Chapter 356: The bloody battle is just the beginning

The Fifth Battalion of the Left Zuo was outside, and the performance was quite interesting. The King of the Left Jin Liu Xiyao had known the way of the Huaiyang Army for a long time. Seeing the other party pushing out the cannons, he quickly ordered his artillery to retreat. The King of the Left Jin was walking slowly, and he immediately ran to the back after shouting.

But the king of troubled times Wei Xiaobei couldn't react for a moment. The range of artillery between the two sides was different. The Huaiyang Army's artillery was set up with all its hands and feet, and three cannons were aimed directly here. The several cannons that Wei Xiaobei pushed out also saw the other party's actions.

He was really unable to move forward or retreat. He also saw that the cannons of Zuo Jin King did not come out at all. There were helps pulling them at the back in the formation, and everyone cursed for a moment.

People still have some luck in their hearts, thinking that the officers and soldiers' artillery might not be able to hit so far, but there were already fire and fire.

The shells flew over and were whistling. The hasty correction and aiming were not accurate, but the people there were already shocked. Seeing the bomb stirring up smoke and dust not far from him, they jumped a few times on the ground. They were really distracted and they didn't care about anything.

The gunners who were gunners who were fighting in troubled times were not caring for nothing and ran towards the formation. They pushed out five cannons. After three rounds of Huaiyang Army, a shell hit the cannon of the king of troubled times. The killing was really limited, but the performance of the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Gleath is also ridiculous.

It is not realistic to move forward any more artillery. First, the place is very cramped, and second, the opponent's scattered line and cavalry are already ready to move. In this space, at most one shot can be fired, and the opponent's troops can reach the front of him. It is really not worth it.

In the Huaiyang Army's main formation, the soldiers set up a high platform for Chen Liuhe and his generals. In such a battlefield, the commander should do as much as possible to schedule and observe the situation on the battlefield at a high place.

On the other side of the bamboo wall, an officer trotted over and said loudly under the platform:

"Mr. Chen, this place is not suitable for bombarding infantry. The land is too soft. The three-pound shells just now did not jump up on the ground at all."

Chen Liu nodded and replied loudly:

"Go back to the formation. We just need to do our best and let these thieves attack!"

The artillery officer saluted and turned around and ran back to the front to issue an order. Chen Liu held the Qianli Milestone in his hand to observe the city defense opposite, but he always maintained a smile, and it seemed that he did not take the other party seriously.

Wei Xiaobei from there came to Liu Xiyao with his personal guards and said with a little complaint:

"Brother Liu, there is no brotherhood. Brother, you know the tricks of Guan Gou, why don't you know that brothers say a word? Look, it's a mess."

Wei Xiaobei has always been dressed in a particular way in the refugee army. He was a child of a dilapidated family in the mall. After he got to the present situation, he began to lean towards his enjoyment. This was not very good at Liu Xiyao, who was a small vendor.

Faced with Wei Xiaobei's questioning, Liu Xiyao raised his eyebrows and said coldly:

"Old He just said that he asked me to lead you to fight, why don't you listen? Come and talk about this now."

He Yilong had his own arrangements when he went to fight. When He Yilong was in the middle of the battle, because he was in the forefront, he suggested that Liu Xiyao, the king of Zuo Jin, had fought with the officers and soldiers, and he was somewhat experienced. It would be better to let him be in the middle to dispatch it, but when peace in the city was incompatible, how could King Wei Xiaobei be willing to command his troops in this troubled era?

But after suffering a small loss in the battle, I immediately came over to complain...

Just as the two were about to quarrel, they heard several soldiers watching over the city wall shouting at the top of the voice:

"The officers and soldiers were there to build walls, and a group of people were there to fill soil behind the shield!!"

With the height of the bamboo tray, it is not easy to see what the people behind are doing. The angle at the top of the city is to watch the soldiers constantly dig up the soil and rocks along the river bank and on both sides, and then pile them behind the bamboo wall. As mentioned earlier, this section of Yingshang City is not much room for expansion.

Outside the open space are short hills and paddy fields, where officers and soldiers are taking soil on a large scale. With tough bamboo stows as support, they can also support the soil.

After the people on the city were shouting, they could already see the earth baskets of officers and soldiers pouring earth towards this side. Before the Huaiyang Army appeared, Lao Qian and his group of people chatted and joked on the city. At this time, they were on the bank outside the moat, staring at the bamboo rows opposite, and the bamboo wall gradually turned into earth walls.

Scarface held a rusted big knife in his hand, reached out to touch his scar habitually, and exclaimed:

"Good, I didn't see many civilians. This group of dogs dig up the soil and repair the walls by themselves. It's so fucking rare."

Lao Qian was wearing this leather armor with a big hole. Seeing that the hole was open between his chest and abdomen, there was a purple-black blood clot at the rupture. It was obviously taken off the dead man. He was holding a knife in his hand and standing further backwards. His face was not very good-looking and he said cursingly:

"This group of officials is the one who made our battalion suffer losses in Zhengyang Town. I heard from my brothers that it was very strange and difficult to crack!"

