to impact the wall, and the Jin soldiers also saw that the wall of Qifang Town was not strong, so they sent more people, carrying a few newly cut logs, rushed towards the wall, and hit several weak points of the wall one by one.
Gao Huaiyuan was anxious, the determination of the Jin army to attack this time made him start to panic a little, this kind of battle was also the first time for him, it was much more tragic than the last battle at the tiger's mouth! Every thud sounded like it was knocking on his heart.
Even he was a little flustered at this moment, not to mention the other villagers, some of them began to show desperate eyes, panicked and didn't know what to do!
Seeing that it was getting late and the sun had basically set, Gao Huaiyuan crossed a heart, gritted his teeth and jumped on the chest wall, kicked a ladder over, and several golden soldiers who were clinging to it immediately screamed and rolled into the crowd, fell heavily to the ground, and struggled to get up.
"Afraid of what? The Jin army is also at the end of the crossbow, and they have killed more people than us! Brothers, copy the guys, they come up to one, let's kill one of them, and see how good they really are! Lao Tzu is not afraid, are you afraid? Gao Huaiyuan shouted hard to the surrounding villagers.
Hearing his voice and seeing him leap onto the chest wall at the risk of death, some veterans and teenagers who were mixed with the chaos immediately shouted in unison: "We are not afraid! the Golden Dog! ”
As soon as they shouted like this, it really boosted morale again, and many villagers also shouted: "We're not afraid!" With the presence of a high commander, we are not afraid of anything! ”
With the morale of the people encouraged again, the villagers then summoned up Yu Yong, and once again frantically fought with the Jin soldiers who were besieging the city, and the instantly increased firepower made the Jin army's offensive suffocated, and immediately lost a group of Jin soldiers, and the shouts of killing resounded in the sky.
Seeing that the situation was stabilized again, Gao Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to pull out an arrow on the back shoulder armor, although his actions just now boosted morale, but became the target of the golden soldier archers, and he was hit by a few arrows at once, fortunately, there is a layer of leather armor in this mountain armor, blocking the arrows, otherwise, this time he would be shot into a hedgehog!
"Boom ......" There was a roar in the northwest direction, and after Gao Huaiyuan killed a golden soldier who had just emerged on the wall in front of him, he hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and as a result, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
In the setting sun, a small section of the walled wall over there, finally unable to withstand the golden soldiers*, collapsed for a short time, a large amount of dust rose to the sky, and some villagers on it exclaimed that they fell down with the collapsed wall, and were buried in the mound by the way.
And Jin Bing saw that this section of the walled wall fell, so he immediately gathered over there, trying to attack the town from this gap immediately, Gao Huaiyuan felt that his head was a little dizzy, and the thing he was most afraid of in his heart still happened, could it be that Qifang Town was broken like this? Is this the end of my own people?
Before he could rush over, he saw a group suddenly appear in the town, led by a young officer with a spear, and swoop towards the gap.
The group of soldiers, all dressed in armor and armed with spears, rushed quickly to the collapsed gap, and under the command of the young officer, he shouted: "Thorn! ”
The twenty pikemen in the front row stabbed their spears into the gap at the same time.
Some of the golden soldiers who had just poured into the gap couldn't stop the spears that stabbed like a forest at all, and they were stabbed over in one fell swoop, but as soon as they fell, the golden soldiers behind them poured in again.
"Thorn!" The young officer shouted again, and the pikemen stabbed the spears they had withdrawn again......
"Thorn ...... Stab...... Under such a monotonous order, these pikemen robots kept collecting their guns, stabbing out, collecting their guns, stabbing out ......, reciprocating reincarnation, like an impregnable embankment, blocking the gap, and after a while, the gap was full of golden soldiers who had been stabbed to death.......
The most effective way is to transfer the archers over and shoot these pikemen with bows and arrows, but at this time they can't bring the archers over, because the archers have suffered a lot of losses at this moment, and they are all at the back of their crowd, and they can't squeeze in the chaos at all.
Gao Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, Huang Yan, this kid finally played a role, his kid is really a good hand at learning guns, even his subordinates are pure spearmen, when the mouth is blocked, it is really easy to use!
Huang Yan stood on the side of the team with a cold face, constantly shouting orders, ordering the pikemen formed by his subordinates, and every time someone fell, he immediately ordered the people behind him to fill the position, repeating this, firmly controlling this gap.
