heavy weapon is king

Chapter 13 In Deep Encirclement (Please recommend a ticket)
At this time, outside the main gate of Gaojiazhuang, two hundred officers and soldiers in full armor in green clothes, and nearly three hundred villain thugs dressed as servants and servants, all armed with weapons such as knives, guns and sticks, rushed over aggressively.

When they were tens of meters away from the main entrance, suddenly, the high school lieutenant, who was leading the horse, waved his hand violently, and all of the nearly five hundred officers, soldiers and servants stopped rushing forward.

Nie Zheng and the others stood on top of the watchtower. With the help of the faint light from the distant lantern, they could clearly see that the high school lieutenant in purple general robe was forming troops and deploying troops.

Visually measuring the distance, Gao Gaowei's troops are at least 60 meters away from Gaojiazhuang.

Obviously, Gao Gaowei, as the city defense officer of Guangji County, has a very strong sense of prevention.

Regarding the defensive measures in Gaojiazhuang, Gao Gaowei knows better than anyone else, because when his eldest brother Gao Batian built the manor, he personally chose the site for the construction of those arrow towers and watchtowers in the village.

Twelve arrow towers and six watchtowers were built in the front and backyard of Gaojiazhuang, plus the four corners in the southeast and northwest. Such condescending fortifications, together with the archers in each tower, are like ordinary people and horses. It is difficult to attack in a short time.

This time he came back to Duozhuang in a fit of rage. Although the elder brother Gao Batian was so angry that five Buddhas were born and one Buddha ascended to heaven due to the anger of those blind thieves, Gao Gaowei was not dazzled by the anger.

Since the opponent dared to rob the village, and after the robbery was over, he was so bold as to turn against the hostess. Instead of fleeing immediately with his belongings, he took advantage of Gaojiazhuang's solid fortifications to confront his own city defense army directly.

This group of bandits dared to be so bold and reckless, it was really surprising!

Although he didn't understand what other intentions these bandits had, Gao Gao still vaguely felt that something was wrong with these bandits. Although his own troops had the upper hand, he still had to be cautious.

Keeping all the troops within [-] steps away from Gaojiazhuang was calculated by Gao Gaowei after some precise calculations.

As the captain of the city defense school in the county, he still knows a little more about the way between offense and defense than ordinary people.

The distance of forty steps is just the distance where the opponent's bows and arrows are the least lethal. As long as one's own camp disperses the troops and protects them with shields, the bows and arrows of the bandits will not be able to pose a threat to their troops.At the same time, at this distance, the opponent's troops are also within the range of their own archers.

In terms of the power of bows and arrows, their Qingxuan bow, which is unique to the Song Dynasty army, is three points stronger than the soil bows of the bandits on the opposite side, both in range and strength.

Lieutenant Gao Gao felt that as long as his formation was well deployed, it shouldn't take long to break through the impromptu defenses put together by the bandits.

Thinking of this, Gao Gaowei ordered loudly: "Shield soldiers press forward, archers prepare..."

Seeing that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were quickly forming formations, Nie Zheng's face sank, and he immediately ordered Yang Feihu and others: "The officers and soldiers on the opposite side are already forming formations, and they may attack us at any time. Everyone is alert to me and ready to fight back at any time."

"Obey, village master!"

After hearing the order, Yang Feihu hurriedly ordered someone to deliver the order.

At this time, under Nie Zheng's order, the three brothers of the Chen family left the watchtower respectively, found several hiding places that were convenient for shooting, and ambushed within the courtyard walls on both sides of the front door.

After making a series of arrangements for the challenge, Nie Zheng raised his eyes and looked forward again.

I saw tens of meters in front of the gate, under the loud orders of the high school lieutenant, two hundred officers and soldiers quickly dispersed and divided into three teams.

First of all, there were about 60 officers and soldiers in the first team. Each of them picked up a solid wooden shield about three inches thick and three feet high, and rushed to the front of the team very quickly. Covered and protected.

Immediately afterwards, another sixty officers and soldiers with bows and arrows bent their bows and set up arrows, hiding behind the shield soldiers, ready to launch at any time.

In the end, the remaining [-] officers and soldiers, all of them holding long spears and short knives, were preparing to press forward step by step under the cover of shield soldiers and archers, advancing layer by layer.

After deploying all the soldiers and horses, suddenly, the two hundred officers and soldiers stopped moving, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

At this moment, the high school lieutenant wearing a purple general robe, standing behind the soldiers and horses, raised his head towards Gaojiazhuang tens of meters away, and shouted loudly: "You gang of thieves, where did you come from? In broad daylight How dare you kill people and rob the village, so rampant, so lawless, it is an unforgivable crime! Now, the captain of the school will give you a cup of tea, put down your weapons and surrender, as long as you give up resistance, the captain of the school will definitely report to the superior , let me deal with you lightly!"

Hearing this remark, all the heroes of the black wind scoffed and ignored it.

