Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 388

When Murong Yanda heard the bombardment of the city wall, his legs were about to go limp again in an instant. Shi Xiu glanced at him, and then he remembered that he was the prefect of Qingzhou, and he had to fight with his life together at this critical moment.

So he reluctantly plucked up the courage to run up the city wall with Shi Xiu, and saw Shi Xiu took out a cylinder from her arms, and ran to the watchtower to look around.

Under the city wall, it can be seen that at least thousands of people are organizing quickly.

Shi Xiu didn't say a word after watching it, and handed the cylinder to Murong Yanda. Murong Yanda tried to use Shi Xiu's way to bring the telescope close to his eyes, and was immediately impressed by the magical picture that peeped thousands of meters away through the telescope and still felt close to his eyes. Startled.

The next moment, he observed carefully and found out in horror that there were still some people organizing behind the bandits in Liangshan.

Shi Xiu explained: "The owners outside the city have also taken action."

Murong Yanda became happy again in an instant, his mood changes today were too intense, and his nerves were in a state of hyperactivity.

"Villager Sun still has 5000 troops outside the city, so he should be able to keep the city safe, right?"

"Listening to the sound of the cannon, it is estimated that the four gates of Qingzhou City are being attacked by Liangshan bandits."

Murong Yanda was afraid again: "How long will it take Master Sun to kill him?"

Shi Xiu was silent for a while, looked at Murong Yanda and said, "Please ask the prefect to organize a township army to help defend the city, Qingzhou City is still in danger."

"This...isn't Zhuang Zhuang and the others already here?"

"The owner of the village still has more than 1 horses outside the city, and they should be attacking the town of Liangshan now. The guards guarding Qingzhou City only have one regiment and one reinforced battalion, with a total of more than 600 people."

"This city is very important. If Liangshan breaks the city, then the protection army will turn to attack the city. The safety of the soldiers and civilians in this city depends on the assistance of the rural army in Qingzhou City to ensure."

Hearing what Shi Xiu said, Murong Yanda was dumbfounded. The best situation he could have imagined was that Hu Yanzhuo would hold the city and let the bandits in Liangshan have nothing to rob, so he went back by himself, or it would be best for the soldiers to go out and kill the bandits in Liangshan. Run away, or wait for reinforcements from other states and counties to arrive, but they never expected that Sun Xin and the others had already planned a plan to attack the Liangshan bandit Kouben Town.

I used to think that Sun Xin's guards didn't want to fight anymore, but only then did I realize that their ambitions were much bigger than I had imagined at the beginning.

The grand plan of confiscating Liangshan, which the imperial court officials and soldiers failed to achieve, actually wanted to be rounded up by the guards?

At this time, his Qingzhou City was caught in the middle.

Murong Yanda instantly understood that if Qingzhou City were to be destroyed.At that time, the Liangshan bandits will definitely flood into the city and occupy Qingzhou City as a backup.

Of course, if their main formation is attacked, the thieves who attacked Qingzhou City would also lose their backup support and collapse.

All of this depends on the effect of Sun Xin's battle ahead, but no one will come to help Qingzhou City until the winner is determined on the battlefield.

Murong Yanda was very skeptical of Sun Xin's plan, but seeing that the guards on the city were all soldiers of the Protection Army, and the sound of rumbling cannons was heard from other directions on the city wall, it must have been used by the third regiment of the Protection Army. Bronze cannons are attacking.

Murong Yanda swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he already knew that this battle of defending the city could only be led by the protection army, and the useless Shi Wanchong had already died long ago, and his Qingzhou Township Army was now in a state of no combat power. The combined rural army of my entire Qingzhou city is not enough to fight the Liangshan bandits who attacked the city for a quarter of an hour.

Murong Yanda felt uneasy, but when the situation came to an end, he knew that he had no other choice, so he could only nod his head, and silently said a word of blessings from the gods and Buddhas in his heart. The protection army delivered supplies.

Outside Qingzhou City, the five regiments of the Protectorate Army were descending from the controlled highlands and advancing continuously.

In Liangshan's camp, Song Jiang's face was unavoidably panicked.

He originally planned to take Qingzhou City through Hu Yanzhuo, but he didn't expect not only that there was no good news coming from the front, but also in the early hours of this morning, their Liangshan Army's main formation suddenly found that they had been blocked by several protection troops On the main road of traffic, the opponent is in a state of encirclement.

Zhu Wu, a military strategist of Shenji, came to Liangshan from Huazhou, but he didn't expect to encounter such a big battle for the first time with Song Gongming.

After clearly identifying the enemy's positions one by one, the situation of the protection army was already obvious. They actually wanted to use nearly 2 people to directly eat up the nearly [-] troops in Liangshan Township.

When they discovered this situation in the early morning, the Liangshan army and horses were not too panicked. The number of the encircling party was [-] less than that of the besieged party. A plan to seize the city.

But the situation of the war has completely changed by this time.

The enemy's artillery team and cavalry are very powerful. Even if I use the chained horses of the captives to attack, I can't move the opponent's main formation; the enemy's musketeers are like a moving fortress, and they are very professionally arranged all the way. In the position, the serial horses were blocked tightly, and the barbed wire fences seemed to entangle people to death.

The enemy's artillery unit is even more frightening. It can break up the charge of its own group in an instant, and a few shots can leave a blood tank in the dense team.

Compared with the opponent's cannon, Ling Zhen's trebuchet and the explosives he was accustomed to using were not at the same level in terms of accuracy or lethality.

What surprised everyone in Liangshan was the enemy cavalry charge they encountered for the first time.

The cavalry of the Protectorate Army were all standard light cavalry, only equipped with carbine halberds and short cavalry guns. It stands to reason that they should have no protection at all, and could not attack the main formation at all.

But the opponent's cavalry training is so strong, the proficiency in manipulating horses is the same as running on the ground, and the direction used by their cavalry is completely raiding and chasing, and the infantry always in Liangshan has not yet formed a formation Suddenly came in, using the cavalry guns to quickly break up Liangshan's formation, causing chaos, come up and slash a wave if there is a chance, and retreat instantly when encountering strong resistance.

Then, when Liangshan's infantry reorganized, they suddenly reappeared from a certain direction on the battlefield without anyone noticing.

The number of cavalry in Liangshan is far more than a cavalry regiment of the Protectorate Army, so I also tried to use the cavalry to chase them,
But the horses protecting the army were still very good, and the horses carried a relatively light load, so they ran away in an instant.

What's even more irritating is that after one's own cavalry chased away the opponent's cavalry, a group of light cavalry from the protection army suddenly appeared from a certain forest on the return journey, pointing their carbine at the cavalry who had just turned around on their side. shooting.

When the cavalry from Liangshan rushed up again, the opponent ran away and disappeared.

The riflemen cooperated with the advance of the cavalry, and quickly compressed the town of Liangshan to a very small area. Only then did the artillery of the Protectorate Army truly exert its power.

Dozens of bronze cannons calibrated their range and shot over the heads of the Musketeers and projected on Liangshan's position.

Song Jiang and the others were surprised to find that the plan of Qingzhou City, which they originally wanted to stand down, was not only impossible to realize, but also their own formation was really in danger of being shaken.
