Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 283 Piao Country Tour - Battle of Wa State City
"Stop! What are you doing?" Several guards swung their spears and stopped Li Chongyi and his party.

"Damn it!" Yuchi Baoqing thought he had been discovered and reached out to touch his waist.

"Steady!" Li Chongyi pressed his hand and said in a low voice.

"Young Master, it's all right. They asked us what we did?" Nanzhao people could understand some of their words, and those who had been prepared hurried forward and said.

"We are merchants from Tang Dynasty. We went to Tianzhu. We didn't have any food. We want to trade some in the city. I will give this to you brothers." Li Chongyi took out a small bag of refined salt and a small bag of frosted sugar and said with a smile. The guide hurriedly translated.

A gatekeeper in leather armor took it first, opened it, dipped his fingers in it, put it in his mouth, tasted it, his eyes lit up, he quickly tied it up and put it in his arms, and moved out of the way with a smile on his face. The guard next to him moved slowly All of them were pushed away by him.

For a barter city, food is the most important currency, and salt is almost as important as gold. As for frosting sugar, it is completely a luxury, so the guard leader did not think about extorting more, because in In his mind, this is already a great gift.

Li Chongyi and the others didn't expect it to be so easy to sneak into the city. They looked at each other and beckoned everyone to walk into the city under the eager eyes of the guards. From the corner of their eyes, they had spotted Qin Huaiyu and the others.

Walking into the city, but not going any further, they pretended to set up stalls near the city gate, vaguely approaching the route of the upper city wall, and many people watched them curiously, and part of them sneaked away through the crowd of onlookers. , intentionally or unintentionally approached the guard next to him.

Seeing Li Chongyi and the others entering the city smoothly, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help letting go of most of his heart, and quickened his pace to approach the city gate.

When the guards saw another group of similar people coming, they didn't think much about it. They thought they could make a lot of money today, so they pretended to lead the guards to stop Qin Huaiyu and others.

Qin Huaiyu deliberately took out a cart of canned food, opened the box, took it out, and then distributed the food to the guards, and then gave a can to each of them.

These guards have eaten such sweet canned fruit that they almost took their tongues out.

Seeing that they attracted the attention of most people, Qin Huaiyu hurriedly called the guards at the top of the city to come down and collect them.

Although the guards on the city wall couldn't understand what they said, they could understand the hand gestures. They looked down enviously at first, but now they were greeted, and they all ran down the city tower in a swarm, fearing that if they were a little slower, they would be gone. up.

Qin Huaiyu turned his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the figures of the large army behind him. He saw that the guards were all staring at the front to distribute the cans, and gave a look to the people around him.

The hundreds of people who followed took out their weapons and fifty hand crossbows from the carriages, burdens, and baskets.

"Enemy attack!" A guard accidentally discovered that Qin Huaiyu and the others had weapons in their hands, and uttered a heart-piercing cry in fright.

"Kill!" Qin Huaiyu roared, took two steps forward, and knocked down the front guard with a single blow.

"Roar!" Hundreds of people roared in unison, and rushed forward with weapons in hand. Before the guards came back to their senses, they had already chopped down the first 20 people.

Roaring is also a characteristic of Feng Daiwen's military training. Roaring in unison can not only boost morale, but also deter the enemy, which has the effect of winning the first call. Marching all the way, apart from learning Datang dialect, this kind of roar is also one of the exercises.

Li Chongyi, who had been paying attention to the gate of the city, was of course the first to notice the small movements of Qin Huaiyu and others, and quickly made gestures, and everyone approached his weapon.

"Kill!" Yuchi Baoqing saw the attack at the gate of the city, impatiently drew out the Xiuchun knife, kicked the people in front of him, and rushed towards the guard with a loud roar.

"Roar!" The soldiers were all ready, and when they saw the signal to do something, they drew out their weapons without hesitation, roared and rushed towards the guards.

"Ah!" The people around were almost frightened to death by this sudden change, dropped the items in their hands, let out a scream, and ran away in a panic.

Li Chongyi didn't chase down the people, but when he saw Yuchi Baoqing rushing to the back of the city gate guards, he shouted, "Kill! Let me do it!" Li Chongyi rushed towards the city wall with some people.

Feng Daiwen led a large group of people and followed Qin Huaiyu after setting off for a while, riding slowly on a Dian horse, and kept observing the movement ahead with a telescope.

"Hurry up!" Seeing the attack at the gate of the city, Feng Daiwen didn't slow down, raised his hand and shouted loudly. Three thousand people picked out the horses that could be ridden, carrying the warriors on their backs, and galloped towards the gate of the city.

The rest of the soldiers also spread their feet and charged.

Although the Dian horse has long-distance raids and its short-distance sprint ability is not very good, but for this distance, it is only a blink of an eye.

Qin Huaiyu and others had just rushed into the city and cleared the gates, when Feng Daiwen led soldiers on horseback who had already arrived and quickly moved out of the way.

According to the prior order, Feng Daihuo led the team to rush directly towards the center of the city, while Qin Huaiyu and others scattered towards the two sides, looking for defensive soldiers.

Generally, the city is relatively empty near the city gate, which is convenient for large groups of people to gather and enter; secondly, it is also convenient for guarding, so that people will not sneak up on the city wall from the city, and when they are attacked, the enemy will not use rockets. Set fire easily.

(In TV dramas, once you enter the city, there are houses. That’s because the film and television city wants to save space. Think about the houses behind the city walls. They can’t be easily turned over. Catapults hit a lot of residential buildings, and rockets can easily ignite the city...)
Therefore, there will be military camps stationed near the city gates. The battle at the gates of the city has already been discovered by the military camp sentries, and gongs and drums have been sounded. However, the military camps always need orders from the chief, and it takes time to assemble the team.

After Feng Daihuo rushed over, the gates of the barracks on both sides opened, and a large number of soldiers rushed out.

Naturally, Feng Daiwen and the others had noticed it long ago. They also scattered on both sides and did not charge. The shields were in front, and those with crossbows followed behind.

When Feng Daiwen sent out the attack signal, the other city gates also sounded huge horns, and they approached the city gates. They just shot arrows from a distance and did not attack the city, but they also restrained the guards and did not dare to support other places. After all, 3000 people outside the gate is quite a lot. Even if they are not the elite of the Tang Dynasty, they will not lose to the city guards with sophisticated weapons and equipment.

"Let it go!" As soon as the soldiers from the barracks rushed out, Feng Daiwen ordered to release the crossbow arrows.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" The sound of crossbow arrows sounded. Although there were only a few dozen hand crossbows on each side, there were five arrows in a box, and the continuous shooting had the same effect as hundreds of people firing arrows at the same time.

For the guards mainly in leather armor, the hand crossbow was also a deadly threat. Dozens of people were knocked down in an instant, and the guards were stunned in a flash, and they hurriedly searched for shelter.
