Fu Song

Regardless of the dynasty or generation, basically the crossbow is forbidden but the bow and feathers are forbidden, and the armor is forbidden but the sword and gun are forbidden.

The reason is that the crossbow is stringed in advance, with good accuracy, great strength, and not easy to guard against.

The armor is even more powerful. Compared with a person without armor, a soldier wearing armor is almost equivalent to a humanoid tank rampaging.

In the battle tonight, ten heavily armed Song soldiers faced nearly two hundred bandits from Zhaodi. At the cost of two deaths, dozens of bandits were killed on the spot. The most direct reason for the killing was that Song Jun is wearing armor all over his body.

If you slash me with a knife, there will be sparks, and if I slash you with a knife, I will send you to the underworld immediately.

If you have more than five sets of armor in one person's family, you will not be wronged at all if you are convicted of treason.

Although the opponent gritted his teeth, there was nothing he could do.

Originally, he wanted to do a vote to strengthen his strength, but he didn't want to lose most of his strength in the first battle. In the future, in Zhaodi, the bandits who carry this flag will not be able to be called.

But this can only be blamed on myself, thinking that Song Jun's combat effectiveness is similar to that of Zhao Jun, and he sent only ten people to garrison in the wilderness, so he wanted to take advantage of it.

Zhao Jun didn't dare to do this, they would only shrink in the city, even if they came out, they would be in groups with a lot of votes, and there was no way to take advantage of them.

There is really a world of difference between the combat effectiveness of the Song Army and that of the Zhao Army.

In fact, what these bandits don't know is that apart from equipment, there are many institutional reasons behind the fighting power of these Song people.

This is beyond the comprehension of these bandits who can't read big characters.

The bandits retreated slowly.

A lot of corpses were left behind.

The sun has come out, the flowing blood is slowly congealing, and is slowly turning purple-black under the sunlight, a lot of mosquitoes are flying from nowhere, buzzing and landing on the purple-black, the crows There are many groups.

Watching the bandits walk away, the eight people standing back to back finally felt their legs go weak and sat down on the ground in unison.

Not only physically, but also mentally, they have reached a limit.

In front of the big enemy, you can still support yourself. Once the enemy is gone, the whole person will completely relax.

At this time, Zhang Ren felt that there was no place in his body that did not hurt.

The damage caused by the guns, knives, and sticks that were stabbed on the body just now finally appeared.

The old chief was lying sprawled on the ground, no matter where he was, it was bloody and stinging, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the headless corpse of a gangster lying on his head. In Zhang Ren's ears, he could only hear the old man's voice. A long wheezing sound.

After all, he was thirty-six or seven years old, and he was younger than someone in his early twenties.

"Zhang Xiucai, can you still crawl?" asked the elder.

"Okay!" Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and stood up.

"If you can still crawl, drag Wang Qinian and Zhou Yi into the house." Lao Shi said long.

"Okay!" Zhang Ren stood up, only to realize that, except himself, the others seemed to be seriously injured.

"What are you looking at!" Old Shizhang seemed a little annoyed, "If I had your physique, I would have killed that guy long ago."

Indeed, Chief Shi is a full head shorter than Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren, who is more than eight feet tall, is an outstanding existence in the entire camp, not to mention this.

Zhang Ren chuckled, and felt that the elder Shichang seemed to be right.

"But you are not bad." The old chief lay there, looked at Zhang Ren and said: "In the first battle, although the opponents are some unscrupulous bandits, you have exceeded my expectations, Lu Hedi After fighting a battle and beheading people, my legs were like noodles, and I dragged them back."

"Boss, you don't slap someone in the face!" Lu He, who was also lying on the ground, said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Qinian died, and so did Zhou Yi.

But Lao Shichang and Lu He didn't feel too sad.

Over the years, we have welcomed and sent off, and in every war, familiar brothers will leave.

For them, these things are all too common.

People are always going to die.

It depends on whether death is worth it or not.

there's nothing to be sad about,
Maybe, next time, it will be me who will die.

People are dead and up to the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years.

Zhang Ren dragged Wang Qinian's body into the house.

He was better, but his face was frighteningly pale.

Zhou Yi was a little bit more miserable, he couldn't see his head.

Putting the two on the Datong shop, Zhang Ren bowed, and when he came out, he suddenly found that the faces of the brothers outside seemed to be very ugly.

