Chapter 261 Bravely Fighting Strong Enemies
For Song Xi, Xingqing Mansion is a special place.
It is not only a border fortress between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yunchuan Grassland, but also the sad place where the father of Song Dynasty died with hatred.
Song Xi lost his important father here and became completely alone on the run.
If it weren't for Yu Yalan's companionship and support all the way, I'm afraid he would have turned into a pile of loess that no one cares about.
Now, he has regained his strength and set foot on this land again. Behind him are no longer the scarred and remnant soldiers, and he is no longer the poor fugitive who saved his father in embarrassment.
He has powerful and heroic tiger troops under his command, and advanced equipment is ready for use. Countless capable people and generals are his subordinates. He can finally fight with all his strength in the face of powerful enemies!
The Tatars have been the fatal enemies of the Song family for hundreds of years, and they are also life-or-death enemies who have a hatred of genocide against Song Xi.
The Song family's artillery fire was prepared for them. Song Xi wanted to use the blood of the Tatars to comfort the spirits of his father and brother in heaven!
This time the Tatar general happened to be the seventh prince Batu Kemu. Not only did he collude with the eldest prince in the deal and conspire to kill his father and brother, but after the fall of Ganzhou, he also massacred the people of Zhou Dynasty and left innocent people as empty stomachs.
of food or lowly slaves.
Batu Kemu was extremely vicious and committed all kinds of bad things. He had a deep hatred for the Song family who had guarded the border for many years. As soon as he received the news that the Song family's only surviving son, he immediately led his troops to attack the northwest without hesitation.
The other party didn't know where Song Xi was hiding, but vaguely heard that he had become the new master of Pingliang. Even though he knew that it was easier for Duke Lu to sneak in, Batukemu still attacked Pingliang crazily.
The Tatars brought 80,000 troops and horses, confident that Xingqing Mansion was already within their grasp.
They have not investigated Song Xi's background, nor do they care about the combat prowess of this unknown second son of the Song family.
After all, Dingbei Hou and his son were both defeated by them. How could a mere Song Xi cause trouble?
Batu Kemu has always been famous in Tatar for his bravery and proficiency in fighting, but he has never defeated the Song family and his son head-on. His ability to defeat the Song family's army and capture Ganzhou was actually due to his internal and external cooperation with the eldest prince.
Song Haocang and Song Cheng were poisoned by their henchmen with cartilage poison before going to the battle. After going to the battlefield, they were naturally weak and unable to exert their inner strength in martial arts. Batukemu took the opportunity to lead his troops to surround and kill Song Cheng, and also teamed up with Xiang Rui and others to severely injure them.
Song Haocang.
Song Xi still remembers this hatred, and it was also the real reason why he traveled all the way to Xingqing Mansion to fight.
He wants to kill his enemies with his own hands on this land and completely wash away the Song family's humiliation and blood and tears!
…
The day of the first battle soon came, and Batu Kemu led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack under the wall of the border city.
Seeing the Zhou soldiers on the tower who were obviously much more energetic, the Tatar soldiers all looked surprised.
"These Zhou people seem to have gained a lot of weight. How come they built such a high city wall after not being here for a long time? Pingliang has been having a good time recently. It seems that we should be able to grab a lot of good things this time."
"They must have food! We have been starving in Yunchuan for so many years, and these Dazhou untouchables have actually eaten delicious food! It is absolutely disgusting! Hand over the food quickly! That is not something you untouchables can eat!"
"That's it! Open the city gate quickly and welcome our seventh prince in in all his glory, otherwise we will let you die without a burial place!"
Batukemu was very proud to hear the clamor of his subordinates, and looked at the enemies on the tower with his proud head raised.
He glanced at the man in the center with contemptuous eyes, and he immediately made corresponding guesses in his heart.
"Are you Song Haocang's youngest son? You don't look like much at all! He's white and tender and is suitable for drinking wine, but he's barely qualified to be a big white sheep!"
The Tatar soldiers on the side laughed in agreement and looked at the people on the tower with greedy faces.
The border prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty were their "granaries", and their appetites must be satisfied at all times.
Both the people and the food must be left at their disposal. A group of "big white sheep" are not qualified to challenge the great and heroic Tatars!
Song Xi, who was standing on the tower, looked at the Tatar army coldly, his deep black eyes full of hatred and murderous intent.
He raised his right hand to signal the firecrackers to take up their positions immediately, and he also aimed his sniper firecrackers at the enemy.
The black metal gun barrels were pointed at the Tatar soldiers under the city wall, and the invisible pressure was quickly condensing the tense atmosphere.
The Tatars who were still hurling insults could not help but change their expressions, and stared at the Zhou soldiers on the tower with vigilance.
"What? You didn't dare to talk back after what I said? What are you doing with the black pipe at us? You don't think that a black pipe can repel us, do you? The little sheep of Dazhou, come out and kill us if you have the guts.
So happy! What’s the point of hiding in the wall..."
"boom!"
After a gunshot, the arrogant and domineering Batukemu fell from his horse.
The bloody hole on his forehead was frightening, and there was still a bit of shock in his eyes that he couldn't close his eyes.
The surrounding Tatar soldiers panicked for a moment. They tried to save the enemy but found that they were unable to save their lives. Several small bosses began to instruct the soldiers to attack the city as quickly as possible to avoid being injured by the strange weapons again.
After Song Xi fired the first shot, the Fire Gun Corps followed suit and fired.
The special regiment has undergone rigorous training and is extremely powerful. Every bullet accurately hits the enemy's vital points.
There was chaos immediately under the city wall. All the Tatar soldiers were running around for cover. Those who were in the front quickly retreated to the rear. Unfortunately, there were too many people and they could not escape in time.
Continuous gunshots rang out, and many Tatar soldiers were killed on the spot.
The city gates of Xingqing Mansion were still tightly closed, and no soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were injured or killed.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the Tatar army immediately shouted to evacuate and prepared to return to the camp. The weapons of the Zhou people were too terrifying, and they had to go back first to discuss a way to deal with it.
The body of the seventh prince must also be taken back for burial, otherwise the Great Khan will definitely punish him.
The Tatars fled for a distance and then looked back and found that Zhou's soldiers had not left the city to pursue them. Even the city gates remained closed, as if they did not intend to fight them head-on.
"Bah! These weak and incompetent white sheep! They only dare to hide behind the city wall and play tricks. If you have the ability, come out and compete with us! See how I can twist the heads of these ants!"
"What on earth is that weapon? Why is it faster than a crossbow? It can kill our people in the blink of an eye, and I don't even have a chance to block it with my sword!"
"Who knows, they don't dare to leave the city anyway. If we make another raid at night, I don't believe they can still aim at it in vain!"
Several young Tatar generals were discussing the plan for a night attack, and while fleeing, they scolded the cunning Zhou army.
