Chapter 46: First Battle Wins

After returning, Wu Ji stood on the top of the city and looked ahead: "Liao Gou is coming soon?"

"It's almost!" Qi Dabao stood beside Wu Ji: "Commander Wu, I'll summon more than 100 Qiyun Club heroes to obey your orders."

"That's great! That's great!"

Wu Ji was very excited. He knew the riding and shooting skills of the heroes of Qiyun Club. Sending them to fight head-on may not have a great effect, but using their superb archery skills to deal with the enemy is of great use.

When fighting, you must send the most suitable troops to the most suitable places.

"Commander Wu, you let go of the fight!" Zheng Tai also said: "I have been recruiting nearly 500 young men, and I can give you enough reinforcements. The men on the border are not as good as those in the mainland. They hate Liao Gou and want to fight to the death with Liao Gou. Besides, although they have not been trained, they are also good, and they still have a way of fighting."

There are frequent wars on the border. As long as Ding Zhuang is aware of some tips for killing the enemy. Although there is a big gap compared to the regular army, it is much stronger than Ding Zhuang in the mainland.

Guixin City is not big or small, but it is not enough to garrison five hundred troops. With the heroes of Qiyun Club, these young men can be defended. If necessary, they can also mobilize the people to guard the city. With the weapons of Wu's military industry, Guixin City is almost a strong city and cannot be shaken.

"rumble!"

A loud noise came from the front, like a muffled thunder.

"Liao Gou is here!" Qi Dabao roared first, very excited, like a crowing rooster.

"The Liao Dog is here!" Wu Ji was both expectant and nervous. Although he had fought with the Liao army in Xiongzhou, he had never seen the Liao army rushing on the battlefield.

When they heard that the Liao army was coming, the soldiers were energetic and held the hilt of the knife tightly, wishing they could fight the Liao army immediately.

The loud noise became clearer and clearer, and a smooth water line appeared in the horizon and was coming quickly. When I saw it clearly, I saw the Liao army lined up in several rows and was moving forward in a fighting manner. People were cheering, horses were stomping on the horse's hooves, and ice and snow were splashing, and the sound was terrifying, which was very terrifying.

"It's not small!"

Although Wu Ji hated the Liao army, he had to admit that the Liao army was indeed extraordinary. This momentum was so amazing that the Congxin Army did not have this momentum. This momentum can only be trained after experiencing battlefield fighting, and cannot be trained on the training ground.

"Although Liaogou is hateful, it has to admit that it is really difficult to deal with!" Huangfu Song looked at the Liao army that was moving in and exclaimed.

This is what everyone says, and they nodded and praised. As an enemy, you can also praise the advantages of the enemy.

The Liao army was coming closer, and Wu Ji saw it clearly. The Liao army was in a neat formation. Although they were marching, there was no chaos at all. They were vertically formed and horizontally arranged, with very orderly styles.

Wu Ji was very sure that if his Converted Army faced the Liao army, it would be difficult to have a chance of victory. Even if he fought desperately, even if the Converted Army had good equipment, he had not been trained and had not experienced any battles on the battlefield. The Liao army was a tiger and wolf army.

The infantry of the Liao army was pushing siege equipment in the middle, and the two wings were horsemen. The horsemen were cavalry, which was said in the Song Dynasty. The horsemen's horses were extremely majestic, while the riders were wearing armor and carrying hard bows and arrows. They were extremely fierce and murderous. You could tell at a glance that they were well-trained and had a long-lasting elite on the battlefield.

Because the Liao Kingdom owns the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, there are a large number of Han people and a large number of Han craftsmen, which has improved the equipment of the Liao army by several levels. Although the Khitans were still Khitans, they were no longer Khitans who only knew how to use horses and scimitars, but nomadic people armed with the most advanced technology at that time.

Looking at these war horses, Wu Ji's eyes turned green. He wanted war horses too much. If he had war horses, he could train the horse army and turn the convert army into four legs, and its power would greatly increase.

