A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 640: Crossbow Formation, Wen Tian and Wu Xi’s Liao Kingdom
The climate in the northwest is somewhat dry, but it is different here in Fuzhou.
A Yellow River flows through the middle and splits the place. On one side is Linfu Road on the other side of Guxuan, and on the other side is the Baode Army.
The position of the Baode Army was somewhat embarrassing. As the first line of defense against the Yellow River, they were located under a mountain. Their territory in front of the Yellow River was very narrow and difficult to maneuver.
The advantage of having a small territory is that they can detect any disturbance on the other side of the Yellow River immediately.
So when they found that the gate of Fuzhou City was open, they all thought that they were coming to drive away the Liao warships.
The capital commander Xu Ke stood on the bank of the Yellow River, waving his hand and saying: "Don't draw your bow."
The crossbows behind him all released their bowstrings.
"Military Commander, these Liao people are so arrogant!"
Xu Ke said lazily: "There are less than 600 people. Why are they so arrogant? They are just here to explore the road."
"Military leader, the Zhejia people on the other side are planning to drive them away. Can we cooperate?"
The two sides face each other across the river, but the Zhe family is a local snake, but this side is not.
The same is true for the generals who have solid camps and flowing soldiers. All the generals have no friendship with the Zhe family.
"No need...but it's okay to show off, so as not to be impeached, and then follow up with a few shouts."
Xu Ke felt that Zhe Jizu was just messing around, and it would be better to take a nap if he had this time.
The long-term peace caused the Song Dynasty's army to gradually lose its military courage. Wen Tian's Wu Xi is the most true portrayal.
"They...what are they doing?"
An exclamation from his men made Xu Ke look up, and he was also shocked.
Those Fuzhou sergeants have already begun to prepare the crossbow array...
Damn it!
Zhe Jizu, what the hell do you want to do?
Xu Ke said in a panic: "It's fake...to scare the Liao people."
General Liao thought so too, so he was very calm.
"What are the Song people doing?"
"This is to scare us!"
"Look, they're coming!"
The Song Army's crossbow array was approaching step by step.
General Liao sneered and said: "Let the ship above dock and go ashore to scare them..."
There was a ship waiting upstream, and after waving its flag a few times, it moved closer.
Song Jun was a little nervous, and someone was mumbling.
"After the defeat at Gaolianghe, I never fought against the Liao people again... Have you ever fought against them?"
"Will they retaliate?"
What the weak fear most when facing the strong is revenge, and revenge is also the repertoire of the strong to intimidate the weak.
Tang Ren was walking at the front with a long knife. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he asked: "Is it possible to shoot them here?"
Zhe Jizu was a little nervous, "Yes. But..."
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
Tang Ren suddenly shouted.
The Song Army's crossbow formation was startled, and then its habitual obedience to the order took effect.
Because the distance is very close, the crossbow bow is tilted at a relatively large angle, and then the crossbow machine is triggered...
When black clouds appeared in the sky, General Liao's expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Go back! Go back!"
The arrogance and self-confidence just now have all dissipated, and now the Liao people's faces are full of despair.
"Help!"
Someone squatted down, trying to use the body of his comrade to avoid the crossbow arrows.
Someone pulled out a long knife in panic, preparing to block the crossbow arrows. But the crossbow is very fast, so this is just useless work.
"Run!"
What would be the consequences of being attacked by a crossbow array on an immovable ship?
Everyone knows that desperate times are coming.
The sound of popping was endless, and the Liao people began to jump into the river to escape.
The boatman rowed without hesitation, and the fleet began to turn...
But these actions are useless at the speed of the crossbow.
Black clouds rushed over. Some people raised their shields and screamed. Some people waved their swords randomly. Some people jumped into the river out of fear...
Puff puff……
In an instant, it was as if a small tree had been planted on these boats. The Liao soldiers who had been hit by arrows screamed and fell into the water, but their colleagues did not lend a helping hand.
"Zhe Jizu is crazy!"
General Liao escaped by hiding behind his shield. He stared blankly at Zhe Jizu on the shore, and suddenly pointed at Tang Ren and shouted: "Why would Zhe Jizu dare to shoot arrows when there are civil servants here..."
In the eyes of the Liao people, the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were probably the weakest and could be bullied, and they never dared to resist.
But there was a civil servant on the shore. Not only did he not stop him, but his face turned red with excitement, as if he had discovered a peerless beauty smiling at him.
That is Tang Ren.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
When he came to Fuzhou from Bianliang, he only wanted to fight with the Xixia people, but if Li Liangzuo didn't come here, he could only stay there, hoping to be transferred back to Bianliang in three years.
Now the Xixia people have not come, but the Liao people have come.
The crossbow arrows took off again, and the Liao fleet had turned around and began to flee crazily.
"Come back!"
Tang Ren has gone completely crazy. He waved the long knife, his cuffs slipped down, and half of his arms were exposed. He looked up to the sky and shouted: "You bastard, come on! Come to Grandpa Tang and see how Grandpa Tang kills people!"
The Liao army's fleet was fleeing crazily, and the Baode army on the other side was dumbfounded.
How dare they kill Liao people?
Xu Ke stood there blankly, with various thoughts surging in his mind.
"Military leader, are they crazy?"
The men all panicked, and someone said: "If the Liao army retaliates, the Baode army will bear the brunt!"
"Isn't it Fuzhou?"
