Chapter 51: The Battle of Tongguan (12)

Han Chang was proud in his heart, the arrows shot at the head of the city became more and more urgent, and the archers who were more accurate were more and more accurate, and the arrows shot slowly concentrated around Han Chang, although his strength was extraordinary, and an iron spear was wielded impenetrable, and the arrows that came from him kept falling to the ground, but he still felt more and more pressure.

I originally wanted to humiliate the other party again, but I never had it again. While parrying the rain of arrows, he retreated. Rao so, as he stepped back, there was an oversight, and at the same time several arrows broke through his defenses, one in his shoulder and one in the back of his breastplate.

The cold iron arrow pierced straight into his body, and he suddenly woke up, realizing how reckless he had just been. As long as Song Jun's reaction was a little faster, and the shooter's archery skills were a little better, he would have become a hedgehog full of arrows and died on the spot.

Not only him, but the generals of the Song army at the head of the city were also very angry, and those who were at the head of the city were all some yacha and firefighters, as well as a small number of box soldiers, if it was a serious soldier of the forbidden army at the head of the city, Han Chang would never have the life to go back.

Han Chang galloped all the way, forcing the speed of the war horse to the fastest, galloping, and the tea kung fu had escaped beyond the range of the Song army. When he returned to the Jurchen generals, his own soldiers saw that the main general was wounded, and they couldn't help but surround him, lightly unload his armor, and then cut off the arrows first, and then pulled out the arrows with fire tongs.

Although the arrow did not penetrate deeply through the heavy armor, when it was pulled out, it was still bleeding, and the military medical officer who was applying medicine to Han Chang was trembling in fright, but Han Chang was nothing, as if it was not him who was pulling out the arrow to heal his wounds, but someone else.

After the arrow was pulled out, the affected area was washed with water, and the dressing was completed, Han Chang let out a rough breath and said to Wan Yan: "Shicai can see clearly, it is indeed the Song Emperor on the head of the city, and it is not someone else who impersonates to shake the heart of our division." ”

He sighed again, and continued: "I don't expect Emperor Song to flee back from Shangjing. It turned out to be a different person, and this time he knew that our army was coming to raid, so he didn't flee, but refused to defend the city. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wan Yan had not yet spoken, and Wan Yan Huonu said first: "What is the purpose of General Han's words, to open his eyes for others?" What about the Emperor Chaogou, such a big city. With such a few people, even if we don't have siege equipment, can he hold it? In my opinion, he is not brave, but reckless. ”

Wanyan Sali was going to break his face with Han Chang, but at this time, the stupid Wanyan Huonu spoke out first, but he changed his color, and only smiled at Mimi and said: "No matter whether the emperor of the Song Dynasty is heroic and brave, or reckless, in short, it is best if he does not escape." Let's catch him alive. It is not in vain that the marshal of the capital arranged this time. ”

He changed his words and smiled again: "Besides, reckless and brave. I can distinguish it, too. General Han acted appropriately, if he failed, he would be reckless, and when he returned safely at this time, he knew the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so he was naturally one of our brave generals, haha. ”

This person spoke Pi Li Yangqiu, and he was clearly praising and depreciating, but in fact, he said that Han Chang was too reckless. If it is a weekday, Han Chang will be incompatible, at this moment. When he thought that Emperor Song was so heroic, although he couldn't see it clearly, when the Song army couldn't shoot him at the head of the city, and he was very proud, the Song Emperor at the head of the city was not flustered, and even sat down leisurely, watching himself burst left and right in the rain of arrows, and he actually regarded thousands of troops and horses as nothing, and he didn't look at it at all.

Such a bearing and a calm bearing. How can a few Jurchen barbarians understand the earth?

With a family of Han generals like Han Chang, although they are not barbarians, they are not simply Han men's hearts. Whoever is strong and who is brave, he recognizes him as Lord. It was because the Liao State was strong, and the Han family was mainly based on the Liao State and the Song Dynasty as the enemy, and the Jin State destroyed the Liao, and the Han family resolutely invested in the Jin Dynasty and became the vanguard of the Jin State to attack the Song Dynasty.

At this moment, the demeanor shown by the emperor of the Song Dynasty was completely not under the nobles of the Jin and Liao countries that he knew, which made this brave general who was a Han and the champion of bravery for the first time have a dazed mind. Others only knew that they were jealous of him after this incident, and he would definitely be famous all over the world again, but they didn't know that this person's mood was up and down, extremely complicated, originally tried his best to be loyal to the Jurchens, regarded the Song people as cheap pigs and dogs, and the emperor's incompetent and cowardly mind was really challenged for the first time.

The Jurchen generals did not realize his complicated mood at this time, but just looked at this Han military general with envious eyes who was wounded by arrows but had nothing to do.

Everyone asked themselves, when they attacked the Liao State with Taizu Wanyan Agu, everyone didn't know if their heads would grow tomorrow, and they didn't want to die when they started a war.

can break through Liao with 20,000 soldiers and one million, that is, he has the spirit of the Han general in front of him.

And at this moment, fame and fortune are there, women have money, and status is there, if you want to be like this person and don't want your life anymore, you can't do it anyway.

What you have is what you lose, which is naturally the envy of everyone. After a long time, Wan Yan Sa didn't know what to think, sighed, and said to everyone: "There is no need to mention the right thing, but everyone is discussing, the Song Emperor is at the head of the city, and the morale of the Song army has risen greatly. ”

Before he finished speaking, he only heard the sound of a mechanical grinding in the city, and everyone had not yet noticed the difference, Han Chang's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Quickly retreat, the enemy is going to use a bed crossbow!" ”

He was originally a Liao general, and he knew more about the Song army's most powerful long-range weapon than the generals of the Jin State. The Jin State destroyed the Song Dynasty, and never encountered really strong resistance, and Tokyo, which had the most bed crossbows, was the weakest resistance, and was taken down by the Jin people effortlessly.