Nie Zheng knew very well in his heart that what Lieutenant Gao Gao said was obviously a way to intimidate and lure the enemy. If they really gave up their weapons and surrendered, these officers and soldiers would not be punished lightly, maybe they would be killed on the spot.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng sneered coldly and said: "Guards and soldiers on the opposite side, listen carefully to me. I am a hero in Heifengzhai. This time I came to rob the village just for revenge! Last time Gao Batian The old thief has harmed our brothers and robbed us of our food resources, the purpose of the fathers coming this time is to teach that old thief a lesson, to let him know that our Black Wind Village is not easy to provoke."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Gao Gao frowned, and now he was planning to say some words to lure the enemy, to see if he could trick the other party into surrendering without a fight. After all, if there was a real fight, both sides would suffer heavy losses. For him, it is indeed not a glorious achievement.

Just when Lieutenant Gao Gao was about to speak again to lure the enemy, suddenly, a burst of angry roar sounded from behind.

"What are you talking about with those thieves who killed thousands of knives! Third brother, hurry up and command your troops to attack, and kill those bastards from Heifengzhai..."

After the roaring and cursing, Nie Zheng and others standing on the top of the watchtower clearly saw that Gao Batian, under the guard of a dozen purple-clothed warriors, came angrily behind the high school lieutenant.

Seeing Gao Batian finally appear, Nie Zheng's face turned cold on the spot, and his eyes locked on him with cold eyes.

I saw that Gao Batian was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe and a jade hat with a button on his head. He was tall and bloated, with a fat face, distorted and fierce, especially his cold and treacherous triangular eyes, which flickered with a vicious cold light from time to time.

Looking at Nie Zheng standing on top of the watchtower, Gao Batian gritted his teeth and said: "You gang of thieves, dare to act wildly on my Gao Batian's head, you are really impatient! Don't bother to inquire about it. Hundreds of miles away, that gang of thieves did not take a detour when they saw Gaojiazhuang. Last time when the blustery thieves from Niutou Village came to set foot on the spot, I beheaded all of them to show the public. You Heifeng Village are nothing. Tonight, if I don’t kill you all, if I let you run away, my name Gao Batian will be written upside down!”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng looked coldly at Gao Batian, who was tens of meters away, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Old thief Gao, why are you talking so much nonsense? If you have the guts, let the horse come here!"

Seeing that Nie Zheng was so rampant, Gao Batian was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven on the spot. He couldn't bear it and shouted at Gao Gaowei: "Third brother, what are you doing in a daze? Those gangsters are already rampant!" At this point, if they don’t smash their corpses into thousands of pieces tonight, who would dare to take our Gao family seriously in the future, kill! Kill! Kill me!”

"yes, Sir!"

Gao Gaowei turned around slowly, looked at Nie Zheng on the distant watchtower with a livid face, drew out his long sword suddenly, and shouted: "Attack!"

"Yes, Captain Captain!"

With an order, two hundred officers and soldiers who had already set up their formations immediately stepped out in neat steps, screaming and killing towards Gaojiazhuang tens of meters away.

Looking at the two hundred officers and soldiers, they approached the main entrance with a murderous look.

Immediately, Nie Zheng's face darkened, and he ordered loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"

After receiving the order from the village lord, dozens of archers guarding all the arrow towers raised their bows one after another and shot at the officers and soldiers at the front.

shhhhhh! ! !
For a moment, the sound of the bow swayed, and arrows flew like locusts, flying all over the sky.

A series of arrows pierced the night sky like meteors, made a strong sound of breaking the wind, and shot fiercely into the camp of officers and soldiers.

I could only hear the dull "ding dong" collision sound, and a large number of arrows were all blocked by the shields of the officers and soldiers. Only a few arrows passed through the gaps between the shield soldiers and shot at the enemy hiding in the ground. The officers and soldiers behind.

This round of archery did not pose an effective threat to the officers and soldiers' camp at all. Instead, the officers and soldiers used the shield soldiers in the front to cover and steadily advanced forward more than ten meters.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 50 meters.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was a little anxious, but he still took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his nervous emotions.

Nie Zheng knew very well that the more critical the situation was, the more he could not panic as the head of the people, otherwise, his troops would easily lose their fighting spirit and lose their morale.

The three brothers of the Chen family still followed Nie Zheng's order and lay in ambush under the walls on both sides of the gate. They were all waiting for the village master's order.

As long as the village master sends out a signal, the three of them will pull the trigger without hesitation and shoot the enemy who is rushing to the front.

At this time, the sound of Gong Xuan reappeared!

The bandit minions guarding the courtyard walls and watchtowers have already started the second round of archery.

Suddenly, at this very moment, the high school lieutenant at the rear of the team suddenly and loudly ordered: "Shoot the arrow! Speed ​​up!"

Immediately, the sixty archers hiding behind the shield soldiers all fired their first shots at the arrow towers inside the courtyard wall.

shhhhhh! ! !
Among the arrows flying all over the sky, two hundred officers and soldiers formed an offensive formation. Under the cover of the archers' shooting, they instantly accelerated their moving pace and approached the main gate extremely quickly.

In just a few short breaths, the officers and soldiers narrowed the distance by more than ten meters.

Today, the distance between the two sides is less than 35 meters.
