Chapter 56: The Siege of the Village (I)
As soon as Gao Guiying saw Liu Fangliang coming, she asked, "Fangliang, how is the situation?" ”
Liu Fangliang replied: "Sister-in-law, Zhang Biwu is really bold!" After he came to Lu's family, Lingbao and other places, he killed Lingbao's magistrate, so as to establish his authority! It made the people of the three counties applaud one after another! He used this to win the hearts of the people! Now he wants to attack Xiong Batian with 200 of his men! ”
"You must know that there are more than 2,000 people in Xiong Batian, can he beat more than 200 people? I really can't figure out what Zhang Biwu thinks? Is he going to congratulate the madman's men? He madman didn't see any troops! He Madman won't listen to Zhang Biwu's words! And I've investigated, and there are no other officers and soldiers around! What are Zhang Biwu's plans? I can't see through it! ”
Gao Guiying replied: "That's right! Even if Zhang Biwu wanted to mobilize He's crazy people, he couldn't mobilize it! Presumably, Maniac He must be angry, he is a deputy general soldier to be controlled by a guerrilla general, this is something he makes him lose face, he will never do it! It is very difficult for Zhang Biwu to mobilize his men! Did he really set off to attack Xiong Batian with just over two hundred men? Gao Guiying didn't believe it, maybe even Gao Guiying thought Zhang Biwu was crazy!
Liu Fangliang replied: "Yes! That's right! Zhang Biwu really wants to take his more than 200 people! However, his wife is from Lushi County, and outsiders are rumored to be from Lingbao, I think this is the reason why he uses Lingbao as a base! Now he wants to pacify Xiong Batian and do good things for his hometown, right? Even so, wouldn't it be so crazy? Make a move without a brain, right? ”
Liu Fangliang changed his words and said: "However, Zhang Biwu's yamen is a dilapidated house, he did not occupy the people's houses, nor did he requisition people to build a new house for him, he killed a big corrupt official, this move immediately won the hearts of the people!" Praise him universally! They also said that he was a Lingbao person, and he would definitely seek benefits for Lingbao! ”
Gao Guiying was the first to say: "I really didn't expect this Zhang Biwu to know how to win the hearts of the people so well!" I originally thought that he was just brave in battle, but I didn't expect that he was more shrewd than others in terms of winning the hearts of the people! It would be our misfortune if the court had such a capability! ”
Liu Fangliang said worriedly: "It's not! Alas! I can only hope that Zhang Biwu will not end well! Otherwise, if he gains momentum, we won't end well! Now that Zhang Biwu is asking for news about us, will he want to exterminate us? ”
At this moment, Ye Xiangri came over and said, "I had a relationship with Zhang Biwu when I followed Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi, and Yuan Zongdi and Zhang Biwu still know each other!" It seems that they know each other in Shangzhou! And I am a general under Yuan Chonghuan with his master Han Runchang, and Zhang Biwu is Han Runchang's apprentice, with this relationship, I think Zhang Biwu will ...... too."
However, he was afraid that Zhang Biwu had stayed in the official army for a long time and was infected with the mercenary habits of the official army, and it was said that because of Liu Tichun's incident, if Zhang Biwu had not made a great contribution to defeating the British army in Guangzhou, then he would have died. Will he be dissatisfied? Ye Xiangri really has to think about it clearly.
Gao Guiying knew that Ye Xiangri was a martial artist in the forty-sixth year of Wanli, and was appointed as a guard by Yuan Chonghuan in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and participated in the great victory of Ningyuan. He has a relationship with Zhang Biwu, which is a very good thing. It's just that Zhang Biwu is an official soldier, this is an indisputable fact!
Gao Guiying thought about it for a long time, and then she made a decision: "Now I don't know if Zhang Biwu is an enemy or a friend!" If he exterminates Xiong Batian, he will find out about our whereabouts and will immediately come and destroy us! We don't have a lot of people now, only about a thousand! If we are attacked by Zhang Biwu again, we will not be able to protect it! Each of them is an old brother who has survived a lot of battles! Now King Chuang doesn't have much money, and he must keep his family! Let's go to Kunshan immediately to have a look, if we can help Xiong Batian, we will help Xiong Batian! ”
What Gao Guiying said made sense, Liu Fangliang agreed, but they wouldn't all go, Liu Fangliang led five hundred cavalry and Ye Xiangri to go together, and they moved the camera. At the necessary moment, they will help Xiong Batian attack Zhang Biwu and theirs.
Zhang Biwu didn't know that the men and horses of King Lu Daochuang had already set off, and he was sure of defeating Xiong Batian, but if he wanted to defeat Liu Fangliang's five hundred cavalry, he didn't dare to guarantee it. What's more, Zhang Biwu didn't know that Liu Fangliang was coming to him with five hundred cavalry.
Zhang Biwu originally wanted to pick up Qin Huaiyu, but he wanted to go to Guanyun Mountain to pick him up in person, and then there would be a big pomp, which was also worthy of his beloved, so he first sent someone to find someone who was familiar with the terrain around Kunshan Mountain, and then returned to Guanyun Mountain.
