039 reinforcements to Xue Cheng
This village is called Pingxiang Qiang Village, which belongs to the so-called White Dog Qiang, that is, the alias of Xiqiang distributed in the southwest region during the Tang Dynasty, also known as Shengqiang, 38 households, a total of more than 200 people.
The threat of "slaughtering the village" was indeed very effective, and most of the more than 200 people in the village were old and weak, women and children, and they were only seventy or eighty strong, and they could not withstand the attack of nearly 500 people at all. If it's just ** okay, even if they can't win, they can let ** pass, it's a big deal to surrender. But this time, I really met someone who eats raw rice, and if you don't surrender, you will slaughter the village, and you will be ruthless!
The Qiang people, who had no scruples, were a little hesitant, this person's tone was not like a joke, he didn't want to die, and his wife and children didn't care? The leader Jiang Yi was stunned and said angrily: "Boy, you can try, our Qiang village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we are not vegetarians!"
"Hehehe... Well, I'll grant your wishes! "Liu Yu is usually harmless to humans and animals, and kind to people; But he is not merciful to his enemies. If you dare to be unscrupulous, then be prepared to pay the price! Now Xue Cheng is in a hurry, either kill the enemy; Either die your own people, it's a good choice. Order: "Heavy machine guns ready, snipers come forward, ready to attack!"
At the sound of an order, the 25 squad leaders stepped forward and aimed in a kneeling position; Maxim was also erected on both sides, on higher ground, and was collectively loaded on standby. Captain Xu saw everyone kneeling on the ground with a stick, and said suspiciously: "Brother Liu, they are... What are you going to do? The Qiang people on the other side were also curious, guessing that these people were frightened by the leader, and smiled and pointed at the window.
"Shoot!" Liu Yu took the lead in firing the first shot, and with a crisp sound, the high-explosive warhead shot out, slashing through a distance of 300 meters, and hitting the face of a Qiang man from the window. Slurry splash. Immediately after that, "Bang Bang Bang...", "Bang Bang Bang...", the gunshots continued, and countless Qiang people were shot in the head in horror, and they didn't understand what the situation was before they died.
A three-hundred-meter headshot is a small kiss for a sniper, but unfortunately there are not enough targets, and some people are even exploded twice in a row. Maxim is extremely powerful, using a steel-core copper-armored heavy warhead, with a range of more than 2,500 meters and a rate of fire of 300 rounds per minute. The bullets dragged the flames and continued to shoot at the watchtower, and suddenly sparks flew everywhere, flying sand and rocks. The one-foot-thick stone bricks seemed to be solid, but they were vulnerable to heavy machine guns and were shattered.
The leader Jiang Yi was stupid, and the time of a flick of his fingers (common sense literacy: 7.2 seconds for a flick of a finger, 0.36 seconds for a moment, and 0.018 seconds for a flash), in a flick of his fingers, 3 people around him were shot in the head. Then another shuttle of machine gun bullets hit, and rubble flew everywhere, and he was also hit in the face by a small pebble, and he was bleeding profusely.
"Don't fight, don't fight, surrender, we surrender..." The pain made him sober up, and he quickly announced his surrender, if he continued to fight like this, everyone would be dying, and then not only them, but also so many old and weak women and children, all of them would have to die!
"Ceasefire!"
Everyone stopped shooting, most fired only three shots, some only two; The heavy machine gun did not finish a single chain of bullets, and the time did not exceed half a minute. But in just half a minute, 25 people in Qiangzhai were shot and killed, of which 18 were headshot; Dozens of meters of the wall were severely damaged, and sometimes even collapsed a corner. The Qiang people inside were already so frightened that they hugged their heads and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, thinking that it was a punishment from heaven.
Captain Xu was also scared enough, this kind of "stick" is really not ordinary, I don't know how to jump the chickens and dogs on the opposite side, it is really a magic weapon! The soldiers under his command were the same, surprised and surprised, and they all felt that they had long insight.
"The Qiang compatriots on the other side are really helpless to fight in the same room today; The existing thieves are committing rebellion, Victoria is in danger, and it is not my wish to meet each other. Whoever surrenders will be pardoned! "Liu Yu Enwei is both powerful, as long as he surrenders out of the village, he will not be held accountable.
The Qiang people inside scrambled to be the first, threw their weapons one after another, and surrendered out of the village, with a trace of joy on their faces, and the joy of surviving in a desperate situation. There was one count, a total of 266 people and 25 corpses, all of whom honestly gathered outside. Jiang Yi was frightened and helpless, and took the initiative to confess in front of Liu Yu: "Jiang Yi, the leader of Qiang Village in Pingxiang, listened to people's demagogy and embraced rebellion, but it is true. Wait for the fall. ”
"Your Excellency, I have said that those who surrender will be pardoned for their innocence; What do you think, Captain Xu? After Liu Yu finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zizhou, who hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it's all up to Brother Liu!"
"Mr. Xie Liu is lenient, the Qiang people of Pingxiang will no longer dare to rebel, and they will support me for all generations. This leader seems to be a literati, his appearance, temperament, and conversation are very cultivated, even if he has just been scolded by someone, he has not said a word of foul language.
