After the war horse fell, the rebel cavalry fell to the ground, stupid as pigs, unable to struggle alive and dead, angry and scolding, such a scene, attracted some villagers watching the battle on the wall, but was so shocked that the rest of the rebel cavalry turned their horses and ran, and could no longer care about chasing and killing those refugees.

Zhang Tao wanted to vomit blood in the back, but the cavalry was the elite in his hands for him, if they were forced to chase and kill the refugees, and if they were consumed, it would not be cost-effective, so he had to order Ming Jin to withdraw the troops, but even so, he was still lost in front of the battle for more than 30 horses, which made him die of pain.

This time Zhang Tao felt a little scared, more than 100 cavalry, galloping at high speed, one by one, was actually knocked over by the opponent more than 30 people, such a big loss, people can't help but be frightened, if this is a few more times, it is estimated that his cavalry will also fold here this time. ‘

So he no longer dared to send cavalry to show off his might in front of the two armies, so angry that he could only sit and wait for the Hongyi cannon behind him to be transported, and then consider attacking Xishan Village.

And the remaining refugees, at this time, finally fled to the gate of the village, knelt outside the gate one after another, kowtowed again and again, and begged Xishan Village to open the gate and let them in for refuge.

At this time, Wu Shengtian asked the people in the village to be ready to accept these refugees, and set aside a vacant land for the villagers to surround him, and then ordered the gate of the village to be opened and let these refugees enter the village.

The suspension bridge creaked and was slowly lowered and put down on the trench, and the suspension bridge assembled with heavy logs fell to the ground with a bang, and the hemp rope with the thick arms of the suspension bridge on both sides was in a taut state at any time, so it can be seen that as long as the command is given, the suspension bridge will be opened immediately.

And the soldiers of the platoon that had been prepared in the walled gate, all of them were on the bayonet at this time, and the bright bayonet pointed at the walled gate, and the walled gate was slowly opened from the inside, and when the walled gate was opened, those refugees who had already been desperate were in tears, crying and swarming in, and rushed towards the village.

The refugees were really scared at this time, for fear that they would not be able to enter the village if they were slow, so you pushed me and squeezed onto the suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge made a creaking sound, and some people were weak and couldn't squeeze into others, and they were accidentally squeezed into the trench under the suspension bridge.

In the trench, Liu Wei and Wu Shengtian had ordered a lot of sharp wooden stakes to be buried in advance, and after pouring water, the sharp wooden stakes were frozen firmly, and as soon as the person fell into the trench, he was immediately pierced to death on the sharp wooden stakes, and the screams sounded one after another, and the blood splattered out of Lao Gao, which made people feel miserable to watch.

So someone from above shouted, "Don't squeeze! Come in one by one, and whoever is crowding will put away the suspension bridge, so that no one can get in! Slow down, don't crowd ......"

In the shouting and scolding of the villagers in Xishan Village, these refugees became a little more stable, and seeing someone fall into the trench and die on a sharp wooden stake, they did not dare to move, so they could only slow down and start walking towards the village.

Liu's different worries are justified, as expected, there are a few rebel dead soldiers hidden among the refugees, and these guys are also wearing refugee clothes, mixed in with the refugees, one is to spy on the refugees, and the other is to try to storm the stockade when there is an opportunity.

Now Xishan Village took the initiative to lower the suspension bridge and open the gate of the village, which made these spies mixed with the refugees immediately see the opportunity, as long as the suspension bridge rope is cut, then Xishan Village will not be able to raise the suspension bridge, which will play a huge role in their attack on Xishan Village next.

So these spies, glanced at each other, caught in the crowd, and slowly walked onto the suspension bridge, just as they stepped on the suspension bridge, several people began to break out at the same time, pulled out the bright thick back short knife from their arms, howled and pounced on the ropes of the suspension bridge on both sides, waved the short knife in their hands high, and slashed towards the sling.

At this time, Wu Shengtian, who had been carefully observing the situation of the refugees below at the gate of the walled gate, saw at a glance that the situation of these spies was not right, and when they rose up and pulled out the short knife, he immediately shouted: "Kill those spies!" Fire! ”

Those who had already prepared were a few first-class shooters, and at this time they immediately began to aim at those spies, only to hear a burst of gunshots, and several spies suddenly became stunned, and blood beads spurted out of their bodies, and they shook and fell on the suspension bridge.

Only one person was only slightly injured, but he struggled to rush to the side of the rope of the drawbridge, waved the short knife in his hand, roared like a wild beast, and used all his sharp weapons to slash towards the sling.

At this moment, from the side wall, there was a sudden swishing sound, and a sharp arrow left the string, shooting at the outlaw like an eye.

