Guo Junzhen and Hao Yaoqi carefully selected thirty capable soldiers from the Little Tiger Squadron, and Gao Yigong and Bai Wang also gave them the command of the twenty most skilled guards among their own soldiers.
It was a general custom that before this kind of death squad went into battle, they should drink a bowl of death-defying wine before leaving. But the battle was fierce at this time, and Li Laiheng was afraid that Yu Dazhong would come back and miss the opportunity to fight, so he kept everything simple and let Guo Junzhen and Hao Yao
This surprise attack team set off as soon as possible.
The leaders of the team are subordinates of Li Hao and Pu Xiang. Both of their villages have stayed in the Xiong'er Mountain area for a long time. In particular, Pu Xiang, the real person, has personally visited Pingfeng Village several times to send "tributes" to Yu Dazhong.
", are very familiar with the geographical situation here. They all selected old people from their personal entourage who had been to Pingfengzhai many times to serve as guides for Guojun Town.
There are several paths near Pingfeng Village that lead directly to the village through the mountains on which the walled city is located. This is no secret.
It is precisely because this is not a secret that Yu Dazhong may have thought that the coalition forces would not attack through these lanes at will when the frontal battle situation became intense, so he transferred his troops to the frontal front.
For this reason, Li Laiheng also agreed to Guo Junzhen's request before setting off, and ordered the main force of the coalition forces to launch a larger and more intense general attack on the front of Pingfeng Village as a containment.
Guo Junzhen's clever strategy was not based on Dazhong's entrustment and stupidity to completely ignore the small road. It was based on the fact that the main force of the coalition forces could attack through the front of the village wall and contain all Dazhong's reserve forces, so that
Yu Dazhong no longer has any extra troops to defend the secondary line of defense!
This also means that Guo Junzhen's surprise attack strategy does not mean that the frontal front can be relaxed. On the contrary, in order to cope with his strange plan, the coalition forces must also launch an unprecedented fierce offensive on the frontal front.
"Everyone, leaders and village leaders, should be very clear to you, right? Victory or defeat depends on one move. If we continue like this, the situation will inevitably change. If the attack on Pingfeng Village fails, then Yu Dazhong's fate in Xiong'er Mountain will
Authority and hegemony may be revived and restored, and the resistance coalition we have put together may collapse.”
Li Laiheng took out the tiger-headed waist sword from the scabbard. He rarely changed the felt hat in the shape of a Fanyang hat, put on an iron helmet, and said decisively: "When the time comes, all the heads and heads of the house, who is confident that he can carry it?"
Yu Dazhong's revenge? If you want to continue to hang out in Xiong'er Mountain and don't have to worry about Pingfenzhai anymore, the only way is to follow us into the camp and break Pingfengzhai!"
With a bang, Li Laiheng cut off a chopping board with his waist knife. Gao Yigong and Bai Wang also immediately unsheathed their weapons, and the sound of gold and stone filled their ears. Li Hao, Pu Xiang and other village leaders also knew what was going to happen next.
The battle will determine the final outcome of this battle. Although everyone still had some hesitation in their eyes, they finally followed the generals of the invading army and unsheathed their weapons.
"I would like to follow Mr. Li and break the screen village!"
It was already past noon. The coalition forces had been attacking the stronghold for several hours since dawn, but so far they had not made any major breakthrough. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and their morale was also very affected, especially those other than those who broke into the camp.
The copycat soldiers are not as resistant to fighting as the soldiers who broke into the camp, and they are even more depressed at this time.
Li Laiheng knew that this time it was really said that "victory or defeat depended on one move." If this strong attack combined with the surprise attack could not achieve a decisive breakthrough, then the army would be overwhelmed by the fortification of the city and its morale would be low. Instead, it might be defeated by the enemy.
Zhong Chuzhai counterattacked and defeated!
The situation was not optimistic. Li Laiheng raised his head and saw thick clouds drifting across the sky, covering half of the sun. He calmed down, waited for a while, and finally waved his hand to issue the general attack order.
In order to cover the Sword Team that was climbing close to the wall, Fang Yiren and Li Shiwei commanded the Bird Gun Team to fire fiercely at the wall. Fang Yiren, a scholar from an aristocratic family who was unwilling to fall into the Little Tiger Team,
At this time, his face was blackened by the thick smoke from the burning gunpowder, and one of Li Shiwei's shoulders was injured by an exploding bowl-mouth blunderbuss.
One of them was originally a nobleman and the other was a rice farmer, but now they stood together and controlled firearms to attack the stronghold. It must be said that it was a strange sight.
Fang Yiren calibrated the young general's cannon very accurately, but unfortunately the Pingfengzhai defenders were condescending and had a greater shooting advantage. They counterattacked with more intense firepower from top to bottom, making it difficult for the bird cannon team to obtain a good battle.
Position and shooting boundary, one shot hit the wall of the village.
However, the scattered shooting of the musketry team and the fact that they attracted most of the defenders' firearms were extremely effective.
In addition to the musketry team, the coalition archers also rushed forward for two rounds, then stood at the top of the wall and fired arrows fiercely. Under the suppression of firearms and bows and arrows, the defenders on the wall suffered some casualties from the arrows.
They didn't hide behind the wall stacks and gun holes, and didn't dare to poke their heads out, so the bricks, stones, and thunderbolts they threw were not very accurate against tens of thousands of enemies.
"Let's fight!"
This time, Li Laiheng did not dare to ask Da to continue posing in his felt hat. He fastened his iron helmet tightly, waved his saber, and charged forward with his troops. Since Li Laiheng had already charged into the battle in person, Gao Laiheng
After a successful attack, Bai Wang naturally followed suit. Although the remaining village leaders were very reluctant, under the pressure of the situation, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and rush forward.
