Chapter 93: The doomsday of a hugely powerful trebuchet

Views:

Finally, at the end of the day, looking at Qingshi City, which was still motionless, Wanyan Loushi, who had been observing the battle for the whole morning, said softly: "Mingjin!" Shi Guduo breathed a long sigh of relief and turned his head. Shouted: "Mingjin retreat!"

The Jin Bing finally withdrew, the blood-covered beast breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat on the ground leaning against the city wall and couldn't stand up anymore. At this time, the entire city was panting, and everyone didn't have the energy to say a word. After fighting for more than an hour, the iron-fighting man couldn't stand it.

The beast looked at the soldiers who were lying motionless in the corner of the wall with arrows stuck in their bodies and covered in blood. The beast who thought he had been indifferent to life and death, could not speak for a long time. Since following Zhao Zhen, he has undergone rigorous training, training these soldiers, but also training himself. During the training, he can say that he has forged a deep friendship with the group of soldiers under him. Now that all the familiar faces have turned into icy corpses, how can he not be sad

"General, the remains of these brothers..." the lieutenant asked softly, following the beast's gaze. The beast turned his head and looked at the Golden Army camp outside the city, holding back his tears and said: "Order people to carry it down, let them be lighter, brothers can feel it." The lieutenant nodded silently, summoning Qi city no The soldiers of the fifth battalion on the battlefield went up to the city wall and began to move the remains of the soldiers lightly.

The soldiers who had been sitting on the wall of the city wall stood up at this time, silently watching the robes of the corpses being removed from the neck and moved down the wall.

The corpse cannot be stored for too long, otherwise it will cause a plague. Zhao Zhen passed an order and immediately cremated the bodies of the soldiers. A group of people burned the remains of the robe with a heavy heart, and packed the ashes for preservation. There is no way, they cannot be buried under the current conditions, they can only be cremated. Zhao Zhen will build a group of heroes' tombs in the future, and he will definitely find them a good place to bury them.

After finishing this important event, everyone hastily spent lunch, and Jin Bing's new round of offensive began again. At the northern gate, the beast took the remaining four battalions of soldiers and a battalion of soldiers and horses borrowed from the Shenlong Army to fight against the Golden Army. Although nearly three hundred soldiers died later, it still made it difficult for the Jin Bing to cross the thunder pond!

As the sun sets, Jin Bing, who has suffered heavy losses, retreats. The Jin Jun left the corpses everywhere, and under the golden afterglow, the remaining Jin Jun siege troops slowly withdrew.

Injured and died, Shiguduo's army lost a total of 7,000 people. Facing the extremely strong fighting force and powerful firearms and defensive weapons of the Xinwang Jun, Wanyan Loushi secretly marveled. They had never lost so many troops in a siege before!

Now the Golden Army’s firearms are inferior to the faith in the King’s Army. The faith in the King’s artillery blasted dozens of the Golden Army’s thunderbolt guns with thousands of soldiers into the sky. What made Wanyanlou's room most unexpected was the extremely long range of Xinwangjun's artillery. It was also unexpected that Xin Wangjun could see their gunpowder and firearms from a distance with a single-tube telescope made of glass lenses.

If you can't attack Zhongtiao Mountain, if you attack Shanzhou City first, you will suffer from the enemy. Wanyan Loushi reluctantly mobilized the other armies one after another, and mobilized the whole army to start the siege.

Under the fierce attack of the Golden Army, the two sides fought fiercely for two more days. The Golden Dragon Army’s Beast Division, which was ordered to defend the north wall, suffered heavy casualties. From the first 5,000 people stationed in Bluestone City, only less than 3,000 remained. Only the fifth battalion made up of elite cavalry that the beast has never been willing to use. The soldiers fought bravely with their enthusiasm, and Beicheng did not allow any golden soldiers to break through the city's defense line!

The sunset is west, the setting sun is setting. The day's offensive and defensive battle finally came to an end. Numerous Golden Army siege infantrymen retreated one after another, and the Golden Army cavalry still placed arrows in the distance for cover. After three days of siege, the Jin army was killed and wounded, and the loss had exceeded 20,000 horses, which had exceeded their bearing limit.

