Chapter 895: Huge Crossbow Array
Chapter 895 Huge Crossbow Array
The sky on Quang Nam West Road is all blue, and it looks beautiful.
The sun was a little too sunny and made people feel like they were in a giant steamer.
"So-and-so is going to be cooked."
A sergeant stood on the head of the city in Xipingzhou, feeling that the helmet was like a pot, continuously absorbing heat.
The sergeant on the side wanted to take off the helmet, but as soon as his hand touched the edge, he screamed, "It's so hot!" ”
"Take it off."
A general took off his helmet first, and everyone followed suit, and for a time the city was full of relaxed voices.
Someone sat down, only to be bounced up by the hot bricks, causing a burst of laughter.
The general squatted there, looked into the distance, and muttered, "Are those people coming today?" ”
Jiaozhi's control over the border areas was somewhat stronger than that of the Great Song Dynasty, but it was also limited. In the immediate vicinity of the Great Song Dynasty, some forces did not obey discipline and often crossed the border to harass the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, there is also the tacit consent of the Jiaozhi side, otherwise the supply of ordnance will be stuck, can these people still use wooden knives and guns to fight with the Great Song army?
"Dutou, can't the people on the other side of Jiaozhi take care of them? This often comes to disturb us, so that we don't have a time to live, when will this day be a head! ”
The general squatted there and said angrily: "Say, the Jiaozhi people said that those tribes are not subject to the king's transformation and can't be controlled, if the Great Song Dynasty has the ability, they will be destroyed, and Jiaozhi guarantees to praise it." ”
"It's to cheer for the Great Song Dynasty."
"Captain!"
Song Shiyao went to the city, and the soldiers stood up straight.
Song Shiyao pressed his hand, "It's too hot this weather, don't care about the rules, how to be comfortable." ”
The so-called military discipline could not be maintained even in the hot weather.
A sergeant asked: "Lord, those Jiaozhi natives often come to disturb us, and we have no time to rest here, and the brothers are tired and want to die, and it is difficult to endure!" ”
The consequence of a thousand days of anti-thieves is that the morale of the army is weakened, and of course Song Shiyao knows this truth.
He looked into the distance, and his eyes were cold.
"They have been here for half a month, and we haven't been out of the city for half a month...... What is it? Proud enemy! ”
A general asked: "Lord, we have been closed for this period of time, just to pride the enemy?" ”
Song Shiyao nodded, "They came and went in a hurry, and they didn't dare to stay longer, so it can be seen that they can't figure out the details of our army, so this is why they have been strictly investigated for the past few days." ”
The enemy army cannot find out the details, and it is natural to be suspicious.
Under suspicion, the generals will be indecisive, and when the time comes, there will be many mistakes and omissions, and the Song army will break the enemy with one blow.
This is the confusion before the war, and Song Shiyao's art of war is not bad.
"Commander, there's movement!"
One of the sergeants put down his binoculars, pointed to the south and said, "Quite a few people." ”
Song Shiyao raised the binoculars and looked, and saw hundreds of people rushing towards him.
Most of the people in this group were men, some carrying baskets, some carrying hoes or something......
"Is it a local farmer?"
"No, it's a native."
The last time Shen An defeated the Turk coalition army in a battle here, he wiped out 20,000 elites in Jiaozhi, so far the natives have died down, and they have become obedient people, very honest, and the relationship with the Han people is much closer.
This is the general trend oppressive.
"There's someone in the back."
In the line of sight of the telescope, dust billowed in the distance, as if a group of monsters were approaching.
"It's a cochin!"
Song Shiyao put down the binoculars, turned around and shouted, "Warning!" ”
Bell Bell ......
The bell rang throughout Xiping City, the people immediately returned home, and the soldiers were assembled.
"Hurry up!"
"Assemble! Gather here and there! ”
"Array!"
If it was Bianliang, the speed of the temporary assembly would be very impressive, and the emperor would probably be worried about whether such an army would be able to block the enemy's attack.
But this is Xiping State.
The environment here is probably the worst, not to mention the poor mountains and bad waters, the surrounding natives have no loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, maybe there will be a rebellion to show you when the time comes.
There are also Cochins, they will come in droves, and if you leave the city alone, or if there are too few people, you may not be able to come back. When I see you again, you're bones.
This is Xiping Prefecture.
"Lao Tzu swore that he would never come to Xipingzhou again in this life." After a sergeant lined up, his eyes were dazzled by the sun, and he couldn't help but complain.
Another sergeant smiled and said, "Dynasty, where can you go?" ”
Wang Chao squinted at a glimmer of white clouds in the blue sky, and said longingly: "I want to go to Bianliang to be a forbidden army...... Defend the official house and the capital. ”
"The official family and the capital don't want you, hahahaha!"
Everyone laughed, but the generals did not scold.
In such hot weather, this kind of banter helps to boost morale.
"Let's go."
A group of foot soldiers, carrying long knives at their waists and Shenwei crossbows on their backs, rushed out of the barracks with the generals.
At this moment, at the head of the city, Song Shiyao looked coldly at the dust in the distance, and the people around him said: "Military master, do you want to close the city gate?" ”
The hundreds of natives had approached, and the advice was cruel, but the safest.
"Put it in."
Song Shiyao's eyes rolled and said in a low voice, "Star." ”
"Yes."
Someone went down to arrange.
Later, the natives rushed into the city, shouting, and the atmosphere was tense.
