Chapter 24 Victory in the first battle
Huang Lichi was stunned for a while, and finally sighed and left. Li Xiaosi took the bow and arrow handed back by Li Yun, and his eyes had changed, as if he was looking at his brother.
Rong Xiang sneered and looked at Huang Li and said, "Master Huang, have you seen it? These bandits are hopeless, and they still have to be solved by force in the end."
Huang Li sighed and said, "I'm just a pity for these two people. Their abilities are not worse than mine, they are just a matter of thought!"
Rong Xiang snorted, "Since they don't know how to be polite, let's see the majesty of General Manager Huang!"
Huang Li snorted and said, "Please watch the military supervisor! I won't let you down! Sword and Shield soldiers, raise the shield! Move forward!"
With his order, the sword and shield soldiers in front held up their shields and lined up in an orderly manner and slowly moved forward.
Li Yun sighed and said, "Huang Li is still capable. If all these three thousand soldiers are under his training and mastery, we will be in a little trouble. But Xing Bin, the old fox, will not let him control the army, and this military supervisor is a constraint.
He only has such a few old subordinates under his command. Since they dare to come, they will knock them down. I see, what else can Huang Li, a toothless tiger, do without soldiers?"
"Please give the order from the second village leader!" After hearing Li Yun's words, everyone was excited and came up to ask for the fight.
Li Yun sneered and said, "The officers and soldiers' wooden shields can only be guarded against bows and arrows. There are so many wooden and rocks rolling on our mountain. Follow my orders and smash them hard for me."
"Yes!" Everyone agreed, quietly watched the officers and soldiers below advance little by little, and soon arrived at the mountain road.
The wall of Gushan Mountain Village is built on the mountain, and is still ten feet away from the foot of the mountain. Anything thrown from above is thrown from high altitude, let alone huge rocks and rolling woods?
When Li Yun saw that the enemies were all going up the mountain road, a cold light flashed in his eyes and shouted: "Let it go!"
The minions had already made preparations, and they picked up the stones and rolled the woods and threw them down. The rolling stones rolled down the mountain road, and with a thunderous aura, they hit them fiercely.
"Hold on!" The officer leading the team shouted loudly, and the officers and soldiers looked pale and could only use all their strength to raise the wooden shield in their hands.
With a loud "Boom!", the shield broke suddenly, and the rolling wood and stones broke into the bloody alleys among the officers and soldiers.
Huang Li glanced at him and said to someone beside him: "The bandits have the advantage of being in a good position. We can't fight so hard. Huang Can, with the archers, went up, shot beside the mountain road, and suppressed the bandits in the city!"
"Yes!" Huang Can agreed loudly, and lined up at the foot of the mountain with his archers, then raised the bow and arrow and shot it with a squeak.
Li Yun was very familiar with the official army. When he saw them bent their bows and arrows to shoot, he shouted: "Squat down and avoid!"
The minions were already well trained. When they heard the order, they hurriedly hid behind the village wall. A dark shadow flew over and landed on the mountain road behind.
"Attack!" Li Yun shouted again, and the minions got up and threw stones down. The officers and soldiers who had just taken the opportunity to run a few steps were driven down again.
Huang Li snorted, "Beat the drum and launch an attack with all your strength! The law enforcement team is waiting at the foot of the mountain. Who dares to retreat? No mercy will be killed!"
"Yes!" The messenger agreed, and then the drums sounded loudly at the foot of the mountain. The officers and soldiers rushed over like a tide. The archers were also desperate to attack like archery on the top.
While dodging arrows, the minions threw stones and rolling woods to fight back, and soon there were casualties. The minions behind them built the dead bodies, and someone added them.
Li Yun looked at Li Xiaosi and said, "Xiaosi, shoot me and suppress the archers below."
"Yes!" Li Xiaosi agreed, bent his bow and arrow, and shot down with a whoosh. Huang Can, who was commanding the archers at the foot of the mountain, suddenly fell to the ground, with a feathered arrow inserted into his neck, and blood came out of his wounds and mouth.
"Okay!" The minions shouted excitedly when they saw this, and the archers were even more inspired. They bent their bows and arrows one by one, and shot them down.
Huang Li was unmoved at all, waved his hand and said, "Beat the drum and continue attacking! Archers shoot! Who dares to take a step back? Military law will deal with it!"
"Kill!" The officers and soldiers rushed up again and started a fierce battle with the minions on the mountain.
Ouyang Wan's heart was pounding in the copycat. She was very conflicted now. I don't know whether she was looking forward to the victory of the officers and soldiers, or whether she could win in the copycat.
The most unhappy thing is Shi Ke. Now the copycat has completely entered a wartime state. They can't leave their own yard again, and their father doesn't know where they went. They haven't returned home for several days, and they don't even have to listen to the story.
