Chapter 460: Fill in the trench and boil water
"It shouldn't be more than a month!"
"In less than a month, you can come up with such regulations?" Mr. Li He first said something in surprise, then his face turned cautious, and he said in a muffled voice: "I'm afraid I can't swallow it in one bite, I'm going to gnaw it!" ”
Li Dajin nodded, and said with a smile: "I strangled them inside and out yesterday, and it was too late to ask for reinforcements, and even if the reinforcements came, we have completely swept away this place, let the brothers settle down first, and take your time." ”
Li He nodded, he and Li Dajin turned around separately and shouted to settle down, the Feng family's brigade, some neat and some chaotic, each began to stop, the cattle on the cart were unloaded, and all kinds of materials were also moved.
This side is not far from the wall, the bunker on the wall is very simple, the people inside look at it with trepidation, and some people stupidly show their heads, but they are driven by the riders wandering around the periphery, and they are killed by an arrow from the wall, and they fall into the deep ditch below.
"Three hundred and twelve" Zhang Hubin was there to point the number of the enemy's horse team, the more he counted, the more ugly his face became, there were more than 350 horsemen, and the foot soldiers actually exceeded 2,003, and the people in the village were not so many of them, not to mention that many of the homeless people had no tricks, and these outside looked like veterans of wielding knives and guns.
"Lian Zheng, a total of sixteen people who can shoot arrows, have all called over!" Someone behind Zhang Hubin said softly.
Zhang Hubin took a deep breath to try to calm himself down, and then turned around and went down the wall, where more than a dozen men had gathered, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.
Among the people in the rivers and lakes, most of them can shoot arrows, compared with the ordinary reckless men who dance knives and guns, they are always stronger, not to mention the calm heart, and there are also calm and solid, otherwise they will not be able to shoot the target prey, although the faces of the archers are not good-looking, but they are already the most calm group in this village.
Zhang Hubin arched his hand and said simply: "Everyone, don't shoot quickly when you shoot arrows, just stare at the other party's leaders and archers, and leave the rest to others." ”
Everyone exchanged glances, and one of them said in a sullen voice: "Everyone understands Leader Zhang's orders, but looking at the situation outside, can we hold it?" ”
"Can there be reinforcements?"
"Master Jin hasn't moved in Xuzhou all the time, did you leave us here!"
One person started up, and everyone talked about it.
"If you can hold it, you can have reinforcements coming, and Master Jin won't ignore everyone!" Zhang Hubin did not hesitate at all, and simply replied neatly.
At present, no matter how you look at this situation, everyone is inevitably impetuous, but Zhang Hubin is so firm and confident, as soon as he said this, everyone didn't know how to ask, and they all nodded for a while, Zhang Hubin lowered his voice and said: "We Xuzhou people come to Huai'an Mansion to grab food, it is incompatible, and it will not end well if we are caught, or not die, but this immortality may be more uncomfortable than death!" ”
"Leader Zhang, rest assured, if we dare to come, we dare to stake this life!" Speaking of which, there are also people who have a reckless temperament and answer loudly in a thick voice.
"It's moving outside, it's moving outside!" Someone shouted on the wall, and Zhang Hubin didn't care about talking to everyone, just waved his hand, turned around and went up to the wall first.
Seeing that the enemy brigade that had just stopped began to move forward, Zhang Hubin's face was even more ugly when he saw the enemy's movements, the other party actually had a shield, and there were so many faces.
Green forest cottage, ringing horse pole, everyone is relying on bravery, swarming to rush to the group, this shield is in the way and inconvenient to use, so basically not seen.
And the regimental training of the village warrior, there are a lot of shields in the team, and the sword and card players even have to get more money, because they can't use it if they are not skilled in martial arts, and the imperial court soldiers and horses use this the most.
Looking at so many shields, it means that the training of the other party is not too bad, and the organization also has rules, and I am afraid that this battle will be even more difficult to fight next.
"Boiling water! Prepare with boiling water! Zhang Hubin shouted.
Compared with the disaster victims in other places, there is one thing that is not lacking, that is, iron tools, farm tools and iron pots, which are produced by the Xu family, which need to be obtained immediately, and even many normal villages do not have such sufficient iron tools.
The shield shielded the man pushing the cart, and behind the cart, there were even archers, and the cart was piled with dirt.
With a "whoosh", someone couldn't help but shoot arrows with a bow, and the arrows were nailed to the shield, which slowed the cart a little and then moved on.
"Don't shoot arrows, it's useless to shoot arrows now!" Zhang Hubin roared.
More than a dozen carts approached the trench on the edge of the village, and the boiling water in the village had been transported to the wall, and some homeless people were anxious, and they were about to splash the wooden basin, and when they stood up, the enemy archers behind the cart suddenly found an opportunity, and shot an arrow, and the homeless people screamed, stood unsteadily, and fell directly out of the wall with the wooden basin.
