Volume 11 Shooting the Partridge Chapter 903 [Confusion]
Jiashun's confusion was also the confusion of Goryeo General Choi Zhuo at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that General Cui quickly came up with many possible options, and he seriously thought that the Song people came here to do things, although he himself didn't quite believe that the Great Song Dynasty would come to invade Goryeo for no reason, and he only sent more than 10,000 people, but in addition to this explanation, he really couldn't find any other answers.
As for what to say about protecting the diaspora, I am afraid that only a three-year-old child will believe this excuse: in Cui's view, the people of Goryeo are like grass mustard, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty are not grass mustard?
Soon, Jia Shun also heard the news that the three armies were ready to go out of the city to meet the Song army, and learned that the Goryeo army did not coax this time, and took the initiative to attack, Jia Shun felt that this was still an eye-opener.
But soon, some officers went up to the city, selected Jiashun and some strong people, formed them into a people's team, and gathered behind the city gate early, waiting for the general Cui Zhuo to kill the Song people in one fell swoop, so that they could go out to clean up the battlefield.
That is, when they were queuing, more than a dozen people with the same color as Jia Shun slowly gathered together, and also looked for Jia Shun, a man with a linen strip on his forehead stepped forward and pulled Jia Shun and said: "Brother Jia Shun, have you heard?" Steward Wu said that the Song army outside the city is here to save us! ”
Jia Shun nodded, but after looking at the Goryeo soldiers around him who were guarding with knives, he bowed his head and said, "Don't say anything now, our identity is still sinners, let's be careful." ”
Although it is difficult for Jia Shun to digest this news, his current actions do not allow him to have any superfluous thoughts, after all, he and his fellow villagers have just been released from the prison cell as sinners to help defend the city, and it is better not to make trouble at this time.
Of course, Jia Shun, who had resisted the Jurchens back then, also had a lot of experience in how to protect himself in battle, and soon organized his fellow villagers who were assigned to clean the battlefield to pick up the door panels, wooden planks, and baskets that not many people would choose, these things seemed to be of little use when cleaning the battlefield, but if the Goryeo army wanted to force the people to take the lead and consume the enemy's arrows, these things might be used as shields.
Mo Yo waited for half an hour, Jiashun and others gathered almost 2,000 people behind the city gate, and the soldiers of the Goryeo army were roughly finished outside the city.
However, just as the Goryeo officers were about to direct Jiashun and them to line up out of the city, they suddenly heard a loud and neat drum and trumpet coming from outside the city, followed by a dense and abrupt sound of "bangbang", and a miserable howl and scream that soon swept away like a tide.
"The Song people have attacked!"
For a time, inside and outside the main gate, people seemed to have blown up the camp and were in chaos, many people were so panicked that they threw down their rakes, ropes and other things in their hands and turned around and ran, while some rushed out in the direction of the city gate instead.
In his early years, Jiashun also escaped from the defense of the Jurchens, and was naturally stronger than everyone in terms of experience, and after being stunned, he hurriedly called the fellow villagers of the transport team to quickly retreat from the city gate, and then took advantage of the fact that the defenders guarding the people were also in a mess, and quickly picked up the arrows, stones, rolling logs and other objects placed at the foot of the city wall and ran to the city.
According to Jiashun's experience, when the army goes out of the city to fight, the city tower is the safest place, if you stay at the foot of the city gate, the army will win the battle, but if you lose the battle, the first unlucky person will be the one who stays at the city gate and blocks the retreat of the army.
And when Jiashun and the others ran to the head of the city, they were allowed to see an unforgettable scene: wave after wave of huge arrows flying out of the Song army's camp quickly turned the Goryeo army's position in front of the city into a jungle of death made of steel and flesh and blood!
The huge black arrows, like meteors flying from the sky, cut a dazzling arc in the sky, and slammed into the battle formation of the Goryeo army with an indescribably beautiful posture.
Neither the flesh and blood wrapped in leather, nor the delicate shields of wrought iron bound with wood, could stop the dazzling arc and the death and nightmare it bringed. All everyone could do was to watch the arrows of death fly far away from the Song army's battle array with a whistling roar, and then bloom one bloody flower after another in the Goryeo army's battle array.
The experienced Jia Shun, in addition to being shocked, also saw that the Song army's means of releasing crossbow arrows were very clever, only to see that the first few batches of arrows were shot at the second half of the Goryeo army formation that was almost eight or nine hundred steps away from the Song army, but the Goryeo army's formation was in chaos, and the soldiers began to panic and prepare to turn around and flee back to the city.
After seeing the heavily armored soldiers holding the Goryeo shield and the archers wearing only light leather armor all over their bodies were pierced and nailed to the ground one by one by thick crossbow arrows like paper dolls, the Goryeo army suddenly couldn't hold on anymore, completely collapsed in an instant, and began to turn around and flee backwards in a panic.
The arrows that shot the farthest even crossed the moat, which was almost a thousand steps away from the Song army, and hit directly in front of the main gate behind the moat.
But when the dust settled, all the Goryeo soldiers who were able to escape back entered the main gate, and in a panic, they moved the earth and stones next to the gate to completely seal the gate, and they also saw the battlefield under the city: this battlefield can no longer be called a battlefield, it is simply a bloody and terrifying hell!
Spanning a distance of hundreds of paces, huge crossbow arrows burst through the air like a rainbow, nailed to the ground at an angle of less than forty-five degrees, and on many of them, there were indescribable flesh and blood attachments. These indescribable flesh attachments did not die immediately, they still felt pain, they were still howling, and they were still trying to get rid of these murder weapons made of steel...... The earth-shattering wail is equally indescribable.
Jia Shun suddenly, feeling that his liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach, let out a tremor for no reason, it was Jia Shun, who had fought against the Jurchens in Pyongyang City and had killed several Jurchens with his own hands, and his heart defense was broken at this moment, and he opened his mouth and vomited.
"Assi! Song people...... Too...... It's so ruthless! Looking at the Song army's formation under the city, Jia Shun felt infinitely shocked, but a more crazy thought for no reason was irrepressible and grew from the bottom of his heart, and he asked secretly in his heart in confusion: "But...... Could it be that these Song people are really here to save us? ”
