Chapter 712 Hit the Scheme, No Money
Countless rockets (this is not an explosive rocket) fell, in addition to the Yokoyama Buzi who were dreaming of making a fortune, and many fell on a cart of "silk silk", which immediately caused a fire. Silk silk is flammable, and the hay underneath the silk is even more flammable. Touching the sparks, it was suddenly a fire that rushed to the sky, illuminating the surroundings of these Hengshan Qiang, who were grabbing things, as if it were day.
The two or three thousand Hengshan Qiang exposed to the firelight suddenly became a live target for the Song army's crossbowmen who were in ambush. Arrows from the sky fell round after round in the crowd. The nobles of the Hengshan Qiang tribe who wear armor are a little better, no matter what they wear, the armor can always cover one or two. And they also have shield-wielding guards by their side, fighting to be shot into hedgehogs, but also to protect their masters. But those Hengshan Qiang who don't have armor, or even a larger shield, will be miserable.
A rain of arrows fell, and it swept down in an instant. And most of them couldn't die all at once, just rolled and howled there.
Hengshanqiang, who reacted, began to rush towards the fence breaches, hoping to escape from this dead place as soon as possible. But at this moment, Song Jun's shouting of killing rang out. The pikemen, swordsmen and shield men who were in ambush all poured up like a tide. These are all armor-clad soldiers, and they have received the words of Captain Gao, and they are ready to earn double rewards.
Although this reward is not as attractive as the house in Kaifeng Mansion to the house slaves, it is clearly a good luck tonight. How can you not take the opportunity to cut more heads? The head can also be exchanged for military merit and promotion!
The young Han Wu also put on armor, carried a straight knife, and held a shield, and appeared among the Song infantry who were rushing to kill. On that day, he cried and asked to join the forbidden army to avenge his family and friends who died, so Tao Jiefu allowed him to join the forbidden army and served as a soldier.
Although the soldiers are "down", Han Wu's martial arts are not discounted!
Han Wuzu has been from Yan'an for generations, and since the rise of the Western Thieves, Yan'an has been the capital of the frontline. Not only do the western thieves invade from time to time, but even the Qiang people on Hengshan come to grab a handful when they have nothing to do! Therefore, the Han farmers living in Yan'an have to know more or less how to do both.
In addition, the archer system implemented by the Northern Song Dynasty court along the northwest border also greatly encouraged the people to practice martial arts - if you practice martial arts, you can recruit archers, and if you recruit archers, you will have 200 to 250 acres of arable land!
The attraction of land to farmers is probably not as attractive to house slaves as real estate in Kaifeng Mansion!
Therefore, practicing martial arts and joining the army has become a channel for men in the northwest to rise. The young Han Wu is no exception, and when he was a child, he regarded martial arts as the foundation of his future life. And his figure is also taller than his peers, his strength is thick, and he is full of hatred, so he rushes to the front at the moment. It was like a tiger entering a flock, stabbing with a knife and slamming with a shield, and in the blink of an eye, he became a bloody man, and he didn't know how many Hengshan Qiang people fell under his knife.
Gao Yu, who was standing on a high place and watching the battle, also saw the brave Han Wu, "What a warrior!" You're qualified to be a warrior knight......" he turned to his attendant and said, "Go and ask who that person is, and come back to report me?" β
"Whoa."
A Gao Yu's relatives followed the call, and Gao Taiwei turned back to Tong Guan and said, "Official, is the thief who came today too weak?" β
"It's really weaker," Tong Guan shook his head, "It's far worse than Renduo's loyal soldiers and horses......
"Prison soldiers, they may be Hengshan Buzi." Liu Zhongwu has dealt with the Western Thief all his life, and he knows the Western Thief and the two younger brothers of the Western Thief, Tsongkha Tubo and Hengshan Qiang.
There will be no Tsongkha Tubo people here in Yan'an, but there are too many things for Hengshan Qiang to follow the western thieves to grab a vote.
"Isn't Hengshan all defeated by us?" Gao Yu was a little puzzled, "How can there be a Hengshan step?" β
Liu Zhongwu shook his head and said, "There are still a few castles in the Hengshan area that are in the hands of the Western Thieves, but those Foot Soldiers may not all be recruited from the land controlled by the Western Thieves. Looking at their chaotic appearance, most of them came with the thieves temporarily...... It should be the Hengshan Qiang in my court! β
"My Hengshan Qiang?" Gao Yu became a little angry when he heard this, "Why are you still helping the Western Thief?" What good have the thieves done to them? This is treason! β
Liu Zhongwu said: "The western thieves can take them to rob the Han people!" β
"Damn it!" Gao Yu gritted his teeth, "We must find out which tribe it is, and we will punish it severely when we turn around!" β
"Cure a Rausch sin...... It's not that I haven't met it in the past," Liu Zhongwu said in an inaudible voice, "The big deal is to change the big leader, and the others are threatened and never asked." β
Gao Yu was stunned, "This, this is no way?" β
Tong Guan's brows furrowed, Gao Yu stepped on the line a little! How to deal with Hengshan Bubazi, Gao Yu, a military attachΓ©, said that he didn't count...... Even, he shouldn't talk about it.
