More than 300 cavalry of the Xia army formed a formation, trampled on horses, and the dust flew up, covering the sky and the sun, and the power was really not small. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Hao felt that the earth seemed to be faintly shaking from a distance, although the cavalry of the Xia Army only had more than three hundred horses, but the huge power of the cavalry galloping on Zhong Hao's visual impact was absolutely big enough, and the power of the original cavalry impact was terrifying!

Zhong Hao secretly thought: Fortunately, the wall of Jingqiang Village has been built, otherwise the people of Jingqiang Village are afraid that they will only be slaughtered by others, and relying on those soldiers in the war camp to stop them is tantamount to a fool's dream, it is estimated that the three hundred soldiers in Jingqiang Village can be scattered by this Xia army cavalry in one round.

Not only Zhong Hao was subjected to a huge visual impact, but some soldiers of the war battalion on the wall who had never seen the impact of the Xia cavalry could not help but be silent and trembling when they saw the majesty of the Xia cavalry. The soldiers in the war camp were all strong and well-trained men, and the soldiers of the Pingxi Army were even more frightened. However, most of the soldiers in the prison camp were calm, and it was obvious that these people had a better psychological quality. Think about it, most of these troops in the border states are felons who have killed people or caused serious injuries, and it is estimated that they have seen more murder and arson, and their courage will be stronger.

There are a total of 2,400 steps on the four sides of the wall of Jingqiang Village, and it is naturally difficult to defend it by relying only on the 300 soldiers of the war battalion.

The cavalry of the Xia army soon galloped to the front of Jingqiang Village, and when they reached the distance of the arrow, they all picked up their bows and arrows together, and threw them at the wall together.

More than 300 wolf's tooth arrows came all over the world, full of might. Yang Huaiyu hurriedly shouted: "Zhi Dun, everyone hide behind the battlement!" Zhong Hao hurriedly hid behind the battlements of the wall. Wang San also leaned towards the battlement, and held up a wooden shield with one hand to cover the top of their heads.

There was a sound of "tuk tuk", and the arrows shot by the Xia cavalry only fell on the wall.

The strength of the wolf tooth arrows thrown is still very strong. After the rain of arrows, Zhong Hao stood up and saw that there were three arrows stuck in the wooden shield held by Wang San, still shaking tremblingly. Wang San's wooden shield is nailed into two layers of wooden boards, one layer of wood is horizontal, one layer of texture is vertical, and the outside is also covered with a thick layer of raw cowhide, which is very strong, but the three wolf tooth arrows are still deeply inserted into the shield, which shows the great power of the shot.

The east, west and south sides of Jingqiang Village are rugged mountainous terrain, which is not conducive to the deployment of troops, and the Xia army should prefer the north wall to attack Jingqiang Village, so Zhong Hao arranged half of the soldiers of the war battalion to defend on the north wall, as well as the soldiers of the 400 Ping Western Army and the prison city camp.

After a period of training, the response of those war battalions when the arrow rain came was quite timely, and most of them hid behind the battlements or held up wooden shields to resist, but the soldiers of the Pingxi Army and the prison camp reacted a little slowly, and more than 20 people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows in this wave of arrow rain, shouting in pain.

When Zhong Hao saw that the cavalry of the Xia army arrived, he immediately rushed at the wall of Jingqiang Zhai with a rain of arrows, giving his people a dismount, and he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately let the archers on the wall return fire.

The bows and arrows of Jingqiang Village are basically only available in the war battalion, and most of them are eight-bucket riding bows. Badou's bow is not bad, but the archery skills of those soldiers and soldiers are still very poor, and most of them are at the point where they have just practiced archery with bows.

It's good to shoot together, and it's a throw, and you don't need to pay attention to what aiming, and the soldiers and soldiers of the battalion on the wall of the wall at the moment draw their bows and shoot together.

Although standing on the wall of the wall condescendingly throwing bows and arrows, there is a certain bonus in the arrow range, but the archery skills of these soldiers in Jingqiang Village are too poor, and those Xia cavalry after throwing the first wave of bows and arrows, they all went around half a circle and ran away from the arrow range before stopping their horses, so the bows and arrows shot by Jingqiang Village were only sparse and dozens of bows and arrows flew into the cavalry formation, and the rest were exhausted halfway.

And the strength of the dozens of bows and arrows that shot into the Xia army's formation had long been exhausted, and the Xia army's cavalry casually picked up the small riding shields hanging on their horses to cover them.

This wave of firing basically did not cause any damage to the party cavalry, and Zhong Hao couldn't help but be helpless.

The Xia cavalry laughed at the wall, obviously contemptuous of the archery skills of the people on the wall.

