Chapter 104: General Wang is cold-blooded and ruthless
First, the prince and several permanent attendants were placed in a large hall, and Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong were put together, and the latter couldn't help but glared at the former.
Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong have always been at odds, and in the face of Empress Dowager Dong's cold eyes, naturally they won't give her any good looks, but Liu Wei and Liu Xie have a good relationship, and they don't know the intrigue of adults at all, but they still get along peacefully.
Chen Xi and Guo Jia didn't have time to care about the bad things between the queen and the queen mother at this time, since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good, even if they were the highest-status women in the world, as long as they didn't fight.
The arsenal has been successfully contained, and the delivery of weapons and armor to the palace has begun. The armor rate of the Han army is extremely high, but the vast majority of them are pierced armor and bundled armor, even if it is a forbidden army, it does not achieve a single iron armor per person.
First, it is too expensive, and the production of iron armor not only requires fine iron, but also requires many skilled craftsmen to spend a long time. Second, there is no need for that.
Most of the forbidden troops are infantry troops, and most of the time, they are patrolling and guarding, and what is needed at this time is lightweight, not to add dozens of catties of weight to the defense.
But then, they are likely to have to hold on to the city, and with an iron armor, the chances of survival will be much higher.
After the first batch of iron armor and arrows were delivered, Guo Jia immediately received the news. When he rushed over, he found that many of the soldiers who had arrived carrying weapons were wounded, and there were several arrows stuck in the cart.
"Long History!"
Guo Jia asked at this time: "No courtesy, how many dead and injured did you come over?" ”
"Only seven people were wounded, all of them were shot by the thieves' dark arrows!" The commander who led the troops said hatefully: "I don't know where the soldiers and horses came from, I don't dare to fight us, I will only shoot cold arrows in the corner!" ”
Guo Jia frowned slightly, Chen Xi suppressed the hundreds of officials and scholars in the city at this time to prevent them from manipulating the celestial phenomena, and it took a lot of mental energy, so he could only maintain the situation at this time, seeing that the soldiers were all wearing the iron armor in the arsenal, he said to Natun Chang: "You go and send the armor down first." ”
There is a long distance from the palace to the arsenal, first through the water and li, Buguangli, and then through the Yong'an Palace to arrive, almost across half of Luoyi City, such a long distance, there are too many uncontrollable factors, now those people can not act openly, the scribes can not manipulate the celestial phenomena, and they can only give some secret hands, if these soldiers do not go fast, maybe they will be annihilated on the streets.
"General Wang, it's up to you to do the next thing."
Although Guo Jia came in a hurry, the generals in the northern region needed to suppress the place, and they also needed to suppress the Yellow Turban and make a forced landing on the Yellow Turban, so Zhao Yun and the others did not come, but Yang Yi still made preparations early, first sent Liu Bei into the court early, and then forced Wang Yue through Shi A.
Wang Yue has no foundation in the court, and Liu Hong doesn't need him much, because he has fully grasped the situation in the court, and no one can threaten his safety after Zhao Zhong's death, so Wang Yue's life is not easy.
Wang Yue also wanted to go further, he didn't want to be just a secret guard, so Yang Yi's promise, he also accepted it, and in the court, he also had some of his own relationships and strength, so Chen Xi and Guo Jia were so easy to enter the palace, of course, there were Liu Hong's violent death, and the reason why the ten permanent servants were at a loss, Wang Yue's secret communication inside and outside was also one of them.
"The last general obeys!"
Leading the troops to fight, Wang Yue is naturally extremely willing, for this day, he has waited for a long time, although he does not have the ability to run the battle formation, but he has the martial arts of ten thousand people who are not brave, so, can not be handsome, but for a general, there is still no problem.
"Click", the heavy palace gate was opened, Wang Yue took the lead at this time, and came out first, behind him by another tun chief with a hundred guards cavalry, escorting ten carts to follow.
Because of the casting of armor, the imperial court is very strictly controlled, especially in the capital, that is, the scholars, at this time there are only some swords, but there are still a small number of important war weapons such as armor, bows, crossbows, etc., so even if there are dead soldiers, it is not enough to worry.
Just like the Yuan family, the fourth and third dukes, there are hundreds of dead soldiers in the family, but only relying on swords and soldiers, facing well-equipped soldiers, it almost has little effect, and the Yuan family is slaughtered.
The outer city of the capital was already on fire at this time, I don't know how many people were taking advantage of the fire to rob, Wang Yue couldn't care so much at this time, he rode a war horse in front of him in small steps, suddenly opened his bow, and shot an arrow at the darkness.
