Daming pirates

After the war horse fell, the rebel cavalry fell to the ground. They were as stupid as pigs, unable to struggle for life and death, and cursed angrily. This scene caused some of the village warriors watching the battle on the wall to cheer loudly, but the rest were shocked.

The rebel cavalry turned their horses and ran away, no longer caring about chasing down the refugees.

Zhang Tao was so angry at the back that he wanted to vomit blood, but to him, the cavalry were the elite in his hands. It would not be cost-effective to force them to hunt down refugees and waste them, so he had to order the money to withdraw the troops, but

Even so, more than thirty riders were left behind in front of the formation, causing him great pain.

At this time, Zhang Tao felt a little scared. More than a hundred cavalrymen were galloping at high speed. When they met each other, they were knocked down by their opponents. Thirty men and horses were knocked down by their opponents. Such a huge loss made people feel frightened. If there were a few more,

If so, I guess his cavalry would have been lost here this time.'

So he no longer dared to send cavalry to show off their power in front of the two armies. He was so angry that he could only wait for the Hongyi cannon to be delivered before considering attacking Xishan Village.

The remaining refugees finally fled to the village gate at this time. They knelt outside the village gate, kowtowed repeatedly, and loudly begged Xishan Village to open the village gate and let them in for refuge.

At this time, Wu Shengtian made the people in the village ready to accept these refugees, set aside an open space for the village soldiers to surround, and then ordered the gates of the village to be opened to allow these refugees to enter.

The suspension bridge creaked and was slowly lowered by the windlass, and it was set up on the trench. The suspension bridge assembled from heavy logs fell to the ground with a bang. The arm-thick hemp ropes holding the suspension bridge on both sides were in a state of tension at any time.

It can be seen that as long as the command is given, the suspension bridge will be opened immediately.

The platoon of soldiers who had been prepared inside the village gate were all equipped with bayonets at this moment. The bright bayonets were pointed at the village gate. The village gate was slowly opened from the inside. As soon as the village gate was opened, those who had already

Desperate refugees, with tears in their eyes and cries, swarmed in and rushed towards the village.

The refugees were really frightened now, for fear that they would not be able to enter the village if they slowed down, so they pushed each other and squeezed onto the suspension bridge. The suspension bridge made a creaking sound when they stepped on it. Some were weak and could not squeeze through others. If they were not careful, they would

They were squeezed into the ditch under the suspension bridge.

In the trench, Liu BuTong and Wu Shengtian had ordered many sharp wooden stakes to be buried in advance. After pouring water on them, the sharp wooden stakes were frozen firmly. As soon as a person fell into the trench, he was immediately impaled to death.

On the pointed wooden stake, screams rang out one after another, and blood spattered out of Lao Gao, which made people feel miserable to watch.

So someone above shouted loudly: "Don't squeeze! Come in one by one. If anyone is squeezing, close the suspension bridge so that no one can get in! Slow down, don't squeeze..."

Amidst the shouts and curses of the rural soldiers in Xishan Village, these refugees became a little calmer. Seeing someone falling into the trench and being impaled to death on a sharp wooden stake made them dare not move and could only slow down.

, one after another began to walk towards the village.

Liu BuTong's worries were justified. As expected, there were several dead rebels hidden among the refugees. These guys were also wearing refugee clothes and mixed among the refugees. One was to monitor the refugees, and the other was to look for opportunities and try to break into the village.

Now that Xishan Village has taken the initiative to lower the suspension bridge and open the village gate, these spies among the refugees immediately spotted the opportunity. As long as the ropes of the suspension bridge are cut off, Xishan Village will not be able to raise the suspension bridge.

When they come down to attack Xishan Village, it will play a huge role.

So these spies looked at each other, sandwiched in the crowd, and slowly walked onto the suspension bridge. Just as they stepped onto the suspension bridge, several people began to explode at the same time, pulling out the bright and shining penis from their arms.

The thick-backed dagger roared and rushed towards the ropes of the suspension bridge on both sides. He waved the dagger in his hand high and slashed at the ropes.

At this moment, Wu Shengtian, who had been carefully observing the situation of the refugees below at the gate of the village, saw at a glance that something was not right about these spies. When they stood up and drew out their daggers, he immediately shouted sharply:

"Kill those spies! Open fire!"

The first-class shooters who had been prepared for a long time immediately began to target the spies. When they heard a burst of gunshots, the spies suddenly froze and sprayed out streaks of gunfire from their bodies.

Bloody beads swayed one after another and fell onto the suspension bridge.

Only one person was only slightly injured. He struggled and rushed to the rope of the suspension bridge. He waved the short knife in his hand and roared like a wild beast. He used all the sharp weapons in his body to slash at the rope.

At this critical moment, there was a sudden whooshing sound from the wall on the side, and a sharp arrow left the string and shot at the desperado as if it had eyes.

