It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

The core headquarters and the first branch of the Red Fist Society, relying on their strong military strength,

As soon as the battle started, they sent out 3,000 of their most elite vanguards to attack the southern city's defense line.

Looking from the city, there were heads everywhere.

Three thousand pioneer believers, divided into more than a dozen groups, followed the ladders across the moat and rushed to the city.

City defense mainly includes gate towers, city walls, and the four corners of the city walls.

Of course, some important cities have a barbican behind the city gate tower, which is very difficult to attack.

Qilabang is either a county town or an ordinary small county town.

As we all know, the city gate tower has a large space and can store the most troops and supplies.
Therefore, it is also the most difficult to fight.
Of course, if you can capture the city gate in one fell swoop, it would be the most efficient way to capture the city.

The corner of the city is located at the angle between two city walls, and its space is second only to the city gate tower.

The weakest part is the middle section of the city wall, with very little space for maneuver and very few defensive troops.

Therefore, the Red Fist will go all out.

He ordered his followers to attack the walls on both sides of the South Gate at the same time, making it difficult for the defending troops to take care of both sides.
Every siege in history is like a grinding mill.
Either the attacking troops will suffer heavy casualties and retreat, or the defending forces will be insufficient and lose the city. In either case, the fight will end to the death.

There were more than 300 city defense soldiers guarding the south gate of Bang City, plus 500 young and strong residents in the city.
A large number of commonly used defensive equipment are prepared, such as:
In addition to muskets, there are swords, spears, bows, arrows and shields.
A lot of old-fashioned rolling logs, stones, boiling water, fuel oil, nail boards, and gunpowder bags were also prepared, and they were piled up on the walls and below.

When the Red Fist launched two attacks on the city, the captain of the city defense army snorted coldly.
"You ignorant Boxers, you dare to come here and seek death, then let them do it!
Add one hundred strong men to the second squadron, defend the left wing, and hit hard! "

"Yes! I humbly accept my order!"

The second squadron leader agreed and immediately led his men to the left wing to deploy defensive forces.
The captain gave the order again:
"Squadron Three, take one hundred strong men to defend the right wing. We must win, not lose!"

"I obey your command! As long as you are in the city,

Brothers, let's go! Kill these bastards!"

The captain is in charge of a squadron and three hundred young and strong men, and he closely monitors the developments in the war.

When the Red Fist followers entered the 80th step,
Gunshots and large clouds of smoke began to be heard on the left and right wings of the South Gate.

At this distance, foreign rifles are not very accurate.
However, the number of Red Fist followers was too dense.
A round of volleys with more than 60 bullets can still kill or injure more than a dozen people.
Because the city defense army learned from the foreign rifle team, they strictly practiced the three-stage shooting tactics, and once they opened fire, they would do it in an endless cycle.

"Boom boom boom!"

The Red Fist group of believers entered 70 steps and the second round of volleys of gunfire rang out.
Then came the third round.

At this time, the first round of gunners appeared again on the battlements of the city wall.

The Red Fist followers under the city were only fifty steps away, making it easier to aim.

"Raise your gun, aim, and fire!"

"Boom boom boom!"

This time, nearly 20 believers from both sides of the siege fell.

"...Far!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"...Far!"

"Boom boom boom!"

At the beginning of the third round, the Red Fist followers carrying the ladders had already rushed across the moat.
At this time, believers gathered in large numbers, and there was no need to aim.
With one shot, it is very likely that two people will be hit...

Of course, the believers under the city,

They also used bows and crossbows, as well as a small number of bird guns, foreign rifles, and earth cannons.

The two sides fought back and forth, with the sound of gunfire and cannonballs ringing in the air.

At this time, the second and third squadron leaders,

Seeing the other party crowded together, they all gave orders to attack with boiling water.
There were three large pots of boiling water on each side, pouring water from the top of the city.
Wow!
The defenders laughed as they poured the water:

"Haha, Debbie Boxer, I'm kind-hearted, I'll treat you to a hot bath!"

