Chapter 161 Death to the End

Xiao Tianjian arrived in time. For the Xingtian soldiers guarding Hexi Village, it was undoubtedly a great good news. For those who were already morale, it was undoubtedly to make them rise to the next level in morale. Originally, they thought that even if Xiao Tianjian received the news, he was afraid that he would need to get here. It took three or four days to prepare, so they were ready to fight to the end, but they didn't expect that Xiao Tianjian would come here the day after the war between the two sides, and he was immediately excited as if he had been beaten.

On the other hand, the officers and soldiers were very surprised that Xiao Tianjian rushed here at such a fast speed. The man surnamed Xu immediately sent troops to try to intercept Xiao Tianjian's team and prevent him from entering Hexi Village. However, only one of them was rushed to pieces by Luo Li's leading troops and fled back to the official army camp. Not getting out of the way, Xiao Tianjian and more than a thousand people entered Hexi Village.

After arriving at Hexi Village, Xiao Tianjian immediately checked the battlefield outside the village. He could only see that outside the chest wall of the village, there were a lot of corpses of officers and generals. The air had begun to be filled with a smell of corpses. Moreover, outside the chest wall, a lot of rough shields were lost, which were everywhere. With blood stains, it can be seen that in the past two days, the officers and soldiers must have launched many attacks on Hexi, but they have never broken through the defense line outside Hexi Village. On the contrary, the loss is not small.

So he immediately asked about the situation of the war in the past two days. As soon as Li Shuanzhu heard Xiao Tianjian ask about the situation of the war here, he immediately said to Xiao Tianjian.

It turned out that after the officers and soldiers were frustrated on the first day of the attack, they changed their tactics and no longer rushed to attack Hexi Village, but camped on the spot to build a shield car. And the next morning, that is, the morning when Xiao Tianjian led his troops to Hexi Village, he launched dozens of shield cars and sent officers and soldiers to push the shield car to cover the shield car. Under the protection, he launched another attack on Hexi Village.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers also strengthened their firepower. All the artillery in the general was transferred to the front of the battle and bombarded the defenders of Hexi Village in order to suppress the sharp firepower of the Xingtian Army and break through the chest wall defense line outside the village.

These shield cars are made of temporarily cut down logs, which are very heavy. When they are pushed side by the officers and soldiers to the chest wall outside the village, a large number of officers and soldiers hide behind the shield car, which effectively blocks the firepower of the firemen outside the village, and successfully pushed these shield cars within 30 steps close to the chest wall. The official The army hid behind the shield car and fought with Xing Tianjun with three-eyed gongs, birds and bows and arrows. The situation tilted towards the side that was beneficial to the officers and soldiers.

And the three-stage attack tactics of the Xing Tianjun were also greatly limited at this time. The limited number of small French cannons and tiger squatting cannons could not smash the shield cars of the officers and army. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to push the shield cars to the front of the chest wall, the officers of the Xing Tianjun suddenly ignited a pile of ready. The Thunderbolt gun (paper thunder) threw it across the chest wall and smashed into the crowd of officers and soldiers hiding behind the shield car one after another. The officers and soldiers obviously did not expect that Xing Tianjun would have this kind of thing. As a result, groups of officers and soldiers hiding behind the shield car were suddenly blown up to death, and the camp was in chaos.

Then a group of knife and long gunmen hiding behind the chest wall were ordered to climb over the wall. While the enemy was blown up by the Thunderbolt, they went into the enemy's array and killed fiercely. As a result, the officers and soldiers fled again and left more than a hundred corpses outside the village, even one Mr. Qian was also blown up on the spot and died before the battle.

In this way, the officers and soldiers were beaten without any temper. Not to mention breaking through Hexi Village, even the seemingly simple chest wall outside Hexi Village did not even touch the side. On the contrary, they were beaten and the soldiers were embarrassed.

After listening to Li Shuanzhu's words, Xiao Tianjian, Luo Li and others also laughed. Xing Tianjun's bird gun and grenade warfare has a strong advantage in both field and defensive combat. When facing the army whose equipment quality is not as good as that of Xing Tianjun, he can completely fight the other party at all. The power of the hand.

After a defeat in the morning, the officers and soldiers launched another attack in the afternoon, but they were still repulsed by Li Shuanzhu's troops. In the past two days, they did not lead Xiao Tianjian to lead the soldiers to fight against the officers and soldiers. In the battle against Hexi Village alone, the officers and soldiers lost nearly 300 people. Basically, the arrogant arrogance of the officers and soldiers on this road was completely destroyed, while the losses of the soldiers of the Xingtian army on Li Shuanzhu's side were very small, with less than 20 casualties, and the exchange ratio of the battlefield reached more than ten to one.

In this way, Xiao Tianjian's worries about here disappeared, so he rewarded a group of meritorious soldiers and generals in this battle on the spot and placed the soldiers and horses in Hexi Village.

In the face of such a difficult Xing Tianjun, the officers and soldiers who came from Qinyang suddenly retreated. They didn't expect that the Xing Tianjun was so difficult to fight. Originally, their intention was not to destroy Xing Tianjun here, and now the reinforcements of the Xing Tian Army rushed here again, and they couldn't help but come to the leader. Xu Yishi is also a little stuck in the dilemma.

If you want to continue to fight. This Hexi Village was so powerful before there were no reinforcements. Now there are a large number of reinforcements. If these reinforcements are still as powerful as the bandits in Hexi Village, then their officers and soldiers are dangerous. After all, they are a miscellaneous army temporarily pinched together. The generals are not familiar with each other, and they all have their own thoughts, are afraid of war, and they all want to preserve their strength. Their combat effectiveness is really worrying. Once they continue to fight, if the war is a little unfavorable, they may collapse on the spot.

But if you don't fight, it doesn't make sense. They have only sent troops for two days, and everyone in the Qinshui area knows that Xing Tianjun's strength is insufficient. If they withdraw like this, it is estimated that Shangfeng will never forgive them. There are no need to be many charges. If they are afraid of fighting, their people may be dismissed. Going to prison, especially his leading general, will become a thousand people's point, and there will definitely be no good end after going back.

So that night, Xu Jishi discussed with his generals in the middle of the night, and finally did not discuss a result. Some people proposed to withdraw their troops, and some people proposed to continue to attack. The two sides were deadlocked and no one could prevail.

In the end, Xu Yu had to neutralize the mud and let the generals not fight any more. He said that he would wait here for the time being and watch the situation of Xing Tianjun, not fight head-on with Xing Tianjun, make a drag formula, and look at the situation of the other two officers and soldiers. If they can delay these soldiers and horses of the Xing Tianjun here, let another The two officers attacked Yangcheng County from both sides, and the Xingtian army here had to go back to the other two directions. Then they will also have the opportunity to conquer Hexi Village from here and enter Yangcheng County, so that both sides will be perfect.

After listening to Xu Yushi's opinion, all the generals calmed down and scolded Xu Yushi for being an old slippery man. However, the generals had no opinion on the method he said. It can be said that there was no more suitable method than this method.

So the next morning, the officers and soldiers shrank in the camp and no longer launched a new offensive against Hexi Village. Instead, they began to strengthen their camp in the camp and set off their position to consume with the Xing Tianjun here.
