Wei Qiang is not a presumptuous person, if this invasion of the Liao State had been a few years ago, he would have run away with his family a long time ago. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, since last year, the imperial court has carried out a certain amount of support for the landlords' armed forces in the border areas, including inviting regular officers to train private soldiers for them, teaching them some simple combat skills, and organizing these soldiers to train the regular troops for two months before the beginning of spring.

At the same time, in terms of equipment, the imperial court allowed the landlords of these border areas to build their own armor. In addition, each private soldier can be equipped with a certain number of palm mines and flamethrowers according to the number of people. Wei Qiang had eight hundred private soldiers, and he hid four flamethrowers and twenty palm thunders in his cellar.

These are Wei Qiang's dependence, of course, his biggest reliance is his belief that the Song army's reinforcements will come soon.

At this point, Chen Yuan implemented Mao Wansui's instructions, when the war started, it was necessary to know that to mobilize the strength of the masses, and the all-people war was always the most effective means to repel a strong enemy. Chen Yuan persuaded Renzong to arm these private soldiers and civilians to a certain extent, and at the same time issued a holy decree.

And the decree was posted at the door of the county office, and all could see it. The holy decree said that once the Liao people invaded the Great Song Dynasty, all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, regardless of men and women, old and young, had the responsibility to protect the land. Kill one Liao soldier, reward five taels of silver, kill one Liao [***] official, reward three acres of good land. Those who kill the generals of the Liao State will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 1,000 hectares of fertile land.

The battle just now was very easy, and Wei Qiang calculated in his heart that this was a few hundred acres of land. Distribute some to the two villages next to them, as for the villagers behind, the fields will not be given to them, and they will see how much reward the court gives, and take out some to send them away.

Xiao Da led his cavalry to kill again, and finally saw his enemy on a flat field in front of the village gate.

More than 2,000 villagers of the Song Dynasty waited solemnly, with four rows of rejecting horses in the front, two rows of minfu numbering about 1,000 people in the back, then a group of private soldiers with a kind of musket in their hands, and finally, a group of peasants who looked chaotic and carried various weapons in their hands.

Xiao Da didn't care about the private soldiers with muskets, he knew that the landlord armament of the Song army did not have bows and crossbows, and when he rushed in front of him, the horse did not stop, and the spear in his hand pointed forward: "Ride and shoot!" Kill all these Song pigs! ”

The Liao people immediately used their riding and archery skills, and the crossbow arrows rushed to their faces!

Wei Qiang had already prepared for this: "Plank! Hurry up the planks! ”

His order was very timely, but the villagers were frightened by the momentum of the Liao people, many of them were shaking their hands and feet, and their movements were much slower, causing hundreds of casualties, but in the end, they finally lifted the plank with that uneven movement!

After these planks are erected, they are not as uniform and beautiful as shields, some are large and some are small, some are wide and some are narrow, most of them are freshly removed door panels and bed boards, and the door god with teeth and claws on the door panel can still be seen clearly.

The most creative thing is that a villager who came out with a bed board, maybe he came out in a hurry, and he didn't have time to take a closer look, but there was actually a woman's red belly pocket in the middle of the bed board, and the belly pocket was embroidered with a brilliant peony flower in full bloom. Even though the sky is dark, the belly pocket is floating in the wind in a rain of arrows, and the peony flowers can still be seen clearly.

Xiao Da rushed to the front, and when he approached the rejection horse, he slowed down, preparing to pick off the rejection horse with his spear. His movements were very skillful, without the slightest nervousness, because he saw that the Song people on the opposite side did not have bows and crossbows in their hands.

He had also seen the kind of muskets of the Song Dynasty, and even used them as a general. In Xiao Da's opinion, these muskets were not accurate, they were troublesome to reload, and they could not pose any threat to themselves at all.

Wei Qiang gave an order: "Ignition!" ”

After a row of gunshots rang out, the Liao cavalry who rushed to the front fell off their horses, Xiao Da was very lucky, the war horse under his crotch was frightened by the gunshot, and a neighing roar raised his front hooves, and Xiao Da's whole person was overturned from the war horse.

The iron sand struck into the belly of the war horse, but Xiao Da brushed shoulders with the close Grim Reaper. The soldiers behind him hurriedly came up to help him up, and he only then realized that the dense blow of the musket was so powerful, and the casualties caused to the Liao soldiers were even worse than the salvo of the bow and crossbow!

"Quick! Rush up, you can't let them hit the iron sand again! Xiao Da reacted quickly, ignoring the wounded soldiers who were moaning on the ground, and continued to rush forward.

It's a pity that Wei Qiang didn't know the reason for firing sequentially, six hundred rifles were fired at the same time, although the lethality was satisfactory, but there was a long gap left in the middle, and this period of time was enough for those Liao people to pick up all the horses in the first row.

After the second round of shooting, many Liao soldiers fell to the ground, but their first three rows of horses were also provoked. Until the Liao people cleared the fourth row of rejected horses, Xiao Da had already paid more than 300 casualties.

It didn't matter, the Song people on the opposite side no longer had any cover, they directly faced the hooves of the Liao people, and the fierce and hideous appearance of the Liao cavalry made some villagers panic. Some of the timid people have already begun to run away, and many people have thrown down their hands and run back.

The retreat of one person will trigger the collapse of the entire army, especially these villagers who have no organizational discipline and have no surname, they have no idea that running is useless.

