Chapter 114 Introducing the King into the urn
Zheng Jingcai and the others were in great joy, but they didn't know that Liu Ximing was already in big trouble.
Su Jing didn't want to offer advice at first, but he thought that he would not be spared after the bandits were defeated. After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but said: "Master, send people from both sides of the city wall to attack, we have to launch attacks at the same time, otherwise wouldn't it be okay?
Give them a chance to defeat each one?"
The tiger in the mountain blew his beard anxiously, danced with a whip, and shouted at his cronies: "Why don't you go and report it quickly, so that these dogs can speed up the progress and attack the city immediately!"
"Leave the soldiers as reserves!"
Su Jing quickly reminded the tiger in the mountain.
The group of bandits immediately started making a noise. Thousands of people made a fuss for a quarter of an hour before they were led by their respective leaders and divided into more than a dozen teams. They rushed towards the city wall in a chaotic manner.
"Enemy attack!"
The heartbreaking voice of the sentry woke up everyone who was still drinking water and resting under the tree, and each team officer hurriedly went to reorganize the team.
Liu Ximing ran upstairs to observe. Seeing the thief's posture, he suddenly lost his mind. It's embarrassing for your mother. Who the hell came up with this idea? How can you defend yourself by dividing yourself into more than a dozen teams?
No, we had to make a quick decision and had to divide our forces to defend. But there were no steps on the city wall, so we couldn't attack by ourselves, and the watchtower was built several hundred meters apart, so the firepower was not enough.
Liu Ximing was so anxious upstairs that his thoughts were blocked for a moment, so he had to tell the people downstairs about the situation and let them discuss the details together.
Yu Yongkai and the others have never experienced this kind of scene, and several of them scratched their heads and couldn't come up with any perfect solution.
At this time, Li Biao rubbed his face and said, "Why don't you throw a bomb? Just throw it out from inside. It was what we relied on to scare away the thieves last time."
You are really my fucking lucky star. Liu Ximing was overjoyed after hearing this. Everyone was restricted in their thinking. They always thought of standing on the city wall to attack, but they forgot that bombs can be thrown.
Li Biao did this job once and never forgot it.
Liu Ximing quickly followed the route of the thieves and divided out more than a dozen teams to defend their respective sections of the city wall. Long Xiangqu was responsible for throwing bombs, the strong men were responsible for holding up the city wall, and several scattered watchtowers were responsible for reporting the position. As for the musketeers, he
I have never thought about using it dispersedly. This thing must be concentrated to form a fire network.
But in this case, each team only had a few dozen people. Liu Ximing couldn't help but worry, and could only hope that the bomb would make a difference. Although he still had a trump card, with the crowd scattered, this secret weapon could not be used.
use.
Bai Laowu led a group of old and weak men and came straight to the city wall. The people in the city had divided their forces just as the Soviet military advisor said. At the moment, only one team was being bombarded by muskets, but there was no threat at all from his side.
At this moment, he immediately regained his energy, and hurriedly commanded the team: "Quick, quick, fill up the trench with earth bags. You guys, go
Pull out the horse."
Any city defense is based on sufficient human resources. If Liu Ximing had thousands of musketeers, he could certainly defend it easily, but now he can only watch the bandits destroy more than a dozen trenches.
Fill it up and start preparing to hit the wall.
"Prepare, light the fire, and drop the bomb!"
When Yu Yongkai saw the sentry on the watchtower signaling that the thieves had arrived at the wall, he immediately ordered the grenadiers to light the bomb and throw it out.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"
There were bursts of roaring sounds from the walls of the Liu family, and the bandits' siege team was suddenly bombarded with howls of ghosts and wolves, all shrouded in smoke.
"Don't run away. This thing isn't very powerful. Everyone, move closer and hold your shield above your head."
Several young leaders among the bandits shivered to stabilize their team. However, after the smoke dissipated, they were surprised to find that this terrifying-sounding thing did not kill many people, except for a dozen unlucky ones.
Ceramic shards cut their throats, and most of the others suffered minor injuries.
"Hahaha, speed up and fill up the trench quickly."
Bai Laowu stood at the back of the team and laughed loudly, and asked the people around him to give the order: "Send some people to put their shields on their heads to cover those who hit the wall. This firecracker cannot kill anyone, so don't be afraid, everyone."
