Chapter 23 This is facing the enemy

In the early morning, smoke rose from the Bingchen fence, and the soldiers and civilians were guarding the walls, looking at the densely packed enemy soldiers outside the fence.

The defensive buildings of Bingchenzha are like fortresses, but they are basically military farmer, with the chief official Xiaoqi Pan Quan and only ten war soldiers under him.

The others were either military families or ordinary people, with a total of forty households and more than two hundred people. Once they were attacked by the enemy, they would die.

Seeing so many enemy soldiers outside and their subordinates basically had no combat capabilities, Pan Quanqiang calmed down, opened the warehouse, distributed weapons, arranged for the military and civilians to perform their duties in accordance with the drill, and resisted the enemy's attack.

Everyone had to fight with weapons, including his half-large son.

Outside, the Qi cavalry who had been harassing the futile days of the day were ready to attack.

More than 2,000 people have gathered outside the Bingchen Basin, most of which are miscellaneous soldiers riding horses, not elite cavalry.

They used the trees and bamboos cut nearby to create simple siege equipment, made corresponding preparations, and launched an attack on the military farm settlement in front of them.

Before, Qi State had a detailed study and understood that the military settlements of Liang State were divided into different levels, with the smallest "zha", and the military and civilians were generally forty households, that is, about two hundred people.

Now, they have more than 2,000 people, and the military strategy says "Ten sieges" and can they still not be able to attack these small villages with more than 200 people?

Not necessarily, because the "gate" in front of us has a building like a fortress, with high walls. If it weren't for only one side of it was a pond and the other three sides were land, the Qi army would not have used it as the target of attack.

If you attack from three sides, at least 600 people are invested on each side, the defenders will be assigned at least 70 people on each side.

Six hundred vs. seventy, at least eight times the advantage of military strength. Just archers shoot, Qi army believes that its own side can suppress the other side, so it is worth a try.

The long ladder of the wall climbing has been made, and there are many. After eating, the soldiers of the army are ready to attack the base at the same time on three sides.

First carry a large shield like a sect board, approach the fortress, and set it for forty steps away from the camp, using it as a cover for the archer.

The archers hid behind the big shield and shot against the archers on the cradle. The arrows shot from the cradle were sparse, and the Qi army's offensive unfolded like a flowing cloud.

A group of soldiers in armor, under the cover of their comrades' shields, were about to rush towards the South Gate, the only door of the fortress.

But the general felt that the other party might have prepared wooden stones, or boiled gold juice or boiling water, or even blocked the door, so he temporarily canceled the door collision.

Directly implement ant attack and attack.

After a while, the Qi soldiers attacking at the same time on all sides achieved a long ladder against the wall, and more archers gathered outside the fortress to suppress the basement.

First, climb the ladder with a sharp knife and climb up under the cover of the archer.

From time to time, they were hit by crossbow arrows shot from the small windows on the walls and fell from the ladder, but more of them came up first.

The arrows shot by the defenders were really sparse. Soon, they climbed to the top of the base first, but found that the top of the base was not a platform, but more like a roof.

But there is no tiles, but a solid whole roof, like a flat plate, and tilted inward. Overall, the whole roof with inclined inwards seems to be surrounded by a funnel.

The "funnel mouth" is small, and they cannot see the situation below the "funnel mouth". The "roof" is slippery, and they ride on the narrow "roof" without any obstacles.

On the four-cornered arrow tower, archers kept shooting arrows at them. When they were not careful, they slid inward along the roof.

I reached out and grabbed something, trying to catch something so that I could not let myself slide down, but the surroundings were flat without any raised objects.

My heart suddenly disappeared, and the person slid down from the eaves and fell to the ground, just on the pointed bamboo of the Hedgehog. After several "puffs", he fell to death and vomited blood, and could not even shout.

Next to them were a few women with horror on their faces, holding short spears in their hands, looking at the fallen soldiers tremblingly.

Some women rolled their eyes and collapsed to the ground. Some people stared at them and stabbed forward with spears, stabbing Qi soldiers who were stabbed to death.

Then he was so scared by the blood that he couldn't even hold the spear, he covered his mouth and knelt on the ground, and vomited.

More and more Qi troops first climbed to the top of the tower, and then slid down without exception and died.

But there were screams one after another. The woman who was waiting for the rabbit below. Seeing the living people falling down one after another and turning into "meat skewers", she couldn't stand the blood and screamed in fear.

The men quickly asked these women who assisted in the war to help with the crossbow, or carry supplies, and raised their own short spears and "waiting for the rabbit."

Outside, Qi soldiers who were sharpening their knives saw that their comrades had crossed the wall and entered the building, and heard the crying inside. They just said that their comrades had succeeded and attacked the building and were slashing people wildly.

So they panted and climbed the ladder with all their might.

Behind the small window on the south wall, a pale boy, wearing an iron face, holding a crossbow, tremblingly aimed at the figure outside the small window and shot an arrow.

Xiaoqi Pan Quan, who had been supervising the battle, watched his son Dalang shoot arrows while trembling, and his back was wet, and he couldn't bear it, but he had to let his son participate in the battle.

If Bingchen hadn't had the high walls, thick walls, and various defensive facilities were complete, he wouldn't have brought his family here to farm.

However, the military government invested a lot of money and built a lot of building up the surrounding military farms. The Bingchen Bar was not alone, so he had the confidence to take his subordinates to guard the place and preserve the results of military farms.

