Chapter 274: First Victory
The springs, locks, and leather ropes clicked chaotically, and the trebuchet and bed crossbow with a thousand powerful forces were assembled.
The giant crossbow like a short spear was placed in the card slot, the crossbow strings made of cow tendons, gold wires, and hair were pulled to the limit, and the rocks around the diameter were placed in the net pockets, and they almost touched the ground heavily.
After everything was ready, with the order of the general, the giant crossbow shot straight against the ground, and slammed into the rammed earth mud wall without bricks, the front end was almost a foot deep into the wall, and the tail part trembled violently, making a buzzing sound, obviously full of strength.
The latecomer trebuchets threw the rocks into the sky, glided over a near-perfect parabola, and landed near the city walls either front or back, and the twenty trebuchets were less than half the middle of the wall, and the gates, wide enough for four carriages to pass side by side, were unscathed.
The four boulders are high or low in the middle of the city wall, deeply embedded in the wall, splashing large puffs of gravel and soil chips, making a deafening roar, the city wall of the second height of the city trembled slightly, and even the flagpole of the word "king" on the wall of the corner buttress could not bear to break on the spot.
The soldiers of Hanoi, whose morale was originally very low, had not yet settled down, and immediately suffered five rounds of rapid fire from the Flying Feather Battalion of the New Army, and those who had no time to dodge only felt that the sky was dark, and when they just reacted, they had been hit by several falling arrows, whimpered in pain, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The others had already come to their senses and rolled forward on the spot, clinging to the wall where their bows and arrows could not shoot directly, but in this way, the soldiers of the county were suppressed and did not dare to take the lead, and they did not even counterattack.
The number of five hundred people in the first camp, originally by the former saber and shield soldiers urged to attack, the footsteps are sparse and extremely ugly, at this time found that the Huaixian city wall no one showed up, remembering that Zhenjun personally said that three battles in a row can regain freedom, among which a number of bold and careful people, can't help but speed up the pace.
They were covered in water-soaked leather armor, a little heavy, but their protection was slightly improved, they bit a white cloth in their mouths, latched on to the thick back of their short knives, climbed crossbow arrows embedded in the rammed earth wall, and climbed up with their hands and feet.
The two-high city wall, for these unruly veterans, no more than four breaths to climb the city, found that the county soldiers were hiding under the city wall, the city was in chaos, there was no order at all, someone wrapped a short knife in a white cloth, firmly tied to the hand, and began to fight with the county soldiers who reacted.
The rest of the sinners who had ascended the camp first reacted immediately, and they also climbed the city wall, and the footholds were quickly connected in series, and then expanded into a position, firmly occupying a section of the city wall.
A clever veteran led a familiar robe to open the city gate, driven by the passion of meritorious service, people blocked killing, cars blocked and destroyed cars, and rushed to the city gate in one breath, directly lifted the door bolt made of logs, and suddenly opened the city gate with a concerted effort, and calmly put down the suspension bridge.
The opening of the city gate, in the era of cold weapons, meant that the defensive war was completely defeated, and the morale of the county soldiers was so low that they took off their military uniforms and armor, put on the makeup of ordinary people, and hid in the fang market in the city, shivering from time to time.
The spear and shield defense array of the former army immediately dissolved itself, and the sword and shield soldiers and brawler soldiers quickly rushed in, shouting slogans such as abandoning their weapons and surrendering and kneeling to avoid death, further destroying the will of the county soldiers to resist.
Ye Zhiqiu's clone, Dou Shengzhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "The Prince's Day is an old hero, Hanoi County is tired of the army, and our army can go down with one drum." That's right, the Immortal Dynasty has both righteousness and strength, and how many people dare to resist stubbornly?"
As the "Great War" gradually came to an end, the mixed new army entered the city one after another under the order of Ye Zhiqiu, and divided and surrounded the remnants of the Hanoi Army, and the results were quite fruitful.
It didn't take long for Hanoi County to observe Wang Kuang's Prince's Day, and Han Hao, the most trusted general under his command, and other brave and good generals, bare their chests and thorns tied to their backs, came to Dou Shengzhen and knelt down in front of Dou Shengzhenjun.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled secretly in his heart, but said on his lips: "Bear the guilt of Jing and ask for it! Why is the prince like this?
Seeing that Wang Kuang and the others still didn't move, Ye Zhiqiu waved his hand lightly: "The left and right guards, help up the prince and the others!"
