Chapter 135 If Violence Can Solve All Problems
Chapter 135 If violence can solve all problems
"Da da da da!"
As soon as the sun came out, the violent sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the earth.
With Sobud's order, a large number of Tatar cavalry surrounded Weizhen Fort, like a black tide. In each direction, there were a large number of Tatar cavalry pounced on it. Obviously, the Tatars' attack was comprehensive and full, and did not allow any wall of Weizhen Fort to have a chance to rest.
Behind the Tatar cavalry, Sobud and Paroge were looking forward to the front. They were full of expectations for this attack. Half a month had passed, and I hope that the defenders in Weizhen Fort were all hungry. According to general common sense, the morale of the defenders in Weizhen Fort at this time should have fallen to the lowest point and have no ability to resist. If you are lucky, maybe Xu Xingxia would have problems.
"quick!"
"Run quickly!"
There were constant shouts coming.
This is the Tatar cavalry driving away Han slaves and transporting ladders.
Last time, it was the Han slave who was responsible for sending ladders and the like, and this time was of course no exception. Since the first attack was launched, it was not very smooth. Under the intimidation of Xu Xingxia's archery skills, the Tatars had to retreat temporarily. This had a certain impact on the morale of the Tatars. The Han slaves who were already stagnant could not help but become active again.
To be honest, no Han slave is willing to be destroyed and ravaged by the Tatars. No one is willing to continue living a life worse than death. Their deepest wish is to return to the Central Plains alive and be a normal person. Unfortunately, under the power of the Tatars, they were not able to do this. The Ming Dynasty's official army could not help them do this. It was not until the appearance of Xu Xingxia that they gave them a little hope.
Xu Xingxia's archery technique seemed to be gently throwing a stone into their hearts, stirring up a circle of slight ripples. Although the ripples quickly disappeared. However, it is undeniable that their hearts have been moved. Perhaps, Xu Xingxia is not able to rescue them yet. However, they can expect that they can wait until the day when Xu Xingxia has the ability.
"Get out!"
"Come on the ladder!"
Due to the procrastination of Han slaves, some Tatars impatiently kicked Han slaves over to the ground, snatched the ladder directly, and hurriedly went up. The Tatars' military merit rewards were very generous, and every battle, a large number of desperate people were born. They all hoped to snatch them in front of others and enter the Weizhen Fort so that they could plunder the most valuable things.
The eldest prince Sobud has clearly stated that except for a woman named Zhu Hengzhi, everyone who grabs the other things will belong to whom. If anyone can capture Xu Xingxia alive, then directly upgrade to two levels, and the soldier will be promoted to the centurion. If Xu Xingxia is killed, he can also be promoted to the first level, and the soldier will be promoted to the tenth commander. In addition to promotion, there are also a large amount of silver rewards.
In order to capture Xu Xingxia, Sobud certainly spared no expense. In the past half month, Paroge led 500 other Tatar cavalry to harass many surrounding castles and robbed a considerable amount of wealth, with a total price of about 50,000 taels of silver. Half of these wealth was taken out by Sobud to reward his subordinates.
"Xu Xingxia's head, three thousand taels!"
"Xu Xingxia's limbs are one thousand taels each!"
This is Sobud's publicly marked price to stimulate the morale of his subordinates.
Sure enough, with the high silver reward, most of the Tatar cavalry temporarily forgot the terribleness of Xu Xingxia's archery skills, and forgot the companions who fell under Xu Xingxia's arrow that day. They seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, thinking about how to kill Xu Xingxia. Now that the attack is launched, they all want to rush to the front and fight Xu Xingxia first.
The Tatars were in a hurry to die, so the Han slaves naturally enjoyed their fortunes. They handed over the ladders on their shoulders to the Tatars, and followed the Tatars and watched the fun slowly. As a result, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. A large number of Tatar cavalry were running in front, and a group of Han slaves were chasing behind them.
"Press up all!"
"Bastard! Don't crowd together!"
Sobud and Paroge were both screaming loudly from behind.
After learning the lesson of the failure of the first offensive, Sobud and Paroge made up their minds to kill Xu Xingxia even if they paid a certain price. Xu Xingxia's archery skills were terrible and irresistible. However, the Tatars still had a chance. This opportunity was that Xu Xingxia had only one person!
After all, Xu Xingxia is not three heads and six arms. It takes time for him to shoot arrowheads and his strength is limited. He can shoot dozens of people, but he cannot shoot hundreds of people. As long as the Tatars swarm up, climb up the city wall as soon as possible, and engage in close-range hand-to-hand combat with Xu Xingxia, Xu Xingxia will be done. Dozens of Tatars can beat Xu Xingxia to death.
