2 Attack again
(Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe, thank you for your support!! )
Lin Laocai's small amount of money now is much less than that paid to the pole, and it is even more a drop in the bucket compared to his huge family wealth, and everything is important to keep Zhuangzi!
As soon as Lin Laocai said this, the Zhuang Ding of Lin Jiabao became excited one by one, killing a bandit for 500 wen is already a lot of money.
You must know that Lin Laocai is also a bitter and stingy person, these Zhuang Ding only get two taels of silver every month on weekdays, and Lin Laocai is also a scathing and stingy person.
Although these Zhuang Ding are in charge of the food in the Lin family, the food they eat is also average, at most, they can eat half full of coarse grains, and it is basically impossible to eat well.
Now Lin Laocai actually promised to take out the silver to reward the enemy, and also killed pigs to reward them, which made them really excited, and they all hurriedly thanked Lin Laocai, saying that Lin Laocai was benevolent and righteous.
Only Luo Chao squinted at Lin Laocai, with a look of disdain on his face, and scolded secretly: "Old thing, are you scared now?" It's a pity that it's still extremely stingy, and it costs money to kill the goods.
I told you a long time ago that this pole is different, and there was an excellent opportunity to hit the other party just now, but you didn't listen, you missed it in vain, and now you are in a hurry.
It's a pity that if the opportunity is missed, it will never be again, this pole is a rare elite, I really didn't expect to see such an alternative bandit in this poor country.
If this pole is determined to attack the village, it is estimated that Lin Jiabao will not be able to hold it, I can't let me and my wife follow the Lin family to bury together, it seems that my previous layout in advance is correct. ”
Not to mention the panic of the Lin family inside the Lin family at this time, Li Zixiao outside was already on a posture and was about to start attacking Zhuangzi.
This time, he first sent his men to collect enough door panels and bed boards to serve as large shields, and walked in front to shield the bullets of bows and muskets, and provide cover for those behind.
Moreover, Li Zixiao accepted the lesson of Zhou Dazhu yesterday, in order to prevent those wooden shields from being pierced by the projectiles shot by the birds, and improve the defensive power of these big shields.
He had some of the broken bedding he had collected from the tenants' homes wet with water and put it on the shields, which greatly improved the bulletproof ability of the wooden shields.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Eighth Route Army beat the devil's bunker, and used a table wrapped in a wet quilt to carry it towards the devil's bunker, which can effectively play a bulletproof role.
Li Zixiao is now using this local method, as long as it can reduce the casualties of his subordinates, it is a good method.
As for the bedding he robbed from those tenants, Li Zixiao promised them that he would compensate them when they attacked Linjiabao, anyway, they didn't oppose it at this time, so they could only let Li Zixiao and them decide.
After Li Zixiao arranged the covering manpower, at the same time, let those people with muskets and bows and arrows follow closely, and under the cover of the big shield, he released guns and arrows to suppress the firepower of Zhuang Ding on the Zhuang Wall.
Li Zixiao didn't plan to attack Zhuangzi all at once, he planned to take it step by step and take his time.
He first asked Zhou Dazhu to lead the soldiers with swords and shields, holding those large wooden shields covered in wet quilts, to cover those one-eyed dragon subordinates and those tenants.
Let them all carry dirt bags, wood and other things, follow the big shield held by Zhou Dazhu's sword and shield soldiers in front, rush to the side of the trench outside the village, and continue to fill the trench, first to fill the trench.
Although this method is stupid, it is still effective, only by breaking through the trench can they get close to the Zhuangmen, otherwise, they will not be able to pass through this trench alone, let alone lay down the Zhuangzi.
At the moment, Li Zixiao didn't think of a good way, so he could only use this stupid method to fight Lin Jiabao, and after some preparations, the attack began.
After Li Zixiao's order, dozens of men carrying large shields took the lead in battle, holding large shields and advancing towards the trench, while those tenants and one-eyed dragon's subordinates hid behind them.
As soon as the Zhuang Ding saw Li Zixiao and they had already started to act, they were all ready, and there was a noise on the village wall.
As soon as Zhou Dazhu and them entered, within the range of these Zhuang Ding, they immediately began to release their guns and arrows, and beckoned to Zhou Dazhu under the village.
Whoosh...... Bang bang......
As the Zhuang Ding released arrows and shot on the Zhuang wall, the person holding the shield who walked in the front of the Zhuang immediately popped the big shield in his hand.
