- Chapter 341 Fire Guard Fire Attack Yuliang Road
The walls of the Chen family's mansion are high and solid, and there is a deep ditch outside. It is extremely difficult to attack after the gate is raised. In addition, the private soldiers of the Chen family are also well-trained, and their arrows almost never miss, so the Shanzi camp is in trouble. A small loss. After rushing twice in a row, they still failed to get close to the wall, but they lost a hundred or ten men.
After all, Lu Fenghou was not experienced in many battles, and his ability to command the troops was not even comparable to that of Chen Bishan. After all, Chen Bishan has been at the left midfielder for more than ten years, and he has seen and heard much more than Lu Fenghou. Fortunately, Lu Fenghou was not an impulsive person and knew that the Chen family compound was difficult to chew, so he did not continue to push forward.
After Fang Jie arrived, he observed it carefully and rode a horse around the Chen family compound.
"It's not impossible to attack hard, but the casualties will be too high."
Sun Kaidao frowned when he saw Fang Jie, stepped forward and said: "As I see from my humble position, we have broken through Qiu'an County fast enough, so we still have plenty of time. It is better to use the giant shield hand to cover and let the captured rebels find the cloth." Bags of soil were filled in to fill up the deep ditch outside the Chen family's mansion. The courtyard wall was very high, but after all, the number of archers in the Chen family's private army was limited. After filling up a section of the deep ditch, they could suppress it with an arrow array and break through the Chen family's house. ¡±
Fang Jie nodded: "I'll do as you say. Tell your rebel prisoners that if they throw a bag each, they will avoid death. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."
Lu Fenghou immediately took his people to handle the matter and took over a thousand rebel soldiers. Although there is no grain stored in the Qiu'an County Yamen, there are many sacks in the treasury. Although these rebel soldiers were reluctant, no one wanted to die. Under the cover of the giant shield bearer, they rushed forward carrying sacks filled with soil.
The private soldiers of the Chen family on the courtyard wall poured down arrows like crazy, but after all, their number was limited. After the rebels lost one or two hundred people, they quickly filled up a long section of the deep ditch. The archers of Shanziying began to press forward in an organized manner, holding the same hard bows of the Sui Dynasty in their hands, but Shanziying had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.
At first, because Duan Zheng admired Fang Jie and these Huangyang Dao men, he allocated a large amount of supplies from the Navy to Shanzi Camp. The arrows were densely packed like locusts and spread on the courtyard wall. The Chen family's private soldiers were soon suppressed and unable to raise their heads. Seeing the opportunity coming, Lu Fenghou personally rushed forward with a regiment of soldiers.
The soldiers of the Shanzi Camp carried the connected ladder. Although it was simple, they could reach the courtyard wall. Having lost more than a hundred brothers before, Lu Fenghou was holding back a fire in his heart. He held a horizontal knife in his mouth, held a shield in one hand and climbed up the ladder with the other. The feather arrows from the Shanzi camp stopped, and the Chen family's private soldiers immediately stood up and fought back. Many soldiers from Shanzi Camp were shot down from ladders by arrows and fell heavily to the ground.
What Fang Jie¡¯s team lacks most now is siege equipment, so the attack seems very difficult. Although the ladder is long enough when connected, it is too soft and shakes badly when people climb up. The Chen family's private soldiers had obviously been prepared to deal with such a situation, and all defensive methods were used.
Several private soldiers used scratching hooks to push the ladder out. The soldiers who were still climbing on it screamed and fell down. Although many people did not die, they lost their combat effectiveness for a while after falling.
"Pour fuel on the fire!"
Chen Dingnan, the eldest grandson of the Chen family with a cold look on his face, shouted loudly, and the private soldiers immediately poured down the boiling oil. Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers from the Shanzi Battalion were doused with boiling vegetable oil, and their wails sounded louder. So sad. Wherever the boiling oil was poured, a layer of skin fell off when touched with the hand. Someone's whole face was burned after being showered, and even the sound was released from his throat.
"Rocket!"