Before the homeless man died, boiling water was spilled in the basin, and several people around him were screaming badly, causing chaos on the wall, while the enemy was applauding, as if they were applauding this archery skill.
"Listen to my orders, don't listen to my orders, Lao Tzu will kill you with a knife first!" Zhang Hubin was also a little angry, if Zhao Ziying's main team was here, or even only those mixed group exercises, it would not be so messy.
Fortunately, the homeless people have also been trained before coming to Caowozi, and they also know the rules and obey orders, Zhang Hubin finished shouting, and the people below were all scolding and restraining angrily, and finally no one messed around.
The earth on the cart was dumped in the ditch, and then slowly retreated, and several of the archers in this direction opened their bows and loosened their strings, because they could not hit each other, and their shields were very tightly covered.
The trench was dug very wide at that time, and it was done in strict accordance with the rules, but across this ditch and then across the cart, it was difficult for the boiling water to splash people.
The carts went back and loaded the earth on that side again, and this time there was experience, and many people followed far behind with baskets and utensils for the earth.
This time, the cart poured the earth into the ditch, and not far from the ditch, the people who followed poured the dirt on the cart, and went forward again.
Zhang Hubin gritted his teeth and stared, his hand was ready to be raised at any time, but he never raised it, and the initial tense state of the archers also relaxed, and he really couldn't find a chance to shoot arrows.
In the wall, some people rode horses back and forth, and the situation on the four sides of the wall was constantly reported, although the other three enemies were just put on patrol to monitor, but Zhang Hubin did not dare to relax in the slightest.
"This kid is not very old, and he is so old-fashioned."
"Zhao Ziying will not come out badly, there are still many such people under the master!"
Some people in the rivers and lakes saw Zhang Hubin's approach, and they all felt cautious and thoughtful, and even took their hearts and minds enough.
"Jin Ye still has a great future in the future, let's be able to pass this time, it will be good in the future!"
"Let's go over this time, you should think about the benefits first!"
On the side of the Feng family's brigade, except for the guarded team, the rest of the people are digging with tools, everyone is dancing with knives and guns, and it is good to see blood in the fight, but now they are digging and working with coolies, and many people are full of resentment, but they can only do it.
This man fell into the grass and became a ringing horse because he was lazy, and he never thought that he would have to work and dig the soil today, and he did it while complaining, and the progress was very slow.
Where the grass has been beaten is okay, you can see a lot of corpses in the barren grass beach, this is the result of yesterday's battle, the corpses have all been cut off their heads, there are several pits on the ground, and the people inside have also lost their heads, and the corpses are so crooked in the pits.
"You're lucky, there's something to be buried after you die." The man teased a few words, he was lazy in his work, but he had the heart to look through the corpses to see if there were any belongings left.
When they dug in one place, a man turned over to the edge of the pit, and the grass cover on the top of the pit was also on the side, but there was no one in the pit.
"Did the people in the pit run out at that time?" He pondered for a moment, but didn't think deeply, just bent down and began to search and grope to see if there was anything valuable.
Li Dajin and Li He had been staying in front of the array, and Feng Bao, who was not together just now, also followed, and the three of them were staring at the front.
"This ditch is really wide, the regulations of this village are very good, and there are actually horse noodles, so Zhao Jin is really worried about this group of homeless people." Li He said there.
Li Dajin nodded and said: "There are a lot of military households in Xuzhou, and Zhao Jin should have such people under him, so he naturally acts in accordance with the art of war." ”
Feng Bao was a little far away from Li Dajin and Li He on the side, but when he heard this, he interjected and said: "Two, I think this ditch is almost filled, so let everyone go up and take down this stockade!" ”
Li He glanced at it and ignored it, Li Dajin put away his expression and said: "For the main attack on this side, the trench must be flush with the ground, otherwise if you rush over and be obstructed outside the wall, you will be beaten from above, and you will be seriously injured at that time." ”
Hearing this, Feng Bao sneered, pointed at the homeless Xinzhai with a whip, and said nonchalantly: "Lao Li, you are too timid, from beginning to end, there is only one person in the village who shows his head, and he shoots an arrow, and he has been stupid by us. ”
Li He turned his head to stare at him, Feng Bao felt that something was not right, and hurriedly explained: "Even if there will be deaths, how can there be people who do not die in war, and the Feng family is not not deprived of pensions."
"One more nonsense, Lao Tzu is driving you to the front, and your family must have a lot of pensions!" Li He said coldly.
In front of Li Dajin, Feng Bao could play a temper and show his face, but in front of Li He, Feng Bao was very honest, just glared at Li Dajin viciously, and then turned his head.
"Biting dogs don't bark." Li Dajin said something, and I don't know if Lu Dao was emotional or what.
Li He suddenly straightened up on the horse, put his hand on the pergola and looked at it, and said suspiciously: "Why is there smoke inside, is it burning something?" ”
In this barren grass beach, the only fuel available is barren grass and hay, which burns with a lot of smoke, and so many pots are boiling water
