Chapter 271: Surrender of the Golden Man
Zhao Er heard the "whooping" charge of the Mongolian army in the distance, and immediately ordered after seeing the situation clearly: "Go to a small team again and use the 'thunder rocket' to greet the rushing Mongolian army." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The Mongol troops who were forced to rush rushed in a dense formation on the road, and as soon as they approached within 30 zhang, the people in front fell in pieces. At the beginning, because of the speed of the rush, although many people died, the Mongolian army still rushed to a distance of more than 20 zhang. But after a distance of about 20 zhang, the Mongolian army could no longer take a step beyond the thunder pool, in addition to the featherless arrows that kept shooting, they also shot thirty strange arrows with an inch and a half of a large arrowhead and smoke at once, and when shot in the crowd, they would explode and hurt people like those heavenly thunders that came from nowhere. Whether they were dead or alive, they were blown to the ground of flesh and blood, and their limbs were shattered. The Mongolian Tartars who rushed forward could no longer face such a situation of death and no life, and the courage mustered up by the boss was suddenly discharged, and they turned back and dodged the road to let the people behind them go to die, and they jumped into the paddy field under the road, wading through the water with difficulty to escape.
What made the Mongolian generals angry was that they couldn't carry out a long-range counterattack on the other side, so they could only stretch their necks and rush forward to be killed by arrows. This time, they came out to take revenge and fetch food, thinking that they were facing people who were as obedient as sheep, and in order to bring back more money and goods, they left behind everything they felt was a burden, including the most commonly used long-range attack firearms.
After the rout of this attack, the Mongol soldiers scattered and fled, and no matter how the generals scolded, it was useless. Unable to organize an effective attack, they had to follow the crowd in search of an opportunity to flee for their lives.
The sound of artillery still broke out from time to time in the distance outside the Mongol Tatar infantry army, driving the Mongol Tatar infantry back to their original positions as they tried to escape. These Mongolian soldiers also understood at this time that as long as they did not go or escape, and did not go beyond a certain range, those guys who could break bones and limbs would not fall on them. Many Mongolian soldiers listened to the shouts of the guards in the distance, dropped their weapons and silently walked to the designated place to sit on the ground, waiting for the victors to deal with them.
The sound of the tiger squatting cannon also stopped when Li Xiang walked out of twenty or thirty zhang, and the whole land was silent all of a sudden, and there was no louder sound than the cry for help of the injured.
Zhao Er couldn't help shaking his head and sighing at Li Xiang's faltering back, watching him go farther and farther.
The small group of guards who walked back behind Li Xiang reluctantly turned back frequently. They were eager to participate in cleaning up the battlefield, and wanted to see how many results they could achieve in this first battle.
Under the command of their respective squad leaders, some of the guards were kept watch with steel crossbows loaded with arrows, and a small part went to the vicinity of the Mongol Tartars to order them to gather their weapons together.
Zhao Er stayed for a long time before remembering that there were still many things to deal with, and instructed Li Xiang's personal guards, who were waiting for his order: "Half of you will go to catch horses, and the others will help watch the surrender of the Mongol Tartars." ”
He beckoned Wan Yanhong, who had just seen him in the "Clairvoyance", and asked him, "Young man, what is your name, why did you fight with your own people just now?" ”
Wan Yan Hong knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Tell the general, the villain's surname is Wan Yan Hong, originally from the Jin country, since our general was killed by the Mongolian Tartars, we were also forced to be soldiers by the Mongolian Tartars." God was angry at what we had done, and sent down a thunderbolt to kill many of our comrades, so the villain wanted to find another master with all the robes, so he fought with the ****** who led the army. Could it be that your army is the Great Song Tiger Army? ”
"Huh!" Zhao Er smiled and said, "Brother, we are the Xiang Army of Shaoxi Mansion, have you heard of it?" ”
Seeing that Yan Hong shook his head blankly, Zhao Er had the intention to recruit this person, so he explained to him: "Hehe, although the number of our Shaoxi Mansion army is not large, but you have also seen that the Mongolian Tartars are not beaten, if you want to join us to take revenge, you can stay with peace of mind." Do you understand that? ”
Wan Yanhong thought for a while before he understood: "Oh, in this way, it is also the same reason, of course the people of our Jin Kingdom also want to take revenge and kill all the Mongolian Tartars." ”
Zhao Eryi really couldn't think of what to say to him again, so he nodded and said, "It's about the same, how about it, are you interested in joining us?" At the very least, we are the army of justice, and it is impossible for the Mongol Tatars to defeat our Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Er was silent after seeing Yan Hong, and further encouraged him to say: "You must be from Shandong and Hebei, tell you, in a few years, we are going to recapture the large territory that was robbed by the Tartars, and make a world by ourselves." We need young and skilled horsemen like you to help us build a cavalry to compete with the Tartar cavalry. ”
Wan Yanhong asked a little strangely: "General, we are the prisoners of your army, and it is not up to you to decide what to do with it." If you want us to join your army, it is enough to say one word, why do you have to persuade the villain so hard? ”
"Cavalry!" Zhao Er said solemnly: "Because you are cavalrymen, and you are the ones who dare to break with the Mongol Tatars on the battlefield without knowing it. Therefore, we don't treat you people as prisoners, but we think that you people are real men, heroes and heroes, and can be trusted. ”
Wan Yanhong showed an excited look on his face, and his lips moved to say something but he didn't say it.
Zhao Er saw his expression in his eyes, and struck another fire while the iron was hot: "We not only need bloody men like you, but also a cavalry that can compete with the Mongolian Tatars. Therefore, I have tried my best to persuade you to voluntarily join the army of Shaoxi Mansion and jointly create a new world where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and have plenty of food and clothing. ”
"Really?" Wan Yanhong saw that Zhao Er nodded earnestly in affirmation, and said happily: "The villain defected to your banner and followed you." Anyway, not only do we have nowhere to go at the moment, it's just a dead end to go back, and sooner or later we can't escape their pursuit, so it's better to go back to our hometown with you. The general waited for a while, and the villain went to tell his comrades about the matter, and then came back to Fucheng with the people sent by the general, and recruited the other brothers from the Jin Kingdom. ”
After Yan Hong walked a few steps, as if he remembered something, he came back and asked: "Ask the general, the hundreds of heavenly thunders that were sent to our team and blew up the flesh and blood of the soldiers and horses, were they recruited by the high-ranking people in your army, if you can give me a thanks." ”
Zhao Er smiled and said: "Hehe, since you have voluntarily joined our army, that is, your own people, it doesn't hurt to tell you, those 'heavenly thunders' you are talking about are the small 'divine thunders' made by our adults." This is not very powerful, if you use the big 'divine thunder', it only takes three or four rounds to send your hundreds of cavalry troops and even men and horses to the sky. ”
Wan Yanhong thought to himself: "What this general said may be the truth, and his own people will know the truth of things sooner or later after joining their army, and he doesn't have to tell some lies at this time to deceive himself." (To be continued.) )
