97 Darkness grows
(Today's first update is presented, Xiaoyun's new book is not easy, please collect and recommend, thank you for your support!! )
In this way, with the first time, he gradually became familiar with the road, and Zhou Dazhu still held a shield to cover these tenants, making the action of filling the trench much smoother.
However, every time it is filled, a few tenants will die, and at this time, Lin Tianhe on the wall of Linjiabao Village saw that the trench outside the village was filled little by little, and he was immediately angry.
"Damn, these damn mud legs actually help these bandits' accomplices, in the future, you mud legs will never think about planting our Lin family's land again, and starve you mud legs to death when the time comes."
Lin Tianhe was anxious to turn around on the village wall, but he had no way to deal with the situation outside the village, so he could only curse these tenants vigorously.
"Hahaha, okay, yes, that's it." Seeing the effect, the one-eyed dragon laughed happily and said.
At this time, Li Zixiao strode up to the one-eyed dragon and said to him: "The dragon is really resourceful, and now the people in Lin Jiabao should be in a hurry."
However, if this continues, the casualties of the tenants will be too great, and I am afraid that before they can fill the trenches, these people will die, so why not let your archers and firecrackers follow and suppress the Zhuang Ding above, so that the effect will be better. ”
"Well, what Li Dangjia said is reasonable, just do it, come on, arrange archers and bird guns to shoot at Lao Tzu, push our cannons over, and bomb the damn! Hahaha. ”
The one-eyed dragon was in a good mood at this time, so after listening to Li Zixiao's words, he felt that it made sense, so he immediately agreed.
"Liu Chong, you also take our two archers to help, do your part,." Li Zixiao also turned his head to Liu Chong and said.
After Liu Chong heard this, he clenched his fists and picked up the longbow in his hand, hurriedly beckoned the other two archers, and also rushed down the mountain, hiding behind Zhou Dazhu who was holding a big shield, and shot his bow and arrow towards the wall of Linjiabao Village.
One by one, the tenants ran to the side of the trench, threw what they were carrying into the trench, and then turned around and fled back.
Three hundred men threw things into the trench together, and the number was not to be underestimated, and soon the tenants who had left their things ran back.
The one-eyed dragon then shouted: "Don't stop for Lao Tzu, carry my things for me, and continue to rush forward, who the fuck dares to be lazy, Lao Tzu still chops you and your children." ”
A group of one-eyed dragon's men immediately followed behind, whipping the returning tenants with sticks, forcing them to continue carrying their things and rushing forward, and the tenants, even if they were not happy, had to give in and continue to risk their lives to carry their stuff on their backs to fill the trench.
Whoosh ...... Bang Bang Bang ......
At this time, the archers and bird soldiers arranged by the one-eyed dragon also moved under the wall of Linjiabao Village under the cover of those shield soldiers, and fired at the wall of Linjiabao Village.
"Ahhh......h
The sudden blow shocked the Zhuang Ding on the wall of the Lin Jiabao Village, and they had not received the long-range fire attack from these bandits outside the village, forgetting that people could also shoot at them.
After this wave of lessons, the villagers on the wall of Linjiabao Village no longer dared to shoot arrows outside the village without any scruples, which greatly reduced the casualty rate of the tenants outside.
Rumble......
At this time, a loud noise suddenly came out, it was the tiger squat cannon that fired, a cannonball hit the wall of Linjiabao Village, smashed a small team of village wall battlements, and two unlucky Zhuang Ding died on the spot.
However, this time the tiger squat cannon used solid shells, the lethality was limited, but it only played a deterrent role, after the one-eyed dragon ordered a shot, the use of the tiger squat cannon was no longer allowed, who let the cannonballs not many, that was he used to blast open the door of Linjiabao Zhuang.
However, even if this cannon did not cause many casualties to Lin Jiabao, it frightened the villagers, and they forgot to fire arrows and guns for a while, so that the tenants outside the village safely threw several handfuls of dirt bags, etc., and filled in the trench a lot.
As a result, the Lin family Zhuang Ding on the village wall suddenly turned their eyes to the archers and bird gunners sent by the one-eyed dragon, and after panicking, they shot at them one after another, which greatly reduced the pressure on Li Zixiao's men.
It's just that, even so, Li Zixiao's subordinates are not comfortable, they are very passive now, they can only carry these big planks in front, and the Zhuang Ding on the wall of Lin Jiabao Village throws arrows and guns at them from time to time, making the wooden shields in their hands tremble.
It's okay to say that the arrows are not penetrating enough, and after being nailed to the plank, they are all left on the plank, but at such a close distance, the fire guns of those villagers are a greater threat to them.
At a distance of about thirty paces, the muskets of this era already possessed considerable power, not to mention that the wooden planks were not too thick, and the lead bullets hit the door panels, which could often punch holes in the door panels at once.
Some of the bullets pierced the door and hit the people who were hiding behind, knocking some of them to the ground.
