Tan Fumin stepped back a little, his right hand skillfully picked up an arrow from the bow pot under his feet, clamped the tail of the arrow at the tiger's mouth, the thumb of his right hand buckled the bowstring with the wrench, the index finger and middle finger pressed on the thumb, the left hand was raised, the arrow pointed obliquely into the air, and the right hand began to slowly pull the bowstring, and the other archers around him were in the same posture as him, and hundreds of bow arms bent up and made a continuous creaking sound.
A desolate trumpet sounded, and behind the pile of masonry resounded the vibration of countless bowstrings like cotton, like a huge swarm of bees flying through the sky, and dense arrows rising.
The arrows flew past the highest apex in mid-air and began to slide down towards the positions of Liu Xian's army in the town, and the positions of a large group below fell silent. All Ding Yong Qingzhuang either shrank in the room or stayed under the wooden raft.
"Toot ......"
The sound of arrows hitting a wooden raft.
There was not a single scream.
Who let the supreme point within a radius of a few miles around it firmly control the hands of Liu Xian. When the rebel army just dispatched a large number of archers, Ding Yong in the town began to prepare for it.
Waves of arrows fell on the line of Liu Xian's army. Liu Xianjun couldn't raise his head!
A large number of rebel soldiers gathered behind the brick pile, and after a violent shout, hundreds of light soldiers rushed to the top of the brick and stone pile.
Just like the torrent of black pressure overflowing a dike, it was unstoppable towards the battle line of Liu Xian's army below. It's just a dozen zhang distance, and three or five blinks of time are enough.
The hundred-pace-long breastwork rock rampart was lit up in a single line, and the muskets and cannons spewed out puffs of white smoke with the sound of explosions, and from the air, it looked like a white smoke dragon had been conjured out of thin air. The projectile fragments flew over a distance of more than ten zhang in an instant, easily tearing apart the bodies of the rebels and the wooden shields in their hands. Blood spurted out of the body along the piercing holes, turning into strands of blood arrows.
Tan Fusheng was hit in the stomach of a volunteer in front of him, and the flesh and blood could not block the penetration of the projectile at all, he held his stomach and struggled desperately on the ground, letting out a terrible scream, and the intestines in his stomach were stirred to pieces by lead bullets, revealing a hole in the mouth of the bowl.
Liu Xian did everything possible to save money on the guns, and the gravel and iron corners used were cheap, but on the guns, he didn't save any money at all. A piece of lead bullet in the water, in order to hit this shot, the effect of a hole in the bowl. Lead is soft, deformed when it is struck, and the destructive power is huge, and it also comes with lead poisoning.
The sword and shield hand of the volunteer soldier in front of Tan Fusheng, the blood flowing from the big hole in his stomach and the color of the colorful feces are the embodiment of the effect of lead bullets.
It's not the first time that he has encountered life and death, Tan Fusheng listened to the howls around him, and his hands couldn't help but shake slightly. Thinking that if it weren't for someone in front of him to block death, the miserable end in front of him would be himself, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of urine in his lower body.
After the man in front of him fell to the ground, Tan Fusheng faced the low wall, he never thought that the shotgun would be so powerful, he was very scared now, afraid that white smoke and fire would suddenly come out from behind the wall, because he couldn't see the bullets flying at all, and a strong fear hit his heart.
Two rows of bullets and a round of mountain splitting cannons went down, and at least fifty or sixty people fell in the charging group of volunteers, which was only a small part of the total number of the volunteers attacking, but it still shook the whole group of volunteers. A small leader has already begun to shout and curse, telling the archers to shoot quickly, quickly suppress the shotgun artillery on the opposite side,
In fact, the distance between the two sides was only a dozen zhang away, and all the volunteers could clearly see the wooden platoons that were leaning out of the rock barricades on the breast wall in the town. As long as it doesn't get hit by a cannonball, what if more arrows fall over?
The little boss howled like this, asking for only psychological comfort.
"Rush, rush—"
Another man cried out, this is the right thing.
Tan Fusheng saw a row of gun barrels poking out of the hole in the chest wall again, his feet were weak, and the whole person suddenly fell to the ground.
