Chapter 183: The Extravagant Hope of the Great Bone of Jeru

Above the city, the faces of Zhang Bin, Zhi Kerou, Su Guo, Zhi Muqiu, Han Saburo and others who witnessed this scene changed slightly, because from their point of view, the accuracy of the more than 100 arrows was extremely high, and even the accuracy was terrifying.

"The Liao people are also on guard against our gunpowder packs, and they have also studied how to deal with them, and these more than 100 people should be all the condor shooters in the Liao army outside the city." Zhi Kerou's expression was solemn.

"Even if you are an archer, it is easy to shoot a powder bag, but it is not so easy to shoot the fuse." Zhang Bin is not very worried, "Besides, even if it is ......"

The conversation between the two was not over yet, and there was already a result outside the city.

Eight of the ten gunpowder packets had some arrows stuck in them, but they still exploded, killing hundreds of Liao people on the spot.

However, the fuses of two gunpowder packs were extinguished by the Liao archers......

The Liao people are so terrifying that they are worthy of their reputation.

Only one of them fell to the ground and was denied by the other explosive powder packets, but another powder bag was pounced on the horse by one of Yeludagu's own soldiers, and was held in his arms before falling to the ground.

Yelu Dagu was suddenly overjoyed and shouted, "Go! ”

With the help of his companions, the Liao soldier who was holding a gunpowder bag in his arms quickly remounted his horse, and Yelu Dagu galloped away into the distance with the wind of men and horses, and disappeared into the night.

At the head of the city, Zhi Kerou, Su Guo, Han Sanlang and others had already changed their faces when they saw the Liao people taking away a gunpowder bag.

This kind of killer terror weapon must not fall into the hands of the Liao people, otherwise if the Liao people imitate it, the Song State may have to return to the humiliating situation of being beaten.

This is the idea of all the Song army soldiers in Shuitou City at this time, except for Zhang Bin.

"The overseer, the last general will immediately lead everyone out of the city to catch up, even if all the men and horses are consumed here, the gunpowder bag must be taken back." Zhi Kerou pleaded loudly, her expression solemn and resolute.

Zhang Bin's heart is full of respect, Zhi Kerou is not a pure Han person, his ancestors are even party members, but his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, especially this sense of belonging, is far more than that of many pure Han people, and even those scholars who talk about loyalty all day long.

But at this moment, in order to prevent the Great Song Dynasty from continuing to become a beaten situation, Zhi Kerou would rather consume all their Zhejia troops in Shuitou City.

You must know that the reason why the Zhe family is far more transcendent in the Great Song Dynasty than another Jiangmen family, and can even control the military and political power of Fuzhou for generations, is because they always control an elite army in their hands.

In other words, the Zhejia army is the reliance of the Zhejia family, although they can still make up for this consumption after the war, but it is a long-term effort to build an elite army, and I don't know how many times they have to go through the battlefield.

But at present, in order to prevent the gunpowder bag from falling into the hands of the Khitans, Zhe Kerou has ignored this.

Zhang Bin was moved in his heart, smiled and helped Zhi Kerou up, and said: "General Zhe don't worry, the Liao people just took away a gunpowder bag, and other than that, it doesn't mean anything." ”

Zhi Kerou was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "The prison army means that the Liao people will never imitate the gunpowder bag?" ”

Zhang Bin said proudly: "As you said, black powder will be a magic weapon for my Great Song Dynasty to change the offensive and defensive situation of Song and Liao. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhi Kerou couldn't help but remember that he had thought about secretly mixing black powder after going back, and now it seems that he has thought too much.

In the camp of the Liao army, Yelu Dagu did not wait for the war horse to stop, so he jumped off the horse's back with a gloomy face, and his movements were extremely agile, he was originally a famous fierce general and warrior in Daliao.

They lost more than 6,000 men tonight, and it was less than two hours before and after.

Although he snatched a terrifying weapon researched by the Song people, it still made Yelu Dagu's heart drip blood.

The Liao tribal army and the Xijing army besieging Shuitou City combined with about 40,000 horses, and now there are only more than 14,000 people.

Although it is still about twice the size of the Song army in Shuitou City today, if they are confident that they can easily kill those hateful Song people in the field, but with the combat power and terrifying methods that the Song army has shown these days, they continue to attack Shuitou City with this amount of strength, even if they are all consumed under Chengtou City, the possibility of breaking the city is small and desperate.

Therefore, at the moment, they only have two choices, one is to retreat with hatred, and the other is to ask for reinforcements from the king of the Southern Courtyard or the Great Liao court.

No matter which of these two paths is, it is already destined that not only will he not have the slightest credit, but he will inevitably be punished by the king of the Southern Courtyard and the imperial court.

The same is true of Magutou, the lord of Shuitou City, and because he loses the city easily, if he can't take Shuitou City back, he will be punished even more.

Li Hanguang is only a member of the Senate staff, and the result after the fiasco in Shuitou City is much better than the two, but he is likely to fall out of favor with the king of the Southern Courtyard.

In the Liao State, if any Han official does not have a strong backer, it is difficult to get ahead at all, and if he is not careful, he will die in various interests and struggles.

In short, the three of them are very, very unwilling.

"General Yelu, the only way to recapture Shuitou City at the moment is to ask the imperial court for reinforcements." Ma Gutou's face was pale, and he said to Yelu Dagu in a dejected manner.

Yelu Dagu ignored Ma Gutou, but stared at the explosive bag in front of him, which was held in the hands of a personal soldier.

Although the Liao people have basically determined that this explosive bag needs the fuse to ignite before it can explode, these days, the Song people's explosive bags all exploded just after landing, so for the sake of insurance, the Liao people did not dare to let this explosive bag fall to the ground, and people kept holding it to death.

Li Hanguang saw the thoughts in Yelu Dagu's heart, his eyes flashed, and he said: "General, if we find a way to imitate this terrifying thing, it can be regarded as a meritorious service, and the merit is enough to offset the general's failure to recapture Shuitou City and the loss of soldiers and horses. ”

Yelu Dagu's face did not change, obviously he thought of what Li Hanguang said, and sighed: "But the problem is that such a powerful thing, I'm afraid it's not so easy to imitate." ”

Li Hanguang shook his head and said: "It may not be difficult for the lower officials to observe the rough production of this thing, it is better to gather all the craftsmen in the army and let them study this terrifying thing, maybe there will be a surprise." ”

Yelu Dagu pondered for a while, nodded, and said solemnly: "This can only be the case for now, but this thing is extremely dangerous, I will give you ten personal soldiers, you take someone to keep an eye on this thing personally, don't let people light that thread, and don't let this thing fall to the ground." ”

Li Hanguang bowed and said: "General, rest assured, the lower officials will definitely not let this thing get close to the source of fire, and will arrange for someone to hold it in his arms at all times, and then find a way to imitate this thing as soon as possible." ”

When he said these words, Li Hanguang suddenly remembered the snake slave, and thought to himself that the woman he had rescued was extremely intelligent and knowledgeable.
