Chapter 295: Trapping County (I)
The people are no better than Hu Bing, they don't have any armor, and they don't know how to evade, this row passed, and suddenly hundreds of them were knocked to the ground, rolling on the ground and screaming loudly.
"Shoot!" Lu Suhai roared angrily, and his long voice pierced the sky. [bsp;
bsp;β Bang Bang Bang!" and smoke continued to rise, followed by another scream, and he fell to the ground.
"Lord Limu?"
Seeing that the people died too quickly, one million times faster than the bow and arrow shooting, and in the blink of an eye, three or four hundred were shot and killed, and tens of thousands of Han people were afraid that they would be wiped out in just one day, and some people asked.
When Li Mu saw this scene, his face did not change: "Don't worry, Your Highness is wise, and you have fallen into His Highness's scheme! When there is always an end of firearms, what is not worth it to let these people consume their firearms?"
"If 10,000 Han people died, catch 10,000 more, anyway, what is the pity of the Han people who died, I want to see how many firearms they have and how many Han people will die!"
"No matter if you consume 12,000 or 80,000, you are all Han people, and you have a Li Khanate, this is really a business that only makes money and does not lose money, haha!" As he spoke, Li Mu looked up to the sky and laughed, very happy.
At this time, Lu Suhai no longer commanded in person, and his personal soldiers saw that his eyes were red, his muscles were straight, and his voice was hoarse, so he hurriedly pulled him down, Zheng Pingyuan glanced back, revealing a look of pity.
The twenty-year-old young general, who had only reached adulthood in peacetime, was provoked by this sting too early, but as soon as this thought passed, Zheng Pingyuan stood on the high platform, and after his own soldiers separated, he began to command.
In the open space under the wall, groups of Han Chinese people rushed over with dirt and bricks, and in order to prevent them from rushing up, the fire was constantly roaring.
Countless corpses were laid on the ground, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
There were so many people who died, and some of them were shocking.
But at such times, it is not at all soft-hearted.
Looking at the people who were wearing special stones, crying and shouting, but did not dare to resist, Zheng Pingyuan's face was tense, and his mood was also very complicated.
If Hu Bing didn't have a fire system to resist, it would be difficult to stop it.
"Go and ask how much gunpowder there is!" Zheng Pingyuan was suddenly startled, thinking of this question, he ordered to go to the back and ask and walked towards Lu Suhai, who was standing behind and had begun to calm down.
"Governor Zheng Tiandu, what's the situation?" Lu Su Haiguo calmed down.
"There are fire commanders who take turns shooting and are supplemented by crossbowmen to keep them from getting close to the wall. It's just that I'm afraid that if this continues, there will be no more gunpowder. Zheng Pingyuan expressed his worries from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Suhai was startled, and suddenly completely sobered up.
The two fleets carried a lot of gunpowder, but they couldn't last much time if they continued to consume it like this.
One day or two days will be fine, but if you fight for five days and ten days, the Hu people rely on this method, and the reserves will not be enough.
At this time, the soldier who came to report the results: "Tiandu Governor, we don't have much gunpowder, if we continue to fight like this, it will only be enough for three days ...... Jiante",
"The gunpowder is used up, and you can only retreat, and you can't fight the cavalry with the sailors alone. Lu Suhai pondered for a moment and said: "Retreat is not good, the rear supply cannot be reached within two days, it seems that we can only think from other aspects, if there is no firearms, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on for even half a day." β
This is true, the Hu people are brave and good at riding and shooting, and it is a ground battle, our army is a naval division, and the direct attack will be frustrated only by using more firearms to win, but firearms consume a lot of gunpowder, although there are rear supplies at this time, they can not be delivered, and they cannot advance without receiving the end of the day, and they cannot retreat, so they have to find supplies from a close place. Zheng Pingyuan said.
Lu Suhai actually thinks the same way, what Zheng Pingyuan said coincides with himself.
Lu Suhai said: "Governor Zheng is thinking of a piece with me, since this is the case, it is too late to transport it to Jinling, and send people to collect gunpowder in the area where it has fallen in Yuanzhou, what do you think?"
"Very good. β
Jianggao County
Jianggao County, thirty miles away from the port of Baima, is under fierce siege by the Hu people.
In front of the city, there were densely covered with banners to show the army, and there were some huge stone reserves in the county, which smashed down, and suddenly there was a "boom" and fell down.
And the rolling crowd was still surging up, shooting a rain of arrows and desperately climbing up.
The embers curled up the fireworks, ushering in the evening sunset, the defenders of the city had exhausted the last bit of strength, and there were already many cracks, and the Hu people kept climbing up, fighting the defenders on the city, and the blood and corpses that were tangled were quickly stacked on the city.
"Kill!" Zhang Dongting, the county lieutenant, is a famous warrior nearby, good at using long knives, and the soldiers he brings with him fight to the death with the Hu people who climbed up.
However, even if the militia is recruited, there are only 1,000 people in the county, while the Hu people are tens of thousands of heavenly troops.
"Kill!" Zhang Dongting stared at a dark red vision, puffed up his remaining breath, and led his subordinates to rush over again.
If you want to retreat at this time, there is no way, the Hu people have rushed to the city wall and surrounded the team.
The two teams collided violently again, and blood was immediately sparked.
At this moment, at this juncture of the fight, the soldiers wielding weapons did their best to chop and stab, so that the swords and spears in their hands were dulled, and even if they had armor, they were still hung by swords from time to time, splashing blood.
