The Sacred Ding Chapter 259: We encircle the black cottage again

Chen Hai led the soldiers and horses of Yequ Mountain, and the first raid was the Black Mountain Village. After attacking the southern city gate, he engaged in street fighting with the defenders and bandits for several days. This battle not only annihilated the two thousand remaining soldiers and horses in the Black Mountain Village, but also almost demolished all the houses in the Black Mountain Walled City. Finally, in the cave secret room in the inner palace, the treasures accumulated by the Black Mountain bandits were found.

When Chen Hai and the others left the Black Mountain Village, they distributed a large amount of food and supplies to the slaves. Even if there was a large amount of surplus, the slaves were released at this time and moved to Moyue Lake, more than a thousand miles away.

In order to collect the necessary materials for the construction of Jingjue City, Yachong Camp even remelted the six fine forged iron gates of Heishan Village weighing more than tens of thousands of catties into iron ingots and transported them to Moyue Lake.

The five thousand horse bandits in Guhuo Mountain, after chasing each other for six or seven days in the depths of the vast desert, were forced to withdraw into the Black Mountain Village. There was almost an empty city left in the Black Mountain Village for them to occupy and guard.

At this time, it is March of the Seventy-sixth year of Emperor Yitian. The weather is not so cold, so naturally don’t want to splash water to seal the city gate. At this time, the bandits don’t seem to want to be sealed in the walled city, even Most of the main forces retreated to the Walled City for rest and reorganization. There were more than a thousand elites who dismounted outside the South Tower to form a battle. It was clear that they wanted to take advantage of the topography of the South Tower. More elite archers could be deployed on the gate tower and the two wing walls to form a battle with the city. The elite horse thieves are horns to each other to suppress the charge of Jing Juejun.

The main force of the Black Mountain Army is still four or five thousand miles away. This time Chen Hai led the horse infantry to camp and garrison ten miles away from the Nancheng Tower, and then calmly arranged the siege.

Fan Dachun's two thousand fine riders were also exhausted at this time. There were even dozens of people living and exhausted in the depths of the vast desert. Not a few were exhausted, but at this moment the whole army was extremely excited. .

If you really fight in the depths of the vast desert, there is no favorable terrain like Shiyuexia, and the bandits are full of vigilance, and all run faster than the rabbits, even if they can defeat the enemy in the end, the number of enemies will be wiped out. I'm half sad, how can I not be excited when I watch the five thousand thieves enter the urn thoroughly?

The main force of the horse infantry army is staring at the enemy's every move. Fan Dachun led two thousand elites to ride off the horse to rest. There is nothing to worry about. The physical strength and energy recovery are also fast. At the same time, Chen Hai also reported the news immediately. Passed to Deng Tonger and others who stayed behind at Moyue Lake and supervised the construction of a new and outstanding city.

Moyue Lake is about 1100 miles away from Heishan Village, and there are two pocket-sized oasis in the middle that can be used as springboards.

Deng Tonger learned that the Guhu bandit had been forced into the Black Mountain Village by the main force of the Jing Jue army, and immediately arranged a heavy camp to transport a large number of cast iron parts of the sling crossbow to Montenegro at the fastest speed, so as to In a fast speed, multiple sling crossbows can be assembled, which can form an effective threat and strike against enemies in the Walled City.

At this time, hundreds of horses were exhausted, which is nothing at all—Chen Hai also wanted Deng Tonger’s two pocket oasis between Moyue Lake and Black Mountain and three other places in Shiyue Gorge. Replenishment barriers can be established to facilitate the more effective and orderly passage of materials and personnel from the two places.

Shiyuexia is completely a rock mountain in the depths of the desert. There is no water source on the surface. It is extremely difficult to establish a supply base. Chen Hai asked Deng Tonger to dig a deep well there. Even if the deep well cannot produce water, he can deploy a condensate. The water symbol array gathers rain and dew to store water.

Shiyue Gorge is the center point between Moyue Lake and Black Mountain Village. Whether it is necessary to use Moyue Lake’s resources to capture Black Mountain Village, or in the future, Moyue Lake and Black Mountain Village will be included in the governance of Jingjue City. Jurisdiction, Shiyuexia are strategic points.

There are a total of 17 small and medium-sized oasis near Heishanzhai, and a total of 17 small and medium-sized tribes are also inhabited, all of whom were previously forced to surrender to the brutal and prosperous power of the Heishan bandits.

In addition to the six tribes that have already taken the initiative to enchant the Demon Moon Lake, there are also eleven small and medium-sized tribes moved to Moyue Lake because of fear of **** revenge from the Black Mountain bandits, or because they are unwilling to give up the beautiful oasis of aquatic plants. , Or because of being deeply assimilated by the Black Mountain bandits, at this time they have not yet chosen to belong to Jingjue City.

But by this time, Chen Hai will not give these tribes more choices.

Chen Hai personally casts eleven exquisite school wei seals, and asks Guo Hong to send people to the tribes:

The one who accepts the seal of the captain is the clan of the captain of Jingjue City. It takes five days to send Jianyong at a rate of one out of ten, carrying the corresponding horses, armors, and grains to participate in the siege of the city. fighting.

Under the guise of the state envoy, Chen Hai officially established Montenegro as the sub-city of Jingjue City. He ruled the surrounding area for three hundred miles and refused to accept the captain’s seal. Within half a month, the clan moved out. An oasis within 300 miles of Heishanzhai.

Either the clan joins the war, or the clan moves out, and there is no longer a choice of staying and watching the situation and enjoying the benefits.

Jing Juejun’s previous series of victories, plus Chen Hai led nearly ten thousand soldiers and five thousand soldiers to besieged the tired horse thieves in the black mountain village, plus a little bit of coercion and lure, 11 There were nine of the family tribes, and they almost didn't hesitate to accept Chen Hai's delivery to Jing Jue Xiao Wei Yin.

