Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 481 Bullying the Soft and Fearing the Hard Zhao Officials 【Subscription】

Teams of infantry from the Song army had only entered within a hundred steps, and in front of them were a large number of sword and shield fighters, wearing heavy armor and holding large shields, moving forward steadily.

Zhao Li turned a blind eye to them.These heavy infantrymen wearing infantry armor are just braised iron cans. Apart from bed crossbows, they are heavy weapons such as dropping knives, long axes, hammers, iron whips and iron bones that can hurt them.

At this distance, the strong bow and crossbow still count.

Even if it is doubled, ordinary arrows are useless at all. Only special armor-piercing arrows can cause damage to infantry armor within fifty steps.

The flow of people is slowly approaching, eighty steps, seventy steps..., fifty steps, forty steps...

Waiting for this moment!The corner of Zhao Li's mouth curled up, and a cold murderous intent burst out fiercely. With a "chuo", he pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and swung it forward violently: "Let the arrow—"

"Squeak—"

A strong bow and crossbow were pulled up, and the creaking sound of the bent arms of the bow made a sound at the top of the city, and sharp armor-piercing heavy arrows were buckled on the strings.

The next moment, piercing screams continued, and arrows and crossbows as dense as migratory locusts poured down from the incomplete city wall, mercilessly accumulating in the surging Song army formation.

The miserable howl sounded instantly, and the Song Army infantry who were charging fell down one by one.Even death and injury, several waves of arrows rained down, and more than [-]% of the armor of thousands of Song soldiers was lost.

In front of the Song army.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Ming's face was not cold. "This Zhao Li..." Just looking at how Shen County was defended, one can know that this family member from 500 years ago is extraordinary.

The next moment, the Song Army's crossbowmen, who followed the swordsman and hand-to-hand warriors to the city, also began to fight back.

But this kind of shooting between the city and the city is the latter's disaster.The crossbowmen of the Huainan Army were not only covered by shields, but also protected by enemy towers, shooting from crenels and lookout holes.Although the crossbowmen of the Song Army under the city were covered by a shield wall, it was still a big disadvantage to shoot at each other!

However, their counterattack also put a lot of pressure on the Song Army infantry!

After paying a certain amount of casualties, the infantry of the Song Army finally rushed under the collapsed city wall, and the real fight began.First, sword and shield soldiers swarmed up, followed by a group of hand-to-hand armor soldiers.

The sound of fighting began to resound through the city.In the south city of Shenxian County, the front of the Li Xu long city wall has seven or eight gaps, and every quarter of an hour, people are losing their lives and bleeding!

Zhao Ming looked grim, the most critical moment of the siege was coming.This is the moment when "either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind."To him, the lives of the soldiers of the Western Army are not worth mentioning. He has seen too many lives and deaths, and he has long passed the stage of being saddened by the death of soldiers. Now all he cares about is whether he can win the city.

Following Zhao Ming's order, another infantry battalion rushed out of the formation and rushed towards the city where the fighting was going on.

And just as the fighting was going on in Shen County, and just as the fierce fighting was still going on under the city of Luzhou, an even more tragic fighting was being staged in Tongling on the south bank of the great river.

——Western Army Vs Manichaeism.

"Die to me—" Bai Qin swung his long sword quickly, the arrow wound on his left arm made him unable to use the long spear, and he only held the long sword in one hand.The sharp sword body showed dazzling white awns in the sun, and as he swung the sword body, it turned into life-threatening cold awns.

The tip of the sword lightly kissed the necks and throats of the Western Army soldiers, bringing out streams of bright blood spurting out.

And if there is someone who knows something about Zu Shiyuan, the Right Prime Minister of the Southern Kingdom, he will be able to find at a glance that the sword technique used by Bai Qin is the same as that ancestor Yuan's slow-moving sword dance.

"Kill! Kill, kill, kill!" Hundreds of Manichaean soldiers at the gate tower shouted.Sure enough, as Bai Qin learned in Shandong in the past, the offensive and defensive battles settled down after killing people's hearts.As soldiers of the Western Army died one by one, as the Manichaean soldiers died in battle, and as the fighting continued, the defense line of the Manichean army at the head of the city became more and more stable.

