Chapter Forty-Six: Victory in the First Battle

Converting, Wu Ji stood at the head of the city and looked ahead: "Liaogou is coming soon, right?" ”

"It's coming!" Qi Dabao stood beside Wu Ji: "Commander Wu, I have gathered more than a hundred heroes of Qi Yun Society to obey your orders." ”

"Great! That's great! ”

Wu Ji was very excited. Qi Yun Society's heroic riding and archery skills, he couldn't be clearer. Sending them head-on to kill them may not be of great use, but using their superb archery skills to deal with the enemy is very useful.

To fight a war is to send the most suitable troops to the most suitable place.

"Commander Wu, you let go of the fight!" Mrs. Zheng also spoke: "I have recruited nearly five hundred Ding Zhuang, and I can give you enough reinforcements." Ding Zhuang on the border is not as good as the mainland, they hate Liaogou, and they can't wait to fight to the death with Liaogou. Moreover, although they are not trained, they are also good, and they still have a way of rushing and killing. ”

There were frequent battles at the border gates, and as long as Ding Zhuang knew some tricks of killing the enemy, although there was a big gap between them and the regular army, they were much stronger than Ding Zhuang in the interior.

The city of Conversion is not big, but it is not small, and 500 troops are stationed in it, which is really not enough. With the heroes of Qiyun Society, and then these Ding Zhuang, they can be kept. If necessary, you can also mobilize the people to go to the city to defend it, plus the weapons of the Wu military industry, Guixin City is almost a strong city soup pool, unshakable.

"Rumble!"

There was a loud noise faintly ahead, like thunder.

"Liaogou is here!" Qi Dabao was the first to roar, very excited, like a crowing rooster.

"Liaogou is here!" Wu Ji is both expectant and nervous. Although he fought with the Liao army in Xiongzhou, he had not yet seen the Liao army rushing to kill on the battlefield.

As soon as they heard that the Liao army was coming, the soldiers were in high spirits, clenched the handle of their swords, and wanted to fight the Liao army immediately.

The loud noise became clearer and clearer, and a smooth line of water appeared in the sky, surging rapidly. When I saw it clearly, I saw that the Liao army was lined up in several horizontal columns, and was marching in a fighting posture. People are happy and horses are moving, where the horses' hooves are stepping, the ice and snow are splashing, the sound is shocking, and it is very terrifying.

"It's not a small power!"

Although Wu Ji hated the Liao army, he had to admit that the Liao army was really extraordinary, this momentum was so amazing, and the converted army did not have this momentum. This kind of momentum can only be experienced after experiencing battlefield fighting, not on the training ground.

"Although Liao Dog is hateful, I have to admit that it is really difficult to deal with!" Huangfu Song looked at the advancing Liao army and exclaimed.

When these words went to the hearts of everyone, they couldn't help but nod their heads in appreciation. As an enemy, it is also possible to praise the merits of the enemy.

The Liao army came closer, and Wu Ji saw it clearly. The Liao army was in a neat formation, although it was marching, but there was no chaos at all, it was erected on the ground, horizontally in columns, very orderly, and orderly.

Wu Ji is very sure that if his conversion army and the Liao army are against each other, it will be difficult to have a chance of winning, even if he is desperate, even if the return army has good equipment, but he has not been trained, he has not experienced battlefield fighting, and the Liao army is a division of tigers and wolves.

The infantry of the Liao army was in the middle, pushing siege equipment, and the two wings were horse troops. The horse army is the cavalry, the saying of the Song Dynasty. The horses of the horse army are extremely powerful, and the riders are dressed in armor, carrying hard bows and arrows, and they are extremely fierce and murderous, and at a glance they know that they are well-trained and battle-hardened elites.

Because the Liao State has the sixteen states of Yanyun, there are a large number of Han people and a large number of Han craftsmen, which makes the equipment of the Liao army improve by several grades. Although the Khitans are still Khitans, they are no longer Khitans who can only wield horses and scimitars, but nomads armed with the most advanced technology at that time.

