Chapter 139: Attacking the Village
39 siege
(Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe, I just returned from my hometown this afternoon, and I hurriedly coded out a chapter and sent it first.) )
To tell the truth, these stewards of each village really don't want to listen to Liu Jinbao's order, but after they just promised to obey Liu Jinbao, as soon as they spoke, you refused the first order of the people, which didn't seem good.
In addition, with Sunjiabao and Wangjiazhuang acting without permission in front, they ran the fastest, so that they fell into the big pit set up by this bandit, and buried themselves alive, so that the remaining villagers were much more disciplined and honest.
Liu Jinbao is also secretly happy about this, and now Liu Jinbao's plan is to use the artillery, archers and bird gunners in his hands to suppress the bandits on the wall for these villagers, and let these villagers go up to consume the bandits.
After the village stewards of each village agreed to come down, they immediately beckoned their men and began to carry long ladders and shields, ready to attack.
However, with the tragic lessons of Sunjiabao and Wangjiazhuang in front of them, these generals in charge of each village will not send all the manpower in their hands at one time anyway.
No one wants to lose too much of their strength, and they all want to preserve their strength, so in the end, the total number of managers of each village is to send a hundred people to carry out a tentative attack.
The archers and firecrackers of the 100 officers and soldiers lined up in front, and under the cover of the rattan players, they shot at the top of the wall, trying to suppress the firepower of Li Zixiao's archers and bird-gunners on the wall.
It's just that there are not many officers and soldiers under Liu Jinbao who are equipped with firearms, but they are equipped with a lot of three-eyed guns, but the range of the three-eyed guns is really limited.
Therefore, although these officers and soldiers could hear the crackling and shooting of these officers and soldiers, no one directed them to fire a salvo at all, and after fighting for a long time, not a single cottage soldier was hit by a projectile on the wall.
However, there were quite a few archers among the officers and soldiers, and they opened their bows and arrows one after another, and for a time the sound of swishing bowstrings became one, and the arrows fell on the wall.
It's a pity that these archers haven't had much training for a long time, and because of malnutrition and weak health, these archers have limited arm strength.
In addition, the hard bows in their hands are poorly maintained on weekdays, and the bow arms have become weak and weak, and most of the shots are light arrows.
It looks scary, but after the arrow is fired, it is fluttering, it does not carry much force, and the lethality is not large, it is completely useless, and at most it can play some symbolic threat.
The arrows fired by the officers and soldiers and archers, after flying a long distance with a whizz, landed on the wall and could not even be nailed into the planks, and then all fell to the ground with a crackle.
There were even some arrows that did not fly to the wall, and fell to the ground halfway, which did not pose much threat to the cottage soldiers on the wall.
The archers and musketeers of the officers and soldiers had been shooting for such a long time, and only one unlucky man was shot in the arm by an arrow on the wall of the cottage, causing a slight injury.
Although the attack effect of these officers and soldiers archers and musketeers was not good, they could be regarded as providing a certain degree of fire cover for those villagers who were responsible for attacking the village, and brought a lot of courage to these villagers.
Under the order of the village warrior stewards, these villagers carried the long ladder one after another, holding a rattan card in one hand to cover the top of their heads and upper body, and made an earth-shaking shouting and killing sound, which caused a lot of momentum, and rushed towards the walled gate.
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and load the bombs, continue to bombard Lao Tzu, and blast open the gate of this cottage to Lao Tzu, if you can't open it, Lao Tzu will send you to rush up."
As soon as Liu Jinbao saw that these villagers had begun to attack, he went up and kicked a gunner's ass and scolded the guys who were watching the excitement with their mouths open.
As soon as these gunners heard that they were going to be sent to rush forward, they all trembled in their hearts, they all knew that the danger of the infantry charging and attacking the city was the greatest, and the casualty rate was the highest, so it was safe for them artillerymen to hide behind and open fire!
was shouted by Liu Jinbao like this, and these gunners sped up again.
The gunners who operated the Furlong cannon used hammers to knock down the wedge of the plug gun, removed the gun from the belly of the mother gun, and then busily cleaned the chamber of the Furlong gun.
Then they stuffed the second gun of the Furlong cannon into the belly of the gun, and busied themselves with wedges to firmly drive the gun into the mother gun and fix it properly.
