Chapter 70 Recidivism Xishan Village
However, Zhao Zhizhou suddenly thought of the different agreement with Liu at the beginning. In addition, these Xishan Village group training seemed to have an unknown origin and were not so good. He had to send people out of the city at night to go to Xishan Village to discuss directly with Liu. He wanted to practice in Xishan Village, which is guarded by the north gate of the county, when necessary. Wait, also help several other gates.
Liu Di is now selling people's heads. He is very happy and in a good mood. The guys at the north gate have nothing to do all day long, but the other city gates are lively. It seems a little embarrassing to look at this, so he discussed with Wu Shengtian and agreed to Zhao Zhizhou's invitation.
However, LiuDi still left some backhands. He agreed that Zhao Zhizhou would invite the Xishan Village Group guarding Beiguan to go to other places to guard it when necessary.
However, the personnel transferred at each time should not exceed half, at most 100 people. It is best to call 50 people at a time. They can't use them as mules. They must get a full rest. In addition, the specific command should be made responsible for Li San's families, and someone should specialize in the enemy who killed them. Points must be rewarded according to records in every battle, rather than having to get back the head.
After listening to this, Zhao Zhizhou could only pinch his nose and recognize it. Who let him ask for help now? Moreover, these Xishan Villages are really powerful. The birds in their hands are really sharp. Whether this Mouping County can be defended really depends on their Xishan Village.
In this way, in the next few days, Li San finally fought a battle. Almost every day, he sent a platoon to other city gates to support the places where the war was fierce.
In this way, the rebels were unlucky. They found that these days, whether they concentrated their troops to attack any city gate, they would cause a crackling shot on the wall, killing and injuring many people, causing their morale to plummet, so that Chen Guangfu did not dare to send people to go there easily. It has disturbed the gates of major cities.
It was not until more than ten days later that another rebel reinforcement of more than 2,000 appeared outside Muping County that the morale of the rebels was boosted again.
After receiving reinforcements, the rebel troops reached more than 3,000. In addition, the militias they recently surrounded nearby, some bandits and riot troops, and some Liaodong people who spontaneously surrendered, made the total strength of the rebels outside Mouping County expand to as many as 6,000 or 7,000.
Of course, the three or 4,000 people who can fight are the main force, and more than 1,000 bandits and soldiers. The other more than 2,000 people, most of whom are forcibly held hostage, can only be used as cannon fodder.
This time, the leader of the army was a close associate of Li Jiucheng, named Zhang Tao, who was also the former former headquarters of the Dongjiang Army. He used to be a general, but now the rebels shake their bodies. This guy actually became a deputy general and was very arrogant for a while.
After he led the troops, he immediately shouted and began to attack the city, but Chen Guangfu was still anxious about the arrow revenge given to him by Xishan Village. At present, their grain is not good. It is best to take Xishan Village, which is relatively weak in defense, obtain a large amount of grain, boost morale, and then attack the strong Mouping County.
After listening to this, Zhang Tao thought that this was also reasonable. Besides, Mouping County is also a strong city with perfect wall defense. It is definitely not easy to attack a village. According to the locals, Xishan Village needs food, women, and Thousands of refugees.
If they first shoot down Xishan Village and capture the enclosure of Yangma Island, in addition to obtaining a large amount of grain, they can also catch many women and enjoy it. At the same time, they can also wrap thousands of refugees and serve them as cannon fodder.
It was obviously a good deal to attack Xishan Village, so Zhang Tao also nodded and agreed, and patted his chest aggressively to promise that this time he personally led the troops to attack Xishan Village and Yangma Island.
After the agreement, the rebels no longer hesitated. Even if the troops were divided into two places, Chen Guangfu continued to sit outside Muping County, while the new Zhang Tao was responsible for leading the army to attack Xishan Village and Yangma Island.
Zhang Tao led more than 1,000 rebels, of which nearly 500 were from the old part of the Dongjiang River, and his combat effectiveness was quite good. In addition, he also brought hundreds of newly organized bandits, pulled more than 700 refugees, and rumbled towards Xishan Village.
As soon as they moved, Xishan Village immediately received the news from the scouts. The sound of police gongs once again resounded over Xishan Village. A team of sea wolf infantry and new township soldiers rushed to the wall under the leadership of the officers.
This time, the enemy came fiercely, with a large number of troops, and the target was not only for Xishan Village, but also to capture the earthen.
So the troops, including those guarding in Tuweizi, have also been mobilized this time.
When the refugees heard that there were thousands of rebels coming to fight their Yangma Island, they suddenly became a little confused, but this chaos did not last long, so they were suppressed by the sea wolf officers sitting here.
