Chapter 251 Subduing the Cochined Soldiers
As soon as Nong Zhigao saw these hand crossbows, swallow-winged crossbows and those sleeve arrows, his eyes couldn't help but light up!
In the past half a month, the look in Nong Zhigao's eyes that had been sloppy was swept away, and he began to shine brightly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The low-lying expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a grim and resolute face, and the eyes that looked at those cross-toed soldiers were full of fierceness.
These short hand crossbows and swallow-winged crossbows, as well as the delicate sleeve arrows, were specially buried in the cave of Yufeng Mountain, the nest of the Nong people, when Nong Zhigao was still the emperor in Yongzhou City, in order to wait for the emergency.
However, although he had people hide these portable and powerful weapons in this lair at that time, he did not expect to be able to use them so quickly.
At that time, he was proud, and his 100,000 troops swept across Liangguang and Guangzhou, but did not meet the enemy, which made the Song army invincible.
Although at that time, out of prudence, he buried these hand crossbows, swallow wing crossbows, and hidden arrows in the cave of this Yufeng Mountain in case of emergency, but he really didn't expect that he would be able to use these things one day. The reason why he made the move of burying these weapons was purely because he had been bullied by the Jiaozhi people in the past, and he had developed a cautious habit of taking precautions in advance.
But what Nong Zhigao didn't expect was that his army would be defeated by the Song army so easily, and his dream of separating Lingnan would be shattered so easily. Thinking of this, Nong Zhigao's eyes couldn't help but flash with endless unwillingness and helplessness!
As his own army was completely defeated by the Western Army led by Di Qing, and he himself escaped with only five hundred Nong soldiers of the descendant lineage, Nong Zhigao knew that these hand crossbows, swallow wing crossbows and hidden arrows would definitely be of great use in the future, and these things would definitely be the capital for him to save his life and gain a foothold.
In Nong Zhigao's opinion, these hand crossbows, swallow-winged crossbows, and sleeve arrows may be far less powerful than those bows and arrows such as infantry longbows and hardwood riding bows, or large crossbow arrows such as eight-ox crossbows and bed crossbows in large-scale military battles.
However, in small-scale combat or melee combat, its role is still quite significant. Especially when used in the conquest with these feudal tribes in southern Xinjiang, they will definitely become a sharp weapon that they can rely on, and these hand crossbows, swallow-winged crossbows and hidden arrows will definitely play a huge role against those barbarians and wingman tribal warriors in southern Xinjiang who basically have no armor to protect themselves.
In fact, there are generally no large-scale battles in these confined prefectures in southern Xinjiang! Generally, a tribe has one or two thousand soldiers, and it is definitely a strong tribe.
The reason why these tribes in southern Xinjiang don't have too many soldiers is not that there are too few barbarians and wingmen here, but mainly because most of these tribes here are very poor and cannot afford to equip those soldiers at all. Many of these tribal soldiers in the southern Xinjiang Prefecture are considered warriors with their own bamboo guns and arrows, and the tribes that can equip the soldiers with iron weapons can definitely be regarded as very powerful tribes.
And he still has 500 Nong soldiers under his command, if he is equipped with these portable shooting weapons such as hand crossbows and swallow-wing crossbows, even if it is easy to deal with those unguarded regular troops, it should be no problem to deal with those barbarians and wingman clan soldiers. Therefore, he regarded these hand crossbows and swallow-winged crossbows, as well as those hidden arrows, as the foundation for their Nong clan to gain a foothold in the future.
Nong Zhigao immediately thought of being caught by the Jiaozhi army more than ten days ago and insulted by Li De'an in the Jiaozhi military camp, and looked like those Jiaozhi soldiers who were cooking in a pot, and couldn't help but feel even more resentful.
After his army was defeated by the Western Army that day, Nong Zhigao knew that Yongzhou City could not be defended, so he immediately made a decision and used a trick "Golden Cicada Shell", preparing to flee back to Guangyuan Prefecture, in order to make a comeback in his old nest.
But before he could escape back to Guangyuan Prefecture, the cavalry of the Western Army chased after him. In order to get rid of those cavalry of the Western Army, he planned to take refuge in the 100,000 mountains, but he was caught by the Jiaozhi army stationed in front of Tagu Ling.
Nong Zhigao remembered what he had done in the Jiaozhi Army barracks, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.
After being caught by the Jiaozhi army, he was insulted by Li De'an. But fortunately, he pretended to be small, gave treasures, and promised to dig gold for Li De'an, so he was left with his life. This made Nong Zhigao, who had been an emperor and had been majestic, feel insulted, and his heart was already full of resentment. Just to save his life, Nong Zhigao buried all this in his heart and didn't dare to reveal it a little.