They were very careful in this step, because when the second sub-gun of the Furlong machine was loaded, it had to be tightly docked with the mother gun.
If the gunner does not reload properly, gunpowder gas will leak, which will often cause a hot flame to erupt at the interface, which will seriously burn the gunner, which is very dangerous.
Therefore, some experienced veteran gunners, when they reload the Furlong machine gun, will be very careful, so as not to hit the enemy by then, and first roast their own people.
However, the Furlong gun also has a very obvious advantage, that is, it can be reloaded much faster than those of the front-loading guns, and if the gunners are skilled, they can reload in a very short time.
The Tiger Squat Cannon is much more troublesome to load, and a series of procedures such as clearing, charging, and loading are completed, and it takes at least two minutes to complete.
And when loading gunpowder, you must be careful, not too much gunpowder, which will cause the tiger squat cannon to explode when firing.
Due to the very complicated reloading procedure of the Tiger Squat Cannon, and the fact that the officers and soldiers and gunners basically did not train much on weekdays, this caused their reloading speed at this time to be outrageously slow, like a turtle speed.
With Liu Jinbao's order, the loud sound of 'boom' rang out again, and several Fulong machine guns and tiger squat guns shot projectiles together.
The initial velocity of the projectile was very fast, and it hit the wooden gate of the heavy layer of iron in the distance, and then two more holes were punched out of it.
In the shouts of the stewards of each village, under the cover of the fire and wind of the officers and soldiers, the villagers of each village carried the long ladder and carefully rushed to the bottom of the wall.
The cottage soldiers on the walled wall did not move much at this time, as if the muskets and artillery of the officers and soldiers, and the archers had already frightened them.
For these villagers to rush to the wall, the resistance of the cottage wall is very weak, only the cold archers show their heads and release an arrow, but basically there is no way to stop these hundreds of villagers from approaching the wall.
And it wasn't until the villagers leaned on the wall, that the counterattack of the soldiers on the wall became more intense.
The soldiers on the wall pushed stones and logs off the wall, knocked over several villagers, and provoked the villagers to let out a cry of exclamation and scolding under the wall.
Fortunately, the cottage soldiers on the wall of the village did not dare to show their heads, but just threw stones and trees under the wall, but did not give these villagers any big trouble to attack, and only injured a few people.
Li Zixiao didn't give the order to let his archers and bird gunners fight hard with the artillery, archers, and musketeers of the officers and soldiers outside, which was too irrational.
When these more than 400 villagers rushed to the wall of the cottage, they erected the long ladder one by one and put it on the wall, and those villagers were encouraged by the reward of their stewards.
So some villagers gritted the steel knife with their teeth, held the rattan card in one hand, and held the trembling long ladder with the other, and began to climb up.
At this time, the archers and musketeers of the officers and soldiers also stopped shooting for fear of hurting their own people, and Liu Jinbao sent a large group of villagers to push a cart loaded with a large log and rushed straight in the direction of the Zhaimen.
As soon as the archers and musketeers stopped, the guns also stopped firing, and the officers and soldiers stood behind them shouting like a good show, urging the villagers in front of them to rush and kill with a sarcastic tone.
And some of the cottage soldiers on the wall, after seeing the archers, musketeers and artillery of the officers and soldiers outside at this time, finally had a breather and showed their heads.
As soon as they saw that the enemy was about to rush forward, they picked up the big stones that had been placed on the wall and threw them down, and the counterattack was much more violent.
The boulder that rolled down smashed a few villagers who climbed the ladder to the wall, and smashed them down, one by one they broke their heads and bloodied, their bones were broken and their tendons were broken, and they were screaming and screaming under the wall, and they were soon dragged down by their companions.
At this time, some of these villagers dressed up by other poles were the most fierce at this time, and they climbed up the long ladder one by one, and climbed quickly towards the wall along the long ladder.
After a while, someone finally climbed the wall, but as soon as a few villagers showed their heads on the wall, they saw a flash of cold light in front of them, and several cottage recruits were each holding spears, and quickly poked out of the deliberately exposed battlements on the wall.
Before a few villagers could resist, some of them were immediately stabbed through the chest, and one by one they let out a terrible scream, and the corpses were planted on the wall.
These villagers who had just attacked were stabbed so much in the blink of an eye, they suffered such a serious gunshot wound, and they fell from such a high place, nine out of ten must die.
