Chapter 1883 The First Battle of the Musket(1/2)
Xiao Ding, the governor of Yunneizhou, has the habit of being dazed every morning after getting up.
When I was in a daze, my mind was empty and I didn’t think about anything. That was a very comfortable state.
"oh……"
He woke up because he heard footsteps.
An official came in and frowned at him, "Fine and steady, let's be wary of Zhongjing Road."
Xiao Ding only felt his mind was very ethereal and asked lightly: "Why?"
"The Song people are moving apart." The official handed over the document, "It said that he discovered that the Song army in the Xijin Prefecture area had moving apart."
"It's strange that it's strange that it's strange. Can Xijin Mansion still be called? If you want to fight, you must first hit Datong Mansion. Why are we panic?"
The officials felt that it was, "It was just an order from Zhongjing Road..."
He glanced outside and turned around and said, "Your Majesty hasn't gone out to hunt for a year last year and has been on Zhongjing Road, so be careful!"
Xiao Ding said lightly: "The tribes on the Jing Road are repeated and unsafe. The other side of Tokyo Road is desolate and like wilderness, and it is chilly. As for our side, we are now sandwiched by the Song people, and His Majesty will not come, so... why didn't he hunt? Because the Nanjing Road was lost, the Great Liao was passive everywhere."
This is a joke, and the officials said in a very conflicted manner: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... seems to be a little scared."
After the fall of the Yanshan Road in Xijin Prefecture, the Song Dynasty, Yelu Hongji lost the courage to compete with the Song Dynasty and just wanted to stay in the endgame until he died of old age.
"Is this like the Song people in the past?" Xiao Ding said self-deprecatingly: "The Song people in the past were the same. They would rather give annual monies than regroup and fight with us. The whole country is in panic. Now that there are one on both sides, we have become shy turtles, are we ashamed?"
The official sighed: "That's what I said, but be careful, be careful when someone hears it."
"I'm afraid of it!" Xiao Ding stood up and stretched, feeling refreshed. "I have been in charge of Yunneizhou for seven years. Whether it is Xixia or Song people, who dares to come to challenge wildfire?"
He drank the warm tea and said disdainfully: "What about the Song people? What about Shen An? I just didn't meet someone! If I met someone, I would let His Majesty know what a mistake it would be to trap someone here for seven years!"
Xiao Ding was originally a powerful general, but he was not very talented and offended Shangguan. Later, he was driven to Yunneizhou to be the guard.
Yunneizhou is probably the same as the southwest part of the Song Dynasty. It is not only remote, but there is no way to get promoted. So he stayed for seven years and was full of complaints.
As for confidence...
In fact, humans have a confident physique. In an environment where there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, who will be convinced by whom!
Not to mention Shen An, even if Huo Qubing came, Xiao Ding would dare to beep a few times.
After breakfast, Xiao Ding took his men to the city wall to patrol.
You can see tender green on the grassland, with stars dotted in your sight, making you feel refreshed.
"I have no place to use all my strength, so I feel so nervous!"
Xiao Ding sighed routinely.
"Detailed, stable, invincible!"
The custom of the subordinates praised it.
"The scout is back."
"So fast!"
In the distance, a team of cavalry appeared, with a very fast speed and a little embarrassed.
"Didn't you meet an enemy?" someone muttered.
"Good thing!" Xiao Ding was delighted and said, "Get together!"
Amid the sound of the horn, the cavalry began to assemble.
The scout came, and smoke and dust appeared in the distance.
"The Song army is here."
The scout rushed up and Xiao Ding asked, "How many people?"
"At least five thousand cavalrymen, I don't know the follow-up!"
"This is the forward." Xiao Ding ordered: "Go to Datong immediately to report the message and let them be on guard."
Then he turned around and said, "Follow somebody to attack and defeat their forward."
Yunneizhou was a major defense against the Western thieves. Later, it became a major defense against the Song Dynasty. There were originally 6,000 people. Later, Yelu Hongji was in a state of war and sent more than 10,000 cavalry, totaling about 20,000 troops, with strong strength.
The vanguard of the five thousand Song army was just a vanguard, so Xiao Ding was full of confidence.
He rushed out with ten thousand cavalrymen.
Smoke and dust rolling in front of them.
"Kill!"
The Liao army rushed over, and after the distance between the two sides was closer, the Song army dismounted strangely.
"Run up!"
Xiao Ding was ecstatic and felt that he had encountered a group of sticks.
"kill!"
The Song army was sorting out things, looking like fire sticks.
And in the later places, smoke and dust rose again.
"The Song army is here, defeat the Song army in front of us, let's go back!"
Xiao Ding felt that God was his father, otherwise how could he bring such a great opportunity to make contributions?
A bunch of sticks actually dismounted...
They were not knives and axes, and they didn't see crossbows, so they just fiddled with fire sticks, ready to block the trampling of ten thousand cavalrymen.
Is this a brainless person?
Why dismount if you are not stupid?
Xiao Ding felt so happy that he couldn't help but whistle to the sky...
"ah……"
As long as the five or six thousand Song troops are defeated before the arrival of the Song army, the rest will be simple.
With a long whistle, the Song soldiers lined up in neat arrays and raised the "fire stick" in their hands.
"volley!"
A Song general raised his sword and looked at Xiao Ding in the long roar with his eyes looking at Sabi, shouted loudly, and then a dense explosion sound came.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
With the smoke of gunpowder, the Liao people at the forefront were all dismissed.
"What's this?"
Xiao Ding felt that he must be dazzled.
A Liao army felt that his shoulder was bitten and then he felt severely painful.
He glanced at his shoulder, and blood was already started.
"volley!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
A dense lead bomb flew over and formed a large net.
The Liao army bumped head-on, and the men screamed and fell down.
"What is this?" Xiao Ding felt that he must have encountered ghosts and gods, otherwise why would he just see the smoke coming out, and the people here would fall down in rows.
"volley!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
The Song army fired again, and the Liao army in front was already terrible and its morale fell rapidly.
"Detailed and stable, this is a trap!"
Xiao Ding looked ahead blankly and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!"
This is a trap, but what shocked him even more was the weapons of the Song army, the kind of fire stick that would smoke!
"retreat!"
Xiao Ding felt that he was just a stick!
The Song army clearly tempted the enemy, but he thought he was here to die.
The Liao army began to turn around, and Peng Xia shouted: "Shit!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
The Liao army that was turning around in front fell down, and the rest became even more panicked. They were running for life in a panic, and even hit their comrades and both were dismissed.
"The Duke is here!"
The sound of horse hooves behind him gradually became clear, and more than 20,000 cavalry rushed up.
To be continued...
