Chapter 441

The walls of the Chen family's mansion are high and the house is solid. There is a deep ditch outside. It is very difficult to attack after the gate is hung. In addition, the Chen family's private soldiers are well-trained and the feather arrows are hardly empty, so Shanzi camp suffered a small loss. He rushed twice in a row and couldn't get close to the wall. Instead, he lost a hundred and ten hands.

After all, Lu Fenghou is not a veteran. In terms of the ability of the command team, he can't even compare with Chen Qianshan. Chen Qianshan has been in the left avant-garde for more than ten years. He only sees and hears more than Lu Fenghou. Fortunately, Lu Fenghou was not impulsive and reckless. Knowing that the Chen family courtyard was hard to chew, he did not continue to carry it forward.

After Fang Xie arrived, he carefully observed it and rode around the Chen family courtyard.

"Hard attack is not impossible, but there are too many casualties."

Seeing Fang Xie frowning, sun Kaidao leaned forward and said: "As you can see, we are fast enough to break through qiu'an County, so we are still rich in time. It's better to use giant shield to cover the captured rebels to find cloth bags and fill the deep ditch outside the Chen family's mansion. The courtyard wall is the highest, but after all, the number of Chen family private soldiers and archers is limited. After filling the deep ditch for a period, we can suppress it with arrow array or break the Chen family's mansion."

Fang Xie nodded: "just do as you say. Tell you that those rebel prisoners can avoid death by throwing a bag each. Those who disobey will be beheaded."

Lu Fenghou immediately took people to do it and escorted the more than 1000 rebel soldiers. Although there was no grain in the Yamen of qiu'an County, there were not many sacks in the Treasury. Although these rebel soldiers were reluctant, none of them wanted to die. Under the cover of giant shield, they rushed forward with sacks filled with soil.

The Chen private soldiers on the wall of the courtyard poured down the feather arrows like crazy, but after all, the number was limited. After the rebels lost one or two hundred people, they soon filled the deep ditch for a long time. The archers of Shanzi camp began to press forward in an organic form. They also had the hard bow of the great Sui Dynasty, but they had an absolute advantage in the number.

At the beginning, Duan Zheng, because of his admiration for Fang Xie and the men of Huangyang Road, allocated a large number of materials from the navy to Shanzi camp. The feather arrows were crowded like locusts and spread on the wall of the courtyard. The private soldiers of the Chen family were soon suppressed and couldn't lift their heads. Lu Fenghou looked at the opportunity and rushed up with a regiment of soldiers himself.

The soldiers of Shanzi camp carried the ladder they had picked up. Although it was simple, it could reach the wall of the courtyard. More than 100 brothers had been lost before. Lu Fenghou was holding a fire in his heart. He had a horizontal knife in his mouth, a shield in one hand and a ladder in the other. The feather arrow on the side of Shanzi camp stopped, and the Chen private soldiers immediately stood up and fought back. Many soldiers of Shanzi camp were killed from the ladder The arrow shot down and fell heavily to the ground.

What Fang Xie's team needs most now is the siege equipment, so the attack is very difficult. Although the ladder is long enough, it is too soft. People climb up and shake badly on the ladder. It is obvious that Chen's private soldiers have long been prepared to deal with this situation, and all the means of defense have been used.

Several private soldiers pushed out the ladder with a joint force of scratching the hook, and the soldiers still climbing on it shouted and fell down. Although many people did not die, they lost their combat effectiveness for a while.

"Pour oil and ignite!"

Chen Dingnan, the eldest grandson of the Chen family, shouted with a cold face. The private soldiers immediately spilled the boiling oil. Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers of the Shanzi camp were drenched with hot vegetable oil, and the wailing sound seemed so sad. Where the oil was spilled, a layer of skin would be removed as soon as they touched it. After someone was drenched, the whole face was burned, and even the voice in his throat was released 。

"Rocket!"

