Chapter 233: Raise your eyebrows
The northwest wind blows from the Hetao area, as if carrying a wave of warmth.
The flags on the walls were hunted by the wind.
Zhe Jizu stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance.
Two eagles flutter and chase in the sky, gradually decreasing in height.
Zhe Jizu's gaze followed downward......
Countless cavalry gathered in the distance, silently waiting for orders.
He turned around and saw the river waves.
It was the Yellow River, and the city of Fuzhou was built on the mountain beam by the Yellow River.
If the Tangut people want to enter the Great Song Dynasty, this is a must-pass place.
The two eagles swooped down to the ground, and the arrows flew up.
With an eagle roar, the two eagles flapped their wings and flew high, and the arrows fell into the air.
More than 10,000 cavalry began to agitate.
"The enemy has moved!"
The watchman turned around and screamed.
The silent city walls came to life at once.
Countless soldiers began to prepare for defense.
The strings of the bed crossbow were pulled with difficulty, and the thick ballista was placed in the slot.
Someone in the distance shouted.
"Zhizhou, the enemy army is boosting morale!"
Zhe Jizu nodded and reached out to hold the wall tiles.
β***β
After a wild shout, the enemy rode away. But he dismounted.
The terrain of Fuzhou City is steep, and the cavalry impact is delusional.
The cavalry became foot soldiers, but the impact of more than 10,000 foot soldiers was still huge.
The footsteps gradually became rapid and dense, beating on the ground like countless drums being beaten.
The Tanguts looked excited, and they took their bows and arrows in their hands and ran faster and faster.
"Zhizhou!"
The bed crossbow is waiting for orders.
But the ancestor just looked coldly at the enemy army that gradually began to accelerate.
His hand slowly raised, and someone on the side of the bed crossbow raised the big axe at the same time.
With a swing of the big hand, the back of the big axe fell, and the crossbow machine was smashed......
Woohoo Woo!
More than a dozen thick ballistas flew out.
The ballista flew through for a while, then fell headlong.
A Tangut was cheering when a crossbow spear pierced through his chest.
The crossbow spear still had undiminished momentum after piercing a person, directly putting him and his comrades behind him together.
Burst!
The sharp tip of the spear pierced into the grass and pinned the two men here.
The screams were terrifying, and those Tangut people didn't dare to look here, and they were urged to speed up.
Countless Tangut people rushed past the two of them, and their morale gradually fell a little.
The bed crossbow was never the main force to kill the enemy, but was only used to hit the opponent's siege equipment, and it was used to destroy the opponent's morale.
The observing sergeant shouted: "Zhizhou, two hundred steps!" β
It is well known that the bed crossbow could not stop the onslaught of enemy troops.
Zhe Jizu was watching.
"One hundred and fifty steps!"
The weather was good, and Zhe Jizu had already seen those Western Xia people who were gasping.
It's so hideous!
He shook his head slightly, then raised his hand.
"Crossbow ......"
Someone was screaming in a hoarse voice.
Just behind them, rows of crossbowmen knelt on one knee at the head of the city, raised their crossbows, and tilted them to the sky.
"One Hundred Steps ......"
The hand of the ancestor was swept down like a chop.
"Crossbow...... Put! β
Bang bang bang bang......
The sound of the intensive pulling of the crossbow machine came, and in an instant, there was a dark cloud on the head of Fuzhou City.
The clouds rose and began to subduct at the highest point.
"It's the crossbow arrows of the Song people!"
Those Tangut people began to be in chaos, and some people wanted to dodge this dense crossbow arrow, but they were surrounded by comrades, and there was nowhere to escape, so they could only watch in despair as the dark clouds plunged down.
Crossbow arrows rushed down from a high place, and wherever the rain of arrows went, the howl was incessant.
No matter what kind of armor it is, it turns into papier-mΓ’chΓ© when it encounters a powerful crossbow bolt.
