Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 235
The armor he was wearing was not cold-forged armor. At a distance of less than a hundred steps, he was shot in the chest by a downwind crossbow, and he was very likely to be shot dead on the spot.

Don't underestimate the power of strong crossbows. Bow wounds kill crossbows. Cavalry are not too afraid of bows and arrows. They wear heavy armor. Ordinary strong bows have almost no lethality beyond a hundred steps. Only fifty steps can cause damage to heavy cavalry. Can't kill people.

Only the terrible crossbow, as long as it is not a high-quality hundred-refined cold-forged armor, no heavy armor can resist the strong penetration within a hundred steps, as long as it is topped by a crossbow within fifty steps, even the cold-forged armor Sometimes it is not very reliable. Just the strong inertia can shoot the cavalry off the horse, and it is almost the same without dying.

There were also a few cavalrymen who were hit by arrows, but they were protected by armor, and the howling wind weakened the power of the arrows, so they hardly suffered any damage.

"Split out 50 people, and fight with me for a while."

Xie Bao didn't expect the Song army to attack suddenly, instead he would definitely wait for work with ease, and shoot them slowly from a long distance. When the Song army cavalry came to him, he reacted and shouted defense, but it was too late.

As the ferocious cavalry of the Song Army rushed to the ground, the sound of blood splashing like violent beans broke out one after another. The group of Liangshan Boyuan soldiers surrounded by the horses were completely dispersed by the horses. With the waving of the stick, accompanied by the tragic hissing, the crowd splashed with bloody flowers.

With almost equal numbers of people, there is no suspense in the battle between the heavy cavalry and the light infantry. Ruthlessly snuff out.

The battlefield is equal and unfair, and it does not sympathize with the weak.

When the cavalry of the Song Army slashed and charged wantonly, the fate of experienced soldiers and rookies was different. Only those who escaped the first blow on the battlefield were eligible to survive.

Those soldiers who have come out of the flames of war know that cavalry charge is usually in a straight line, and they must not go head-to-head with cavalry armed with heavy weapons, otherwise the infantry will suffer a big loss. , so as to survive.

After evading the first round of shooting by the cavalry of the Song Army, dozens of Yizhou recruits finally retreated. They approached the large army hoping to find safety, but they never thought that they would have to bear a severe blow. If the soldiers were scattered in the defeat , I will never look for a large army on the battlefield, but sneak out of the battlefield first. Finding a large army is like a bonfire in the dark, and it is very easy to be attacked by the enemy.

They didn't know how to avoid the charge of the cavalry, and held up their battles in fear to resist. When they were knocked down by the huge impact, they realized that there was no way to hide, and they could only become dead bodies after the opponent passed by.

The wind is very fast and icy cold; the fire is so strong that it burns people's skin; the raindrops, it is raining, God help!Let the rain and the storm come more violently!

Jie Bao's eyes were already bleeding blood and tears, but the rain was not heavy, but it made him laugh loudly. He led the last dozen or so cavalrymen to rush towards the Song Army without hesitation. Either retreat or be annihilated.

Wang Xiu's expression was ugly. When he swung his horse lance to kill a man who wanted to die, and turned his horse to look up at the dark sky, the cold raindrops hit his face, and the bone-chilling chill spread to his confidant: Could it be that God really didn't help me?
"Kill me, don't leave one, kill them all." Wang Xiu's evil spirit in the bottom of his heart was completely stimulated by the rain. Since the heavens will not help him, then kill him, and use the blood of these bandits to extinguish his angry flames. .

Xie Bao had thought of dying in battle, but he never thought that in joy, the majestic killer would die in battle so aggrieved.

When he led more than ten cavalrymen to launch the final interception, sharp and howling arrows came from the side. He rushed to the front and was shot in five places all over his body. The deadliest arrow hit his face. He didn't even have a chance to shout, so he fell headlong and died.

All the hundred riders participated in the battle, and the battle was resolved by three strikes, five divisions and two divisions. It was basically destroyed, and no one was lost.

"Follow me into the county seat." Wang Xiu didn't stop, and galloped towards the city gate.

It was raining, and the cavalrymen of the defeated Song Army were shocked. They finally achieved unexpected results. Seeing that the whole Dazhai was engulfed in flames, if it really rained heavily, it would really be able to put out the fire. All efforts would be in vain.After fighting on the battlefield for so long, reinforcements must have been dispatched from the nearby cottages, and their reconciliation with the rout was also a powerful force, and it was impossible for the soggy rice to be ignited again.

They frantically searched for those remnants of the defeated generals to vent their anger. Their subordinates showed no mercy, and they were not even qualified to surrender.

When they encountered the defensive position organized by Chai Jin, they encountered a hard nail, and several times of fierce rushing and killing lost more than [-] people in vain.

Jing Bo was red-eyed, and wanted to organize a larger-scale charge, trying to annihilate this group of recalcitrants in one fell swoop, but Feng Yuan calmly stopped him, and said sharply: "It is not easy for Mr. Precious, there can be no unnecessary sacrifices, we try to set fire to it, and hope that the old world will be smaller."

