Chapter 181: The Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, and Liao State Borders
Need a crossbowman?
What's going on, there is no one guarding the east and west gates of Yanchang County, and there are no soldiers in the city who are resisting, where do you still need crossbowmen?
When asked about the situation, Li Chu frowned.
When the soldiers were in the south of the city, they found that there was a courtyard where several men with knives rushed out, probably awakened by the sound of cannons at the city gate, and ran out to check the situation.
Probably I didn't expect that there would be so many people from the Qilin Army, and they retreated into the courtyard after being defeated, and there were thirty or forty men with knives in this courtyard, as well as several archers, who shot a lot of arrows from it, so that the Qilin Army couldn't capture this place for a while.
Everyone was attracted by this incident, and no one noticed that the face of the merry Zhixian who was kneeling on the ground changed, and his head was pressed deep on the ground.
When this happened, Li He immediately brought three teams of soldiers from the rapid reaction force to support him.
In the south of the city, the wooden door of this courtyard is made of a kind of ironwood after some special processes, comparable to hard iron, even if the embroidered spring knife is cut on it, it only brings out a little opening, and there is no way to force the door to enter for a while, and there are arrows thrown out of the house from time to time to harass.
When Li He rushed over with three teams of crossbowmen, the soldiers of the Shui Army here had already cut down a big tree next to it, leaving the trunk and temporarily making it into a siege fortress, and ten soldiers and colleagues held the bucket-sized trunk and quickly rushed into the gate in front.
Some big men in the courtyard were holding their bodies against the gate, and six or seven archers kept throwing arrows outward.
Fortunately, the soldiers outside were all wearing iron frames, and the arrows did not hurt the soldiers.
Yao Erye looked at this gate that was constantly not being knocked on, and he sweated a lot in his heart.
So far, his mind is still clouded, what happened?
Yesterday was fine, why did so many officers and soldiers rush in all of a sudden, he didn't think that the group of people in front of him would be the bandits nearby, this is simply a joke, and now in this extended area, there is a bandit cottage who dares to come to tease him Dulong Village?
In addition, the group of people outside are all dressed in standard armor and equipment, and at a glance, they know that they are from the government, but this dress is so unfamiliar, and there are no officers and soldiers in this Yan'an Mansion that he Yao Lao Er has never seen. But the more officers and soldiers he has never seen, the more bottomless he Yao Lao Er's heart is.
Could it be that this matter has already been known to the imperial court?
Yao Lao'er's back instantly turned cold.
This is impossible, but how can this officer and soldier explain at the moment, if the imperial court does not know, how can it send officers and soldiers from other places to encircle and suppress, this officer and soldier seems to be well-trained, it should be a certain forbidden army stationed in other state capitals.
Yao Lao Er clenched his fists, what about Sun Ren?
Where did Sun Ren go?
As a magistrate, he didn't know such important news.
There is not even any news, there must be movement in the transfer of this official army, and the spies in Yan'an will definitely send news, but the news did not come, but waited until the official army attacked directly.
"Resist, give me all the resistance, whoever wants to take a step back, don't blame the time to do things according to the rules in the village."
Second Master Yao's face was gloomy, he couldn't understand why the officers and soldiers of the imperial court came so quickly, which made people unprepared, and ran directly to this book, this is not to catch them, then there are ghosts. After roaring, he looked left and right, and quietly disappeared into the darkness. His three cronies also guarded the back door early and waited for Yao Lao'er's arrival.
"Let's go."
The place can no longer be stayed, and there are more and more officers and soldiers on the side of the main gate, and it is only a matter of time before the door is broken.
The back door leads to a corner of the south city gate, and after Yao Erye came out, he immediately led three cronies to the side of the city wall, and quietly took advantage of the concealment of the city wall to lean towards the west city gate.
On the side of the main gate, as the gate was opened, the soldiers holding the trunk of the tree had made way for a way, and the crossbowmen had already aimed at this side, and as soon as the door opened, more than ten crossbow arrows were shot in, and several big men standing in front of the door were shot to death in an instant, and the huge impact force even carried their corpses backwards.
More than a dozen soldiers loaded with crossbow bolts rushed into the courtyard and fired at the big man who was still standing in the courtyard.
The soldiers behind also rushed in.
After a while, the courtyard was controlled, and three live mouths were caught, but after interrogation, they refused to confess anything, and one of them even bit his tongue and committed suicide.
The remaining two people, Li He, asked them to plug their mouths with clothes, checked between their teeth and whether there was any poison hidden in their hands, tied them all up to prevent them from committing suicide again, and then escorted these two people to Li Chu's side and handed them over to Li Chu.
Extend the county and county yazhong.
Li Chugao sat in the position of the county honor, and Sun Ren, the merry county, nodded and waited on the side.
Anyway, whatever Li Chu said, he nodded yes, and whatever Li Chu said, he agreed, very simply.
This made Li Chu very curious about the origin of this guy, he could be a county governor at the age of thirty, although this Yanchang County was a little poor, Li Chu just looked through a lot of Yanchang County information, and found that this Yanchang County was really poor enough.
The population of a county is only more than 700 households.
There are less than 700 households, what kind of concept is this? When I think of the poor mountains and bad waters here, it is understandable, this Sun Ren is also a tragedy, so he should belong to a character with no background, otherwise he would not be put into this kind of poor ravine.
From Sun Ren's mouth, I learned that there must be more than one person in Yanchang County, mainly because there are many escapees, most of them are in this deep ravine.
There are also many bandits here, and there are hundreds of large and small cottages hidden in the reckless mountains around here.
As soon as he heard this number, Li Chu was instantly stunned, hundreds of cottages ......
When you see from the map that the north of this Yan'an Mansion is the border of Western Xia, you will understand.
To the northwest, it is Western Xia.
And this side is not only Western Xia, but also the border of Liao.
Although the border of the Liao State is on the side of the Hedong Road in the northeast, it is not far from this side, and soldiers from the Liao State often rush into the border of Western Xia.
It is said that it is the border of Western Xia, and it is better to say that it is a sensitive intersection area where the three kingdoms of the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia and Liao State meet.
While studying the border here, Li He came back with someone.
The two living mouths that were tied up were thrown directly into the county ya's yatang.
When he saw these two people, Sun Ren's face twitched.
The two people on the ground, although their hands and feet were tied and their mouths were blocked, they could see it in front of them, and naturally saw Li Chu sitting on the high hall, dressed in gold and bronze armor...... and Sun Ren, who stood next to Li Chu.
The two of them widened their eyes in disbelief, and when they came back to their senses, they instantly became excited, and they also stared at Sun Ren with anger in their eyes.
The body struggled constantly, and his mouth was whimpering and trying to shout, but he couldn't say a word.
"Woooooooooooooo (To be continued.) )
