There were many people on the street, howling and running behind them. The terrifying loud noise just now had frightened their courage. They were all young men from wealthy families who wanted to see a real killing battle formation on a whim.
, many people also brought their lovely wives and maids, intending to watch the rare spectacle together, but at this time, they did not care about the beauties who had fainted, and just wanted to quickly leave this place that made him lose his soul...
The streets were filled with smoke and dust. Sitting in the hole of the city gate, Ning Taigu was completely stunned. When Ning Lingge got married, he was patrolling the White Horse Army and did not believe in the theory of heavenly punishment at all.
I don’t care, now I see it with my own eyes and realize that what my relatives and friends said was not exaggerated in the slightest, Song State actually has such weapons!!
Wen Yanbo reluctantly sat upright, wiped the blood from his nose, and ignored the blood stains on his beard. He stood behind Han Qi and looked nervously toward the street.
A burst of neat and heavy footsteps came from the dust and mist, and a small group of fifteen heavily armored soldiers appeared in a hurry. A large shield as tall as one person protected their bodies tightly.
In fact, the five giant shields connected together were like a moving steel wall, and a ten-foot-long spear exposed a small part of it from the gap in the steel wall, charging towards the Xixia position where corpses were everywhere without hesitation.
A gust of wind blew in from the city gate hole, taking away the dust and gunpowder smoke that disturbed the sight. The place where the Xixia people charged could no longer be described as a hell on earth. The ground was full of torn corpses of horses and people.
There are still many colorful intestines and internal organs hanging on the elm tree. A few Xixia people who were lucky enough to survive sat sluggishly in the middle of the bloody battlefield, looking around dully, roaring like beasts from their mouths. Two eyeballs
The Xixia people hanging outside their eye sockets stretched out their hands and groped around randomly. This state of being unable to hear or see made them eager to grab something they could rely on.
Lang Tan and the remaining soldiers of Wu Sheng's army calmed their horses with evil smiles. If the horses were not frightened, they would have charged over long ago, but it would be good to let Niu Da lead the soldiers forward.
A big bloody hand overturned a dead war horse. The Xixia Eagle Shooting Hand was covered with the blood and flesh of the war horse. He managed to stand up. The huge bow in his hand had been broken, so he threw it away.
With a huge bow, he picked up a Xixia long knife and continued to charge towards the Song Dynasty soldiers with faltering steps. The loud noise had seriously damaged his balance ability. He knew he would die but wanted to die on the way to charge. There was a buzz,
Five armor-piercing awls flew over from behind the shield array, and he barely missed two of them. The remaining three armor-piercing awls easily tore through his ragged armor leaves and passed through his body, firmly
inserted into the ground.
The shield formation opened a gap, and its big feet emerged from the gap. With one kick, the body of the eagle shooter was thrown away, and the shield formation continued to move forward.
Ning Taigu burst into tears and hissed: "We admit defeat!"
The shield array continued to move forward like a moving steel wall.
The spear pierced the chests of those Xixia people who were sitting on the ground, and then when the spear was picked up, the corpses would fly to the side. The iron boots of the Wusheng Army soldiers stepped on the pink field and made a strange sound. After the iron boots passed by, their livers and intestines were broken!
Han Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at the Xixia people's flying heads, which was very interesting. Pang Ji shook his head that was still buzzing and smiled. Wen Yanbo opened his eyes for a while, then closed them again, and finally forced himself to
Eyes wide open.
Zhao Zhen was vomiting, and Zou Tong, with a bloody cloth tied around his head, was holding a copper basin to wait for the emperor to vomit, and whispered to the emperor to leave this flesh and blood mill as soon as possible.
Zhao Zhen vomited and shook his head. After vomiting, he didn't have time to wipe his mouth and continued to look at the battlefield, and then continued to vomit...
The soldier walked straight towards the city gate. Pang Ji now only hoped that Ning Taigu would not die in the hands of these soldiers who had completely turned into killing machines. Fortunately, a big foot stretched out from the shield formation and kicked heavily.
Ning Taigu kicked him aside in the face, and the soldiers walked out of the city without looking back.
Lang Tan whistled, and the remaining horses of Wu Shengjun gathered around. The Xixia people's horses also came over and joined the cavalry. Two unmanned carts slowly walked over from the end of the street. Lang Tan and his men were about to fight.
The four dead soldiers were put on the carriage, and Wu Shengjun's flag was placed on the front of the carriage. He personally drove the first carriage towards the city gate. He was the last person to walk out of the city gate.
In an instant, he beat his breastplate angrily and shouted: "Wu Shengjun, Wan Sheng!"
Lang Tan left, heading straight to the place where he was going to make meritorious deeds, leaving behind him a large area of land stained red with blood...
It wasn't until Lang Tan disappeared that Pang Ji let out a sigh of relief and said, "I haven't seen the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties for many years, but I didn't expect it to be so majestic!"
Han Qi sighed and said: "The power of firearms turns out to be so overbearing! I underestimated this thing before. Zeng Gongliang once said that the only thing that can influence military battles in the future is gunpowder. I thought this was an exaggeration, but now I have witnessed it with my own eyes.