The old and weak people in the city followed the instructions and found that as long as they covered their heads with shields, the things thrown from the city would only make a sound on the top of their heads, and at most they would numb their hands and cut some people.
Each and every one of them became more courageous, and the person carrying the wooden block under the shield shouted the slogan and prepared to hit the wall.
"The bombs are useless, they are all blocked."
Hearing the desperate roar of the sentry upstairs, Liu Ximing's heart became cold. You bastard, why didn't labor and management develop a real bomb? This homemade bomb is made of black powder and ceramic bottles, and its lethality is very limited.
.
However, Liujia Village is not that easy to break. The bottom of the wooden walls are all poured with stone slurry. It is difficult to directly knock over the wooden walls in rows unless they break the wooden walls.
But if they continue at this pace, it will be a matter of time before the city is breached. Yu Yongkai and the others wanted to repeat their old trick of wrapping lime and throwing it out, but the package fell apart after being thrown into the air, leaving their own people covered in ashes.
Liu Ximing was so nervous that he could hardly control his body. His hands began to shake erratically under the unconscious control of his brain, and he couldn't hold them down no matter how hard he pressed them. He knew that this was due to excessive secretion of adrenal hormones.
"Calm down, you must calm down, the whole village is counting on you."
Liu Xi couldn't help but cheer himself up. At least, under the stimulation of adrenaline, his thinking was still relatively clear. He was sweating profusely and analyzed the situation in his mind:
"Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy's division of troops has further dispersed our own forces. Our city wall defense system is only half-level, and we lack the means to attack the enemy.
What we should do now is to gather our own people together to avoid being defeated one by one! By the way, it is best to allow our own side to concentrate its firepower on the enemy."
"Surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao? Bah, that's not right."
"Three around and one missing? That's not right."
"Introducing you into an urn? Yes, that's it!"
Thinking of the key point, Liu Ximing looked like he was crazy. He rolled down the watchtower and grabbed a few Li Biao, the personal guard commander, and ordered: "Go, inform everyone, and leave a few people to continue throwing bombs to disturb them."
, everyone else retreated to the city gate, let’s open the city gate and let them in.”
Li Biao almost went crazy after hearing this. Now that he could no longer defend himself, why did he take the initiative to let people in? Isn't this the birthday man who hanged himself because he didn't want to live long?
"Go quickly!"
Liu Ximing roared at the top of his lungs. The people in the Guard Village looked solemn and did not dare to hesitate any longer. They immediately divided into several groups and went to inform everyone.
"Second brother, tell me what to do, we will listen to you!"
After a while, Yu Yongkai and others ran back panting with the troops. Yu Yongkai didn't even catch his breath, so he immediately came over to ask for permission to express his position.
Liu Ximing couldn't care about anything else at this moment, and kept giving instructions: "Yu Yongkai organized the troops to line up on the left side of the city gate, Mu Jingnan was on the right, Li Jingsi blocked the front, and all the people standing in front were
Hold the shield. You Gao, you take the remaining musketeers and line up in three rows in front. Leave a few tens of meters in the middle of the city gate, no, leave a few dozen feet of distance. Zhou Jiang, take someone to get out.
Scatter all the caltrops behind the city gate, and scatter more."
"Be quick and ready. We will open the city gate and let them in. Liu Jingzhong, go and bring out my Italian cannon, no, the thunder cannon!"
Finally, he could use his trump card. Liu Jingzhong rubbed his hands together excitedly and led others to prepare.
The flying thunder cannon, also known as the heartless cannon, is a weapon that our army used many times during the Liberation War. This thing is simple to make and only requires a large enough strong barrel to be used. Our army also used gasoline barrels to modify it.
This is also the most powerful tactical weapon for Liu Ximing at present. Because the art of casting cannons has not yet been figured out, the only way to cast it is to cast this kind of large iron barrel first, which will come in handy today.
After everyone in Liujia Village completed their formation at the city gate, Liu Ximing ordered a few strong men to open the main door from the inside with a creak. The old and weak thieves who were banging on the door were suddenly shocked by this sudden turn of events and carried
What should I do if the wood doesn't respond?
"The city gate is broken"
Liu Ximing knew that the speed of information transmission in ancient battlefields was very slow, so most of them relied on flags and golden drums to convey orders. In order to attract most of the enemies, he asked more than 800 people in Liujia Village to shout "the city is broken" in unison.
This sound instantly spread across most of the battlefield.
"rush in"
