The whole shelf of the trebuchet was shaken. The trebuchet at close range was not big and was placed directly on the wall of the village. Then it was dragged by manpower. Multiple strands of hemp ropes were dropped directly to the ground inside the wall of the village. According to the
Wall orders come to work.
Medium- and long-distance trebuchets are counterweight-type, which is actually more efficient than manpower, and the upper limit of adding counterweight is much higher than increasing the number of people.
Bang!
The stone bullets flitted across the battlefield, and there was nothing wrong with them. The Song Army's feint attack must choose an open area. The setting of the trebuchet was naturally based on the width of the battlefield. In addition, each horse
The guardrail was removed inwards, revealing an equally large crossbow machine.
Many of these crossbows are modified from whale harpoons, which can adjust the elevation and depression angle more flexibly, are more powerful, and can be equipped with two to three more bowstrings.
Between the horse faces adjacent to each other at thirty paces, most of the archers used whalebone bows; at fifty paces, strong men with better physical strength, arm strength, and waist strength used a hard crossbow with an additional machine frame.
These new weapons and equipment are not unfamiliar to the crocodile people, but the candidate hero has never used them before. The first time he used them was on the battlefield.
Di——
With a whistle, a rapid bone whistle sounded on the wall of the stronghold, and with a "bang" sound, arrows shot through the air. The incoming Song Army infantrymen were shot through the armor as soon as they met each other. Many experienced soldiers were shot through the armor.
The junior officers led their teams to hide behind the giant shield. However, the skinned wooden shield could not withstand the huge crossbow machine on the horse.
Bang!
With the violent shaking of the huge crossbow, the entire horse's face trembled slightly, and then the huge arrow like a spear directly pierced the giant shield.
The astonishing power frightened a large number of soldiers of the Song Army. The experienced junior officers did not know how to deal with it at this time. This kind of power beyond imagination was obviously not something that flesh and blood could contend with.
"Broken city——"
However, if you don't rush, you still have to rush. If you retreat, you will die more miserably!
As long as those stone pellets hit the ground, they will either die or be injured, and the first time the stone pellets hit the ground is not scary, the scary thing is that it bounces up or breaks into pieces on the spot.
When it bounced up, it was spinning, and even the armor leaves on the body of the armored man were rolled into pieces on the spot, and then blood and flesh flew everywhere. Unlucky, the head was taken away directly, leaving a neck lying with blood spurting.
Twitching and convulsing on the ground.
"No retreat! Anyone who retreats will be killed——"
The former military general is not stupid. Retreating at this time will only bring greater casualties. Therefore, the most cruel problem can be solved only by rushing forward with all his strength.
"preparation!"
"put!"
Bang——
The bowstrings sounded again, and the waiting warriors on the wall did not panic. This was not a close encounter, they were just shooting arrows on the wall, and they did not need to have good accuracy.
Tsk tsk tsk...
The scattered Song troops in formation would be hit by arrows if they were slightly out of cover. The veteran soldiers of the Song army swore that they had never seen such arrow shooting in their lives.
The arrows are pouring down like money, like rain of locusts!
"Siege the city——"
The rush car is well protected, but the ordinary rush car has no effect at all against the village wall.
On the contrary, the carts and ladders could still get close to the village wall, and the entire battlefield was quickly spread out and stretched along the village wall, making it unprecedentedly wide.
There are only so many siege tools. If you withdraw from the control range of the siege tools, it will be meaningless no matter how wide the battlefield is. Relying on the soldiers themselves, even if they climb the wall, they will still have to face an enemy force several times their size.
"This is a feint attack, why is it like this——"
Zi Li Fei's face changed dramatically at this moment. Although he knew that Dai Ju's approach was right, the person participating in the feint attack mission this time was the "Hu Ben" of the city that the king of Song State could directly command. This was equivalent to the Gusu King Division of Wu State.
, is the lifeblood of the king.
It's extremely distressing to see one person die, let alone hundreds or even thousands of enemy soldiers who died without even touching their hair?
And I don’t know how many hundreds or even thousands!
Most of these "Tiger Ben" are from the public clan, and they are the biggest trump card of the Song Dynasty monarch. This is the reason why the big and small nobles in the Song Dynasty, whether they are ministers or officials, obey him!
Even if Zi Fei does something stupid, the officials in the country will have no choice but to admit it and obey orders, because he has "Tiger Ben" at his disposal.
