Chapter 328: The First Battle

Who released the arrows without permission? Zhao Futang was also watching the enemy situation on the city tower, and when he saw someone releasing arrows without authorization, he immediately said angrily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a while, a few people escorted a soldier in front of him, and reported: General Qiyu, this person just released the arrow without authorization, and the little ones have taken him down and brought him over!

Zhao Futang looked down at the soldier who was pressed to the ground, and asked, "Who are you?" Why don't you stop giving military orders and release arrows without authorization?

This soldier also knew that it was obviously against the military order to release arrows without authorization, but in his heart he felt that he was right to shoot this Mongolian soldier with arrows, so he twisted his neck and replied: General Qiyu, the little one is named Lu Futun, and he is the archer of the Loyal and Righteous Army Archer Battalion, and he was too angry just now to forget the military order, but the Mongolian soldiers are too arrogant, the small ones can't see it, and the small ones don't feel that there is anything wrong!

As soon as Zhao Futang saw the dress of this soldier, he knew that he was Peng Yibin's former subordinate in the city, not a subordinate of the Holy Protector Army, so he lost a lot of anger.

After all, these people have not received any serious training before, and they know very little about military orders, Peng Yibin's subordinates only need to be brave, and they have very little military discipline, and their implementation is also very non-standardized.

The two armies do not fight to make it, this is the rule, although the arrogance, but you can't call the shots without permission, so you will shoot arrows at him, this official today read in you don't know the rules, but also the first offense on the face, it will not be investigated, but you remember to me, the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime is unforgivable, you have violated the military regulations, if you do not deal with it, it is difficult to convince the public, today I see that your archery skills are good, so I ordered you to wait for the Mongols to attack the city, I will shoot at least ten Mongolian Tartars to death, otherwise, when the time comes, the official will be held accountable! Let him go and let him go down!

Zhao Futang said to this Lu Futun, and these soldiers and generals around him all looked at Zhao Futang sideways, especially that Shi Chonggui, who was still worried about whether this Lu Futun would be cut off his head just now, and now he breathed a long sigh of relief, and was a little grateful to Zhao Futang in his heart.

Zhao Futang's move also won the hearts of many former Enzhou defenders, which shocked the morale of the city, and many people said that this Song general surnamed Zhao was good, not a timid person who was afraid of death!

Seeing that the city of Enzhou refused to surrender, Polu's vanguard army spread out outside the city and galloped back and forth under the city, and the cavalry staggered back and forth under the city walls, whistling and screaming like ghosts, and fired arrows at the city.

They lack siege equipment at the moment, and it is impossible to immediately launch a siege, but the Mongols have the methods of the Mongols, they use cavalry to attack the morale of the defenders in the city first, and the defenders basically have little way to take them, after all, it is very difficult to shoot at a fast-moving target, and their cavalry can cause great damage to the defenders.

Seeing the Mongolian soldiers acting so arrogantly, Zhao Futang immediately ordered to release arrows to repel them, so the two armies never said a word again, even if they fought, the city and the city were all arrows like flying locusts, constantly staggered in mid-air, although the Mongolian soldiers galloped very fast, but under the launch of many archers in the city, it was impossible to want an immortal, as soon as the two armies fought, some unlucky Mongolian soldiers were hit by arrows and fell under the horses, and after rolling a few times, they were either trampled to death by the war horses behind, or fell to death on the solid ground on the spot.

Under the attack of the Mongol cavalry, there were also some soldiers who were constantly hit by arrows, screaming and falling on the city wall, and at the beginning of the battle, neither side spared, and in less than an hour, the two armies each suffered more than 100 casualties.

Seeing that the Mongolian army was fierce, and it could still inflict such a big injury on the defenders of the city, Zhao Futang immediately became furious: throw the car and prepare, take a few thunderbolts out, find out where there are many of them, give them a few blows, and let them know that we are not easy to mess with!

Immediately, a box of thunderbolt cannons was brought up under the city walls, and then quickly distributed to several throwing carts in the city, and packed them in their pockets.

When the fuse was sizzled, the soldier who operated the throwing car pulled the rope in his hand with all his might, and the long throwing rod was immediately raised, driving the thunderbolt in the leather bag to fly out with a whoosh.

The throwing accuracy is insufficient, but this does not affect their effectiveness, anyway, there are Mongolian soldiers galloping on horseback outside, and they use thunderbolts, and they don't expect to kill a few Mongolian soldiers, so as long as the general direction is good, it is enough.

Soon there were several roars outside the city, and a burst of smoke and fire, and the thunderbolt cannon filled with gunpowder burst suddenly, blowing up the shells made of pig iron in all directions, and the Mongolian soldiers who were caught off guard died tragically outside the city under such a storm of shrapnel.