Therefore, from the beginning, Sobud and Paroge invested all their troops. Now, there are only three or four guards around them. All the others rushed forward. This is a desperate attack. If it succeeds, it is naturally a good thing. However, if it fails... the two dare not imagine the consequences.
"The Tartars are coming out in full swing!"
Next to Xu Xingxia, Chi Hu said deeply.
Half a month passed, and the morale of the white-clothed army did not decline, but rose even higher than before. The large-scale attack of the Tatar cavalry did not scare them. Because, in this half month, they became more skilled in the use of explosive packs. This is definitely a powerful tool to deal with the Tatars' siege. They are all looking forward to what kind of commendation they will receive after defeating the Tatars' attack. Promotion and wealth, and glorifying their ancestors are everyone's simplest ideas. Chi Hu is no exception.
Behind Xu Xingxia, there were two strange people. One was Tang Chenniu's nose, and the other was Zhu Hengzhi, who was dressed as a man. The Tartars launched a large-scale attack, and the two finally came out of the teahouse. However, both of them were very obedient, leaning behind the city wall, silently observing the movements around, but never interfering with Xu Xingxia's command. Since they were so sensible, Xu Xingxia thought they no longer existed.
"Your white cloak must be embroidered with several stars. How about it? After the battle, should you come to be my personal bodyguard or continue to be an officer?" Xu Xingxia said with a smile to Chi Hu. His expression was calm, as if he had completely ignored the Tartars who rushed up quickly outside. This calm expression made Zhu Hengzhi nearby secretly admire him. This guy is really a freak!
"I still think it's better to be an officer." Chi Hu said a little silly.
"Okay, you can continue to be an officer! After the battle is over, you will probably be the regular general flag!" Xu Xingxia said with a smile.
"After the battle is over, sir, should he become a deputy family?" Chi Hu said with anticipation.
"Deputy Qianhu? Stop dreaming! The superiors don't cause trouble for me. Even if it's good, you still expect them to promote me! Wake up early!" Xu Xingxia shook her head and said coldly.
"This..." Chi Hu wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. The people above didn't like Xu Xingxia, and the soldiers of the White Army could feel it. This made Chi Hu feel very aggrieved. Damn, why is such a capable person not favored by his superiors? Is there any officer in this world who is more capable and caring about subordinates than Xu Xingxia?
Sometimes, Chi Hu really wanted to take the knife and directly fucked everyone in the upper class and helped Xu Xingxia go up. Of course, I can only think about it. The reality is not that simple. If violence could solve all the problems, Xu Xingxia would have killed all the officials in Ningxia Town long ago. One shot at one shot, how simple it would be.
The most fierce Tartars quickly approached the city wall. The arrows that Xu Xingxia occasionally shot out could not stop the Tatars from approaching. In front of such tide-like enemies, Xu Xingxia's archery skills were like a drop of water in the sea, inconspicuous at all. No matter you have the ability to fly and escape, you can't kill thousands of enemies at once, right?
What's more, when the Tatars attacked, the cover of arrowheads was also quite powerful. Behind the walking Tatars, there were a large number of Tatar riding archers. These archers continued to gallop around the Weizhen Fort and kept firing arrows. There was only a distance of less than twenty feet between them and the Weizhen Fort's walls, and each arrowhead was shot out, which was quite fierce. If it was shot, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Some Tatar infantry even kept firing arrows at the city wall while they were moving. The distance between them and the city wall was shorter, only about ten feet. The arrows they shot were even more fierce. Some arrows shot on the battlements, making a tick sound, and occasionally a large number of sparks would splash out. Because of the excessive force, there were quite a few arrows on the spot. The west side of the tower of Weizhen Fort was filled with buildings, just like a huge hedgehog.
Under the restraint of the Tatars' arrow rain, the defenders of Weizhen Fort could only squat behind the battlements, not daring to expose any part of their body. Even if they want to observe the movements outside, they should be very careful. Otherwise, if they are not careful, they will be hit by a sudden arrow, resulting in a life of no guarantee. Such things have happened many times before.
The arrowheads of the Tatar cavalry are indeed very powerful. Under the suppression of the Tatars' arrow rain, the Weizhen Fort defenders basically have no chance to counterattack. When the Han army encounters such a nation that is good at riding and shooting, they are basically suppressed and beaten. Of course, it is not easy for the Tatars to climb up. Defending the city is the strength of the Han army.
"preparation!"
Mao Shisan shouted quietly.
"preparation!"
Chi Hu also roared quietly.
