Chapter 206 Rebuke

Just when Xu Dingguo had a headache outside Shuangfengzhai, Zuo Guangxian, like him, stopped under Lianhuazhai with a frown. Since he and Xu Dingguo divided his troops to kill here, he has also repeatedly persuaded him to surrender without results, and has organized more than a dozen fierce attacks on Lianhuazhai in a row, although Lianhuazhai did not A crest-style fortress wall like the other side of Shuangfengzhai was built, but on the original basis, after nearly a year of continuous repair by Xing Tianjun, a layer of rammed earth wall was added to the inside and outside the original wooden wall, and covered with a layer of stone on the outside. The thickness of the wall has been more than doubled, and the height has also been increased. About two feet, it has already been abnormally strong.

Moreover, the terrain of Lianhuazhai is dangerous. It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Xiao Tianjian hadn't sent strange soldiers to sneak up the mountain from behind the mountain last year and sneaked on Xiao Butcher's cottage, it would have been difficult to attack this Lianhua Village in a short time with his original strength.

Now after changing to Zuo Guang's attack, Zuo Guangxian also encountered the same situation. In the face of such a dangerous lotus village, he could only bravely send troops to rush up again and again, but in exchange for the intensive fire shooting of the Xingtian army department on the wall of the village. Every attack was sued at a heavy price. The end.

That's not what frightened Zuo Guangxian. This time, he also pulled a lot of artillery with the army, put them at the foot of the mountain, and bombarded Lianhuazhai, but the result was counterattacked by the enemy's cannons. The gunners of these thieves shot very accurately, and the artillery was also quite sharp. In terms of range, some artillery guns far exceeded the guns he had at hand. They were almost like Hongyi cannons. They could hit their officers and soldiers from afar. They fought with each other several times. As a result, they all ended in the failure of his officers and soldiers. Even the artillery brought by him was damaged by the Xing Tianjun.

Zuo Guangxian really couldn't figure out how this small army of thieves could be so powerful. Not only was it equipped with bird guns that far exceeded the quality used by the officers and soldiers, but also they didn't know how to get the light red cannons. In this way, they would definitely sit down more and more, so after a few days of consecutive days of attack, no He had to keep doing it and passed the war report to Xu Dingguo. He wanted to ask Xu Dingguo to help him attack Lianhuazhai together.

But then he also received the news from Xu Dingguo. Xu Dingguo was also very frustrated when attacking Shuangfengzhai. In these days, he lost more than a thousand soldiers and could not get out for a while. He came to Lianhuazhai to help him.

After listening to Zuo Guang first, he couldn't help but be shocked again. It seemed that they really met the piercing enemy this time. No wonder this time he came from Shaanxi. When he saw He Renlong, He Renlong repeatedly secretly warned him to be more careful. At first, he didn't think so, but he passed the Liang family. After Zhuang and fighting these days, Zuo Guang first began to believe what He Renlong said. This Xing Tianjun was really too difficult to deal with.

Wu Kung, who is sitting in Pingyang Prefecture, is also nervously paying attention to the progress of the war in Yangcheng these days. Now among the four-way officers and soldiers, Hu Dawei's all-way officers and soldiers have been basically disabled. After joining forces, the two people and horses of the three-way army have invaded the boundary of Yangcheng, which makes him somewhat relieved. For so many troops to enter the territory of Yangcheng County, it should be a matter of certainty to eliminate this group of thieves in Yangcheng next.

But what he didn't expect was that after waiting for a few more days, he received the news that the attack of the officers and troops in front of him had been frustrated. The three officers and soldiers, without exception, were blocked by Xing Tianjun, and they returned without success in attacking for several days and could not advance at all. This made Wu He couldn't help but start to worry again, so he immediately sent people to all armies to meet Xu Dingguo and others, strictly ordered them to continue to attack, never allow them to stay up, and scolded them that they must get rid of this group of thieves before the end of February, and completely eliminate the thieves in southern Shanxi, otherwise it would be a mistake. Military planes punished them.

After receiving Wu Ng's scolding order, the main general of the three-way man and horse was deeply convinced, because this time they also knew that Wu Jing and Hong Chengchou were determined to completely clean up the current group of Xing Tianjun so that they could not sit so big, and they almost mobilized their military and material resources. If the power in Shanxi still can't take this group of Xingtian army thieves with an absolute military advantage, then there will definitely be no good fruit after going back.

Xu Dingguo, Zuo Guangxian and He Renlong all had a plan with their men and told them what Shangfeng meant. These generals also had to nod and agree, and they would work harder next.

Especially Zuo Guangxian, after learning that the bandit leader was in Lianhuazhai, he made up his mind that no matter how much he paid, he would capture the Lianhuazhai. No matter whether he died or died, he would kill the bandit leader surnamed Xiao. In this way, he would have made great contributions to this battle.