Unfortunately, the Song Dynasty lacked horses, so where did he get horses? The Congxin Army had only a dozen war horses in total, and most of them were inferior horses. They were used to deliver letters, so the good horses had long been sold to He Wanquan.

"It would be great if we had these war horses!" Wu Ji's eyes were full of stars, and he was full of admiration.

"Yes! What we lack the most is war horses!" Huangfu Song was also full of admiration.

Not only were they admired, but which of the soldiers of the Converted Army did not admire them? In the Song Dynasty, horses were very expensive, had horse status, and had a higher status. They were similar to modern people who owned luxury cars. Who wouldn't want to?

Yelu Bodhisattva waved his hand and the Liao army stopped. He was worthy of being a well-trained elite. He stopped as soon as he said that he would stop. Wu Ji praised him again. Yelu Bodhisattva came to the city and shouted at the top of the city: "Listen to the southerners: I am Yelu Bodhisattva of the Great Liao, and I was ordered to attack Guixin City. Open the city gate quickly and welcome the warriors from the Great Liao into the city, serving them with good wine and meat. The service made the warriors happy, and they had your own benefits! If you dare to say a word, I will flatten Guixin City and let you keep your dog!"

The sound was loud, like thunder, and it spread from afar.

"So arrogant!" Wu Ji had never heard such arrogant words. Even the Liao soldiers in the tribute hall were much inferior to him.

"Don't be crazy in Liao Gou!" Qi Dabao snorted angrily, bent his bow and arrow, and shot at Yelu Bodhisattva.

He was good at shooting arrows, and this arrow was like thunder and lightning, with extraordinary power, heading straight to the face of Yelu Bodhisattva.

"The archery skills of the southerners are good!" A glimmer of light flashed in Yelu Bodhisattva's eyes, with no lack of praise, and then he was slandering: "But show off in front of me, in the words of you southerners, it's just a show of awesome!" His right hand stretched out like lightning, slapped the arrow shaft, and the arrow shot missed.

"Southern people, take my arrow!" Yelu Bodhisattva took off his hard bow, put on a strong arrow, aimed at Qi Dabao and shot it with an arrow.

"Swish!" As soon as the arrow was released, it made a sharp roar, very harsh, like thunder, and was more powerful than Qi Dabao's arrow, and shot like lightning.

"Good come!" Qi Dabao was calm and tweaked the bow in his right hand on the arrow shaft, and the arrow flew to the side.

Wu Ji saw it and was so stunning. He was so smart archery. It would be great if I could practice this level. Although Wu Ji's body is much stronger than before, he is still far from this smart archery.

When the two of them fought each other, no one could do anything to each other, and there was no need to compete. Yelu Bodhisattva pulled the reins: "Southern people, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. You are unwilling to seize it, just wait for the chickens and dogs to stay!"

Returning to the formation, he suddenly pulled out his scimitar, pointed at Guixin City, and shouted: "Siege the city! rush into Guixin, kill all, burn them all, grab them all, and don't leave any chickens and dogs!"

"No chickens and dogs are left!" The Liao soldiers let out a shocking roar, containing endless joy. This is what they love to do the most, and they all pounced on them like tigers as they descended from the mountain.

"Liaogou is so hateful! You must teach Liaogou a lesson!"

The arrogance of the Liao army aroused the anger of the soldiers, and they all gritted their teeth and prepared to deal with the Liao army well.

"Prepare to fight!" No matter how angry he was, it would be better to fight fiercely, and Wu Ji ordered loudly.

After the soldiers were ordered, they all took their place and prepared to teach the Liao army a lesson.

The Liao army pushed the goose cart to the city and prepared to attack the city. Although the method of building a ladder to attack the city was rarely used. During this period, with the advancement of technology, the siege equipment became more abundant, and this goose cart was the most powerful siege weapon among them.

"Bed crossbow, shoot!" Huangfu Song ordered loudly.

