Chapter 276: Tamna Kingdom (Part II)
"General, how should this battle be fought?" General Yang Xuxiu asked in a low voice.
Lin Rui was really embarrassed, although he could finally take Tamna City by storming, but the soldiers would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, which was inconsistent with his original plan, but he promised that the casualties would not exceed a hundred.
At this time, Xu Qing walked out of the team and said with a smile: "Let me try it!" ”
Lin Rui knew that this Fan Ning's guard was strong in martial arts, especially in light skills, and he saw him jump from the high mast without any damage, such martial arts may not be of much use in large-scale battles, but in surprise battles, they can play a key role.
Lin Rui was overjoyed and said, "What can I do to help Xu Zhuangshi?" ”
Xu Qing looked at the high suspension bridge and said, "I hope General Lin can use a bow and arrow to suppress the formation for me, and in addition, prepare to hit the city wood!" ”
The hammer was already ready, and Lin Rui immediately turned around and shouted: "A thousand crossbowmen, give me the bow and arrow to suppress the enemy!" ”
'Boom! Boom! Boom! The drums of war beat fiercely.
A thousand soldiers rushed forward with a shout, and they stopped a hundred and twenty paces away from the wall, raised their crossbows and fired at the wall, and the powerful crossbow arrows were fired at the soldiers at the head of the city, and dozens of defenders could not dodge, and they were hit by arrows in a series of screams.
The rest of the soldiers were so frightened that they crouched down one after another, dodging the Song army's strong crossbow attack.
At this time, Xu Qing took a stainless steel claw, in front of which were three barbs, one foot long, the stainless steel was as thick as a finger, in the shape of an inverted lotus, extremely sharp, and behind it was a rope seven or eight zhang long, which was a special iron claw for siege, which was relatively rough and strong, and the flying tiger claw of the martial artist was much finer than it, and it could be carried in his arms.
Xu Qing walked quickly to the front of the trench, looked up at the high suspension bridge, the suspension bridge was two feet from the ground, and two large thick iron chains pulled the two ends of the top of the suspension bridge, Xu Qing saw a soldier with a big waist and a round waist carrying a sharp axe, so he smiled at him: "Throw the axe to me later!" ”
"What?" The soldiers did not understand what he meant.
Xu Qing didn't answer, with a flick of his hand, the iron claw flew out, hooking the left iron chain, Xu Qing took more than a dozen steps back, ran forward violently, suddenly jumped a foot high, and gently grabbed the rope in the air, his body was still echoing in the air, but his arms did not stop, and the person quickly climbed up.
The soldiers of the Song army suddenly exclaimed, followed by a warm applause.
At this time, Hirano Ying, who was hiding behind a city wall, sneered in his heart, he snatched a pair of bows and arrows, opened his bow and arrows, and aimed at Xu Qing in mid-air. The ground shot towards Xu Qing.
The arrow was like a meteor, extremely fast, and at the moment when the arrow was about to hit Xu Qing, Xu Qing's body arched and kicked at the arrow, which accurately hit the arrow shaft and kicked the arrow away.
Lin Rui was furious and shouted: "Suppress the enemy army!" ”
Another round of dense arrows shot towards the city, seventy or eighty arrows were all aimed at the Pingye Ying, and the Pingye Yingzhi was about to shoot the second arrow, but the Song army's arrows were too urgent, and he had to squat sideways.
At this time, Xu Qing had already climbed the edge of the drawbridge with one hand, turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Throw the axe to me!" ”
Only then did the soldier react, and he threw the axe at Xu Qing with all his might, and Xu Qing grasped the handle of the axe lightly in the air, and struggled to use the axe to slash at the chain on the suspension bridge.
Seeing the flames splashing everywhere, and the iron chains were properly chopped and made a sound, Lin Rui understood Xu Qing's intentions, he was splitting the iron chains, but is it possible? It's almost the same to burn it with fire.
Everyone looked at Xu Qing suspiciously, not knowing if it would have an effect.
Xu Qing chopped the iron chain just to understand the texture of the iron chain, he felt that the casting was very rough, the iron quality was not good, it was not the kind of military fine iron that was repeatedly forged, or it was a very ordinary crude iron sold in the market, and all kinds of iron farming tools were made with it.
He was overjoyed, and he chopped the axe on the wood, but took out a steel saw in his bosom, which was his treasure, and could easily cut the thumb-thick iron bar on the iron window, and he was his most powerful assistant when he was a thief in the river.
Xu Qing quickly came back to saw the chain along a gap split by the axe, and at this time, the Song army's arrows were like flying locusts, always suppressing the defenders at the head of the city, buying Xu Qing time.
Suddenly, there was a 'Click!' sound from the drawbridge. With a loud bang, the long chain snapped and flew into the air like a serpent, and the drawbridge tilted to the left, leaving only one chain to pull the drawbridge.
Lin Rui was overjoyed and shouted, "Prepare for the hammer!" ”
Dozens of soldiers carried a four-zhang long thick log, and the top of the wood was equipped with an iron head, which was a ramshell, weighing two thousand catties, and a hundred soldiers raised their shields to protect the soldiers holding the battering ram.
