Chapter 133: Ten Rockets Destroy Five Thousand People
When Li Xin was covered in injuries and rushed to the foot of Dashun City with hundreds of people, Shen Yun couldn't help but be startled.
Looking at the smoke and dust along the way, Shen Yun was secretly glad that Li Xin's gang had already dawned when he broke through the siege after Yin Shi last night and fled to the city of Dashun. Therefore, no open flames were carried. I have to say that this is his blessing for Li Xin.
Standing at the head of the city, Shen Yun immediately ordered: "Jiang Ji, after verifying their identities, open the city gate and let them in." And he struck a gong and brought me all the flour that the people had stored, and ordered half of it to be scattered where the sawdust was scattered, and the other half to be placed at the head of the city. ”
Although he still didn't understand what Shen Yun was going to do, Jiang Ji habitually obeyed Shen Yun's orders and went down to send people to handle these things. After making sure that these people brought by Li Xin were not deceiving the city, Jiang Ji led the men and horses to welcome them into the city, and only then did he see Shen Yun walking down the city.
The dark brown blood stains on the armor emitted a fishy smell, attracting many flies to fly around Li Xin's body. Although the upper body was protected by armor and was not injured, there were several knife marks of different depths on his arms and legs, and he was already exhausted when he reached Dashun City. At this time, when he entered the city, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly collapsed to the ground and passed out.
Chong Yong was about to explain a thing or two to Shen Yun, but was stopped by Shen Yun waving his hand.
"Take Li Chan to treat his injuries. I'll know what's going on when you come in a hurry. Now those who are injured should hurry up and heal, and those who are not injured should go to the castle tower to rest on the spot. When the Tanguts came after them, they defended the city with us. ”
If Li Xin was still awake, Shen Yun would naturally not say anything. But now that Li Xin is seriously injured and unconscious, and they have come to Dashun City, then Shen Yun has enough rights to reorganize the remnants of the army. In Li Guifu's order, Shen Yun's duty is to defend Dashun City, which is obviously his Shen Yun's territory.
At this moment, the siblings on the head of the city suddenly rushed down and exclaimed: "Shen Duguan, it's not good, the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia people have caught up." The dust was two miles away. ”
"Let me ask you, how many Western Xia soldiers and horses are there that attacked the village." Hearing the soldier's report, Shen Yun was also shocked in his heart. There are at least four or five thousand people in the smoke and dust of two miles. The total number of people in his Dashun City this time was only about 1,500, and half of the tired and wounded soldiers.
Liu Fu hung his head and replied, "About 10,000 people." I'm afraid that only half of them will catch up. ”
After getting this answer, Shen Yun threw down a sentence: "Follow me to the city tower." He could no longer bear Liu Fu and Chong Yong and others, and took the lead in stepping on the steps. In the blink of an eye, Shen Yun went to the city, watching the soldiers and horses of the Xixia people gradually approaching Dashun City, looking at the direction of the fluttering flag, in the stunned eyes of a group of soldiers, he ordered loudly:
"Everybody, give me the flour and throw it in the direction of the sawdust. Before the arrival of the Western Xia soldiers and horses, all of them were sprinkled for me. ”
The soldiers didn't know why, but they still did as Shen Yun ordered.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of Western Xia also officially stepped into the area where charcoal and sawdust were everywhere.
Seeing the unevenly sprinkled flour on the ground, the generals led by him immediately laughed: "What kind of tricks are these Song people doing?" The white flowers were sprinkled on the ground. The horses also seemed to smell the smell of raw noodles, and wanted to lower their heads and lick their tongues, but these people were preparing to threaten Dashun City with the momentum of a big victory, where would they let the horses stop.
Urging the horses forward with a horsewhip, after a while, all five thousand soldiers and horses stepped on the sawdust area, and at this time, people stepped on the horses, and the smoke and dust suddenly enveloped the entire Xixia soldiers and horses. Black carbon ash, yellow wood ash, and flour blown by the breeze, from the head of Dashun City, this place is like a place shrouded in smoke and clouds.
Shen Yun smiled.
"Jiang Ji, take the archers and drive the horse to the charcoal area a hundred paces away to shoot fire oil arrows. There is no need to shoot people, as long as you can ensure that you can shoot into the area of the Tanguts, and after a volley, you will immediately return to the city. If the horse is frightened on the way, you are allowed to wait for the horse to run back to the city.
"This." Jiang Ji was a little trembling in his heart. Hundred paces, this archer from the distance of the Tangut people can easily shoot to his side. Moreover, if other people's cavalry comes to charge, they are afraid that all of them will fall into it.
As if he knew what Jiang Ji was thinking, Shen Yun said in a serious voice: "This is a military order. You only need to lead someone to shoot a round of arrows, you don't need to wait desperately. Presumably, within a hundred steps, it will take some time to catch up with you and others, and if you can't escape back at that time, Dashun City will also be buried with you and others. The county is still here, what are you afraid of? ”
The word military order made Jiang Ji understand that if he didn't take someone down this time, he was afraid that Shen Yun would immediately let people kill him. Therefore, as soon as he hugged his fists and bowed to Shen Yun, he hurriedly called the ten people who were the most proficient in bows and horses among their soldiers, and hurriedly opened the city gate and rushed towards the Xixia people.