The little loach held a spear in his hand. He was the one who stood the front among these people. There were two or three rows of people in front, which was the front line. The reason why they were two or three rows was because these people had no formation at all and were standing there casually. He heard the two acquaintances talking and turned around with a smile:

"If the meal is finished today, there will be a drink and meat treat in the city!"

After he said this, the people beside him and behind him burst into laughter. The scarred face swallowed and said:

"Don't say it, looking at this scene, our king must reward him..."

The words made the group of people feel excited. They first saw the tragic phenomenon of famine, and then fought in the refugee team. To this day, they had no illusory wish. Being able to have a drink and meat to eat is beyond the fear of being about to die in battle.

There was chatting and laughing here, and suddenly someone shouted there at the top of his throat.

"Brothers, today the official dog is coming. If we don't beat them back, we will have no way to go to Henan to commit suicide. Lao Liu makes a wish first. For all the brothers who are heading for the first five rows, each of them will cost fifty taels of silver and a good handful of weapons. The girls who come back in the city will give you a few days. Today, all the brothers, after returning to the city, we will open the wine and meat to eat!!"

After saying this, there was a thunderous joy. Although the Fifth Battalion of the Gleas has been operating in a prosperous place for a long time, the refugees below did not enjoy much blessing. Even in troubled times, they could live in a peaceful place for a few years. A good handful of weapons is the capital to save their lives. As for women and wine, there is no need to say.

On the high reward, I saw countless people walking towards the front row. The formation outside the city was originally the Gzuo Wu Camp, which was nearly a hundred steps thick from the outside of the moat. As soon as I said this, the people who were still in the city rushed out, and the people outside leaned forward, and the formation suddenly surged to a thickness of 150 steps.

As for this length, all the places where the formation can be expanded are already full of the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Gezuo. On the outside of the city gate suspension bridge, Liu Xiyao and Wei Xiaobei were surrounded by their guards, and Wei Xiaobei's array was also cheering, because they also promised the same reward.

Seeing Lao Qian and Scarface walking forward, the little loach also wiped his nose and walked forward. Scarface held the knife and pushed the person in front of him while cursing. When others saw the scar on his face, they usually retreated. Looking back at the little loach following with a spear, Scarface couldn't help but laugh and scolded:

"Why? You haven't grown any hair, and you're also thinking about the sissy."

The little loach said with a chuckle:

"I took the fifty taels of silver and went back to Henan. I also bought a few acres of good land, married a wife, and respected my mother."

Lao Qian and Scarface looked at each other, but this time they didn't laugh and scold. They gave fifty taels of silver in the first few rows, but they didn't count. That was because they were sent to death, and there was no need to count. When you came back, it would be a loss to send it to you. As for the little loach, they were the same hometown as him. Xiao loach didn't know that they had heard it vaguely, and his mother had long been starved to death.

"Brother Liu...Brother Liu, can this work?"

Wei Xiaobei's titles have changed a little. The scene in front of him is only possible when mobilizing to attack Yingchuan and Lu'an. At that time, there were many officers and soldiers and the city walls were tall and thick, so he could only rush forward desperately. He promised a grand reward several times, and the brothers were all killed and injured, but after all, they were taken down.

Today, the bamboo wall in this small path was about to come out to make such a big noise to fight. Liu Xiyao, the king of Zuo Jin, did not care about talking to Wei Xiaobei, and dragged a soldier to shout in a deep voice:

"Go and tell Lao He that I have held him back and told him to go faster!!!"

The guard half-kneeled down and took a few people to squeeze into the city from the crowd. The king of troubled times Wei Xiaobei didn't care about so many, and shouted loudly from behind to issue orders to let the soldiers beside him step forward.

Just now, Liu Xiyao, the king of Zuo Jin, sent his direct troops up without hesitation, without any intention of preserving his strength. King Wei Xiaobei of this troubled times also became solemn. This is the benefit of resigning the fifth camp of Zuo. Everyone was still unanimous to the outside world at critical moments.

The soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the G Zuo were stimulated by the rewards, and the refugees rushed forward. The already thick team was growing, and the back teams in the city were also clamoring to leave the city.

The two sides were not far away, and the refugee soldiers kept crowding forward, and were already very close to the bamboo wall. The bamboo wall was still pouring outward. The bamboo wall was already half lost by the soil outside. The refugee soldiers were all relieved and bold because of the other party's civil engineering work.

The noise of the refugee soldiers had already drowned most of the sounds, so no one heard loudly shouting in the officers and soldiers arrays.

The shouting stopped, the soil was poured down, but there were a few muffled sounds. The shells were dragged behind the bamboo wall, but it was not that they did not fire the cannon...

