Chapter 1034 Invincible Bow Horse VS Iron Cavalry Charge - Traitorous Ministers Mislead the Country

On the battlefield on both sides of Anyang Koupu, the attack and killing of the Song and Liao sides were in full swing.

In the north of the Anyangkoupu checkpoint, after the failure of the battering ram, the Han army of Ma Renwang actually pulled more than a dozen stone cannons, forced the city to stand, and launched large and small stones towards the city wall guarded by the Song army.

And these stone cannons are not traditional rope-drawn models, but counterweight stone generators that cleverly use the lever principle! At first glance, it is a high-tech weapon designed by the craftsmen of Jiehe Shoshi City using the knowledge of "metaphysics"!

It is not surprising that the Han army guards of the Liao people have such weapons, and Jiehe Shang City was originally shared by Song and Liao, so the Yuntai School Palace has never closed the door to the children of Yandi Haoqiang. Of course, there are also some children of Yandi Haoqiang who have learned to make counterweight stone cannons, which are now used to deal with the unlucky Zhong Fu.

Because of the rush of time, these stone cannons are very crudely made and have a short range. Therefore, it can only approach the city pass of Anyangkoupu and erect it, and it is not very far from the trench dug by the Song army in front of Anyangkoupu. Next to each stone cannon, there are dozens of Han soldiers busy operating. The large and small stone raindrops are generally thrown to the head of the city of Anyangkoupu. Every stone bullet fell on the top of the city, either stirring up a burst of flying rubble, or smashed on the bodies of the soldiers guarding the pass, and suddenly the bones were broken and the tendons were broken, and they didn't even have time to scream, and they were already killed.

And the officers and soldiers of the Han army guards of the brigade were on standby behind the stone cannons, carrying cloud ladders, ready to attack the city at any time. The rain of stone bullets made it difficult for the Song army on the city to gain a foothold, and the archers guarding the pro-army took the opportunity to approach the trench, standing in rows, and firing dense feathered arrows towards the city pass. The Song army, who was so close that he couldn't raise his head!

On the other side of Anyangkoupu, the Song army had resisted the four rounds of onslaught of the Liao soldiers by relying on the hard village, but it also paid a lot of price. The fence in front of the camp has all been torn down, the trench has been filled in seven or eight passages, and in front of the eight-foot-high wall, the corpses of the Song army and the Liao army are still full of bags of sand and soil. It seems that the Liao army attacked the fortified land and met with stubborn resistance from the Song army! On the wall, the Song soldiers held huge side signs, covering the crossbowmen and archers to release arrows round by round. Hand-to-hand fighters with swords and spears stood behind the wall, and once the crossbowmen had withdrawn, it was time for them to fight for their lives.

However, the traditional Song army forbidden army heavy bow and crossbow and light hand-to-hand combat, and the number of armor soldiers who could fight hand-to-hand combat was not many. It's hard to inflict enough lethal damage on the enemy!

Moreover, after a few rounds of death-to-death battles, the already small hand-to-hand combat soldiers have already suffered a lot of losses, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to continue to resist. Zhong Fu could only forcibly recruit strong men from the auxiliaries and people, and issued swords and shields to serve as cannon fodder.

After four rounds of attacks with the cannon fodder of the Jingzhou soldiers as the main force, the elite drawn from the palace division army was already assembling at this time. Each soldier was clad in a double layer of heavy armor, with a black coat on the outside and a chain of armor on the inside, and each of them was armed with a grown blade. The archers drawn from the Imperial Tent Army, dressed in armor, approached again under the cover of the wooden canopy supported by the auxiliaries. These good archers are hiding behind the wooden tree, and naturally they do not seek accurate hits, but only use the method of throwing heavy arrows to cover the blow. In fact, the real purpose was to lure the Song army's crossbowmen to return fire. to deplete their limited stamina!

At this time, Zhong Fu had been driven down from the city gate of Anyangkou by the stone cannons of the Liao soldiers, and a temporary Chinese army was set up in the safe city gate cave. Dozens of his personal guards brought out from the Western Army, plus strong men selected from the four generals under his command, a total of about two or three hundred, all wore helmets and armor, and gasped at the foot of the city wall. There were also some auxiliaries and civilians who were serving them to eat and drink, apparently to keep them in good spirits and ready to fight at any time.

As long as Zhong Fu gives an order, these strong men will immediately attack and pounce on the breach that was broken through by the Liao army!

Relying on the repeated counterattacks of these few strong men, Zhong Fu finally withstood most of the day, and now the sky is gradually darkening, but the Liao army has no intention of stopping, it seems that they are preparing for a night battle!

Zhong Fu, who has been in the battle formation in the northwest for a long time, knows that the Liao people are going to fight a fatigue war! There are many of them, and they can take turns to fight. And he has few people, and he is suffering from the enemy on his back, so he has to grit his teeth and fight for a few days and nights, and he should almost be exhausted......

But what can you do if you don't make it through? Can you hope for reinforcements? Dream on! The only thing that could be fought on the battlefield in Hebei was the Cangzhou cavalry under the command of Wu Haogu. But this side is more than 500 miles away from Cangzhou! Even if Wu Haogu, a traitor, is willing to send rescuers, he won't be able to come in seven or eight days!

Alas! It's all traitors and traitors! Traitors have misled the country!

……

"It's all traitors who have misled the country! The old man must be ruthless and scatter the ancient book! ”

The boundary hippopotamus really runs relatively fast, and Liang Zimei, who was born in a family of lords, is also a master who can ride a horse. At this time, he had already run to Zhending Mansion, and scolded the traitorous minister Wu Haogu in front of the stunned Wang Yang.

