15. The Rebellion of the Heavenly Army arrives
A few more arrows shot, puffing through the alert scout's arms, chest and waist. He twisted, trying to stretch his neck, call for help in the direction of the camp, or call for warning.
However, several Baicao soldiers rushed up and covered his mouth and nose quickly, then extended a horizontal knife to cut off his throat.
At this time, the several falls of the Nanshan Dangxiang were unaware of them. The women and children came out with their skins and small to draw water from the mountain streams on the southwest side. This small river was the only one that would not freeze in winter for dozens of miles around.
"Ah!" Suddenly, the forest was dark and the sound of the vibration of the bowstrings and crossbow arms was heard. Rows of sharp arrows came out. The women and children who were squatting by the river to get water made screams and were shot to the ground. Some of them had not yet died immediately. Blood was gushing out, soaking the stream or the snowy soil under them, crawling and groaning.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong, the sound of drums carried by the White Grass Army in the forest suddenly sounded, "The Heavenly Army to suppress the rebellion is here!" With several tiger roars, the White Grass Army's shooting general Zhu Bo is on the left and Sha Tong is on the right, each with fifty provocative soldiers, wrapped their wrists around layers of linen, tightly tied the thick horizontal swords tightly, and each passed through the open area like an arrow, and the panicked and running livestock. Several Nanshan Party Party Xiang Dingnan who had not yet reacted, just stood up and raised their eyes when they saw the fierce Tang soldiers pounced towards him.
"Tang Bing is here..." Some Ding men turned around and screamed at the camp.
A horizontal knife cut them on their backs or necks, with a hat on them, and the remaining limbs fell, and the blood moved, and they died on the spot.
"Reward competition, reward competition, hahahaha." The Dangxiang City people in the Baicao Army had already staged their favorite program. Although they stayed in Xingyuan Mansion in the previous period and lived a comfortable farming and animal husbandry life, the wild and cruel genes in their blood have not faded. Once they see the blood, they will completely regain their violent rebellion. The selected Whitecao Army archers, after Zhu Bo and Sha Tong's sporting team, kept pulling strings and shooting arrows, without distinguishing their identities, shot and killed the living people they could see one after another. It could be said that they fell down from the string.
Soon, two strands of provoking soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, like two sharp blades cutting into the camp of Dangxiang in Nanshan.
Most of the soldiers of the Baicao Mule Army who lived in the back raised their group signs and formed a shield to advance, constantly hitting them with a horizontal knife, shouting, "The heavenly army has arrived, the rebellious Nanshan Qiang and Xiqiang, who are left alone, kill - kill - kill!"
A sharp sound was then spread over the heads of the mule soldiers: fires were shining, dragging the thick smoke tail, spinning, and then smashing into the domes of Xiang Fanluo, the Nanshan Dangshan.
These fire scattered fires were all shot out by the "tiger cannon" arranged on the hillside.
In addition to riding, crossbows and swords, some of the mules of the Baicao Army had the ability to de-cannons and pull cannons. After they had chosen the position before, they quietly built the tiger cannons carried by cows or camels from the disassembly state. The single column was standing on the ground with a cannon abdomen, and then tied a rope. One person then half-kneeled in front of the cannon to de-cannons, and one person was responsible for loading the cannons. The four people pulled the cannon rope and quickly threw the fire out in turn. It was very fast. The stone ball could shoot fifty steps, and if the fire was shot, the range could reach a hundred steps.
This fire-blade not only adds materials that are easy to explode, but also uses an iron pestle to penetrate the leather dome of the Nanshan Dangxiang when it falls. Then it burns violently. There is no such phenomenon of rolling down and waste, which greatly improves the efficiency of the Baicao Army's "burning villages". It is even more magical for dealing with the Dangxiang tribe who live in tents.
The men and women of the Nanshan Dangxiang who ran out in panic seemed to have seen the cruel scene of the punishment of heaven: the white grass army provoked the storms everywhere, raising their knives and slashing their heads, and the fire arrows falling from the sky were constantly exploding flames, devouring their tents to their lives. Some of the fires burning fiercely, children who were injured or had no time to escape, and the elderly could only sit in the place, making desperate and shrill screams, heart-wrenching, and finally were entangled by the flames...
A few men and women from the Nanshan Dangxiang who mustered up their courage raised their weapons to form a formation and confronted the Tang soldiers who broke into the army.
But once they started fighting, they realized that their military skills were too far apart from the Baicao Army carefully cultivated by Gao Yue.
In Xingyuan Mansion, Gao Yue could not relax his military production for a moment. He often told the people in the mansion that the reason why the Han army defeated the Huns in the past was not that the Han soldiers surpassed the Huns, but because the Han soldiers' weapons were sharp and advanced, the armor was solid and solid, and the Huns lacked forging and smelting technology, it was not surprising that one Han soldiers fought five Huns soldiers.
Now the White Grass Army's provocation soldiers have two armors or armor on their bodies, their arms, arrow sleeves on their arms, neck armor around their necks, round helmets on their heads, and long horizontal swords forged by the Iron Official of Xingyuan Mansion. The swords are all inscribed with "Pinglong" inscriptions, which can be said to be wearing strong and holding sharp edges, and they charge into battle and are unstoppable.
And what about the Nanshan Dangxiang? Only a few people received the armored soldiers given by Ma Chongying before. Most of them were about the same level as the pheasant Qiang that Gao Yue suppressed. The long weapons were blackened and sharpened hardwood, the guard weapons were guillotines and daggers, and the long-range weapons were bows and arrows, and even the iron-clustered heads were very few.
Therefore, once they get into the battle, these men and women from Nanshan Dangxiang were cut and killed by the long swords of the white grass soldiers. It’s not that they don’t have the courage, but nothing will be of no help before the powerful technology is crushed.
Less than an hour of the raid, in the Dangxiang Camp in Nanshan, two or three miles away, the slaughtered corpses were piled up on the road, wooden fences or puddles. Several chiefs led the remaining tribesmen to flee to the area north of the Khaniuling.
The Tang soldiers of the Baicao Army who captured the camp seemed to have no interest in chasing them. They were pulling captured animals, war horses and people everywhere, and some were holding torches calmly, holding no burning domes along the way, or cutting their heads and throwing them into the bamboo basket they carried like picking vegetables.
Ximen Can, the White Grass Supervisor who rushed over, stood on the spotted horse. Looking at all this, he was entrusted by Gao Yue to supervise the way northwards.
"It's too cruel." At this time, Su Yan, the branch official of Xingyuan Prefecture, who rushed over, looked at the cruel scene. Several Fanluo encountered a catastrophe and couldn't help but sigh tremblingly.
"Doctor Su, don't want to be kind to women. Xifan and this group of rebels Xiang did in Yanzhou, which is much crueler than us. If we don't kill a few groups of people, it will not be enough to shock the Qiang and Hu." Ximen Can disagreed and refuted Dr. Su, telling him that even if he is benevolent and righteous, he would have to support him. Then he said to Su Yan, "Don't make a list of specific captivity here. Now the subsequent food and salary have not yet been in place. All the income is rewarded to the soldiers, which is conducive to boosting morale and maintaining the war."
It seems that the military supervisor Ximen Can has been firmly tied to Gao Yue's concept.