And on that night, Wanyan Loushi finally waited for his siege weapon. After losing a large number of soldiers, he still did not retreat, just waiting for his heavy treasures.

In the early morning of the sun, the beast stood on the city wall, adjusted the archer to the city wall and began to prepare arrows, waiting for the gold army to attack again. Sure enough, just as soon as the arrows were ready, the Jinbing camp started to attack on time with drums and horns.

A blood-stained white cloth was wrapped around his head, and the lieutenant who was lying on the city head observing the distance between the golden soldiers slowly twisted his brows. He suddenly turned his head and fiddled with a beast with a five-stone giant bow and shouted, "Master Beast, look what it is!"

The beast had to put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and then lay on the wall and looked up. At this time, Zhao Zhen and Zhang Baoliang, who were observing the enemy's situation with single-tube telescopes, also discovered Jin Jun's new weapon at the same time.

I saw that the golden soldiers in the distance were slowly pushing out big guys, pushing them about five or six miles below the city, and then stopped, and then lined up. At this time even the Beast finally saw what it was. It turned out to be a base and a big tree trunk. The Beast had never seen this thing before, and the lieutenant stared at it with big eyes and small eyes for a long time without seeing a brow.

At this time, Zhang Baoliang, who was observing the enemy's situation with a single-tube telescope, immediately changed his face and lost his voice: "It's a giant stone thrower!" Then he ran to the beast and said, "Master General Beast, this is a giant stone thrower, let the brothers Hiding in the city!" After that, I ignored the beast that was still confused, and shouted at the soldiers who were playing with the steel cannon: "Hurry up and add the guard deck to the tower in front of the cannon!"

The soldiers were taken aback for a moment, and without asking for any reason, they immediately pushed and pulled the huge stone deck constructed by the huge boulders toward the wall of the tower in front of the artillery, to protect the safety of the tower. Although I still didn't understand what was going on, the beast saw that the situation was not right, so he immediately shouted: "Quickly retreat, everyone will retreat to the caverns under the city to hide!"

Upon hearing the beast's order, the soldiers who were also full of wonder took up the sword and ran down the city. In a blink of an eye, a scream cut through the sky. The fierce beasts, Zhang Baoliang and others who stayed on the wall to observe reflexively lie down on the ground. Then there was a loud noise, the city wall trembled, and a few rubble fell on the back of the beast.

The beast raised his head in surprise, and saw that the wall stack in front of him had collapsed by a layer. He hurriedly climbed up and rushed to the wall stack behind him, lying on the top and looking at the big monsters in the distance. As soon as I saw it, the beast froze there, and saw those big guys' large tree-trunk seesaws with great strength, the front of which touched the ground, and the back was tilted. One by one, the dark things were thrown out, so one after another, there were a dozen dark things flying towards the city in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the black object that was getting closer and getting bigger and bigger, the recovered beast hurriedly squatted under the wall, protecting its head with its arms, and its body shrank into a ball. Then I heard a few loud sounds of'tom tom tom' resounding at the head of the city, and the rubble flew around in an instant. The beast's body shrank into a ball and suffered a few blows, feeling his back hurt! As soon as the sound stopped, I saw that many of the surrounding walls were smashed and collapsed.

At this time, Zhao Zhen, who was in the castle tower, lay down on the wall and looked down, and she saw that the golden soldier in the distance had begun to carry the ladder and ran towards this side. Seeing this, he turned his head and yelled at the beast: "Beast, let the soldiers come up. It doesn't need to be too many, half a battalion of troops, three hundred people are enough."

Although there are still boulders and explosive bombs falling on his head from time to time, Zhao Zhen also knows that at this time he can only come up at the risk of being smashed and bombarded, but as Sergeant Jin approached the city wall In the next charge, the intensity of the giant catapults thrown by the Golden Army was significantly reduced.

The Beast nodded at Zhao Zhen, and then ran to the soldiers hiding under the city wall and shouted: "Order the three hundred soldiers and come to the city!" The lieutenant of the Beast shouted and agreed, and quickly nodded Qi San. A hundred people ran up to the city.

The city continued to drop stones and arrows. The stones and thunderbolts thrown by the giant stone dumper in the distance posed a huge threat to the defenders of the city. The rolling of the huge stone, coupled with the power of the broken stone and the splash of the iron flakes of the thunderbolt, is really so powerful that it is frightening!

