Chapter 572: Cannon Fodder

For Zhang Shuye's request, Li You readily agreed, after all, the Qi family's army stayed in this world for a limited time, and it would still rely on the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army to resist the Mongol invasion in the future, and now it was just a rare opportunity to exercise, the current forbidden army may be weaker than Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng Army in terms of personal martial arts and cooperative combat, but the advantages of the city wall are enough to make up for the gap between the two, and in this case, it is very suitable to use the Changsheng Army as the whetstone of the Great Song Forbidden Army.

And Zhang Shuye also needed to integrate Zhang Xun's defense strategy during the battle, so Li You responded without thinking, "So there is General Manager Zhang, I will wait for this battle to watch for the time being." After that, Li You beckoned the Qi family army to retreat for the time being, and he took off the heaven-shaking bow and searched for the generals of the Changsheng army in the crowd, if only he could shoot Guo Yaoshi.

"My lord." Pan Feng looked at Li You pitifully, he hadn't been to the battlefield for a long time, the big axe in his hand had long been hungry and thirsty, and now he couldn't go out of the city to meet the enemy, if he didn't even have his share in defending the city, he would be too depressed.

"You go and help Manager Zhang guard the city, and everything is subject to Manager Zhang's arrangement." On the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, the role of individual martial arts is limited after all, and the addition of Li You and Pan Feng will not affect the tempering of the Great Song Forbidden Army.

"You only need to fight for the country, and the court will definitely reward you for your merits after the war." Zhao Huan also stood up to boost morale, but this time he didn't directly move the cash box to the city, that day was a last resort, and now the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army has basically restored its trust in the imperial court, so there is no need for such trouble for the time being.

Moreover, this method is not a policy suitable for long-term implementation, firstly, it takes time to allocate money, and secondly, if the soldiers are allowed to develop a long-term habit, and when they turn to defend in the future, when they turn to attack and pursue the golden soldiers or fight in areas with difficult logistical supply, it is very likely that they will not be able to transport cash to the battlefield, and then the morale of the soldiers will definitely be seriously damaged, so it is better to wait for the credit to be verified after the war before issuing rewards.

Under the city, Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the two of them can now be said to be sympathetic to each other, they all know that with their own troops, there will definitely be no way to break through Bianliang City, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang's purpose is naturally to use their lives to test the strength of those legendary "heavenly soldiers" in the city, it is conceivable that the soldiers and horses they rely on for survival will definitely suffer huge losses, if the casualties are too heavy, it will be difficult for them to continue to maintain their status in the future.

But they have no other choice now, so even though they know that this is a slow way to die, they have to walk through it, because if they dare to refuse, they will seek death.

"Let those recruits caught in the south go first." Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong both made the same choice, just like Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang drove them to death, in the hearts of Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong, in fact, their subordinates are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, let these cannon fodder go to death first, if they can test the details of the "heavenly soldiers" before they die, it would be better.

"Archer, draw the bow!" Seeing thousands of scrawny, ragged soldiers, who didn't even have a piece of torn leather armor on their bodies, rushed to the city in a mess, Zhang Shuye didn't take out the divine arm bow, this kind of big killing weapon should wait until the elite of Guo Yaoshi's men are dispatched before using it, now it is enough to have ordinary bows and arrows.

Hundreds of archers immediately stepped forward, either occupying the gap in the battlements, or through the arrow holes, or perched high on the arrow tower, aiming their arrows at the cannon fodder under the city.

"Eight bull crossbows, look for enemy trebuchets! Is the hot oil ready to burn? There are pointed wooden donkeys in the Golden Soldiers. "Uncle Zhang kept issuing orders, the trebuchet was too far away from the city wall, and only the strength of the Eight Bull Crossbow was enough, of course, the artillery of the Qi family army could also destroy it, but he had already said that this battle would rely on the strength of the Great Song Forbidden Army, so Li You did not say anything to remind, and the best way to deal with the pointed wooden donkey was to pour hot oil and then ignite it to burn it, Zhang Shuye's response was extremely appropriate, listening to Li You nodding from time to time, Zhao Huan's face also flashed a hint of brilliance, he felt that Zhang Shuye's performance was very different from what he saw last time, Maybe he got a benefit from Guo Shenxian, well, he must reuse Manager Zhang in the future, but is it better to let him be in charge of martial arts or the Privy Council? Zhao Huan was in distress.

Before he could be distressed for long, the Great Song Forbidden Army launched an attack on Guo Yaoshi's Chang Sheng's army and Liu Yanzong's Liao army, and countless feather arrows were like raindrops shooting towards the cannon fodder under the city, and people kept wailing and falling to the ground, unable to get up again; In addition, Zhang Shuye was surrounded by a group of dragon archers with bows and arrows, although these people did not have much battlefield experience, but their daily training was still very strict, and after adapting to the atmosphere of the battlefield, their archery speed and hit rate were greatly improved.

"Aim at those generals who lead the troops, 'shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, capture the thief and capture the king first', killing them is more useful than killing ten small soldiers." According to Li You's narration, Zhang Shuye used these superb dragon bows and arrows as snipers.

The soldiers of the Imperial Dragon Bow and Arrow Straight had practiced martial arts all day before, but they had few places to use them, but now they could finally show their strengths, and Zhao Huan was watching them from a short distance, which made them more and more excited, and one by one they took out twelve points of ability and continued to shoot and kill enemy officers according to Zhang Shuye's instructions.

The Changsheng army and the Liao soldiers under the city were originally driven forward by the officers, but now the officers have gone to the end, and the cannon fodder who had no one to supervise began to slow down, and some of the slightly more daring ones kept looking back, and their attack speed was greatly slowed down.

It is not a good choice to slow down under the rain of arrows, and when things come to this point, there may be a way to survive only if you try your best to attack the city, and if you hesitate like this, you can only die faster; The guards of the Imperial Dragon Bow and Arrow needed to find officers, but the archers of the Great Song Forbidden Army did not, and countless feather arrows were shot towards the city, and the cannon fodder who was hesitating was shot in an instant.

Before these victorious troops and Liao soldiers could put the ladder on the city wall and push the pointed wooden donkey to the city gate, most of them were injured, and the rest quickly fled with their heads in their hands.

Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they knew that it was time to come up with the bottom of the pressure box, Guo Yaoshi pulled out his sword and pointed forward, "Dare to retreat and kill all the latter, the Chinese army will listen to my orders, and the whole army can attack and take Bianliang City with me."
