Chapter 80 retreat gloomy
It didn't take long for the body to fall to the ground on one side of the earth, and blood gushed out with hot air, but it was soon frozen and turned into a piece of blood ice.
Including the body, it was also frozen on the ground. From the perspective, it was a red color, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke and blood, which made people sick.
Zhang Tao felt a little want to cry. He never thought that this time he wanted to pick a soft persimmon and let Chen Guangfu see his ability. After going back, he could get a general officer, even if he was a deputy general, but he didn't expect that this time he ran excitedly and kicked a super hard iron plate. Up.
He suffered heavy losses and had no way to fight Xishan Village, but now he came to fight the earth encirclement, but the result was still the same. A batch of rebels were filled in by him, but they were soon slaughtered by others. After more than half a fierce battle, he killed hundreds of his men. This time, those rebels did not do so much. Cheating.
When they become rebels, they want to get rich, want to enjoy, and want to play with women, not to die. According to Zhang Tao's toss like this, in a few days, they will have to be played to death by Zhang Tao.
So when Zhang Tao ordered again to fill in a man and horse, he found that his order was not working well. The ordered rebels actually disobeyed their orders. They persuaded Zhang Tao that he could not fight like this any longer. If he couldn't beat Xishan Village, just didn't fight. In addition, he could find a place to pick soft persimmons.
They can't be killed here and finally filled in here. In that case, they won't do anything.
Zhang Tao was so angry that he immediately wanted to kill several people. He stood up and forced them to send troops to attack the siege. However, he was about to let his own soldiers kill people. The rebels were also angry, raised their weapons in their hands, and made a look of death anyway. I fought today and did not die in vain.
Zhang Tao glanced at the rebel generals around him and saw that these people were looking at him with bad eyes, so he was shocked. Then he quickly withdrew his order and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
After withdrawing their camp again, Zhang Tao discussed with his traitors all night and finally had to admit defeat. This Xishan Village is not easy to deal with. They really can't defeat it. This time, the loss is already too great. If they continue to fight, there will be no good results. Therefore, although Zhang Tao is reluctant, he still only You have to choose to withdraw from Mouping County and cooperate with Chen Guangfu to attack the county first, so as to take down Mouping County.
On the morning of the fourth day, the rebels withdrew from the camp dejectedly and retreated towards Muping County. When the people in Xishan Village and Tuweizi heard the news, they couldn't help but revel again.
Wu Shengtian and Liu did not lead the army to pursue the rebels. This kind of thing is not within their scope. As long as the rebels do not come to fight Xishan Village and Tuweizi, they are too lazy to take care of the rebels. Of course, Mouping County is also within their defense range at this time. After all, there is nearly a brother in the county. .
After the rebels retreated, LiuDi quickly sent someone to collect the bodies of the rebels, including some of the dead refugees. He was not kind and wanted to bury the bodies of the rebels, but sent people to behead them quickly.
These heads are all white money in his eyes. More than ten days ago, the heads of the two hundred rebels they killed have long been booked by officials or military generals. After the news spread secretly, there were many surrounding officials a few days ago. He sent people to contact the generals and tried to order some rebel heads.
This time, the rebels came to attack Xishan Village and Tuweizi. In four days, nearly a thousand people were killed. This head is not in short supply. Now the price is almost 30 taels of silver and 1,000 heads, but it is 30,000 taels of white money. If you don't get it now, you won't have this store if you pass the village.
So looking at the mountain of rebel heads, Liu was not happy to grin. He didn't feel that these heads were horrible and ferocious at all, but they felt quite pleasing. It won't be long before these heads will be sold out again. This is a profitable good deal!
Looking at Liu Di's secretly happy face, Wu Shengtian asked him coldly, "Are you thinking about it now if the rebels can come again?"
Liu was looking at those heads, drooling and did not react. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes!"
Wu Shengtian's forehead was suddenly full of black lines, and he almost kicked the greedy guy away and scolded, "You are beautiful, and you are not afraid of being pushed to death!"
Liu Di realized that he had leaked his mouth. He quickly pulled Wu Shengtian with a dry smile and went to have a good drink in private to relax.
