Chapter 93: The Second Retreat Liao Soldier 3

There is a distance of about six or seven zhang from the wall to the moat, and about five or six zhang from the moat to the place where the Liao soldiers are concentrated, and the distance of more than ten zhang is not very far. In later generations, the passing level of grenade throwing was thirty meters, which was easy for a man in the prime of life.

I saw a black thing with a spark accurately fell next to the Liao soldier flag, which was the place where the Liao army shot arrows at the wall in a dense formation, first a dazzling flash of light, followed by a deafening loud noise, the Liao army around the porcelain bottle bomb landing site with a loud noise, like a cut down straw, staggered, lying down a large area. The most terrible thing is the war horse of the Liao soldiers, although the war horses of the Liao people have been trained since the age of two, they have removed the weakness of the horses' natural timidity, and they will not react in fear to ordinary loud noises and flashes, but the explosion of this gunpowder has exceeded the range of sound stimulation that the war horses have received in the past, so not only the Liao soldiers fell to the ground around the porcelain bottle bomb, but even the war horses were frightened. A burst of "boom" horse barking, the war horse began to run uncontrollably and kick, no matter how the soldiers on the horse controlled, did not listen to the call, the empty war horse was even more crazy to run away, at this time no one cared about catching the horse, the soldiers around the porcelain bottle bomb of course bear the brunt, fell a piece, a little farther away Liao soldiers, also north of the sudden explosion stunned, hands on the head, only care about their own hiding, no longer care about attacking the cottage.

Although there are also artillery guns in the Liao Kingdom, note that they are artillery guns, not artillery; However, even the gunpowder technology of the Song Dynasty at this time failed to reach the level of gunpowder explosion, let alone the Liao State, which stole the art of stealing from teachers.

During the period of Liao Daozong, there was a fire cannon performance in Yanjing City, so the Liao soldiers also knew more or less about fire artillery. But it was a fireball that could only be thrown and burned violently, and it was not an earth-shattering thing.

But what was dropped on this cottage was definitely a bomb that could even stun the Song army. That momentum, that power, is by no means something that flesh and blood can resist, not to mention, this is only a half-finished product.

The people on the walled wall saw the situation of the Liao soldiers bombing the north below, although they were also shocked by the explosion, but after all, they were farther away, and then saw the embarrassed appearance of the Liao army, and felt that they were strong, and they all cheered at once.

Xiao Puda's face was pale, and he ordered his personal soldiers to restrain the team, and several personal soldiers waved their knives and cut down two soldiers who were running around, which slowly suppressed the position, and the Liao soldiers regrouped their banners, and the war horses after being pacified slowly quieted down.

When Xiao Puda saw that the soldiers were gathered, he ordered them to dismount and lead the horses behind the formation, so as to prevent the fire cannon just now from being thrown on the wall of the wall, disturbing the war horses. Then he ordered the soldiers to be divided into three teams, and they took turns to step forward and continue to shoot arrows at the wall, without stopping for a moment. Xiao Puda personally stood at the head of the team, he wanted to step up his attack, use wheel warfare, and consume this cottage and enter the cottage, now it is not only for his face, but also for the hatred in his heart. The loud sound of the cannon just now, as a high-ranking general in the army, naturally thought of the cannon of the Southern Dynasty at once. This made him completely convinced that this cottage must have been infiltrated by the Southern Dynasty, so that it could be the place to attack the Liao State, no wonder the sneak attacks of the Southern Dynasty in the past few days have come out from this direction, and now they have fled here.

Gao Yuan shot an arrow at the Liao army and asked Zhou Nandao loudly: "Da Lang, is there anything else?" I'll put it! Throw a few more, and you'll be able to blow up these bird thieves. ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "Just one." Gao Yuan looked disappointed and said, "When this happens, Da Lang will definitely do more." ”

As the two were talking, Lao Zheng Tou rushed over and said to the two of them in a hurry: "The arrows are almost gone, and I have asked the officials to collect the arrows shot by the officials on the wooden shields to see if they can be used again." For now, let the soldiers use fewer arrows. ”

Anniversary and Gao Yuan glanced at each other, if there were no arrows at this time, they could only wait for the officials and troops to come up.

Gao Yuan turned around and drew a spear, and shouted to the left and right: "Stop shooting, the tiger guards all take their guns, and wait for the officers and soldiers to come up." ”

Zhou Nan ordered the people of the Eagle Guards who remained on the wall to pick up only the most outrageous people to shoot, and only the leaders of the officers and soldiers to shoot.

Lao Zheng Tou was very satisfied when he saw that the two of them were cooperating properly, and said to the two: "But please relax, I have asked people to burn the fire and set up the pot, boil some boiling water and dung juice, and transport some rolling wood and stones. ”

Zhou Nan saw that Lao Zheng Tou had made proper arrangements, and his heart was settled. After a while, there were people in the village who carried stones and woods, pots and water, and carried all the things used to the wall. The wall of the wall is a zhang wide, and the soldiers of the family protection society who are guarding the village stand in the front row, and it is not cramped to put some iron pots, rolling wood and other things in the back. The wooden shields that stood between the stacks of arrows were long gone, and they had all been removed. The people of the Guardian Society only rely on arrow stacks to hide.

Since the official general gave the order just now, the people in the village knew that if the official army attacked them, there would be no life in the village, and the women's property would be robbed, so they worked harder and guarded the village with the people of the family protection society.

Xiao Puda outside the wall is also a battle-hardened battle, and the arrows shot from the wall are sparsely changed, so that Xiao Puda keenly grasped it, Xiao Puda first sneered himself, and then shouted: "There are not many arrows in the wall, step up to capture the wall." ”

The Liao soldiers in front of them were bold and began to approach the stream, and when they saw that the arrows really shot from the village were sparse, and it was obvious that there were no arrows left, they shouted one by one, flowed across the stream, took the round shield and the blade, and waited; Later, there were soldiers carrying the ladder that had just been made, crossing the moat, rushing to the wall, and leaning the ladder against the wall.

The three-zhang high wall was about to be climbed, and suddenly a wooden spoon popped out from the middle of the arrow stacks, pouring out streams of yellow, steaming and filthy juice, and the Liao soldiers on the ladder were doused with hot juice and tumbled and fell down from the ladder. The Liao army below shouted wildly and fired indiscriminately at the wall, and the people on the wall had long been hiding behind the arrow stacks and shields.

Under the strict urging of Xiao Puda, the second group of Liao soldiers who climbed the ladder also rushed over, and when they climbed to half the height from the ladder, the Liao soldiers below began to shoot arrows at the wall to cover the soldiers who climbed the ladder, and some of the soldiers in the wall threw stones to the Liao soldiers who climbed up, and some assassinated the Liao soldiers with spears. The Liao soldiers still did not attack, but several people in the Tiger Guard were hit by arrows.

Xiao Puda looked at the corpses lying on the ground under the wall, his expression was cold, and he ordered the attack on the village for the third time. This time, the Liao soldiers below shot their arrows more urgently, braving boiling water, dung juice, and blades stabbed on the wall, and some Liao soldiers still climbed up.
