Chapter 368 As long as you don't run away

The biggest advantage of the horse is shock absorption, especially when the horse stabs into the enemy's body, the hemp rope wrapped around the pole of the horse can prevent the thick blood from flowing to the handshake position.

Therefore, when Yunchu's Ma Yang pierced an enemy's chest, the powerful force knocked the enemy off the horse and hit an enemy behind him, and the body that lost its strength was also cut off by the long blade of the horse. On the ground, the pole of the horse lance that was originally stretched into a bow will quickly straighten, and experienced horse lance users will continue to kill the enemy with the straightening force of the horse lance.

The contact of the cavalry was only a matter of a moment. The fastest chasers who chased Yang Jing were only a few hundred people. After confronting the bad cavalry, a large number of them fell down. , their weapons are just too bad.

At the beginning of Yun, after Zhong Kui killed through the enemy formation, he turned his head and began to run slowly again, attacking the Mohe cavalry who hadn't fallen from their horses.

From Yunchu's point of view, this is the difference between attacking a moving target and a stationary target.

So, when his horse spear pierced a Mohe man again, the war was basically over.

Standing at the top of the city, Wenrou saw the dust flying in the distance, so she beat the gong, calling Yunchu outside the city to return to the city early.

The unscrupulous people brought their comrades who had just died or were injured in battle, as well as the horses left by the Mohe people back to the city, and a large group of Mohe cavalry arrived.

Horns sounded from the top of the city, and the flag of Tang Dynasty was erected, and the flag of General Yunchu Dingyuan was also fluttering in the wind.

The Mohe people's team stopped within a stone's throw away. Although their army formation was in disarray, Yunchu could still see that the Mohe people had initially possessed the ability to conduct group battles. After all, their horns meant nothing to those Mohe people. There are still restrictions.

There were three or four hundred dead bodies of Mohe people lying on the ground below the city, and the Mohe people in the distance could see this clearly.

Originally, the Mohe people were somewhat silent when they saw the banner of the Tang people at the top of the city, but this silence did not last for too long.

The main reason is that dozens of Mohe people who were not dead were stripped naked, their feet were tied with ropes, and they were thrown backwards from the city wall, screaming heart-piercingly on the city wall.

As a result, the originally silent Mohe people began to stir up a little.

Seeing this, Captain Zhechong Zhang Donghai asked his subordinates to pour oil on the Mohe people, then lit the ropes, and the flames slowly spread to the Mohe prisoners on the city wall.

"what--"

A group of Mohe people seemed to be unable to bear the atrocities of the Tang people any longer. While shooting arrows, they quickly approached the city, trying to save those tribesmen on the city wall as quickly as possible.

Captain Zhechong Zhang Donghai looked coldly at the Mohe people who rushed over, and silently counted in his heart. Right behind him, 1000 or [-] government soldiers had been waiting for a long time with bows and arrows.

When Zhang Donghai gave an order, a dense rain of arrows flew up from the top of the city, and after flying to the highest point, they fell with the sound of "咻咻".

1000 two hundred feathered arrows just enveloped the group of Mohe cavalrymen. Under Yunchu's gaze, those Mohe cavalrymen raised their leather shields and continued to charge against the arrow rain that was about to fall.

The moment the arrow rain fell, the originally neat cavalry team suddenly became chaotic. Countless people fell from their horses, and each of them fell, and the arrow rain had an intrusion opening, causing more arrows to attack. The rain fell on the cavalry, or the horses.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Donghai showed a smile on his face, waved his hand again, and replaced the soldiers with crossbows. All of them rushed to the top of the city. After the crossbows were fired, they retreated quickly, changing to the second row, and then the third row. In turn, the crossbow arrows shoot non-stop.

The cavalry of the Mohe people became more and more sparse, and when they reached the city, there were only a few of them. Even so, these cavalry still swung out their waist knives, cut off the burning rope, and let those tribesmen who were covered with oil come out of the city. The head fell off.

Immediately, these cavalrymen who gave up their defense were shot like hedgehogs by the dense crossbow bolts with men and horses.

Those who could be rescued were, after all, very few. When Zhang Donghai waved the flag in his hand, dozens of archers stepped forward and lit rockets on the torches. The falling Mohe people ignited it with rockets, and at this moment, those Mohe people on the city wall were finally ignited by the winding flames, and screamed, even the crows waiting to eat carrion had to flap their wings and fly away.

It was obvious that the Mohe people were completely enraged by the brutal methods of the Tang people. Heavy drums sounded in their ranks, and Mohe people's infantry appeared. Under the cover of wooden shields, they slowly approached the city wall.

Gentle and strange asked Yunchu: "Why didn't they come over quickly?"

Yun Chu said: "They will start running only when they are within the range of the arrows. Running too early will disrupt the team and consume energy. After a while, they will climb the city and fight us hand-to-hand."

She smiled softly and said, "When it rains, run faster, can you be less irrigated by the rain?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Impossible."

"Why are you so sure? Did you say it casually?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "What you are asking is actually a math problem."

Gentle and puzzled: "Is your arithmetic better than mine?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "You forgot, when I was in the Imperial College, the doctor who taught us arithmetic never paid attention to me."

"Isn't it because you refuse to change after repeated admonition?"

"No, it's because his arithmetic is not as good as mine."

While Yunchu was chatting and laughing with Rourou, Zhechong Captain Wang Defa came over and saluted with cupped fists.

