358 Bloody Battle of Wanxian County
In the era of the collapse of laws and regulations, human life is as cheap as grass, and the most valuable thing is human life. At least in Ainengqi's eyes, this is the value. Ainengqi is not only cruel to himself, but also throws life and death behind every charge, and is also cruel to ordinary people. When he treats innocent people as cannon fodder, he does not feel soft-hearted at all.¢££
Using the people to consume the opponent's sharpness and resources is the battlefield secrets of the bandits, and Ainengqi was no exception. He saw the people being driven forward and fell in groups as the roar of sharp arrows and muskets. Some were penetrated by an arrow and fell to the ground and died. Some were hit by muskets and struggled on the ground. For a moment, corpses were everywhere and cries were trembling. But Ainengqi didn't see these. All he saw was the sharp arrows and iron balls shot from the city wall.
Come on, shoot more, shoot more, Ainengqi screamed in his heart, it felt like Zhuge Liang borrowed an arrow from a straw boat back then. Looking at the flying arrows all over the sky, it felt so good.
"General, the first team was wiped out." General Zhang Hualong stepped forward to report.
Ainengqi sat on the tutor, picked up a glass of freshly filled wine, and said lightly: "Continue."
"Yes, General."
Zhang Hualong made a gesture, and then a horn sound blew up, and another group of people continued to rush toward the city walls crying because they were cannon fodder.
"Official, don't kill me, I'm forced."
"Give me your life, I'm a good citizen, don't kill me."
"Pity us, please do you think you're sorry"
"Don't kill me, my uncle is a Qianhu in Liaodong, and my uncle is a Qianhu in Liaodong."
Almost the same scene happened again, and these people were driven upwards. Unfortunately, the only meaning of their death was to consume the arrows and ammunition of the Sichuan Army. The poor people fell down one after another, and Ainengqi drove people to the battlefield one after another. The Sichuan Army knew that this was a trap, but it had to deal with it. When the cunning Ainengqi saw that the firepower of the Sichuan Army was weak, he would send soldiers to follow the people and wait for an opportunity to seize the city. When the Sichuan Army strengthened its firepower, it stepped up and retreated.
In short, it is not to let the Sichuan army calm down. From the afternoon to the evening, Ainengqi ordered his subordinates to build a fire and light a torch to attack day and night. Outside the gate of Wanxian, corpses were piled up like mountains and blood flowed into a river. A gust of north wind blew, and the wind was full of blood.
First batch, second batch, third batch... When the 23rd batch of people rushed forward crying, it was already dawn. The red sun shone on the blood-stained earth, on the broken legs and limbs on the ground, on the cold corpses, on the desperate faces, bringing hope to all things, the vibrant sunlight combined with the scene like the Shura hell, everything seemed so strange.
Courage does not represent strength. Eggs are eggs and can never be knocked down by stones. The last destination of these people is to be shot and killed in front of the city wall like beasts. Although they died in battle, history will not remember them.
When the last scream of the 23rd group of people rang, the fire stopped firing. The scene was lonely, and Ainengqi suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bright eyes, and stood up suddenly, saying loudly: "Come here, I'll send me Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong."
Soon, Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong walked to the ceremony respectfully: "See General."
Ainengqi said simply and directly: "You are ready. Start the general attack immediately, the time is up."
"General" Ma Yuanli said with some concern: "After fighting for so long, the Sichuan army has not yet died. I am afraid that my brothers will be seriously injured."
"Yes, General," Zhang Hualong, who was standing beside him, also persuaded: "When I send people to capture more people, they act as cannon fodder, and they consume the strength of the Sichuan Army more, and our chances of winning will be greater."
War will kill people. It is best to die for fellow Taoists. If the enemy loses little, it is suicide.