The musket shot and hit the shields, but they were blocked by the wet quilts on them, and they could not penetrate the shields, let alone the arrows.
The people who hid behind were much safer, and immediately the tenants and the one-eyed dragon's subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, so that the villagers of the Lin Jiabao on the village wall could not stop them from continuing to advance.
The man who raised the shield still stubbornly carried the big shield, advancing forward step by step, covering the people behind him to follow them and continue to advance.
Li Zixiao's actions obviously made the One-Eyed Dragon's subordinates very grateful.
Originally, they thought that Wang Zirui would use them as cannon fodder like the one-eyed dragon did with those tenants yesterday, and let them brave the bullets and arrows of Lin Jiabao Zhuang Ding to fill in the trenches!
Although the villagers on the wall of Linjiabao Village are very hard to release arrows and guns, they are not very threatening to people outside on the whole.
And those Zhuang Ding who use bird guns, after firing two shots, will stop, do not dare to shoot continuously, the two unlucky people who blew up yesterday, but one dead and one wounded, they don't want to end up like that.
Soon, Zhou Dazhu led the sword and shield soldiers holding large shields and was moved to the front of the trench outside the Lin Jiabao Village.
At this moment, suddenly a dozen or so bird-swatters and archers stood up from behind these shields, aimed at the villagers on the wall of Linjiabao, and then shot arrows.
These bird-strickmen and archers knocked over the two villagers on the village wall at once, which made the villagers exclaim, and they hurriedly lay down under the female wall, and suddenly they didn't dare to show their heads.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the one-eyed dragon's men and tenants who were hiding behind the shield rushed out, throwing the dirt bags or wood they were carrying directly into the trench, and then quickly returned behind the shield.
This made these people not even suffer from the attack of the Lin family Zhuang on the village wall, and they were not injured by any of them, which made these people very happy.
"Don't be in a hurry, the bird-bearers reload their ammunition and the archers continue to shoot arrows." Zhou Dazhu said in a deep voice to the archers and bird gunners beside him.
These people are usually seriously untrained, and although they can make this bird thing, they are all very unskilled, and Zhou Dazhu is worried that they will make mistakes because of panic.
In case these guys filled with more gunpowder because of a momentary panic, it would be difficult not to blow up this thing, and when they were so close, it was estimated that they would also be affected, so he hurriedly spoke out to comfort these people and told them not to panic.
With Zhou Dazhu saying this, these people who were filling gunpowder were really much more stable, and at the same time a little moved.
If they had been under the one-eyed dragon before, I'm afraid they would have been beaten and scolded again.
At this time, these former one-eyed dragon subordinates really felt the difference between Li Zixiao and these people, and they really treated them as brothers.
After these people stabilized their minds, they no longer panicked when they loaded, and began to clean and charge in an orderly manner.
With this fire support from the birdmen and archers behind the shields, those who were in charge of filling the trenches were much safer.
Originally, a section of the trench had been filled in yesterday, but it was dug up by the Lin family Zhuang Ding last night, but after all, it was night, and Zhuang Ding was very nervous.
Therefore, the damage to the filled place was not very large, and Zhou Dazhu and the others only covered one trip before filling in the place that was filled in yesterday again.
However, Li Zixiao did not order them to stop, he asked God to make a bigger section, so that it would be more convenient when they attacked.
When the Lin family in the village saw the scene outside, they were even more anxious, and desperately urged those Zhuang Ding to get up and put their guns and arrows away, and increased the amount of rewards, killing a pole and directly rewarding one or two silver.
However, it made the hearts of the Zhuang Ding excited, and they did not hesitate to risk the explosion of the bird's gun and the risk of being shot by the bird's gunners and archers outside, and began to get up and shoot at the outside of the village.
The gunshots of the two sides of Zhuangzi came and went, and the sound was non-stop, and after half an hour, it can be said that the two sides had their own injuries, and relatively speaking, there were more casualties among the people below.
This is also a matter of no choice, who let them be in a disadvantageous position, but overall, this kind of price Li Zixiao is still acceptable.
Seeing that a section of the trench had been filled in and the passage had been opened, Li Zixiao roared, and everyone immediately retreated.
After Li Zixiao counted it, there were less than ten casualties in the trench this time, only three died, and the rest were minor injuries, and they were all handed over to Li Langzhong for treatment, and it is estimated that there is no danger.