Wang Yang had a gloomy face, and he had the urge to hang Liang Zimei up and beat him. How could this Liang Zimei abandon the city and flee? Even if there is only one general of the defenders, they can hold out in Dingzhou for a while! Dingzhou is a serious state city!

Moreover, Wang Yang had also handed over half of his troops to Zhong Fu to take to reinforce Dingzhou. It's good now, it's all meat buns for dogs.

What's even more infuriating is that Liang Zimei only cared about fleeing for her life, and did not take the one in Dingzhou City to retreat to Zhending Mansion. As a result, there was a battalion roar on the way to retreat, and less than 500 of the nearly 5,000 regular soldiers and auxiliaries withdrew into Zhending Mansion!

Now there are less than 3,000 soldiers in the city of Zhendingfu, if the Liao people call, what should they do?

"Pacify, now you can only rely on group training!" Han Xiaoxuan, who rushed to hear the news, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said to Wang Yang, "The lower official already has a name, you can go back to Xiangzhou to recruit troops immediately!" The people of Xiangzhou are martial arts, and there are many strong men hiding in the people, as long as they are gathered, they should be able to fight. ”

In fact, the folk customs of Hebei are all strong, and in history, it took a lot of effort for the Jurchens to pacify Hebei! There was also a Eight-Character Army on Taihang Mountain, and they spent a lot of time with the Jurchens.

In the process of the Jin soldiers moving south, Dingzhou City also carried out a long-term resistance, which lasted for two years. And this time it fell so quickly, in fact, it was caused by two reasons, one is that the traitor Wu Haogu recruited troops at a high price in the Jiehe Commercial Market, which attracted many local martial artists and heroes in Dingzhou to Jiehe; The second is that before Liang Zimei could fully mobilize and organize the group exercise, the Liao soldiers came in, and Liang Zimei was also half-hearted about organizing the group exercise.

This regimental training is approaching an armed force outside the imperial court's economic system, and it is not easy to control!

Therefore, after Han Xiaoxuan took up the post of training envoy of the Zhending Fulu Regiment, he also had some reservations, and did not go all out to mobilize his own forces in Xiangzhou to form an arm.

"Husband, haven't we already recruited tens of thousands of people?" Wang Yang didn't quite understand Han Xiaoxuan's words. He is a person from Jiangnan West Road, and the folk customs of Jiangnan West Road are not as good as Xiangzhou on the edge of Taihang Mountain. There is no such high-level giant room as the Xiangzhou Han family, so naturally I don't know how much strength the Xiangzhou Han family will have once they arm themselves with all their might.

"Pacify, this is different...... Han Xiaoxuan just shook his head, "Please appease Ji Yizhi, who is a big name, to send a document and ask for a good weapon produced by the Jiehe River, and it must be transported to Xiangzhou City as soon as possible!" ”

"Good, good!" Wang Yang doesn't care so much, the Xiangzhou Han family is his lifeline, as long as he can pull up the team, he can do anything.

"I have to let Wu Haogu send troops!" Liang Zimei was unwilling, gritted her teeth and said, "Why don't we play it together and ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to transfer Cangzhou Iron Cavalry to Hebei West Road."

Now most of Zhong Fu's four elite soldiers are besieged somewhere, as long as the Cangzhou cavalry can come, they should be able to be rescued. ”

I don't even know where the siege is, where can Cangzhou Iron Ride to save it?

Wang Yang knew that Liang Zimei's words were unreliable, but he still glanced at Han Xiaoxuan.

"Let's play!" Han Xiaoxuan said, "By the way, I will participate in the martial arts again!" He was the commander of Hebei Xuan, and he was ordered to train the Hebei New Army...... Now that the Hebei New Army has no combat power, can he get away with it? ”

Wang Yang nodded, "Okay!" Then let's go! ”

In fact, Han Xiaoxuan didn't want to really bring down Wu Haogu...... Without the big tree of Wuhaogu, how could the "Xiangjun" of the Xiangzhou Han family thrive?

The "Xiang Army" is also used to guard against the force of the new army of Yuntai!

So if Han Xiaoxuan has something to do, he has to bite Wu Haogu, otherwise how can Zhao Ji rest assured? After all, the Han family and the martial family are in-laws! Wu Haogu's third brother is also Han Xiaoxuan's future son-in-law...... With this relationship, how can the Son of Heaven rest assured?

……

"Order, the whole army dismounts and rests!"

Xiao Baoxian finally rushed to the west bank of the Sanggan River at this time, and learned that there was a pontoon bridge on the Sanggan River under his own control.

"Privy, now rest?"

Yelu Zhangnu, who was guilty of meritorious service, is now Xiao Baoxian's deputy, and when he heard his order, he asked with some puzzlement: "Yanjing City is almost here, let's rush in with all our might!" ”

"I can't rush in!" Xiao Baoxian shook his head, "Didn't you see the banner of the Song army on the other side?" ”

"So what? It's just 10,000 cavalry...... We still have 5,000 Khitan soldiers in the city of Xijin Mansion! Two ends and one clamp, they are still undefeated? ”

Xiao Baoxian sighed: "Don't think about the Khitan soldiers and horses in the city of Jinfu...... It's all rubbish, and it can't fight. If we want to enter the city, we have to rely on ourselves to get in.

Now take a break, have another full meal, and fight the night tonight! ”8)
