Chapter 272: Camp Break

272 battalion broken

(Today's chapter is presented, please subscribe to support, please brothers, I'm about to eat soil!! )

The thousand households of this Gaoyou Guard Station are named Ma Dahu, and there are more than 700 guards under his command.

At this time, he gave an order, and these people quietly touched the camp of the tiger camp.

"These guys are really tired of not even being guarded."

Ma Dahu looked at the dark city and said with disdain.

They also thought that Li Zixiao had not discovered their arrival and was preparing to attack the Tiger Camp.

In order not to make any movement, Lu Yuantong ordered them to take off their iron armor.

The two soldiers immediately stepped forward, took off the mountain pattern armor on Ma Dahu's body, and replaced him with a rhinoceros leather armor.

And he hung a bow and a bow on him, and in it was a good bow, and two bags of arrows, one bag of light arrows, and one heavy arrow

Finally, the soldier handed him a waist knife.

Ma Dahu's task is to act as a vanguard, raid into the tiger camp and open the way for the people behind.

But he despised the White Dragon Army in the camp very much, and his mood was even very relaxed, without the slightest pre-war tension.

He has followed his father and uncle to fight for many years, and he can sit in this position, but it is all shot by their family.

Many of the guards under him were impersonated by his generals and family members.

After all, there are too many vacancies under him, and if he doesn't pretend to be those family members and generals, if the gap in the number of soldiers is too big, it will be difficult to explain if Lu Yuantong finds out.

But the generals under him were all soldiers he brought out with his own hands before, all of them were elites, and they had all seen blood.

Even he originally felt that there was no need to spend so much effort to engage in some kind of roundabout, feint attack and the like.

Directly by him and these seven hundred brothers to raid at night, he can take this camp and slaughter all the rebellions in it.

Ma Dahu has never fought with the White Dragon Army, and I heard that Li Zixiao and these people were still mountain bandits half a year ago, and later accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and then went down the mountain to become officers and soldiers.

In his impression, these mountain bandits were simply a rabble, and in Ma Dahu's eyes, the seven hundred brothers under his command could completely defeat ten times the number of mountain bandits.

His guards also began to take off their iron armor and iron rope armor and replace them with cowhide armor.

The rest of the ordinary soldiers were not qualified to equip iron armor at all, and only wore shabby leather armor, and some simply wore cloth clothes.

Ma Dahu's team is very good at raiding, and they have captured many mountain bandit camps in the past.

In the face of such a simple camp built in the wild, you can directly climb in and sneak attack, and you can take it in one fell swoop.

Ma Dahu pulled out his long knife, looked at the sharp blade, smiled, and said in a low voice: "Brothers, rush in, kill the rebels, and divide the silver." ”

"Kill the rebel thief and divide the money." Several pro-soldiers behind him grinned and smiled excitedly.

Ma Dahu's men were all armed with broadswords, spears, spears and other weapons, and they were not very interested in what firearms they had.

In the past, they have also captured a lot of firearms, but that thing will blow up as soon as it is used, or it will not sound, and it is too dangerous to use that thing.

This also made Ma Dahu and his men scoff at those firearms, believing that only the large blade in their hands was the most reliable.

After changing into light clothes, Ma Dahu took his subordinates and quietly touched the bottom of the camp.

Quietly put the long ladder on the long trench, and the officers and soldiers behind were bent on the waist, carrying the ladder, stepping on the ladder on the trench, crossing the long trench, and successfully reached the bottom of the wooden village almost four meters high.

The camp of the Tiger Camp was all built by cutting down trees from a nearby wood, and the walls were all wooden.

This is also the most conventional camp that needs to be built in the field garrison in the military regulations of the White Dragon Army.

Although the wooden and earth-made structures are not as good as those earth-and-stone walls, the defensive ability should not be underestimated, and this kind of walled wall can even resist the bombardment of small trebuchets, which is very strong.

These people are experienced, cooperate tacitly when they act, and do not make the slightest noise.

In tonight's battle, Ma Dahu, as always, naturally chose to be the vanguard himself, rather than staying behind and watching the battle.

His trademark white robe and silver armor had long since been replaced by a leather armor covered with a black burqa.

He carried a long knife on his back, and two knives, one long and one short, stuck in his waist.

He was the first to climb the ladder and climbed swiftly towards the wall. One of his own soldiers followed him a few steps apart, the ladder rattling only slightly.

"General, the enemy is coming." Tie Dan stood beside Li Zixiao and reported.

"Well, give the order to go down and prepare for battle." Li Zixiao sneered.

With Li Zixiao's order, the herald raised three lanterns in the back, and in an instant, countless torches lit up in the camp, completely illuminating the entire camp.