The cost of this kind of casualty is indeed completely bearable, and it did not cause any blow to their morale, but it also boosted their morale a little, but the Zhuang Ding in the Lin family's Zhuangzi was also shot and injured two or three, which was considered a draw.
And today, Li Zixiao changed the way these bird-fired soldiers shot, not letting them shoot at will, but after everyone loaded the gunpowder, they fired together for a salvo.
Both sides inside and outside the village were armed with muskets, but yesterday, the musketeers on both sides fought on their own, and whoever wanted to fire fired at all, and the results were not satisfactory.
As soon as the battle started today, Li Zixiao told a few bird-gunners on his side that he wanted them to fire a salvo to suppress the opponent's firepower.
As a result, the effect of the salvo was very good, and the Zhuang Ding was suppressed under the female wall of the walled wall, and two Zhuang Ding were overturned, and after each battle, the bird soldiers basically did not achieve any good results.
This made Li Zixiao know that his idea was not wrong, in his previous life, when he was watching a movie, he had seen that when the modern Western army was fighting, the musketeers were all lined up and fired together!
Collective salvo is the most powerful way for the muskets of this era, because the accuracy of the muskets of this period is too poor, and it can only be compensated for in this way.
If it is a single bird's hand that fires sporadically, it will not work well at all, and it will also waste ammunition in vain.
Soon, it took more than half an hour for these people to finally fill in a passage of nearly five meters in the trench outside Lin Jiabao, which was enough for such a wide passage.
Next, Li Zixiao has to consider how to enter the Lin Family Fort, and the easiest way is nothing more than to break the door of the Lin Family Village and enter from the Zhuang Gate.
And what method can be used to break the door of the village most directly and effectively, Li Zixiao couldn't help but move his eyes to the dark tiger squat cannon not far away, and had an idea in his heart.
"Wei Hong, go and call the father and son who are going to make the tinkering and squatting cannons." Li Zixiao said to Wei Hong next to him.
"Yes."
Soon, Wei Hong came to Li Zixiao with the little old man and his two sons.
"The younger generation doesn't know what to call the old man!" When Li Zixiao saw this old man again, his attitude became very respectful and he said with a smile.
"The little old man's surname is Sun, and his single name is a common character."
"Then the juniors will call you Uncle Sun."
"Don't dare, don't dare, the big boss has tormented the little old man."
"It's okay, you can be my grandfather at your age, and you should call Uncle Sun." Li Zixiao said with a pleasant face.
The old man Sun Tong still insisted on refusing to let Li Zixiao call him that, but in the end, he couldn't resist Li Zixiao, so he had to acquiesce.
"Uncle Sun, I'm going to send someone to attack Linjiabao later, but how to break through the gate of Linjiabao gives me a headache, and in the end I think the only way to open the gate with artillery is the simplest and most effective way.
However, among our people, your father and son will make the tiger squat cannon, I am like asking you old, if I need you to use the tiger squat cannon to blast open the gate of Linjiabao Zhuangmen, how far do you need to advance to the gate of the village? ”
Li Zixiao said what he thought in his heart.
After listening to Li Zixiao's question, Sun Tong fell into a short period of contemplation, then raised his head to look at Li Zixiao, and said: "Big boss, as long as you can send our father and son together with the tiger squat cannon to the village gate thirty steps away, Xiao Lao'er dares to guarantee to open the village gate." ”
Sun Tong's tone of voice was particularly confident.
"Thirty steps?" After Li Zixiao heard this, he also frowned and said in a low voice.
You must know that Li Zixiao has learned from the one-eyed dragon yesterday, so he doesn't dare to send people to rush to the front of Lin Jiabao's village again, who knows how much tung oil the Lin family still has!
Therefore, if you can use the tiger squat cannon to bombard the village gate of Lin Jiabao from a distance, then you can avoid letting his subordinates rush to the village gate and crash into the village gate.
So this is the reason why Li Zixiao found Sun Tong's father and son to come over, but Sun Tong said that thirty steps away is really a bit close.
To protect the three of them, it is not easy to join a tiger squat cannon to safely go thirty steps outside Lin Jiabao, and they will definitely be attacked by Lin Jiabao when the time comes.
Sun Tong frowned when he saw Li Zixiao, and thought that he was not satisfied with the distance he said, but this was really the limit distance he could do.