Think about it, boiling water at 100 degrees.
It poured directly onto the crowd, and immediately a heart-wrenching scream rang out.

The skin on the heads and faces of hundreds of believers was burned and melted.
When I touched it, all of it fell off, revealing red strands of muscle, which was shocking.

These people cried for their parents and tried desperately to escape.

However, more people swarmed over from behind, not caring about their companions' lives.
The left and right guardians claimed that whoever won the title of "First Warrior" would not only be able to become an official, but also receive a generous reward.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.

Therefore, these three thousand believers all came here for promotion and wealth.

You have to pretend to be cool even if you have to kneel down. There is no way back, even if you turn into a pile of rotten meat.

After the water is poured, continue to boil.
Seeing that the believers were still not afraid of life and death, they launched a human wave attack mode.

The captain of the second and third squadrons gave the order without hesitation to spray fuel.

A large barrel of kerosene and a large barrel of diesel were poured down the fortification.
"Tons, tons, tons~~"

At this time, the believers below the city suddenly smelled a pungent odor.

Then he sniffed, touched his hair and body,
Huh?
What is this?

It smells weird and feels like oil and water... Can it be used to cook food?

That’s not right. Why did the defenders pour oil down there?
Before they could understand what was happening, a few burning bundles of grass were thrown down from the city walls.
As sparks and flames come into contact with fuel molecules in the air,

"Boom!"
Under the walls on the left and right wings of the south gate of Bang City, two spectacular fire dragons suddenly appeared!
The fire dragon is still moving. Many ignorant believers don't know what danger is.
Of course, even if they knew, they couldn't escape.

Because the outside is blocked,
In the blink of an eye, one or two hundred people were engulfed in flames, and then the flames spread to three or four hundred people.
They jumped and danced in the flames, screaming and wailing, like a tragic symphony!
The spirit of sacrifice of the fearless will live forever!
Finally, the vanguard of the siege troops,

Under the combined stranglehold of foreign guns and various defensive means,
They suffered nearly a thousand casualties, and fled back in disgrace and panic.

The city defense troops and the young and strong men breathed a sigh of relief, cheered and jumped, and beat drums and gongs to see the Boxers off.

The left and right guardians had dark faces and beheaded the two hall masters who led the team in public.

Re-appoint two hall masters to lead the attack.
"Continue to attack the city. Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

So, in less than a quarter of an hour, the remaining two thousand pioneers rushed over again.

The city guards had gained experience now, so they waited until the believers were sixty steps away before they started shooting.
"...Far!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"..."

"..."

Under the seven or eight ladders, a large number of believers gathered again.

So, the hot water sauna and the oil fire dragon were repeated.

The Red Fist followers howled in terror, and some wanted to escape because of fear.

But war is so cruel.

The hall master led his personal guards to supervise the battle and killed all the fleeing believers, shocking the entire army.
Poor believers, going forward is death, going backward is also death, there is absolutely no way out.
I could only grit my teeth and shout, "Lotus Mother, protect me with your divine power!"

Maybe the Lotus Mother was too busy or fell asleep. Anyway, no one showed up.

In this way, two thousand believers were killed under the city wall.

There were seven or eight piles of corpses, and there were also many corpses in the moat...

There are still many wounded, groaning and screaming in vain,
I'm afraid there is no such horrific scene in hell.

The three thousand vanguards were used up, and the two hall masters retreated.
This time, the left and right guardians patted their shoulders instead.
"Well, good job! Just do it!
Only then can the Red Fist Club show its iron will to fight! Go down and have a rest! "

The two hall masters retreated silently.
The left and right guardians said complacently:
"Come on! Send another 3,000 men up! We won't give up until we take down the South Gate today!"

At this time, someone reminded:

"Master Protector, it seems that we don't have many reserve troops..."

