Chapter 488 Abandoned Son
"Person Bao, you will be guarding here with your subordinates, occupying the high slopes on both sides, and be sure to block the enemy." Jian Sui looked at the terrain and found that there was a good terrain under his feet. Although it was not steep, he was finally condescending.
"How can you defend this, general, a humble position?" Bao Shankui was anxious. The other party was coming with great force and was crowded. How can you block this small hill that was less than a meter high?
"Master Bao, the mountain road is narrow and there are many people who cannot be used. If you take people here to resist, I will go to the rear to arrange troops. Look, that terrain is more suitable. As long as you block the mountain road with huge rocks and occupy both sides, you will definitely be able to block the other side." Jian Sui pointed to a hillside a mile away, which was indeed more suitable.
"You can retreat after half an hour, or after half an hour, otherwise it will be difficult for you and I to explain to the higher authorities. Captain Bao, you and the soldiers under your command are at the end, and it is not Jian who is favored by one or the other. Moreover, if you succeed this time, the greatest contribution is that Captain Bao. I will definitely write to the court to ask for the credit for Captain Bao." Jian Sui used both soft and hard, so he did not believe that the other party would not surrender.
"Okay, half an hour, I will definitely hold on to my humble position." Bao Shankui made a fuss and had no choice at all, so it would be better to take a gamble. After all, there are five hundred brothers, and the other party has not arrived yet, and there is still a stick of incense to prepare for the formation.
"Okay, don't worry, Captain Bao, I will go back and prepare the fortifications as soon as possible." Jian Sui said that, and then left.
"Brothers, follow me, guard the high places and move stones. The small ones are used to smash, and the big ones are used to cover, fast, fast!" Bao Shankui shouted loudly. Cutting wood was originally a better defense method, but there is no right tool at the moment, and there is no time left.
"Arrowman, get ready, get ready!" Bao Shankui opened his voice and kept mobilizing his soldiers to set up formations. If he wanted to hinder the opponent's pace, the best thing was to attack remotely.
"Let me go!" Seeing that he entered the range of hundreds of steps, Bao Shankui shouted loudly.
He was condescending and shooting the bow and arrow barely reached a hundred steps, but as long as it was not shot into the eye, it would basically be harmless.
The soldiers of the Loyal and Brave Army lowered their heads and remained silent. They did not enter the effective range and would not launch an attack, otherwise they would waste time and resources.
Dozens of feathered arrows flew into the crowd, without hindering the pace of the loyal and brave army at all, and were still approaching quickly.
"Continue to shoot!" Bao Shankui was quite annoyed and looked down on others so much.
I saw a loyal and brave soldier who was caught in the arrow and directly pulled out his feather arrow and threw it on the ground. He only barely broke his armor and had no lethality at all.
"Brothers, rush!"
Han Zaiwu shouted loudly and rushed to the hillside first. At this time, the distance was only fifty steps and he would soon enter the effective range of the cavalry crossbow.
"Bang~" Han Zaiwu pulled the trigger and shot the crossbow arrows out, not looking at the results at all. He installed crossbow arrows while running. The cavalry crossbow has a short range and is small in power, but it is easy to load.
"Bang~" Another shot, and the soldiers following him were also the same.
Bao Shankui looked at the situation in front of him and felt a headache. They had too few bows and arrows and insufficient power, but the other party had a crossbow, which was too big.
"Smash!" More and more people were shot in the arrow, but the opponent's speed did not slow down at all. If this continues, it can still block a lot.
As soon as Bao Shankui finished shouting, he felt a terrified heartbroken. He quickly looked up and saw a man holding a strong bow in his hand and aiming at him eighty steps away.
When Bao Shankui looked at him, Sun Yu just let go of the bowstring and the feather arrow flashed and disappeared.
I saw a black dot flying over, and he lay on the ground without any moral integrity. Compared to his life, everything else was irrelevant.
Bao Shankui escaped by luck, and the personal soldiers behind him were shot in the chest with an arrow. Even with iron armor, they still couldn't stop it. The entire arrow pierced into the flesh. If it was half an inch deeper, it would pierce the heart.
