Chapter Seventy-Three: The Battle of Hundburg (2)
If it is a battle with the Liao army, Chong Pu will be included in a book after saying this, and then it will be degraded again and again to death.
You can look down on the emperor of the enemy country, but you can't be disrespectful to the imperial power, which was very taboo in ancient times.
Today you are disrespectful to other people's emperors, tomorrow you may create your own emperor's rebellion, although I don't know how this account is calculated, but most emperors throughout the ages have calculated accounts like this.
In the eyes of the Song people, there was no emperor at all, at best it was the king of a small country, and the Song people thought so from beginning to end.
They called the Liao people the Liao people, but they called the Western Xia people the Western thieves and thieves. From this point alone, it can be seen that the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty towards the Western Xia has always been extremely contemptuous - even if they were beaten by the Western Xia people for a long time.
So if Chong Pu insulted the Empress Dowager Liang, there was no problem, if he wanted to say it, even if he scolded the Empress Dowager Liang as a prostitute, Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Gao would only applaud when they knew about it.
And these words fell on Wei Mu Duli's ears, it was different, no courtier was willing to be insulted by others. What's more, now his emperor is just seven years old, and all domestic affairs, big and small, are controlled by the Empress Dowager Liang.
If I turn a deaf ear, this matter will not necessarily end well.
Although Wei Muduli felt brave and unparalleled, he still didn't dare to do such a thing as a single siege. However, when encountering this kind of thing, there are naturally other ways, looking at the Song army who was laughing non-stop at the head of the city, Wei Mu scolded with all his might.
He greeted the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Song army, and then turned his horse's head and left. And as he was leaving, he left the body of the messenger behind.
Tang Ning couldn't listen to it, and said in his heart that this Wei Mu Duli smeared honey on his small mouth, and turned into a smelly elf with a fragrant mouth, and after scolding it, Tang Ning was furious when he listened to it.
But the soldiers didn't care about it, and they were all talking about the feasibility of what Chong Pu said just now.
Don't look at the Liang family who gave birth to a child, and now he is only in his twenties, I heard that he is still a beauty, and the brothers are blessed.
The one who said that if the Liang family really came, we would let her taste the power of our big Song boy.
Seeing that Tang Ning's face was unhappy, Chong Pu smiled and said, "It's just a scolding formation, what's there to be angry about." If you stay on the front line for a while, and you curse the thieves across the river every day, you will get used to it.
Two years ago, I was in Hongdezhai, and you know, the soldiers there have learned to curse in the Tangut dialect. ”
“……”
The closer the war gets, the more relaxed it becomes. This kind of bearing really made Tang Ning admire. Now as long as he raised his eyes and looked at the black and oppressive Western Xia army in the distance, his scalp was numb and his heartbeat intensified.
Thinking about what Pu said just now, it was also relieving the pressure on the soldiers, at least the city was silent before, but now there are slowly some voices.
In the past, Tang Ning has seen many magnificent war scenes in TV series or movies, and he watched the black and oppressive armies of the two sides collide like a tide, and then one side is gradually eaten away.
But he knew that the shots that showed a large number of people were all synthesized with special effects, and they were not real people, but dummies. Even so, it also brought a great shock to Tangning.
And now, he couldn't see the edge in front of him
The Western Xia army. The banner raised high, and the countless people, this scene made Tang Ning even more shocked.
Thinking that it was not a movie now, these people were here to kill themselves, and Tang Ning's heart was about to jump out of his throat.
There are so many people, standing still and killing themselves, and it is estimated that they will not be able to kill themselves for three days and three nights......
At a distance of about two to three thousand steps from Huanzhou City, a drum beat was heard in the distance, followed by a deafening roar, and the marching speed of the entire Western Xia army formation began to increase.
"It seems that the thieves are in a hurry, they are not going to say hello to grandpa this time......" Chong Pu muttered to himself in a low voice, and then yelled: "Get ready!" The thieves attack directly within range! ”
Immediately, the heralds parted ways, and ran quickly through the cities on both sides, and passed on the order of Chongpu.
The officer in charge of commanding the archers shouted: "One foot seven above sea level!" Preparation! ”
The sound of pulling the bowstring sounded in Tangning's ears, and the sound of drums in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the roar of the Tangut people seemed to be close at hand, right next to his ears.
But at this moment, for some reason, Tang Ning felt a silence in his ears. There was a sound in his ears, but he still had this strange feeling.
Suddenly, a heaven-shattering roar erupted again in the military formation of the Western Xia people, and hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison, which almost lifted the entire Huanzhou City.
The roar did not stop, and Xia Jun screamed and began to sprint towards Huanzhou City. The archers of the Xia army also began to shoot arrows at the head of the city, and the dense rain of arrows almost made people unable to raise their heads.
At the same time, the school official shouted hoarsely: "Release! ”
Downing, stunned, stood in place, an arrow coming straight at the door in front of him. Fortunately, Lin Wei had a half-height shield in his hand, and as soon as he raised his hand to block it, he blocked the arrow.