"Wow—" A large pot of boiling water poured down from the top of the city.

There was a burst of hysterical screams and screams in the city.Even wearing armor.The soldiers of the Western Army were not completely free from fear of boiling water, and what was even worse were those who climbed up the ladder.The palms and faces are all rotten.

A small amount of hot oil was poured on the ladder car, a few torches fell, and the ladder car was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.Soldiers of the Western Army who avoided them were rolling and crying on the ground covered in flames, most of them would be reduced to a pile of ashes in the flames, and the few who were rescued were burnt beyond recognition and covered in black charcoal. .

The situation was getting better and better, and Bai Qin no longer rushed to the front line.Instead, he stepped on the top of the city with a long sword in his hand and a vicious expression on his face, patrolling the soldiers, and his sharp eyes glanced at the soldiers all the time. The cold eyes were like a whip that never forgot to urge them. All the soldiers were "shocked", and no one dared to avoid the battle and play tricks.

"Taiwei, the Manichaean army in Tongling City is not weak. If our army insists on attacking forcefully, I am afraid that we will suffer casualties... It will not be too small, and the loss outweighs the gain." Seeing the corpses of the infantry of the Western Army from the The top of the city fell, and one of the generals on the side of the plantation division couldn't help but speak to him.

Among the teachers, he was unwavering.How many Manichaean rebels are there in Tongling City?The two sides fought each other, and in the end it was the Manichaeans who finished first.

This battle is the first battle of the Western Army's Jiangnan strategy, and there is no room for loss.It is not afraid to lose some soldiers and horses, but it is even worse if you lose your vigor.

Although the fight in front of him caused a trace of remorse in the seed teacher center, but he felt that he was a little arrogant and underestimated the Manichae army.The fighting power of the latter, at least the will to fight, was much stronger than that of Wang Qingjun.

Bai Qin watched the changes of the Song army outside the city, his expression became ugly.The Western Army's offensive is so strong that it is so powerful.Watching another team of Western Army infantry slowly move under the city.He knew in his heart that he would not be able to hold on today!
"Fortunately, everything in the city has been properly arranged."

Bai Qin's murderous look was revealed through narrowed eyes, looking at Song Jun who was busy outside the city, he sneered coldly in his heart.It's not a big deal to lose Tongling. When the Song army comes in, there will be a big surprise for them.

Inside Tongling City.Bai Qin gathered all the soldiers and horses that could be dispatched, and there were [-] armored soldiers, but they were not placed under the city wall, but at a stone archway a little further away.This place used to be a lively place in Tongling City, but now the surrounding houses were burned to the ground during the last attack, leaving only a large stone archway standing, the surrounding area is empty, and it is close to the main road of Ximen.The city was destroyed, and the Western Army was rushing to kill with defeated soldiers, and they must pass through here.

Bai Qin circled two thousand armored soldiers into a standard square formation, Leng Sensen's saber was out of its sheath, and his sharp spear was raised forward, waiting for the final battle in Tongling City.

Lieutenant Jing De, on the contrary, exuded a sense of relief.The battle of Tongling is at the end, so let's kill!
Since the Western Army rescued Chizhou and fought against Liangshan Army in Luzhou, the Manicheean army also saw their strategy clearly, which was to attack Jinling City along the river.Although the latter is not their capital city, Jinling City is the No. 1 city in the Southern Kingdom, and its political significance is extraordinary, which cannot be missed.

The fight in the West City of Tongling was a struggle of endurance, but also a competition of tenacity.It was like the competition between the city wall of Shen County and the stone cannons of the Western Army. Although Zhao Li had made complete preparations, he was still a loser in front of the stone cannons of the Western Army.The Manichaean army had also tried their best, but in front of the powerful offensive of the Western Army, in front of the infantry armor of the Western Army, it was like the city wall of Shen County facing the stone artillery of the Western Army, and finally collapsed.

With a loud noise, the "stone bomb" finally broke through the crumbling "city wall".

"Crash~"

In the deafening loud noise. The "city wall" first changed from a small gap to a big gap, and then collapsed.

"kill!"

