Da Song: The opening game killed Ximen Qing

“Crossbowmen advance, suppress the city head!” Yang Xiong, commander of the Fifth Army, ordered.

Teams of crossbowmen approached the city wall.

The divine arm crossbow in their hands had already been raised and aimed at the head of the city.

As the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Bianjing City was naturally very strong. There are quite a few trebuchets and crossbows on the city walls. But although these weapons are weapons to kill the enemy, they also need someone to operate them! If no one uses them, these weapons are mere decorations and have no effect.

“Drop the arrow!”

“Phew! Shout! Shout! ”

With an order from a crossbowman general, the crossbowmen began to shoot arrows.

One by one, sharp arrows shot at the city wall like raindrops.

Many soldiers of the Song Army fell to the ground one after another.

When the crossbowmen of the Liangshan rebels cleaned the city with a rain of arrows, the Song army on the city wall did not even have the courage to fight back, they rushed one after another, and even many soldiers fled directly to the city despite the obstruction of generals and officers.

It is no wonder that the Dragon Guard Army is a force that has just been rebuilt after all. Most of the soldiers are just joining the army. Even the training has not been completely completed, so it is difficult to imagine that they want to deal with the Liangshan rebels with strong combat effectiveness.

Wu Song looked at the performance of the Liangshan rebels and was very satisfied.

In the era when there were no muskets, the divine arm crossbow with an effective range of up to one hundred and eighty meters was undoubtedly very bullish. With the powerful firepower output of the crossbow, it can shoot enemies into hedgehogs. Even in the face of the cavalry of the nomads, under the tactics of the large phalanx, they can resist it, making it pay an extremely heavy price.

Of course, if the Great Phalanx encountered the enemy’s heavy cavalry, it would also suffer heavy losses.

The emperor’s trusted guards and iron harriers of the Western Xia people are heavy armored cavalry. Even the war horses were covered with heavy armor.

However, there were not many heavy armored cavalry of the Xixia people, and the two heavy armored cavalry only had 3,000 men each.

In this regard, it is not even comparable to the Liangshan cavalry.

Liangshan Cavalry Each cavalry corps had two heavily armored cavalry regiments. Now the First and Second Cavalry Corps have been formed, with a total of 10,000 heavily armored cavalry. Once the Third and Fourth Cavalry Corps were formed, the number of heavily armored cavalry would double.

At that time, even in the face of the heavy armored cavalry of the Western Xia people, the Liangshan rebels would be able to defeat it.

“Stop shooting!” Wu Song ordered.

After Wusong’s order was transmitted, the crossbowmen stopped shooting arrows. But the Song army at the head of the city had already suffered heavy losses at the moment.

“Send someone into Bianjing City, tell the commander of the Dragon Guard Army, Lu Jia to ask, surrender immediately, and the commander of this great can make him a military commander.” Other officers and soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army, who are willing to surrender, can also join the rebel army. If you resist stubbornly, once the rebels enter Bianjing City, they will definitely destroy Lu Jiawen and the others! Wusong ordered.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Yang Xiong, commander of the Fifth Army, replied.

The reason why Wu Song wanted to force down the Dragon Guard Army was due to two considerations.

On the one hand, after all, the Dragon Guard Army has 50,000 people, and they are all young and strong people who have just been recruited. Although they are now showing cowardice and their combat effectiveness is rubbish. However, if it can be reorganized and trained by the Liangshan rebels, it can be completely transformed. The 50,000 people of the Dragon Guard Army, plus some backbone soldiers and officers of the Liangshan Rebel Army, could be completely reorganized into two infantry corps. This will further improve the strength of the Liangshan rebel army.

On the other hand, Bianjing is quite a prosperous city. Wusong didn’t want to destroy this place with a big war.

Although Wusong did not think that Bianjing City was suitable as a capital, it was the most prosperous city in the world and the most populous city in this era. It would be a pity if it were destroyed by the fires of war like this.

What’s more, Wu Song coveted the wealth in Bianjing City.

The military expenditure of the Liangshan rebels for a long time in the future, and even the expenditure on government affairs, I am afraid that it will have to come from Bianjingcheng.

Therefore, Wu Song naturally hoped to capture Bianjing City by peaceful means.

An officer of the Liangshan rebel army accepted this task and went to Bianjing City with a white flag.

The Dragon Guards in Bianjing City were wondering at this moment why the Liangshan rebels had stopped attacking.

You know, the attack of the Liangshan rebels just now caused them to suffer heavy losses. If the Liangshan rebels continued to attack, they would definitely not be able to resist.

“General, a Liangshan thief army is coming over with a white flag.” A Dragon Guard soldier reported.

“Ask him what he wants to do.” The general ordered.

The soldier cautiously poked his head out and shouted outside, “Who are you?” What do you want to do? ”

“Under the order of the Great Commander, I want to see the chief general of the Dragon Guard.” The officer of the Liangshan rebel army responded.

“General, he wants to see General Lu.” The soldier said.

“You let him wait, I’ll go and pray to the general.” The general said.

“Yes, General!”

Subsequently, the general led down the city wall, found Lü Jiawen, who was hiding in the city, and told him about it.

After Lu Jiawen learned of this, he thought about it for a while.

Wise and calculating, he had already guessed what the Liangshan Rebels wanted to do.

However, he still planned to meet with the messengers of the Liangshan rebels.

The current Dragon Guard Army can be said to be in danger.

The Liangshan rebel army is so strong, if it continues to hold on, isn’t it seeking its own death?

Although he was a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, he was deeply favored by the emperor. However, if he wanted to make him worthy of his own little life, he was still unwilling.

Soon, the officers of the Liangshan Rebel Army were hoisted into Bianjing City by the Longwei Army hanging basket and saw Lü Jia asking.

“General Lü, in Lower Mengyuan, is now a battalion commander of the Fifth Army of the Liangshan Rebel Infantry. Under the order of the Great Commander, there are some things I want to tell the general! Meng Yuan said.

“Just say anything!” Lu Jia asked and did not go around in circles.

“The Grand Commander hopes that the general will abandon the secret and turn to the light. With the current strength of our Liangshan rebel army, it is not difficult to break through Bianjing City. It’s just that the Grand Commander is benevolent and does not want to see the deaths and injuries of innocent people, nor does he want to destroy the city. The Grand Commander promised that if the general could abandon the secret and turn to the light, he could make the general the commander of an infantry corps of our Liangshan rebel army. The entire Longwei army, except those who were loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, could join the Liangshan Rebel Army. If the general does not agree, then once my Liangshan rebels attack Bianjing City, the general will be raided and exterminated! Meng Yuan said all the words.