Whoosh ......

Arrows rained down, and many officers and soldiers gathered outside the wall were hit by arrows one after another, letting out bursts of miserable howls.

Bang bang bang......

Then, their nightmare had just begun, and their casualties increased dramatically as the birds opened fire on the wall.

At such a close distance, it is almost difficult to shoot with bows and arrows and birds.

The officers and soldiers who were shot by bows and arrows were better, as long as they did not hit the vital point, they could not die, and the pain was lighter.

However, those guard officers and soldiers who were hit by the projectile were really worse than dead at this time, and at such a close distance, the new bird gun of the White Dragon Army could even penetrate the iron armor.

As long as they are hit by a projectile, there is no immortality, even if it hits the enemy's arm or thigh, they can be directly amputated, causing excessive blood loss and death.

"Rush, hurry up."

At this time, Ma Dahu knew that his sneak attack had been discovered, but they had already rushed under the wall, and they were only a stone's throw away from the enemy on the wall, and he didn't want to waste his efforts.

The archers and bird bearers of the White Dragon Army on the wall of the wall, looking at the crowded and dense hundreds of enemies, had smiles on their faces.

They weren't nervous at all, and there was no easier fight, it was easier than raking in training.

"Brethren, put on grenades and give them a taste." Li Tianba suddenly shouted loudly.

"Good!"

The soldiers of the Tiger Camp on the wall let out a cry of excitement.

They quickly brought a large wooden box from the back, and when they opened it, they revealed balls about the size of a bowl, wrapped in cardboard shells.

This is the new weapon they brought this time, the grenade, the name is still Li Zixiao.

One by one, the fuses protruded from the grenades, which were lit by the soldiers with torches, and when the fuses burned to a third of the ground, they were thrown out of the wall.

Then, the white dragon soldiers on the walled wall all covered their ears and squatted down and hid behind the wall.

"What is this?"

The soldiers of the Gaoyou Guard under the wall, when they saw the things thrown down on the wall, they thought it was a stone at first, and they avoided it one after another.

Boom Boom Boom ......

After a few breaths, a deafening explosion sounded under the wall, accompanied by a terrible scream, which made people tremble when they heard it.

This kind of grenade is the new thunder thunder transformed by Wu Yao, which replaces the stone shell on the outside of the previous thunder with this hard paper shell.

This greatly reduces the weight of the grenade, allowing the soldier to carry more at once, although such a new grenade is less powerful than the stone thunder.

But it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to use quantity to avoid the drawbacks of weakened power.

This time, when Li Tianba's Tiger Camp came, he specially brought two large boxes of hundreds of such grenades, and this time it happened to be used.

This kind of paper mine is mixed with all kinds of iron nails, gravel and other things. Iron nails and gravel that shoot out will cause serious damage to the enemy.

As the first round of more than 30 grenades was thrown out and exploded, a large number of guards officers and soldiers who were screaming from their wounds fell under the wall.

"Shoot, fire"

After the explosion, the archers and bird gunners on the walled wall stood up again, and Li Tianba gave the order to attack.

After a bang, the smoke filled the air, and a large number of thieves fell below.

"Raise your shield, raise your shield."

Although Ma Dahu kept shouting to raise his shield, it didn't have much effect, and these guard soldiers were already stunned at this time, and they almost fell into chaos.

Originally, the officers and men under his command did not focus on frontal formations, but were better at avoiding the real and fighting on the fly.

Under this wall, they could not touch a single hair of the enemy, and besides, they did not have many shields equipped.

In the screams of despair, after one bell after another, the sky above Beicheng was filled with a heavy smell of whistle smoke and a strong smell of blood.

The two smells are mixed together, and it is extremely unpleasant and even disgusting.

Under the wall, there are corpses all over the place, overlapping and overlapping.

Seven hundred soldiers of the Gaoyou Guard paid the price with their lives for his underestimation of the enemy and carelessness.

To the south of the Huben camp.

Qianhu from the two guards of Taizhou and Yizhen, Wei Shan and Huo Zong, were all listening attentively, and the constant explosion in the north of the camp made him excited.

They knew that this should be Ma Dahu's action, but listening to the voice, it seemed that the sneak attack was unsuccessful.

But it doesn't matter, he didn't want Ma Dahu to succeed in his sneak attack, otherwise he wouldn't have been robbed of his head work this time.

"Listening to the voice, this group of rebels seems to have a lot of firearms in their hands, and the thunderbolt in the north is crackling." Wei Shan said.

"It doesn't matter, those bird guns won't need to be used in a few strokes, and they will explode, just so that these rebellions can be used on Ma Dahu.

