Chapter 345: I'm just scaring and scaring them
"Bastard, where are you? If you come out, I'll kill you......" Ren Baqian was at the corner of the city wall, quietly poking his head out to take a closer look into the darkness in the distance.
He didn't notice that an antenna on his head had completely exposed him.
This is the corner of the east wall and the south wall, and it is one of the few calmer places.
The shouts of killing came from a distance of more than ten meters next to him, but he ignored it.
"Pay attention to the direction of the arrow, where it was fired. Ren Baqian told Shi Hu beside him, Shi Hu also had a night vision device on the door of his head, and he was looking out curiously, but he didn't expect to use this thing to see people like this, which made him feel very novel.
"Tell me to go down, let it go!" Ren Baqian said behind him, he had already adjusted the angle of the mortar, and the people who stayed there only needed to put the shells in.
After a while, a cannon rang out from the city, and Ren Baqian stared closely at the sea of people below, although he couldn't see the people clearly, but he could see some movements, as long as he looked for the figure who bent the bow and arrows at that time, the range of the bow's movements was not small, and it was very likely that he would find out.
"Boom!" the shell exploded directly outside the city walls, dyeing a corner of the night vision goggles red.
At that moment, he saw at least three people making the same move, but none of them were able to shoot.
"Is it one of them?" Ren Baqian thought in his heart, and endured not to shoot.
Quietly slipped down the city wall, readjusted the mortar to an angle, and Ren Baqian hid at the head of the city again, letting people open fire.
"Bang!"
Ren Baqian looked at the figure in the dark carefully, and cursed MMP in his heart, this time at least ten people made the same action.
Great Xia doesn't just have a marksman, so there's no one to find at all.
Thinking of this, Ren Baqian moved the gun carriage down, held down the trigger and swept over.
Whether it's or not, if you hit it, you will be unlucky.
The first two archers were beaten into rags before they could react.
The third archer leaped backwards and then ran.
"Master! Master must die!" Ren Baqian suddenly seemed to have found the main master, and he didn't care about the others at all, and directly swept towards the figure with a machine gun spraying a metal dragon.
However, there were too many people in the darkness outside, and they could only see the color blocks formed by the heat emitted by the human body, and that person only dodged a few times, and it was difficult for Ren Baqian to find him from the crowd.
After beating a bullet chain in the general direction, Ren Baqian let Shi Hu carry a spear down the city wall.
There are still a lot of things to do at night, and I can't keep spending time with him.
After a few more than 8,000 shells, several faults were formed outside the east city wall, so that the soldiers on the city wall in this direction could breathe a sigh of relief.
Moreover, most of the ladders have been destroyed, and the intensity of the attack at this time is quite acceptable, and some of the soldiers can even take turns to rest.
With Ren Baqian going to the north gate and firing eight shots in a row, two more shells were fired, one of which hit the wall and then fell to the ground and exploded. The other, like the two on the east side, was hung directly on the wall.
These cannons were fired, and the Xia army outside the city wall was immediately emptied, and most of the cloud ladders disappeared.
After going in all three directions, Daxia's attack finally weakened, and after another half an hour, Mingjin finally withdrew his troops. Without the siege equipment of the ladder, even if there are many of them, it is useless, and they can only step up the cutting of the woods outside to make equipment in order to organize the next wave of attacks.
When the Great Xia army collected its troops, many soldiers sat directly in a pool of blood, leaning against the wall, and fell into a deep sleep.
After fighting for so long, even the iron man can't bear it.
Ren Baqian once again climbed the city wall with his guards.
"Take that down. Ren Baqian pointed to the cannonball that was nailed to the wall below and said to Shi Hu.
"It's not going to explode, is it?" Shi Hu knows the power of this thing, and he has seen it too many times in the past two days.
"Just be careful not to touch the front end. Ren Baqian waved his hand.
He had already asked about this thing, this kind of shell is double safe, one is opened when the bottom end is fired, and the other is the fuse at the top, which needs to fall and reach a certain strength before touching the fuse to explode.
As long as one condition is not met, it is safe.
Not to mention that it is pierced by an arrow now, even if it is hit by a tracer bullet, it will not explode easily.
Ren Baqian asked people to find a few pieces of cloth, first cut off the arrow shaft and pull it out, and then bandaged the cannonball, let people carefully put it aside, and throw it directly down the next time Great Xia attacked.
He didn't know if it would explode in this situation.
Even if it can't explode, it can kill one.
Then he carefully looked at the long arrows that had been cut off from the cannonballs, all of which were wooden poles, with white feathers as tails, and arrows made of fine iron at the front.
After looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything, and handed the two short arrows to Shi Hu.
"My lord, it's the same man's arrow. Shi Hu only glanced at it and said.
"How do you know?" asked Ren Baqian curiously.
"Some archers would mark the arrow, meaning that the person had been killed by himself. Here, there is a carved mark, both arrows. Shi Hu explained, handed the tail of the arrow to Ren Baqian, pointed to the tail and said.
"Sure enough!" Ren Baqian looked towards the place where Shi Hu was pointing, and sure enough, he found a small pattern at the bottom of the arrow shaft, like a simple flower.
"Well, if he doesn't die, it's his fate. Ren Baqian waved his hand, no longer paying attention to the matter of the archer, returned to the city order mansion and moved out the box containing the mines, and hurried out of the city with the people, scattering and burying ten mines more than 100 to 200 meters outside the city.
Type 72 anti-infantry jumping mine, after being stepped on, the thunder part of it will jump to a height of one meter to two meters and explode, the power of the explosion is not strong, but the 650 anti-personnel fragments contained in it can create a large number of wounded within a radius of 14 meters.
