Chapter 249 Small Victory
They worked hard in training and they gritted their teeth to forge ahead, but they were ordinary people after all. They had never killed anyone, let alone facing such a large scene of 20,000 soldiers.
Su Qingqing glanced at those people.
"The enemy is densely populated. You don't even need to aim at the beginning. Just pull the bow to its full length and shoot. You will hit the target. If you miss the person, you can shoot the horse. Just don't shoot your own people in the head!
Come on, brothers, let's work hard and let those bastards in Qibei see how powerful we Datong men are."
As a general commanding a large army, Su Qingqing found it easy to inspire morale before a battle, just like eating and drinking.
"As long as you can guarantee to shoot arrows continuously for three hours, I can kill !"
Three hours?
The trembling people were stunned when they heard this. Some turned to look at Su Qingqing and asked, "Only three hours?"
Su Qingqing nodded and said confidently: "Didn't I throw poison in there? Three hours later, they were in chaos. I took the opportunity to take the heads of their leaders. The rest are nothing to worry about.
How about it, three hours, you can hold on!"
Su Qingqing spoke in a relaxed tone, and the people around her didn't seem so scared when she was chatting.
She then said, "If you are a man , then hold on for three hours. After three hours, I will treat you to Qinghua Garden in Datong County. You can have fun as you please."
Rong Que's eyelids twitched.
Su Qingqing turned around and patted him, " Of course, you can't go."
Rong Que touched the tip of his nose and smiled awkwardly, "I thought you were going."
Su Qingqing raised her voice, "I am going!"
Rong Que suddenly: ...
Hahahahahahaha.
Laughter broke out immediately.
The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Su Qingqing pulled the bow to its full extent, put three arrows on it, and said no more. Her eyes were fixed on the person coming from the opposite side.
"Three, two, one"
Whoosh~
She loosened the bow, and three arrows were shot out at once.
The one in the middle shot straight through the eyes of the enemy's first row of horses, and the remaining two accurately shot through the legs of the two horses on the left and right.
Suddenly, the horses were startled and knelt down on their front hooves, and the soldiers who followed closely behind were tripped and fell one after another.
When the cavalry is out on a march, the biggest taboo among military strategists is to kneel in the front row.
When marching rapidly, if the front row kneels down, the continuous reaction from those behind is too great, so the soldiers in the first row are often experienced veterans in marching and fighting.
Unfortunately, they were facing the ancestor of the battlefield.
Even experienced veterans could not withstand Su Qingqing's accurate attack. The arrows she shot had almost no connection in between.
The first three shots were fired, and before the noise started, the second three shots were fired.
During this period, no one on the city wall moved except Su Qingqing.
Everyone stared in amazement as Su Qingqing shot the arrows in her hand, and stared in amazement as the first row of opponents were all knocked down by her. The speed was so fast that everything happened in a flash.
Immediately afterwards, Su Qingqing ordered, "Shoot!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the people who were shocked by her didn't even have time to react and just operated mechanically.
Nock the arrow, draw the bow, and shoot.
hit!
The first launch caused by muscle memory was the best encouragement for going to the battlefield for the first time. After that, these people gradually stabilized their minds and their skills gradually reached their peak.
Under Su Qingqing's command, they always kept the opponent's offensive line two hundred meters away.
During this period, Rong Que Jixiang's mission was the same as those of the common people, which was to stop the enemy's offensive.
But Su Qingqing's bow and arrow had a longer range than theirs, and she was aiming and shooting.
As a veteran on the battlefield, she could tell at a glance which soldiers were veterans and which were new recruits in the enemy's team.
She just needs to put all these veterans in place, and the remaining recruits...
The newcomers were like a blank sheet of paper, and Su Qingqing was thinking of recruiting them.
Of course, the prerequisite is that she can win this battle beautifully.
The other side quickly realized Su Qingqing's intention and immediately adjusted their offensive formation.
Originally, the veterans took the lead, but now they have been transferred to the rear and the new recruits have rushed to the front line.
Seeing the other side adjusting their formation, Su Qingqing immediately ordered, "Stop!"
She counted down to ten, released the new recruits and advanced a hundred meters, then gave the order again, "Fire the kerosene!"
A fireball was immediately thrown into the air, and Su Qingqing and the others shot arrows, pushing the fireball directly towards the opponent's camp.
Arrows were shot out like rain, and immediately, a line of fire was burned in the enemy's camp.
Those who had not yet crossed the line of fire took a step back in panic, while those who had been let in by Su Qingqing were about to close the door and beat the dog.
To deal with these people, Su Qingqing doesn't even need to take action. The archers selected from the people are enough to handle it.
Her and Rong Que Jixiang's mission was to maintain the fire line and prevent more people from breaking through.
Soon, the first group of 500 people who were deliberately allowed to approach by Su Qingqing were all killed. At this time, it was only half a quarter of an hour since the battle started.
When those civilian archers thought that they only had less than 20 people on their side and could achieve such a crushing victory against the enemy's 20,000-strong army, they were extremely excited.
Su Qingqing almost never stopped drawing the bow, and she always maintained the line of fire. As long as someone from the other side rushed forward, her arrow could accurately suppress him.
The opponent soon realized that such a strong attack would not work, and they suspended the attack.
However, at the moment when the other party paused, Su Qingqing ordered everyone to lie down with their eyes closed and rest. She pulled the bow again and threw a black powder bullet over.
boom!
A huge explosion went off in the opposing camp, spraying poison.
The explosion forced the enemy to retreat 200 meters from their resting area.
At this distance, no one can attack anyone else. "Master."
Jixiang brought the medicine soup prepared by the monks to Su Qingqing. Su Qingqing drank it all up, then turned around and told Zhao Ji inside the city wall, "Take the people out. You still remember what I taught you before!"
Zhao Ji immediately waved his hand, "Don't worry, Madam!"
The raging fire blocked the view, and the other party retreated for a distance. Zhao Ji immediately took several yamen runners who knew martial arts and went out of the city gate.
Their main task is to go out and pick up arrow feathers.
Those shot by the other side.
While Su Qingqing and her companions were attacking the enemy with bows and arrows, the enemy was of course also attacking them with bows and crossbows. However, Su Qingqing and her companions were on the city wall, so basically all of their arrows missed the target.
In the fierce fighting on the battlefield, when there is no time for supplies, whoever can seize the first battlefield resources will have an easier time winning.
This is also why Su Qingqing used black powder and radioactive fire walls.
She stood on the city wall, watching the other party's movements without blinking.
Zhao Ji and his men threw all the arrow feathers they picked up into the trenches that had been dug earlier.
Behind the trenches was another group of people.
They didn't know Kung Fu and their movements were not as agile as those in front of them. They were only responsible for moving the arrow feathers in the trenches back to the city.
With the cooperation of both parties, the battlefield was soon cleaned up. While bringing back the arrow feathers, they also found a lot of other things from the 500 people who were let in and shot.
