Chapter 97
"General Zhao, the iron cavalry of Jiannu Zhengbai Banner is coming soon, let the brothers prepare." Gao Shixin pointed to the east and said.
"The last one will obey the order!" Zhao Shujiao said.
About half an hour later, the three thousand Zhengbai Banner Jurchen cavalry of Huang Taiji arrived outside Ping'an Fortress.
"This place is just a small fort and four belles. As long as our army launches an attack, it will be able to break through in one fell swoop!" Abatai pointed at the smallest city of Ping'an Fort in front of him.
"No need, give up. Our army only has cavalry and cannot break through this city. If we attack for a strong force, we will suffer heavy losses! The lives of every warrior of my Jurchen are precious and should not be wasted in siege battles." Although Huang Taiji wanted to immediately catch the guy who caused countless troubles for their Dajin repeatedly and tear this guy to pieces, he still gave up the idea of siege.
There are gains and deeds, this is the real hero.
Huang Taiji knew that Gao Shixin was a great threat to their Later Jin, but he also knew that with the barrier of the city wall, the Later Jin army could not surround the Ping'an Fort City, which means that even if the Later Jin army paid a significant price to capture Ping'an Fort, there was no guarantee that it would be able to kill that troubled guy. If he ran away and lost a group of Great Jin warriors in vain, it would be a big loss.
The Later Jin army circled a few circles outside the city and sent a loud soldier about a hundred steps away from the city. They raised their heads and shouted to the top of the city: "Listen to the guards in the city! Hurry up and hand over the guy who had just entered the city. That was the murderer who killed my Dajin civilian! As long as you hand over this person, the Four Beile will ensure that you have peace and safety in the Fortress!"
"Bah!" | Zhao Shujiao spat a mouthful of phlegm, pulled the arrow, and shot the guy who was calling under the city with an arrow.
The distance was too far, and when the arrow flew to the Later Jin soldier, there was no more force. The Later Jin soldier waved his tiger spear and gently tweeted it, knocking the arrow shot by Zhao Shujiao to the ground.
"General Zhao, look at me!" Gao Shixin pulled out his bow and arrow and aimed at the Later Jin soldier a hundred steps away.
With a lightning relaxed fingers, a heavy arrow flew down from the city like lightning, heading straight for the Later Jin soldier.
The Later Jin soldiers found the feather arrow shot towards him. He saw a small black dot flying towards his eyes and quickly lowered his head to dodge. Unexpectedly, the arrow was very fast. The Later Jin soldiers lowered their heads, but the arrow suddenly fell down and shot on the neck of his war horse, piercing deeply into the neck. Only a sad neighing sound of the war horse was heard. The pain-struck war horse suddenly raised its front hooves and raised it high, almost lifting the Later Jin soldiers off the horse. The front hooves of the war horse were raised and then landed again. Just as the horse's hooves fell to the ground, and when the Later Jin soldiers were shocked suddenly, a sharp arrow shot accurately on his cheekbones and pricked deeply on his face.
Gao Shixin shot out a continuous bead arrow. The first arrow seemed to aim at the face of the Later Jin soldiers, but actually aimed at the neck of the war horse. During the flight, the arrow fell down under the action of gravity and just shot the war horse. The war horse was frightened and jumped up. When it landed again, Gao Shixin's second arrow arrived and could avoid the helmet and armor of the Later Jin soldiers and shoot into the face.
"Ah!" The Later Jin soldiers fell from the horse's back, rolling on the ground with pain, making heart-wrenching screams.
Several Later Jin soldiers immediately stepped forward and carried their injured companions down. When the Later Jin soldiers were carried back, Huang Taiji walked up to check the injuries. He saw arrowheads piercing deeply on the cheekbones, shooting through the sinuses, and donating blood and mucus overflowing along the arrow shaft.
The Later Jin soldiers screamed in pain. The soldiers around him looked at his injuries and shook their heads.