Chen Dingnan gave the order again, and the private soldiers lit the feather arrows wrapped in oilcloth and shot them down. With a roar, a sea of ????fire immediately rose under the courtyard wall. At least thirty or forty soldiers from the attacking Shanzi camp were caught in the fire, and soon they were burned and fell to the ground lifeless.
Lu Fenghou lost another fifty or sixty men and was forced to retreat by the sea of ??fire.
"That does not work!"
Chen Bishan said anxiously: "The Chen family are well prepared. If we attack hard like this, the losses will still be too great."
"They use fire, so do we."
Fang Jie waved his hand and ordered: "Don't feel bad about Yujian, just burn that yard for me."
Hundreds of archers immediately moved, wrapped their arrows and lit them. Hundreds of rockets were shot out, and a wailing sound immediately came from the courtyard wall. The archers fired arrows non-stop, completely suppressing the Chen family's private soldiers again. Soon, flames were rising in the yard. After all, most of the buildings in the courtyard are made of wood, and some unimportant small houses still have thatched roofs. Thick smoke rises from the courtyard walls, getting darker and darker.
You can hear people boiling in the yard, apparently fetching water to put out the fire.
Chen Ding??Looking at the officers and soldiers surrounding them outside, their expressions became more and more solemn.
"Master!"
A young boy ran up along the horse path and said to him breathlessly: "The old man asked if the young master was sure of retreating from the enemy. The old man said that after all, those surrounding the house were not bandits or Mongolian people, but officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. . If you really can't hold on, the old man said that he is willing to spend money to buy peace. It seems that the people outside are just plotting the food and grass in our house. As long as they don't touch it, he will give it away for fear of offending the people outside. The Chen family suffered a disaster."
Chen Dingnan knew that the old man's worries were not unreasonable. The number of officers and soldiers outside was at least ten times that of his own soldiers. He was confident that relying on these 500 personally trained soldiers, he could defeat five or even ten times the number of rebels. However, There is no guarantee that we can always block the offensive of the army.
If the resistance is too fierce and the losses of the army are too great, once it is breached, the Chen family will immediately fall into a situation beyond recovery.
"Go tell the old man that I have my own sense of proportion!"
Chen Dingnan frowned and ordered, then turned around and shouted: "Let the people below pour water on the roof near the courtyard wall. Everyone who can move should get busy. Don't let the fire scare the old man!"
The people below agreed, and almost everyone who had not participated in the battle got busy to put out the fire.
Fang Jie looked at the private soldiers on the city wall who couldn't raise their heads. He turned around and ordered: "Let the prisoners continue to pile sacks and create a weiron avenue."
Sun Kaidao originally wanted to suggest this, but he felt happy when he saw the solution. From this he could tell that the young general he had taken refuge in was decisive.
¡¡
¡¡
Under the suppression of the archers, the rebel prisoners began to pile sacks outside the courtyard wall. More than a thousand people were running back and forth, and the sacks were piled higher and higher. Chen Dingnan cursed lowly as he looked at the frightened rebels working for the enemy in order to survive.
He originally wanted to order someone to pile up sacks every three feet to form a barrier on the courtyard wall, but he hesitated after thinking of what the old man had said before. In the end, he shook his head and suppressed the thought.
"Pour oil on the Yuliang Avenue they built and set it on fire!"
He ordered loudly.
The private soldiers of the Chen family carried oil pans and poured oil on the fish beam road in the rain of arrows. Most of the soldiers were shot over by the archers of the Shanzi camp as soon as they showed their heads. But after all, they only wanted to target the Weirway Road. After losing twenty or thirty people, they still set the Weirway Road on fire.
"Let the rebel prisoners carry the wet mud mats up!"
Fang Jie pointed at Yuliang Road and ordered.
The soldiers from the Shanzi Camp found water and mud, and the rebel prisoners carried buckets filled with wet mud and sent it to the fish beam road. Because of the numerical advantage and the cover of the Shanzi Camp archers, the flames on the fish beam road were suppressed in a short time.
