Song Dynasty

Chapter 19
Soon, the thieves fled five hundred paces away, stopped, huddled together in a mess, shouting and shouting, I don't know what they were talking about?
There are too many of them, even if they retreat, it still looks like a dense mass of darkness, giving people a lot of pressure.

At this time, the corpse lying fifty steps away from Wang Shen and the others was gurgling blood.

More and more, gradually gathered together, flowing towards the warehouse along the terrain.

In a blink of an eye, Wang Shen's shoes were soaked by the black-red liquid.If there is no mistake in counting, the salvo just now killed at least a hundred bandits.In other words, every two shots of the Divine Arm Bow are harvesting a human life. Such a high efficiency is simply a human flesh harvester.

Feeling the slippery and sticky human blood under his feet, the hairs on the always bold Wang Shen stood on end.After traveling to the Song Dynasty, he killed eight people one after another in order to survive. He originally thought that his will was as hard as a stone.But compared with the cruel scene of life and death in front of him, what is the head of Yi Jie's beast?
This is just the beginning, and there are still [-] feather arrows in the warehouse. After a whole day, it is unknown how many people will die under the arrows of such a big killer bow.

Among the more than 200 soldiers of the supply battalion and civilian husbands present, only Gu Lie and other few people had experienced real wars. When they first came into contact with the enemy, they were frightened out of their wits.But once it was opened, a strange flush appeared on everyone's face, and their spirits were absolutely excited.

Probably the adrenal hormones secreted in a large amount exhausted the strength of the body. When the bandit army retreated, everyone stared at the front, and no one spoke for a long time.

Wang Shen glanced at the half-grown child beside him: "Soldier, what's your name?"

"Back... back to Commander, I... I, I, my name is Wang Danian."

"How?" Wang Shen asked.

"Commander, I, I, I..."

Wang Shen: "Wang Danian, isn't this easy to fight? You just need to obey orders, and you don't even need to open your eyes. I saw clearly just now, you shot and killed a thief with your own hands."

Wang Danian was stunned: "Did I really kill someone?"

Wang Shen laughed loudly and glanced at the crowd: "Everyone can see clearly that although there are many thieves, they are nothing special. Even if I close my eyes, I can still win. If you don't believe me, you will follow Wang Danian's example and cover your eyes later. .”

Everyone was shocked and exclaimed in unison: "Don't dare!"

"It's okay to try."

"General Wang, you can't make it... Haha, haha!" More than 200 men laughed at the same time.

The laughter was full of reverence for Wang Shen and confidence in winning this victory.

Everyone knows that if it wasn't for Wang Shenwang's commander today, the corpse lying in front of him might already be his own.This man is not only brave, but also very powerful in battle.In this wave of attack just now, hundreds of thieves were killed, but none of us were killed or injured here. It's amazing, it's amazing!
With such an official, we can all survive.

In an instant, everyone in this mob radiated a powerful aura, as if they were elites who had experienced many battles.

Wang Shen nodded secretly: Yes, there are no natural soldiers, anyone would be afraid to go to the battlefield for the first time.But as long as they see blood, their eyes will turn red. Isn't that how elites are trained?In particular, the ancients were honest and honest, and they were qualified soldiers.Their guts are coming up, but what about me...

Looking at the fallen corpses in front of the battle, seeing the red eyes, Wang Shen felt like vomiting. War is not as romantic as imagined before!

Fortunately, I am a time traveler, so I know what Li Yu's bandit army is on the opposite side.If you deal with it well, and rely on the power of the divine arm bow, it is not difficult to guard for a day.

Yes, in real history, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of bandits everywhere was very weak.

As far as the fighting power of these rogues is concerned, they are divided into three grades.

The first gear is Li Cheng, Cao Cheng and Kong Yanzhou. They used to be Hebei Dahao.Hebei was a war zone where the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom repeatedly saw each other. After fighting for hundreds of years, local tyrants from all over the country built fortresses to protect themselves, and their servants were very capable of fighting.After the Jingkang State Change, the two joined Si Zongze, who stayed behind in Tokyo, and were supplemented by remnants of the Western Army who were exiled in Henan. After training with the military methods of the Song Army, their combat effectiveness was very strong.

The second block is Zhang Yong and Wang Shan. Most of their subordinates are refugees from various places.However, after training with Zongze, it can be considered a regular army.

But even these two grades of bandit troops were beaten to the point of disgrace when they encountered Yue Fei's two hundred cavalry during the Battle of Nanxunmen in Kaifeng.

As for Li Yu's army, it was similar to the Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. They didn't understand the art of war at all, they just walked and eaten all the way like locusts, constantly threatening the people everywhere, like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger.

Such an army is not worth mentioning at all, but it is strange to say that when he was in Huaibei, Liu Guangshi was defeated by him and almost became a prisoner of others.

Later, Wang De, the number one general of the Huaixi Army, bravely killed the enemy, defeated the bandit army, rescued Liu Guangshi, and won an unprecedented victory.

