Chapter 409: Situation
"Kill!" Zhang Yu's left arm was wrapped in an arrow wound, and there was an angry look in his eyes, this dog officer and soldier, he was surrounded by villagers armed with messy swords, hoes and even wooden sticks, thousands of people carried simple ladders made of bamboo, and rushed to the bottom of the city wall with only the blood and qi that were not afraid of death. The head of the city and the upper echelons of the army shouted loudly: "Let go of the arrows!" The whizzing rain of arrows fell from in front of him, and when some people saw blood, other crop men who had not seen blood hugged their heads and said: "Oh, my mother!" Zhang Yu rushed forward a few more steps, a sharp arrow grazed the end of his nose, and then passed through the crotch of his pants, and pierced deep into the soil, so frightened that he was so excited that his eggs were almost gone, and then he was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, turned around, and fled after his subordinates. The officers and men at the head of the city cheered, and the officers laughed. Don't be afraid of the chaotic people.
Le Yangfu wrung his brows and looked at the inferior attack and defense of the rebels and officers and soldiers under the city wall, and urged quite embarrassedly: "Hurry up!" The soldiers of the Jincheng battalion were still hurriedly assembling the bed crossbow, they only brought the core components from Hexi, and the others were made in Shudi, because it was inconvenient to carry them during the march, so they were disassembled and transported separately, and then reassembled when they arrived in the city. It's just that Wang An ignored the advice of Le Yang Fu and other ordnance to attack the city again, and insisted on sending villagers to make trouble first. In his words: "When you don't set up a scene under the city, it not only chills people's hearts, but also makes the leaders below scatter ducks themselves." ”
"Alright!" exclaimed Centurion Tu Guan happily, a complete bed crossbow had been moved to the body, and then the second and third bed crossbows were also installed. "Then what are you waiting for!" Le Yang Fu shouted anxiously.
Tu Guan glanced at him quite dissatisfied, Captain Leyang was just casual, but not as calm as Cai Shun, the king of Xiaoshu. Since the sergeant of the Jincheng Battalion knew Cai Shun's true identity, he became more and more convinced of him, especially since this group of people had been away from Shuzhong for several years and had stayed in the Xia Kingdom system for a long time, but they felt a little out of place with the original leader of the Erlang Divine Sect. Therefore, he regarded himself as the confidant of the king of Shu and firmly held himself together.
"Follow me. Cai Shun has changed into the infantry centurion armor that is often worn in the Xia Army, cats on his waist, and pushed the bed crossbow towards the city gate with more than a dozen sergeants, Pengshan County should also have a bed crossbow, but it can't be used a few times a year, unlike the sergeants in the Jincheng camp, manipulating the bed crossbow is as skilled as making chopsticks.
The first bed crossbow was quickly pushed to the preset position, and Cai Shun personally aimed at the city gate and moved the trigger. With a loud bowstring sound, the thick crossbow bolts with the snap of ropes struck firmly into the hardwood gate. "Okay!" The surrounding Jincheng battalion sergeants cheered loudly, and the movements on their side were noticed by the Xiang army and the righteous army above and below the city, and the Xiang army was a little hurried, they really didn't understand why there was a sharp weapon such as a bed crossbow in the middle of this group of mud legs, and the first arrow hit the city gate, and what was even more terrifying was that they didn't know how to deal with this situation next. The rebels cheered loudly among them, and the squad led by the sergeant of the Jincheng battalion who had been separated cheered even louder.
"Release!" "Release!" "Release!" With the command like a cannon, seventeen or eighteen thick bed crossbow arrows were nailed to the city gate, and the soldiers of the Jincheng Battalion in the distance hurriedly put the ropes attached to the bed crossbows on the dozens of ploughing cattle that had caught up.
