Poor Family

  Chapter 608 Song Jin Zhengyan (4)

  The sound of horns resounded across the field, and the boundless army of the Kingdom of Jin rushed towards the east city like black waves. The spears were dense like a forest, full of murderous aura, and the sound of huge footsteps was orderly and powerful.

The 20,000 troops were arranged in four square formations, and each square formation was separated by hundreds of steps, just like four huge black carpets. It is like thunder, the horns are soaring to the sky, the flags cover the sky and the sun, the spears are like forests, and the shields are like mountains. Under the sunlight, they are black with death.

  Wan Yan Zongwang, the general who directly commanded the siege, rode on his horse, pointed at the city with his saber, and said, "Forward!"

   "Woo~~"

The sound of the low-pitched horn resounded through the heavens and the earth, and more than a dozen wooden buckets were erected in the middle of each team, which were used to resist flying stones on the city, accompanied by the sound of huge wheels under the wooden buckets, and nearly a hundred Nest carts and ladders, the 20,000-strong army marched towards Yanjing City three miles away with an unstoppable momentum.

At the same time, the forty large-scale trebuchets on Dongcheng creaked and opened. They were two feet high and three feet long. Ten trebuchets stand on the top of the city, just like forty giant beasts.

  The Song army did not use trebuchets and artillery immediately. They needed as many enemy troops as possible to enter the killing range as soon as possible, and then massacred the enemy.

  At this time, the 40-jin Zhentianlei had been put into the bomb pocket, and thirty people were pulling ten arm-thick belts, waiting patiently for the order to launch.

In the middle of the battlements, 5,000 soldiers held long bows and arrows. Thick arrows one foot and five inches long had already been put on the bowstring. The bows and arrows used for defense are different from those used for fighting on the ground. They don’t need arrows to shoot far. , but it must be heavy so that the arrow can pierce the enemy's armor by its own gravity. Therefore, large arrows are generally used, with thick finger shafts, sharp arrow tips in a streamlined shape, and bloodletting grooves on all sides.

  Of course it is also possible to use the divine arm crossbow, but the divine arm crossbow consumes a lot of physical strength, and the winding speed is slow, and the same killing effect can be achieved with soldier arrows, so there is no need to use the divine arm crossbow.

   But it was the bed crossbow that shot first. Li Yanqing deployed a thousand bed crossbows on the city wall, operated by 2,000 soldiers, to deal with the enemy's nest carts and trebuchets.

As Jin Bing's giant trebuchet approached 500 steps, the Song Army's bed crossbow suddenly fired. The bed crossbow uses a four-foot arrow. When the walls and stones crack and the towers collapse, the range can reach a thousand steps, the killing range is 700 steps, and the damage range is 500 steps.

  As a thousand bed crossbows were fired at the same time, a thousand big arrows shot towards Jin Bing's trebuchet swiftly, the force was extremely powerful, and only a 'click! ’ sound and the screams of the soldiers, nearly eight trebuchets were hit by big arrows, the wooden frame cracked, and they lost their combat power immediately, but the rest of the trebuchets continued to move forward.

Three hundred steps away from the city, the flames suddenly appeared, and the first few Jin Guo trebuchets were launched suddenly, and six huge fireballs rolled in the sky, roaring towards the top of the city, and all six fireballs passed The head of the city directly smashed into the city.

   There was a loud bang, several houses were hit by fireballs, tiled roofs collapsed, fireballs rolled over, and a raging fire quickly ignited in the room. The fire took advantage of the wind, and flames and thick smoke rushed out of the roofs.

   "Quickly put out the fire!" A general stamped his feet anxiously and shouted.

These private houses close to the city are temporarily requisitioned for military use, and a lot of military supplies are stored inside. There are even dozens of thunderbolts stored in one room. If they are ignited, everyone will be finished, and the soldiers are also anxious. They rushed into the house with buckets in hand.

  At this time, Song Jun’s second gurney crossbow was fired, and another thousand arrows shot out, ‘Boom! Boom! There was a loud noise, this time ten catapults were hit and fell apart. At this time, only five catapults were left in the first launch of the Jin Army, and five huge fireballs whizzed across the city again. Rolling and smashing into the city of Yanjing, this time a fireball hit the big tent for storing food, the big tent was ignited, and the flames soaring into the sky became one piece.

Nearly a thousand soldiers of the Song Dynasty were fighting the fire desperately. The fire ignited by the first batch of fireballs had been extinguished by the Song army. But this time they used soil instead. Hundreds of people threw baskets of soil into the big tent, and soon formed a large tent. A layer of soil buried the grain under the soil, and the rest of the Song army had already removed all the tents around the fire to curb the spread of the fire.

  At this moment, Li Yanqing yelled, "Shoot again!"

  Li Yanqing knew very well that if he was shot at the top of the city by the enemy's fireball, it might cause a thunderous explosion. He had to get rid of this hidden danger first.

   Another thousand big arrows shot at the last five trebuchets densely, only to hear a rumble of collapse and the screams of Jin Guo soldiers when they were hit, and the last five trebuchets were all destroyed.

  At this moment, Wanyan Zongbi came galloping on a galloping horse, and said to his elder brother Zongwang, "It's a bit strange!"

  Wanyan Zongwang watched twenty catapults and five nest vehicles all being destroyed by the enemy's big arrows. His eyes were red with anxiety, and he turned around and shouted: "What are you talking about?"