A Tangut man discarded his bow and arrows, covering his face with one hand and his chest with the other, in a vain attempt to block the crossbow arrows.
He only felt a shock in his hand, then a blow in his chest, and finally his lower abdomen......
He looked down blankly, looked at the two crossbow arrows in his chest and lower abdomen, and then slowly knelt on the ground as soon as his knees went limp.
The grass was green, but it was splashed by the grass juice stepped on by the Tangut people in front.
He smelled the scent of the grass, and a huge force rushed behind him, and he immediately threw himself on the grass, and countless big feet stepped on his body and continued to run forward.
Countless enemy troops are rushing forward and one after another.
"Crossbow...... Put! β
A dark cloud rose again over the city.
"There are too many crossbowmen of the Song people, and they are fired intensively, and we will suffer heavy losses before we can rush to the city...... And morale is completely lost. β
Several Western Xia generals watched this scene from behind, and some people said distressedly: "The raid is not successful, the ancestor is cunning, I am afraid that he has been prepared for a long time, or he will ......."
Withdraw it!
When the third wave of crossbow bolts covered again, a voice shouted.
"Where did that beast get so many crossbowmen? Did Emperor Song start to trust the Zhejia again? Take it down! β
The desolate horns sounded, and the crossbowmen at the head of the city were still winding.
Step on the ring with one foot, lift it with both hands, and exert force under your feet, and the winding is so easy, so fast.
"The enemy is back!"
The Tangut people who were running heard the sound of the bull's horn and immediately turned around and ran.
This posture was too resolute, and it completely lost the fierce style of the Tangut people.
The Tangut people have been entangled with Tibet for a long time, and later they fought with the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State.
"Zhizhou, do you want to open the city to chase for a while?"
A general asked itchingly.
There were all eager eyes around, and Zhi Jizu shook his head and said, "We don't have enough cavalry, so ...... Go out and clean up. β
The gates opened, and the sergeants and men went out on guard, and then cleaned the battlefield.
The sun is shining brightly, and the sun is warm.
"Found alive!"
"Spear! Spears come here! Stab him! β
"Ahh
Such voices came from time to time under the city, but Ji Zu was not interested in it at all.
He turned around and looked at the crossbowmen who were sitting down and resting on the spot, and said happily: "If you don't have this soldier's weapon, you will definitely fight with the Xixia people in the city today, but now just spending some crossbow arrows can make the enemy lose heart, okay!" β
Don't say anything about the big song, it's rich.
Do you want crossbow arrows? How much do you want?
Madan!
As long as you dare to say that you can hold this place, as many as you want!
I can't help it! Brother is rich, brother just wants to use money to smash you to death, you poor ghosts are not convinced?
This is the idea of the Great Song Dynasty, but in the past, there was no force, and money could only be used to buy peace.
This time the Xixia people failed in their sneak attack on Fuzhou City, according to the rules, this is a big victory, and afterwards it should be rewarded and punished.
"Zhizhou, the Western Xia people have withdrawn!"
Someone shouted for joy.
When Ji Zu turned around, he saw that the Tangut people had returned to their horses, mounted their horses one by one, and then turned around on their horses and withdrew without hesitation.
An old pawn stood on the side, watching the Tangut people gradually move away, he felt that the danger was far away from him, so he raised his arms and shouted: "Great Song! β
The voice was full of joy, and countless soldiers followed and shouted.
"Da Song! Great Song! Great Song! β
The cheers gradually spread, and the people of the city shouted along with them.
This is the morale of the people!
Zhe Jizu instructed: "Send someone to the capital to report the victory...... The new crossbow was powerful, and the enemy fled in confusion, but the cavalry was weak and could not pursue...... The new crossbow bow in this battle has made the greatest contribution, and the minister congratulates His Majesty and congratulates the Great Song Dynasty! β
"Da Song! Great Song! Great Song! β
The cheers were suddenly excited, and the mountains roared into the sky like a tsunami.
