Chapter 2088 Gui Zi Scroll The battle is about to begin, and the fire is about to burn
Wubao County Town is a city built with stones mixed with earth. The county town is actually not very big. The entire surrounding city wall is no more than 800 steps, which is about 1,200 meters.
The shape of the entire city is close to a square, but not very regular. It is slightly longer from east to west, slightly narrower from north to south, and is about 200 paces each from east to west.
Now that it is determined that two battles will be fought in the attack and defense of Wubao City, it is not only a training and baptism for the newly reorganized Wang Chengwu and Gu Xiuzhong tribes, but also a good way to blunt the vigor of these rebellious troops, and prepare for the next step.
Make plans to completely eliminate these rebels in one step.
Wang Chengwu raised his telescope and observed the silhouettes of the rebels who started to appear two miles away. He felt excited but also a little nervous. This telescope was so easy to use. He could see everything on the opposite side at once. This was simply too great.
It's amazing.
This is "Master Zhang", no, it is a gift given to me by Master Feng.
In addition to himself, there were four others, one for each of his two brothers, and two more that Wang Chengwu gave to his two capable subordinates.
After reorganization, the entire subordinates were divided into one battalion and three divisions, with nearly 2,000 people.
According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a battalion of five troops should be about 3,500 people, but Wang Chengwu's battalion is still far from that level. If Gu Xiuzhong's troops are added, then they can barely make up a whole battalion.
.
However, Feng Ziying had no intention of letting Gu Xiuzhong's men join, and Gu Xiuzhong himself was not willing either.
Moreover, Wang Chengwu himself would prefer a relatively "pure" headquarters, with fewer people but better management and unity. Therefore, Wang Chengwu's battalion can only be a disabled battalion for the time being.
But even with a incomplete battalion, Wang Chengwu was very satisfied, because after entering the county, Lord Feng had replenished the two thousand men with all the weapons and armor that could be supplemented.
Although they are all shabby and poorly regulated goods, it is already a qualitative leap for the rebel army that relied more on agricultural tools such as spears, sticks, and pickaxes before.
In particular, the delivery of three hundred fire guns made Wang Chengwu even more excited. Although he also knew that without a period of training, this kind of firearm was no different from burning fire sticks, and it was not suitable for his two thousand people.
But he firmly believed that he would be able to win this "reward" when the Battle of Fort Wu was over.
"Brother, Mr. Feng is indeed nice to us, but he just wants us to work hard for him."
Wang Chenghu stood next to Wang Chengwu, sighed, and caressed the thick-backed wide-blade ring knife hanging at his waist.
Different from the narrow-edged knives that are fashionable at the moment, this knife has a simple shape. It looks like it is old at first glance. I don’t know which gentry donated it. Wang Chenghu fell in love with this knife at once, and Mr. Feng also
This sword was generously awarded to him.
"Why, when you were so precarious that you didn't even have enough to eat, why didn't you tell me who was asking you to sacrifice your life? You just wanted to have a bowl of food, and you kept saying that you had a huge scar on your head. Well, now that money has become more valuable, you cherish your life. I feel
Have you had a good life?" Wang Chengwu glanced at his brother with disdain, "Gu Xiuzhong wants this opportunity to work hard, but Master Feng hasn't given it to him yet."
With a smile, Wang Chenghu puffed up his chest and said, "Brother, are you laughing at me? Am I someone who is afraid of death? I just think the enemy is too strong. When I came back, I said it was so dark that the ground was flattened. I don't know.
How many people are there, and how many donkeys and horses there are..."
"What are you afraid of? Let him devise all kinds of tricks. I only have a knife. No matter how many they come, it doesn't matter. Your Excellency has said that it's just a mob and it's worthless. After all, we want to see the truth on this city wall." Wang Chengwu smiled proudly, "
The city wall is so wide, and they all have to come here, so I don’t believe they are not afraid of death!”
"Brother, let's be honest, the people in Boyan Village and Baitang Village are still a bit ruthless, and they are a bit crazy when they fight."
Wang Chenghu followed his elder brother to travel all over the country, and also went to Boyan Village and Baitang Village. He had seen their training, and was at least much better than his original gang in Qingcaowu. Although he had annexed the people who waved the sky flag, in the past few days,
Master Feng also specially sent people to organize the training rules, but it is obviously unrealistic to expect much change in such a few days.
"Second brother, you are still saying you are not afraid? I have also met the people from Boyan Village and Baitang Village, and I also admit that in the past, we people from Qingcaowu were definitely not as good as us. There is still a gap now, but they came from afar.
And there are a lot of people from other places mixed in. I don’t think there will be many people with their fighting power. We rely on the strong city. Everyone understands what this battle means to us. If we win this battle, we
Then you can no longer be like before, not to mention being a wife and a shadow, at least you can have a family background..."
