Chapter 396: The Power of One Arrow
Of course, Yan Hong also knows that the power of martial arts in the rivers and lakes is far less exaggerated than in Jin Gu's novels in this world. Shao Jing is known as the best of a thousand swords, also known as invincible martial arts, if he encounters thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, and rushes to kill in formation, it can be said that there is not much difference from ordinary people, and at most there is a greater hope of saving his life.
But if there are so many masters guarding each other when the two armies are facing each other, then the safety factor of their own family can be said to be greatly improved. At the same time, take this opportunity to get close to Xia Xia and Zhang's second daughter, which is also an incidental addition, isn't it happy?
Therefore, Yan Qin made some arrangements to dismantle all the people of the Loyalty and Righteousness League and entrust them with important tasks, such as the Golden Retriever Lion King and others, all of whom were sent to protect several important generals to avoid assassination, or to protect the granary water well to avoid poisoning. Shao Meng's martial arts are outstanding, but Yan Hong didn't send him a job directly, and asked him to sit in the yamen and answer the Quartet. And the Ziqing Shuangxia, since Zhang Qingyan took the initiative to ask for help, of course, it was as Qincha's personal guard.
The Zeng brothers are the most bitter. Yan Hong still remembers the hatred of these two guys when they arrested him. Although he was tied up that time, strictly speaking, he did not suffer, and the leader was not the Zeng brothers, but the purple and green heroes. But in Yan Hong's opinion, these two delicate little ladies are nothing to be bound by them, you two big men who pick their feet, dare to participate, and they are so rude to me!
Therefore, he secretly smiled to himself, and appointed these two big men as the four gate city patrol officers, and arranged for them to guard the four gates to prevent the White Lotus Sect from sneaking up on the city to join forces. This sounds like an important position, and the Zeng brothers were originally disciples of the generals, and they were very happy. But at the end of the first day, they realized that something was wrong. There were only two of them. It is necessary to patrol the four city gates of Jinan. I had to hurry to the east city and run to the north city. The west city ran the south city, busy with all four feet facing the sky, and there was no peace for a moment.
At this time, when Tatsumi intersected in the morning, I saw the flags waving in the camp of the White Lotus Sect in the north of the city, and the crowd dragged out, gathering at the place of about two arrows under the city, and barely lined up. Don't look at these people, there are a lot of them. There were tens of thousands of people in the black, so the officers and soldiers on the city looked at them with solemn faces, and they didn't care about laughing at them.
I saw that in the team of the White Lotus Sect, Da Da Da ran out of a white horse first, and the person on the horse arrived at the city, raised his head and arched his hands, and said in a loud voice: "Is Yan Qin poor in the city?" In the next is the current King of Lu, Marshal Qingyang led the Shandong Festival to make Su Bao! My brother is Xiao Ming, the king of the world, and all the military Su Gui! I asked Yan Qin to talk. He thought he had practiced kung fu, and he was full of energy. I heard it very clearly.
Yan Hong really didn't understand what the other party's list of official titles represented, and probably knew that Lu Dao was the leader of the rebels. He didn't stand up either. Directly raised his secret weapon, the tweeter, to his lips and shouted: "Listen to the thieves outside, you are not qualified to talk to this official." Get off the horse and wait for the officer to punish you according to the law!" If you have a good attitude, the official will spare you, not sentence Ling Chi, and give you a happy beheading! ”
He knew the situation at the moment, and he said that the enemy was still strong and I was weak, and if he was discouraged again, it would inevitably be frustrated by the army. As for negotiations or something, what is there to talk about between the court and the anti-thieves? Therefore, he simply came to a high posture, reprimanded him, and also told the officers and soldiers to grow their ambitions. Sure enough, this sentence was thrown out, and the faces of the officers and soldiers on the left and right were excited, and they peeked at the purple and green shuangxia, and the corners of their mouths were slightly smiling.
Su Bao didn't expect to meet such an unreasonable master, and he didn't even talk about it. He couldn't help but be angry for a while, and after a pause, he suppressed his anger and said: "Qincha, now outside the city, I have 400,000 White Lotus soldiers and horses, and 30,000 Mongolian iron horses, and Jinan has become a Jedi." There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in your city, and if you want to resist stubbornly, isn't that self-destruction and harm to the people of a city? Besides, now that the red sun is exhausted, in a few years, there will be steel winds, iron thunder, and black rain, and it will rain for 7749 days, and people in the world will die nine out of ten. Only by believing in a childless mother can you be blessed. I said, you better open the city and submit to it as soon as possible. My family commander and Mongolian hero, I promise to spare you from death. I am in charge here, as long as you are obedient, I will give you the post of general, and he will return to his hometown one day. If you are obsessed, when the city is broken, there will be no one left! "Anyway, now that the official title of the White Lotus Sect is seriously devalued, Su Bao, as the king of Lu, feeds the horses by himself and his entourage are all generals, and those who can write are all prime ministers, so he can call the shots with this official title.
When Yan Hong heard this, he said in his heart: How can this cult be said in the same way throughout the ages, and it is all doomsday? He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which one will take this kid for me?" ”
Without waiting for others to speak, Xia Zisu's lips opened lightly: "I'll come!" The figure moved slightly, and the person had already jumped out two steps, reaching out to take off the iron tire bow that He Bingzhong was carrying. He Bingzhong is also strong in martial arts, and he subconsciously dodged with compassion, but unexpectedly, Xia Zisu moved very fast, he only felt that the fragrance was slight, and the bow had fallen into Xia Zisu's hands.