This situation made the Xixia people, who were still four hundred steps away from the city, sneer: "These Song people seem to have asked for peace." Hahaha, what a bunch of wrecks, why didn't they think about the consequences of today when they killed us in the first place. Come on, when those people get close to us fifty paces, shoot me at once, and leave no one behind. ”
Seeing that the distance between himself and the Tangut people was getting closer and closer, Jiang Ji felt a sadness in his heart.
I only thought that Shen Yun was a good official, but I didn't expect that he didn't treat himself as a human being. For a while, I was afraid that I would be buried under this Dashun city. However, thinking about what Shen Yun said before, if they died, Dashun City would naturally be martyred for them, and Jiang Ji's heart felt a little better.
Since this magistrate is not afraid of death, what about accompanying him.
"Brothers, approach the Tangut people eighty paces and shoot a rocket into the middle of the Tangut people. Ignition, open bow. The arrows dipped in fire oil were ignited by the fire breakers, and the archers on their horses suddenly smelled of burnt. It's a fundamentally different smell from burning oil, and instead resembles the smell of burnt pasta.
They didn't think much about it, but just followed Jiang Ji's instructions, rode their horses to about eighty paces in front of the Tangut people, and with an order, all the arrows flew towards the Tangut army. Jiang Ji still remembered Shen Yun's instructions at this time, and the moment the arrow was shot out, he shouted: "Turn around, go back to the city, quickly." ”
The whip twisted from the animal skin struck the horse on the buttocks of the U-turned. The war horse was in pain, and galloped in the direction of the Dashun city gate. However, just as Jiang Ji and the others ran out only a few dozen steps, they only heard a loud noise behind them, like thunder in the sky. A wave of air slammed into their backs with a powerful force.
Knocked to the ground by the scorching waves, seeing that the horses were showing signs of running into the mountains on the left and right, Shen Yun's words once again surfaced in Jiang Ji's heart: "Quick, abandon the horse, and run back to the city." "War horses are an extremely important strategic resource, and when they heard Jiang Ji's words, a few archers were a little reluctant.
But seeing that Jiang Ji let go of his bridle and galloped towards the city gate, several people finally spared their lives, and did not continue to restrain the horses, but learned Jiang Ji's movements, let go of their hands, and rushed into the city gate.
It wasn't until the whole time that Jiang Ji and the others had time to look back and see what was going on.
Just this look, they were all stunned. Like the soldiers in front of the city gate, he looked at the tragic situation of the Tangut people in the distance with an incredible face. All of a sudden, I forgot the burning pain behind me.
Where the sawdust accumulated, the flames were raging at this time, and the Tangut people were still arrogant before, and in the gap between the flames, there was hardly anyone standing. The only thing that could be seen was panicked horses galloping wildly, their hooves carrying up pieces of broken limbs.
"Sss Jiang Ji couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard a soldier. None of them thought that they and others would have such power after shooting just one arrow. If he hadn't listened to Shen Yun's words before, and no matter how greedy he was, would he and the others be like those Western Xia people now, wailing in the flames.
Compared with Jiang Ji and these people, the people who stood up in embarrassment at the head of the city were much more shocked.
After they watched Jiang Ji and the others shoot the fire oil arrows, the Xixia people were about to knock down the arrows with their hands, and suddenly from where the arrows started, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, they exploded in an instant. And this kind of explosion was not just a moment, it gradually spread from the arrow branch, and finally enveloped all the Western Xia soldiers.
A flash of fire rose, followed by a scorching wave of air.
The invisible wave of qi shook Jiang Ji and the others off their horses, and even the clothes on their backs were burned out of holes. And when they arrived at the castle tower, they pushed everyone who was standing to the ground. Of all the people present, only Shen Yun squatted under the battlements in advance to escape. So when he got up, he actually laughed out loud when he watched everyone get up in embarrassment.
The fire tends to spread gradually.
Shen Yun didn't want this fire to burn Dashun City as well, so he looked back at Liu Fu and the others who were glazed over, and said with a smile: "Everyone, God has eyes to kill this group of beasts." You can't wait to watch the fire burn into Dashun City, let me wait for these fans to be buried. Why don't you hurry up and bring people down to extinguish the fire and kill the enemy. ”
After Shen Yun finished speaking, he walked down the city tower.
He's done what he can, and he's done enough. Killed so many people at once, although all of them were Tangut people, but I still couldn't accept it in my heart. After exhausting his spirit, the only thing that can support Shen Yun to walk down the city tower calmly is the concept that he constantly instilled in himself that the two armies are fighting to the death.
And the eyes of the people on the city tower looking at Shen Yun were already filled with awe and fear.
Especially the soldiers who were already guarding Dashun City, they knew the cause and effect of this matter best. They have always wondered why Shen Yun is engaged in these things, but only now do they understand that co-authoring is for this thing that can be called a miracle.
At this time, Shen Yun was the incarnation of the gods in their eyes, and there was no doubt about it.
