Chapter 494: Tian Hu is embarrassed and the Khitan is angry

The equipment of the Xingzhou defenders was very rudimentary. Just because this place was once captured by Tian Hu, the military reserves no longer exist.

It can be seen from Li Gang's training of soldiers and the need to open the furnace for iron smelting as soon as he is equipped with more weapons. Not to mention the bed crossbow and the divine arm bow, there is no one, that is, the bows and arrows are mostly people's bows.

And the loyal soldiers under the city and the Liangshan military horses later, the equipment is as rudimentary, they all the way to Xingzhou, Hugh said that it is a siege artifact such as Liangshan cannon, that is, there is no ladder car, bed crossbow.

This battle under the city of Xingzhou is undoubtedly a low-tech fight.

- The range of the Strongbow is limited, and the relative lethality is even more ordinary.

The only thing to look forward to on the city is that there is no shortage of arrows, and Li Gang arranged the rolling wood and stone early, and also built a war shed at the head of the city, and arranged countless bamboo and wooden stands.

In an instant, the bowstrings on the city's head rattled, and the arrows were like locusts!

The Loyal Warriors only used long cards to protect the top of their heads, and the front and back were connected to protect the torso. The rain of arrows came one after another, but they could only shoot the "aggressive" sound of the long cards, but did not see the slightest practicality. It's like a torrential rain beating down on the roof tiles, and people only hear the sound in the house, but they don't see its effect.

Long signs were erected on the left and right wings, and archers at the head of the city shot from both wings, but it didn't work. What's more, the outer soldiers are all wearing heavy armor, even if they are shot in the waist, legs, shoulders and arms, they are not critical, and they should not be used.

The entire shield array was like a big turtle shell, moving forward steadily without any chaos.

Li Ganghu's heart hurts, if there are a few more bed crossbows in Xingzhou City, how dare the thief army be so presumptuous?

But he could only watch as the turtle shell formation formed by the loyal warriors reached a distance of fifty paces below the city with arrows from the top of the city. Then, with super dense firepower, he instantly covered a section of the city wall in front of him with arrows and crossbows.

Compared with the total number of crossbowmen in and out of the city, it is naturally the majority of the city. There can be a shield array, but what is the concept of forming a shield array that covers thousands of crossbowmen?

Wang Yan didn't have to do this, and he wouldn't be so unwise. He only needs to form multiple shield formations with his men and horses and attack in turns, which is enough to make the city head difficult to parry.

And he wants all the crossbowmen in the turtle shell array to concentrate on shooting, even if the archers at the head of the city have a battle tent, a standing card and a female wall battlement to protect it, it will lose a lot. Moreover, manpower is sometimes exhausted, and it is rare for an ordinary archer to bend his bow and shoot an arrow twenty times, which is not a gun, and the continuity between them is very different.

If the defenders of the city wanted to maintain the continuity of the archers, they could only mobilize their troops and horses. Remove the original archers and transfer the archers in good condition from both sides to fill the vacancy. But don't forget, this is the battlefield, the defenders are a group of rookies, they are already nervous, and then they move back and forth on the narrow city walls, and there is a threat of loyal soldiers under the city to loom over the city at all times, it is not surprising!

In fact, it is.

In order to maintain the combat strength of the archers, Li Gang could only frequently mobilize the archers to fill the position, so that the order at the head of the city was in chaos.

Wang Yan saw the opportunity and personally led a group of armored soldiers forward. The wooden stand is at the forefront, and when there is no threat from the bed crossbow, the wooden stand is even better than the shield car.

The team rushed straight to the bottom of the city, and the three-zhang wide moat could not become a moat. When bundles of dry wood were lowered into the moat, when the rows were pressed down, a two-zhang wide passage was soon laid.

A simple long ladder was erected at the head of the city, and loyal soldiers in armor carried shields, and everyone prostrated themselves on the ant.

Naturally, arrows rained down on the city's head, and rolling wood and stones kept falling, but the loyal and brave troops continued to pour in.