Along the way, the two battalion commanders who escorted them, Zhu Dayue and Guan Santong, as well as those Jiaozhi soldiers under them, have all remembered the insults they have made, and sooner or later they will have to settle accounts with them!
Nong Zhigao actually seems to be coarse, but in fact he is quite scheming, in fact, he calculated Li De'an and his Jiaozhi army from the beginning. Nong Zhigao has long known that Li De'an has always been watching the Lingnan region, so he has taken advantage of his psychology.
When he was in the Jiaozhi barracks, he desperately boasted to Li De'an that those Western troops were vulnerable, saying that they were just shooting teams, and as long as they were short of troops, they would collapse in a hurry; What do you say, if it weren't for the~ Huang, Wei, and Wednesday families who were in chaos, their Nong army would have beaten those Western troops and the like, in order to "drive the tiger and devour the wolf", and instigated Li De'an, who was already salivating for Liangguang, to fight with the Western army.
Nong Zhigao has learned the combat effectiveness of the Western Army, it is definitely very strong, and as for those Jiaozhi troops, Nong Zhigao thinks that they are also quite strong. However, Nong Zhigao felt that this Jiaozhi Army was still a little worse than the Western Army. This "driving the tiger and devouring the wolf", in fact, Nong Zhigao thinks it should be more appropriate to say that it should be "driving the wolf into the mouth of the tiger". Because he instigated the drive of the slightly weaker Jiaozhi Army, it is slightly inappropriate to say that it is "driving the tiger and devouring the wolf".
Of course, if the Jiaozhi Army is strong enough to compete with the Western Army and fight a tragic match, Nong Zhigao feels that it will be better, this is the ending he wants to see the most! Well, in this case, it is impossible to say which one is a wolf in the Western Army or the Jiaozhi Army, and it should be more appropriate to call it "two tigers fighting".
In addition to calculating Li De'an's army and letting them fight with the Western Army, these Jiaozhi soldiers who escorted their Nong soldiers to come to get the buried treasures were naturally in his calculations. When Nong Zhigao was in the Jiaozhi army camp, he had already thought about using these hand crossbows, swallow-wing crossbows, and hidden arrows buried in this cave to deal with them!
Seeing that the Nong soldiers under his command brought out two or three hundred hand crossbows and swallow-wing crossbows from the cave, as well as nearly a hundred pairs of hidden arrows, Nong Zhigao felt that the time had come to take revenge on the Jiaozhi soldiers and let out a breath of evil anger in his heart......
…………
Nong Zhigao quickly asked his men to divide the hand crossbows, swallow-winged crossbows and hidden arrows, and everyone quickly wound up the arrows, ready to storm against those cross-finger soldiers. At the same time, his two military divisions, Huang Wei and Huang Shi? The two Nong soldiers led by Mi also equipped those hand crossbows, swallow wing crossbows, and hidden arrows respectively, and soon got ready to string them.
These three parts of the Nong soldiers had already taken their positions when they were digging up the buried treasure under the pretext of digging up the treasure just now. These three parts of the Nong soldiers are in the shape of a zigzag, and those Jiaozhi soldiers are surrounded in the middle in advance.
At this time, Nong Zhigao gave an order, and these Nong soldiers suddenly burst out, and they all aimed their crossbow arrows at the crossbow soldiers who were in the middle of the cave.
Those Jiaozhi soldiers were a little tired and sleepy all the way, and at this time they finally arrived at the place, they could take a good rest, and they had already relaxed. Except for those who were burying the pot and cooking, most of the rest dropped their weapons, took off their armor, and lay there to rest!
At this time, the Nong soldiers under the command of Nong Zhi suddenly broke out, and the mutation was abrupt, and those Jiaozhi soldiers couldn't help but be a little unable to react, these Nong soldiers who had been meek like sheep in front of them for half a month, why did they suddenly jump up one by one and stare at them!
Because of the suddenness of the incident, when the Nong soldiers under Nong Zhi's command aimed the crossbow arrows in their hands at the Jiaozhi soldiers who were still resting, most of the Jiaozhi soldiers could not respond.
Only a few of the quicker cross-chin soldiers immediately understood what was happening, and when they saw the sudden change, they couldn't help but jump up and grab their weapons. No matter what happens to a soldier, his first reaction is to pick up his weapon.
"Buzzing", suddenly there was a terrible sound of hand crossbows and swallow-winged crossbows firing crossbow arrows, occasionally mixed with the sound of "whooshing" hidden arrows firing, and many of the Jiaozhi soldiers who jumped up to get their weapons were shot and fell.
There were also some Jiaozhi soldiers who successfully picked up the weapons next to them, trying to wave them in vain and rush at those Nong soldiers. However, as the sound of the crossbow bolts firing sounded again, the cochin soldiers who rushed towards them wielding this weapon also quickly fell.