After the ridicule, a bald man with hanging hair who looked like the commander of the cavalry of the Xia army came out in front of the Xia cavalry formation, and shouted arrogantly towards the head of the city: "The people on the wall listen: before sunset, give 1,000 stones of grain, 500 cattle and sheep, otherwise when the village is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!" ”

The cavalry commander spoke, and the more than 300 cavalrymen behind him shouted together: "On the day the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!" "Most of the party members, whether nobles or soldiers, can speak Chinese. Although Li Yuanhao vigorously promoted the language and writing of the party after becoming emperor, habits cannot be changed overnight.

I have to say that the cavalry shouted in unison, and the impact on the people on the wall was still relatively large. After hearing this, the people on the wall thought of the brutality of the party members, and couldn't help but feel a little commotion. The strength of the party is still very stressful for people who have been in the land west of the river for a long time.

Zhong Hao was still a little nervous when facing the powerful Western Xia army for the first time, but he knew that at this time, as the person in charge, he must not panic and maintain absolute calm. Panic is contagious, and only by maintaining absolute composure can the soldiers feel at ease.

Zhong Hao said loudly: "This group of western thieves is just a scare with empty mouths and white teeth, they don't even have a siege weapon, what to attack the wall, everyone can rest assured!" ”

Everyone was intimidated by the momentum of the party people just now, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, at this time after listening to Zhong Hao's words, thinking about it, this group of party cavalry did not carry any siege equipment, it is estimated that if they want to attack the wall, there is no other way than to climb with a hook. There are so many people on their side, they want to climb up with a hook, do they really think that the people on their walls are dead? Seeing that Zhong Hao was calm and calm, everyone couldn't help but gradually settle down. People with a noble status like Zhong Jiyi are not afraid, what are they afraid of when they are cheap!

The commander of this group of party cavalry is called Xifeng Yingdian, who is the commander of this cavalry battalion, and his cavalry battalion is a cavalry battalion of the Shenyong Army Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia.

Although unlike the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, which was mainly based on the conscription system, the Western Xia mainly implemented the conscription system, but the military system of the Western Xia was based on the military system of the Great Song Dynasty. The Western Xia military system was developed on the basis of the tribal military system of the party and the Song system. Like the Great Song Dynasty, the Privy Council was the highest military authority in Western Xia, with twelve military superintendents under it. After Li Yuanhao became emperor, he imitated the setting of the "box" and "army" in the Song Dynasty, took the Yellow River as the boundary, divided the whole territory of Xixia into left and right compartments, and set up a total of 12 military supervision divisions, each with a military name, and stationed in various military important places. Integrate military command structures with regional defense measures. The so-called military department is roughly the same as the army of the Great Song Dynasty, but it has more power than the military of the Great Song Dynasty, and is not only in charge of the army, but also in charge of civil affairs. The military divisions of the Western Xia have always been the institutions of the integration of the military and the government, and it was not until Li Liangzuo personally took power that the military supervision department was set up to be in charge of civil affairs and the separation of the military and the government.

Seeing the three hundred cavalry on his side shouting together, Xifeng Yingdian was so frightened that the people on the walled wall didn't even dare to show their heads and reply, and couldn't help but be more proud, and threatened the walled wall more unscrupulously.

Yang Huaiyu is the son of a family, young and vigorous, unbearable, seeing that Xifeng Yingdian is so arrogant, he can't help but be angry, and immediately let people bring the only few longbows in Jingqiang Village.

Yang Huaiyu found the hardest one among those infantry longbows, this infantry shooting longbow has one stone and five buckets, and ordinary people really can't pull it away.

Yang Huaiyu took the longbow of the infantry shooting, picked an armor-breaking cone from the quiver, held the longbow firmly with his left hand, put the armor-breaking cone on the bow with his right hand, exhaled and opened his voice, pulled the bowstring like a full moon, glanced at the heart of the fine seal Yingdian, and as soon as his fingers were loosened, the armor-breaking cone flew towards the party leader like a meteor.

The fine seal Yingdian thought that the people on the wall were frightened by themselves, and were shouting triumphantly towards the wall, Yang Huaiyu's arrow was shot at a very fast speed, and when he heard his subordinates exclaim, he saw clearly that the armor-piercing cone, it was too late to dodge or use a shield to cover it, and at the moment he just subconsciously flashed slightly to the side.

Although the armor-piercing cone did not shoot him in the heart, it still shot him in the shoulder, and with a "poof", the armor-piercing cone easily penetrated his armor and shot into his shoulder, and the sound of arrows entering the flesh was heard clearly, and the huge inertia lifted him under the horse.

Although most of the party cavalry in this team are dressed in leather armor, there are also a few people with slightly higher status who are wearing iron armor, and Xi Feng Yingdian, as the commander of this cavalry, is naturally also wearing iron armor, but Rao is so, he was still easily shot through the armor by Yang Huaiyu's armor-piercing cone and shot in the shoulder. If the fine seal Yingdian is wearing leather armor, it is estimated that the shoulder will be shot by Yang Huaiyu!

