Chapter 95 The Battle of Zhaimen

(I couldn't update it when I went out in the morning. For the red ticket, I will directly have a 5,000-word chapter in the afternoon! Brothers, check it!)

The place where they rested was still two or three miles away from Tianlongzhai, but when they rushed to Tianlongzhai together, they did not procrastinate when they marched on the road just now. They all had enough strength and ran towards the front. In a short time, more than a thousand people squeezed into Tianlongzhai like a torrent. At the entrance, looking forward along the road from afar, I only saw that the gate of Tianlongzhai was really open. There was no flag on the wall of the fortress, and no one was stationed. I only saw a few people carrying things in a panic. It seemed that they wanted to escape from the village. As soon as I saw so many officers and soldiers rushing over, these people fell on their bodies. The package turned around and ran back to the desperate village. Obviously, there were still some people in the village who didn't have time to escape. Now they are blocked in the cottage!

Not far from the village gate, there was a big car that fell on a wheel. The grain bag on the car fell to the ground. Some rotten shoes were lost on the road, and even a few rusty iron knives and broken guns. Along the way, a lot of scattered copper coins were dropped, and there was also a cloth bag with a big hole in it. There are some unsprinkled copper money left. It seems that this pole perched in Tianlongzhai is really panicked, and even these things can't be picked up!

After seeing this scene, these people were much more relieved and bolder. They rushed to the Tianlong Village one by one, for fear of being robbed by others. At this time, who still cares about the formation? If you rush in first, you have money to take it, and then you won't even have to eat shit!

The stewendant of each village was afraid that he would fall behind. As he ran, he shouted to make his men faster. The road to the cottage was relatively narrow. Suddenly, more than a thousand people poured in, and suddenly it became crowded. Originally, some people had private hatred between the villages. After squeezing together, they were even more like The cockfights generally stared at each other and cursed.

In the middle are the officers and soldiers led by Ding Baoquan. They still occupy a little organization, squeeze Zhuang Dingxiang Yong aside and squeeze forward vigorously, which aggravates the chaos in front of Zhuangmen. The officers and soldiers and the villagers quickly mixed together. You scramble for me to pick up the money and things thrown on the road, and scold each other. Stop, some people even punched each other for a few copper coins that fell to the ground.

In a word, the scene outside the gate of Tianlongzhai is as chaotic as it is. The head can't be squeezed a little bit. They just push each other and crowded, and the crowd rushed into the gate of Tianlongzhai like a flood.

At this time, the village gate was squeakly pushed inside and slowly closed. At the same time, the sound of someone shouting against the door was heard.

Only then did the officers and soldiers and villagers who had rushed to the village gate realized that there might be some poles left in the cottage before they could run away, so they stopped one after another and began to stop outside the mountain gate.

At this time, someone appeared on the wall of the mountain gate. He stretched out his head and lay on the wall and looked out. And there was a voice, shouting at the convener to stand here.

Ding Baoquan gasped and squeezed out of the crowd, kicked a village brave who was in front of him, held the edge of the eight-petal iron helmet above his head, and looked at the mountain gate.

There were not many people on the wall, and they all looked very panicked, and they didn't see any organization. They only heard that there were people shouting and scolding in the wall.

Ding Baoquan suddenly became happy. In his opinion, there must be a small group of people who were greedy for the property in the cottage. They wanted to take more, so that they fled a little slower and were actually blocked by them in the cottage. At this time, he was more sure that there were still valuable things in the cottage, as long as they attacked. This trip will definitely not be in vain.

So he ordered his officers and soldiers to be quieted down, and the stewards of those villages were also restrained. Don't quarrel any more. After waiting for a long time, they finally became quiet.

Ding Baoquan opened his voice and shouted at the mountain gate: "The poles inside are for me!" I'm Fengxiang Wei Qianzong Ding Baoquan! I ordered you to open the door and surrender as soon as possible, and I will let you go without killing! Otherwise, when we enter the cottage, we will definitely kill you!"