The fragments after the explosion of Liu Ya and Zhen Tian Lei flew past Li Laiheng's side and face, and the scorching air almost scorched his hair. It had been a long time since Li Laiheng had been at the forefront of fighting for his life. But.
He also knew that in order to serve as a leader among the rebels, he must have the courage to take the lead at all times.
Think about Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. When they died in battle, they were kings with more than 100,000 troops, and they were still at the forefront!
Fang Yiren's artillery calibration was indeed very accurate. A small general cannon sent at least three or four kilograms of stone bullets to the wall of the village. There was only a loud noise that shook the earth, and the stone bullets broke out a piece of the wall of Pingfeng Village.
The gap collapsed. Many village soldiers were hit by stone bullets. Some had their heads separated and were killed immediately. Others had a leg or an arm broken by stone bullets and were lying in a pool of blood, wailing.
"Fuck it, go for it!"
The young general Zhang Pili was the first to discover the fighter plane created by the Bird Gun Team. He moved very quickly and immediately led a dozen soldiers to rush to the gap regardless of their lives. Zhang Pili's charge drove the crowd of the coalition forces.
This caused everyone to rush towards the only flaw.
The defenders had very few troops at the gap in the wall. They were suddenly attacked by the coalition forces and could hardly withstand it. Li Shiwei ignored Fang Yiren's strong objections and led the soldiers of the Bird Gun Team, braving the firepower of the defenders.
They moved forward several positions to provide better fire cover for the attacking troops. Although there were door panels and rattan shields for defense, the musketry team still suffered heavy casualties. Even Li Shiwei himself was injured and was interrupted by lead bullets.
finger.
The defenders of Pingfeng Village were suppressed by the gunfire team's firepower at all costs. They could hardly raise their heads and found it difficult to reinforce the gap. Yu Dazhong was anxious. Although Pingfeng Village had two walls, both sides' forces were currently being used.
At the limit, if the first wall is lost, the morale of the defenders will collapse!
He brought a group of cronies to act as a supervising force, threatened to behead the leader, and forced the soldiers to rush towards the gap under the firepower of the cannon team.
Yu Dazhong looked at the gap in the defense line with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious face. He shouted loudly: "I, Yu Dazhong, will die here! Whoever dares to fucking run away will die here with me!"
After all, he was one of the three major bandits in Henan who was famous in Zhongzhou. He was so ruthless that he didn't even care about his own life, let alone the lives of his subordinates. Yu Dazhong's armor was stained with blood and looked very torn. His hands
He slashed three or four more deserters to death with the sharp-edged knife on his head, and then he led his trusted team of supervisors to rush to the gap.
Yu Dazhong was extremely tall, and his physique was only half that of Hao Yaoqi. He was honored as the leader of Pingfeng Village, and personally led his troops to block the gap, which somewhat boosted the morale of the defenders and doubled the courage of the soldiers, who were about to collapse.
Their morale was also restored by Yu Dazhong.
Some people threw bricks at the gap, some threw thunderbolts, and more people fired arrows at the bottom of the gap. The first batch of coalition soldiers who had attacked were killed and wounded and rolled down. Then the second batch came up.
, they were killed and injured one after another, and rolled down. Then the third group attacked again.
When we are nervous, sometimes the battlefield suddenly becomes strangely silent, and there is just a desperate melee. Suddenly the shouts and the sound of war drums are shaking. It turns out that Zhang Pizhu lost his temper. He held a long knife in both hands and opened his mouth.
With a short blade in his mouth, he mingled with the soldiers and attacked the gap. He exchanged wounds for wounds regardless of his life and killed two people. He almost rushed in front of Yu Dazhong.
At this moment, the defenders fired a violent rain of arrows. Zhang Pizhu was wounded by arrows on his body and legs. He fell down and was almost captured by the enemy. Fortunately, Li Laiheng personally came up with his soldiers to rescue him.
Zhang Pizhu was rescued.
Li Laiheng personally carried the seriously injured Zhang Pixuan on his back and led the troops back from the gap. He looked at Zhang Pixuan who was injured by random arrows, and then at the fifty or sixty corpses abandoned in front of the gap.
The remains of the friendly troops, the musketry team that had almost all been injured due to the advance shooting, and even Fang Yiren, had their faces covered in soot, and his arm was hit by a stray arrow!
Pingfeng Village was indeed dangerous... I had underestimated Yu Dazhong's strength.
These thoughts only flashed through Li Laiheng for a moment, and then Li Laiheng heard a gunshot, and a cannonball from the defenders hit him right next to him. The huge roar caused a brief roar to Li Laiheng, and the exploded sand and gravel
The scrape from his face caused a large amount of scratches. Several soldiers reacted extremely quickly and threw Li Laiheng to the ground.
Two more stone bullets hit the area, causing chaos. Fortunately, Gao Yigong went into battle in person. Although he was not a warrior known for his bravery, his skills were much better than Li Laiheng and Bai Wang. At this time
It acted as a surprise attack to boost morale. With a group of elite soldiers, he rushed back to the gap and fought with Dazhong's supervising team.
"Fire!"
Li Laiheng was still suffering from tinnitus. He vaguely heard someone shouting "fire" and thought it was his auditory hallucination. But as the short-term tinnitus effect gradually faded, Li Laiheng heard more clearly that friendly forces around him were there.
Chanting "Fire!"
He looked towards the Pingfeng Village. A thick smoke rose from the village, and one orange-red fire burned from the inside of the village. All the coalition soldiers outside the village wall exclaimed, "There's a fire."
The defenders inside the wall looked at each other in disbelief, and one after another they started shouting "We have lost our position" and "The Shaanxi people have invaded".