Zhong Hao couldn't help but raise his understanding of Yang Huaiyu's force value to a higher level.

Yang Huaiyu shot an arrow at the commander of this group of party cavalry, and the soldiers on the wall couldn't help but burst into cheers.

Zhong Hao poked his head out and shouted loudly to the Xia cavalry: "This arrow is our reply to Jingqiang Village, if you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't fight, get out!" ”

The people on the wall listened to Zhong Hao's domineering reply, and couldn't help but feel that it was a big boost, and they couldn't help shouting loudly: "If you want to fight, you will fight, if you don't fight, get out!" ”

When the party cavalry heard the imposing response of the people in the stockade, they couldn't help but be a little commotionous and a little chaotic. Xifeng Yingdian fell under the horse, and his body was in pain and he couldn't speak for a while, and several of his personal soldiers quickly dismounted and lifted him forward and retreated to the back. The cavalry under his command also retreated a little under the command of several chiefs, in case the hard bows on the wall of the wall were fired again.

The fine seal Yingdian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly in one sentence: "I'm angry with Lao Tzu, the children listen to the order: show Lao Tzu some means, and teach these Song dogs who don't know how to live or die!" ”

The cavalry under the command of Xifeng Yingdian replied loudly: "Order!" ”

The party cavalry regained their position, and the horses began to accelerate towards Jingqiang Village, and began to draw their bows and shoot arrows. At one moment, countless arrows were thrown at the wall, and Zhong Hao and the soldiers on the wall hurriedly dodged behind the battlements and held up shields to defend.

"Tuk tuk tuk", for a while, the wooden shield above the head was constantly beaten by arrows. The party cavalry rushed to the moat when they turned their horses' heads, galloped horizontally along the moat, and kept shooting arrows at the wall, the moat was very close to the village, the arrows of the party cavalry were more threatening, many arrows even shot through the wooden shield, and many Jingqiang villagers were injured by arrows for a while.

The soldiers of Jingqiang Village have been suppressed by the party cavalry and it is difficult to raise their heads, some of the soldiers poke their heads out of the battlement and shoot back, but they are all in a hurry to shoot arrows, there is no accuracy, and the party cavalry is riding on horses, galloping non-stop, so they did not shoot a few party cavalry. On the contrary, he was shot by the party cavalry with accurate archery skills, and many Jingqiang village soldiers.

Fortunately, there is a moat to block it, otherwise, this cavalry has bows and arrows to suppress the people on the wall, and it is possible to succeed even if it is a simple hook to climb the wall. The people on the wall of his own wall were so suppressed by the Xia army's bow and arrow that they couldn't raise their heads, and they had to risk being shot through to cut the hook.

Zhong Hao secretly bitter in his heart: I didn't expect the bows and arrows of this Xia army cavalry to be so powerful, it's too early to say it!

It took a while for the rain of arrows from the party to stop, and Zhong Hao asked people to hurry up and treat the wounded.

At this time, another party member shouted under the wall: "The Song dog on the village knows that we are powerful, if you know each other, open the door and surrender quickly, otherwise when the village is broken, people and animals will not be left!" ”

Zhong Hao poked his head out and just said one word: "Phew! And he took no more care of the servant.

Zhong Hao pulled Yang Huaiyu aside and asked with a worried face: "This party member really attacked the wall, can we prevent it?" ”

Yang Huaiyu saw that Zhong Hao was extremely contemptuous of the party cavalry just now, obviously not paying attention to it at all, why was he so worried in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but comfort and cheer up at the moment: "Big brother be careful, those party people are just scaring people, I don't believe that they can climb the wall by scratching the hook." ”

Zhong Hao still asked uneasily: "But if they have a bow and arrow to suppress, we don't dare to show our heads to cut the hook!" The one-zhang high wall, with a hook hanging, is estimated to come up in a few clicks. ”

Yang Huaiyu said with a smile: "Big brother, rest assured, it was difficult for us to fight back just now, because it takes both hands to draw a bow and shoot arrows, and the cooperation in our village is not skilled, so it is difficult to do when one person shoots an arrow, one person holds a shield for him to block, but the chopping hook can be used to hold a knife in one hand, and the wooden shield is held in one hand to cover it, and the other hand is to chop and scratch the hook!" And there are only 300 of those party members, how many arrows can they shoot! If one person shoots a dozen feather arrows at most, it is estimated that he will be exhausted, how can he always cover those who are climbing! ”

Zhong Hao listened to Yang Huaiyu's words, and couldn't help but feel at ease. It seems that I still know too little about this battle array, and I still need experienced people to command and defend the village!

At that moment, Zhong Hao said to Yang Huaiyu: "Big brother has limited experience, so don't add to the chaos." From now on, the defense of this wall will be under the full command of Zhong Rong! ”
