Chapter 72, break the snow cottage again

In the camp of the Snow Cottage in Wangjia Village, the third and fourth village owners were relatively speechless, only the depressed look on their faces made people see the mood of the two.

"We can't go on like this," after a long time, the master of the three villages finally spoke, "The other party clearly wants to trap us on this side of the river." ”

"What good ideas does the third brother have?" The fourth village lord asked.

After seven or eight days, they couldn't seize a pontoon bridge, and the army could only watch the enemy on the other side show off their might, and the two village owners were very anxious.

"By now, we can all see that it is impossible to build a bridge under their noses, these days, we have two or three thousand dead and wounded, and the doctors we bring are no longer busy, and if this continues, I am afraid that the probability of death of the injured will increase, and it will not be good at that time." Sanzhai said, "At this time, there is only a strong attack." ”

"We've tried it these days, and the opponent is very strong and can't attack it." The fourth village lord said a little depressed.

"Intensify the attack, day and night, send people to drive boats, rafts and other things needed to cross the river, and force the river crossing. In addition, some people were sent to travel up the river to find suitable locations for building bridges. The master of Sanzhai arranged.

"I have already sent someone to investigate before, and there is no need to say that the downstream is directly blocked by the mountain, and it is also within the other party's field of vision; Within thirty miles upstream, there is no suitable place. "Sizhai main road.

"Then investigate fifty miles, one hundred miles, I still don't believe it, such a long river, all under their surveillance, there is no place to cross the river?" The master of the three villages said angrily.

Seeing the arrangement of the four village masters, the three village owners sighed in their hearts. He couldn't figure out what was going on.

He trusted his eldest brother's judgment. If it is said that the other party is a trap made by the two cities together, then why is it that most of the people in the Snow Mountain Village have come out now, and the other party has not sent a large army to encircle and suppress it, but has a posture of resolutely blocking itself on the other side; If this is not a trap, the owner of Sanzhai does not believe that how can a medium-sized town with a mere 20,000 people and a maximum of 4,000 soldiers and horses defeat 8,000 men and horses and still block itself.

"Could it be that there is some other conspiracy?" The owner of Sanzhai has been thinking about this question, "Could it be that the other party's target is not us, but the snow cottage." Thinking of this, the master of Sanzhai suddenly couldn't sit still and shouted "come here".

Sent a henchman to rush back to the snow cottage to inquire about the situation, and the owner of the three villages was relieved, no matter what, it is always not wrong to be prepared. It seems that in the future battles, it is necessary to retain some of their own strength, as for those whose heads were kicked by a donkey, they will die if they love it! Anyway, after the Snow Cottage grows stronger, these people who have just come to defect are not of the same mind as their brothers. The master of Sanzhai secretly pondered in his heart.

Not to mention the Snow Cottage, the soldiers in Baizhen obviously felt that the attack of the bandits had been greatly strengthened, and the frequency had gradually accelerated. The pontoon bridge, which could have been defended by twenty or thirty people in rotation without stopping, was in danger for nearly two hours. Fortunately, seeing that the situation in the rear was not good, additional manpower was dispatched, which allowed the defense line to be stabilized.

Bai Jian's strategy is to train troops in battle and constantly rotate the team guarding the bridge. After seven or eight days, the losses were very light, only three or four hundred people, 3,000 men and horses, and they had already been rotated.

"The Snow Mountain Cottage has strengthened its attack, and the next step will not be as easy as before, and the casualties will gradually increase. If they continue like this, they will most likely attack overnight. We haven't experienced a night battle yet, and we will probably suffer. "In the rear of the Baizhen army that was fighting, Bai Jianzheng accompanied Liu Feng to watch the battlefield situation, "Also, the Snow Mountain Cottage has started another round of logging, but this time it is not to build a pontoon bridge, but to build a boat across the river, probably to overwhelm us with a numerical advantage." ”

"Are you having trouble?" Liu Feng asked. He was originally responsible for defending Baizhen and supervising the manufacture of ordnance, but Baizhen was fine now, and the Aoshan City army had not yet set off, so Liu Feng came over every two days to take a look. But he also knows his own skills and doesn't point fingers.

