Monument Yangmen

Chapter 696 The first battle against the Liao Kingdom

No need to ask, the two of them knew that the city owner must be a Liao.

He probably wanted to build a pasture that a Liao nobleman should have on his own territory, and then graze cattle and horses.

It's just that he perfectly destroyed the purpose of the hills on both sides of the city.

Yang Wu smiled proudly at Yang Da, "I'll go first, and I'll leave this idiot City Lord to you."

Yang Wu led the Iron Cavalry Army under his command, as well as the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army Reserve, crossed the hills easily on horseback.

And the Liao nobles on the top of the city could only grit their teeth and watch.

Yang Wu led the iron cavalry to the back of the city, chose a place that was conducive to the battle of the iron cavalry and could block the enemy's reinforcements, and easily cut off the connection between this city and other cities.

After Yang Da reconfirmed that Yang Wu had cut off the way for the enemy's reinforcements, he raised his hand and ordered the revival army ready to attack at any time, "Beat the drums! Siege the city!"

"Dong dong dong dong..."

Eighteen big men threw off their arms and beat the drums that were bigger than their waistlines.

The big drum made a dull sound.

A "General's Order" immediately spread to the ears of all the soldiers of the revival army.

"Kill!"

Making achievements is just around the corner.

Following Yang Qi has meat to eat, Yang Qi will not treat his brothers badly, this is the consensus of all soldiers in the four northwestern prefectures.

The meritorious service system of the four prefectures in the Northwest is very special. Heads are only linked to military merit. If you accumulate a certain amount of military merit, you can be promoted, but you will not be rewarded with money or land for how many enemies you kill.

Why do some soldiers who have no hope of promotion, or just want to be a wealthy soldier in the army, still kill the enemy so bravely?

Because there is another one in the meritorious service system of the four northwestern prefectures.

You can get [-]% of the seized income.

In other words, if you grab 100 taels, you can get 30 taels.

Of all the ways to accumulate wealth, robbery is always the fastest way to accumulate wealth.

It is illegal to rob the enemy in the four prefectures of the Northwest, but robbing the enemy on the enemy's territory is not called robbery, it is called seizure.

If you want to take the enemy's money, the enemy can't obediently hand it over, so there is only one way left.

kill him!Then rob him of all his money.

There are rangers who rob to get rich first, and almost all the soldiers and horses in the four northwestern prefectures know that robbing is the most profitable.

When they are fascinated by money one by one, they are the fiercest soldiers and the cruelest bandits.

die?
They don't care!
Especially those with wives and children don't care the least.

If this life is lost on the battlefield, the government will issue a large amount of pension, which will be delivered to his wife and children in person.

The most important thing is that my children will not become orphans and live on the streets.

The government will help you raise your children and spend money for them to read and write.

From the beginning of the battle, it entered the most tragic stage.

The soldiers who rushed to the front climbed to the top of the city without fear of death, and those in front followed after they died.

No one is afraid of death, and no one is afraid of the battlefield, the Shura field.

Those who have experienced the battle of Fuxingguan, they have seen the real Shura field.

Compared with the cruelty of that war, this place is considered drizzle.

The gunpowder soldier carrying the animal skin bag rushed under the city gate, lit the gunpowder jar, and threw it under the city gate.

"Boom!"

A blast.

A hole was blown in the wooden door, but the door was not blown open.

Looking through the blasted hole, you can see that there are thick and hard big blue stones piled up behind it.

The sound of shouting and killing continued, and seven or eight gunpowder soldiers in charge of blasting looked at the big bluestone in front of the door and gathered together to think about countermeasures.

"What should we do? The general is still counting on our gunpowder soldiers to show their might. The two balls on the top of the city looked at the killing, but they didn't do anything. They were all waiting for us to blow open the city gate, and then rushed to the city. Go in and grab something."

"If the city gate can't be blown open, we will be whipped. Attacking a city by force will cause so much damage. We have few people, so Huhou gave us a lot of gunpowder."

"How about a little more gunpowder, the yellow ones one by one, the one the general said to use with caution, use it."

"Yes, just use that. I still don't believe that they can stuff everything inside into stones."

"alley!"

"..."

Seven or eight gunpowder soldiers quickly took out an elaborate cube-shaped thing.

He piled up six for the gate of the city in one breath.

"Pfft~"

After lighting the fire, seven or eight gunpowder soldiers withdrew to four or five feet away according to the previous drill.

"Boom!"

"..."

There were two shocking explosions.

The whole city was shaking.

A large hole was blown out of the gate of the city.

Seven or eight gunpowder soldiers were buried in the soil by the gravel and mud kicked up by the gunpowder.

They hadn't used granulated gunpowder before.

Yang Qi temporarily equipped them with this thing, and asked the supervisor in the army to tell them to use it with caution.

A few guys don't know the power of granular gunpowder. After ignition, they are still so close, so it's normal to be buried in it.

A big guy was the first to arch out of the soil.

After he came out, he spit a few mouthfuls and sighed with great emotion, "It's too fierce! The Sa family likes such strong and fierce things."

After sighing, he found that his other brothers were still buried in the soil.

He didn't care about the scratches on his forehead from the gravel, and quickly pawed at his brother with both hands.

After several people helped each other, they were all dug out.

The big guy cheerfully said to his brothers: "It's too fierce! Good guy! From now on, I will take care of this thing."

"What do you say?"

"what?"

"..."

A few guys were a little tinnitus from the bombing, and were temporarily deaf.

They didn't wait until they regained their hearing.

Seeing the city gate blast a big hole, the soldiers of the revival army swarmed into the city.

When it comes to grabbing things, there are quick hands and slow hands.

Kill the enemy?
The city is broken, and killing the enemy is a matter of convenience.

The speed at which the soldiers and horses of the four prefectures in the Northwest swept the battlefield was the first among all countries.

When Yang Da straddled his horse into the city, the soldiers of the revival army came out happily with their own captured one by one.

There are fifteen thousand soldiers and horses defending the city.

More than 6000 were slaughtered by them.

Nearly [-] captives remained.

In addition to those Liao nobles in the city, etc., there are tens of thousands of people.

There were tens of thousands of prisoners suddenly, which gave Yang Da a headache.

Since their brothers started fighting in the four northwestern prefectures, they have confiscated prisoners.

When discussing the crusade against the Liao Kingdom, they did not mention how to place the prisoners.

According to Shang Qingzi's evil star, he has never had any prisoners in wars, and prisoners are a burden.

Yang Da didn't think about taking prisoners either, but who told the Liao army in the city not to fight.

Before they did a serious job, they voted.

How to deal with so many captives?It must be cumbersome to carry.
