Chapter 571: Sent to Death
Is Yellowbeard afraid of the Tang Army?
Of course I am afraid.
After all, bandits are bandits, as long as the regular army is not too scum, under normal circumstances, they can still hang bandits. Yellowbeard's dealings with Peng Shuangmu have always been honest, under normal circumstances, it is Peng Shuangmu who provides him with information, he is responsible for the robbery, and then the two sides are divided.
Yellowbeard is a thief who is not taboo in meat and vegetables, he robs the caravan of the Tang people, he also robs Ye Fan's caravan, as long as he can eat it, he wants to take a bite.
Once Yellowbeard annoyed the Tubo people, and the Tubo people began to encircle and suppress him on a large scale, they took his subordinates to Muyu City to find Peng Shuangmu's protection, and after so many years, they have become a bandit in this area that gives the Tubo people a headache.
In the end, the Tubo people stopped suppressing it, but instead charged Huangbeard a high amount of taxes, and if you pay, I won't suppress you. As for the caravans, they are blessed.
The problem that can be solved by paying money, Yellowbeard is naturally happy, anyway, his money is easy to come by.
But since last year, Yellowbeard's life has not been easy. The asking price of the Tibetans is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more garrisons in this area, which makes the yellow beard a little breathless.
Either go away and fly high, or pay the money honestly.
The cost of flying away is too high, and in other places, there are naturally bandits, and Yellowbeard doesn't think that he can still mix well after leaving this area. Here, whether he is with Tang Bing or Tubo, they can all talk. Out of here, he's a piece of.
So this time, he must take down the big fat sheep, and if he takes it, he can live a happy life for at least a few months.
But he never imagined that the idea was really prickly, and it was far beyond his expectations.
Tang Bing's combat effectiveness is naturally clear to him. He and Peng Shuangmu either haven't fought, or because he lost, he became Peng Shuangmu's partner.
Peng Shuangmu wanted to make a fortune, but his identity made it difficult for him to rob blatantly, so Yellowbeard became the best second-tier dealer. You don't need to do anything, you can sit and receive a piece of money.
In Yellowbeard's eyes, the combat effectiveness of Tang Bing is probably similar to Peng Shuangmu's soldiers. But there are only 500 people, and the remaining 500 caravans are fish belly. As soon as the army rushed, these belly soldiers would inevitably panic and flee in all directions, and they could easily carry the Tang army to disperse.
This kind of thing happened to him when he was robbing the Tibetan people. The Tibetan army was brutal and fierce enough, but under the same circumstances, it also became a ghost under his sword.
Yellowbeard confidently charged.
The 500 cavalry under his command are also the leaders of his most elite henchmen. Break down your opponent's defenses and the rest will be much easier.
But the current scene made him dumbfounded.
He really didn't expect that a mere caravan would bring so many rejection horses and strong crossbows.
He was dumbfounded when the cavalry began to charge, when the pieces of oilskin above the opponent's defensive line were torn away, when he saw the cold light of the repulsive horses lying in place, and when he saw the crossbow arrows that came with a sharp roar.
This specially made carriage, the work of the Texas Carriage and Horse Workshop, is a special operations vehicle specially developed for infantry, in peacetime, can be used to haul supplies, transport soldiers, in the event of a surprise attack, this kind of carriage can be turned into the first line of defense in the blink of an eye. The whole body of the carriage is movable.
The horizontal bar above the wheels of the carriage is a sleeve design, and the inner part is pulled out and nailed into the ground, so that the carriage can firmly grasp the ground, and the central axis is pulled upwards, and the round iron poles on both sides that originally formed the floor become a cross shape, and the spear is put on the front to become a sharp weapon for killing. The two wheels are arc-shaped, and a strong crossbow can be fired by twisting the bowstring, but it requires manpower to wind it, and one person cannot complete this action. The walls of the carriage were dismantled to become ready-made shields.
Yellowbeard thought that the other party was relying on nothing more than a dilapidated fortress, but he didn't know that these hundreds of carriages were the real reliance of this caravan.
When more than a hundred crossbow arrows roared and pinned the charging cavalry to the ground in rows, the muscles on Yellowbeard's face twitched in pain.
But there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and at this time, even if he wanted to stop, there was no way.
The cavalry continued to charge.
Death, blood, but provoked the blood-eating nature of these stubborn bandits.
Forward, some of the horses jumped up and leaped over the carriages, while others crashed straight into the carriages, and the sharp blades of their spears immediately pierced ten holes in the horse's belly. The whole carriage also fell backwards heavily, and the front end rose up, which was considered to have lost its combat effectiveness.
The war horse that jumped over the carriage landed and did not end well.
The ground is not flat.
There were stones and dirt everywhere, which was nothing unusual for the infantry, but for the horses, it was fatal. The moment the hoof falls, the force is only slightly off, and the horse's hoof will break without surprise.