"Listen to my orders!" Cai Shun shouted loudly, "One, two, three, pull—"
"Drive!" The sergeants whipped the ploughing cattle violently at the same time, dozens of strong cattle were in pain, desperately pulling the ropes, all the cables were stretched straight, from the first bed crossbow to this moment, it was just a short time of dozens of breaths, but Cai Shun's forehead was already slightly sweating, fortunately the city was defending the city with no combat experience, otherwise, they only needed to send the dead soldiers down the city to cut the ropes first.
Although the latch of the gate of Pengshan County is made of rough wood, the force of dozens of ploughing cattle pulling out at the same time is tens of thousands of catties, only to see that the city gate is almost about to be pulled down, very reluctantly slightly opened a gap, suddenly crackled a few explosions, the iron ring behind the city gate that fastened the latch was actually pulled out, and then made an ugly creaking sound, and the two city gates were opened more than five feet wide.
"Jincheng camp, kill!" Cai Shun drew his horizontal knife, stood up first and signaled to the rebels behind, Wang An was stunned, just now he inexplicably carried the ladder and rushed towards the city wall for a long time, killing and injuring countless brothers, I didn't expect it to be so easy to open the city gate. "Kill!" At this moment, seeing the city gate open, where can the rebels hold it. Without waiting for the order of the lord, a brave leader like Tu Guan had already rushed forward with his men.
Cai Shun and other soldiers of the Jincheng battalion also put away the bed crossbow and followed the other rebels to rush to the county seat, they did not fight and kill like ordinary rebels, but partially occupied the city tower, tore down the banner of the Song people, and replaced it with the banner of Dashu, and some guided the rebels to occupy the county government and capture the county commander Qi Yuanzhen. The rebels outside saw the flag of their homeland floating on the city tower, and their hearts were greatly boosted, and they cheered loudly with the slogan of "Dashu Xing, both rich and poor", and poured into the city like a tide.
The Song people in Shu for more than ten years, at this time it has become a situation of dry firewood everywhere, coupled with the Erlang Divine Sect in Shu in the hundreds of thousands, all over the place, and there is a call to support the king of Xiaoshu, there are dozens of villagers around the country to respond, almost within ten days, it has become a prairie fire, the righteous army is under the banner of supporting the king of Shu and expelling the Song people, only gathered around Wang An There are tens of thousands of people, there are more and more chaotic people around the place, and in the military intelligence department, Under the coordination of the Chengying Battalion and the Jincheng Battalion, there was gradually a movement to besiege Chengdu Mansion and close the Jianmen Pass.
Shu suddenly underwent great changes, the local government and garrison were defeated and retreated, Zhao Jiong had to order Yin Yuan to be the envoy of Xichuan Zhaoan, the head of the inner servant, and the eunuch Wang Jien was the supervisor of the army, Lei Youzhong and Pei Zhuang were the transfer envoys of the army with the army on the gorge road, and they knew the soldiers and horses, and led the forbidden army that was originally stationed in the hinterland of Chang'an and Guanzhong, and entered Shu to quell the chaos nearby. "Don't!" Song Emperor Zhao Jiong woke up from the nightmare again, in order to sleep peacefully, the official family strictly forbade the eunuch and the palace maid to approach when he went to bed, even after waking up, he would also be held accountable if he did not summon the former. Right now, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who is rich in the world, can only sit alone on the dragon bed, cold sweat trickling down his back.
In the dream, suddenly more than 100,000 Khitan cavalry shouted "Kill Zhao Jiong!" rushed into Bianliang, burned and plundered everywhere, the Zhao clan, all of them were tied to the horses by the northern captives, all the way to Shangjing to offer prisoners, and even more, the princess and princess were humiliated by the Khitan barbarian soldiers on the road, and even those who died of miscarriage on the way. When he arrived in Shangjing, the absurd and shameless Empress Xiao made the royal women of the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan slaves have public relations, and several female dependents were killed, and the corpses were listed outside the big tent, and he and the third prince Zhao Dechang were imprisoned in a prison city on the grassland, washing their faces with tears every day, and enduring the years.