Yun Chu untied a bronze medal from his waist and handed it to Wang Defa. Wang Defa got the plaque and showed it to a group of people standing under the city wall. Immediately, twelve ballistas were pushed into the firing holes under the city wall by the soldiers. Lift off the covering cloth on the ballista, and then, seeing this group of strong guys, Yunchu started to turn the capstan, and as the capstan was tightened, eight huge crossbows placed side by side on the bow bed, front and back, slowly moved Open up.

Immediately, crossbow guns as thick as spears were placed on the sliding bed, three at a time.When the winch stopped ringing, a man with the appearance of a fire chief looked up at Wang Defa who was standing on the city wall.

Lieutenant Zhechong Wang Defa waved the red flag in his hand violently. Yunchu, who was sitting on the top of the city, heard a rush of humming, followed by a burst of tearing, and 36 crossbow arrows shot parallel to each other from chest-high shooting holes. It covered the Mohe people who had already started running.

Yunchu's army is not equipped with such large-scale equipment as the eight-ox crossbow, which requires ten people to operate. Yunchu is equipped with a light sliding bed crossbow, which can be operated by only five people, even if it is such a thing , nor is it standard equipment for all Zhechong mansions in the Tang Dynasty, only some very wealthy Guanzhong Zhechong mansions have it.

And the two Zhechong mansions belonging to Wannian County have equipped twelve of them at one go, which is already the crown of Zhechong mansions in the Tang Dynasty.

According to legend, the eight-ox crossbow has an astonishing range of three miles, and it is said that one shot has the power to penetrate gold and stone. However, the sliding bed crossbow equipped by Yunchu is not bad, and a crossbow can only penetrate more than three people. Stop killing.

"The 36 coins are missing."

After seeing the sliding bed crossbow firing a round of volleys, Yunchu sighed and said to Rourou.

Looking at the enemy army emptied by crossbow guns gently, said: "It seems worth it."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Unless we can receive enough benefits from the Mohe people, we will definitely lose money."

Fortunately, this gurney crossbow volley effectively disrupted the formation of the Mohe people and interrupted their attacking rhythm, allowing the crossbowmen and archers to fire a few more rounds of covering arrow rain, basically achieving The purpose of salvo crossbow gun.

The Mohe people's horn sounded again, and those Mohe people who were about to charge to the edge of the city wall retreated one after another, but many people were left behind by the crossbowmen at the top of the city. When they fled, they forgot that there were crossbow arrows behind them.

Zhong Kui, who had been observing the battle, suddenly said to Yun Chu: "After the Mohe people's second attack failed, I want to lead five hundred cavalry to attack their army formation."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "500 people still can't shake their tens of thousands of troops, we should attack with the whole army."

Gentlely said: "Yes, we can't let them shrink back, otherwise, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity."

Zhang Donghai said: "As long as they can shake their army formation, it will be easy. At this time, it is necessary to slash the generals and capture the flag."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Leave Wang Defa and 500 men, and the rest are ready to attack."

Seeing everyone getting busy, Yun Chu sighed secretly, if Li Ji had given him the gunpowder and thunderbolt earlier, there would be no need to use such things to shake the enemy's formation.

Just when everyone was ready to attack and the cavalry had hidden behind the city gate, waiting for the Mohe people to attack with the whole army when they failed to attack again, the Mohe people stopped attacking again.

They began to retreat, and after withdrawing for a mile, they began to set up camp.

Yunchu also saw that the sun was going west, so he ordered to take turns to rest.

The Mohe people seemed very smart. After losing more than 2000 people, they finally calmed down and retreated a little farther, but they refused to go. This meant that they were preparing to make siege equipment.

As long as the Mohe people don't leave, Yunchu will not be disappointed. He sends the peasants out to clean up the battlefield, and kills the Mohe people who are not dead. He also takes back the crossbow arrows, feather arrows, and crossbow spears that were shot today.

The weather was too hot, and Yunchu was worried about a plague, so he asked the peasants to pile up the corpses and burn them on fire.

When night came, the five small hills piled up by the corpses of the Mohe people began to burn, and there was a lot of crying at the Mohe people's camp.

It looks like they won't be able to sleep tonight.

After Yunchu inspected the city defense, when he took off his armor to rest, the three Wang Zhao brothers led Yang Jing to come.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Jing knelt down and kowtowed.

Yunchu looked at Wang Zhao in confusion, and Wang Zhao quickly said, "The county lord went out of the city to fight and rescue Yang Jing in person today. Yang Jing is very grateful."

Yunchu helped Yang Jing to his feet and said, "Those who work for our Great Tang, Great Tang will never let him down, such a trivial matter is nothing to worry about."

Yang Jing knelt down again and said: "In the past, I just heard that the county magistrate never betrayed others. Today, the magistrate of the county respects benevolence and righteousness. Please allow Yang Jing to do the work of a dog and horse for the county magistrate."

Yun Chu laughed and said, "I heard that the Yang family in Goguryeo was also a prominent eunuch. Is your Yang surname the same as this Yang's surname?"

Yang Jing kowtowed again and said, "I am the third son of Yang Wanchun, the former guard of Anshi."

Yun Chu was surprised and said: "Back then, when I went to the east of Emperor Taizong, I attacked Anshi City for a long time, and the weather turned cold, so I led the troops back to the country for a truce. I heard that your father once praised Taizong's wisdom on the top of the city, and was rewarded. There are hundreds of pieces of brocade, is there such a thing?"
