Chapter 197: Attacking the Village
Moreover, huge wooden shields had already been erected on the city walls.
All the bows and arrows were blocked by shields. Of the nearly 1,000 soldiers on the city wall, not a single one was injured. Bows and arrows are of no use to them at all.
This is also the reason why Jiang Chao will let people destroy the fire and thunder position for the first time, the fire and thunder is the biggest threat, once the fire and thunder position is destroyed, the remaining enemies are not afraid.
However, Jiang Chao will not let his children go out of the city to fight the bandit army now, so that even if he can wipe out the bandit army, he is afraid that his own losses will not be less.
The previous battle at Hangu Pass was completely because of the strategy of closing the door and fighting dogs, coupled with the power of bamboo thunder cannons, which completely annihilated so many enemies.
Although a round of arrows rained down, it did not hurt the soldiers on the city wall, but it also allowed those siege bandits to climb to the top of the city.
There were even bandit troops who jumped onto the city wall, but in the face of the children's army, these bandit troops were cut down as soon as they rushed to the city wall.
The siege bandit army of more than 2,000 was knocked down as soon as it had some success, and even the siege ladder was destroyed. Nearly half of the bandits who had just fallen under the city walls were killed or wounded.
Before they could react, the soldiers on the walls began throwing grenades downward.
With a sound of explosion, the dense bandits were immediately killed and injured. Nearly a thousand people remained, fleeing back in embarrassment.
They were afraid that if they fled slowly, they would be hit by the grenades that were thrown down, and the people around them would be killed one by one, and they were completely frightened.
In front of the city wall, Zhang Tong looked at the bandits who had fled back, his eyes were full of disbelief, and on the way back from his soldiers. and was hit by bamboo thunder from time to time.
More than 2,000 bandits attacked the city wall, but in only a few minutes, only a few hundred escaped alive.
Most of the soldiers remained behind the walls and on the way back, and some of them were not dead, their hands and feet had been blown up. In that painful struggle.
Such a bloody scene made Su Xiaoxiao's face on the city wall uncomfortable, and Xiaocao vomited wildly. His face turned pale.
Jiang Chao patted her back and hugged the little girl, Jiang Chao did not let the little girl go down, living in this troubled world, when it is time to adapt, you have to adapt.
If she doesn't know the cruelty of this world, she is afraid that she will not be able to protect herself. I can't survive well.
At this time, Jiang Chao reached out and patted Su Xiaoxiao's back, caressing her hair, and there was a look of worry in his eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Chao, shook his head, and forced himself to adapt to this discomfort. She's not a child anymore.
Ever since she knew that Jiang Chao was going to eliminate the bandits, she had heard a lot about war from others. The battlefield is a brutal place.
Since she is ready to protect the mountain village, she has to adapt to such a battlefield. After all, she is not only protecting everyone, but also protecting Jiang Chao's inheritance.
Song Ningxue and Jiang Chao have experienced a lot of such scenes together, and they have long been surprised.
Murong Zhiqing's face was also a little pale, but compared to Su Xiaoxiao, she seemed much calmer. After all, she had already experienced the Battle of Hanguan Valley.
Not to mention, she is the daughter of Zhizhou, and she is even more famous. Scenes like this are probably known from books for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Chao gently comforting Su Xiaoxiao, Murong Zhiqing showed a look of envy on her face. But she also looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a worried face.
After this period of getting along, the innocent and kind Su Xiaoxiao has long made her feel pity. After knowing Su Xiaoxiao's tragic life experience, he felt even more distressed about her.
She walked over, shook Su Xiaoxiao's hand, and nodded heavily to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled at her and nodded to indicate that she was fine.
At this time, under the city wall, Zhang Tong, the bandit general led by him, looked at the city wall with a gloomy expression, his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.
The war had just begun, and his side had lost more than 2,000 people, and the battle loss rate was 20 percent.
He really wanted to send troops to attack the city again, but he also knew that the result of sending troops to attack the city would definitely be to let the troops on his side continue to send up.
Anyway, the city wall of a mountain village may allow him to bury more than 10,000 people here, and now he finally understands why Jiang Chao dared to coax him to surrender
It was too difficult to break through the walls of the mountain village. If the mine-throwing positions had not been destroyed, there would have been hope.
But how would he know that this would be the result, his mine-throwing position, he didn't even do the mine-throwing position, and it was just gone.
The bandit generals around him who had just despised the mountain village and Jiang Chao were looking at the city wall of the mountain village with shame on their faces at this time. They were desperate to find a crack in the ground to get into.
This is the Jiang Chao they despise, and they have just fought each other, and they have directly suffered heavy damage. Now they are falling into extreme passivity.
Either they will continue to attack the city, or they will find a way to break the city, otherwise, they may be dragged to death here by the backer village in front of them.
"Big boss, what should we do now!?" One of the bandit generals asked.
Even if they are in the army, they still use the name of the cottage.
"What can I do, it's best to find a way to get some more lightning throwers and fire mines, if you want to break through the walls of the mountain village, only those fire mines are useful. Otherwise, there is no other way. ”
Another bandit general spoke up, and his words made several other bandit generals nod their heads with a face full of approval.
Everyone knows that if you want to break the mountain village, it is useless to rely on them alone, no matter how many people there are, they will just go to deliver food, and the best way is to be able to get fire and thunder again.
In this way, they have something to compete with Jiang Chao's thunder cannons or something. Otherwise, it is impossible to break through the backing village.
"Sixth, you find someone to ask Wang Dang of Anning County for help, and ask him to go to the Peng Demon King of Anqing County to get me some fire and thunder, if he dares to be yin and yang, he will kill him, and then you will personally go to the Peng Demon King."
Zhang Tong said to a general beside him.
"But the big boss, Wang Dang, that guy is a person under the throne of the Guogong, killing him like this, will it cause the displeasure of the Guogong!"
One of the generals said worriedly.
"Hmph...... How much do you think the king should be relied upon by the prince? Guogong just wants to rely on him to stabilize Anning County. If he doesn't listen to my dispatch and ruin our plan, the prince will not let him go, listen to me, if he dares to kill him! ”
Hearing this, the general nodded hurriedly.
He turned around and rode with nearly 100 bandits and wanted to rush back to the county seat.