The old Shichang has turned over and put one ear on the ground.

"what's wrong?"

The old chief looked at Zhang Ren and suddenly smiled and said, "Zhang Xiucai, I have a task for you."

"What?"

"Get on the horse, go back to the station as fast as you can, and tell General Zhong that the enemy is coming." Lao Shichang pointed to the only horse under the thatched shed on one side.

"Where did the enemy come from?" Zhang Ren was stunned.

"It's coming soon, no, it's already here!" Lao Shichang shouted angrily: "Go, get on the horse, and run back as fast as you can, don't look back."

Zhang Ren also felt it, the ground was trembling, and then, he saw, where the sun was rising in the distance, a black line appeared on the horizon, blocking the red sun that had just revealed an arc.

That was the enemy cavalry.

"Let's go together!" he yelled, "Get up and run together!"

"Run with a hammer!" Lao Shi sighed: "If we are not injured and have enough strength, we will certainly run. There is a river less than ten miles away from us. Just jump into the river and you will be able to escape." God, but now, how do we run? I have been in the army for ten years, and I have killed many people. I have suffered many injuries, but none of them were cut from the back when I was running away. "

"Old Shichang!"

"Get out!" Lao Shichang shouted angrily: "When you become a high official in the future, don't forget to take care of the descendants of us old brothers. Get out, do you want to die with us?"

Zhang Ren raised his head and looked at the cavalry rolling in from a distance, not only the Zhao army, but also the flag of the Liao army, and those bandits who had just escaped from them were running for their lives at the moment, but they were ridden by those people. When they caught up, they were beheaded one by one in the local area, and some were thrown into the noose by the Liao people, and then they galloped on horses. The people caught in the quilt were released into the air like a kite.

Zhang Yiren gritted his teeth, ran over to untie his horse, got on his horse, and turned his head again, only to see the old chief and the others supporting each other and walking towards the earthen house.

"While running, remove the armor at the same time, so that the horse can run faster!" Lao Shichang yelled loudly.

"I know!" Zhang Ren responded loudly with tears in his voice.

In the earthen hut, Mr. Shi patted the corpses of Wang Qinian and Zhou Yi lying on the bunk, and said with a smile: "We came out together, and we will be buried here together today."

Looking back at the few people around him, he said, "I let Zhang Xiucai run, do you have any objections? There is only one horse, whoever can ride and run will have the greatest chance of survival."

"No objection!" Lu He said with a smile, "We are rough people, it's a pity that the scholar is dead."

The old chief nodded and said: "I am also particular about this. Although Zhang Xiucai is a tall man, he has no airs. He gets along with us and doesn't look down on us. This guy has fought wars and is now a good fighter. , as long as such a person does not die, he will be promoted sooner or later, we are all mud legs, what can we do if we escape, help other brothers' families to farm?"

Several people in the room laughed.

"Mr. Xiucai escaped and became a high-ranking official in the future. I will not forget that today our brothers gave him the chance to survive. At that time, he only needs to support him a little bit. Our descendants will not talk about prosperity, At least they have no worries about food and clothing! Do you understand what I mean?"

"Boss, we have been listening to you for so many years, and of course we will listen to you now."

"It's okay if you don't listen, the enemy is coming." Going to the window and looking, the old man scolded: "Ge Laozi's, and Liao people. Fuck you, brothers, fight with them!"

There was the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and a flying claw flew out and landed on the adobe roof. Then, accompanied by laughter, the thatch on the roof disappeared, and even the beams were torn away.

Unmoved, the old chief raised the god arm crossbow in his hand, raised it, and shot.

With a crash, a cavalry fell off his horse.

The sound of Liao Qi shouting and cursing came from outside.

"Damn it, do you really think that I'm muddy? Xiao Bo's head was beheaded, and I also have a share!" Lao Shi looked triumphant, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, someone behind him handed him a well-wound magic arm crossbow.

Aim, shoot.

Another fall from the horse.

Then came a stormy counterattack.

Inside the small window, the only thing Lao Shichang could see was densely packed feather arrows, so he quickly shrank back.

More than a dozen feathered arrows shot into the earthen house through the window.

"It's so dangerous!" The old man who was standing against the wall made a grimace at the people in the room. "Killed two!"

After saying this, there was a bang from outside, and Lao Shi's long voice stopped abruptly.

