Chapter 195: Siege Drill

The rebels who attacked the camp were more than 300 people from the Fucheng group who rushed to the city to reinforce the city.

The rebels were ready to attack at night, but they didn't expect that the barracks had already been prepared, but as soon as they clashed, the rebels realized that something was wrong, and they ran away, and dozens of them fled into the city.

More than a dozen rebel soldiers who were not dead and all had colors on their bodies were escorted to Liu Yu.

Without much words, Liu Yu shouted: "Chop!" ”

More than a dozen heads moved from their bodies and rolled on the ground.

Huo Yao, who was still very arrogant just now, saw the three little followers, covering their eyes, and there was a look of jealousy on his face.

It was also an attack on the camp, but the treatment was different, Liu Yu said that he wanted to cut off Huo's head, but he just scared him at the end.

Yang Lie looked at Huo Yi with a hideous smile and asked, "Boy, are you leaving?" ”

"What about leaving? What if you don't go? ”

Yang Lie walked over with the executioner's thick-backed knife, and smiled maliciously: "If you go, tighten your tail and run quickly, if you don't leave, stay here to help attack the city and give you a few mouthfuls of food." ”

Huo Yi even asked a question: "The grain tube is not enough to eat?" ”

"It depends on whether you have the ability to do it."

Originally, they were a few fleeing boys, although they had some strength, but now there was no one to hire workers, either to migrate and try their luck, or to join the rebels in a precarious situation. Being able to join the army is already a very good way out, and no matter how sick Huo is, he knows that this is an opportunity.

…………

The next day, Liu Yu commanded the army to attack the city in an all-round way.

The walls of the city are four or five feet high, there is no moat, and the road from the camp to the city wall is smooth.

There were no siege equipment, and the most earthy way was to climb through the city walls. Neither did the ladder. I had to play nuisance first.

Liu Yu also did not order the siege of the city. Just attack from the western side of the city. The offensive was also not very violent. In a group of dozens of people, they went up with cans of tung oil to "throw bombs", and those who threw them on the city wall were not rewarded, and those who could not be thrown were punished, and they came back to beat the ten army sticks.

This is for male soldiers, and female soldiers just form a formation to watch from the sidelines, all cheering and cheering.

There were not many defenders in the city, four or five hundred. Almost all of them are gathered on the west side of the wall. Because of the lack of arrows in the city, seeing the imperial army rushing over, there was no other way, so the defenders had to use large and small stones to smash down.

So the offensive and defensive sides fought back and forth for a morning of tug-of-war, and there were basically no casualties.

By noon, many soldiers had been beaten with sticks. The Imperial Forest Army had a better bombing mission, and the soldiers of the South Chang'an Battalion suffered a loss due to insufficient training on weekdays, and they were basically beaten with military sticks.

Those who had been stoned and those who had been beaten with sticks gathered at the gate of the camp and snorted.

"That's not going to work. It does not achieve the effect of military training. Liu Yu took a dry cake in one hand and said to Yang Lie. In the afternoon, change the practice method and throw the blast rod inside. ”

A popping rod is a firecracker, and when gunpowder is stuffed into a bamboo tube, it explodes when it is ignited. Yang Lie originally felt strange about the various things that Liu Yu ordered to bring, but now he realized that bamboo could come in handy.

"My subordinates will go and order." Yang Lie said.

…………

Throwing a blast rod is obviously more fun than throwing a canister of tung oil, but you must master the timing of the ignition, and you can't go too far under the city wall, otherwise it will explode in your hand before you throw it. It can't be too close, otherwise it will be smashed by stones under the city wall, and the blasting rod is not like the tung oil jar that can be thrown straight up and down, and a parabola must be formed.

It's like throwing a javelin.

The city was also on guard. After seeing the "clumsy" siege methods of the imperial army in the morning, the defenders seemed to increase their confidence, and brought large stones from all over the city, and this time the stones were thrown down with much greater power.

After smashing and injuring a few, no one on the side of the imperial army dared to step forward and throw the blasting rod.

Seeing that the stones on the city wall worked, there was a Ha Lu Ha Da Lu who looked like a leader and said with a smile: "You group of bad seeds, you have the ability to come up!" ”

Liu Yu angrily threw the kettle in his hand on the ground, pointed to the city wall and scolded: "You fucking kind of you give Lao Tzu down!" ”

A war of words began between the two sides, and they couldn't hear what both sides were saying clearly.

Huan who scolded over there, the initiator Liu Yu entered the camp, Xu Xuanzhu was a little suspicious, and asked urgently: "Husband, if this stalemate continues, when will the rebellion be quelled?" ”

"Soon, just today." Liu Yu said casually, beckoned Lian Husheng and the others to come over, and got into the camp together.

When they came out again, Liu Yu and his guards were holding a newly developed musket in their hands.

"There aren't many bullets, so save money. Learn to aim and don't shoot at the sky. Liu Yu instructed that he was going to take the musket team of more than 20 people to practice.

"Husband, what is this for?" This was the first time Xu Xuanzhu had seen a musket, and he didn't understand what Liu Yu was doing with something like a long pipe.

"Madame, let you see the good things."

Liu Yu said, a group of people had already left the camp, and the soldiers above and below the city wall were still scolding each other. Before Liu Yu approached the fence made of shields, he took a gun and aimed at the city wall, more than three hundred steps, and it was still a little difficult to aim too accurately.

"Can you go a little further?" Liu Yu asked Yang Lie.

"No, Commander Liu." Yang Lie said, "The city wall is condescending, and it will be dangerous to go further if you encounter good archery."

