Chapter 273: Inspiring the Morale of the Han People
At this moment, although the bannermen were shocked, they were not panicked.
Some people began to check their weapons and equipment, while others quickly passed messages to their companions to prepare for possible dangers.
"Anyway, they are not our own people. Sound the alarm and ask for help from Shengjing. Quick!!"
A bannerman who looked like a leader gave the order decisively.
Ding ding ding... The sound of ringing alarm bells echoed in the air, like an alarm for the coming danger.
The sound of the bell broke the winter tranquility and instantly made the atmosphere in the manor extremely tense.
At this time, Li Chengqian and his group had already started charging like an arrow from a bow.
They were silent, riding on their war horses at full speed with great momentum.
The horses' hooves stepped on the snow, splashing up snowflakes, as if writing a chapter of battle.
The Tang sword in his hand seemed to have its own soul, thirsting for blood.
The sharp blade flashed a deadly light in the sunlight, which made people shudder.
Seeing this, the bannermen in the manor were immediately panicked.
However, their reaction was extremely quick, worthy of being an elite force.
They immediately brought barricades and other obstacles to block the entrance of the manor, their movements skillful and decisive.
Led by some leaders, they took out bows and arrows and began to fight hard.
shhhhhh...
Arrows rained down on Li Chengqian and the others.
These bannermen archers have all been rigorously trained, and their archery skills are precise and powerful.
It’s a pity that these arrows could only leave some white spots on the Tang Dynasty’s Ming Guang Armor but were unable to break the defense at all.
The hearts of the bannermen gradually sank as they realized that the enemy before them was stronger than they had imagined.
They began to arrange their defenses more intensively, preparing for the upcoming fierce battle.
At the same time, the Han bondservants in the manor were also stunned by this sudden change.
They were oppressed and bullied by the Bannermen on a daily basis and led a miserable life.
At this moment, seeing this unfamiliar team, a glimmer of hope emerged in their hearts.
They didn't know who this team was, but they longed for change and wanted to break free from the slavery of the Bannermen.
There was a gleam of anticipation in their eyes as they closely watched every move of Li Chengqian and his group.
Some brave bondservants began to discuss quietly, speculating about the purpose of this team's visit and whether their fate would change because of it.
In this cold winter day, they seemed to see a ray of hope, and their hearts were filled with longing for the future.
The Tang Dynasty's heavily armored cavalry rushed towards the manor like a surging steel torrent with unstoppable force.
The heavy armor flashed a cold light under the sunlight, as if it was the armor of the god of war.
The war horses were galloping, the sound of their hooves was like thunder, and the earth was shaking slightly.
When they rushed to the barricades and obstacles, the leading cavalryman had a determined look in his eyes, raised his spear high, and shouted: "Charge!"
The roar was like thunder, echoing in the air.
The cavalrymen behind him responded in unison, and their momentum seemed to be able to break through the sky.
They urged their horses to speed up and charged towards the barricades with unstoppable determination.
The warhorse neighed and rushed forward with all its might.
The heavy armor collided violently with the chevaux-de-frise, making a deafening sound.
The chevaux de frise was instantly shattered into pieces by the powerful impact.
The flying wood chips seemed to announce the invincible power of the Tang Dynasty cavalry.
Under their impact, those obstacles were as fragile as paper and could withstand no blows.
Some were directly crushed by war horses, and some were picked apart by cavalrymen with spears.
The heavily armored cavalry broke through the outer defenses of the manor in one fell swoop and rushed into the manor like a whirlwind.
The bannermen in the manor were still in panic at first, but they quickly reacted.
They were indeed veterans of the battlefield. Although they were in a panic, they did not collapse immediately.
They quickly jumped onto their horses with skill and agility.
These light cavalry took advantage of their speed and began to fight in the manor.
While dodging the attacks of the Tang cavalry, they looked for opportunities to counterattack.
Some bannermen decisively sent people to inform Shengjing City, hoping that reinforcements could arrive as soon as possible.
However, these bannermen light cavalry underestimated the strength of the Tang Dynasty's heavy cavalry.
They didn't know the range of the compound bow and thought they were at a safe distance from the opponent, but...
With a whoosh, a sharp arrow flew like lightning and accurately hit the chest of a bannerman's light cavalryman.
The bannerman looked at the arrow in his chest in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.
He never expected that the opponent's shooting range would be so long, and he died before he could even see the enemy's face clearly.
Other bannermen were also shot by arrows and fell off their horses. They looked around in horror, as if they were in an inescapable nightmare.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, some bondservants actually took up arms and joined the resistance.
These were bondservants of some status, they were members of the Eight Banners of Han, and although they were Han people, they considered themselves to be bannermen.
They waved their weapons and rushed towards the Tang cavalry, shouting slogans of loyalty to the Bannermen.
Fortunately, most Han people chose to hide. They silently hoped that Li Chengqian and his group would kill all the bannermen and end their miserable lives.
They hid in the corner, watching the situation on the battlefield nervously, their hearts filled with hope and fear.
On the battlefield, Cheng Yaojin wielded an axe as ferociously as a tiger descending from the mountains.
Wherever his axe blade reached, the bannermen fell off their horses.
There was a ferocious smile on his face, as if he was a god of death on the battlefield.
Every time the axe is swung, it can bring about a bloody storm.
Yuchi Gong held a steel whip in his hand, looking majestic, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, staring closely at the enemy.
Every whip he strikes can scare the enemy into submission.
Those bannermen were unable to fight back under their attack.
Li Chengqian, Li Shimin and Li Jing sat in the rear, looking at the battlefield coldly.
Their eyes revealed determination and majesty, as if everything was under their control.
Li Shimin nodded slightly, satisfied with the performance of the Tang cavalry.
Li Jing issued some instructions from time to time, directing the battle.
Li Chengqian just looked on coldly, gazing into the distance, waiting for the reinforcements from Shengjing City to appear...
After a fierce battle, the Tang Dynasty's heavy cavalry finally took over the manor.
They gathered Han bondservants, and those bondservants reported on the Han Eight Banners people.
Soon, the people of the Eight Banners of Han were picked out and beheaded one by one.
Their bodies were thrown aside, as if announcing their sins to the world.
After taking control of the manor, Li Chengqian and his men collected the weapons of the bannermen and prepared to arm the young and strong Han people to become the backbone of their subsequent expansion of the results of the war...
