Final Chapter. 83

In the traditional concept of defending the city, there is a complete set of attack routines that can be followed for those crossbowmen who stand at the battlements of the city wall and attack the enemy from a distance: when the enemy's soldiers step within 100 steps of the city, they can issue the first round of tentative upward fire; When the enemy has reached a distance of 80 paces, three to five rounds of rapid fire should be launched; After the enemy has stepped fifty paces, several rounds of high-angle lob fire should be performed; After the enemy army rushed fifteen paces from the wall, their strong bows and crossbows were useless.

Unexpectedly, the defenders of Buyeo City ignored the traditional offensive method and endured it until thirty steps away, before suddenly launching the first round of offensive! This distance is not far away, it is not close, and it is not close enough to reach the angle beyond the reach of the bow and arrow; Therefore, when the old archers of the defending army heard the order that they could open their bows and arrows, they felt that the distance was extremely advantageous at the moment, and there was no need to adjust the shooting angle at all, just the simplest flat shooting method, and they could quickly kill the enemy!

An elite archer who shoots ten arrows in a row can be considered qualified; If you can fire more than 12 arrows in a row, you can already be called a master of archery. Therefore, according to the traditional way of defending the city, about two-thirds of the feather arrows are ineffective attacks of blind cats and dead rats.

Chai Rang gave an order, and those longbowmen who had already held back their strength immediately showed their might! They also knew that the current situation was urgent, and everyone wanted to pour out the twelve arrows in the quiver as soon as possible! In this way, not only are the arrows very dense; And because the angle is smooth and condescending, even the hit rate and lethality have been significantly improved!

This rain of arrows, which almost had almost no dead ends, was like ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, shooting 1,500 Huashen Sect believers to the ground in an instant! A few lucky people survived sporadically, and they also returned to the arms of the great god Huayu under the roll call of the archers of Buyeo City in turn.

Guo Xing saw that the first inducing attack had obtained such an unexpected result, and his face became even more gloomy......

"Look, Hulegen! The enemy guards use troops, so disobeying the rules, I'm afraid that it is my "old friend" who personally sits in Buyeo City! Well, now that you have caught such a big fish, there is no point in making a tentative attack. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me, and an oil pot hell, I, Guo Xing, will definitely raze the entire Buyeo City to the ground! Tell the herald to inform the whole army, and in a quarter of an hour, launch a fierce assault on the four gates at the same time! This battle is not divided into batches and echelons, but also at all costs, to break through Buyeo City! I don't want to see a bird, a yellow dog, and leave the gates of Buyeo City! ”

"Yes!"

After Hu Legen turned his head and summoned a few heralds, and after ordering Guo Xing's generals, he said with a little hesitation:

"Qinbari, under such a strong attack, our army must have suffered very heavy losses. Moreover, the battle in Taining County was fought the day before yesterday, but our Shenshi tribe did not send a single soldier! This matter has already put a lot of pressure on King Chaolu Khan......"

"So what? Do you have to order you, the cavalrymen on horseback, wielding sabers and ramming them headlong at the enemy's wall? ”

That's not what the student meant...... Just ......"

"Hulegen, I think that even the Chaolu Han who is far away in the Mobei grassland also does not want to see the result of the heavy casualties of the Shenshi Army...... Well, you have to give them a little sweetness to keep the other two allies shut. If we can get their approval, the pressure on Chaolu Dahan will be less......"

After finishing speaking, Guo Xing turned over and dismounted and walked to the "senior brother" who was full of excitement and was trying his best to boost morale.

"Ahem! Brother Tian, can you take a step to speak? ”

The senior brother's face was stunned, and then he glanced at a black-faced man in the crowd, shouted a few words at random, and walked towards Guo Xing, who was one step ahead.

The camp at the rear of the army stored the army's grain, grass and ordnance; And Qilinjun, the supervisor sent by Diting, was receiving a batch of new siege equipment from the rear at this time.

"Dao Chief, Brother Tian. Today, Guo wants to talk openly and honestly with the two of them, and there are details about the war in Youbei. ”

Qilinjun pulled out a smile when he heard this, and said to him in a calm tone:

"The poor Tao is a person who cultivates outside the square, and the truth is just a simple business; We don't know anything about the soldiers, and we have no intention of participating in the pre-battle schemes. Let's put it bluntly, whether this battle is advancing or retreating, attacking or defending, is all decided by General Guo, whether it is poor or listening, there is absolutely no objection to this. I'm sorry, there is still a batch of materials here in Poor Road that needs to be counted urgently, and the two brothers please take care of themselves. ”

After finishing speaking, Qilinjun owed slightly, turned around and left; And the senior brother surnamed Tian of the Huashen Sect smiled mysteriously at Guo Xing:

"That's right, the eldest husband dares to act boldly, it is indeed the little words I handed to King Chaolu Khan!"

