In the next two or three days, the government troops in Duolun City and the Mongolian bandit army stationed outside the city were in a strange confrontation, but every morning, a large group of Mongolian bandit cavalry would routinely run around Duolun City, occasionally firing a few shots to refresh themselves, and the defenders in the city were disdainful of this, just as if they didn't see it, and then shoot to warn when the Mongolian bandit cavalry got too close, and for two or three days they also fought a bandit who was not very lucky.

This situation is very simple, the cavalry of the Mongolian bandits came too quickly and left the infantry behind, and they had to wait for the large group of infantry to come up before attacking the city, although they knew this situation, but Tang Zhidao had no way, he only had less than 500 cavalry on hand plus Han Zitai, who did not know where he was wandering outside the city, was also less than a thousand, and it was too thin to confront the thousands of Mongolian cavalry outside, and it should be the Mongolian bandits outside the city who should be anxious when taking a step back.

This changed on the afternoon of the fourth day as most of the infantry reached the outskirts of the city, as each day of the cold weather was a little worse for the bandits.

"Damn, why let Lao Tzu's people take the lead!" Although Wu Sanye, who was in his forties with black faces and phoenix eyes, was unwilling, he still had to lead his two or three hundred brothers to attack the first line of defense in Duolun City. Contrary to the fact that most of the cavalry were Mongols, most of the infantry under Babu Zabu were Han bandits, militia groups and strong men who took the initiative to take refuge or coerced. Wu Sanye was originally the big boss of a small hill in the north, and he was surrounded and suppressed by Zhang Huzi's team and had nowhere to hide, and he happened to meet Babu Zabu and threw himself over, and he really made a few small fortunes in this small half a year, and his brothers also expanded from a dozen at the beginning to two or three hundred now.

"Brothers, whoever is the first to attack Duolun City will be rewarded with five thousand oceans and promoted to three levels!" Since Wu Sanye has embarked on this road, he has also been released, not to mention that the muzzle of the Babu Zabu Du clan behind them is also facing them, and it is impossible to escape back.

"Third master, can you get a girl for me to play with!" A lewd, thin man behind him said with a sneer, the women who usually beat the cities and villages with a little grace were all occupied by the big and small leaders, and their small soldiers were also addicted.

"The lord said, take Duolun City for three days off, and the property and women in the city are at the disposal of everyone!" Anyway, it's a fight, Wu Sanye simply plays bigger.

"Good!" Hearing this, the bandits came to their senses as if they had been beaten with blood, and the speed of their march increased significantly.

"Spread out, let's get down!" Estimating that within the range of the opponent's rifle, Wu Sanye roared in a low voice with a shell gun on his waist, and the bandits in front and behind him were also doing the same, only a few of them who went to the battlefield for the first time still walked forward without listening to the greeting.

"Three hundred steps!"

"Two Hundred Steps"

"One Hundred and Fifty Steps"

"One Hundred Steps"

"Ninety Steps"

There is a hand-cut slope on the island of "Eighty Steps", which looks like about forty or fifty degrees.

As the distance got closer and closer, the bandits' waists bent lower and lower, and some people even began to crawl forward, but seeing that the enemy on the opposite side still did not react, many bandits gradually relaxed their vigilance, and rushed forward with straight bodies.

"Commander Tang, why don't your people shoot yet!" Lin Jianzhong, who was standing on the city wall and watching, said anxiously: "It only takes half a minute for the bandits to storm the trench!" "In his opinion, the shooting should have been fired a long time ago.

"Chief of Staff Lin, don't worry, the show will start soon!" Tang Zhidao said lightly, he was still quite satisfied in his heart, it seemed that Xiang Qianliang was still calm. With the shooting level of the mixed group soldiers exceeding 100 or more, they basically rely on the blind, and in this case, shooting indiscriminately not only cannot kill a few enemies, but rather boosts the arrogance of the other party. …,

"Seventy Steps"

"Sixty Steps"

At this time, the soldiers in front of the "Fifty Steps" had already vaguely heard the enemy's gasps, not to mention the sound of their footsteps on the snowy earth, and some of them had already begun to tremble, after all, some of them were also on the battlefield for the first time.

"Fire!" Just when the bandits were about to sprint, Xiang Qianliang no longer hesitated to take the lead in raising the two shell guns in his hand and roared, and for a while, the gunfire was loud, and the battle of Duolun, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, finally really kicked off!

