Outside the city, Zhen Sanguan was watching the battle with a telescope under a willow tree. When he saw that the city gate was open but could not be attacked, he stamped his feet angrily and shouted: "Don't retreat, keep attacking!"
Soon, a group of bandit troops roared and attacked the city gate again. However, after hearing a fierce exchange of fire, only a few people in the attacking team of dozens of people retreated hastily. This scene shocked the entire city and made teeth grind.
There was a click, and he waved his hand fiercely: "Keep rushing!"
"Commander!" The leader of the bandit army rushed over from the position under the city and shouted urgently: "I asked the brothers who retreated. The people guarding the city gate were officers and soldiers. They built a fortification inside the city and used machine gun fire to block the city gate.
After being crucified, the brothers will not be able to rush forward."
Zhen Sanguan had a gloomy face and waved his hand to indicate that he understood. He had already experienced the power of this group of officers and soldiers. The city gate was too small to launch an attack. Failure was normal, but he did not feel depressed. The city gate was difficult to attack.
, but the city wall cannot be defended everywhere, so he immediately selected the place on the city wall where the main attack would be a feint attack, and ordered the ants to attack the city.
The feint attack direction was on the east side of the city wall, where the city wall was the shortest and the battlements were incomplete. The bandits assembled more than a dozen machine guns and fired wildly to suppress them. The defenders on the city did not dare to show their heads. At this moment, the bandits took the opportunity to shout
The sound of killings surged down the city like a tide. They put temporary ladders against the city wall and climbed up the city one after another. They were as dense as ants. The bandits climbed to half the height of the city, and the machine guns under the city were covered.
Afraid of hurting their own people, they all stopped shooting. At this time, the defenders dared to stick their heads out and fight back. For a time, bullets were raining down on the city. The bandits on the ladders were constantly hit by bullets and fell, and the city was also filled with bullets.
People kept getting shot and fell down, and in just a short while, the city was already littered with corpses and filled with gunpowder smoke.
Han Baihang had seen the fierce offensive of the bandit army, and he calmly deployed his troops and generals. In fact, the siege operation was just a waste. Fortunately, the troops in the city were slightly more generous after his echelon deployment, so there was no need to worry about the bandits being able to enter the city.
, but he was used to being cautious in fighting. When he saw such a desperate attack by the bandits, he had doubts in his heart. When he mobilized troops to reinforce the east wall, he left more than a hundred people on standby.
Just when a fierce battle was going on on the east wall, he suddenly heard the sound of gunfire like exploding beans coming from the west wall. Han Baihang was startled and rushed over to take a look. He saw a group of bandit troops fighting fiercely on the west wall.
The good cloud ladder climbed up as quickly as an ape. It can be seen that this bandit army is very elite. They are all armed with short rifles and quick rifles. The defenders on the city could not resist it. Soon the bandits rushed onto the city wall and started a melee.
.
"Don't panic!" Han Baihang shouted a stabilizing military order and quickly sent out his reserve team for reinforcements to defeat the bandits. However, this group of bandits was really powerful and their marksmanship was so accurate that the reserve team of hundreds of people was beaten back.
.
Seeing this scene, Han Baihang was unambiguous and rushed over with his guard. His guard had two squads, a fifteen-man pistol squad equipped with two twenty-ring box cannons, and a fifteen-man machine gun squad.
Equipped with a 30-ring flower trap, they were all the best of the best. As soon as they came into contact with the bandits who boarded the city, bullets flew everywhere. After paying the price of more than ten casualties, the bandits on the city were killed.
After killing them all, he led his guards to defend the city together with the defenders, without giving the bandits a chance to board the city. After a fierce battle between the two sides for half an hour, the bandits saw that there was no hope of attacking the city and retreated like an ebbing tide.
After repelling the bandits, the defenders cheered and sat on the ground tiredly to catch their breath. As the commander, Han Baihang had no chance to rest. He led the guards to patrol the city wall, condolences to the injured defenders, and walked around in a circle.
I had been sweating profusely for a long time. When I returned to the city wall, I saw Mei Changyuan, who had disappeared during the fierce battle, reappeared. He was leading people from the county government to serve porridge and rice to the defenders, which won a round of applause.
Han Baihang knew that Mei Changyuan was trying to buy people's hearts. He simply said hello and sat down casually on the ground. He leaned against the wall pillar and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, his nose smelled a fragrance. He opened his eyes and took a look.
, but saw Mei Changyuan handing over a large bowl of meat with a smile. Seeing that he had woken up, he said, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Han. Come and have something to eat."
Han Baihang sat up, took the bowl of meat in front of him, took a deep sniff, and said with a smile: "Dog meat, good stuff!"
Mei Changyuan said with a smile: "I killed the black dog that was guarding the county government office and gave it to the brothers as a tooth-beating sacrifice."
Han Baihang was stunned. He had seen the black dog in the county government office. It was a very humane dog. He would tease it every time he went there, but unexpectedly it became a meal. He casually said: "What a good dog, kill it."
What a pity it is."
Mei Changyuan smiled and said: "It's a pity, I wanted to kill it a long time ago."
"Why?" Han Baihang asked curiously.
Mei Changyuan said meaningfully: "What's the use of keeping a dog that doesn't bite or protect its owner?"
Han Baihang raised his eyebrows, laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad."
…
After repeatedly attacking the city to no avail, Zhensanguan became extremely violent. The reason why his bandit name was Zhensanguan was because after leading his men to mutiny and become a bandit, he once defeated three counties in northern Anhui in two days.
He was so powerful that the officers and soldiers did not dare to fight with him, but today he suffered a big loss in a small Yongcheng. This made him very angry, and he gritted his teeth and vowed to capture the county town no matter what.
But his men were extremely frustrated. They were exhausted from two days of siege operations, and their morale was low because their baggage was burned. Everyone could see that Yongcheng was a tough nut to crack, and it was still uncertain whether they could capture it or not.
Suddenly, someone backed down and cautiously suggested: "Commander, instead of attacking Yongcheng, it's better to attack Zhecheng again. Let's make a fortune and return to the mountains."
It's not that Zhen Sanguan has never thought about abandoning Yongcheng and not fighting, but he knows that banditry depends on the strength of the gun and the reputation. How does fame come from? It is to make people afraid. Longshan can only gather a few thousand troops.
, but what makes the officers and soldiers surrender is the reputation they gained in the past. If Yongcheng cannot be defeated today, others will have the idea that Longshan can't be defeated. Then trouble will come, and officers and soldiers will come to encircle and suppress them. In the past,
The county town that is allowed to be slaughtered will also learn from Yongcheng to resist tenaciously. In that case, Longshanji will not be far away from defeat.
"no!"
Zhen Sanguan glared angrily and scolded the person who suggested it, and said sternly: "Yongcheng must be taken. If anyone dares to mention giving up again, I will chop his head off."
Seeing this, the subordinates did not dare to say anything. They could only nod in a silent manner, and went to prepare for the next attack. However, the bandits' attack had lost the vigor of earlier, and they continued to attack until dusk without making much progress.
Seeing this, Zhensanguan knew that continuing to attack the city would be nothing but a waste of time, so he ordered his troops to retreat and let the bandit soldiers bury the pots to make food. After a good meal, they planned to try to steal the city again at night.
…
On the city tower, Han Baihang held up his binoculars and looked at the smoke and fire outside the city, where the bandit soldiers were busy cooking. Knowing that the fighter plane was coming, he immediately sent people to secretly assemble the elite to prepare for a sneak attack out of the city.
