An atmosphere of despair began to spread inside the Liujiapu fence. Liu Wentao, who is also shrewd and capable on weekdays, was caught. The housekeeper at the head of the wall never noticed when someone was actually hiding under the sand. They just saw that the attackers were completely knocked down and dragged away along with Liu Wentao. Immediately, someone rushed to report to Liu Baye, and the rest of the people stood on the wall and just smacked their tongues, unable to come up with a way at all.

Chen Ke wrote in the "Siege Attack Manual", "Nesting in the fence for a long time can easily make people have the illusion that the fence is their own world, and the inside of the fence is a safe environment. The direct consequence of this delusion is that the harder they are hit, the less they dare to go out of the fence. Once the enemy is struck, it is necessary to immediately and continuously exert pressure to achieve the goal of blocking the enemy as much as possible. ”

If the enemy inside the enclosure continued to adopt the tactics of attacking by different routes, or even escaping from multiple routes, it would certainly be impossible for the insurance regiment to completely stop it. Someone will definitely escape, and even very important people will escape. The insurance group has just arrived in Wushui County, and its foothold is not stable. If it is really the county yamen who took the lead in carrying out an encirclement and suppression of the insurance group, although the victory or defeat is not to be said, the trouble in the middle will definitely be unavoidable. The strategy finally decided by the water detachment was to completely eliminate the stubborn forces of Liujiapu. They are not allowed to escape.

Based on such a strategic concept, after annihilating Liu Wentao's subordinates, the victims were immediately organized and driven back to the front of Liujiapu. Before the victims arrived, the gate of the fence had been tightly closed, for fear that the victims would take the opportunity to rush in. There is only one north gate in the fence of Liujiapu, and it is even more difficult for the victims to go there.

The sky was getting dark, completely different from the silence of the first few days, the insurance regiment and the victims opened a posture, six or seven hundred victims and five hundred soldiers of the insurance regiment, more than a thousand people completely surrounded the fence. In the past few days, a lot of dead plants have been cut down, and fires have been lit in the east, north, and west, except for the south where the explosives are to be planted. The victims took shifts, shouting from outside the range of the Waizi muskets. Or suddenly the fire was extinguished, and the brave victims ran near the enemy's fence with some planks, pretending to attack the city.

After this night's trouble, the waizi is not at peace. Everyone in the enclosure knew that something was wrong, but there was nothing they could do. The people sent out during the day were dealt with in an instant, and at night, the victims lit bonfires outside that lasted almost all night. If you go out rashly, you will only become a target under the reflection of the campfire. Everyone still has this common sense. As for why these bandits harassed all night, it was naturally a traditional tactic.

The reason is easy to understand, but the problem is that it is very difficult to practice. In the past, the tactics of exhausting soldiers were generally noisy. The sound may be loud, but when it really reaches the fence, it can no longer be heard clearly. As long as your ears are blocked, you can really eat and sleep.

But this time, the people outside the enclosure were very different, and they didn't know where they came from, but they were collectively shouting when they spoke, and their voices were extremely neat. In the night, it was directly and clearly transmitted from the outside to the inside. Whether it is the family at the head of the wall or the people inside the fence, they can hear it clearly.

The content of these people's shouts is nothing more than three, the first of which is to urge Liu Jiapu to surrender. Outside, the guys who claimed to be the People's Party's insurance group claimed that if the members of Liujiapu were willing to surrender voluntarily, they would ensure the safety of the people of Liujiapu. This kind of thing is a cliché that has been said countless times, and the bandits have said so when they come, and the government has said so when they come. Unlike the government and bandits, the BJP Insurance Corps does not have any threatening part. The kind of cruel words that if you don't take the initiative to surrender, you won't leave chickens and dogs, they didn't say a word.

The second is that when the insurance group attacked Liujiapu, I hope everyone will not resist. The insurance group assured everyone that even if they captured Liu's shop, they would not * the private property of the people. The purpose of attacking Liujiapu was to live so that the local people could survive the disaster year. Instead of the insurance group itself profiting by robbing the people.

The insurance regiment assured the people that as long as they hid in their homes and did not come out, or knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender during the battle. can save a life. The insurance group will definitely not settle accounts after the fall.