"The Jiang leader is righteous, the Qiang people are hard, and the Tang Dynasty is lucky; This is 100 taels of red gold, to comfort the family of the deceased, don't shirk! Liu Yu asked people to take out twenty ingots of red gold and stuff them to Jiang Yi's leader, and he had to make a full set of grace and power, so that people would be grateful.
After some means, this Qiang people finally stopped temporarily, and they would not rebel again in a short time. The two teams hurriedly marched towards Xuecheng, fifteen miles of official roads, it didn't take long, and there was no need to march in a hurry.
The team of nearly 500 people was cautious all the way and did not encounter too much danger, and occasionally a small team of Qiang soldiers sneaked up, not killed by snipers; It's to be scared away. At noon, I finally arrived 3 miles outside Xuecheng, and I went out of the official road between the mountains, and I could already see the county seat. The city wall of Xuecheng is 12 meters high; The bottom width is 7 meters; The top width is 5.5 meters, the circumference is 1,650 meters, and the area is about 140,000 square meters.
At this time, a large number of Qiang soldiers had gathered at the north gate, about two or three thousand people, camped, and should still be gathering soldiers and horses. Although these Qiang soldiers were numerous, they were undisciplined, and they appeared to be chaotic, and their combat effectiveness was so weak that people were anxious. "Brother Xu, this is what is called: Victoria is in an emergency?"
"Of course not, Jinchuan has just fallen, and a large number of Qiang soldiers are coming, with about five thousand people, and Xue Cheng is guarding three hundred, so this is urgent! Pengzhou, Nanhuizhou, and Shuzhou have a slight surplus of troops, and more than 1,000 government troops have been mobilized to rush to reinforcements; In other state capitals, far water can't quench the thirst of the near. Captain Xu reluctantly explained that Victoria is not a strategic location, there are not many troops at all, and the same is true for nearby states and counties.
"All attention, the cavalry covers the carriage and prepares to enter the city!" Xu Zizhou's government soldiers were in front, and Liu Yu's escort was behind, and they quickly marched towards the south gate. Everyone galloped on horseback and rushed over at a gallop, but the Qiang soldiers in the same direction were frightened, even more chaotic, and almost retreated en masse.
Captain Xu rushed to the city and shouted: "Therefore, the Taoguan garrison has come to reinforce and open the city gate!" The officer defending the city ordered the gates to be opened and welcomed the two teams into the city.
The city was on high alert, and people were not allowed to come and go at will, and the streets were closed and empty. Liu Yu led the escort team to stop at the market, and all of them dismounted to be on guard, ready for battle at all times. Captain Xu also settled the soldiers, and was negotiating with an officer of the defending army, and they should be responsible for the food and accommodation of hundreds of people.
Within two minutes, Li Sizhong, the governor of Victoria, Huang Wenshuo, and Ma Kui, who joined the army, all went down to the city to greet them, and thanked Xu Zizhou quite enthusiastically: "It turned out to be Captain Xu, so Taoguan is a hundred miles away, and it will come in a few days, it's really fast, Li has thanked you!" By the way, who is this little brother? ”
Although he asked Liu Yu, he wanted to know the origin of the escort team, this group of people had a unique costume and a lot of bows and crossbows, if they helped defend the city, they would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. "I've seen Lord Thorn Shi, in Xia Liu Yu, the boss of the Wolong caravan, passing through this place, it is time for him." He volunteered to come to help, and he didn't bother to be polite to the other party, and there was no benefit to take it anyway.
Xu Zizhou took over the conversation and solemnly introduced: "Lord Li, Brother Liu is not an ordinary person, he has more than 200 guards, all of them are one enemy hundred, and his courage is extraordinary!" If you want to repel these rebels, it's like digging for something! ”
Everyone looked at Liu Yu in surprise, this is why Captain Xu of Taoguan They all know that he is upright and unsophisticated, and he will never say such big things, he must be really capable! "Victorian assassin Li Sizhong, I have seen Mr. Liu, and I hope that my brother will take the initiative and join forces to repel the rebellion, and there will be heavy thanks afterwards!" This assassin is also a delicate person, not only putting down his body, calling him a brother, but also promising heavy profits.
Liu Yu was a lot happier when he heard that there was a benefit, and he was just about to say thank you, but he was interrupted by Xu Zizhou's righteous words: "Is my brother Liu this kind of person?" Can you ask for money from the people of Victoria? He cared about the Tang Dynasty and couldn't bear the slaughter of the people, so he came to help, right, Brother Liu? ”
The corners of Liu Yu's mouth twitched, glanced at him, and replied through gritted teeth: "Yes, I dare not forget the country, this is the obligation of my generation, and it will be cheesy to talk about money..." Li Tingshi secretly laughed at this Captain Xu, it was really unreasonable, it was too funny.
After some politeness, hundreds of people climbed the city walls; Now the whole city is on high alert, and the soldiers eat and live on the city towers, and are on duty day and night. With the support of a few hundred people, the pressure on the defenders of Xuecheng was greatly reduced, and the situation was greatly eased.