"It's nothing for the time being, there is no dockyard to build ships, and it is too whimsical to want to rely on some small fishing boats to transport troops across the river. The boat made in this way can be used to catch fish or carry two fishermen, and as for transporting the army, the monsters in the river can make them retreat without even our hands. Bai Jian scoffed.

"That's good, I believe in your ability." Nonsense, 6th order general, can you not believe it? Besides, Liu Feng has no one else to believe.

"One more piece of good news for the mayor?" Bai Jian smiled again.

"Oh, what is it?" Liu Feng asked, he really had never seen Bai Jian have such an expression, like a child showing off his treasure.

"Maybe after this war, we will have an elite army." Bai Jian's voice was full of his joy.

"Ah, it's true!" Liu Feng was also a little unconvinced. Bai Jian said before that it would take at least seven or eight months, how could it be so fast.

"Yes, that's right." Bai Jian said with a smile, "If it's just training, it will take seven or eight months, but during this time, we have been fighting, and the time for soldiers to advance has been greatly shortened." Originally, the subordinates wanted to use this pontoon battle to sharpen the soldiers and train them all, but now it seems that this plan has failed, and can only be exchanged with blood. As long as 500 elites come out, I have the confidence to lead them to attack the other party's camp. ”

"Alright then, just do it." Liu Feng still can't accept such a thing all at once, even if it's just a game.

Snow Mountain Village unexpectedly carried out a night battle, wanting to overwhelm Bai Zhen with its military superiority, although Bai Zhen has few people, but because there are not many people on the battlefield at the same time, and the combat power is strong, plus the need for military training, it is not afraid, and Snow Mountain Village is deadlocked.

In this way, it will take a lot of time, and although Bai Zhen is in a hurry to upgrade, he also has to stalemate.

Three days later, the Snow Mountain Village sent a pathfinder to come back, more than 50 miles upstream, and finally found a place to cross the river. Immediately, the owner of Sanzhai, who was attacking unfavorably, sent 3,000 people to rush there, intending to make a detour to attack.

Bai Zhen detected the plan of the Snow Mountain Cottage and didn't pay attention to it, even if they wanted to come over, they had to go back and forth for hundreds of miles of mountain roads, they had to build bridges to cross the river, and finally there was a valley to cross, where there were already traps and 500 soldiers prepared by Bai Town, and when they arrived, it was possible for four or five days or even longer.

But Whitetown can't wait. The spies outside the mountain reported that the men and horses of Aoshan City had set off. A full 8,000 people came towards Aoshan.

"We don't have time to waste it, we must take the snow cottage within three days, and then return to defense, otherwise once both sides attack at the same time, we can't bear it." Liu Feng once again came to the front line and told the generals.

"Then there is no choice but to face it head-on." Bai Jian suggested, "Although the attack of Snow Mountain Village is still sharp, but the morale has been discharged, let some people come over, kill them head-on, drive them to attack their own camp, we take advantage of the situation to cover up, or we can defeat them directly." ”

"What is the strength of the two sides?" Liu Feng calculated.

"In the past few days, both sides have suffered heavy losses, and we will be able to take out more than 1,600 people by then, not including the people who were sent to guard the valley before, if you want to fight a decisive battle, you can leave first to participate in the battle, adding up to more than 2,000 people. The opposite battalion sent another 3,000 people away, and with the previous casualties, there were probably more than 6,000 people. ”

"One to three, the gap is a bit big, but that's it. Then do it! This time I stayed until I defeated the Snow Cottage. Also, another 500 people were transferred from Baizhen. Liu Feng made up his mind and said categorically.