"Can Fuzhou withstand a blow from the Liao army? Don't you want to vent your anger in the end? If there is a war between Song and Liao... then Zhe Jizu will be the sinner!"
"The Song-Liao war... can we win it?"
"shut up!"
Xu Ke drank his men distractedly, and then looked at the fleet.
The Liao people's fleet was rushing away, and the Liao people who fell into the water on the river were calling for help.
There are Liao people floating around everywhere... What to do about this?
"Military leader, are you going to rescue them?"
Xu Ke shook his head, "What should I do if these people are rescued? Can they be captured? If they are released, some people will say that they are indulging in the enemy. Since they are in a dilemma, then just leave them alone."
"Military leader, over there...over there..."
Xu Ke followed the fingers of his men and saw the civil servant holding a long knife and rushing towards the Liao army that had landed earlier.
"Is this... Tang Ren?"
"Yes, it's him!"
The spring breeze in the northwest was still cold, but Tang Ren felt hot all over his body.
He ran away wildly, and the Liao soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw how crazy he was, and then formed a formation.
They didn't escape because the time between returning to the ship and leaving was enough for the Song people to fire their crossbows several times.
This was an elite reaction. Tang Ren didn't know it, but Zhe Jizu knew it, so he led a team of sergeants to surpass Tang Ren and charge in first.
The blood was flowing wildly, reminding Tang Ren of his experience when he knocked down the assassin outside Bianliang City.
"Kill the enemy!"
The top official on Linfu Road is killing the enemy. What do other people think?
"Kill the enemy!"
All the soldiers burst out with great enthusiasm, and they dispersed the thirty or so people in an instant.
A Liao soldier was turning back when Tang Ren sneaked up from behind and slashed him with his sword.
"clang!"
This Liao army was a veteran. He blocked Tang Ren's attack very neatly and then prepared to counterattack.
This was Tang Ren's first time in battle, but he didn't panic at all.
"Qianjia!"
The sergeants were all panicked. Some were bending their bows and arrows, but Tang Ren was faster.
"I'll kill you!"
Tang Ren's long knife was blocked. He let go, then rushed over and bit his opponent's face...
"Ouch..."
A beast-like howl echoed on the banks of the Yellow River. Zhe Jizu turned around and looked at this scene, and couldn't help but praise: "What a great commander!"
When Tang Ren stood up, there was blood at the corners of his mouth and chin.
He looked at the riverside where corpses were strewn, and shouted: "Is this a Liao person?"
Zhe Jizu's heart moved and he said: "Yes, the elite of the Liao people."
Tang Ren smiled and said: "What a bullshit elite. We killed them all in two strikes. It shows that the Liao army is not scary. The scary thing is that we ourselves were scared first."
This is to encourage everyone.
"Big victory! Reward the whole army today!"
Tang Ren's words aroused emotions. The sergeants cheered, and the sound spread to the fleet in the distance.
"Song people are crazy!"
The Liao general's face turned pale. He knew that he would be in trouble if he returned, so he said, "You have all seen that the civil servants of the Song Dynasty are going crazy."
The injured were screaming, the uninjured were trembling, and they had not yet recovered from the fear of being covered in crossbow arrows.
These people are indeed elite, but the long peace also makes them inexperienced.
"Yes, the civil servants of the Song Dynasty are crazy."
Tang Ren's madness on the shore left a deep impression on everyone, breaking the inherent impression left by the civil servants of the Song Dynasty.
Someone said: "But we are crossing the border..."
Song and Liao were peaceful, but border crossings occurred from time to time, so no one thought about being attacked by the Song people.
"And it's a waterway."
The Song people were afraid of Liao attacks from waterways. This was not a secret, but rather a laughing stock among the Liao people.
At this time, a boat came up, and before it got close, it shouted: "It's Tang Ren in Fuzhou City, and it's Tang Ren from that ceremony, asking you to go back..."
General Liao finally shed tears when he looked at his men who suffered heavy losses.
"Tang Ren... used to be in charge of the Liyuan and was very familiar with the envoy from Daliao."
Everyone was stunned. General Liao raised his head, his face full of annoyance: "This person was taught by Shen An. Shen An... is a lunatic!"
Everyone remembered the Battle of Xiongzhou. Shen An was really brave. He actually killed all the elite Liao troops in one night and had the audacity to build the Jingguan.
Such a bold guy, what kind of people will he teach?
Birds of a feather flock together!
General Liao said regretfully: "Why didn't you send the news earlier? Why?"
When the ship came closer, he couldn't help but froze when he saw their miserable appearance, and then said: "I reported it a long time ago, but... but this news was thrown in the box."
"Grass mud horse!"
"How could such a big event be forgotten?"
"You need to know the nature of the enemy general before the battle. Only then can you be sure. But what did they do? They missed this information. Damn it!"
These defeated troops shouted and cursed one after another, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The Liao generals were the loudest.
"This is murder! Someone is trying to murder us!"
"Go back and settle the score with them!"
Every strong country will gradually weaken, and the beginning must be Wentian and Wuxi.
This was true for the Song Dynasty, and so was the Liao Kingdom!
…
The Fuzhou Army was still cleaning the battlefield, and someone asked: "What should we do with the Liao people in the river?"
Tang Ren's excitement was over, and he said calmly: "Go and cut off the ears, and the rest... feed the fish!"
So the fate of those Liao troops was doomed. After a while, the calls for help gradually disappeared, and they were all drowned in the river.
At this time, someone came by boat from the other side.
"Zhizhou, it's Xu Ke!"
