After waiting for it to be safe and doing some statistics, Wang Yan's mouth twitched and he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage. In such a short time, more than 400 people were lost. But Li Zicheng led his troops and rushed over. Wang Yan didn't want to be underestimated, so he just
He could knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach. "Ahem, General Li, you're late. The man named Zhao has already been beaten away by Wang."
Li Zicheng took a look at the situation around him and sneered secretly in his heart. This Wang Yan was really trying to make a fool of himself. Zhao Shujiao obviously withdrew by himself. Looking at this, I'm afraid he didn't pursue him too deeply and was beaten by Zhao Shujiao.
A meal, right? He understood in his heart, but Li Zicheng would not tell the truth. Instead, he handed over his hand and said: "Brother Wang is both civil and military, so Zhao Zhijiao can only make a sneak attack. If we really fight, it will naturally not be his opponent's."
Wang Yan returned the salute without blushing, but he also knew the sarcasm in Li Zicheng's words, he just pretended that he didn't know, "General Li, King Chuang asked us to attack first, now Zhao is leading the Chen troops to Zhangjiaying Village, you see
......."
Wang Yan looked at Li Zicheng with complicated eyes. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. I, Wang Yan, have been leading troops to fight for a while. It's up to you, Li Zicheng, to attack Zhangjiaying Village next, right? Li Zicheng is quite helpless. Wang Yan is nothing.
Great wisdom, but a lot of little cleverness. As soon as I ridiculed him a few words, he regained his position.
"Chief Wang can take a rest first and wait for the army to gather. Li will take care of the next thing first." Li Zicheng has no intention of arguing with Wang Yan. Zhangjiaying Village will be attacked sooner or later.
Zhangjiaying Village is right at the corner of the official road. At that time, the official road turned here because the terrain of Zhangjiaying Village was high and road construction was inconvenient. Zhangjiaying Village relied on the official road and could be reached with a hand. Over the years, the village relied on this official road.
Dao has made a lot of money. A small village has developed into a small town in ten years. If the peasant army wants to go north, it cannot avoid Zhangjiaying Village. However, Zhangjiaying Village has high terrain, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Li Zicheng led his troops to the outside of the village. When he looked up, his head hurt a little. In just two days, there was an extra earth wall in the village. At this time, heads kept poking out of the earth wall, obviously there were many things hidden behind it.
Fire musketeers and crossbowmen. No wonder Wang Yan suffered a loss here, and it's not without reason.
Li Yan and others stood aside and watched for a long time, but they couldn't think of a good way. The Zhangjiaying Camp is high up and there are few vegetation around it. It can be said that water attack is not effective, and fire attack is not effective. But you can't go around it, as long as you dare to go through it.
If you walk through the pipeline, the people in the wall will shoot you with bows and arrows. Who can bear this?
There was nothing he could do, so he had to attack by force. Li Zicheng lowered his face and said to Lu Weiliang: "Where is Liu Zongmin? Let him lead the troops to fight, and tell him that this is a good opportunity for him to make meritorious service. As long as Zhangjiaying is captured, Wushan was lost before.
The matter can be forgotten, and I will reward you generously."
Now Liu Zongmin has become a famous figure within the Peasant Army. Since arriving in Nanzhili, Liu Zongmin has quickly emerged and grown from the leader of the team to a small leader. Li Zicheng is also very optimistic about Liu Zongmin, so he recommended him to Gao Yingxiang.
Guarding Wushan. But unexpectedly, Liu Zongmin was beaten to pieces by the King of Hell within two days of staying in Wushan. Because of this, Li Zicheng was also ridiculed by others.
Zhangjiaying Village was a good opportunity to avenge his past humiliation. If Liu Zongmin had diarrhea again, Li Zicheng decided to make the man named Liu a team leader again.
After receiving the order, Liu Zongmin naturally did not dare to neglect it. The battle in Wushan a few days ago was really embarrassing, and he had to regain his face no matter what. The injury he suffered in Taojiaying Village was not completely healed.
But Liu Zongmin didn't pay too much attention. In just half an hour, he led more than 2,000 people to the small intersection outside Zhangjiaying Village. Before Liu Zongmin could rush up, he heard a loud roar and saw a big man waving a big knife.
He jumped right down.
The big man was followed by about a hundred people, but they were extremely excited and murderous. Those people rushed very fast, and seemed to be able to rush out of the village to fight. Liu Zongmin was shocked to see what he said.
?Shouldn’t you be guarding next and I’ll attack? Why did you suddenly rush out to save yourselves? Before you could say anything, someone behind you already screamed, "Ah... I know him, that guy
It’s Zhao Shujiao..."
