Volume 2 Cangyan Black Cloud Chapter 002 Three-Bow Bed Crossbow
Chao Yongzhi glanced at the monster at the foot of the mountain, and his tone was as calm as ever: "Chao came to the Tang Dynasty, first studied Confucianism under Zhao Xuanmo, an assistant teacher of the four sects, for two years, and then followed the Hexi Longyou Jiedu to make Wang Zhonghei garrison Tubo. According to the agreement, Chao can return to China. The Tubo soldiers came out of the stone fort, the border was tight, Dr. Wang kept Chao, and when he repelled Tubo, he must personally send Chao back to China. Chao followed Dr. Wang for four years, Dr. Wang was as kind to Chao as a mountain, and the military situation was urgent, and it was inconvenient for Chao to retreat, so he stayed. This stay is four years, accumulating military merits for eight turns, and becoming a captain of the light car on the fourth grade! Seeing that he would be able to return to China, he never thought that Li Linfu was jealous of Dr. Wang, and went forward to slander the emperor, causing Dr. Wang to die violently. After Dr. Wang's death, Chao thanked Dr. Wang for his kindness, and wanted to keep filial piety for Dr. Wang for three years before returning to China, and you know the rest of the matter! ”
Bu Yunfei nodded secretly. Wang Zhongsi has a very high reputation in the army of Shuofang in the east of Longyou River, was framed by Li Linfu and died, many people complained about him, Chao Yongzhi volunteered to keep filial piety for Wang Zhonghei for three years, and he was a righteous person.
Moreover, Chao Yongzhi is indeed a general, after eight years in the army, he was promoted from a white Ding to a lieutenant in the light car, such a promotion speed is unique. This is of course related to Wang Zhonghe's support, but it is mainly because of Chao's ability to use it, and at the moment when Tubo is a great enemy, Wang Zhongsi is trying his best to keep Chao to use it, which can be seen.
And today, in Cangyan Ridge, Chao Yongzhi's commander 300 soldiers, fought with 3,000 rebels for a day, repelled the rebels' three charges, although more than half of the losses were lost, but killed 800 enemies, and the slopes of Cangyan Mountain were full of rebel corpses, which gave Bu Yunfei a good understanding of the courage and ability to use it - he was drenched in blood, but not a drop of blood was his own, and the rebel soldiers who died under his long knife were at least fifty people!
Talented and slightly righteous, Bu Yunfei has respect for Chao Yong's heart.
If Chao Yongzhi can return to Japan, he will definitely be able to make a difference!
However, he could only die in obscurity in Cangyan Mountain as a cloth cloth!
Cangyan Mountain is surrounded by cliffs, and it was originally a military Jedi!
What's more, a row of terrifying monsters appeared at the foot of the mountain!
That's the three-bow bed crossbow known as the world's killer!
After the lancers, ten three-bow bed crossbows were unfurled in turn.
The so-called three-bow bed crossbow, two bows in front and one bow in the back, the bowstring is strong, and it is said that it takes eight cows to pull it open, so it is also called the eight-bow crossbow. The three-bow bed crossbow is a large siege equipment, when used, more than 100 people must work together, can fire 30 iron bone glass cone arrows at the same time, also known as a gun and three sword arrows, this arrow is more than a battle long, longer than the spear in the soldier's hand, fine iron is made, with iron feathers, within 250 steps, can penetrate a foot wide brick wall. In the 8th century, the three-bow bed crossbow was a well-deserved weapon of destruction!
Bu Yunfei looked at the monster-like three-bow bed crossbow, and his heart was desperate. The three-bow bed crossbow destroyed the withering and decaying, and the gabled temple of Xingshan Temple would collapse in an instant under the blow of the three-bow bed crossbow.
It seems that Cai Xide under the mountain is determined to solve the battle in one battle!
Ten days ago, Chao Yongzhi repelled the Taiyuan ambush led by Zai Bo in the Cotton River, rescued Bu Yunfei, according to Ma Sui's plan, everyone turned back to the north, came to Tumen, and Ma Sui converged.
The hundreds of miles around Changshan were all controlled by the rebels. The Taiyuan army held the Jingcheng Pass and confronted the rebels. Tumen is located at the junction of Hebei and Hedong, is a small mountain village at the foot of Taihang Mountain, the terrain is remote, sparsely populated, the land is barren, the product is scarce, it is a three-regardless area.
Tumen is only seventy or eighty miles away from Changshan, surrounded by mountains and mountains, and there is no road to the north and west, which looks like a Jedi. However, neither the rebels nor the Taiyuan army had time to take care of such an inconspicuous small place. Therefore, after rescuing Qin Xiaoxiao from An Lushan's camp, Ma Sui galloped more than ten miles to the southeast, creating the illusion of wanting to break through to the southeast, and then suddenly turned back to the north and went straight to Tumen.
Ma Sui planned to hide in Tumen for a while, wait and see how the battle situation changed, and then try to escape.
Although, at the moment, it seems that the earth gate is a Jedi. But it won't be long before Tumen is likely to be the best place to escape!
This is because the An Lushan rebels will make every effort to capture Luoyang, and then use Luoyang as a base to march to Shaanxi County. Ma Sui judged that it was difficult for the Tang Dynasty to compete with the rebels on the front line of Luoyang-Shaanxi County, and the loss of Luoyang was inevitable, once Luoyang fell, the best choice for the imperial court was to hold Tongguan with heavy troops to prevent the rebels from entering the pass, and at the same time, mobilize the northwest armies, take Hedong as the base, and attack the rear Hebei of An Lushan, so that the rebels could not take care of each other.
If the imperial court is aware of this strategic intent, then it will not be long before Tang soldiers will come out of Jingcheng Pass and come to Tumen. Ma Sui even asserted that it was definitely not the Taiyuan Army that sent troops to Tumen, and Wang Chengye did not have the bearing or strength to march directly to Hebei.
