Ye Teng ordered the whole army to attack the cottage and ambush it nearby, and then an independent tun took on the task of luring the enemy and went to the cottage to provoke in the name of revenge. If there are few bandits going down the mountain, they will be annihilated on the spot; If there are many bandits going down the mountain, they will feign defeat and destroy the enemy's ambush circle.

The ambush troops waited for only about half an hour, lured the enemy troops, and entered the ambush circle with nearly 200 bandits, nearly 1,000 people rushed up, killing only twenty or thirty people, including the opponent's Erzhai master (junior general), and the enemy all surrendered.

After the first wave of battles, after simply cleaning the battlefield, Ye Teng took advantage of the situation and ordered the junior generals who had gone to provoke before to continue to provoke at the foot of the mountain with more than 40 troops who were half slightly injured and half intact.

The enemy was fooled! The owner of the big village rushed down with almost all the main forces of the cottage. Now it's simple, under Ye Teng's previous instructions, he deliberately let go of more than 10 enemies, the rest of the small part was killed, most of them surrendered, and the master of the big village was also captured by Cai Huisheng.

Next, Ye Teng left the two tun troops to clean up the battlefield, and the scout tun continued to expand the scope of investigation; On the one hand, he personally took all the troops to escort the prisoners, and took the two major village owners to the bottom of the mountain to surrender.

At this time, there were only a few dozen old, weak, sick and disabled people left on the mountain, and it didn't take much time to surrender in front of the troops of nearly a thousand people.

At this point, the first stage of combat missions ended smoothly.

Ye Teng ordered Cai Hui to lead the first song and the first tun to set off immediately, find a place to hide, and prepare to carry out the beheading plan, and Xu Xian scouted Tun to find an opportunity to cooperate.

Ye Tengqin led the rest of the troops up the mountain, broke through the cottage stele, and after hearing the prompt tone, he chose to occupy it. arranging two logistical bunds to treat the wounded, activating some of the building's functions, preparing other logistical matters, and guarding more than 300 prisoners; order his own direct troops to be responsible for the guard and supervision of the cottage; ordered Guo Yong to lead the second song to stay in the cottage to rest, and prepare to meet the first wave of attacks on Shilongzhai; Ye Teng personally led the second and third tuns and two independent tuns of the first song, a total of four tuns, and immediately began to renovate the defense facilities, digging traps in front of the checkpoint close to the foot of the mountain, and building a large number of simple arrow towers within 20 meters behind the checkpoint. I also prepare a large number of rolling stones.

At dusk, in addition to the arrow tower is still being built, the maintenance and transformation of the cottage are basically completed. Seeing that the enemy would not attack today, Ye Teng ordered Guo Yong to lead the second song to arrange the guards, watch the night, and continue to build a simple arrow tower overnight. The rest of the troops are all resting for the big battle that is coming tomorrow.

At noon the next day, Ye Teng received a scout report that Xie Gengxin personally led a large number of bandits to our side, numbering about 4,000 people. Ye Teng took a look at the results of yesterday's work, the level fortifications are complete, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition to the 18 simple arrow towers that began to be repaired yesterday, the total number of arrow towers has reached 24, and each arrow tower is equipped with 6 troops, which can carry out the tactics of shooting in groups of two or three groups.

The checkpoint is 15 meters wide and 4 meters high, and the walled gate is about 2 meters wide, which is connected to the uphill path, and the rest of the part is filled with earth and stone along the slope to be flush with the height of the checkpoint.

In other words, a short level of more than 15 meters wide can only accommodate a maximum of 30 enemy attacks, and the defender can change people at any time, while the attacker has to use refueling tactics and has to endure direct and oblique fire from 48 arrows in the air.

Ye Teng arranged for all the archers of the first and second songs to climb the arrow tower, and all the remaining archers as reserve supplements.

Excluding the archers, there are about 60 melee soldiers in each tun, and two guards are arranged each time. As for how long each round of guards lasts, it depends on the intensity of the enemy's attack, and Ye Teng personally decides when to rotate.

There is only one principle, on the premise of holding, as many casualties as possible. Ye Teng plans to change the guard when the fatigue or casualties reach about 20%.

