"Bastard, where are you? If you come out, I will definitely kill you..." Ren Baqian poked his head out from the corner of the city wall and looked carefully into the darkness in the distance.
He didn't notice that an antenna on his head had completely exposed him.
This is the corner of the east wall and the south wall, one of the few relatively peaceful places.
The sound of killing came from a distance of more than ten meters beside him, but he turned a blind eye to it.
"Pay attention to where the arrow is coming from." Ren Baqian reminded Shihu beside him. Shihu also had a night vision device on his forehead, and was looking out curiously. It was a novelty for him to see people in this way.
"Notify, let it go!" Ren Baqian said towards the back, he had adjusted the angle of the mortar just now, and those who stayed there just need to put the shells in.
A moment later, a "bang" sounded from the city. Ren Baqian stared closely at the sea of people below. Although he couldn't see the people clearly, he could see some movements. Just look for the person who bent his bow and set his arrow at that time. A human figure is enough, and the movement range of the bow is not small, so it is very likely that you will find it.
"Boom!" The shell exploded directly outside the city wall, dyeing the corner of the night vision device red.
At that moment just now, he saw at least three people making the same movement, but none of them shot.
"Is it one of them?" Ren Baqian thought in his heart, holding back his shot.
Sliding down the city wall quietly, and readjusting the angle of the mortar, Ren Baqian hid at the top of the city again and asked someone to fire.
"Boom!"
Ren Baqian carefully looked at the figure in the dark, and cursed MM in his heart, at least ten people made the same action this time.
Daxia doesn't just have a sharpshooter, so no one can be found at all.
Ren Baqian thought of this, moved the gun frame to the next position, held down the trigger and swept over.
Regardless of whether it is or not, let’s talk about it after calling, and you will be unlucky if you make a wrong call.
The first two archers were beaten into rag dolls before they could react.
The third archer jumped backwards, and then ran away.
"A master! A master must die!" Ren Baqian immediately seemed to have found the right master, and he didn't care about other people at all, and directly sprayed the metal dragon with a machine gun and swept towards the figure.
However, there were too many people in the darkness outside, and only the color patches formed by the heat emitted by the human body could be seen. The man only dodged a few times, so it was difficult for Ren Baqian to find him out from the crowd.
After firing a chain of bullets in the general direction, Ren Baqian let Shi Hu go down the city wall with a spear.
There are still many things to do at night, and I can't spend it with him forever.
After Ren Baqian fired a few shells, several offensive faults formed outside the east city wall, allowing the soldiers on the city wall in this direction to breathe a little easier.
Moreover, most of the ladders were destroyed, and the attack intensity at this time was acceptable, and some soldiers were even able to take turns to rest.
With the help of Ren Baqian, he went to the north gate and fired eight cannonballs in a row, and two more shells were fired, one of which hit the wall first and then fell to the ground before exploding. The other one was hung directly on the wall just like the two on the east.
After these few shots were fired, Xia Jun outside the city wall was immediately wiped out, and most of the ladders disappeared.
Walking in all three directions, Daxia's attack finally weakened, and after another half an hour, he finally retreated. Without a siege tool like a ladder, even if they have a large number of people, it is useless. They can only step up cutting down the woods outside to make tools, so as to organize the next wave of attack.
When the Great Xia army retreated, many soldiers sat in a pool of blood, leaning against the wall, and fell into a deep sleep.
After fighting continuously for so long, even hard-working people can't bear it.
Ren Baqian climbed up the city wall with his guards again.
"Take that down." Ren Baqian pointed to the shells nailed to the wall below and said to Shi Hu.
"It won't explode, right?" Shi Hu knows the power of this thing, he has seen it too many times in the past two days.
"Just be careful not to touch the front end." Ren Baqian waved his hand.
He had already asked about this. These shells are double-safety. One is opened when the bottom end is fired, and the other is the fuze at the top. It needs to fall and reach a certain force before it touches the fuze and explodes.
As long as one condition is not met, it is safe.
Not to mention being pierced by an arrow now, even if it is hit by a tracer bullet, it will not explode easily.
Ren Baqian asked someone to find a few pieces of cloth, first cut off the arrow shaft and pulled it out, then wrapped up the cannonball, and carefully put it aside, and threw it directly downward when Daxia attacked next time.
He doesn't know whether it can explode in this situation.
Even if it can't explode, it can kill one.
Then he carefully looked at the long arrows that had been cut off from the cannonballs. They were all wooden poles, with white feathers as tails, and arrowheads made of fine iron at the front.
After looking for a long time, he didn't see anything, so he handed both short arrows to Shi Hu.
"My lord, it's the arrow of the same person." Shi Hu said after only looking at it.
"How do you know?" Ren Baqian asked curiously.
"Some archers will mark the arrows, which means that the person shot to death by himself. Here, there is an engraved mark on both arrows." Shi Hu explained, and handed the arrow tail to Ren Baqian , pointing to the tail and said.
"Sure enough!" Ren Baqian looked at the place Shi Hu pointed at, and sure enough, he found a small pattern on the bottom of the arrow shaft, like a simple flower.
"Okay, it's his fate if he doesn't die." Ren Baqian waved his hand, ignored the matter of the archer, returned to the Chengling Mansion and took out the box containing the mines, and led the people out of the city in a hurry. Ten landmines were scattered and buried at a distance of more than 100 to 200 meters outside the city.
Type 72 anti-infantry mine jumping, after being stepped on, the mine part will jump to a height of one to two meters and then explode. The power of the explosion is not strong, but the 650 fragments contained in it can be used in Create a large number of wounded within a radius of fourteen meters.