Suddenly, the Mongolian soldiers who suffered a dull loss immediately quickly turned their horses' heads and ran towards the distance outside the city, they were not afraid of bows and arrows, but they could not be afraid of this kind of explosive thunderbolt, no matter what armor they wore, they could not get a good result of one or two pieces of this thing, so the first wave of the Mongol army's attack was repelled by the Song army, and in a short period of time this Mongolian vanguard army could only be stationed outside the city, waiting for Polu to lead the main force to attack the city.

Seeing that the Mongolian army was repelled so easily, the city suddenly thundered with joy, and even the generals of Peng Yibin, who were defeated again and again under the Mongolian army at first, began to regain their confidence, not to mention the generals of the Holy Protector Army, and then their morale was greatly boosted.

How powerful am I to be these Tartars, and I want to take down our Enzhou City with this ability, I'm sorry! Ruftun spat at the city, gathered up his bow, wiped the sweat from his hands with a cloth, and then took off the bowstring and put it away.

Rouftun, why did you take off your bowstring? Zhao Futang happened to inspect this section of the city wall, and immediately recognized this soldier who had just disrespected the order and released arrows without authorization, so he asked him.

Lu Futun was startled, and when he turned around and saw Zhao Futang, the general of the Song Army, he quickly stood up straight and said: General Qiyu, the small one is raising a bow, if the bowstring is hung all the time, the bow arm will become softer and softer, and the arrows released will slowly lose their strength, and the small one is doing this just to wait for the Tartars to come again, and shoot a few more Tartars!

Zhao Futang was interested in this Lu Futun, so he reached out and took his bow and tried the strength of the bow arm.

Yo? Where did you get this bow? Zhao Futang looked at the bow and asked Lu Futun.

General Qiyu, this small bow is made by yourself! Lu Futun replied with some pride.

Then you tell the officer, where are you from? What did you do before? Zhao Futang became more and more interested in this Lu Futun, and then asked.

The little one is a Qingzhou person, since he was a child, he has been a hunter with his father, and he relies on a bow to eat, and then he can't live anymore, so he voted for our General Peng and became an archer here! Ruftun replied immediately.

Good! Let me ask you, how many Tartars did you shoot just now?

Don't dare to deceive the general, just now the little one shot two Tartars and injured one! Lu Futun straightened his chest and replied loudly.

General, I also saw it just now, Brother Lu's arrow shot very accurately, at least four or five Tartars! A soldier next to Lu Futun hurriedly confirmed it to Lu Futun.

There were not four or five, and two were killed, one was wounded, and the other two were shot, but they didn't fall off their horses! Lu Futun hurriedly said.

Zhao Futang immediately became happy, this time he picked up the treasure, the Mongolian soldiers outside the city just now have been running non-stop, if you want to hit them with an arrow, it is very difficult, even if he does not dare to guarantee that he can shoot, and this Lu Futun actually shot four or five Mongolian soldiers in a row, which shows that this person has excellent archery skills and can be regarded as a talent, so he immediately smiled and said: What a good man, not greedy for merit and rewards! Reward! This official will promote you to be the head of the archer today, reward you with 50 yuan, and give you a set of armor! If you can still make meritorious contributions, you will be allowed to join the Holy Army as a general!

The people around immediately showed a look of envy, now these Peng Yibin's subordinates, when they saw the equipment of the Holy Protector Army, they were all envious to death, they were all soldiers, look at other people's equipment, and then look at their equipment, there is no comparison at all! And this Lu Futun became the head of the capital today, and he got money, and even got a suit of armor, and if he made meritorious service, he could go to the Holy Protector Army as a serious officer and soldier, so he would have to get paid! So even if a group of people are annoyed, they are gearing up to do a lot of work, and they can also be mixed with officials.

Don't look at the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who were not popular in the Southern Song Dynasty, and their social status was also very low, but the treatment of soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty was indeed very good, in the eyes of the righteous army, they were very popular, and many people were very envious that they could be the regular army of the imperial court.

Lu Futun is an honest man, he didn't expect such a good thing to fall on his head, after a while, others stabbed him in the waist, he thought of thanks, so he quickly knelt down and thanked loudly: The little one is thank you for the general's reward, please rest assured that the little one will kill more Tartars!

Zhao Futang stretched out his hand to help Lu Futun up, and then said loudly to the surrounding rebel generals: Our marshal has said many times that you people are also our people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are all your own brothers, regardless of distance or proximity, as long as you dare to kill the enemy with your life in front of the battle, the reward will never forget you! The Tartars are unkind, slaughtering my people, how can we allow them to be so arrogant, since they have come to Enzhou City today, then we will also let them see how powerful we are!

Jizhou City can stop them, is it possible that the people in our Enzhou City are all girls? Since the Tartars are here, let's let them die one by one, and two die with a pair! Enju must win!

After saying that, he suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

For a while, there was a shout in the city, and the cry of Enzhou's victory resounded through the sky, like rolling thunder, far outside the city.
