Chapter 38: Chang'an's death, what's the difference between death here?
The next day, early morning.
On the official road south of the new city, Wang Yue, who had been running for nearly two hundred miles a day and night, walked leisurely and believed in his horse.
At this moment, there was no one on the road. The imminent war cleared all the villages outside the new city into the county town. After all, if it really started to fight, it would definitely be a battlefield. Although the Baigou River can be passed by horses and wading through water in some places, the bridge in Baigou Post is still the key point of competition.
The bridge is surrounded by dozens of miles a battlefield.
"What a great country!"
Wang Yue held up the gourd full of goat milk, sighing while replenishing nutrition.
In fact, the Xijin Prefecture under the rule of the Liao Kingdom is not inferior to the Central Plains. Even the counties near the border like Xincheng have tens of thousands of households. The total number of six prefectures and eleven counties in the Xijin Prefecture exceeded that of the Song Dynasty, so the average number of households is also far higher than that of the Song Dynasty. In addition, the hidden households brought about by the powerful strength of the aristocratic families, and the refugees who fled from other places before, it is estimated that the population of the entire Xijin Prefecture will not be less than 1.5 million, which is not considered the prefectures and counties belonging to Pingzhou.
This is also a lot.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard for more than 20 years, and even tied a rope to immigrate from the south, causing himself hundreds of years of infamy. Finally, in the 26th year of Hongwu, the population of Beizhili was restored to 1.9 million.
The population of this yellow book.
This includes detailed numbers for women, children and elderly people.
The Northern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty included the East and West Hebei routes of the Song Dynasty.
In other words, two hundred and forty years later, the population of the entire area was almost the same as that of Xijin Prefecture and Pingzhou at this time.
It's so miserable.
"White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away, and people are born..."
Wang Yue, who was flew, suddenly stopped, held the gourd with an exaggerated look of shock, looking at a forest not far from him.
Countless cavalrymen are flocking to them.
He looked around with a terrifying look on his face, but found that except for the woods, there were farmland within at least two kilometers around him.
"What a bad luck!"
He looked at the cavalry with sadness.
This must be Yelu Dashi's subordinate. There was no one else in this area. His horse ran for two hundred miles and could no longer run. Now it was a narrow road for enemies. If he had known that he would not have walked the main road, but there was no other way at this time. He got off the horse helplessly, then picked up his six pure pestles, stood between the two horses, facing the surging torrent with a determined look on his face.
The torrent swept across at an extremely fast speed.
Just like during the experiment, Wang Yue pointed his muzzle at the front, and his tail disc was pressing his stomach. He took out the fire note and was like a warrior who was willing to die, waiting next to the fuse.
The torrent arrived instantly...
Then he automatically scored to both sides, and then the forwards were around him.
Wang Yue stood in the middle like a fool, looking at the soldiers in a daze. Only then did he realize that the soldiers were all frightened, and many of them even threw away their armor. They were completely defeated and fled, and they were not Yelu Dashi's subordinates.
This is not even the Liao army.
This is the Song army.
It was impossible to see clearly from a distance before, after all, the armor styles of the Song and Liao armies were similar.
Wang Yue stood in the middle in a daze, watching the torrent of cavalry, as if bypassing the reef, and no one even looked at him. Moreover, he was indeed defeated, and there were many injured, and even a few arrows on their bodies were not pulled out. They turned into the main road without looking around, and then swarmed southwards like a group of frightened rabbits.
"If you don't escape quickly, the Khitan army is coming!"
One of the officers finally yelled at him kindly.
Wang Yue was still wearing his green official uniform, which was also the reason why the soldiers did not step on him to death.
"Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Wang Yue said speechlessly.
This person has a Longxi accent and should be the elite cavalry of the Western Army.
The man was stunned for a moment, then bypassed the fool, and continued to flee south. Wang Yue was still standing there silently. At this moment, another group of cavalry appeared in the woods. These were the real Yelu Dashi's subordinates. Wang Yue saw Xiao Tabuyan's brother at a glance. It was obvious that the Song army finally crossed the river and advanced. The reason was not known yet, but as in history, he was defeated by Yelu Dashi and then staged a great defeat.
