Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 330
The Anbei Army has special equipment for strength training, and the food for the soldiers is very rich, and beef and mutton are basically common. The soldiers selected as archers have advantages in arm strength. Most of them can open the traditional three-stone bow. The stone bow is considered to have retained its strength.

After the bowstring is added with a pulley block, the force used to open this standard two-stone bow is actually even less. Strong men like Xi Junmai and Xue Li can open the original six-stone bow at most. With five-stone pulley strings, they can easily pull off continuous shots.

And there are archers who specialize in arm strength training, for this kind of longbow that can be drawn with just a stone and more effort, there is basically no problem with continuous shooting.

At this time, the whole performance of martial arts can be regarded as a real meat scene. This scene of flying arrows made the people onlookers exclaim, those who hide in the stirrups and use the horse shields and shields to protect the horses and their bodies The knights still kept moving forward at a high speed, which made many generals not calm down. Any one of them could become a riding instructor in their army.And if it comes to the battlefield, besides bombarding them with heavy cavalry like Xuanjia cavalry, who else can deal with nimble light cavalry like them?

"Elevation three, continuous shooting."

As the cavalry got closer, the lieutenant commanding the archers was also adjusting the shooting angles of the archers. However, they could only shoot a few arrows at these two angles, because, at a distance of [-] steps, the cavalry could shoot in a blink of an eye. It was almost there, and at this moment, they had no choice but to evacuate quickly to the side, giving way to the target position.

At this time, the light cavalrymen who sat upright again pulled out the sabers around their waists. It is very heavy and suitable for swinging and chopping. Sun Xiangfu saw the shape of this kind of knife in later film and television dramas. Therefore, he let the craftsmen explore and build it. After the cavalry tried it out, it was indeed more suitable for close combat on horseback.

In an instant, the heads of the straw figures set up in the target position flew up, and the wooden stakes, as well as the sawdust that had been cut down, flew across. They can easily bend down and chop off the remaining half of the wooden stakes, because they are all barbarian or semi-bearded people who grew up on horseback, and they can easily do a lot of movements on the back of a fast-running war horse. It can be said that it is fine to cut wood piles with a short body, or to bend down to pick up things on the ground.

"Hehe, the light cavalry of your Anbei Army have brought out their riding skills to the extreme." Li Shimin said to Sun Xiangfu with some praise.

"Your Majesty, thank you! There are few subways in the north, and we can't play heavy cavalry, so we can only work hard on light cavalry. There will be a display of city defense chariots at the back. Your Majesty can order Qianniuwei to guard the viewing seats and the fences of the people. The vertical shield in front of the line, these big guys, are the real weapon to ensure the safety of Shanyang."

After all, Sun Xiangfu gave Li Shimin a look. Li Shimin followed his look and saw Qu Zhisheng who was staring blankly at the soldiers setting up new targets. Mo Hefu and others immediately understood Sun Xiangfu's intention mean.

The chariots displayed by Sun Xiangfu at the military parade in the morning may be very powerful when used. This is the means to dispel the last trace of hesitation in the minds of the tribal leaders.

"Ling, Qianniuwei, left and right Wuwei, set up shields around the shooting range."

Li Shimin's order was issued, and immediately there were soldiers in armor holding large shields and forming a line of defense in front of the guardrail, but the soldiers did not close the shields immediately, this was to let the big guys see the target set up by the soldiers .

Many siege vehicles, defensive shields, and catapults staring at the thick protective wooden boards were set up on the target positions. These things are commonly used equipment when the two armies are fighting, and they are not mixed with water at all.

When everyone saw these things, they couldn't help being a little surprised. Such things should be placed in the attack position!How did you get to the target position?

However, when the horn of attack sounded, everyone understood what was going on.

There is no need to dispatch all of them. The Anbei Army only dispatched two hundred ballistas. One cart and two horses charged towards the target position. During the high-speed running, the Dalian crossbows on these ballistas were continuously designed. , almost every breath, you can shoot an arrow thicker than your thumb, two hundred crossbows fired in salvo, but in the three hundred steps of running, you can shoot more than a thousand arrows , Within the entire range of the target position, a finger-thick defensive wooden board has almost no defensive effect on these heavy arrows, and they were shot to pieces one after another. The battlefield equipment that was placed in the target position just now looks like a mess.

However, the next moment, something even more terrifying happened. Behind the chain ballista was a bed ballista cart, and also two hundred bed ballista carts were fired at the same time.

The heavy arrows with thick arms made the sound of 'woooooooooooooooooooo' in the air, and when these heavy arrows landed, the siege vehicles and catapults were all smashed to pieces in an instant.

Such a large bed ballista, when being pulled by two horses and moving at high speed, can hit the target accurately, which is very rare. It is impossible to do it without frequent practice.

However, this kind of devastating blow to the target position is not the ultimate move of these chariot soldiers.

