Chapter five hundred and nineteenth wishful thinking
Ye An is not worried about the slow arrival of reinforcements. At least the current Qingping Pass can withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Xiqiang people, but the casualties paid are unacceptable to Ye An.
Huddle defense is almost the best defense method in siege warfare, but now the Xiqiang people have relented. Baima Wulan's behavior fully illustrates a problem. The Xiqiang people also cannot withstand such war losses.
The Song army lost more than 600 people, while the Xiqiang tribesmen lost five to six thousand people. It can be regarded as one life for ten lives. As long as Baima Wulan is not a fool, he will understand what this means.
As long as the Song army defends Qingping Pass, sooner or later the Zhenrong army and the Dingbian army will attack, and by then they will have no chance of escaping.
As for discussing in front of the battle, Ye An also readily agreed. He felt that there was nothing better than bringing the enemy in front of him. It was simply a blessing from God...
A piece of iron soft armor was draped on his body, followed by a thick mountain armor and a scarlet cloak. This weight really made it difficult for Ye An to walk. It was even more exaggerated than marching with heavy loads, but Tieniu and others still
I think he is wearing less clothes.
In order to avoid being crushed to death, Ye An chose to express his opinion with his feet and kicked away Xu Yongzhang, who had to put a goggles on him. Then he entered the military tent and took out the musket that he had polished until it shined last night.
Both Tieniu and Cheng Gongshou looked down upon such a short and unedged weapon. As for Xu Yongzhang, he wanted to take a good look at it but was coaxed away by Ye An.
"Master Marquis, what's the use of this weapon? Is it just like blowing an arrow? That's of no use either!"
Tieniu, who had never seen a hot weapon, had no idea of the horror of a musket. Ye An was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and gently pulled the trigger. The flint made a crisp sound driven by the spring steel and struck hard on the anvil, bringing out a wave of fire.
String of Mars.
Although Tieniu and others were startled, nothing happened after seeing a wisp of fine white smoke coming out of this thing. Since he was even more panicked and worried about Ye An's safety, he asked Ye An to bring a crossbow to defend himself...
…
Ye An looked at the short and powerful flintlock musket in his hand, and then at the huge swinging crossbow, feeling that Tieniu was insulting his and Baima Ulan's IQ.
The musket is more than three feet long, neither too long nor too short. This is the best length that Ye An has tested with Qin Mumu in Tokyo. It barely reaches the effective distance of two hundred steps for horizontal shooting. Moreover, this flintlock musket uses pure
The hand-made lead Mini bullets also use paper shells for fixed charges. The only disadvantage is that dust will accumulate after several launches, affecting the ignition efficiency and gunpowder burning rate, and reducing the design progress and range. However, this is also
A piece of cake.
The gun had been calibrated before going out, with front sight and rear sight. Qin Mumu also wanted to add a cursor on it, but Ye An decisively rejected it. The accuracy of this gun is impressive at more than fifty meters, and further away.
Just look at the face.
In order to show his sincerity, Baima Wulan walked to the open space outside Qingping Pass with just a servant leading the horse. Of course, he was also outside the range of the Song Dynasty Eight Ox Crossbow. In the Battle of Chanyuan, the Song Army's Eight Ox Crossbow fired
The fact that Xiao Talin was taken away with a big iron gun left a psychological shadow on foreigners.
Ye An smiled and let the iron ox lead the horse to pull him out of the city. I have to say that Bai Ma Ulan is very smart. The generals of both sides met outside the city. They were each at the same distance from their own army. As long as there was a slight abnormality, they would run away. There was no need to do so.
Worrying about the back, it is even more impossible to shoot cold arrows. Everyone is as pierced as a turtle, and ordinary arrows cannot penetrate the armor at all.
The gates of Qingping Pass, which had been closed for nearly a month and a half, were hoisted. There are almost no double-opening gates of this type of pass. Most of the gates are dropped from the city wall. Otherwise, what is the purpose of the city gate building?
Ye An didn't understand why Bai Ma Ulan was so keen on talking to him, as if he was sure that he would let them go.
The relationship between hunters and prey has changed very wonderfully. Some time ago, the Xiqiang people were hunters who plundered Huanzhou, but now they have become prey rounded up by the Song Dynasty. As for letting the tiger return to the mountain, Ye An would definitely not do it.
He allowed Zihe Mailing to return to Qinggang Gorge not because Zihe Mailing was willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but because he and his tribe were weak enough that even if they returned to Qinggang Gorge, it would be easy for the Song Dynasty to control them.
Under the powerful and tolerant policy of the Han dynasty, what else could the Xiqiang in Huanzhou do without a strong tribe but to obey?
As for the powerful Xiqiang tribe like the Baima Tribe, Ye An will definitely not let them leave, even if it means breaking the sky. In Ye An's opinion, once the Baima Wulan leads the powerful Baima Tribe back to Qinggang Gorge, then
It is very likely that there will be another tribe in the northwest of the Song Dynasty that is as difficult to deal with as the Dangxiang.
Don’t forget, the Dangxiang people belong to a branch of the Xiqiang people!
Ye An's white horse and black armor came out of seclusion, and Tieniu just wore a walking armor. The thick armor leaves were airtight, so he didn't have to worry about heatstroke in this summer.
Bai Ma Wulan had been waiting under the sun for a while. He was sweating profusely and took off his helmet to breathe. Ye Anxin also took off his own helmet. He finally saw that in this case, there was no way to hide the heavy crossbow.
live.
From a distance of ten meters, he could clearly see a lot of the other party. Seeing that Ye An went to the appointment as scheduled, the white horse Wulan smiled boldly and dismounted: "Ye Hou is indeed a young and heroic young man! In this case, why don't you dismount and talk in detail?"
Dismounting is to give up any warning. The weapon on the horse is equivalent to giving up, which is a sign of sincerity. Fortunately, Ye An has been carrying the big musket on his back, which did not arouse the vigilance of the white horse Ulan.
Baima Wulan didn't care that Ye An came with a weapon. He also brought a pair of iron maces, which gave him an advantage in comparison. But he didn't know that the weapon on Ye An's back was the most deadly weapon in the world.
.
Setting up a pergola and looking at the sun in the sky, Ye An took off his armor amidst the surprise of Bai Ma Ulan and Tie Niu's horror. Wearing only a satin lining and carrying a kettle, he walked over with a musket on his back.
After finding an open space and doing the work, Ye Ansu invited Bai Ma Wulan to sit down: "You are quite courageous. The person Zihe Xingling killed before was your brother, right? I didn't expect the twins, but I didn't expect them.
I don’t think you would be so bold as to enter my Qingping Pass in person.”
White Horse Wulan laughed: "There is an old saying among the Han people: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs." White Horse Maolu's death was not in vain. Didn't Yehou meet me now?"
Ye An didn't say anything. The Xiqiang man in front of him was indeed exactly the same as the white horse Maolu he had seen before, but his eyes were more determined than his.
It is difficult to deal with such a person, because the things he believes are extremely difficult to change. Ye An stared at him for a while and said: "Tell me about it! Why do you want to see me again and again?"