But now, we can only watch as Shangqiu's "Tiger Ben" continue to die on the battlefield, with the number visibly reduced.
"Your Majesty, please order the front troops to withdraw..."
"shut up--"
Zi Lu Fei, who lost his temper and roared, slapped the armrest of the chariot violently, "If you retreat now, all the troops in front of you will be lost -"
At this moment, Zilu Fei could only admit that he was unlucky, thinking that he had misjudged Biyang's accumulation. He originally thought that the enemy's arrows were ineffective, but now it seems that the enemy's arrows are so numerous that they are being poured out as if they don't need money.
At the same time, Zilu Fei also thought that he was careless. He did not expect that the Biyang Kingdom actually had a magical weapon that could shoot stone pellets. Those stone pellets could not be thrown with bare hands.
With such great force, Song's soldiers would be crippled if touched and killed if hit!
"Order Dai Guo to attack the city immediately——"
Zi Lu was so angry that he could no longer care about his manners. Someone had to share the pressure. He didn't believe that Biyang State was really that powerful and could arrange everything properly.
The horn sounded and the signal was received in Dai Guo's camp. Sergeant Sha Fei of Dai Guo Brigade was stunned: "How could it be so fast?"
He had heard the noise before, and the shouts of killing were loud. It was conceivable that the Song Army's "feint attack" had already launched. And as expected, the enemy troops inside the wall were really attracted. At this moment, they were in Dai Guo's camp.
On the front, there seemed to be only two or three alert kittens.
"The great emperor issued an order—"
"Siege the city——"
Dai Guolu Ben did not rush to the front line, but a large number of civilians carried tools and, under the cover of a giant shield, moved toward the village wall at a speed that could vary from fast to slow.
On the top of the wall, the crocodile man immediately noticed the movement here. Sha Dong, who was responsible for the defense, took out his telescope and took a look, and immediately said: "Send the order Sha Heng, prepare to fight!"
"yes!"
Inside the wall, dozens of streamlined chariots have been prepared, and Shaheng is giving the horses the final comfort. The ground outside the wall is very bumpy, but Shaheng, who is familiar with the terrain, knows that his side has been flattened in some places, which is very suitable.
The chariot passed quickly.
But it only passed quickly.
"ha!"
There is an "urn city" on the inside of the wall. Although it is a simple construction, it is enough for the chariots to prepare for departure.
The simple city gate designed as a "dragon-breaking stone" is pulled up by winches on both sides. Once it falls, a counterweight can be added to the top of the door, making it almost impossible to lift it up by manpower.
"Ren Fu actually left the city——"
Shafei was horrified. The costumes of the Dai soldiers were similar to those of the Song army. Most people could not tell the difference. In this way, the Dai soldiers could be emboldened and the defenders of Biyang could be confused.
.
After all, the Song army was not confident in a field battle, but the Dai army absolutely did not dare to fight in the field.
"What to do!"
The lieutenants were also panicked. They originally thought it was misleading, but now it seems that this is simply a trap.
It's just that Sha Fei's idea at the beginning was to let the civilians use up the strength of the Yang Kingdom defenders. It would be best if the troops and horses of the headquarters can rush to the top of the wall. After all, they are not the main force. Once the gap is opened, it will ultimately depend on Song Guobu.
The strength of the pawn.
At this moment, behind Dai Guo's army, there were Dai Jizi, who was supervising the battle, and Song troops.
Dai Guo's camp didn't know that the feint attack by the friendly forces had turned into a strong attack. He thought that facing most of the enemy's troops directly would be a disaster, but he never thought that there were only tanks on the opposite side, and they didn't seem to be many in number.
"Why is this?"
Shafei, who was stunned, suddenly felt a lot calmer. The opponent's number was not large, so he still had to fight.
At the same time, Shafei also secretly felt that he was a bit of a villain. The Song army really wanted to win the battle, otherwise the feint attack would not have been so effective. The front of the Dai army was obviously lacking in strength.
Sha Fei immediately ordered his personal guards to pacify the front army. The enemy army only dispatched dozens of tanks, and these tanks were not followed by infantry. If Dai Guo Brigade and Ben were giving in, then there would be nothing to say and they would all surrender.
.
