Chapter 383: Asymmetrical Battle
The same scene is playing out over and over again.
The Jin soldiers sadly found that these "barbarian" Song people not only robbed their horses, but also fought to stab them a few times, and did not stop dying.
Xiao Tong is a little clever to himself.
He deliberately distanced himself from Yeheqi in front of him, and after entering the rabbit ditch, it became more difficult because the road he had trampled on was more difficult and he had more people under him.
Therefore, the annihilation of Ye Hequan's army did not give him a warning signal, which may be self-inflicted.
"General Xiao, we found the enemy behind!" The person who walked at the back reported the news, and Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, "Back?" Shouldn't it be our people in the back? He was still thinking about the 2,000 horsemen who had lost their horses.
He looked ahead, and the group of men and horses spread out, and the vanguard was already approaching the exit.
"Order the men in front to speed up and leave the enemy soldiers behind!"
Xiao Tong's order was faithfully carried out, and the vanguard sped up to speed out, and the men and horses behind followed closely.
Suddenly, there was a great chaos in the vanguard troops, and the people who went out rushed back in fear, Xiao Tong was shocked, "What happened ahead?" ”
"Report to the general, there are countless Song troops guarding the exit, and we can't get out!"
Xiao Tong's heart sank suddenly, and the last thing he wanted to see finally happened.
"Report to the general, the enemy behind has blocked the entrance, and we can't go back!"
Panic quickly spread among the troops, and the centaurs walking in the middle began to turn their horses in a panic.
"Don't mess around! Violators will be unforgiving! Xiao Tong shouted.
Xiao Tong suddenly found that his more than 10,000 horses and horses could not help but advance and retreat in this short ravine of more than ten miles, and this road had become a heavenly road that was difficult for him to climb to the sky.
After a brief commotion, the centaurs have finally settled down, but what to do next?
Xiao Tong was embarrassed.
Just when he was in a dilemma, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, what's that?" When everyone heard the sound, they looked up, only to see dozens of small black dots inexplicably appearing in the sky, and those small dots quickly became larger, and they were actually floating monsters in the shape of a shuttle, coming in the direction where they were.
"What is this?" Xiao Tong's eyes widened.
The fusiform projectiles came to a halt a hundred meters above them, and then a hole opened under their bellies, from which countless black balls spilled down.
The golden soldiers dodged to avoid being hit by the thing. The black balls bounced twice on the ground, and a puff of black smoke came out of them. A bold Jin soldier picked it up and observed it carefully, "What is this, and it will smoke?" ”
The answer was soon revealed, and with a loud bang, the black ball exploded, and the golden soldier, with his arms and face, all turned into nothing.
"Get out of the way!" I don't know who shouted, and the golden soldiers dismounted one after another to dodge, but ...... Nothing for birds!
With the sound of bang, those black balls exploded one after another, and for a while, the stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky, and the screams resounded all over the world.
Xiao Tong fell directly from the horse in shock, unfortunately, he lay on top of a black ball, with a muffled sound, his body jumped, a big hole appeared in the abdomen, Xiao Tong spurted blood from his mouth, and died of anger.
As soon as the commander died, the golden soldiers immediately turned into headless flies, dropped their weapons and desperately climbed up the slopes on both sides, and some rushed to the entrances and exits at both ends. At this time, sanity is a superfluous thing.
The golden soldiers soon discovered that they had nowhere to run. The monsters hovering overhead will follow them, and the deadly black ball will fall at any moment, taking their lives.
"Help!" I don't know who knelt on the ground in despair and cried out, and then he fell to his knees.
To their surprise, after they knelt down, the monster above their heads did not throw deadly black balls at them, so more people knelt down.
Rabbit ditch had the tranquility of that moment.
However, the brief silence was soon broken with the appearance of the Song soldiers who poured in at the entrances and exits.
They had come to receive the captives.
It's better to be a captive than to die! The golden soldiers obediently tied their hands to each other according to the "order" and rushed out of the exit.
The tower-like Niu Gao stood at the exit, his big mouth almost behind his ears, "Grandma's, it didn't cost a single soldier, and I took 10,000 prisoners first, this deal is worth it!" ”
When all the captives came out and the two thousand masked men came out, Niu Gao's face changed, "Are you injured?" ”
The wounded masked men bowed their heads and did not dare to look at him.
Niu Gao said with a dark face, "You go back to nourish your injuries first, and then I'll ask you again." After speaking, he took out a red flag from his arms and waved it in the air, and the people on the airship also used the red flag to shake it down a few times, and then slowly raised it and flew in the direction of Yangzhou City.
Looking at the black and oppressive enemy soldiers below, Tatar's head was dizzy for a while. The one standing at the forefront is clearly Xiao Tong's subordinates, needless to say, Xiao Tong has been wiped out.
When did Song Bing's combat power become so strong? Little did he know that he could think of no other way than to keep the soldiers defending the city from firing arrows into the air to stop those strange fusiforms from approaching.
