Chapter 79 Turn to the Siege

When the rebels retreated, Wu Shengtian immediately sent village soldiers, slid down the wall with ropes, cleaned up the bodies of the rebels, cut off the heads on the hardened bodies of the rebels with a big axe, pulled up the wall with a large basket, and hung them on the wall, hanging two or three hundred heads. From afar, it made people feel cold. And the feeling of chestnut.

At the end of this day, the newly organized villagers in Xishan Village also contributed a lot. They also knew what fate they would face once the rebels invaded the village, so under the encouragement of the officers, they also fought fiercely and fought with the rebels. Seeing the rebels withdraw their troops, there were cheers in Xishan Village. Sound.

Wu Shengtian immediately began to check today's losses. After the fierce battle, Xishan Village also paid some costs, with a total of more than 30 casualties, but not many people died. Only a dozen, mostly were killed and injured by the rebels with firearms and bows and arrows, but there were also two villagers, because they were poured in the court. When boiling water and throwing stones, his feet slipped and fell off the wall and was killed by the rebels.

However, the situation of the injured is not optimistic, because they are mostly upper body injuries, mainly concentrated on the chest and face. Once injured, they are generally seriously injured. On this cold day, although there is a medical officer and three ambulances here, it may not be possible to save them.

In order to mobilize morale, Wu Shengtian ordered the medical officers and rescuers to do their best to rescue the wounded, and ordered people to prepare some coffins in the village, collect the bodies of the fallen villagers or soldiers, set up a mourning hall to worship with Liu Di, and let the soldiers and even the village. The people all went to worship.

Seeing that the dead can receive such courtesy and the injured can be treated so well, the soldiers and villagers in the village, even the villagers, the old and weak women and children are very moved and determined to fight to the end.

And they also saw that these family members brought by Liu Yuanwai, as well as these unknown families brought by Wu Shengtian, are all good men, tough men who can fight and kill, and there are many good things on hand. The rebels' deadly attack today, but so many people were killed, even on the edge of the wall. I didn't touch it, which is unbelievable. This also makes the people in the village have enough confidence and feel that as long as these people are here, no matter how many rebels come, they will not be afraid.

So after a fierce battle in the whole Xishan Village, morale can be said to have reached its peak.

Wu Shengtian also sent someone to report the victory of the Tuweizi on Yangma Island and reported the situation to the personnel stationed on the Tuweizi side. Liu Di saw that Wu Shengtian had done a good job here and did not need his help. Considering that the Tuweizi side needed a person to sit in the town, he discussed with Wu Shengtian and rushed to Tuwei overnight. Zi, go to the other side of Tuweizi.

Zhang Tao was very depressed. After thinking about it all night, he discussed it with his men. The next day, he gave up attacking Xishan Village, led his troops around Xishan Village, began to set foot on the frozen sea, and attacked the other side of the earth enclosure, intending to capture the earth enclosure. It is estimated that there are also a lot of food and women, and there may even be A lot of goods.

It's okay if you can't beat Xishan Village. As long as you can capture the earthen, it is still a success. As long as you get enough food, then the next thing will be easy.

So on the third day, Zhang Tao led the rebels and began to launch an attack on the earthen.

However, their starting point is very unfavorable, because Tuweizi and Xishan Village are across the sea, and the rebels must step on the ice behind Xishan Village and launch an attack on Tuweizi.

Wu Shengtian saw that the rebels were going to walk on the ice to fight the enclosure of Ma Island, so he ordered Dai Fang to take the cannons to the back wall and fire at the rebels gathered by the seaside from behind. Although the distance is a little far away, the number of rebels is large, and the shells do not pursue too high accuracy, as long as they hit the enemy group. Among them, it is enough to kill and injur a large number of rebels.

The two cannons caught fire together, and several rounds of shelling killed many rebels. Peter Zhang Tao had to lead the troops and move towards the distance until he ran beyond the range of the cannon, sent troops from farther away to the ice and attack the earth encirclement.

But is it easy to fight around the earth? Obviously, this is not the case. Although the wall of the Tuweizizhai wall is not high, the company commander of the naval forces stationed here in the past two days is not idle, including several subordinates of Liu, who command a large number of refugees here to get water or boil water every day and water on the Tuweizi.

This season is the coldest time. Even if boiling water is poured on the ground, it will freeze into ice in a while. The wall of the whole earth enclosure is frozen bare. It is estimated that even ants can't climb up, and the wall has been thickened by ice, which is almost indestructible.

