Shao Song

Chapter 229

Wu Jie touched his helmet to measure the temperature, made a hand-to-hand assault, and defeated the Golden Army.

After the First World War, the two sides turned upside down and fled to the second camp of Huagou, relying on the support of the Han'er military bow and crossbowmen to stop the defeat, but Wanyan Sa Liyai was in the heat of the body. Cool down.

Because by now, he was quite sure that he could not take down Fangzhou City within the time limit, that is, before tomorrow.

Not because of the defeat before this battle.

In all fairness, it’s nothing to lose a battle, and it’s nothing to be thrown out like a rabbit. Victory and defeating soldiers is a common truth on the battlefield... I really want to say that the one being thrown out is like a rabbit. Is it the same?

Three wars and three defeats, who is it that crashed all the way to here?

If you lose, you can fight back again after you learn Wu Jie's shame next time.

Therefore, the problem is not in the future, but in the present: when the defenders who have the right place dare to counterattack, dare to fight hand-to-hand, and are able to win, it means that the morale and morale of the defenders have reached a certain level. At this time, it would seem ridiculous to want to conquer this city by intimidation and non-consumable means.

And the state of Fangzhou City, if it is pure consumption, how many lives must be filled in? How long does it take?

However, Sa Liyue can't just retreat like that... It's okay to go back and be ridiculed by Su Hesu and others. The key is that there is a military order to break the city for three days!

Going back in this way angered Lou's room, and was really cut to use the right military law. Who can save himself?

Of course, I dare not cover up today's failure.

Ever since, in the evening, Sa Libo still bit the bullet and sent out a message to Hekou Daying, explaining the situation of the battle, and requesting the next step... The original story was that he asked General Lou Shi to do the tactics for him. guide'.

When the night fell on this day, Lou Shi really sent instructions.

"The three-day deadline has not expired, there is no new order, and the previous order should be followed?" Sa Liyue was dumbfounded. "Does that mean to let me continue to attack mountains and cities?"

"Probably that's what I mean?" Wanyan Mouyan didn't look at Sa Liyue, but his eyes were erratic. He was attracted by the chaos of the wounded and deserters of the Golden Army around him. He obviously had the task of observing the military situation. "The father-in-chief only has these words."

Sa Li Drink was completely speechless.

But Mouyan didn't wait much, he slightly bowed his hand when he saw this, and then asked a few familiar officers in the camp, and went straight back to Hekou Camp overnight.

Without mentioning it that night, early the next morning, Sa Liyin prepared his troops and continued to turn to the west, preparing to execute the military order. He didn't dare to really test Lou Shi's patience.

However, this cold-faced Langjun once again traveled to Fangzhou City, and first saw the burnt-out remains of his own army village. He was full of powerlessness. He could have passed the burned army village until yesterday. Within the main battlefield, there was actually another fear... It turned out that the Song army naturally did not forget to clean the battlefield when it evacuated, so the armor, clothing, and weapons on the golden army's corpse were almost stripped out. Not only that, almost every time. The head of a corpse was also chopped off for military service, so that headless naked corpses were scattered everywhere.

No way, on the battlefield, this situation was what was expected, but Song Jun knew that his field ability was insufficient and was afraid of being counterattacked, so he didn't have time to concentrate on incineration or bury the corpses, so he looked so messy and barbaric. Switching to the Golden Army, there are too many but too late. Because the Golden Army, as the aggressor, in order to deter and plunder, there will often be large-scale and systematic massacres of cities and towns after the war, and then often designated fortresses and cities will be burned out, and even large-scale slavery will be arrested. behavior.

So Sa Liyue knew that he had no right to say that Song Jun's move was barbaric.

However, returning to the present moment, the Jin army gathered the corpses of his own side along the way, gathered and incinerated them in a unified manner, but as the troops were marching, watching this situation, their mentality inevitably changed drastically. After all, they usually do this kind of thing to deter others. Today, when they encounter this incident, only to realize that they are no different from the enemies who were frightened before...the same fear, the same hatred, and the same numbness. The same will be at a loss.

This was just an ordinary sergeant's thought. For the officer or Sa Liyue, this psychological suffering did not end here... Before Sa Liyue entered the city, he had already found himself in a dilemma.

The Jinjun Wanhu clearly knew that it was impossible to capture the Song Army's position in a short time, but because there was a serious military order issued by the Lou room behind, he had to personally push his son Lang into this death channel again! And these people, these living people, are likely to become the kind of headless naked corpses again!

It’s no wonder that Sa Liyue was sentimental. He followed Agu’s childhood, followed Nianhan, and then Lou Shi. He always only needed to follow orders to charge, and he could enjoy the glory of the victor. He never had to consider the consequences of defeat. I never expected to encounter such a thing, and he always trampled on the lives of others.