On the third day, the prepared Baizhen began to retreat gradually, which made the snow thieves, who had been unable to advance an inch, overjoyed, and fought harder, driving the Baizhen soldiers off the bridge step by step, stepping on the land on the opposite bank, and using it as a stronghold to wait for reinforcements from the rear.

A team of bandits stepped on the opposite bank, and the owner of the three villages was overjoyed when he saw it, and secretly said: If you can eliminate them in one fell swoop, it should be too late.

But the bandits were happy early after all.

As soon as about 1500 bandits came ashore, White Town began a counteroffensive. Led by Bai Jian, a group of middle and senior generals followed, and more than 2,000 people were killed. The snow thieves couldn't stop this wolf-like army at all, and they were defeated after a little resistance, and then turned around and fled.

The pontoon bridge was too narrow to get on too many people at once, and many people were forced to go down the river. But the river is also not safe, and some people disappear as soon as they get down the river. This made the bandits even more frightened, scrambling to retreat towards the pontoon bridge, and then huddled with the bandits who wanted to come up.

After driving away all the bandits on the shore, Bai Jian took the lead in killing the pontoon. The bandits, who were crowding and shouting, could no longer care about anything else, and ran in the direction of their own camp. The pontoon bridge was not long, and they ran across it, continuing to run for fear and storming their own camp.

The master of the three villages saw that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered to shoot the rebels, but for the unorganized and undisciplined bandits, this choice led to even more chaos, causing Bai Jian to easily build and hold the position, and the soldiers and horses of Bai Zhen quickly crossed the river and rushed towards the bandits.

After all, there are few rebels, and by the time the master of Sanzhai has dealt with this matter, Bai Jian has already assembled and is killing them. The master of Sanzhai didn't have time to make more preparations, so he could only meet the enemy.

The bloody battle begins again.

On this side of the river, Liu Feng led 500 people to guard the camp, looking at the battlefield on the other side of the river, and sighed in his heart. In such a big war, with his strength, he can only be cannon fodder; The people he brought with him were all newcomers who had only been recruited for a short time, and they had only undergone preliminary training, and they could only play some role in the pursuit after victory.

In another quarter of an hour, the bandits gradually lost their support and fell into disadvantage. Liu Feng didn't wait any longer, and quickly led people across the unguarded pontoon bridge and rushed towards the battlefield.

As soon as the bandits saw that the enemy still had reinforcements, they could no longer hold on, and some people began to flee, which slowly evolved into a rout. The three village owners couldn't integrate the situation, so they could only flee with them.

"Lay down your arms, surrender or kill!" In the pursuit, the power of this sentence was enormous, and wave after wave of bandits began to lay down their weapons and squat on the side of the road to make a surrender form. In the end, even the master of Sanzhai did not escape, and was stunned and captured by Bai Jian himself.

Less than an hour after the clean-up battle, another spy came to report that the 3,000 bandits sent by the Snow Mountain Cottage had returned.

"Brethren, can you still fight?" Liu Feng asked loudly.

"Yes!" He was answered by a tired but neat voice.

"Alright, let's go, kill all these bandits who have invaded our homeland."

Leaving some people to guard the captives, Liu Feng gathered 1,500 people and ran towards the bandits with Bai Jian.

As soon as the 3,000 exhausted bandits came out of the mountains, they were attacked by a slashing head and a face, and they didn't last long at all, they were defeated and fled, and Bai Zhen captured another deserter prisoner.

The end of the war was not yet noon, and by the time the battlefield was cleaned up, it was already evening. Liu Feng gave an order, and the soldiers began to return to the city with prisoners and a large number of supplies.

"Mayor Mare, something seems wrong?" When everything was over, Bai Jiancai reported his findings to Liu Feng.

"I already know, but it's a good thing, isn't it? Don't worry, the spies have already been dispatched, now go back to rest and prepare to deal with Aoshan City. Tomorrow we will try the prisoners again and see if we can get any news. ”

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations!
