The bright red sun, like a beautiful woman's nails, jumps out from the distant horizon, making the originally monotonous and pale earth begin to show different colors.

Starting from Jinjiazhuang Fort, the earth extends infinitely from west to east, from light yellow to deep yellow, then turns into dark yellow, brown yellow, and finally becomes a blurry black yellow color that penetrates into the sky.

However, every army guarding the city was not in the mood to pay attention to the changes in the scenery in front of them. Their eyes were closely attracted by the dozens of Tartar cavalry who were urging horses and whistle around the fort.

These light cavalry with only cotton armor or leather armor ride the strong Liaodong horse, making strange screams at their mouths, starting from the east to the south, from south to west, then from west to north, and finally returning to the east, drew a large circle, and searched all the entire Jinjiazhuang Fort.

The Tartars immediately reported that Jiala's true love Bali. Aibali sneered and said to himself that this wise general was indeed so vicious, but unfortunately he was useless to me.

When Li Xiao saw these Tartar cavalry running around and provoking, he suddenly felt a very bad premonition.

That is, all kinds of preparations such as digging trenches and deep pits outside the city may become useless.

His worries soon became a fact.

In many time travel novels, the enemy is basically like a tamed beast. The protagonist takes advantage of any trap, and he will only follow the protagonist's routine. With tens of thousands of troops, the protagonist's wind and stray bullets are destroyed in the ashes, becoming an inconspicuous stepping stone on the protagonist's road to dominate the world.

The enemies Li Xiao is facing now are obviously much smarter and crueler than those in the novel.

Li Xiao saw that about nearly 1,000 old and weak people were separated from the captured people, and then ordered to carry the long siege ladder. In the sound of the Swans, which were stacked with the sound of the Later Jin formation, they attacked from the south and north sides of the south and north sides toward the south and north sides of the Jinjiazhuang Fort.

The lives of the old and weak people were used to fill the ravines and moats dug by Li Xiao, and the blood and corpses of these worthless Han Nikan, to open a bloody road for the subsequent attacking troops. In the eyes of Jiala'er Zhenai Bali, this is really the most correct choice.

After the road ahead is opened, then attack the weakest part of Jinjiazhuang Fort. The siege method is the best way to reduce the loss of the siege.

This true Aibali, who looks like a rough and powerful martial artist, is actually a person with a very meticulous mind.

Aibali was very accurate. The two fort walls in the north and south are the weakest points in the defense design of the entire Jinjiazhuang Fort.

Because the entire Jinjiazhuang Fort has a corner tower on each corner from east, west, south and north, and there is another fort tower on the west and east.

Therefore, from the perspective of the difficulty of the attack, the east is the fort gate and the fort building, which is the most effective defense, and the west is the second most difficult area to attack because of the fort building and a long distance. However, the south and north walls of the corner tower on both sides are relatively the easiest to be compromised.

The Li Xiao's army on the top of the city wall clearly saw that there were ten siege ladders slowly heading towards the fort wall in the north and south.

The old and weak people who were carrying the siege ladders had an almost numb look on their faces, and everyone's eyes were dull. They would only follow the orders of the Tartar soldiers following the formation, and step by step toward the two fortress walls in the north and south. Many ragged people were crying while walking, but no one dared to stop and move towards death as they scolded the Tartars behind.

Behind each siege ladder, there was a group of people following. Li Xiao knew that these people were spare items, and once the people carrying the ladder died, they could be filled immediately.

Seeing these people who were driven away by the Tartar soldiers attacking their own castle city, Li Xiao's army guarding the fort walls showed a painful and heart-wrenching look on their faces.

The generals of the armored forces, Tian Wei punched the scepter in front of him and cursed: "The Tartars who are in a dog! The Tartars who kill thousands of swords! Be able to shoot me and force the people to attack the city. What's the point of being able to do this!"

Tian Wei scolded him very much, but Li Xiao looked serious.

In his heart, he did not blame these people at all. After all, for most people, even if they have the shortest chance to live a life and die, they will cherish it even more.

Even ants are greedy for life, let alone people?

Don’t laugh at the mistakes of the predecessors.

In the years that followed, the Qing army sieges all the way after entering the pass, and used the same way to coerce the people to attack the cities many times. In the later Japanese invasion of China, the Chinese people were also numb and miserable.

Former leader Uncle Jiang once recalled that when he was still in middle school, he saw with his own eyes that there were only two Japanese soldiers, one holding a 38-large hood, sweeping across his hometown, arresting more than a thousand workers, and taking them away, but none of them dared to resist.

In the face of cruel and direct violence, it is the most normal choice for unarmed people to obey swords, guns and violence.

