Chapter 650: The House Slave is Fierce
How can you surrender!
How can you Tibetan traitors surrender!
You have surrendered, where are you Grandpa Wu Song going to cut off his head and earn a house?
Commander Wu Songwu, who walked on the mountain road with 500 house slaves in heavy armor to death, made that one angry!
Wu Erlang, who had walked dozens of miles at night, was expecting to earn a few Tubo heads and get together enough for a house as soon as possible, but when he heard that the Tubo thieves in Ba He Jincheng had surrendered, he was so angry that his nose was crooked.
The house that he saw was about to arrive was gone, and in the last imperial martial arts, he didn't even enter the top 200! So I didn't get a property, I didn't even have a "mortgaged" house.
However, he still moved from Yunzhou to Kaifeng Mansion with his wife and children, and became a "Bianpiao", although he did not have his own house, but the front division of the palace still gave him a pretty good job - the commander of the first commander of the dragon warrior, there are 500 house slaves and fierce men under his hands, and there are more than 400 official salaries plus job money plus various subsidies and rewards that can be obtained in a year! It's more than double what he got when he was in Yunzhou.
But there are more places to spend money in Bianliang City! His wife, Ximen Yulan, is a loser who can spend money, and she was pregnant with her second child not long ago...... The cost will be even greater in the future! It is even more difficult to buy a house in Kaifeng Province. Therefore, obtaining real estate through military exploits is Wu Erlang's greatest hope.
But these unseeded feudal lords surrendered! Can Wu Erlang not be angry?
Angry is angry, what can you do if people want to surrender? You can't help but surrender, right? The Great Song Dynasty is convinced by virtue, and it can't be unreasonable.
However, the reasonable Wu Song still has a trace of illusion, what if the Tubo people change their minds? So he still ordered his subordinates to be ready to fight at any time. Because the mountain road is narrow, the team can't be placed, so Wu Erlang can only let his command put on a long and narrow formation.
The one at the front of the line was armed with a spear to protect the enemy cavalry from charging into battle, and also wore a visor to protect against the enemy's arrows. The four in the back are carrying shields and bows and arrows, ready to shoot arrows at any time.
And Wu Song himself held a shield and a long sword in one hand, walking at the forefront of the team. He was also accompanied by a vassal general who was attached to the Song Dynasty, named Bao Longxiang, who was a member of Yu Longke, the leader of the Qingtang Domain who returned to the Song Dynasty during the Xining period. Because Yu Longke admired Bao Qingtian, he asked for the surname Bao in the surrender of the Song Dynasty, so the people of the family followed the surname Bao.
This Bao Longxiang was able to speak Tibetan, party and Chinese, so he became a messenger with the army, he was wearing a leather armor that was not very reliable, and he did not hold a shield, swaggering beside Wu Song, completely unaware that he was walking towards the trap!
At this time, on the walls of the city of Bajin, Doropa's three sons were looking out. Seeing that the Song soldiers came along the mountain road in two ways, they knew that those dumb Song people had been tricked.
However, these Song troops don't seem to be quite right, as if everyone is wearing very heavy iron armor. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the morning glow from the east shone on the leaves of the shiny step armor, shining with a dazzling cold light.
The Song army on the Xihe Road was a mixture of Fan and Han, and it was mainly cavalry, and heavy infantry was rare. With 2,000 hoplites at once like this, how can it not be shocking?
"Big brother, these people can't be the forbidden army from Kaifeng Mansion, right?" The monk Duo Ma Ling guessed the opponent's origin at once.
The third Amon said: "Second brother, they don't look very weak." ”
"It's just pretty!" Ah Lingjie smiled, "Duo Ma Ling and Amon, you each lead 2,000 men to line up at the south gate and the west gate, and when ten thousand arrows are fired on the city wall, you will kill them together!" ”
"Okay, that's it!"
……
"Commander Wu, it doesn't seem to be quite right!"
When Bao Longxiang followed Wu Song to the slightly open platform outside the south gate of Bajin City, he had already found that something was wrong.
Because although the city gate was wide open, there was no Tibetan thief who came out to beg for surrender, and he didn't even see a human figure.
This is clearly a fraud!
"Don't panic!" Wu Song smiled, he wished that the feudal people in Bajin City would fight, "Brothers, line up and prepare for battle!" ”
"Prepare for war! Wansheng! ”
A group of houseless macho men also roared, and then began to spread out in the capital, the front was the spear capital commanded by Wu Song himself, and the four in the back were all armed with swords and shields.
Of course, these dragon men are all elites with spears, swords and shields, and bows and arrows. While the warriors who carried the spears up the mountain did not carry shields, the warriors with bows and arrows did not carry spears. But they can still engage in long-range and melee combat at the same time, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary Song troops.
Although the combat strength of the forbidden army in Kaifeng and Hebei is far less than that of the Western Army, that is the average strength, which does not mean that these two systems are not elite. Moreover, the soldiers of the Western Army were not excluded when the imperial army was in military practice. So these 4,000 house slave macho men are actually the elite selected from hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops! It is not at all the weak chicken imagined by the young masters of the three Tibetan tribes.