Ding Baoquan's voice was not low, and his voice was very clear and far away. It was expected that the poles hiding in the mountain gate could be heard clearly. After shouting, Ding Baoquan asked someone to bring him another big chair. The big horse sat on the chair, waiting for the people in the mountain gate to answer.

After waiting for a while, I saw half of my head exposed on the wall, looked at the appearance, and then shouted loudly, "Bah! Go to your mother! I'm not stupid. If you open the door, you will still chop me off! I won't open the door. If you have the ability, just call in! I'm not a vegetarian. You can try it! Who dares to come up, I will chop it up!"

After hearing this, Ding Baoquan almost turned over angrily. The officers and soldiers and villagers around him also cursed one after another. Ding Baobao angrily pointed to the person who answered on the mountain gate and cursed, "Are you the Xiao Yix?"

In the chaos, I don't know if the man heard what he said. Anyway, after answering, the man shrank his head, and then more than a dozen figures flashed on the wall, and some knives and guns exposed the wall. It seemed that he really didn't intend to open the door and surrender.

Looking at the crowd crowding outside the mountain gate, there were poles on the wall. For a while, these officers and soldiers did not dare to be too presumptuous. They stood far away from the mountain gate, waiting for Ding Baoquan to make a decision.

At this time, Ding Baoquan has no longer paid attention to the poles blocked in the cottage. No matter how you look at the number of poles in the cottage gate, it is estimated that there will be only 20 or 30 people at most.

So he waved his hand and shouted, "It's really a lifeless thing. I'll step back!" Come on! Bring up our cannons, and the torches and archers will come forward to open the mountain gate for me and kill them!"

Then, under the command of Ding Baobao, his officers and soldiers were busy. The archers and firearmers came forward one after another and lined up outside the mountain gate. The rattan player also came forward with a shield to provide cover for these archers and firearms. Dozens of officers and soldiers shouted outside the mountain and returned the several artillery they brought with them with the car. Some swarms of bees were moved to the mountain pass, and everyone went to the back to make room for the officers and soldiers to attack the mountain gate.

The stewards of each village were also prepared to do this. They immediately cut down trees outside to make long ladders, and also cut down a big tree and put it on a big car, ready to be used as a car and hammer to punch the door.

And the wall seems to be very busy. Some poles are shouting around the wall, constantly erecting some big shields, and carrying some things such as rolling wood and stones. It seems that they are also preparing for stubborn resistance.

After tossing for a long time, the officers and soldiers outside the mountain gate were finally ready to attack. The two flank machine and tiger squatted cannons were placed outside the mountain gate. The muzzle pointed straight to the mountain gate. A gunner knocked and completed the loading, which was listed on both sides of the artillery. Only after Ding Bao's order, he opened the gun to attack the door.

"Give me..." Ding Baoquan stood at the back of the queue. Seeing that the arrangement had stopped, he roared harshly.

Several gunners immediately put the torches in their hands on the door of the cannon when they heard the sound. They only heard several loud noises in the mountain pass, and then a thick smoke rose at several cannons.

The Fran machine brought by Ding Baoquan this time is a kind of medium-sized gun. The gun body is more than one meter long, weighing about two or three hundred catties. Although the range is limited, it is still quite powerful to attack targets like Shanmen at such a close range, and this is the mountain gate to deal with, which is filled with real After flying out, the heart projectile hit the mountain gate made of thick wood heavily, and the heavy mountain gate shook violently, and two bowl-sized holes appeared on it.

The tiger squat gun is a light gun that belongs to the category of mortar gun. It is not only filled with a solid bullet, but also more than a hundred small lead bullets. One shot was bombarded, making a crackling noise on the wall of the fortress, raising a piece of debris, and two holes were also carved out on the mountain gate. The momentum was quite shocking, which immediately caused The officers and soldiers and the villagers cheered.

Ding Baoquan is very proud. After all, they are still officers and soldiers. Although their combat effectiveness is not good, this equipment is not comparable to ordinary poles. At least he has never seen poles. With this alone, he has the confidence to disperse these stubborn poles.

