Chapter 313 Official Attack
"Order someone to make a statement! If we can defeat the enemy without bloodshed, that would be the best!"
A real war is never about defeating the enemy. The greatest achievement is to pass the level without any injuries.
If the other party can surrender, then not only will our side not suffer any loss, but we can even gain the other party's strength, right?
Babutai gave an order and then passed it down layer by layer. Of course, an official could not do such a thing as running around to make announcements, which could lead to death at any time and anywhere.
The general called on his subordinates, and the subordinates called on each other layer by layer. In the end, even the soldiers did not go, but instead sent out a "cannon fodder".
The cannon fodder had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the foot of the mountain, shouting loudly, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I'm here to deliver a message."
On Liangshan...
The Liangshan heroes who were ready for battle turned around and looked at the leader Chen Xiaodao behind them to see what he meant.
If you were a real Liangshan hero, no one would care whether you were just shouting or not, they would just chop you to pieces with one knife.
But Chen Xiaodao was from the "Northern Liang Army" and was well aware of the principle that "two countries at war should not kill envoys." You have to follow the rules in everything! If you don't follow the rules, when the enemy breaks through your Liangshan, you might end up massacring the whole city.
So he waved his hand, obviously signaling everyone not to open fire. When the soldier came up, one of the dark-faced men who looked like Li Kui shouted directly: "Hey, Er Gouzi! What message are you delivering for your barbarian master?"
Even though he was called a fool, this cannon fodder didn't get angry!
Calling him Ergouzi is an exaggeration. He is not even as good as a real soldier. He is the kind who is responsible for the first wave and rushes to the front to die.
Facing the black-faced man's words, the cannon fodder just smiled and said, "My master Babutai said that you should lay down your weapons and surrender, and submit to the court! Then you can get a position in the government, which is a good destination!"
After saying this, he caused the Liangshan heroes and others to curse. What kind of a shitty fate is this? Being a dog for the barbarians?
"Bullshit! What do you mean by a good ending? Being someone else's lackey like you?"
Chen Xiaodao immediately stepped forward and shouted with great righteousness, then continued: "I still say the same thing. Although I, Chen Xiaodao, am a bandit, I am also a Qi person! I can surrender to anyone, but I will never surrender to barbarians."
Holy shit! Now that things have come to this, what else is there to say?
The soldier didn't waste any more words and said directly, "Goodbye!"
Then he turned around and ran away without saying a word. The other party was determined not to surrender. If he didn't run away, he would definitely take his head as a sacrifice!
Fortunately, these people did not fire without Chen Xiaodao's order, and no one fired a hidden gun, so the soldier finally ran back.
He knelt down in front of Babutai who was riding a tall horse, then raised his hand, pointed at the top of the hill and muttered something.
really……
Babutai slowly turned his head with an indifferent expression on his face, so indifferent that even Chen Xiaodao, who had been watching, felt a pang in his heart.
Holy shit! This guy is definitely not an ordinary barbarian, he must have experienced a major war.
One could clearly see a hint of coldness, a hint of calmness and a hint of disdain in his eyes. He simply looked down on these Liangshan brothers.
"The general has given the order! Fire! Fire!"
Along with the Erqi army, messengers waved flags and rode horses past the artillery formation.
Chen Xiaodao also knew that the war had officially begun!
He didn't waste any time and ordered his side to start dodging the artillery shells.
When this order was issued, many Liangshan heroes were in a state of confusion. When had they fought all the way here? When had they ever heard that they needed to avoid artillery shells?
until……
Boom boom boom! Boom boom!
Amidst the piercing roar of cannon fire, everyone heard a sharp whistling sound and looked up...
Wow! Huge iron balls flew directly towards this side.
It was not until this moment that they felt scared and ran away in panic.
Those who ran fast looked back and saw that the wooden pavilions and watchtowers were hit by the thing and broke into two pieces with a "crack". Those who ran slowly were unlucky and were hit on the body and died on the spot.
Chen Xiaodao stared at the iron balls that kept coming at him, his eyes widening. It was so terrifying! How could the range of this thing be so exaggerated?
"Fight back! Fight back! Fight back now!"
As Chen Xiaodao's order was given, the artillery on the top of Liangshan Mountain began to bombard the bottom of the mountain, and shells were also thrown over.
What the hell!
Now it was the turn of the Erqi army below to be puzzled.
What kind of bandit is this? It’s scary enough that he has a musket, but he also has a cannon?
There is no technical sophistication in using a musket, but a cannon is different; it is a heavy weapon.
It would be a huge effort for the barbarians to get a cannon to imitate it. Why do these bandits have cannons?
The worst thing was that Chen Xiaodao hid the artillery at the beginning, and the sudden firing caught the enemy off guard.
Originally, the range of their artillery was definitely not enough to match that of the enemy's artillery, but fortunately they had the advantage of terrain.
It is easy to shoot from above, just in a parabola, but it is difficult to shoot from below because you have to fight against gravity.
One side didn't expect the enemy's artillery to have such a long range, and the other side didn't expect the bandits to actually hide artillery!
So at the beginning, the sudden attacks between the two sides caused considerable casualties to each other.
After that, both sides no longer had any tactics or fighting methods, they just exchanged fire, going back and forth, trying to suppress the other side.
How can the artillery shells on a hill be compared with the artillery and ammunition stored by an imperial court outside? To put it bluntly, they can even kill you with their energy.
Chen Xiaodao knew that it was bad at first sight. It was a good defensive battle, but if it continued like this, it would probably just be a war of attrition in the end.
While Chen Xiaodao and Babutai were fighting each other, Wang Yuanya, who was sitting in the thatched stove, was extremely anxious.
How could this be?
The bandit leader had already persuaded the bandits, and it was obvious that he was indeed interested in the rebel army. However, at the critical moment, he encountered a large army sent by the barbarians to encircle and suppress them.
This is trouble!
Surrounded by the army, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to. Moreover, there was no other way out in the entire Liangshan Mountain. What if the enemy surrounded them and killed them?
Although they have their own breeding and farming on the mountain.
But what about water resources?
Without water, where will they find water?
No!
Wang Yuanya suddenly realized that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Now she had the chance to save her senior brother.
