Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 423 Death Squad (please subscribe!)

...

Wu Jie's tactics are not complicated. He just let Han Shizhong's army form a human wall to keep the more than 1 cavalry of Brother Yelu from disturbing his attack. city.

Wu Jie even said, "If the city of Shuozhou is not destroyed today, I, Wu Jie, will apologise with death!"

Before the battle, Wu Jie said: "You all know what the situation is here. As long as we start to attack the city, the horse army from the Liao Kingdom will come and make trouble. Therefore, we must take this city of Shuozhou in one fell swoop. The thought of those flies... The guard of Shuozhou City is a good fighter, and he still has a lot of bed crossbows in his hand. He will not give the slow heavy infantry a chance to approach the city wall, so , we can only compete faster with him, so I won’t talk nonsense, we have been trapped in the city of Shuozhou for seventeen days, unable to advance an inch, I, Wu Jie, can’t afford to lose this man, I have issued a military order, today If the city of Shuozhou is not destroyed, I, Wu Jie, will apologise with death!"

Speaking of this, Wu Jie opened a book at hand, which was full of silver coins. After a rough look, there were no less than [-] coins.

Wu Jie patted the silver coin and said: "This is all my belongings, Wu Jie's and our army's. We are now recruiting death squads. If you are selected, you can come and grab them!"

After being quiet for a while, one person came out, and then he clasped his fists at the crowd behind him and said, "Brother, go one step first, go one step first!", and then resolutely walked to the open space on Wu Jie's left.

Wu Jie cupped his fists at the man and said, "Good man!"

Soon another person came out and said: "The ruler treats me with great kindness, and I would like to join the Death Squad!"——Wu Jie is a man of loyalty, knows soldiers, and can command troops. Overwhelmed by charm.

Wu Jie patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Good brother!"

Later, another person came out and said: "Because the land of Yanyun was occupied by the Liao people, my Zhang family ancestor went to the house behind closed doors and was killed by Liao dogs from the sky. Only my great-grandfather escaped. This enmity is irreconcilable, now that the governor is here to recover this land of Yanyun, how dare my son of the Zhang family refuse to die!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, another six people came out and said, "Brother, wait for us!"

When the previous person saw it, he said, "Okay! You are worthy of my son from the Zhang family!"

Afterwards, the seven of them came to the open space on Wu Jie's left hand side together.

Wu Jie clenched his fists at the seven people and said, "What a man the Zhang family is!"

The seven brothers of the Zhang family returned the gift together, but they didn't say anything more.

At this time, another person came out.

Everyone was amazed when they saw it, even Wu Jie was amazed!
The name of this person is Yang Congyi, and now he has achieved the position of acting deputy commander. He is already a mid-level general in the Liangshan Army, and this person is also one of the hundreds of low-level generals that Li Yan traded with Zhao Ji. Li Yan is very optimistic. In fact, several of them have achieved the position of acting commander, such as Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Liu Kai, and Wang Yan even sat on the position of acting commander. It can be said that his future is limitless.

However, who would have thought that Yang Congyi, who had such a bright future, would also join the Death Squad.

Wu Jie couldn't help but said: "Zihe..."

Yang Congyi said: "The governor said that generals have the will to die, and soldiers who are not greedy for life will be invincible and invincible. Now that the command recruits death squads, we can't just ask soldiers to die. We officers must also set an example."

After hearing this, Wu Jie clenched his fists at Yang Congyi and didn't say anything else.

With role models, Yang Congyi in particular stood up, and immediately two to three hundred people stood up, including many military officers, but more political workers.

After these political workers stood up, they talked about a lot of righteousness, such as serving the governor, fighting for the Han people, and the meaning of being a soldier, and suddenly 600 people came out.

Wu Jie saw that there were enough people, and said: "Father, son and brother are in the death squad, the father stays, the son goes back, and brothers are in the death squad, and those who are not married go back."

Dalang Zhang said: "If we don't go back, there will be no complaints about death or injury, and no regrets. As long as the Han people can recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun!"

There are many fathers, sons and brothers, but none of them went back.

Seeing this, Wu Jie stopped persuading, but said: "Receive the reward!"

At this time someone laughed and said: "We don't want it anymore. What do you want this money for? General, you can keep it. Maybe it will be needed in the future."

As a result, only more than 100 people caught the silver coins.

Wu Jie didn't talk nonsense, and directly distributed steel wheel fire cabinets, two for each person.

There is no moat in Shuozhou City, and this section of the city wall chosen by Wu Jie is the weakest area that was discovered by the secret special battalion.

Wu Jie ordered a thousand heavy infantrymen to form a human wall with wooden mantles and large shields to send the death squad some distance away, and then the death squad charged.

Speaking of this, some people may wonder why Wu Jie didn't make some feints to disperse the defenders' strength, so that there is no need to attack by force. You must know that Shuozhou City is very large, and the defenders cannot cover everything.

If you ask this question, you probably forgot that there are more than 1 cavalry outside the city, and you also forgot that Wu Jie built a wall of 2 people to prevent these Liao cavalry from disturbing his attack on the city.

With such an obvious hint, how could Chai Yi, who had experienced many battles, fail to guess where Wu Jie attacked the city from?

Therefore, this is no longer the time to use tactics. If you want to break the city, you can only fight with your life!
After everything was deployed, Wu Jie personally sent the heavy infantry and death squads to a place only [-] steps away from the city wall (which was already within the range of the bed crossbow), and immediately gave the order: "Siege the city!"

After receiving Wu Jie's order, the heavy infantry immediately set up their wooden curtains and large shields and rushed forward.

Chai Yi was very calm, and did not rush to shoot the soldiers of the Liangshan Army, but moved the soldiers of the Liangshan Army to [-] steps before commanding the bed crossbow to shoot the soldiers of the Liangshan Army.

Don't pay attention to the solid armor on the infantry and the wooden curtains and large shields in their hands. As long as they are shot by the crossbow arrows shot by the bed crossbow, they will undoubtedly die. Some even can kill two people with one arrow. how big.

Only escorting the death squads took more than 300 steps, one-third of the thousand heavy infantry were killed or injured, which made Wu Jie feel so distressed that his heart bleeds, "These are all elites!"

But even so, Wu Jie still did not order the death squads to charge.

It wasn't until 150 steps away from the city wall that Wu Jie shouted: "Death squad, charge me!"

Hearing Wu Jie's order, the death squads flashed out from behind the heavy infantry, and then ten in a row, the people in front used their bodies to block the arrows for the people behind, and rushed towards the city wall together!

Seeing this, Chai Yi knew that something was wrong, but he pretended to be calm and said: "Archer, shoot these people who dare to come and die for me."

"Shhhhhhhhhh..."

The Death Squad fell in pieces!

In order to run faster, these death squads are all wearing leather armor. In this case, if you get hit by an arrow, you basically have to fall behind. Just die.

During this process, Wu Jie always stood in place with a knife, even if the crossbow arrows flew past his head and ears, Wu Jie just stood still——Wu Jie also had the will to die!
By the time the death squads rushed to the city, nine out of ten of them had been killed or injured. Among the seven brothers of the Zhang family, only one had rushed to the city. Even ten people were all dead.

Although it was so tragic, Wu Jie gritted his teeth and smiled, "The victory and defeat have been decided!"