In fact, choosing to be obedient under violence is not resisting. All ethnic groups are similar. Some self-righteous young people on the Internet are often more unbearable than those of the Han people.

When the Russians pioneered the East and Central Asia, they destroyed one Khanate after another and one Stan after another. The descendants of the conquered so-called Golden Family were quite tame and cooperative. They were robbed of money, food and women by the Russians, and men were forced to be recruited to the Caucasus Mountains on the Western Front to fight with Ottoman Turkey and compete for the Russians for the southern land of the Caucasus Mountains, which originally belonged to the Armenians. Despite the cruelty and tyrannical Russians, most of these Mongols, except for a very small number of rebels, were tame to the Russian invaders like lambs. In the words of the Russian explorer Simino Derzhnioff: "These lowly Mongolian Tatars have no courage to speak normally under the bayonets of Russia."

The Jurchens, who are arrogant and arrogant, performed more pussy and uselessly in the late Qing Dynasty than the most gentle Han people.

During the Revolution of 1911, the Chairman of the Chiang Party Committee, who was only a handsome young man, led a strange team of more than 100 young men and women and peasants, claiming to be a new army suicide squad. He only set a fire outside the Zhejiang Governor's Office, and frightened hundreds of fully armed Manchu soldiers in the yamen to cry and call their parents, and quickly surrendered, causing Zeng Yun, the last Zhejiang Governor who had just taken the concubine of the eighth room the day before, to become a prisoner.

When he began to figure out that the enemy's current main attack on the two fortress walls in the north and south, Li Xiao immediately ordered two teams of shield soldiers, two teams of spearmen, to garrison the south wall. Another team of shield soldiers, three gunmen, and rampant teams were to garrison the north wall.

On the west side of the city wall, 480 troops of Du Shaoru's troops were arranged to garrison.

On the east side, there are 500 troops of the Jin Dakui army stationed.

The 60 Lumi gunmen were divided into four teams, each with 15 people, and they were divided into four corner towers of Jinjiazhuang Fort, and shot the enemy from the shooting holes of the corner tower.

The newly recruited 75 new civilians and more than 600 new recruits were divided into more than 350 people on each city wall in the north and south. They were used as auxiliary soldiers to fight like pouring gold juice, smashing gray bottles, striking ladder hammers.

All cavalry units are on standby in the fort.

In addition, Wei Zhenfu Anqian, with 45 fort soldiers, maintained public order and organized the people to transport materials to defend the city to ensure the smooth progress of the battle.

"thump!"

"ah!"

After a muffled sound of heavy objects falling into the pit, another slight scream came. Li Xiao saw that among a group of people carrying the ladder, the leading few fell into the deep pit dug by Li Xiaojun, and then they were pierced through the legs or body by a sharp iron stick.

These people, who were originally old and weak, struggled and twisted like earthworms in the deep pit, and ended their painful and tragic life.

Seeing that the siege team stopped, the Tartar soldiers behind immediately shouted loudly, allowing the people who were following forward to replenish the people. The Tartar soldiers whipped these pitiful people hard and allowed the entire team to continue moving forward.

These old and weak people who used their bodies and lives as cannon fodder and thunderbolts had to continue carrying long ladders towards the fort wall.

The continuous screams and the sound of falling into the pit kept ringing.

The people died like ants, and their bodies became stepping stones for the people behind them to move forward.

Anyone who moves a little slower will be beaten by the Tartars immediately. If they are afraid of hesitation and fail to stand in front of the front, they will be immediately chopped and killed by the Tartar soldiers on the spot.

Li Xiao's army soldiers, who were watching this tragic scene on the fort wall, gritted their teeth with hatred.

This road ahead paved with the blood and lives of the people finally entered the range of the Lumi Gunner.

"Sir, the enemy has entered within 150 steps. Should I let the Lumi gunner shoot?" Tian Wei asked Li Xiao hurriedly.

.Li Xiao shook his head gently.

"Sir, are you afraid of hurting these people?" Tian Wei asked in a low voice as he saw the people constantly moving towards the walls of the fort.

Li Xiao's face was as heavy as iron, and he said in a low voice: "No, I am reluctant to waste precious shooting opportunities."

"oh?"

"Zhao Jie, the chief firearm, told his official that when using the Lumi gun, he would hit and release it for more than ten times in a row, and the barrel would not be used again because the barrel was overheated, otherwise he would worry about the explosion. He should not force water to cool down, which may cause the barrel to become brittle. It would take several hours to wait until it cools down naturally before it can be used again. If you shoot and kill such weak people who are purely cannon fodder now, it would be of no benefit." Li Xiao paused and continued: "Tian Wei, no matter how many of these people died, the Tartars would not feel distressed. They would also send waves of ladders to attack the fort. It would be better to save medicine and shoot and kill them when the enemy soldiers climbed up to play the greatest role of blocking the enemy."