β¦β¦
"Divine crossbow? Good name! β
Shen An's naming was passed to the front of the emperor, and Zhao Zhen said: "The Great Song Dynasty has one more weapon to defeat the enemy, this matter should be congratulated, come to the people, and reward the envoys of all countries in Beijing for a banquet......"
After the matter was done, the envoys of various countries also went back, but there were still envoys from several countries in the capital.
"Your Majesty!"
Fu Bi frowned and said, "This move is suspected of provocation!" β
This is a good news document, and the news will soon spread throughout the city, and at this time, the envoys of various countries will be feasted, which is to slap the envoys of Western Xia in the face, plus to deter the countries.
I didn't have to think about this kind of thing in the past, and Zhao Zhen definitely wouldn't do it.
But Zhao Zhen's face was slightly red at the moment, as if he had drunk too much, and said, "What are you provoking?" This is the Tangut people provoking, go, give a feast! β
He has been aggrieved for too long, whether it is the Liao State or the Western Xia, he has given him tremendous pressure, and he threatens the Great Song Dynasty if he disagrees.
I also have a temper, but the army was not strong before, so I just endured it.
Today, the Western Xia sneak attack was frustrated, and the Shenwei crossbow was in full swing in the first battle, can't I be proud?
"Give a feast, give more good food and wine!"
Fu Bi's face turned dark, but he couldn't stop the interested officials.
With this news of success, the better the wine and food, the more annoyed the Tangut people became.
Zhao Zhen obviously felt that this was not enough, and he waved his hand: "Shen An has contributed to the country,...... I sent him an official uniform, and ...... His sister...... Let someone send some children's things, and tell the queen that if she is bullied, I will not follow it. And also...... Zhe Ke Xing is in his mess, but it is a little deserted......"
As soon as Han Qi's eyes changed, he wanted to go out of class to speak.
"Isn't there going to be a lot of splashing skin over there in Xiongzhou? No, it's a township soldier, but it is difficult to control Shen An and a civilian official, so let Zhe Ke go. β
This is to let Zhi Kexing go to help Shen An train the troops, which can be regarded as a formal establishment, but no one knows how many township soldiers there are, if there are only dozens of people, what is this?
Is it possible to give the fold to the line of a compilation?
This is a bit unkind, right?
Han Qi smiled slightly and retreated.
As for the fruit...... That girl's luck is really good!
At a young age, she is the county monarch, and the official family also asked the queen to take care of her, this love is enviable, but the official family is jealous of this.
That's just Shen An's sister, how can He De let you, an emperor, ponder so many benefits for her?
Immediately, someone in the palace went to the Shen family.
"Shen waits for the edict, this is the reward of the official family......"
"Shen waits for the edict, the sage has something to say, and if there is something to do, just send a message to the palace."
Zhe Ke got the opportunity to lead the troops, and he was already happy to throw the fruit into the air.
"Yikes! Help ......"
Guoguo fell, and then was caught by Zhe Kexing, she said angrily: "Brother help! β
Shen An was in a daze, still holding his official uniform in his hand.
"Brother Anbei, this is a happy thing, right?"
Zhi Kexing understands this kind of feeling very well, and without help, Shen An, who is still underage, actually got a seven-grade official uniform, and this achievement can really go out and show off.
"Brother Anbei, celebrate, get some of that alcohol out too?"
Shen An looked at the official uniform in his hand, and said without tears: "You guys celebrate." β
Green official uniform, how do you wear this?
But the chamberlain who came to deliver things in the palace said that the official asked him to go to the court tomorrow morning.
Is this impatient for me to wear a green uniform?
Shen An wanted to pretend to be sick, but he reminded him, saying that he only pretended to be sick to avoid going to Guozijian to teach, and if he pretended to be a deceitful.
β¦β¦
The fourth watch is here, good night everyone.