"You take him to the back first." Bao Shankui looked at following him
Nian's personal guard couldn't bear it and was ready to let him retreat to the large army behind first.
"Stay smashed it for me!" Captain Bao grabbed the stone and threw it forward. This thing is lethal than the light bows and arrows under his command.
Every time he threw the stone, he quickly lowered his body and did not give Sun Yu a chance to shoot him.
Sun Yu didn't force it. He stood on a big rock, fired his bow left and right, aimed at the person wearing armor, and basically lost his combat power with one arrow. This is the ultimate of a strong archer, and it is not inferior to the current musket, but it is too difficult to train a qualified or even excellent archer!
Han Zaiwu, who rushed up the hillside, was quite annoyed. He was just now in the face by a stone. Fortunately, the stone was not big, but he was still bleeding.
The cavalry crossbow was thrown to the ground, and the sharp long sword was unsheathed, and they only rushed to the enemy.
It is about to collapse at one touch, and the defeat is like a mountain of defeat, and there is no possibility of confrontation at all.
When the cavalry battalion was first established, it was to select the best young soldiers. After the past two years of polishing, they were as strong as calves. The weapons and equipment were excellent. Facing a weak brigade with only a worn-out weapon and a vegetable-like face, they were like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Surrender and don't kill!" Han Zaiwu shouted loudly, then kicked over a person.
"Sir, let's retreat!" The personal soldiers protected Bao Shankui, and more and more surrendered. There were not many elite soldiers in armor, and they were basically killed.
"Hey! Withdraw!" Bao Shankui stomped his feet, and if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to leave. He didn't hold on for even a quarter of an hour and lost so many people. How should he explain to the general later?
Bao Shankui turned around and ran away with more than a dozen personal guards. As for the ordinary soldiers, they directly abandoned them, at least they could resist them.
As soon as Bao Shankui retreated, he lost all his resistance, either escaping or surrendering.
Han Zaiwu and his men turned a blind eye to the surrendered people and directly passed them to continue pursuing them. Naturally, the prisoners were treated by those behind.
Bao Shankui did not run fast. He and his personal guards were not as good as those ordinary soldiers. They were not good at fighting. When they ran away, they threw their weapons and became windy under their feet.
"Sir, sir!" The personal soldiers who had been evacuated with arrows had run back and said panting.
"What's wrong? Why are you running back?" Bao Shankui was very moved. He had already gone to the safe area and actually came back to pick him up. There were not many such loyal and brave people.
"General, general and others ran away, and there was no formation at all." The personal soldiers gasped and wanted to curse. He had just climbed up the hillside behind, without even a figure.
"Damn it, Jian Sui actually treated me as an abandoned son." Bao Shankui was extremely angry. It turned out that Jian Sui had the idea from the beginning to let him leave the rear.
"Run into the mountains!" Bao Shankui looked at the pursuers behind and ran along the mountain road. He had no chance to escape, so he could only run to both sides and get into the mountains.
Bao Shankui and his party were all elite armored, with obvious goals. As soon as they ran to both sides of the road, they were discovered by Sun Yu.
Open the Tianji bow and shoot with an arrow without hesitation.
The leading personal soldier was shot in the neck with an arrow and fell to the ground.
Bao Shankui turned his head and saw that Sun Yu continued to shoot his bow and arrows forty steps away.
The distance between eighty steps before was directly broken. Now that he was so close, Bao Shankui knew that the armor on his body could not protect him at all. As long as he dared to escape, he could not avoid the deadly feather arrow.
"Brothers, surrender!" Bao Shankui threw away his weapon, hugged his head with his hands, and knelt on the ground.
Sun Yu, who had just aimed at him, saw Bao Shankui kneeling, and turned the arrow directly and shot at another unlucky guy.
The elite troops of the loyal and brave army continued to chase and kill, and some people stayed behind to treat these prisoners. Bao Shankui was honored to become one of the prisoners.