Ainengqi said coldly: "The most important thing these Sichuan troops rely on is firearms, and the most taboo thing we are is firearms. Yes, these Sichuan troops were very powerful at the beginning, but there is a fatal point in the muskets, that is, excessive use will cause bends or even ruptures. Judging from the gunshots, after a day and a night of consumption, most of these muskets have been dumb, and the firepower has been significantly reduced. They have few people, and they have persisted for a day and a night, and now they are tired. At this point, the attack is just right. First, they just want to replace the muskets or transfer muskets from other places. Second, most of the people we carried were dead, and the remaining ones are young and strong, the main force who helped us carry them. If all these people die, who will help us carry the baggage?"
After pausing, Ainengqi gritted his teeth and said, "In addition, Tanma said that this good brother is only one day away from here. If we don't take action, when he leads his troops here, he will get half of the credit score and say that he can't get anything."
Although Ainengqi was lying on the chair of the Grand Master, he closed his eyes and rested as if he ignored anything, in fact he had been calculating and analyzing information and waiting for the opportunity. Sun Kewang's troops were less than a day away from here. If he didn't take action, the credit would be given to him. Ainengqi could not accept anything.
Even if you lose more, you have to start it.
Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong said in unison when they heard this: "Yes, General."
"Go, we are divided into three groups. I will attack the south, that is, the main gate. Ma Yuanli will lead his army to attack its west gate and Zhang Huamen will lead his army to attack its east gate. Remember to go and rush for me. At all costs, you must take Wanxian as quickly as possible."
"Yes, General."
Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong responded loudly when they heard this, and then they went to all their subordinates to prepare for the siege.
The three sides of the circumference and one side of the garrison left a way out for the defenders, so that they could not inspire their ambition to die without a retreat, which would increase their casualties. Ainengqi naturally understood this truth.
After Ma Zhang and the others retreated, Ainengqi suddenly shouted loudly: "Come on, bring my armor."
Soon, a confidant guard presented a set of exquisitely made and domineering Shan Wenjia to serve Ainengqi wearing it. The silver-white armor was beautifully shaped and handmade, with tiger-like patterns engraved on it. It was extremely exquisite, with chest protection glasses, heart protection glasses, arm accessories and other objects on it, as well as protective equipment such as gold wire soft armor.
Fierce is fierce, fighting is fighting, and daring to charge does not mean even wanting life. Ainengqi also cherishes his life. Before every charge, he will wear armor and other things well. I really didn't say that this silver-white mountain armor saved Ainengqi several times. Otherwise, with his impulsive personality, nine lives would probably not be enough to die.
The soldiers are very fast. About a quarter of an hour later, the three armies were neat, including swords, shields, longbows, and muskets. They began to line up in front of the formation one by one, and finally no longer used innocent people as inner shields.
Ainengqi was standing and horse patrol. Soon, he drew out his scimitar and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with me, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and have many awards. The first one to attack Wanxian will be rewarded with ten silver taels, and there are ten beauties, kill!"
Unlike other generals, Ainengqi not only had slogans but also had actions. As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sword and slapped his horse and rushed forward. When he saw his generals so brave, his subordinates were deeply inspired, and they all carried weapons and rushed forward with the sound of killing the world.
"The general has an order, and those who are afraid of the battle will be killed without any hesitation."
"Kill me, kill all these Sichuan kids."
"Brothers, let's fight, and it's time to make achievements."
"Kill me, who dares to admit defeat in this place? I will crush Guawazi's mind."
"Surrender and not kill"
As soon as Ainengqi moved, everyone moved. Shield soldiers, longbow soldiers, musketeers, ladders, crashes, etc. all came out. The group divided into three groups and launched the largest charge towards Wanxian.
"Swoosh swish swish"
"Bang bang..."
The Sichuan Army, who was guarding the city, quickly responded with arrows and iron pills, but unfortunately the counterattack was far less powerful than yesterday. At that time, not only was the ammunition sufficient, but the morale was also high. Unfortunately, after a hard fight for a day and a night, the reserves of spirit and food and medicine were not good.
Continuous combat will cause great damage to the muskets. Many muskets are bent or exploded due to overheating, and the lethality of the arrows is greatly reduced after being pulled for a whole day. Perhaps this is why Ainengqi led his people to attack the city wall in less than two quarters of an hour. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