Later, when the barrel of their gun is hot, or the chamber is blown up, it will not be able to be used against us, this time the two of us will join forces, and we will definitely take the lead in attacking this camp and seize the first power to destroy the rebels this time. ”

Huo Zong sharpened his knife Huo Huo, he couldn't help it for a long time, and said excitedly.

"Okay, it's our turn, get on." Wei Shan waved his sword and ordered.

"Let's go." Huo Zong also ordered to his subordinates behind him.

"Take this camp, grab the money, and there will be a great reward." Wei Shan announced again.

Looking at Wei Shan, Huo Zong rushed up impatiently with more than 1,000 people and horses from the two guards, and Tian Qing, who was from Yangzhou on the side, was not in a hurry to launch an attack at this time.

"These reckless people, I really think that Li Zixiao is easy to deal with, let you fight for a while, and then I'll bring someone later, see if you can get cheap, and if you can't, you can withdraw."

Tian Qing had seen Li Zixiao and his soldiers outside Yangzhou City, and it can be said that he had always been skeptical about whether tonight's operation could succeed.

It's a pity that due to the order personally issued by the governor of Zhili, his small Yangzhou garrison did not dare to disobey, so he had to bring troops out.

But this guy is not stupid, he knows the truth of shooting the first bird, he will try to delay it until the end at this time, and before Lu Yuantong sends someone to urge him, he does not plan to lead the troops to rush up.

"Report, there is a large force of enemies to the south."

At this time, after Li Zixiao received the report from the soldiers, he had already rushed to the south wall to meet the enemy.

The Tiger Battalion belonged to the infantry battalion, and the most of the battalion were pikemen and sword and shield soldiers, as for the cavalry, bird gunners and archers, they were just routinely equipped with some, and there were not many of them at all.

Don't look at the bustle of the fight in the north, in fact, Li Zixiao put two hundred people there, of which there are about eighty archers and bird guns, and the rest are sword and shield soldiers led by Li Tianba.

Therefore, in the face of the attack of more than 700 officers and soldiers of the Gao Post Guard Station outside, don't look at the lively ping-pong fight they had at the beginning, in fact, they did not cause too many casualties to the enemy.

Up to now, there are no more than 200 officers and soldiers of the Gaoyou Guard Station who have been killed and wounded, which is why Ma Dahu has been able to hold out and has not ordered a retreat.

At this time, Li Zixiao personally brought the soldiers in the south, all of whom were sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, which made their defense inconvenient.

"Hey, it's a pity that the firepower battalion was not brought, otherwise they would have come with a few thousand more people, and these people would not want to get closer to the wall." Li Zixiao said with a sigh.

"Quartz, according to the plan we have formulated in advance, prepare to meet the enemy." Li Zixiao turned his head and said to Quartz.

"Understood, General." Quartz turned away.

"Kill!"

The shouting and killing outside is getting closer and closer, these people have just made a batch of ladders temporarily, anyway, the tiger camp camp is not high, and the ladders made are not too long, and they are not very troublesome.

To the surprise of Wei Shan and Huo Zong, after they kept rushing through the trench outside, none of the enemies on the wall fired arrows at them.

Soon, the officers and soldiers of the two guards were already stepping on the trench, and more than a dozen wooden ladders crossed the ditch, gathered under the wall, and began to step on the ladders and climb up.

But when the guards were about to climb the wall, long spears poked down from the wall, poking a bloody hole in the enemy's body, and then fell down screaming.

The tragic offensive and defensive battle unfolded, and Li Zixiao relied on the three hundred soldiers in his hand, relying on this not too strong wooden and earth wall, to resist the swarm of as many as 1,500 guards and soldiers outside.

He also reserved a hundred reserves, and he couldn't press all the troops in his hands at this time.

In the night, the soft moonlight was scattered, and this mountainous place was stained red with blood at this time, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the night.

After nearly half an hour of attack, there were finally guards and soldiers rushing up to the wall, and even Wei Shan organized a group of soldiers to find the weak position of the wall and bumble into a gap.

The camp of the Tiger Ben camp was broken, which was also in Li Zixiao's expectations.

When Li Tianba and the others built this camp, it was just because they wanted to be stationed here for a period of time, and they carried out the construction of this camp according to the marching and garrisoning standards formulated by Li Zixiao.

But they never thought that they would rely on this camp to fight such a tragic offensive and defensive battle.

Therefore, when it was built, the wall was not built solidly, and it was impossible to withstand the continuous impact of hundreds of people holding wooden stakes.

Bang......

With a loud bang, a huge gap of three or four meters was smashed into a wall, and the guards outside shouted and poured in.