At this moment, the distance between the battlefields in the two directions is actually not too far, but it is still about four or five miles away. The Song army responsible for the feint attack is fighting in full swing. The ladders and carriages have already reached the wall of the village. The Song troops on the carriages are
The military archers, already occupying the high altitude advantage, began to shoot arrows from a high position.
But this height advantage did not last long.
"Whaling harpoon——"
"Prepare the harpoon!"
"put!"
Bang!
The crossbow vibrated again, and the "harpoon" tied with a rope was shot out, piercing the building directly.
"winch--"
"Winch ready!"
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch... The naked strong men began to push the winch, and the whole truck began to shake. Before the Song Army had time to rejoice, one truck had overturned.
Squeak, squeak, squeak... boom!
There were an unknown number of Song soldiers who fell to death on the spot or were buried in the ruins. Screams immediately started to sound, and the dust raised by such a loud movement was so dense that half of the private lines under the wall could not be seen clearly.
The soldiers of the Song Army who were shrouded in smoke and dust were frightened and lucky at the same time. They were frightened because they could not see the enemy clearly, but they were lucky because the enemy could not see them clearly.
"Hot soup——"
“Hot soup is ready!”
Bang!
A simple skateboard was set up on the wall of the village. The direction was slightly adjusted. There were strong crocodile men or brave men on both sides. They used a rope and tried their best to throw the clay pot filled with boiling juice at an initial speed, and then
It flew out from the wall.
The distance is not far, but it is enough to deal with the Song army in the smoke.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
The screams and shouts were even more intense. As soon as the attack was successful, the team on the wall immediately started to move. At this moment, in the trench trenches inside the wall, countless engineers were shuttled, and supplies were transported up the wall very quickly.
At the same time, batch after batch of crossbowmen who were selected into the crossbow array were able to go up the wall to change defenses. The pressure of defensive battles was not small, but compared with field battles, defensive battles were obviously much easier.
Technical arms are more likely to be used in such a stage, and the main function of crocodile men and brave men is to strengthen their courage.
"Very good. The troops of the Song Dynasty have endured for so many days and are finally willing to move. If this continues, I will start to grow hair. Wouldn't that make me a green-haired turtle?"
Although the "Turtle Flow" is good, it is easy to relax. It is good to be mentally tense once in a while.
County Magistrate Li put away his telescope. There were many watchtowers and sentry towers in the wall. There was no room for large troops to maneuver between the ditches. Even if the Song army broke through the first line of defenses, they could only stare after entering.
Small groups of troops are hurting each other. Who are we afraid of, our hundreds of thousands of migrant workers? It’s not like they can’t organize themselves to demand wages violently.
"Abei!"
"exist!"
"Staring at the main formation of the Song Army, the arrogant Song Lufei actually didn't move. This bastard is so cowardly. You, the king of a fucking country, are now protected by at least ten or two hundred thousand people. You have to move forward no matter what.
Look at the scenery and give your children courage to fight."
"yes!"
Sha Bei received the talisman, took his troops, and immediately went to check the location of Zi Lu Fei.
As long as a bad war is fought, it will lead to death. The attacking side will waste lives, and the defending side will waste money, food and equipment.
With the current financial resources of the Song Dynasty, County Magistrate Li believed that Zi Lu Fei could afford it, but he was not afraid of it. He was very skilled at spreading coins.
He is different from Zi Ling Fei. This bastard Zi Ling Fei relies on his ancestral accumulation and special status. He is different. He has to develop his own productivity.
Anyway, I don’t have any money. Isn’t it enough to just print some “Big Red 01”?
Even County Magistrate Li considered what to do if he lost the battle. If he lost, he would pay Song Guo a little "big red 01".
When it slows down, continue to print "Big Red 01", and then start another round.
But now it seems that there is some brain damage within the Song Army. They were so reckless in the beginning, and it seems that the soldiers of Song Army who fought hard this time are still elite.
"Insanity, such good soldiers are used to attack the city? Zilu Fei must be sick."
While he was talking, a signal came from the east. Li Jie took out his binoculars and continued to look. He was stunned for a moment, "A feint attack? Impossible. How can a feint attack follow a strong attack? Song Lufei must be really sick."
Li Jie, who didn't know the details, could only assume that Song Fei, a gentleman of the Song Dynasty, was rich and willful. He might have thought that he could afford a strong attack in two directions because he had many soldiers and generals.
It seems that there is indeed no problem with this kind of operation. After all, the current garrison of Biyang Kingdom is mainly engineers. Although there are organized trainings on weekdays, they are also used to deal with emergencies, such as the escape route after the enemy breaks through the wall.
