Outside the west gate of Yan'an County, with Zhang Tie's answer, the people who were guarded by the bandits were all crying.

The bandit leader on horseback was on horseback, but he didn't expect the people on the city wall to refuse his request so quickly.

Originally, he thought that the soldiers on the city wall would definitely think about it for a long time before giving an answer, and as for this answer, it didn't mean much to him.

Because he knew that the leader of the soldiers in the city would never open the city and surrender, because there were more people in the rear, and it was impossible to open the city and surrender just because of more than 300 people.

He put forward the lives of these people as a condition, and the main purpose of this was to disturb the morale of the soldiers on the city wall, disrupt their mentality, reduce the morale of the soldiers in Yan'an County, and wait until the siege of the city was more advantageous.

The bandit leader squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Tie on the city wall, "It seems that the soldier stationed at the West Gate should not be from the county, otherwise he would not have answered so quickly, and the surrounding soldiers actually did not react, it seems that the person above is the person who attacked them in Hongyang last night." ”

A bandit came to the bandit leader on horseback and said to him, "Chief, they refuse to surrender, why don't you kill a group of people first, show them to the people on the city wall, and try the situation?" ”

The bandit leader shook his head slightly, pointed to the soldiers on the wall of the West Gate, and said to the people beside him: "No need to try, they will not surrender, because they are not from Yan'an County at all." ”

"In that case, chief, it is better to kill these people and give them a good look at the people on the city wall."

The bandit who had killed the young people just now stood in front of the people and said to the bandit leader in front of him.

After speaking, he licked his dry lips, played a knife flower, and stared at the ordinary people with their hands tied with bloodthirsty eyes, in his eyes, the more than three hundred ordinary people in front of him seemed to have turned into a group of livestock to be slaughtered.

The people with their hands tied closed their eyes in despair and stopped shouting, knowing that no matter how much they said, it was useless, and now that the soldiers on the city walls had abandoned them, there was only one way left, death.

"Hmm-"

The bandit leader slowly shook his head, turned his horse's head, and looked at the people waiting to be slaughtered with an expressionless face, "You don't need to kill them now, it's still useful to keep them." ”

When they heard that they didn't have to be killed, the people were all happy, thinking that the thieves were going to let them go, but the next sentence was to let them know that the reality was always so cruel.

In this world, weakness is the original sin, and you can't become stronger, you can only be reduced to the meat of others.

"And this use is to use it as a meat shield for us."

......

"Attack!"

With the order of the bandit leader, the siege battle officially began.

More than 300 people of Yan'an were scattered by the bandits, and more than 800 bandits were mixed in, including archers with bows and arrows, spearmen with spears, and sword and shield soldiers with swords and shields in one hand.

However, among these bandits, the shields of the sword and shield soldiers were obviously made of wood at random, and they all looked a little new, and the wooden planks on the shields were still resinous.

The low resistance of such a wooden shield can withstand a few shots of bows and arrows at most, and once it faces the melee attack of the weapon, it is estimated that it is a matter of one blow, and this temporary wooden shield will be directly shattered.

Ladders and crashes were also carried or pushed by some bandits around the people.

There were also more than 300 bandits armed with swords and shields, and this group of bandits was obviously the elite of these bandits, because they were much better than the bandits in front of them in terms of weapons and equipment.

Some of the weapons in the hands of the bandits in front of them are already notched, and the weapons in the hands of these bandits are intact.

Then there is the shield, the bandits in front can only say that they are planks, not shields, and the shields in the hands of these bandits in the back are much better than the shields in the hands of the bandits in front, at least they are covered with iron sheets.

The cotton armor he wore was also uniformly tested, which was exactly the same as the armor worn by the soldiers of Yan'an County.

Falling last, there were only more than twenty bandits on horses, and the leader of the bandits was among them.

These bandits on horseback are the leaders of more than 1,000 bandits, and the leader of the bandits here is the leader of the bandits who ate the soldiers of Yan'an County.

Not to mention the weapons and equipment on the body, it must be equipped with the best weapons and armor.

The formation formed by the bandits attacking Yan'an County can be described as quite vicious.

Looking at the bandits who were advancing outside the city, Zhang Tie felt that his head was about to get bigger, and the bandits' approach completely put Zhang Tie in a dilemma.

If you want to defend the city gate, you can't let the bandits carry the ladder and crash car under the city wall and the city gate, otherwise the city gate will definitely cause a lot of panic and hit the morale of the soldiers.

In addition, the number of bandits is superior, once the city gate is lost, the number of bandits far exceeds that of Zhang Tie and others, and it will not be able to stop the behavior of these bandits.

At that time, once a bandit rushes into the city and burns and loots, it will definitely bring a lot of casualties to the people.

And the bandits not only have an advantage in numbers, but they are all outlaws, even if Zhang Tie's subordinates are far beyond ordinary people, but if they want to completely eliminate these bandits, it is estimated that they will not have casualties, which is also difficult for Zhang Tie to accept.

There is a way to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, if Zhang Tie can't solve these problems, the consequences will definitely be the same as above, the city gate is hit by a car, it is a matter of time.

However, this problem is a problem that makes Zhang Tie very headache.

The bandits used more than 300 people as meat shields and followed them, which made it difficult for Zhang Tie to make a choice, and he couldn't give the order to shoot.

Ordinary people died in the hands of bandits, Zhang Tie can accept it a little, after all, it was the bandits who did it, and there will be no burden in his heart, at most, he will kill all these bandits later and avenge them.

But once the order is given to shoot, these ordinary people who are used by the bandits as meat shields will definitely be killed by mistake, just like that, these people are equivalent to being killed directly by Zhang Tie, which is something that Zhang Tie cannot accept.

Although there are nearly fifty archers in the soldiers brought by Zhang Tie now, in terms of accuracy, the distance of fifty meters away cannot achieve the effect of 100 shots and 100 hits.

In other words, once Zhang Tie gave the order to shoot, it was equivalent to abandoning the people outside the city, and the archers who did not have the right head would accidentally injure the civilians.

This is completely contrary to Zhang Tie's original intention, if it is the soldiers on the border who are guarding the city, it is estimated that they will directly order and shoot everyone outside the city, because their mission is to guard the border and contain the enemy from rushing forward.

We will not give up more people for the sake of a few hundred ordinary people because of small losses.

Zhang Tie is currently the only one in the army who can achieve a hundred shots from a distance of 50 meters, Zhang Tie and Jiang Jianhua.

In addition, there is Yan Beichen who uses a flying knife, but the effective distance of the flying knife is too short, and it can't be thrown that far yet.

With just two people, in the face of more than a thousand bandits, it is really not enough.

ps: I'm going back to school soon, and there are more than 2,000 vegetables at home waiting for me to squeeze oil, so, the old rules, the second shift, later.
