Chapter 26: Defending Shouzhou (1)

The Yuan army of Xia Jizhai, who Hao was afraid of day and night, in the end, is still here!

It was only a few days before Hao Shisan occupied Shouzhou City, and the Red Turban Army that Shouzhou had just formed was not ready.

Whether you are ready or not, it is not Hao Shisan's final say, and the thousands of households in Sutai have already come with sincerity.

A few days ago, when he heard that Shouzhou was breached, he did not dare to move lightly without knowing the truth and reality, and when he found out that the number of red turban troops in Shouzhou was not much, he brought the army over.

The movements of the Yuan army in Xia Jizhai and the horses sent out by the Shouzhou Red Turban Army had already been reported to Hao Shisan, but Hao Shisan had no way at all, neither the ability to set up an ambush, nor the ability to go out of the city to face the battle, so he could only rely on the tall city wall of Shouzhou to wait for change.

In the face of absolute strength, all intrigues and tricks will be of no avail.

Far away in the sky, there is a line of dust, the dust is getting higher and higher, as if it is a huge wave set off by the tsunami, rolling towards Shouzhou City, the tall Shouzhou city wall seems so small at this time, as if the dust is rolled over, and the Shouzhou City will not exist.

The dust waves are getting closer and closer, and the eight-sided sun flag of the Chinese army is gradually appearing, followed by all kinds of colorful pennants, and the iron helmets, faces, armor, and horse outlines of the Mengyuan soldiers are gradually clear from the dust.

The horses of all colors marched in a neat and slow rhythm, pressing towards the city, and the dust behind the strikers was still flying in the sky, and there was no edge in sight.

"Woo-woo-" A desolate horn overflowed the military formation of the Anfeng army, and the cavalry stopped in a neat military formation, the tall spears were like a forest, and the array was overwhelming, gradually revealing the clear outline of the phalanx.

Hao Shisan looked far away, and did not see the infantry behind, no need to count the heads, this is the most elite 3,000 cavalry of the Red Horse Exploration Army of Mengyuan Anfeng's army.

In the Chinese army, the majestic leader raised the whip, and the three thousand red horse exploration troops stopped advancing, listed the strict phalanx, the army formation was slightly fixed, and a black horse rushed to the Yuan army's army.

He wore iron Luo ring armor, bearded beard, wore an iron helmet along the length of Meng Yuan, crossed the saber on the ribs, carried a quiver on his back, followed by two Na Ke'er, a place of arrows, and also Sutai strangled the war horse under his crotch, and the horsewhip pointed at the city toe and shouted arrogantly: "I am also Sutai Wanhu, ask your leader to come out and answer!" ”

Hao Shisan was standing behind the battlements of the city gate at this time, he was wearing an unusually thin armor (there was no large one found in the warehouse), and the iron helmet on his head seemed to be a little large, this ill-fitting armor looked very funny. Carrying the "borrowed" Mongolian saber in his hand, he took two steps forward and began to show his acting skills.

He held his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly, symbolically gave a shallow Mongolian salute, and said in an irresistible tone: "Yes, Sutai Wanhu has brought so many troops, and he is here to be happy for my Hao 13 to take up the post of Anfeng of the Red Turban Army, right?" Then please leave the army outside and come to my mansion for two glasses of mare's milk pub!" ”

"Phew!" also Sutai Wanhu spurned and said: "You are a pickled and lowly southerner, and you are worthy of inviting my dignified court Wanhu to drink?" Anfeng manager? I'm afraid it's not enough to lick my toes, I advise you, you still obediently sacrifice the city to surrender to the court, keep your head and drink mare's milk wine by yourself, otherwise I will break through the city, and together with the rebellious people, I will also kill it clean! ”

"Hey!" Hao Shisan laughed lightly, and said exaggeratedly and funny: "I kindly invite you to drink, forget it if you don't drink!" The recruits of the Red Turban Army who were originally nervous around them laughed, and the tense atmosphere of the Red Turban Army in Shouzhou City suddenly caused a lot of links.

Hao Shisan immediately changed his tone and said firmly: "I also speed up the ten thousand households, I advise you, you will go wherever you come from, don't say that you don't have siege equipment, even if you do, the people of my Shouzhou City are united, unless the entire city is killed, otherwise, you must not break the city!" ”

Hao Shisan's left-handed Qianhu Wu Liuqi obviously felt that Hao Shisan's words were not fierce enough to arouse the anger of Ye Sutai, and accosted: "Ye Sutai Wanhu, I can prove that what Manager Hao said is definitely Jin Yuliang's words."

Governor Hao abolished the harsh administration of the imperial court, exempted Shouzhou City from renting for one year, and each family issued a bucket of relief grain, this city, you can't break it, or like me, come to Manager Hao's hands, Manager Hao will not treat you badly, how can you ...... I can also give you a ten-master to be a captain, and when the time comes, I will ask Manager Hao to transfer you to my subordinates, and I will definitely not be able to treat you badly! ”

The former Nanren Han army was so arrogant in front of the thousands of households in Yesutai, and the rebellion was still a trivial matter, so he actually persuaded Yesutai to surrender, and he had to go to his subordinates to be a ten-captain, which was too bad.

He was also furious, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Wu Liuqi, you wolf-hearted and dog-hearted traitor who doesn't pay attention to kindness and righteousness......"

"It's also speedy and 10,000 households, save it! I am just a fourth-class pariahs in your eyes, and the treasury of the state city and the treasury of those are indebted to me and my brothers, I am a Han Chinese, and we want to fight the world for our Han people, so how can I say that I am a traitor? Wu Liuqi joked.