The shells roared into the crowd, although the soil was soft and the solid artillery shells at this time mainly depended on the bounce on the ground.

But the refugee army was too dense. The shells rushed into the air, as if they were smashing into the container of flesh and blood, and the flesh and blood were flying everywhere, screaming in tears.

It seemed like a bag full of water was suddenly pierced, or to more accurately describe it as a dam filled with water and suddenly burst.

The crowds were like floods, rushing towards the bamboo wall in front...

Although Xiao Niu was the youngest among that team, he had experienced a lot of bloody battles. Although he was standing in front just now, he shrank as much as possible when charging.

But the people behind were rushing so hard that they could not control their figure even when they stumbled, but they still slowed down and saw more and more people rushing to the front.

Scarface and Lao Qian also shrank toward the back. The several cannons behind the bamboo wall did not stop firing, but less than a hundred steps away, the refugee soldiers knew that they could only be safe if they ran to the bamboo wall as soon as possible. If they were halfway through, they were the targets of the other party.

Every time the shell was shot, dozens of people were killed in the storm of refugees. However, in the charge of so many people, the casualties seemed to be small waves in the tide. The fallen people were trampled on by the people behind, and no one paid any attention to them.

The bamboo row with chest-high height is filled with soil on both sides, which means chest-high walls. The height of the musket stand is just right, and this height is pre-estimated.

Above different distances, the Jiaozhou Camp Huaiyang Army has different weapon correspondences, and the cannons are followed by the volley of muskets, which has become a fixed ground procedure.

The non-commissioned officers holding axe guns issued loud orders behind the musket soldiers' queues to ensure a volley.

Although the refugees outside Yingshang City of the Fifth Camp of the Gezuo Camp were charged in a huge manner, the sound of cannon shooting in the bamboo wall could not be concealed.

After rushing for a while, the sound of cannons stopped, and the Scarfaced group in the middle of the queue accelerated. I saw that there was no more sight behind the bamboo wall except for the spear array. The sound of cannons stopped, and the soldiers holding the muskets mounted the muskets on the chest wall.

"Open fire!!"

The metal projectile shot out from the gun chamber at high speed with the whistling of death. The bamboo wall was immediately covered by the smoke of guns, and the first round of muskets began to shoot.

The open space between Yingshang City and Yingshui River bank was silent for a moment. The Huaiyang Army officer behind the bamboo wall could no longer see the situation opposite. Under the cover of the smoke, his vision was very blurred, but after the opposite side was a little quiet, the sound of the refugees shouting and killing sounded again.

"First row, back down, second row, top up!!"

With the Huaiyang Army's array on the shore, there were only four rows of musket soldiers rotated, but after four rounds of shooting, the shouts of killing became much more sparse.

In such a narrow space, the dense firepower poured out, causing great damage to the migrant army rushed over...

The migrant army outside the city ran completely. Although the array in front had become sparse under the killing of cannons and muskets.

However, the movement of the large formation outside the moat, the back team could not stop pushing the front team. Even if there was a gap, they were quickly pushed by the people behind. Moreover, the subordinates of the Zuo Jin King and the King of Troubled Times also saw that the muskets on the bamboo wall were no longer fired, and in a short period of time, they did not rotate to shoot at the rhythm just now.

This shooting is different from the usual firearms of the official army. At least it is put into the range and fired, causing great damage. However, the fire of the musket cannot keep up now, so it turns into a fire stick and rushes in to kill!!

Fifty taels of silver! There is enough wine and meat! There is also a woman! Every refugee soldier who rushed in front seemed to feel these in front of him, and everyone's eyes turned bloody.

The little loach pointed the spear in his hand and shouted loudly in his hoarse voice. Now he was rushing to the forefront of the team. Just now, the musket sounded, and the people around the people in front kept falling down, with the roaring of projectiles flying beside him. The companions in front of him, Lao Qian and Scarface, fell to the ground halfway, and were trampled on and could never get up again.

He had no time to be sad, and followed the army to fight. There were too many scenes and too many people who died. He saw the bamboo wall right in front of him.

The bloody smell in the air was mixed with the smell of gunpowder that had not yet dissipated, which made the little loach go crazy. A companion in front of him had already climbed up the bamboo wall, but suddenly turned it down from above and a blood hole was opened in his chest. This was the opportunity. The officers and soldiers in front were old and would not be stabbed if they went up.

This is the life and death experience of the little loach. He stepped on his companion's body and jumped over the bamboo wall.

Sure enough, the spearman in front of him had just retracted his spear and had not had time to make a second assassination. This was the opportunity.

The little loach raised his spear and stabbed forward. Suddenly, he saw two spears stabbing him on both sides of the officers and soldiers on the other side. The spear in his hand was not long enough, and there was a bamboo wall behind him. There was no need to hide or dodge. At this moment, the little loach was not afraid in his mind, but he remembered his hometown mall and his mother. At that time, it seemed that there was no disaster yet, and everyone was very happy...