Therefore, when facing the battle, at that moment, Wan Yan Sa Li Drink hesitated.

Reason and the military education he received from his childhood told him that only to maintain the stance of the Daikin army and the morale of this expedition, a little bit of Erlang's life is not worth mentioning, not to mention that there is something from him. Military law and the pressure of the coach. But yesterday's defeat, and the violent casualties in just two days, still made the youngest 10,000 of the West Route Army fearful.

This fear is not a personal fear of death, but a commander's on-the-spot confusion... It may be fine tomorrow, but today is lost.

"Wanhu..." Someone stepped forward to warn carefully.

"Before the weather is hot, attack first." Wanyan Sa Libo saw his subordinates take the initiative to inquire, but was agitated suddenly, and then forcibly restored the posture of the cold-faced Langjun, and made the most rational and most rational attitude. A measure that fits the identity. "Three tricks..."

"Three tricks must be useless." The subordinates reminded him sternly.

"That...five!" Sa Liyak took a deep breath, but ordered loudly as if he had made some determination. "Five Mock, let the few draws that did not participate in the previous two days go up! Bring all the remaining big shields! Let the Han'er army also go up, and follow with the only god-arm bow, and go to the foot of the mountain to meet the Song people. Cover the shooting!"

"Insufficient shields..." the subordinate reminded carefully again.

"If you don't have a shield, bring a plank!" Sa Li drink was immediately solemn. "If the planks are not enough, just wear double armor!"

The military order was clear and resolute, and even showed a bit of wisdom and momentum, and as the so-called will be the courage of the military, the Jin Army also showed a bit of generosity.

Then, about less than five hundred soldiers of the Golden Army held a shield and lifted a wooden to bear short soldiers, or wore a double-layered iron armor and held a hard bow. One or two hundred of the so-called Han'er Army who came out of the Zhejia soldiers also held a crossbow. The extremely strict military discipline urged to rush to the "Road to Death", and then proceeded with the shield at a speed significantly slower than the previous two days... But unexpectedly, this time, the Song Army did not He launched a blow from a distance, but greeted this unprecedented saturation attack with a strange silence.

But there is no doubt that everyone knows that the Song Army’s crossbow will come sooner or later, which makes the Jin Army enter a state of severe shrinking, and the speed is getting slower and slower, and the atmosphere that was once rising is also suppressed. No way.

With this extreme depression, Sa Liyue's mood became more and more unbearable, but he always tensed his expression without any urging words or actions.

However, what should come is always coming.

A quarter of an hour later, the Jin Jun rushed to the front of the mountain and began to climb the top of the mountain. Although the Song Jun Junzhai on the top of the mountain was crowded, there was still no target. This made these well-trained Jin troops explode quickly under the encouragement of their commanders. Four or five hundred armored soldiers and the Han'er Army crossbowmen in the formation desperately climbed the mountain head, trying to grab into the military village... and this situation actually continued until a Puliyan wearing a double-layered armor raised a bow and shot him. After an arrow shot a Song army after the overhead crossbow machine fortification, it stopped.

Until this time, a team of more than a hundred Song Jun god-arm archers held the winding crossbow, and appeared in a more orderly and calm queue than the previous two days at the upper side of the Jin Jun.

The attacking Jin Jun also reacted almost immediately. After continuing to climb a step or two, almost all the shield-holding sergeants started to raise their shields, and those without shields took advantage of the situation to hide under the shield... and sure enough, As soon as the shield was completed, Song Jun over his head naturally carried out a salvo of the god-arm bow. Hundreds of crossbow arrows were nailed directly to the golden army's head by the strength of the god-arm bow and the addition of gravity from above.

The distance is too close!

Except for a handful of metal shields, most of the wooden shields and wooden boards were penetrated in the first time, and a few hapless people encountered crossbow bolts directly from the gaps in the shields. They were either dead or injured. They were basically nailed to the ground.

The wailing voice instantly overwhelmed the cheering shouts of the Golden Army commanders with a hint of excitement.

However, even if the voices of the commanders were covered, the Golden Army’s excellent tactical qualities urged these people to get up quickly at the end of the salvo, and they were ready to take advantage of the gap between the Song Army’s crossbow and try to get closer. In order to break the village... This is the closest they have been to the Song Jun Divine Arm Bow Team.

However, at the moment they lifted the shield, another round of crossbows arrived unexpectedly, and this time, the unprepared Golden Army immediately had an unprecedented drastic attrition. The sound of howling before the formation shocked everyone in an instant. .