Wang Chengwu's words aroused Wang Chenghu's ferocity. He puffed up his chest and said, "Brother, what I'm saying is that we are already worthless, but now that we have a chance, if we become intimidated instead, it will be our own problem. In this battle, we
We have to give it a try and see how powerful the people from Boyan Village and Baitang Village are. We may not be as good as them in the field, but now they are attacking us and defending, so there is no reason to be afraid. We will definitely win this battle!"
"If you want to win, it's no use just boasting. In the end, you have to rely on the hard work of our gang of men." Wang Chengwu said calmly, "Not only you, but even my brother and I will be the same when the time comes.
We have to go into battle, and the outcome of this battle will not be easy."
Wang Chenghu took a deep breath, pulled out the ring knife in his hand, grinned, and said with a smile: "Brother, there is no disaster except death. Who among us brothers is more afraid of death? But I hope Mr. Feng can fulfill his promise. In the future, we
If you really want to survive this battle, just don’t deceive us.”
"That's not the case." Wang Chengwu's eyes were serious, "This Lord Feng has a good background. I don't think he is like Long Jinwei Qianhu. Although Long Jinwei has a great reputation and great power, it is not a matter of fighting like this."
Logically speaking, it should not be under the control of Long Jinwei. Logically speaking, they should not stay here to defend the city. But to be honest, the group of people under him have a strong atmosphere of the world. Apart from Long Jinwei, there seems to be
There is nothing else that can be related, so I am a little unsure, but I am certain that Mr. Feng has an unusual background. The county magistrate respects him very much, and there are several young people who are heard to be from Beijing.
, they are all dominated by Mr. Feng, which is enough to explain a lot..."
Wang Chenghu shook his head and said nonchalantly: "As long as he can fulfill his promise, no matter who he is, the more important the better. Brother, do you think we can hold on to this battle?"
"Yes, we can definitely do it. Mr. Feng obviously can leave and avoid this danger, but he dares to stay in the city and let the rebels outside besiege him. Based on this, I feel that we can definitely hold it, and he still has the courage to stay in the city.
How dare you send three hundred firecrackers? How dare you do this if you are not sure?" Wang Chengwu said with great certainty.
While the Wang brothers were discussing the situation between the enemy and ourselves, the rebels outside Wubao City finally began to approach Wubao City.
For Modlun, he still had some hesitation in his heart. The people from Datu Falcon Village and Boluosi Village unexpectedly did not come to Yiheyi City to join forces, but stayed in the Bochuling area, claiming that they wanted to wait until the follow-up.
The men and horses followed, and Modlen was not sure whether it was an excuse or whether he was really waiting for the follow-up troops.
This gave Modlen a somewhat unlucky premonition.
The people in Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Temple Village are similar to him. If they can join in, Modlen will feel stable.
There are dozens of large and small stockades along the entire 700-mile border wall of Yulin Town. There are only five or six that can really be called decent big stockades. The rest are mostly small and medium-sized stockades. They cannot compete with the large stockades in terms of the number of soldiers and horses and combat effectiveness.
Compared with other villages, these small and medium-sized villages are all dependent on these large villages.
But they can no longer stay in Yiheyi City. If they wait any longer, they will run out of food, which will be another disaster.
Therefore, Modlen could only send his troops southward and capture Wubao City in one fell swoop before he could make any plans for the next step.
The entry of Wang Chengwu's troops into the city still made Modlen a little wary. Not only did this mean that the Qingcaowu gang was really recruited by the government, but Wang Chengwu and the gang actually dared to enter the city to defend the city.
This Wubao City competes with each other.
Mo Delun still had a rough understanding of the situation of Wang Chengwu's gang. They were just a bunch of grass bandits. How could He De dare to fight with his own village soldiers? Wang Chengwu was not stupid, but he dared to do this, so he must have someone to rely on.
It was just that the arrow was on the string and he had to fire it. At this time, Modlen realized that sometimes having more men and horses under his command was not necessarily a good thing. Every day, he was suffocated by the weight of people eating and chewing horses, and he could not take Wubao City.
Just these people and horses from all over the world can swallow him up.
Fortunately, there is finally an obvious target like Wubao City here. Modren is really worried that if there is really no such target, will these people force themselves to fight against Suide and Mizhi?
Along the way, he kept the soldiers in the stockade at a distance from the rest of the troops and tried not to be affected as much as possible. But now under the city wall, how to arrange the siege was also a big test.
"Delun, all the reports in the city have come out. As expected, Wang Chengwu annexed the people who waved the sky flag and accepted the government recruitment. Gu Xiuzhong did the same. They swallowed up all the people who waved the sky flag. It is estimated that now
There are about 3,500 people, and the population of Wubao is about 600 or 700. However, the private soldiers who fled into the city from Wubao Township were recruited by the government, and they are also about 700 or 800, so after all, they are still
There are about five thousand people, but their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning. As long as we use our full strength, we will definitely be able to defeat them in one go."
Qiu Zixiong was full of confidence: "What we have to consider now is how to fight? It's impossible for us to fill up all our troops and let them sit back and enjoy the results, right?"
