Chapter 231 Heavy bets on the showdown
Under the city wall, the thieves were swarming up the ladder. Everyone was so excited that they were crazy by the reward pattern opened by Zhang Jian. Those who climbed the city first could enter the warehouse of the Sihai Warehouse first.
For those thieves, they came to the Sihai Goods Shop with a full warehouse of gold and silver. Whoever goes in first will definitely get the most, so even the thief leaders who were originally riding horses personally took the battle and led their confidants to attack the city wall.
Gubeizhai was a city built by the remnants of the White Lotus Sect for Altan Khan. It was built at the beginning according to the foundation of the county town of Guannei. The wall was wide and could accommodate hundreds of people. As the bandits who were constantly climbing up the wall, the bandits with red eyes and fearlessness were gradually suffering casualties. However, with the servants' teams over and over, even though there were more and more bandits attacking the city, the young and strong men did not collapse. Instead, they quickly adapted to the battlefield under the pressure of death.
Gao Jin did not take action, and the situation on the city wall seemed to be in danger, but the formation of the young and strong people remained intact, with servants on the team, and even if there were casualties and injuries, they did not panic. The training of these few months has made these young and strong people accustomed to obeying orders, and someone will make up for it if there were casualties and injuries.
Although the thief army kept climbing the city, there were actually not many bandits who could occupy a place when they really got up to the top of the city. Even if Gao Jin asked the four servants to attack actively, these bandits would have been driven off the city wall long ago.
It is rare that the thief army uses such oil-adding tactics to attack the city. Gao Jin naturally cannot waste this opportunity to train new recruits, especially the young and strong people from Hekou Fort. Although the people in the border areas are strong, it depends on the comparison. Compared with those fugitives in Gubei Village, the young and strong people in Hekou Fort lack some wildness and resilience, but the battlefield is the best forging furnace. After today's battle, they can be reborn.
"Second brother, I'm really spending time with the thieves..."
Chen Sheng watched more and more bandits rushing to the city wall and climbing up like crazy. He couldn't help but say on the side that the thieves had not prepared enough long ladders, otherwise if they were really put on the city wall like this, I would be afraid that they would not be able to withstand such a crazy attack.
"A Sheng, this is a rare opportunity."
Gao Jin looked at the young and strong men who could already calmly shoot out their guns not far away and rely on the queue to suppress the attack of the thieves, and said to Chen Sheng, "Did you see that? No matter how much you practice, you will not be able to fight quickly without real swords and guns."
...
"Quick, make up for the back row!"
Zhai Bao, who was red-eyed, shouted that six of his team had died, but they never collapsed. He remembered what Ma Ye often said, if you want to live long on the battlefield, don’t think about being a hero. The right way is to beat more people and fewer people.
"Teacher Zhai, you'd better go back and rest!"
Beside Zhai Bao, someone from the young and strong man in the same team shouted, "Since the attack on the thief army just now, their team has never taken a step back. The four people below have been rotated, six of the brothers have died and eight of them have been injured, and now there are only less than three people left."
"What are you resting? The thief army is coming up again. Everyone is cheering up. After the battle, we will all be servants for the high school!"
Zhai Bao yelled, encouraging the morale of his young and strong men. As a result, he sacrificed his life. He knew that his martial arts experience was not as good as Ni Da, Ma Chao and the other three teams. Ma Ye promoted him to be the chief team because he was cruel and hardworking. At present, these thieves were just stepping stones for him. Zhai Bao would become a general under Gao Ye in the future.
The young and strong man who made up again followed Zhai Bao to face the thief army that was rushing up again. Everyone had already faced the fight with the thief army. The bodies of the thief army in front of them were all left by them. At present, these fierce thief army with red eyes and screaming strangely could no longer scare them.
The spear was stabbed out and retracted. The thieves who swung their swords were brave enough to jump forward and break through the gun forest in front of them, but their final fate was to be assassinated by several spears, falling to the ground like a rag doll.
When the thief leader who climbed to the city climbed to the top of the city, he gasped. In the past, they had robbed the houses and encountered the Qingshen and the Qingshen who were in the village who used bamboo poles and guns to protect themselves, but they were all broken by their fierce impact. However, the cooperation of this group of Qingshen who were guarding the city was probably more skillful than those camp soldiers.
"Don't be afraid of rushing, just let me go!"
The thief leader looked around and crawled up around and shouted. When facing such a skilled killer team, he must not hesitate. Only by pressing up and making them lose sight of each other can they break the gun formation, otherwise they will keep going up to send people to their heads.
"Everyone is standing side by side! Don't you want that gold and silver anymore!"
When the thieves heard this roar, they all waved their swords forward, and they all reached this point. Could it be that they could still retreat? The companions who were also crawling up with red eyes. If they retreated, they would ask the people behind to break the city...
Looking at the thief army rushing towards him, Zhai Bao couldn't help but become nervous. The thief leader was so vicious that he knew their flaws. If they could not resist the thief army's desperate charge, they would be broken and fall into a melee.
"Zhai Bao, tighten the team."
