Chapter 53 Lost in the First Battle

"How sure can you be in playing Fanjiabao this time?" Xiao Tianjian asked Yan Chongxi.

Yan Chongxi looked at Fan Jiabao while eating. After swallowing a piece of meat, he put down two small wooden sticks used as chopsticks, wiped his mouth and replied to Xiao Tianjian, "It's not easy to fight! This castle is built very firmly. Although it is not big, it is very unfavorable for those who attack them! If it depends on our manpower alone, I can't guarantee that I will persuade the palm plate to go back!

We only have two bows, and we can't suppress the bows and fire knives of the Zhuangzi. Even if it is a hard attack, I'm afraid that many brothers will be killed and injured! Don't think about the east and the north. If you rush to the west, you should be a target, and you can only fight from the south.

Fortunately, I met Wang Tianlong's group this time. Otherwise, we really have nothing to do with this Fan Jiabao! Wang Tianlong has more bird guns and a tiger squat gun than us, which is simpler! However, looking at the bears of his men, I guess it's terrible.

I'm sure I can't beat it today. Wang Tianlong is expected to solve the trouble of suspension bridges and trenches first! I'd like to see what this one can do!"

Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "That's right. If it's us alone, it's definitely not easy to fight Fanjiabao!" We haven't done this before. Brothers are inexperienced!

Let's do this! Let's see how Wang Tianlong arranges it later. The long gunners will definitely not be used for the time being. You iron-headed knives and shields, please help them attack and see the situation first. The rest of the people will listen to my instructions later!"

While talking, Wang Tianlong's men came to ask Xiao Tianjian to discuss things.

Xiao Tianjian put down the empty bowl, stood up and followed him to Wang Tianlong.

Wang Tianlong was muttering about what to arrange for his leaders. When he saw Xiao Tianjian coming, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao is just right. Let's discuss how to fight later!"

Xiao Tianjian nodded to Wang Tianlong's men and said hello, and then hugged his fist and said, "It's all to listen to Wang's orders, but it's just that this village is not easy to fight!" I'm afraid I can't use my long gunners for the time being! But as long as the Wang family can solve the problem of the suspension bridge, brother, I am willing to take people to pour it in. There is no need for the Wang family to worry!"

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, Wang Tianlong was still quite satisfied. Although he saw that Xiao Tianjian's men were more powerful than the people on his side, Xiao Tianjian's men did not have muskets and artillery. Even there were only two archers, most of them were long shooters, so his attacking ability was definitely not as good as him, so this statement, It's also pertinent. He doesn't expect to let Xiao Tianjian's spearman go up and die directly. Unless Xiao Tianjian is a fool, he will never agree.

"Good! Refreshing! In that case, then I'll talk to you, brother! Xiao Dangjia, please adjust your knife and shield to me! The rest of the people don't need it for the time being, so they help, dismantle more door panels, cut down a tree by the way, and carry it as a hammer! I'll check here first. If the suspension bridge is taken down, then the brothers in charge of Lao Xiao will attack the door!" Wang Tianlong said carelessly

Xiao Tianjian nodded and agreed. So far, Wang Tianlong has performed generously. There is nothing wrong with the cooperation between the two sides. Naturally, he can agree to this requirement, otherwise he will be too stingy.

After Wang Tianlong made another arrangement, he greeted people and prepared to do it. Xiao Tianjian also went back to call the iron head and asked him and those swords and shield hands to listen to Wang Tianlong's instructions first, including Shi Ran and other horse riders. He also greeted him and handed it over to Wang Tianlong's dispatch.

Then the two groups merged together and surrounded Fanjiabao, and the atmosphere of Fanjiabao suddenly became tense.

The Zhuangding on the Zhuang wall also ran around on the Zhuang wall one after another and ran to their own positions. It was seen that the posture had gone through some exercises. Although it was a little messy, it was at least stable. Someone immediately set up a large board on the Zhuang wall to cover the bows and arrows that may be fired outside the village. Or a fire bullet, ready to resist the attack.

Wang Tianlong is obviously quite experienced. After shouting, he stabilized his men and shouted something like drinking and eating meat in a big bowl. It was also a pre-war mobilization to cheer these men.

After his shout, the morale of these men who followed him was really mobilized. In this troubled world, didn't they just want to eat and wear warm clothes? I'm afraid of death when I come here, so I have to follow it.

So more than 200 people stood outside the village and raised the guys in their hands one after another and shouted. Not to mention, so many people howled like wolves. It was really a little like a thousand troops and horses, which made the birds in the nearby mountains and forests fly up one after another and flew far away in horror.

"Brothers, ride the horse first, then come out with the rope hook, and get down the suspension bridge first!" Wang Tianlong shouted at his men who were holding horses, including Shi Ran and others under Xiao Tianjian.

Shi Ran and others did not prepare any rope hooks. Instead, Wang Tianlong's cavalry hung a plate of rope next to the saddle, and a trident iron hook was tied to the front end. It seemed that this thing was more like a guy used to climb the wall, but I didn't know why they used it to ride horses.

Xiao Tianjian was indeed not familiar with this way of attacking the fortress, so he stopped aside and watched what Wang Tianlong was going to do.

After hearing this, these cavalrymen flew on their horses one by one and took off the rope hook from the saddle. At the same time, these people looked at Shi Ran and others who did not prepare the rope hook with slight contempt. Someone shouted to them, "Don't be stupid! Follow us and help us later!"

Shi Ran and other people such as Xiao Tianjian nodded. They were not familiar with this way of playing, so they could only follow up and see what they needed to help.