At this time, the night had quietly fallen, and the sky had become dark, and I saw Xu Qing like a huge lizard, climbing on the suspension bridge, struggling to see the iron chain on the left.
It's another 'Crash!' The crisp sound, the iron chain broke, flew towards the city, the huge suspension bridge fell suddenly, at the moment when the suspension bridge fell, Xu Qing turned out, turned a few heels in the air, and landed firmly on the ground, ushering in a cheer from the soldiers.
Lin Rui shouted: "On the battering ram!" ”
Dozens of soldiers rushed to the city gate with battering rams, shields on both sides covered them tightly, and a thousand crossbowmen fired arrows at the head of the city, suppressing the enemy troops in front of them, so that the rolling wood and stones could not hit the soldiers from the front.
Although the castle was built very strongly, after all, the barbarian city was not well done in many details, there were no battlements, no shooting holes, and no throwing slots.
'Boom! There was a deep, muffled sound, the door shook, and dust fell.
The soldiers in the city panicked and fled to the city gates, but there was not a single soldier at the gates.
'Boom! There was another loud bang, and with the sound of the bolt breaking, the door was slammed open.
Lin Rui waved his knife and shouted: "Kill into the city, the resisters will kill no matter what!" ”
Five thousand Song soldiers roared and swarmed into the city, and the city of Tamna eventually fell.
.........
The night passed, the sky finally dawned, except for the two thousand vigilant soldiers, the rest of the craftsmen, soldiers and war horses have landed, Fan Ning also went ashore with Di Qing and Zhao Zongshi, at this time, Lin Rui stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to report: "The humble duty does not live up to the trust, and has captured Tamna City according to the original plan, Xu Qing has captured the suspension bridge, and made the first contribution in this battle, and the humble duty is willing to ask for a reward for him!" ”
Xu Qing also stepped forward and knelt down on one knee with his fists clenched, Di Qing smiled and said, "Xu Zhuangshi is willing to join the army?" If you want to join the army, I will protect you as the Marquis of Yu! ”
Yu Hou is a low-level officer, slightly taller than Dutou, equivalent to the deputy company commander of the reconnaissance, but this is only the beginning, if he continues to make meritorious contributions, along the way, Xu Qing can at least be promoted to the commander of the capital.
Xu Qing shook his head, "The villain doesn't want to join the army, thank you for Di Shuai's love!" ”
"Alright! Write down the merits first, and then go back and talk about the merits and rewards. ”
Di Qing then asked, "What are the casualties of the brothers?" ”
Fan Ning secretly praised in his heart, worthy of Di Qing, the first thing that came to mind was not how many enemies he killed, but the casualties of his own soldiers, no wonder he won the hearts of the army at the border pass.
Lin Ruiyu reported: "The brothers were killed 23 and wounded 47, of which 14 were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured, and it is estimated that the number of casualties will rise." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Rui said hatefully: "The main reason is that there are three hundred Japanese samurai in the city, which are very fierce, and the casualties are all caused by the fierce battle with them. ”
"Have all the samurai been annihilated?" Next to Fanning asked.
Lin Rui nodded, "Back to Fan Yushi, all three hundred Japanese samurai were killed, none of them survived, and their leader was also hit by several arrows, and finally forced to commit suicide. ”
There was a hint of disappointment in Fanning's eyes, in fact, he hoped to leave a few alive and let himself know about the situation in Japan, but since they had all been killed, Fanning didn't say anything, and nodded with a smile, "Then let's talk about the main point!" ”
"King Gao Bo has been captured, more than a hundred of the two thousand soldiers have been killed, and the rest have all surrendered."
"Only killed more than a hundred people?"
Zhao Zongshi frowned, and asked puzzledly, "Why are there so few?" ”
"Enlighten the envoy, the humble order is that the resisters are killed, but in fact, except for the three hundred Japanese samurai, there is no resistance, the army is killed, all kneeling together, begging for surrender, without the blood of soldiers, more than 100 people were still killed because the surrender was not timely."
Di Qing said with a smile: "Meng Yuanwai said that the people of Tamluo are more obedient and lack the will to resist, which can be seen from this. ”
Zhao Zongshi nodded, "Call Meng Yuanwai, let's go into the city!" ”
Surrounded by more than a thousand soldiers, everyone came to Tamluo City, Fan Ning looked at the dangerous castle, turned back to Di Qing and smiled: "How does it compare with the city of the Western Xia people?" ”
Di Qing smiled and said: "As far as the castle itself is concerned, it is still tall and strong, but the Xixia people built the castle according to the dangerous mountain, and it is even easier to defend and difficult to attack, and Tamluo City is far from being comparable." ”
Zhao Zongshi said with a smile: "This can be used as the location of the official and military offices, and you can collect grain and grass materials in it." ”
When everyone entered the military city, a civilian officer stepped forward to report, "The materials in the city have been counted, including 30,000 stone of grain, more than 9,000 sheep, 750 head of cattle, 3,500 taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, 70 buckets of pearls, and some armor, almost all this wealth." ”
Fanning shook his head and sighed: "There is only so much wealth left in a country, what is the difference between this and the death of the country?" ”
He immediately said to Lin Rui: "Go and gather all the people, let them come to the city, and have something to explain to them." ”
