Chapter 350 Underground Great Wall
He killed six people with ten arrows and injured two people, and they were all generals of the Liao Kingdom.
The battlefield suddenly became quiet, and Dong Ping and Alic, who were fighting like lanterns in the middle, stopped.
Chao Yong pointed at Yelu Dezhong and Yelu Dashi behind the battlefield with the Overlord Bow and said, "This is just a small punishment for you. If you dare to cross the river, there will be more punishments waiting for you."
After saying that, he tweaked his horse's heads and said to Dong Ping: "Let's go."
The generals of the Liao Kingdom watched Chao Yong and the other two go south slowly, but none of them dared to chase him. Seeing Chao Yong's power behind, Yuanzunzi, who surrounded him, did not dare to go forward to stop him.
Yelu Dezhong looked at the three knights who were shot through with their horses and shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such powerful bows and arrows in the world, and their lethality is almost the same as those of the small crossbows of the southerners."
Yelu Dashi couldn't say that Yelu Dezhong's general order was wrong at this time, so he could only say: "Although the prince of Liang really had the courage of overlords, the battle between Liang was still relying on the soldiers of the three armies, and he could not affect the overall situation by any one."
"Lin Ya is right. The emperor has already arrived in Zhuozhou. When the emperor arrives, we will send troops to attack Xiongzhou and avenge our revenge today."
Yelu Dezhong ordered the remaining generals to rescue the injured two people back to the camp to heal the wounded, and the ten bodies were handed over to Yuanlanzi.
Yelu Dezhong was also a little glad that he sent his four sons north to welcome the emperor, otherwise he would have to pay a few of them here today.
After walking for a while, Dong Ping saw that the war horse under his crotch was foaming at his mouth, so he pulled the war horse of Yelu Guobao that he had just held, and jumped directly from the horse's back.
Yelu Guobao's war horse is the same as his brother's, and this silver-maned horse is better than Dong Ping's mount.
"Crown Prince, why didn't I take advantage of the situation to kill Yelu Dashi and that Liao general?"
Chao Yong felt his arm weak at this time, and shook his head and said, "I can't use the Overlord Bow after shooting ten arrows in a row. If I rush over, Liaogou will definitely escape if he can't beat them, and it will be difficult to chase them. And
You can't fight again, are you?"
In order to increase the rate of fire, Chao Yong removed all the mechanisms on the Divine Arm Bow, but it also increased the difficulty of drawing the bow. Chao Yong once tried, and at most he would pull the bow thirty times in a row, and his arms would be sore
Ma. Today, he only pulled it for more than a dozen times, and his arms were sore and numb, which showed the loss of the continuous bead arrows.
So although he still had a pot of spare arrows, he could only stop when he saw it was better.
Dong Ping heard Chao Yong considering him. He was also a little excited. He fought with Yelu Guozhen for more than fifty matches and Yelu Guobao for more than ten matches. The war horses could no longer bear it. And Alic, who fought in the end, was even more.
He is very good at martial arts. He just fought for a few rounds and was somewhat suppressed. I am afraid that he may not be an opponent in his prime. If he continues to fight, he will definitely lose.
Hua Rong said, "The Liao soldiers did not send troops to protect the pontoon bridge on the south bank. We can raid the pontoon bridge and prevent the Liao soldiers from moving south."
Chao Yong shook his head and said, "Down with the floating bridge only delayed the Liao soldiers for a few days. Now the domestic situation is complicated. I just received the news on my way north. Tong Guan killed many leaders of the Manichaeism, including Fang La, and launched another one.
The descendants of Taizu of Song became emperors and established their capital in Suzhou. They said that the descendants of Taizu of Song were orthodox Song, and called on the world's prefecture to be loyal to the new dynasty and refused to obey Zhao Ji's will. The situation in the northwest is not known. We have no time to waste with the Liao Kingdom, only
Only when we can wait for them to cross the river will it hurt them for a while, making them afraid to have the desire to covet. Only then can we concentrate on unifying the Central Plains."
Dong Ping suddenly said: "In fact, we can find a way to use black gunpowder to blow the generals of the Liao Kingdom into the sky."
Chao Yongqi said: "We cannot know the formation of the Liao army, and we cannot lay gunpowder in advance."
Dong Ping smiled and said, "No need to bury it in advance. There are tunnels everywhere between Xiongzhou and Baigou River. Gunpowder can be adjusted at any time. It is a bit difficult to match the locations underground and on the ground and quickly notify people underground.
.”
The tunnel that Dong Ping mentioned is the tunnel of the border between the Song and Liao dynasties known as the Great Underground of China. It is rumored that it was built by Yang Liulang and Yang Yanzhao when he was guarding the border, covering between Xiongzhou and Bazhou. There are also caves of Tibetan soldiers, caves, etc.
With the setting, many soldiers can be hidden inside, and even if the Liao soldiers enter it, it is difficult to distinguish the direction.
The information can be safely transmitted through the tunnel, and the soldiers and horses of the two states can also support each other from the underground, without worrying about being robbed by the Liao soldiers in the middle.
The entire tunnel is made of uniform blue bricks, which can be comparable to the Great Wall. It has narrow holes, sluices, flips, gates and other military facilities, which can resist the invading Liao troops. It also has ventilation holes and lampstands.
, water storage tanks, earth pits and other living facilities can allow military and civilians to live in it for a period of time.
The underground Great Wall and the Water Great Wall are important passes on the Hebei Plain. It was through these two east and west that the Song army resisted the Liao army's southward advance.
Chao Yong also heard Lu Junyi talk about the authenticity of Xiongzhou, and laughed at him: "You can make an appointment with the Liao Kingdom to fight to narrow the scope, and then mark the location and the authenticity of the ground in sections. After observing the position of the Liao general, then
Notify the people to the corresponding tunnel.”
Dong Ping thought for a while and said, "I know the exit location of the tunnel. But after entering the tunnel, it will be difficult to correspond to the location on the ground. How to mark it in segments?"
Chao Yong thought about it and found that the tunnel must be tortuous, and he could not hear the sound inside. If he wanted to mark the tunnel and the location on the ground in sections, he could only use a stupid method to calculate it one by one, which would take a lot of manpower.
Material resources may not be accurate. If something goes wrong, gunpowder will probably be wasted, and you may have to face attacks from the Liao army.
After all, although the power of 500 kilograms of black gunpowder is very strong, the coverage range is not too large. As long as the direction of the marking position is slightly deviated, the final position may be greatly deviated. The most important thing is that the Liao Kingdom is far away from the wings and provoking everywhere.
If the tunnel location was calculated on a large scale, most people in the Liao Dynasty could guess that it was a trap, so they would naturally not be foolish in dealing with it.
Of course, it is also possible that the power of gunpowder directly shocked the Liao people. After all, if five hundred kilograms of black gunpowder exploded, it would definitely be earth-shaking.
But it may also be seen through by the Liao people. After all, the Song Dynasty had widely used gunpowder. Although the explosion was not very powerful, it would leave the smell of gunpowder, which easily reminded people of it. What's more, Hu Yanzhuo had used black gunpowder in the Jingji area.
The city has been sieged, and now it is rumored that there are real thunder cannons in Daliang, and the sound is like thunderbolt, breaking the sky and the earth.
If the Liao general did not kill the Liao general, it would instead covet and attack Xiongzhou fiercely. At that time, the 50,000 soldiers would have to pay a heavy price.
