Chapter 0699: The First Battle of the Liao State
Without asking, the two of them knew that the city lord must be a Liao.
He probably wanted to establish a pasture on his territory that he should have as a Liao nobleman, and then graze cattle and horses.
It's just that he perfectly destroyed the proper use of the hills on both sides of the city.
Yang Wu smiled proudly at Yang Da, "I'll leave first, and this idiot city lord will be handed over to you." ”
Yang Wu led the Iron Cavalry under his command, as well as the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Reserve, and easily crossed the hills on horseback.
And the Liao nobles at the head of the city could only grit their teeth and watch.
Yang Wu led the Iron Cavalry around the rear of the city, and chose a place that was conducive to the Iron Cavalry fighting and could block the enemy's reinforcements, easily cutting off the connection between this city and other cities.
After Yang Da reconfirmed that Yang Wu had cut off the enemy's reinforcements, he raised his hand and ordered the Fuxing Army, which was ready to attack at any time, "Beat the drums!" Besiege! ”
"Knock knock ......"
Eighteen big men threw off their arms and beat the drum that was larger than their waists.
The kick drum made a dull sound.
A "General's Order" immediately spread to the ears of all the officers and men of the Renaissance Army.
"Kill!"
Achievements are just around the corner.
With Yang Qi having meat to eat, Yang Qi will not treat his brothers badly, this is the consensus of all the soldiers in the four northwestern provinces.
The meritorious service system of the four northwestern provinces is very special, the head is only linked to military merits, and a certain amount of military merit can be promoted, but the number of enemies killed is not rewarded with money or land.
Some soldiers who have no hope of promotion, or just want to mix a rich and noble soldier in the army, why would they kill the enemy so bravely?
Because in the meritorious system of the four northwestern provinces, there is another one.
The proceeds of the seizure can be taken in 30%.
In other words, if you grab a hundred taels, you can get thirty taels.
Of all the ways to accumulate wealth, robbery is always the fastest way to accumulate wealth.
It is illegal to rob in the four northwestern provinces, but robbing the enemy on the enemy's territory is not called robbery, it is called seizure.
If you want to take the enemy's money, the enemy can't give it up obediently, so there is only one way left.
Kill him! And then robbed him of all his money.
There are rangers who have made a fortune by robbing in the past, and almost all the soldiers and horses in the four northwestern provinces know that robbery is the most profitable.
When they are blinded by money one by one, they are the most fierce pawns and the most cruel bandits.
Die?
They don't care!
Especially those who have wives and children, they don't care the most.
If he loses his life on the battlefield, the government will issue a large amount of pension, which will be personally delivered to his wife and children.
The most important thing is that their children will not be orphaned and end up on the streets.
The government will help you raise your children and pay for them to read and write.
From the very beginning, the battle entered the most tragic stage.
The soldiers who rushed to the front climbed to the top of the city without fear of death, and those who died in front followed behind.
No one is afraid of death, and no one is afraid of the battlefield of Shura.
Those who have experienced the Great War of Fuxingguan have seen the real Shura field.
Compared to the brutality of that war, it was a drizzle.
The gunpowder soldiers, carrying bags of animal skins, rushed to the city gate, lit the powder jars, and threw them under the city gates.
"Boom!"
There was an explosion.
A hole was blown out of the wooden door, but the door was not blown open.
Looking through the blasted hole, you can see that there are heavy and hard blue stones piled up behind it.
The shouts of killing in his ears continued, and seven or eight gunpowder soldiers in charge of blasting looked at the big bluestone at the door and gathered together to think about countermeasures.
"What to do? The general is still counting on our gunpowder soldiers to show their might. The two-ball players in the city looked at the killing, but in fact, they didn't have the strength to die. They're all waiting for us to blow open the gates, and then rush in and grab something. ”
"If the gates can't be blown open, we'll be whipped. Storm a city, and the battle damage is so great. We have few people, so Huhou gave us a lot of gunpowder. ”
"If you don't have more gunpowder, the yellow one by one, the one the general said should be used with caution."
"Yes, that's it. Lao Tzu still doesn't believe that they can stuff everything into stone. ”
"Get!"
“……”
Seven or eight gunpowder men quickly pulled out an elaborate cube-like thing.
In one go, six were piled up at the gates of the city.
"Puff~"
The fire was lit, and seven or eight gunpowder soldiers withdrew to a distance of four or five zhang according to the previous drill.
"Boom!"
“……”
Two earth-shattering explosions.
The whole city shook with it.
A large hole was blown out of the city gate.
Seven or eight gunpowder men were buried in the earth by the rubble and dirt kicked up by the gunpowder.
They had not used granular gunpowder before.
This thing was temporarily equipped by Yang Qi, and asked the overseers in the army to explain their cautious use.
A few guys didn't know the power of the granule gunpowder, and it was normal to be buried in it when it was ignited.
A big guy was the first to arch out of the dirt.
After he came out, he spat a few mouthfuls of spit, and sighed with a big sigh, "It's too fierce!" The Sprinkler family likes this kind of strong and fierce thing. ”
After sighing, he realized that several of his other brothers were still buried in the earth.
He ignored the marks on his forehead from the rubble, and his hands were quickly scraping his brother.
After several people helped each other to dig it out.
The big man said to his brothers: "It's too fierce! Boy! From now on, this thing will be in my hands. ”
"What do you say?"
"Huh?"
“……”
A few guys were shocked by the sound of the explosion and were temporarily deaf.
Didn't wait for them to regain their hearing.
Seeing a big hole in the city gate, the soldiers of the Renaissance Army rushed into the city.
There is such a thing as snatching things, and there is no hand fast or slow.
Fight the enemy?
The city is broken, and it is easy to kill the enemy.
The speed at which the soldiers and horses of the four northwestern provinces cleaned up the battlefield was the first among all countries.
When Yang Da straddled into the city, the soldiers of the Revival Army came out happily one by one with their own captures.
There were fifteen thousand men and horses defending the city.
They slaughtered more than six thousand.
Nearly nine thousand captives remained.
plus those Liao nobles in the city, etc., there are more than 10,000 people.
Suddenly, there were tens of thousands of captives, which made Yang Da a little headache.
Since their brothers went to the four northwestern provinces to start fighting, they have confiscated prisoners.
In this crusade against the Liao State, when they discussed, they did not mention how to settle the prisoners.
According to the meaning of the evil star of the Fallen Son, he never took prisoners in battle, and captives were a burden.
Yang Da didn't think about taking prisoners, but who told the Liao army in the city not to fight.
Before they could do it seriously, they voted.
With so many more captives, what to do? Carrying it is certainly a burden.
