.Chapter 630 National War

Wei Qiang was not a self-esteem. If this invasion of the Liao Kingdom was a few years ago, he would have taken his family away with him.

However, since last year, the court has provided some support to these landlord armed forces in the border areas, including formal officers to train private soldiers for them and teach some simple combat skills. Before the beginning of spring, these soldiers were also organized to train regular troops for two months.

At the same time, in terms of equipment, the court allowed the landlords in these border areas to build their own armor. In addition, each private soldier can be equipped with a certain number of palm thunder and fire spurt tubes according to the number of people. Wei Qiang had 800 private soldiers, and four fire spurt tubes and twenty palm thunders hidden in his cellar.

These are all Wei Qiang's reliances. Of course, his biggest reliance is that he believes that the reinforcements of the Song army will come soon.

On this point, Chen Yuan implemented Mao Wansui's instructions. When the war started, we should know that to mobilize the power of the masses, national war is always the most effective means to repel powerful enemies. Chen Yuan persuaded Renzong to arm these private soldiers and the people to a certain extent and issued an imperial edict.

The imperial edict was posted at the gate of the county government, and everyone could see it. The imperial edict said that once the Liao people invaded the Song Dynasty, all the people of the Song Dynasty, regardless of gender, age, have the responsibility to protect the land. Kill one Liao soldier, reward five taels of silver, kill one Liao ** official, reward three acres of fertile land. Those who kill the Liao generals will reward one hundred taels of gold and thousands of hectares of fertile land.

The battle just now was very easy. Wei Qiang calculated in his mind that he had obtained hundreds of acres of land. He distributed it to the two villages next to him. As for the villagers behind, he would not give them the fields. Seeing how much reward the court gave, he would take out some to send them away.

Xiao Da led his cavalry to kill again and finally saw his enemy on a flat land in front of the village gate.

More than two thousand villagers of the Song Dynasty treated them solemnly. At the front were four rows of horses, behind them were two rows of civilians with about a thousand people, and then a group of private soldiers holding a musket. Finally, there was a group of farmers who looked very messy and had various weapons in their hands.

Xiao Da didn't care about the private soldiers with those muskets. He knew that the landlords of the Song army had no crossbows. When he rushed in front of him, the horse did not stop. He pointed forward with a spear in his hand: "Carry and shoot all these Song pigs."

The Liao people immediately used their riding and shooting skills, and the crossbow arrow hit him.

Wei Qiang was prepared for this: "Highly upright wooden boards"

His orders were very timely, but the villagers were frightened by the momentum of the Liao people. Many of them were trembling with their hands and feet, and their movements slowed down a lot, causing hundreds of casualties. However, in the end, they lifted the wooden board with the uneven movement.

After standing up, these wooden boards are not as unified and beautiful as shields. They are big and small, wide and narrow. Most of them are newly removed door panels and bed panels. The door god with claws on the door panel can still see clearly.

The most creative one is a villager who came out with a bed board. Maybe he came out in a hurry and didn't have time to look closely. There was a woman's red bellyband in the middle of the gap in the bed board, with a brilliant blooming peony embroidered on it. Even though the sky was already dark, the bellyband was floating in the wind in a rain of arrows, and the peony flowers could still see clearly.

Xiao Da rushed to the front. When he approached the Joe, he slowed down and prepared to use his spear to pick the Joe. His movements were very skillful, without any nervousness, because he saw that the Song people opposite him did not have crossbows in their hands.

He had also seen the kind of muskets from the Song Dynasty, and he even used them as a general. In Xiao Da's opinion, these muskets were not accurate and had trouble loading, and could not pose any threat to him at all.

Wei Qiang gave the order: "Ignite"

After a row of gunfire sounded, the Liao cavalry rushing in the front fell one after another. Xiao Da was very lucky. The war horse under his crotch was frightened by the gunfire, and a neighing sounded high and overturned Xiao Da from the warfare.

The iron sand hit the abdomen of the war horse, but Xiao Da passed by the god of death who was close to him. The personal soldiers behind him quickly came up and helped him up. Only then did he realize that the intensive attack of the musket was so powerful that the casualties caused to the Liao soldiers were even heavier than the volley of the crossbow.

"Roar up quickly, don't let them hit iron sand again." Xiao Da quickly reacted, ignored the wounded soldiers who were injured and moaned on the ground, and continued to rush forward.

Unfortunately, Wei Qiang didn't know the reason for firing one after another. Six hundred rifles fired at the same time. Although the lethality was satisfactory, there was a long gap left in the middle. The gap during this period was enough to allow the Liao people to pick all the first row of horses.

After the second round of shooting, many Liao soldiers fell to the ground, but their first three rows of horses were also picked out. Until the Liao people also cleared the fourth row of horses, Xiao Da had already suffered more than 300 casualties.

It doesn't matter. The Song people on the opposite side have no cover. They face the horse hooves of the Liao people directly. The fierce and hideous appearance of the Liao cavalry made some villagers panic. Some timid people have already started to run away, and many people have left the guys in their hands and run back.