Ye Sutai's face turned purple, and the armor leaves all over his body made a noise, and he yelled: "What kind of hero is hiding in the city, there is a kind of formation out of the city, we will fight with real knives and guns!" ”

"Haha!" Hao 13 said with a smile: "I heard that when Genghis Khan was fighting, he also used Lele chariots to connect Guleyan to defend against the enemy, isn't the great Genghis Khan a hero?" Without further ado, my sabers are thirsty, if you want to attack, you will attack, if you don't attack, please take care of yourself. (Note 1)

Yasutai knew that no matter what, he couldn't lure this group of cunning enemies out of the city, and the rabble, the improvised mob, could still resist the sword rain of his cavalry archers? He raised his arrogant head, held the hilt of the knife under his ribs, and said coldly: "If you talk big, you can defeat the enemy, what do people do with knives!" "Turning, the horse is back to his roots.

"Woo-woo" In the military formation outside the city, a mournful horn sounded, and the order to attack was also given by Sutai.

The three thousand Mengyuan war cavalry were divided into three teams before and after, and they marched towards the city wall in unison.

Could it be that Meng Yuan's cavalry really put on wings and can fly to the city wall? Without siege equipment, how could they attack the tall walls of Shouzhou?

The horse team entered the range of the cavalry archers, 3,000 bows, 45 degrees full bow raised, "jump" "jump" "jump", a few bowstrings sounded, several test shots of feather arrows fell on the city of Shouzhou, shooting the two red turban soldiers who could not dodge to the ground.

"Quick, the enemy is about to release the arrows, prepare the shield, dodge the salvo of bows and arrows!" Wu Liuqi, a thousand households of the left army, had been in battle for a long time, and understood the battle of the Mengyuan soldiers, so he hurriedly shouted for the soldiers to dodge.

Could it be that Meng Yuan's cavalry really put on wings and can fly to the city wall? Without siege equipment, how could they attack the tall walls of Shouzhou?

Hao 13 saw that the other party did not have siege equipment, and wanted to humiliate the battlements of the city wall, but suddenly felt a black cloud overhead, blocking the afterglow of the sun.

Hao Shisan was just moving bricks on the construction site, where had he seen such a formation? Deng Shi was at a loss and didn't know what to do, and he couldn't turn into a hedgehog when such a rain of arrows fell?

He forgot what he had just said, his eyes widened like cowbells, and he forgot to dodge and escape, and a huge arrow target tree was there.

Fate, rest!

said that it was too late, it was too fast, and a general rushed to the oblique stab, it was Hao Thirteen's bodyguard monkey Zhang Thirty-one, who knocked Hao Thirteen down and pressed him under the battlements of the city wall.

"Crackling" heavy arrows with a sound of breaking through the air, like raindrops, nailed to the green bricks of the city wall, dense as grass.

Hao Shisan only felt a pain in his arm, and a feathered arrow had already pierced his armor and embedded it in his arm.

Hao Shisan's back was in a cold sweat, if it weren't for the monkey Zhang Thirty-one, I'm afraid Hao Shisan would have transformed into a hedgehog full of feathered arrows at this time and went to the next reincarnation.

Behind him, several guards lay on the ground and wailed, fortunately, this is the city wall defended by Wu Liuqi's left army, most of the city walls are Wu Liuqi's original Han army, with complete armor and certain combat experience, heavy arrows can only break the armor, but can not penetrate, only hurt the flesh and skin.

That's it, Hao Shisan still saw a hideous face beside him, alive being shot through the head by a feather arrow through the front door, those round and wide eyes seemed to have too much unwillingness, but they had long lost their breath.

The archery skills of the steppe cavalry really deserve its name.

Hao 13 knew that this kind of wounded wail could not be allowed to wail on the head of the city, as it would lower the morale of the defending soldiers, which is the legendary frightened, and then cause the army to collapse.

Hao Shisan pushed away the thin monkey Zhang Thirty-one on his body, struggled to get up from the ground, gritted his teeth and cut off the arrow shaft on his arm with a saber, a cone stabbing pain came from his arm, he just raised his eyebrows, and did not make a sound.

He fell to the ground and wailed loudly: "The head has fallen off the bowl and has a big scar, and the master has just been bitten by a mosquito, so he looks like a man!" ”

"Auxiliaries, hurry up and carry the wounded down!"

Before Hao 13 could finish shouting, the second round of heavy arrows from the Red Horse Exploration Army came.

Hao 13 heard the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air in the air, and immediately picked up a round shield from the ground, covering one side of his body, and bowed his body to protect the soldiers around him who were hit by the previous round of feather arrows.

More soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, looking at the living faces, minor injuries turned into serious injuries, serious injuries had already been killed, and more arrows were inserted into the dead corpses.

Hao 13 was furious.

In this way, it has been suppressed by the enemy's heavy sword fire, coupled with the wails that spread wantonly on the city, the army will not last long, and it will collapse,

"Wu Liuqi, are your archers vegetarians!" Hao 13 roared.

Wu Liuqi, as a thousand households in the Han army, already had his own archers, and Hao Shisan transferred a hundred bows to him from the treasury, and he sighed, "Archers...... Full String ...... Put! ”

Hao 13 couldn't wait to climb the battlement, wanting to see the tragic situation of the enemy outside the city after being hit by arrows, wanting to prove that he Hao 13 was not a vegetarian, and he also had archers to fight back.