The roar of the horse army sounded behind Zhai Bao, and Zhai Bao didn't need to say anything else. The subordinates around him were all close together. The team that had originally blocked the entire city wall instantly left a gap on both sides. Then Zhai Bao saw the officer sabre and shield hands that had never moved passed through them, and immediately gathered in front of them.
Zhai Bao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw these officials' swords and shields reaching their front. Everyone knew that under Gao Ye's command, the first class was the servants' team, the second class was the swords and shields of the Hekou Fort Officer's Army, and the third class was the young and strong.
Speaking of which, Zhai Bao and the others were very dissatisfied with the sword and shield hands that were originally Zhang Gui's subordinates. They felt that these people were not much better than them, but they just took advantage of their qualifications. That is, the high-ranking master was generous and still used them.
Seeing Zhai Bao and the others fighting for a long time, Old He was already itchy. Although he was a veteran who was good at running away, he was very brave when he first joined the army in his early years. However, later he became accustomed to defeating wars with his incompetent boss and escaping.
"Spout!"
Looking at the bandit army less than ten steps ahead, Old He smiled and shouted with a grim smile. In the past, when they were under Zhang Gui's hands, their swords and shield soldiers were just cannon fodders that raised shields to defend. When they arrived at Gao Ye, they had all the troops and armor. They were trained all day long, and they were considered real swords and shield teams, powerful soldiers who could break the formation.
The sword and shield team trained by Gao Jin asked Lao He and his others to train naturally according to the Qi family's training method. The sword and shield hands were all equipped with five spears. When they were in the battle, they first used spears to kill the enemy with spears, and then raised the sword and shield to come forward to cover the killing.
With Lao He's roar, the sword and shield hands threw out the spears they carried. Although these were all old goods that Gao Jin had found from the Shenmubao warehouse, they were all real guys. After this round of spears, five or six people rushed into the thief army that were stabbed in the opposite direction and fell on their backs. Three of them died on the spot. The remaining ones who were lucky could only lie on the ground and wait for death.
"Rise your shield and go forward."
Lao He did not ask his subordinates to use all the spears, but instead ordered to take the initiative to face the enemy. The sword and shield soldiers, who had been anxious, immediately raised their shields and rushed forward side by side to meet the thieves rushing towards them.
Looking at the shields in front of him, the thieves seemed to face the turtle shell that had nowhere to go, and could only swing their swords and chop at the shields desperately, trying to squeeze the swords and shields to disintegrate, but they all did useless efforts. The swords and shields were tied together with the shields, and they could not break the turtle shell at all.
Old He was experienced and experienced. In this narrow terrain, the sword and shield hand was the least afraid of group battles. He almost grabbed the thief army and couldn't sustain it. He shouted suddenly, "Open the shield and stab!"
The sword and shield hands, which were originally stacked with shields, moved the shields in an instant, revealing a gap that was enough for them to sway their swords to assassinate. More than ten swords were stabbed out and retracted. Several people in the thief army squeezed in front of the shields were immediately caught in the knife and lying all over the ground.
The thief leader who was supervising the battle behind saw this scene, his eyelids twitched. He was not unaware of it. The sword and shield team that emerged was more difficult to deal with than the previous killer teams. He was even more thrifty. After he succeeded, he immediately took the shield and told them not to even take advantage of the opportunity to break the enemy.
How can I fight this?
The thief leader was cold in his heart. The Gubei Village was just a flesh-and-blood mill. The guards on the city wall were useless to see that the corpses lying on the ground of the city wall in front were all their bodies, and there were probably no less than forty or fifty ones.
Sihai Goods Store, full of gold and silver! But you have to have your life to get it!
"Everyone will retreat first, let the people behind us come up, and let us guard the city."
The thief suddenly shouted, and immediately made his subordinates in front of him breathe a sigh of relief, turned around and retreated.
Seeing this, Old He did not let Dao and Shield come forward to chase after him. Gao Ye gave orders to let the thieves go up to the city wall, but he did not drive them down. He was a veteran soldier of many years. Seeing Zhai Bao and others fighting for only half an hour, they were already in good shape. They were stronger than 90% of the official troops here, and they knew that Gao Ye was using the thieves to train the courage of the young and strong men.
After this battle, the surviving young and strong soldiers were veterans. If you fight a few more battles, you will be the elite of a hundred battles!
...
At this time, it was already dark. Gao Jin saw that there was no intention of retreating from the city to quit the war, and he couldn't help but frown. He thought he knew the thief general enough and thought that the thief general was careful and cautious, but he didn't expect that when the battle started, the thief general was so crazy that he had already let the generals supervise the battle and forced all the thief bandits to the city wall.
It’s like the two of them were at the gambling table. The other party should be a cautious gambler and always had to test his trump card before betting, but now he doesn’t even look at the cards and just shows off!
Gao Jin couldn't guess what the thief general wanted to do for a while! But he vaguely felt that he shouldn't be fighting with the other party's rhythm. Almost all the young and strong men fought over, just to continue to kill and injure the bandits who were cannon fodder.
"Old Zheng, prepare to fire a fire!"
