Chapter 1134: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Twenty-Four)

The front entrance building of Green Willow Villa failed to withstand the blow of the large trebuchet. Not to mention the failure, only three strikes destroyed its thin wall. Jiang Dafu commanded the second consecutive shout. After a wave of shooting cover from the divine machine crossbow, they immediately rushed inward.

Until now, Jiang Dafu thought that he could enter the Green Willow Villa with one blow. Many of the arrangements made by the battalion commander Qiu He may no longer be needed, but the facts immediately gave him a powerful blow. Within the wall, Liu An dug They entered a deep ditch about ten feet long, and on the other side of the ditch were several divine machine crossbows that they had captured from the first battalion. When Jiang Dafu's team began to charge, the divine machine crossbows on the opposite side began to roar. . The soldiers running at the front fell to the ground. For the powerful divine machine crossbow that could fire hundreds of rounds in one shot, the armor on the soldiers was fragile.

Jiang Dafu fell to the ground, using some piles of gravel formed by the collapse of the wall just now to protect himself. He knew very well the speed and interval of the divine machine crossbow launch, but the problem was that this ditch became insurmountable for him. If you want to cross it, you will have to face the fire of the divine machine crossbow.

A total of four divine machine crossbows were launched just now, but the number of divine machine crossbows captured by them in one battalion was as many as eight. If the opponent formed a ladder to launch, it would be a huge threat to them.

Jiang Dafu waved his hand, and a platoon leader led the soldiers to sway out of the rubble. They swayed a little and hid again. They wanted to lure the other party to shoot their crossbows again, but Jiang Dafu was disappointed. , there was no movement on the other side, not even a little noise.

"It's not like some Zhuang Yong, but more like a well-trained army." Jiang Dafu muttered in his heart.

The enemy was not fooled, but the attack still had to be carried out, and rows of shields were erected. Slowly advancing, a row of soldiers dragged over the door panel of the city gate that had just fallen, preparing to lift him over the trench.

As the row advanced slowly, Jiang Dafu turned around and waved to the crossbow machine behind him. He needs the support and suppression of the divine machine crossbow. And at this moment, he heard the whistling sound that was familiar to him. It was the bed crossbow. He turned around suddenly, and the bed crossbow fired from the opposite side tore through his shield team, and the moment the shield just fell, the divine machine crossbow roared in time. Shooting several soldiers in a row to the ground at once.

"Son of a bitch!" Jiang Dafu suddenly became furious, turned around and yelled at his crossbow machine: "Are you fucking dead? Shoot for me, two units in a group, four groups in rotation, non-stop I suppressed it. Don't be afraid of losing the crossbow." He picked up a shield from the ground. Prepare to attack personally.

At this moment, the bugle call to withdraw troops sounded behind him. Jiang Dafu glanced hard at the opposite side and reluctantly gave the order to retreat.

The soldiers, with their heads and waists low, slowly retreated under the cover of their own crossbows.

"How do you feel?" Qiu He looked at the angry Jiang Dafu,

asked.

"It's not like Zhuang Yong, but more like a well-trained army. Zhuang Yong is definitely not at this level." Jiang Dafu thought for a moment. He said: "I suspect that there are Chu troops in this village."

Qiu He nodded, "I think so too, but what I don't understand is. Right now, whether it's Tucheng or Pengcheng, the Chu army probably doesn't have enough troops. How can there be a team with insufficient fighting strength?" The common Chu army appears at Green Willow Villa?"

"Or is it to contain our attack on Tucheng?" Jiang Dafu thought for a while and said: "Didn't they successfully contain the First Battalion's attack on Tucheng before? The First Battalion lost all its baggage. After the reinforcements Before arriving, there is basically no way to deal with Tucheng. But this method of fighting has never been the tradition of our Han army. Even if we win, the superiors will be angry. "

"I hope so." Qiu He nodded: "Don't press too hard against Luliu Village. If there are regular troops in Zhuangzi, this battle will not be so easy. I counted the total number of divine machine crossbows they just put into use. There are four. Next, take your time and advance slowly. Don't charge harshly. Any group charge in front of the divine machine crossbow will cost you your life. of."

"My subordinate understands."

When Jiang Dafu launched his second attack, his men chopped down dozens of willow trees outside and nailed them together one by one with rivets to make a large and thick shield. , dozens of soldiers supported the planks and advanced step by step to the trench. This time, whether it was a bed crossbow or a divine machine crossbow, there were not many ways to deal with it. When dozens of soldiers were used here, When the thing made of a big tree was laid flat on the trench, Jiang Dafu almost thought he had solved the problem.

The enemy's response was timely and effective. Clay pots filled with grease flew out from behind the defense line and landed on the willow trees. Rockets were shot out and raging fires ignited, ruthlessly extinguishing Jiang Dafu's hopes.

