The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 64 Siege
Zhou Ji, the general banner of Donghai Fort, was left behind, and Li Dun led dozens of people to guard the fleet. Except for fishing boats that docked on the shore, all large ships were at sea.

The two watched the figures of the large army disappear into the night. There was no noisy sound on the entire coast, and it seemed very quiet.

Waiting is the most frustrating, and so are the two of them.

He also hoped that the army would return smoothly, but also worried that a group of barbarians would suddenly appear. Although he knew it was unlikely, he still felt restless.

Yangguan Fort is a small fort, the walls are not high, and the Caspian Sea is only [-] miles away. According to the original plan, the garrison of Yongning Jiancheng will lead the army to ambush, cover up and kill the barbarians who have returned to the city, and prevent the news from spreading.

It's just that things are unpredictable, and the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Now there are only a few dozen people in Yangguanbao, and if they don't take it, they will be blamed instead. If they continue to wait, they may miss a good opportunity.

It is recorded in "Wei Liao Zi" that the ordinary army marched normally, about forty miles a day, but this included luggage, and it was still a large army.

Tang Qing'an's team was only 1000 people, and the team was small. Except for a dozen ladders, they all went into battle lightly.

It's not yet Zishi, Yinshi can rush to Yangguanbao, and he can rest for a while to recover his strength.

Launching an attack before dawn at Maoshi is the best time for a sneak attack.

Everyone can't make the slightest sound, and those who can't see the way clearly hold the corner of the robe in front of them, and everyone walks in turn to prevent anyone from falling behind.

After walking all night, the riders sent news that Yangguan Fort was ahead, the team stopped and sat down to recover their strength.

Tang Qing'an led the generals to observe ahead. In the night, he could only see the outline of the city wall, which was neither big nor high.

"There are only a few dozen people in Yangguanbao, and at most there are only 20 people on guard at night, separated on the city wall, there are three or four people everywhere.

You three teams are each fifty steps apart. If the opponent fails to find the best, even if they find it, you will attack by force. "

Tang Qing'an pointed to several places on the wall, and discussed with Liu Chengmin and others.

"No matter how you count, the opponent only has dozens of people, and we have no intention of beating them. Even if we find out, if we rush up, can he beat a hundred?"

Li Shenghu didn't care.

Lord Bei Yu said that the more successful they harassed the barbarians in the rear, the more powerless the barbarians would be to attack Beizhen.

His father went to Beizhen, and Li Shenghu was the most war-hearted, hoping to find a way out for his father.

Tang Qing'an explained to Wu Zhenmeng and Zhang Bo again, everything was well communicated, and finally said: "When my bugler blows the horn, no matter what the situation is, each general must lead his troops out."

Seeing that everyone has no objection, let the generals go back and call the soldiers to set off.

None of this group of people went to the battlefield, no matter how indifferent they were at the beginning, even Liu Chengmin couldn't help swallowing when the incident came to an end.

On the contrary, the [-] rout soldiers gathered were the calmest, and their calmness gradually affected the others.

A few years later, after three or five years, the elites from Liaodong were transferred from all over the country, and all of them were killed or injured. The new recruits had only fear in the face of the barbarians, and they only dared to defend the city and dared not take the initiative to attack.

The same is true for Tang Qing'an.

His self-confidence comes from the information explosion he has experienced in later generations, knowing what opportunities are beneficial to him now, and it also comes from his desire not to continue to be ordinary.

Before crossing, he was already ordinary enough. After crossing, let him continue to be ordinary. He would rather go all out and do his best.

After so many years of preparation, isn't it just for today.

1000 people beat dozens of people.

He has been stable for so many years, but today he will no longer be stable, and he needs to muster up the courage to work hard.

Liu Chengmin led the team to touch the city wall smoothly, and found Li Shenghu's eyes looking at him from a distance, and his heart gradually calmed down.

He nodded, took a deep breath, and let the brothers climb the ladder.

"..."

There was a loud shout from the city wall, and they couldn't understand what the other party said, but everyone was shocked, knowing that they had been discovered.

Liu Chengmin raised his head, but there was no one above him, could it be that Li Shenghu was discovered?
Unable to control so much, he carried the gun and the waist knife behind his back, and he personally took the lead, leading his brothers to climb up the five ladders, and quickly ascended with hands and feet.

It wasn't until he reached the city wall that he realized that there were no people there. As more and more brothers were on the city wall, he organized them together.

Leading the team to run to the noisy place, it turned out that it was Chen Kaiwu and the others.

Chen Kaiwu secretly groaned, the two defenders on the city wall shot their arrows very accurately, under the reflection of the bonfire, one arrow at a time had already injured four or five of his brothers.

"Bang bang bang."

Chen Kaiwu was not ignorant of soldiers, and while urging people up the ladder, he asked the rest of the soldiers to release their blunderbusses. The blazes from the blunderbusses in the night were extremely dazzling.

It's just that the barbarians on the city wall were very cautious. When they saw the people under the city wall raising their guns, they shrank their heads, but they all let go.

"..."

"..."

The two barbarians exchanged for a while, then poked their heads out to take a look. Seeing someone climbing, they got up and shot two more times.

Seeing that another person in his house was injured and fell down, Chen Kaiwu became anxious.

"Damn it, don't fire your guns empty, aim at the city wall, and shoot them together when they show their heads."

Bird guns are matchlock guns, not cannons.

In TV dramas, it is a wrong cover-up to use a fire zip to order, light a matchlock and fire a gun.

The matchlock of the bird gun is specially made, soaked in potion and dried in the sun, burning slowly like mosquito coils.

A match can burn for half an hour, and it is clamped with a serpentine rod. According to the progress of the burning, a piece of it is clamped out from time to time. After refilling the gunpowder and lead, it can be fired.

The two barbarians were very cunning. Knowing that the accuracy of the firearms was poor, they cut the wall and shot, and then changed the direction after shooting an arrow.

"Bang bang bang."

Dozens of bird guns were fired at the same time, and the two master archers on the city wall grunted and were shot into sieves.

Liu Chengmin led the team to come. At such a short distance, they are not afraid that they will not die under a row of guns.

Chen Kaiwu heard the movement on the wall and knew that someone had come to support them. He was both happy and angry. His team was not the first to climb the wall.

The first achievement is gone.

He quickly climbed up the city wall with the soldiers, and saw a group of barbarians killing them as soon as he came up.
Although there were only seven or eight people, everyone wore armor, especially the leader, who held a mace and swung it vigorously.

There were only a dozen or so soldiers who climbed the city wall, and they were so frightened that they backed up again and again, and they had already reached the corner of the wall. Chen Kaiwu had a bitter face, and panicked in his heart.

"Bang bang bang."

Liu Chengmin has been practicing firearms for a long time, as the elder brother said, although bows and arrows are good, they need time, but they don't have time.

The barbarian holding a mace looked down at the hole in his chest armor, and felt a piece of iron rolling in his internal organs.

"call."

With a muffled sound like a wild beast, he turned his head and rushed into Li Shenghu's team, blowing the heads of two people in a row.

The crowd scattered in fright, Li Shenghu was about to step forward when he saw this, when the barbarian suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Blood gushed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes turned white, and he fell down straight.

"What a ruthless person."

Chen Kaiwu was in a trance.

"Go, you go to open the city gate, and I will support Li Shenghu."

Liu Chengmin roared.
