A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Is this Su Shi still so interesting?"

Zhang Fangping put down the letter in his hand and said with a smile: "Chen Gongbi has been struggling with him for a long time, but Su Shi is still unruly. Now he wrote to complain, saying that Fengxiang Mansion is close to Qinzhou, and Su Shi was sent to teach me someday... Ha ha ha ha!"

"Zhizhou!"

While he was laughing, a man came in from outside and said anxiously: "A scout is here to report. It's urgent."

"Let him in."

Zhang Fangping's heart skipped a beat, but he still collected the letters calmly.

The scout was brought in with arrows in his body.

"Zhizhou, Xixia is attacking..."

Zhang Fangping collected the letter and asked, "How many people are there?"

"At least 20,000 cavalry."

Zhang Fangping sighed and said: "Immediately send a messenger to warn those tribes that Li Liangzuo is here. Let them decide whether to follow the Xixia people or follow the Song Dynasty."

Someone went to do something. Zhang Fangping led the people out and said as he walked: "Be on guard, gather together."

A sergeant rushed out and shouted: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"

The bells sounded dull, the trumpets whined, and the entire Qinzhou City was busy.

Groups of sergeants gathered and headed for the city. The city gate had been taken over, and the people who entered the city were running, looking panicked.

No one leaves the city at this time. Anyone who leaves the city at this time will be killed by the sergeant on the charge of being a spy.

"mother!"

A child was looking around blankly on the street. His mother was in the crowd in front, being hugged by the crowd and kept retreating.

This is war!

Zhang Fangping pointed at the child. Someone picked him up and ran towards his mother.

The woman hugged her child and shouted to Zhang Fangping with tears in her eyes: "Thank you Zhizhou."

Zhang Fangping murmured: "Don't thank me... If Li Liangzuo wants to conquer Qinzhou, you will hate me..."

When we reached the top of the city, we could already see smoke and dust in the distance.

"Prepare……"

The huge bed crossbow began to be cocked, and the javelin-like crossbow arrows were loaded into the slots.

"Go to the top of the city!"

Groups of sword and shield soldiers trotted up to the top of the city.

"Array! Array!"

boom!

Everyone stamped their feet together, and there was a killing sound on the top of the city.

"Divine Power Crossbow..."

The crossbowmen appeared.

They formed a formation outside the city and inspected their crossbows and arrows.

The cavalry in the distance are like lines. As the distance gets closer, the lines become thicker and thicker.

"It's Li Liangzuo! Zhizhou, it's Li Liangzuo here!"

Someone recognized the flag.

Are the Xixia people going crazy?

Zhang Fangping shouted: "Calm down! There are mountains of grain and grass in the city, and there are countless arrows. What are you afraid of? I am here, what are you afraid of?"

He is over fifty years old, but his beard and hair are only gray, and he looks very energetic.

The enemy cavalry kept approaching, and finally stopped outside the range of the bed crossbow.

The various sounds of people and horses gathered together, making it extremely noisy.

Someone among the enemy cavalry was shouting, and then they shouted in unison.

Zhang Fangping asked: "What are they shouting?"

Someone nearby said: "Zhizhou, they are asking whether to surrender."

The soldiers around him seemed a little nervous. Zhang Fangping saw this and said calmly: "Ask them, rebel, are you willing to surrender?"

"Rebellion, are you willing to surrender?"

The shouts from the top of the city suddenly suppressed the voices of the Xixia people.

"Rebellion, are you willing to surrender?"

"..."

After shouting three times in a row, both sides became quiet.

"Zhizhou, there are more than 20,000 enemy troops, but there are no large convoys transporting baggage. It can be seen that there are still people and horses behind."

Zhang Fangping said calmly: "This is the first time Li Liangzuo has come out. He wants to encourage those rebellious people. Be prepared and teach him a lesson."

He was looking at Li Liangzuo who was surrounded, and Li Liangzuo was also looking at him.

"Is that Zhang Fangping?"

"yes."

Li Liangzuo was wearing silver armor and a felt hat on his head. He said calmly: "This attack is mainly to show off the victory with Xifan. Of course, if we can capture Qinzhou, then we will do our best to deal with it." Song people..."

