Chapter 133 Winning Vanguard
Shijiabao, the sun is like fire, the gate of the wall is closed, and the bow and crossbow are drawn on the wall. Piles of stones, pots of boiling water, wolf's tooth rolling wood, nail boards, lime bottles, and city defense supplies were all carried to the wall. Bundles of bows and arrows were stacked near the crossbowman.
Shi Liang sent a messenger to ask Zhao Heshou why he had invaded Yizhou. I didn't expect to stop the Zhuozhou resentful army, but I just hoped that it wouldn't attack too quickly. It's best, wait for Pharmacist Guo to come, negotiate and settle it slowly, and if it can be resolved peacefully, it's best.
Although he didn't want to, there were only more than 2,000 horses, and he couldn't beat Guo Yaoshi. Of course, if Pharmacist Guo attacks, the loss will not be small, but Pharmacist Guo is only a loss, and he can make up for the loss in the later stage through money, and Shi Liang will have to be exterminated if he is defeated.
However, it is conceivable that if the two sides negotiate, Pharmacist Guo will definitely prescribe a bloody price. Shi Liang discussed with Zhang Cheng that the bottom line he could accept was not to divide the troops and keep the territory of Shijiabao. You can give Yizhou City to Pharmacist Guo and hand over a certain amount of money and grain every month, which is equivalent to surrendering to Pharmacist Guo.
The pioneer of Zhuozhou, Zhao Heshou was opposite, six hundred steps away, riding on a horse and leisurely watching the situation of Shijiabao. However, his elite horsemen refused to settle down, and one team after another shuttled back and forth under the village, showing off their superb riding skills.
A few knights with a strong temperament rushed closer, opened their bows and shot, and the wooden wall sounded from time to time with a "grab" sound. The walled wall was suppressed by the leader, and they were not allowed to fight back, and those Zhuozhou cavalry were even more arrogant.
Zhao Heshou naturally understood Shi Liang's thoughts, but when Pharmacist Guo came, it was estimated that there would be nothing to talk about. This stockade has 2,000 people in the sky, and they are all stragglers, and they were beaten by the Southern Dynasty before they ran back.
The reason why he didn't attack, but wanted to boil up these boys, he was stunned by the sky-high price, and he didn't care about rushing up as soon as he fought. I have been staring at the heads and money all day long, fighting for so many years, rewarding, and plundering so much, and I have not seen you save a few coppers.
Since Xiao Gan pressed Guo Duguan to fight the Southern Dynasty, Guo Duguan asked him to Yizhou. Although Yizhou was originally the territory of Yelu Dashi, but Yelu Dashi went on a westward expedition, and Xiao Gan naturally didn't take him seriously.
Whether Yizhou is surnamed Guo or Shi makes no difference to him. The focus is on who can contain the Southern Dynasty for him. From the point of view of quantity and quality, Pharmacist Guo is more suitable than the Shi family, especially this time Xiao Gan occupies Guo's lair, and Pharmacist Guo has no other choice.
Although it is not as good as Zhuozhou, Yizhou is also one of the Song-Liao mutual markets after all, and the tax alone is a large amount of income. Coupled with the dense flow of people and the relatively prosperous business atmosphere, many good things of the Southern Dynasties can be found here.
Once it is taken down, as long as it can confront the Southern Dynasty for a long time, there will be business here. What's more, Yizhou is only thirty miles away from the border, no matter how convenient it will be to Baozhou, Xiongzhou, Zhending Grass Valley or something, it is really a good place.
Zhao Heshou ignored the envoy who came to question Shi Jiabao, and directly asked someone to cut off one of his ears and put it back, telling Shi Liang that after a quarter of an hour, he would attack without opening the door and surrendering.
Shi Liang looked at Zhao Heshou in the distance gloomily, "Then come on, let's see how his five hundred cavalry attack?" ”
Zhang Cheng also frowned, "This Zhao Heshou has such a big breath, could it be that he has a back hand?" Suddenly, his face changed, and he pointed to a group of people in the distance and said, "Is it so?" ”
After a while, the crowd got closer, it turned out to be a group of women, children, old and young, Shi Liang also knew that something was wrong, could it be that this guy actually used such a despicable means in order to seize the city?