The sharp arrow shot directly into the man's neck with a pop. The sharp arrow cluster cut off the desperado's neck artery, and then penetrated deeply into his breast wall and nailed his spine.

, instantly cutting off his nerves and paralyzing his body instantly.

The desperado screamed, staring with unwilling eyes, and fell off the suspension bridge. The heavy and thick short knife in his hand was also thrown far away, and fell into the ditch. His falling body was instantly

Even if it was impaled on a sharp wooden stake in a trench.

After the trench in Xishan Village was dug, no water was put in. Instead, a diversion ditch was dug to divert the water that usually accumulated in the ditch.

Because the weather here is very cold in winter, once water is put into the trench, it will quickly form thick ice in winter, which will lose its defensive role. Therefore, in many places in the north, although some fortresses and even cities have dug trenches and moats

, but under normal circumstances, the water must be drained before winter to prevent the water from freezing in winter.

Xishan Village also does this, so this trench can still provide considerable defense for the village in winter.

The desperado fell into the ditch and was immediately penetrated. He could not die anymore, but he frightened the refugees next to him so much that they also realized that there was a spy among them, and they were all frightened.

With pale faces, they all hurriedly knelt down on the suspension bridge, kowtowed and begged for mercy, fearing that the soldiers from Xishan Village would become angry with them and kill them all.

The random shooting just now killed a few spies, but also accidentally injured a few refugees. Now the people who survived fell on the suspension bridge, screaming and rolling, and some people rolled directly into the ditch.

, and was impaled to death on a pointed stake.

It was only then that someone from above shouted loudly: "Everyone put their heads in their hands, raise their arms, and enter the camp slowly. If anyone puts down his hands, he will be shot immediately!"

After hearing this, the refugees quickly raised their arms, hugged the backs of their heads, and began to stand up and walk toward the center of the village.

It was only then that Liu BuTong and Wu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. They thought of the arrow shot from the side at the critical moment, so they turned around to see where the arrow came from.

At this time, everyone got out of the way, revealing a young man who was thin but looked very strong and strong. At this time, he was holding a hard bow and a carved feather arrow in one hand.

It was obvious that he had shot the arrow just now.

"Small country soldier company, third platoon archer Zheng Erbao, meet you two masters!" The archer saw Liu BuTong and Wu Shengtian looking at him, so he quickly knelt down on one knee and announced his name.

Wu Shengtian nodded and said with satisfaction: "Your arrows are very accurate. I will be credited with one merit and rewarded with five taels of silver. In the evening, I will add a bowl of meat and a jug of wine!"

Zheng Erbao was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly kowtowed in thanks.

Both Wu Shengtian and Liu BuTong knew this Zheng Erbao. This guy used to be a hunter, and he practiced archery with his father. In recent years, the area has not been peaceful. Their family was also broken up by bandits, leaving him with only one younger brother.

He escaped the bandit attack on the village and was later taken into the village by Liu BuTong and became an infantry archer in the village soldier company.

Today he happened to be on the wall to help in the battle. He just saw the spy trying to cut the ropes of the suspension bridge, so he immediately fired an arrow and accurately shot the guy to death, which was considered a great achievement.

After hearing this, other people were quite envious of this guy and stepped forward to congratulate him.

The war was not over yet, and Wu Shengtian and the others did not say anything more. They watched as the refugees entered the village and were driven to the open space, where they were guarded by rural soldiers.

Then they were taken out one by one for a body search, and two more spies were found who had hidden sharp blades. One of the spies was furious and wanted to fight, but was immediately stabbed over by several rural soldiers with long spears, and then cut into pieces with knives.

Seeing that he could not escape, another spy screamed strangely, drew his dagger, took a refugee as a hostage, and demanded that he be released from the village.

In the tension, the controlled refugee was so frightened that he peed his pants and begged loudly not to kill him. However, under such circumstances, Wu Shengtian did not hesitate and immediately ordered to take action. Several rural soldiers went up and stabbed him with spears.

The hostages and the spy were all immediately thrown to the ground, and then the spy's head was chopped off and the body was thrown out of the wall.

It was only after a thorough inspection and no spies with hidden knives were found that the refugees were temporarily kept, locked up in a courtyard, and put under supervision. Someone was also sent to make a pot of hot porridge for them and send them in.

They were distributed in the yard.

Regardless of whether this was a trivial matter or not, the two sides formed a temporary stalemate, and the rebels did not organize a new offensive immediately.

Liu BuTong asked Wu Shengtian: "Old Wu, why did you say the rebels stopped? To say that their losses just now were not too great. There are so many of them, there is no reason to stop! We should attack again before dark

Only once! But why is there no movement?"

Wu Shengtian took out his telescope, and he and Liu BuTong boarded a towering observation tower at the corner of the village. He took out his telescope and held it close to his eyes to observe the enemy troops outside the village and beyond.