Wu Sanye's department was immediately blinded by this sudden attack, and the rifles, pistols, and firepower nets of a battalion and a company of mixed regiments wantonly harvested the lives of the opponents, especially the powerful firepower of Maxine, who was on the front line, directly cut off the heads of many enemies, and for a time the battlefield was full of flesh and blood, brains overflowing, and the snow under the sun was dyed crimson

"Third master, be careful!" A little brother who had followed Wu Laosan for many years threw himself on Wu Sanye, but his words had not yet fallen, and his right arm had been completely cut off by bullets, and blood sprayed Wu Sanye's face. However, it also made Wu Sanye sober up, and immediately organized his subordinates to retreat, but how could the officers and soldiers of the company who were murderous let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, and in the end, less than thirty percent of the first wave of bandits could escape back alive, and more were lying in the snow and moaning, and the cold weather would soon take away their lives.

"Sir, Wu San, they are defeated!" Captain Saub of the Overseer came running over and asked, "Do you want to let them go up again?" ”

"Forget it, let them go down!" Babu Zabu waved his hand and said, "Let Jebe's forward infantry team come up!" ”

Wu Laosan's subordinates basically completed their mission, making fire reconnaissance of the official deployment outside the east gate, although the cost was slightly greater. However, in Babu Zabu's eyes, these Han infantry were originally cannon fodder, and as long as they could capture Duolun City, they would not hesitate to die even if they were all dead!

War is the best teacher, and the next wave of attacking bandits should be much more cautious, after all, they are also a long-term war division, and they are also conquering cities in Rehe, and they are invincible, and the experience of attacking the city is still a little better. The commander of the infantry team on the front road, Jebe, was the officer of the original Chahar Mongol army, and when the Mongol army was disbanded, he was also dismissed, and he was also able to fight a war, first sent a small group of men and horses to try to attack under the cover of heavy machine guns to find a breakthrough in the position, and once he found that it was difficult to break through, he decisively withdrew the team, and in this way he repeated more than ten times, and finally launched a large-scale attack after losing dozens of people!

Under the personal leadership of Jebe, three or four hundred soldiers slowly leaned towards the position, shooting at the soldiers of the first company as they walked, but due to the sunset and the evening sky, the light was not too good, and the quality of the soldiers on both sides was not very high, and the hit rate was very low, and the casualties on both sides were not large, especially the company hiding in the trenches.

"Company commander, I'll lead someone to fight a counter-charge and beat these rabbit cubs back!" A company and a platoon of long-focus watched the enemy slowly lean over along the slope and ask Xiang Qianliang for battle, assassination training is the highlight of the Tang Clan's training method, but except for the cavalry company, the rest of the troops have not yet practiced.

"No, you don't! They can't get by! Xiang Qianliang waved his hand and said, he was quite reasonable, the seventy or eighty steps in front of the position of a company could not be relied on by these two or three hundred people, and there was no need to organize a counterattack.

Sure enough, as soon as the enemy climbed to the flat ground, two Maxine rang out violently, and after more than 30 casualties, Jebel had no choice but to lead people to crawl back, so that he lost more than a dozen people at a time, so that it was only an hour's effort, and the 400 or so men of the infantry team on the front road lost one-third, and only two soldiers in a battalion and a company were killed by disobeying the command, and several other soldiers were only slightly injured. …,

"Sir, it's almost time today!" Master Guo, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw this quasi-situation and whispered, at least judging from the current situation, it is unrealistic to seize the first line of defense before dark, and the purpose of testing the other party has also been achieved.

"Hmmm! Let Jebel take people down! Babu Zab nodded and said, it was not surprising that Duolun was a hard bone, otherwise he would have brought his troops over, and now it seems that it is too early, he should wait for the artillery team to come before attacking, but can the government army give him so much time?

"Sir, why did you let me stop, give me a few more heavy machine guns to support me, I will definitely take the first line of defense before dark." Jebel, who was withdrawn, said with an unhappy face, despite the loss of more than a hundred people, the infantry under his command was still no less than a thousand.

"That's all for today!" Babu Zabu looked at the sky and coldly ordered: "Continue the siege early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The infantry battalions that had not yet participated in the attack were amnestied, and hurriedly packed up their ranks and retreated, leaving only the bloodied commander Jebe to clean up the mess.

Tang Zhidao, who was observing this skirmish from the corner tower of the city wall, was not surprised that he could repel the enemy's first attack so easily, if he could not retreat, there would be a problem, and the Mongolian bandits' estimated strength was not used, at least the Mongolian bandits' artillery did not speak. In addition, the area around the East Gate is the best place for front-line fortifications, and more than half of the man-hours are spent here.

"That's it!" However, Chief of Staff Lin Jianzhong felt a little unsatisfied, knowing that it was so easy to defend the city, he would never let Commander Tang take office easily, it seemed that this bandit was just in name, and the defense line composed of a few trenches, a few mounds and deep pits blocked them.

"This is just the beginning, the real battle is yet to come!" Tang Zhidao said expressionlessly, in fact, his heart was mixed, now the snowy land outside the city was soaked in the blood of his compatriots, although these people had been branded as traitors!