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen had the foresight and only allowed 300 people to go to the top of the city. As a result, the population density of the top of the city was greatly reduced, and most of the boulders and thunderbolts that flew up to the top of the city were lost. Even so, in less than a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen soldiers were killed under the boulder and thunderbolt, and the situation was terrible.

The moat of the castle tower was also broken into several pieces, and if it continues like this, the castle tower will collapse. Seeing this moment, Zhao Zhen immediately picked up the monoculars and shouted at the artillery: "Listen to my order, the gun barrel adjusts the angle, it won't adjust the angle? You fool! Give me a stone..."

Under Zhao Zhen's command, a cannon began to rotate, and the muzzle changed its angle. "The front left is about a sixty-five degree angle! I don't know what a sixty-five degree angle is? Then leave it to the left. I say stop and stop..." Zhao Zhen shouted.

Afterwards, following Zhao Zhen's command, a group of artillery aimed at the trebuchet group on the top of a mountain five miles away began to roar.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...!" A huge roar kept resounding across the sky, and black smoke filled the tower.

At this moment, along with the roar of the giant artillery, thirty shells flew far away and landed near the giant catapult. Accompanied by a fire wave of flames mixed with black smoke, dozens of giant trebuchets were immediately bombarded by blooming bombs. The bombing detonated the Golden Army's thunderbolt, which immediately caused a chain of explosions. The roar of the film was earth-shattering, and it shattered the entire hill to pieces.······

The generals of the Kingdom of Jin could not have imagined that from such a far place on the hill, the Xinwang Army's firearms could use the muzzle elevation to hit them, so they did not have any defense at all. Jin Jun put all the boulders and thunderbolts on the hill where the giant catapult was located. After being detonated by the artillery shells, the thunderbolts filled with tens of thousands of kilograms of explosives were immediately detonated. Above the clouds of smoke.

In the fierce roar, countless boulders were blasted into fragments, and all the Golden Arms Army and giant catapult troops were blasted into minced meat. In the huge explosion, a piece of stone and the detonated shrapnel of the thunderbolt fell suddenly, and in an instant, hundreds of gold soldiers guarding the trebuchet on the hillside were hit and killed. In addition to the more than 1,000 firearms, slingers and guards that were smashed into pieces very close to the giant trebuchet, 30 shells cost the Golden Army more than 2,000 men and horses.

At this time, when the Golden Army came with 80,000 soldiers, only less than 55,000 people were left with combat effectiveness at this time. The attack power was greatly weakened. The north wall, which was immobile for three days, was on the offensive with intensive gold soldiers. Next, it became the meat grinder of the Jinjun.

Watching the hill on which the giant trebuchet was turned into a sea of flames, watching the corpses of his own army soldiers piled on dozens of hills under the bluestone city wall. The Wanyan Lou room in the distance couldn't help but twitch his cheeks. He fought against Wang Jun. Although he failed several times, many people died. But after several battles, the total number of people who died was not as many as this siege.

Since the rise of the Jin Army, since the start of the siege war, so many corpses have never been piled up on the wall. Seeing this look, Wanyan Loushi couldn't help sighing why he encountered such a difficult bone.

Although the troop loss was huge, and the giant catapult and thunderbolt were completely blown up, Wanyanlou's room was still unwilling to withdraw troops. He commanded the Jin Bing to attack again. Seeing the densely rushing Jin Bing, the beast couldn't help feeling nervous. He looked back at Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, but saw that he was smiling, without the slightest nervous look.

Finally, the shouts of Jin Bing sounded under the roots of the city wall, and the ladders were erected, and the goose carts and the sky sedan also approached the city wall. After Jinbing paid the price of countless corpses to kill the city wall again, the two sides fought fiercely again.

At this time, Li Yanxian's Shaanzhou city was also besieged by the 20,000 gold army pieced together by the Wanyan Lou family. Li Yanxian was sitting in Shaanzhou City with tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and he could completely defend Shaanzhou City. He ordered the soldiers to dig a deep tunnel to the Jinbing camp. At night, Li Yanxian sent a golden soldier to rush out of the tunnel and set fire to the Jinbing camp. He led a large army to rush out of the city, the golden soldiers collapsed, retreating several miles and camping.

