Chapter 521
This Yuanyou Cement really lives up to its reputation. Although Huanzhou City is strong, the more than 100,000 Xixia people under the city are not vegetarians. Even if they are not good at siegeing the city, it does not mean that they cannot siege the city.
Under the crazy attacks over the past few days, damage and cracks appeared in many places in the city walls of Huanzhou. Thanks to the Yuanyou Cement, it took only one night. On the second day, the Xixia barbarians who were very happy and wanted to continue to expand their results the next day were stunned in an instant.
Then after the strong attack, I found that the previous results were completely in vain under the repair of the Song army. Now, many of the heavy weapons of siege brought by the Xixia people have begun to strike.
There were not many craftsmen from Xixia people, so as long as Huanzhou City could continue to hold on, it would not take long for the Xixia people to be disappointed and returned home in disappointment due to the lack of heavy siege weapons.
What's more, Su Xueshu's 60,000 troops were in Qingzhou. As long as Su Xueshu soldiers entered Huanzhou, no matter how brave the people of Xixia were, they would never dare to attack and attack as hard as they are now.
Zhang Feng stroked his long beard and said deeply. "Yes, this time, we have to protect the Huanzhou this time. In addition to the elite reinforcements, there is also the Yuanyou Cement brought by the Wang Jianjun, which has made great contributions. Of course, there is also the Yuanyou Crossbow..."
Compared to the divine arm crossbow that was prone to aging with high strength in the past, the steel arm crossbow developed by Wang Yang, the young military supervisor, did make Zhang Yue love it.
The Xixia people attacked fiercely for several days, while the Song army used powerful crossbows to deal with those siege enemies. Now, more than a thousand divine arms crossbows have been damaged.
However, the steel crossbows still seemed to be untiring. Fortunately, Wang Jianjun brought a large number of crossbow arms and craftsmen.
After the craftsmen timely replaced the divine arm crossbow arms with the damaged crossbow arms, they could shoot at the Xixia army again with powerful shots.
After this battle is over, I will definitely report to the court that the Yuanyou crossbow is durable and sharp, as well as the Yuanyou cement. If it is used to build a city, my Song Dynasty can advance step by step towards the hinterland of Xixia...
Maybe the unfulfilled wishes in the past finally saw some hope. Touching the long beard, Zhang Qi sighed with emotion.
When Master Zhong saw that one of the city walls seemed to be critical, he personally drew his sword and led his personal guards to rush over, covering up the Xixia barbarians who had climbed up the city walls, and finally chopped all the Xixia barbarians who rushed up the city walls, and then threw the dead bodies down the city.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Feng, who had been trained as hard as iron by the bloody training on the battlefield, couldn't help but frown slightly. Today, it seems that the offensive of the Western Xia army seemed to have become more fierce again. Could it be that Su Xueshu and the others have already rushed to the north?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qi subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the distant south. He could only have his distant eyes blocked by the mountains.
At this moment, the main front army of the Song army led by Zhong Shidao had already arrived ten miles south of Namaling Town. The army was resting on the spot, while Zhong Shidao stood on a ridge in front of the army, looking towards the north with a thousand-mile mirror.
Soon, a faint ray of smoke and dust was seen, and the camera slowly moved downward, and finally saw the familiar bright red military uniform of the Song Dynasty border army. Zhong Shidao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and moved away from the camera. He had not seen traces of Western Xia soldiers behind the scout cavalry sent out for a long time.
It seems that these scouts were not discovered by the Xixia barbarians, but I don’t know if they have brought gratifying good news.
Two quarters of an hour later, the reconnaissance cavalry who finally arrived at the ridge reported in detail to Master Zhong in detail the enemy situation he had detected, which made Master Zhong frown. "......How many people do they have in the banner of the Yeli family?"
"About five thousand cavalry, seven or eight thousand infantry."
"It seems that the people of Xixia already know that we are here." The generals around Zhong Shidao couldn't help but frown. "What we need to face will definitely be a fierce battle."
"Yeli family, Yeliaro..." Mr. Zhong stroked his long beard and pondered for a while, then he slapped the Yuanyou armor on his body leisurely, making a sound. "Since the Yeli family wants a mantis arm-mounted car, let him know the power of my Song Dynasty Tiger Ben, and sent the entire army to set off immediately and rushed to the Maling Village to fight against the Xixia Army."
"In addition, go and report the movements of Suxiangmaling Town immediately."
"Let's discuss and discuss before Mr. Su arrives?" The general beside him was stunned and asked Master Zhong.
"Without the Liang family's supervision, do you think Yeliaro dares to use their Yeli family's old capital to fight with me Dasong here?"
"Don't forget, Mr. Su handed over the biggest ace in his hand to our hands. If he didn't even have the courage to fight with the gangsters of the Yeli family, Zhong might as well go home and play with his grandchildren..."
Master Zhong laughed and turned over and jumped onto the horse's back. He pointed his hand forward, and thousands of troops, like mercury, began to surge along the valley towards the front.
In the army, a thousand of them were tightly wrapped in the silver-shining iron armor, and the cavalrymen around them were looking at them with envious eyes, and were silently galloping forward with the army.
This team is the trump card assigned by the court to Su Xueshi, the most powerful and fearless imperial cavalry. When they all changed into Yuanyou armor and met their enemies, besides he, he might be able to run with his tails together, perhaps it would be a good choice.

Yeliaro's eyes stared at the ten thousand elite Songs in the distance. At this moment, the elite elites of the Songs who appeared in sight were already arranged into battle formations. With the shocking noise and drum beats, he was heading towards Maling Town, which was surrounded by the Xixia army, with heavy and firm steps.
The Maling Town, which had only 2,500 troops, saw the Song Hu Ben with iron armor and a huge fighting spirit. When he saw the banner of Zhong Shidao flying in the formation, he burst into deafening shouts and cheers.
The weapons in his hand were raised high and pierced the sky. Listening to the cheers coming from Maling Town and the Song Hu Ben who was rushing slowly and resolutely like mudslides in the distance, Yeliaro's eyes twitched.
"General, what should we do? This is clearly the elite army of the Song Dynasty. It is impossible for a strong local brave man." Ye Lidang beside him asked Noliaro with an anxious expression.