In the darkness, a person lying on the wall screamed, and fell down with the bow and arrow in his hand, even in a completely lightless environment, Wang Yue's strength could see the enemy's position, not to mention that there was still some moonlight and firelight.
He rode a horse and galloped back and forth on the street, from time to time bent the bow and shoot arrows, shooting the enemies in the dark one by one, the strong bow in his hand was a fine product rewarded by the Han Emperor back then, with the strength of ten stones, although the rate of fire was slow, but it had a better lethality than a strong crossbow. Every time the bowstring vibrates, a scream must sound from the darkness.
Escorting the convoy to the vicinity of Yong'an Palace, the footsteps on the street sounded sharply, as if it was a summer rainstorm, and in the midst of the blazing firelight, three or four hundred mixed infantry and cavalry troops met them unexpectedly, looking at the direction they were heading, they were also going to the arsenal.
In the firelight, one of the generals shouted on horseback, "Who are you?" ”
Wang Yue waved his hand to stop his soldiers and horses at this time, and said loudly: "Tiger General Wang Yue is here, who are you?" ”
The general turned to the people around him and asked, "Childe, what should I do?" ”
The man beside him glanced at the opposite side by the light of the fire, and felt that his own advantage was great, so he said decisively: "Wang Yue, I haven't heard of it, see that they are also going to the arsenal, disperse them!" ”
The general nodded at this time, and did not answer Wang Yue's question, raised his arm, and ordered loudly: "Crossbowmen come forward!" ”
Seeing the measures on the other side, Wang Yue naturally saw that something was wrong, and immediately ordered at this time: "Attack!" ”
He supervised the elite of the Han army in the northern regions, all of whom were the elite of a hundred battles killed from the grassland, and they had already tensed their nerves, so they had already taken off their bows and arrows, and immediately bent their bows to shoot at the opposite side after giving the order.
The arrows broke through the air, staggered, and immediately several people fell to the ground, but Wang Yue's armor was better, and the archery skills were better, although there were more people on the opposite side, when shooting, from the exchange ratio, Wang Yue's side was more advantageous, even if their side was shot, there was armor to protect themselves, but they were only injured, and most of the crossbowmen on the opposite side only had leather armor, and they immediately lost their combat effectiveness and fell to the ground.
Wang Yue also bent his bow and shot at the opponent's general at this time, but the man found the clue, dismounted in advance and dodged, and the powerful arrow grazed the enemy general's side, shooting through an infantry holding a torch behind him.
The general heard the screams around him, and when he looked back, he saw that the arrow had shot through one of his soldiers, and his body immediately became hot, and he hid among the soldiers, and ordered loudly: "Throw away the torches, and the infantry charge!" ”
He brought a raised subordinate private soldiers, all fed with money and food, all of them were dead soldiers whose families were guarded, even if the crossbowmen in the front row were shot and killed a dozen people, the brigade did not waver, and was still shooting at the enemy on the opposite side, after hearing the order of the main general, the crossbowmen got out of the way, and the soldiers behind shouted loudly together, and launched a surprise attack on the opposite side.
Seeing that the soldiers on the opposite side began to charge, Wang Yue opened his bow at this time and ordered: "Spread out to both sides!" ”
The war cavalry under his jurisdiction immediately abandoned the cart and dispersed, these people, fighting with the Donghu people in the northern region, can win more and less, naturally have the ability to far outperform the Donghu people, this is the best at galloping troops in the Han Empire, after a long period of hard training, even better than those Hu people in the north are better at archery on horseback, the war horses gallop back and forth in the streets, arrows fly out like locusts, and shoot down the enemies who have disbanded the formation one by one.
The soldiers with shields are okay, as long as they are not hit by Wang Yue continuously, the arrows of other war horses can still be blocked with shields, and there are more than a dozen shields in the hands of many soldiers, which look like a hedgehog, and those pikemen have been shot a lot, and their bodies lie down all the way.
Yang Xiu saw the casualties on both sides in the back at this time, compared them, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, he was also young and smart, and persuaded Yuan Shu, seeing this opportunity, he instigated Yuan Shu to take people to seize the arsenal, I thought that the action was fast enough, but I didn't expect that there were people who had the same idea as him.
He is a small child, young, it is easy to dodge, but Yuan Shu is not easy, he is the leader, and the general of the family also listens to him, watching his own infantry although the enemy cavalry is scattered, but the enemy is scattered but not broken, while retreating and firing back, his own casualties are very large, so entangled, if it is a long time, the victory or defeat is still unknown.
