Chapter 70: Siege Warfare
"Rest early!" Zhao Yun looked at Wu Xiaoya, who was healing, and walked out of the small temple.
The battle during the day can be described as a narrow victory. If it weren't for Zhao Yun and their geographical advantage, they would probably suffer another defeat today.
The captured bandits have already explained the situation in 1510, and learned that Pan Datou quietly invited bandits from Huangshan, Wu Xiaoya's heart was also afraid, this diamond leopard is a bandit who has been famous for a long time, and it is also a well-known name in the Anhui territory.
The ranking on the rivers and lakes is not the number of heads, but the real strength, if you say that the ranking of the water margin is a metaphor for the name and position of the diamond leopard, it is estimated that the diamond leopard can be ranked in the top 20 in Anhui, and the top eight in southern Anhui, and Shi Foshan has not been famous before, even if it developed very quickly, but there is no record of getting a hand, in the province is sixty or seventy, the gap between can be imagined.
Wu Xiaoya's younger brother Wu Zhuangzhuang is also in the small temple, today this guy met the three masters of the Red Gun Society, and fought fiercely with the other party a few times, but unfortunately the strength was not enough to break seven or eight bones, but fortunately he was snatched back by his subordinates, and now he has received treatment, and he is also lying on the stretcher!
"Sister! Are we going to fight again tomorrow? Wu Zhuangzhuang asked his sister with a wink.
"Hmmm! Of course you have to fight! Why don't you want to fight? Wu Xiaoya looked at her younger brother with pity. Those few people are very powerful, many brothers in the village have been injured today, if they fight tomorrow, they will have Brother Zhao's team to fight the main attack! Are people willing? "Wu Zhuangzhuang is young, and he also knows that this gang of bandits is too strong in combat, and many people will definitely die in tomorrow's siege battle.
"I don't know, I don't know! Your brother Zhao is also very helpful! But I really don't know if we will be able to conquer Yao Village tomorrow? Wu Xiaoya looked at the direction of Yao Village, and was very hesitant in her heart, this is the best opportunity, both sides have fought like this, and I don't know if I can fight again tomorrow.
Zhao Yun walked out of the small temple and looked into the distance, where he came to the cave. It's been almost a year since I came unconsciously, and in this year, the mix is really miserable, and I have been hunted down and killed repeatedly, and there is no decent place to settle down until now.
Failure! There is still the last level of the camp that has not been promoted, and when I settle down, I will give this last thing.
That night, in Yao Village
"Bang!" A blue and white teacup was thrown to the ground, "The surname is Pan, did you let our brother come to send him to death?" ”
Ge Dadang of the Big Knife Club was like thunder, and today his three masters were killed, and after carrying it back, he found that the arrows began to corrode, and the whole person had been corroded.
And today, anyone who has been hit by an arrow is not much better, the wound is festering, the screams of pain are repeated, and the doctors in Yao Village are helpless.
Pan Datou is sitting on the top without saying a word, what can he say? Today, the loss of his strength is the greatest, nearly half of the people did not come back, and half of those who came back were hit by arrows, and the arrows were poisonous, and it is still unknown whether they can survive until tomorrow.
"Forget it, it's time for everyone to discuss and come up with a charter, looking at the current situation, there will definitely be a fierce battle tomorrow." Lu Yunshan hurriedly jumped out to play a round, and now he is surrounded by people in Yao Village, if there is an internal fight, there will be no more people left tomorrow.
The Diamond Mountain Leopard also pulled Ge Da to the side, and the atmosphere at the scene calmed down.
"According to their appearance, they will definitely attack us tomorrow, if we miss tomorrow, the militia groups in Langxi will arrive one after another, after all, I am the nominal head of the Langxi militia group." Pan Datou looked at it and didn't ask questions, and no one squeaked, and continued, "Yaocun Township is a big township in Langxi, and the defense of Yaocun Village is also top, and the walls on the town are five meters high and two meters thick. As long as you resist tomorrow, you'll be fine. ”
Except for the big sword will roar a few times again, everyone has not expressed any constructive opinions, and they will wait until after tomorrow.
The next day, early in the morning
Wu Xiaoya began to assemble her own team, plus the team that fell behind last night, the minor injuries were treated by the medical team, and the more than 30 seriously injured (half of the treatment by Zhao Yun was thrown down, if all of them were cured, Zhao Yun was afraid of causing trouble) A total of 220 people can participate in today's attack.
After a night of preparation here, Zhao Yun made up for the ten mountain infantry teams, transferred four rifle teams, and four artillery pieces produced overnight.
Fighting for their melee force, four hundred cavalry are also waiting in the valley not far from the city, and today Zhao Yun is ready to take this place in one fell swoop.
Wu Xiaoya and the others had little confidence in today's war, but when they saw that Zhao Yun had made such a big effort, their confidence also increased greatly.
In the morning, he commanded his men and horses to cut down trees, prepare wooden shield carts, and prepare "earthen tanks".
The sun rises early in June, and by the time it reaches nine o'clock, the sun has begun to exert its power, and this is when the siege begins.
"Knock knock knock" four round iron balls with light smoke, with a trajectory visible to the naked eye, flew far away in the direction of the city gate.
In the eyes of everyone in the city and under the city, it accurately hit the city gate, one hit the city tower, two shot directly broke into the door, and one hit the city wall near the city gate, directly knocking out a white mark.
The people in the city and under the city were amazed.
