Chapter 34: Mountains and Clouds (8)

When the Fan army attacking the Weiyuanbao camp began to retreat, Liu Yuan and others also circled back. There were a few fewer people in the group, but the pursuers behind them seemed to be a little sparser than they had been at the beginning of the pursuit.

Seeing the battle situation in front of them, the pursuers hesitated a little and stopped the pursuit.

Liu Yuan turned his head, smiled cruelly, and then slowed down his horse's speed, and shot an arrow with his backhand. Led by him, the cavalry who had remounted their horses also fired their bows and arrows, shooting sharp arrows at the enemy behind them.

The provocation failed, and several angry enemy horsemen were stopped by the leading general. But Liu Yuan and the others also shot a few people, and one of the thieves was unfortunately hit by the vital point, covering the long arrow through the eye socket, and fell off the horse.

Liu Yuan smiled, proudly put away his longbow, and returned to the camp under the admiring sight of the soldiers.

Run, shoot enemies, and gallop to death. After waiting for half a year, Liu Yuan returned to the battlefield. With belligerent blood flowing wildly in his veins, listening to the ringing of bowstrings and watching his enemies turn into dead flesh on his hands, he found that he still loved life like this, which was full of blood and excitement.

Although he broke two brothers, it was always a good thing to be able to die on the battlefield. After half a year of facing the loess and turning his back to the sky, Liu Yuan further determined this point.

"Good work."

Wang Zhongzheng followed Han Gang to the city. Seeing Han Gang's kind words to comfort the returning generals, he couldn't help but say his hard work together.

A few words that are plain, in the past, who would take it to heart? are all looking forward to the reward of the imperial court. But after a big twist and turn, Liu Yuan felt a little kindness to Han Gang and Wang Zhongzheng, and even found it a little difficult to hold himself.

asked Liu Yuan and them to find a place to sit down and rest, and ordered someone to hurry up to all the soldiers who went into battle, and quickly deliver the hot broth that he had just ordered to cook.

After the thief army retreated, if he wanted to reorganize his army and run up again, it was not something that could be done in a blink of an eye, and he must take a rest, which gave him at least half an hour more time, and he could start to strengthen his defenses, and by the way, let the defenders rest for a while.

Han Gang glanced at the enemy horsemen who were as small as insects a mile away, and he didn't know how far these people could hold on. But he Han Gang will give them an unforgettable memory-

Guarantee!

Sure!

…………………………

"I can't imagine that the Song people still have such a sharp weapon!" Blind Wu Qi looked at the Song army camp from afar, the few thunderbolt cannons raised high, and his face was extremely ugly.

Those few artillery carts, looking at it from a distance, looked like some strangely shaped watchtowers. It is erected near the camp gate, so that people will not pay attention to it at all. Who would have thought that it would be a defensive weapon used by the Song people?! Without much precaution just now, the cavalry that rushed forward were crowded near the gate of the camp, and they happened to be under the strongest attack.

Wu Yanzheng looked at it for a long time, and after a while, he said, "...... These should be the artillery carts of the Song people, and I heard that they were used to siege the city. It looks very heavy, and it weighs hundreds or thousands of pounds, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to move, right? ”

Wu Yanzheng's words made the blind Wu Qi's eyes light up, and he was awakened at once, and his hands clapped, "That's right!" It's certainly not easy to build such a large object. Looking at the angle, just guarding the vicinity of the camp gate. As long as you change positions when attacking, you can avoid it! ”

Blind Wu Qi asked himself that with the means to restrain the thunderbolt artillery, his face improved a lot.

It's just that the siege casualties are not small, they were originally coming with great momentum, and after running for hundreds of miles, a little. Now the front has been frustrated, and it must be repaired.

"Take a break! In an hour, give me all the strength to break the city! "Blind Wu Qi gave the order.

But he also had some military experience and understood that the Song people who defended the city could not be allowed to have time to rest. He then ordered a group of men and horses to circle around the camp of Weiyuan Fort and threw arrows into the camp, making it difficult for the defenders to get time to rest.

The sound of hooves was fierce, and the Tubo cavalry that was rapidly circling made it difficult for the thunderbolts to attack.

"What is this? And not against the field formation? ”

But for the tricks of the Tubo people to harass the camp, even without Han Gang's order, even Wang Zhongzheng knew how to deal with it.

"Get out the poisonous smoke fireballs."

The poisonous smoke fireball is recorded in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts". The shell of paper and linen coated with asphalt is filled with croton, arsenic, flame salt, sulfur, grass and other ignitions and poisons. This poisonous fireball should be poked out of the hole before use, then ignited, and then thrown with a catapult after the canopy. It is the simplest chemical weapon.

Today, however, no catapults are used to release the poisonous smoke fireballs. In the late autumn and early winter, the north wind was blowing, and the wind was southward, and dozens of poisonous smoke and fireballs were rolled out of the camp, burning, and sizzling yellow smoke. Hide the south side of the camp in the billowing smoke of the waves.

The timing of the Song people's release of the poisonous fireworks was just right, so that the Tubo people sent to harass this team were caught off guard and rushed into the smoke screen at once.

