Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 884
Generally speaking, no matter how dangerous the pass fortress is, it is impossible to cover everything and prevent water from pouring through.

The reason why Yongqiu is difficult to attack is not just that Pei Ze blocked the march, the rebel army's use of the terrain has reached an extreme.The simple blockage of Pei Ze only exists on the south side of Yongqiu, while on the north side, it chooses a defensive method of connecting camps.

The camps themselves were extremely crudely built, not considered strong fortresses. If the fence walls and earth dams existed alone, they would hardly have any defensive effect. A large number of villagers lived in them. Of course, there were also some barracks to maintain the wide area of ​​more than ten miles. order in the area.The distance between the wall of the camp and the dock is as short as ten or twenty feet, and the length is only a few miles away. It is filled with many irregularly shaped cultivated lands. of Shu seedlings.

The camp itself is not enough to hinder, but when the stretches are connected together, plus the unarmed villagers in the camp, and the huts where they live, etc., these elements add up to form a road of earth and rocks. A line of defense mixed with flesh and blood.

If a large group of people wants to advance, they must drive away the villagers, demolish the houses, and deal with the enemy troops that may rush out at any time, which is very difficult to break through.Even if they break through the defense line that is more than ten miles thick, the attacking army has already become a tired army, and what greets them is the elite troops of the chaotic army, which is well-arranged and waiting for work, and the number of victories is slim.

In the afternoon, Tian Jing, who was temporarily stationed in the south of Chenliu's old city, received an order to launch an attack, and immediately counted [-] soldiers, and marched towards Yongqiu in the south with another [-] heavy armor.During the period of time he was stationed here, he also had a general understanding of the situation around Yongqiu and understood what kind of opponent he was facing.So this time the attack did not carry heavy siege equipment, not even heavy ordnance such as armored lances, but nearly a hundred mayfly light vehicles were carried with the army, and the vehicles were fully loaded with bows and arrows.

The mayfly light vehicle is a weapon specially built by the Huainan Army for the complex terrain near Yongqiu. This vehicle can be driven on flat ground, and when it reaches the muddy beach, the wheels can be disassembled and dragged with an elliptical lower shaft wrapped in bark and weeds Go forward, and when you reach the shallow swamp area with obvious water accumulation, you can use your wings to paddle forward as a raft.If the enemy attacked the team on the way, the two wings can be dismantled and stacked up as a simple shield wall for defense.

In the past period of time, Tian Jing's front-line troops mainly relied on this kind of multi-purpose light vehicle for transportation, avoiding the tediousness of changing vehicles.Of course, the structure of this kind of car is not lacking in exquisiteness. The biggest problem is that it is not durable. It is only suitable for short-distance transportation. The load is not too high.However, the bamboo and wood materials used in the frame itself are all common, and they can be found everywhere. The wheel axle is a slightly more sophisticated material, and this part can be recycled, so the cost is not high.

The 2000 men were dispatched lightly, and all the weapons were loaded on light vehicles. Even if there were bumps and muddy roads, it was difficult to stop the march.After advancing for nearly two hours, the camps of the rebel army were faintly in sight.

At this time, there are many villagers working on the ground around the camp, and they naturally found the Huainan army appearing in the wilderness. They let out a roar that was almost mournful, and no matter men, women, old or young, they all flew back to the camp and tightened the wall. It was closed tightly, and a large amount of sundries were piled up behind the fence and earth dam, in order to prevent the army from invading.

Generally speaking, these villagers are not too nervous. The Huainan Army had also been here before when they withdrew from Yongqiu. The offensive only destroyed some walls and roadblocks.This made the villagers a little dissatisfied, because it increased their labor burden, and after that, they rushed to repair it day and night for several days before repairing the damaged fortifications.

The Huainan Army kept advancing in the phalanx this time, even when they reached the farmland, they did not disband the formation, and they inevitably trampled and destroyed the well-growing bean seedlings in the field.When the villagers saw this scene, they screamed and roared. You must know that these bean sprouts are their rations, not only to feed the young and old, but also to supply the army. If you leave the country, there is really no way out!
"These thieves were chased and fled by Chen Gong's army earlier when they violated the country. They dare to commit crimes this time. They can't beat Chen Gongxiong's army, so they come to kill the villagers. They really deserve to die!"

The villagers in the camp couldn't help cursing at the sight of the farmland on which their hard-earned livelihood depended was trampled into a mess by the army.These people, they don't know much about Fangyuan, Chen Guang and other generals in the rebellious army are the sky above them, and they don't even know where the intruders come from.Although the military looks more powerful than Chen Guang's, the villagers don't understand military affairs, they only judge heroes by success or failure, and don't think the opponent is so great, otherwise they wouldn't be beaten by Chen Gong to flee and retreat.

Even though the villagers were emotional, they did not hinder the progress of the Huainan Army.Soon, the Huainan Army arrived at a distance of less than ten feet from the edge of these camps, and even the outermost camps were able to see each other's expressions clearly through the wall.At this time, there were naturally signs of troop mobilization in the camp. The soldiers in several camps gathered together, and under the leadership of the captain, they watched the movement of the Huainan army nervously, but they did not rush to the front line to prepare for the camp. .

At this time, the Huainan army also stopped, and the five hundred soldiers on the front line continued to march forward with swords and shields in hand.The people in the camp in front of the camp were even more terrified when they saw this scene, and they fled to their houses and closed the doors tightly, as if this could prevent the catastrophe from happening outside.