As soon as the words fell, the guards of the Chinese army battalion immediately stepped forward quickly and helped Wang Kuang, Han Hao and others up, but they didn't expect that they had been waiting for a long time and stood up, so that the guards didn't use their strength at all.
Seeing the tranquil smile on Ye Zhiqiu's face, Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi County, immediately knew that he was in a more anxious mood, and he didn't do a full set of acts, but the matter has come to this, and when the overall situation has been decided, can he still take care of his face?
"The criminal does not know the majesty of the court, and he dares to resist the heavenly soldiers, which is really a crime that deserves death. However, looking at the fact that the old minister raised an army to defeat Dong Zhuo and governed Hanoi County in an orderly manner, he also hoped that the angels would be lenient and extrajudicial and merciful, so as to show the people of the world his respectful mind. ”
Ye Zhiqiu was a little unhappy in his heart, he was pinched by Wang Kuang, and he couldn't attack on the spot, so he couldn't help but secretly say: "Prince's Day is worthy of being a famous person in history, a veteran official who has been up and down in the sea for many years, although his attitude is wavering in the war, and he kneels so easily at a critical time, he is also a person with a reserved attitude. ”
Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu raised his hand slightly, and the invisible sword qi spread out like a fish, circling the bodies of these generals who were guilty of thorn petitions, cutting the ropes on the spot, and the dead branches and thorns fell everywhere.
"As the saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty! However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. The prince seized the place, violated the edict of the imperial court, and the position of the county prince had to be relinquished, and it was not to be dismissed on the spot. ”
"You are a native of Taishan County, Yanzhou, when you know the Yanzhou Demon Fox Rebellion, and establish the Qingqiu Fox Country according to the fierce ghosts of the ancient battlefield, behind you is just a group of wild foxes that have grown into essence. I will give you 500 soldiers, which will be mixed into the Hanoi county soldiers, and you will lead them personally. One is to return to his hometown to get rid of demons, and return my big man to Lang Lang, and the other is to declare the prestige of the Immortal Dynasty in the locality, and take the opportunity to recruit loyal people to be among the soldiers of the county. ”
When Wang Kuang heard that he had a serious place to go, he immediately understood that there was no head-on confrontation, and finally won the forgiveness of the imperial court, and was even reincorporated into the system, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to answer the order.
In addition to Wang Kuang, even the generals under his command all breathed a sigh of relief. However, some people were indignant because of this, and couldn't help but secretly think that if they knew that the imperial court was so tolerant and generous, they should have led the troops to surrender as soon as possible, and they would definitely sell for a good price.
Hanoi is a good place to live, not only because of the abundance of large livestock, but also because of its geographical advantages. To the west is Shangdang County, and the only thing to worry about is the Huguan guard, which is said to be extraordinary. To the north is Jizhou Wei and Zhao Er Counties, Julu County is in sight, and there is Tianyun Sect secretly exerting force, so don't be too easy. To the east is Yanzhou Chenliu, Yingchuan two counties, the sour jujube alliance is vivid, Yingchuan is a place where humanities gather, the literary style is extremely prosperous, is a good place to collect talents.
Yingyin Xun is one of the leaders, a real scholarly family, there are talents emerging from generation to generation, rooted in the locality, the family power across counties and states, echoing with the family spokesperson of the court, among the top families.
It's a pity that the Xun clan's disciples attached themselves to the princes of all parties, silently accumulated strength and popularity, and began the process of gate valve, which was abruptly interrupted by the Qi Refiner Group that Weili attributed to itself.
The name of the text cannot be eaten as a meal, nor can it resist the blade, and it may be able to reprimand the ghosts and gods to retreat, but it cannot shake the Dao heart of the cultivator. As a result, he was pressed on the ground and rubbed on the left side of the door, and he died and lived, but because of the big business of his family, he couldn't move away and relocate, and he was really embarrassed.
"The family is self-inflicted, and I will not pity and pity, but how innocent the common people are, it is natural to rescue them from suffering. By the way, the children of the Han Sect were promoted and included in the six departments of the Immortal Dynasty to enrich various positions. Qi refiners are now able to use their abilities, but they don't understand current affairs, so they are not the best choice for governing the country. ”
Feeling the pain of manpower shortage, Ye Zhiqiu's clone, Dou Shengzhen Zhenjun came back to his senses: "Send a letter to Liu Bei, the Duke of Xuande, and ask him to go south to discuss future plans." If he has the will, I will guarantee him to be enthroned. ”