The cavalry leader of Wang Tianlong put his fingers in his mouth and made a sharp whistle. These rods on horsemen struggled to clamp the horse's abdomen, lowered their bodies at the same time, put their bodies as close to the horse's neck as possible, and then rushed to Zhuangmen together.

These people obviously had good riding skills one by one, and the level of controlling the war horse was not bad. After rushing out, they quickly rushed to the flat land outside the village, and began to swun the rope hook on the horse's back one by one, and then lined up and rushed to Zhuangmen.

Xiao Tianjian looked at the movements of these people nervously. At this time, he somewhat understood what they were going to do. He sighed in his heart. It seemed that there were indeed many ways to do this. His entry time was still too short. In many things, he couldn't get along with these old poles at all. Compared with us.

It turns out that the way for Wang Tianlong's men to deal with the suspension bridge is very simple, that is, to take advantage of the speed of the cavalry, rush outside the Zhuangmen as soon as possible, use the rope hook in their hands, throw out the rope of the suspension bridge, and then tie the rope to the saddle and concentrate the strength of all the horses to drag the suspension bridge. If it goes well, it is very Maybe it will pull down the suspension bridge in one fell swoop, so that it will be much easier to attack Zhuangzi.

This time Wang Tianlong launched an attack, he also had this idea. He wanted to solve the trouble of the suspension bridge as soon as possible and break through this trench, so that the people under the steps can rush over the suspension bridge to attack Zhuangmen. In general, as long as the defense is inexperienced and the long-range weapons are lacking, it should be quite useful. Effective.

As soon as the pole of the horse riding was launched, everyone outside the village became excited and shouted to cheer up the horsemen, hoping that they would succeed in one fell swoop, including Xiao Tianjian's men. Because among the people who rushed over now, there were also their brothers, so everyone still hoped that they could get Hand.

But it didn't seem to be as simple as Wang Tianlong thought. As soon as their cavalry started, Zhuang Ding on the wall also began to move. From the upright boards of the wall, more than a dozen bows were immediately stretched out, and a few black iron bars were poked out.

Obviously, the people in the village were also guarding against the poles and were ready to resist. As soon as these horse-riding poles approached the trench, the zhuangding people on the village wall shot arrows together, and a few thick smokes spewed out from the village wall, and then they heard a few bangs.

Several riders in front of them immediately screamed a few times. Two or three people rolled over and fell on the open space outside Zhuangzi. They couldn't see whether they were hit by an arrow or a musket. As soon as the person in front of them fell, they immediately disrupted the formation of the people behind them, and the people who came later were not allowed. If you don't take the horse quickly and avoid the people and horses who fell in front of you, it was originally a strong formation, but suddenly it became chaotic.

Although they still rushed in the direction of Zhuangmen, the defending side immediately concentrated their fire to Zhuangmen, and the arrows were fired together, forcing the riders not to accurately throw the rope hook in their hands at all.

Even if these horse riders are bold people, they can't say that they don't want to die. They lower their bodies desperately one by one to reduce the chance of being shot as much as possible. In this way, even if they control the war horse and get close to the suspension bridge, they can't throw the rope hook in their hands far away. One by one, the rods of the horsemen rush over the hanging. In front of the bridge, rope hooks were thrown one after another, but only one or two rope hooks were hung on the thick rope of the suspension bridge, and the rest either fell into the trench or hung on the edge of the suspension bridge, which did not work at all.

In an instant, another horseman was shot by Zhuang Ding of Fanjiabao and fell to the ground with a scream. After landing, he couldn't control the inertial impulse. Unexpectedly, he kept rolling down the trench, and then his howl stopped abruptly, which made people feel cold. They all knew that this person must have been inserted under the trench. The sharp stake was worn to death.

Wang Tianlong looked at the chaotic scene, scolded something in his mouth, and then waved his hand. One of his men immediately knocked on a gong.

After Wang Tianlong's men heard the sound, they immediately turned the horse's head one by one, lost the rope hooks, turned around and ran back this way.

"What an old man surnamed Fan. No wonder this guy dares to be so arrogant. There are so many archers in his village! Damn it! I underestimated him!" Wang Tianlong said scoldingly.

Xiao Tianjian doesn't care much about this matter at present. What he is most concerned about is the safety of Shi Ran and Da Niu. After these riders rushed back, he immediately count his men. When he saw Shi Ran, Da Niu and others come back, he was a little relieved.

This tentative attack temporarily ended with the failure of the attacker. Wang Tianlong damaged four of his men. Two of them died outside the village, and the other two were snatched back by their own people. One person was shot on his left shoulder. The bullet of the musket made his shoulder blurred. Although he was robbed, this The arm was probably useless. The pain made him scream and was lifted down. The other person was hit by an arrow in the arm, and the injury was not very serious. After he came back, the man gritted his teeth and asked someone to help him break the quiver, and he also endured the pain and went down to the arrow.

Only then did Xiao Tianjian see that Huzi, who followed Shi Ran back, lay pale on the horse's face. After coming back, his body tilted and almost fell off the horse, so he was immediately held up and pulled the tiger off the horse.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian saw that an arrow was inserted in the back of Huzi's shoulder blade, swaying on him. It turned out that when Huzi rushed over, he was also hit by an arrow. This was forced to grit his teeth before he insisted on running back.

Xiao Tianjian quickly asked someone to break the arrow shaft of the arrow on his body and let him take him down and give it to Lv Rongxuan who came with him for treatment. This time he came out, he had already expected that he would inevitably hurt some of his men, so he also brought Lv Rongxuan over and used it as a military doctor. Now it seems that, This should be a wise decision.
