Chapter 120 The Deathly Battle 3
If it weren't for the expansion, only with the self-made firearms owned by the previous teaching battalion, this defensive battle would never have fought so hard. Just because the self-firedling gun could not be supplemented for a while, it greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of Liu Yaoben's teaching battalion, making the advantages of the Xing Tianjun unable to be fully exerted, so that this It was so hard to fight a battle.
Seeing that gaps began to appear in the walls of the pass on all sides, more and more officers and soldiers began to rush up to the wall, and there was an emergency everywhere. Liu Yaoben even had to kill the officers and soldiers who attacked in front of him. It was not until this time that Liu Yaoben turned around and strode down the pass wall to the last one that had already gathered in the fort. The two hundred firemen roared, "Brothers, you will be the last force to defeat the officers today!" Now you have a good rest! It's time for you to do it! Go up and let the officers and soldiers have a look. Let's see how powerful our Xing Tian's arms are!"
After the afternoon, the rain weakened a lot and basically began to turn into sporadic light rain. At this time, the 200 firemans had already prepared in the castle, looking at the fierce battle on the pass wall one by one, were already so anxious that they screamed. When they heard Liu Yaoben's order, the 200 firemans shouted. With a sound, they raised the self-fired fire in their hands together, and only the sound of crackling was heard, and a piece of smoke suddenly rose in the earthen castle.
A group of officers and soldiers who had just stood firm on the north wall were trying to expand their results on both sides, and finally tore open the defense line of the Xing Tianjun. Under this row of guns, more than a dozen officers and soldiers standing on the pass wall fell down on their backs, even though they were spraying blood fog one by one.
The sudden fire of muskets suddenly frustrated the morale of the officers and soldiers who had just attacked the wall, and then the second row of guns sounded.
After two hundred firemen who had been waiting for a long time were released in three rows of guns, the officers and soldiers on the whole north wall were swept away. A hundred firemen with bayonets roared and rushed up to the wall. With a piercing, they drove the officers and soldiers on the north wall down the pass wall.
As the firemen filled the paper shell bullet into the mouth of the gun at a very fast speed, they kept shooting in turn according to the orders of the officer.
The officers and soldiers who had not heard the sound of the rattle in the past day, but suddenly heard the sound of the rattle after row, and they couldn't help but be a little confused. The reason why they dared to attack so fiercely today was that it rained today. What they bet was that the birds of the Xing Tianjun could not use it, so they were urged by Cao Wenyao. Go down to this dirt castle.
But now all of a sudden, the birds of the thief's army resurrected again, and it was so fierce that it immediately made many officers and soldiers panic. Just now, the excitement of breaking through the earth castle suddenly disappeared, and even the officers and soldiers who were not hit by guns panicked. The officers and soldiers who had just rushed to the wall They turned around and quickly jumped down the wall and ran out of the trench regardless. Some people accidentally fell into the trench and drowned in the trench full of corpses on the spot.
When the fireman of the reserve team killed the pass wall again, the soldiers of Xingtian, who had already become the end of the crossbow, were excited, as if they had regained their strength in their bodies. They shouted and rushed up again. They waved their knives and chopped down the officers and soldiers who grabbed the wall.
Cao Wenyao had already seen from afar that more and more officers and soldiers had begun to grab the passage wall of the earth castle, and the resistance of the Xing Tianjun was getting weaker and weaker. He thought that today's battle would be over in a short time, and he could completely annihilate this group of thieves. In the small earthen castle, but before the completion of the great work, the thief army, which had been mute for a day, recovered again. The thieves who were already unable to resist suddenly exerted their strength and drove his soldiers off the wall again.
So Cao Wenyao roared and ordered not to retreat, forcing these officers and soldiers to turn back and continue to attack the earthen castle. Anyway, he did not allow this battle to be so defeated. Even if the thief army can use the bird gun, he must take the earthen castle today. Otherwise, he really won't do it well. There is a chance.
The knives and axes also faithfully carried out Cao Wenyao's order, killing dozens of retreating officers and soldiers one after another, forcing many officers and soldiers to turn around and rush towards the earthen castle again.
But at this time, a few roars suddenly sounded on the wall of the castle. The cannons on both sides had stopped for a day. At this time, Xing Tianjun also began to roar again. Originally, Xing Tianjun's artillery were wrapped with gunpowder with oil paper in advance. Although the rain would have a certain impact on the firing, but Because there is an oil paper package, it can basically fire. The reason why I didn't fire on this day is that the ammunition in the castle has basically run out. The only remaining ammunition Liu Yaoben should also be used at the critical time, so it was not until this time that Liu Yaoben took out the last ammunition and was dense and crowded outside the fort. The officers and soldiers who were together bombarded.
The officers and soldiers did not expect that the Xing Tianjun would fire again at this time, so they all huddled together and became the target of the best bombardment. Several resurrected three-pound guns were filled with scattered bombs. Once bombarded, a large area of open space would appear in the crowd below, even if many officers and soldiers were bombarded by cannons. On the spot, the officers and soldiers were killed and injured very badly.
At this time, the officers and soldiers no longer have the will to fight. They fled to the back regardless of it. No matter how Cao Wenyao stopped it, he could not stop the retreat of these officers and soldiers.
Cao Wenyao was angry that his hands and feet were cold. He grabbed a long-handled knife and roared, "Follow me! I must take down this castle today! Otherwise, Cao will swear not to be a man!"
After saying that, he took his family team and those swords and axesmen who supervised the war and roared towards the Tubao against the flow of people. Seeing that even Cao Wenyao, the main general, had personally went into battle, he slightly saved the morale of the officers and army. Some fugitive officers and soldiers saw Cao Wenyao taking the lead against the current and rushed to the Tubao, so they were stunned. After a while, he also turned around and rushed back.
