Chapter 214 Fighting Wisdom

Zhedonggen is the second master of Ninggu Village.

The name of the second village master sounds not small, but it is actually nothing in the Lu'an Alliance. Ninggu Village, which is very close to Anshun Prefecture, is a small tribe of the Yi nationality, and there are thousands of people in the whole village, all with surnames. The village is not big, the oil and water are limited, and the big leader Ma Ni is also very good at doing things, sending some bamboo shoots today and a few pheasants tomorrow, so the relationship with several Han officials in Anshun Prefecture has been maintained quite well. An Bangyan's army is a dilemma in front of Ma Ni: if he doesn't follow the incident, in order to make an example, An Bangyan will definitely be the first to kill him, and if he follows with him? Let's not talk about whether it can be done in the end, as long as the two sides tug of war a few times, and the official army comes to counterattack, the small Ninggu Village will be burned to the ground by them immediately. The scheming Zhe Ma Ni looked at the bonfire and pondered for a long time, and called his youngest son Zhi Mengtang over to give some instructions, and Zhi Mengtang went to Anshun Prefecture overnight. Early the next morning, it was seen that several Han officials in the state hurried to Guiyang, and Zhimengtang did not come back.

learned that his youngest son was "tied" by Han officials "for no reason", and he "fell ill". Before falling ill, he called his eldest son Zhidonggen and muttered for a long time, and then Zhidonggen led more than a dozen men to join An Bangyan's team. The illness of the Ma Ni is very strange: you say it's not serious, I don't see him come down once after staying in the bamboo building all day long; You said it was really heavy, everyone in the village went to his house to judge, and there was no delay.

Obviously, Zhe Ma Ni is an old fox: Meng Tang, who has the grace of ventilating and reporting to save his life, follows the Han officials, in case the boss is taken by the official army one day, there is a chance that he will be able to pick up a life, and he is sick, the eldest son voted for Elder An, although he didn't bring a few people, his attitude is definitely correct, and Elder An will not have to get along with Ninggu Village, which has not many people.

Dad has repeatedly mentioned his face, and Zhidonggen also knows it in his heart, so the dozen or so people in Ningguzhai have been working hard in the Lu'an Alliance. But not to mention An Bangyan, even the other village owners didn't take it to heart - what can you expect them to do with such a few people?

So everyone was wrong.

These dozen or so people who are not well-known have done a big thing, a big thing-the casualties they caused to the officers and soldiers are more than a large-scale battle, and even partially changed a little bit of history.

An Bangyan has always had a tricky mentality, hoping to take Guiyang without blood, so he has never launched an indomitable attack like Gao Chongming fought Chengdu. In addition to being repelled by the Zhenwei soldiers at the beginning of the first attack at the north gate, as early as late May, when the city was besieged for 100 days, he also launched another tentative attack, and the focus of the attack was selected at the west gate of Guiyang.

An Bangyan wanted to take advantage of it, and the leaders of each village were even more reluctant to ask their people to attack and send them to death, so this siege battle appeared in a scene unique in that era: there were no ants climbing the wall, no crashing towers, no short-handed white blades, and both sides were shooting at a long distance - from the perspective of modern people, it is a bit of a taste of the two children working hard and seriously comparing Ultraman battles in the air.

There is a huge rock outside the west gate, which is usually covered by grass and trees, and it is too huge, almost level with the west wall. The defenders of Guiyang had just finished clearing the covered grass and trees before they could destroy it, and the Shuixi army drove over. The people scattered and fled into the city, and thousands of overjoyed Shuixi troops poured into the stone, took up their hunting bows and shot arrows at the city. Whether it is the Miao or Yi nationality or the Tujia family, almost everyone is a hunter, and in terms of accuracy and psychological quality, they all throw off those guards who have been in peace for a long time. However, the Shuixi Army only had some advantages in momentum, and did not get much real advantage - because although the defenders on the wall were dish, they had an advantage in equipment. Most of the Shuixi military are bamboo bows, and the lethality of twenty or thirty zhang is extremely limited, and most of the Guiyang defenders have armor!

Of course, it is impossible for the arrows shot by the bamboo bow to break the armor, but every time the guards are hit, even if there is no real damage, they will shout and scream, and the fear is contagious to each other, and the cats with their heads shrunk are so frightened that they dare not come out after the battlement. That is, they are any battalion that is replaced by Sun Jie, when they encounter such an opponent, the battalion officer doesn't even bother to give the order to raise the shield, and the long knife leads the brothers to run over in a daze. Shi Yongan received the report and hurried over to the west wall, seeing that the defenders were all pressed and angry, he transferred more than a dozen firecrackers to fight indiscriminately, the thieves did not fall a few, and the momentum finally recovered a lot, and under the cover of the white smoke emitted by the firecrackers, the defenders and archers had the courage to come out one after another to shoot at the Shuixi army.

So the two sides played a lively and lively - at the same distance, the regular foot bow shooting without armor is of course an overwhelming advantage, but these masters are extremely poor in accuracy, although it cannot be said that the east and the west guide hit the north, aiming at which one cannot shoot is normal; The Shuixi Coalition Army is bold and accurate, and there are still many people, but the bow and arrow in his hand are too powerful, and the feather arrow will fall down with a "snap" every time, which can only scare the unlucky guy to jump three feet high......

