Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 116 Liaodong officialdom ([-])

The royal family's private soldiers pulled the ox cart back into the castle and closed the gate of the castle.

Another group of private soldiers pulled a few big stones with bullock carts, pushed the big stones into the depression inside the gate, sealed the castle gate completely, and prepared to defend it to the death.

Taohuayuan Castle is smaller than a powerful manor, but much larger than a mansion. The city wall is nine feet high, which is higher than the walls of ordinary county towns. Inland counties are generally only six to seven feet, and frontier counties are only eight or nine feet.

The entire castle presents an irregular hexagonal shape, and each wall has sharp corners extending, and arrow towers are built on the sharp corners to prevent the castle from appearing defensive dead ends.

The relatively fragile city gate is concave inward, and the triangular horse-faced walls on both sides can be used for cross-shooting.

"kill!"

A group of refugees rushed forward first.

A battle of two hundred private soldiers of the royal family against fifty thousand refugees began.

shhhhhh!
Whoosh!
"what--"

Dozens of arrows concentrated on hitting the young and middle-aged among the refugees.

Because the refugees didn't understand tactics, they simply relied on the number of people to charge without thinking, so the Wang family's archers had a very high hit rate. However, they shot 20 people with [-] arrows, and even [-] of them were shot to death on the spot.

Although the hit rate was high, but there were too many refugees, such a small amount of damage was really a drop in the bucket, and the refugees continued to charge regardless.

There are cliffs on both sides of the castle, and the refugees can only attack towards the sealed gate of the castle.

They didn't have siege equipment, so they could only carry the crude and improvised ladder on the city wall.

boom!
A ladder was erected on the city wall where the city gate was. More than a dozen refugees crowded under the ladder and hugged the ladder tightly to prevent the ladder from being pushed down. Two or three refugees started to climb the ladder with wooden spears in their hands.

The distance of the ladder was just half an arm's length shorter than the city wall, which made it very dangerous for the private soldiers of the Wang family to stick out half of their body if they wanted to push down the ladder with their hands.

Although tools can be used to touch the ladder, but pushing the ladder from top to bottom, the point of force is downward, and it is also difficult to push down the ladder if someone is holding it.

"Are there craftsmen among the refugees?"

Wang Hongyan, who was in charge of guarding the city, was a little surprised. After all, the ladders were not made randomly.

"Golden juice!"

Following Wang Hongyan's command, more than 100 private soldiers of the Wang family poured the boiled excrement water down on the city wall.

However, in order to save feces and water, the golden juice was only poured on the refugees on the ladder, and ignored those refugees under the city wall who were staring at the high wall in a daze.

Gollum!

The fecal water was bubbling hot.

woohoo-

"what!"

The refugee who was climbing the ladder was drenched in golden juice, his face was bloody and bloody on the spot, and his eyes were directly scalded by the feces water. With a scream, he threw down the wooden spear in his hand, covered his eyes with his hands Falling from a ladder.

boom!
"Wow!"

A refugee under the ladder was hit by a refugee on the ladder, and all internal organs were crushed on the spot.

The rest of the pot of excrement water splashed on the heads of the refugees who were holding the ladder, scalding their scalps, and the white skulls were scalded out, and the skulls and feces water merged into one.

The refugees were so panicked that they didn't even help the ladder.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, several private soldiers of the Wang family pushed down the ladder with iron forks.

"what!!!"

puff!
A refugee who had just started climbing the ladder fell to the ground immediately, was crushed by the ladder on his chest, and died after spitting out a mouthful of blood.

There are too few places where the city wall can directly attack, and the surroundings are either cliffs or triangular horse faces.

Apart from being too small, this castle has almost no shortcomings, and it is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"kill!!!"

At this moment, more refugees came, and they rushed forward with improvised wooden shields.

These wooden shields seem to be made after dismantling the door panels of ordinary people's homes.

Because the city wall is too small, it can only accommodate ten ladders to attack at the same time.

The ten ladders are all filled, with more than 100 people holding the ladders at the bottom, and dozens of people climbing up the ladders.

The refugee at the top held the wooden shield with one hand and the ladder with the other.

The refugees who followed held the wooden spear in one hand and the ladder with the other.

But the rest of the tens of thousands of refugees can only stand under the city wall to watch the theater.

It's not that they don't want to attack, there is really no place to attack.

To deal with these refugees with wooden shields, it obviously doesn't make much sense to continue pouring excrement water.

"Fire oil!"

Wang Hongyan directed.

A group of private soldiers carried wooden barrels full of kerosene, and then poured kerosene on the wooden shields and ladders of the refugees.