Although Zhou Dazhu had already estimated that they were at a safe distance after all, and took five or six steps back, many projectiles could penetrate the wooden shield, but there were exceptions to everything.
Some Zhuang Ding added a little more gunpowder to the bird, so that the penetration of the projectile became stronger, and it could penetrate the wooden board, while others were because the wooden shield was a little thin, and it was pierced by the projectile, injuring Li Zixiao's men behind.
Not long after, several of Li Zixiao's subordinates were shot and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
Looking at the casualties paid by his subordinates, Li Zixiao was in pain to death, which made Liu Chong feel that he sent sword and shield soldiers to rescue those injured subordinates.
Fortunately, after rescuing those wounded soldiers, they found that because the wooden plank in front of them blocked most of the force of the projectiles, even if these projectiles hit their bodies, they could not penetrate the human body, but were only stuck in the shallow flesh, and the projectiles could be easily removed.
Originally, Li Zixiao was anxious when he saw that his subordinates were constantly injured, and wanted to go up with the shield in person, but was stopped by Wei Hong and Qian Guangyuan.
When Li Zixiao's head calmed down, he also felt a little impulsive, as the saying goes: If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he can't have an accident, otherwise their cottage will probably disperse, and his subordinates will never allow him to risk his life.
At this time, Zhou Dazhu also received it at this time, Li Zixiao rescued the injured subordinates, and if possible, he would also save the injured tenants together.
So, Zhou Dazhu held a shield, rushed to the front in person, took over a subordinate who was injured to the end, and carried the door panel he was lifting.
Then he turned to the tenants who had run to the front of the trench and threw down their things, and shouted, "Don't be in a hurry to run back, and carry down Lao Tzu's brothers and these fellow villagers in your hands."
Damn, you know to run, Lao Tzu's people block arrows for you, if you don't listen to Lao Tzu,; Lao Tzu will let me go down, and I will see what you will do when the time comes?
The dragon is not as merciful as our leader, and when the time comes, you will still have to fill in the trenches with dirt, and more people will die. ”
These tenants are not stupid, they have long seen that these are two groups of bandits, and these two groups of bandits obviously have different attitudes towards them, and it can be seen that Li Zixiao's gang is more sympathetic to them than the one-eyed dragon's gang of poles.
And they were really blocking arrows and guns for their own people, so although they were scared to death, after hearing Zhou Dazhu's words, they still came over a few people, either lifting or carrying them on their backs, and carried the injured Li Zixiao's men and some tenants on their backs.
At this time, on the other side, the archers and bird soldiers of the one-eyed dragon who were focused on the wall of the village of Linjiabao were attacked by the fierce blows of the villagers on the wall of the village, and the casualties were not small.
After taking a count, he found that in such a short period of time, he had killed 8 archers, 4 bird-soldiers, and 7 people were injured and lost their combat strength, which made the one-eyed dragon feel a fire in his heart.
On Li Zixiao's side, only 6 people were slightly injured, and the projectile had been taken out by Li Lang, who came with him, and there was no major problem.
It's okay not to compare, but the psychology of the one-eyed dragon suddenly became unbalanced, and he thought angrily in his heart: Why do your people have fewer casualties than Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu has done all the hard work, and you still want to take 4 percent of the money and food at that time, go to you/?/.
However, at this time, the one-eyed dragon's anger had only just appeared, and it could still be hidden in his heart, and he did not show it, but he was already dissatisfied with Li Zixiao in his heart, and the seeds of hatred were planted.
At this time, after Zhou Dazhu forced those tenants to carry down some injured tenants, Li Zixiao ordered Li Langzhong to treat these tenants and treat their wounds, which immediately made these injured tenants grateful to Li Zixiao, and even other tenants who were not injured also admired Li Zixiao.
After all, they still have to go up to fill the trench, and if they can't say that they will be injured and carried down in the next place, of course they will also want to be treated by Lang Zhong, and of course they will show respect and gratitude to Li Zixiao at this time.
Seeing the grateful appearance of those tenants kowtowing to Li Zixiao one by one, the one-eyed dragon became even more angry in his heart, and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, let Lao Tzu do all the things that offend people, this guy took the opportunity to buy people's hearts and embarrass Lao Tzu with pure heart!" ”
Li Zixiao didn't know that his unintentional act of saving people had offended the one-eyed dragon, and the temporary partnership of the two bandits had a weak foundation of trust, and now such a trivial matter has already made the one-eyed dragon hate.
It is estimated that the breakdown of the relationship between the two of them will not be far away, and it is estimated that before Lin Jiabao can be broken, the two of them will have to take the lead in turning against each other, and then there will be excitement to watch.
After repeatedly rushing up to fill the trench and then covering the tenants to withdraw, after the tenants had paid considerable casualties, the tenants managed to fill in a narrow passage in the trench.
At this time, at least thirty corpses of tenants fell beside the trench, both by bow and arrow and by birds, and blood flowed everywhere, and the air was filled with smoke and the smell of blood.
