Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 574 The Pursuit of Xixia Soldiers
The next day, Brother Richard was promoted to a general.The first question was what happened last night.

Li Heda told the story before and after with a gloomy face, and then continued without waiting for Brother Li Cha to ask: "This morning, the last general took his men and horses to the place where the incident happened last night to check, and only saw some arrows falling apart. , not a single corpse."

Brother Richard's mouth curled up in amusement.In the reconciliation account, a general of Xixia army asked: "Tell me, why?"

"General, what... is this strange?" A party general asked blankly.The enemy came out of the city at night, and the puffy arrows shot past, naturally some fell to the ground, and as for the corpses...

"That's right, the corpse. Where did the corpse go?" the man suddenly yelled after realizing it.

"Haha, if I guess correctly, those are not real people, but scarecrows dressed in black." Brother Richard said with a smile, "During the Anshi Rebellion in Li Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xun fought with the Linghu Chao tribe in Yongqiu. , the city ran out of arrows, so he lowered countless scarecrows from the city wall at night. Linghu Chao concluded that it was Zhang Xun who sent troops for a sneak attack, so he ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows at them. Zhang Xun took back the scarecrows during the day and got hundreds of thousands of arrows. It’s just a repeat of the same old trick.”

Another leader of the Dangxiang tribe got up and said, "This battle has not started yet, why is there a shortage of arrows in the city?" The Han people are the most prosperous.

Li Heda just wanted to laugh when he heard this, the brains of the chiefs of the Dangxiang tribe are really not as flexible as the Khitan nobles.

Brother Li Cha also took a serious look at this guy, he mobilized a total of [-] tribal troops for this fight, and there are many big and small leaders inside, but this one in front of him is definitely the most stupid among the group.

He was too lazy to speak, and only glanced at Li Heda, who stood up and said: "General Xi Feng, I thought this was a deliberate deception. He lowered the city with a dummy today, and our army will be sent to Japan in the future." I will definitely not be fooled again. If I do this a few times, I think the soldiers who are watching at night will think it is normal. Then I will give him an opportunity to take advantage of." And if you pay full attention every time, you will be defeated every time. Earning arrows, the number is not much, but it is especially popular for bad guys.This matter is not easy to solve!

Looking at the stunned oak oak, Brother Li Cha looked at Li Heda with satisfaction in his eyes. It really saves worry and effort to work with smart people.

"How insidious and cunning this bird boy is, all the sons of the Zhe family deserve to die." Xifeng Oak Oak raged.

"Send the order and attack the city in an hour." Seeing the anger among the generals in the tent, Brother Richard took the opportunity to say.He wanted to thank Zhe Keda. If it weren't for Zhe Keda, how could he have made the generals so eager to fight?

An hour later, the army holding the flag of Xia was approaching Yinchuan City densely, and the leader was the idiot, who was bald, wearing heavy armor, wielding a long knife, and rushed to the ranks. front row.Surrounded by guards in heavy armor, they commanded the troops under their command while being careful to guard against arrows and crossbows flying from the top of the city.

To know.Although there is no bed crossbow in the city of Yinchuan, there are many god-armed bows.The latter has huge damage and high accuracy, so it must be guarded against.With the strong bow and crossbow on the top of the city, the Xixia army pushed straight to the Yinchuan city.

Thick and long wooden rafts were erected, made of logs, covered with rawhide, no matter how strong the bows and crossbows on the top of the city were, it would be difficult to break if it was not a bed crossbow.

"Fill the trench quickly!" the fine-sealed oak oak called loudly.

Yinchuan City is on the bank of the Wuding River, so how could there be no moat?And it is wide and deep.

If you want to win the city, you must first fill it up.Today's task for Oak Oak is to fill the trench.

Bunches of dry firewood were thrown into the moat, then bundles of hay were spread, and then wooden rafts were added. Before noon, the moat had already been cleared with five passages.

This method was learned by the Xixia people from the Song Army. It is simple and practical. It is much simpler and more effective than throwing bags of sand and soil to fill trenches.

But even so, 700 people were killed or injured by the fine-sealed oak oak.But people didn't take it seriously at all. Not all six or seven hundred people died, and what if they all died?

In the afternoon, fine-sealed oak still played the leading role. "Rush forward and kill them all. Those who climb the city first will be rewarded with a hundred guan, and the women in the city are free to choose."

A surge of courage rose from the hearts of his soldiers.The attractiveness of money and women made these tribal soldiers forget about death, like a stimulant, encouraging them to rush forward desperately.They raised their shields high above their heads, carried the ladders and rushed down to the city, behind them were fellow robes holding bows and crossbows to cover them.

A ladder was built to the top of Yinchuan City.Later, there was that brave person who climbed the long ladder first.They bit the knives in their mouths, and rushed upward with a pair of fierce eyes.

Naturally, the defenders on the city were not given for nothing. The Liangshan army who captured Yinchuan did not know how many livestock they had captured. The fat left by the slaughtered animals was enough for them to easily burn all the ladders below the city.

But such a powerful weapon cannot be used easily unless it is too powerful.He called on the defenders, who had been recharging their strength for a long time, to lift pieces of rolling wood and rocks and throw them down the long ladder.Or ask the powerful knife and axe-hand to cut off the undercut at the top of the long ladder, and then use the butt to push it away.

In an instant, an unknown number of party soldiers were knocked off the ladder by rolling logs and rocks, and fell to the bottom of the city, seemingly dying.

I don't know how many people were stabbed to death by the guards at the top of the city holding extended guns.Or the gray bottles were knocked down one by one, causing the blinded Xixia soldiers to flee in panic, and then they were nailed to the ground by the strong bows and crossbows on the top of the city.

But this didn't scare off these Xixia soldiers, how could this siege be human?They have fought against the Song army for decades, and the ultimate main body is offensive and defensive warfare, which the Xixia people know best.

Be it officials or soldiers, no one cares about casualties.

An old ladder was broken, and a new ladder was put on the top of Yinchuan city again.Those Dangxiang tribal soldiers crawled towards the top of the city like ants. As long as they break through the city, they will be able to enter the Han territory.It is said that the group of Liang bandits gathered all the Han people north of Yan'an to Suide, what a wealth that is.

Thinking that your tribe can add thousands of Han slaves, hundreds or even more craftsmen, what else can those party leaders not sacrifice?
As for the party soldiers, they have never been able to go deep into the Han territory since the late Zhezong Dynasty. It has been peaceful here for 20 years, so how rich they must be.When I think of the huge wealth and hundreds of thousands of Han men and women waiting to be snatched by me, the countless Han slaves and flowery Han women, the secretion of adrenaline accelerates, and the speed of climbing the ladder increases. It got faster and faster.