"Well, that's it! Easy! Let the East and West Gates each send 1,500 people!" So, the Red Fist Altars of the East and West Gates,

I had no choice but to follow the order and send 3,000 troops to support the South Gate...

After lunch, fighting broke out again at the South Gate.
Knowing that there was a kill order and a supervisory team, this time, the 3,000 siege troops could only charge forward.

The city defense troops still used the old routine, firing volleys, pouring water, and burning oil.
This wave killed and injured nearly a thousand Boxers.
However, the two thousand believers, with no way out, continued to attack, stepping on the mountain of corpses.

The defense on both sides couldn't keep up with the pace, and the front line gradually wavered.

At the critical moment, the captain decisively sent out soldiers and young men to reinforce, and threw a large number of gunpowder bags.
"Boom boom boom!"

More than a dozen explosion shock waves,

The imminent attacking believers were wiped out, killing and wounding at least four to five hundred people.
The arrival of new forces has stabilized the defense on both wings.
The two supervising hall masters kept urging the believers to attack.

Under the South City, corpses and blood were everywhere, and the moat was red...

Of course, while annihilating more than 5,000 believers,

More than a hundred city defense officers and soldiers and more than three hundred young and strong men were also killed or injured in the battle.

They are well-deserved heroes who defended the residents of Bangcheng from the Boxers!

Finally, a small Red Fist leader, with the last three or four hundred people, begged the hall master to show mercy.
"Master! My brothers and sisters died so tragically...

We really can’t fight anymore... Let’s retreat and rest for a while...”

The hall master remained unmoved, pointed at the city wall with a sullen face and said:

"Go! Take the city wall, or I'll chop off your head!"

The little leader suddenly became angry and jumped up:
"Alpaca! Go and fight if you can!
Aren’t you awesome and invincible? If you can do it, come on!"

The hall master's face flushed, he drew out his long sword and cursed:
"You dare to disobey? I'll chop you up..."

"Draft? It's death anyway.

I'm going to kill you guys in the supervision team first!

Family members, grab your weapons and kill this inhuman dog!"

Thus, a rare mutiny on the battlefield began...

After a bloody fight, both sides were injured and fell on the battlefield...

Alas, when will the cycle of revenge end?
The morale of the city defense troops was greatly boosted, and they all tried to persuade the remaining believers to surrender.
"Hey, brother, don't work for them.

Look, killing your own people is just bullshit!"

"Your leaders,
They are all big liars who eat people without leaving any bones.

Look at these dead people, how can they have any 'magical power to protect them'?
It’s all fake, you’ve been fooled!”

Soldier God’s Skill: Attack the Heart!

This thing is more powerful than swords and guns.

The remaining five or six hundred believers were like deflated balls, unable to even stand up.

At this time, the captain came up with a plan, and he shouted to these hundreds of abandoned soldiers:

"Everyone, everyone is born by their parents, and staying alive is the most important thing!
As long as you stop attacking us, I promise to forgive you for what happened when the war is over!"

Hundreds of believers who have lost their spirits and energy know very well that

Even if they could escape back, they would be beheaded by the left and right guardians.
In this case, they had no choice but to agree to the captain's request and move collectively to the outside of the South Gate Suspension Bridge, where they would receive rice and food from the city.

At this time, someone quietly asked the captain why he let them go?
"Haha, they are blocking the way ahead.

The rest of the Boxers will be suspicious and their morale will surely be low... We are only paying a few hundred kilograms of rice!"

The subordinates suddenly realized what was going on and gave him a thumbs up: "Captain, great! Really smart!"

The captain laughed heartily, his confidence growing.

Seeing the "betrayal of believers" at the South Gate,
The Dharma protectors on both sides did not take it seriously and were still full of confidence.
"It's going to be dark soon, let's attack at night!

The Lotus Mother will surely bless us, and we will definitely break into the city this time!"