There were also two hundred chariots, and they rushed quickly behind the bed ballista. When the four heavy-armored fighters on the vehicle were about to launch, they even shouted at the soldiers with vertical shields.

"Combined shield."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The mechanical expansion of the catapult was knocked down with a sledgehammer by Lux, and the pre-made stone bullets flew towards the target area one by one.

The soldiers of Qianniuwei and Wuwei on the left and right hurriedly raised up their large shields, forming an inclined plane, to protect the crowd of onlookers.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The sound of the wood being smashed came from the target position, and at the same time, there was a 'poof' sound as the gravel fell to the ground for the second time.

The stone bombs used by the catapult are exquisite. In fact, they are clay pots. The pots are filled with sharpened and angular gravel. Break it open, and those sharp-edged gravels will shoot out everywhere.

If it is an actual confrontation, these stones may be burned red, or directly filled with kerosene in the clay pot, the killing effect is no less than that of the artillery shells of later generations.

"Da, da, da..."

A lot of gravel shot out, many of them hit the shield and made various noises. Qu Zhisheng and others who were arranged closer to the target position paled in fright, got up one after another, and retreated, although they I didn't see clearly what was going on at the target position, but I knew with my brain that it was uncomfortable to be hit by these stones.

In just about 10 minutes, after six hundred chariots fired a round, they lined up again in front of their respective teams. At this time, the soldiers of Qianniuwei and Wuwei on the left and right pulled down their large shields. When the target looked at it, they all looked horrified.

Among the things that were placed on the target position before, there was nothing good about them. The wooden boards were all turned into pieces of wood, and there was not even a good place on the ground.

If this is a confrontation between the two armies, it is estimated that the enemy army who is fighting with the Anbei army is already dead at this moment, and it is difficult to find a whole body.

Many people who have never seen a war scene feel a little weak at this moment, even for a half-savage guy like Mohefu and Asulang, his heart is beating violently at this moment, and he feels infinite fear.

No one wants to fight against such a powerful army!

"Hahaha..., I have the Anbei Army, so the northern land can be worry-free."

Li Shimin's laughter brought these people who were frightened by the destruction scene back to reality.

Fang Xuanling immediately cupped his hands and bowed to Li Shimin, "I congratulate Your Majesty and the Great Tang."

Seeing this scene, a group of spirit-like figures in the court hall didn't know what they should do now, they all bowed their hands and bowed in worship, "Minister and so on, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Great Tang."

Then, all the soldiers who attended the meeting also came.

"Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to Tang..."

The shouts of 10,000+ people went straight to the sky. Needless to say, those people who were infected by this atmosphere also followed. Now, it is the shouts of tens of thousands of people.

Standing in the crowd, Mo Hefu, A Su Lang and others were very embarrassed in this atmosphere, and couldn't be happy with everyone, just like a child who was abandoned by the boys, very bad Taste, at this moment, this uncomfortable feeling made all the worries in their hearts go away, and they no longer hesitated.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, my family, Wei Department, is willing to submit to the Great Tang and be a subject of the Great Tang forever."

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I, the Mohe tribe, are willing to submit to the Great Tang and be a subject of the Great Tang forever."

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I am willing to submit to the Great Tang and be a subject of the Great Tang forever."

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I, the Khitan tribe, are willing to submit to the Great Tang and be a subject of the Great Tang forever."

The four chiefs, Mohefo, Asulang, Anqi Dagor, and Manggur, rushed to worship Li Shimin first.

However, Li Shimin still wanted to put on airs at this time, just looked at them and kept silent.

"Your Majesty, the surrender of the four barbarians is the Prime Minister of Zhongxing of the Tang Dynasty, please accept him."

Fang Xuanling opened his mouth again, and Sun Xiangfu and the rest of the people in the court naturally booed together, because they were like human beings, they didn't know that the emperor was raising his own value.

"Your Majesty, please accept it."

Seeing all the officials speak for themselves, Mo Hefu and the others were moved for a while, but at this time, Li Shimin, who seemed very reluctant, said, "Since all the subjects of my Tang Dynasty welcome you to join my Tang Dynasty, then I will promise you!" In short, I hope that after you surrender to our Great Tang, you can obey the teachings and be diligent in the affairs of the king, then I will not treat you badly."

His Majesty the Emperor nodded.

The four of Mohefu seem to have accomplished a huge event at this time, and they are full of joy. In the future, they will have a big backer, and, to Datang, they are no longer foreigners.

This is the benefit of the atmosphere, and Sun Xiangfu should come out to do business at this time.

"Your Majesty, I request the imperial court to immediately introduce policies to manage the land, population, and livelihood of the new vassal tribes, so as to help the people in these bitterly cold places get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible."

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's words, Mohefu and the others just wanted to say three times in a row, get rid of poverty and become rich!Who doesn't want to hurry up?
Of course, the hidden pits under the big pie of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich cannot be discovered with their wisdom.