Zhang Dongting is known for his bravery, but he is still unstoppable at this time. Everywhere he went, the sword light was swept down, and the circle of Hu people in front of him had been killed by him and his own soldiers one after another.
Shocked by his bravery, the Hu people who pounced on him surrounded them, allowing them to highlight a gap.
Until an empty space appeared in front of him, Zhang Dongting's eyes were empty, and he couldn't help but gasp for air.
Looking around, he saw that most of the 1,000 people he had brought with him had lost most of them, and they were surrounded by victims, and there were screams from time to time, and only ten of his own soldiers still followed him.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Dongting was resentful in his heart, and hissed: "Sons, kill it!"
At this moment, there was a commotion not far away, and a Hu man led a group of people to chase after him.
This person is also holding a long knife, tall, wearing a suit of fine armor, about ten years old, and sharp eyes.
He looked him up and down, and said in the Chinese language of Chu Yue: "You are a warrior! You have some skills, our khanate needs a warrior like you, are you willing to surrender to me?"
"Surrender to you?" Zhang Dongting was covered in blood, and the special knife sneered.
"Yes, I am Ebony, and I am a thousand households under the account of the Great Khan and His Highness! I admire a warrior like you, and if you surrender to me, I will reuse it for you! Give you beauty! Give you treasure! Give you wealth! Besides, you have no emperor now, for whom will you die?"
Hearing this name, Zhang Dongting thought about it, and the Hu general who shouted before the siege called this name, and when he heard this, he laughed even more: "Hu Gou, even if I don't have an emperor, I'm a Han person, go die!"
Zhang Dongting laughed miserably and pounced.
A trace of wind came, and the knife in Zhang Dongting's hand slashed out obliquely, only to hear the sound of "poof", and immediately killed a Hu soldier, but at the same time, on the side of the body, he felt a sharp pain.
"Won't it fall?" Ebony stared at Zhang Dongting, a little disappointed, and in the blink of an eye, there was a kind of fanaticism in his eyes, only to hear a heavenly roar, and pounced.
The blades of the two staggered, and sparks suddenly burst out.
Zhang Dongting is a famous martial artist, with strong blood and martial arts, but at this moment, his hands are shaking.
Zhang Dongting suddenly showed sadness, if he was in his heyday, he would have killed this person by fighting alone, but now he has many wounds and his strength is exhausted.
At this time, the shouting continued, and Hu Bing had already pounced on his own soldiers, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that his own soldiers were killed one by one.
"Hey, let's die together!" A miserable laugh was revealed, and at this time, a Hu soldier raised his knife and slashed, but he only took a step forward, and the blade slashed wrongly, and the soldier was killed in an instant.
At this moment, the ebony wolf pounced and stabbed in, Zhang Dongting's whole body was shocked, and he barely raised his head, and blood spurted out of his mouth.
Ebony pulled out the knife, his expression was a little regretful, blood splattered, Zhang Dongting moved his hand, trying to lift the knife, but a cold and numbness quickly filled his body, he slowly fell, slumped to the ground, his eyes gradually dimmed, and froze.
"It's a pity. Looking at the corpse that had fallen under the horse, Ebony sighed.
"A thousand households?"
"This man is a warrior, but unfortunately he cannot be used by us, so let's kill all the others, and I am afraid that these people will not come to me. β
"No. β
After a while, the sound of killing gradually stopped, and I saw that in the county seat, corpses were everywhere, and flowing blood gathered into a stream and flowed down from the city wall.
The battlefield was full of smoke, blood floated in the air, and a large number of Hu people continued to pour in, with constant pursuit and cries, as well as screams of mending knives.
Obviously, after killing, Hu Bing carried out the rectification of the women in the county, and Hu Bing could be seen from time to time, chasing after the woman and falling to the ground in a strange laughter.
And there were a large number of soldiers, one by one, smashed apart, under the vicious whip and long knife, one by one, the people were driven out of their homes, staggering, their eyes full of blankness and despair.
Hu Erbo was accustomed to such a scene, and only ordered: "Rest for an hour, and there are all the people in this county, all of whom will be driven out and gathered at the military camp in Baima Port." β
After speaking, he stopped watching, and did not even order the battlefield to be cleaned up, and directly took his own soldiers and headed towards the base camp in front of White Horse Port.
Along the way, I saw that the Han people were pitiful.
At this moment, in the port of White Horse, the battle had subsided, and there was a truce inside and outside the city, and in one day, although 10,000 Han people did not die, but half of them died.
At this time, it was already May, and the corpses were prone to epidemics, so they had to send personnel to dig pits and bury them collectively.
In this case, the Hu people did not stop it, because after the Hu people attacked the city, they would also send people to collect the corpses of their soldiers at dusk, and the defenders would not shoot them at that time.
And on the surface, ten warships dropped anchor and prepared to set sail.
LΓΌ Suhai had already discussed with Zheng Pingyuan and decided to send people from the waterway to the territory of Yuanzhou, which had been surrendered to the Dacheng Dynasty, and collect gunpowder from there.
It is not possible to travel by land for a short period of time, but it is possible to travel by water.
In the setting sun, more than a dozen warships slowly set sail and headed into the distance.
There are still warships left here on the dock, this is for the sake of the retreat of the sailors, if the supplies and help are not in time, once they run out of gunpowder, they can only retreat.
It is not easy to train a sailor, even His Majesty will not be happy to see a sailor, fight with the land and cavalry, and die in vain.
