Chapter 402: Rewarding the Mouth
It is the first fortress set up in the Wuyan Gorge in the Western Xia, backed by the Hulu River, which not only jams the land route of the Wuyan Gorge, but also can use the stone throwing truck on the head of the city to hit the boats on the river.
When the army of the Western Xia Three Roads invaded, the guard of the Reward Pass did not hide Lang Be, and led the troops to follow Brother Cha to the south, as long as the army hit a few state capitals in the south, the Reward Pass would become a hinterland, and naturally there was no need to guard the pass. The Central Plains was in turmoil, and no soldiers and horses would attack the Reward Shift.
The Chage army was crushed all the way, although it lost many people, but it also knocked down all the fortresses that had contained the Western Xia soldiers and horses in the past.
Look at the fact that the Zhenrong army was about to be defeated, but the soldiers and horses of Daliang suddenly killed, and even killed Cha Ge with a thunderbolt-like weapon, and the army was defeated.
did not hide the waves, did not escape, and fled to the Huaide army with many defeated soldiers, waiting for the instructions of the lord Li Qianshun. It's just that I didn't expect that a few days later, I learned that Li Qianshun's army was also defeated, and the lord Li Qianshun was beheaded, and his head was hung outside the gate of the Daliang military camp.
Several generals felt that the general trend of Western Xia had gone, so they abandoned the Huaide army and retreated to the defensive ground to prevent the Great Liang from taking advantage of the situation to attack.
There were originally 5,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Wu Zang Langbei, but when he retreated, there were only 2,000 left. He didn't want to face the thunderbolt weapon, so he had no choice but to do his duty, and the last bit of blood made him stay at the station.
If he didn't hide the waves, he would rectify the city defense after he reached the reward pass, but he had no bottom in his heart. If it was before, with the pass of rewarding the transfer, no matter how many Han people came, he could resist for a few days. But when he thought of the thunderclap sound, he felt that it was all in vain.
If you don't hide the waves, don't stand on the city wall and look south, hoping that the wind and waves will be as calm as the previous days.
One of the soldiers on the ramparts suddenly shouted: "Boat." ”
Don't hide the waves, don't hurry to shift your eyes from the road to the Hulu River, and more than a dozen big boats went down the river.
"Command all men to go up to the walls."
didn't hide the waves, didn't think much about it, and directly ordered that the fleet that appeared at this time could only be troop carriers.
"Woo woo"
A soldier next to him hurriedly blew the horn, and the majestic trumpet instantly spread all over the mouth, and one by one the soldiers ran to the city wall in a panic.
The fleet docked inside and out. Groups of black-clad and black-armored soldiers quickly went ashore and formed a phalanx.
First, a five-clawed golden dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and from a distance, it seemed that the man holding the flag was half a body taller than everyone else.
"It's the god who blew up King Jin."
"Tenjin"
When the soldiers on the city wall saw Chao Yong's banner, they immediately whispered.
He didn't feel that his legs were a little weak, so he picked up a shield from the side and shouted, "Don't panic, use the shield to block the firearm outside." ”
After the generals who had dispersed that day retreated to the Huaide army, they discussed it and felt that it was not a divine thunder, but a new firearm invented by the Han people. They also knew that it was the iron ball that exploded and killed people. As long as the iron ball is bounced away, there is no need to be afraid of the firearm.
Although the party members on the city wall were frightened, they still raised their shields without hiding the waves, preparing to intercept the thunderbolt-like firearms that the generals said.
Chao Yong stood at the front, Han Shizhong, Sun Li, Liu Qi, and Yao Pingzhong were surrounded by four people, and behind were five thousand Liangshan veterans.
The ships captured by the Zhenjung army were of different sizes, small boats could not carry many people, and they would make the fleet bloated and slow down the fleet. Therefore, Chao Yong only chose thirteen large ships. ordered 5,000 Liangshan veterans to prepare for a surprise attack on Xingqing Mansion, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses will be led by Lu Junyi, and then come to seize the reward pass, so as not to pass after the fleet. The Tangut people came to occupy it again, and also cleared the way for the army behind.
"Forward."
Chao Yong gave the order, and the army marched forward with neat steps.
didn't hide the waves, don't look at the army that the black pressure pressed up, and he was a little timid in his heart. Shouted, "Shoot the arrows." ”
The soldiers in front put down their shields, and the archers in the back hurriedly stepped forward to release their arrows.
Locust-like arrows rained down, but they all landed on the ground in front of the Great Liang's soldiers and horses.
A sharp arrow was plunged into the ground. There was almost no place to stand, and the white arrow feathers trembled, as if to warn the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang not to go any further. But the officers and men of the two armies knew that it was too early.
If you don't hide the waves, you don't have to defend the city for many years, so you naturally know where the archers on the city wall can shoot, and you don't need archers to measure the distance at all. It's just that this time I'm nervous, and I can't help blushing a little if I don't hide the waves.
"Stop"
There were still a few feet away from the underground arrow forest, and Chao Yong waved his hand to stop the army.
"The team player comes forward."
When Li Kui heard Chao Yong's order, he immediately raised the axe in his hand and shouted, "Kill." ”
A thousand regiments of players ignored the archers on the walls and went forward.
Seeing this, he hurriedly shouted: "Release the arrow." ”
Sharp arrows are constantly sprinkled on the city wall, but they are mostly blocked by the group cards, and it is difficult to cause any damage to the team players.
"Boom"
A loud bang sounded in the city, and he didn't hide the waves, but he felt a sharp pain in his eardrums, and his body shook a few times before he stood firm.