Chen Dingnan gave an order again. The private soldiers lit the feather arrow wrapped in tarpaulin and shot it down. Suddenly, a sea of fire immediately rose under the courtyard wall. At least thirty or forty attacking shanziying soldiers were caught up in the fire, and soon fell to the ground and lost their chance.

Lu Fenghou lost another fifty or sixty men and was forced back by the sea of fire.

"That won't work!"

Chen Qianshan said eagerly, "the people of the Chen family are fully prepared. If they attack hard, the loss is still too great."

"They use fire, and so do we."

Fang Xie waved his hand and said, "don't worry about the feather arrow. Burn the yard for me."

Hundreds of archers immediately moved, wrapped the feather arrows and lit them. Hundreds of rockets were fired out, and a wail came from the courtyard wall. The archers kept firing arrows and completely suppressed the Chen private soldiers again. Soon, flames rose in the courtyard. After all, most of the buildings in the courtyard were made of wood, some unimportant small houses had thatched roofs, and thick smoke came from the courtyard wall It floats inside and gets darker and darker.

I could hear people boiling in the yard, obviously taking water to put out the fire.

Chen Dingnan looked at the officers and soldiers surrounded outside, and his face became more and more dignified.

"Young master!"

A boy ran up the track and panted to him: "The old man asked whether the young man was sure to retreat from the enemy. The old man said that after all, the people around the house were not bandits, not Mongolian Yuan people, but the officials and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. If they couldn't hold on, the old man said he was willing to spend money to buy peace. It seems that the people outside are just plotting. We'll send some of the food and grass in our house as long as we don't touch them. The old man said he's afraid to offend the people outside , it brought the disaster of extermination to the Chen family. "

Chen Dingnan knew that the old man's worry was not unreasonable. The number of officers and soldiers outside was at least ten times that of his own soldiers. He was confident that with these 500 soldiers trained by himself, he could defeat five or even ten times the bandit rebels, but he was not sure that he could always resist the attack of the officers and soldiers.

If the resistance is too fierce and the officers and soldiers lose too much, once it is broken, the Chen family will immediately fall into an irreparable situation.

"Go and tell the old man that I have my own discretion!"

Chen Dingnan frowned and gave an order, then turned back and shouted, "let the people below splash water on the roof near the courtyard wall. Everyone who can move is busy. Don't let the fire startle the old man!"

The people below promised, and almost all the people who did not participate in the war were busy putting out the fire.

Looking at the private soldiers on the city wall, Fang Xie couldn't lift his head, turned back and ordered, "let the prisoners continue to pile sacks and build a fishbeam Avenue."

Sun Kaidao wanted to make such a suggestion. He was delighted to see Fang Xie. From this point, he could see that the young general he took refuge in was decisive.

……

……

Under the pressure of the archers, the rebel prisoners began to pile sacks outside the courtyard wall. More than a thousand people ran back and forth, and the pile of sacks was getting higher and higher. Chen Dingnan looked at the frightened rebels working for the enemy in order to survive and scolded in a low voice.

He wanted to order people to pile the courtyard wall with sacks every three feet, but he hesitated when he thought of the old man's words. Finally, he shook his head and suppressed the idea.

"Pour oil on the fishbeam Avenue they piled up and set it on fire!"

He shouted.

The private soldiers of the Chen family braved the arrow rain and poured oil pots on the fish beam road. Most of the soldiers were shot over by the archers of the Shanzi camp as soon as they appeared. But after all, they only want to target the Yuliang road. After losing 20 or 30 people, they still light the Yuliang road.

"Let the rebel prisoners carry the wet mud mat!"

Fang Xie pointed to Yu Liang Dao and ordered.

The soldiers of Shanzi camp brought water and mud, and the rebel prisoners carried buckets filled with wet mud and sent them to the Yuliang road. Because of the advantage in the number of people and the cover of shanziying archers, the flame on the Yuliang road was pressed down soon.

