Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 92 Attack Arrangement
The troops that Su Xinliu brought were all the sika deer spirits under his command. For this battle, Wang Liang could be said to have mobilized all of his guard forces.
Not only the yellow sheep spirit, wild dog spirit, and sika deer spirit were called upon, but even the sparrow spirits were all mobilized.
Of course, the Sparrow Spirit was not here at this time, but at the Xiao family's ancestral home.
Wang Liang is not the kind of person who would not fight back if hit.
His previous goal was to eliminate the coalition forces of the three families first.
Now that the three coalition forces have almost resolved the issue, Wang Liang will naturally start to fight back.
The forces in the other two counties can be dealt with slowly later, and Wang Liang’s first target fell on the Xiao family.
Because Wang Liang was the first one to have contact with the Xiao family, he knew a lot about them.
He knew that in addition to Siming County, the Xiao family also had an ancestral home.
That is the base of the Xiao family. It is surrounded by a village on all four sides. These four villages are all the residences of the Xiao family's children and servants.
If it were normal times, Wang Liang would still need to think about it, but it is different now. The Xiao family's troops have been transferred out, and the boss of the Xiao family is waiting for news in Siming County. Now is the best time for Wang Liang to take action.
Wang Liang, with his men who had just come down from the battlefield , headed straight for the position they had locked onto early in the morning.
The sparrow spirits that had just been mobilized became the main force of this attack.
They flew through the sky, carrying various flammable or heavy throwing objects towards one of the villages.
The number of sparrow spirits under Wang Liang's command reached one thousand. Although they were small in size and carried little, they could fly in the air.
Their means of attack are relatively simple. When they are sure that the enemy cannot hit them, they will fly in groups in the sky and continuously throw things to the ground.
What they threw down were either gunpowder packs, rocks that would explode, or things like triangular diamonds.
In the blink of an eye, the village was engulfed in fire.
At the same time, Wang Liang's troops also rushed into the village when it was in chaos.
Wang Liang didn't care whether the people in the village were armed or not. Anyone who blocked his way was his enemy.
Riding on a bronze warhorse, Wang Liang led his troops from the entrance of the village to the end of the village, and then went straight out and rushed towards the Xiao family's ancestral home.
Most of the Xiao family members and servants who rushed out to put out the fire were killed. By the time they reacted, Wang Liang's army was almost at the Xiao family's ancestral home.
These people hurriedly rang bells, called for help, put out fires, and those who wanted to rescue the Xiao family's ancestral home ran out of the village. In short, the place was in chaos.
In the midst of this chaos, the sparrow spirits in the sky flew back and brought some more trouble to the village.
This time, the sparrow spirits no longer threw things down. Their transportation capacity was limited. They could not carry too many things, nor could they fly too far.
So the last time, they had already thrown away 30% of their ammunition. If they continue to waste it like this, they won't be able to win the rest of the battle.
For this reason, the sparrow spirits simply descended from the sky at this time, using a fighting method they were not used to, to influence those villagers who wanted to leave the village to rescue the Xiao family's ancestral home.
After rushing through the village, Wang Liang sped up again. This time he no longer hid anything and led his men to rush towards the Xiao family's ancestral home at their fastest speed.
The Xiao family also reacted quickly. When they saw the smoke rising from the village in the distance, they began to ring the bell to call people back to the village, closed the gate, and prepared to defend themselves using the terrain.
If Wang Liang only brought infantry or something, the Xiao family could hold off until support from the other three villages arrived.
By that time, Wang Liang's side would turn into a chaos.
But this time, Wang Liang's men brought the Sparrow Spirit with them.
The sparrow spirits who had just flown here had not had a chance to rest when Wang Liang gave them orders.
"Throw all the burning gunpowder bags in there. I mean all of them. Then you split into three teams and block the enemy reinforcements on the way there. You don't have to get involved in the rest.
Little squirrel, it's up to you now."
After arranging the task for the sparrow spirit, Wang Liang's attention fell on the squirrel spirit.
These squirrel spirits did not take action along the way. They did not even run. They just sat on the backs or heads of the yellow sheep spirits and wild dog spirits, and were led by them to charge.
It can be said that these squirrel spirits did not suffer any hardship at all.
Now the more than 600 squirrel spirits brought by Wang Liang all stood in front of Wang Liang, listening to his orders.
"Go around the edge, follow the city wall into their village, and assassinate their guards. Don't worry about anything else. I need you to occupy their armory, granary, treasury, account office and other important locations. Also arrange a team to guard the city gate. When we launch the siege, you must open the gate for me."
All the squirrel spirits nodded in response to Wang Liang's order. They were born to be assassins. Although they were not tall, they were very strong. What they were best at was various climbing movements. They could even climb up straight trees, so these city walls would naturally not be a problem for them.
With a wave of his hand, the little squirrel spirit left quickly.
Wang Liang asked the team to stop for a while, let them rest and eat something to replenish their life and strength.
Afterwards, Wang Liangcai rode a bronze warhorse and came to the gate of the Xiao family's ancestral home alone.
He noticed that the style of the Xiao family's ancestral home was somewhat similar to that of his own main home. The higher wall outside the home was actually the back house where the servants lived.
On the second floor, you can clearly see some people guarding with bows and crossbows. There are not many of them, and they are wearing ordinary clothes. It can be seen that they were temporarily recruited.
Wang Liang walked around outside the Xiao family's ancestral home, then raised his hand to the sky.
The sparrow spirit flew out from the nearby woods and began to fly towards the Xiao family's ancestral home.
As soon as they saw the sparrow spirit in the sky, the people of the Xiao family knew what had happened. They quickly raised their bows and crossbows and shot into the sky.
However, the number of sparrow spirits was too large. Even if these people kept shooting, eight or nine hundred sparrow spirits flew into the Xiao family's ancestral home and dropped burning gunpowder bags below.
These gunpowder bags are all made of flammable materials. When they are thrown down, they are already ignited and will make a loud explosion when they fall to the ground.
Almost in an instant, the Xiao family's ancestral home caught fire.
