It didn't take long for the corpse to fall from the side of the earthen wall, and blood gushed out, steaming hot, but it was soon frozen again, turning into pieces of blood ice.

Including the corpse was also frozen on the ground, and from the point of view, it was a red color, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, which made people feel sick.

Zhang Tao felt a little like crying, he never thought that this time he originally wanted to pick a soft persimmon to pinch, let Chen Guangfu see his ability, after going back, how could he get a chief soldier, even if it was the deputy chief soldier, but he didn't expect that this time he ran in a hurry, but kicked a super hard iron plate.

Hit Xishan Village, he suffered heavy losses, there is no way, now to fight the earth fence, but the result is still the same, a group of rebels were filled in by him, but soon they were slaughtered by others, and it was a fierce battle for most of the day, he died hundreds of his subordinates, this time those rebels are not doing it, do not bring such a trick.

They are rebels, they want to get rich, they want to enjoy, they want to play with women, they don't come to look for death, according to Zhang Tao's tossing, it won't take a few days, they will all have to be played to death by Zhang Tao.

So when Zhang Tao ordered again to fill in a group of men and horses, he found that his order was not good, and this group of rebels who were ordered to take them up and down were actually disobedient and disrespectful, and persuaded Zhang Tao to fight like this anymore.

They can't afford to die here and end up here, and then they won't do anything.

Zhang Tao was so angry that he immediately wanted to kill a few people, set up his authority, and forced them to send troops to attack Tuweizi, but he was just about to let his own soldiers kill people, and those rebels actually glared angrily, raised the weapons in their hands, and made a pair of deaths anyway.

Zhang Tao glanced at the rebel generals around him, and saw that these people all looked at him badly, so he was secretly shocked in his heart, so he quickly withdrew his order and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

After withdrawing their camp again, Zhang Tao discussed with his rebel generals for a night, and finally had to admit it, this Xishan village is not easy to provoke, they really can't beat it, this time the loss is too great, and if the morale is completely gone, there will be no good result, so Zhang Tao was reluctant, but in the end he had to choose to withdraw to Muping County, first cooperate with Chen Guangfu to attack the county, and it is okay to defeat Muping County.

On the morning of the fourth day, the rebels withdrew from the camp and retreated towards Muping County in despair.

Wu Shengtian and Liu did not lead the army to pursue the rebels, this kind of thing is not within their control, as long as the rebels do not come to fight Xishan Village and Tuweizi, then they are too lazy to care about what the rebels do, of course, Muping County is also within the scope of their defense, after all, there is nearly one brother in the county.

Seeing that after the rebels retreated, Liu Wei hurriedly sent people to collect the corpses of the rebels, including some refugees who were killed, but he was not merciful and wanted to bury the corpses of the rebels, but sent people to cut off people's heads quickly.

Ten days ago, the two or three hundred rebels they killed, the heads of the beheaded people had already been booked out by the officials or generals, and after the news spread secretly, a few days ago, there were many officials and generals in the surrounding areas who sent people to contact and try to order some rebel heads.

This time the rebels came to attack Xishan Village and Tuweizi, four days down, were killed nearly 1,000 people, this head is not in short supply, now the price is almost 30 taels of silver, 1,000 heads, but it is 30,000 taels of white silver, now do not fish, there is no such shop in the village.

So looking at the piles of rebel heads, Liu was not happy to grin, he didn't feel that these heads were terrifying and hideous at all, but he felt quite pleasing to the eye, these heads, it won't be long before they were estimated to be sold out again, this is a good deal!

Looking at Liu Wei's face that was secretly happy, Wu Shengtian asked him coldly: "Are you thinking about it now, if the rebels can come again?" ”

Liu Wei was looking at those heads, his saliva was dripping, he didn't react, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" ”

Wu Shengtian's mind was suddenly full of black lines, and he almost kicked this money-greedy guy away, scolding: "You want to be beautiful, and you are not afraid of being held to death!" ”

Only then did Liu Wei realize that he had leaked his mouth, so he hurriedly pulled Wu Shengtian with a dry smile, and wanted to have a drink in private to relax and relax.

Just when the battle in Xishan Village ended with a great success, Muping County also fell into a bitter battle, since Zhang Tao brought reinforcements, and brought two Hongyi cannons, Chen Guangfu and Zhang Tao divided labor, Chen Guangfu led part of the rebels, continued to attack Muping County, Zhang Tao led troops to attack Xishan Village.