Liu Yaoben waved his waist knife and pointed to Cao Wenyao's group of people who rushed back against the current. He roared, "Concentrate all the birds, turn all the muzzles, and fight for me!" Bomb these bastards to death!"
The firemen swarmed up the wall, picked up the self-made fire one by one, and aimed at the officers and soldiers led by Cao Wenyao.
After several rounds of gunfire, the family around Cao Wenyao fell down. Although these people were all elites in Cao Wenyao's hands, and each of them were good at fighting, in the face of Xing Tianjun's self-made fire and shells, their flesh and blood bodies did not do anything at all. Yes, he could only be shot and fell to the ground one after another.
But Cao Wenyao, like a mad tiger, continues to rush forward, trying to cross the trench and climb the city to seize this earthen castle in person.
At this time, the sound of gunshots on the castle gradually began to fade, and even the sound of artillery stopped at this moment. Liu Yaoben looked at the officers and soldiers who had rushed to the castle and asked angrily, "Why did you stop?"
A fiery hand shook his head to Liu Yaoben and said, "Sir, we have run out of ammunition!"
And the gunner of a nearby gun also spread out his hands and shook his head helplessly. After a short period of rapid shooting, they consumed their last ammunition in a short time. Looking at Cao Wenyao's officers and soldiers who counterattacked, Liu Yao smiled bitterly, put the knife into the sheath, and stretched out his hand to build a long shot from his feet. The gun was held in his hand, looked around at the men who were looking at him, and said loudly, "In this case, let's drive them back with our hands!" I'm afraid of him, kill him!"
Hundreds of soldiers still standing on the wall of the fort saw that Liu Yao was so calm. Although they were tired to death, they also raised their arms and shouted, "Kill!" While talking, the firearms pulled out bayonets from their waists, stuck in the front end of the gun mouth, and picked up the firearms that had no ammunition in both hands.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Cao Wenyao repeatedly took his generals with a big knife and pounced them twice, and was repulsed by the Xing Tianjun. However, Cao Wenyao still had no intention of withdrawing the troops and fighting again tomorrow. He still commanded his hands to fight under the fort.
Liu Yaoben added another gunshot wound to his body at this time, and the blood soaked the clothes in his armor again. There was almost no blood on his face, but he still clenched a gun rod full of knife marks and stood on the wall, commanding the remaining Xingtian army to continue the final resistance, so Some people all know that if the officers and soldiers rush up again, they may really not be able to hold on it. But at this time, everyone has the determination to die and is fearless. Everyone takes advantage of this small gap to sit down and gasp a little, wrap the wound, and quietly wait for the officers and soldiers below to pounce again. Come up.
Cao Wenyao roared: "The thief army has run out of food!" Do it again, you will definitely be able to attack again! This is the last time! If anyone kills the thief, I promise to reward him with a thousand taels of silver! Go on!"
So the officers and soldiers were mobilized again and roared like beasts and rushed to the broken earth castle that could no longer be broken.
"Your Excellency...Your Excellency...!" Just when Cao Wenyao wanted to launch the last attack on the earth castle, he ran to the army in a panic for several nights, shouted loudly, and chased after Cao Wenyao.
Cao Wenyao roared impatiently after hearing this, "What's the matter? Let me take down this earthen castle!" Now I don't want to hear anything!" With that, he will continue to wave the knife forward.
But this night, the boss still shouted and caught up with Cao Wenyao and shouted to him, "Your excellency! It's not a big deal! A thief army was suddenly killed in the direction of Yongning, and there are only more than two miles away from here! Please decide as soon as possible!"
After listening to this, Cao Wenyao felt as if his heart had been hit by a heavy hammer. He almost vomited blood, grabbed the boss's neck and roared, "What? Say it again!"
The general took one of Cao Wenyao's arms with both hands and struggled to say, "Your Excellency, a bandit army has rushed from Yongning!"
Cao Wenyao really doesn't know what it's like in his heart at this moment. Although he knows that the thief army in the earth castle has reached the point of drying up, as long as he comes again, he can conquer the earth castle. However, at this time, the reinforcements of the thief army have arrived, only a little, just a little, he will win this. There was a battle, but God didn't give him this opportunity. Now the reinforcements of the thief army rushed here.
With helplessness and unwillingness, Cao Wenyao finally stamped his foot heavily, picked up the big knife in his hand, gritted his teeth and ordered, "Take the soldiers back to the camp..."
Seeing that the officers and soldiers had rushed up, but suddenly they withdrew their troops, the tide recedes like a hula. Liu Yaoben and his subordinates, who had already hung their hearts to their throats, did not dare to believe their eyes at first, thinking that it was an illusion, but when the officers and soldiers completely withdrew After retreating, they realized that this was not a dream. The officers and soldiers had indeed withdrawn their troops.
Many people looked at each other in a daze to find out the answer to why the officers and soldiers retreated, but everyone was puzzled. No one could figure out why the officers and soldiers had reached this point, but they retreated, so everyone looked at Liu Yaoben standing on the wall.
After Liu Yaoben smiled miserably, his body shook violently and almost fell into the wall. Fortunately, a guard came up to help him, and he stood firm again: "The reinforcements have arrived! Our reinforcements have arrived! Ha ha!"
After Liu Yao said this, his tight body suddenly relaxed, and his legs fell down on his back.
The soldiers quickly grabbed Liu Yaoben and let him lie flat on the wall. Suddenly, all the soldiers in the fort couldn't help cheering...
(It's not easy for us to talk about it! They have weekends and holidays, but we have to stick to the code! Brothers, don't you?!)