The sudden counterattack on the walled wall directly stabbed all the dozen or so villagers who were about to rush to the wall, making the offensive of the villagers stunned, and their morale was hit.
The townspeople below urged the people on the ladder to climb up, and the townsmen on the ladder really didn't want to rush up, so they deliberately killed time, and didn't see that the guys who rushed up at the first time were dead!
But at this time, in the first round of attack, not to mention that Liu Jinbao did not allow them to withdraw like this, even the stewards of the villages were embarrassed to withdraw.
More than 400 villagers bravely went forward one after another, and finally someone killed the cottage for the second time, and immediately saw two cottage soldiers stabbing him with guns, which was too fast.
However, the big man who had just rushed up was not simple, one sideways dodged a shot, but was stabbed in the waist by another shot.
But the big man endured the pain, directly cut off the shaft of the spear that stabbed his spear, and jumped into the wall of the cottage.
The kind of outlaw who licks blood on the tip of the knife, he is part of some of the poles invited by the Cai family, and it is really fatal to fight, and as he jumps on the wall, he really keeps a vacancy.
In an instant, the villagers who rushed up behind were suddenly excited, climbing desperately, hoping to completely capture the cottage wall in one go.
"Steady, listen to my orders, attack, stab Lao Tzu with all these blows, if you can't hold the wall, you will all die!" At this time, Liu Chong walked up to the wall and shouted loudly at the more than 100 recruits who were waiting for the order to attack.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
After listening to Liu Chong's order, these cottage recruits also showed a hideous look on their faces, gritted their teeth and attacked decisively, lined up like a team on the wall, and poked out their spears together.
Poof, poof......
The sound of spears stabbing into the flesh and blood of the human body, blood splashed, and the sound of killing shook the sky, Liu Chong and more than 100 recruits forcibly killed the villagers who were about to rush to the wall.
Li Zixiao handed over the task of guarding the walled cottage to these more than 100 recruits, in order to let them see blood and feel the feeling of killing people on the battlefield.
As for the two teams of soldiers who were only left in the cottage in Li Zixiao's hands at this time, it was not yet time for them to play, Li Zixiao believed that even if he used a hundred recruits to fight hundreds of villagers, with the cover of this wall, they would have a chance to win.
After about ten minutes, more than 400 villagers were finally repelled by the 100 or so recruits on the wall, and there were casualties on both sides.
Among them, 20 people were killed and 17 were injured on Xiang Yong's side, and Li Zixiao's recruits were killed in the battle of 8 people, and a total of 16 recruits were injured and 5 were slightly injured.
Liu Jinbao looked at the chaotic scene, a look of disdain appeared on his fat face, although he had already guessed that this might be the result, but when he saw these townsmen defeated at this time, he still felt disdain and disappointment.
This piece of Xiangyong has already rushed to kill dozens of poles on the wall, as long as dozens of them can hold the battlements of the walled wall for a short time, the Xiangyong who followed behind can be inserted by the Chen family.
With the support of "powerful" firepower, these villagers still couldn't attack the wall, and they were beaten by others, killing more than 20 people and wounding more than a dozen.
"It's not really a bunch of garbage, this can't be attacked, it seems that you still can't have much hope for these guys!
The order goes down, let them stop attacking the wall, the archers send arrows, press the poles on it, you take the logs up, and knock open the broken gate for Lao Tzu.
As long as you knock open the gate of the village, the bandits inside don't want to escape, and when the time comes, after exterminating this group of bandits, I will share a part of the money and food in the cottage for you to pick up at will. ”
Liu Jinbao still has some experience in the end, and knows that with these villagers, if they want to attack the wall, it is estimated that many people will die.
These townsmen obviously could not take on this great responsibility, so Liu Jinbao immediately ordered to change the offensive strategy, and changed the attack on the walled wall to attack the wall.
As long as the gate of the village is opened, after all of them are killed, with the absolute superiority of their numbers, it will not be a problem to destroy this bandit.
At this time, Li Zixiao in the cottage was silently holding his hands behind his back, pursing his lips, with a trace of perseverance and worry in his eyes, standing on the school grounds, listening carefully to the shouts and killings at the mountain gate.
Quartz stood behind him with a nonchalant expression, and also listened to the movement at the mountain gate, and even showed a hint of excitement in Quartz's eyes.