If it was an ordinary bandit shouting battle, the people might just listen to it as a joke. The problem is that dozens of people shouted together neatly, although it was not a particularly novel word, but this extremely disciplined way seemed to have a natural persuasive power. Many people listened carefully to the contents of these words.

The third article is even more unbelievable, the insurance group guarantees that if the people of Liujiapu fight to the end with the insurance group, as long as they are not killed on the spot, the insurance group will give treatment. However, the Insurance Corps warned them that the Regiment's preferential treatment of prisoners was for prisoners who gave up resistance. If you are not honest when you are a prisoner, the insurance regiment has to take strong measures to deal with it.

These words were sorted out by Li Zhao based on Chen Ke's documents, and the core purpose was nothing more than one thing, to tell the people of Liujiapu that as long as they were willing to surrender, they could live. The insurance regiment gave preferential treatment to the captives. Although when informing the people of Liujiapu, the insurance group was also secretly planting explosives. But that's not to say that the insurance group is deceiving the people. When attacking Yue Zhangji, the insurance group and the Zhang family had a quarrel to that extent, and Chen Ke did not eradicate the roots of the Zhang family in the end. It's just to imprison them. No matter what kind of guy the other party is, giving preferential treatment to a captive is giving preferential treatment to a captive. Now that the other party has succumbed, as a victor, you should have such a tolerant mind.

This time, the victims beat more than 20 family members to death, and a private meeting was held in the insurance group to convey discipline. Although it did not directly criticize this practice, the insurance regiment repeatedly stressed that under the condition of ensuring the safety of the fighters themselves, it is absolutely not allowed to abuse prisoners, let alone torture and kill prisoners.

This tossed and turned until about three o'clock in the morning, and the attacking team of the insurance regiment began to rest. In the plan, the attack was officially launched at half past six in the morning. The words that should be shouted were shouted, and the explosives that should have been buried were also buried. After this night's tossing, the people in the enclosure were also sleepy, and in the early morning, they were dazed, and they encountered less resistance when they entered in one fell swoop.

On the other side, Liu Baye can be regarded as able to deal with it, although his younger brother's whereabouts are unknown, it is estimated that he is more than lucky. But he personally went into battle, commanding the family and the people in the enclosure to guard it to the death. Although I don't know how the guys who claim to be the People's Party insurance group are going to get in. But from this posture, the insurance regiment is definitely not a long-term siege posture, but is ready to lay down the siege in one fell swoop.

At six o'clock in the morning, it was already slightly bright. The families and the people who had not slept well all night were sore from the harsh morning sun. Quite a few even shed tears. After a night of tossing, everyone felt tired and hungry. In the year of the disaster, everyone basically eats a thin meal a day, and eats a half-dry meal. And it is not eaten in the morning. On weekdays, I can sleep all night, but my body can still hold up. But after a busy night, my stomach was already rumbling with hunger. But Liu Baye forgot about breakfast, and everyone in the enclosure stayed on the wall hungry, not knowing whether to sneak down to eat, or continue to stay on the wall to see if there would be food.

At this moment, with a sound that had never been heard before, smoke suddenly billowed under the south wall, and masonry flew wildly. The whole enclosure trembled like a galloping horse. Many people who did not stand firm fell directly from the wall, even if they reacted quickly and were able to hold something in time, those who did not fall from the wall did not feel much better. An indescribable feeling of nausea, dizziness, tinnitus suddenly appeared. That's the physiological response caused by the shock wave reaching the body. The body is good enough to resist a little, and many of the body directly triggers vomiting. But everyone's stomach is empty, and there is nothing to vomit if they want to. I can only retch vigorously on the ground or on the wall.

It was at this time that the insurance regiment's charge horn sounded. The warriors, who had already laid an ambush, shouted and rushed to the gap in the south wall.

At least so far, everything has gone as planned. When the gap in the black hole in the south wall appeared, Zhang Yu already knew that it was unlikely that the battle would fail. From now on, there is only a certain level of success.

But Zhang Yu felt a little disappointed, because it was impossible for him to personally lead the team into the enclosure like Chen Ke. When attacking Yue Zhangji, Chen Ke personally led the charge of the team, and those cadres and soldiers were extremely impressed when they mentioned Chen Ke's heroic posture and calm and skillful combat command. Zhang Yu obviously didn't have such an opportunity. As the current supreme commander, comrades from different units are responsible for both the main attack and the feint attack. Zhang Yu had no room to meddle at all.

