"Not sure, maybe reinforcements are on the way." Seeing that Zhang Qi was frightened, and thinking that a powerful enemy was outside now, it was not the time to shake the morale of the army, Wen Yang still said a word of comfort.
However, these words sounded so perfunctory that even Wen Yang himself did not believe that there would be reinforcements to help them.
"Well, even if the imperial court doesn't send reinforcements, and Taiyuan Prefecture is behind us, won't they send troops to support us? Once Xinzhou is really captured, Mengqi's next target will be them." Zhang Qi
He still seemed not to believe that there would be no reinforcements and raised his question.
"Taiyuan Prefecture, hehe, they must be shrinking their troops and trying to strengthen the city defense. Didn't you also say that they have to capture Xinzhou before attacking Taiyuan? Even so, they are still safe now, so why do they need to send reinforcements to help us?
?Okay, now it’s better to gather your strength and prepare to face the enemy." Wen Yang shook his head. He had read a lot of books and saw things more thoroughly.
It seems that Xinzhou and Taiyuan are close to each other, but when a disaster strikes, they must focus on self-protection. Counting on them, it is better to hope that the big lords in the court will send reinforcements if their heads are caught in the door.
Seeing Wen Yang being so passive and looking like he didn't believe there would be reinforcements at all, Zhang Qi shook his head, sat down under the earth wall with a plop, and looked into the distance with a somewhat dull look.
Perhaps, it won't be long before this hot land in front of us, as well as the more than 30,000 people here, will become corpses and prisoners of the Mongolian people. They will be sent to other places to be slaves and maids.
And all of this is caused by my own incompetence.
No! It’s those high-ranking officials
It was caused by incompetence. It was those idiots who made the wrong decisions and lost their lives.
Beside the earthen wall, people's hearts were divided, and the two battalion commanders were making final plans.
It's just that one is hot-blooded and the other is like a walking zombie.
Within the earthen wall, the faces of the more than 30,000 people in the village showed panic and fear. From time to time, children's cries could be heard, which gave people a feeling of despair.
Of course, it can't be said that it's all despair. For example, there are more than a dozen men gathering together to discuss something.
Wang Yi, the captain of the Su Jiajun Scout Squadron 1.
I was ordered to come to Xinzhou to understand the battle situation. As soon as I entered Yangxing Village and wanted to get further information, Mengqi appeared outside the village.
In order to avoid being noticed and not exposing their identity, a whole team of twelve people stayed here.
"Haha, this time it's finally our turn to eat meat."
At the moment of the war, there is not only no fear at all, but on the contrary, there is only excitement and excitement.
Although the number of Mongolian riders outside will increase next, and although there are only twelve of them, none of them are afraid. Not only that, but all of them are murderous.
This is the true elite.
During the last trip to Liao and Meng, the scout team made a lot of achievements. When everyone went back, they all brought a lot of merit points (volumes). But the service club in Shangcangshan had too many good things.
It was so dazzling that the merit points they thought were a lot were all spent in a short time.
Compared with the last time they came out, the men, women, and children on the mountain all looked like they were saying goodbye forever. When they came out this time, the people who saw them off most often said:
One sentence he said was, "My dear, do more meritorious deeds and do more meritorious deeds. I'm attracted to that sewing machine. If you don't raise enough money this time, don't come back."
"Dad, I want bubble gum, popping candy, and that Transformers. Buy them for me when you come back."
"Master, the bicycle is really good. Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law bought one. It's up to you this time. Come on."
With all kinds of instructions, really instructions, they set out on the road, heading straight to the north all the way day and night.
Having been to the Northland once, they were no longer strangers. In addition, with the outbreak of the war, many checkpoints on the road were originally unguarded. However, along the way, they were extremely fast and finally became one of the vanguards, ahead of schedule.
Come to the battlefield.
Being one step ahead is an advantage. You can grab a few big ones before the enemy knows they are there and kill more enemies.
Thinking about it, these are all merit points and the hopes of the family. The faces of the twelve people were extremely excited, just like Meng Qi looking at the Song people in the north. Even more passionate than their eyes.
"Okay, the merit points are right in front of us. The next step is to see if everyone can catch them. Among other things, we have to live up to the advantage of being first and get more merit points back. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the main force to come.
If we don't, they will laugh at us."
As the squad leader, Wang Yi finally spoke up.
"Captain, please don't worry, we will definitely not let our guard down. Yes, it's just like what the young marshal said." The teammates below responded one after another.
This time, they were also lucky and discovered Mengqi outside Yangxing Village first. Several other groups of Su family troops also came to the battlefield, but
I haven't met Meng Qi yet, but I have to say that God still takes good care of them.