Many believers witnessed it for the first time.
Such a tragic siege battle completely shattered my worldview.
However, facing the leader's orders, they did not dare to openly resist.

I can only pray silently in my heart that I will not be picked to attack the city...

In fact, the captain of the city defense battalion guarding the South Gate was also in a difficult situation due to a shortage of manpower.

As the saying goes, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred of your own.

Although the current casualty ratio is much better, he does not have many men.

It would be terrible if the Boxers launched a night attack!

He had to recruit young men from the city again.

Regardless of whether one was rich or poor, one man was drafted from every two men in each household, and more than 200 men were recruited.
When Zoroastrianism learned of the battle during the day, it immediately sent two hundred young men to support Nancheng.
The Zhu family also selected a hundred young men to help the captain.
After all, once the city is breached by the Boxers, everyone will suffer!
With the addition of 300 new soldiers, the city defense captain felt much better.

More than a hundred city defense soldiers were killed or wounded during the day.
So he picked out two hundred men,
Let the old soldiers of the city defense teach them how to load ammunition and fire a musket.
Sharpen your spear before the battle, even if it is not sharp, it will shine.
Even if there are two hundred ducks, they are forced to be put on the shelves!

The captain looked at the Boxers' temporary camp in the sunset.
Cook meat soup rice specially,

Reward the soldiers and the young and strong, and cheer them up from the top of the city:

"Brothers, fellow countrymen,

We killed tens of thousands of them.

As long as we can survive tonight, the morale of the Boxers will be ruined! Come on! "

As soon as it got dark, the Red Fist Society launched a night attack.

This time, the left and right guardians finally wised up.
"Old Lotus Mother, hurry up and give the order! Brothers and sisters! Attack the city from all sides!"

Crowds of people, like ants, swarmed towards the city walls.

The South Gate was naturally attacking the city with all its heart;

But the other Red Fist believers outside the city gate are not stupid...

The East and West Gates were half-real and half-fake, with only a few hundred people sent out to fool around.

Beimen Wang Laowu simply informed Lu Yuan and his disciples in advance.

Only a few hundred people were sent to the north gate, beating drums and gongs and shouting, but it was all just thunder without rain.

In this way, the strategy of encircling the enemy from all sides becomes a joke.
The siege troops at the South Gate also had an extra layer of concerns because of the "traitors" outside the South Gate.
After receiving reinforcements from the new troops, the captain
He kept walking on the city wall, leading the rescue team wherever there was danger.

At this moment, the city's south gate was as strong as a rock.
The waves of attacks from the Red Fist followers rushed up again and again, but when they could no longer resist, they retreated.

Under the dark night,
The city defense army repelled countless attacks by the ignorant Boxers.
Finally, in a precarious situation, the captain found a ray of hope.
He immediately ran to the city gate tower and said to the more than 500 Red Fist traitors:
"Brothers, come to the left and give us a hand,
I will give you the best wine and meat, and also give you medicine for your wounds!

As long as I don't die, I'll give everyone ten dollars, do you want to do it?"

These people actually have no way out.
The little leader gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, do you keep your word?"

"If I lie, God will punish me with five thunderbolts! My whole family will be wiped out!"

The little leader didn't waste any words and shouted:
"Anyway, from now on, brothers will live for themselves...

If you want to make money, come with me and do something stupid. Let's go!"

Two or three hundred people were moved by his words, picked up their swords and guns and moved to the left...

A moment later, the attacking party on the left wing of the South Gate was stabbed in the back, and the formation was instantly in chaos...

The captain took the opportunity to drop more than a hundred death squads, surrounding them from front and back.
The Red Fist followers were immediately defeated and fled in all directions, with countless of them falling into the moat...

After the left wing collapsed, the captain immediately dispatched troops to reinforce the right wing and completely stabilized the defense line.

Finally, most of the Red Fist Night Raid troops were killed or wounded, and they were defeated... (End of this chapter)