"Archery! Shoot arrows! Seeing the Song army arrayed under the city, Ah Lingjie hurriedly ordered the archers who were lying in ambush on the city wall to shoot arrows.
At this time, there were about 7,000 warriors in Bajin City, 2,000 men each led by Duo Maling and Amun to prepare for battle, and 3,000 men were placed on the city wall to prepare for arrows.
Because the Song army was divided into two roads, the west and the south, so Alingjie arranged 1,300 archers on the west and south walls of Bajin City, and 200 archers on the east and north walls.
The Tibetan archers who received the order immediately began to shoot arrows, not in a volley, but casually throwing arrows, and the sound of the bowstring was almost one.
When the bowstring sounded and countless sharp arrows fell from the sky, Wu Song, who had not been on the real battlefield, suddenly felt a tightening of his heart, and he had no claim for a while except for raising his shield to cover his head.
However, Bao Longxiang, the feudal man who followed him, reacted quickly, and suddenly hid behind the tall Wu Song, and shouted: "Commander Wu, quickly call the archers to fight back!" ”
When he shouted, the rain of arrows had already fallen on many fierce men, including Wu Song, and the clanging metal collided into a loud sound. However, there were not a few macho men who were injured by bows and arrows, and the dozens of pounds of foot armor on their bodies were not paper paste!
"The first one is to raise a gun, half squat! The rest of each fired ten rounds in a salvo! Target, above the city walls! ”
Wu Song also reacted at this time and began to order his subordinates to fight back. As soon as the fierce man under Wu Song counterattacked, Ah Lingjie, who was hiding behind the battlements of the city wall, immediately found out that something was wrong.
The arrows of these Song soldiers shot fast and accurately! They did not shoot random arrows like the Tibetans, but in a volley, round after round.
Moreover, their arrows were shot very accurately, almost all of them flew to the battlements, and after a few volleys, the southern city wall where Alingjie was located was already full of dead and wounded, screams one after another, and the firepower was completely suppressed.
The 1,300 archers standing on the city walls were actually suppressed by 400 archers below the city walls!
What's going on? Ah Lingjie fell into a panic for a while, and actually forgot that he still had two stupid brothers who were about to fight!
Just as he was panicking, both the priest and Amun were already on their horses, and when they heard the sound of a bowstring, they each led their men out of the city gate without much thought. He personally rushed out of the south gate, and Amun rushed out of the west gate. They are all good at fighting, so they all take the lead and rush forward.
At this time, Wu Song had already put away his sword and shield, took out his bow and arrows, and just as he wanted to join in the shooting of the city wall, he saw a large group of cavalry pouring out from the narrow south gate of Bajin City.
"Second capital, shoot the cavalry in front quickly!" Wu Song hurriedly ordered, and then he opened his bow and aimed at the mount of the Duo Ma Ling.
This guy's dress is too blinking, he is wearing a robe, and the robe reveals a green and Tang Qizi armor with a cold light, and it looks like an arrow! So Wu Song is not the only one who is aiming at the war horse under his crotch. In just a blink of an eye, the war horse of the Duo Ma Ling was hit by five or six sharp arrows. However, the war horse under the crotch of this unruly Tubo monk is a dragon stallion from Qinghai, tall and strong, and it did not fall immediately after receiving a few arrows, but continued to bear the pain and impact, but the speed was slower.
"Steady!"
"Don't panic!"
"The one who retreats is slashed!"
Seeing dozens of horsemen pouring out of the city gate, those fierce men who were half-crouching and holding spears were a little panicked. However, the head of the first capital, the deputy head and the chief of the first capital of Wu Song's department, who were responsible for resisting the cavalry with spears, were all fierce men from the Western Army, and they shouted loudly at this time to stabilize the mood of the soldiers.
The collision happened quickly, but not violently. It was only a few dozen steps from the gate of Ba Jin City to the place where Wu Song's subordinates were in formation, and the war horses had not yet fully rushed up, so the impact was limited, and it was not enough to break through the spears in the hands of the fierce men.
And then the hand-to-hand combat began! The skills of these Tubo people in fighting were really not very good, and after the cavalry rushed into battle, they did not retreat as a whole team, but started hand-to-hand combat with the Song army. And behind them, the foot soldiers of the Tibetans also poured out like a tide.
Seeing this scene, the fierce men who were originally a little demoralized suddenly became energetic.
There are so many heads, they can all be changed houses!
And they don't look great at all, because most of them only have leather armor, not full armor, often only half armor. In addition, they are not holding armor-breaking blunt weapons, but are using ordinary swords, which are not at all the opponents of the fierce men in full iron armor.
Wu Song also became excited, and shouted: "Kill the thief!" Cut off your head! It's time to grab a house! ”
"Cut off your head! Grab a house......"
As the shouts sounded, the fierce men under Wu Song stopped shooting arrows, but squeezed forward with swords, shields and spears.
The bloody battle is starting under the city of Bajin!
