The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 879 Despicable and shameless

Gaoping City, the capital of Xixia thieves, is now fighting a different kind of war in the middle of the night. Originally, Lao Niu and others planned to kill the patrol team to gain some time to secretly rescue as many people as possible.

It's a pity that Li Jiyuan, the guard, is not a scumbag or a waste. The patrolling people are not only scattered on the city wall, but the number is also very large. At the next moment, Lao Niu had no choice but to start a backup plan.

The backup plan is rough and not much technical, and the four gates are carried out at the same time, which is to use the crossbow battalion to suppress the defenders on the city wall, and then rob people on a large scale!
The big soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city wall at the fastest speed, and the soldiers behind them piled up bags of sandbags together, and then a special marksman was responsible for shooting off the ropes used to hang people on the city wall, although they were from as high as two feet. The distance to fall seems dangerous.

However, the height of the people and the fact that they were hung on two-thirds of the city wall, and the sandbags cushioned them, the damage was minimized.

The sudden attack caught the defenders on the city wall off guard. The first reaction of the Han people who were forced to defend was to avoid the attack. This is human nature, so most of the casualties were the Xixia defenders, which inevitably caused some chaos.

"Hurry up! Aim at the rope!" Lao Niu personally set up a bow and archery and began to shoot the rope. It is conceivable that the difficulty of archery is impossible without a master of archery!

Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in the Song Dynasty bow camp is archery masters, and there are quite a few who can be called sharpshooters!

I saw the Han people falling down like dumplings, and there were sudden screams. From this point of view, Lao Niu's original plan was not feasible at all.

Because as mentioned above, most of the people who are hung are women, old people, and children!
What creatures like women love most is to scream. Even if the sound of the patrolling soldier's body falling did not alert the defenders, the woman's instinctive scream would instantly break the silence of the night.

When the person landed on the ground, the next moment the soldiers who were originally carrying sandbags immediately turned into carrying ordinary people, no matter what 21 or [-] they picked up and left, it was a race against time!

When the chaos on the city wall is over, start throwing logs, stones and other city defense equipment, which cannot be defended by big soldiers.

Of course, this is also the purpose of suppressing the firepower of the Bow and Crossbow Battalion, to cause as much damage and chaos as possible on the city wall. People who have not undergone long-term training will inevitably be confused by such intensive attacks.

Even so, the fire suppression is not the strongest, because some sharpshooters want to 'release' the people, and more importantly, they are afraid of accidentally injuring their own soldiers and people. The Eight Ox Crossbow and the Trebuchet have been sealed, and there are no more sharp weapons. The efficiency of equipment fire suppression is much lower.

"Set up a shield for me! Reflect! Throw down the stones and logs!" Li Jiyuan commanded loudly. He thought that the Song army was attacking the city at night, and the suppressed fire made him dare not look down at the city wall. Case.

"Puff! Puff!" At this time, there were still some Xixia elites who stayed behind in the capital in Gaoping City. After hearing Li Jiyuan's order, they began to prepare to fight back, but they were shot and killed as soon as they appeared.

"Quick! You Han people also go to help! Otherwise, you will be killed!" Li Jiyuan saw that the Xixia elite was beaten so hard that they couldn't lift their heads, and immediately sacrificed consumables.

"Ah! Ah!" The power of the city defense equipment is still very strong. The big soldiers can't defend against the impact of rolling logs and rocks. However, the death rate on the spot is relatively low when blocking with shields. The wounded soldiers are immediately carried to the rear, but The people who just fell were not so lucky. Some were directly killed and more were injured. The most important thing is that there are many hard objects on the sandbags.

"Quick! Hurry up! Carry the wounded soldiers back! Don't just move these stones and logs away!" The old cow yelled anxiously from the bottom of the city, and shot another piece of civilians from his hand and fell down.

Some people may ask why it is not stupid to use a bow and arrow to shoot around the things that can be solved by climbing up without a ladder?

Good question, if you only need to save one or two, the ladder will be easy to use, but now it can't be done!

As mentioned earlier, the ladders are not the ordinary ladders in the movies, but special ladders with hooks on the head. Now that the people are hanging outside the city wall, the gap is very small. Where should the ladders lean?Rely on the people?

Therefore, the ladder method is not feasible, only such a troublesome method can be used to save people!
As time went by, many Han people who were oppressed and threw logs and stones discovered that the Song Army was not attacking the city, but saving people!
This has greatly touched many Han people on the city walls. People have a heart of compassion, especially on the national and moral levels. Some instinctive movements slow down and start to delay time, and they are even bolder to start helping to take advantage of the chaos. Break the rope.

There are also more daring ones who jump down with no worries and no worries. Of course, this is more dangerous. There are also those who jumped too far and fell directly on the big soldiers!

About half an hour later, the entire rescue operation was over and there was not a single person hanging on the city wall. Lao Niu ordered to go to the other three gates to help. Insufficient quantity and quality lead to insufficient suppressive firepower, which is almost the slowest and the most casualty.

After all the 'hostages' of the three gates were rescued, the Dasong crossbow battalions scattered in the three gates were concentrated at the south gate, allowing Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu to see the sharpness of the long-range arms, and the Xixia people carried the weight on the city wall. Can't get up.

Chen Liqing and Hua Mao also shot and killed the South Gate guards Gaihara and Ao Bao respectively!
After another hour, all the hostages were rescued this time, and the Great Song Army naturally retreated, which greatly shocked the Han people in the city. The Great Song Army worked hard to save them, but the Xixia people looted them, forced them, and slaughtered them. There is a huge sense of contrast in the hearts of every Han Chinese in Gaoping City.

Both Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu are from Xiliang. Liangzhou has experienced two extremes. During the reign of Emperor Ling, it was a place of poverty, rebellion, and riots. one!

Therefore, the actions of the Great Song Army impressed every Liangzhou soldier and gained recognition. If the upper-level troops were still in harmony with each other before, they have gradually become integrated after the joint operations.

But Li Yuanhao didn't take it seriously when he heard the news, and even said, "Women's benevolence! Women's benevolence is extreme!"

So what if a group of Han people were saved, this group is only a few thousand people, and there are countless Han people in Gaoping City, let's see how long Da Song can rescue.