Immediately, the knight didn't care about the war horse under his crotch, and at the moment he jumped over, one by one he flew out of his hand, and grabbed the beacon castle one by one, and one by one the bandits rose into the air like a flying knight and fell towards the castle.
This kind of flying grab can not only climb the wall to attack, but also is a powerful weapon when these bandits attack the caravan.
The knights flew.
The knights descended towards the Beacon Castle.
Then they saw a spear flash out of sight.
The sound of porphyry is one after another.
The enemy was not deterred.
They were like a calm killing machine, watching intently at the flying knights, and intently poking out the spears in their hands.
A knight flew in the air and threw a long knife in his hand with great force, and when he saw the knife pass through the chest of an enemy in front of him, he cheered in the inner city, whether the enemy dodged or was killed by the sword, a gap would appear in front of him, and then he would fall on top of the fortress. As the first person to storm the fortress, he will receive the most important share of the spoils.
He grabbed another knife at his waist with his backhand.
However, the soldier in front of him didn't dodge at all, the knife was thrust into the man's chest, sparks flew everywhere, the soldier's body shook, and some painful expressions flashed on his face, but the man did not take half a step back, and his hand still stabbed the spear out steadily.
The knight watched in disbelief as his sharpened sword slid down the enemy's chest, and then he heard a porphyr, and when he looked down, a spear shaft appeared in front of his chest.
He only had one leather armor, and he was stabbed hard by this spear, which, combined with the strength of his lunge, actually pierced him in half.
He fell like a stone, carrying with him the spear that had pierced his body.
Yellowbeard was about to go crazy, and his most elite cavalry, in front of his opponents, was like a vulnerable chick, easily killing one after another.
"Kill them all and avenge your brothers." Seeing that the outermost obstacles had been smashed by the cavalry, the crossbow bolts did not ring again, and the yellowbeard, who had lost his mind, drew his sword and roared and pounced.
His infantry brigade finally arrived.
Seeing the tragic situation of the previous cavalry, these foot bandits roared and rushed towards the small beacon fort.
There was a buzzing sound.
Yellowbeard looked up.
The sky darkened.
Hundreds of crossbow arrows obscured his vision.
Then he heard the sound of rain.
Whew!
Ahhh
These bandits who don't even have a decent piece of armor, and at most wear an old sheepskin jacket, can withstand the powerful fire of hundreds of crossbows?
How could these bandits have fought such a battle?
They fought with other bandits, fought with the Tubo people, and even fought with the Tang army in Muyu City, and more often, it was a horse-to-horse, centaurs, and knife-to-knife fight. Feather arrows have also been seen, but in most cases, the threat of feather arrows is really not bad, sparse and weak, and if you shoot it, you will die.
But today is clearly different.
The arrows fired from a crossbow are much more powerful than a bow at such a close distance.
Peng Shuangmu said that the idea was a little prickly.
Is this a bit of a prick? It's a fucking hedgehog covered in thorns.
After two rounds of arrow rain, the lineup of the charge has become a little sparse, and it is finally Tang Ji's turn to play.
The trumpet sounded, and Tang Ji appeared majestically in front of Yellowbeard with his whole armor and a horse chopping sword in his hand, and behind him, a samurai with armor appeared in a neat formation.
"Kill!" Tang Ji pointed forward with his saber and strode forward.
Behind him, the five hundred caravan guards raised their swords in their hands and shouted a trumpet to approach forward.
At the highest point of the Beacon Castle, Li Hai held a big bow in his hand, stepped forward with a horse, the arrow was wound, and with a whoosh, the feather arrow flew out like lightning, accurately breaking the fluttering flag behind Yellowbeard.
On top of the bee castle, a soldier with a crossbow in his hand also appeared.
"Retreat!" Yellowbeard yelled.
At this time, he finally understood that the bone in front of him was not something he could gnaw down at all. If you don't run, you'll even have to be here.
"Damn Peng Shuangmu, this is not a caravan, this is a fucking trap, he is going to destroy himself!" As he ran, Yellowbeard thought through gritted teeth.
When Lao Tzu escapes this catastrophe, and then turns around and lets you have a product out of Shuangmu City, Lao Tzu is not a person.
Tang Ji dance knife, one knife at a time.
At this time, the bandits no longer run faster than the enemy, they fight faster than their own accomplices.
A hurried trumpet suddenly sounded above the Beacon Castle.
Tang Ji was slightly stunned, put away his knife and turned around.
"Retreat!" He yelled.
Come out quickly, run back quickly. When Don Quixikan returned to the defensive line, a large number of cavalry appeared in his field of vision again.
"Pengamu, who was raised by a son of a bitch, wants to pick up a bargain!" Tang Ji spat hard.
