Fortunately, it was launched early. The two guards did not know the current situation of their masters, otherwise it would be hard to say whether they could obey the command.
But at least for the moment, they were still working hard to follow Beizhen Fusi's instructions, because Wang Xian offered a start-up fee of ten taels of silver per person for this operation, and for each person beheaded or captured, another additional fee would be paid.
The reward is an additional ten taels of silver. The rewards are cumulative and there is no upper limit.
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. Naturally, the three armies will use their lives and firepower.
But at first, Ji Gang's men were not afraid. Although at first glance, they saw enemies all over the mountains and plains, they had practiced for a long time and defended themselves according to danger. From the map, Baiyun Villa is surrounded by mountains.
Although the mountains near the capital are not high, only about 180 feet high, after Ji Gang merged the five villages leading to the villa from the outside world, Zhuang Fuzi, who was proficient in mechanical science, transformed these villages into five labyrinth-like buildings.
complex fortifications.
Ji Gang's sons are very aware of the power of these fortifications. Because of this, they trust these fortifications so much that they feel that even if they cannot defeat the enemy, they can still kill them all by relying on the fortifications.
Moreover, Ji Gang spent a lot of money to build his own lair. He thought these fortifications were not enough, so he set up hidden forts at strategic points on the periphery, with twenty cannons in each of the five directions. He used illegal means to
The powerful Hongwu cannon obtained by the Shenji Battalion.
With such a powerful multi-layered protection, what else is there to worry about? And everyone in Zhuangzi knows that Ji Gang will not ignore them. Behind Governor Ji is the King of Han. So although the number is much smaller than the other party, Ji Gang's men
Not scared at all
But they forgot the old saying that one would not dare to go to Liangshan without twos and threes. From the day Wang Xianxiang lost Ji Gang, he had been collecting intelligence about Baiyun Villa, especially the defense situation and fortification structure. Although Ji Gang must be on strict guard,
, not allowing outsiders to approach the villa, but Wang Xian can still do whatever he wants after getting a gentleman who is as good as flying over the eaves and walking on the wall...
In addition, Ji Gang never expected that after Chang Sen and others took refuge in him, they would actually collude with Wang Xian behind the scenes. Governor Ji placed people like Chang Sen in the villa, and directly placed the defense map of the villa in front of him
,What's the difference?
The Rangers commanded by Yang Rong have been practicing with Baiyun Villa as the imaginary enemy for almost half a year. Even with their eyes closed, they know where there are traps, where there are traps, and where the impact points of those Hongwu cannons are... The power of Hongwu cannons is indeed amazing.
, but it was too heavy and heavy, and the recoil was too great. Often, when one shot was fired, the gun frame would be shaken to nowhere. In order to solve this problem, Master Zhuang directly fixed the cannon on the turret.
You don't have to worry about recoil, but the cannon can't move either.
So as long as the Prince's Army avoids fixed impact points, they don't have to worry about those terrible Hongwu cannons...
The agents of Beizhen Fusi led the way, and the army followed behind. They bypassed the enemy's carefully laid out fortifications, braved the rumbling artillery fire, and rushed into Zhuangzi from four directions at the same time.
Seeing that the script was different from what they imagined, Ji Gang's men couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but the enemy had already pounced on them with all their teeth and claws. There was nothing more to say. They could only fight with all their might.
A fierce battle finally breaks out. Both sides know that the other side will not show mercy to them. Only by killing the enemy in front of them can they have hope of survival. With this realization, the two armies will fight to the death as soon as they come up, and they will try their best to kill each other.
Traditional swords, guns, bows and arrows, both sides used a large number of powerful crossbows. Although the muskets cannot be said to be the two most elite armies of the Ming Dynasty, they are definitely the most well-equipped.
With the roar of artillery and the rain of arrows, four of the five villages outside Baiyun Villa started life-and-death street battles... Although the Prince's Army had a strength advantage in every direction, it was limited by the terrain.
, unable to deploy its troops, so the battle situation was very stalemate and extremely fragmented...
So a situation like this emerged. Some alleys became overcrowded because of the influx of troops from both sides. Long weapons such as spears could not be used at all. It was even inconvenient to swing swords. Both sides easily put aside their swords.
, using daggers, fists and kicks, fighting, biting, and getting stuck in the neck, and some people were even squeezed to death...
However, in some alleys, only one side's soldiers were looking for the enemy with their eyes wide open. In another adjacent alley, the other side's soldiers were also anxiously looking for the enemy. The two sides turned around, but did not meet each other.
There are also empty alleys. You may not see an enemy at all, but when you rush in with people, you will be ambushed by enemies and shot into hedgehogs...
Of course, on the important ground that the two sides have repeatedly fought for, the main theme is the bloody battle. In the mad laughter of the God of Death, countless fresh lives disappear, and countless fresh lives come up to continue to send the enemy or themselves to the God of death.
…
Even if they were standing on the watchtower in the center of the manor, temporarily far away from the battlefield, Wang Qian and Li Fuchun...the two current top commanders of the manor, could still clearly hear the deafening shouts of killing and miserable screams.