At the successful end of the battle in Xishan Village, Mouping County was also caught in a bitter battle. After Zhang Tao brought reinforcements and two Hongyi cannons, Chen Guangfu and Zhang Tao divided his labor. Chen Guangfu led some rebels to continue to attack Muping County, and Zhang Tao led troops to attack Xishan Village.
After Zhang Tao left, Chen Guangfu also began to lead his army to attack Mouping County. He first sent troops to various gates to test it again, but he still found that the north gate was the most difficult to deal with. There was a group of defenders at the north gate, of unknown origin, with many sharp birds. One of his men, this time, led 800 troops to test. Attacking the closing box of the north gate.
But he retreated in a short time. The main general who was sent to lead the troops was actually outside the gate of Beiguan, nearly 300 steps away. Inexplicably, he was hit in the forehead by a bullet that I don't know where he came from. Even if he burst his brain and died On the spot.
After hearing this, Chen Guangfu didn't believe it, and then was shocked. Combined with Mr. Qian, who was almost destroyed by the whole army outside Xishan Village, he remembered that it was true that this matter could not be done well. There is really such a kind of rhinoceros in the world that can take people's lives 300 steps away. Although it is incredible, this matter may not be true through these two things.
And many of the defeated rebels have confirmed that this is absolutely true. Not only was the traitor killed at such a distance, but also many people were killed and injured by inexplicable flying bullets at this distance, absolutely not to lie.
Chen Guangfu was even more careful this time and directly marked the distance within 300 steps from the city wall as his restricted area. In the future, he could not carelessly break into this distance. Otherwise, he would be killed by such an inexplicable bullet. .
As for the closing box of the North Gate, Chen Guangfu was not so remanent. Knowing that it was difficult to deal with, he had to send people to fight. Since the North Gate was not easy to fight, he had to hit other gates, so he gave up continuing to attack the North Gate, but sent people to block the North Gate from afar, and he himself was after so many days of trials. After that, he decided to personally lead the army to attack the south gate.
The south gate of Muping County. A few years ago, the nearby Xin'an River once flooded, which soaked the south gate for a long time, resulting in many damage to the southern wall. Although some repairs have been made afterwards, the foundation has always been damaged, and some local walls have cracked, so the southern wall is the most For the weak place.
Therefore, after careful observation, he finally chose the southern wall as a breakthrough, concentrated his forces, and began to attack the south gate area.
At the same time, he pulled the two bronze cannons pulled with the army, as well as a Hongyi cannon brought by Zhang Tao this time, to the south gate, set them up outside the city, and began to bombard the damaged section of the wall in the south.
In two days, the area around the South Gate was fiercely attacked by the rebels. Although the defenders in Mouping County also resisted to a certain extent, the defense was always in a state of collapse.
The damaged wall in the south has also been under fierce shelling by the rebels for two consecutive days. Two large fires and a red-yi cannon repeatedly shelled this section of the city wall, and the city bricks flew randomly. Soon the outer city bricks were stripped of the internal rammed structure by the cannon and collapsed with a crash. Go down.
The interior of this wall has been flooded and produced cracks. The main structure is unstable. In addition, the perennial freezing and summer rain erosion make the wall structure much weaker than that of other places.
After two consecutive days of fierce shelling by the rebels, they also crossed the moat and put more than 200 catties of gunpowder at the foot of the city wall. After detonating, the city wall was blown up, which was about to collapse.
At this time, a clever little official came up with a way and asked Zhao Zhizhou to mobilize manpower to draw a large amount of water from all the wells in the city. After heating it, he kept transporting it up the wall overnight and poured it down along the wall. Overnight, the wall was frozen and solid.
This temporarily stabilized this crumbling wall, and the angry Chen Guangfu also jumped and scolded. In winter, it can be said that it was very unfavorable for the attacking side. The weather became their natural enemy, causing the defenders to make full use of such a cold climate to deal with the attacking side.
Although this method of watering and freezing to stabilize the city wall is good for the time being, everyone knows that this method can only be persisted until the beginning of spring.
Once the weather gets warm and the ice and snow begin to melt, the damaged city wall will definitely be completely broken after this watering and freezing. Once the ice and snow melt, this wall will definitely no longer be able to persist and will collapse immediately.
But there is no way at present. Although we know that it will cause the wall to collapse after spring, if we don't use this method at this time, then Mouping County will definitely not be able to defend it.
