Song Dynasty

Chapter 122

Twenty or so rode a horse with a belly, and walked to the gate of Kong Yanzhou's North Camp amidst the rumbling sound.

This place is located in the [-]th and [-]rd miles to the north of Qichun County, since a large number of troops were deployed here.Qichun has become a military city, and it is Kong Yanzhou's stronghold.

In a radius of about thirty or forty miles, Kong Jun's scouts were everywhere, and the security circle was spread widely.Therefore, the defense of the bandit army in the North Camp seemed loose.

Seeing Wang Shen and the others rushing forward, the drawbridge had been pulled up on the other end, and the soldiers on duty lazily rushed to the watchtower, archery tower and fence, and looked over suspiciously.

Someone who looked like a military officer shouted from the watchtower, "Who is here?"

A cavalryman with a loud voice was about to step forward to call for battle, Wang Shen shook his head at him, and then pointed at Qin Sizhao: "You go forward and speak, be careful, don't walk into the range of the enemy's bow and crossbow."

From the time he sneaked into Qizhou suddenly, Wang Shen cultivated his courage and ability intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yes, Daddy." Qin Sizhao is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He rode forward excitedly, and sternly scolded: "You are blind, you don't even know me anymore. Grandpas are Wang Daosi General Wang personally led Tabai, patrolling here today. The so-called geese leave their voices, and people leave their names. I am here to say hello to you."

"Are you Tabai?" The officer above was stunned: "No, isn't General Kong's Tabai in the Peking Camp, and when did you go out? I don't know... Ah, Wang Daosi! "

"Sizhou Army, Sizhou Army is coming!" All the bandits came to their senses at this time.There was chaos inside, and the sound of horns sounded continuously in the camp.

The flags fluttered, and amidst the panicked shouts of the officers, soldiers swarmed in disorder, crowded behind the fence, on the archery towers and watchtowers, and all drew their bows and pointed forward.

For a moment, the other side of the camp was full of black and moving heads.Long knives and big guns were densely erected in the air, behind the archers, thousands of infantry were rounded up, and the shiny metal arrows were connected into one piece.

On the side of the camp, a frame was woven with wood, filled with soil, and erected as a wall.There was a fire, and it was the soldiers who were boiling the boiling oil.

There are bandits running around like crazy.

Hu Yantong couldn't help laughing: "It's so chaotic, General Wang, I don't think Kong Yanzhou's troops are doing well?"

Wang Shen said lightly, "Let's see."

The Kong Yan Zhou Army was trained by Zong Ze, and adopted the tactics of the Western Army. There were a large number of crossbowmen in the army. Depending on the situation, at least [-]% of them were huge.

Being pointed at by so many step bows at the same time, anyone would subconsciously feel a numb scalp.

But Qin Sizhao didn't seem to realize it, he just put a pair of small hands on his waist, and shouted in a childish voice: "Whatever the chaos, please be quiet. Which general are you leading the team? Come out and answer. Why, just say a word." Don't you have the guts to speak? People say that Kong Yanzhou's soldiers are all Yanzhao men, first-class heroes, hehe, I've seen you today, and I'm so disappointed. You should go back to your mother's kang to pee on it?"

This sound was very clear and clear, and it was heard from afar.

Immediately, countless angry shouts came from Kong Yanzhou's barracks.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum, and there are countless black dots flying into the sky, which are Kong Yanzhou's archers shooting.

There are at least a thousand arrows drawing beautiful arcs in the air.

In a blink of an eye, Yujian rose to the highest point, and the chilling sound of piercing the air filled my ears.

Seeing that he was about to be covered by the rain of arrows, Wang Shen put his finger in his mouth and whistled.

In an instant, including Qin Sizhao, all twenty riders started running.

In a blink of an eye, he was out of the range of the enemy archer.

"Tud chug..." Countless feathered arrows landed ten steps away from the horse's hoof, forming a single piece on the ground, like a wheat field just after harvesting.

The cavalry that Wang Shen brought over this time were all from the Western Army Shengjie and the Second Bailong Army. They fought against the Dangxiang people in Hengshan since they were young. It can be said that the first thing they saw when they were born was a horse.Whether it is martial arts or riding skills, they are all top-notch, and they are not far behind the Mongols and Jurchen kidnappers.

Today, he wanted to show off his force again, and immediately started playing tricks on the saddle.

For a while they stomped inside to hide, for a while they refused to jump, for a while they walked, and for a while they chased forward...bringing great pressure to the enemy.

Going far away in an instant, and in an instant, the long shock formation was pressed to the edge of Kong Yanzhou's bow and arrow range.

After all, Qin Sizhao was a child, so he got mad when he was playing. He suddenly pulled out the Mongolian bow on his back, hooked it forward, picked up a feathered arrow stuck in the ground, put it on the bow, and shot it back with a whoosh.

It's a pity that he is a child, and after all, he lacks strength, and the bow he uses is also weak, and he only shoots a few dozen steps before falling to the ground.

Wang Shen laughed: "Si Zhao, you are still growing, don't use a hard bow. Archery is something that you have to wait for your muscles and bones to grow. I don't want you to become a hunchback."

Hu Yantong also said: "Yes, General Xiao Qin, I think your spine is a little crooked now, be careful not to get a wife in the future!"

"You... people don't want to ask for a wife!" The little guy didn't know whether he was shy or angry, and his face turned red.

All the cavalry also burst out laughing.

Archers are technical arms, and the prerequisite for a qualified bow and arrow head is height and strength.If you can't open a hard bow, it will be useless on the battlefield.It usually takes three or four years to train an archer, and a lot of equipment is consumed in it, which is quite expensive.

If the step bows of this era want to have a certain lethality, as an effective means of long-range projection, most of them have the power of a stone bow.When you open the bow, you have to use the strength on the upper waist and legs. Over the years, most archers' spines are slightly deformed.

