Chapter 231 Massacre

Sun Jie did not return to the camp after setting a fire at the exit of the Axe Splitting Gorge, but led the army straight to Wusa Mansion.

In this battle, Sun Bu was almost unscathed. The losses in the completely one-sided defensive battle were only one dead and five wounded, and the non-combat attrition caused by a misstep or construction accident was about 20 people. A lot of thistles were sprinkled in front of the trench, and behind them were several artillery groups left by Liu Tieniu, which had been bombarded for a few rounds, and when the Weixin Village that risked death and charged filled the trench, there were few people alive. Seeing that only a dozen of the 600 clansmen were still standing, Zu Bao had already begun to die, so he led them to make the last futile suicide attack. After running out of ammunition and destroying the Weixinzhai regiment, the artillery groups dragged the copper cannon heads and withdrew to the large battalion behind without looking back.

Bai Shou and the people and horses of Wuxiang Village, who rushed up on the corpse of Weixin Village, were intercepted by the rain of arrows. Sun Jie divided the six hundred archers into three groups and threw them in a line fifty paces behind the last fence. Under the orders of their respective team officers, each salvo was sprinkled with 200 flying locusts, and a rain of arrows continued to come with a terrible sound of breaking through the air. Of course, the standard step bow is crushing Wujia, but fortunately, it is not a rocket, and the warriors of Wuxiang Village have to hold high the rattan card to cover the key points on their heads...... However, one after another, they screamed and fell—and with a long horn sound, more than a thousand native soldiers from the towns and villages suddenly appeared on the high ground and tree tops on both sides, condescendingly using hunting bows for free shooting. Of course, the lethality of the bamboo bow is not as lethal as the foot bow, but these excellent marksmen are aiming at the uncovered legs of the charger!

Some of the Miao soldiers in Wuxiang Village also took their bows and tried in vain to fight back, but the effect was almost zero. Some of these teams, which are usually mountain people and leaders who assemble and set out at the sound of an order, are only individual bravery, but what they lack is the strict training of the regular army: when the archers are ready to fight back, the others still blindly shout and rush forward, and no one knows how to provide them with close protection! Wave after wave of arrows rained down most of them in the blink of an eye, and the others immediately received the attention of the Manbe archers, and they were all shot into hedgehogs in less than half a cup of tea.

rushed to the front of the rejection of the horse, and there were only more than 100 people left in Wuxiang Village. The horse was shoulder-high and full of barbs, making it impossible to climb over it with bare hands under the constant attack of feathered arrows. "Drag it away!" The head man Bai Shou roared out the last three words of his life hoarsely, and then he was pierced by a feather arrow and nailed to the blood-colored land.

The warriors of the hundred or so people did not flinch, and quickly formed several small phalanxes, the people in the outer circle on both sides used rattan cards to stagger up and down to cover, and the people in front threw down the rattan cards and weapons in their hands, took off the rattan rope from their shoulders, and dragged the horses blocking the way!

It's a pity that Sun Jie's rejection of the horse was not simply placed on the road, but lengthened his legs and buried in the ground, and he was buried too deep......

Seeing that more than a dozen people couldn't be dragged, someone in the protective circle of the phalanx threw down the rattan cards to join the dragging team.

In the sound of the trumpet, the horse loosened and shook!

In the towing team, people kept falling from arrows.

More protectors threw down their rattan cards to drag the loose horses as if they were dead.

With a "boom", a rejection horse was finally dragged down, and under the action of inertia, the draggers not only fell to the ground on their backs, but also knocked down the people around them.

The unprotected fallen were shot one after another, and the remnant got up and rushed to their approaching companions, continuing to drag the next one of the rejecting horses......

Shen Gang, who was watching the battlefield side by side with Sun Jie on the earthen ramparts behind the battle, shook his head: "This is death!" ”

Sun Jie didn't answer, and continued to look coldly at the slaughter field not far away. Several more horses were dragged down one after another, and only two remained, and the attacking warriors were left with only the last man. This is a man in his thirties, standing alone in the pile of corpses, looking around left and right blankly, stunned for a moment, and locking his eyes on the second general Sun Shen on the earthen ramparts. Instead of leaning down to pick up his weapon, he ignored the fence in front of him, let out a long, mournful howl from his mouth, and rushed forward with his bare hands!

The officers of the three groups of archers were silent and did not give orders. Dozens of bamboo arrows burst through the air, and the warrior fell, struggling to stretch one arm straight forward with the last shred of strength...... All this happened in a moment or two of breaths, but this moment was so long that the picture was deeply engraved in everyone's mind, and it was unforgettable.

The death of a warrior is eternal in an instant.

"An army, as long as it is willing to shed blood, will eventually advance." Sun Jie spit out this sentence gently, I don't know if it was his heartfelt emotion or his answer to Shen Gang.