But the golden soldiers have a lot of strength. Li Yanxian has only a few thousand golden soldiers, and most of the others are strong soldiers, and they don't have much combat effectiveness. Maybe it's okay to fight a tailwind with the Xin Wangjun, or to defend the city. However, once alone with the Golden Soldier, it is impossible to defeat the Golden Soldier.

When he heard that Gao Pang of Qingshi Mountain City was besieged by the 80,000 gold army, Li Yanxian, anxious but unable to support, could only send his confidant Shao Yun out of the city disguised as a golden soldier to ask for help from Zhang Jun.

The military situation was urgent. Shao Yun had four horses and one man. He ran swiftly without stopping all the way. He was so exhausted that three war horses died. When the sun went down, Shao Yun finally rushed to the camp where Zhang Jun, an envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan and Shaanxi, led his army.

Seeing a tent erected in the distance, Shao Yun, who was riding on a horse, smiled with satisfaction, he finally arrived! Suddenly he felt his body soft, and he dropped his horse, lying on the ground and gasping for breath. Then there was a loud bang, but the last warhorse lay down on the ground, spitting white foam.

Too lazy to care about them anymore, Shao Yun, who took a few breaths on the ground, got up with difficulty and stumbled towards the camp gate built by two big wooden poles not far away. Just about a hundred steps away, an arrow shot at Shao Yun's feet, and someone at the camp gate shouted: "Who is the one who came, please report your name."

Shao Yun immediately took out the commander's waist card on his waist and was about to shout, but there was no way to speak in his untouched throat all day, and after a few strokes, there was no more noise. In desperation, Shao Yun had to walk forward with his waist card, hoping that these soldiers from Zhang Jun's Daying Daying could see it. But after walking for a few steps, Shao Yun felt the world spin, and then fainted to the ground.

The soldier who had just called at the camp gate saw that the other party didn't answer, so he raised one hand and continued walking, and walked towards Shao Yun.

At this time, the sun hadn't just set, and the sky was not very dark. The soldiers who took a few steps forward with their spears suddenly discovered that they were wearing ordinary people's underwear similar to clothes. It turned out that after Shao Yun disguised as a golden soldier, after taking off his military uniform, he had no other clothes. He was wearing the golden soldier to serve and crossed the Song Dynasty. He was afraid of being misidentified, so he could only wear underwear. This is also Shao Yun's influence. One of the reasons for feeling unwell.

Seeing that it was a strangely dressed person, and still not awake, several soldiers stepped forward to check. At this moment, a sharp-eyed soldier showed Shao Yun's waist card tightly in his hand. What kind of good thing this soldier said, he was pleasantly surprised: "Look, he has something in his hand!" Several people were taken aback, grabbed the waist card in Shao Yun's hand, and didn't know what it was.

An older soldier was very knowledgeable, and saw this thing vaguely familiar, he couldn't help but was shocked when he took a closer look. It was clearly the waist cards worn by the generals, and he lost his voice: "This is a waist card!" Several soldiers were taken aback, and one of them asked, "What waist card?"

The senior soldier said in shock: "It's the waist cards that adults wear all day long!" "Ah, you mean this man is a general? Impossible? Look at this dress... "Speaking of which, this man I can't say anything. What if the frontline was defeated by a general who had fled back for his life, or there was an emergency military affairs that encountered special circumstances? Thinking of this moment, the soldier greeted everyone to help Shao Yun who was unconscious, and the old soldier also ran back with his waist card. Zhao Du looked at the waist card.

Dutou, who was eating a partial meal at ease in his small tent, was immediately taken aback by the badge sent by the elderly soldier. This waistband is only worn by the commanding adults! Thinking of this, they all got up and ran out, and immediately reported to the battalion commander. When the battalion commander saw this waist card, he picked it up and went to find his boss to lead the adult.

When the commander saw this waist card, he immediately took the commander and Dutou to take a look. The crowd arrived in a small tent, and a few soldiers gathered around Shao Yun to fill him with water. Seeing the man in front of him with a tired face, the leader vaguely guessed his origin.
