Chapter 149 Don't You Need Money For War?
"collapse!"

A crossbow arrow easily passed through the wooden board, and then passed through two layers of felt, until it lost momentum and stopped in front of the snow-filled parapet. However, the force of the arrow tail was still very strong. buzzing.

Huang Qi glanced at the dangling arrow tail, took a deep breath and said, "This Bai Lanqiang's crossbow arrow was bought from Tubo people. It's really powerful. Just now, it pierced through the three-layer cowhide shield at once."

He looked at Zhao De on the side, and asked, "How about it, can we charge again?"

Zhao De's face was ugly, he checked the dent on his iron helmet, and found that the helmet was not broken, he quickly put it on again, and while fastening the belt, he shook his head and said: "I can't rush out, mother, this group of Bai Lanqiang blocked the road They are afraid that our arrows will not come in, so they want to kill us here. It’s okay for us to stay here, but when we go out, we are greeted by crossbow arrows. Just now, the two brothers were shot to death within ten steps. It's useless to rush again."

"How is this good?"

Huang Qi looked at the small road outside, he couldn't see the enemy at all, it was just a quiet road at first glance, but he knew that as long as he turned around from those two yurts, there would be at least two dozen Qiang crossbowmen outside. , all aiming at the intersection with bows and crossbows, and hearing those voices before, they probably have already dismantled the tent in front of them into a white field. There is no place to hide, and within a hundred steps, even if you rush out, you will be shot into hedgehogs in just a few breaths.

We can't leave now. Huang Qi said: "Then we can only wait. There are still a few brothers outside. I hope they don't attack inside. We can quickly find Wang Changshi and lead his troops to rescue us. Maybe we still have a chance of survival." .”

"Even if you come to rescue... alas..." Zhao De said a few words, but finally he didn't say anything to disturb the morale of the army. He took out a piece of boiled horse meat and took a bite, then grabbed a handful of snow and put it in his mouth, chewing After chewing it was difficult to swallow.

Huang Qi also sighed and started to eat as well. At this time, the soldiers following the two men couldn't help it anymore. One of them suddenly asked: "Captain, are we unable to get out?"

Huang Qi was stunned and said angrily: "What did you say? Something happened over there with Wang Changshi, why didn't you come to rescue us? You said you'd wait until dawn, why are you so anxious?"

The government troops looked at each other, and suddenly someone said: "Why is Wang Changshi here? There are more than 20 Bailanqiang archers and more than 100 soldiers outside. There are more than a dozen of them, so what if they are here? I saw it Tianming, they must have left by themselves, and they won’t bother us anymore.”

Huang Qi and Zhao De looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The two had been setting fire to harass the east side of Murongji's camp before. Relying on the protection of the wind and snow, they had no danger for one night and were not found at all.But when they walked into Bailan Qiang's camp half an hour ago and wanted to set fire to it and run away, they were suddenly surrounded by Qiang people hiding around the forage field.

For some reason, the Qiang people guessed that they would come to set fire to the forage field, so they laid an ambush in advance, catching them by surprise.In fact, the two had expected this kind of situation, but they believed that the cavalry in the barracks could not charge, and these people could only use infantry to fight against the Tang army. The national army was no match for the Tang army at all, so Huang Qi and Zhao De were not too worried about encountering small groups of resistance before.

But after fighting Bai Lanqiang this time, the two found that their opponent was very difficult to deal with.

On the opposite side, under the command of a young nobleman, several tents were pulled down as soon as the battle started.Huang Qi and Zhao De didn't realize what this meant at first, but then they found that the two tents were empty. After they were pulled down, their two teams were almost exposed in the middle of an open space, and then there was no infantry confrontation at all. , but more than 20 crossbowmen suddenly came out, took out the crossbow arrows and surrounded them in the middle, which was a shot.

Huang Qi and Zhao De soon discovered that this group of Bai Lanqiang's crossbow arrows were very powerful, and they were completely unable to move forward, let alone break out of the siege.

Huang Qi picked up a crossbow and observed it, and found that the standard of the arrow was the shape of a Sichuan crossbow. Thinking that this thing was imitated by the Tubo people, he quickly guessed that it was bought by the Qiang people from the Tubo people. Crossbow arrows, I can't help crying.

Tubo people are good at riding and shooting. Although they have not learned the technology of making crossbows for a long time, their crossbow technology is already quite sophisticated, and the arrows that Tubo people are famous for are basically poisoned. Then he found that several government troops around him had been killed The arrow, even if it didn't hurt the vitals, immediately lost the ability to move and fell to the ground. Huang Qi soon knew that his judgment was correct.

Then Huang Qi was depressed for a while. Tubo crossbows are not cheap. Although crossbows are easier to make than bows and arrows, a pot of Tubo crossbows costs at least 20 yuan. Indiscriminate shooting, isn't it worth fighting this battle?

But the enemy would not answer his doubts. Seeing that five of the twenty brothers on his side died instantly, Huang Qi and Zhao De quickly led their people to hide in a densely packed tent.

Bai Lanqiang also arranged many people on the surrounding paths. Zhao De and Huang Qi fought all the way. When they finally hid in the current tent, there were only ten people left around them.

They quickly took out their arrows to shoot, pulled down the tent at the same time, built some simple shelters with materials, and then patted thick snow blocks behind the shelters to protect them from arrow damage.

More than a dozen people died on Huang Qi's side, and he picked up their quiver all the way. Now that there are enough arrows at hand, Bai Lanqiang's men rushed several times, but after being shot down by Huang Qi's random arrows, Bai Lanqiang's men also Instead of continuing to chase in and die, he waited quietly outside.Huang Qi and the others wanted to rush out, but they couldn't after several attempts.

Now the two sides are in such a stalemate, but Huang Qi and Zhao De understand that this situation will not last long, they only have so many feather arrows, and the food is limited, and more importantly, human energy cannot keep them going. High alert.If no one came to rescue them at dawn, their team of only a dozen or so people would definitely collapse soon.

Seeing that the snow was falling again, a few people were tense just now, and their bodies still had some heat, but now they calmed down, and they felt very cold all at once. In addition, the words of those government soldiers aroused infinite pessimism, Huang Qi and Zhao De couldn't help but burn with worry.

Zhao De climbed up to Huang Qi's side and whispered: "How many people are there on Wang Changshi's side? It's impossible to come if you don't have time to look after yourself. It won't work like this. If we don't charge again, we can get out more or less early. I knew I shouldn't have come."

Huang Qi sighed in his heart, he knew that charging like this would probably just lead to death, but now it was the only choice.

Huang Qi said: "If you want to leave, leave early, if you continue to exhaust yourself, your physical strength will be exhausted, and you will only be more impatient."

Zhao De nodded, he took another bite of horse meat, turned around and said to the crowd: "When I swallow this bite of meat, I will fight with them, and everyone should eat something quickly, and I will be a hungry ghost. We are going to die. gone."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt infinite sadness in their hearts. They all understood that it was actually impossible for Wang Dong to come at this time.

Everyone took out food to satisfy their hunger, and while eating, some people cried, while others kept cursing, "What kind of thief and bird Wang Changshi, even the bird doesn't understand and still commands blindly."

"Damn, it's all the fault of that fellow, who ruined my life."

"fart……"

At this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing outside, Huang Qi's ears moved, and he raised his head in doubt, "What's the sound outside?"

Everyone also stopped cursing and listened curiously.

Then the sound became louder and louder, and then a very familiar voice came from afar, "Didn't you say they were surrounded here? People?"

Is that... Wang Changshi's voice?
