Chapter 182 Attack Dingxi Field 1
The neat people walked to Dingxi Salt Farm. This time, I did not choose a sneak attack, because after the Baiju salt field was attacked, Dingxi salt field must have been aware of it. Moreover, Zhang Yang needs a great victory, a victory to take down Dingxi field proudly. This victory can more encourage the surrounding salt people and villagers. This battle will spread throughout Dingxi. The whole Gaoyou, the whole Jiangnan land.
Gaoyou's rebellious fire of the tartar needs to be ignited by this victory.
After fighting this battle, there will be no more war in Xinghua in the near future!
Walking in the front were more than 200 cavalrymen, each of whom was shouldering the sky. They looked at the Dingxi Salt Farm in the distance, showing a longing expression.
Behind that, there were two battalions of infantry, each of whom resisted the spear. The tip of the spear reflected a dazzling light in the sun. A thousand spears were enough to stab Dingxi Salt Farm.
The soldiers and horses came along the way, and the people all knew that this army was organized by the Gangsi of the White Horse Salt Farm. They seized the White Horse Salt Farm and swore in the Arctic Hall that they were about to take the Dingxi Salt Farm. They wanted to overthrow the rule of the Tatars and restore the rivers and mountains of the Han people.
The people did not dare to follow too close. They watched from afar, hoping that this army could overthrow the mountain above their heads. They also had a desire in their hearts, hoping that they could join it.
Compared with the people outside, the people in the salt farm are not in this mood.
Harbala suddenly had a sense of happiness. In the salt farm, he could still occupy the land, especially with a strong wall. However, if he went outside and really fought with these people, it was hard to say who would die. Looking from afar, the dust is full of the shadows of the enemy. The first thing that comes to my eyes is the cavalry. It is actually a cavalry, a group of exiles. How can there be cavalry? Halbala was very surprised. Looking back, there are endless infantry. Countless spears are just like a forest. How can they have so many weapons? How is this possible?
"Come on, gather people and get ready to fight!" Halbala said to the guards below.
"Wow, wow." The horn sounded, and the soldiers guarding the salt field immediately gathered quickly.
"What's going on?" Zhou Dezheng came to the front of the sentry post. He didn't have the courage to climb the high sentry, so he couldn't see the situation in front of him.
"The drifters are coming. Our salt farm is about to be attacked." Halbala said...? What? Si Cheng, who followed, Guan Gou, immediately turned pale. They came so fast that the Baiju Salt Farm was only beaten down for a few days, so they came here to trouble themselves?
Liu Sheng climbed the ladder and climbed a few times. He saw the team outside and was also shocked. With so many people, can the salt field be guarded?
Hearing the horn, the salt people who were cooking salt also raised their heads. Among them, an amazing news had spread: Zhang Shicheng of the Baiju salt farm has taken down the Baiju salt farm. All the salt people have left the household registration of the salt people. Now when they see this movement of the salt farm, will it be Zhang Shicheng? Already here?
They looked at each other, but their eyes were intriguing. The opportunity to turn over was coming soon. These salted and guards who usually bullied themselves, it was time for them to get retribution.
"Hurry up, everyone, go to the edge of the wall, find it close, and shoot arrows immediately!" Halbala said.
Inside the wall, there is also half of the inner wall. Standing on it, you can lean out half of your body, which is the height where you can pull the bow and shoot arrows. Although the other party has spear soldiers, due to the obstruction of the trench, the spear cannot pose a threat to the archers. Moreover, Halbala carefully observed that there are no archers in the opponent's team!
The spearman can be trained quickly, and the archer is different. A qualified archer can't shoot a hundred times in less than two years. It is also related to his own talent. After all, the other party is a mob, and it is not enough to rely on the spearman alone. The cavalry in front of him is useless. Even if the cavalry can rush close, he can't rush to the trench in front of the wall. As long as the suspension bridge is guarded, the other party will not be allowed to take advantage of it.
His confidence began to be satisfied again. In his two hundred-person team, half of the archers, half of the swords, and a hundred archers were enough to guard the wall. If the enemy approached, he would shoot back with arrows. What's the use of these spearmen? Before he rushed to his eyes, he had to die under his own arrows.
A hundred steps away from the wall is their Shura field! Halbala is convinced of this.
"Hurry up, go to the wall, kill a promiscuous person, and reward a tael of silver." Halbala said.
He looked back at the commander. As the highest person in charge of the salt farm, he was sweating profusely at this time. The cold wind in late autumn blew, and he didn't feel a trace of coolness.
"Commander, what's wrong? Do you want to come to the front line to command in person? Halbala asked.
"This, no, I'd better cheer for the soldiers in the back." Zhou Dezheng said while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Harbala looked at him contemptuously, and then looked at the people behind him, "Liu Sheng, don't run, let your salt guard the middle gate and suspension bridge."
