In general siege warfare, in addition to the means of internal and external cooperation, sneak attacks, etc., it is nothing more than pouring water on the fire to roast, destroying the city wall through the effect of thermal expansion and cold contraction, and then collapsing the city wall by throwing stones and other means. Alternatively, dig deep into the ground and reach the city, or use siege equipment such as ladders, ladders, and ramming vehicles. In short, the so-called siege is just two methods, one is to storm and destroy the city walls or gates, and the other is to avoid the walls or gates and directly fight the enemy inside the city.

Obviously, it is impossible for the big-headed Taishan thief to adopt the means of combining the inside and the outside, and he does not have that mass base. It was impossible to burn, it was impossible to pour water, it was impossible to dig a hole, he did not have time. It is also impossible to use ladders, siege engines and other equipment, he does not have that condition. Therefore, the only way in front of him is to sneak attack! The soldiers lurked outside the city, trying not to be detected by the other party, and lurked as close as possible, after that, lit a fire, and the soldiers carried high ladders, approached the city wall as fast as possible, and climbed the wall to fight the other party. Moreover, he also had to try to end the battle before dawn, and if he couldn't succeed within three hours, reinforcements from Xiapi would be coming!

It seems that the sneak attack was successful! Although the private soldier of the Tian family shocked the entire manor with a terrible howl when the torch was lit, it had little effect.

The chickens and dogs under the big head carried high ladders and galloped towards the city wall under the light of torches behind them. While running, while screaming, the formation is like a herd of wild boars rushing towards the rice field.

Build a ladder, climb a ladder, and go up the wall in one go, in just a few minutes. I have to say that the big head of these local chickens and dogs still have physical strength, after all, jumping in the horns of Mount Tai, even if they didn't have physical strength, they slowly practiced it. What's more, the big head paints a bright picture for them. Capture the dock fort, take the money at will, first come, first served, if you are lucky, you can even get a woman!

When Tianfu's private soldiers quickly assembled and drove to the city wall, the west and north walls had already been lost, and only a small number of Tianfu private soldiers on the southern city wall were in a dying struggle. The other party in Dongcheng did not attack, and the truth that the three were missing one was generally known. Bandits dressed in a variety of non-standard costumes, armed with various weapons called weapons, poured into the city like locusts from the corridors of the city walls. Immediately afterwards, the gates of the western and northern walls were opened, and the Tarzan thieves swarmed in.

It was just a small moment, and the private soldiers of Tianfu had no support for the city wall, so they could only fight face-to-face!

The situation at this time is extremely unfavorable to Tian Fan's side! As a result, only half of the more than 1,000 private soldiers can fight, and the other half is still in a situation where they are in pain when they move, and their combat effectiveness is basically equal to zero. Second, there were many people on the other side, nearly 2,000 people, and the total number of fighters on this side was only about 700, and they had just gotten up and were in a state of not being able to find the north.

However, after all, the strength of the thieves is only the strength of the local chickens and dogs, and there is still a certain gap compared to the private soldiers of Tianfu, so after a short period of time when the initial chaos was extremely chaotic, and the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers, the private soldiers of Tianfu gradually held the formation under the leadership of their respective leaders.

After Tian Fan learned about the current situation, he decisively ordered to abandon most areas and retreat into the workshop to meet the enemy. Tian Long, Tian Hu, Wang Zi, Zhu Yuan, He Xi, Tang Xian and others each led a small team of men and horses to fight and retreat with the enemy, and the soldiers who could walk helped the residents of the small city to retreat together. This is located in the southeast corner of the city, and the walls of this location have not been lost, and they can still resist for a while. What's more, there is an arsenal here!

In the arsenal, there are weapons specially approved by Liu Bei for Tianfu's private soldiers, these weapons include Xuzhou military standard knives and guns, and some things that are not available in other places, such as ten-round crossbows and hundred-round crossbows, such as catapults, such as ballistas, and even, even the secret of the Xuzhou army - poisonous water, there are as many as 100 cans in reserve! It's not much, but it should be enough to deal with enemies outside!

The private soldiers guarded several intersections, fought to the death with the enemy, and finally stabilized the situation, and Tian Fan's heart that had been carrying it relaxed slightly. Looking at Lu Xin and Huang Yueying who were embarrassed around him, he didn't know what to say. The two girls were disheveled, and of course they didn't show their flesh, but they were really embarrassed. It is impossible for anyone at this time not to be embarrassed, sleep well, and suddenly the enemy attacks, and it is good to run out naked. Didn't you see that many of the private soldiers didn't have time to put on their shirts?

He didn't know what to say, but Lu Xin and Huang Yueying had something to say.

Lu Xin glared at Tian Fan fiercely and said, "Go home and never stay outside again!" ”

Huang Yueying nodded again and again, gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Tian Fan, I will never go out with you again!" ”

Tian Fan rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, do you blame me? Who am I blaming me?

At this moment, Tian Long came over, and he said: "Childe, there are almost two thousand people on the other side, and there are all kinds of weapons, many of them still use wooden sticks and farm tools, and there are few bows and arrows, so they don't look like regular troops at all, but like bandits and bandits." ”

Tian Fan nodded, frowned, and said, "Brother Long, we in Xuzhou, there are no such big bandits, they came out of there?" There's something strange about this! ”

After a slight pause, he asked, "What about the east and south walls?" ”

Tian Long said: "Don't worry, Tian Hu and Wang Zi will lead people to guard it, they can't beat it!" ”

Tian Fan looked at a dark sky and said, "Brother Long, although they can't beat it, this is not a solution. Well, then, you should choose twenty people from among our former military officers, and assign them to the two walls on each side, and let them be in charge of commanding the private soldiers at home. Also, all the crossbow machines in the warehouse were moved to the city wall, each side of the city wall was only about 300 steps, and several kinds of crossbow machines could almost cover this range. With a brother who used to be in the army in command, it must be able to play a big role. ”

Tian Long agreed, and went to handle it without mentioning it.