These nine tribes have 70,000 people, and they will send Jianyong at a rate of one out of ten. They will rush to the Black Mountain Village to participate in the war with horses, armors, and grains. In addition, Deng Tonger will send two from Moyue Lake. There are more than 18,000 people that Chen Hai can call outside the Black Mountain Village.

A large amount of grain, iron, wood and other materials are also continuously gathered in large numbers.

Chen Hai first arranged thirty sling crossbows to collapse the South City Tower, clear the obstructions on the city wall, and then built dozens of carts approaching the city wall from both wings, built in more than a thousand archers, and fired with arrows and crossbows against the bandits. Forced down from the city wall, and then advanced step by step towards the city gate with a phalanx of spears.

In the depths of the vast desert, the bandit bandits have finally withdrawn into the Black Mountain Village. This is already a desperate choice. In addition to the necessary food, they mainly carry precious belongings with them, and discard some cumbersome bulk materials in the depths of the vast desert. When they withdraw into the black mountain village, they find that the walled city is in a panic, and they want to organize soldiers and horses to defend the city. Hundreds of craftsmen followed, but there was not enough wood or iron in the Walled City to make defensive equipment.

Although most of the thieves are wearing sophisticated armor, sometimes, the Jing Juejun uses double-layer wooden nails or wires to tie them together, resulting in shields or sidecars, defensively. It is better than sophisticated armor, and at the same time can shelter a large number of archers, swords and shield soldiers approaching the city wall.

The spear phalanx has great disadvantages, but the elite army now has an absolute advantage in strength, and the morale is extremely strong. There is no need to worry about the flanks being attacked, just forming a dense spear wall on the front, step by step Moving forward will be unstoppable.

The horse thieves were soon forced to retreat to the Black Mountain Village.

The phalanx spear formation is not conducive to street fighting in complex terrain. Other swordsman and archer soldiers are not as good as horse thieves in street fighting. Chen Hai is not eager to send troops into the city to seize the lanes.

His main purpose is to first seal up five thousand thieves in the city, and then build more sling crossbows to the periphery of the Walled City, uninterruptedly loading one by one. Rock bombs weighing hundreds of catties or even hundreds of catties were thrown into the Walled City with flame bombs filled with kerosene after being hollowed out, so that these five thousand horse thieves knew that it would be their worst mistake to retreat into the black cottage. select.

The horse thief’s advantage lies in the vast sea of ​​sand. Attacking and defending the village is their fatal weakness. Of course, in the past, the Western Qiang State seemed to have strong soldiers and horses, but they wanted to organize large-scale siege wars in the depths of the sand. , Is also extremely difficult.

With a heavy-duty catapult, it only needs 20 or 30 people to operate it, and the range can be as far away as 2,000 steps, while the ordinary human-type catapult requires one or two hundred people to operate at the same time. Throwing hundreds of kilograms of stone bullets beyond a thousand steps is too restrictive.

The horse thieves trapped in the Black Mountain Village are led by the Guhu Mountain Horse Thieves, but they only account for one-third of the troops. Nearly two-thirds of the horse thieves are left-behind soldiers and horses from other seven or eight cottages. .

They thought they would be safe and sound if they gathered at Guhuo Mountain. Who would have thought that the edge of Jing Juejun would be so prosperous?

In this world, it has never been easy to share wealth, and it is even more difficult to share adversity.

If these eight or nine horse thieves gather in Guhu Mountain, they can get along without any threats, but after Qigu escapes from Shandong, internal disputes and contradictions will begin to emerge, and by then they will be besieged. In Heishanzhai, you have to be bombarded by a large number of stone bullets and flame bombs at all times. It is to defend the village for help, or break the siege, or surrender to save your life~IndoMTL.com~The contradiction began to intensify.

On the tenth day, someone secretly sent a secret letter, intending to cooperate with the inside and outside, and help the elite to take the Black Mountain Village.

Even if the horse thief who wants to surrender knows Deng Tonger and Fan Dachun, it is difficult to tell if this is a trap. Chen Hai ordered the persuasion letter to be thrown into the Walled City. Those generals who wanted to surrender should first abandon their soldiers and horses, run over to surrender and accept the control of this side. It does not require them to cooperate with each other inside and outside to seize the Black Mountain Village; or They are unwilling to give up their direct line of soldiers and horses, and they can smash out of the Black Mountain Village by themselves and lay down their soldiers and surrender to the designated place.

In three days, there will be a horse thief who can no longer bear the whole day of stone bombing and death threats. Taking advantage of the short break in the morning every morning, he will open the defensive section of the wall, more than 200 People rushed out of the black cottage to surrender and accept the reorganization.

This is like a big lake making an opening. The first horse thief came out of the city to surrender, which means that the morale of the remaining horse thief has entered the final stage of collapse.

Soon thousands of horse thieves came out and surrendered through various methods. Chen Hai no longer hesitated at this time. With these surrendered horse thieves as the pioneers, Fan Dachun, Han Wendang, and Deng Tonger led three thousand elites, and followed closely. , Formally entered the village from the three breaches of the wall, for the final battle to seize the city...

For more than ten days, the sling crossbow continued to bombard, and tens of thousands of stone bullets and flame bombs were mined and cast into the black cottage. Although the horse thieves may have thousands of casualties, this kind of passive beating, The situation of being unable to fight back, for the horse thief who had no loyalty, the morale was almost collapsed.

Together with the surrendered horse thieves, a total of four thousand elites rushed into the black cottage. The war can be described as smashing the dead. Many horse thieves did not have the courage to surrender, nor the will to resist. They just took advantage of the situation when the elites entered the black cottage. Choose to lay down the soldiers and surrender.