, it is indeed impossible to defeat them with human power. The reason why Wu Shengjun planned to attack Shenglong Mansion, and the reason why Di Qing took advantage of Dali Country, was to rely on firearms."
Wen Yanbo wiped his beautiful beard and said: "It depends on which army it is in. If it is in the hands of the Japanese army, today's fierce battle will still be a victory for the Xixia people. Do you believe it or not?"
Zhao Zhen finally stopped vomiting, looked thoughtfully at the dark city gate, and ordered him to return to the palace.
After only one sip of the lotus seed soup sent by the Queen, she began to vomit again. The Queen was so shocked that she thought there was something wrong with the soup she had cooked. She quickly took a sip and looked at the Emperor strangely. There was nothing wrong with the soup.
Zhao Zhen waved his hands in pain and said: "It's not the soup's problem, it's my own problem. Jian Tian saw a real life and death fight. The scene was too cruel. There always seemed to be a bloody smell in his chest. He vomited after eating.
.”
The queen hesitated and asked, "How is the war going?"
Zhao Zhen sat up straight and said: "Wu Sheng's army won a great victory! But the victory was too cruel. Four soldiers died on the spot, and the entire Xixia army was wiped out, including a legendary eagle shooter.
Ning Taigu actually dared to bring the Condor Shooter into Tokyo. It seems that he himself had evil intentions. He was really bold! Ask the Secret Service Department why the Condor Shooter was not found among the Xixia people! Fortunately, he has been beheaded by Wu Shengjun.
, otherwise there will be questions about whether I can be stable."
After hearing what the emperor said, the queen patted her chest and said, "I heard a loud noise in the palace, like thunder. Why do you think this is happening?"
A trace of blood appeared on Zhao Zhen's pale face, and he said proudly: "That was the sound of gunpowder bombs exploding. The Queen didn't know it. After the gunpowder bombs exploded, there was indeed the power of thunderbolts. Those fierce Xixia people were instantly killed. It was torn into pieces, and its intestines were hung on the elm tree on the street... Queen, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Zhen looked at the queen with a smile and covered her mouth and ran away. Some abnormal blush appeared on her delicate face again and said to himself: "Wu Sheng's army is so strong? But the Japanese army is too weak. The legacy left by our ancestors It has long been proven that family law can only be based on strong trunks and weak branches. How can the distinction between strong and weak be put the cart before the horse?
I can’t do anything now, I’d better wait for Wu Shengjun to return before we make any plans, I will definitely make you extremely glorious!”
After fifteen miles from the capital, Lang Tan ordered to set up camp. The emperor's order was to travel immediately, and he had to leave the capital fifteen miles anyway to be considered as obeying the emperor's order.
Lu Gong, a doctor in the Ministry of War's official division who had been following silently, ordered people to carry the coffin that had been prepared long ago. Naturally, there was a coroner who helped the dead Sun San and others collect the bodies.
Lang Tan sat down on the mound and looked at the stars in the sky. He felt that there seemed to be countless grievances and anger in his heart that he wanted to express. These good men did not die in the battle in Guangnan. They did not expect to come to the capital of the Song Dynasty. We still have to fight against the most ferocious enemy. What is the purpose of this?
Niu Da and others were crying loudly. Yesterday they were drinking and having fun together, but now they are separated forever. Although they are used to seeing life and death, it is really unreasonable for these brothers to die.
Lu Gong watched the four tombs being built and walked to Lang Tan's side and said: "After the first seven days, the government will rebuild the tombs, and the officers and soldiers who died in the battle will enter the 38th Festival Wujielang!"
Lang Tan laughed miserably and said: "But I don't know what kind of reward I will get if I die in battle?'
Lu Gongzhu raised his head and looked at the starry sky and said: "It's just a sacrifice of life and death. You will have a dojo and rituals, and you will be promoted to a military officer in the 19th period! Your mother will have a title, and your wife will be called Madam! Yin Yizi." "
Lang Tan nodded and said, "It's really not a bad treatment. I should be satisfied!"
Mr. Lu took out a few documents from his sleeves and handed them to Lang Tan and said: "Here are four blank letters of confession. You fill in the names and military positions of the deceased. I will naturally take care of the funeral arrangements after I return."
With tears in his eyes, Lang Tan filled in the names of the three and four grandsons and handed them to Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu put the names in his sleeve and suddenly said: "I am an official in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Fang, and I have handled death and mourning for countless people." , only this time, I am willing to do the job, otherwise, you will have to pay a lot of red work to do it. Don't worry, there will never be any deductions this time."
Lang Tan looked at the four new graves around him, and then at Mr. Lu who was walking away. He gritted his teeth and said, "I know what plans you all have. You want to use me, Wu Shengjun, as cannon fodder." , go ahead and have your big-headed dreams, I can guard the border and kill the enemy, but I will not be affected by your cowardice.
If there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, I will be the first to attack and want us to be your watchdogs. You are wrong!"
Niu Da wiped his tears and said: "Marquis, we will go back after we attack Shenglong Mansion. I don't care about their bad Wujielang. I would rather be a servant in the general's house than an official. Damn it, the capital city is It’s a cannibalistic place, and four brothers who are close to each other will be gone once you visit.” (To be continued)
