The army is marching very fast. The entire Jingxi Army has actually become half a mule and horse unit. The little baggage required for the march has been placed on the mules and horses. Even the Huotou Army must march on a cart.
, as long as they are soldiers, no matter whether they can ride a horse or not, they will have an animal on their back. Although this kind of march is more painful for some people than walking, under the strict military orders of the Chinese army, no one dares to stand on the back of an animal.
Come down.
Yunzheng's march took only four days on the 630-mile journey from Tokyo to Huaizhou. This was the first time in the Song Dynasty that such a fast march was possible.
There is still no news from Lanzhou City. Yun Zheng is ready to give up relying on Brother Chun and Xiaoman to complete this matter. If he arrives at Yanmen Pass in Daizhou and Huer has not been dealt with, Fu Bi's army will
Depart according to the time agreed upon in advance.
No matter how Kai Hu'er reacts, they will only be trampled to pieces by Fu Bi's 30,000 cavalry. As for how the Xixia people react, they can no longer care at this time.
The arrow had to be fired when it was on the string, but if he did so, his plan to involve the Xixia people in internal strife would completely fail. Yun Zheng had to face the threat of hidden gangsters while conducting a military campaign in Xijing of the Liao Kingdom. Whether it was the Xixia people
Whether Yun Zheng wants to see his troops march out of Montenegro to snatch the huge cake of the Liao Kingdom, or form an alliance with the Liao Kingdom to deal with the Song Dynasty together in anger, is not what Yun Zheng wants to see.
The best way is for people like Brother Chun to force Hai Hu'er to leave Lanzhou City.
What he didn't know was that people in Lanzhou City were already panicking at this time. The Heihu'er cavalry outside the city was whistling and galloping back and forth outside the city. After giving the Song people one day to escape, the Heihuer finally blocked the way.
This is the last mountain road for Lanzhou people to escape.
Yun Zheng underestimated the extent of Brother Chun's evil. That villain who did not hesitate to imagine people in the darkest places was now creating a horrific tragedy.
"The goal has basically been achieved. Hai Hu'er has laid siege to the city. All that's left is habitual massacre. Chen Shu, since your commander-in-chief wants you to listen to my wife, then logically you should also listen to me."
Brother Chun squatted on the city wall and occasionally glanced outside the city, then smiled casually at Chen Shu who was squatting next to him.
Chen Shu said disdainfully: "How can you see that? Do you think the order of command in the Western Beijing Army is divided according to distance and distance?"
Brother Chun chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter whether you listen to me now or not. I finally teased Hai Hu'er's murderous intention. Since you are in the city now, if you don't follow my arrangement, you will only
It's a dead end."
Chen Shu looked at the complacent Brother Chun and shook his head. He still doesn't know why this clown-like man is dictating to him. If it wasn't for the sake of the commander's military order, he would have killed him with a knife.
This guy's impulsiveness.
Although I don't know this guy's past, judging from his behavior these days, this guy is definitely a guy who deserves to be killed by a thousand cuts.
Killing people, stealing wealth, and blaming Jiangdong. In order to achieve his goals, he did not consider the means at all. He knew that Hai Hu'er was a group of murderers, and he did not hesitate to drag more than ten thousand people in Lanzhou City to be buried with them.
They all came from the army. How could Chen Shu not understand Li Qing's thoughts? When the general led his troops into the territory of the Liao Kingdom, a group of soldiers fetching water disappeared in a village where the Liao people lived.
Shuai's method was to send troops to raze the village, without any intention of finding the murderer, and to maintain the inherent deterrence. This is the standard practice of the army.
Chen Shu is not at all uncomfortable with doing this to foreigners, but in Lanzhou City today, among the more than 10,000 people, at least 30% are Song people, and the remaining 70% are either Xixia people or Tubo people, and there are even a large number of people from the Western Regions
Hu people.
The dominance of Lanzhou City has been changing over the years. The Xixia people snatched Lanzhou City from the Tubo people, and the Song people took back Lanzhou City from the Xixia people. Under such changes, some Tubo people and Xixia people,
The people of Song Dynasty all settled down in this city.
You can ignore the Tubo people. These people have long been completely abandoned by the Tubo people on the plateau, and they live in the most panic.
Although the Xixia people and the Song people are enemies of life and death, they live together in Lanzhou City, but they each show enough tolerance and magnanimity, and they get along pretty well. However, these days, the Song people in the city always behave inexplicably.
The people of Song Dynasty are now highly vigilant towards the Xixia people.
As for the wandering barbarians from the Western Regions, neither the Song people nor the Xixia people regarded them as human beings.
Chen Shu knew what Brother Chun was thinking, which was to tie all the tribesmen in the city except the Xixia people to his chariot, and finally achieve the plan of relying on human lives to consume the number of Haihu'er, and finally rely on his own elite soldiers to
Give Hae Hu'er the final blow.
After listening to Zhang Ting's words that day, Chen Shu suddenly realized that Lanzhou City was definitely destroyed, and Brother Chun was probably the best scapegoat for his army.
After thinking about this, Chen Shu felt warm in his heart. As expected, the commander-in-chief would not blame his close brothers. Even when making such dangerous arrangements, he would think of adequate escape routes for his brothers.