"Don't be stunned! The archer's fireman fights for me! Guys, let's press the pole on it for you. You can do whatever you want!" Ding Bao was very proud, but he was not dizzy. He knew what the virtue of the soldiers under him were. It was okay to shoot a few shots from afar. If he really asked them to go up and fight with those outlaws inside, he would definitely not succeed, and he also knew that he was here to give The helper surnamed Li couldn't fight with his own men' lives, so after a few shots, he greeted the stewards of the villages and let their Zhuang Ding begin to carry the long ladder to attack the village gate.

After listening to the steward of each village, there was nothing to say. After all, the officers and soldiers came here this time to help them fight. Everyone secretly understood that even if they could carry cannons to suppress the poles inside for them, even if it was good, too many officers and soldiers could not be expected.

So after the stewladys of each village agreed, they greeted their men and began to carry the long ladder to go forward and prepare for the attack. The archers and gunners of the hundreds of officers and soldiers lined up in front. Under the cover of the rattan hand, they fired at the wall one after another.

The officers and soldiers don't have a three-eye gun with a limited range, so when they put up the gun, it was a crackling sound. There was no one to command them to shoot in unison at all. Instead, there were a large number of archers, and they opened their bows and arrows one after another. For a moment, the sound of the bows and strings sounded into a piece, and the arrows The black pressure fell on the wall.

It's a pity that these archers have not been trained much at ordinary times, and because of nutrition, the strength of the bows and arrows are limited. The bows used look like hard bows for infantry, but in essence, they are some small bows of poor quality, and the maintenance is also very poor. The bow arms are weak and weak, and most of them are shot. They are all light arrows, which look very majestic, but the arrows are light and don't have much strength. It doesn't have much killing effect, but can only play a symbolic threat!

This is also an important reason why the officers and soldiers were repeatedly defeated before Qi Jiguang compiled and trained the Qi family army when the Japanese pirates invaded the territory at sea. The arrows fired by many officers and soldiers did not cause much damage to the Japanese pirates at all, so the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers can naturally be seen.

After some arrows flew out, they fell on the wall and couldn't even nail the wooden board, so they landed on the ground. Some of the arrows did not fly to the wall and fell to the ground, which was not a big threat to the people on the wall at all.

But at least they also provided a certain degree of fire cover for those villagers who were responsible for attacking the village. Under the order of the stewards of each village, these villagers carried the long ladders one after another, covered the top of their heads and upper body with rattan cards in one hand, shouted, and rushed towards the village gate.

"Don't be stunned. Hurry up and load the bomb, continue to bombard me, and blow the village door open to me!" Ding Baoquan saw that these villagers had begun to attack, so he went up and kicked a gunner's buttocks and cursed at the guys who were watching the fun with their mouths open.

So the gunners began to be busy. The gunners who operated the Furan machine gun knocked down the wedge of the plug, took the gun out of the gun from the shell of the mother gun, and then hurriedly cleaned the gun barrel, and then stuffed the second gun into the gun's belly, busy using the wedge to hit the gun firmly into the mother gun. It is fixed.

They are very careful in this step, because when the son of the flan machine is loaded, it must be tightly docked with the mother. Once the loading is not in place, the leakage of gunpowder gas is light. It often spewed out flames at the interface can also seriously burn the gunner. The experienced gunner is loading the gun. At that time, they will be very careful not to hit the enemy. First, they will burn themselves into roast duck.

But after all, the Fran machine has a natural advantage, and it is much faster to load than the front-loaded artillery. Even if the gunners are not trained enough, they still complete the re-loading in a relatively short time. With Ding Bao's order, it roared again, and the projectile hit the thick wooden door, and it immediately Two more holes were made on it.

And it is much more troublesome to load the tiger squat gun. It takes more than two minutes to complete a series of procedures such as clearing, loading, loading, etc., and I dare not load too much gunpowder, for fear that it will cause the tiger squat cannon to blow up. The procedure is very complicated. In addition, the gunner basically does not train much on weekdays, and the loading speed is slow. People are desperate.