"Where's Fat Zhou? Where did this damn Fat Zhou run? Why haven't you brought someone to gag it yet? Gao Huaiyuan yelled.
Originally, according to his arrangement at this time, once the wall was broken, Huang Yan would lead the troops to block the Jin army, and Zhou Fatzi should lead people to immediately plug the gap with sandbags and other objects, but at this time, there was no figure of Zhou Fatzi, and there was a lot of chaos in the town.
Gao Huaiyuan was furious, grabbed Li Ergou, who was passing by him, handed him his dragon scale treasure knife and said, "Give me to find Zhou Fatzi quickly, and let him immediately lead someone to gag him, and if he is a little neglectful, he will cut him on the spot!" ”
Li Ergou froze slightly, but immediately took over Gao Huaiyuan's treasure knife, didn't even take the stairs, jumped into the town in depth, and fell to the ground on the eaves of a roof close to the wall, and then rushed out wildly.
At this time, Gao Huaiyuan really couldn't leave here, otherwise, he would definitely go and cut down Zhou Fatzi in person, but he also knew that he was the main general and the backbone of everyone here, once he disappeared, then this place would collapse immediately, so he could only let Li Ergou do this for him!
At this time, Zhou Fatzi saw that the town could be unsafe at any time, and he was immediately scared to pee his pants, where do you remember Gao Huaiyuan's confession! After finding a house with no one at home, he plunged into it, found a piece of tattered clothes in it, changed the official uniform of the county lieutenant on his body, filled it in the hearth, and smeared a handful of ashes, and hid in the house, trembling and praying, only that after the Jin soldiers invaded the town, he would spare his life when he was a civilian.
In addition to not being able to find him at this time, the other three escort teams were still busy, but no one thought of summoning people to plug the gap, so this matter was delayed.
After Li Ergou received Gao Huaiyuan's order, he didn't dare to delay a little, ran around the town, and asked if he saw Zhou Fatzi, and after a while, he really asked him to ask the right person, and after a forty-year-old villager was stopped by him, he immediately pointed to a small courtyard and said: "Just now, I saw Zhou County Lieutenant enter here, and I never saw him come out again!" The official might as well go in and find it! ”
Li Ergou kicked the courtyard door of this small courtyard, half of the door panel fell into the small courtyard with a bang, a frightened chicken fluttered up, panicked from Li Ergou's crotch and ran out to the street, Li Ergou didn't say a word, kicked open the doors of the three rooms one by one, and finally pulled out a black-faced fat man in the firewood room in the corner of the courtyard.
If it weren't for the familiarity of this person from his figure, Li Ergou really wouldn't dare to recognize him, but after grabbing him, County Lieutenant Zhou exclaimed, "Has the town been breached?" Let go! Let me hide first......"
Li Ergou is really mad, his young master led people to fight bloodily on the wall, but this Zhou Fat Man is hiding here, and he is dressed like a begging for food, the whole person who is greedy for life and afraid of death is really damned!
So he laughed evilly, and with a crunch, he pulled out the dragon scale treasure knife that Gao Huaiyuan handed over to him, pressed it on Zhou Fatzi's neck, and said angrily: "Get up and go out for the little master!" ”
The sharp blade of the dragon scale treasure knife on his neck immediately made this Zhou fat man half frightened to death, and he didn't dare to struggle, while following Li Ergou, who was covered in blood, towards the door, he stammered and reprimanded him: "You...... You are bold! You...... Dare to commit the following crimes? You...... You...... Don't you want to live? ”
Li Ergou didn't pay attention to him, and dragged him to the street like a dead pig, and the people who were busy around immediately saw them, and they were stunned and gathered around.
Li Ergou smiled at Zhou Fatzi again and said, "Since you want to rest, then the master will let you take a good rest!" I'm sorry, the master wants to borrow your head! ”
After speaking, he shouted angrily to the people around him: "This thief is a county lieutenant, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death, disrespects orders, and changes his clothes to try to hide. ”
Zhou Fatzi was frightened at this time, and exclaimed: "Spare your life!" I don't dare anymore...... Ah......h
Li Ergou didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, before he finished shouting, the treasure knife in his hand waved hard, only to see a flash of cold light, a stream of blood arrows immediately shot into the air, a huge human head flew into the air, Li Ergou did not wait for Zhou Fatzi's head to fall, so he stuck the tip of the knife on his head and held it high.