But there was no time to think about it. It was just a moment. As another round of crossbows flew down, the wailing sound was reduced a lot, because many people were directly shot to death.

But that’s not even counted. Seeing the Song Army’s actions above him, the Jin Army at the lower end was completely flustered. In fear, he gave up the offensive and tried to turn around and flee despite the harsh military laws. However, the Song Army’s fourth round of Crossbow Arrows had arrived. Moreover, this round of volleys was directly concentrated and shot to the foot of the mountain, and in conjunction with the bed crossbow shot from the city on the opposite bank of the river, directly suppressed the golden army who was trying to escape.

Next, let all the hedgehogs gather on the mountainside, under the mountain, and even watch the battle from a distance. The Golden Army fell into a completely fearful posture. The rain of the god-arm bow arrow of the Song Army's frequency was unexpectedly non-stop for a while, and it was sprayed evenly like rain. But it was dense, even with a clear rhythm, pressing back and forth, firmly controlling hundreds of golden soldiers under the rain of arrows, and slaughtering them quickly and firmly.

This abnormal situation quickly alarmed Sa Liyue. The young Jinjun Wanhu heard the sound of these arrows from afar and felt wrong, but despite the danger, he personally climbed the hill and looked in the distance. After a while, he fell into a stunned seat, and was almost dragged down the hill by his guards... Besides, he had just seen clearly from above, and Song Jun actually adopted the unobstructed front of the mountain top military village in the distance. A simple but practical, but has been forbearing to use the alternate shooting tactics before.

Hundreds of crossbowmen, divided into three teams, fired a volley from the front and the crossbow at the rear. After shooting the crossbow in the front, a team behind them immediately stepped forward, and another team had already re-opened the crossbow with the assistance of the specialized auxiliary soldiers at the back... The three teams alternated. As the commander waved the flag, they took turns to shoot forward, or pointed at the gold army who tried to escape from the rear, or shot forward and tried to advance the warriors. The arrows were dense, and hundreds of gold soldiers who entered the range trap were crushed to death. You can't move at the foot of the mountain, you can only wait to die passively!

This is not a very exciting and difficult tactic, but its effectiveness for Sa Liyue, who has almost grown up in the army, is just a glance at the heart.

However, the problem is that no matter how clear Sa Libo is, he can't change the fate of his soldiers being slaughtered by such executions!

Days of fighting, day after day of casualties, loss of the attack the night before, yesterday was counterattacked by the Song army, today I saw the headless naked body thrown by the roadside, and I was so stubborn... the young Sa Li Drink could no longer support it, but he was still young. Qiu burst into tears behind his back, and the Jinjun Wanhu, who was still trying to be a cold-faced man before, instantly became a crying man.

But none of the Jin Guo officers around smirked, and some even cried bitterly along with them.

In this way, before noon, hundreds of golden soldiers were finally effectively slaughtered by the Song army, and the golden army suffered unprecedented killings... In the first two days, including yesterday's collapse, the golden army only died five or six hundred, more It was just the wounded, and on this day, facing the revelation of the Song Army's last card, the Jin Army lost five or six hundred lives next time, but completely lost the intent to fight.

Now, at least in the front line, no one wants to take this city, this mountain, or this village anymore.

After crying bitterly, Sa Liyi wiped away the tears and ordered the entire army to withdraw to a safe distance. They also set up crossbows and bows and arrows, but built a defensive position, and then sent a messenger to Hekou Camp for the third time.

This time, Wu Jie didn't try to assault again. On the contrary, he started to let the soldiers throw the heads of yesterday and the freshly harvested people from the mountain to anger the Golden Army, but the Golden Army was unattended.

And Lou Shi also didn't force Sa Liyue to continue to use his soldiers, instead, he and his deputy, Wan Yanba, came here before the evening and led thousands of people.

Lou Shi asked Qing about the battle situation and looked at the terrain and battlefield conditions from a safe distance. However, he did not criticize Sa Li for drinking, and of course he did not comfort him. He just sent a surrender to persuade him to surrender. He promised that Wu Ji would be the Jiedu ambassador of Jingyuan and Huanqing Road, and his brother Wu Lin would be the Jiedu ambassador of Yanju Road.

The surrender hurried away and returned. Unsurprisingly, Wu Jinqing rejected the proposal.

"He said that he wants him to be surrendered, unless it is Lou Shi who has beaten him one-on-one." The survivor turned pale, as if it were the heads of the golden army and the corpses on the road that caused him a violent psychological shock. .

"It's not impossible..." Lou Shi smiled slightly, actually wanting to agree.

But immediately, following the stunned look of Palisu, Lou Shi, who was regaining his clarity, immediately shook his head.