At that time, Li Yu had [-] troops, while Wang De had only a few hundred elites.

The gap between the refugees and the regular army is just that big.

Now Wang Shen's two hundred or so men are armed with iron armor, a magic arm bow, and suitable tactics. He doesn't think it is difficult to guard the treasury of Pingyuan Town.What Yue Fei and Wang De can do can also be done by themselves.

The battle just now also proved this point: Li Yujun is a bunch of trash.

Wang Shen took a gamble, and the facts proved that this bet might win.

……

Dark clouds all around, no wind.Wearing thick armor, it's like being in a steamer, sweating out one after another.

Wang Shen ordered someone to bring over the boiled salt and tea to quench the soldiers' thirst, and handed over the command of the first team to a chief. After walking to the back of the battle, he took a ladle of water from a bucket and drank it in big gulps. .

A man came over and bowed his hands to him: "Brother Wang is a good soldier, and these two hundred miscellaneous soldiers are in your hands, just like our old Western army. I admire you! This time, I am happy to win."

It was Gu Lie who came, this veteran soldier's feet were covered with wet mud mixed with human blood, and he kept scraping the soles of his feet on the steps of the warehouse door.

Wang Shen: "Winning this battle is not easy. There are tens of thousands of enemies, and it is impossible to kill them all. We also have a shortcoming. It would be great if we had cavalry. It only takes a burst of random shooting to disrupt the positions of the bandits, and a charge. defeat the enemy."

"There are cavalrymen who are talking about a ball." Gu Lie smiled and said: "Brother Wang, the way you fought just now is exactly the way of our Western Army, which team you have fought in before, maybe we can still be a fellow. "

Wang Shen: "Gu Dutou, do you hear my accent sound like someone from Qin?"

Gu Lie slapped his forehead: "I really forgot, brother Wang, your accent sounds like a Yan people, maybe you are a Khitan, and the Khitan and our Western Army fight in the same way. It must be, you are from the Liao Kingdom Han people?" At this point, Gu Lie looked skeptical.

Wang Shen: "I'm too lazy to talk to you."

"What Khitan?" Lu Can and An Niang came over, bowed deeply, and said excitedly: "Dao Si, I just fought, and I have no master. It is thanks to you that I can defeat the bandits. I didn't expect your military skills to be so good. Look! Come on, I did the right thing in entrusting the troops to you. Live today, guard the treasury, and I will report to Uncle Liu Ping your achievements and hand over this army to you. Now that the state affairs are like this, what is most lacking is you. A brave general who knows how to fight."

Wang Shen helped him up: "Ziyu, this day is still long, let's live on first. You and An Niang go back to the storehouse and get everyone some food. The soldiers are hungry and weak. How can we survive?" war?"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you here." Lu Can yelled for a long time just now, but he didn't shoot an arrow. Instead, he made himself sore and weak, and couldn't bear it immediately.He also wanted to understand that even though he was good at martial arts, he was indeed not suitable for war.Rather than adding chaos here, it is better to do some logistics work.

While talking, there was a fierce drumbeat from the bandit brigade over there.

Lu Can was startled: "The thief is about to attack again."

Wang Shen: "Don't worry."

He walked to the middle of the team and shouted loudly: "Okay, everyone has almost had a rest. I know that everyone's brains were confused in the first battle, and they didn't enjoy the fight. Now, I will let you see what is meant by the first battle." War, what is chopping melons and vegetables?"

Everyone shouted: "May General Wang follow suit!"

Beside him, Gu Lie stabbed Wang Shen with his hands: "Brother Wang is a real hero, but Marquis Lu Yu is in chaos, and he will only command blindly when encountering troubles. That's right, who is Marquis Lu Yu, Liu Guangshi personally wrote a letter It doesn’t matter if you can knock it down or not. As for us little pawns, we are dead if we die, no one cares.”

Wang Shen: "No one is born to fight, you underestimate Lu Ziyu."

"Hey, anyway, if I go to the battlefield, I don't want to have such a boss. If I can choose, I would like to follow you, Brother Wang, at least I won't die... But, you are not a commander." Gu Lie smiled but not smiled: " Hey, what the hell is going on over there?"

The voice was full of surprise, Wang Shen followed his fingers and looked over, only to see that Li Yu's bandit army in the distance started to commotion again.

About 10 to [-] minutes had passed since the enemy retreated last time, the dust had settled all over the sky, and the situation in the bandit army could be clearly seen.

I saw that the crowd of thieves suddenly separated to the two sides, and about a hundred men in gorgeous clothes came out from the middle.These people were dressed strangely, with bare arms, green linen cloths, red scarves on their heads, and large swords with rings on their backs.A long bolt of red satin was tied to the ring, hanging limply over his shoulders.

All the shirtless men in green shirts were holding earthen jars in their hands. Incense sticks were lit in the jars, and green smoke curled up.

"What is this?" Wang Shen asked suspiciously.

"Maybe it's a daredevil?" Gu Lie couldn't be sure, and was about to say, but was interrupted by a high-pitched horn.