Tian Fan looked at the embarrassed and somewhat panicked private soldiers around him, and said loudly: "Brothers, are you afraid? ”

Several private soldiers who were seen by him shouted: "Childe, we are not afraid!" ”

Tian Fan scolded: "Fart! Unafraid? Don't be afraid to have a ghost! You have never been on the battlefield, although you usually train hard, but no matter how good the training is, as long as you have never been on the battlefield, even if you are not a real soldier, how can you not be afraid? ”

A few people laughed embarrassedly.

Tian Fan smiled: "I'm afraid, it doesn't matter, what matters is that you can't give up your determination and perseverance to resist!" Rest assured, within three hours, reinforcements from Xiapi will arrive. When the time comes, the enemy will have nowhere to go if he wants to run! ”

Obviously, Tian Fan saw that the tense backs of the dead soldiers loosened slightly.

He continued to work hard and said, "Brothers, I don't know who they are, but I know that they are much worse than you!" If you look at their clothes and their weapons, they are just a bunch of peasants who pick up knives and guns, they can't even talk about training, they don't have a formation at all, they only know that they rush forward in a swarm, what is there to be afraid of them? Hahaha, touch your crotch, is there that pout? If you have, take up the courage of the men and kill the enemy for me! ”

As if to prove that Tian Fan's words were true, under the command of several veterans who had retired from the army on the city wall, the first wave of crossbow arrows was fired almost simultaneously. The crowd only heard a few "bangs" and "buzzes", followed by countless screams and panicked cries of the enemy!

At this moment, the morale of the dead soldiers all rose. Although they were disheveled, they straightened their backs one by one, revealing their iron bones in the still cold night breeze of the spring night.

One of the private soldiers shouted: "We are not afraid, we will kill the enemy!" ”

Several private soldiers shouted: "We are not afraid, we will kill the enemy!" ”

All the private soldiers shouted: "We are not afraid, we will kill the enemy!" ”

Tian Fan's heart finally let go completely! As long as these only 600 people can muster up the courage, with the help of advanced weapons and favorable terrain, he is confident that he can hold these three hours! The flying pigeon biography has been sent, and Tian Fan believes that the reinforcements from Xiapi will arrive soon!

The private soldiers shouted for a while, and an old soldier who had participated in the Juxian Guard War and later retired with a broken leg came to Tang Xian, who was carrying a bow and arrow, with two crutches, and hugged his fists and said, "Tang Guard, how are your archery skills?" ”

Tang Xian was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Tian Fan replied for him: "A hundred steps through Yang!" ”

The old soldier nodded, looked at the jar that had just been lifted out of the warehouse by the private soldiers, and said, "Governor, this is poisonous water, right?" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Yes, it's poisonous water!" ”

The old pawn smiled and said, "Childe, let them taste the taste of poisonous water, how about it?" ”

Tian Fan smiled and looked at this old pawn carefully, only to see that he was eight feet tall and extremely burly, especially a pair of arms that were unusually thick, and it was estimated that he was a guy with a lot of strength. Nodding, Tian Fan said: "Tang Xian, follow this brother and listen to his arrangement!" ”

Catapults and ballistas are affected by the range and angle of fire, so they cannot be used at all, otherwise Tian Fan would have used them a long time ago. He now wanted to know what the hell this seemingly experienced old man was trying to do!

Tang Xian agreed and followed the old man.

After a while, the two men came to the front line, where the two soldiers were crowded together on opposite sides of a street, about twenty paces apart.

The old soldier threw away his crutches, landed his rarely used prosthetic leg on the ground, and after standing firm, he took the large jar weighing about thirty pounds from the hands of a private soldier. After weighing it, he looked at the opposite side through the gap in the robe in front of him, and said to Tang Xian: "Tang Guard, I threw the jar on top of the other party's head, and you shot an arrow to break the jar, how about it?" ”

Tang Xian looked at the altar and felt a little unconvinced. More than 20 steps, converted to the current unit of about 30 meters, throwing a 30-pound jar out of 30 meters, this is not something that ordinary people can do!

The old pawn smiled, handed the jar to the pawn next to him, spit into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands, squatted down slightly, and then took the jar, luck started, only to hear a muffled roar, the old pawn burst into a shout, the body rotated half a circle, and the jar flew to a high place as if it was launched with a catapult!

Tang Xian looked at the trajectory of the jar and immediately judged that even if it couldn't hit the top of the opponent's head, it was not far away. So, he immediately drew his bow and arrows, and when the jar rose to the highest point, it fell rapidly, and when it was still a few steps away from the opponent, he released the bowstring.

Everyone only heard a crisp sound, and the jar exploded five or six meters above the opponent's head, and the caustic soda solution in the jar was stimulated by this force, and it turned into thousands of points, and poured obliquely on the top of the opponent's head!

The other party exclaimed, and then there was an angry scolding!

The private soldiers of Tianfu cheered in unison, even if they didn't know what the water was for, but after all, they could get each other, so it was good! After being attacked by several rounds of sword rain, the other party was smart, hiding in the corner of the wall or out of reach of the bow and arrows, and the crossbow arrows on the city wall only had a deterrent effect, and no longer had an actual killing effect.

And Tang Xian and the old pawn didn't get angry, they just smiled and watched the play. It didn't take long for the poisonous water to kick in, and the bandits, who had been doused all over their faces, began to scream. That kind of scream is unbearable, it can be described as poignant, and it is even more abrupt in the darkness before dawn!