The arrows and shields clashed, and with a crisp sound, Tangning's world seemed to come alive all of a sudden.
The noisy and chaotic sound kept coming into his ears all the time, and Lin Wei pulled Tang Ning to hide behind the battlement wall, and shouted loudly: "My lord, don't be stunned! ”
Tang Ning's voice trembled a little: "I...... I didn't...... It's okay......"
"One foot two above sea level! Put! ”
"Seven inches above sea level! Put! ”
"Free arrows!"
As the hoarse roar of the school officer sounded again and again, swaths of the Western Xia army would fall. But the war does not stop with the fall of one or a thousand cannon fodder. The tidal Xia army still flocked to Huanzhou City, and it was getting closer and closer.
There were constantly archers who left the battlement wall to release arrows, accidentally hit the arrows, let out one scream after another, and then were carried off the wall by the soldiers guarding the side. Immediately after that, another person came to fill his place, and took his place to continue firing arrows.
The rain of arrows in the sky obscured the sun, and Tang Ning was trembling all over.
"My lord! The thieves are about to arrive in the city! A soldier ran to Chong Pu's side to report, and Chong Pu shouted: "Prepare to roll the wood and stones!" No matter what, you must hold on! ”
"Yuwei!" The little soldiers received the order and ran around the city wall with their shields, and in a short time the archers slowly withdrew, and a large number of shield soldiers, sword and axe men pushed huge rolling logs and stones on the ground.
There are also people carrying hot and foul-smelling dung water, which is also called gold juice.
It is a very valuable item in the defense of the city. Its practicability is no worse than that of rolling wood stones, and the effect is even better, and it is also more convenient to collect and transport.
The beastly roar of the Tangut people had already sounded under the city, and the ladder had been erected. The archers ran to the arrow holes inside the walls to release their arrows, and the shieldmen and axemen at the head of the city began to pour hot gold juice down the city.
The screams, the roars, the sharp sound of arrows grazing his ears, the screams of Xia soldiers who fell down when they climbed the ladder, all these sounds were like rivers that flowed into the ocean of Tang Ning's ears.
Lin Wei was very worried, because so far, Tang Ning had been sitting behind the battlement wall and swinging, and his expression had not changed much, and he couldn't tell whether he was afraid or something else.
Several times I talked to him, but he didn't pay attention. Lin Wei thought about whether to lift Tang Ning off the city for a while, it was still too dangerous for him to stay here in this state.
He could understand Tang Ning, he had never seen such a big battle. War had been a very distant word to him not long ago, and even he was a little flustered and a little overwhelmed, let alone Downing.
However, what Lin Wei didn't know was that Tang Ning's mood was not scared now, but extremely excited, so excited that he couldn't stand on his feet in battle.
He wanted to shout, he wanted to roar, he wanted to kill all these people who wanted to kill him, all of them.
The battlefield is a place where it is easy for newcomers to lose their minds, and the closer you are to the center of the battle, the easier it is to lose your minds. Only seasoned veterans know what to do and how to do it.
It was impossible to expect a guy like Downing who had fought with a gang of bandits to keep his sanity at best.
Qi Fu sat behind the battlement wall and gasped, he was terrified. Even if he told himself not to be afraid, the Tangut people would die, but there was still fear in his heart.
Especially after seeing Tang Ning like this, Qi Fu was even more scared. He didn't know that he was already in tears at this moment.
Suddenly, he saw a hand sticking out of the battlement wall beside Tang Ning, and Lin Wei was busy helping the defenders on the side to pour gold juice under the city, not paying attention.
He was in a hurry to push the man who was about to climb up, but he was horrified to find that his body could not exert any strength, his legs were weak, and his hands were the same.
He kept shouting, hoping that Tangning would pay attention, but Tangning didn't seem to hear him at all.
Just when the man came out, Tang Ning suddenly took out his hand~ crossbow from the side of his thigh, aimed it at the head of the terrified Western Xia soldier, and pulled the bracket.
Then Tang Ning continued to shoot at the Western Xia soldiers under the city, until the arrow box was empty, and then threw the two handles~ crossbow aside.
Qi Fu watched in shock as the arrows flew past Tang Ning one after another, but they couldn't hurt him in the slightest. He struggled to stand up, and saw Tang Ning leaning out of the battlement wall, roaring angrily and overturning the siege ladder of the Tanguts.
A creep with a strange posture stumbling towards Tangning with a long sword in his hand, and the moment Tangning straightened up and took a deep breath, the little soldier was about to stab his sword at Tangning.
At this moment, Tang Ning supported the battlement wall with both hands, and pressed against the black pressure in front of him, which was still boundless, and roared with all his strength: "I am Tang Ning, the superintendent of Huanqing Road in the Great Song Dynasty!" Who dares to fight me!! ”