Yuan Shu is also wise, after all, he is a son of a family, and after looking at the situation at this time, he said: "Don't entangle with them, let's go and seize the arsenal as soon as possible!" ”
As soon as he gave the order, the rest of the people naturally obeyed the order, and the lord general no longer hesitated, shouting loudly, while letting the infantry pursue straight and occupy the center of the road, while relying on more troops, ordering the infantry to stay entangled, he and Yuan Shu quickly ran towards the direction of the arsenal with the cavalry.
Seeing that the other party had changed his tactics, Wang Yue was not in a hurry, there were already his own soldiers and horses guarding the arsenal, how could it be that one or two hundred miscellaneous cavalry could be defeated? I don't know where these enemies came from, and I don't know what the way is, but as long as they are enemies, let's kill them!
He shouted loudly, commanded the cavalry to surround the infantry regiments of the enemy left in place, and constantly attacked and harassed in the size of the squad, and he continued to shoot the enemy without a shield or with a flaw, he was incomparably powerful, and he could see at night, and the accuracy and power of the bow and arrow were exerted ten out of ten, and every time the bow was fired, a person on the opposite side would fall.
At first, the broken infantry lined up the crossbowmen outside to shoot at him, but after being shot and killed dozens of people, even if they were dead, they could not stand the casualties, so they had to let the crossbowmen withdraw inside and push the infantry soldiers up.
At this time, Wang Yue rode longitudinally, swept across from the front of the formation, and the generals in the infantry array immediately ordered, and the crossbowmen fired a volley, and the arrows and crossbow arrows flew whistling past Wang Yue's ears, and suddenly, Wang Yue's body shook suddenly, but he was hit by a crossbow arrow, and the strong force broke through the armor on his body and pierced into the muscles.
He immediately controlled the war horse and moved away a little, and then opened his bow to shoot at the enemies gathered together, separated by a distance of more than ten zhang, the accuracy of the strong bow in his hand is still the same, but the power has decreased a lot, after all, with the distance lengthened, the power of the arrow is also shrinking sharply, if it is farther away, even if the strong bow in his hand, the power is about the same as those hunting bows.
But fortunately, at this time, Wang Yue's arrow directly sank into a shield, making a dull sound, and the soldier holding the shield leaned back, as if he had been hit by a hammer, and there were several cracks in the shield in his hand.
The soldier was terrified, the arrow shot again, the shield in his hand burst, sawdust flew sideways, pierced into the comrades on the side, many people immediately screamed, Wang Yue raised his bow again, his fingers loosened, the arrow crossed a distance of sixty steps, and shot the enemy one by one.
The enclosed infantry formation was tightly organized, and it took three or four arrows to kill an enemy in a row, so Wang Yue immediately changed the way of shooting, no longer shooting directly, but throwing arrows into the infantry battle array.
It doesn't matter if you can't see the enemy, a few more arrows will always hit you, anyway, he has nothing to fear, sixty paces away, ordinary bows and arrows don't have too many accurate heads, and even if they can shoot at this distance, the power is not enough to penetrate the armor on his body.
The only thing that can pose a threat to him is a strong crossbow of more than five stones, but these thieves have insufficient armor, and strong crossbows are not only rare, but how can the rate of fire be compared to a bow and arrow? He kept moving, and one person suppressed the dozens of shooters inside.
His cavalry was also replaced with light arrows at this time, and kept throwing at the enemy line from a distance, and the enemy's infantry battle formation continued to hear the sound of screams, and the enemy generals kept ordering the crossbowmen to shoot round volleys, but they could not pose too much threat to the enemy who was galloping back and forth and wearing armor.
When Wang Yue shot a bag of arrows again, and then took out another bag, the infantry battle formation that had been shot and wounded more than 100 people finally collapsed.
I don't know who started first, suddenly someone howled and left the array, running into the darkness, Wang Yue immediately ordered loudly, let those who fled leave, this time, there are even more people who escaped, even if the general tried his best to stop it, it couldn't stop the fleeing crowd.
In the end, only more than 20 soldiers remained in place, Wang Yue stepped forward, looked at it and shouted: "Surrender, I can spare you from death!"
The besieged enemy general's face was distorted, and he laughed wildly, he pulled out the arrow on his body, blood splattered, and roared: "A certain family will only die in battle, and will not surrender!" ”
Wang Yue looked at the other party's bloodstained face, still standing proudly, sighed, and said, "It's a pity! ”
Fu hardened his heart again, turned his head and said loudly: "Kill them!" ”
His cavalry stepped forward together, and the remaining remnants of the defeated soldiers were naturally killed one by one, "General, this ......"
In the end, looking at that little man, Wang Yue also understood where this army came from, but at this time, he would not have a trace of fear, what was the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, "Kill it!" ”
Yang Xiu, who had a big plan and vision, was executed like this before he could show his talent at all.