"Okay, now everyone is checking the equipment. The five-repeated crossbow is ready. I will give them a hard one later." Wang Yi nodded heavily, and then took out the small five-repeated crossbow (referred to as the five-repeating crossbow) in the backpack behind him.
), start wiping, and start loading arrows.
One of the team members, while loading arrows, said, "Captain, I saw the eight-shot crossbow gun of the Black Cavalry (referred to as the eight-shot gun). It is a good thing. Why not equip it on our scouts?"
?”
(Thanks to L_尐Rui for his suggestion. He thinks flat-fire and powerful crossbows are better. After checking the information, the prodigal son came up with an eight-sided flat-fire crossbow.)
"You know what? That thing is good, but it's too big, not suitable for lurking scouts like us. Okay, five consecutive shots are not enough." Wang Yi smiled and looked at the team members around him.
The team member touched his bald head and said, "I'm just thinking about killing more enemies."
"Five consecutive shots are enough. Unlike the black cavalry, we don't need to charge. We only need to wait on the spot and wait for the enemy to rush up and die." Wang Yi understands the team members' eagerness to kill the enemy. But good things have to be seen.
Not suitable.
Think about it, when you are lurking, carrying a large crossbow behind you is not only inconvenient, but also easy to be discovered.
In comparison, the five-shooter is smaller and more suitable for close combat.
Wang Yi's team members were making preparations for the war. Wang Yi himself walked to a corner with a walkie-talkie and began to report the situation.
...
South of Yangxing Village, thirty miles away.
A group of red-armored cavalry was marching mightily.
Su Shi took four
Thousands of cavalrymen served as the vanguard. After leaving Bianliang City, they headed straight to the north without stopping.
Soldiers are valuable and quick.
The war lasted for nearly two months, and the Song Dynasty did not send any reinforcements. Su Shi could imagine that the war in the north must be very unfavorable.
And once the armies of the three tribes were allowed to advance too far into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, the price would be too high to blast them out.
Especially since the Liao army has not yet participated in the war, perhaps they are waiting to see how the Song Dynasty will respond. And once they find an opportunity to take advantage of it, they will join in at any time.
In contrast, the number of Liao soldiers that could be mobilized was larger. Once they joined, the situation would become even more unfavorable, and Su Shi could not help but worry.
Although he has the will to win, he will not be careless. Things like underestimating his opponents will never happen to Su Shi.
The carriage ran very fast. If it hadn't been installed with shock absorbers and modified in advance, it would probably fall apart if it ran all the way.
But even so, Su Shi was very uncomfortable in the carriage. Fortunately, Yue Siling was always by his side, and from time to time he used to be a meat cushion for Su Shi to lean on.
Well, now Yue Siling's capital is getting stronger and stronger.
Among the running carriages, a voice suddenly came from the intercom. Su Shi quickly picked it up and learned about the situation outside Yangxing Village.
"Repel them first, make them angry, catch bigger fish and then kill them, so that everyone can eat enough."
After Su Shi learned of the situation, he quickly had a plan in his mind.
Along the way, Su Shike had been thinking about the battle situation and how to deal a heavy blow to the enemy. Among them, he had conceived the problem of Yangxing Village, and now it happened to be used.
"Remember, Lord Meng
Before the force appears, the army must not be discovered. Whoever is discovered, I will punish him later." Thinking that the most important thing in this battle is to hide, you can't let the enemy know that you are coming, at least you can't find yourself at the first time, then
Adequate concealment is required.
"Don't worry, young marshal. If anyone is discovered, a thousand merit points will be deducted from him." Ji Zhu's sonorous and powerful voice came from the intercom.
One thousand merit points can only be obtained by killing a hundred enemies. Even if you kill an enemy general, you must be an important person. This punishment is naturally extremely severe for the Su family army, even more severe than killing them.
Su Shi also knew the importance of merit points to the Su family's army on Shangcang Mountain, and he immediately laughed. "Okay, just tell them like this. Remember, don't take action until a big fish takes the bait, otherwise there may not be one next time.
Opportunities like this.”
After admonishing Ji Zhu, Su Shi in the carriage began to hold his chin and think, how many people will come from Mengqi this time?
Listening to the sound of Yang Wenguang and the others riding on their horses galloping outside the carriage, Su Shi thought for a while and said: "Yang Wenguang, keep going. Meals have been arranged ten miles ahead. By then, everyone will be full and ready to go."
One game.”
Along the way, Su Shi never used the power of the system.
After all, people like Yang Wenguang are not our own Su family army. If they are exposed too much, they will arouse suspicion. But now, they are about to reach their destination, and they can get something out.
When someone asked, he said it was done by the black knights outside.
Anyway, the Black Cavalry is one of our own, and what they need to admit is just a matter of words.
As soon as I heard that someone ten miles ahead was ready to eat,