Everything was ready, Zhang Biwu just asked the officials of the three counties to prepare mules to be responsible for transporting grain and grass for him, and more than 200 people were responsible for attacking Xiong Batian's cottage.
Xiong Batian received the news that he heard that the newly arrived garrison of the three counties personally commanded more than 200 soldiers in his headquarters, and then transported grain and grass as an official messenger to attack him.
Xiong Batian couldn't laugh and said: "People say that Zhang Biwu is brave and strategic, and he is a capable general!" But today I think a fool! He's a big! He wants to defeat more than 2,000 of my people with just over 200 people? Ha Lu Ha! He still thought that his attack on Jinan would be successful again? I think this time the success is all blown out! There is no such thing at all! And even if you are lucky once, there shouldn't be a second time now! ”
Xiong Batian said proudly: "Now we are in Kunshan Mountain, which is a dangerous place!" Even if he Zhang Biwu has three heads and six arms, he won't dare to attack me! What's more, he can't know where my cottage is! I'm the head snake here, as the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't crush the head snake! No matter how strong he is, he will lose to me! At that time, as long as Zhang Biwu is captured, my reputation will spread far and wide! Ha Lu Ha! ”
Xiong Batian's subordinates constantly flattered: "Yes! Be! The king is right! The king is mighty! Unbeatable! What Tartars are extremely powerful, that's because they haven't met the king, and once they meet the king, it's not worth the penny! Xiong Batian pinched his beard lightly, very proud.
But a soldier hurriedly came to report: "Report! Oh no, my lord! The officers and soldiers have come to our village! ”
"What!" Xiong Batian was shocked, so he hurriedly picked up the people and went to the walled wall to see the situation.
Xiong Batian looked out, there were only more than two hundred people, and the first general, who had very peculiar armor, immediately stepped forward. Xiong Batian didn't expect Zhang Biwu to find out about his cottage and enter the gate.
A confidant asked, "King, are we going to war?" But Xiong Batian was afraid that Zhang Biwu would be ambushed, and he said: "Stick to the outside of the wall!" Just don't let the officers and soldiers attack it! We are at risk! Don't be afraid of them! ”
Xiong Batian's order, the bandits looked like they were defending the cottage, they were guarding the cottage, and it was not easy for Zhang Biwu and them to break through the cottage.
Zhang Biwu looked at the cottage, he knew that the cottage was not ready to roll the wood and stones, and the thieves on the village were not mentally prepared to fight, and they also thought that Zhang Biwu would not dare to attack the cottage.
As soon as Zhang Biwu sneered, he first rushed over and shouted: "Attack the village!" Break the cottage for me! ”
Suddenly, the ladder and others were erected together, and the speed was very fast, and even the crash was driven together. The bandits on the cottage were all stunned, they didn't expect the officers and soldiers to attack them at all, but then they didn't care, they saw that the number of officers and soldiers was too small! Even if they open the gate and come out, more than 2,000 of them will be able to defeat the official army.
The bandits still don't care! Including their king Xiong Batian, too, who is still drinking wine and eating meat. They seem to think that the officers and soldiers are just scaring people, and the officers and soldiers were like this before, thunder and no rain in the air! So many times this has happened, will this time be an exception?
"Kill!" More than 200 soldiers were tearing their throats open and screaming. And they were almost under the wall.
"Quick! Shoot the arrows! At this moment, the bandits understood that they were releasing arrows, that arrows were flying down the city, and that the soldiers were the ones who had survived a hundred battles, and they all quickly raised their shields to block the arrows that came down.
Huang Qi and Lin Xiangfeng both squatted down, holding their shields high, and Huang Qi said, "It's almost there!" Teach the enemy soldiers on the wall a lesson! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the soldiers behind him were running forward a few steps quickly, and Huang Qi and Lin Xiangfeng shouted together: "Release!" And he threw out the spear in his hand.
"Huhu" killed the thieves who peeked out of the arrow stacks with a spear, and one after another the bandits fell to the ground. It can be said that the javelins thrown by the soldiers were almost a hundred shots.
When the bandits shot arrows down, they saw that the soldiers were blocking them with shields, and even if an arrow was about to hit a soldier, the soldier next to him cut off the incoming arrow with a wave of his sword. Otherwise, use a shield to block it. They just have comrades, they help each other, so it's hard to kill them.
Even if one soldier was hit by an arrow and fell, he was immediately guarded with a shield, and someone was responsible for seeing how the fallen soldier was doing.
And the rush and ladder are moving forward quickly. There were planks on the carts to block the arrows that came from them, and the bandits were not good at archery, so it was difficult for their arrows to hit the soldiers.
"Whoosh" another round of javelin throws, all the bandits who came up were killed, and the bandits saw that their arrow attacks not only could not have the desired effect, but who was floating and who died! They were all scared! One or two are all shrunken turtles.
It wasn't until the Zhaimen was really attacked that Xiong Batian stopped drinking, he came out, and when he saw the battle like this, he got angry, he brandished his knife and shouted: "Give it to me!" There are only more than 200 of them, what are you afraid of! Give it to me! Kill them! ”