Thinking of this, Tong Guan coughed and brought the topic back: "It seems that there are a lot of Hengshan Qiang mixed in the western thieves who invaded Ansaibao and Saimen Village, and they are just bluffing!" β
Dangerous! Tong Guan actually fell for the trick!
"That's going to cut off some heads!" Gao Yu said, "Kill more, they can always stop for a few years, right?" β
Gao Yu was obviously also angered by the Hengshan Qiang who betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, and the Great Song Dynasty was really good at them as Qiang people! How can you still be ungrateful?
Tong Guan nodded: "There will be 2,000 heads tonight...... When the prisoners are questioned tomorrow and the situation is ascertained, the whole army will be gathered to chase after them! I can't let this gang of thieves survive Yokoyama! β
Liu Zhongwu shook his head and said, "Prison Army, I'm afraid I won't be able to chase after you tomorrow." β
"Can't chase? Why can't you catch up? Gao Yu asked.
Liu Zhongwu spread his hands, "I have no money......"
"No money?" Gao Yu was stunned, "How can there be no money?" β
Liu Zhongwu smiled bitterly: "10,000 brothers, before the war, they were rewarded with double shares, and at least 2,000 ...... will be beheaded in the first battle tonight It's a double portion, you have to settle the bill according to 4,000 heads, and I burned a lot of silk just now. Almost all the copper coins and silk silks carried in the army have been spent, where is the money? β
"No money......" Gao Yu didn't know what to say, he was a shareholder of the Republic Bank, a shareholder of Jiehe Commercial City, a billionaire with a net worth of millions, he originally thought that he didn't have to worry about money for the rest of his life, but now he was stumped by money, how could this be possible?
"Can you negotiate?" Gao Yu asked, "Can you make an IOU?" Does the official press the handprint? This official is a shareholder of the Republic Bank and Jiehe Commercial City! β
"I'm afraid it won't work...... Liu Zhongwu shook his head, "Gao Taiwei, the man in the northwest is simple, and he has never seen the world, and he doesn't know the Republic and Jiehe Commercial Market. They only recognize cash. β
It's really depressing! But Gao Yu can't help it, there is no Alipay or anything this year, otherwise Gao Yu will immediately brush tens of thousands of yuan for everyone.
"So, what then?" Gao Yu asked.
"I can only wait for the head to be transported to Yan'an Mansion and ask the Tao envoy for money," Liu Zhongwu said, "2,000 beheadings can be regarded as a great victory." β
Gao Yu also nodded and sighed: "Actually, the credit of this official has already earned enough, but it's a pity to let go of those steps." β
β¦β¦
"King, Song Gou's soldiers and horses did not move, and they did not catch up!"
Towards noon the next day, Chago, who was marching in the snow, heard the bad news that made him almost faint.
The trap he set up deliberately was seen through by Gao Yu again!
Moreover, he also gave away the lives of 2,000 and hundreds of Hengshan Bu Zi in vain. Hengshan Qiang's life, Brother Cha doesn't care. But the loss of the prestige of the Great White High Country is great.
These Hengshan thieves are excited to follow the Xixia thieves to rob Han'er, I thought I could rob a lot of money, but now it's good, my head has lost two thousand hundreds!
Counting the heads sent away this time, Brother Cha lost too ugly in this robbery and murder competition.
Those who have been killed and arrested here in Western Xia are afraid that they will soon be tens of thousands! Countless goods and cattle and sheep and horses were lost......
In addition, a silver state city was lost!
Just as he thought of this, an elongated "......" sounded in his ears, and a herald horse galloped away.
"Report to the king, Shizhou is in an emergency!"
What the? Shizhou is also going to be lost?
Brother Cha looked up and looked at the snowflakes falling from the white expanse.
With such a big snowfall, the Han people can even conquer the city?
What happened to these Han people? Why is it so powerful?
β¦β¦
"Warriors of the Great Song Dynasty, look, what is this?"
At this time, Wu Haogu was braving heavy snow, wearing a thick fur coat, holding a stack of house deeds in his hand, and was mobilizing against thousands of house slave warriors wearing leather robes outside the armor.
What are you afraid of when it snows?
What are you afraid of when it's cold?
For the house of Kaifeng Mansion, it is definitely a fight!
"Title deed!"
"Cut off your head and change your house!"
The warrior cheered. They were dying, and finally they saw the lovely deed again.
Wu Haogu waved his hand holding the deed and pointed to a passage not far away that was piled up with sandbags and corpses to lead to the low head of Shizhou City.
"The thief's head is there," Wu Haogu shouted, "go and cut it!" β
"Cut! Come on! Cut off your head and change your house......"
All the Western Xia generals who were defending the city and preparing to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Song army besieging the city had the same thought in their minds at this time: they had met a madman!
With such a big snowfall, the cold is cold, and those people can still fight! And the morale is still so high...... I don't know what benefits the officials of the Song Dynasty gave them? So desperate!
What happened to the Han people now? The cavalry is terrible, and the infantry is playing with their lives like this, and they are all swords and shields, aren't they afraid of hand-to-hand combat?
These cranky thieves soon lost their minds, because their heads had moved and they had become one-fifth of the deeds...... It's worth almost 600 taels, it's really expensive to the sky, and you can look at it even if you want to die!
