Chapter 74: Victory in the first battle

The number of people is more than 10,000, overwhelming, and now there are 50,000 Western Xia troops, standing on the city wall, looking like a moving ant from a distance, swarming towards this Fuping City.

300 steps...... Two hundred steps...... One hundred steps......

There are a lot of recruits in the Zhenxi Army, and the hand holding the bow and arrow is a little trembling at this time.

Wu Jue stood on the city wall, saw this scene, and couldn't help but say to the recruits around him: "Sons, don't be afraid, this is the first step, after this battle, you are no longer recruits!" ”

The recruit Danzi was inspired by his own general, his heart was excited, and his trembling hands were no longer trembling, "People die in the sky, they don't die for thousands of years, I'm afraid of an egg!" ”

Seventy paces away.

"Shoot the arrows!" Wu Jue shouted.

"Whoosh ......" arrows rained down for a while!

At such a close distance, the dense Western Xia army under the city did not need to aim at all, and basically every two arrows could have a Western Xia soldier hit an arrow!

On the city wall, Wu Jue divided all the soldiers into two rows, the front and the back, after the first row of arrows, retreated to the back row, replaced by the second row of arrows, and went back and forth in turn, so the Western Xia army faced an endless rain of arrows, but Li Changqi in order to quickly attack the city, actually did not let the charging troops prepare shields, so this group of people directly became live targets, and some people were directly shot into hedgehogs.

The Western Xia army came up quickly and retreated even faster, leaving corpses all over the ground, and the Western Xia army retreated.

"Bastard, who told you to order the withdrawal of troops!" Like an enraged lion, Li Changqi roared at his lieutenant.

"General, the Song army's arrow rain is too powerful, the soldiers have no shields, they have become live targets, if they continue to rush forward, it is estimated that they will not reach the bottom of the city wall, and they will be shot clean!" Feng Renduo was a famous general in Western Xia, and when he heard that Li Qianshun had assigned him a gentleman as a pioneer, his face turned black at that time.

Feng Renduo Baozhong went to Li Qianshun to meet him on the same day, hoping to replace Li Changqi, a gentleman, but Li Qianshun rejected it.

"Brother Wang is in trouble, Huan'er (Li Changqi's character) is eager for revenge, and if you bring him, it can be regarded as comforting Brother Wang's soul in the sky!" Li Qianshun said to Feng Renduo Baozhong, of course, he also knew that this war was not child's play, it was the worth of tens of thousands of soldiers, and he still knew how many catties and taels Li Changqi had, so he also ordered Feng Renduo Baozhong to send Feng Renqi Maili (Feng Renduo Baozhong's eldest son) as a deputy general to Li Changqi, in fact, it was to hang a name for Li Changqi, and he would break the Song army in the future and inherit the title.

Feng Renduo Baozhong and Li Qianshun thought so, but Li Changqi didn't think so, as a second ancestor who grew up in the prince's mansion since he was a child, the first time he led troops to fight, he didn't know the fear of the battlefield, and some were more proud.

"How can there be no immortal in a war, if you are afraid of death, go home for me, what kind of soldier!" Li Changqi roared loudly: "Give it all, no matter how many people I die, I must break Fupingcheng for me today." ”

Feng Renqi heard what Li Changqi said, and his body trembled, this Li Changqi really didn't take the lives of soldiers seriously at all, obviously he was a second ancestor who didn't understand anything, and he had to command blindly, wouldn't it be good for you to be your Taiping prince in peace, and wait until the city is broken, and enjoy the merits of war.

But how could Li Changqi be willing to do this, he really put himself in the position of a general, and he was stubborn and self-serving, and he didn't listen to Feng Renqi's advice at all.

Feng Renqi really wanted to take advantage of the chaos to solve this guy, but he also knew that if he really did this, it would not only be himself who would be implicated at that time, so he could only endure the anger in his heart and said to Li Changqi: "General, the siege of the city is naturally to attack, but it is necessary to let the soldiers attack the city with shields, Fupingcheng is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to use powerful siege equipment, but the enemy's bow and arrow can be shot at our soldiers with strength, if you don't bring a shield, it is tantamount to letting the soldiers go up to find death!" ”

Li Changqi saw the seriousness of Feng Renqi's buying power, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Okay, bring a shield and let the whole army impact!" ”

So the retreating Western Xia soldiers once again poured up.

Wu Jue stood on the city wall, saw such an operation of the Western Xia army, and inquired again, and heard that the original leader was actually a second ancestor Li Changqi, and couldn't help but shake his head, this battle, it would be easy.

With the first experience, the recruits are no longer nervous, which gives all the recruits of the Zhenxi Army a chance to practice.

At a hundred paces, it was already within the range of fire, and Feng Ren immediately ordered the soldiers to assemble their shields.

From the city walls, all the Western Xia soldiers seemed to hold up shields and umbrellas, covering their bodies under the shields.

"Shoot the arrows!" At seventy paces, Wu Jue gave an order, and another wave of arrows poured down.

However, this time the Western Xia army had already prepared, and although this rain of arrows also caused damage to some soldiers, most of the rain of arrows was still blocked by shields.

"Stop firing the arrows!" Wu Jue saw that the damage effect of archery was already minimal, and directly asked people to stop firing arrows, this was a protracted battle, and he didn't want to waste one more arrow.

"Jingkang crossbowmen prepare!" Wu Jue ordered.

The power of this Jingkang crossbow is extremely great, it is not at all something that this ordinary shield can resist, the reason why Wu Jue did not use the Jingkang crossbow at the beginning is naturally because he saw that the Xixia soldiers who were besieging the city did not even bring a shield, so it became a live target, and it could be injured with ordinary arrows.

Of course, there is another reason, this Jingkang crossbow is a surprise weapon, Wu Jue wants to come by surprise and kill more Western Xia troops, if the Jingkang crossbow is used at the beginning, then the Western Xia army is afraid that it will not dare to attack in the future, how can it eliminate more of the Western Xia army.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is also applicable in the military.

"Kerala ......" With Wu Jue's order, there was a sound of hinges turning, and the Jingkang crossbow was pulled apart, and the improved Jingkang crossbow could be completely controlled by two people, one person turned the hinge, and the other person was responsible for installing the huge arrows of the Jingkang crossbow.

"Shoot the arrows!" Wu Jue gave an order, only to hear the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air, and a huge crossbow arrow with the thickness of a baby's arm broke out of the air, and harvested at the Western Xia army with a devastating momentum.

The Jin army had seen the tremendous power of this Jingkang crossbow, but the Western Xia army was still unfamiliar, and they were dumbfounded in the face of huge arrows!
