Chapter 186 Defeating the Government Army
Since Lin Kunlun and his men had made preparations in advance and sent some people to investigate the situation, everyone was mentally prepared when the officers and soldiers arrived. Although Lengshui had no city walls, there was a circle of tall walls around the granary, which was a good defense system for the time being.
In order to strengthen the defense, they temporarily built a lot of barricades at the entrance of the warehouse and dug a row of pits. As a result, the officers and soldiers who rushed to the front found that they could not get in at all. The rebels who were thought to be in chaos were not in chaos at all. Behind the barricades, the rebels were waiting for them with long spears and simple shields made of various wooden boards.
"Brothers, follow me! The general has ordered that anyone who rushes in will be rewarded handsomely!" Seeing that the officers and soldiers were blocked outside the barricades, someone began to mobilize everyone's emotions and lead the charge.
In the past two days, the officers and soldiers began to attack the gate. However, the defense of the gate was not high, with only simple barricades and the original solid wooden gate. Are the 1000 people led by Mu Feng standing here? All of them were trained by him personally. Together with other people, they just blocked the gate. The other 1000 well-trained people were scattered around the entire wall to defend against attacks from other places.
Lin Kunlun asked everyone to gather the remaining troops and stand in the middle of the warehouse, ready to counterattack at any time. After all, they had more than 1 people, far more than those palace soldiers. As long as they could repel the first few attacks of the officers and soldiers, dispel their momentum, and consume their manpower, then after these more than 1 troops rushed out, I'm afraid those officers and soldiers would not be able to hold on!
The night was as dark as ink, the cold wind was howling, and the fire outside the granary in Lengshui Town was flickering, reflecting the resolute faces. Lin Kunlun stood in the center of the crowd, his eyes flashing with calmness, and he held the long sword tightly in his hand, as if ready to meet the most violent attack at any time.
The walls around the granary looked even taller in the firelight, and the chevaux de frise and pits were like a natural moat, blocking the officers and soldiers out. But the rebels were as solid as a rock, holding long spears, wearing simple shields, and their eyes flickered with the desire for victory.
"Brothers, come on, those soldiers are exhausted!" Mu Feng stood at the gate, waving his sword and loudly encouraging the soldiers behind him. His voice echoed in the night sky, full of power.
Suddenly, a dense stream of arrows shot out from the camp of officers and soldiers, falling on the shields of the rebels like raindrops, making a "ding-dong" sound. However, these arrows failed to penetrate the defense of the rebels, and they still stood there steadily, waiting for the next attack.
Seeing that the arrows were ineffective, the soldiers launched another charge. Holding spears, they rushed towards the gate with shouts. However, when they rushed to the barricades, they found that these barricades were as hard to move as steel monsters. They had to stop and try to find other breakthroughs.
These officers and soldiers had little training. They could have been fine if they had been given a little help. But they could not do it if they were asked to attack desperately. So they were repelled again and again by the troops guarding the gate organized by Mu Feng. The soldiers who were originally preparing to climb in with ladders were also pushed down the wall mercilessly. This made the officers and soldiers who had originally thought of sharing the food inside realize that they could not capture this place with their own people. At this time, everyone began to retreat or hesitate. No one wanted to lose their lives here.
Seeing that these officers and soldiers were about to retreat. As a veteran of the battlefield, Mu Feng quickly seized this opportunity. He shouted and rushed out from the middle of the barricades with the more than 1000 people guarding the door. !
The soldiers never expected that while they were hesitating, the rebels launched a counterattack. Holding spears, they rushed out of the gate, charging at the officers and soldiers like a tiger descending from a mountain. The officers and soldiers were frightened by this sudden momentum and retreated one after another.
Seeing this, Lin Kunlun immediately ordered the remaining troops to counterattack. They rushed towards the officers and soldiers' camp like a tide, and scattered the exhausted officers and soldiers. Seeing that the situation was not good, the officers and soldiers began to retreat.
Even General Liu was forced to retreat by the defeated officers and soldiers. He had to flee quickly on horseback. He knew that he had already lost this time, and if he was caught by these rebels, there would be no chance of survival.
The night was as heavy as thick ink, and the cold wind howled on the battlefield, stirring up clouds of dust. Outside the granary of Lengshui Town, the fire flickered, reflecting the determined and resolute faces. Lin Kunlun stood at the forefront of the rebel team, his eyes firm and deep, as if he could see through every subtle change on the battlefield.
The soldiers' offensive was like a surging tide, but they were blocked by the solid walls and the carefully arranged chevaux de frise and pits. The rebels, armed with spears and wearing simple shields, stood firm like a rock. Whenever the soldiers tried to approach, they were repelled mercilessly.
As a veteran on the battlefield, Mu Feng keenly sensed the hesitation of the officers and soldiers. He knew that these officers and soldiers, who were usually undertrained, had begun to retreat after being frustrated in consecutive charges. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Brothers, follow me!" Mu Feng shouted, and the long sword in his hand slashed across the night sky, bringing a cold light. More than 1000 rebel soldiers behind him rushed out from the gaps in the barricades like tigers descending from the mountains, and rushed straight to the camp of officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers were caught off guard by this sudden counterattack and their formation was thrown into disarray. They never expected that the rebels would launch such a decisive counterattack when they were hesitating and retreating. Under the fierce charge of the rebels, the officers and soldiers were defeated and fled in all directions.
Seeing this, Lin Kunlun immediately commanded the remaining troops to counterattack. They rushed to the camp of the officers and soldiers like a tide, and rushed those exhausted and demoralized officers and soldiers to pieces. General Liu was also forced to retreat by the defeated officers and soldiers. He knew in his heart that this defeat was inevitable. If he was caught by the rebels, he would have no chance of survival.
On the battlefield, flames shot up into the sky and shouts of killing shook the earth. But in this chaos, the rebels stood firm like a rock in the wind. With their firm belief and tenacious fighting spirit, they successfully repelled the attack of the officers and soldiers and kept the grain depot safe.
In this battle, the rebels not only won the victory, but also gained precious breathing time. They knew that the war was far from over, but they had taken the first step towards victory.
"Haha! These officers and soldiers are nothing but this! They seem to be just a bunch of good-for-nothings!" Zhang Shan couldn't help but laugh when he saw those officers and soldiers being defeated.
"Everyone remember, don't take it lightly! First of all, we have the advantage of terrain! The location of this warehouse is relatively high, and it is difficult for them to succeed by attacking from the bottom up! Add to that the advantage in numbers! We are able to achieve this victory!" Lin Kunlun reminded everyone at this time.
"So what should we do next? Should we continue to guard here or move to other places?" Someone asked at this time. Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Kunlun! Everyone seemed more willing to listen to Lin Kunlun's arrangements and analysis.
"The food in this granary is too important now! It is important to us, and it is also important to the government of Southwest County. They will not give up easily, and they may send a large army here soon! There is no wall here, it is easy to attack but difficult to defend! It is not a place to stay for a long time! Hurry up and have people pack up all the food! Take as much as you can. If you can't take it away, quickly distribute it to the disaster victims around! We can also expand the team!" Lin Kunlun looked at the terrain of the cold water line. There is no wall here. Although it can be defended temporarily due to the high terrain. But it is not as good as those mountain strongholds in the deep mountains and old forests! It is safer to move to other places.
"If we take everything away, we can only take about 80% at most. Should we give the other two floors to the disaster victims?" Sun Ying asked reluctantly. With food, he could recruit more people. So he didn't want to give up.