Of course, Sun Jie didn't know that the third wave of people rushing up was led by Adge and Luojiaozhai, but he knew that the lives of these people would end in front of his own defense. Like all warriors, Sun Jie loved heroes and valued heroes, but he knew better what a threat such a death-defying opponent would pose to the court to which he was loyal - and therefore, it must be completely and completely eliminated!

The people of Luojiao Village bypassed the only two remaining horses on the side of the road and rushed forward with a shout. Sun Jie noticed that they all deliberately avoided the corpses that fell on the road, and tried not to trample on their comrades who used their lives to open the way for themselves.

The attackers were held back in front of a solid wooden fence. The bowl-mouthed trees were also sparsely buried nearly four feet into the ground, and two or three wooden beams were nailed horizontally. As soon as the whistle sounded, the spearmen of the Panshi battalion shouted "kill" in unison, stepped forward, and put the Zhangwu spear in their hands on the wooden beam, only poking out the head of the spear and the red tassel that were long to a ruler. The rows of shiny spears are like sharp teeth in the mouth of a monster, waiting to devour and tear the flesh that is about to fall into the mouth, waiting to sharpen itself with fresh life, waiting to dye itself red with blood again.

The dull sound of spears entering flesh was accompanied by a terrible howl, and the attackers of Luojiao Village faced a face-to-face slaughter that was even more brutal than the previous two groups of people. They didn't have any long soldiers except for the sharpened bamboo spear, and Miao Dao could only wield the spear in vain to block the constant spurt, and the greatest effect was only to cut off a few spear heads. Even if the bamboo spear can barely stab through the fence, there is no threat, and the spearmen of the Rock Battalion in iron armor will only bow their heads slightly when the bamboo spear hits the face, and bounce it away with an iron helmet, ignoring the sharp bamboo that pierces the chest and abdomen, and the biggest damage is only to be pushed by the momentum, and then curse viciously, step forward again, and stab the spear in their hands back...... Then, a scream can often be heard.

In front of each row of wooden fences, according to the number of gun beams, the spearmen have two rows, some are three rows, the spearmen in the back row put their spears on the lower beams in the cracks and strive to observe, and those who are separated by two rows and can't see anything are mechanically reciprocating and stabbing to provide enough protection range for the front row of comrades, so that they can concentrate on stabbing the spears in their hands farther and more accurately.

The archers in the back row had changed to a half-bow throw under the command of the team officer at this time, although it was a jamming shot, dozens of Miao soldiers in the corner village were shot down by the feather arrows falling from the sky.

Sun Jie looked up at the sun hanging overhead, and nodded to Shen Gang: "Collect the troops." I still have to hurry, and the Rock Battalion is the rear team to recover my strength. ”

Shen Gang turned around and waved his hand at the Golden Drum Team, and the crisp sound of gold sounded, and the Panshi Battalion was the first to close, followed by the archers who had made the last suppressive shot. The team walked in front of the earthen fortress in turn, and Sun Jie stretched out his big finger to his subordinates approvingly, and praised loudly: "Good fight!" The soldiers raised their heads proudly and shouted in unison, "Kill the thief!" As a response to the god-like handsomeness in their minds.

With the sound of three horns in a row, Mangbe's shooters also jumped down from the stone walls and tree tops one after another. In order to prevent them from running around and scattering their team, Shen Gang had ordered An Yun Ao to meet him several times in advance, and set aside a large assembly area for them, but at this moment, the guys who were excited under the effect of adrenaline still caused a small chaos. Under the reprimand of the officers of the officers of the official army, the local soldiers finally remembered the assembly point and ran away, Sun Jie laughed and waved his hand to comfort An Yunao, who seemed very embarrassed - in fact, the latter was not just simply embarrassed, he witnessed that Sun Jie's department only dispatched an artillery team, hundreds of archers and two hundred spearmen from a war battalion, and he slaughtered two and a half warriors from the village with almost no loss, An Yunao was more afraid, fortunately Sister A chose the right side, otherwise...... An Yunao didn't even dare to think about the next situation.

At the same time, under Su Yinghui's order, dozens of auxiliary teams ran forward against the withdrawn team, and when they reached the pyre of their respective targets, they sprinkled sulfur, rosin, black powder and other materials in the burlap bags they were carrying—in order to prevent unnecessary confusion caused by fires in the chaotic battle, Sun Jie asked to drop these ignition materials when retreating—and then followed the soldiers back to the auxiliary barracks to return.