Although Zhang Yu was a little disappointed that he could not personally lead the charge in person, the gunfight that ensued after the troops rushed into the enclosure from the gap made Zhang Yu feel inexplicably happy. However, Pu Guanshui, as the commander of the commando, had already led the troops to kill it. The gunshots became more and more dense, and after listening to it for a while, Zhang Yu felt that he heard some doorways. The crisp gunfire was relatively close, and it went from near to far. I think it was the gunfire of the insurance group. And the low and heavy gunfire was always in the distance, and it should be the fire guns set by the family in the fence.

As they were judging, the scouts who had rushed up to the southern wall had already unfurled their flags. As the commander of the water detachment, Zhang Yu himself was proficient in the flag language, and after only looking at it for a moment, Zhang Yu shouted happily, "The enemy has begun to collapse." ”

Indeed, the enemy has begun to crumble. The enemies on the south wall bore the brunt of the explosion, and most of them were directly shaken off the wall, and some were even directly killed. The guys who fell from a height of several meters fell to the ground, and even if they did not fall to their deaths, they lost half their lives. The families on the wall are the main force in the fence, and there are not many families on the south wall, but they are all more elite. This was unexpectedly wiped out, and the entire south of the enclosure immediately became a military vacuum.

The fighters of the insurance regiment fought all the way in, but they did not meet any resistance. Pu Guanshui personally commanded the assault team, and if he followed Pu Guanshui's habits, he would definitely let the troops constantly suppress the wall with a platoon of guns, and then slowly move forward.

However, Chen's tactical regulations do have completely different proposals.

"No matter how small the caliber of the weapon, no matter how small the number of weapons, always support the infantry offensive with firepower."

"Whoever fires first and can fire the hardest fire will win."

These two sentences left a deep impression on Puguanshui. In Chen Ke's manual, it is recommended that as long as there are conditions, use heavy fire to destroy the enemy on the wall and the commanding height, seize the commanding height, and then condescendingly control and divide the enemy. Win in the end.

This was how Puguanshui was carried out, and under the cover of the rifle team, the bullets were fired at the enemy at a high place at maximum speed. The troops plunged straight into the courtyard wall to the north and did not stop at all. The main forces of the enemy were gathered there, most of the muskets and elites were gathered there. As long as the enemy to the north can be resolved, the resistance inside the enclosure can basically be declared over.

Just a concentrated fire, the enemy was immediately disorganized. In fact, the shooting level of the soldiers of the insurance regiment was not very good, and more than 30 fighters with Hanyang-made were divided into two teams to shoot in turns, and after two rounds of shooting, only seven or eight enemies were defeated. Most of the bullets just hit the wall senselessly, and then make all sorts of potentially terrifying sounds.

Pu Guanshui saw that the shooting effect was not good, and immediately according to Chen Ke's guiding regulations, "shoot as close as possible." He led the warriors towards the north. As long as you can get close to the enemy, the shooting accuracy can definitely be greatly improved.

Although the enemy does not have such military regulations to guide them, they also understand these simple truths. The round of guns just now made the people on the wall tremble, and some of them lay on the ground and did not dare to show their heads. I saw the blue-clad soldiers rushing towards the road, completely exposed inside the enclosure. The family members then fired a fire at the blue-clad men. This kind of battle is actually quite dedicated. The only problem is that this approach is really irrational, and it is just a knee-jerk imitation of the guns that those soldiers have just lined up.

Because the warriors are still far out of the range of the firearms.

When Pu Guanshui and the soldiers rushed to the range of Jiading's firearms, Jiading was still busy filling gunpowder. The soldiers who can carry Hanyang are all carefully selected by Chen Ke. As soon as the distance is closer, the shooting accuracy of these people is greatly improved. The platoon of guns set off bursts of blood in the house at the head of the wall. The enemy did not manage to hold out for long, and then collapsed.

But all plans have their uncontrollable side, and the course of the battle has been carried out according to the expectations of the insurance regiment so far, but it didn't take long for the battle to show its other side.
