Daming pirates

Not long after, corpses fell to the ground on one side of Tuweizi. Blood spurted out and steamed, but it was quickly frozen again and turned into pieces of blood ice.

Even the corpses were frozen on the ground. Looking from above, one could see a bright red color, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke and blood, which made people nauseous.

Zhang Tao felt a little like crying. He never thought that this time he wanted to pick a soft persimmon and let Chen Guangfu see what he was capable of. After returning, he would not be able to find a chief soldier, even a deputy chief soldier.

Dangdang, but I didn't expect that this time when he ran over happily, he kicked a super hard iron plate.

In the attack on Xishan Village, he suffered heavy losses and had no choice. Now he came to attack Tuwei, but the result was still the same. Groups of rebels were filled in by him, but they were quickly slaughtered. After another fierce battle for most of the day,

He killed hundreds more of his men, and now all those rebel generals and rebels were gone, not with such deceitful people.

They became rebels because they wanted to get rich, enjoy themselves, and play with women, not to die. If Zhang Tao kept going like this, they would all be played to death by Zhang Tao in a few days.

So when Zhang Tao ordered again to fill up a group of troops, he found that his order was not easy to implement. The rebels who were ordered to do so were disobedient and disrespectful. I strongly advised Zhang Tao not to continue fighting like this.

Well, we can't conquer Xishan Village. If we don't attack, we can find another place to pick the weak persimmons.

There is no need for them to fight to the end here, and they will all be filled in in the end. In that case, they will have nothing to do.

Zhang Tao was so angry that he immediately wanted to kill several people to establish his authority and force them to send troops to attack Tuweizi. However, when he just asked his soldiers to kill people, the rebels also stared in anger and raised their hands.

I made a weapon and made it look like it would lead to death anyway. I will try my best today and will not die in vain again.

Zhang Tao glanced at the rebel soldiers and generals around him, and when he saw that they all looked at him with unkind eyes, he was secretly frightened, and then quickly withdrew his orders and ordered the troops to retreat.

After withdrawing to their base camp again, Zhang Tao discussed with his rebel generals all night, and finally had to admit defeat. This Xishan Village was not easy to deal with. They really couldn't defeat it. The losses this time were already too great. If they continued to fight, their morale would be lost.

There would be no good results if nothing was done, so Zhang Tao, although reluctant, finally had to choose to withdraw to Muping County, and cooperate with Chen Guangfu to attack the county first, and it would be fine if he could capture Muping County.

On the morning of the fourth day, the rebels withdrew their camp in dejection and withdrew dejectedly towards Mouping County. When the people in Xishan Village and Tuweizi heard the news, they couldn't help but revel again.

Wu Shengtian and Liu Bubu did not lead their troops to pursue the rebels. This kind of thing was beyond their control. As long as the rebels did not come to attack Xishan Village and Tuweizi, then they would not bother to care about what the rebels were doing. Of course, Muping County was

, is also within their defensive range. After all, there is nearly a company of their brothers in the county.

After watching the rebels retreat, Liu Buping quickly sent people to collect the corpses of the rebels, including some refugees who had been killed. He was not merciful and wanted to bury the corpses of the rebels, but sent people to chop off the heads.

In his eyes, these heads are nothing but money. The two to three hundred rebels they killed more than ten days ago and the heads they chopped off have long been reserved by officials or military generals. The news is in

After the news spread secretly, many officials and generals from surrounding areas sent people to contact them in the past few days, trying to order some rebel heads.

This time the rebels came to attack Xishan Village and Tuweizi. In four days, nearly a thousand people were killed. The supply of these heads was not in short supply. The price was now almost thirty taels of silver. A thousand heads were only three.

Thousands of taels of wasted money, if I don’t get it now, this store will no longer exist in this village.

So looking at the mountains of rebel heads, Liu Bu grinned with joy. He didn't think these heads were scary at all, but he found them quite pleasing to the eye. It won't take long for these heads to be sold out again.

This is a good deal with huge profits!

Looking at Liu BuTong's secretly amused face, Wu Shengtian asked him coldly: "Are you thinking about it right now, what if the rebels could come again?"

Liu BuTong was looking at those heads, his mouth was watering, and he didn't react. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes!"

Wu Shengtian's forehead was suddenly filled with black lines, and he almost kicked this money-grubbing guy away with his flying kick, and cursed: "You have a good idea, and you are not afraid of being strangled to death!"

Only then did Liu BuTong realize that he had spilled the beans. He quickly pulled Wu Shengtian with a dry smile and wanted to have a drink in private and relax.

