Chapter 401: All or Nothing
This general couldn't believe it until he died, in fact, not only him, but everyone in his army was also stunned, including Julia!
This is not only Wei Feng's miraculous head, but also the distance, the effective range of the general crossbow arrow is no more than one hundred and fifty steps, but this is two hundred steps, two hundred steps away can kill the enemy, what does it mean?
"The general is good at archery!" The soldiers in Wei Feng's army came back to their senses, and immediately thundered with joy, Wei Feng waved his hand and signaled to the side: "Let them see the power of the ballista!" ”
"Yes!"
Twenty-five stone ballistae were loaded with one hundred and twenty pounds of stone ballistas, and four people each struggled to twist the handles, because Wei Feng's purpose was only to demonstrate, so they were not wrenched to the end.
The herald waved his small flag: "Release!" ”
"Buzz~~" Twenty-five stone bullets flew into the air, and they landed in front of the opponent's formation, and after a loud rumbling noise and rubble, they punched a row of small craters on the ground, and two of them hit the vehicle, and actually pierced the car!
"Plop, plop!" Among the reinforcements, dozens of people fell to the ground on the spot, not for injuries, but for scare, this thing fell on the body, and there were no bones left!
Wei Feng swept his eyes sharply and shouted: "If you don't descend at this time, when will you stay?" Are you willing to bury the thief? Throw away your weapons and get down on your knees! ”
"General, I am willing to surrender!" A big man on the opposite side hurriedly threw away his bow and arrows and knelt on the ground, and someone took the lead, and suddenly, the sound of the gong was endless, and there were 20,000 soldiers. Knelt down in turn from front to back, but not everyone was willing to surrender, about a thousand people spread their legs and ran backwards, so Wei Feng waved his hand.
Two thousand cavalry pursued from the left and right, and the foot soldiers also picked up their swords and guns, rushed forward and reorganized the prisoners, and another 3,000 cavalry were in charge of guarding.
Julia was stunned again, could this be the war of the Seris? Only one person was shot to death, and all of them surrendered? Isn't that a joke? In the centuries-old history of Roman warfare, there has never been such a comical scene!
Julia couldn't help but look at the spear in her hand. There is also a war horse under the crotch. There was a hint of confusion in Mei's eyes.
Wei Feng said lightly: "Lady Julia, you don't understand our war thoughts, soldiers, and murder weapons. Do not move lightly. A soldier who surrenders without a fight. If it is the best policy, why should they be my enemies, and if the promises I have made to them improve their situation? ”
'Wait! Julia pondered the meaning of Wei Feng's words. Suddenly, Jin Mei frowned, she realized that in addition to Wei Feng's arrow, there were also those stone bullets that played an important role, and she couldn't help but look at the ballista, this time, she looked at it more and more familiarly, and finally couldn't help asking: "Envoy, how are the ballistae in your army so similar to our Roman ballistas?" Did you consult the Roman craftsmen? O my God, who has taught you even the ballista? ”
Wei Feng immediately said solemnly: "Lady Julia, this is my intellectual property, and I don't have a dinar relationship with you Rome, please don't be suspicious!" ”
Can Julia not be suspicious? Wei Feng knows so much about Greek civilization and Roman civilization, combined with the ballista in front of him, is it not taught by Roman craftsmen privately, is it Catholicism?
Julia's turquoise eyes flashed with incomprehensible light, thought about it, and said: "Your ballista imitates the structure of the Roman ballista, and the shape is also lighter, but there are still problems, such as adjusting the structure of the torsion spring group and the size of the crossbow body, which can be more accurate, and the stone projectile can be fired farther, which involves the calculation of the quadratic root or even the cubic root, if you are willing to tell Julia the truth, Julia can try to help you design the best structural diagram!" ”
As she was talking, Julia seemed to think of something, and said, "Envoy, have you heard of the quadratic root and the cubic root?" ”
Wei Feng suddenly called out Hongjun Ancestor in his heart, but on the surface, he said seriously: "Lady Julia, you really misunderstood, it is precisely because I don't understand your Roman technology that there are the defects you pointed out, in fact, you don't have to be surprised, human civilization has developed to a certain level, there are always commonalities, you say?" As for the square root you mentioned, I understand that you need to open the square and open the square, right? I just didn't do it correctly, but I'd love to talk to you about it, especially Rome's achievements in mathematics, and you and I can join forces to push the ballista to the pinnacle of perfection! ”
Julia looked at Wei Feng for a while, and made sure that what this person said was from the bottom of her heart, so she nodded and said: "Improving the ballista Julia can't do it alone, you have to wait for the uncle to come back, the uncle's first mate is good at square root calculation, as long as you pay enough price, he will definitely serve you, but Julia has to advise you, going back and forth between Panyu and Rome is risking your own life, so you had better pray to God for him, praying that he can come to Panyu again in peace." ”
Wei Feng was speechless for a while, isn't this a trick? looked at Julia in amazement, and Julia seemed to be very happy with Wei Feng's spear, and a rare playful smile appeared on her face.
On the entire battlefield, Wei Feng was not the only one who was dumbfounded, everyone in Lijiashan City was dumbfounded, they didn't understand, how could the 20,000 reinforcements say that they would surrender? Behind the two city gates in the southeast have each ambushed 5,000 elite soldiers, ready to go out of the city at any time to outflank them!
