Chapter five hundred and eighty capture the grain village
He was born without reading half-cursive calligraphy, and he only bought gold to make his life rich.
A young man will grow up to be a young man, and the sea will turn into a mulberry field.
——Excerpt from "Laughing at the Young Man" by Li He (Tang Dynasty)
…
The rebels' trebuchets and crossbows are the most powerful weapons for defending the city.
Several rebel soldiers operated trebuchets and crossbows, shooting stones as big as millstones and iron arrows as thick as arms at the trebuchets and siege engines in Husi Village.
As long as the whistling stones hit the trebuchet in Husi Village, one trebuchet can be destroyed in an instant. Under the attack of the trebuchet on the wall of the village, three of the few trebuchets in Husi Village were quickly damaged.
one part.
Wherever the iron arrows of the crossbow hit, they could penetrate the protective cowhide of the siege vehicle and shoot the rebel soldiers loaded in the siege vehicle, including the vehicle and the people, into skewers.
If the two deadly weapons, the trebuchet and the crossbow, are not dealt with, the rebels will suffer too many casualties.
Bai Fu abandoned the carved feather arrows and drew the specially made iron spiked iron arrows from the arrow pot.
Bai Fu took up his bow and let go of arrows, shooting at a very fast speed, like Nezha with three heads and six arms, shooting arrows in succession.
The iron arrows were already extremely fast, and the loud shouts of killing even masked the sound of the arrows piercing the air. By the time the rebel soldiers noticed it, the arrows had already flown in front of them.
With the blessing of Kan Ding's true energy, the iron arrows penetrated the breastplates and helmets of the rebel soldiers, killing the soldiers operating the crossbows one by one.
When an arrow hit his head, Hu's head exploded and his brains burst out. This scene was like a cold melon falling onto a bluestone slab, shattering into pieces, with red flesh and black spots splattering all over the floor.
This kind of sniper effect of one-shot headshot has great deterrent effect. The rebel soldiers were so frightened that no one dared to approach the bed crossbow again.
Kill the bed crossbowman, then destroy the trebuchet.
The soldiers who controlled the trebuchets of the rebels learned the lesson from the crossbowmen, protected themselves with thick cast iron shields, and continued to use the trebuchets to launch stones.
Bai Fu already had a plan to defeat the enemy. He sneered and walked to the siege crossbow in Husi Village. With a step on his horse and a strong effort with his arms, he slowly pulled out a crossbow that could only be pulled open by eight strong men.
Pull open.
Bai Fu adjusted his crosshair, aimed at the trebuchet on the wall of the rebel stronghold, and kept calm.
Bai Fu slowly injected Kanding's true energy into the iron arrow head as thick as the crossbow's arm.
Bai Fu's use of Kanding's true energy has reached a new level of transforming energy and matter. If you look carefully, you will find that the cold and cold arrow clusters are covered with dozens of water droplets in the blood-letting tank.
"Whoosh!"
Bai Fu shot out an arrow, and the crossbow's iron arrows roared through the air with a harsh sound.
The rebel soldiers operating the trebuchet were horrified. They gritted their teeth and worked together to hold up their cast iron shields, hoping that they could withstand this shocking arrow with their thick shields.
"boom!"
The crossbow's iron arrow penetrated the iron shield and hit the thick throwing rod of the trebuchet, making an earth-shattering noise.
"Crack!"
The huge throwing pole broke with a sound, like a felled metasequoia tree, and fell with a crash, breaking the bones and tendons of the rebel soldiers next to the trebuchet.
Bai Fu followed suit and destroyed all the remaining trebuchets on the wall in less than a cup of tea.
Without the defense of trebuchets and crossbows, the soldiers of Husi Village launched another round of attacks, throwing huge stones into the camp one by one. The rebel soldiers were knocked upside down and bloody.
Several huge rocks hit the stables in the center of the camp. The horses panicked, broke free from the reins and fences, and ran wildly in all directions in the camp, causing the defenders in the camp to run away with their heads in panic.
Among the Hu and Han infantry, soldiers who had just been trained for a year had never seen such a bloody and brutal battle, and they were the first to be unable to hold on. Ignoring the general's orders, they opened the camp gate, lowered the drawbridge, and swarmed to seize the unguarded west gate.
Escape from the road.
Once the west gate was broken, the entire camp's defense system collapsed.
Before the Hu cavalry could rush to the west gate, a cannon fired from the north gate and the north gate was breached. The defenders in the camp panicked and quickly abandoned the city wall and retracted their defenses.
The rebel soldiers of Husi Village shouted and rushed into the camp from the west and north gate mountains like a tsunami.
The defenders in the camp were in complete chaos, scurrying around like headless flies.
…
More than a dozen jailers guarding the dungeon received instructions from the top to execute dozens of prisoners imprisoned in the dungeon immediately.