The outside was beating the drums, which aroused Shi Ke's interest and he stretched his neck and looked out constantly; however, the door of the home was closed and she couldn't even go out without her mother's guidance.
Shi Ke wanted to pester her mother to go out for fun, but it was rare that she was scolded by her mother, and then she was carried into the house and started to learn to recognize simple words with paper and pen.
The battle ran from morning to dusk. Later, Huang Li went directly to the battlefield and rushed to the bottom of the village wall with his men. The officers and soldiers were about to set up cloud ladders to attack the city. Several small holes in the middle of the village wall suddenly stretched out several fork poles and pushed the cloud ladders to the city.
Huang Li, holding the shield, was on the ladder and fell on the hard mountain road with a rumbling sound. The officers and soldiers rushed up and snatched him back.
"Retract the troops!" Rong Xiang saw that the war had been fighting for a day, hundreds of brothers died in vain, and no progress was made. Now even Huang Li was injured, so he could only call the gold to withdraw his troops.
The officers and soldiers retreated like a tide, and the village was filled with joy.
Luo Zhong had already obtained the information and arranged to kill cattle and sheep to celebrate everyone, and also arranged for someone to send supper and news to Ouyang Wan.
"I understand." Ouyang Wan just agreed lightly, and a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. After a relaxed heart, people were different. She smiled and hugged her daughter who had been pouting for a whole day and said, "Xiao Ke, come and have dinner. After dinner, my mother will tell you a story."
"It's not nice to tell stories from my mother, I want dad." Shi Ke was very disrespectful.
Ouyang Wan smiled and said, "Dad went out to do business and it will take two days to come back. In this way, how about the story my mom told you about my father's story?"
Shi Ke's eyes lit up and said, "Have you learned it? I want to listen to the cat."
"I know, I know, my mother has all recorded it." Ouyang Wan said with a smile. Shi Ke then jumped up and ran to dinner with her mother. The mother and daughter were brisk in their steps, and it was obvious that they were in a good mood. The bandits won, making them so happy. Ouyang Wan's balance was slowly tilting.
Huang Li's injuries were not serious, but after fighting for a day, he would withdraw his troops. The defeat in the battle always made people feel bad. When they came, they made a guarantee from the governor of the prefect, saying that the army could easily take down Gushan once it arrived. However, after today's battle, everyone found that things seemed not that simple!
With the help of Li Yun and Chen Tai, these bandits of Gushan have undergone qualitative changes. They have a advantage in territoriality, and it is really not easy to think about them.
Rong Xiang really wanted to watch Huang Li's jokes. So what if this failure happened? Li Yun and Chen Tai actually went to Gushan. What a good reason! Maybe he could follow further and replace Huang Li and control this army?
"General Manager Huang, today the war is unfavorable, we have lost our troops and generals, and even Huang Can from the Archery Battalion died for his country. Do you have any good solutions?"
Huang Li smiled and said, "Victory is a common thing for military strategists. The bandits are undoubtedly relying on the geographical advantage. I have two ways to try it."
Everyone was interested in it when they heard it, "What good advice does the supervisor have? Even if they say it clearly."
Huang Li smiled and said, "We can order people to log wood and build two tall arrow towers at the foot of the mountain. The height of this arrow tower must exceed the opponent's wall, and then arrange archers to suppress the enemy on it. In this way, we share the advantage of the geographical advantage with the enemy, and we can definitely take one step to the bottom.
Lingwai, ours used to be too underestimated by these bandits and did not bring any siege equipment. Unexpectedly, they had deceived Li Yun and Chen Tai, causing us such a big trouble. We have to learn from our lessons and build siege equipment to see how these bandits can deal with it!"
Everyone applauded after hearing this, and even Rongxiang had no way to refute it. It seemed that Huang Li still had some skills, so I'll let him take it first this time.
Huang Li was also a little proud and smiled slightly, "In addition, we also have to send scouts to search the mountain to see if there are any small paths to pass. At the same time, we go to the surrounding villages and find some hunters to ask. If we find a trail up the mountain, we secretly arrange people to climb up and attack them from front to back, and we will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"It's amazing! This plan is very good! Let's go and arrange it right away!" Everyone applauded and said, the depression of defeating the battle today disappeared suddenly, and they began to talk about what to do if they broke the copycat?
The next day, the officers and soldiers did not come to attack, but began to log wood outside. Li Yun smiled and said to Chen Tai: "Did you see it? Huang Li is going to build an arrow tower. Should we take out which of our treasures?"
Chen Tai smiled slightly and said, "I really didn't expect that the Great Village Master would have such a wonderful idea. He is obviously a mountain king, but he would still transform a catapult cart?"
Li Yun sighed and said, "It's not just that, before the battle, when did we think of deducing it? The leader of the village took everything into consideration; and told us through deduction.
Chapter completed!