Just as he was in the moment, Xia Zisu took out another carved feather from his beast pot, recognized the buckle and filled the string, and with a slight force on his arms, he rounded the hard bow.
He Bingzhong's strength is extraordinary, and the bow he uses can't be pulled away even if the idle soldiers use their strength to eat. Now look at this delicate beauty, she can actually pull her hard bow, and her expression is relaxed, and she can't help but be stunned.
In his surprise, Xia Zisu said "yes", the bowstring sounded, and the arrow walked like a meteor. Su Bao Wanhun didn't expect a cold arrow to come. Although he also has some martial arts, this arrow shoots from above, and the speed is very fast. But seeing a little cold light flashing, before he could dodge, an arrow entered his mouth, his throat penetrated early, and blood spurted out of his mouth and nose. Su Bao's half-scream didn't allow him to let out his mouth, and he had already rolled into the saddle and fell off the horse.
Yan Hong saw that Xia Zisu was so powerful, and immediately shouted: "Okay!" And he commanded the drums to be beaten to the right and to the right to make a strong sound. Yun Chuqi, the head of the Minzhuang Sect standing behind him, also waved his hand. It turned out that Yun Chu had distributed more than 10,000 people's strong troops in the city, of which four battalions stretched the line to stand on the four city walls, and the remaining eleven battalions were concentrated near the four gates of the city tower. Now he ordered the first order, and the people of the North Gate Tower shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" Exterminate the White Lotus Demon Man! As soon as the north gate shouted, the people who stood along the city tower station also shouted one after another like a fuse. Not long after, the four gates and four walls of the entire Jinan City resounded with the slogan of shaking the sky, and the people in the city heard it and shouted together, converging into a wave of sound and rushing straight into the sky, and the end was earth-shattering.
Xia Zisu looked as usual, handed the bow back to He Bingzhong and said, "Thank you for the general's bow." He Bingzhong easily closed his wide open mouth. It's not that he hasn't seen a woman with a skilled bow horse, but she has this ability, but she has only seen it in her life, and she looks so delicate. At that moment, he took the bow and said vigorously: "Don't dare, don't dare, the woman's martial arts are amazing, and the last general will admire it." ”
When the White Lotus Sect members under the city saw that their envoy had been shot to death, they were in a state of confusion. They also knew that there was no hope of persuasion, so they shouted in unison and moved forward amid the chaotic drums. The four gates attacked together, and they were also divided into primary and secondary, Yan Hong's side was listed as the hardest hit area because of the honor guard of the Qin mission and the enmity with Su Gui for killing his brother. Four of the ten stoppers were parked at Yan Hong's place, and there were really many knives and sticks, and the sound of killing was like a tide.
However, even a layman like Yan Hong could see that the other party did not have a tight formation, no effective command, and was completely charging like a swarm. At the forefront were more than a thousand "divine soldiers", mixed with other White Lotus hardcore believers, as well as the people who were coerced and lured. Some of them are standard weapons, and some are wooden sticks and hoes.
More than 500 men armed with bows and arrows shot from the ranks towards the city. It's just that most of these people don't have much actual combat experience, and they just hit the head of the city as soon as they enter the flat shooting distance, and as a result, the feather arrows fall under the battlements one after another. Some of the people who looked like leaders were hoarse in the middle of the line, encouraging the believers to rush forward.
Beside Yan Hong, Zhang Qingyan smiled coldly: "Such a thief, such a formation, also wants to attack the city?" When Yan Hong heard this beautiful woman say this, he also let go of his heart a little.
"Put!" Seeing that the White Lotus Sect was approaching, He Bingzhong gave an order, and the three Weiyuan cannons in the city lit the fire rope. With three loud bangs, the projectile erupted. This kind of artillery can be loaded with 100 small lead pieces weighing 6 yuan, and the theoretical firing range is 4 to 5 miles (the actual firing range supports half of it), plus the above shots, the firepower should not be underestimated.
In order to strengthen each other's courage, the White Lotus Sect members huddled together, and this round of bombardment was suddenly put down, and the cries and screams resounded through the city. It's just that there are hardcore believers of the White Lotus Sect behind him who are holding a bright big sword to supervise the battle, and those who retreat are immediately beheaded, so they can only rush forward. The divine soldiers at the front of the team were not affected by the artillery fire, and when they heard the screams behind them, they not only did not retreat at all, but shouted in unison and rushed towards the base of the city wall.
The Mongolian commander Bala immediately watched from the rear, and when he saw the White Lotus Sect army rushing forward like ants, he couldn't help but sneer: "These stupid Han people don't know how to fight at all. How many such people can only be counted as sheep. ”
China nodded and said, "Yes, my good answer." This group of waste, in addition to wasting food, can only be used to consume the gunpowder and bows and arrows of the Ming people. In any case, after all, there were tens of thousands of them, and according to the official surnamed Chang, the reserves in Jinan City were not sufficient. Consume this a few times, and when they run out of bullets, it's time for us to play. ”
Since ancient times, attacking and defending the city, the secret tricks are endless, but when it comes to the most basic means, it is still the most primitive and crude method of climbing. Jinan's weakness lies in the small number of soldiers in the city, thousands of men and horses guarding the four gates, plus the need to prepare a reserve to replace, the actual combatant is not too many. Once the White Lotus Sect ascended to the top of the city and fell into a white-bladed fight, the White Lotus Sect could take advantage of their numerical advantage and occupy the city tower, thus turning the entire Jinan City into a sea of blood.