"Yes." Liu Sheng had retreated to the back, but he still didn't escape. He didn't dare not go, otherwise, this guy would cut himself up with a knife.
The archers have put on arrows, and the swords have pulled out their knives. A battle and defense battle for Dingxi Salt Farm is about to begin. They just wait for the other party to enter the effective range of 150 steps and begin to shoot arrows. The dense rain of arrows will be a wonderful way to attack the other party.
Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps. Seeing that the cavalry in front of them was about to enter their own range, the situation had changed.
"Stop moving forward!" Zhang Yang shouted.
"Dit off the horse!" All the cavalry came down from the horse.
Horses are not enough, so the spearmen are still infantry, but the fireman has been able to ensure that each person has a horse, and he can't maneuver quickly. It's okay to be a mounted infantryman.
When fighting, you have to get off the horse and shoot in front of the horse, which is the focus of future training. For the time being, it is still an ordinary infantry.
The spear soldiers behind also stopped.
"Brother, let our second battalion charge first!" Tang He rushed up from the back of the line and said. I promise that we will take down the other party with one charge.
"Go back first and stand by. When I need you, I will naturally call you." Zhang Yang said.
Tang He is eager to fight, but the battle is definitely not this way of play. The spear soldier is the last force to use. Now, the main task is to destroy the other party from a long distance.
"Hey, listen to the salt people opposite, we are the team from Baiju Salt Farm to rescue you. Your suffering has come to an end! Don't be afraid, pay attention to protect yourself..." Several loud soldiers have shouted according to the original plan.
The strategy to attack the enemy is to attack the heart. The guard power of the other party is far less than that of the salt people working inside. If the salt people inside also launch and deal with each other, they will take Dingxi at the least cost.
"Sure enough, it's from the white hemp field. We have hope!" The salt people began to whisper.
"Don't talk, work!" Yan Ding picked up the whip.
Harbala looked at the enemy shouting in the distance and was very upset: "Shoot him to death!"
"Report, those people are all out of range."
The place where the other party stands is 300 steps away. At this distance, there is nothing we can do about any powerful bows and arrows.
Harbala was helpless, and his eyes were full of anger. He really wanted to open the door, put down the suspension bridge, and fight with the other party. However, there were too many people on the other side. He estimated that there were thousands of people just spearmen. There were only two hundred-man teams under his own, and there were not many war horses. They were all transferred away and could only passive defense. Guard.
"Firemen, the scattered line is lined up, and the fire is blocked by fire to the wall and various lookouts!" Zhang Yang began to issue a battle order, "The first battalion and the second battalion are on standby."
This time, only ten firemen and a team of spearmen were left in the salt field to protect Li Shanchang, who was staying in the salt field, and continued to recruit people.
After waiting for two days, there was finally another battle to fight. The firemen looked at the tars on the front wall and prepared to shoot arrows, as if they were just looking at the targets one by one. They quickly scattered to both sides, took the Tianque from their backs while running, flexibly held them on their hands, and shot in a kneeling posture.
Soon, the two scattered lines were arranged, and the mouth of the black hole pointed to the tar archers at the top of the city.
If you have seen the power of Tianque, the wisest choice for the tars on the head of the city is to quickly lower their heads and hide behind the wall. However, most of those who have seen this kind of weapon have gone to another world. Ignorance is pitiful.
Harbala looked curiously at the other party scattered and surrounded him from afar. He didn't know what he was holding in his hand. He was still a little confused when the spearman behind him was still.
The standard step of attack is to take advantage of the advantage of a large number of people and rush up quickly. Then, shoot arrows and try your best to kill the other party and offset the advantage of the number of the other party. Next, the other party rushes to the front, trying to climb up the wall, connect with your own soldiers, and engage in hand-to-hand combat, either to repel the enemy, or, your own two A hundred-man team died here and was captured by them.
Now, the other party stopped marching from afar. They neither charged nor left. They said they wanted to surround themselves, but they couldn't be closely surrounded. There were so many voids in the middle. What do they want to do?
Harbala is not worried about the siege of the other party. In the past few days, the news that the salt field has been attacked by the chaos has spread to Gaoyou Prefecture. Gaoyou Prefecture will definitely send people to support. It is greatly beneficial for these chaos to kill time here.
Suddenly, "Ban, bang." A huge sound came, and Halbala looked up and saw the scattered soldiers in the distance. A black smoke came out of everyone's side, as if it were a demon from hell.
What is this? Is it a fire? He has never seen a fire gun. Only the noble soldiers in most of the capital are equipped with this kind of thing. Moreover, even if it is a fire gun, it doesn't have such a long range, right? Do you want to attack yourself 300 steps away? It's ridiculous!
"Ah, ah..." The people around him kept screaming. He turned his head and was already in horror.