After Zhang Tao left, Chen Guangfu also began to lead the army to attack Muping County, he first sent troops to the various city gates and tried it, but still found that the north gate is the most difficult to deal with, there is a group of defenders at the north gate, unknown origin, with a lot of sharp birds, he sent a subordinate, this time led eight hundred, to test the attack on the north gate of the pass.

But after a while, he was defeated and returned, and the main general who was sent to lead the troops was actually outside the Guanxiang of Beiguan, nearly 300 steps away from the Guanxiang, and inexplicably I don't know what happened, and was hit in the brain by a bullet that flew from nowhere, and even if he was beaten to the brain, he died on the spot.

After Chen Guangfu heard this, he didn't believe it at first, and then he was startled, combined with the Qian general manager surnamed Wan, who was outside Xishan Village and was almost wiped out by Xishan Village, thinking that it was true that this thing could not be done, there really was such a kind of sharp bird gun in this world, which could take people's lives three hundred steps away, although it was incredible, but through these two things, this matter is not necessarily not true.

And many of the rebels who came back from defeat have confirmed that this is absolutely true, not only that the rebel himself was killed at such a distance, but at the same time, many people were killed and injured by inexplicably flying bullets at this distance, absolutely not lying.

Chen Guangfu was even more cautious this time, and directly marked the distance within 300 steps of the city wall as his forbidden area, and he couldn't be careless about anything in the future, breaking into this distance, otherwise, he would be killed by this inexplicable bullet if he didn't get it.

As for the North Gate Gate, Chen Guangfu was not so dead-eyed, knowing that it was not easy to deal with there, he had to send someone over to fight it, since the North Gate was not easy to fight, then he would hit other city gates, so he gave up continuing to attack the North Gate, just sent people to block the North Gate from afar, and he himself, after so many days of temptation, decided to personally lead the troops to attack the South Gate.

The south gate of Muping County, a few years ago, the nearby Xin'an River had a flood, the flood soaked the south gate for a long time, and the south city wall was damaged in many places, although it was repaired to a certain extent afterwards, but the foundation was always damaged, and the city wall was still cracked in some places, so the south city wall is the weakest place in Muping County.

Therefore, after careful observation, he finally chose the southern city wall as a breakthrough, concentrated his forces, and began to storm the area around the southern city gate.

At the same time, he pulled the two bronze hair cannons brought by the army, as well as a Hongyi cannon brought by Zhang Tao this time, to the south gate, erected them outside the city, and began to bombard a damaged section of the city wall in the south.

In two days, the area around the south gate was fiercely attacked by the rebels, although the defenders in the county town of Muping also put up some resistance, but the defense was always in a shaky state.

The damaged section of the city wall in the south was also heavily shelled by the rebels for two consecutive days, and two large hairs and a Hongyi cannon repeatedly shelled this section of the city wall, and the city bricks flew wildly, and soon the outer layer of the city bricks was stripped of the internal rammed earth structure by the cannons, and it collapsed with a bang.

The inside of this section of the city wall itself has been soaked by floods, and it has cracks, and the main structure is not stable, coupled with the erosion of perennial freezing and summer rain, the city wall structure is much weaker than the city walls in other places.

After two days of fierce artillery bombardment by the rebels, the rebels crossed the moat and put more than 200 catties of gunpowder at the foot of the city wall.

At this time, a clever little official thought of a way, and asked Zhao Zhizhou to mobilize manpower to draw a large amount of water from various wells in the city, and after heating it, he kept transporting it to the city wall overnight, pouring it down along the city wall, and overnight, this section of the city wall was frozen and solid.

Only then did this crumbling city wall temporarily stabilize, and the angry Chen Guangfu also jumped to his feet and scolded, winter can be said to be very unfavorable for the besieging side, the weather has become their natural enemy, and the defending side can make full use of such a cold climate to deal with the attacking side.

Although this method of watering and freezing to stabilize the city wall is good for the time being, everyone knows that this method can only last until the beginning of spring.

Once the weather warms up and the snow and ice begin to melt, this damaged section of the city wall will definitely turn into pieces completely after this watering and freezing, and once the ice and snow melt, then this section of the wall will definitely no longer be able to hold on, and it will definitely collapse immediately.

But at the moment, there is no way to do it, although I know that the city wall will collapse after the beginning of spring, but if I don't use this method at this time, then this Muping county town will definitely not be able to hold it.