Inside the village, Liu An is also under tremendous pressure. As a well-trained general, he knows very well that his opponent has not tried his best. So far, the opponent has only sent about one-third of his troops, and Every attack was a superficial one, as if it was testing one's own bottom line. Even so, the 500 soldiers he brought from the army had already suffered about one-third casualties. The entire morning was just like this piecemeal attack. But it has already made the atmosphere in the village extremely solemn, especially the huge trebuchet. The stone bullets it projects have begun to extend. Every stone bullet flying will destroy a house. Liu An does not know this kind of stone cannon. What is the maximum shooting range? He only knows that every stone bullet flying will suppress Zhuangzi's resistance by one point.

After all, the heroes in Zhuangzi are all locals.

But just as Qiu He thought, Green Willow Villa is a treasure land for defense, but it is also a dead place. Once Zhuangzi is defeated, there will be no place to escape. When he came back, the reinforcements promised by General Bi Xuan were unknown. Only when the time comes, and even if reinforcements arrive, will they come to support Green Willow Villa first? Isn’t Tucheng more important?

A terrible thought suddenly flashed through Liu An's mind. He knew that General Bi Xuan had a big chess game in mind, but on top of this big chess game, was he the pawn who was abandoned? In order to achieve the final victory, there are always some pieces on the chessboard that must be abandoned.

After lunch, the enemy's offensive stopped, and Liu An hurried to his father's residence.

"Dad, before the enemy uses all his strength, you'd better leave quickly!"

"Why are you leaving? Didn't you fight well this morning?" Liu Yiqing, who was very rich, looked at his son puzzledly, "Besides, as soon as reinforcements arrive, the enemy will naturally escape. At that time, how can our Liu family This is the first family in Pengcheng. If you want anything, son, if you can hold on, I think the Han army will not be a big deal!"

Liu An shook his head: "Father, the Han army's conquests here and there are not just words. We won the first battle because the enemy underestimated the enemy. But now, the enemy has not tried his best at all. They just It's just a test. Zhuang Yong in Zhuangzi can't play any role in such a battle. If the enemy uses all their strength, I don't think I can hold it for a day. As for reinforcements?" He smiled bitterly, "Father? , I have a bad feeling, whether it is Tucheng or us, it is just a chess piece of General Bi Xuan, and it is very likely that it is the kind of chess piece that will be thrown away. Otherwise, why would General Bi Xuan know that the Han army They wanted to attack Pengcheng, but they did not send reinforcements in advance. They only asked me to bring 500 people back to organize Xiangyong to contain the Han army. "

"Is that what you think?" Liu Yiqing's face changed drastically.

"That's what I think, so father, you'd better take your brothers and sisters and go to Pengcheng first. The enemy hasn't blocked the surrounding area yet, so you and your family should quickly follow the secret path."

"Are you giving up such a huge family fortune like this?" Liu Yiqing looked at his son reluctantly.

"As long as the person is still there and as long as we win, we can get everything back. If the person is gone, so what if we win in the end?" Liu An comforted his father.

"how about you?"

"I am a soldier, so naturally I have to complete my mission first. My father does not have to worry about my safety. When it comes to the point where I can no longer resist it, I will naturally leave early."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in Pengcheng." Liu Yiqing gritted his teeth and nodded. His son was right, as long as the people are still there, it's fine. Anyway, these lands can't be escaped. After the war is over, they can come back to clean up the old river...

Not to mention the plans of the Liu family and his son at Green Willow Villa, in the direction of Tucheng, Mao Afu arrived at the battlefield with the main force of the second regiment. He looked at Fu Jiang who was coming up with an angry expression. Staring at the dejected Fu Jiang, Mao Afu directly kicked him. He kicked Fu Jiang to the ground and said, "You bitch, I have been completely embarrassed by you, and our third division has been completely embarrassed by you. Mr. Dong is on the way here now, you bitch." Let’s wait for military justice!”

Ignoring Fu Jiang who got up, Mao Afu turned his eyes directly to Song Bao, the commander of the third battalion beside him, "Song Bao, take your second battalion, half a day, from now on, until the time of lighting the lamp at night, I want to see us The military flag is planted on the enemy's position in Tucheng. All the long-range weapons of the entire regiment will be used to suppress fire for you. A cavalry company directly under the regiment headquarters will also be handed over to you. I will supervise the battle here. "

"Yes, leader, Song Yu promises to complete the mission."

"Captain, commander, please give the First Battalion another chance. The First Battalion is not injured and we can still launch an attack." Fu Jiang shouted.

Song Bao on the side hesitated for a moment. He knew very well that if the regiment leader did not agree to Fu Jiang's request, Fu Jiang's future in the army would be really over. If Fu Jiang personally captured Tucheng, then There is still room for change in this matter.

"Commander, the first battalion has fought a battle and is very clear about the enemy's deployment. Otherwise, let Battalion Commander Fu try again and I will hold the line for him."

Mao Afu's face was solemn, his eyes turned around the two people's faces several times, and Fu Jiang finally nodded in anticipation. (To be continued)