So after rectifying under the Lianhuazhai, Zuo Guang made up his mind first. On the morning of February 21, he personally put on the battle and gathered together at the foot of the mountain with the entourage generals. And the artillery and all the siege equipment in the general were pulled out and placed at the foot of the mountain, in order to Today's World War I completely took down the cottage in front of us.

With the assembly of officers and soldiers, Xiao Tianjian immediately climbed on the gate of the wall and looked down the mountain. Liu Bao, who followed Xiao Tianjian, also took a pergola and looked down the mountain. Although Luo Li was not ordered to lead his troops to climb the wall to guard, this guy was not idle and followed Xiao Tianjian to the wall. .

"Good boy! Today, this officer and army's posture is really big! This son of a bitch wants to drown us!" After looking at the movement of the officers and soldiers under the mountain, Luo Li immediately muttered and scolded.

"Brother Luo is right. This time, the officers and soldiers seem to be anxious and want to use people to kill us! Damn it! There are too many of them! More than 10,000 people moved together this time!" Liu Bao was also a little nervous by such a big battle between the officers and soldiers.

After all, the number of soldiers of the Xingtian Army in Lianhuazhai is only 3,000. After more than ten days of consumption, Liu Bao has less than 1,200 soldiers left to fight. Even with the artillery team and Shi Ran's scouts, Luo Li's second battalion is only left after the battle in Liangjiazhuang. A thousand troops, but they have to face the attack of nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers, saying that it is impossible without any tension.

Xiao Tianjian carefully observed the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain with his telescope. After looking at it carefully, he put down the telescope. Not only did he show a nervous expression, but his body relaxed a little, and there was a contemptuous smile on the corners of his mouth.

"There is no need to be afraid of them! There is only one way up the mountain in the lotus village. They don't even think about it on the back side of the mountain. A team of people stationed there, and they can't come up at all!

Although there are many people, the terrain here is very limited. Even if they come a million people, they will come up one by one. No matter how many people there are, it is useless!" Xiao Tianjian put away the telescope and said to Luo Li, Liu Bao and others with a sneer.

Luo Li looked at the leather tube with a telescope around Xiao Tianjian's waist, swallowed his saliva, and said to Xiao Tianjian, "General! Our second battalion has been resting for more than ten days! Every day, I can only watch the four battalions of the Liu Bao brothers work with the officers and soldiers, but they have nothing to do with us! Now Brother Liu's Fourth Battalion has also practiced. I think Brother Liu and others are also very tired. If they continue to work like this, I'm afraid they will be tired!

Today, since the officers and soldiers are serious, it's time for our second battalion brothers to pull out and slip away! If it goes on like this, those bastards will have gained a lot of weight!"

Liu Bao immediately said, "Nothing! The brothers in our fourth battalion are not as good as you said. The brothers are in good spirits! Let's keep going! Isn't it just that there are more people? I will still lead the army to do it! Damn it!"

After looking at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said, "Luo Li, when it's time to let you go out, I won't let you be idle. Today, it seems that Zuo Guang has made up his mind to break through our stockade!" If you want to do activities, go down and gather the brothers of the second battalion to prepare! Whenever I let you do it, you can kill me! One thousand to ten thousand, do you have the courage to kill the stockade?"

After listening to this, Luo Li was first excited, and then slightly shocked. He heard from Xiao Tianjian's tone that today, Xiao Tianjian also planned to have a duel with the officers and soldiers, and actually planned to throw out his second battalion, so he immediately straightened his chest and replied, "Obey the order! Since the general wants us to go out, not to mention that there are 10,000 officers outside, even if there are more, if the brothers of our second battalion say no, then cut off my head!"

Xiao Tianjian laughed and said, "Okay! I believe that your brothers in the second battalion don't have a dry meal! I'll give you this opportunity to go down and gather your brothers! Today we will fight against the officers and soldiers! Let's see how capable this left light is!

Liu Bao!"

"The end will be!"

"Today, the guard here is still in charge of your fourth battalion. No matter what you think, be sure to block the officers and soldiers for three hours. Even if your men are dead, you have to resist me! Otherwise, just come and see me!"

After listening to this, Liu Bao's body shook, and immediately kicked his legs and tightened his body. He replied loudly to Xiao Tianjian, "The last general will get the order!"

At this time, the boy Liu Yao didn't know when he slipped to the wall of the fortress wall and stretched out his head to look down the mountain. When he heard Xiao Tianjian tell the generals, he slipped to Xiao Tianjian and said to Xiao Tianjian, "General! Our youth camp can't rest all the time! Why don't we ask our youth camp to help Uncle Liu this time?

Xiao Tianjian glanced at Liu Yaoben, reached out and slapped him on the head. He smiled and said, "I knew you were not idle. Did your little brothers secretly insice you to beg for your life again? Go back and tell your little brothers that you don't need your help with this kind of thing at the time being. You can stay behind me and watch and help carry supplies, but you are never allowed to fight! When you grow up, I will give you a chance to fight! Now be honest with me, get out of here! Look at it from afar! Today, we will destroy the officers and soldiers!"