The bed crossbow was a powerful weapon for defending the city in the Song Dynasty. It was a kind of crossbow with long and thick crossbows, with long range and infinite power.

"Swish!"

The crossbow arrow broke through the air barrier and made a sharp roar, like thunder and lightning, shooting towards the goose cart.

"Bang bang!" The crossbow arrow shot on the goose car, making a shocking loud noise. Large holes appeared in the goose car, but they did not collapse. After a moment of pause, they opened towards Guixin City.

The goose car is very strong. As a siege equipment, when approaching the enemy's city wall, it will inevitably be attacked by the enemy's defending equipment. Therefore, when designing, sturdy is the primary requirement. Although the bed crossbow is great, it is really not easy to destroy the goose car.

Of course, if there are enough bed crossbows to volley at the goose cart, it can still be easily destroyed. Unfortunately, bed crossbows are too labor-intensive and require many people to use. The most powerful bed crossbows require dozens of people to use.

Furthermore, there are not many crossbows in Guixin City, and they cannot form dense crossbow arrows, and they can only be scattered and firing crossbow arrows.

"Stone thrower, hurry up, throw!"

Zheng Tai was also anxious. The bed crossbow was useless, so he could only place his hope on the stone thrower.

Stone-throwing machines have existed since ancient times. By the Song Dynasty, they made great progress and could throw dozens of kilograms of stones. At that time, there was a difference between a star-scattering cannon and a seven-scattering cannon. Stone-scattering cannon is a stone-scattering machine that can shoot multiple stones, which can shoot six or seven pieces at a time.

The seven-pin cannon can only shoot one stone, but it is a very heavy stone, which can weigh forty or fifty kilograms, and is used to destroy strong targets.

The gunners exerted their strength, threw stones out and smashed them at the goose cart. Unfortunately, the stone thrower was not very accurate, and they relied on dense firepower to win. Similarly, it is impossible for a small town like this to have too many stone throwers, but for a few shots, the stones drew a beautiful curve and fell into the empty space.

After one round of shooting, only a few pieces hit the goose cart. Because the goose cart is too strong, it is not a problem to be damaged. It is impossible to destroy it. The goose cart is still driving down the city.

"What should I do?" Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song and Qi Bao saw that the bed crossbow and the stone throwing machine were useless, so they couldn't help feeling helpless. These were the two strongest weapons to defend the city, but they were useless.

"Don't panic!" Wu Ji of course understood what the whole story was and ordered loudly: "Put the goose cart in and let them catch it on the top of the city. Get ready for the thunderbolt bullets and listen to my order!"

"Yes! There is also a thunderbolt!" Wu Ji reminded the dreamer, and Zheng Tai and the others immediately woke up and executed immediately.

The soldiers held the thunder bullet in their left hand and the torch in their right hand, concentrating on waiting for the enemy. As long as Wu Ji gave the order, the Liao army would know that it was powerful.

"Are the southerners scared?" Yelu Bodhisattva looked at the scene in the city and couldn't help but feel very happy and ordered loudly: "Quick attack! Quick attack!"

Zeng Danian saw it and was shocked in his heart. He still remembered how terrifying the thunderbolt was. He hurriedly reminded Yelu Bodhisattva: "General, you must retreat soon, don't go up and die! The thunderbolt is, that's the thunderbolt!"

Before he finished speaking, he smashed the back of the Bodhisattva Yelu and threw it on the ground, whipping the horse whip in his hand hard: "You southerner, how dare you curse the warriors of the Liao Dynasty, you are willing to die!"

The Liao army pushed the goose cart under the city, put down the car arm, grabbed it on the city wall, and the door opened. The Liao army soldiers roared and rushed towards the top of the city.

There is also a kind of city-guarding equipment called a car crash, which means crashing the car. Wu Ji did not intend to use it and ordered loudly: "Thunderbolt bullets, throw them! Throw them at the door!"

The Converted Army lit the thunderbolt bomb and threw it at the goose cart.