A person's retreat will trigger the collapse of the entire army, especially those villagers who are not organized and disciplined, who do not know that running is useless.

A trace of ferocity appeared on the corner of Xiao Da's mouth. So many Liao soldiers died. If he didn't kill all these people, would he still have the face to lead the troops in the future? He had already seen Wei Qiang, and Xiao Da knew that this person was the organizer of his resistance this time.

He must die Xiao Da stared at Wei Qiang with his eyes, locking him as his must-kill target.

Wei Qiang didn't organize any law enforcement team to suppress those who escaped in the last battle. Seeing that the Liao people were about to rush over, Wei Qiang shouted: "Let the openness be awesome."

Xiao Da was stunned when he was thinking about what this meant, when the Song people on the opposite side immediately flashed to both sides. More than fifty scalpers used by Song people to plow the land rushed towards him. The scalpers' eyes were covered with red cloth, and each cow had a string of firecrackers hanging on the butt.

The explosion of firecrackers and the red cloth covering their eyes made the cows rush forward frantically, colliding with the Liao cavalry. When the war horses collided, they were not the opponent of the scalpers? The road was not too wide. Fifty cows rushed over together. In front of people, it felt like they could not hide at all. The Liao team suddenly felt a wailing sound, and countless people fell to the ground.

Some guys jumped into the fields or woods on both sides, but after walking a few steps, they fell into the trap dug by the villagers in advance. The formation of the Liao** team was incredibly chaotic for a while.

Wei Qiang laughed loudly and pulled out the knife from his waist: "The boys have killed Liao Dog."

His private soldiers still did not run away, and followed Wei Qiang and killed the Liao people who were lying on the ground.

The villagers who were about to run back to the village saw that the situation was getting better, so they also came back with a stick and chased the Liao people who were alone or dared to resist.

Until they chased after more than two miles, Wei Qiang saw that the cattle were killed by the Liao people. The Liao soldiers in front were already gathering together again and did not dare to go up and fight again. They hurriedly took the team back. This time they retreated directly into the village.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and both sides fought torches and prepared to fight again.

People who fought for the first time were easily infected by emotions, and the two consecutive victories made the villagers very excited. Although six or seven hundred people died and injured on the two occasions, the Liao people were at least repelled.

The injured villagers were happy. The elderly, young, women and children in the village had already made preparations. The older girls and wives came to bandage them the wounds.

The wound that was already very painful was forced to hold back in front of them, and they must not hum. If the young man who was not married happened to meet the girl he liked, he would forcefully squeeze out a smile and brag about his courage just now with his companion next to him, but in fact he wanted the girl to hear it and let her see how strong she is.

Xiao Da was very depressed. He had captured several Song army camps himself, but he suffered heavy losses in front of this villa. These villagers blocked his footsteps. His eyes erupted with anger, and he wished he could burn the entire village immediately.

Count the number of people, three thousand and one thousand went, and I was even more determined to burn this village and kill all the people inside to relieve my hatred.

When I returned to the village gate again, I saw the deaths of the Liao soldiers along the way, which could be described as terrible. Many of them were beaten to death by the Song people with blunt weapons.

Xiao Da's mouth trembled sharply and he shouted loudly: "Listen to the Song people inside, now you will give you the last chance to surrender. I will spare you all the time and let you leave with your family safely. If you dare to resist, you will break through the village gate and leave without leaving any other family members."

When some villagers were immediately moved when they heard that the Liao people agreed to let them take their family away, they looked at Wei Qiang timidly. Wei Qiang ignored Xiao Da outside and glanced around: "Which bastard ran away just now?"

As soon as he asked this, the villagers retreated to the back to show that it was not him. Wei Qiang did not seriously investigate and said in a very stern tone: "Remember in the future, if I don't leave, you can't leave either. If I see who dares to run away, don't expect to live in this place in this place in this acre of three cents, Master Wei said that you will get out, you will get out, you are the untouchables, and the same is true for these Liao people."

After Wei Qiang finished speaking, he walked to the door. He didn't know why the Song army had not come to reinforce, but he had no intention of surrendering. The terrain here was very familiar with him. In order to deal with Xu Huaide, he also made arrangements in the village. It was already dark now. If the Liao people dared to come in at night, then it would be not sure who would beat whom.

"Look at Liao Gou, your uncle dug a grave, either bury you, or I lie in it myself and have the ability to put my horse over, but I can't go home and eat a few bites of milk." Wei Qiang said this very manly. After hearing this, the men clapped and cheered.

Xiao Da's face opposite was gloomy. He also knew that he might suffer a great loss if he continued night battles. He didn't know the situation in the village at all, but the villagers could run away with their eyes closed.

Besides, his own troops have been damaged, and it is not feasible to mobilize a large army from behind, because the Song army must be kept in check, and they are more terrifying than these villagers.

Xiao Da thought about it and wait until tomorrow dawn. The first thing he did for tomorrow dawn was to kill all these people.