"ignition!"

Wang Hongyan shouted.

The private soldiers of the royal family threw the torches down.

crackle crackle crackle!

Wooden shields were burned, ladders were consumed by flames.

"Ah!!! Help me—"

There was a sea of ​​fire under the city wall, and hundreds of refugees were burned to death. In the panic, a stampede happened to the refugees, and more than 1000 refugees were trampled to death by their own people.

After the fire stopped, the refugees attacked again.

"kill!"

At the same time, a group of refugees piled up firewood under the city gate and lit it, intending to burn the city gate down.

crackle crackle crackle!

Sure enough, the city gate was burned down, but...

After the city gate was burned down, there was actually another city gate inside, and the city gate inside was still made of stone.

A group of refugees hid between the wooden city gate and the stone city gate. They took shovels and wanted to dig a passage under the stone city gate.

clang--

However, after a bit of digging, it was found that there was no soil under the city gate, and it was all hard stones, which could not be dug with a shovel.

At the same time, several private soldiers of the royal family poured feces and water on the passageway of the city gate.

woohoo-

"what!!!"

More than a dozen refugees were scalded to death by the excrement water, and the other refugees ran outside the city gate one by one.

A group of refugees outside the city wall were climbing the ladder, and the royal soldiers on horseback shot arrows at their backs.

"Uh!"

The refugee who climbed the ladder did not expect to be shot in the back. He held up the wooden shield to defend against the golden juice and arrows on his head, but he failed to defend against the arrows from behind.

……

ten days later

"kill!!!"

A group of refugees finally boarded the walls of Taohuayuan Castle.

A black-eyed, exhausted royal private soldier fought hard.

puff!
Although the refugee was killed by the royal family's private soldiers, there were more refugees climbing up the city wall behind him.

After all, relying on their large numbers, the refugees kept attacking and did not give the private soldiers of the royal family any time to rest and sleep.

During these ten days, more than 2 of the 2 refugees fled, thousands died of starvation and freezing, and thousands died in attacking the city. In the end, only less than [-] people remained.

But the two hundred private soldiers of the royal family guarding the city, although none of them died, they have already exhausted their energy and energy, and the whole person is depressed. Facing the refugees who climbed the city wall, they are already powerless to resist.

"Uh!"

A private soldier of the royal family was killed by refugees who climbed onto the city wall. Because he was too tired, he didn't even have the strength to scream at the moment he was killed.

No one can handle it without a good rest for ten consecutive days.

"They can't do it anymore, keep going!"

The refugees were very excited and rushed to the city wall crazily.

Two hundred private soldiers of the royal family were all killed in the battle, and their bodies were chopped into pieces.

In this battle between two hundred private soldiers and fifty thousand refugees, the fifty thousand refugees won in the end.

Tatata!
The last member of the royal family in the castle, Wang Hongyan, wore heavy iron armor and armored horses.

The gates of the castle have long been sealed, surrounded by cliffs.

The advantage of this is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the disadvantage is that once the city is destroyed, there is no way to run.

Unable to retreat, Wang Hongyan could only charge to the refugees who had entered the castle alone.

"kill!"

Wang Hongyan rushed into the crowd, and Ma Shuo stabbed a small refugee leader in the chest.

The refugees stabbed him with wooden spears, but they couldn't pierce the iron armor at all.

After charging again and again several times, Wang Hongyan had killed more than 30 refugees, but his horse was also tired, and he himself was also tired.

"He's dying, kill him!"

Another small refugee leader came with more than 100 refugees to besiege and kill.

Exhausted, Wang Hongyan got off his horse and threw Shuo, holding a ring sword, and directly fought the refugees in close combat.

clang--

puff!
"what!"

laugh--

Dozens of refugees were killed five or six times, and the rest of the refugees surrounded Wang Hongyan but dared not go forward.

"He has no strength, hurry up!"

The little leader of the refugees urged the refugees to continue going.

"Hehe..." Looking at the hundreds of refugees besieging him, Wang Hongyan half-kneeled on the ground to rest.

The wooden spears of the refugees did not hurt Wang Hongyan's heavy armor at all, but only made Wang Hongyan feel a little pain.

At this time...

Tatata!
An elite refugee general rode an armored war horse and held a lance in his hand, and charged directly at Wang Hongyan.

puff!
Wang Hongyan was pierced by Ma Qiang, the heavy armor was pierced directly, and immediately fell to the ground dying.

"kill him!"

The refugees finally dared to rush forward and chopped Wang Hongyan, who was lying on the ground waiting to die, into a meat paste.