The corners of Xiao Da's mouth showed a hint of fierceness, so many Liao soldiers had died, if he didn't kill all these people, would he still have the face to lead the soldiers in the future? He had already seen Wei Qiang, and Xiao Da knew that this person was the organizer of this resistance against him.

He must die! Xiao Da's eyes were fixed on Wei Qiang, locking him into his own target.

Wei Qiang didn't organize any law enforcement team to suppress those who escaped, and when he saw that the Liao people were about to rush over, Wei Qiang shouted: "Get out of the way!" The cattle are gone! ”

Xiao Da was stunned when he heard this, and when he was thinking about what he meant, he saw that the Song people on the opposite side immediately flashed to both sides, and more than fifty cattle of the kind that the Song people used to plow the land rushed towards him! The cattle were blindfolded with a red cloth, and each cow had a string of firecrackers hanging from its buttocks.

The explosion of firecrackers and the red cloth blindfolded made those cattle rush forward in a frenzied manner, colliding with the Liao cavalry. Where is the opponent of the scalper when the war horse is colliding? The road was not very wide, and fifty cows rushed over together, and in front of people who felt that they couldn't dodge at all, the Liao [***] team suddenly wailed, and countless people fell to the ground.

Some of the guys jumped into the fields or woods on both sides, but they didn't take a few steps before they fell into the traps dug by the villagers in advance, and the formation of the Liao [***] team was extremely chaotic for a while.

Wei Qiang laughed and pulled out the knife at his waist: "Sons! Kill the Liao dog! ”

His private soldiers still didn't run, and followed Wei Qiang to kill them, slashing and killing the Liao people who fell to the ground as much as they could.

The villagers, who had already run back to the village, saw that the situation was better at this time, and they also came back with a stick, and beat up those Liao people who were alone or dared to resist.

Until chasing more than two miles, Wei Qiang saw that those cattle were killed by the Liao, and the Liao soldiers in front were already regrouping in formation, and they didn't dare to go up to fight again, so they hurriedly retreated back with the team, and this time they retreated directly into the village.

By this time, it was already dark, and the two sides lit torches and prepared to fight again.

People who fight for the first time are easily emotionally infected, and the villagers are very excited about two consecutive victories. Although there were six or seven hundred dead and wounded on his side these two times, those Liao people were repulsed again.

The injured villagers were happy, and the old and young women and children in the village had already made preparations, and the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law immediately came to bandage their wounds.

The wound that still felt very painful had to be endured in front of them, and they must not hum. If the young man who is not yet married happens to meet the big girl he likes, he will squeeze out a smile and brag to his companion about his bravery just now, but in fact, he wants the girl to hear and let her see how strong he is.

Xiao Da was very depressed, several Song army barracks were beaten down by themselves, but they suffered heavy losses in front of this mountain villa, and were blocked by these villagers, his eyes erupted with anger, and he wanted to burn the entire Zhuangzi immediately.

Count the number of people, 3,000 went to 1,000, and I am even more determined in my heart that I must burn this village, and I must kill all the people inside to relieve the hatred in my heart!

When I returned to the gate of the village again, I saw the death of those Liao soldiers along the way, which can be described as miserable, and many people were beaten to death by the Song people with blunt objects.

The corners of Xiao Da's mouth trembled sharply, and he shouted loudly: "Listen to the Song people inside, now give you one last chance, come out and surrender, I will spare you from death in the future, and let you leave safely with your family!" If you still dare to resist, you will not stay behind the chickens and dogs that break through the village gate! ”

Hearing that the Liao people promised to let them leave with their families, some villagers were immediately moved, and looked at Wei Qiang timidly, Wei Qiang didn't pay attention to Xiao Da outside, and his eyes scanned the surroundings: "Just now, which bastard ran first?" ”

As soon as he asked this, the villagers retreated back to show that it was not him. Wei Qiang didn't seriously pursue it, and said in a very stern tone: "Remember in the future, if Master Ben doesn't leave, you can't go either!" If I see who dares to run, don't expect to live in this acre and three points in the future! In this place, Master Wei said that if you get out, you will get out, you untouchables are like this, and so are these Liao people! ”

After Wei Qiang finished speaking, he walked to the door, he didn't know why the Song army hadn't come to reinforce yet, but he didn't have the slightest intention of surrendering. The terrain here is very familiar to him, in order to deal with Xu Huaide, he also made arrangements in the village, now it is dark, if the Liao people dare to come in at night, then who fights who is not certain!

"Listen to the Liao dog on the other side, your uncle has dug a cemetery, either bury you, or I will lie in it myself! If you have the ability to let the horse come, if you can't afford to go home and eat a few more mouthfuls of milk! Wei Qiang said this very well, and those men applauded and coaxed after hearing it.

Xiao Da on the opposite side had a gloomy face. He also knew that if he continued to fight at night, he might suffer a big loss, and he didn't know anything about the situation in the village, but those villagers could run away with their eyes closed.

Besides, his own forces have been damaged, and it is not feasible to mobilize a large army from behind now, because those Song troops must be watched, they are more terrible than these villagers.

Xiao Da thought about it for a while, then wait until dawn tomorrow, the first thing he will do at dawn tomorrow is to kill all these people!

Waved his hand at the moment: "Block the surrounding roads, and don't let anyone go." ”
