Chapter 0336: Three Days of Hanging
"Ahh............h
Screams immediately came from below the city, and dozens of steppe warriors were shot down almost simultaneously.
This was just the beginning, and when the steppe warriors tried to turn and flee, hundreds of crossbow bolts rained down from the sky.
Compared to bows and arrows, crossbow arrows have a longer range and require longer preparation time for each shot. But under the three-stage design, shoot as far as possible, and suddenly stunned the retreating steppe warriors.
Suddenly, nearly 100 people fell off their war horses one after another on their backs, shoulders, necks, and the middle of the back of their heads, and some of them were shot through under the powerful arrows, and they fell directly to the ground, and then they were trampled by the war horses that could not be pulled behind them.
At the same time, before the second group of rushing grassland warriors could shoot the arrows in their hands, they were stunned by the counterattacking Xihe soldiers, and immediately counterattacked.
In order to be able to use their arrows, the archers of the West River wore not heavy armor with excellent defense and comprehensive defense, but ordinary double-layer cowhide armor. The double-layer cowhide armor is sewn with the toughest best cowhide, and the defense is not low and the ordinary ten-forged steel armor can play a good defensive effect after wearing, and it is light, and the key parts are made of dazzling iron.
But after all, they are not wearing seamless heavy armor, under the superb archery skills of the steppe warriors, many soldiers have no time to dodge or defend, and are shot into defenseless or weak parts, and several are shot through the cowhide armor, and the arrows directly penetrate the body.
The two sides did not stop shooting because of their own losses, the brutal shooting was just an appetizer before the start of the war, in less than ten minutes, the grassland warriors dropped nearly a thousand corpses, embarrassed to withdraw from the range of Xihe City, more than a dozen people rode out of the army, back to the Yuan Dynasty vanguard army where the Yuan Dynasty was located.
"All the wounded are withdrawn, and all the teams, led by the centurion, take turns to change defenses!"
Zhang Yuanyuan looked at the more than 4,000 grassland warriors who were hovering five hundred meters away, knowing that he would not attack if he waited for the more than ten people who had left in a gray manner to come back, otherwise he would not be attacking, and he gave an order while watching.
"How does it feel? Isn't it a bunch of crumbling dogs! Aren't you guys amazing? One by one, why didn't you go to Xihe City, who patted his chest in front of me at that time to guarantee! ”
Zhao Min sat in the golden tent, staring coldly at the leaders of the more than ten grassland tribes kneeling in front of him, the patriarch, his words were full of coldness, without a trace of emotion.
In the past few days, she has not been tossed and dizzy by Xiao Lu and them, because this kind of vanguard army of the Yuan Dynasty is composed of ordinary grassland tribes, and the members are extremely mixed, although Zhao Min wants to find the source, but how to find it in this chaotic crowd? There's no way to start.
However, she also followed this opportunity to successfully walk on the bright side, showdown to control the entire army, although Peng Spleen is unwilling, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, he may not be weaker than Zhao Min, or even slightly higher.
But when it comes to means and strategy, he is still good at dealing with ordinary grassland tribes, and he is far worse than Zhao Min.
So, Peng Spleen struggled for a while, and then gave Zhao Min a solution in twos and threes, Zuihou sat there and didn't even dare to put a fart, fortunately he was not stupid, and he surrendered to Zhao Min in time, and Zhao Min didn't want to force him, so he jumped over the wall in a hurry at this time, messing up the army's heart.
"I can't stand it, why is a woman chirping crookedly in front of me, isn't she the county lord of the Yuan Dynasty? Can't I hide if I can't be provoked? Hmph, labor and management are gone! A man with a fierce face with pigtails stood up and shouted straight out, and was just about to sweep open the tent when he found a bald old man in a yellow shirt standing in front of him.
The bald old man was carrying a bear on his back, it was Fang Dongbai who was following Zhao Min's side, Fang Dongbai clasped his hands to his chest, and said lightly: "Is this a place where you can come and leave if you want?" ”
"Hmph, how are you doing?" The man took a step back, his eyes were full of fierceness, and his left hand had unconsciously touched the hilt of the knife on his waist.
Zhao Min sat there, didn't look at them, gently took away the teacup on the table, blew a breath, and said indifferently: "The weapon on your body was given to you by me, and now I want to leave, isn't it too simple to think about it, drag it out, kill it, and hang it for three days to set an example!" ”
Fang Dongbai bent down and responded: "It's ......!" ”
"If you want my life, you don't ......!" The man saw the opportunity, pulled out the scimitar violently, and flirted towards Dongfang Bai who was blocking in front.
Seeing that the scimitar was about to hit, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, but he felt a pain in his right hand holding the knife, the scimitar staggered and fell to the ground, and the man knelt alone with a scream, holding his right wrist with his left hand, and blood oozed out of his fingers.
Zhao Min frowned lightly, slightly displeased, and shouted in a deep voice: "Get out!" ”
"Yes, master!" Dongfang Bai's heart trembled, he didn't dare to refute anything, he mentioned the strong man and walked out, blood was sprinkled on the carpet of the Golden Tent, Zhao Min squinted slightly, took a sip of tea, and said: "Ah San, wait a minute, take out the carpet for me and burn it for a new one, what I hate the most is blood, the color is too bright, and the fishy smell is too heavy!" ”
Hearing Zhao Min's words, the hearts of the dozen or so kneeling people all trembled, and they regarded each other as witches, even if they were puffy and slightly discolored, when they looked at Zhao Min, they were more in awe.
Zhao Min put down the teacup, glanced at the kneeling leaders, and asked in a flat voice: "How do you feel, do you want to fight!" ”
"Subordinates know their mistakes!" One person took the lead, and the others followed.
"Wrong, where are you wrong?" Zhao Min seemed to look at them with interest, and the kneeling leaders lowered their heads.
"Subordinates shouldn't doubt the words of the county lord!"
"Yes, yes, don't fight, subordinates don't fight!"
"No!" Zhao Min waited for them to stop before he spoke: "You were wrong before, you were stupid, and you didn't know the current affairs!" Now the mistake is that there is no seed, and one by one they have no courage to return without success, what a bunch of waste, it is better than the idiot just now! At least he had some guts, so I decided not to destroy his clan! ”
The two words of extermination, which made the kneeling leaders and Peng's hearts tremble again, they have seen Zhao Min's methods these days, and they can definitely do what they say, the means are so ruthless, and the face changes quickly, all of them are chilled and frightened.
Maybe, her gentleness only blooms to Zhang Wuji alone.
"Let's all go down and prepare, this time, we have to fight a wonderful fight, so as not to let people say that my subordinates are a bunch of useless waste!" Zhao Min stood up, didn't look at the kneeling leaders, and walked out.