The face of the speaker changed drastically, and his calves were trembling. Liu Zongmin's heart trembled, and his expression became much more solemn. He had heard of Zhao Shujiao's name before. This man was a famous Liaodong warrior and a former peasant.
The army often suffered losses at his hands. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ledjiao had led his men to kill him. Although Liu Zongmin was injured, he was not afraid and bravely faced him. Liu Zongmin rushed towards Zhao Ledjiao.
Of course, Shu Jiao would not hide. The two of them slashed at each other with two swords. There was a clang and sparks flew everywhere. In just one round, Liu Zongmin felt that his hands were numb, and Zhao Shujiao was also shocked.
Surprised, but Zhao Shujiao didn't stop at all, and he started to swing like a violent storm, with the knife shining at Liu Zongmin's vitals. Zhao Shujiao stood at a high place and struck from top to bottom. He had already occupied a lot of ground.
He had little advantage, and Liu Zongmin was injured and had to deal with it passively. Soon, he couldn't resist. After fighting for a while, he felt pain in the tiger's mouth and blood was oozing from the palm of his hand. Liu Zongmin was really scared now.
, he was already like this, but Zhao Shujiao was so powerful that he became more and more powerful as he got bigger.
He deliberately let the people behind him rush up and relied on the advantage of the large number of people to drive Zhao Zhijiao back. However, the intersection was steep and narrow, which was very dangerous. Liu Zongmin discovered a problem. The people behind him would unexpectedly come up after a while.
If you don't come, if you want to help, you have to go around the side road. However, Liu Zongmin can no longer hold on.
With a clang, Zhao led the sword down hard and fast, and the knife in Liu Zongmin's hand almost fell to the ground. He was horrified, groaned, and took a few steps back decisively. Liu Zongmin really didn't want to retreat, so he just thought
I am taking this opportunity to avenge my embarrassment. If I retreat in despair, General Li will have to peel off Liu's skin.
Seemingly seeing that Liu Zongming was exhausted, Zhao Shujiao laughed, swung his sword in a circle, and pounced on him again, "Liu Zongmin, right? Don't retreat, Grandpa Zhao's sword still needs a few more bowls of blood, ah...
....Come and have a good fight..."
Zhao Shujiao's eyes were like bells and he was as powerful as a tiger. Liu Zongmin secretly cursed his mother in his heart. If he beats him again, his life will really be lost here. Survival is the most important thing right now, so he turned around directly.
He shouted to the people behind him: "Retreat first, retreat to the intersection and reorganize the attack. Let me retreat. Hurry up..." Liu Zongmin was so anxious that he ran too slowly. Others might be fine, but he would probably be led by Zhao.
The teacher chopped off his head. It’s such a bad time. How come you meet such a ruthless character like Zhao Shujiao? Zhao Shujiao really doesn’t guard Zhangjiaying well, but he actually takes the initiative to attack. It’s simply unbelievable and makes people unable to defend themselves.
, who did you learn this trick from? You don’t play according to the routine!
Fortunately, Liu Zongmin's men did not charge too deeply, so they were able to retreat in time. After the order was given, the group of people ran back in a swarm and retreated to the official road in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Zhao Zongmin did not dare to risk his life.
He chased after him, yelled, and quickly returned to Zhangjiaying.
Being tortured like this by Zhao Shujiao, the number of soldiers and horses was not much lost, but the morale of the brothers was greatly affected. Especially Liu Zongmin himself was frightened and could not calm down until now. Anyway, this battle was fought in a confused manner.
Yes, the defeat is even more confusing.
"Get up and prepare everything for me. After a quarter of an hour, we will attack again. This time we all pounce on you. If anyone dares to play tricks behind you again, don't blame me for not recognizing anyone with the knife in my hand." Liu Zongmin became angry and his tone was very cold.
Hard. We must attack Zhangjiaying before Li Zicheng comes. Otherwise, how will he, Liu, survive in the future? He took more than 2,000 people to attack the village. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was beaten into disgrace by about a hundred others.
Everyone is aware of Liu Zongmin's tactics, and he is very strict with those who disobey. In the past, there were a few people who were not active in fighting, but afterwards they were all hanged by Liu Zongmin from a tree and starved for two days and two nights.
Soon, Liu Zongmin organized an attack again. This time he was much more cautious than the last time. Liu Zongmin asked his men to spread out as much as possible, holding a shield in front. Although many of the shields were made of wood, they still had protective capabilities. As expected,
, this time Zhao led the teachings and did not dare to rush out again. When they were less than twenty feet away from the wall of Zhangjiaying, arrows and firecrackers all began to show their power. The sound of clanging sounds continued, but the peasant army was not seriously damaged.
