Chapter 70
Chapter 70 0 casualties siege
Richard’s team arrived earlier than Bu Haoyu and Xu Feizhi expected. The next morning after Xu Feizhi’s report, Richard’s team was already on the ground!
If it weren’t for transporting the siege ladder from Lijia Village, Richard’s team could reach Dashi Town yesterday. After all, the distance between the two parties is not too far.
During the march, the guilt battalion was part-time as a major camp, and all the transportation work basically fell on their shoulders. Only the most important food would be transported by the Ming army camp.
Xu Feizhi, who was busy instructing his family to clean up his wealth all night, quickly got a report from Richard’s army and soldiers approaching the city.
After Xu Feizhi received the news, he first asked the servant to go to the official office to investigate the news. Not surprisingly, Bu Haoyu was not in the official office at all!
Except for some old janitors, there is not even a single official servant in the government office, because the remaining more than 100 official servants in Dashi Town have long been arranged to recruit young people and lead people to patrol and guard the city. Yamen has always been a stepping stone. Haoyu’s family is taking care of it.
After Xu Feizhi learned that Bu Haoyu’s family had not been found in the yamen, he took his confidant and servant to visit the city, and let the officials and the recruited guards see him.
In addition, he also flicked in public for a while, poured a large bowl of chicken soup into the crowd in plain and easy-to-understand vernacular, shouted a few slogans, and even mentioned the attitude of guarding the city officials and the young and Zhuang, even observing the enemy’s feelings. I didn’t care, I issued a strict order to wait for help, and left the city with my servant…
Because Richard did not start to attack the city, the officials and young men guarding on the wall still maintained good discipline. Those young men and young men who dare not to take trouble at this time, it is not considered that the government officials killed the young men and men on the spot. What a big deal.
However, when Xu Feizhi left like this, the mood that he had just raised dropped again. Whether it was a bureaucrat or a young man, they were quietly discussing why the head catcher did not stay in the city…
You need to know that the Richard team outside the city has already set up its position, and it will not take long for the siege ladder to be pushed up!
Xu Feizhi, who returned home, had to order his family to give up those belongings that were not easy to move, and only brought light floating wealth and some valuable objects, hurriedly got on the carriage and rushed to the ‘back door’ of Dashi Town.
At this moment, a continuous offensive horn sounded outside Dashi Town.
The guilt camp of more than 500 people carried the siege ladder, under the swords and guns of the Pioneer Camp, jogging towards the head of Dashi Town.
This is the first battle of the guilt camp. If it succeeds, they will be one step closer to the goal of the three wars.
Therefore, the young men of the guilt camp are still working hard. After all, they are only in charge of resisting the ladder and are not required to go to the city to fight.
The main task of ascending to the city was the vanguard battalion composed of the Semu soldiers.
The Semuren descended soldiers of the Pioneer Camp, under the shouts of the Han officers, moved forward slowly with a bitter face.
They did not expect that they had just experienced a big battle yesterday, and they will be escorted to the front to attack the city today!
Richard, the master is not much better than the government!
The most important thing is that Richard hasn’t allowed a big raid after breaking the city!
This makes the Semuren of the vanguard camp do not have much offensive mood at all. If the Ming army camp at the back is not acting as the supervising team, they will not initiate an assault…
The Semuren descended soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion have seen the scene of the Ming army hacking and killing the Semuren deserters on the battlefield, and there is no doubt that they will end up after turning around…
Of course, this group of Semu soldiers has become accustomed to being driven to fight like this. When they served as soldiers in Gaoxiang County, they were often escorted to the battlefield by the army superintendent team behind them.
The vanguard battalion of this kind of morale does not actually have much combat effectiveness, but Richard knows exactly what is going on in Dashi Town. More than 2,000 vanguard battalions have taken turns attacking a defensive that has only a mere over a hundred officials and a group of officials who have never fought. Chengqingzhuang is still okay.
There is no worst, only worse!
However, when the siege ladder of the guilt camp entered the effective range of the crossbow on the wall of Dashi Town, the situation was better than Richard had imagined. Not only was there no archery rain on the wall of Dashi Town, but he fell into chaos. among.
The officials on the walls of Dashi Town saw thousands of people attacking, and their calves began to weaken on the spot. As for those who were forced to conquer, they were young and strong, and their performance was even more unbearable. Some even fled down the city regardless of the officials and officials in the war. go with!
The official officials had to be busy hacking and killing the escaped guard youths, but unfortunately, the number of officials and guards was too small compared to the guard youths, and fleeing can be contagious!
Naturally, no one had the time to shoot arrows down. When the siege ladder was erected on the soil wall of Dashi Town, even the officials and government officials were frightened. There was not a prestigious Shangguan to suppress them. These officials and government officials one by one. Go back until you step back down the city wall…
As a result When the Semenites of the Pioneer Battalion, driven by Han officers, descended and reluctantly mounted their weapons on the city wall, they found that they didn’t need to face the battle…
The so-called ‘defender’ on the city wall saw the enemy ascending to the city’s head.
The officials who were still under pressure before took the lead to escape!
In order to leave the city as quickly as possible, the officials did not even need weapons, and even took off their clothes while running. They were all natives of Dashi Town, and they turned into the alley and soon they could go home and put on a set of civilian clothes. , Transformed into a good citizen…
As for defending the city, even the steps of changing clothes are saved!
Escape, they are serious!
No one turned around to fight!
Originally morale was low, the unwilling soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion saw this scene, first they were shocked, and then they waved their weapons with joy, screamed the slogan of killing the enemy, and rushed to the head of the city…
Soon, in Richard’s field of vision, the “Tang” banner hanging on the top of the city was cut off, and the “Ming” banner that Richard asked Lijiacun tailors to sew temporarily was inserted in a nondescript manner… …
Richard saw such a relaxing scene, and couldn’t help but mutter: “I knew this before, so I would just send someone to persuade you to surrender to Dashi Town…”
whispered back whispered, Richard immediately sent the Ming Barracks to maintain military discipline in order to avoid the Pioneer Camp, which was ascending to the city, from damaging Dashi Town. Later, he felt that it was not safe enough, and the fifth-barracks infantry with first-class general discipline was also sent in!
Dashi Town has been regarded by Richard as something in his pocket. Naturally, he will not allow the Semu of the Pioneer Battalion to drop soldiers to rob his property!
Richard’s actions were still very effective. When the Semu soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion planned to plunder, the Ming Barracks had entered the city and began to clear the ground, and no one was injured or killed in the entire battle…
