Chapter 869: Evacuation

The strength of 6,000 troops is not small, but it is not possible to completely encircle and blockade Heitai Mountain, and the terrain of Heitai Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the officers and soldiers want to break the village, they can only storm the gate from the front. However, the mountain roads are narrow, and although the number of officers and men is large, it is difficult to spread them out completely, and it is impossible to give full play to the superiority in troops.

In addition, although there is a large open space outside the Heitai Cottage, it can only accommodate five or six hundred people, and this open space is seriously sloping, making it difficult to use siege equipment such as ladders and arrow towers, and even the artillery is very difficult to erect.

Wuding Marquis Guo Xun came to pick up the cheap this time, so naturally he would not send his own descendants to be cannon fodder, especially when he saw the terrain in front of him, he had no interest in making a move, but just stationed the three thousand soldiers of the Yaowu Battalion at the foot of the mountain to watch the excitement, and threw the hard bones to the chief soldier Wang Bogu to gnaw, anyway, as long as the cottage was broken, Wang Bogu did not dare to lose his share of credit.

Wang Bogu naturally dared not speak out of anger about this, so he had to order his soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Heitai Cottage, and the emperor personally ordered it, and the deadline was only one day, how could he dare to be the slightest neglect.

This time, the main attack on the cottage was Pingyuwei, with a strength of 3,000, and it was personally commanded by the commander Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu's military talent was decent, and he divided his 3,000 troops into three groups, led by their respective thousand households, and launched a series of attacks on Heitai Cottage.

"Kill!" The 500 officers and men of the Pingyu Guard shouted loudly and took the lead in launching the first wave of attacks.

They mainly used hooks and other tools to climb the wall, but a row of sharp arrows shot out of the village, killing and wounding more than a dozen people on the spot, and the remaining officers and soldiers immediately turned around in fright, leaving only a dozen corpses behind, and a few wounded screamed in a pool of blood.

Seeing this, Wang Bogu was shocked and angry, pulled out his waist knife and beheaded a retreating officer and soldier, and shouted: "Those who retreat, behead!" ”

The officers and soldiers had no choice but to attack again, but this time they learned to be obedient, and they all found shields, or planks to resist the arrows, and at the same time sent archers to shoot at the archers in the village to cover.

Whoosh ......

However, seeing the rain of arrows in the sky, this time nearly 100 officers and soldiers finally touched the wall under the cover of shields, some drew their knives and slashed the gate of the village, and some threw the hook rope on the wall in an attempt to climb over the wall, but as soon as they climbed halfway, countless stones and boiling dung fell down on their heads......

Amid the terrible screams, the officers and men rolled down from the wall like dumplings, and either their heads were smashed with stones and their blood flowed, or they were scalded by dung and water, and some officers and men were lucky enough to climb the wall, and before they could be happy, they were pierced in the heart by spears and bamboo guns, and their corpses fell down and were bloody and confused.

In this way, the second wave of the attack of the officers and soldiers was repulsed, the casualties were even more serious than the first, and earth-shaking cheers were heard from the village.

"Haha, look, the officers and soldiers have this ability, I said that they don't need to be withdrawn." A villager holding a bamboo gun said triumphantly

Another villager carrying a dung bucket and holding a dung scoop stood on the wall, waving the dung scoop in his hand and shouting: "Listen to the dog officers and soldiers outside, there is a lot of fresh and hot yellow soup, welcome to climb the wall and taste it!" ”

The other villagers immediately burst into laughter, the morale is not generally high, who knew that the laughter did not stop when a gunshot was heard, the body of the village people wielding a dung scoop was shocked, and they were planted directly from the wall.

"Hit, hit!" Outside the village, an officer and soldier raised a still smoking firearm and shouted excitedly.

Wang Bogu, who was originally pale, looked a little gloomy, and shouted: "Bring the artillery up, so that these bandits can understand what it means to block the car." ”

Soon, seven or eight pieces of artillery were carried up by the officers and soldiers and lined up in the open space outside the gate.

"It's not good, the officers and soldiers are going to use artillery!" Xue Bingxin, Zhao Hu and the others all changed their faces drastically, and hurriedly ordered the archers to snipe the gunners of the officers and soldiers with heavy bows.

Because the open space outside the gate of the village is not large, it is completely within the range coverage of the three-stone bow, but there are not many archers who can make the three-stone bow in the village, and the second master Lei Jun is one, but Lei Jun's injury is not good, and he can't open the bow, so there are only two other archers left who can make the three-stone bow.

However, after the two archers sniped several gunners with three-stone bows, the officers and men were also on guard and covered the gunners by following the cards, and finally set up a few cannons.