After more than an hour, a three-meter-wide weirway was finally paved. Lu Fenghou took a full breath, simply took off his shirt, and rushed forward again with a regiment of soldiers carrying a horizontal sword and a naked body. On the courtyard wall, most of the private soldiers gathered in this section. The archers kept raising their heads and shooting arrows, but they were not accurate because they were suppressed. Lu Fenghou and his men rushed up along the Yuliang Road, and soon they were close to the courtyard wall.
"Where are my soldiers?"
Chen Dingnan grabbed his horse and shouted, and fifty or sixty men behind him immediately responded. He swung his horse, jumped out from the city wall, and rushed towards Lu Fenghou along the fish beam road: "Follow me and push the enemy back!"
"No!"
Dozens of men rushed out after him, forming a sharp arrow formation that turned out to be very neat.
When Lu Fenghou saw the man in iron armor coming down in person, his eyes immediately turned red. He roared and led the men to rush upward. Chen Dingnan raised his hand and struck it horizontally. Lu Fenghou pushed the knife with both hands to block it. The bang made both of his arms feel numb. This young man, who looks handsome and cold and arrogant, has surprisingly strong hands.
Chen Dingnan took Lu Fenghou back a step, and then thrust straight forward. The long spear was like a dragon in his hand, as fast as lightning, and he stabbed it seven or eight times in an instant. Lu Fenghou's martial arts skills were not outstanding, so he was immediately thrown into a panic by these seven or eight enemies. The horizontal knife kept knocking, and although he was not stabbed, he was still in danger.
Chen Dingnan spotted a flaw, stabbed Lu Fenghou on the shoulder and swept him sideways, sweeping Lu Fenghou down the Yuliang Road. If there weren't corpses piled below, Lu Fenghou's body would have been wiped out in one blow. Several bones were broken. Chen Dingnan stabbed a bloody hole in his shoulder, and blood flowed out like a stream from the wound.
"Chun Gu, come with me."
?Fang Jie saw that Lu Fenghou had returned without success again, so he picked up the Chaolu knife and strode forward. Chun Gu and the other ten immediately followed Fang Jie's steps and straightened up the Damo Dao in their hands. The Mingguang Armor and the Damo Dao reflected a cold light under the sunlight, and the awe-inspiring aura on them immediately filled the air.
With no armor on his body, Fang Jie walked in front carrying the Chaolu knife. From time to time, arrows would be shot over, and Fang Jie would knock them away with his sword.
Chen Dingnan led his soldiers in a countercharge, relying on the advantage of the terrain and his superior martial arts skills to force the three hundred soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion to retreat. Chen Dingnan attacked from top to bottom, and Shanziying attacked from bottom to top. In addition, the private soldiers knew that there would be no way to survive if they were defeated, so they all moved forward bravely.
After forcing the soldiers from the Shanzi Camp down the Yuliang Road, Chen Dingnan immediately led his men to retreat. Before he returned to the city wall, he saw the young man in black walking towards this side, walking like a tiger and a dragon!
After he saw the young man in black and the ten burly soldiers, his brows immediately wrinkled.
He wiped the sweat dripping down his face, and after being silent for a while, he said sadly: "Go and tell the old man that you can prepare money and food now."
He took off his iron helmet, stood high on the courtyard wall and shouted loudly to Fang Jie: "General outside the courtyard, I have something to say to you!"
Fang Jie had already arrived at the foot of Yuliang Avenue with ten people from the service camp. He paused when he heard the call of the young iron-clad general.
It looked like he hesitated for a moment, but then quickly took the step again.
Chen Dingnan's eyes changed and he immediately put on his iron helmet again: "General, why should we continue to fight? It's just more casualties! Chen Mou has no choice but to resist. I hope you will forgive me, general!"
Fang Jie strode forward without saying a word.
¡°At this time, the old man of the Chen family, who was already in his seventies, was helped to climb up the courtyard wall. The old man looked at the dense crowd of officers and soldiers outside, with a trace of anger and worry in his eyes. He understood what his grandson was thinking, but he could see that his grandson had gone too far.
"Stay back!"
He gave Chen Dingnan a cold command, broke free from the support of the two boys and walked quickly to the courtyard wall: "General outside, please stop, I am willing to surrender!" - Didn't finish reading?