Jing Bo was furious, but he didn't dare to disobey Feng Yuan, so he could only spit out bitterly, turned his horse's head and ran furiously.

"Fourth brother, look for fuel and set fire to it." Qiu Yun said with an idea.

"Yes, quickly search for oil, as long as the oil is poured, the heavy rain will not stop it." Feng Yuan was overjoyed.

Chai Jin was very sad. He gathered several hundred people to defend to the death, forcibly curbing the crazy offensive of the Song army, but he couldn't leave the position. His troops were too weak!
Once he leaves the defensive position, he will be caught in the frantic attack of the cavalry from all sides. For the lives of hundreds of brothers, he can't take the risk of attacking. He can only look up at the dark sky, hoping that the icy heavy rain will be heavier.

When Wang Xiu arrived at the city gate, it happened that the city was opening and closing to welcome the defeated soldiers. When he realized that the Song army was approaching, it was too late to stop him. The county town of Nuo Da only had a hundred guards, how many people could a city gate have?The Song army rushed in and killed anyone they saw, which made these left behind soldiers panic. They either abandoned their weapons to escape or fled out of the city quickly. Since the battle had been lost, they were unwilling to leave their lives behind.

His furious attack, he did not expect to easily take down the county seat, so he woke up from his anger, wiped the rain on his face, it was icy cold, the anger was slowly extinguished with the rain, and reason once again prevailed.

He looked up at the passing wind and the dark clouds gradually drifting away, frowned and thought about it for a long time, then a flash of joy suddenly flashed, and he said nonuo: "The wind swept away all the clouds, it seems that the heaven still has mercy on me."

Sure enough, the rain fell for a while, and the wind gradually weakened, but it was still very strong. The dark clouds in the sky continued to move southeast, and the sky gradually became clearer.

The rain was still falling, but it was obviously weakening, and the fire in the camp was still burning.

The officers and soldiers of the Song Army who participated in the battle let out bursts of cheers, and each of them showed joy. There was a strong wind and a torrential rain, which shocked people a lot.

Wang Xiu was drenched and icy cold, but he was extraordinarily excited, watching the flames soaring into the sky five miles away, his whole body was scorching hot.Without this strong wind, he would never have achieved such great results so quickly, and without this torrential rain, he certainly would not have launched an attack on the county and won the city easily.

Everything seems to be destined, a hasty battle is not big, but its meaning is very far-reaching, the ups and downs of his mood, let him have a sublimation of ups and downs, anger is a devil but not absolute, sometimes a blow of anger can often produce miracles The general effect, but being too rational makes the fighter opportunity fleeting.

What made him even more excited was that several cavalrymen caught a subordinate official who was about to flee for his life and found the warehouse where the money was stored. There are batches of dazzling silk and satin.

Headache, very headache, silver is okay, you can take it away directly, what about the large amount of copper coins and silk?Give up, you can't be an enemy!It is a pity to burn it, and it is more troublesome than deploying a campaign.

In the end, he was the best at choosing the lesser of two evils, and summoned soldiers and horses to bring all the silver. As for the silk, he could bring as much as he could. Those copper coins were too cumbersome, so each of the officers and soldiers who participated in the war could take as much as they could, as rewards Got it.

With the passing of the military order, the entire supply camp seemed to be set on fire. The drizzle in the sky had not yet fallen, but it was confiscated by the scorching heat. The people around Qianbu couldn't bear it at all. Feng Yuan and the others had already been ordered to withdraw to the county seat. Close the gates.

Chai Jin was also unable to hold the corner of the camp, so he had to lead the remnant soldiers to retreat with arrows, and moved several miles eastward to set up a position to wait for reinforcements.

I thought it was a big timely rain, but it was a pity that the thunder was loud and the rain was small. Well, there was not even a thunder, and the dark clouds were blown away by the strong wind. Seeing that the fire in the camp was getting bigger and bigger, and the hard-earned food and grass were burned. He was that aggrieved in his heart!
He is a dignified descendant of the former Zhou royal family. Although he has entered the ranks of commoners, he is also a wealthy family in Cangzhou.Since being framed by treacherous ministers and imprisoned, he could hardly survive. He was rescued by Song Jiang and others before he rebelled against the imperial court.

Looking at the fireworks all over the sky and the special smell of burning food, he really wanted to cry without tears. Most of the food and grass of Song Jiang's tens of thousands of troops are here. He can hardly imagine the consequences of having no food in the army. He will become the sinner of the sworn brothers .

When the routs who escaped from the county were collected, they realized that even the county had fallen, and the many gold and silver treasures fell into the hands of the Song Army.

Why haven't the reinforcements come? Could it be that Yang Xiong belonged to the police?As a descendant of the royal family, although his family is in decline, he claims to be of noble blood, he leads people in a polite manner, and his pride and loyalty are true, but he will never swear. Today he was so angry that he really exploded with foul language.
