Yuan Feng returned to the town and dismissed all the Baodings. They were not from Shibali Fort, so they did not have to wade through the muddy waters. The Baodings were unwilling to leave in every possible way, but Yuanfeng gave the order to die, one by one.
I was dragged back by my parents and elders.
Regarding the matter of disbanding the army, the young and old in the town had no objections. The disaster was caused by their own family, and the villagers were left to bear the responsibility. After a few days, the elders had woken up from their anger and treated the people of Shibalibu
With manpower and material resources, fighting against the government is like mantis trying to control the chariot, and there is no chance of winning.
The efficiency of the officers and soldiers was much higher than before. In just ten days, thousands of troops had arrived in Luyang County, and fodder and food supplies were also piled up. This time Governor Wen spent a lot of money, and it is said that he mobilized tens of thousands of troops.
The army included three thousand cavalry, as well as a large number of catapults, crossbows and other weapons. Chickens were killed with butcher's knives, which shows how deeply Governor Wen hated the Thirteen Taibao.
The people of Shibali Fort did not expect that the government would think so highly of them. They thought they could defeat the invading enemies like they did several times before. However, looking over the fort wall, they saw smoke billowing in the distance, flags covering the sun, and countless officials.
The army was setting up camp, and everyone was dumbfounded.
The Shibali Fort is very strong, but it is not strong enough to fight against the government. After a full attack, the entire fort only has more than 80 strong men. Even if everyone is a refined soldier, how many soldiers can they deal with? This time
I'm afraid that if all the officers and soldiers from Gansu are here, just these few people from Shibalibao will not be able to defend this short fortress wall.
At noon, under the flagpole of Shibalibao, Lao Suntou, Zhang Tuozi, Zhao Tiejiang, Hu Laizi, Chu Muzu, Lin Xiucai and others gathered together. Slowly, others gathered around, everyone
The mood is very heavy and the face is very gloomy. This time is no better than the time of Duyi Dao. This time it is really a disaster. After experiencing so many things, the mood of the people in Shibalibao is different from before. It is no longer the same.
That kind of mentality of a small farmer who has never seen the world.
"Let Brother Feng lead the children away. The sooner we leave, the better. We old men will take care of us in the fort." After speaking, Old Suntou coughed for a while. He was getting older and his body was failing.
"Yes, leave quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave." Elder Zhao agreed.
"If we want to leave together, we must die together. What will you do if we leave?" Zhao Ding'an asked anxiously.
"We have spent our whole lives in Shibali Fort and we can't bear to leave here. Besides, you will be safe if you leave the fort. The officers and soldiers will not be worse than horse thieves and attack ordinary people like us."
Hearing that the elders were so stubborn, even Yuan Feng, who had always been calm, became anxious: "You don't know who is worse, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhang, the court or the horse thieves! We are not just killing the governor's son or anything like that.
There are also hundreds of officers and soldiers in Lanzhou Prefecture. If this feud becomes serious, the officers and soldiers will definitely retaliate wildly."
However, the elders still insisted and refused to flee with them. Neither party could argue with the other, and they finally broke up.
Yuan Feng came to Hu Laizi's horse meat restaurant and wanted to convince the elders through him that the relationship between Hu Laizi and Yuan Feng was extraordinary, so he went straight to the point: "Well, it's not that we don't want to leave, it's just that we really can't leave. This time the officers and soldiers
Our Shibali Fort must be leveled. It is surrounded by four circles. I don’t know how many soldiers and horses there are. How can we, with old arms and legs, run? You young people are different. You can
If you can fight hard, you can escape one by one. From now on, just remember that you are from Shibalibao." As he said this, Hu Laizi's tears fell.
So that's it. Yuan Feng also remained silent. Hu Laizi called Mute Aunt out and said: "Yuan Feng, uncle wanted to marry Mute Aunt to you in two years. Now it seems that it's a little late. Mute Aunt is here."
The child has never had a good life since she was born. Today I entrust her to you. You can **** her and live a good life in the future. Just burn some paper for me during the holidays." After saying this, he handed the mute aunt's hand.
into the hands of Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng's eyes flashed with light as he took Mute Aunt's hand and said to Hu Laizi: "Uncle Hu, don't worry, I will kill all the folks in our town safely!"
…
The officers and soldiers set up camp slowly, seemingly planning to build dikes and encircle them for a protracted war. Governor Wen was not a mediocre person. He had collected all the information about Shibali Fort and arrested several people who had done business in Shibali Fort.
The businessman asked clearly about the various conditions of the fort, including how deep the trench was, how high the fort wall was, and how many green trees there were in the fort. The reason why he did not launch an attack immediately was because he wanted to make things absolutely foolproof and not let anyone go.
People slipped through the net because he also heard that the people of Shibalibao were not easy to bully, and there had been several cases of defeating more with less.

The officers and soldiers were assembling something with thick wood in the open space. Countless mules, horses and carts were transporting something here from the Heishan Gorge. Yuan Feng stood on the fort wall and observed the heavy loads with a telescope imported from the Western Regions.