Looking at these war horses, Wu Ji's eyes turned green, he wanted war horses too much. If he had a horse, he could train the horse army, and make the converts four-legged, and their power would be greatly increased.

It's a pity that the Song Dynasty lacked horses, where did he go to get horses? There are only a dozen war horses in the converted army, and most of them are inferior horses, which are used to deliver letters, and the good horses have long been sold to He Wanquan.

"If only we had these horses!" Stars appeared in Wu Ji's eyes, and he was full of admiration.

"Yes! What we lack the most is a war horse! "Huangfu Song is also full of admiration.

Not only are they admired, but which of the soldiers of the Converts is not admired? In the Song Dynasty, horses were very expensive, and having a horse status and status was one level higher, similar to that of a modern person owning a luxury car, who wouldn't want to?

Yelu Bodhisattva waved his hand, and the Liao army stopped. is worthy of being a well-trained elite, and when he says stop, Wu Ji is appreciative again. Yelu Bodhisattva came to the city with a horse, and shouted at the head of the city: "Listen, Nanren: I am Yelu Bodhisattva of Daliao, and I am ordered to come and attack the city of Guixin. Quickly open the city gate and welcome the warriors of Da Liao into the city, waiting for them with good wine and meat. Waiting for the warriors to be happy, you have your own benefits! If you dare to say half a word, I will set foot in the city of faith, so that you chickens and dogs will not stay! ”

The sound was very loud, like thunder, and it spread far away.

"What arrogance!" Wu Ji had never heard such arrogant words, that is, the Liao soldiers of the Nagong Pavilion were much inferior to him.

"Liaogou is crazy!" Qi Dabao snorted angrily, bent his bow and arrows, and shot at Yelu Bodhisattva.

He was good at archery, and this arrow was like thunder and lightning, and it was so powerful that it went straight to the door of Yelu Bodhisattva.

"Nanren's archery skills are good!" Yelu Bodhisattva's eyes flashed, and there was no lack of appreciation, followed by ridicule: "But to show off in front of me, in the words of you southerners, it is to get an axe!" "The right hand was stretched out like lightning, and when it struck the shaft of the arrow, the arrow missed.

"Nanren, eat me with an arrow!" Yelu Bodhisattva took off his hard bow, put on a strong arrow, and aimed it at Qi Dabao is an arrow.

"Whew!" As soon as this arrow came out, it made a sharp whistling sound, which was very piercing, like thunder, more powerful than Qi Dabao's arrow, and it shot like lightning.

"Good time!" Qi Dabao was not in a hurry, the bow in his right hand flicked on the shaft of the arrow, and the arrow flew to the side.

Wu Ji saw it in his eyes, his heart was dizzy, he was so clever in archery, if I could practice to this point, it would be great. Today's Wu Ji, although his body is much stronger than before, is still far, far away from this kind of clever archery.

As soon as the two of them fought each other, no one could help anyone, and there was no need to compare. Yelu Bodhisattva pulled the reins of the horse: "Nanren, don't complain that I didn't give you a chance, because you don't want to grasp it, just wait for the chickens and dogs to stay!" ”

When he returned to his main formation, he pulled out his scimitar violently, pointed at Guixin City, and yelled: "Siege!" Rush into conversion, kill, burn, rob, and leave no chickens and dogs! ”

"Chickens and dogs don't stay!" The soldiers of the Liao army let out an earth-shattering roar, containing endless joy and energy. This is their favorite thing to do, and they all pounce on them like tigers in the mountains.

"Liao dog is so hateful! Be sure to teach Liao Dog a good lesson! ”

The arrogance of the Liao army aroused the anger of the soldiers, and they all gritted their teeth and prepared to clean up the Liao army.

"Prepare for battle!" No matter how angry you are, it is better to fight hard, Wu Ji ordered loudly.

The soldiers were ordered, and they were ready to teach the Liao army a hard lesson.

The Liao army pushed the goose cart and came to the city, ready to attack the city. In this period, with the progress of science and technology, the siege equipment is more abundant, and this goose cart is one of the most powerful siege weapons.

"Bed crossbow, shoot!" Huangfu Song ordered loudly.