"Bang bang bang ......" gunshots rang out.
Tan Fusheng heard more screams. Poof, a familiar figure fell beside him. He's the leader of his team!
This 'official', who was majestic in the past, with three daughters-in-law and hundreds of subordinates, shook his body like an electric shock, and a pair of dead fish eyes looked at Tan Fusheng, his mouth opened for a moment, and he couldn't close it anymore. The leader's body that fell to the ground no longer moved, and a large stream of blood flowed out from under him, and soon stained a large chunk of the ground red.
"Boom ......"
This time the explosion sounded, Tan Fusheng heard some sounds in his ears that were very different from the sound of cannons and gunshots, and he knew that it was a very vicious weapon of Tuanyong in Liulin Town--gunpowder canister.
This kind of tin can contains medicine, a person who can blow up Fang Yuanzhang Xu. In the explosion, there were also pieces of broken iron and iron filings flying sideways, which was extremely vicious.
Tan Fusheng had encountered this thing when he was charging when the town wall had just collapsed, but fortunately he himself was only cut by a piece of iron with a small wound that was not long.
The attack still ended in defeat for the rebels. Lan Chaozhu only left three hundred men in front of the chest wall at the west entrance of the town, and when he attacked from three sides, he lost seven or eight hundred soldiers again. Liu Xian's troops in the town also opened the breastwork wall when the rebels retreated, and chased them up to the brick and stone pile.
Tan Fusheng was captured. There were more than 20 people who were taken prisoner with him, and Liu Xian's soldiers with white flags also sent hundreds of seriously wounded people who were wounded but not dead to the Blue Camp army.
Attacking twice a day but losing troops and losing troops, failed to take advantage of the slightest. The entire Blues were depressed. Lan Chaozhu looked at Tuan Yong and Qingzhuang who carried the wounded to the battle, and his eyes were fierce and hated to tear everyone apart. But he couldn't do this, it was too immoral and unpopular, so he could only watch these people go back to the town without hurting a hair. He's going to crush his teeth!
There were 1,500 people in two battles, and there was also a Su Yi. Su Yi didn't mention it, just these 1,500 people were a big loss for the blue battalion. Because these 1,500 people are all bloody warriors who charge into battle! The portion is much heavier than a rabble.
Cai Changling walked in front of Lan Chaozhu, looked at Lan Chaozhu's eyes full of worry, and whispered to the second brother, "Don't be rash." If you can't beat Liulin Town, you can't beat it, and if you lose face, we'll pick it up elsewhere. You can't repeat the mistakes of your big brother! ”
Lan Chaoding, the former boss of the blue battalion, and more than 100,000 people were mobilized by Luo Bingzhang to mobilize an army for the sake of a Mianzhou city (Mianyang). When Lan Chaozhu transferred to southern Shaanxi, there were no more than 10,000 soldiers, and compared with more than 300,000 people at the peak of Li Lan's uprising, and more than 100,000 people at the peak of the blue camp, how weak they were!
It has been nearly 10 days since the army moved in Liulin Town, not to mention the situation in Yangxian County, only here in Liulin Town, the morale of today's post-war is set to drop significantly. Liulin Town is not Nanzheng Mansion City, it is excusable that you can't take the Mansion City, and you can't take Liulin Town, there is really nothing to say.
"Unless heavy artillery is mobilized to bombard the target, and then the elite of the army is concentrated, and the night is used to cover up and kill, regardless of casualties, Liulin can be taken. But it's not worth paying such a price for a small town.
If you can kill the culprit Liu Thief, it's okay. If Liu Xian is allowed to run away, he will only go around Chenggu County once, and he will be able to pull out a team of soldiers and horses casually, and he can turn a town into a second place in Liulin anywhere.
If our army suffers heavy casualties, not to mention whether Zhou Shaoyong in Xixiang will have other ideas. Let's just say that Chen Tianzhu behind him, this person is not the incompetent disciple of the Eight Banners of Buktan, and he will definitely take the opportunity to send troops.
Fight the world, not the gains and losses of one city and one place! ”