An archer above the city defense suddenly shouted, "Mother, mother, why were you caught?!" ”
More people then found their loved ones in the crowd below. For a time, "fathers, sons, husbands, and mothers" came and went, and there were cries and shouts up and down the wall.
Shi Liang pointed at Zhao Heshou and scolded angrily, "Despicable villain, use such shameless means!" Aren't you afraid of going to hell?"
As soon as Zhang Cheng saw that the other party used such methods, it was estimated that things would be difficult to get better. Remind Shi Liang that if he loses his mind, he will be in trouble if he rebels.
"Shi's child, leading troops to fight, are you afraid of going to hell?" Zhao Heshou laughed, "We have been ordered by the king of the North Courtyard to take over Yizhou." If you disobey military orders, and your men are all rebels, it is a capital crime. These women, children, and children come to persuade their sons and daughters, which is a great good deed to accumulate merit! ”
As he spoke, he ordered his subordinates to escort the old man towards the gate of the village and slowly approached.
Shi Liang looked at these chaotic scenes and suddenly moved in his heart, and said, "Open the gate of the wall, now these people are mixed, and it is difficult for the cavalry to be effective, if they dare to come in, two thousand against five hundred, they will definitely not lose!" ”
Ordered not to release arrows, opened the gate to welcome the family into the fort, and arranged the horses in rows. Once the cavalry loses speed, it loses its power and becomes a living target for crossbowmen. So the guards at the head of the wall shouted, "Let's answer, hurry into the fort."
Zhao Heshou reacted immediately, sneered, and couldn't live for his own sin. Let me see how the 500 elites of the Changsheng army defeated your 2,000 miscellaneous cards. With a wave of the long sword, "The whole army dismounted, rushed into Shijiabao, and captured Shi Liang'er alive"
Five hundred victorious troops jumped off their horses and rushed into Shijiabao with hundreds of women and children, Zhao Heshou looked at the stunned Shi Liang on the city tower, and pointed his long sword, "My nephew is so generous, but my uncle is disrespectful!" ”
"Old horseman, this is where you are buried!" Shi Liang said angrily, "Kill a resentful army ten times, who can take the head of the old thief, a thousand times!" The Yizhou soldiers in all directions let out a shout and rushed towards Zhao Heshou.
Zhao Heshou has been fighting for many years, and he has rolled in the pile of dead people several times, and when he saw these soldiers in a mess, he shook his head with contempt, "Rabble, attack!" ”
The five hundred strong men who were tightly surrounding Zhao Heshou shouted in unison, "Oh! "As hundreds of long knives made of fine iron came out of their sheaths, suddenly, the murderous aura was permeated. The Pioneer Battalion was like a beast of steel, motionless in the face of two thousand swarming enemy troops.
Close, twenty steps, fifteen steps, ten steps, eight steps. Zhao Heshou rushed forward against the enemy, and with a sword, he inserted it into the opponent's ribs and twisted it again, and he reached the first level. And behind him, the blood of five hundred warriors swelled, like five hundred giant pythons devouring these Shi soldiers.
These five hundred killing gods, with rich experience, are neat and neat, and they are familiar with each other, and if they don't have a stick of incense, Shi Liang has lost three or four hundred good hands. Is this ever-winning army so strong?
How is this good?
Unexpectedly, these 500 people are actually the elite of the resentful army, and their equestrian skills are exquisite, and this foot battle is also brave and invincible, which can't be compared, the gap is too big.
"Shoot them with arrows!" Shi Liangtie ordered with a blushing face.
Zhang Cheng hurriedly said, "There are still our brothers fighting, and they will be injured by mistake."
"If they don't die, we will die, shoot!" Everyone trembled, drew their bows, and fired indiscriminately.
Zhang Cheng shook his head and closed his eyes, this battle was lost, the Shi family's father and son pattern was too small, it was difficult to become a big tool, and he voted for the wrong master. (To be continued.) )