After more than an hour, a fishbeam road with a width of three meters was finally paved. Lu Fenghou held his breath, simply took off his coat, carried a horizontal knife and took a regiment of soldiers with bare arms to rush up again. On the courtyard wall, most private soldiers gathered in this section. The archers kept raising their heads and shooting arrows, but they were not accurate because they were suppressed. Lu Fenghou rushed up the fishbeam road and soon approached the courtyard wall.

"Where are my own soldiers?"

Chen Dingnan grabbed his horse and shouted. Fifty or sixty men behind him immediately answered. He jumped out of the city wall and rushed to Lu Feng Hou along the fish beam Road: "follow me to push the enemy back!"

"Promise!"

Dozens of men rushed out with him and formed a front vector array, which was very neat.

Lu Fenghou saw that the man in armor came down in person, and his eyes immediately turned red. He roared and rushed up with people. Chen Dingnan smashed his hand sideways. Lu Fenghou pushed his knife with both hands. When he heard it, his arms were numb. The young man who looks handsome and arrogant has surprisingly great strength in his hands.

Chen Dingnan took a step back from Lu Feng and Hou Zhen, and then stabbed him straight. In his hand, the long dog was like a dragon, fast as lightning, and stabbed seven or eight times in an instant. Lu Fenghou's martial arts were not so outstanding, so he was immediately in a hurry. The horizontal knife kept hitting the block. Although it was not stabbed, it was full of danger.

Chen Dingnan saw a flaw. He stabbed Lu Fenghou on his shoulder, then swept it sideways and swept Lu Fenghou down the fishbeam road. If there were not bodies piled up below, he could break several bones of Lu Fenghou. Chen Dingnan stabbed a blood hole in his shoulder, and the blood flowed out along the wound stream.

"Chungu, come with me."

Looking at Lu Fenghou's failure again, Fang Xie lifted Chaolu's knife and strode forward. Chungu and their ten immediately followed the pace of the solution above and straightened up the big Mo Dao in their hands. The bright light armor and big Mo Dao reflected a cold awn in the sunlight, and their awe inspiring momentum immediately filled the air.

Without armor, Fang Xie walked in front with Chaolu knife. From time to time, a feather arrow came. Fang Xie waved a knife and knocked the feather arrow away.

Chen Dingnan took his own soldiers to a counter charge. Relying on the advantages of terrain and his excellent martial arts, he forced 300 soldiers of Shanzi camp back again and again. Chen Dingnan attacked from top to bottom, and Shanzi camp suffered losses from bottom to top. In addition, those private soldiers knew that if they were defeated, there was no way to live, so they all moved forward bravely.

The soldiers of Shanzi camp were forced down the Yuliang road. Chen Dingnan immediately withdrew with people. Before returning to the city wall, he saw the young man in black coming towards this side, walking like a tiger!

He frowned immediately after he saw the young man in black and the ten burly soldiers.

He wiped the sweat running down his face. After a moment of silence, he said with some disappointment: "go and tell the old man that money and food can be prepared now."

He took off his iron helmet, stood at the height of the courtyard wall and shouted to the other side, "general outside the courtyard, I have something to say to you!"

Fang Xie and the ten men in the service camp had reached the bottom of Yuliang Avenue. When he heard the call of the armored young general, he paused.

It seemed that he hesitated for a moment, but soon took his foot again.

As soon as Chen Dingnan's eyes changed, he immediately put on the iron helmet again: "why should the general continue to fight? It's just that many people are killed and injured! Chen Mou's resistance is also a last resort. I hope the general will forgive me!"

Fang Xie strode forward without saying a word.

Just at this time, the old man of the Chen family, who was already in his seventies, was helped to climb up the courtyard wall. The old man looked at the dense army outside, and a trace of anger and worry flashed in his eyes. He understood what his grandson thought, but he could see that his grandson had done it.

"You stand down!"

He gave a cold command to Chen Dingnan, broke away from the help of the two boys and quickly walked to the courtyard wall: "the general outside, please stop, I am willing to surrender!"