Judging from the archaeological excavations of later generations, most of the longbowmen in ancient England had curved spines.It can be seen how much force their bodies have to bear when they usually launch.

Qin Sizhao was still young and his body was developing, so it was too early to practice bow and arrow.

Wang Shen: "Hu Yantong, don't tease Si Zhao. Don't tell me, Kong Yanzhou has a lot of archers, I'm really envious!"

Hu Yantong: "The general is greedy?"

"Of course, it's a pity that our army doesn't have archers, what can we do!" Wang Shen's eyes were burning. The Sizhou army now has four arms, light cavalry, crossbowmen, spearmen, sword and shield hands, and they are well equipped.Although the magic arm bow is powerful, the speed of winding and firing is too slow, and it cannot form a fast and effective firepower projection on a fierce battlefield.

He had wanted to train an archer for a long time, but it was too slow to train from scratch, and he couldn't find soldiers who met the requirements in such a physical condition for a while.

Hu Yantong: "General, after taking down Kong Yanzhou, we will have it."

While galloping on horseback, Wang Shen shouted with all his strength, "Listen everyone, once you capture the archers of Kong's army in the future, treat them with courtesy, and don't abuse or kill them."

"Yes!" Everyone responded loudly.

Hearing Wang Shen's yell, the rain of arrows shot by Kong Yanzhou from the North Battalion was much thinner, and gradually stopped, just watching Wang Shen and other cavalrymen playing tricks in front of the big camp.

"What's going on, why didn't you stop!" In the camp, a middle-aged officer ran up the watch tower angrily, and shouted at the person in charge of guarding the gate.

"As for General Liu, bows and arrows are out of reach." The man replied cautiously.

"Can't reach it?" The person who came was Kong Yanzhou's number one general, Liu Fu. He frowned and looked at Wang Shen and the others in front of him. If you dare to kill us in front of our village with a mere ten or twenty riders, you are all dead. 5000 people are just hiding inside and watching, and they don’t know how to fight back. If General Kong finds out, you must take your dog’s head off. Listen. I ordered the whole army to assemble, how to kill it. Zhiniang thief, this is a good opportunity, if we kill Wang Daosi, we will make a great contribution."

The man still didn't move, not only him, but also the people around him looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What's the matter, still not moving?" Liu Fu was furious.

The man said cautiously: "General Liu, it's useless. They all have one man and two horses. We don't have cavalry. Even if we gather troops, if he sees that something is wrong, he will go straight to his mother. He won't be able to catch up at all. Isn't that right?" Wasting energy?"

"You bastard, you really raised a bunch of trash!" Liu Fu was furious, and drew out his knife with a clang, and was about to chop it off.

At this moment, suddenly, thousands of people in the camp shouted: "Come here, come here!"

Turning his head suddenly, he saw that, with the sound of horseshoes, Wang Shen rushed over with a long cloud of smoke.

Even though they were far away, they could still see his bright eyes.

For some reason, when he was stabbed by his gaze, thinking of the majesty he had achieved in Huaixi and Jiankang, Liu Fu was terrified, and couldn't help shouting hoarsely: "Let the arrows, let the arrows, let the arrows!"

Wang Shen's loud laughter came: "Haha, but General Liu Fu? Don't shoot the arrows. I came here today to tell you and your soldiers. I, Wang Shen, will soon marry the daughter of your military leader. Now I am Kong Juji. Chenglong is about to be his son-in-law. You and my armies will stop making peace immediately, and our family will not fight the whole family."

Hearing this, the archers hesitated, and the arrows they shot were crooked and weak.

Liu Fu was furious and kicked an archer off the archery tower.Amidst the long screams of the soldiers, they shouted sharply: "Don't let him disturb the morale of the army, everyone will shoot at Wang Shen. Anyone who hesitates, beheaded!"

At this moment, suddenly, with a "dang", he felt a shock in the head, as if he had been punched hard.

A broken feathered arrow bounced off.

It turned out that at this moment, on the galloping horse, Wang Shen suddenly drew his hard bow and shot an arrow, which hit the iron helmet on Liu Fu's head.

"Protect General Liu, protect General Liu!" There was chaos on the watchtower, and soldiers rushed to Liu Fu.

"Ahh..." Another series of screams sounded.

The soldiers who had just pounced on Liu Fu dispersed in an instant, and almost all of them were shot by arrows and fell to the ground in panic.

What a good Wang Shen, his body was up and down on the horse, and the arrows in his hands never stopped. Every time the arrow came, it could hit one person.Strange to say, every arrow he shot hit a bandit soldier's right shoulder accurately.

Such archery skills are truly frightening.

Even if Li Guang and Yang Youji are reborn, it's nothing more than that.

There was chaos in front of the village, all the people were swept away by Wang Shen's eyes, and they subconsciously hid behind their companions, for fear of becoming the target of this evil star.

Wang Shen shot and wounded six rebels in one breath, then turned his horse's head, calmly escaped from the enemy's range, and laughed loudly: "General Liu Fu, brothers Kong Jun, this is a betrothal gift for Kong Yanzhou. We are all a family, and we will not take your life. Tell my father-in-law of Taishan. I have heard for a long time that Miss Kong Er is a famous beauty. Eight big sedan chairs are brought over. If she never leaves, I will treat her with respect, as a promise of life and death. If not, I will bring a hundred thousand tigers from Pinghuaixi, Yelumawu, and Wanyanbalisu. Come get it."

After finishing speaking, he retracted the bow and roared away surrounded by his subordinates.

In Qichun, there are tens of thousands of Confucian troops, with a battalion of tens of miles. Wang Daosi came and left as soon as he said, he was really calm and unrestrained.