"I understand, without your command, we will make the final blow at the most appropriate time and completely defeat Haike Hu'er."
For the sake of the commander's big plan, Chen Shu still lowered his head. No matter what, the commander's kindness cannot be wasted in vain.
Brother Chun laughed and said: "Who wants you to make the final blow? What I want is that you can withstand the first wave of attacks from Hai Hu'er. Only in this way can I encourage more people to join your team. Finally,
Drag these damn bastards to death in Lanzhou City."
Chen Shu was startled, stared at Brother Chun and said, "Are you also planning to consume our brothers alive in this Lanzhou City?"
Brother Chun smiled and said: "You don't have to do it, I don't have to do it even more. Let's escape from Lanzhou City together while the tunnel is still there. You go to Tokyo to find your master Yun Zheng, and I will take my wife and children to find another place."
How about a nice place to live and work?”
Chen Shu laughed loudly and said: "I didn't expect that I would be forced into a corner one day and could not move. Well, I will comply with your wishes today. We brothers will just listen to your orders."
Hehe, but your wife and children are still in our hands. If you dare to escape halfway, I will definitely make you regret it for the rest of your life."
"Isn't Xiaoman your leader? Why did he become a hostage again?"
Chen Shu smiled and said nothing, and waved his hand to indicate that Brother Chun could start.
Brother Chun glanced at Chen Shu coldly, then waved his hand gently, and two colorful divine arm crossbows decorated with leaves were quietly carried up the city wall by a few horse thieves.
Hidden in a relatively complete place on the city wall, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Hail slaves. As long as the Hail slaves enter the shooting range, this powerful crossbow will definitely cause an uproar.
Liu Wenchun, the prefect of Lanzhou who couldn't leave, organized a large number of Lanzhou people to guard the city wall, but everyone knew that this was just a show. Once the Hailun'er launched an attack, these people would scatter and flee.
I just did it to maintain my last bit of dignity.
He no longer wanted to live, he only wanted a little glory behind him, hoping that the court would know that he resisted, and finally Yusui died in the city.
Chen Shu naturally arranged his men at the gap in the city wall, waiting for that damn clown to set off the final fuse.
Twenty cavalry guerrillas came from the east of the city wall. Due to habit, they delayed the team for a long time. Ever since Li Qing suffered a large-scale gunpowder bomb attack, he had never used the most effective method of intensive attack.
tactics.
Chen Shu took out his powerful crossbow, loaded the crossbow bolts, and knelt on the ground with one knee. The Wangshan on the crossbow had been opened. Brother Chun wanted to take a look at the two divine arm crossbows that he found from nowhere.
The mottled cracks on the arms showed that this kind of old-fashioned thing could not be relied upon, not to mention that the crossbows were wielded by two crude bandits.
Since it was about killing people, it would be more appropriate to let someone like me who had experienced many battles do it.
When a stout figure of Hu'er was lassoed into Wangshan, Chen Shu did not hesitate to trigger the mechanism. At the same time, Zhang Ting on the other side of him also activated the mechanism at the same time.
When the two crossbow bolts flew towards the target like meteors, the two divine arm crossbows on the city wall made a harsh sound.
The strong crossbows in the Jingxi Army come from the Crossbow Bow Academy of the Song Dynasty. Each crossbow is a strong and carefully crafted bow. It takes a spring, summer, autumn and winter from production to completion, especially after adding wooden pulleys.
The performance of the crossbow is close to that of the God's Arm Crossbow, which is complicated to make. Even so, the cost of making a strong crossbow is much less than the time required to make a God's Arm Crossbow.
Liu Wenchun was horrified to see three Kaihu'er fell off their horses, while the rest of the Kaihu'er cavalry shouted and started firing crossbows at the top of the city. In an instant, there were more than ten trembling city defenders.
He screamed and fell from the city wall.
Liu Wenchun couldn't find the person who fired the crossbow, so he laughed miserably and shouted: "The enemy is attacking, defend the city!"
His words seemed to remind those Minzhuang who were as stunned as quails. They saw the ferocious Hai Hu'er roaring and rushing toward the city wall from all directions, shouting, and then dispersed.
The two strong men from the Western Regions who were the first to run turned around and saw a burly man guarding the exit of the city wall. With a wave of his long knife, two heads flew into the air.
Blood spurted out from Lao Gao.
An old man from the Song Dynasty cursed angrily: "Red Eagle, what are you going to do!"
Red Eagle bared his white teeth and put a knife on the old man's chest, grinning ferociously: "Anyone who dares to climb down the city wall will be killed without mercy!"
The horrified people saw that the usually friendly Red Eagle started to go crazy and kill people, so they rushed to the other side of the city wall in a swarm. They didn't care whether the hackers below the city would enter the city, they just wanted to go home and stay with their wives and children.
, praying that Haihuer can let him go.
It's a pity that there are also bandits with sharp blades on the other side of the city wall, who also kill people without mercy.
Brother Chun roared in the crowd: "Anyway, we will all die. We will fight with the Xixia barbarians. Those bastards will kill us all!" (To be continued)