"Sir, our family is all in Jiangning." The personal soldiers knelt on the ground, their hearts full of worries.
"We'll do our best!" Bao Shankui felt that defeat was inevitable. Now he saved his life first, and then he would think of something else later.
"Take off all the armor!" said the loyal and brave soldier who stayed to arrest prisoners of war, holding a cavalry crossbow.
The weapons that were originally discarded were confiscated. As long as the weapons and armor were taken away, there would be no more resistance.
At the highest point of the terrain, there are rock cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, and a defensive wall made of stones stretches across it. Han Qingfeng, the guard of the checkpoint, held a long sword at his waist, and kept patrolling the pass.
Han Qingfeng was originally responsible for guarding the gate in the palace, but later he was transferred here to serve as the guard general. He had a few encounters with Sun Yu. The pair of fine iron wrist guards on his arm were given by Sun Yu.
Han Qingfeng stroked his wrist guards, and the person he admired the most was Sun Yu. If Sun Yu passed by, he would not mind opening the door and letting people go.
"General, someone is here!" There is an arrow tower above the pass, which not only allows you to attack from a distance, but also allows you to climb high and look into the distance, so that you can discover the enemy situation one step earlier.
"Is there a cavalry?" Han Qingfeng didn't know whether he wanted Sun Yu to appear or not.
This means that these two paths will make him let go of everything and go to Sun Yu, which is difficult to do. But if Sun Yu really appears, he will choose to go with the flow. Last night, he sent his confidant to temporarily hide his wife, children and parents.
"No!" The soldier on the arrow tower replied, whether there are any horses can be seen at a glance.
"How many people? How many a player is?" Han Qingfeng was a little disappointed.
"There are three or four hundred people at the moment, and there are still people behind them, with a armor rate of 1.5%!" The soldiers on the arrow tower silently estimated in their hearts, which was roughly the same.
Han Qingfeng held his forehead with his hands, and he couldn't figure out which team this was. He was not as good as his commander with a half percent of the armor.
In fact, it was overestimated. Jian Sui rushed to the front with his personal soldiers, which was considered to have increased the proportion of A, otherwise it would have been like this.
"General Han, there must be reinforcements." A man was wearing Yulin's house, holding his waist knife, and was climbing up the steps, followed by more than a dozen personal guards.
This person is one of the guards of the Southern Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace, named Ye Jin. Before, Han Qingfeng was guarding the imperial city, he had a bad relationship with this person. This person was Xiao Yi's lackey, and Han Qingfeng had never wanted to join him.
Xiao Yi was growing more and more powerful, so he found an excuse to kick Han Qingfeng out of the imperial city garrison. Han Qingfeng hated this person even more.
Although Ye Jin was tall and big, he looked like a powerful general, but in fact he was accustomed to changing his ruthlessness and could do whatever he could to climb up.
After King Li Congshan entered the palace, he quickly moved closer to him. Last night, he volunteered to leave the palace overnight to pass the order.
"General Han, once the reinforcements arrive, you will be able to rest assured!" The person who arrived with Ye Jin was the popular man in the palace, the small singer in the past, and the current eunuch Shan.
It was the personal eunuch of the eldest prince Li Zhongyu who helped Xiao Yi to trick the eldest prince away and gradually emerged in the palace.
Han Qingfeng didn't know that Xiao Yi was hiding, and he thought that they were Xiao Yimou's job, and he felt even more unhappy.
"Don't worry, Mr. Shan, Han is stationed here, and he must be as solid as a god." Han Qingfeng sighed in his heart. He had designed methods before, but he did not expect that reinforcements might not be used.
"That's good. Our family knows General Han's ability." Eunuch Shan was so scared that he didn't want to come at all. But Xiao Yi disappeared. He was very panicked now. In order to show his loyalty, he could only bite the bullet and go to the sea of fire.
"General Han, you can open the city gate!" The person in front was less than two hundred steps away from the pass, and his outfit was already very obvious. It was the Tang army, and Ye Jin said.