"General, what are they doing?" The lieutenant who was standing beside him suddenly pointed down and shouted.
In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Tatar can also see it clearly, and the Song soldiers are building siege equipment.
A huge flatbed cart with wheels was pushed out, and then the soldiers, working in pairs, opened the hanging ladder that was folded together, fastened it with the hitch loops on it, and fastened it to the flatbed. Soon, a mobile tower cart taller than the city walls appeared, and two soldiers with strange crossbows and crossbows sat on it, and Tartar could even see their grinning expressions.
"Prepare bows and arrows, don't let them get close!" Tartar commanded.
However, he soon discovered that his orders were invalid.
The Song soldiers pushed the tower cart forward and stopped three or four hundred meters away from the city wall, then opened the bow and crossbow, and shot a few arrows at the city wall, this shot did not matter, Tatar was shocked to find that their bow and crossbow not only had a longer range, but also had a very large power, and the arrows actually pierced into the city wall made of mud and stone, the strength was not exhausted, and the tail was still trembling.
And at this distance, the bow and arrow in his hand can't shoot the other party at all!
Tartar knew that there was no need to fight this battle.
"Surrender?" Niu Gao's eyes widened, "How can that work?" I worked so hard to get the siege artifact right, how could I not fight? No way! They must be a deception, we can't be fooled, continue to fight! ”
"General, the Tartar commanders who are defending the city have come out, it shouldn't be a fraudulent surrender!" Zhang Tongling, the deputy general beside him, said with a wry smile, "There was also news from the Air Force just now that there are no ambushes in the city. ”
"Oh!" Niu Gao sighed, "What kind of strength is this battle, it's so boring!" ”
Zhang Tongling said in a low voice, "General, doesn't the emperor still have a secret order?" We can't afford to lose time. ”
Niu Gao patted his head, "Oops, why didn't you remind me earlier?" Fast! Town! ”
Tartar sadly found that no one paid attention to him! As if they hadn't seen them at all, the Song soldiers walked straight past them, as if there was something important in the city waiting for them to grab it.
"Your name is Tartar?" Finally, there was a Song soldier who was willing to take care of him, and Tatar nodded hurriedly and said, "Back to this general, I am!" ”
The soldier raised his hand and slapped him, "That's a lot of!" Keep up! ”
Tartar covered his hot cheeks and entered the city with Xiao Tong's troops.
In the city of Yangzhou, after a short period of calm, the people in the city poured out of the nest and ran along the street to tell each other that the Jin soldiers were defeated and the Song army entered the city!
Some people cried, some laughed, and Niu Gao's men and horses were soon surrounded by the people, and they couldn't move forward.
Looking at the chaotic crowd, they were ragged and unkempt, but everyone's eyes radiated a strange brilliance!
Niu Gao felt a burst of sourness on the tip of his nose, these are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty!
"General, what should I do? We can't walk anymore! Zhang Tongling was a little anxious.
"No hurry!" Niu Gao gritted his teeth and squirmed a few times in his throat, "Let them watch it for a while!" ”
All the soldiers had their heads held high and their faces solemn.
A thin old man trembled and stretched out his hand, touched the face of a soldier, and a few cloudy tears flowed from the faint old eyes, "This ...... Is this our soldier? ”
The soldier looked at him and nodded.
"Yes! It's our soldiers! The old man fell to his knees and began to cry.
Soon, the people fell to their knees and wept.
I don't know who shouted, "Golden dog!" The golden dog has entered the city, and the golden dog is fighting! The crowd suddenly fell silent, and the people kneeling on the ground stood up and looked, "There it is!" ”
Crowds poured towards the city gates.
"Kill them!"
The people flocked to the captives, and then countless fists and kicks were added.
"General, those prisoners are still useful, we can't let the people kill them!" Zhang Tongling looked back and said.
"It's so easy to be killed, what's the point of being alive? Let's go! Niu Gao snorted and led the people to continue walking in the direction of the mansion.
From the beginning of the attack to the destruction of Yangzhou City, it took less than three hours before and after, and none of Niu Gao's men and horses were injured except for hundreds of people, which was definitely a miracle.
The situation was a little calmer, and Niu Gao issued a series of notices in the name of the little emperor Zhao Tianci, saying that three heavenly towers would be built in the city to receive the aura of heaven and earth to protect the peace of the country and the people. So the people came to petition to repair the tower, of course, the repair of the tower is also paid, which is definitely a good thing for the people in the city who are still hungry and cold.
Building a tower requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Manpower is readily available, and the captives are the best laborers, and as for the materials needed to build the tower, most of them are wood and earth and stone, which can be taken on the spot. Therefore, the movement to build the tower was vigorously launched.
Niu Gao could finally breathe a sigh of relief, he called Zhang Tongling over and instructed, "Send a report to Lu Niangniang, and let them send someone to receive Yangzhou!" (To be continued.) )