I saw people keep falling down, and people kept filling in. In some key areas that the two sides have repeatedly fought for, the ground could no longer be seen at all. There were only soldiers who were selflessly fighting, and mutilated corpses all over the ground...
Blood flowed into a river, dyeing the entire outside of the villa red, and also made the eyes of the two people red.
"Dongcun can't hold it anymore." Wang Qian loudly ordered: "Draw people from Zhuangzi to support."
"Lao Wang can't do it. Most of the troops have been sent out, and there are less than a thousand people left in Zhuangzi." Li Jiachun advised: "What should we do if they break through?"
"What should I do? If we are defeated like a mountain and they really want to break through, it will be useless even if you have ten thousand people." Wang Qian is different from most of Ji Gang's party members. He has been on the battlefield and fought with the Mongols, and he usually feels like this in his heart.
Secretly looking down on Li Fuchun, Xu Yingxian was a waste just by slapping his beard. At this time, he showed his disdain directly on his face: "Hurry, send 300 people to support."
"No." Seeing Wang Qian's disdain, Li Fuchun became angry and said loudly: "These soldiers and horses are useful. Without my order, no soldier can be transferred out of the village."
"Should I listen to you or to me?" Wang Qian glared at him and touched the hilt of his sword.
"It's true that you are the superior, but I have a secret order from the Governor." Li Fuchun also held the hilt of the sword and stared back at Wang Qian like a bull: "Everything is focused on guarding that person. If necessary, we can make a decision on the spur of the moment."
"You" Wang Qian glared at Li Fuchun, but he understood in his heart why the governor asked Li Fuchun to guard Jianwen, because he was a stubborn man. From the corner of his eye, Wang Qian saw that the guards on both sides were at war with each other.
Internal strife was about to break out... He knew that while the soldiers were fighting at the front, while the generals were fighting at the rear, there would be only one result, and that would be a crushing defeat. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said: "
So what do you think we should do? East Village has been breached, how can we defend ourselves?"
"Brother Wang, don't worry." Seeing that Wang Qian softened, Li Fangchun also hurriedly stopped and pointed to the south and said: "Look, there is no movement over there in Nancun."
"Not bad." Wang Qian nodded.
"Isn't this the so-called encirclement of three and one missing? Of course, in our case, it means surrounding four but one missing." Li Jiachun said: "Since they don't plan to attack from Nancun, why don't we allocate troops from there.
"
"No." Wang Qian shook his head and said, "What if the enemy is waiting for us?"
"We're just going to draw a few hundred people, it doesn't matter." Li Fuchun said, "Hurry up and give the order, we really can't hold on."
Wang Qian saw that at least half of the East Village side was in the hands of the enemy. If he didn't send reinforcements to cheer them up, he was afraid that they would be defeated like a mountain.
"Okay, send three hundred people over." Wang Qian gritted his teeth and said.
Three hundred soldiers and horses were mobilized, and the East Village was finally stabilized, but the situation in the west was tight again. There was no way around it. After all, the Prince's Army had the numerical advantage, and in street fighting, the martial arts masters from Beizhen Fusi could
It exerts a strong arrow effect. Seeing that there are such masters on one's side, the morale of the Prince's Army is naturally boosted, and seeing that the opponent has such masters, Ji Gang's army is naturally frightened... After being captured in the central flat of the West Village, Ji Gang's army
They all shrank to the east end of the village, where they fought stubbornly.
"Oh, the west side is going to be unbearable again," Li Fangchun shouted from the watchtower.
"Send another three hundred people over..." Wang Qian was much happier this time. Human beings, the first time is always more difficult. After the first time, there won't be so many obstacles the second time.
The West Village side has just managed to withstand it, but the Southeast Village side is in trouble again.
"Hurry up and transfer more people," Li Jiuchun urged Wang Qian.
"What the hell, there are only 400 people left. Do you want the south gate to be opened?" Wang Qian grabbed Li Jiuchun and said, "You still refuse to send troops for reinforcements?"
"Hey... ok..." Li Fuchun knew that no eggs could be left unbroken after overturning the nest, so he had no choice but to ask the defenders of Baiyun Villa to send two hundred troops to support the southeast direction. Although there were only two
Hundreds of people, but they are the most elite warriors secretly trained by Ji Gang. These people are all dressed in black, holding long black swords and wearing ghost masks. They are called the "ghost army" and are Ji Gang's last trump card.
As soon as the two hundred ghost army joined, the defeat in the southeast direction was immediately reversed. Seeing these black sword warriors in black clothes and ghost faces coming to help, the morale of Ji Gang's army was greatly boosted. On the other hand, the prince's army was frightened when they saw the ghostly appearance of the black sword warriors.
I was so frightened, not to mention that the black sword samurai were all surprisingly skilled in swordsmanship. As soon as they came up, they killed and injured more than a hundred prince soldiers like melons and vegetables. The officer in charge saw that something was not going well and quickly blew the trumpet to retreat.
, the prince's army hurriedly retreated in a hurry.
Ji Gang's army took advantage of the situation to attack, regained the lost ground in one go, and drove the Ming army out of the village.
"He is indeed the governor's trump card." Seeing this, Wang Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief since the war started.