Han Chang's actions also made these thousands of households in the Jin Kingdom who had not seen the power of the Song army's long-range powerful weapons even less take the powerful bows and crossbows of the Song Dynasty to heart.

Although Han Chang's face changed drastically and he quickly retreated, others were still unhurried, and he pointed at Han Chang, whose face had changed color, clapped his hands and smiled: "General Han is still the champion of the three armies, why is he like this now." ”

Han Chang's face changed, he dared to rush forward, one was the blood surging for a while, and the other was that the enemy's bed crossbow needed to be adjusted, and he must not be in a hurry to react in a hurry, when he heard the sound, he was obviously ready to stop and shoot at any time, even if the armor and stomach on his body were doubled, he would definitely be shot through.

I was going to scold, but I only heard a loud thunderbolt on the head of the city, and then there was a huge earthquake, and countless huge arrows that were longer than the tip of the spear broke through the air and flew quickly around everyone.

Around them, some of the original pro-soldiers rushed over to guard, and they couldn't dodge for a while, and were pierced by a crossbow arrow, piercing a pro-soldier and throwing it into the sky, and then reborn and fell to the ground.

Shicai Saba also said that Han Chang made a big fuss and took the opportunity to suppress it, but at this time, he was also distracted, quickly hitting the horse, twisting back and forth, dodging the bed crossbow arrows from the city. It's just that the opponent's bed crossbow is three big bows stacked on top of each other, although it is too large to work well, and it takes time to adjust the range, but at this time everything is ready to stop, although these Jurchens are desperately dodging, the arrows are non-stop, and they have been shrouding the other party in the range, although the shooting accuracy is not high, except for the unlucky ghost at the beginning, no one else has been hit by the arrow, but it makes these Jurchens frightened, and they have been waiting to run a mile away, and then they are completely relieved.

"It's done, this will also destroy their prestige, and there is no need to shoot anymore."

Kang Chengxun was the highest-ranking military attache at the head of the city at this time, and when he saw that Zhao Huan was silent, he stepped forward to stop the random shooting of the shooters and ordered it to stop.

Han Chang's actions deeply pierced the hearts of all the Song generals in the city. If it weren't for the emperor's presence, the safety of the city was of paramount importance, and there must have been many Song generals who would rather die on the spot than be so humiliated.

And the soldiers of the Xiang Army, who were raining down arrows but could never spare the lives of the other party, were even more ashamed, and the bows and arrows in their hands hung low, as if they were as heavy as a thousand evens, and they were no longer able to pick them up.

Zhao Huan looked at it coldly, the Jin soldiers on the opposite side had been frightened by the shooting of the bed crossbow, and it was obviously impossible to attack again for a while, he put his mind at ease, his hands were full of cold sweat, and finally left the armrest of the seat.

Looking at the expressions of everyone in front of him, he knew that he was depressed because of Han Chang's matter, and his heart moved, and he suddenly laughed.

If he behaves like this, if he changes to the Three Kingdoms, someone will definitely come forward and ask: "Why is the lord laughing?" It's a pity that he is not Cao Mengde, and the people in front of him are not Jiang Gan, seeing him laughing, everyone looks at each other, but for some reason.

But he heard Zhao Huan laugh, and finally spoke: "The enemy has tens of thousands of elite horsemen, ten times more than my Chang'an guards, and they are coming violently, trying to break the city in a battle, and in addition to Han Chang's bloody bravery, they are scared with a bed crossbow, and they dare not attack again, I thought about it and thought, this is the invincible male division of the Jurchens?" This is the Jinguo Iron Rider who dominates the world, it's really ridiculous, it's really funny! ”

When the emperor said this, he taught the people in the city to wait for him, and his spirits were lifted.

Everyone thought about it for a while, but it was indeed as he said, the enemy was coming violently, without a fight, and the bed crossbow sounded a few times, and then the whole division retreated, and the courage of the Jurchens was reflected in this?

Seeing the relieved look on everyone's faces, Zhao Huan smiled slightly, and said: "The generals and soldiers of the Xiang Army are not afraid of the strong enemy, they are very relieved, they will pass the decree, reward the cattle wine, and reward the three armies!" ”

He not only did not reproach the mistakes of the soldiers of the appropriate army, but never mentioned them, and rewarded them, which made the Xiang army and the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers, who were already ashamed, feel more self-reproachful in their hearts, and at the same time, they also respected the emperor to the extreme.

——————————————————————

I saw someone say that it was impossible to shoot the arrow rain, so I said a few words.

In fact, I explained that Han Chang was nearly two hundred steps apart, which was about the limit of the range of ancient bows and arrows, and riding alone required accurate archery skills. And the soldiers at the head of the city, most of them are untrained miscellaneous soldiers, although there are many people, but the other party is far away, and they move left and right, how many shots can be within range, and how many are powerful?

There are many examples of this kind that can be seen in those who study the history of supercooled weapon warfare. Moreover, Song Jinshi's arrows could not penetrate the heavy armor at all, and the damage was very small. When Yang Zaixing died in battle, the arrows dug out of his body weighed several pounds, which showed that this person was brave and able to fight, and secondly, what did it mean? It's a matter of penetration, of course, ordinary creeps won't have such a good armor. Moreover, the bows and crossbows of the Song Dynasty were better than those of the Jin soldiers.

If you have any comments, please let them go, and I will take the time to reply.