  After Yan Zongbi was stunned for a moment, he said anxiously, "Second brother, calm down."

   Wanyan Zongwang restrained his anger, nodded and said, "Tell me! What's so strange?"

   "Don't you think it's strange? We've almost reached the bottom of the city, why the catapult on the top of the city still hasn't fired?"

  Wan Yan Zongwang also had a trace of doubt in his eyes, but this doubt could not suppress the anger in his heart, he said coldly: "Wouldn't you go to the city to know what the **** they are doing?"

  Wanyan Zongwang waved his saber and shouted, "Siege the city!"

Although the bed crossbow of the Song army temporarily eliminated the offensive of the trebuchets, it could not stop the attack of more than 30,000 troops. As the drums in the camp of the Jin army accelerated, the soldiers of the four phalanxes ran up and covered the sky. The city rushed away.

The moat was covered with wooden planks, which had long lost their function of obstruction. A ladder and a nest cart crossed the moat and slammed on the city wall. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Golden Army climbed up the ladder like a colony of ants. Climbing a ladder, holding a shield in one hand, holding a sword in his mouth, struggling to climb upwards, arrows rained down on the top of the city, stones and rolling logs fell like hailstones, soldiers were shot one by one, and fell down the city screaming ． ． ． ． ． ．

  Li Yanqing squinted his eyes and looked at the enemy army below the city. In addition to the 5,000 reinforcements of the 20,000 troops, the 15,000 troops have all entered within 300 steps, and the time is ripe.

  Li Yanqing turned around and ordered: "The trebuchet is launched!"

  Cao Xing was so suffocated that he was about to explode like a thunderbolt. Li Yanqing's order was like igniting his fire letter. He immediately roared hoarsely, ignited and launched! "

The Song army's long-prepared counterattack suddenly broke out. Forty black spheres soared into the air, with blue smoke rising from the spheres, and flew straight over the heads of more than 15,000 people in the city. Looking up at these **** strangely, they are obviously not stones, what could they be?

But Jin Bing never thought about what kind of demon they were facing. Since this demon appeared on the battlefield more than a hundred years ago, it has been acting indifferently. It was not until Li Yanqing arrived that they finally revealed themselves The hideous nature.

When forty smoky **** fell into the densely packed Golden Soldier team, in the blink of an eye, dozens of fiery lights burst out from the Golden Soldier team, a series of earth-shattering explosions sounded, and large areas of The soldiers were blown away, their bodies were smashed to pieces, their flesh and limbs were scattered, a large puff of black smoke rose into the air, the originally dense soldiers disappeared in the air, their bones and flesh covered the ground, and a large number of soldiers were shaken to death. The mixture of gunpowder smoke and blood on the entire battlefield is disgusting.

The explosion spread for miles, causing thousands of deaths and injuries. The entire battlefield was stunned, only the horses neighed in shock, dragging the ghosts of the dead cavalry to run, and their long manes fluttered in the smoke, as if they were from hell. Ghost horse.

Even though Wanyan Zongwang was 500 paces away, he was still overturned by the strong air wave and fell off his horse. His ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear anything. After a while, he knelt on the ground and couldn't help covering it with his hands. The head shouted loudly: "Longevity God!"

  Forty Zhentian bombs killed more than 2,000 people on the spot, and many more were injured, lying on the ground moaning in pain.

But Li Yanqing waited until now to give the order. It was not just a charge. He wanted those strong Jin soldiers to always remember that although the Song people did not have their beast-like murderous aura, they had wisdom that they did not have. A knife can succeed with the mind.

   "Launch again!" Li Yanqing gave the second order firmly.

  Another forty thunderbolts soared into the sky and flew towards Jin Bing, who hadn't reacted yet. Forty thunderbolts exploded again.

  The earth-shattering explosion shook the earth, and the death demon was roaring. It sprayed flames, mixed with poisoned iron sand and iron flakes, and devoured everything around it wantonly.

On the battlefield, whether it was on the top of the city or watching the battle from a distance, the golden soldiers stumbled and stood still, or covered their ears and screamed and knelt down on the ground. When the second huge black mushroom cloud rolled into the sky, the two golden soldiers The phalanx has disappeared, and the continuous concentrated explosion of the black powder in the eighty thunderbolts is the first time in history. Five thousand Bohai soldiers on the battlefield became the sacrifices of this war demon.

The uninjured soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin finally came to their senses. They yelled, turned around and fled desperately, scrambling to escape to the camp. The 20,000 army was defeated like a mountain, but it was a pity that the Song army could not attack the city, but that was it. , Song Jun still felt greatly encouraged, and there was joy in the city.

However, Li Yanqing did not expect the joint effects brought about by the explosion of the eighty thunderbolts. Wanyan Aguda, who was standing several miles away watching the battle, also had an accident. Neighing and running eastward recklessly, the eighty draft horses pulling the large platform were also disturbed by the strong explosion. Unlike their usual meekness, they were so startled that they howled wildly and turned around and ran wildly.

The wooden platform was pulled by the group of horses and shook violently, the wooden wheel on the right left the ground and tilted up, and Wanyan Aguda, who happened to be standing on the edge of the wooden platform watching the battle, was caught off guard and fell off the wooden platform. A U-turned war horse stepped directly over him.

  The ministers behind suddenly panicked, rushed up and shouted: "Master Wolf! Your Majesty!"
