Yang Fan also breathed a sigh of relief. Ludan and the others had secretly prepared the boat just now. If they couldn't hold on, these bastards would definitely pick themselves up and drag them to the boat as soon as possible, and then return to Dongshan Camp.
I know exactly what they are thinking.
In their view, this hundred-household residence belongs to the emperor and the court, and whether they die or not has nothing to do with them. But the master belongs to them, and they and their descendants still rely on the Yang family for a living.
They carried this very clearly.
Yang Fan would never leave. He would not abandon the army and the people and escape on his own. After spending so much time, Mo Zhu and Lv Dan knew Yang Fan's character quite well. They decided to take the master away forcibly if it didn't work out.
The sandbags in the city cave of the south gate were removed, and a squadron of new recruits ran out of the city. This is the third squadron of Shangzi Camp. The officers inside are all veterans, and half of the soldiers are veterans.
They began to clean up the corpses outside the city, stabbing those who were still alive with gun tips. Those who were already dead were removed from the barbed wire fence. There were more than 500 corpses, and there were ten piles of corpses, neatly arranged in rows horizontally and vertically.
They placed it on the firewood. Then they poured kerosene on it and threw a torch.
The corpses burned fiercely on the battlefield. They burned until midnight and were extinguished one by one. The corpses had been burned into gray-white ashes. With the strong autumn wind at night, they were blown away between the sky and the earth, leaving no trace.
The soldiers on both sides watched silently. Each had their own feelings in their hearts.
That night, Yang Fan killed pigs and sheep again and gave extra meals to all the soldiers.
There are also barrels of rice wine. Drinking some wine in moderation is good for relieving people's tension.
"Is it difficult to kill the enemy?" Yang Fan asked loudly.
"It's not difficult" shouted the soldiers who climbed the city wall today.
"Yes, as long as you don't panic, the one who dies will be your enemy. Whoever is afraid will die first," Yang Fan said. "After a while, you will be rewarded with a meal."
"Okay, okay, thank you sir," the soldiers shouted with red faces and thick necks after drinking wine and gnawing on the roast mutton.
There were 500 people defending the south gate today, and nearly 570 enemies were killed. Almost everyone had results. Some of the outstanding ones had outstanding results. Zhao Shuigen emptied two barrels by himself, with 18 rounds.
bullets, killing 16 enemies, and the slogans he called out to the fellow villagers at the last critical moment, turning the tide of the battle. Two meritorious deeds were rewarded together, and he was directly promoted two levels in a row and became a gang leader.
In addition to promotions, there are also rewards. A bandit received five guan of gold. This time, he was rewarded with a total of 80 guan of gold.
Pay on the spot.
The soldiers' eyes were red.
The other 312 people who achieved results in battle were all rewarded.
The soldiers who were not assigned to go up the city wall today were extremely anxious and wished they could go up the city wall tomorrow.
The next day was peaceful and the enemy did not attack.
Yang Fan guessed that they were working hard to make siege weapons.
There was no attack for three consecutive days and everything was calm.
Yang Fan did not waste these three days to train the new recruits in shooting and participated in stabbing training.
Yang Fan downloaded the bayonet stabbing technique diagrams from various countries and briefly sorted them out. Based on Japanese and later rabbit techniques, he selected ten basic movements and stepped up training to prepare for hand-to-hand combat in case of need.
Three days later, a new attack finally began.
In the distance, bandits pushed a small wooden house with four wheels and came slowly. There were also trebuchets that slowly pushed over. There were also rams with wooden roofs that had evidence and were also pushed slowly.
come over.
Yang Fan looked at the new wave of offensive outside the city and curled his lips and said, I have everything you have.
Later, twenty small trebuchets and one large trebuchet were also erected in the city.
Come on, let's hurt each other,
Who is afraid of whom?
Each small trebuchet on Yang Fan's side has fifty people responsible for pulling the cable. A total of one thousand recruits and strong men are assigned to do this. They can't do anything else, but they are more than enough to do this.
A large number of bandits and bandit infantrymen rushed up behind them again. The Tatars wanted to start the old trick of throwing arrows into the sky while marching.
But they didn't know that Yang Fan's large trebuchet had a far greater range than their bows and arrows, and they couldn't hit Yang Fan's trebuchet operator.
There are ten people in each of the two rollers, running desperately to wind up the counterweight box, and the counterweight box rises little by little. The stone weighing ten tons rises little by little in the box. The huge 15-meter-high
The end of the rocker arm was placed on the ground, and the net bag made of barbed wire was filled with a full 150 kilograms of pebbles. More than a hundred pebbles.
After passing the siege vehicles in front, three large phalanxes of Tatar archers entered the shooting range. At this time, they were still two hundred meters away from the city wall.
"Put it down!" Mo Zuo roared angrily.
The huge trebuchet counterweight box fell suddenly, and the ten-ton counterweight hit the ground hard. If it hadn't been made of steel wire, it would have been broken long ago. The rocker arm suddenly swung forward, and after reaching the highest point,
More than a hundred pebbles in the net bag flew up all over the place, turning into a black dot in the sky.
Then they fell densely into a large group of 500 archers. At this time, they had not reached within 150 meters. They had to be the last row to enter 150 meters before they could launch a projectile against the city wall.
Although the pebbles only weighed about one kilogram, they fell from a height of up to two hundred meters. Not to mention the triple armor, even the plate armor was flattened.
Puff! Puff! After a sound, the Jiannu archer who was hit directly shot out a blood mist. In order to increase the hit rate, the bow and arrow shot were shot in a dense formation. This bag of stones was flicked down, directly destroying the formation.
They were all scattered. Some of those who were hit were smashed to pieces, some were holding their stumps and wailing, and some were running away. The other two phalanxes were shaken immediately and tended to collapse.
The officers immediately began to suppress them, forcing them to move forward.
The winding time of large trebuchets is particularly long. After firing one round, it takes five minutes to fire the next round. Because the enemy has continued to move forward, the wheels have to be pushed backward to adjust the range.
Seeing that there was no launch in the city, the people outside the city breathed a sigh of relief.
Dozens of siege vehicles have been pushed outside the barbed wire fence. Under the cover of these small wooden sheds, the people inside began to think of ways to break through the barbed wire fence. Some were digging soil underneath, digging a hole from the ground so that people could get through. Some used
Saws and axes chop wood piles, hoping to knock them down.
The situation immediately became critical. If they were allowed to break down the barbed wire fence, they would then fill in the trenches, and then use trebuchets to start bombarding the city walls.
In the end, groups of enemies will swarm into the city. Then there will be fierce street fighting, and then nothing more.
There was a commotion on the top of the city, and shots were fired wildly.