After answering this question, everyone could see that the undefeated star of the Kingdom of Jin was not so calm on the surface. He was also shocked by Wu Jie’s never-seeable killing method and war determination. , And he has also realized that if he wants to capture this city in a short period of time, there is really no hope.

But as the coach, Lou Shi also knows how much this nail nailed in this sensitive position will have on his strategy.

Therefore, at that moment, Lou Shi was really forced to kill Wu Jie by singles.

"What do you think?" After regaining his senses, Lou Shi sternly asked Pulling Speed, no longer paying attention to his short-term gaffe.

"Unless it is raining and the bowstrings of the Song Jun's **** arm bows are invalidated, it is time to exchange his life for the Song Jun's crossbow bolt reserve." Pulling away frankly faced each other.

"It won't rain in these few days." Lou Shi shook his head repeatedly, but immediately gave orders to Sa Liyue who was tear-stained on his face. "Try it one last..."

Sa Li Drink was almost desperate, but cried again on the spot.

"It's not for you to attack the mountain again, but to set the mountain on fire." Lou Shi pointed to the mountains to the north. "See if we can force them down the mountain by the fire."

Sa Liyue was relieved, and immediately took his orders.

As soon as this person left, Pulling Lisu again seriously confronted Lou Shi: "It is useless to burn the mountain...The cottage can be seen clearly from a distance, the surrounding trees are cleaned, and there is not much wind right now, and the fire cannot pass , It’s hard for cigarettes to pass."

"I know." Lou Shi squeezed the reins of the war horse in his hand and didn't even look at Pak Lisu. "But is there a second way at this time?"

Pulling the speed of silence for a moment, he continued to speak, "Then burn the mountain...but we should also make a decision soon! This city can't be attacked in a hurry, is Yaozhou and Huazhou unable to leave?"

This time it was Lou Shi's turn to be silent.

In this way, the two of them were at a safe distance of six or seven hundred steps from Fangzhou City and the mountain, each was speechless, and then watched the fire burn from the top of the mountain around Xiaoqiaoshan, and then helped by the high temperature in summer. The next stepped up quickly, and then burned half of the sky.

When the fire started, it was unstoppable, and it rolled to the surrounding hills, as if it had become a natural disaster. But just as Palisu said, the wind is not strong today, and Wu Jie has prepared for it. Although these fires are fierce, they have never licked the cottage with proper fire prevention measures.

Not only that, after Wu Jie saw the movement, he immediately responded by asking the soldiers to ignite carefully on the other side of the isolation belt where the trees were felled, and to form a fire zone in the opposite direction for avoidance. This action also took effect quickly. The fire easily took the nearest mountain and burned directly to the north of the mountain forest.

Lou Shi looked far away for a while and saw the fire head passing by with his own eyes. After all, he sighed softly in his heart. Then, without hesitation, he turned the horse's head and walked east, but suddenly he reined his horse and turned his head back: "Yeluma five hurriedly attacked Baishui. I have succeeded, let Sa Liyue rate five thousand soldiers and the wounded in this battle will stand firm at the Hekou Camp, let's move forward!"

Ba Lisu calculated his strength in his heart, his face turned black for a moment, but he said nothing, but after a glance at the unmoving cottage, he just turned and followed.

"You mean, the reason why these Western army generals flinched at me and didn't dare to say what they really wanted was because I often touched the sword during military discussions?"

In Chang'an City, Zhao Jiu, who had no knowledge of Wu Jie's shame and courage, had no knowledge of Fangzhou's success and great victory, frowned and looked at Yang Yizhong beside him.

After saying a word, even though he didn't look at the target at all, the arrow in his hand had already flew out, and then hit the bullseye in front.

Yang Yizhong looked at the flying arrow ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which was rare, but he quickly recovered his senses, with a serious face: "The good instructor knows that the ministers really heard so..."

"But why is it so?" Even so, Zhao Jiu still found it difficult to understand, and he continued to frown while bending the bow and shooting arrows again. "I don't remember that I used to touch the knife... I didn't wear the knife all day today."

"The minister took the liberty, probably because the official bow and arrow were not at his side a few days ago, and he had never practiced arrows. In addition, when he first came to Guanzhong, he felt anxious, so he would often touch the saber unconsciously, right?" . "But today, the officials have started to practice arrows again, so they just stopped wearing swords."

Zhao Jiu instinctively recognized this reason, and then nodded, taking advantage of the trend to put down the bow and arrow in his hand.

And the next moment, when Yang Yizhong was about to say something more, the official suddenly raised his bow and raised his hand, and directly shot a crow on the eaves looking left and right to the ground.

With such a wonderful archery skill, no one has to admit that this official is indeed good at shooting.