The Western Army shouted in unison, and one of the generals held up the long knife in his hand and pulled it forward, and thousands of elite Western Army soldiers stood up in an instant.Amidst the loud shouts, thousands of heavy armored infantry were the flood that broke the embankment, rushing in from the gap in front of them, and poured into Tongling in an instant.

Everything was just as Bai Qin had imagined. The orderly Western Army outside the city dispersed immediately after they entered the city. When the nuns were elite, it was clear at a glance who was at a disadvantage and who had an advantage.

In an instant.Arrows rained down from the army column, and the two thousand Manichaean soldiers roared wildly.They are the most loyal people in the Manichaeism. The armor in the hands of the Manichaeism is not rich enough to equip garbage. Those who can be armed in this way must be the confidants of the Manichaeism.All of them looked resolute, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, just waiting for the order from the army.

Amid the passionate shouts, the Western soldiers screamed and roared hysterically.Their morale at this moment is also high and majestic.

"kill!"

Jingde dropped the knife in his hand and waved it, and the Manichaean troops arrayed in a phalanx marched forward.The shields were listed in front, and the big spears and spears were leveled later. Rows of rows moved straight forward, facing the chaotic Western Army soldiers rushing towards them.This is their only advantage, and it is also the biggest advantage.

The true meaning of war is to fight against the enemy alone and in formation.Fighting alone is the common people or the green forests of the rivers and lakes.

The originally orderly military ranks of the Western Army have been scattered and disorganized after being "tested" by the city walls and streets and alleys.But Manichaeism, the orderly army formation remains unwavering.The western army that rushed in immediately fell into a disadvantage.

"Kill kill kill~~"

The two armies with high fighting spirit finally collided fiercely. In an instant, the chilling sound of howling and killing resounded through the sky, stabbing with long spears, slashing with swords, and blood flew with stumps and broken arms. out.

Bloody, ferocious, tragic.

Wave after wave of soldiers from the Western Army collided with the solid battle formation of the Manichaean army. Amid the deafening sound of killing, the soldiers of the Western Army fell down row by row like straw that had been cut down.At the same time, the Manichaean army was also bleeding, because the soldiers of the Western Army who followed were still rushing forward bravely and shouting. At the same time, the vigilant Western Army began to detour through the streets and attack and kill the Manichean army at the big archway. side rear.

Human life on the battlefield is really more contemptible than wind, sand and dry grass. Every moment, every breath, someone will fall down crying and die in pain.

Therefore, this time the contest still ended in the failure of Manichaeism.

The small Tongling City is like a pot of boiling water, with the sounds of fighting, screams and many noises resounding from all directions!
Until a big fire burst into the sky.

"Burn it, burn it, burn it to your heart's content!" Outside the east gate, Bai Qin stood on his horse, looking at the Tongling city engulfed by the fire, with a wanton grin on his face.Little sparks have risen from many places on the east, west, north, and south sides of the city, which is really a good fire.

"Where's General Jingde?"

Bai Qin asked.He naturally knew that this kind of behavior would hurt people, and there are still many people in Tongling City, but there is nothing to do, there are such family-loving people in this world, and even a war can't drive them away.Now naturally they are all caught in the fire.But who is to blame?Their weight is not enough to make Bai Qin change his strategy and hold his hand high.You must know how many Western troops can be killed by this fire.

This bitch is forced!He didn't want to hurt innocent people too much.

Who told Zhao Guan's family in Luoyang to bully the weak and fear the strong, and let the Liangshan army in Shandong not fight, but came to attack their Manichaeism?
The whole of his mother's Hebei has been emptied. Doesn't he understand that he is giving up the land of Hebei to act as a buffer, so that he can concentrate on destroying their Manichaean army?It’s so deceiving!
"General Jingde has not entered the formation." But he was too entangled in the stone archway, and by the time he woke up to the strategy, it was already too late.

"Damn it." Bai Qin cursed fiercely.Jingde and he are from the same lineage, they are both generals of Zu Shiyuan's lineage.But he didn't expect that one of them would be broken after the first battle. Turning his head to look at the burning Tongling City, Bai Qin thought to himself: "Forget it, let's call this city, as well as the enemy and us, as well as thousands of lives of the people in the city, to pay for it." You can be buried with him."