"Leave the village without killing!"

Tian Jing walked forward slowly from the Chinese army. At this time, the soldiers of the Huainan Army had already prepared their bows and arrows, waiting for orders to set up.The sound of the short military drums, accompanied by the Huainan Army's shouting of the bugle, made the surrounding villagers even more terrified. Some people couldn't help but jumped out of the village and rushed back, but more people crouched in the bunker with their heads in their arms. After that, he roared and shouted, begging Chen Gong to lead his army to rescue him.

After Tian Jingxing reached the sword and shield battle line, the sound of the military drums stopped abruptly, but there were still a hundred people staying in the camp in front of the Huainan army.Tian Jing's lips were slightly pursed, his Adam's apple was trembling, and he was silent for about ten breaths, then he gritted his teeth suddenly, and shouted violently: "Shoot the arrow!"

Whoop, whoop, tuk tuk...

As if torrential rain was piercing through the forest, there was a rush of chaotic noises, and within a few breaths, thousands of arrows were all splashed into the camp that was no more than ten feet wide in front of him.

After shooting a round of arrows, the Huainan army in the rear drew their bows, and gently moved their right arm, which had been charged to draw the string, and stood silently.As for the front line, hundreds of soldiers with swords and shields climbed over the wall and walked through the camp full of feathers and arrows. Anyone who survived or was not killed by the arrows would step forward and stab them.After a few breaths, there were no more survivors in the entire camp, and the Huainan soldiers who withdrew again had blood on their robes.

"Beasts!"

"Damn the villain!"

"Mr. Chen, help me..."

Many howls filled my ears. After seeing the cruel side of the Huainan army, before the drums sounded again, those villagers who thought they would be safe from hiding in the camp came out one after another, howling to the rear run.

At the same time, there were also Ding Zhuang among the villagers who, under the organization of the villagers, armed with wooden sticks, spears and spears, rushed towards the Huainan army shouting and cursing.

"Those who cross the border die!"

Tian Jing issued another order, but he did not explain where the boundary line was, but immediately the Huainan Army's bow and arrow gave an answer, and any rioters who rushed into the shooting range were immediately pierced by the arrow.

After another few tens of breaths, there was no one within the range of the Huainan army's line.The Huainan army was not in a hurry to advance, but shrank into a tighter formation. The front line of swords and shields retreated to the two wings, while the archers moved forward. A shield wall comes.

At this time, night had fallen, and the Huainan army fired another round of rockets wrapped in hemp and soaked in grease. The camp that had been cleared out before was suddenly engulfed in flames, illuminating the area.

Through the dancing flames, it can be seen that in the depths of the camps, many rebel troops are gathering and coming forward, and the fleeing villagers on the outside were stopped, and then stuffed into the nearby camps.Seeing that our own army has assembled and headed to the front line, the villagers' mood has stabilized, and there is endless buzzing and cursing to vent their anger.

Although the rebel army approached the front line, they did not move forward, and the two sides faced each other across a sea of ​​flames.The Huainan army line started to move first, not going deep into the camps, but continuing to shoot rockets around the periphery of the camps, the shield wall moved accordingly, and soon the few simple camps along this line were all covered by flames, The illuminated area becomes larger.It wasn't until this moment that the Huainan army walked through a slightly larger gap between those seas of fire.

At this time, finally a group of rebels couldn't hold back, howling and rushing towards the Huainan army camp.

"A character, shoot!"

After a heavy drum sound, the front row of the bow array is set up to buckle the strings in three rows, and then retreats sideways, and the rear row steps forward one foot and then stops to buckle the strings and wait for orders.The chaotic army rushing forward suddenly fell down a line and was cut in half. The chaotic army in the back stopped and retreated in horror. Only by fighting against the enemy can we avoid being shot to death.

"kill!"

Soon these rebellious soldiers rushed close to each other, Huainan's front line of swords and shields slashed, and their wings quickly outflanked. , the gathered swords and shields quickly withdrew and ran towards the two wings, while there were nearly a hundred fragmented corpses soaked in pools of blood lying on the spot.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the rebels around them trembled, cold sweat poured out of their palms, and their breathing became rough in an instant.

"The living people are innocent, and if they follow the thief, they will suffer. From now on, all the people who follow the rebel Chen Guang and cause chaos will be killed without mercy!"

The formation of the Huainan army has always been condensed. It is already frightening when it is silent, but it is even more intimidating when it moves.After demonstrating clean fighting skills a few times, although more and more chaotic troops gathered around, no one dared to bully them.Afterwards, the Huainan army continued to shoot arrows and set fire to seven or eight small camps nearby, and then slowly withdrew while maintaining their formation.

His formation took a step back, and the chaotic troops who were confronting each other took a step forward, but they still didn't dare to close the distance too much.Waiting until the Huainan army had completely withdrawn from this area, the rebel army stopped in that piece of bean field, watching the Huainan army drift away and gradually disappear into the night.

"The crowd is only a few thousand. Our army has gathered thousands of people. Why doesn't Mr. Chen fight?"

Seeing the Huainan army disappearing slowly, Yang Zhao looked at Chen Guang with a look of resentment and complained.

After Chen Guang heard the words, he suddenly turned his head to look at the other party, his sharp eyes reflecting the firelight became even more sinister. After a while, the fingers that were clenched tightly on the handle of the knife were slowly released.

　In the new week, please ask for a recommendation ticket. It has been a long time since I asked for a ticket. . .
