Chapter 656

"Why have you never seen this weapon used by the Song people before? For several years, I, Daxia, have been fighting with the Song people. I, the last general, had never seen it when he attacked the Song people Huanzhou with the rebel Liang family." One of the generals stood up and said with great emotion.

His surname is Ye Ci and his name is Mukun. He was the Ye Ci family among the eight Dangxiang clans. He had previously attacked Suide City with Liang Yibu, and then he followed the army to attack Huanzhou.

However, after the Battle of Hongdezhai, he retreated to Hongzhou with Liang Yipeng. However, on that day when Liang Yipeng wanted to kill the general and seize power, this guy happened to have no entry into the city due to illness.

When Liang Yibi sent troops to attack the camp outside the city, his troops around him saw the opportunity early and helped him escape from the military camp and headed towards Yanzhou.

Finally, he met the army led by Sa Chen halfway, and was finally defeated by Sa Chen's commander in order to control the conquered soldiers, hoping that he could lose his merits.

But now it seems that there is no great hope for this kind of merit and punishment.

"Oh? General Ye Ci, you have always been on the front line of the battlefield, but if you have any news, you can tell me and have a clear idea in your heart." Although Fei Tingdarong looked down on this guy a little.

But at this time, a person who could provide first-hand information was needed. He was at least a person who participated in the previous battle of Liang Yibu attacking the Song State, so he should know more.

After hearing Fei Ting Darong's words, this guy suddenly felt energetic. "Sir, I wonder if you have noticed the metal crossbow arms that the Song army holds in the hands of the current Song army?"

"That kind of crossbow tool has never been seen before, whether it was Suide Army or previous operations. It only appeared after Su Dongpo led the imperial guards of Song State to aid."

"The range of that kind of crossbow tool is no less than that of the most proud divine arm crossbow of the Song people. In addition, there is also a large piece of armor that makes the Song army's iron armor that is difficult to damage by swords and arrows. It was also found after the emergence of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards."

"And the Song people seemed to have mastered a new building material. If our army destroyed the Song people's city walls, after only one night, the Song people could use that kind of building material to repair it as before. Their solidity can definitely be described as solid as a rock..."

With the words of General Ye Ci, not only did the big guy not have a sudden realization or felt like he had gained something, but the mood of one and two became more and more heavy.

In the end, Fei Ting Darong couldn't listen anymore and quickly interrupted Ye Ci Mukun's speech. "Okay, I have already understood it almost now. It seems that the Song people have been on the defensive for the past few years. In fact, they are not afraid of the power of our Xixia soldiers, but are just raising their strength."

"These new weapons and armor have now become my Xixia Erlang's death talisman..."

"No wonder I said, why can't the 60,000 elite troops under the command of the Empress break through a mere defense line built up? It turns out that the root is here."

"Maybe the stone throwing machine that just now is also a new stone throwing machine developed by the Song people over the years. Because the Song people's stone throwing machine in the past could not have thrown such a huge stone for such a long distance."

The generals were discussing heatedly, but the more they discussed, the more they felt the more painful it was. No matter how they looked at the past, they felt that the battle to defend the city was barely acceptable. The field battle was definitely the Song army, which was taken down by the Western Xia Iron Cavalry in minutes, suddenly became stronger and even stronger.

Previously, the air strikes carried out when they were harassed by the Song army's firearms, the combat effectiveness of the Song army cavalry wearing new iron armor seemed to be no less than that of the Western Xia cavalry.

After being obtained by the Song army, the Iron Harrier, which became the equipment of the Song army, also caused heavy casualties to the Western Xia Iron Cavalry who participated in the raid.

It seemed that until then, the people of Xixia realized that if the advantages of equipment and mounts were abandoned, it seemed that there was not much difference between Daxia Erlang and Song people.

When the military equipment of the Song people began to surpass the Great Xia, for example, now, whether it was Fei Tingdarong or the twenty generals, they all realized it deeply.

Facing the Song army who had ultra-long range weapons, they either rushed forward and fought to the front, or they simply could go as far as the damn Song people could.

Especially the stones thrown by heavy stone throwers, or the deafening things thrown by the crossbow, make the Western Xia warriors who have always been self-reliant in the past unable to rise to a slightest resistance, because that is definitely not a terrible weapon that can be solved and faced by personal force.

It was almost noon, so everyone just put aside the meeting and started eating and drinking, but they didn't wait for them to have a peaceful dinner.

A messenger came to report in panic. Four wooden spires were erected outside the south gate. It seemed that the Song people transported the stone thrower that had destroyed the west gate before to the south gate for assembly.

A general couldn't help but stand up in a hurry and asked Fei Tingdarong for his order. "Do they want to trap us here? The lord can't continue like this. The general is willing to lead the men out and destroy their thing."

"Do you think the brothers still have the strength now? Song Gou's harassment day and night has made the soldiers so tired that they are already out of shape. Do you still ask them to fight against the Song army?!" Another general raised objections.

Soon, the main battle and the main guards suddenly had a quarrel, while Fei Tingdarong's face became darker and darker.

"Everyone, everyone!" In the end, Fei Ting Darong stopped the noise of these people and cleared his throat. "Now is not the time to discuss these things, but the time to speed up the construction of rafts and speed up the crossing of Wuding River. Whether it is day or night, crossing the river cannot stop."

"Sir, crossing the river at night, the ice in the river is unknown. This will be very dangerous and difficult." The general who was in charge of crossing the river said in embarrassment.

"It's very dangerous. I don't know, but if it doesn't happen, how can I speed up the crossing of the river? Do you really think that the Song people are really just using their weapons to destroy a city gate?" Fei Tingdarong sighed and said.

"Don't forget, now we are harassed by the explosion caused by the Song army. The soldiers are exhausted. Now that the city gate is destroyed, the cavalry that our Daxia relies on can't attack out of the city at all."