This kind of landmine itself is not designed to kill people, but to hurt people. After all, a wounded person needs to be carried away by two people, and needs to be taken care of by others. Compared with killing him directly, it can drag the other party more.
And the wounded still have to eat food.
This is also the reason why Ren Baqian brought back the mines after returning to Earth.
The other party wants to exchange sons? Then he will create a large number of wounded for him. You can't fight, you have to send someone to take care of you, and you have to consume food.
"Be careful not to step on it. If anyone steps on it, it may be buried directly in the soil." Ren Baqian put the mine into the pit, sprinkled the soil on both sides to cover it, and emphasized repeatedly.
After hearing this, the guards and flying knights around him immediately fell silent.
The things that Ren Baqian used, even if they were of the Earth Wheel level, would seriously injure and kill him if he was not careful.
All of them are quite strong men, they walk like cats, and they don't even show their air.
In fact, this kind of landmine will not start to work until it is buried for a period of time, which is to prevent the person who laid the mine from accidentally stepping on it.
At the same time, the so-called jumping mine is not like in film and television works, if you step on it or be pressed by something, it will not jump out and explode. As long as you step on it, the fuze will be ignited. Even if it does not move, it will explode in place in a short time , but the damage to the surrounding area will be smaller.
Then ten landmines were planted in each of the three directions of the north and west of the city. Only then did Ren Baqian lead his men back to the city, and asked them to find more than a dozen pieces of white cloth and write on them with handwriting like chicken feet crawling out. Said: "Be careful where you step!"
"My lord, isn't this a reminder to them? What if they find out?" Shi Hu rubbed his head and said.
"From how many meters can this cloth be seen clearly?" Ren Baqian asked him with squinted eyes.
Hearing this, Shi Hu turned around and ran to a distance to look carefully at the light of the lantern, then ran back and said, "Is it thirty or forty feet during the day? Now it's only about ten feet, so I can't see clearly."
"How far have we been buried?" Ren Baqian hated iron but steel.
"It must be fifty or sixty feet." Shi Hu counted with his fingers.
"Isn't that enough? The opponent stepped on the mine first, killing and injuring everyone. Then when they saw the cloth on the city wall, would they pay attention to their feet when walking? Even if they don't want to pay attention, it can't stop them from thinking wildly, right?"
"And then? We didn't bury it under the city wall, they will find out soon!" Shi Hu continued to ask, he still didn't understand what Ren Baqian's intention was.
Ren Baqian folded his arms and looked serious: "I just want to scare them!"
Shihu: ...
…
On the second day, Da Xia rested for a full day, and only on the third day did he carry a bunch of ladders out to continue the siege.
Now that kind of large-scale ladders like mobile buildings are gone. They are all ladder-like ladders, which can be carried directly to the city wall by a few people.
The army first formed an army formation and approached Liaocheng full of murderous spirit.
When Ren Baqian heard the news that the Great Xia Army had left the camp, he hurried to the city wall with the empress, Li Qianqiu and others, only to see the neat army marching towards Liaocheng after leaving the camp.
At the front are still soldiers holding shields, and behind them are archers and spearmen.
And between the two rows of soldiers, there were still a few people carrying the ladder.
As far as the eye can see, there are at least forty ladders, and there are ladders coming out of the camp behind them.
"They cut down our trees to make ladders, right?" Such an idea suddenly popped into Ren Baqian's mind.
"It's our trees they cut down for cooking and cooking!" Li Qianqiu quietly followed up.
"Does this count as eating ours, using ours, and beating us?" Ren Baqian asked again.
Li Qianqiu's expression froze, he had never considered this question before. Listening to what Ren Yaqianyi said now, it seems that this is the case!
Immediately the whole person was in a bad mood.
"It's almost here!" Ren Baqian and Li Qianqiu chatted a few words, seeing that the Great Xia army was already approaching the farthest mine that was buried yesterday.
Li Qianqiu knew that Ren Baqian went out to bury something at night, but he didn't know what it was, so when he heard what he said, he focused on watching it carefully.
When a row of military columns stepped over the first landmine, and the second row stepped over it, they miraculously did not step on it.
However, an archer in the third row made a slight "click" sound when his footsteps fell.
A second later, when he raised his feet, the thunderbolt bounced directly from the ground.
"boom!"
With the flames, countless steel balls and fragments shot towards the surroundings.
In addition to the nearest people who were blown away and directly smashed into a sieve, many people were injured by the fragments shot indiscriminately, and Daxia's army formation suddenly became chaotic.
Then the second, the third...
Everyone looked at the gradually chaotic Great Xia army formation at the top of the city, and immediately felt refreshed.
"Master Ren, what kind of treasure is this time?" Li Qianqiu turned around and asked.
"Thunder jump!" Ren Baqian said two words.
He just discovered a very interesting thing, the Great Xia Army formation has the shield soldiers in front, the Divine Crossbow Battalion and archers in the back, this is to prevent the impact of the ancient army, and can be covered with arrow rain in the first place.
However, at this time, almost all of these mines exploded in the Divine Crossbow Battalion and the archers' team, causing the greatest damage to these crossbowmen and archers who did not have much protection.
Although the number of people killed and injured was not too many, there were still three to four hundred people, most of whom were wounded, especially the lower three roads, the position below the waist...
The Great Xia army fell into chaos before they reached the city wall.
It took a full hour for the Great Xia Army to move on. At this time, the people in front had good eyesight to see what was written on the white cloth on the city wall.
However, something that Ren Baqian didn't expect happened, and those Daxia soldiers seemed to have never seen it, and they didn't panic at all.
"Master, those illiterates can't read!" Ren Baqian finally found out the reason, and almost dropped his glass.
