Chapter 62: Burning the Enemy Camp with Straw Bundles
At this time, a personal soldier came over to report to Erhu that the officers and soldiers had crossed the water blisters and climbed onto the sandbags in the north!
"Huh?" When Erhu heard this, he was shocked, this stronghold was in danger! He hurriedly asked the stupid big black to return to the gate, leaving Zhao Dahu to command the battle guarding the gate, and then hurriedly led his own soldiers to the sandbags over there to reinforce the brothers there.
Erhu hurriedly stepped on his war horse and led ten personal soldiers to pounce on him like arrows from the string. Before they could reach the north, they encountered the influx of officers and soldiers.
So, the two sides fought together. The soldiers of the rebel army had only one belief, and they would rather sacrifice than drag the large army of the officers and soldiers, and if they dragged on for an hour, their large army would be safe for an hour. As long as the large army of the old battalion arrives safely at the place at the junction of Mongolia and Han, it will be like a fish entering the sea and a bird flying into the blue sky, and it will not be long before it will form a prairie fire again and overthrow the corrupt court rule!
It turned out that Liu Ziwen saw that the infantry was blocked at the main gate on the west side, so he sent more than 100 small boats on the vast water area surrounding the horseshoe stronghold, and nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers rowed through the water bubbles, and then through the woods, and climbed onto the horseshoe sandbags that were used as the city wall.
Although the rebel soldiers fought bravely and skillfully, they killed and wounded several times the enemy on the sandbag. However, after all, they were outnumbered and had too few men, so how could 200 soldiers and horses compete with 20,000 officers and troops?
However, none of the rebel soldiers were deserters, and everyone was blood-stained and sweaty. Erhu was so anxious, he didn't expect the official army to break the stronghold so quickly.
At this time. Most of the rebel soldiers were killed and wounded, and the two tigers were heartbroken and were about to enter the officers and soldiers again. Suddenly. As soon as he looked up, he found that a corner of the officers' tent was on fire!
The fire borrowed the power of the wind, and the wind borrowed the fire, and the more it burned, the bigger it became, and in an instant, the smoke billowed out, and the fire burned the camp......
Suddenly, the officers and troops were in chaos. Countless people were burned to death and wounded. The soldiers were dizzy, ghosts cried wolves, and called for their fathers and mothers. Scattered, some rolled on the ground, some ran to the blisters and jumped into the water, and most of them were burned alive......
Liu Ziwen didn't expect the rebels to attack with fire. And at this time, God is also helping the rebels. Suddenly a strong wind blew again, and the tent burned faster, and in the blink of an eye a large tent was burned!
Erhu wondered in his heart, who burned this fire?
It turned out that yesterday evening, after Hong Xuefei led the officers and troops away, he ran in the opposite direction of the ravine. Since it was dark, the officers and soldiers did not see clearly, so they rode their horses up in a mighty way. Later, they found out that they had been fooled. So they sent some men and horses back to the ravine, but the two tigers had already run away. In addition, it was getting late, so the officers and soldiers had no choice but to give up.
But there are still some officers and soldiers who see that Hong Xuefei is a woman and has outstanding beauty, so they desperately chase after her. However, all the officers and soldiers who were about to approach her were let be killed.
Afterwards, Hong Xuefei ran into a forest, and because she was very familiar with the terrain here, she quickly threw off her pursuers, and later ran into the cottage of Baoqizi on a mountain.
When he arrived at the mountain, Hong Xuefei was taken aback, the mountain was already empty, and there was no half a figure.
It turned out that after Zashan Bao found out that a large number of officers and soldiers had come to the camel's neck, he was afraid that Liu Ziwen would seek revenge on him, so he hurriedly dispersed the bandits, divided their own things, and went to find a way to survive. Since then, Zashan Bao and his two masters, the grass snake, the red-faced ghost of the four masters, as well as the crooked neck, seven oblique flutes, eight crutches and other four beams and eight pillars, have disappeared in the Lu Di Realm, and no one knows where they went. Hong Xuefei had no choice but to find some food to eat at her original residence, fill her stomach, and rest for another night.
The next day, she rode her red horse, led a dozen white horses, and went to the horseshoe stronghold.
She was dumbfounded as she approached the horseshoe stronghold. She observed for a long time in the hidden place next to it, and happened to see that many officers and soldiers had boarded boats and launched an all-out attack on the stronghold in the surrounding waters, and some of them had already climbed onto horseshoe sandbags.
Hong Xuefei was anxious and worried about the fate of the brothers in the stronghold. As soon as she turned her head, she suddenly felt a gust of mountain wind coming, she shivered, and lowered her head again, and suddenly found that someone under her feet had laid a lot of grass and tied it up, so her heart moved, and her mouth suddenly opened.
She hurriedly tied the hundreds of pounds of straw to the buttocks of a dozen white horses with ropes, and then drove them to the upwind outlet against the wind, a hidden place more than 300 steps away from the official barracks, and quickly set fire to those bales......
She then got on her horse and drove them away with a whip. Those white horses led more than a dozen rolling fireballs and rushed towards the camp tents of the officers and soldiers!
Hong Xuefei was still trying his best to drive the horses on the horse, and by the time the rope that pulled the bales was burned, the tents made of cotton cloth had already been ignited...... In an instant, the company camp was burned!
It was this burning of the company camp that saved the lives of nearly 100 surviving volunteer soldiers in the horseshoe stronghold. Just now, when the two tigers went to the north for reinforcements, Zhao Dahu and Silly Dahei of Ximen held out for two hours, and finally because they were outnumbered, Ximen also missed.
At this time, the soldiers on both sides were all red-eyed, and there was no longer a general to command, and they were all skirmishers......
Zhao Dahu and Silly Dahei led dozens of brothers and officials to fight to the death. Zhao Dahu held a bow and arrows and shot more than a dozen enemies in a row, and later the same officer and general rolled into the blister together. After they fought in the water with a bag of cigarettes, Zhao Dahu grabbed the head of the enemy general with both hands and pressed him into the water and poured him alive.
At this time, the enemy on the shore fired a volley of bullets at him, and Zhao Dahu hurriedly plunged into the water with a fierce son...... Immediately, a patch of blood appeared in the water. Zhao Dahu never surfaced in that place again, and his life and death were uncertain.
At the moment when Zhao Dahu fell into the water, the stupid big black was on the small bridge in front of the stronghold, blocking the bodies of more than a dozen officers and soldiers with both hands......
Immediately, due to his excessive force, he was also carried into the water by inertia. However, the stupid black coarse man who didn't know how to water was grabbed by the hair of those officers and soldiers who knew water, and his big belly was swollen to a round one, and then he sank......
At this time, Hong Xuefei rode a jujube red horse on the hot land after the fire, and galloped towards the horseshoe stronghold. Along the way, I don't know how many officers and soldiers died under her sword and iron slingshot.
After the fire burned, the surviving officers and soldiers were driven by Liu Ziwen and his generals, and many soldiers formed a group and rushed towards Hong Xuefei.
Just when Hong Xuefei arrived near the west gate of the stronghold, he was surrounded by a large number of officers and troops who gathered more and more, and surrounded and intercepted him! (To be continued......
