Fu Song

Chapter 711 Chaos
(Happy New Year!)

The appearance of the cavalry of the Song Army caused a panic.

The sound of the horn sounded, and the team of escorting the food team quickly assembled, and the team of food delivery teams also led the cattle and horses to form a large circle at the fastest speed, unloaded the shafts, and drove the cattle and horses to the center of the circle, while the vehicles were used to drive the cattle and horses to the center of the circle. Build a circular position outside.

The pawns were waiting in full battle among the chariots, while the peasants squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms.

A branch of Ming Dy rose into the sky, and then exploded in the air, and dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky.

This is the food transport team asking for help from the large army.

Yelu Chengcai's headquarters has 4 soldiers and horses, plus other servants, the entire army attacking Yongcheng has as many as 4 people, and it is not a simple task to ensure the logistics supply of these [-] people. matter.

The rear is constantly transporting food to the front every day.

In order to raise enough food, the Liao people's excessive expropriation in the past two years has really made life difficult for the people under their rule.

In order to ensure the safety of this grain transportation route, thousands of cavalry also wandered on this road.

But the experienced Ren Zhong still found an opportunity to take advantage of.

This grain team has hundreds of carts and transports hundreds of thousands of catties of grain at one time. This is the grain of the frontline enemies for a few days. If they are destroyed, Yelu Chengcai's army will have to cut down on food and clothing.

And an army that doesn't have enough to eat can't talk about attacking the city.

Then Yongqiu can last for a few more days.

More than two hundred Liao cavalry bravely greeted the Song cavalry who were several times as many as them.

Knowing that their lives would be difficult to rush forward, they still had to do so because they needed to buy time for the large troops behind them.

If you run, you dare not run.

Yelu Chengcai has strict military discipline, if they lose food, they still have to lose their heads.

Ren Zhong raised the four-eyed gun in his hand.

Feathered arrows were flying in front of him, he lowered his body, but the hand holding the gun was still as steady as a rock.

The cavalry of the Liao Kingdom's grain guards were really good. On top of galloping horses, they were able to shoot arrows with a bow at a distance of a hundred paces, and their accuracy was quite good.

The feathered arrow landed on the armor stomach, clanging.

Green smoke curled up, and immediately, there was a thunderclap.

The Liao army cavalry on the opposite side fell off their horses one after another.

Ren Zhong straightened up, danced more than a dozen heavy four-eyed guns like a windmill with one hand, and rushed into the few remaining Liao army cavalry who had just been swept away by the four-eyed guns.

After the flood of cavalry passed by, except for a few Liao cavalry on both sides who escaped with their lives, all the rest turned into corpses on the ground.

In the past when Song and Liao confronted each other, it was extremely difficult for the cavalry of the Song army to fight against the cavalry of the Liao army. Few of the cavalry of the Song army could do the art of galloping and shooting.

It is extremely difficult to draw a bow on the back of a bumpy war horse, let alone get it right.

However, the appearance of the four-eyed blunderbuss, a gunpowder weapon, greatly made up for this weakness of the Song army.

The four-eyed blunderbuss does not require much aim, and the projectiles fired are piece by piece.

And the power, above a certain distance, is even greater than that of bows and arrows.

Ren Zhong rode his horse and galloped, took out a hand cannon from his waist, ignited the fuse, and with the help of horsepower, he raised his arm and threw it into the circle.

Dozens of hand cannons exploded in the circle, and the circle was destroyed without any effort.

The infantry and civilian husbands who were still alive inside ran away desperately.

After a while, flames ignited, and black smoke rose in puffs. The hundreds of carts of grain were all ignited.

Seeing the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, Ren Zhong laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go to Yongqiu and see how the brothers in the city deal with those northern barbarians!"

"General, if we go to Yongqiu City now, aren't we throwing ourselves into a trap?"

"Fuck you! We burned so much food for them, and most of their cavalry will come out to encircle us. There must not be many cavalry in Yongqiu city now, and cavalry is not very useful for attacking the city. Let's take a look, and Yelu will be mad at him." Chengcai, if you have the chance, poke his ass!"

The cavalry laughed loudly and galloped away.

By the time the cavalry of the Liao army arrived here, the fire was already uncontrollable. The general of the Liao army who led the team was so angry that they could smell the aroma of cooked food.

"Chasing, chasing after them, skinning them!" He shouted angrily and chased in the direction where Ren Zhong was escaping.