When I saw the deep ruts in the large carts, I couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that these carts were loaded with stones pulled from the mountains, and those thick timbers were actually made of Huihui cannons!
In order to take revenge, the army even dispatched the ultimate weapon, the return artillery. This weapon invented by the Arabs is extremely fierce. Dozens of them can be powerful at the same time. Even in a big city like Lanzhou Prefecture, they can smash them to a level and deal with them.
Shibali Fort does not need such heavy weapons at all, and Governor Wen actually took out the stuff from the bottom of the box. The only explanation is that Governor Wen planned to use stones to flatten Shibali Fort to vent his endless anger.
Hatred. He wanted the people of Shibalibao to slowly experience the pain and despair of dying, and be satisfied from it.
A large wooden platform was set up in the middle of the military camp, with five-color flags on it. Orders from the army were issued by these flags. Yuan Feng silently paid attention to the enemy's flags. When he saw the red flags waving and heard the beating of war drums,
At that moment, he yelled: "Attack!"
The fort gate opened wide, and hundreds of cows roared out. Each cow had a hemp rope soaked in kerosene wrapped around its tail. The fire burned quickly. The cows were in pain and went crazy. They swarmed away, and the army formed a large formation in an instant.
A gap opens up in between.
In the Chinese army tent, one of the civil servants, Governor Wen, was actually wearing armor and a helmet. He sneered: "Fire Bull Formation! I didn't expect that there are people in the country who understand the art of war."
Although the Fire Bull Formation in Shibali Fort was powerful, the number was too small after all. Some fell down in the ditch, some were shot to death by random arrows, and the rest could not create much chaos even if they rushed into the camp. After all, this
This strategy won't work very well during the day.
"Nothing." Governor Wen snorted coldly and ordered the cannon to be fired, but the messenger reported urgently: "The cannon has been set on fire!"
It turned out that the Fire Bull Formation was just a false shot, and the real killing move was the cavalry mixed in the Fire Bull Formation. These people took advantage of the chaos and poured kerosene on the returning cannon and set it on fire. Governor Wen was furious and ordered to rush to the rescue. All the troops strictly guarded their positions.
, are not allowed to walk around randomly, and those who cannot answer orders will be killed immediately.
Even though Governor Wen is a civilian official, he is quite knowledgeable about soldiers and understands the quality of the troops under his command. Regardless of the large number of people, he will be defeated if there is chaos. Therefore, he strictly ordered not to mess up the position to prevent the enemy from sneaking in and causing chaos.
The move was indeed effective, and within a short time, the position calmed down again.
Yuan Feng was extremely anxious. He had left the Fire Ox Formation for use at night, but he did not expect that the officers and soldiers would respond with artillery fire. He had no choice but to use it first. After all, the Shibali Fort was too small, like a bird covered with poisonous thorns.
It is a small insect, and the army is a huge beast. Although it will prick its claws when crushing this small insect, it will not affect the overall situation. The ending of this battle cannot be changed.
While the sky was still bright, the officers and soldiers finally launched an attack. A battalion of officers and soldiers slowly approached, squatting down in a defensive position every ten feet away. This was to test whether Shibali Fort had long-range weapons.
When they reached the place where they can shoot an arrow, the officers and soldiers opened their bows and fired arrows, and then left. Then another battalion continued to step forward and fire arrows. The sky above Shibali Fort was covered with arrows flying, and there was no trace of arrows flying on the fort wall.
No one could stand around. After the ten battalions had finished firing in turn and the return artillery was repaired, they began to fire the first shell.
A big stone flew over and hit the ground outside the fort wall, throwing up a cloud of smoke and dust. Then he turned back and adjusted the range of his gun, preparing to continue shooting. Yuan Feng anxiously looked at the sinking sun. Breaking out before it got dark would be asking for death.
However, if you stay in the fort and let the army attack you with artillery, bows and arrows, you will die even more cowardly.
Either way, he would die, so he might as well give it a try. Yuan Feng stood on the fort wall and looked back at Shibali Fort. The red flag on the flagpole rolled up and made a sound. Hundreds of villagers under the flagpole looked at him eagerly. Yuanfeng gave
I have been surprised by them countless times, and I will not be disappointed this time.
Yuan Feng walked down the fort wall, got on his horse, grabbed a spear from the ground, and shouted: "Attack!" The fort door opened wide, and he rushed out first, followed closely by dozens of armored cavalry, and then behind.
It is the carriage carrying the people.
Seeing someone leaving the fort, the officers and soldiers immediately started making noises. The flags on the high platform were fluttering. More than a dozen troops followed the flags. The large army of people surrounded them from all directions and swallowed up the small convoy in an instant...
The sound of killing outside the fort was loud. Inside the fort, Lao Suntou was sitting calmly in his main room, waiting for the army to come. His health has been very poor in the past two years, and he is afraid that he will not live for a few months. His hometown
It's hard to leave. People who are dying anyway can't afford to live a life of wandering.
"Boom!" The Huihui artillery began to bombard again. The house made of rammed loess was smashed down, and the sky was filled with dust and smoke. The fort wall could not withstand the bombardment and collapsed.