"Yes, Xifan is poor. If we can capture Qinzhou, we will be able to make a profit this time."

"In the city of Qinzhou, I heard that grain and grass were piled up like mountains, and there were countless swords, guns and arrows..."

"shut up!"

Li Liangzuo stopped the generals and said, "This is shaking the morale of the army!"

A group of idiots, now saying that the city of Qinzhou is rich in supplies, will definitely make those sergeants jealous.

Why!

You have to study!

He looked at these generals and felt that it was necessary to hire some teachers to teach them.

He looked to the left and right. The soldiers were waiting for the order.

Attack... or wait?

It only took a moment for Li Liangzuo to make a decision.

"Rush and see what Song people are prepared for."

"Blow the trumpet!"

The trumpets sounded long and those Xixia people began to form formations.

"Attack! Attack!"

A general shouted, waving his sword.

"Attack! Attack!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the horses' hooves trampled heavily.

"The Xixia people are attacking! Move out in full force!"

Zhang Fangping heard this exclamation and said coldly: "Tell him to shut up!"

A general strode over and slapped the screaming sergeant awake.

"Prepare the divine crossbow."

Zhang Fangping's order is a bit confusing.

"Zhizhou, shouldn't the Shenwei Crossbow be retained to stop the enemy's follow-up?"

Zhang Fangping shook his head and said: "Li Liangzuo will definitely not go all out when he goes out for the first time, so as long as we hold on, he will have no choice but to retreat in the end. Get the Shenwei Crossbow."

At this time, the Xixia people suddenly roared. Zhang Fangping raised his eyes and saw Li Liangzuo coming out surrounded by people.

A group of armored cavalry guarded him on his left and right. They did not hold shields, because under the power of the bed crossbow, the shields were no different from paper.

"He is taking risks and wants to establish his authority!"

Zhang Fangping slapped the city bricks and shouted: "Crossbow, get ready."

The bed crossbow began to aim...

"Zhizhou, Li Liangzuo is wandering around there, it's hard to reach him!"

Li Liangzuo slyly wandered back and forth inside and outside the shooting range. Those Xixia people were cheering, cheering for their emperor.

Zhang Fangping said coldly: "Is he very brave? Get him!"

Bang bang bang bang!

The thick crossbow arrow flew out, Zhang Fangping stared at Li Liangzuo, and when he saw him riding his horse back, he couldn't help laughing.

"As timid as a mouse, as timid as a mouse, hahahaha!"

There was a sudden burst of laughter at the top of the city.

Li Liangzuo lost face now, and he said coldly: "Zhang Fangping is cunning, how about the other side?"

"Your Majesty, we have to wait a quarter of an hour on the other side..."

Li Liangzuo said coldly: "If possible, after entering the city, I want to see a living Zhang Fangping."

"Yes. Your Majesty, if you let him live, then he won't be able to commit suicide even if he wants to."

"Hey! It's moving, the Song army is in chaos!"

"Why is it so early?"

There was indeed some chaos at the top of the city. Li Liangzuo said with a smile: 'Get ready to attack and contain them. ’

Amid the sound of horns, the Xixia people began to gallop.

They have long bows in their hands, and they can still bend the bow and shoot arrows while galloping.

"Zhizhou, there's something going on over there..."

This is the west. On the opposite east wall, those Song troops are making noise.

"The enemy is attacking from the east and from the west!"

Damn it!

Zhang Fangping pulled out his long sword, raised his head and said: "A volley of arrows are coming from here, suppress Li Liangzuo, I will go now."

A petty official hugged him and shouted: "Zhizhou, this is the main force of the Xixia people, and we need you to take charge!"

The petty officials dared to stop Zhizhou, which was impossible in ordinary times. This shows the panic in Qingzhou city after the sudden encounter with the enemy.

Sit down!

Zhang Fangping knocked him unconscious with the hilt of his sword and shouted: "Follow me!"

The general at the head of the city was stunned.

Zhizhou, who do you call this?

Are they all following you? That's impossible. Can you tell me how suitable it is?

