Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 294 Hezhou Danger (7)
While Xiao Keding led his troops to kill the barbarian reinforcements and retreated, the sentry horse he left in front of Dongdacang was still trying to break into it.
After all, the military order is like a mountain, even if there are more defenders in it, this sentry must attack with all its might.
It's just that the frontal onslaught is obviously useless, so Li Jia adopted Wei Ting's strategy, thinking of climbing over the wall and attacking from the side, but it was quickly defused by the barbarians who had been prepared for a long time.
Several soldiers who were about to enter the wall were directly stabbed by the enemy with spears and fell down, and they were killed on the spot.
If it weren't for Wei Ting's slower skills, and he saw his comrades fall before he went up the wall, I'm afraid even he would have died on the wall.
But even if he didn't die, it was still a dead end, which made him and several robes around him feel frustrated, but they were helpless.
At the moment of this desperate situation, Wei Ting suddenly heard a few dog barks inside.
Although these two barks were too inconspicuous in the sound of the two armies fighting and defending, when they fell on his ears, the spirit of the people was suddenly lifted, and an expectant and bold thought was born.
Wei Ting, who was supposed to climb the wall again, suddenly turned his body down, and searched along the root of the wall.
Just when everyone else thought that he was about to warn him, Wei Ting pointed to the corner of the courtyard wall and whispered, "Look at ......"
A few robes followed his gaze and saw a cave that was half a person high, which made them stunned for a moment, and they quickly understood that this was a dog cave!
As a granary, the guards here have to be strictly guarded day and night, and they are too tired to rely on manpower alone.
So the barbarians kept a few dogs here to guard the gate, and these dogs could not always enter and exit through the gate as often as a man, so someone dug a dog hole in this inconspicuous corner to let them go in and out.
And now, this dog cave has become an excellent location for Vietnamese troops to enter the warehouse.
There is no need for Wei Ting to say more, those comrades-in-arms have decisively rushed over, and there are those who know that they are thin, and they even lie down on the spot directly, and they struggle to drill inside.
In normal times, no one would want to go in and out of a house through such a dog hole, unless you are a bandit.
But now, it is a matter of victory or defeat in the battle and their own life and death, and the soldiers have no more taboos and concerns, as long as they can kill it, let alone the dog hole, even if they drill from under the dog's crotch, they must also drill through.
At that moment, seven or eight people from this side all got through this not small dog hole, entered the warehouse, and appeared on the side of the barbarian guarding the warehouse.
At this time, the attention of the barbarians was still on the Vietnamese army who was struggling to attack the door and climb the wall, and they didn't realize that such a group of people had arrived beside them.
Wei Ting didn't say anything, and immediately led everyone to pounce fiercely, and the swords and guns fell on these defenseless enemies.
Although there are dozens or hundreds of defenders here, they are actually frightened at this time, and they only rely on high walls and thick doors to support them.
Now they suddenly found that the Vietnamese army actually appeared out of thin air to kill, which was a great blow to them, so that their fighting spirit collapsed in an instant, and they couldn't even resist, so they were killed by these dozen or so people and retreated.
And this time, the Vietnamese troops who climbed the wall and the Vietnamese troops who slammed the warehouse gate were no longer hindered and entered smoothly.
With the door of the warehouse being banged open and dozens of soldiers fiercely entered, the battle here quickly came to an end......
After listening to Li Jia's explanation, Xiao Keding was pleasantly surprised, and immediately patted Wei Ting hard: "Good job, this time you should take the lead in taking the warehouse, I will explain it to Your Majesty." β
As he spoke, his gaze quickly swept over the crowd again: "Nie Long, you sent the three arrows just now, right?" β
Nie Long, who was being wounded by someone, stood up straight after being called by name: "General Yu, it is the leader of the barbarians who was shot to death......
After knowing that Xiong Dangzhen was seriously injured, Sun Ning released Nie Long, who should have been severely punished, as he said before.
However, because he was not in a hurry to award a reward during the war, he was still just the original sentry commander, and in today's siege battle, he fought with the army again, but he made a great achievement.
"Well, you're good too!" Li Jia wanted to praise a few words, but the sound of banging in front of him sounded, and it was the men and horses that the barbarians followed up and began to attack the warehouse.
This made him no longer able to talk nonsense, and immediately ordered: "Hold the gate and the high wall, as long as we drag through this section, and when Your Majesty leads the army to come, we can all live and achieve this great achievement!" β
In fact, there is no need for him to give more encouragement and orders, it is a matter of life and death for everyone, these hundreds of soldiers naturally go all out to defend, watching the enemy hit the door, some people pounce on the top door, see the enemy want to climb the wall, and some people fill the defense.
Even the inconspicuous dog hole, in the case of the previous experience, someone moved a few bags of grain over and blocked the hole.
As a result, the positions of the two sides were reversed, and the Vietnamese army attacked the barbarians to defend the barbarians, and the barbarians attacked the Vietnamese army, so that the problems that the Vietnamese army had suffered before fell back on the barbarians.
And for these barbarians who attack the warehouse and have nowhere to eat like a dog biting a hedgehog, it is really a great pain. Because attacking tough problems has never been their forte.
But soon, they had a solutionβ
"Light a fire for me, even if you burn it, you will burn these Han people here!" One of the leaders shouted through gritted teeth.
By now, they have all seen that today's Hezhou is likely to be unable to be saved, so naturally they have no worries, even if they burn the granary, they can't leave things to the Vietnamese army.
As he spoke, the torches that had been extinguished by the growing light of the day were rekindled, and then the warriors, each with each hand, was thrown into the storehouse.
In this rainy weather, once the torch is really thrown into the warehouse, as long as a spark touches the warehouse full of grain, it must be a fire that engulfs the entire warehouse, and no one wants to extinguish it.
This move was naturally clearly seen by the Vietnamese army inside, which made them suddenly fall into a dilemma.
"What should I do?"
Everybody, you look at me, I look at you.
If you stick to it, you will inevitably be set on fire, but if you want to stop it, you must open the door and kill it, and in the end, I am afraid the end will be almost the same.
Xiao Keding's face was also distorted, although he had been in the army for many years, but for more than ten years, he had never been as dangerous and entangled as today.
But in the end, he still gritted his teeth and shouted: "Now there is only one way to kill it!" Soldiers, believe me, Your Majesty will come to your aid soon, as long as we can hold out for a while! β
After saying that, the knife in his hand suddenly pointed forward, and then ordered loudly: "Open the door, kill the enemy with me!" β
Just when the row of barbarians in front of the door was about to raise the torches in their hands and throw them in, the warehouse gate in front of them suddenly opened, and hundreds of Vietnamese soldiers rushed out under the leadership of Xiao Keding......
