- Although the navy sailed with all their strength, the fully loaded fleet still could not outrun the fast horse. Shunzhou's fast horse entered Xingqing Mansion first.
The fleet was still several miles away from the city, and fast horses kept coming to the shore to inquire about it.
Seeing this, Han Shizhong said helplessly: "It seems that Xingqing Mansion has learned the news."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Then we will let the soldiers and horses of Xingqing Prefecture see our elite soldiers in Daliang. The fleet will dock and the army will form a formation."
Li Jun listened to the prince's order and commanded the fleet to dock.
As soon as the springboard hit the shore, Chao Yong was the first to walk to the shore.
A Xixia cavalryman who was flying in the distance to inquire about the news saw Chao Yong getting off the boat. He immediately screamed strangely, turned his horse and ran towards this side. At the same time, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, preparing to make a contribution.
Chao Yong was also thinking about getting a war horse to travel. When he saw this guy coming to his door, he was also overjoyed. He opened his Overlord Bow and shot an arrow at the visitor.
When the Xixia spy saw Chao Yong firing an arrow, he was about to dodge, but the iron arrow had already arrived in front of him, and he screamed and fell off his horse.
However, the war horse ran forward for dozens of steps before stopping.
Chao Yong saw that the war horse was no more than ten feet away from him, so he quickly stepped forward to grab the horse.
Seeing Chao Yong approaching, the war horse was about to run. Chao Yong had already jumped on the horse with a sprint, and clamped his legs hard to make the war horse calm down.
When two party members riding sentries nearby saw Chao Yong snatching a horse, they whistled and rode towards Chao Yong together.
"die"
Chao Yong rode up to meet him, firing two arrows in a row.
As soon as the bowstring sounded, two iron arrows had penetrated the chest and abdomen of the party member. The powerful bow power of the Divine Arm Bow and the huge iron arrows allowed Chao Yong to shoot into the chest and abdomen at will without having to shoot at vital points. As long as the shot hit, there would be a big hole, which could be fatal. Xixia's sophisticated iron armor could not stop the powerful shot of the divine arm crossbow.
Seeing that Chao Yong could shoot someone more than a hundred steps away, the cavalry sentrying out in the distance did not dare to go up and die. Just observing the soldiers and horses of Daliang from a distance.
Chao Yong rushed up and led the two war horses. Seeing that no one came closer, he had to lead the horses back.
"Liu Qi, Han Shizhong."
The two of them heard Chao Yong calling and ran over quickly.
Chao Yong handed over the horse's reins and said with a smile: "Go grab some more horses and bring them back."
"yes."
The two of them took the reins of the horses, got on their horses, rode around in circles a few times, got acquainted with the horses, and then headed towards the Xixia spies cruising in the distance.
The fierce-natured party member is no longer the sharpshooter he was before. Becoming bolder again, two men who felt they were proficient in bow and horse came forward.
Han Shizhong also used a strong bow. Although the range was not as good as Chao Yong's Overlord Bow, it was still much farther than the standard bow and arrow. Before the Xixia people even drew their bows, Han Shizhong had already shot one man off his horse with one arrow.
Liu Qi¡¯s arrows are mainly accurate. The power of the bow is not very strong, and almost at the same time, he opened his bow and set an arrow with the remaining Xixia man.
Although the remaining Xixia people were a little frightened, they also knew that it was almost impossible to escape from Han Shizhong's strong bow. Only by shooting two people would they have a chance to survive. Therefore, he concentrated more and wanted to shoot Liu Qi first, who had already drawn his bow and arrow.
"die"
The two men loosened their strings almost at the same time, and their sharp arrows shot towards each other's throat.
The Xixia spy turned his head to flash the sharp arrow, and then went to the arrow pot with his right hand to get the arrow. But he was horrified to find that there were two arrows behind him, one on the left and one on the right. No matter which way he hid, he would face the second arrow. It was too late to dodge, and it passed through the throat.
Liu Qi shot three arrows in succession. The sharp arrow had already arrived in front of him, among the lightning and flint, he grabbed it with his right hand.
The two men stepped forward and snatched the horse. He was tied to the saddle and rushed towards the spies in the distance.
The Xixia spies did not come again to die. With a whistle, they all rode off to Xingqing Mansion.
Although the people of Xixia are brave and brave, seeing that Liang's men are all talented generals, they will not be stupid enough to risk death.
Liu Qi and Han Shizhong could not catch up, so they had no choice but to ride back.
The two of them had just approached, Zhang Qing had already approached and said: "The general's flying rocks can only be used on horses."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Then give the horses to General Zhang and General Sun."
Although Yao Pingzhong was a little unhappy, he was defeated by Zhang Qingfei that day, and he was also speechless. Sun Li was the commander of ten thousand men. He was the one with the highest military rank among those who went on this expedition, so naturally he should have horses.
The army formed a formation and headed towards Xingqing Mansion.
Xiao Heda, who had just taken over the military power in the city, heard from Shunzhou that a dozen large ships were coming from the waterway to Xingqing Mansion. He was not in a hurry to report to Li Renai, but sent dozens of fast horses to investigate.
I heard that there were indeed soldiers and horses attacking.Then he quickly entered the palace to repay Li Renai.
When Li Renai heard that Daliang soldiers and horses actually marched straight in to attack Xingqing Mansion, he couldn't help but said in shock: "There are only more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in the city, can Xingqing Mansion hold it?"
Xiao Heda said confidently: "Don't worry, Lord, I have sent out sentries to investigate carefully. Liang's troops only number about five thousand. It is undoubtedly a fantasy for five thousand people to attack Xingqing Mansion. Moreover, Liang's troops have come all the way. The exhausted division will finally ask for orders to lead troops out of the city to defeat the enemy, so as to prevent Liang's troops from harassing the city."
Li Renai said: "Liang Guo's soldiers and horses may have come well-prepared. They may have fallen into the enemy's trap when they went out to meet the enemy. I think it is safe to hold on and wait for reinforcements. When Dingzhou, Huaizhou, Jingzhou, and Shunzhou are surrounded by soldiers and horses, then We can easily defeat the invading enemies."
Xiao Heda has just taken control of the military and is trying to build some military exploits to consolidate his power. Although he also felt that Li Renai's words were reasonable, he found it difficult to accept them. If he is frightened by five thousand Liang soldiers and cannot leave the city, even if the Liang soldiers and horses are finally wiped out, it will not have much to do with him. The soldiers and horses in the city will still think that he is afraid of fighting, which will be detrimental to his future control of military power.
Xiao Heda said: "According to the spies' reports, Liang's ships were full of soldiers and they probably didn't bring much food and grass. If we can't hold on, Liang's soldiers and horses will definitely plunder food and grass outside the city, and then they can continue to attack the city."
Li Renai said: "Even if they have food and grass, it will not be difficult to destroy them when the soldiers and horses from the four states encircle them."
"If Daliang's firearms can really blow through the city wall, I'm afraid the city won't be strong enough to hold on."
As the defeated army retreated, large-beam firearms that sounded like thunder and could explode city walls had spread in Xixia.
Li Renai then remembered the firearms and said in a panic: "If we can't hold on, wouldn't it be even more uncertain to go to war? If we lose our troops and generals, there will be no one left to defend the city."
Xiao Heda said: "After the general heard about Liang Guo's firearms, he thought hard about countermeasures. If he stood still, even the iron kite would not be able to withstand the firearm attack, but if the cavalry dispersed the attack, the firearms would not kill many people. As long as When the cavalry rushed into the formation, their firearms were disabled."
Li Renai thought for a while and said, "What about the Han people's divine arm crossbow?"
