Chapter 78 Fierce Fighting

Seeing that the earth-moving vehicles were effective and the Ming army abandoned the first trench, Liu Fangliang was overjoyed and shouted an order to seize the first trench.

Following the order, the bandits ran out from behind the trucks and rushed towards the first trench.

As soon as they emerged, in the second trench, gunshots like exploding beans roared again, and rows of bullets flew out, hitting the bodies that were not covered by bulldozers, knocking them down one after another like cutting leeks. .

But the first trench was right in front of them, and all the bandits threw themselves at the first trench, risking their lives and jumping in like dumplings.

Some jumped down on their own initiative, but most fell down as corpses and wounded.

In a blink of an eye, the first trench was filled.

If there is a grenade here, even if it is a brick, if you drop a brick, you will definitely hit a few. Lu Mou muttered regretfully.

The trenches were full and there was no room left, so the brave man climbed out of the trenches and launched an attack on the second trench. Of course, their end was tragic, and almost none of them survived.

Suddenly someone shouted: "There is a passage back here, rush."

Only then did people discover that, indeed, every other section had a passage leading to the second trench. The bandits shouted and fought along the traffic trench towards the second road.

However, on the opposite side of each communication trench, there was a row of sword and shield soldiers guarding it, and they blocked the communication trench.

The traffic trench is not wide and can only accommodate one person.

In the traffic trench, a one-on-one fight immediately began.

The two sides are fighting to the death, with no room to move or move. You have to strike with a knife, and I will strike with a shot. He's down. Enter the brothers behind him.

There is no other way.

After fighting for a while, I finally found that the five-eyed machine had the advantage.

A brother holding a five-eyed machine shouted, "You guys get out, I'll come." He came up with a five-eyed machine. When facing the enemy, whether he was facing directly or holding a shield, he shot first. Kill one directly.

There was no time to reload, so he just picked it up and smashed it over.

To sum it up, one brother with five eyes can kill at least two. The exchange ratio changed from one-to-one with sword and shield soldiers to two-to-one. Odds are earned.

The fierce battle lasted until sunset.

Both sides were exhausted, and the first trench was in the hands of the rogue pirates, but the second trench was firmly in the hands of the Ming army. Both sides could only call for a truce.

Lu Mou gnawed on the steamed bun: "Organize a death squad and launch a counterattack against the enemy. Drive out the bandits in the first trench."

Zhu Changxun immediately stepped forward to receive the order and organized a death squad outside.

At this time, the commander of the Third Division said with a smile: "Our Third Division has always been a reserve team. What kind of death squads are organized? We are all death squads. Let's go."

Following the order, the soldiers of the Third Division jumped out of the trench with a roar, rushed out with five-eyed machine guns, and launched a counterattack towards the first trench.

The bandits had very few firearms, but bows and arrows were extremely difficult to use because of the trenches. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the brothers of the third division rushed to the front of the first trench. Standing on the trench, facing the densely packed and dumbfounded bandits below, there was a volley of fire.

A gun with five bullets is equivalent to a small machine gun, at least equivalent to eight bullets in the US military. After a sweeping sweep, he jumped into the trench, swung the five-eyed machine and struck hard with a hammer, and the sword and shield soldiers in the traffic trenches also rushed out to kill the remaining bandits.

Then they harvested the heads and threw the headless corpses outside the trenches.

Finally, bursts of cheers from the soldiers broke out in the first trench. When Lu Mou saw it, he was overjoyed: "This is a good idea. Withdraw the soldiers and leave only a small number to monitor. Tomorrow, when the rogues come to attack, immediately abandon the first trench, and then defend the second trench until the enemy is exhausted." , we counterattacked and shot the enemy from a high position. Quack, Liu Fangliang, let me see how many subordinates you have, and let me see how you consume them with me."

This tactic indeed achieved great results. In fact, it was Lu Mou who bullied the bandits because their equipment was inferior, and Liu Fangliang had to endure it.

When the time came to the thirteenth day, Liu Fangliang was worried. His losses were too great. The 50,000-strong army had fought almost half of the battle for thirteen days, while looking at the opponent, he didn't even lose one-third.

On the Binzhou battlefield, Li Yan took his time and tried all the siege methods he knew, except for the time-consuming locking method, which was played by the Third Army. Some methods of seizing the city, some methods of digging tunnels and blowing them up, some methods of using poisonous gas along the wind, some methods of flooding the foundations, some explosive methods, some cannon group shooting methods, and some methods of killing with arrow towers.

That's just a new trick. How can the rogue bandits have any experience in defending a city? I went through the brick digging method today, and finally managed to withstand it. I thought hard at night and came up with a solution. The next day, I changed my mind.

Another new test question came out, which made Hong Zhiqiang confused. Wailing every night: "Li Yan, after all, we are all born bandits. Why should it be difficult for bandits to be bandits? How can you feel at ease if you play with me like this?"

The field teaching here was just when one was feeling proud of making friends and the other was enjoying learning, when the relief troops from He Zhen's tribe arrived in Lijin.

He Zhen is one of Li Chuang's twenty-eight generals and can be described as a veteran on the battlefield. Facing the 30,000 Ming army under Binzhou City, he knew that with the 5,000 soldiers in his hands, he was definitely no match against Li Yan. Again, everyone is a bandit, so no one knows who else’s background.

But General Quan had an order to rescue Binzhou, so he had to save it himself.

In the end, He Zhen showed his seniority and ordered General Lijin to allocate 2,500 to himself from the 3,000 rogue army under his control.

"Don't worry, General Hong and I have solved the siege of Binzhou anyway. If the enemy retreats, your Lijin will be safe. If I can't solve it, Binzhou is lost, and I fail, I will rely on your three thousand people to defend Lijin. You can’t keep it either. Do you think this is the truth?”

When the guard heard this, he said: "Yes, the general is more experienced than I am. In this case, let's just give everything to the general and I will guard Lijin alone."

He Zhen was stunned, "You, alone, are guarding Lijin. You are talking nonsense."

The guard patted his chest and said, "Didn't the general say that if Binzhou fails, our Lijin will be lost? If Binzhou is not lost, our Lijin will be safe and sound, so why don't we put all our efforts in? Besides, I'm not defending alone. Do you have ten soldiers? By then, there will be a lot of coolies at the Yellow River docks, and I have collected a lot of aid in the early stages. I will recruit troops now. Don’t worry, in these troubled times, a steamed bun can change your life, no problem."

After saying this, He Zhenzhen believed it and immediately led an army of eight thousand to Binzhou.

The guard watched He Zhen go, then turned around and ordered the soldiers around him: "Hurry home and pack up the money we pushed for, as well as the taxes and fees received by the ferry during this period, immediately."

"General wants to recruit troops?"

"This general is going to run away."

After returning home, he called his wife, concubines, and soldiers, dug out large and small boxes of gold and silver, and loaded them into three cars.

The leader of the personal soldiers winked at the general's concubine.

The concubine fell down in fear and said, "General He, why are you back?"

The guard was shocked and looked towards the door.

No one showed up. Just when he was about to scold the concubine for seeing the devil, he felt a chill on his neck. Then he saw the leader of the soldiers holding his concubine and scolding him ferociously: "You bandits killed my whole family and made me a thief. This is your retribution."

Then he lifted the smallest box in the car and said to his brothers: "You can divide the rest."

A brother advised: "Brother, take more and live a comfortable life."

The leader of the personal soldiers smiled boldly: "I have hands, feet, and strength. How can I go to a peaceful place where I can't live a practical and comfortable life?"

Then in the concubine's eyes of admiration and admiration, she walked away.