"Well...... Since Brother Tian is quick to talk, then I also have something to say. According to Guo's speculation, the reason for Brother Tian's dissatisfaction must be because of the battle of Taining the day before yesterday, when Brother Guijiao suffered heavy casualties, and our army could only watch from the wall. Regardless of whether Guo's battle strategy that day was appropriate, Brother Tian was dissatisfied, why didn't he communicate and negotiate with Zai Xia first, but instead sought the near and far? ”

After hearing this, the senior brother surnamed Tian narrowed his two eyes into a slit, and looked at Guo Xing repeatedly with a gaze full of disdain:

"Tamba Ri...... His real name is Guo Xing, right? Weren't you originally the little marquis of the Northern Yan Army? Do you need me to mention this little thing? I can't complain that others say that there is no hair on the mouth and that things are not done firmly, why are you so ignorant? Let me tell you, he heard that some are silver, ordnance, grain and grass, and some of my Huashen Sect are people, so what about your Shenshi tribe? Anyway, I will simply explain the Tao to you today, and let you, a rich boy, have a long insight! ”

Speaking of which, the senior brother surnamed Tian was unusual, erasing the magic stick style that he was happy with just now, but instead leaned his shoulders and fell waist, and Guo Xing said:

"Although you Guo family and grandfather have fought for a lifetime, you haven't understood it at all! In my Tian Dashan's view, what is the war? Isn't it just silver? It's not that the eldest brother said you, you kid is too unrighteous! The three of us have partnered to fight Youbei, Di heard that the silver has something wrong, and our Huashen Sect has a head, and you don't have a single hair in Mobei, so you just empty gloves and white wolves? Do you really think I'm stupid? ”

Guo Xing was also stunned by his words, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand what he planned to say; In the end, he could only open his mouth with a little doubt:

"We and the tripartite alliance should be in unison. But Brother Tian can also see with his own eyes, at present, the barbarians in the northern part of the country are sticking to the fortified city, and even if my Shenshi Iron Cavalry has the intention to kill the thief, it is still useless! Of course, the soldiers of your sect fought bravely and bravely before, and the losses were indeed heavy; I, Guo Xing, will make the decision in front of the battle today, and I will donate 30% of our army's salary and silver to compensate the families of the fallen soldiers of your army! And this covenant will remain in effect until the blade of my Divine Stone Army's Iron Cavalry can be unleashed! ”

"I didn't ask you this! …… Sneezing !! ”

Tian Dashan waved his right hand, opened his big mouth and sneezed loudly, two snots gushed out, Guo Xing was afraid of his way, and instantly popped out three zhang away!

"Look at this trouble...... Hey, when did you say the ghost weather on Youbei Third Road, and it's still so cold...... General Guo, can you find us a piece of clothing first, so that you can block the wind and cold? ”

Guo Xing called the herald and brought a cotton coat to the other party, but he had already cursed 10,000 swear words in his heart; But after all, Tian Dashan is already "eighty-four" years old this year, and he can live on the hurdle for a few more years? No matter how down-and-out he is, he is also a famous family, so why should he be like a dying man?

Tian Dashan took the cotton clothes, pulled the placket left and right, and hugged Guo Xing's shoulder with trembling feet:

"That's it, Brother Guo, Brother Tian looks at you very well, kindly give you a few words, don't pass it on to me! Don't look at the small number of your Shenshi Army, but after people eat horses and chew it, the daily food consumption is not a small amount! Thirty percent of the silver is as big as silver, and you will scatter it to those elm heads? I think my brother is used to living a rich life, and I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't belong to my family! Hey, don't let you be busy in vain, today as a big brother, I will teach you some ways to behave in the world! Why did you ask that Taoist priest for silver, and you will ask for it in the future; After I come back, Brother Tian, I am not greedy, and I will divide my two achievements in private! ”

Guo Xing, who thought he had seen the world, was stunned by Tian Dashan, who was born in the village, this time!

The officials of the Northern Yan Dynasty were dim, and it was not uncommon for them to receive pickles in private. Although the father and son of the Guo family are both righteous and awe-inspiring gentlemen; But after all, being in Beiyan, you can't be alone. Familiar with 300 Tang poems, if you can't compose poems, you can steal them, and they smoke a rolling melon that is ripe! Including the matter of asking for bribes before the battle, although it sounds jaw-dropping, it also happens frequently in Beiyan, and it is not worth the fuss of Young Marquis Guo.

What really surprised Guo Xing was that this diplomatic incident, which was thought to be extremely tricky, could be eliminated invisibly by relying on such small means that could not be put on the table! For a while, he wanted to cry out loud for those believers who dedicated their bodies and minds to the "Huayu Heavenly God".

Guo Xing knew that most of these believers of the Huashen Sect were rural villagers with little knowledge; Originally, they were either honest people who were loyal and dutiful, or they were delicate people who were selfish and stingy; But after being brainwashed and fooled by the Huashen Sect, all of them became crazy and foolish; And Tian Dashan, who is asking for kickbacks in front of him, is obviously not a madman, let alone a fool, he is just a well-dressed beast without a shirt!

Guo Xing doesn't like to associate with beasts, but he likes to raise and drive beasts!

For Guo Xing, who has never been poor since childhood, wealth is just one of his tools to conquer the world, and there is no attraction at all;

This concept of wealth can only be possessed by those rich and noble who have eaten, seen, and enjoyed; And although Tian Dashan has already reached a certain status in the Huashen Sect, the mud on his trouser leg has not been completely washed yet......