The poisonous smoke fireball was mixed with croton and arsenic, and the poisonous smoke choked people and choked horses. People can actively hold their breath, but war horses can't. As they passed through the smoke quickly, the riders were coughing and tearing at most, but the horses below sneezed in unison, as if they had been greatly stimulated.

Next, it was like a rain of arrows, proudly, drowning this team in a raging storm, and only half of them escaped.

Blind Wu Qi was full of color, this team of riders was one of his most trusted ones, and he was reluctant to let them go into battle, but he still suffered a big loss.

Looking at the cronies with red noses and eyes, Wu Qi's heart was dripping blood, and he couldn't wait. As soon as the smoke cleared, he got up and gave the order. At the sound of the trumpet, thousands of troops and horses galloped up again, avoiding the camp gate, and chose the sections of the camp fence away from the thunderbolt artillery to attack.

Seeing that the thief avoided the truth, Han Gang was smiling proudly. With only six thunderbolts, he was able to hold the camp gate and a long section of the nearby barracks, how easy it was. And there is an advantage to the fact that the enemy does not dare to block the camp gate...... It's just that you can attack.

In the surprised eyes of the blind Wu Qi and Wu Yanzheng, the camp gate south of Weiyuan Fort was opened. More than 200 Song troops poured out of the gate, formed a formation in front of the camp gate, and shot the enemy cavalry swarming in the distance in the distance at several corners of the camp fence with crossbow arrows.

This is an opportunity! Every fantasian saw this.

A great temptation to ignore everything suspicious. As long as you break through this thin enemy line, you can rush into the enemy camp, instead of tearing down the barracks with human lives in the arrows of the defenders. As long as you rush a little faster, those two artillery carts should not be useful.

Without waiting for the order of the blind Wu Qi, several generals gave an order at the same time, turned the horse's head and went straight to the gate of the camp.

Indeed, two thunderbolts were not enough to withstand the gallop of the Tibetan cavalry, and the thin array of the Song army could not stop their onslaught.

In front of the brave Tubo warriors, the Song army retreated one after another, but behind the open gate of the camp, it was not a smooth road. Directly opposite the gate were several battle gears consisting of three bowed arms and a heavy bowstring:

Eight Bull Crossbows!

I used a large winch to put on a bowstring with a lot of power. On the crossbow trough, three black and heavy iron spears were still rusty. An iron spear about five feet long and as thick as a child's arm had the same nature as an arrow a foot long. And there were six of them, eighteen iron guns side by side.

First there were three volleys, and then three more in tandem.

The first nine, the last nine, and the iron spears turned into black thunder in the air, penetrating the horse's body, sweeping through the human body, continuously piercing many people, and bringing up a rain of blood.

This is the most tragic scene since the beginning of the war, dozens of Tibetan warriors who rushed to the front, no matter how strong their martial arts are, no matter how brave their character is, in front of the hard iron spear, as fragile as paper.

The sudden blow made the Tubo people dizzy, and looking at the bloody scene, they suddenly lost their fighting spirit.

At this time, Liu Yuan led thirty cavalry, with a group of old generals, and rushed out and slaughtered into the enemy formation with a tiger descending the mountain. Spears, iron tablets, bones, and all kinds of weapons are all in battle, killing wantonly in the sluggish enemy group.

The weighted thunderbolts began to be projected into the distance, and together with the Divine Arm archers, they stopped the following enemy cavalry dozens of paces away. forced them to watch their brothers in front of the camp gate turn into corpses and achievements in the hands of a group of crazy Guangrui generals.

Liu Yuan's eyes were red, and he brandished a spear like a demon. The tip of the spear pierced the chest of one of the horsemen, and the blood arrows marked from their chests made Liu Yuan even more crazy. Suddenly, there was no trace of the enemy. Looking back, the hundreds of enemy horsemen who rushed to the front of the camp had already killed him and his comrades, and the number of cavalry had expanded to more than sixty people.

'I can't fight anymore. ’

The second time he used the horn to recall the troops on the front line, Blind Wu Qi and Wu Yanzheng glanced at each other, and the other party's face showed the same expression.

The defenders of Weiyuan Fort were indeed as they expected, and their troops were very empty. But their combat power is unexpectedly strong.

When a sneak attack turns into a strong attack, and a strong attack turns into a repeated attack, and then stay under Weiyuan Fort, the situation will only get worse and worse. The opportunity to capture Weiyuan is not impossible, but blind Wu Qi and Wu Yanzheng

Territory is important, but the soldiers are even more crucial. If you have someone in your hand, you can still grab the territory, but if the people are gone, you don't want to keep the territory.

If you lose your land, you will lose your land, and if you lose your land, you will gain all your land.

This kind of truth has long been thoroughly understood by the blind Wu Qi and Wu Yanzheng, who have lived in the Hehuang area where the weak eat the strong. The weak Zampu bloodline does not guarantee their status, only the soldiers and horses in their hands are everything that guarantees the power in their hands.

Blind Wu Qi stared at Weiyuan Fort in the twilight again. The dark silhouette in the faint light, like a giant beast crawling at the source of Weishui, exudes a dangerous aura.

Taking advantage of the night, there may still be a chance of half a star, but he has no intention of gambling again.

"Retreat!" Blind Wu Qi ordered in despair

"Want to go?!" After a while, Han Gang let out a cold snort, "How can it be so easy!" ”