When the bandits arrived about 3 miles in front of the wall, the large army began to set up camp. At the same time, 500 strikers were immediately sent to attack.

The battle broke out punctually at 13 o'clock in the afternoon. The first wave of 100 bandits rushed forward carrying the wooden ladder prepared in advance. The bandits had no other siege equipment, so they could only use the most primitive siege method: ant attachment to the siege. The bandit led the military general to murderously arrange a 50-person overseer team behind the attacking force: those who retreat, slash!

When the enemy rushes to the first 30 meters of the level, they begin to enjoy the power of the archers on the arrow tower, and people keep falling. But as if they hadn't seen it, the others took the ladder and continued to rush forward.

When the first wave of bandits rushed to the front of the checkpoint and were able to climb up the ladder, more than half of them had already suffered casualties, and the bandits' supervising generals did not hesitate, and the second wave of 100 people continued to rush forward.

The tactics of the defenders were simple, two soldiers held a fork together and pushed the ladder down as soon as they saw the enemy ladder against the wall; If there is an enemy on the ladder that is too late to be knocked down, the pikemen will attack; The enemy successfully landed and was attacked by sword and shield soldiers. As for the rolling stones and wood, they can't be used until the critical time, because the level is 4 meters high in total, and if you smash too much, the level will be filled, and the enemy will even save the ladder at that time.

The battle was in a fever pitch from the start. The attackers didn't seem to care about casualties at all. At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, only more than 100 of the 500 people of the first attack remained, and the bandits showed no signs of stopping at all, and the second group of 1000 people continued to be sent.

As early as 14 o'clock in the afternoon, the defenders' first song, the second and third cantons had already suffered about 15% casualties and withdrew. At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, the two independent tuns that were replaced had already suffered nearly 20% casualties (those who were slightly injured and could still fight were not included in the casualty figures), and at this time they were also replaced with the second and third tuns of the second song. The medical team of the logistics battalion continued to feed the wounded with water, qi tonifying pills and healing pills, and the maintenance team began to sort out the bodies of the casualties and make statistics. The men were constantly bringing hot water and food.

By 16 o'clock in the afternoon, the attacker still showed no signs of giving up, and the second and third tuns of the second song also suffered more than 10% casualties, Ye Teng simply replaced them with the first tun of the second song and the directly subordinate tun, ready to hold on to the elite troops until dark, as for the overnight attack, you basically don't have to think about it, the game actually refers to the physique of soldiers in history, most soldiers have night blindness, how to attack?

Due to the extremely heavy fighting, the average death rate of the six retreated cantonments was about 6 percent, and nearly 10 percent were seriously injured, disabled, or unable to go to war in the short term. Therefore, Ye Teng abolished an independent cantonment, added it to the other five cantonments, and reorganized five neat battle cantonments. However, they seized the time to rest and prepared to continue the battle tomorrow.

By 17:30 in the evening, the second group of bandits had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and seeing that it was not far from dark, there was no hope of capturing the checkpoint today, and the bandits had no choice but to stop the attack. Ye Teng ordered his direct troops to be responsible for guarding the checkpoint at night, while the rest of the troops rested and prepared for a more brutal battle tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the battle continued, and Shilongzhai sent another team of 1,000 people to fight. Ye Teng arranged for the second and third tuns of the first song to fight first, and the rest of the troops rested on the spot.

The enemy's attacks were still fierce, but due to their geographical advantage and strong support from the towers, the defenders still suffered far fewer casualties than the attackers. But even so, when the enemy's wave of 1,000 people suffered nearly half of the casualties and was ready to withdraw, the Yefu troops successively took turns to defend the first and third and fourth cantonments of the second song, a total of four cantons, and the total casualties exceeded 20%.

In desperation, he could only let the elite of the second song and the first tun and the directly subordinate troops fight to stabilize the situation on the battlefield. At this time, the attacking troops had suffered more than 1,200 casualties in two days, with losses of nearly 30%, and the morale of the troops continued to decline.

Xie Gengxin also saw that the defensive troops were difficult to hold onto, so he decided to send elite troops to a decisive battle. He ordered his 500 direct troops, composed entirely of second- and third-order soldiers, to fight.