"Everyone has seen it, this is the end of greed for life and fear of death, now you immediately carry the bag of earth and stones with me, go to block the opening, and if anyone dares to hesitate at all, I don't recognize people with this knife!"
Everyone gasped, Lieutenant Zhou was also a decent official, and this young man really cut him when he said that he would cut him, and there was anyone he didn't dare to kill! So he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Li Ergou towards the gap, Zhou Fatzi had actually arranged for someone to pack a lot of soil and stone bags just now, stacked them everywhere, Li Ergou took these villagers to immediately carry these bags, and rushed towards the gap.
At this time, Huang Yan was still leading his reserve team to fight fiercely with the Jin soldiers at the gap, and as the Jin soldiers repeatedly attacked, the casualties of his men became more and more, and he was a little unable to hold it at this time, and after seeing Li Ergou rushing over with people, he was suddenly overjoyed.
"The brothers on the wall are one after another, hurry up and release arrows to block the golden soldiers, so that our people can block the mouth!" Huang Yan shouted loudly to the people on the walls on both sides.
Naturally, there were teenagers who followed him above, and immediately beckoned the villagers under him to turn around collectively, bows and arrows, shuttle guns shot fiercely, and several township soldiers at the corner even turned a bed crossbow around, aimed at the gap, and in the arrow pocket that had just been installed, filled with a large arrow, and then immediately knocked down the bracket, so this from the arrow and the rainstorm swept through the gap, Shengsheng swept down a piece of the Jin soldiers blocked in the gap, and with their joint efforts, the Jin soldiers had to temporarily retreat.
At this time, Li Ergou led Xiang Yong to pounce up, and threw the sacks on his shoulders into the gap one by one, regardless of whether there was a corpse under him, it would be considered a victory.
As soon as the Jin soldiers saw that the villagers were about to block the mouth, they rushed up again, but the villagers on both sides of the gap were also like crazy at this time, and they rained down on them with shuttle guns, bows and arrows, so that they didn't dare to come closer, so they could only release arrows from a distance, trying to stop the villagers from blocking.
Many Xiangyong were shot dead on the spot in the gap, but no one dared to take a step back, not only did they have Li Ergou, a fierce god, behind them, but even Huang Yan also led the spearmen to aim the tip of the gun at them, the meaning is very clear, dare not go to the former, it is a dead word!
So with their hard work, the collapsed gap was gradually plugged with sand bags.
As soon as the Jin soldiers saw that a gap that was not easy to break was sealed by the Song people, they were immediately greatly discouraged, and their morale began to decline.
In this way, the Jin soldiers could not support it, and the adjutant general of the Jin army who was standing behind to supervise the battle, after seeing that the achievements were falling short, and then looking at the sky, it had already darkened, so he had to send an order to Ming Jin to withdraw the troops, and as soon as the sound of Ming Jin sounded, the Jin soldiers suddenly retreated from the wall with a hula, leaving only the corpses and seriously injured wounded in one place, and let the seriously injured wail.
At this time, the last rays of sunlight in the western sky also converged, and the earth was suddenly shrouded in darkness, and the town once again resounded with cheers.
At this time, I don't know who it is, and suddenly sang the song "Jing Loyal to the Country" that Gao Huaiyuan taught them in the tiger's mouth, and the veterans and teenagers who would soon sing this song sang loudly together, and they all learned this song when they were resting in the Xiangyang camp some time ago.
When they sang together, the voices came together and echoed in the night sky for a long time, muffling the moans of those who were wounded.
Listening to the rich singing voices of these people, Gao Huaiyuan slowly sat on the blood-covered wall, his eyes were a little moist, who said that the Song people were weak? In fact, as long as someone leads them, they can still become a group of tigers! It was this group of villagers who were regarded as a rabble, who were stunned that they repelled many fierce attacks by the Jin soldiers in one day, and he couldn't imagine this kind of thing in the past.
At this time, Li Ergou carried the fat head of Zhou Fatzi, slowly walked in front of Gao Huaiyuan, and arched his hand and said, "Young master! The little one is fortunate not to be dishonored, this is the head of the county lieutenant Zhou! ”
Gao Huaiyuan took his dragon scale treasure knife, hung it on his waist, looked at the grinning head of County Lieutenant Zhou, and snorted coldly: "I'm sorry County Lieutenant Zhou, Gao is going to pick up your head this time!" ”