It's not a way to go on like this. Shi Yongan found the people to put bricks under the feet of the wooden planks on the wall, and after working for most of the day, the defenders finally had the commanding power. The bamboo bow was not powerful enough, and it still needed to shoot from the back, so it gradually fell behind. However, Shi Yongan's approach also reminded them of this, so the brain-active leader babbled and roared, and the native soldiers all retreated with a roar.

That night, the mountains outside the city were full of fires, and no one knew what the Shuixi Army was doing.

Early the next morning, Shi Yongan, who had been guarding the west wall all night, found that the thieves had returned, carrying a wooden cage every two or three people.

Near the side of the city wall, there is a row of native soldiers holding a large wooden plank to defend against arrows, and the rest of the people spread out the wooden cage and fill it with earth and stones, and then spread another layer when it is filled.

The masonry on the west wall had already been put up for footing, and if it was condescending to the Shuixi army, the little confidence that the defenders had finally recovered would have to be shaken again. There was a banner officer Li Liangcai who found Shi Yongan in a hurry, "Please demolish the bell tower of Yongxiang Temple in the city", compare with the thieves, and see who can build high!

Now it's fun. In this war in the era of cold weapons, the two armies are facing each other, and it is no longer about fighting whose knife is harder and whose soldiers are more ruthless, but which one is stronger than the ability to build illegal buildings privately!

The wooden cage platform has been built to a height of a zhang, and the Shuixi Coalition Army is busy in full swing, but they are surprised to find that high-rise buildings have begun to rise on the opposite wall! There are many carpenters and masons in the city, and the raw materials such as beams and columns are ready-made, and at noon, the pheasant tower on the wall is obviously higher than the wooden cage platform. Li Liangcai was praised by Shi Yongan, and his enthusiasm was agitated and he couldn't help himself, so he led his subordinates to climb to the middle of the pheasant tower under construction, set up a fire and bombarded this side.

It seems that the platform is not ready. As soon as a few village owners of the Shuixi Coalition Army discussed, don't just let us be stupid, seventy or eighty thousand horses, why only ask us to fight the west wall, and everyone else is sitting in the east and south to watch the excitement? I have to talk to Elder An, and we want to fight together! So an order was given, and the troops retreated in a hurry.

The "strong enemy" retreated, and the defenders of the Western Wall erupted in earth-shattering cheers. It was a fierce "bloody battle", this was the first time in the lives of these guards to face the enemy, and it was also their first "great victory", although the casualties of the thieves in this "fierce battle" of less than three days before and after were only in double digits, it did not prevent everyone from boasting excitedly and loudly about their bravery.

Knowing that the thieves in the west had withdrawn, and that Zhang Fang and Huang Yunqing had just entered the city not long ago, Li Jingwu wanted to take the opportunity to fight Wei Qingwei (now Qingzhen, Guizhou). Zhang Fang occupied the big mansion and was shouting for people to expand ("Jianya Mansion is looking forward to it"), and Li Jingwu broke in and asked him to send troops. Zhang Dashuai prevaricated and said that he would go out with Vice General Huang (the order of the deputy general of Kaixie was promoted in early May), but he didn't expect Governor Li to answer the sound and drag him to Huang Yunqing. Huang Yunqing, who had newly accepted several concubines, was blocked in the bedroom by Li Jingwu in broad daylight, coaxing and scaring him, especially when he heard the cheers in the west of the city, the two who had just entered the city and were still a little afraid of civil officials were also a little embarrassed, so they had to order soldiers and horses to go out of the city.

It was nearly dusk when the second general set off, and it was dark after a short time. Fortunately, in order to scare the defenders of Guiyang, An Bangyan asked the local soldiers to light two torches each at night and roam back and forth on the mountain.

Unlike other provinces, there are too many ethnic minority tribes in Guizhou, on the other hand, the imperial court also intends to divide and rule, so the "Wei" here is not as big as the capital of other provinces, and there are many so-called "Wei", which are even less than a state in the interior. Wei Qingwei is even smaller, just a town, and there is no wall outside, just an earthen fence, and it has long been dilapidated. According to Zhang Fang and Huang Yunqing's thoughts, they arrived just in time when the sky was bright, how many thieves could be stationed in a town? Four or five hundred to the sky! More than 8,000 people rushed over at once, grabbed enough things and then set fire and ran back to Guiyang, isn't it another big victory?

The mountain road is narrow, and the night road is still walked, and the two armies are only temporarily combined, and they are not subordinate to each other, so they are naturally divided into two groups of people in the front and rear. The two generals had a careful idea of rushing into Weiqing to grab it first, and a small dispute broke out between the two in front of them over who to go. In the end, they swore a poisonous oath together, no matter which one came first, they would wait for the other party to come over and fight together, and then throw the dice to set the order.

Zhang Fang was lucky, so he walked ahead. However, compared with the temptation of gold and silver in the longing, how old is the poisonous oath? What's more, the smart Zhang Dashuai took advantage of the night to add the word "weird" at the end of the sentence "five thunders in the sky", which was so small that he couldn't even hear it. Of course, the gods have great powers...... Naturally, they all heard, right?

So as soon as he turned a mountain bay, Zhang Fang accelerated the speed of the march. In order to take the lead, Zhang Dashuai fully showed his talent in arranging troops: he asked his three battalions to take the lead, the strong of the auxiliary soldiers to be the middle army, and those with the worst physical strength to be the rear team - walk slowly, pressing Huang Yuanqing's team and dragging them down.

There is a way that people are not as good as heaven, and the root of the cave appeared at this time.