Adeg, who was so anxious that his eyes were on fire, didn't know why the Han dogs suddenly withdrew their troops. The wooden fence in front of you is simply impregnable: not to mention dragging down with rattan ropes, you can't get close to the front at all, how to trap it? Wave after wave of arrows raining down on the top of the head kept shooting down the people around him and burning them with fire? In a hurry, where can I find a lot of branches and firewood, and how can I pile them up in front of the fence even if each person carries a bundle of firewood? Do you chop with an axe? It's still the same sentence, how can you rely on it!

was beating his chest and couldn't do anything, and the Han dogs in front of him left as a team! Adig didn't bother to think about the reason at all, with a wave of the Miao knife, all the Miao people in Luojiao Village rushed forward, chopping with axes, chopping with Miao knives, digging with hoes, and working together to remove the fence blocking the road, and then rushed forward along the passage between the firewood piles with red eyes...... Then, a flaming locust struck, and the warriors of the whole stockade screamed and fell into the flames.

After the defeat of the attack on Chengdu, he followed Fan Long to Mainan, who was covering for him at Longquanyi, and broke a leg. Fortunately, he found a wild honeycomb, dug up honey and smeared the wound at the cost of being stung all over his head, and avoided a fatal infection, and finally crawled back to find the king of luxury. This time, Hao Chongming took Hao Yin out to help Wusa, and the lame Mai Nan led more than 1,000 old and weak people to guard Chishui City and take care of the wounded soldiers. Although the king said when he left that Naluo rebel dog would definitely not come, Mai Nan was still uneasy in the past few days, and successively sent four groups of scouts to the direction of Yongning. Every time the scouts reported that there was no change from the Luo rebel dog, and the three hidden piles in the forest next to the road also sent the same news every day, which made Mai Nan feel a little reassured.

In the afternoon of that day, I received a report that a group of thirty or forty people had come from the direction of the Aluomi in the south. Mai Nan guessed that most of them were messengers from Bijie, so he limped up the south wall to see. The people who came crossed the pontoon bridge and shouted under the city, and Mai Nan was relieved: it was Shu Lubu, the head of the Dizhai Division, who had a relationship with Elder An before.

Shulub brought bad news: he did come from Bijie, but he was supposed to take a boat back to Shuixi from Chishui. A few days ago, King Hao went to aid Wusa, because he had to communicate the military situation at any time, Bijie also sent a military envoy to follow. When he left, the military envoy came back, bringing the bad news that King Hao had been ambushed by the official army in Hezhang, and nearly half of them were killed and wounded, and he was retreating on the way back.

It was a bolt from the blue! Mai Nan was completely stunned. In battle, of course, there are losses and wins, but he can't understand why the Yongning Army was almost broken in just one battle! In his impression, except for Sun Jie, the Han dog who set up an ambush for one of his legs in Longquanyi, no official or soldier can have this kind of ability. Can...... Didn't Sun Jie already go to Guizhou?

Shulubu couldn't say anything else, after all, he also listened to Bijie's military envoy report, anyway, it won't be long before the king returns, he plans to stay in Chishui for one night, and the next day he will leave for Shuixi.

When Shulubu and the others said goodbye the next morning, the Miao soldiers on the south gate saw about a thousand people coming from the other side. I thought it should be the vanguard of the king's retreat, but when the line approached, a sense of foreboding rose in Mai Nan's heart, how did these people think something was wrong: among so many people, there was not a single familiar face, and most of them had their hands on the hilt of the knife at their waist, intentionally or unintentionally—how could anyone go home and be on guard to draw the knife at any time!

Mai Nan shouted and ordered the earth soldiers guarding the bridge to cut the pontoon bridge, but he didn't expect Shulub's people to move faster, and dozens of people flew up and ran to the pontoon bridge...... Then the bridge keepers fell in a pool of blood!

Mai Nan turned his head to look at Shulub in shock, and at the same time felt a chill between the ribs, and was directly submerged by Shulubu's Miao knife.

Luo Ganxiang, who was mixed in the team, shouted, and the soldiers of more than 1,000 Shui Nao Zhai rushed across the pontoon bridge and rushed into the south gate of Chishui, which was opened.

Two or three thousand more men rushed into the city from the forest to the south.

Chishui Wei Po.

Mainan didn't know until he died, and the Dizhai Division was the first tribe in Shuixi to respond to Zhu Xieyuan's order. Shulubu has been officially granted the post of envoy at this moment, and together with Luo Ganxiang, he has made a big circle from the prestige division of Zhenxiong Mansion, and the two separated at noon the day before yesterday, and Shulubu entered the city first, and at this moment there was a riot, clearing the way for Luo Ganxiang's surprise attack.

On the same day, Sun Jie and An Yunao joined forces with Zhanyi and Wumeng under the city of Wusa, and the gate of Wusa collapsed in the continuous roar of several artillery, and Shebai, Long, and An Yunao led their subordinates to swarm in, and after more than half an hour, the walls were successively raised with the fiery red Ming military flag.