A sea wolf officer climbed onto a high platform in the middle of the enclosure and shouted at a copper horn to the refugees in the enclosure: "You all hear it clearly. Whoever dares to make trouble again will be punished by the enemy!" Drag it out and kill it immediately! All the women and children immediately returned to your nest and stayed. Among the men, except for Qing Zhuang, who stayed, according to the originalbian zhi and listened to the instructions, and the rest of the idle people also retreated into the nest. Anyone who did not obey the order, run around in the village and killed without forgiveness!
Loud and noisy! Kill without mercy! There is no mercy for the chaos between the nests! If you try to rebel against the rebels, there will be no mercy! Now, act immediately. After half a column of incense, if anyone doesn't respect the order, kill me! Damn, you guys are nervous! I'm in front of you. As long as I have a living one, I won't let the rebels attack!
Unless I'm dead, you can do whatever you want! As long as I still have a gasp, you will have nothing to do! ......”
When the refugees in the enclosure heard it, they were moved and nervous. What moved was that the villagers in Xishan Village actually said that as long as they were alive, they would not be harmed by the rebels. What was nervous was that they were afraid that the villagers could not withstand the rebels and let the rebels attack the siege.
But now they are protected by the villagers, and naturally they can only listen to the instructions of the villagers, so the chaotic scene was immediately suppressed, and the idle people and others were driven back to their nest, leaving only the three selected in advance. More than 100 young and strong men, as auxiliary soldiers of the second echelon, transported ammunition, bows and arrows, provided hot water, rescued the wounded and other things in the enclosure. At the same time, they were also responsible for controlling the refugees in the whole enclosure and monitoring them so that they could not move.
It didn't take long for about 3,000 rebels to arrive outside Xishan Village under the leadership of Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao grabbed his horse's reins and looked at Xishan Village and the surrounding horse island on the ice hundreds of meters away, with arrogance and disdain on his face.
After looking at Xishan Village and Tuweizi, Zhang Tao did not find any special places, but the village wall and the Tuweizi's soil wall seemed to be a little strange in structure. It was not a straight wall, but curved and prominent, and there were places that were sunken. He did not see that it was built like this. What are the benefits of the wall, let alone why.
But he still listened to Mr. Qian and introduced the situation here. It is said that Xiang Yong here has a very sharp bird gun in his hand, which is not easy to deal with.
After listening to the introduction of Mr. Qian, surnamed Wan, he made some preparations and asked people to get a batch of door panels, beds, or Eight Immortal tables and so on from the nearby villages, and gave them to the leading bandits and soldiers. In addition, he also asked a large number of people who were kidnapped to prepare a mess. Cloth bags, wooden boards and firewood bundles and other things, and the cloth bags are full of ice and snow on the ground.
In this weather, the earth can't be dug. The ice and snow are put into the cloth bag. After filling, it can also be used as sand to fill the trenches outside the village. The role of firewood bundles is the same. In addition to preventing arrows from bullets, it can also fill the trenches and open the way to attack the wall.
In addition, before he came, he prepared dozens of ladders for his soldiers to use. After crossing the ditch, he put the ladder on the wall and attacked the village.
It can be said that he thinks that his preparation has been done quite fully. As long as he does it, Xishan Village is a matter for him.
In addition, he also prepared the same big killer in order to take down Xishan Village and Tuweizi this time, that is, this time he brought 50 gunners from Dengzhou City, plus a 1,500 catty Hongyi cannon. At this time, he also pulled one. In his eyes, even the city could not stand the Hongyi bombardment. Don't Speaking of the small Xishan Village, as long as you shoot casually, the people in Xishan Village will definitely be scared to pee.
So when he came here this time, he was full of confidence and determined to get it, just waiting to enjoy the beautiful women who got from it after capturing Xishan Village.
In the past, when they followed Mao Shuai in Dongjiang Town, they lived a miserable life. Later, Mao Shuai was killed by Yuan Chonghuan. They were dissatisfied. In addition, the internal division of Dongjiang Town, the soldiers were fighting around all day long, attacking and killing again, and never returned to the previous unity. There is no hope in Dongjiang Town. There was no place to gain a foothold, so I had to escape back to Shandong.
But after arriving here, those Shandong people picked their noses and eyes, which were all kinds of trouble for them. They didn't like to see them all and wanted to kill them all. Although Sun Yuanhua treated them well, it was just that, and did not let them enjoy too much. Material, and although Sun Yuanhua's royal subordinates are not very strict, after all, they dare not make up easily here.
