In the depth of winter, Jiguan Mountain is colder than outside the mountain. The mountain wind blows constantly, which makes the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain suffer a lot.
In the tent, Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and Butcher Chen were warming themselves by the fire while discussing how to conquer Jiguan Mountain.
"Now we have prepared enough ladders. I think we can launch a general attack tomorrow!" Butcher Chen said while rubbing his hands.
Huang Xueren on the side said: "The wooden shields we prepared are still a little short. If we attack tomorrow, I'm afraid the casualties will be relatively large. Their archers are very accurate!"
Butcher Chen said: "I'm afraid, there are so many of us rushing forward, how many people can they shoot with only a few archers? I'm afraid of this, maybe you still want to wait until you can make a hundred and eighty wooden shields before attacking.
?The cucumber vegetables will be cold like that!”
As he said that, Butcher Chen stood up and said, "Those weaklings in Jiguan Mountain will be destroyed if we charge forward!"
When he said this, Butcher Chen's face was full of disdain.
At this time, Fang Dongquan also said: "Jiguan Mountain cannot be delayed any longer. The spies we sent to Black Tiger Village have reported back, saying that the people in Black Tiger Village have been making preparations in the past two days. It is very possible that
Will come to Jiguan Mountain!"
"Now these three families also know that we are going to deal with them one by one, and it seems that they want to join forces!"
Butcher Chen said: "Yes, this is called lip cold..."
Speaking of this, he paused and looked at others as usual, but Liu Bagou was not here at this moment, and even Qian Mengjiu was out to appease the gangsters, so for a while there was no one who could read and write to help.
He picked up the idiom.
Butcher Chen felt uncomfortable holding it in, and Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren also felt uncomfortable watching it.
Half a day later, Butcher Chen continued: "That's it anyway, they won't just watch us kill them one after another!"
As for what Butcher Chen said, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, two illiterate people, didn't know, but they could still understand each other's meaning.
Huang Xueren said: "Of course we can't wait too long on Jiguan Mountain, but we still have to avoid too many casualties!"
Seeing Butcher Chen's expression of disdain again, Fang Dongquan said: "We have to fight, but even if the people from Black Tiger Village and Huang Guishan are to come, it will take several days. We still have a few days, I think."
It’s better to do this. We’ll have another day of preparation tomorrow and launch a general attack directly the day after tomorrow!”
After hearing this, Butcher Chen nodded immediately and said: "Okay, when the time comes, I, Old Chen, will be the first to lead the charge!"
As he spoke, Butcher Chen pointed to the chain armor on his body and said, "With this thing, I dare to charge forward alone!"
Fang Dongquan looked at the chain armor on Butcher Chen's body at this time, and couldn't help but show an expression of envy on his face. During the battle of Luohu Valley, Butcher Chen rushed to the front and accepted Zeng Ziwen's surrender. As soon as Zeng Ziyun surrendered,
Butcher Chen simply took off the chain armor from his body and took it as a trophy.
Later, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren could only look at it and drool!
With a defensive weapon like chainmail, and the people in Jiguan Mountain opposite didn't have any muskets, cannons or other sharp weapons, Butcher Chen really wasn't afraid of their few bows, arrows and swords.
But just because Butcher Chen had chain armor, it doesn't mean that other people also have it. Today, the only chain armor in the Tang Dynasty's royal division is like this.
In addition to the chain armor worn by Butcher Chen, the Tang Dynasty King also seized nearly twenty pairs of cotton armor in Luohu Valley.
Several generals had one piece among them, and the remaining cotton armors were assigned to the twenty or so brave bandits, that is, the twenty or so bandits who followed Butcher Chen to charge every time!
However, apart from these outsiders, the other two hundred or so people in Huangzhushan did not have any armor protection. If they wanted to gain protection during a strong attack, they could only rely on shields.
To this end, Fang Dongquan and the others imitated the tactics they used to attack Shuilong Village, and temporarily made a large number of thick and wide wooden shields. This wooden shield, which is as tall as a person, is not only tall, but also made of raw wood, and is not thin in thickness, making it very heavy.
, it is quite inconvenient to move it by hand.
If this thing is used in a field battle, even in a field battle between two armies, it will have no practical effect. As long as the enemy keeps a certain distance from them and moves more, the person holding this thick wooden shield will have to
Lie down tiredly.
Even offensive and defensive battles between regular armies are of little use, because even if this kind of wooden shield has good defensive capabilities, it can only resist bows and arrows at most, but it cannot resist artillery, fire blunderbuss, and even some giant crossbows.
big.
But it is enough to deal with these bandits in Jiguan Mountain!
Because the people in Jiguan Mountain only have about a dozen archers at most, but they don't have artillery, muskets or giant crossbows.
As long as they rush up smoothly, they can then directly climb up the wall to fight. It is not a big problem to rely on Chen Butcher and other more than 20 armored bandits to fight their way out. What's more, their number is Jiguanshan.
Twice as much as the bandits.
The next day, Fang Dongquan and the others continued preparations for the general attack, mainly cutting down wood to make shields and ladders.
On the third day, the Huangzhushan bandits, who were well prepared, finally began their general attack on Jiguan Mountain!
Before the official attack, Qian Mengjiu followed the example of Liu Bagou before and, as the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, gave a mobilization speech to the soldiers of the three armies of the Tang Dynasty Standing Army.
This speech not only quoted scriptures, but also used a large number of extremely gorgeous parallel sentences to explain in detail the necessity and justice of the Tang Dynasty King's army to attack Jiguan Mountain.
Unfortunately, except for Qian Mengjiu himself, no one at the scene could understand his speech, which lasted for a quarter of an hour and was the most literary in the history of the Tang Dynasty. It was even expected to go down in history!
Anyway, when Qian Mengjiu was talking about it, not to mention the ordinary bandits, even the two bandit leaders Huang Xueren and Fang Dongquan, who claimed to have extraordinary knowledge, lowered their heads in inferiority!
Damn, I really don’t understand!
Normally Liu Bagou and Qian Mengjiu were very formal in their speech, but they could still make a rough guess.
However, this time, all Qian Mengjiu said were words such as, "An extraordinary person is certainly made up of extraordinary people." Even if they were to break it down word by word, Fang Dongquan and the others would not know what he was talking about...
As a result, Qian Mengjiu's words on the temporary wooden platform were dry and passionate, while the more than two hundred bandits in the audience looked dumbfounded. It felt like watching a goddess dance, although they didn't know who she was.
What are you doing, but it feels so awesome.
As the saying goes, you don’t know how powerful you are!
After Qian Mengjiu finished speaking, what Fang Dongquan and Chen Butcher said became much simpler and easier to understand.
Especially Butcher Chen, his words were simple and direct: "You and I will rush up and grab his mother's piece later!"
A group of bandits thought to themselves: Look, these words are like human words. A simple sentence can make people's blood boil, and they want to pick up the knife and rush forward immediately!
And Qian Mengjiu watched a group of bandits being provoked by Butcher Chen, Fang Dongquan and the others with great enthusiasm. He recalled that when he spoke just now, they all looked stunned, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "There is a long way to go.