The center of the city wall was blown down, and several people were blown to a bloody pulp, and dozens of people were injured.
He didn't hide the waves and didn't look at it, but he saw a person being blown apart with his own eyes that day, and there was always a shadow in his heart, so he didn't dare to stand in the middle, and deliberately stood on the side, just for fear that the Han people would blow up the middle.
I was just focusing on shooting the team players with arrows, and I forgot to defend against fire and thunder. However, if you use a shield to defend against fire and thunder, the archers behind you will not be able to release arrows. There is no doubt that this is a dilemma.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
A loud bang was followed by several dense explosions, and the city head was suddenly covered with screams and screams.
The Tangut people's will to fight was immediately shattered, and no one dared to face this thunderbolt of firearms at the head of the city.
Everyone rushed to the bottom of the city, and some people who were far away from the road even jumped directly from the top of the city, and the screams of breaking their legs under the wall continued.
He didn't hide the waves, and he saw that the soldiers under his command were completely chaotic, and he knew that he couldn't let them stay in the city, so he turned around and went down to the pass through the Yongdao.
Chao Yong saw that the soldiers at the head of the city were already in chaos, so he lit a fire thunder, ran a few steps, and threw it out.
The fire thunder drew a high parabola and fell into the pass with a loud bang.
Chao Yong turned his head to Han Shizhong, who was throwing fire thunder behind him, and said, "Don't throw fire thunder, kill it." ”
All four of them have incredible arm strength, and they can follow the team players and throw fire and thunder onto the wall. I just threw one, and when I saw the huge explosion power at the head of the city, I was about to throw a few more, feeling the thrill of killing the enemy with fire and thunder, but I didn't expect the prince to stop.
However, the four of them looked at the empty city, and knew that it would be a waste to throw it down, so they had to collect the fire fold and fire thunder.
Most of the people jumped straight from the city, and they only thought about escaping the thunderbolt weapon, and they didn't dare to stay in the city for long.
If you don't hide the waves, don't flee under the city wall, just stopped, wanting to see if you can hold on to the city, and a loud bang sounded next to it.
A few soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the city were also blown to the ground.
"Go"
Don't dare to stay longer if you don't hide the waves, you are unwilling to look at the closed door, and flee back with the remnants of the defeated army.
As the first pass on the Hulu River, the city gate is very thick.
Li Kui even split a few axes, but he didn't open the city gate.
Jiao Ting saw that the soldiers behind him had already carried the crashing wood up, and hurriedly pulled Li Kui away.
"Knock"
More than a dozen people hugged the bumper wood and slammed into the city gate with a loud noise, and the door closed and trembled a few times, but it did not crash open.
The space of the fleet is limited, and it is impossible to transport large siege equipment, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang mainly rely on gunpowder to break the city, but the gunpowder is only a few thousand catties, so they also brought some simple siege equipment.
The bumper wood did not open the city gate, but the dozen or so people who carried the bumper wood rebounded back a few steps, and one of them even stumbled under his feet and sat on the ground.
If it had been a crash, it wouldn't have happened.
"It's useless."
Li Kui scolded and said to Jiao Ting, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon on the side: "Let's come." ”
The soldier who carried the slamming wood saw the leader come up and hurriedly gave up his position.
Chao Yong and the others had also rushed to the city wall, and when they saw the actions of Li Kui and the others, they also joked: "A few of us are here too." ”
Han Shizhong, Sun Li, Yao Pingzhong, and Liu Qi saw that the prince was all going up, so they also picked up the wood.
Chao Yong shouted: "I'll count one, two, three, and everyone will hit it together." ”
"Good"
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
Nine fierce men rushed forward together with the bumper wood.
"Knock"
"Bang"
There was a dull thud, and then the gates were slammed open and bounced to both sides.
The shield-bearers on either side hurriedly blocked the doorway to prevent archers from shooting arrows inside.
Although the nine people were not knocked back, their arms were numb.
Li Kui didn't say a word, threw the bumper wood, pulled out two board axes, squeezed away the shield hand, and killed inside.
Chao Yong and the others also threw away the crash wood and rushed inside.
Li Kui has been killed covered in blood, catching up with a Western Xia man who limps forward, he is cut down with an axe, even if the person in front of him has knelt down, he is also cut down with an axe, as long as the person who blocks his way, there is no survivor.
Chao Yong was only a few steps behind Li Kui, and Li Kui had already cut a bloody path and chased after him at the north gate of Xiangyikou.
There were no longer any Tangut people standing in the city, and all the people who couldn't run knelt on the ground, and none of them resisted.
Chao Yong was afraid that Li Kui would lose, so he also followed Li Kui to the north gate, and he could also see the Western Xia people fleeing on the main road in front, but it was not easy to catch up.
"Iron Bull, don't chase it."
Li Kui heard Chao Yong's shout, so he stopped stupidly, shook his head and said, "Let those bald thieves escape." ”
After Li Yuanhao established the country, he ordered the party to be bald, and the deadline was three days, and those who were not bald were beheaded.
After laying down the reward transfer, Chao Yong did not stop, but left a hundred soldiers to guard the reward transfer. When the routed soldiers at the reward gate fled, they didn't have time to ride their horses, but Guanzhong left more than 1,000 war horses, and there was a lot of grain and grass.
The fleet passed the reward pass, and the army boarded again and came to the village.
The village was also built in the Wuyan Gorge, guarding the water and land roads. (To be continued......)