Because it was Zhang Fangping who made the decision, everyone hesitated among themselves and then just sat back and watched as Lao Zhang mounted his horse and left.

"This is inappropriate, hurry up..."

Someone was about to send someone to follow, but there was a scream from behind.

"The enemy attacks..."

Everyone looked back and saw countless cavalry attacking.

"Bed crossbow..."

Bang bang bang bang!

The huge crossbow arrows flew out, and the Xixia people huddled on their horses, praying that they would not be hit by the crossbow arrows.

A crossbow arrow pierced the horse's neck and pierced the Xixia people on the horse together. The man and the horse fell to the ground instantly.

This kind of scene happened several times, but for the Xixia people, who had a large number of people, this loss was nothing.

"Divine Crossbow... let go!"

A black cloud appeared at the top of the city. Li Liangzuo raised his shield without hesitation. The guards in front of him slowed down and prepared to block his arrows.

The dark clouds fell, creating an empty space.

The guard beside Li Liangzuo has been replaced. The original one was shot by a crossbow right under his nose, fell off his horse and was trampled to a pulp.

The crossbows of the Song Dynasty were so powerful!

Li Liangzuo shouted: "Enter the city to snatch the crossbow!"

There are also craftsmen in Xixia, but their craftsmanship is not as good as that of the Song Dynasty.

So he hoped to capture enough crossbows, and then with a backhand strike, he would sweep across Hedong Road.

"Your Majesty, the enemy troops have not moved!"

What?

Li Liangzuo looked up and saw that the top of the city was still densely packed with Song troops, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

When there was a surprise attack in the east, why didn't Zhang Fangping allocate manpower for reinforcements?

He didn't know that it wasn't that Zhang Fangping hadn't thought of bringing people for reinforcements, but that he had forgotten to mention the number of people, so he ended up going alone in embarrassment.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were nervously waiting for the news. When they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves, they couldn't help but lie down at the crack of the door and look out.

"open the window!"

The windows were opened, and when the people saw Zhang Fangping riding alone, they couldn't help but praise: "Zhizhou is so brave and heroic!"

"Zhizhou is heroic!"

"Zhizhou is heroic!"

Amidst a burst of cheers, the morale in the city gradually increased.

The sergeants patrolling the streets stood on both sides, raising their swords in greeting.

"Zhizhou is mighty!"

"Zhizhou is mighty!"

Zhang Fangping rode his horse galloping, but he couldn't express the pain in his heart!

I forgot to mention the number of people just now. Now...how can one person send reinforcements?

When he looked back on the horse, he saw that there was nothing behind him, and his heart immediately dropped.

Is there really no one coming?

He bravely rushed to the east of the city, and there were people at the bottom of the city to help him.

"Zhizhou, where are the reinforcements?"

"No!"

A war has begun in the west of the city. Reinforcements are useless!

Just as he said no, there was a vibration from behind. When he looked back, he saw rows of infantry running towards him.

"Hurry and help me up."

Two sergeants rushed forward with Zhang Fangping on their backs.

As soon as they reached the top of the city, they saw a dark cloud appearing in the distance.

The black cloud is the cavalry.

"so many?"

Zhang Fangping looked closely and felt something was wrong.

It’s still early, UU is reading www.uukaｎshu． Why did NET start making noise first?

"Zhizhou, look..."

Zhang Fangping lowered his head and saw a strange scene under the city.

There were five people under the city, three Song people, two sergeants and one civil servant, but the civil servant was captured. The Xixia people were two sergeants, one of whom was captured.

At this moment, the two Song soldiers unsheathed their long swords. One of them put the long sword on the Xixia man's neck, and the other said to the Xixia man opposite: "Hurry up and let Judge Su go!"

Su Shi stood there trying to calm down. The Xixia man behind him grabbed his back with one hand and put the knife on his shoulder with the other.

The civil servants of the Song Dynasty were all idiots!

This is the experience of the Xixia people, so this Xixia sergeant is very relaxed.

"******"

He roared loudly, and the Song army on the opposite side happened to know some Xixia dialect, so he said: "Judge Su, he said that both sides should release the people together."