"Fire the gun, fuck it!" The commander of the Ping Yuwei made Zhang Wu shout.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The officers and men missed several shells one after another, hitting the solid wall, and naturally the effect was not great, and in addition the open space was already tilted, every time a shot was fired, the artillery had to slip out of the way, and one of them even rolled directly down the mountain.

Wang Bogu and Zhang Wu couldn't help but be angry when they saw this, but fortunately, finally a gunner was angry, and a shot hit the walled gate, only to hear a bang, and the walled gate was blown up to sawdust.

"Okay, tonight for your kid and chicken retreat, another shot!" Zhang Wuda praised happily.

Boom......

The Zhaimen Gate was finally torn apart under the bombardment of artillery, and the officers and soldiers immediately rushed to the Zhaimen like a tide, but this was not the arrival of victory, but the beginning of a nightmare.

At this time, the sandwich walls on both sides of the walled gate became a meat grinder for harvesting human lives, and I saw that the seven or eight officers and soldiers who rushed to the front were immediately pierced into human meat skewers by the spears poking out of the hole in the wall, and the road ahead was immediately sealed, and then, two barrels of fire oil fell down on the arrow towers on both sides, and the officers and soldiers scalded the soup to death and injured many people.

This is not enough, a rocket shot down, the gate of the village suddenly burned into a sea of fire, just now the officers and soldiers who were rushing forward immediately cried and shouted and ran back, trampling on each other under the countless casualties, plus sharp arrows whizzing down from both sides, the casualties of officers and soldiers were even more serious, and the vicinity of the gate of the village instantly became like a hell of Shura.

Wang Bogu and Zhang Wu were both frightened when they saw this, and they didn't dare to send people up to death for a while, and Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, who was watching the battle in the back, also broke out in a cold sweat.

There were bursts of cheers in the village again, and the second leader, Zhao Hu, laughed and said: "Dog officers and soldiers, if you are not afraid of death, just come!" ”

Xue Bingxin didn't dare to be blindly optimistic, this was just the beginning, she immediately ordered someone to bring the spare gate of the wall, and took advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers did not dare to attack to reinstall the walled gate.

"Fourth uncle, how many people have been evacuated?" Xue Bingxin saw that the gate had been successfully installed, and couldn't help but ask with a sigh of relief.

There is a secret sheep intestine trail behind Heitai Mountain, which can lead directly to the neighboring Jiaotai Mountain, and you can climb over the Great Wall to the north from Jiaotai Mountain, but the road is very difficult to walk, and it is not suitable for the old and weak women and children to pass, but it is just a matter of urgency, and now I can't take care of it so much, just before the officers and soldiers attack the mountain, Xue Bingxin has let the old and weak women and children in the village evacuate from the back mountain path.

The fourth uncle replied with a solemn face: "Only more than 50 people have been evacuated, and there are more than 200 people!" ”

Xue Bingxin couldn't help but say anxiously when she heard this: "It's too slow, let everyone only bring clothes, bedding and food, and leave all the other unimportant ones." ”

"Okay, the old slave will go and inform everyone, Miss pay attention to safety!" The fourth uncle said with a solemn expression, although the attack of the officers and soldiers is temporarily resisted at present, but the officers and soldiers are numerous, once the arrows, oil, and stones are consumed, I am afraid that the cottage will not be able to hold it.

But think about it carefully, if the order was given by Emperor Jiajing, would these officers and soldiers dare to work hard? So it's right to evacuate, not only to evacuate, but also to flee far away.

Next, the officers and soldiers launched several waves of fierce attacks, but they were all repulsed, however, at this time, the villagers were not happy, because the officers and soldiers also caused them a lot of casualties, the key is that more than half of the defensive materials such as arrows, stones, and fire oil have been consumed, and the officers and soldiers should be used up after a few more fierce attacks.

At this moment, the villagers realized that the officers and soldiers were really playing with their lives this time, and they did not withdraw even if the casualties were so large, which was fundamentally different from the previous bluff, and this time it was a big trouble!

For a while, the people in the village who opposed the evacuation before began to regret it faintly, but there is no such thing as regret medicine in the world, and now they have to fight hard, because there are still many old and weak women and children in the village who have not been evacuated, and even if they are withdrawn, at least they have to buy half a day to escape.

Fortunately, it was finally completely dark at this time, and the officers and soldiers retreated to the foot of the mountain one after another to set up camp, and it was estimated that they would not attack again until dawn.

Xue Bingxin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and stepped up the arrangement of manpower to help transfer the old and weak women and children and materials in the village.