"They said it was the Jiaozhi people who came, tens of thousands."
"It is also said that Jiaozhi people will kill people when they see them, which is terrible."
Song Shiyao stood at the head of the city, looked at the chaotic natives, and said, "Tens of thousands of people...... No way. ”
"The enemy is coming."
The approaching Cochins began to slow down, and the dust dissipated, revealing their true faces.
"Lord, eight or nine thousand people."
Madan!
Song Shiyao said angrily: "We have five thousand people, what are they eight thousand people doing?" ”
The soldiers around him were all relaxed.
At this moment, the Cochin Man began to accelerate again.
"Made! I can really run! ”
It is a matter of knowledge for foot soldiers to run long distances, and if the physical strength is not well distributed, they will become lambs to the slaughter when they encounter the enemy, and they will not even be able to lift a long knife.
Cochins are approaching.
"Close the gates!"
The sergeants below began to close the city gates.
"Those natives are doing it."
Just when Song Shiyao shouted to close the door, those natives suddenly took out short knives and other weapons from their arms and suddenly attacked.
The surrounding sergeants stepped back and moved out of the way.
This passage runs from the main street in the middle of the city to the city, and if the gates are not closed, it is a flat river.
“******”
There were natives in ecstasy, and then there were people screaming.
"It's news."
"I know." Song Shiyao was watching, like watching a play.
"The Cochin Man is approaching!"
The natives below desperately rushed towards the city gate, they wanted to control the city gate, and then receive the Jiaozhi people into the city.
"Get out of the way."
Song Shiyao's order was puzzling, but it was carried out.
The sergeants who were closing the gates fled from the side, and one of them ran slower, with a deep wound cut in his back from a kitchen knife.
Those natives couldn't help but be ecstatic, and some shouted: "The Song people are cowardly, today we will wash Xipingzhou with blood!" ”
"Bloody Xipingzhou!"
During the shouting, someone looked up in confusion, "Why don't you release arrows at the head of the city?" ”
There was a distance from here to the city, and if the Song army fired arrows, half of them would have to fall.
What does this mean?
The Song people were scared to pee?
Someone turned around in the middle of the run and screamed.
"Ah......h
Just behind them, a group of Song troops was gathering.
They stood in line, and the generals shouted, "Prepare your crossbows!" ”
Outside the city, Li Yong, who led more than a dozen forces to attack Xiping Prefecture this time, pulled out his long knife, pointed to the open city gate and shouted: "Kill in!" Feel free to toss it! ”
This is the meaning of slaughtering the city.
Later, they did just that, and Yongzhou and other places were slaughtered.
"Kill it!"
"Neiying has seized the city gate, and Xipingzhou is our world."
"There are many gold and silver treasures in it, and many women!"
"Whoever grabs it first is whoever grabs it."
These forces have spared no effort in cultivating their subordinates, with the goal of bravery.
Warriors need blood and money to cultivate, so whenever there is an attack, slaughter is the best option.
The dark and thin sergeants' eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but cheer, and they were all a little faster.
They were fast enough, but they could still accelerate.
This......
Li Yong felt that his subordinates were all scuds, and he couldn't help but say with great ambition: "I can take them all the way to Bianliang City." ”
"Kill!"
He raised his long knife and cheered, his eyes full of excitement and blood.
"Kill!"
Countless soldiers raised their long swords, and the shouts made this clear sky seem to have a little more haze.
Inside the city, those Song troops were silent.
Hold the crossbow in your hand, wind it with the pedals, then load the bolts and look ahead.
Countless indifferent eyes stared at the hundreds of natives.
"It's a crossbow array!"
In that battle, Shen An used a huge crossbow array to make the Jiaozhi people frightened, and at this moment, the crossbow array appeared again, and the natives couldn't help but scatter.
"It's a crossbow array, it's a crossbow array of the Song people."
Someone screamed and ran out of the city, at this time what bullshit seized the city gate, and it was important to flee for his life.
Someone cried and shouted: "Run, the Song people have a crossbow array." ”
Others fell while running, and then they lay there with their hands raised and shouted for mercy.
For a time, there was chaos at the city gates.
The general in front drew his long knife and pointed at the city gate and shouted, "Crossbow straight shot!" ”
At such a close distance, there is no need to aim, just pull the crossbow machine directly.
Bang bang bang!
The crossbow machine was pulled, and the crossbow arrows were densely fired.
The natives writhed in frenzy, but the speed of the crossbow arrows was so fast that they fell to the ground one after another.
"Crossbow...... Put! ”
The general gave the order Mu Ran, and the crossbowman who had just been rotated pulled the crossbow machine.
"Crossbow...... Put! ”
Three rounds of crossbow arrows fell, and the city gate was littered with corpses.
One of the natives was shot in the shoulder, and he slowly crawled towards the city gate.
He climbed to the gate and stood up with difficulty.
"It's a trap......"
He wanted to warn the army outside the city that there was a crossbow array in it.
Flee quickly.
Boom!
The gates, which had been closed for the most part, were smashed open with wooden pillars from the outside, and the natives leaning against the gates flew out, slammed into the wall, and fell to the ground.
The gates were slammed open, and the cochins outside cheered.
"Kill it!"
The imposing Cochin man rushed in, like opening a dam, and the water rushed in.
"Crossbow ......"
Syllable!
Countless crossbows raised!
……
The first one is sent.