Obviously, in this case, the advantages of shooting weapons over those weapons such as knives and guns are very obvious. These hand crossbows and swallow-wing crossbows are all fired by powerful machines, and in this kind of close-range shooting situation, the power is very great, and it is very easy to penetrate the bodies of those cross-toe soldiers who have removed their leather armor.
"Don't move, whoever the fuck dares to move again, those people just now are your fate!" The Nong soldier with a crossbow arrow in his hand shouted loudly at this time.
Hearing that those who saw many of their comrades fall and blood burst out, the remaining Jiaozhi soldiers finally understood the situation in front of them completely! These Nong soldiers are going to rebel, and they really want to be against them!
Zhu Dayue and Guan Santong, the two commanders of the two battalions of Jiaozhi soldiers, also changed their faces at this time, seeing that those Nong soldiers were holding delicate crossbows in their hands, the two of them understood that Nong Zhigao had calculated them. These powerful and small and delicate hand crossbows, I am afraid that Nong Zhigao buried them early in the morning, and it is actually a set to dig treasures in this cave.
Zhu Dayue said angrily at this time: "Nong Zhigao, you want to die, you dare to be unfavorable to us, be careful that our prince will break your body into ten thousand pieces and completely eliminate your Nong clan!" ”
Guan Santong also scolded: "Nong Zhigao, if you dare to rebel, our Jiaozhi Kingdom will definitely not let you go!" ”
Hearing the words of Zhu Dayue and Guan Santong, Nong Zhigao's eyes were even more cold, and he said: "I, Lao Tzu himself is the emperor of the Great Southern Kingdom, and he has a fart relationship with you Jiaozhi Kingdom, which is the opposite?!" You'd fucking better be caught, if you dare to resist, this is the end! ”
As he spoke, Nong Zhigao raised his hand to stimulate the swallow-winged crossbow in his hand, and the short crossbow arrow shot out~ and hit the eyebrows of a cross-toed soldier next to Zhu Dayue. The cross-toed soldier suddenly fell straight backwards, making a loud "poof" sound that hit the ground.
Zhu Dayue couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the power of the swallow-winged crossbow. Originally, he also planned to use his own prince's revenge to bluff Nong Zhigao, and he was ready to fight back with Guan Santong and their Jiaozhi soldiers. He felt that there were few soldiers of the Nong tribe, and those short crossbows might not be very powerful, and they had a thousand crossbow soldiers, so they must have a chance to fight, at this time he saw the power of the swallow-winged crossbow in Nongzhi's master, and couldn't help but give up the plan to riot, this short crossbow is too powerful.
Nong Zhigao saw that his crossbow arrow had deterred those Jiaozhi soldiers, and immediately asked some of his Nong soldiers to collect the weapons and armor of those Jiaozhi soldiers and tie them back. Nong Zhigao didn't plan to let these Jiaozhi soldiers leave alive, so he took advantage of the temporary shock to deter them and quickly subdued them. Otherwise, if these cross-toe soldiers want to resist later, even if most of his subordinates have short crossbows in their hands, they may not be able to leave all of these cross-toe soldiers behind.
After all, there are more than 1,000 of these Jiaozhi soldiers, and if they rebel together, it will be difficult to kill them all. Nong Zhigao's plan was to leave all these Jiaozhi soldiers behind, and not a single one of them would be left alive. Therefore, immediately take advantage of the fact that those cross-toe soldiers are being intimidated, immediately control them first, and what you want to do with it later, you will be under control.
Seeing that those Nong soldiers came to tie them up, those Jiaozhi soldiers were a little bit unrestrained, and they couldn't help but get up and resist. Those Nong soldiers who were watching with short crossbows immediately buckled the opportunity of the short crossbow in their hands and shot those Jiaozhi soldiers who had abnormal movements.
Nong Zhi said sharply: "Whoever dares to move again, Lao Tzu will shoot you all immediately." ”
After a pause, Nong Zhigao continued: "Be fucking honest, Lao Tzu will give you prince a face, as long as your prince promises not to come to Lao Tzu again, you can be released!" "He was going to stabilize the soldiers first, so that they would not have to resist knowing that they were going to leave them all here.
Zhu Dayue and Guan Santong listened to Nong Zhigao's words, and made eye contact with each other, and they both felt that Nong Zhigao was afraid that he also knew that he had no capital to fight against their Jiaozhi country, and he might not dare to do anything to them, and Nong Zhigao must also be afraid of the revenge of his own prince.
In the current situation, to resist is to die, or not to resist, it is estimated that Nong Zhigao may not dare to do anything to them. If he really killed them all, Nong Zhigao would definitely not be able to withstand the thunderous anger of his own prince. Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but let go of their thoughts of resistance, and ordered their subordinates not to resist, and let those Nong soldiers tie them up.