Wang Yue really wanted to curse at this moment. The glimmer of hope he finally won was ruined by these pig teammates.
Those who lose are not qualified to negotiate the conditions.
"Is it different to die in Chang'an?"
Wang Yue howled.
The officer finally stopped, and he looked back at Wang Yue with a hesitation look on his face.
At this time, the Song army defeated soldiers had already run past Wang Yue, and he was still standing there motionless, looking proudly at the Khitan cavalry who were approaching quickly.
"Look back, don't make people laugh!"
The officer yelled, gritting his teeth.
Then he turned his horse's head, and he seemed to have some prestige. Some cavalrymen behind him looked at him and almost instinctively turned around. Soon, hundreds of cavalry gathered together, followed him quickly back to Wang Yue, and then started to squint guns in a row. In fact, there were no more Khitan cavalry chasing them than them. In the end, this kind of cavalry melee usually turned into hundreds of cavalry chasing each other.
It's just that they ran and collapsed.
"Your surname?"
Wang Yue said unexpectedly.
"Li Xiaozhong, Gongzhou."
The latter said.
"Clog your horse's ears."
Wang Yue nodded and said.
Li Xiaozhong looked at him in confusion, but then issued an order. The cavalry blocked the horse's ears. At the same time, Wang Yue stepped forward. Xiao Fu on the opposite side also saw him and immediately showed a happy smile. At the same time, he raised his mace on the horse's back. The other Khitan cavalry also raised their weapons, gradually forming a forward-surround arc, with the dust trampling, fiercely colliding with Wang Yue and Li Xiaozhong and others behind him.
"Don't move!"
Wang Yue shouted.
Li Xiaozhong and others looked at him in confusion.
However, several cavalrymen could not bear it in the end and turned around and ran away in horror.
"Don't move!"
Wang Yue continued to stop Li Xiaozhong, who could no longer hold back.
But he continued to move forward with Xiao Fu. The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed. In a blink of an eye, it was less than 30 meters apart. Wang Yue lit the bottom of the fuse without hesitation, then threw away the fire slit as fast as possible, and held the six clean pestles in both hands. Xiao Fu, who was sprinting at full speed, held the mace high on the horse's back, showed an excited smile at him, and shouted the next moment...
"Bang!"
His shouts were drowned out by gunfire.
In his instantly stunned gaze, the flames in front of Wang Yue continued to spray at an extremely fast speed. With the loud thunder-like sound when the fire was opened at close range, a bullet hit his horse's chest. The horse fell down in a splatter of flesh and blood. At the same time, accompanied by the whistling of bullets, the spray of flames and smoke, and the sound of gunfire that exploded at very short intervals, the three cavalrymen on both sides fell down instantly.
The terrifying loud noise, the squirting flames, and the pungent smoke made more war horses choose to turn around instinctively.
The charge, which was originally as powerful as a rainbow, was in chaos, and even some cavalrymen who had no time to dodge bumped into their companions.
"kill!"
Wang Yue suddenly roared in the smoke of gunpowder.
Immediately afterwards, he held the six pure pestles that were still warm, and crashed into the Khitan cavalry. The six pure pestles swept across and instantly slapped a cavalry and horses. The two cavalrymen in front who were already scared turned around instinctively. Then the companions charging behind him collided. Wang Yue roared and jumped, and the six pure pestles in the air fell, and half of a cavalry's body was beaten into a splash of flesh and blood.
"kill!"
Li Xiaozhong roared excitedly behind him.
The next moment he moved forward with a cone gun, and then his companions activated the war horses, and quickly moved closer and contracted into a sharp blade, crashing into the Khitan cavalry that was disturbed by Wang Yue.
However, at this moment, Wang Yue, who was stepping on Xiao Fu, stopped fighting and raised a belt with precious energy high...