Such mines are not meant to kill in themselves, but to injure. After all, an injured person needs two people to carry it away, and it needs someone to take care of it, which can drag the other party down more than killing them directly.
And the wounded still have to eat food.
This is also the reason why Ren Baqian brought back the mines after returning to Earth.
The other party wants to redeem the child, so he will create a large number of wounded for him. You can't fight, you have to send people to take care of it, and you have to consume food.
"Be careful not to step on it, if anyone steps on it, it is estimated that they can be buried directly in the soil. Ren Baqian put the mine into the earthen pit, sprinkled the soil on both sides and covered it, and emphasized it again.
Hearing this, the guards and flying horses around him immediately fell silent.
These things used by Ren Baqian, even if they are at the earth wheel level, will be seriously injured and killed if one is not careful.
They are all very sturdy men, and the aisles are like cats, and they don't even have an atmosphere.
In fact, these mines do not become operational until they have been planted for a period of time, in order to prevent the mine-laying personnel from accidentally stepping on them.
At the same time, the so-called jumping mine is not like in film and television works, if you step on or be pressed by something, it will not jump out and explode, as long as you step on it, the fuse will be ignited, even if it does not move, it will explode in place in a short time, but the damage to the surrounding area will be smaller.
Then ten mines were planted in each of the three directions of the north and west of the city, and Ren Baqian took people back to the city, and asked people to find a dozen white cloths, and crawled out with chicken paws to write on them: "Watch your step!"
"My lord, isn't this a reminder to them, what if they find out?" Shi Hu said, touching his head.
"How many meters can I see this cloth?" asked Ren Baqian with squinted eyes.
When Shi Hu heard this, he turned around and ran into the distance, then took a closer look at the light of the lantern, and ran back and said, "Thirty or forty zhang during the day, right? Now it's only about ten zhang, so I can't see it clearly." ”
"How far are we buried?" Ren Baqian hated iron and could not become steel.
"It's going to have to be fifty or sixty feet. Shi Hu snapped his fingers and calculated.
"Isn't that enough? The other party stepped on the thunder first, killing and injuring one another. And then when you see the cloth on the city wall, do you pay attention to your feet when you walk? Even if you don't want to pay attention, you can't stop them from thinking nonsense, right?"
"And then, we didn't bury it under the city walls, they'll find out soon!" Shi Hu continued, still still not figuring out what Ren Baqian's intentions were.
Ren Baqian hugged his arms with a serious face: "I'm just scaring and scaring them!"
Shi Hu: ......
......
The next day, Daxia rested for a full day, and on the third day, he came out with a bunch of ladders to continue the siege.
Nowadays, there are no such large ladders that move like buildings, and they are all ladders like ladders, which can be carried directly by a few people to the city wall.
The army first lined up in a military formation, and approached Liao Cheng with a murderous atmosphere.
Ren Baqian heard the news that the Great Xia army had left the camp, so he hurried to the city wall with the empress, Li Qianqiu and others, only to see the neat army out of the barracks lined up in a military formation and approaching Liao Cheng.
At the front were still the men with shields, and behind were the archers and spearmen.
And between the two columns of soldiers, there were several men carrying ladders.
As far as the eye could see, there were at least forty ladders, and there were ladders coming out of the camp behind.
"They cut down our trees when they make ladders, right?" Ren Baqian suddenly had such an idea in his mind.
"They make fires and cook and cut down our trees!" Li Qianqiu followed quietly beside him.
"Does this count as eating us, using ours, and beating us?" Ren Baqian asked again.
Li Qianqiu's expression froze, he had never considered this question before. Now let the eight thousand one say it, it seems to be like this!
Suddenly, the whole person was in a bad mood.
"It's almost there!" Ren Baqian and Li Qianqiu chatted a few words, seeing that the Great Xia Army was already approaching the farthest one of the mines buried yesterday.
Li Qianqiu knew that Ren Baqian ran out at night to bury something, but he didn't know what it was, and as soon as he heard him say it at this time, he focused on watching it carefully.
When a platoon of troops stepped over the first mine, the second row stepped over again, and miraculously did not step on it.
However, one of the archers in the third row made a slight "click" sound when his feet fell.
A second later, when he lifted his footsteps, the thunderbolt bounced straight off the ground.
"Boom!"
With the flash of fire, countless steel balls and fragments shot out in all directions.
In addition to the nearest people who were blown up and directly smashed into a sieve, many people were injured by the indiscriminate shooting of fragments, and the army formation of Great Xia suddenly became chaotic.
Then the second, the third......
Everyone looked at the gradually chaotic Great Xia army formation at the head of the city, and immediately refreshed.
"Governor Ren, what kind of treasure is this time?" Li Qianqiu turned his head and asked.
"Jump thunder!" Ren Baqian said two words.
He just discovered a very interesting thing, the Great Xia army formation is the shield soldiers in front, the crossbow battalion and the archers in the back, this is to prevent the impact of the ancient army, which can be covered with a rain of arrows at the first time.
However, at this time, almost all of these mines exploded in the crossbow battalion and the ranks of the archers, causing the most damage to these crossbowmen and archers who did not have much protection.
Although the number of people killed and injured was not too many, there were three or four hundred people, most of whom were wounded, especially in the lower three lanes, down the waist......
Before the Great Xia army could reach the city walls, it fell into chaos.
After a full hour, the Great Xia army continued to move forward, and at this time, the people in front had good eyes to see what was written on the white cloth on the city wall.
However, what Ren Baqian didn't expect happened, those Great Xia soldiers didn't panic at all as if they hadn't seen it.
"Uncle, those illiterate people can't read!" Ren Baqian finally found out where the reason was for a long time, and almost dropped the cup.