Just when the war in Xishan Village ended with great success, Muping County was also caught in a bitter battle. After Zhang Tao brought reinforcements and two Hongyi cannons, Chen Guangfu divided the work with Zhang Tao, and Chen Guangfu

He led part of the rebels and continued to attack Mouping County, while Zhang Tao led his troops to attack Xishan Village.

After Zhang Tao left, Chen Guangfu also began to lead his army to attack Muping County. He first sent troops to various city gates and tested them, but still found that the north gate was the most difficult to deal with. There was a group of defenders at the north gate with unknown origins and many sharp weapons.

Bird Gun, one of his subordinates, led by eight hundred troops this time, went to test the pass of the north gate.

However, he retreated back after a while. The general who was sent to lead the troops was actually outside the gate of Beiguan, nearly 300 steps away from the gate. Inexplicably, he was hit by a rocket that flew out of nowhere.

The bullet hit him right in the head, causing his brain to burst and he died on the spot.

After hearing this, Chen Guangfu didn't believe it at first, and then he was shocked. Combined with what Mr. Qian named Wan who was outside Xishan Village was almost annihilated by Xishan Village, he thought about it.

Really, there is no doubt that there is such a sharp bird gun in this world that can kill people from three hundred steps away. Although it is incredible, after these two incidents, this matter is not necessarily certain.

Not true.

Moreover, many of the defeated rebels confirmed that this was absolutely true. Not only was the rebel general himself beaten to death at such a long distance, but there were also many people who were inexplicably killed at this distance.

He was killed and wounded by flying bullets, and he was absolutely not telling lies.

Chen Guangfu was even more careful now, and directly designated the distance within three hundred steps of the city wall as his restricted area. In the future, he could not be careless and break into this distance, otherwise, he would not be able to do anything.

Well, he will also be killed by this inexplicable bullet.

As for the North Gate Pass, Chen Guangfu was not so stubborn. He knew it was difficult to deal with, but he still sent people to attack it. Since the North Gate was difficult to attack, he would attack other gates, so he gave up and continued to attack the North Gate.

He just sent people to block the north gate area from a distance, and he himself, after so many days of testing, decided to personally lead the troops to attack the south gate.

The south gate of Mouping County was flooded in the nearby Xin'an River a few years ago. The flood soaked the south gate for a long time, causing damage to many places on the southern city wall. Although some repairs were made afterwards, the foundation was still intact.

The city wall was damaged and cracked in some places, so the southern city wall is the weakest part of Muping County.

Therefore, after careful observation, he finally selected the southern city wall as a breakthrough, concentrated his forces, and began to storm the south city gate area.

At the same time, he brought the two bronze cannons brought by the army and the Hongyi cannon brought by Zhang Tao this time to the south gate area, set them up outside the city, and began to blast the damaged section of the city wall in the south.

.

Within two days, the Nanmen area was violently attacked by the rebels. Although the defenders in Mouping County also put up some resistance, the defense was always in a shaky state.

The damaged section of the city wall in the south was also subjected to heavy shelling by the rebels for two consecutive days. Two large cannons and one Hongyi cannon repeatedly fired at this section of the city wall, causing city bricks to fly randomly.

, and soon the outer city bricks were peeled off by the cannons and the inner rammed earth structure collapsed with a crash.

The interior of this section of the city wall itself has been flooded, cracked, and the main structure is not stable. Coupled with the erosion of year-round freezing and summer rain, the structure of the city wall is much weaker than the walls in other places.

After two consecutive days of heavy shelling by the rebels, the rebels also crossed the moat and placed more than 200 kilograms of gunpowder at the foot of the city wall. After detonating it, a hole was blown into the city wall. This section of the city wall seemed to be destroyed.

About to collapse.

At this time, a smarter official came up with a way, and asked Zhao Zhizhou to mobilize manpower to draw a large amount of water from wells all over the city. After heating it, he would transport it up to the city wall overnight and pour it down along the city wall all night long.

In between, this section of the city wall was frozen solid.

This temporarily stabilized the crumbling city wall. An angry Chen Guangfu also jumped up and cursed. It can be said that winter is very unfavorable for the attacking side. The weather has become their natural enemy, so the defending side can make full use of this situation.

Cold weather to deal with the attacking side.

Although this method of watering and freezing to stabilize the city wall is good for the time being, everyone knows that this method can only last until spring.

Once the weather gets warmer and the ice and snow begin to melt, this damaged city wall will definitely turn into crumbs inside after being watered and frozen. Once the ice and snow melt, this section of the city wall will definitely no longer be able to hold on.

It will surely collapse immediately.

But there is no other way at the moment. Although we know that the city wall will collapse after the spring, if we don't use this method at this time, then the Muping County town will definitely not be able to defend it.