Under the cover of the firepower of the officers and soldiers, the villagers easily ran to the bottom of the fortress wall with a long ladder, and the pole on it was obviously shocked by the officers and soldiers' muskets, cannons and bows and arrows. The resistance was very weak. Only someone showed up and shot an arrow, which was basically There is no place to stop the villagers from approaching the wall.

And it was not until the villagers leaned against the wall that they counterattacked more fiercely. They pushed stones and rolling wood down the wall, but really knocked down a few villagers, causing the villagers to shout and scold under the wall. Fortunately, the people on it did not dare to show their heads, but just pushed things down. It's very lacking, but it doesn't cause any trouble for these villagers.

In this way, the long ladder was erected by a frame and put on the wall of the village. Some bold villagers were rewarded and encouraged by their smanders, so they put a single knife in their mouth, clenched their teeth, held the rattan in one hand, stroked the trembling long ladder in the other, and began to climb up.

At this time, the archers and torches of the officers and soldiers were afraid of hurting their own people, so they also stopped firing. A large group of villagers pushed the car with a large log and rushed out of the crowd and rushed straight towards the village gate.

As soon as the archers and firearms stopped, the cannons also stopped firing. The officers and soldiers shouted like a good play one by one, urging the villagers to move forward in a sarcastic tone.

And some poles on the wall of the village were finally able to breathe at this time, and their heads were exposed one after another. Instead of shooting arrows, they threw stones down, and the counterattack was also much more fierce. They beat down several villagers who climbed up the ladder. They smashed their heads one by one by one, and lay under the wall and screamed.

After seeing the blood, the villagers also stimulated some morale. They shouted one by one and then rushed up the long ladder and climbed along the long ladder to the wall of the village.

After all, the number of poles on the wall is very small. Under the repeated impact of hundreds of villagers, some people still climbed up the wall. However, as soon as several villagers appeared on the wall, they saw a cold light in front of them. More than a dozen poles were holding long guns and quickly poked them out of the mouth. Several villagers had no time to resist. Some people were stabbed through the chest before even taking the knife from their mouths. They made a sad cry one by one, and the bodies fluttered down the wall.

Only then did the battle really kill people in the battle, which suddenly stopped the villagers' offensive. Some people lay on the long ladder and did not dare to continue to climb up.

The people below shouted and urged the people on the ladder to climb up, while the people on the ladder held the ladder and refused to move. The situation was a little deadlocked at this time.

At this time, on the wall of the wall, several fire basins were suddenly dropped. The fire basin was full of charcoal fire, and it spilled down. After the charcoal fire flew down, many people's clothes were lit, so that the villagers under the wall jumped one by one, patting and falling on their heads or on their bodies. The charcoal fire, followed by a lot of lime poured down. After the lime floated down, even if someone held the rattan card, he couldn't stand being squinted and fell down the long ladder one by one. As a result, a large group of villagers, under such a counterattack, turned around and ran back crazily. They just organized The offensive was actually disintegrated by the limited poles above. A group of gray-faced villagers jumped and scolded back, and hurriedly looked for vegetable oil to wipe their eyes, for fear of being blinded by lime.

Ding Baoquan looked at the chaotic scene, and there was a trace of disdain on his fat face. He knew his own depth, but he still didn't like the performance of these Xiangyong Zhuangding. There were only one or twenty poles on it, at most 20 or thirty poles. These villagers were in him. With the support of "strong" firepower, they still couldn't attack the wall, and they were beaten by others. Several people were killed and more than a dozen were injured. This battle made them feel aggrieved!

"Don't continue to attack the wall. The archer shoots an arrow, presses the pole on it, and hits the door for me. As long as you open the wall, these bastards can't run away!" Ding Baoquan still has some experience after all. He knows that with these villagers' bravery, it is estimated that many people will die if they want them to attack the wall. If so many of them hit Tianlongzhai, there are only dozens of poles in it, but many people will die, Ding Baoquan also feels that his face is shameless, so he immediately ordered to change the strategy of attack. The main attack on the wall is the main attack on the wall.