When the fire cannons were fired, most of them left a few black spots on the shields, which did not pose a substantial threat to the peasant army behind them.
Zhao Shujiao frowned when he saw it. If he had the new musket used by Yunfu in his hand, and fired a volley, he would have killed more than ten people. How could he block the bullets with just that kind of wooden shield? Bang bang sound
The sound was heard endlessly, with little effect. Zhao Shujiao waved his hand in annoyance, "Okay, let the musketeers stop. After fighting for a long time, not even a bird feather was hurt. Get the scythe ready. I want to
Invite Mr. Liu to drink a pot of old wine."
By the way, Liu Zongmin is quite proud. This shield snail crawling formation was stolen from the Living King of Hell. At the beginning, everyone really didn't like this style of play. The advancement was too slow, but after suffering too much,
Gradually, I came to understand the benefits of this snail and turtle formation. Slow down, but it is resistant to attack and can minimize the risks of bows and arrows. Liu Zongmin even wanted to get special shield soldiers to build iron shields like the Yunfu infantry.
, Unfortunately, the conditions do not allow it. One iron shield and dozens of silver. If you have this money, you have already divided it. Who will use it to make iron lumps?
If there was an iron shield, I would be afraid of even the new muskets. Seeing that he was about to reach the wall, Liu Zongmin yelled: "Rush up and cut down the coward behind the wall. Zhangjiaying is ours...kill it...
..."
"Ah...kill..." Since the earthen wall was not too high, there was no need for a ladder. Hundreds of peasant soldiers rushed forward in a swarm. Some people squatted down, and others squatted down.
A person can directly grab the top of the wall by stepping on his shoulders. Zhangjiaying's earthen wall was built based on the height difference, and there was no tamping of bricks and stones, which resulted in the earthen wall not being strong.
Liu Zongmin was confident that with just a cup of tea, this earthen wall would definitely be knocked down. Sure enough, not long after, sections of the earthen wall groaned in pain and fell to the ground. Now the attacking peasant army was even more fierce.
Feeling energetic, they rushed up one by one with all their strength. Liu Zongmin did the same. He was about to urge the people behind him to come up quickly, when suddenly his pupils shrank and he saw something in his field of vision.
It was a sickle, but the sickle was enlarged dozens of times, and the left and right sides of the sickle were tied by iron chains. For some reason, Liu Zongmin suddenly remembered what happened in Taojiaying Village. At that time, Nie Yang relied on the sword formation to mow down the scalps of the peasant soldiers.
I feel numb and stunned after carrying it in Taojiaying for three days. The strange scythe in front of me always feels like déjà vu.
Before he could issue a warning, the scythe had already moved. Since the officers and soldiers were standing at a high place, the scythe was lowered and swung directly to the side and downwards. Anyone who was scratched by the scythe would either die or be injured.
A peasant soldier brother couldn't escape, and a large piece of his chest was cut off. His chest was dripping with blood and he screamed in pain.
After the scythe slowed down, a dozen officers and soldiers on the other side pulled hard on the iron rope. The scythe instantly sped up a bit and continued to sweep forward. Along the way, they killed and wounded peasant soldiers and splashed countless dust.
For a moment, the huge scythe swayed left and right under the control of the officers and soldiers, like a pendulum, but this pendulum was very deadly. A big man did not believe in evil and thought he could escape. In the end, his body was scraped by the scythe, and his whole body was injured.
Cut in half. After being split in half, he did not die immediately. The half of his body where the head was was still twitching. Blood, internal organs and intestines were lying on the ground. The people around him gasped and couldn't bear it.
Stay back.
Liu Zongmin lamented that his life was miserable. Who was he provoking? When fighting Taojiaying, he met the geek Nie Yang. When fighting Zhangjiaying, he met the tiger Zhao Shujiao. At this point, Liu Zongmin had no choice.
They could only leave more than two hundred corpses behind and retreat in despair. When they returned to the official road, they saw a few more people in the command post.
Liu Zongmin stopped immediately. He didn't know what to say to Li Zicheng, but this time he really couldn't blame Liu. After thinking about it, he walked over and said, "General, my subordinates are fighting.
If you are not effective, please ask the general to punish you. But... Zhao Shujiao is too difficult to deal with, and Zhangjiaying is difficult to fight..."
Li Zicheng shook his hand and stopped Liu Zongmin's words, "Okay, you don't need to explain. The general and all the leaders have seen what happened. I really don't blame you this time. But... there is obviously no good way.
Against that scythe, you are still pushing for an attack. This is your fault, and you should withdraw immediately."
Liu Zongmin felt bitter in his heart. When he looked at Li Zicheng, his eyes were a little aggrieved. I also want to retreat, but am I afraid of being punished by you?