"Boss!"

Startled, Lu He reached out to hold the outstretched hand of Old Shichang, and pulled it hard. Lao Shichang jumped forward, and behind him, a spear was slowly retracting from the earthen wall.

This shot actually penetrated through the earthen wall, and then pierced through the armor on Lao Shichang's body.

"He's going to die!" Old Shichang said with blood dripping from his mouth, "It's so powerful, we can't beat him!"

For an enemy with this ability, there is indeed no one in this room who is his opponent.

"Luhe, there's oil in the tank, it won't work in the end, don't forget to light a fire, let's chop off the heads of the Liao people to make Jingguan, don't let them chop off our heads too. No more Ghost in the head, if you go back to your hometown, your relatives will not recognize you!" Lao Shichang's voice became lower and lower, and finally he straightened himself up, and then he softened.

Zhang Renqi cried loudly on the horse.

Looking back, the shadow of the outpost was no longer visible, but the rising black smoke went straight into the sky, which was still clearly visible.

He knew that they were all gone.

I will avenge you, I will avenge you!
He kept shouting in his heart.

July [-]th, Hungry Ghost Festival.

One month earlier than the Jiangning court expected the enemy's possible attack, Qi and Zhao's two Liao vassal regimes launched an attack together. In the direction of Chuqiu and Kaocheng, Qu Zhen and Liu Yu each gathered about [-] soldiers. The horse launched a sudden attack on the Song army.And as the vanguard of their attack, it was actually the Liao cavalry.

It was precisely because of the sudden attack of the Liao cavalry that many parts of the Song army's front line failed to respond in time, and suffered a lot of losses, so they had to retreat slowly.The Song army on the eastern front retreated to the vicinity of Sui County to stabilize its position, while the northern front retreated through Bianqu.

Jiangning Mansion, Stone City, the first auxiliary hall.

Xiao Cheng stood in front of the huge map. The two red arrows represented the direction of the enemy's attack. Yang Wanfu, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was explaining the confrontation form of the two sides to the big bosses present.

"The Liao people were the pioneers, and they took advantage of the great mobility of the Liao cavalry to catch us by surprise!" Xiao Cheng said, "This is really beyond our expectations. Yeluzhen is really a good opponent."

For a long time, the Song Dynasty believed that the Liao people would drive the puppet Qi and puppet Zhao as the vanguard to wear down the strength of the Song army, but this time, they did the opposite, using the elite Liao army cavalry as the vanguard, and then The puppet Zhao and puppet Qi troops followed up slowly.

"The puppet Zhao and the puppet Qi have cooperated tacitly this time. It has been more than half a month since the two armies marched, but they are still going hand in hand, and none of them has emerged. This makes Wei Wu's original plan to concentrate on attacking one of them bankrupt. "Yang Wanfu said: "Yeluzhen is going to advance step by step this time, and the lower officials estimate that the cavalry of the Liao army will only be used as maneuvers, and it is impossible to charge forward like before. After all, we have already slowed down. , and repeat the old tricks, you will suffer a lot.”

"What is our biggest problem?"

"Insufficient troops!" Yang Wanfu said directly. "The recruiting law has only been implemented for less than half a year, and the newly recruited soldiers generally do not have strong combat effectiveness. If they are sent to the battlefield at this time, the loss will be great. Therefore, the chief assistant, I suggest, transfer the Tiannan Army, Tianping Army and Liu Yiguo's army under the command of Ten Thousand Liangguang will go north to fight. This battle will definitely be long and arduous, and as long as we survive this half a year, our new army will be able to make up for the gap one after another."

"If Tiannan Tianping and the main forces of Guangdong and Guangxi are gone, what's the situation in the south?"

"Shoufu, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi, the law of recruiting troops was implemented earlier, and these few troops left, even relying on the regiment training and armor protection there is enough to maintain local law and order. As for the border, hehe, we don't make trouble, they have already Thank goodness. Those pioneer groups are enough to deter the surrounding small countries."

"Then let's do this!" Xiao Cheng turned his head and looked at Lu Wenhuan: "Lu Shangshu, first transfer these troops to the north. In addition, Shi Congming's department must also be prepared to enter the Jingdong area to fight, and it is not indecent to come and go. Liu If you want to fight, we will let him bloom everywhere!"