In the chaos of war, there was no time to carry out the execution. The jailer was in a hurry and poured two barrels of kerosene into the cell, trying to burn down the dungeon with a fire.
The prison head smiled ferociously and shook the fire in his hand, about to light the kerosene. A cold arrow flew silently, as fast as lightning, and hit the back of the prison head's head. The prison head didn't even make a sound, and fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
The fire fold fell, but before it hit the ground, a man flew down from the dungeon door, his body like the wind, holding the fire fold firmly in his hand.
It’s Bai Fu!
Just as Bai Fu was about to shoot the other jailers, Yan Bing, who was following Bai Fu, quickly shouted: "Master Bai, please don't hurt one of our own!"
The three jailors hurriedly came out of the queue, cupped their fists and saluted: "Master, we are the undercover agents of Husi Village. We have replaced the kerosene poured on the ground, so it cannot be ignited!"
Seeing that the situation was over, the other jailers quickly put down their weapons and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
It turned out that after the three lone wolves were arrested, in order to confuse the prison robbers, they were specially transferred from the camp where trebuchets were stored and were imprisoned in the dungeon.
Therefore, Husi Village focused its main attack on the camp where grain and grass were stored.
After destroying the trebuchet and crossbow, Bai Fu sneaked into the camp through the tunnel and jumped out of the well. The undercover lurking in the enemy camp in Husi Village was already waiting at the entrance of the well.
Bai Fu put on the rebel uniform, followed the undercover agent, and took advantage of the chaos to arrive at the prison door. The two of them calmly shot and killed the guarding guards one by one, cutting their throats.
…
The undercover jailer took the key from the cell leader, walked quickly to the innermost cell, and opened the iron lock.
Bai Fu pushed open the cell door and shouted: "Hai Ban, Lao Lang, Lynx! I'm coming!"
"Little White Dragon!"
The four brothers hugged each other tightly, with tears of joy in their eyes.
…
After three rounds of fierce attacks, Husi Village suffered hundreds of casualties, and finally captured the camp where Beiku stored grain and grass.
…
At this time, with Beiku, Qinghe County as the center, a pot of porridge was formed within hundreds of miles.
There is a large lake in Julu County northwest of Qinghe County - Dalu Ze, which is the territory of the powerful Guo family in Julu County. The patriarch Guo Zhaoyan is a descendant of Guo Wei, the minister of Yan State during the Warring States Period.
Guo Zhaoyan received information that a cavalry force of nearly a thousand men from the Dongfu Ting Army, the main force of the Yan Army in Julu County, had assembled and was on its way to reinforce Beiku, Qinghe County.
Guo Zhaoyan was taken aback. The Yan army sent thousands of Dongfu Ting troops to reinforce the attack, indicating that Qinghe County Beiku was under attack and the defenders could no longer withstand it.
Which army took advantage of the courage of a bear's heart and went ahead without saying hello?
It’s definitely not the Tang army! After the defeat of Yecheng, the Tang army was not yet able to regain Hebei Road.
So it should be the rebels from Hebei Province?
As far as he knew, the rebels in Husi Village were the most powerful in Qinghe County.
If it was Husi Village, Shan Yunheng, a mere mountain king, would dare to attack Qinghe Beiku?
You must know that Qinghebeiku was a transit place for Shi Siming's grain and grass supplies on his way south, and it was extremely heavily guarded.
In addition, although the defense of the Yan Army is in the shape of points and lines, the prairie cavalry has a strong rescue capability. Each of its military camps is not defended in isolation. If a camp is attacked, other military camps in the surrounding counties will rush to reinforce it regardless of life or death.
.
Once reinforcements from the Yan Army arrive, Husi Village will definitely not be a match for the rebel cavalry.
But after thinking about it, only Husi Village in Qinghe County has this capability.
Guo Zhaoyan thought to himself, Shan Yunheng and Li E were so dumbfounded that they didn't even say hello, they just started fighting regardless of life and death. Could it be that they wanted to eat Beiku's food alone? Just your copycat, Qianbian
"Youyong", do you have enough troops?
Guo Zhaoyan was a little dissatisfied. He didn't discuss such a big matter as the siege of Beiku with him. These two boys were simply arrogant. Didn't they clearly look down on me, Mr. Guo?
However, Guo Zhaoyan is not a small-minded person, and he will not be happy if he is unhappy. The Husi Village rebels perform chivalrous acts, fight against the rebels, and provide relief to the villagers. They are also heroes of Yan and Zhao, and I admire him on weekdays.
You still have to help. What's more, the rebels passed by your territory to encircle and suppress the rebels. You did nothing. Not only did you disgrace your fellow villagers, but you also made the rebels in Qinghe County laugh.
