Chapter 67 Bow Team
Author: Use your soul to aim
Hu Biao got off the city wall and ran to the inn in Ma Shi. When he arrived at the inn, he shouted to the men who were drinking:
"Brothers, the horse market is in trouble. You all made a fortune from the horse market. Now a group of bandits have come from outside the city and want to bloodbath the horse market and cut off your wealth! Do you agree?"
The people who stayed at the Mashi Inn were all desperadoes who had made a fortune by selling wine on the grassland. The reason why they stayed in Mashi for the Chinese New Year was to wait for the spring to start, so they could go to the grassland and make a good fortune. Some of them were
Hu Biao's brothers from the original caravan went to explore the grassland on a snowy day and came back to rest.
"Master Hu, you're welcome. It's all because of Master Hu that the brothers can eat meat and drink wine. If you touch the horse market, you will make money for the brothers. Even the emperor can't do it."
"That's right, that's right, anyone who touches the horse market has a grudge against me. I have finally lived a happy life. If anyone dares to mess with it, I will kill his whole family."
"Master Hu, just tell me. What do you want the brothers to do?"
"We are all heroes who are not afraid of death. Now a group of bandits have come outside the city. We need brothers to go up to the city wall to help defend the city. As long as there are brothers who go up to the wall today, I, Hu Biao, will make the decision here. From now on, he will get wine from the horse market."
All 20% off.”
"Master Hu is open and bright."
"Master Hu is in a good mood."
Everyone first went back to get weapons, bows and arrows, and then followed Hu Biao up the city wall.
As soon as we reached the city wall, we heard a loud shout from the distance:
"Robbing money, grabbing food, grabbing women."
Everyone quickly ran towards the city wall and saw countless big men rushing towards the city wall carrying ladders and waving weapons.
It was also the first time for Qian Dianshi to see such a scene, and he almost lost his balance. Looking at the people on the city wall, they were even more unbearable, and some people were frightened to the point of peeing.
Qian Dianshi knew that he could not defend the city wall if he continued like this. He shouted loudly:
"When the bandit soldiers come in, no one can survive. My wife and children will also suffer. Only by guarding the city wall can we survive. If you kill a bandit soldier, you will be rewarded with ten taels immediately."
Hu Biao was also unambiguous and shouted:
"The Silver Reward Taiping is out, please feel free to kill the enemy. We will arrange for someone to bring the silver here."
Immediately ordered the clerk to go to Taiping to get the silver.
Qian Dianshi then shouted:
"The archers quickly shot arrows at the bandit holding the ladder."
The man who was trying to make a living on the grassland was not very skilled with bows and horses. He took out his bow, put an arrow on it, estimated the distance, and started firing arrows at the bandit army.
Unfortunately, there were still too few archers, and there was no unified command. They only shot and injured a dozen bandits, and there was not much of a stir in the first wave of thousands of soldiers. The bandits still faced the city wall without fear of death.
Come rushing.
Under the leadership of hundreds of households, the first thousand-man team quickly rushed to the city wall. There was no moat in the city wall defense of Qingjian County, so the bandits set up ladders on the city wall without much effort.
Seeing that they had reached the city wall so easily, the bandit soldiers were even more morale-boosted. Without the need for an officer to urge them, they all rushed to the ladder with their swords in their pockets.
Fortunately, Zhang Zongxian had the city wall repaired to prevent poisonous scorpions, so that the bandit army would not be able to rush directly into the city through the original collapsed gap.
As the entrance and exit of the horse market, the east gate itself is the center of defense. It was originally equipped with a removable arrow shelter, but now only a small part is installed, and the crenellations are exposed.
There are still five tiger cannons on the city wall, and the turrets have been built. However, the good ministers were eager to save the division and dragged all the new troops to the rescue, so no one knew how to use the cannons on the city wall.
However, there were still defensive equipment such as rolling logs and thunder stones. Qian Dianshi directed everyone to divide into two teams. One team used push rods to push the ladder, and the other team used rolling logs to knock down the bandit soldiers on the ladder.
For a while, the bandits were prevented from storming the city.
Wang Qianhu kept staring at the city wall, watching the sparse arrows shot from the city wall. He smiled scornfully, thinking that he had tested out the reality on the city wall, so he called in his confidants.
"You lead your team's archers and go forward immediately to suppress the defenders on the city."
"I obey my orders."
When those hundreds of households returned to their own team, they immediately pulled out a team of two hundred people. These were all archers that Wang Qianhu had painstakingly trained, and they were his support in Yanshou Town.
Baihu and his archers stopped when they were less than two hundred steps away from the city wall.
The hundred households first took out a red arrow, nocked it and shot it towards the city wall. They looked at the point of the arrow and already measured the approximate angle in their mind.
Then Baihu began to give orders to all the archers:
"Standing" All the archers stepped forward and faced the city wall sideways.
"Nocking Arrows" All archers draw arrows from their quivers and place them on their bows, with the arrows pointing to the ground.
"Lift the bow and arrow and raise it one foot and two". All the archers drew the bow string and the arrow pointed horizontally and raised it one foot and two.
"shoot"
Two hundred arrows were fired at the city gate. Although there was an arrow shield on the city gate, everyone was trying their best to kill the enemies on the ladder and did not notice the incoming bows and arrows.
As the arrows fell, there were screams everywhere on the city wall. The bow and arrow could not kill the person unless it hit the vital point. But ordinary people would definitely lose their combat effectiveness after being hit by the arrow.
Soon another wave of arrows came. Another group of people were hit by arrows and fell down. The remaining people hurriedly hid under the arrow shields.
After three waves of arrows, no one on the city wall was attacking the enemies on the ladder. The bandits below the city immediately seized the opportunity and quickly climbed onto the city wall.
Wang Qianhu couldn't stop laughing as he watched the archers he carefully trained show their prowess.
He smiled even more happily when he saw a soldier already climbing up the city wall. It seemed as if the white money had already come into his hands.
Then he immediately ordered the second thousand-man team to attack. The remaining thousand-man team also moved forward as a whole, waiting to open the city gate and enter the city.
Wang Qianhu now believed that he was sure of victory, and began to order the hundreds of households under his command not to rush into looting but to control the four city gates when they entered the city. By then, all the wealth and women in the city would be theirs and no one could escape.
If anyone disobeys military orders, don't blame him for being ruthless. Let the gentry escape the city and report them to Yan'an Mansion, where everyone will have to go around without food.
At this time, less than half of the people on the city wall were injured by arrows, and Hu Biao was also hit by an arrow in his arm. Qian Dianshi was frightened by the tragic scene and sat on the ground.
is crying:
"It's over, it's all over. My Qian family's century-old foundation is over."
After all, Hu Biao was a ruthless man who had crossed the grassland and killed bandits. He knew that he would really die if he didn't fight hard. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow, raised the steel knife and shouted:
"Brothers are fighting like crazy. If you want to steal my money, you must kill me first."
The brothers who were doing business with Hu Biao and the guys from the horse market all picked up their weapons and attacked the bandits who had climbed up the city wall.
With this bravery, he was able to forcefully kill the bandits off the city wall.
Seeing that the bandits on the city wall were driven down, Bai Hu, who was leading the archers, no longer had any scruples. He led the archers forward another hundred steps and ordered the archers to shoot with all their strength. For a while, arrows rained down and once again covered the city head.