Although there are many enemies outside now, since he is not very good at taking a look and dares to attack Bingchenzhan, he doesn't mind letting the soldiers and civilians in thezhan experience the feeling of killing.

"ah!"

Screaming out, Pan Dalang fell back and shouted with his face covering his face. At another small window next to him, a father and son who were cooperating with a crossbow to shoot arrows was stunned.

"Stop doing something, keep shooting!" Pan Quan roared and rushed forward, but saw an arrow in his son's face.

Pan Quan felt his heart beating stopped: With such a small window, the enemy soldiers could actually shoot arrows in!

Pan Dalang pulled off the arrow. Pan Quan looked closely and saw that the iron face of his son was wearing was a bit damaged.

"It's okay, Dalang!"

"No, it's okay!"

Xiao Pan said in a daze, and got up and picked up the crossbow that fell on the ground. The two eyes exposed on the iron surface were full of fear and excitement.

Killing, this is killing!

The living people were shot one by one by one by me in front of me, and blood was splattering everywhere, which was much more exciting than shooting a rabbit!

"If you have nothing to do, keep ejaculating!" Pan Quan smiled. As long as his son was fine, "Don't worry about it no matter how you shout outside. Our Bingchen Gate is just a trap, waiting for them to die."

"The roof of our camp is specially built like a funnel, with coal paste and sludge and oil applied, and it is very slippery. The more they climb in, the more they will die!"

Pan Quan smiled and smiled grimly. The father and son who were guarding another window were already shocked by the bloody battle, but at this time they were "awakened" by Pan Quan's laughter and were excited to keep shooting the enemy:

That’s right, how many people come and how many people die!

The battle continued, and the Qi soldiers besieged the fortress gradually felt something was wrong: Why did so many people climb in, but they didn't see the door open?

But it is a fact that we logged in first and then climbed over the wall. Perhaps the door was blocked and we couldn't open it in a hurry.

Many people thought so and continued to climb the ladders, but those who climbed the top shouted "Bring the rope up", and those who gathered under the wall brought long ropes with iron claws.

Pan Quan, who turned to the western wall, observed the enemy through the peeping hole. He felt that the time had come, so he ordered the people guarding the wall:

"Hurry up, put on the turbid oil barrel!"

Next to him, a thin middle-aged man and a lame old man pushed the car over with a wooden barrel.

One end of the round barrel is painted with white, with four large black characters written on it: This is facing the enemy.

They were ordinary people, and they had never fought a war, and they had never killed anyone. They barely carried the wooden barrel onto the shelf of the "launch platform" and put it on, but they were not even able to put it.

Pan Quan looked carefully and his face turned pale when he was so scared.

He didn't dare to shout, for fear that the two of them would be scared, so he rushed up to hold the bucket: "I'm against it, I'm against it."

It turns out that the end of the barrel that is "facing the enemy" faces the room, and it is also a blessing that there is an "anti-installation reverse device" at the end of the barrel, that is, there are multiple bulges, so it cannot be placed flat on the rack.

Pan Quan and these two men dropped the barrel and put it on the rack, which means that the end of the "this faces the enemy" faces the outside of the device.

Pan Quan wiped the sweat from his face with his hands. When he saw his subordinates who were watching the enemy through the peeping hole shouting "It's OK!", he operated the device, opened the 'drop port', and then pulled the "trigger" of the device.

The barrel slid out, and after counting breaths, a "roar" sounded.

A ball of fire bloomed on the head of Qi soldiers who attacked the base, and countless flames fell like rain, falling on Qi soldiers' heads, shoulders, and body.

The flames stuck to them, lingering and suffocating,

The crowd was ignited by the flames and soon spread out. Countless people rolled on the ground with flames, howling.

The other two walls also sparked, and the generals who were commanding the attack were shocked when they saw this: Why do you feel that this fortress, which does not seem to have much counterattack ability, is so difficult to chew?

Could it be that he was fooled?

Just as he was surprised and suspicious, a shrill sound of trumpets sounded from the far south. The ranger was guarding around him and warned him: The Liang army cavalry is here.

The sound of the trumpet also reached the ears of the Liang cavalry.

Peng Dazhu, who led his army to rescue Bingchenzha, went straight to Bingchenzha from the time of his attack, because according to the arrangement, the invading Qi cavalry would inevitably besiege a few settlements, and Bingchenzha was one of them.

Because these settlements are baits that deliberately show weakness, they introduce enemy cavalry to siege.

According to the overall arrangement, in order to deal with the harassment of Qi cavalry, blocking is not possible. It is necessary to "discrete". Peng Jun, the governor of the military farm, made a plan to use the method of catching crabs to induce the "crabs" to join the Internet.

The vast military farmland area, with ponds, solid settlements, and terrain such as trees and water terrain, form a trap like a crab trunk.

Let the "crabs" only move forward and move along certain areas.

The Bingchen Gate (deliberately), which is surrounded by ponds, looks like a break in a crab sieve, and is easy to break through.

But countless crabs fell into the entrance to the big net.

Peng Dazhu is the son of Peng Yu. He has been riding on the battlefield with his relative Peng Jun for many years. Now he is ordered to come to the "export" to catch "crabs" and is ready to be fully prepared.

"Go around! Bring them into paralysis!"

Peng Dazhu shouted and led nearly a thousand cavalry under his command, pounced on the enemy outside Bingchenzha like wolves and tigers.