Tian Wei looked unwilling: "Sir, our army is unable to stop the Tartars attacking the fort so wildly, so I am really uneasy."

Li Xiao sighed softly and said, "How can we be as satisfactory as we can on the battlefield? These Tartars are all elite soldiers who have fought for a long time. They are already very experienced in capturing state forts. How could they easily fall into our army's routine? We lack weapons, but if we waste it like this, they will be the traitor of the Tartars."

Tian Wei was helpless and knew that Li Xiao was right, so he had to stop saying a word.

Li Xiao also sighed in his heart that there was no way he could do this. If there were enough artillery to defend the city, Li Xiao would have shot over with iron bullets and smashed all the siege ladders that were still on the road.

Seeing that his siege team was close to the wall of the fort, Jialae Zhen Aibali smiled. He turned his head and ordered loudly to the two Niulue Zhen Taramu and Chablu on the side.

"Talam, Chablu, let your two men go to the battlefield to attack the city and attack the north and south castle walls. I send all the followers to support you and strive to win this castle in one fell swoop!"

"Yeah! The slave obeys the order."

Niu Luezhentaramu, who had a twisted and thin face, and Chabulu, who had a fierce look on his face, shouted at the orders. They were quite proud of their ability to win the first prize.

Taramu inadvertently glanced at Bektu and met the other party's jealous gaze.

Taramu sneered in his heart, and then issued a loud military order to attack his subordinates.

Two fully equipped Niulu soldiers with a total of 600 people, as well as more than 600 followers of the archer, began to push the shield cart forward together.

At this time, Li Xiao saw that the Tartar soldiers, both north and south, had twenty shield chariots following them.

I saw that there was a flag on each of the shield chariots. There were high and thick wooden boards in front and thick leather quilts on it, which could effectively resist guns, cannons, bows and arrows, and rollers below, which could rotate flexibly. At this time, these shield chariots followed quickly along the bloody path opened by the people carrying siege ladders in front.

Li Xiao knew that these shield chariots, like those siege ladders, were standard equipment for the Later Jin siege, and dozens of Tartar soldiers should be hidden behind each shield chariot.

These began to quickly push the shield chariot to keep up with the Tatar soldiers who were sieging the city ladder ahead, and they were like Niu Lue who led them forward. Everyone looked expectant and greedy.

In their eyes, this Jinjiazhuang Fort, which had been silent, was like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. It is estimated that as long as they attacked the city, they would immediately collapse like the Ming army elsewhere with insufficient training and low morale.

Nearly an hour later, after a total of nearly 300 elderly and weak people were killed and injured, the siege ladder crossed the deep pit and crossed the moat, and finally shaking towards the north and south city walls.

Seeing the fort wall right in front, Taramu and Chabulu, who were attacking the north and south, were both happy.

"My boys, take the ladder and rush forward!"

The Tartar soldiers hiding behind the shield cart, and heard their own Niu Lue's orders, some of the Tartar soldiers immediately howled and rushed out of the shield cart, snatched the siege ladder from the people carrying the ladder, and continued to rush forward.

In another part, Li Xiao saw that they were all followers of Tartars, including Jurchens and Mongols, standing in the moat outside the two north and south city walls, with nearly 300 people each hiding behind the shield chariots, bent their knees and bows, and raised their arrows, preparing to suppress Li Xiao's army on the city wall when the Tartars attacked the city.

After this difficult marching of death, those poor old and weak people finally got the order to withdraw their own formation. They cried and retreated, strode towards their own formation, but none of them dared to take this opportunity to escape.

The group of Tartars with ferocious faces roared in unison, held high the siege ladder, rushed under the city wall with great strides, preparing to put the siege ladder on the city tower.

Seeing that the Tartars finally arrived under the fort wall, the Li Xiao army above was like a beast that had been silent for a long time, and finally showed its fierce fangs.

"It's a dog, it's a good time!" Tian Wei, who was commanding the city wall on the south, had a trace of hideous pleasure flashed across his face.

On the north and south city walls, there are more than a dozen large pots filled with feces cooked by high heat and steaming with hot fire. These stinking boiling feces are the so-called golden juice. Now, this pot of golden juice cooked so much that the fire-cooked pot quickly poured down from the city wall with the cooperation of the auxiliary soldiers.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"...

The hot and smelly stools and golden juice gave the Tartars a pleasant bath under the city wall.

Wei Zhenfu An Qian, who had just led the fortress soldiers and the people to carry buckets of newly scooped manure and water to the city wall, saw that the thick yellow and smelly golden juice was pouring down from the pot, and it was scattered on the Tartars who were screaming and trying to push the siege ladders over.
To be continued...