The bed crossbow is a sharp weapon for defending the city in the Song Dynasty, and it is a kind of arm crossbow, the crossbow arrow is long and thick, the range is long, and the power is endless.

"Woohoo!"

The bolt broke through the barrier of air and let out a sharp whistling sound, like thunder and lightning, and shot at the goose cart.

"Bang bang!" The crossbow bolt was shot at the goose cart with an astonishing loud noise, and large holes appeared in the goose cart, but they did not collapse, and after a short pause, they drove towards the city of conversion.

The goose cart is very strong, as a siege machine, when approaching the enemy's city wall, it will inevitably be attacked by the enemy's city defense equipment, so when designing, sturdiness is the primary requirement. Although the bed is crossbowed, it is really not easy to destroy the goose cart.

Of course, if you have enough bed crossbows to fire a salvo at the goose cart, you can still easily destroy it. It's a pity that bed crossbows are too labor-intensive and require many people to use. The most powerful bed crossbow requires dozens of people to use.

In addition, there were not many bed crossbows in the city at all, which could not form a dense crossbow arrow, but could only be sporadic firebolts.

"Stone thrower, quick, throw!"

Mrs. Zheng was also in a hurry. The bed crossbow is useless, so you can only pin your hopes on the stone thrower.

Stone throwing machine has existed since ancient times, and in the Song Dynasty, it has made great progress and can throw dozens of catties of stones. At that time, there was a difference between a star-scattering cannon and a seven-tip cannon. A star cannon is a stone thrower that can throw multiple stones, and can throw six or seven stones at a time.

The seven-tip cannon can only throw one stone, but it is a very heavy stone, which can weigh up to forty or fifty catties, and is used to destroy solid targets.

The gunners exerted their strength, and stone pieces were thrown out and smashed at the goose cart. It's a pity that the stone throwing machine is not very accurate, and it relies on intensive firepower to win. In the same way, it is impossible for a small town like Conversion to have too many stone throwers, but there are so many of them, this projectile, only to see the stones draw a graceful curve and fall into the void.

A round of projectiles came down, and there were only a few pieces that hit the goose cart, because the goose cart was too strong, and it was not a problem to smash it into damage, and it was impossible to destroy it, and the goose cart was still driving down the city.

"How can this happen?" Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Bao couldn't help but feel a little helpless when they saw that the bed crossbow and stone thrower were useless. These are the two strongest weapons to defend the city, and they are useless.

"Don't panic!" Of course, Wu Ji understood where the reason was, and ordered loudly: "Put the goose cart in and let them catch it in the city." Thunderbolt ready, listen to me! ”

"That's right! And Thunderball! Wu Ji reminded the dreamer that Mrs. Zheng immediately woke up and executed immediately.

The soldiers held the thunderbolt in their left hand and the torch in their right hand, concentrating on the enemy, as long as Wu Ji gave an order, they would let the Liao army know that it was powerful.

"Are the southerners scared?" Yelu Bodhisattva looked at the scene in the city, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered loudly: "Attack quickly!" Aggro! ”

Zeng Danian saw it in his eyes and was shocked in his heart, he still remembered how terrifying the thunderbolt was, and hurriedly reminded Yelu Bodhisattva: "General, if they are about to retreat, don't go up and send them to death!" Thunderball, that's a thunderbolt! ”

Before he finished speaking, he slammed Yelu Bodhisattva to the ground with a knife on his back, and the horsewhip in his hand whipped fiercely: "You southerner, you dare to curse the warriors of Daliao, you will die!" ”

The Liao army pushed the goose cart to the bottom of the city, put down the arm of the cart, grabbed it on the city wall, the door opened, and the Liao soldiers roared and screamed, and pounced on the city.

There is also a kind of city defense equipment called crashing to deal with the goose car, which is to crash the goose car. Wu Ji didn't plan to use it, and ordered loudly: "Thunderbolt, throw!" Throw it at the door! ”

The converts lit the thunderbolts and threw them at the goose cart.

Bright lines of fire appeared in the air, weaving a bright net and enveloping the goose cart.
