Watch the enemy retreat.
Yang Fan also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Donkey Dan and the others had secretly prepared the boat. If they couldn't hold on, these bastards would definitely pick themselves up and drag them to the boat as soon as possible, and then return to Dongshan Camp.
I know exactly what they are thinking.
In their view, this hundred-household office belonged to the emperor and the imperial court, and whether they died or not had nothing to do with them. But the master is his, and he and his descendants still rely on the Yang family for a living. They understand this very clearly.
Yang Fan would never leave. He would not abandon the army and the people and escape on his own. Mo Zhu and Lv Dan had spent so much time knowing Yang Fan's character quite clearly. They decided to take the master away forcibly if it didn't work out.
The sandbags in the cave of the south gate were removed, and a squadron of recruits ran out of the city. This is the third squadron of the Shangzi Battalion. The officers inside are all veterans, and half of the soldiers are veterans.
They began to clean up the corpses outside the city and stabbed those who were still alive with gun heads. The dead were removed from the barbed wire fence, and more than five hundred corpses were piled into ten piles, neatly placed in horizontal and vertical rows on the firewood. Then they poured kerosene on them and threw a torch.
The corpses burned fiercely on the battlefield. It burned until midnight before being extinguished one by one. The corpses had been burned into gray-white ashes. With the strong autumn wind at night, they were blown away between the sky and the earth, leaving no trace.
The soldiers on both sides watched silently. Everyone has their own feelings in their hearts.
That night, Yang Fan killed pigs and sheep again and gave extra meals to all the soldiers.
There are also barrels of rice wine. Drinking some wine in moderation is good for relieving people's tension.
"Is it difficult to kill the enemy?" Yang Fan asked loudly.
"It's not difficult" shouted the soldiers who climbed the city wall today.
"Yes, as long as you don't panic, your enemy will die. Whoever is afraid will die first," Yang Fan said. "You will be rewarded as soon as you have eaten."
"Okay, okay, thank you sir," the soldiers shouted with red faces and thick necks after drinking wine and gnawing on roast mutton.
Today, there were 500 people defending the south gate, and nearly 570 enemies were killed. Almost everyone has results. Some of them have outstanding results. Zhao Shuigen alone emptied two gun barrels, fired 18 rounds of bullets, and killed 16 enemies. Together with the fellow villagers he called out at the last critical moment, his slogan of beating wheat turned the tide of the battle. Two meritorious services were rewarded together, and he was directly promoted two levels in a row and became the team leader.
In addition to promotion, there was also a reward. A bandit was given five guan of gold. This time, he was rewarded with a total of 80 guan of money.
Pay on the spot.
The soldiers' eyes were red.
The other 312 people who had achieved results in battle were all rewarded.
The soldiers who were not assigned to go up the city wall today were extremely anxious and wished they could go up the city wall tomorrow.
The next day was peaceful and the enemy did not attack.
Yang Fan guessed that they were working hard to make siege weapons.
There was no attack for three days and everything was calm.
Yang Fan did not waste these three days to train the new recruits in shooting and participated in stabbing training.
Yang Fan downloaded the bayonet stabbing technique diagrams from various countries and briefly sorted them out. Based on Japanese and later rabbit techniques, he selected ten basic movements and stepped up training to prepare for hand-to-hand combat if necessary.
Three days later, a new attack finally began.
In the distance, bandits were walking slowly, pushing a small wooden house with four wheels. There were also trebuchets slowly pushing over. There was also a car with a wooden roof that had a basis and was slowly pushed over.
Yang Fan looked at the new wave of offensive outside the city and curled his lips and said, I have everything you have.
Later, twenty small trebuchets and one large trebuchet were also erected in the city.
Come on, let's hurt each other,
Who is afraid of whom?
Each small trebuchet on Yang Fan's side has fifty people responsible for pulling the cable. A total of one thousand recruits and strong men are assigned to do this. They can't do anything else, but they are more than enough to do this.
A large number of bandits and bandit infantrymen rushed up behind them again. The Tatars tried to start their old routine of throwing arrows into the sky while marching.
But they didn't know that the range of Yang Fan's large trebuchet was far beyond that of their bows and arrows, and they couldn't shoot Yang Fan's trebuchet operator.
There are ten people inside each of the two rollers, running desperately to wind up the counterweight box, which rises little by little. The stone weighing ten tons rose little by little in the box. The end of the huge fifteen-meter rocker arm was placed on the ground, and a net bag made of barbed wire was filled with a full 150 kilograms of pebbles. More than a hundred yuan.
After passing the siege vehicle in front, three large phalanxes of Tatar archers entered the shooting range. At this time, there were still two hundred meters away from the city wall.
"Put it down!" Mo Zui roared.
The huge trebuchet counterweight box suddenly fell, and the ten-ton counterweight hit the ground hard. If it hadn't been made of steel wire, it would have been broken long ago. The swing arm suddenly swung forward. After reaching the highest point, more than a hundred pebbles in the net bag flew up overwhelmingly, turning into a black dot in the sky.
Then they fell densely into the large group of 500 archers. At this time, they had not reached within 150 meters. They had to be the last row to enter 150 meters before they could launch a projectile against the city wall.
Although the pebbles only weigh about one kilogram, they fall from a height of up to two hundred meters. Not to mention triple armor, even plate armor was flattened.
Poof! Poof! After a noise, the Jiannu archer who was hit directly shot out a blood mist. In order to increase the hit rate, the bows and arrows were shot in a dense formation. This bag of stones was shot down, directly breaking up the formation. . Some of those who were hit were smashed to pieces, some were holding their stumps and wailing, and some were running away. The other two phalanxes suddenly wavered and tended to collapse.
The officers immediately began to suppress them, forcing them to move forward.
Large trebuchets took a particularly long time to wind up. After firing one round, it took five minutes to fire the next round. Because the enemy has continued to move forward, it is necessary to push the wheel backward to adjust the range.
Seeing that there was no launch in the city, the outside of the city breathed a sigh of relief.
Dozens of siege vehicles have been pushed outside the barbed wire fence. Under the cover of these wooden sheds, the people inside began to think of ways to break through the barbed wire fence. Some are digging underground, digging a hole from the ground so that people can easily crawl through. Some used saws and axes to chop at the wood piles, hoping to knock them down.
The situation immediately became critical. If they were allowed to tear down the barbed wire, they would then fill in the trenches and then use trebuchets to begin bombarding the walls.
Eventually hordes of enemies will swarm into the city. Then came the brutal street fighting, and then nothing more.
There was a commotion on the top of the city, and shots were fired wildly.