.
When there are dense ditches, you have to control your speed when racing within the "Second Ring Road".
At this time, Yang Ju, the senior official of Biyang Kingdom, was very lucky that the strong man Xiangguo was in charge of the overall situation. If it had been anyone else, he would have stayed in Biyang City, or else he would have run away.
How is it like now? After so long, Biyangcheng is living and working in peace and contentment, even though there is a lot less entertainment on weekdays, the market trade has not stagnated, but is still making a small profit.
The spending power of the engineering soldiers is not small. They may not be able to afford to spend every day, but after saving some benefits, it is not impossible to do it once a month.
After all, even if there are hundreds of thousands of people, even if you only pick one out of a hundred, that is still a considerable number of consumers.
Especially the folk savage women made a lot of money from the flesh business. This money was originally earned by the Qi people. Now the local private economy can compare with the international giants, which is also due to the special environment in the special period.
But this kind of achievement makes Yang Ju, a doctor at Zhongda University, very satisfied.
"Xiangguo, the Song army suddenly attacked fiercely, but what's the deep meaning?"
"It doesn't matter if he has deep intentions or not, Zi Lu Fei will hit him if he wants, and then he will hit him, and I will hit mine. This time I found the right position and gave him a hard blow!"
County Magistrate Li's eyes flashed and his tone was very firm, but he spoke very quickly, in the dialect of Wu State, and his vocabulary and grammar were awkward. Yang Ju, the doctor of Biyang State Middle School, didn't understand him at all.
He could only blink for a long time, and then nodded: "The Prime Minister has great foresight, I... admire him."
Foresight? What is my foresight?
But it is very good to be greatly admired. It feels very comfortable to listen to it. Not only must I be greatly admired, but I must also be deeply shocked.
Most of the mobilization efficiency is not high, so they are reorganized within the "second ring". The main force of the reserve team is the trained crossbow formation. Because these crossbowmen go on missions with the alternate brave men, they are equally accurate in conveying orders.
short.
At this time, within the range visible to the naked eye, a large number of ditches are no obstacle to our own troops. The efficiency of interspersing between teams is not low, and there is no mess.
In addition to whistles, a large number of flags are also a characteristic of the defenders. However, the flag bearers are mostly brave men. Occasionally there are one or two who are not brave men and are also from Tan or Biyang.
Dangdangdangdangdangdangdang...
Suddenly, a strange bell ringing came from the front battlefield. After the very rapid ringing of the bell, the Song army immediately dispersed. Most of these dispersed Song soldiers were old soldiers. They did not retreat backwards in a daze, but
It is running diagonally backward from both wings.
"Crossbowman——"
The wall of the village is also busy again. At this moment, the ditch under the wall is full of debris and corpses, various broken limbs, and a lot of garbage. There are not a few injured. There are a few crocodile men on the wall.
The captain only made a slight estimate and believed that the number of losses in this wave of suicidal attacks by the Song Army would definitely exceed a thousand.
Bang!
A bundle of bows and arrows was placed aside heavily by a crocodile man. The crocodile man asked excitedly: "How?!"
"The Song people ran away."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of waiting warriors on the wall cheered with crossbowmen. The cheers spread. Dai Guo Brigade Ben, who was launching an attack in the east, suddenly became more confident. The Dai army thought that the Song army had attracted a large number of defenders.
, seize the time now, there is something to be said for destroying the city.
"Sergeant, what should I do with the Fu Ren chariot?"
"What's the use of just a few dozen vehicles? Just deploy some soldiers to prevent unexpected events."
At this time, there seemed to be few troops on the opposite wall. Shafei murmured: "If we break through this place, we may be able to win this battle. Then we will be rewarded for our merits. Isn't it true that I have heard of it in the Central Plains?"
With his reputation, Shafei no longer wanted to stay in the Dai Kingdom. Even if he jumped to the Song Kingdom, he would still have a place to hang out. Even being a county doctor would be better than being a sergeant in the Dai Kingdom.
"Conquer the enemy!"
With a sound of kicking, Shafei drew out his sword, pointed from afar, "Attack!"
"attack--"
Ohh Ohh ohh……
The trumpets sounded everywhere, and the soldiers of Dai Guolu who were still moving seemed to be inspired and suddenly became energetic!