Li Zongzhi led a large number of armored soldiers to rush to the city, but he could not suppress the momentum of the loyal army. Wang Yan made up his mind about this battle, how could it be so easy to stop? You must know that there is Liang Shanjun watching behind them.

defeated the enemy in a war, but it also increased the face of their surrendered army. If you collide with such a city, you can't go down in one go, and it will be too embarrassing.

Lu Zhishen was wearing armor, and he was still covered with a layer of monk's robes, but he stood in front of the ten thousand armies, and he was not a monk at all, his tall figure was like an iron tower, and his dark face was full of beard. Now a pair of eyes are staring at the battle under the city, Yu Wang Yan is very satisfied. "The prince really has a strategy."

As he spoke, he saw a general leaping into the city, wielding a steel knife in his hand, and killing several people in the blink of an eye. Call the defenders of the city to take a picture.

"Kill—" Li Zongzhi shouted hysterically! This man must be suppressed as soon as possible, and the thief army on the head of the city will not increase all the time, and if the number increases, it will inevitably be bad.

The hundreds of unarmored soldiers on both wings also moved when they heard the wind, like an iron tong, outflanked from both ends!

When his roar also made Wang Yan see the target, he immediately held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and rushed straight towards Li Zongzhi's killing.

Lu Zhishen held the clairvoyant mirror, and the person was like a stiff stone, and there was no movement for a quarter of an hour. Fang put down the clairvoyant mirror and let out a long breath, and immediately heard the deafening cheers of the loyal soldiers from both above and below the city.

In the crowd, Wang Yan held a knife in one hand and Li Zongzhi's head in the other, shouting loudly. The morale of the loyal and brave troops was greatly boosted, while the morale of the defenders plummeted.

"Suo Chao."

Lu Zhishen immediately ordered the general, and the vanguard received the order awe-inspiringly, and heard the war drums in the Liangshan army's large array sounding rapidly, and a thousand armored soldiers rushed straight to the city wall with the sound of drums. This is to support his little brother, and a sense of happiness instantly rises from the bottom of the hearts of the loyal soldiers. If so, the morale of the loyal and brave soldiers is even better.

Before Suo Chao arrived with a golden axe, Wang Yan beheaded the Xingzhou soldiers and horses again, and the remaining regiment of Lian Envoys fled for their lives. And Li Gang led 100 people to guard the city gate tower, guarding the upper and lower passages on both sides of here.

"Shoot the ......"

A large number of loyal and brave soldiers have poured into the city, and Wang Yan is not a reckless general, so he ordered people to shoot first, and then a hundred and ten heavy armored soldiers rushed in.

Li Gang now has a very pessimistic style of life and death, since Li Zongzhi was beheaded, his heart has also died. Hate only hated his hard work for months, but he was broken by the thief army so easily, and hate only hated that he couldn't have a few thieves.

"If you have the intention to kill the thief, you can't return to heaven; has the intention to kill the thief, but has no power to return to the sky. "After speaking, draw your sword and slash your neck, and die cleanly.

At this time, Li Gang is still unknown, yes, a Zhizhou, if he dies, he will die. Lu Qian didn't feel a pity when he received the letter, Li Gang and his father and his two brothers were both officials in the Song Dynasty, and it was almost impossible for this person to surrender, and in his heart he didn't feel that Li Gang was talented, so he died.

His gaze had already crossed Xingzhou and came to Zhaozhou.

The north of Zhaozhou is Zhending, and its west is Shenzhou, when Tian Hu almost collapsed here, now King Tian is going to make a comeback.

Hejian Mansion was lost to the Liangshan army, and the whole army had already entered Shenzhou. Helplessly, Tian Hu didn't want to lose Hejian. The terrain here is flat and fertile, and the water source is abundant, and if possible, Tian Hu is not willing to lose the river to the Liangshan army in vain. But this is all a helpless move.

Tian Hu claimed to be the king of Jin, not to mention that Liang Shanjun would undoubtedly contain him, even if he showed his intentions, Tian Hu didn't dare to agree.

