Chapter 820 The danger is like tired eggs, the military town is in an emergency
(Thanks to Meng Bobo for the tip last week...)
The general of the Xia Kingdom who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain to the west of Linxia City was called Renduo Yili. He was a descendant of the general Ren Duohan, a famous general during the Xia Dynasty's National Day. In the forest behind Renduo Yili, people gradually There were countless Xia Guojun showing their bodies. Renduo Yili turned around and looked around at the respectful party members in front of him with his sharp eyes. Then he pointed in the direction of Linxia City and proudly pointed to the leaders of Hengshan and Xia Jun. The soldiers shouted loudly in Xixia dialect: "We have been traversing the mountains and languishing in the mountains for nearly a month, and we are already exhausted. Why do we do this?
Because the food and supplies of the Song Army on the eastern front are in this city, which is not very well-defended. According to the secret report of the spies, important officials of the Song Dynasty court are also here. Wait until we break through Linxia City, kill all the Song servants in the city, and burn it If the Song army's food, grass and baggage are enough to capture and capture the high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty again, just like the previous great victories at Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, and Yongle City, it will definitely completely disrupt the Song army's deployment! Our troops behind Hengshan Our people, our wives, children, and children, our country all rely on us to protect it! The Great God Baishi protects the warriors who are not afraid of death, conquers the city, and protects our country!!!"
Under the roar of Renduo Yili, the bloody and murderous intentions in the hearts of countless Xiang Erlang who were exhausted physically and mentally from trekking through mountains and rivers were immediately aroused, and roars like the howling of wolves immediately sounded inside and outside Hengshan!
Renduo Yili stared at the murderous warriors in front of him and nodded slightly. Suddenly, a leader of the Hengshan Qiang tribe immediately stepped forward to ask for his order: "General Renduo, let me lead my people to attack the city first. I will definitely It will take the lead!"
"No need, sister Laitou, don't rush to ask for orders. Before sending troops to Suidezhou, Cha Ge Ningling had his own thoughts on how to conquer this place..."
Renduoyili shook his head, and after speaking slowly to the Hengshan Qiangtou man, he looked towards Linxia City, which was surrounded by noisy sounds.

"Kill!" Even though the momentum was slightly slowed by the firing of the Song Army's Divine Arm Bow, there were still a large number of Xia warriors holding their shields high and rushing towards the west gate of Linxia City. The Song Army's crossbowmen borrowed Taking advantage of the high point, they used the divine arm bow to suppress and fire at the city head. However, within a moment, several groups of crossbowmen from the Xia army rushed out and shot at the short arrows holding powerful crossbow strings on the Linxia city wall. The platoon pours over!
The long-range weapons such as the Divine Arm Bow of the Song Dynasty were also created by Dangxiang people from the Song Dynasty. However, Xixia also had skilled craftsmen who were good at making cold-forged armor, first-grade crossbows and other powerful armored weapons. Therefore, in Xixia Shooting at each other from a distance, the Song army, who was at a numerical disadvantage on the wall, was suppressed for a moment and could not raise its head!
In addition to the rolling logs and stones arranged on the city wall, it is difficult for ordinary Song Army crossbowmen to suppress the city. Instead, a large number of Xia soldiers have no scruples. They wantonly rain rain of arrows like locusts on the top of the Linxia city wall. .
The Song army on the city did not dare to stand up and fire crossbows at will, and the scattered arrows were very limited to the Xia soldiers gathered under the city. At this time, they saw many more ladders being slowly lifted from the Xia army's formation. Pushed out, under the cover of the crossbowmen, they stepped on the built pontoon bridges across the ditch outside the city, and they were about to hang on the city wall!
Although the Xia army launched a general attack on Linxia City, even though they had the numerical advantage, due to the crude siege equipment, even if they could carry the ladder across the moat, when the ladder was just put up on the city wall, the Song soldiers on the wall immediately
He stretched out a wooden pole or pushed it with his bare hands, pushing the unstable ladder to the ground, and many Xia soldiers who had just climbed the ladder crashed to the ground!
The Song army in charge, facing the rain of sharp arrows fired from the city, hid under the female wall and waited for an opportunity to fight back, while launching four fire oil tanks. The chief officials of other tribes ordered their soldiers to press down.
Behind the wall, there are wooden blocks loaded with stones, logs, and other machinery. Next to it, there is a pot and stove with hot oil and golden juice that is gradually boiling. If the enemy is really fast to climb up the wall,
These mechanisms and equipment used to defend the city will also be activated immediately!
The powerful crossbows of the Xia soldiers under the city were flying like locusts, and they were responsible for shooting the Song soldiers who leaned out of the city or controlled the city defense organs.
When the officers were commanding them to run hurriedly, Xiao Tang, Hua Rong and Yan Yun were riding horses and had just rushed into the city. However, Xiao Tang was not allowed to take a moment to catch his breath, so he got off his horse and rushed to the top of the city.
above.
Xiao Tang had just climbed up the west wall of Linxia City. He stretched out his body slightly and looked around, and saw a tragic scene like blood and fire. The Xia soldiers were hysterical and madly charging. From time to time, arrows fell and fell into a pool of blood.
Among them, the Song Army soldiers who stepped out around him were also hit by arrows fired from the city, and fell straight beside him.
The flurry of crossbow arrows below the city were pouring down on the Linxia city as if they were free of charge. After Xiao Tang climbed up to the city, Pei Zhong had no choice but to bend his body and immediately ran in front of him.
Although it was just a matter of speculation before, now Pei Zhong is really impressed by Xiao Tang's feat of riding out of the city to pick up the Song soldiers outside the city. But now the battle situation is urgent, and Pei Zhong is too late.
To be polite, he immediately said to Xiao Tang: "Xiao Jieshuai, the summer dogs are coming with ferocity! The prisoners saw ten or twenty thousand men and horses!"
"What about the Xia army's attack on the west gate, east, north, and south cities!?"
Xiao Tang, who had just climbed to the top of the city, asked hurriedly, but before Pei Zhong could reply, Xiao Tang suddenly heard a loud "Bang!!!", immediately due to a powerful impact.
And he was immediately knocked to the ground!
Even though he had long been trained to be unstoppable and invincible, Xiao Tang, who was born with a mortal body after all, was still dizzy from the sudden and violent impact. Not only was his head buzzing, but everything in front of him was also
The scene was all blurry! Xiao Tang felt a fishy liquid slipping from his forehead, which seemed to be his own blood.
Xiao Tang was swaying, and he subconsciously wanted to stand up, but even though he was in a dizzy state, Xiao Tang could still realize that he was hit hard by the artillery fire below the city and was temporarily unconscious.
, so he still trembled on the ground to avoid suffering another violent blow from the enemy.
The violently reverberating tinnitus made Xiao Tang's head hurt, and his vision was vaguely blurry. Xiao Tang opened his eyes as wide as possible, and found that through the shattered exterior of the city wall, in the hazy scene in front of him, he seemed to
I could vaguely see the Xia Kingdom's military formation gathering like a swarm of ants below the city wall. It seemed that someone had pulled out more than a dozen mules and horses with some kind of mechanism on their backs.
Before Xiao Tang could recover, he heard someone scolding and shouting: "Damn it! It's Xia Thief Po Xi's whirlwind cannon!"