The one who dared to march into Hebei to fight the rebels was most likely Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's Shuofang army! Shuofang Town is adjacent to Hedong, and Shuofang's army can quickly enter Hedong.
At that time, everyone will be able to join up with the Shuo Fang army and get out of danger.
However, man is not as good as heaven!
The pursuers sent by An Lushan were not anyone else, but Cai Xide!
No one would have thought that Ma Sui would take Princess Yinyao and take the initiative to throw herself into the Tumen Jedi. Except for Cai Xide!
Cai Xide was also deceived by Ma Sui for a time, and he led 3,000 men and horses to chase southeast for two days and reached the Hexia area.
At this time, Cai Xide suddenly realized that it was impossible for Ma Sui to flee to Huainan! He must have fled in the other direction.
However, there are countless directions around Changshan, and it is not easy to accurately determine the whereabouts of Ma Sui.
However, the shrewd Cai Xide did not hesitate to go straight to the earth gate!
Ma Sui, Bu Yunfei and others only spent three days in Tumen before they were discovered by Cai Xide.
Cai Xide's department is the elite of 3,000 who can fight habitually. As for Ma Sui's subordinates, there were only more than 300 people who had been improvised together, including 50 cavalry of the Xiaowei Army who were used by Chao, more than 100 Changshan soldiers who were Bu Yunfei, and more than 100 Tongluo cavalry who followed Li Riyue.
Everyone had to rely on the mountainous terrain around Tumen to deal with Cai Xide.
In the following five days, everyone wandered around in the mountains and mountains, avoiding hard fighting with Cai Xide, although there were several small engagements, but each time there was no danger, everyone was able to slip out of the cracks of Fan Yangjun.
Until a day ago, they were forced to Cangyan Mountain by Cai Xide.
Cangyan Mountain is surrounded by cliffs, the terrain is dangerous, and there is only one plank road dug on the cliff and the foot of the mountain to figure out. The bridge hall built in the air guards the center of the plank road, and the one husband is the pass, and the ten thousand people are not open! With such a dangerous terrain, Cai Xide's three thousand elites cannot be displayed. Since yesterday, Cai Xide has launched more than ten attacks, each time, in front of the Qiaolou Palace, in vain, on the plank road under the Qiaolou Palace, Fan Yangjun corpses are piled up.
However, for the defending side, this danger is also a prison!
They have no way to escape.
In fact, the besiegers don't need to attack at all, as long as they surround Cangyan Mountain for five days, and the mountain is cut off from water and food, this natural danger will be self-defeating!
It's just that Cai Xide can't wait for five days!
An Lushan's army has broken through Luoyang and is preparing for the enthronement ceremony. He wants to see Qin Xiaoxiao at the enthronement ceremony!
An Lushan, who has always lacked self-confidence, wants to borrow the name of Qin Xiaoxiao, the princess of Yinyao, to win a good name for himself!
This is the tragedy of An Lushan. Qin Xiaoxiao is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she is also a fake princess, she is not the golden branch and jade leaf of the Li family at all, and her background is extremely low. However, she has a name given by the Tang Emperor, and in An Lushan's opinion, this name is enough to give him a psychological comfort!
Princess Yinyao is his concubine, and he can declare the world that his lintel is not lower than that of the relatives of the Tang Emperor!
In order to satisfy An Lushan's almost perverted inferiority complex, Cai Xide launched wave after wave of strong attacks on Cangyan Mountain!
Fan Yang's iron horseman, who galloped across the white mountains and black waters, had to jump off his war horse and rush to the narrow plank road on foot.
The desperate resistance they encountered, the tenacity of the resistance, and the fierceness of the battle, surpassed all the battle formations they had experienced in Liaodong!
Every attack is a throw-to-death!
In the bridge hall, the corpse almost blocked the plank road.
Fan Yangbing had never experienced such a battle, they were accustomed to galloping across the plains and slashing with pleasure, and they had never had the experience of meeting their opponents on narrow mountain roads.
Fan Yangbing is not afraid of death, but such an aggrieved death makes them feel cold!
Cai Xide was red-eyed, and finally sacrificed a three-bow bed crossbow.
The power of the three-bow bed crossbow is huge, a salvo can fire 30 iron bone glass cone arrows more than one zhang long, destroying the withered and decaying, invincible, the entire Xingshan Temple, will be the jade burned!
The reason why Cai Xide didn't use this big killing weapon for a long time was because he was afraid of hurting Qin Xiaoxiao.
Now, Cai Xide, who is red-eyed because of the loss of soldiers, can't take care of Qin Xiaoxiao!
"Don't you regret it?" Bu Yunfei leaned in front of the mountain gate, and he could almost hear the tearing sound of the tight bowstring on the crossbow of the three-bow bed.
The sunset in the west sprinkled a crimson light, and on the crossbow of the three-bow bed, layers of dense iron-bone glass cone arrows shone with cold light.
"Of course I regret it!" Chao Yongzhi narrowed his eyes and turned a blind eye to the three-bow bed crossbow: "However, compared to Yan Gaoqing, there is nothing to regret!" Chao Mou just lost his fame, Yan Gaoqing not only lost his life, but also lost his reputation! ”
Changshan City was broken, Yan Gaoqing and a thousand Changshan soldiers were martyred, just this morning, Cai Xide hung out Yan Gaoqing's head in front of the army and persuaded the defenders of Cangyan Mountain to abandon their weapons and surrender.
"Yan Quanying and Ma Sui have already taken my letter to Chang'an to express their grievances to the emperor, and the court will restore his reputation!" Bu Yunfei said.
Chao Yongzhi sneered: "Master Bu is too optimistic!" ”