Looking at the records of the Qing History, how many people can spend the rest of their lives in peace when they go to the king's name?

Don't think that Zhao Da Zhao Er treats Wu Yue Qian with preferential treatment, just think that the latter is too comfortable, that is just a special case.

Empress Li didn't mention it, Xiao Zhouhou's humiliation didn't mention, go to see the queen of Shu Meng Chang go down? Meng Chang surrendered to the Song Dynasty, was captured to the Beijing Division, visited the school Taishi and Zhongshu Ling, sealed the Duke of Qin, and died. You can see it.

Yes, Tian Hu can only go out.

The Liao State in the north is a giant with feet of mud, but the Khitan people have accumulated power for a hundred years, and it is still not something he dares to provoke. Tian Hu couldn't see what the road ahead was, so he could only follow the will of the Liang Shanjun and go all the way to the west.

Shenzhou is not their place to stay, Zhaozhou and Zhending are not their places of existence, and Liang Shanjun did not give a word of approval, but just asked them to go west.

Tian Hu planned to return to Hedong for the time being, if the Liangshan Army used the ether as a boundary, then he would be able to run Hedong for a while, so as not to suffer the current embarrassment again.

Now he has no courage to fight Guanzhong in the west, provoke the Liao State without courage, provoke the Western Xia, and still have no courage, which makes Tian Hu very aggrieved! But when facing the envoys of the Liangshan army, he still had to greet him with a smile.

In fact, it is not only Tian Hu who has changed his senses for the Liangshan army, but also the Khitan Daliao in the north.

Bao Xu led 300 people to set off a lot of waves in the southern border of Nanjing Road, and the Liangshan army in Cangzhou was only two days late, and the troops were sent to the west. The Khitan soldiers at the bottom may not connect the two, but in the eyes of those high-ranking Khitan nobles, Song Jiang is already close to fighting with open fire.

The god of mourning caused a lot of trouble to the Khitans, but he never broke through the 'bottom line' - inserted into the hinterland of Nanjing Road, which is an obvious example in the eyes of the Khitan nobles.

But can they use this as a reason to turn against Liang Shanjun? The latter sent Chen Guan and shouted that the Khitans could not go south, otherwise the Liangshan army would take necessary measures.

Chen Guan also brought a handwritten letter from Lu Qian to the Khitans - if people don't offend me, I won't offend people; If anyone sins against me, I will offend them.

The sixteen big characters can only be said to be written in general, but the pen is as sharp as a knife, but it is filled with an awe-inspiring murderous aura.

At the beginning of the Liao Dynasty, the army went out to fight, and the men and horses did not give grain and grass, and the day sent the grass valley to ride out to plunder for it. To put it bluntly, it means that the army is dispatched to attack without logistics and rations, and all supplies are looted on the spot.

Ding Zhuang died on the blade, the old and weak entrusted to the ravine, from the east and southwest of Ji and Zheng, Hua, Cao, Pu, hundreds of miles, wealth and livestock were exhausted.

This is the description of the Zhao and Song literati about the battle of Lanzhou.

At that time, the Liao State was still in its heyday, and the grass valley was already so cool, and if it was changed to now, the Liao army that was forced to the extreme poured into the Han realm, wouldn't it be the same as a poor ghost falling into the treasure mountain? Sweep it all?

Even though Lu Qian could instigate Tian Hu to jump out of the cage and stir up half of Hebei into peace, he couldn't watch the millions of people in the northern frontier fall into the hands of the Khitans.

The Khitan people were naturally extremely angry at Lu Qian's attitude towards Lu Qianzhi and Song Jiang's methods. But they will not openly tear their faces with the Liangshan army, this is not what it used to be, and the Khitan is no longer the Khitan of the past.

Their method is to raise military horses on the one hand, suppress Bao Xu, and at the same time, go to the south to make a big profit. The other is to ask someone to expel Chen Guan and his entourage from the post house to show their attitude. ()