"This is no longer helpful!" said a soldier from the Later Jin Dynasty.
These days, after suffering such severe injuries, it must be no cure. The arrow shot through the sinuses, which is too close to the head. As soon as the wound gets inflamed, thick water will enter the brain, and it will be completely out of cure.
Because the distance was too far, Gao Shixin failed to shoot through the skull of the Later Jin soldiers, so this arrow could only shoot this guy seriously, but instead increased the guy's pain. He could not die for a while and would die in pain in a few days.
Abatai was furious: "Siege the city! Capture the Ping'an Fortress and massacre the city!"
Huang Taiji hurriedly advised: "Brother Seven, don't be impulsive! Otherwise, you will be trapped in this thief!"
Gao Shixin was not afraid of the Later Jin army siege at all. With the few people on the opposite side, if he attacked Ping'an Fortress, he could make the siege of the Later Jin soldiers suffer heavy losses. He felt that his archery skills had improved another step. As long as the arrow tube was enough, and the city wall blocked the opponent's hand-to-hand combat soldiers and cavalry close to him, he could use his precise archery skills to shoot at least 500 to 600 Later Jin soldiers!
Huang Taiji and Abatai stayed outside the city for a while, but in the end they could only withdraw their troops helplessly.
Zhao Rujiao bowed respectfully: "General Gao is really like a god of archery! In ancient times, Xue Rengui had three arrows to control Tianshan, and now General Gao has two arrows to retreat to Jiannu!"
The beautiful pearl arrow just now really shocked all the Ming army in Ping'an Fort City. The Later Jin soldiers were more than 100 steps away. Ordinary people had no power to fly so far. The opponent could easily dodge or knock down with weapons. However, Gao Shixin's pearl arrow was as fast as lightning, shooting horses first and then people, and he completed it in one go, dealing with the Later Jin soldier.
Gao Shixin smiled and said, "General Zhao has been too rewarded. If it weren't for the Ping'an Fort City, Jiannu would be willing to give up? With the Ping'an Fort and the city wall blocking Jiannu, they might feel that the strong attack is not worth the loss, so they withdrew their troops."
"No one can compare to General Gao's archery skills! The general originally thought that he was superb in archery skills, but when compared with General Gao, it was too far behind!" Zhao Rujiao sighed.
"General Zhao, Gao has to go back to Liaoyang to interrogate the criminals. Remember, Jiannu may come to attack at any time and be prepared. The Liaodong city wall is already full of holes, and Jiannu may enter through gaps everywhere at any time. If Jiannu attacks, you must not go out of the city to meet him. You should not stick to it! As long as Jiannu attacks, Gao will naturally lead his army to rescue him." Gao Shixin explained and then rushed back to Liaoyang.
Gao Shixin bid farewell to Zhao Rujiao and rushed back to Liaoyang.
Zhai Fa has been taken back to Liaoyang by the Jinyiwei. More than 200 captured caravan staff and more than 100 captured caravan guards were all imprisoned in prison. The prison in Liaoyang City was overcrowded.
When Xiong Tingbi saw Gao Shixin come back, he called him over: "Gao Baihu, I didn't expect you to really dare to touch Shanxi merchants! Those profiteers have people in the court, so this matter is probably not good for the aftermath, right?"
"Jinlu Xiong, they were transporting food out of seclusion and transporting food to Jiannu! We caught one of us and all the stolen goods were captured! And after we caught them, the Jiannu cavalry rushed to save them! If the officials had not cut off the rear and led Jiannu away, I am afraid that none of our brothers would come back!" Gao Shixin replied.
Xiong Tingbi said: "The slaves from Liaodong are countless, from civil officials to military generals! I came to Liaodong for the second time and would definitely catch all the guys who harmed the country and the people! Gao Baihu, in fact, what you do is the same as what I do! No matter how deep the water in Liaodong is, I will flow over! I don't believe it anymore. Do those people have any other kingly laws in their eyes?"
