Chapter 1208: Procrastination
As soon as the battle began, the artillery positions of the Eight Kings were lifted into the sky.
The ten cannons that blew Zuo Liangyu's scalp numb not long ago turned into a pile of waste five minutes after the battle began.
Zhai Tang and other Jin merchants, seeing this scene, the whole person was numb.
Before the war, Zhai Tang was still a little dissatisfied with the idea of the Eight Kings digging a pit and advancing slowly, he thought that the fire guns were not easy to deal with, mainly because they took advantage of the range, but now that they had the advantage of range, there was no reason to be afraid of the fire guns.
Outside the range of the firebolt, the cannon fires the damn and won't you win?
Zhai Tang thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it.
But five minutes after the start of the battle, he changed his mind.
His ten cannons had only fired one round of fire, and the shells didn't know where they flew.
On the opposite side, countless small barrels opened fire together, and in a short period of time several rounds were fired. The artillery positions were immediately subjected to inhumane bombardment, and in the blink of an eye, the artillery rolled to the ground, all silent.
Fortunately, the artillerymen were more clever and lay on the ground at the first time, so many people saved their lives, but Rao was so, and they also lost the ability to fight.
As for the ballistas and trebuchets, it was even funnier, they were blown apart before they even had time to fire.
"Forward, go."
The bandits in the army of the Eight Kings pushed the cart forward slowly.
Behind the wagons were trenches that stretched forward rapidly......
"Fire!"
The firearms troops in Gaojia Village were not idle, and continued to fire fiercely at the thieves.
Cannonballs whizzed.
But the thieves under the Eight Kings are really quite experienced, as soon as they hear the sound of cannons, no matter where the cannonball is flying, they will lie down first, and some even jump directly into the trench behind them.
The shells landed, roared, shrapnel flew, but did not do much damage to the enemy in the trenches.
"Hahaha, I knew it would work."
The Eight Kings were overjoyed: "Advance, advance!" ”
The bandits are moving forward......
However, when they advanced to a certain distance, they found that this trick did not work, and the soldiers of Gaojia Village waved their hands, and the grenade crossed a distance of dozens of meters and fell into the trench dug by the thieves.
"Boom!"
The thieves in the trenches died immediately.
There are also soldiers in Gaojia Village who put a piece of cloth on the mouth of an oil pot, and after lighting the cloth, they threw it hard at the trench on the side of the Liukou, and the oil pot fell into the pit, and broke with a click, and the hot oil flowed away, and the fire immediately spread, and the entire trench burned to the sky.
The thieves who were digging the trenches forward with their hoes also stopped their hands, and did not dare to dig any further, because they knew that the further they dug, the easier it was to be attacked by the opponent's grenades and oil cans, and they had only one way to die.
As a result, the situation of trench confrontation was formed.
The thieves poked their heads out of the trenches and threw arrows at the trenches in Gaojia Village, harassing the soldiers of Gaojia Village in this way.
The soldiers of Gaojia Village blocked the movements of the rogues with firearms, so that they did not dare to jump out of the trenches and charge.
The positions of the two sides were separated by a distance of several tens of meters, and the fighting was lively, but the number of casualties was not high.
A bandit retreated to the base of the Eight Kings: "Big brother, we can't get by, as long as we jump out of the trench, we will be shot." But if you want to continue digging, you can't do it, there are always small bombs falling into our trenches on the opposite side, and they will be blown up as soon as they dig up. ”

Pan Duao: "We also need to get some oil pots and throw them into the trenches on the opposite side to burn them." ”
After saying this, he turned his head to look at Zhai Tang.
The rogues are very poor, where can they get the oil?
Of course, you can only count on Jin Shang.
Zhai Tang's face darkened: "Our oil is not enough to eat, how can there be so much oil to throw out and burn?" ”
Well, the landlord's family has no surplus food.
Although Jin Shang is rich, compared to Tianzun, it is the difference between Firefly and Haoyue. Playing with material supply, where can Jin Shang have fun.
"It seems that the daytime can only pass like this."
The Eight Kings couldn't come up with an effective way to break through......
A whole day was spent in the trenches pitching each other.
It was getting dark, and the thieves were thinking again.
Pan Duao: "When it gets dark, let our people sneak over against the ground and climb into the trenches on the opposite side, as long as we grab a small section of the trenches, we have the advantage of numbers, and we can push them along the trenches." ”
"Clever plan!" The Eight Kings and Zhai Tang both felt that this plan was reliable.
But......
When the sun set and the sky was not yet completely dark, the people of Gaojia Village actually picked up one oil lamp after another on the position, and erected bamboo poles in the trenches everywhere and behind the low walls.
There was an oil lamp on the bamboo pole, and the oil burned as if it didn't need money.
A large number of oil lamps illuminated the entire position.
This is a sneak attack!
So, the plan of a sneak attack at night failed again.
Early the next morning, the two armies had no choice but to "harass" and shoot at each other across the trenches.
A group of rogues were so anxious that they got angry, and when they lifted their knives, they charged.
The sound of fire guns banged and banged, and all these "brave" reckless men fell, so no one dared to rush again, and everyone resumed hiding in the ditch, and the rhythm of shooting an arrow at a distance of dozens of meters and I put a gun.
Three days later, early in the morning......
"I always feel like something is wrong." Pan Duao: "If we delay like this, those strange firecrackers will come." ”
As soon as he thought of this, the scout ran over and shouted urgently: "Big brother, military advisor, the big thing is not good, the defenders of Wuchang are catching up from behind us." ”
"Wuchang defenders?" The Eight Kings Daqi: "Where did the defenders of Wuchang come from?" ”
"It seems that the king of Chu spent money to hire him, a few days ago, our spies who were ambushed in the city sent back the news that the king of Chu gave one million taels of silver to mobilize the people of the whole city to participate in the war and defend the city. This army that came out inexplicably should have been hired by the King of Chu with a lot of money. ”
The Eight Kings sneered: "I took a sum of money and hired a group of ordinary people and wanted to beat me?" My Eight Kings are so easy to bully? The combat effectiveness of his so-called army is only not as good as mine ten years ago. ”
Ten years ago, the rogues, that is, a group of ordinary people picked up a hoe and started to do it, unorganized, undisciplined and tactical, only one move F2A when encountering the enemy, now looking back on the year, I feel really stupid bubbling.
The Eight Kings shook their heads with a smile, and said to their righteous descendants: "Your cavalry can't attack these trenches in Yangliuwan Town anyway, so you can turn around and clean up the miscellaneous army of King Chu from Wuchang." ”
Sun Kewang said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, the miscellaneous army is facing the cavalry charge, and they can't bear a single face, I can easily get rid of them." ”