Ren Zhong turned a corner on the way.

The chasing Liao army was deceived by the ecstasy array he set up. He really didn't expect that Ren Zhong at this moment would dare to go to the city of Yongqiu, where tens of thousands of Liao troops are now gathered.

Yelu Chengcai stared at the dilapidated Yongqiu City in the distance.

It looks tattered, but it just stands.

It's been ten days, a whole ten days, a small city of Yongqiu still hasn't been taken down.

This is a situation he has never encountered since he owned a gunpowder weapon.

As the Queen Mother's confidant, Yelu Chengcai has no shortage of gunpowder weapons. In this respect, he is much richer than Yelu Longxu.

Zhang Ren in the city was obviously very well prepared, the city wall collapsed, but as soon as the attack stopped, the city could immediately use various things to plug the gap.

And it seemed that the damage the gunpowder brought to the opponent was obviously not as great as he expected.

And the gunpowder weapons in the city did real damage to them.

Up to now, although his direct troops have only taken on the tasks of containment and cover, and the main attack is still the servant army, the casualties are too great, which still has a great blow to the confidence of the entire army.

Furthermore, the Empress Dowager also said that in order to conquer the entire south, the effective use of the Han army is a problem that must be taken seriously. Just letting them die, I am afraid that it will make people centrifugal.

Next, it's time for the more powerful direct line troops to go up in person.

Fang Yuan vigorously pushed an ox cart that was stuck in the mud, and finally pushed the ox cart out amidst everyone's fear and yelling.

The road was good at first, but the heavy rain yesterday made the road muddy, and there were too many people walking, it finally turned into what it is now.

Both people and vehicles are struggling to move forward.

Even if it is raining, it dare not stop.

Because of the news from Yongqiu, they have been urging everyone to leave quickly.

Everyone understood that if it wasn't for the fact that Yongqiu was still desperately resisting at this moment, the Liao people might have chased after them.

Fang Yuan joined this team three days ago.

Ragged and hungry, Fang Yuan had just caught a cauliflower snake and was about to have a feast, when he saw this advancing team.

He was a refugee, and the team graciously accepted him.

This is the last group to leave Yongqiu. There are about 3000 people, men, women and children. There are more than [-] vehicles loaded with food, pots and pans and so on.

There are a lot of things to bring, which are very complicated, which makes the team walk very slowly.

No matter how anxious the accompanying sergeants and officials are, they can travel twenty or thirty miles a day at most.

To Fangyuan's surprise, the county magistrate of Yongqiu was also here.

That young man named Jin Huang has no airs of being an official. He eats, lives with everyone, and pushes the cart together. Now he is the same as Fang Yuan, covered in mud spots all over his body.

Like Jin Huang, it is the other officials of Yongqiu.

In the north, Fang Yuan had seen too many officials.

There is a world of difference from Jin Huang and the others.

If the officials in his hometown were like the county magistrate Jin Huang, then maybe he would not be left homeless, nor would he end up becoming a horse thief!
He couldn't help but think of his boss, Hu Fei, who used to be a scholar, and he became a bandit because he couldn't survive.

"Yuan Fang, come, have a cake!" Jin Huang said as he stretched out his hand to call Fang Yuan, who was hunched over.

Fang Yuan reversed his name one by one.

In the north, as Hu Fei's deputy, he was quite famous.

He will be called Yuan Fang in the future, and will make a complete cut with the past.

Unlike the other retreating people who all lived in families and cooked their own meals or brought dry food, Yuan Fang had nothing.For the past three days, he followed Jin Huang to do some chores in exchange for some food.

He tore off a small piece of the hard pancake and chewed it slowly in his mouth. He saw that Jin Huang and his subordinates were eating the same as himself.

Yuan Fang, who was eating the cake, suddenly raised his head and looked to one side,
He faintly heard the sound of horseshoes, and the ups and downs were extremely orderly. It must be the war horses that can have such a regularity.

A Liao cavalry squad suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The team instantly became confused.

The scout team of the Liao Army stopped in the distance and wandered slowly, and then seemed to realize that this team was just a group of ordinary people, and suddenly became a little excited.

They are slowly approaching.

"Team training is assembled! Ready to face the battle!" Jin Huang put the cake into his arms and shouted sharply. "Others wait, leave immediately, go, go!"

More than 100 young and strong people gathered around Jin Huang. They all carried weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows. Looking at the dozen or so scouts of the Liao Army at this moment, some were excited, while others were very nervous.