"Father, what's going on? How can this be? Li Kai looked like a master of six gods, and shouted urgently.
Reinforcements to the enemy, strengthening the enemy's strength is still secondary, 20,000 plus 20,000 is only 40,000, with 20,000 people to hold the fortified city, not to mention that there is Ding Zhuang in the city who can be used at any time, even if Wei Feng has an army of 100,000, it is impossible to break it easily, the key is that the reinforcements surrendered inexplicably, which brought extraordinary psychological pressure to the defenders.
Li Xun's face was extremely ugly, and he said angrily: "How can you be clear about your father? This damn thing, it's all a bunch of waste, the surnamed Wei is definitely coming, let's take a look first, let's say, order, everyone in the fort is not allowed to talk in private, violators, behead! ”
Li Xun did not guess wrong, Wei Feng first gave an order to Chen Xi, sent a thousand horsemen to block the north gate, led two thousand horsemen back to the camp, and then sneaked to the west gate thirty miles, and the remaining two thousand horsemen came to converge, after everything was arranged, Wei Feng personally led five thousand horsemen to gallop towards the mountain city.
Although the soldiers in the city all looked like they were facing a great enemy, Wei Feng could clearly feel that an uneasy aura was spreading, especially in the eyes of Li Zhu's father and son looking at him, mixed with hatred, surprise, fear and many other miscellaneous emotions.
Stopped at a distance of 300 steps, Wei Feng did not shout to the city, but waved his hand again, and immediately a dozen or so guards with loud voices took out their horns and shouted in unison: "Everyone in the city, listen, the general will remove you and other slaves, and implement a new tax and service policy throughout Guangzhou."
The guards shouted to the city head over and over again, which was what Wei Feng said to the reinforcements before, although Li Xun strictly ordered not to discuss, however, if he didn't speak, he could make eye contact, and the eyes of the ordinary soldiers became more and more worrying.
Although in early spring, the air in Lingnan was already full of harmony and ambiguity, but Li Xun only felt cold hands and feet, and he finally understood the reason why the 20,000 reinforcements surrendered without a fight.
Li Xun's expression was a little sluggish, and the fate of the Yi three clans no longer seemed to be far away, but Li Lin gritted his teeth, turned his head and said: "Father, the more you delay, the worse it is, it's better for your son to lead the army out of the city and fight with him!" ”
Li Xun struggled for a moment, and then shook his head dejectedly: "Going out of the city to fight, what do you think is the chance of winning?" It's more likely that the soldiers have defected to the past before the battle, and there are those bitches as a lesson from the past, don't think it won't. ”
The Li clan people showed a look of despair, and Li Lin also knew that this was an inevitable end, could they stay in the city and wait for death?
He is very unwilling, when people are forced, he can always force out some potential, Li Lin is poisonous plan came to his heart, and hurriedly proposed: "Father, there is a way to break the net, you immediately make your cronies detain the soldiers' families, but if anyone surrenders to the enemy, punish the whole clan, and at the same time, you take out a lot of money, and say that once you break the enemy, you will reward it all!" ”
"Huh?" Li Xun's eyes suddenly lit up, he was not afraid of Wei Feng attacking the city, what he was afraid of was that the defenders should cooperate with the outside and the second son, and the proposal of the second son was a plan to survive in death.
Li Kai also seemed to think of something, and said: "Father, the second brother is reasonable, but we must be prepared with both hands, we should clean up in advance, if the son is saying if, if the mountain city is unfortunately broken, it is better to escape in time!" ”
"Herald" Li Xun nodded and gave a series of orders!
Not long after, the fort has been full of complaints, groups of women and children were driven to the top of the mountain, but the sergeants are afraid to be angry and dare not speak, this is no way, after hundreds of years of development, the Li family has formed a huge clan, the Li family and the collateral line add up to more than 4,000 people, and then count the interests of the Li family tied to the interests of all levels of stewards and generals, the total number of about 10,000 people, although the number of tenants and ordinary soldiers accounted for nearly ninety percent, but they lack organization, no one to lead, empty more than 100,000 people can only be a plate of scattered sand.
Since Lijiashan City was built on the mountain, and the movement in the city could be clearly seen under the city, Julia was stunned and said, "Envoy, what are they doing?" It seems that it is all women and children, how can they all go to the top of the mountain? There were also escorts around. ”
"Humph!" Miss Chen snorted angrily, and then said: "Julia, I don't know if you have such a dirty thing in Rome, Li Xun is worried that his soldiers will surrender without a fight, so he takes the families of the soldiers in the fort as hostages and coerces the defenders to fight to the death, this old man is crazy!" ”
Wei Feng smiled indifferently: "The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention that Li Xun wants a city and a city, a person, and food, how can he be willing to be captured?" It seems that we can't wait for someone to open the city for us today, so let's settle the soldiers first, and it doesn't hurt to come back in two days. As he spoke, he waved his hand violently: "Retreat!" ”
"Woo woo~~" The horn of retreat sounded, and the five thousand elite horsemen slowly retreated. (To be continued......)