"Then wait for General Ben to shoot first, I didn't tell you to wait first!"

Since you want to stand up, you obviously have to find someone with good marksmanship.

Liu Yu is the only one who has ever played with a gun. He had long seen that the shouting rebel leader on the city wall was not pleasing to the eye, perhaps because he felt that more than 300 paces of bow and arrows could not be shot, and the leader actually stood on the battlements with a flag and waved the flag and cursed. Encouraged by him, it seemed that the rebels on the city walls also scolded very loudly.

"Fuck, let you cross!"

"Bang!" With a bang, Liu Yu's shot shot went out, but it didn't hit the target, but it hit the battlements at the leader's feet, splashing a few broken bricks. The leader scolded Huan, but he didn't notice that there was an abnormality under his feet, and the situation of scolding didn't change.

Liu Yu felt a little stupid under the gaze of Xu Xuanzhu and the guards, this prestige was not successful, but was taken down by the prestige, fortunately, the rebels did not know what to do, otherwise they would definitely raise the morale of others and destroy their prestige.

"Mistakes, mistakes. This one must be a hit. ”

Liu Yu smiled ashamedly, and took out another bullet to load. This time, he deliberately increased the time to aim for a while. I think it's pretty much the same. before pulling the trigger.

"Bang!"

With a bang. The leader of the rebels on the battlements suddenly bent his legs, and the man fell headlong from the wall. The rebels thought that he was unsteady on his feet, so they reached out to pull it, but they only pulled the banner back, and the man was already planted on the ground.

The shouting stopped, and the rebels on the walls stretched out their heads to look down, and the leader kicked his legs twice with his feet in the air. He's dead.

The death is as obscene as when he curses arrogantly.

The rebels were in an uproar. It's so dignified, not a pair of eyes can see how he fell.

"How?" Liu Yu looked at Xu Xuanzhu with a surprised expression with a smug smile, "Not bad, right?" ”

Xu Xuanzhu showed a little surprise on his face and asked, "Husband, did you really do that?" ”

"Isn't it? If it weren't for the husband's accurate marksmanship, how could he fall off the city wall. Liu Yu was still a little ashamed when he said this, he was obviously aiming at the head of the rebel leader, but he hit him on the knee. It's a very biased head.

"You've got your bullets on and you're going to have a round!"

The guards were encouraged by Liu Yu's "magic marksmanship", and they loaded the bullets one after another, and Liu Yu gave the order. There were scattered thuds, though most of them were only on the walls and battlements. There are still a few who have been shot, and some of them have been shot in the brain.

"They're playing tricks!"

There was a shout from the walls, and then various shields were placed on the battlements. Liu Yu's "blasters" who were still standing and watching waved their hands and said, "What are you waiting for, vote!" ”

A bunch of people rushed up, and most of them threw the blasting rods this time without interference, and then there was a crackling sound on it, accompanied by the clatter of the shield falling.

The siege in the back is much easier, and it is said that it is a siege, but in fact, it is to constantly throw tung oil cans and blasting rods upward. As soon as the rebels tried to throw stones down, muskets would go off.

Having seen the power of the muskets on the ramparts, the soldiers became frightened birds, and immediately retreated behind the battlements, regardless of whether they were hit or not.

"Surrender or kill!"

Liu Yu found someone to shout twice, and he was going to call someone in to get some more bullets out, but he saw a white flag raised on the city wall.

The rebels were tortured by the "demon law", the blasting rod, and the tung oil can, and now the leader is also dead. shouted "surrender or kill" outside, and they didn't have the courage to resist anymore and obediently opened the city gate.

It was originally a strong city wall, but it was recovered by the imperial army without blood.

Victory in the first battle.

The imperial army immediately entered the city, and in addition to disarming the rebels, they also had to settle the refugees in the city. Because of the rebels' deduction of military rations, the people in the city were in hunger and cold, and there was no green in the whole city, but everything that could be eaten by the people.

Liu Yu asked people to settle the porridge field to distribute rice, and at the same time went to inspect the prisoners of war. For he was still quite angry at the curses of the rebels who had come before.

In the open space in front of the county governor's mansion, the rebels were tied hand and foot and knelt on the ground, Liu Yue came over, and many people recognized that this was the general who was stirring up trouble outside just now.

"Hey! Didn't you say surrender or kill? And now it's backtracking? ”

A thief-eyed boy looked up at Liu Yu, as if he was saying in a questioning tone.

Liu Yu was angry at the moment, pointed at the young man and said, "You kid, General Ben remembers that the scolding on the city tower is quite enjoyable." What is it about scolding General Ben? Giving birth to a turtle son without an asshole? Isn't this a call for General Ben to cut off his children and grandchildren? Pull it out and cut it! ”

"Wronged. It's not the villain shouting. Dragged by the soldiers, the young man lost his previous arrogance and began to play tricks.

"And say no, your voice is loud enough, I think General Ben is deaf and blind, right?" Liu Yu instructed, "Sew this mouth first, so as not to howl like killing a pig when you cut off your head." ”

The man's bowels were green with repentance, and he had defected to the rebels and was ready to show himself in front of the leader, but now he was about to be beheaded.

"The villain is wronged, really wronged." The young man cried and shouted, "The villain is a salted fish seller in the city, and the villain in charge that week shouted at the villain to scold on the castle tower." The scolding words were all made up by Master Zhou! ”

Liu Yu waved his hand to stop the soldier who was about to gag him.

"Who is in charge of Zhou?"

Yang Lie said on the side: "It's the one who was shot by the general, since the rebels entered the city, he is the hegemon of the city." (To be continued......)