The surprise of the city, this group of mountain bandits still has cannons, and they are not ordinary earth cannons that can only shoot fifty paces, like the general cannons of the Qing Dynasty.
The surprise of the city, this big bluestone is too hard to be outrageous, if you can't hit the city gate, it's all in vain, fortunately the city tower is not a big bluestone, there is a blue brick paving, after a shot, the gravel splashes, hurting a lot of people on the city tower.
The battlements at the wall were uncovered to facilitate the gunners' shooting. The cannonball that hit the city tower jumped up again after hitting the city bricks, smashed into the city, and directly killed one, and wounded seven or eight people on the city tower.
The two shots that broke into the door became ricochets, and the legs of many bandits guarding behind the door were broken all the way, and more than a dozen people withdrew from the battle.
Seeing this scene, Pan Datou and a group of bandit leaders were all bitter in their mouths, so they let go of a round, and more than 20 people in the city had already withdrawn from the battle, how could they carry it on this day?
While the big bosses on the castle tower were distressed, a new round of shelling began.
After more than half an hour, the Yao villagers' group kept praying for the cannon to explode, and the entire Yao village gate was bombarded with holes, but no one attacked.
At this time, it can be seen that the militia in Yao Village is usually strictly trained and disciplined, and no one retreats, because this is the most important nest of the Pan family, and those who go into battle today are all outlaws and domestic servants who have been kept in captivity by the Pan family for many years.
By 9:40 a.m., four groups of mountain infantry had begun to approach the walls and fire rockets into the city. More than 200 people in Shifo Mountain were also ready to attack.
There was silence on and off the city, and both sides knew that it was time to matter, and both sides were silent, except for the sound of the fierce June sun on the city and around it.
Fifteen wooden shield carts were pushed out, and not far behind the wooden shield carts were four groups of mountain infantry. Behind them, more than 20 mountain bandits carried a few rudimentary ladders and followed the mountain infantry.
The wheels of the wooden shield car creaked sadly, and slowly approached the city.
The distance was probably less than a hundred meters, and the city walls began to shoot and rain bullets.
"Kill!" Wu Xiaoya gave the order, fired a shot directly into the sky, and was about to rush forward.
Zhao Yun is next to her at the moment, and he has long been guarding against her move! That day, she was defenseless, so she rushed out, causing heavy losses, and because she was the big boss of Shi Foshan, Shi Foshan had a loss, and Zhao Yun had nowhere to say.
I had already colluded with Wu Zhuangzhuang and others today, and when I saw that she was going to be crazy again, I held her down directly, and all the people in Shifoshan didn't know which play this was, and before they started attacking, their own big boss let their own family tie up.
"Cui Sigou, you go in and lead the way, be careful, take a look at the situation and don't rush forward, you know?" Zhao Yun directly replaced Wu Xiaoya as the commander.
Cui Sigou grew up here since he was a child, and he was familiar with the road, so he instructed this half-old child to be the guide and let Wu Zhuangzhuang lead people to prepare for street battles in the city.
"Sangou, you and Shao Lao Er, look at Wu Da in charge! Keep her safe! Leaving his only two bodyguards to Wu Xiaoya, in Wu Xiaoya's hateful eyes, he said to the little girl, "You will stay here for me today, you are not allowed to go anywhere, if you enter the city and catch Pan Datou, I will definitely leave him to you." ”
After speaking, Zhao Yun was ready to lead his team to attack.
Yesterday I was too unmanly, I actually let a girl rush down the mountain to fight with people, and I was a spectator on the mountain, Zhao Yun thought about it all night, and felt very ashamed, this morning when everyone went up the mountain to cut down trees, he colluded with Wu Zhuangzhuang, this kid is also worried about his sister. So the two guys decided to change the commander temporarily, anyway, this cottage will definitely be this kid in the future, and now it is just a temporary handover of power to him, and it is also for him to establish prestige. As for the "bad water hemp" Zhao Yun directly ignored, this guy also stayed behind yesterday and did not go down the mountain, it is estimated that he still wanted to keep his men and horses and refused to contribute, but he didn't succeed, and now he is being targeted by Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was still not at ease with the "bad water hemp", worried about Wu Xiaoya's safety after he left, and left two more teams of people, so Zhao Yun rushed to the direction of the city gate.
Wu Zhuangzhuang had already led people to rush in, nothing was used, the wooden shield car and the earthen tank were thrown outside the city, and the battered city gate was broken up as soon as it was rushed, and the people of Shifoshan poured into Yao Village like a tide.
Looking at the team that had already entered the city for more than half of the group, Zhao Yun became worried about this daredevil. "Why are you so reckless? It's really a brother and sister! Muttering in a low voice, Zhao Yun began to lead the team to run towards the city gate.
There were no guards on the towers, and there was constant gunfire in the city.
"Boom!" Before he arrived at the city gate, a wave of air directly overturned Zhao Yun.
A mushroom cloud rose from the entire city gate building, "It's land thunder again!" I don't have you like that! As soon as Zhao Yun saw the mushroom cloud, he knew that which master had planted explosives under the city gate again, and he had suffered heavy losses from such a conspiracy last time.
When he got up from the ground, he happened to see the city gate shaking twice, but he still didn't hold on, and it collapsed!
"Kill!" The shouts and killings in the city suddenly became louder, and now that the fool knows about the plan, the team in the city is estimated to be unable to save it.
(Looking at the recommendation votes that are disproportionate to the number of words, Huxi begged for a recommendation again!) )