In addition, a large amount of water was poured on the ground outside the wall and soon became ice, completely slippery. In this case, it is not easy to climb a not-high earthencircle.

Moreover, two 12-pound guns have also been placed on the side of the earthen, which are stationed by a dissatisfied naval company and more than half of the infantry companies. The strength is no less than the defenders in Xishan Village, and there are a large number of refugees to call. There are more newly formed villagers, more than 1,000 people, guarding the earthen and coming to them. It's not a difficult thing to say.

Moreover, Liu is well-known in the Tuweizi and is very popular among these refugees. After he came to Tuweizi, the morale of the refugees and rural soldiers here is even higher. After hearing about the situation of the First World War in Xishan Village yesterday, he is even more confident.

Although these villagers can't go out to fight with the rebels, there is still no big problem guarding the village, and the township soldiers are equipped with long guns. Even if the iron gunhead is not enough, they also find some hardwood. After sharpening, they bake it on the fire to make it harder, dip it in water and freeze it. , it is still very sharp, and there is no problem to stabb people to death.

When the rebels came to attack, the sea wolf soldiers took the lead and shot with various long and short rifles. The marine company was not as well equipped as the army, and they also used shorter naval rifles, and the number of rifles was small, mostly some smoothbore guns, but it was still good to fight the rebels on the unobstructed ice.

As long as the rebels enter dozens of steps outside the enclosure and hold short-bettered southern Japanese rifles, they immediately shot them randomly and turned them over on the ice.

And in order to prevent bullets, the rebels temporarily tied some snow ploughs, piled up some firewood bundles, and pushed them towards the earth enclosure to launch an attack to resist the bullets from the earth enclosure. Although it has some effect, it is not guaranteed to cover all the rebel generals, and they are still killed. It hurt a lot of people.

However, the earthen has its limitations, because the earthen is relatively low, only one and a half high. The rebels don't even need a ladder. People can climb up the earthen by stepping on people's shoulders. In addition, there are no deep trenches outside the earthen as a fortification, so after the rebels were fierce, they successfully attacked under the earthen. .

Once they entered the underside, the sea wolf soldiers could give full play to their firepower, leaning out and firing down. The rebels had nothing but shields, and were killed by random shots in an instant.

Seeing a large number of rebels rushing under the earthen and began to build a wall to climb towards the earthen, the sea wolf soldiers immediately put on bayonets. The seamen suffered a little. Their short-bend naval rifles, whether long or short, are generally not worthy of bayonets, but they all have single knives or axes. At this time, they are still ready. I put some long guns, so I simply replaced them with long guns.

The earthen is very wide. A large number of villagers and refugees, as well as sea wolf soldiers, stood on the earthen, each holding a long gun in their hands. They did not use the rolling wood and stone tactics to directly go to the long gun array to resist the rebel attack.

The rebels looked at that it was relatively easy to climb up the earth enclosure. Although they were not slippery and often threw them hard enough, they still shouted excitedly when they could climb up the earth enclosure. You scrambled for me under the reward, trying to climb up the earthen, to the damn Xishan village soldiers and refugees above. Slaughter and avenge these two days.

But what these rebels didn't expect was that they finally stepped on the shoulders of their accomplices and climbed to the earthen. As soon as their heads were exposed, a snowy gun tip flashed in front of them.

A clump of long guns, at the moment when the rebels appeared, under the roar of the officers, they were stabbed forward by those villagers and refugees together.

The assassination techniques of these villagers and refugees may not be very good. Sometimes they want to stab their necks and may stab them, but they can't stand it. The dense long guns are stabbed out together, making those rising rebels unstoppable. A large number of people have just climbed up the enclosure and exposed their upper body. They were shot a few in front of them. Even if he was pierced and howled with blood, he fell down the enclosure.

However, the rebels gathered under the earthen, but they could not see what was happening on it. Except for the rebels watching the battle from afar who could see what was happening on the earthen, these rebels who approached the earthen did not know what was going on above, so the people in front of them climbed up and were stabbed to death, behind The rebels still continued to step on people's shoulders and climb up. The edge of the earthen was covered with ice, and they did not keep their hands. They could only desperately clasp the edge of the earthen and climb up hard.

But when they used their strength to breastfeed and finally showed their heads, their faces were stabbed in their faces by long guns. Some people were directly pierced through their necks, while others were pierced through their chests, one by one like dumplings, and their bodies fell off the earthen.