Fang Yuan opened his mouth, but he didn't say much after all.

Jin Huang was wrong. At this time, other people should not be allowed to leave, but everyone should be gathered together.

Only in this way can we resist the dozen or so scouts.

Don't look at the fact that there are only a dozen people on the other side, but there are more than 3000 people here.

But it was these ten scouts who were the real hunters.

If the opponent has enough courage, they only need to gallop their horses to harass and attack again and again, killing one or a few each time, and it will not take long before it will cause great chaos in the team, and as soon as chaos occurs, Those 3000 people are not much different from [-] sheep.

As for the more than a hundred young and strong, Fang Yuan didn't think they would be the opponents of these Liao army scouts.

Moreover, these Liao army scouts will inevitably bypass these young men and deal with the fleeing civilians first.

Those big cars that were reluctant to lose before are all gone now.

Originally, these carts were a good thing to stop the cavalry!

Fang Yuan felt a little helpless, he could only follow the team and run forward.

Sure enough, the scouts of the Liao army ignored Jin Huang and the others. They rode their horses around in a big circle and rushed to the front of the fleeing team.

These scouts were really very courageous, they even wanted to intercept all of them with just ten people.

Shocked and angry, Jin Huang led a group of more than a hundred young men, turned around and chased after him.

As Yuan Fang expected, the cavalry of the Liao army opened their bows and set up arrows, and started shooting from a distance.

When one after another fell under the feather arrows, the team became chaotic and panicked, and began to flee in all directions.

Fang Yuan sighed, bent down and picked up a hatchet on the ground.

He didn't want to reveal his identity, but in this situation, he couldn't guarantee that the Liao people would not attack him.

He was also running, and he looked no different from the rest of the people.

I won't be so unlucky, with so many people, how could I just pick myself!Fang Yuan comforted herself.

But right away, he wanted to slap himself.

It's just fucking insincere, could it be that his running posture is too handsome?
A Liao rider actually picked him.

I ran too fast.

He suddenly woke up.

He heard the sound of horseshoes in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw the ferocious smile of Liao people on the horse.

Yuan Fang stopped in his tracks, looking panic-stricken.

The horse's front hooves were raised high and fell heavily, the Liao cavalry wanted to trample Fangyuan to death.

The moment the horse's hooves fell, Liao Qi couldn't see the opponent's figure in his eyes.

Fang Yuan shifted his body and was already on the other side of the horse. He pressed the horse's buttocks with one hand, and the man jumped up and landed lightly behind Liao Qi, with the hatchet in his hand across the opponent's neck. On, just a pull, blood spurted out.

When he pushed the Liao rider off his horse, Fang Yuan had already snatched the opponent's longbow, quiver and knife.

These few ups and downs not only made the Liao soldiers in front of Ken a little dazed, but also made Jin Huang who was running back could hardly believe his eyes.

Was the one who killed Liao Qi like a chicken just now really Yuan Fang who has been silent for the past few days and only knows how to work hard?
Now that the secret has been revealed, Fang Yuan no longer hides anything.

Zhang Gong set up an arrow, and with a whoosh, a scout from the Liao Army who hadn't recovered from his surroundings screamed and fell off his horse.

After killing two people in a row, Fang Yuan didn't even talk, and directly broke his horse and ran towards the third one.

This group of scouts from the Liao Army was too greedy, a mere dozen or so people wanted to eat this big piece of fat.

They flew too scattered, and for a while, they couldn't get together even if they wanted to.

And the fleeing people also blocked the way they wanted to gather.

This gave Fang Yuan a chance to defeat each other.

Don't look at Fang Yuan who was beaten all over the place by the Song army in front of gunpowder weapons, but when he returned to this almost one-on-one confrontation where cold weapons were the mainstay, he was a serious and strong man.

Jin Huang took a deep look at Fang Yuan, who had killed another Liao cavalry, with a spear in his hand, he shouted loudly: "Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"

He took his men and rushed towards the nearest Liao Qi.

After losing several cavalry in a row, the remaining scouts of the Liao army fled far away on horseback, and Fang Yuan didn't have the strength to pursue them at this moment.

And once these people ran to an open place and gathered together, those who were going to be hunted down would probably become Fang Yuan.

Of course, Fang Yuan is not without helpers, because Jin Huang is engraved with a person who has joined Fang Yuan.