With a pop, the sharp arrows shot directly into the neck of this fellow, and the sharp clusters of arrows cut off the outlaw's neck artery, and then inserted deep into his chest wall, nailed to his vertebrae, instantly cutting off his nerves and paralyzing his body instantly.

The outlaw screamed, stared at his unwilling eyes, and planted the drawbridge at one end, and the heavy and thick short knife in his hand was also thrown out of the long distance, and fell into the trench, and the falling body was pierced on the sharp stake in the trench.

After the trench in Xishan Village was dug, no water was put in, but a diversion ditch was dug to divert the stagnant water from the ditch on weekdays.

Because the winter weather here is very cold, once the ditch is put into the water, it will quickly form thick ice in winter, but it will lose its defensive effect, so in many places in the north, although some walled forts and even cities, digging trenches and moats, but under normal circumstances, before winter, the water must be emptied, and the winter water of the province is frozen.

Xishan Village does the same, so this ditch can still provide considerable defense for the village in winter.

The outlaw fell into the trench, and was immediately pierced, and the dead could no longer die, but they scared the refugees next to them enough, and they also realized that there were spies hidden among them, and they were so frightened that they quickly knelt down on the drawbridge, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy, for fear that the villagers of Xishan Village would be angry with them and kill them all.

At this moment, the people who did not die fell on the suspension bridge, screaming loudly and rolling, and some people rolled directly into the trench and were pierced to death on the sharp wooden stakes.

It was only at this time that someone above shouted: "Hold your heads in your hands, raise your arms, and slowly enter the village, if anyone puts down their hands, shoot immediately!" ”

When the refugees heard this, they quickly raised their arms one after another, hugged the back of their heads, and began to continue to stand up and walk towards the village.

It was only at this time that Liu Wei and Wu Shengcai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the arrow that shot from the side just now, so they turned their heads to see where this arrow came from.

At this time, everyone moved out of the way, revealing a young man who was thin but looked very sharp and sturdy, and he still held a hard bow in his hand at this time, and a carved arrow in one hand, which was obviously shot by him.

"A company of small township soldiers, Zheng Erbao, a three-row foot archer, see the two masters!" The archer saw that Liu Fei and Wu Shengtian were looking at him, so he quickly knelt down on one knee and reported his name.

Wu Shengtian nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Your arrow is shot very accurately, remember a merit, reward five taels of silver, and add a bowl of meat at night!" A jug of wine! ”

That Zheng Erbao was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly kowtowed to thank him.

This Zheng Erbao Wu Shengtian and Liu Wei both know each other, this guy used to be a hunter, and he practiced a good archery with his father, this area has not been peaceful over the years, and their family was also broken by bandits, only he was left with a younger brother, who escaped the bandits' attack on the village, and was later included in the village by Liu Wei, and became a foot archer in the township soldier company.

Today he happened to be helping the battle on the wall, and just now he saw that spy about to cut the rope of the drawbridge, so he immediately fired an arrow, and accurately shot that guy to death, which is a great achievement.

After hearing this, the others were quite envious of this guy and stepped forward to congratulate him.

At this time, the war was not over, and Wu Shengtian and the others didn't say anything, seeing that the refugees had entered the stockade, they were driven to the open field, and the villagers were taken care of.

Then they were taken out one by one for a search, and two spies who hid their blades were found, one of the spies became violent and wanted to fight hard, but was immediately stabbed by several village soldiers with spears, and then the body was dismembered by random knives.

Seeing that he could not escape, the other spy pulled out his short knife with a strange scream, took a refugee hostage, and demanded that he be released from the stockade.

In the midst of the tension, the accused refugee was so frightened that he peed his pants and begged loudly not to kill him, but in this case, Wu Shengtian did not hesitate, and immediately ordered to do it, and several township soldiers went up with spears and stabbed them, and even the hostage and the spy were immediately stabbed to the ground, and then cut off the head of the spy and threw the corpse out of the wall.

It was not until after a thorough examination, and after no hidden spies were found, that the refugees were temporarily stayed, locked up in a courtyard, guarded, and sent a pot of hot porridge for them, which was sent to the courtyard and distributed.

This was all a trivial matter, and then the two sides formed a temporary confrontation, and the rebels did not immediately organize a new offensive.

Liu Wei asked Wu Shengtian: "Old Wu, why did you say the rebels stopped?" To say that their losses just now were not too big, there are so many of them, there is no reason to stop! You should attack again before it gets dark! But why hasn't there been any movement? ”

Wu Shengtian took out his binoculars, climbed onto a towering lookout platform in the corner of the stockade with Liu, took out the binoculars and gathered in front of him to begin to observe the enemy troops outside the village, and beyond.
