The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 226

Yue Fei put his hands on the battlements, looked down at the highly motivated Jin Army from a high position, smiled indifferently, looked sideways at his beloved general Zhang Xian, and said: "Let Wang Gui prepare the catapult, and wait for the general With an order, immediately launch the first round of stone-throwing attacks on the Jin army."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Zhang Xian nodded to the messenger on the side.

The orderly retreated in response.

Wang Gui built a high platform with a height of more than three feet on the inner side of the city wall, and then ordered people to put all the catapults on the high platform to increase the vision and range of the catapults.

During the Song Dynasty, after hundreds of years of development and improvement, the range of the catapult reached seven or eight hundred steps.

At this time, Wang Gui was standing silently on the high platform, with his hands on the awning, watching the Jin army approaching slowly, when he suddenly saw the messengers approaching on horseback, he was overjoyed and said: "The general's military order has arrived."

The messenger marched in front of Wang Gui, got off his horse, and said concisely and straight to the point: "Use the command flag as your name."

Wang Gui nodded silently, and looked in the direction of the messenger's finger, but saw a commanding flag soldier holding up the commanding flag, waiting for further instructions from Yue Fei.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Suddenly, the commanding flag soldiers began to wave the commanding flags in their hands in a rhythmic manner. Seeing this, the ordering soldiers nodded to Wang Gui quickly.

Wang Gui immediately drew out the saber from his waist, held it high above his head, and loudly ordered to the soldiers operating the catapult behind him: "Load the catapult."

"Prepare."

After Wang Gui's voice fell behind, there was a creaking sound from the high platform with a radius of nearly a hundred mu behind him.

Wang Gui saw that the five hundred catapults were all ready to shoot, so he waved his knife and pointed forward, "Let it go."

After Wang Gui's voice fell behind, there was a sudden violent tremor from the high platform behind him. The next moment, five hundred boulders the size of millstones soared into the sky, crossed the top of the city, and with a sound of breaking wind, they rushed straight to the golden army formation outside the city. and go.

Looking at the roaring boulder, Wanyan Yinshu suddenly pulled out his saber from his waist, and ordered loudly: "Keep in formation and dodge is not allowed, but anyone who escapes from the formation will be killed without mercy."

"The formation must not be chaotic."

"The formation must not be chaotic."

The same words kept coming out of the Jin army formation, and all the generals and schools were trying their best to stabilize the formation.

At this time, the Jin army is still nearly [-] steps away from the north gate of Xingyuan Mansion. If they charge towards Xingyuan Mansion at this time, when all the Jin army marches to the city of Xingyuan Mansion, they will be exhausted immediately. Shrimp, at that time, not to mention breaking through the city, even climbing the ladder will be very difficult.

The ancients were no different than the moderns. The diet of the ancients was not very reasonable. Even well-trained soldiers still had difficulty getting enough nutritional supplements. In addition, the ancients had to wear extremely heavy armors that weighed tens of catties. Let alone [-] steps, you will be out of breath even after running [-] steps, let alone [-] steps.

Therefore, Wanyan Yinshu can only bite the bullet and direct the Jin army to carry the roaring boulder and advance steadily. As long as it can maintain the formation and successfully enter the land of a stone's throw, then it will be able to 100% use the Jin army. of great combat power.

When the boulder fell to the ground, Wanyan Yinshu was so angry that he almost cursed at the boulder with a smooth surface like a pebble.

The hundreds of boulders were obviously polished by caring people, and the surface is extremely smooth. In this way, the friction with the ground can be greatly reduced. Therefore, when the boulder landed on the ground, it slid forward for nearly a hundred steps like a ball. Wherever they passed, a trench about one foot deep was plowed out, and on both sides of this trench of nearly a hundred paces lay at least a dozen soldiers of the Golden Army who had no time to dodge, wailing in pain in a pool of blood.

Due to the limited accuracy of the catapult, it is difficult to cause large-scale collective damage to the Jin army. Of the 400 boulders, only a few dozen fell into the Jin army formation, so this first round of catapults was only given to the Jin army. The corps suffered fewer than [-] casualties.

The biggest function of the catapult is to deter the enemy and cause its morale to drop, not to kill the enemy's vital force.

The steps of operating the catapult are extremely cumbersome, far from the ones shown in film and television dramas. From preparation to projection, it takes at least a quarter of an hour of preparation time to complete a round of projection.

Therefore, after the Jin army endured the next round of stone-throwing attacks, the soldiers of the Jin army who had escaped by chance finally breathed a sigh of relief. go ahead.

Wang Gui urged the soldiers under his command to launch a second round of stone-throwing attacks on the Jin army outside the city hastily before the Jin army entered the land of a stone's throw. cause any substantial harm.

Just when Wanyan Yinshu showed a complacent look, the general beside him raised his finger to the city of Xingyuan Mansion with a face full of astonishment, and said, "Why is he here?"

Hearing the words of Wanyan Yinshu, he couldn't help frowning, then followed the direction of his fingers to look at the top of the Xingyuan Mansion city, but saw a wooden prison hanging from the top of the city, and there was a person in the cage, who was naked curled up in a cage.

Although the man in the cage looked disheveled, Wanyan Yinshu could still recognize him at a glance.

"Zong Zongwang!"

Wanyan Yinshu quickly ordered someone to call in a messenger, saying: "Quick, hurry up and tell the marshal about this."

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin went up to check it out personally, and after confirming that the person hanging on the wall was Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and he finally experienced the feeling of throwing a mouse .

"For today's plan, what can I do?" Wanyan Zonghan looked sideways at Wanyan Xiyin.

Wanyan Xiyin shook his head helplessly when he heard the words, and sighed: "The only solution for now is to divide the troops."

"We can only conquer Xingyuan Mansion with a small number of elites." Wanyan Xiyin said lightly.

The current situation is that no matter where the main force of the Jin Kingdom appears, the cage where Yan Zongwang is imprisoned will appear. Therefore, the Jin Army can only display all the main forces at the north gate to attract the main force of the Song Army, and then A small number of elites went to attack other city gates. In this way, the numerical advantage of the Jin army was immediately eliminated.

Wanyan Zonghan absolutely did not dare to ignore the existence of Wanyan Zongwang, and thus issued an order to the entire army to storm Xingyuan Mansion. If the Jin Kingdom's clan knew that Wanyan Zonghan ignored Wanyan Zongwang's life and death, at that time, when Wanyan Zongwang died, Wanyan Zonghan His fate will definitely not be better than that of Wanyan Zongwang.

Wanyan Zonghan suppressed the anger in his heart, stared at the city of Xingyuan Mansion, gritted his teeth and said: "The Jin army is invincible in the world, this campaign will be the Jin army's main attack on the east gate, let the Liao army go to the west gate to contain the vital forces of the defenders, let the Han people The army is waiting outside the north gate."

Wanyan Xiyin nodded silently when she heard the words, and repeated as if to cheer herself up, saying: "The golden army is invincible."

The north gate of Xingyuan Mansion.

Yue Fei smiled and patted the cage where Wanyan Zongwang was imprisoned, and said: "The officials are sages, and they predict the enemy first. Thinking that Wanyan Zonghan is by no means easy to deal with, he left a big killer for us in advance. If so If you can win the battle, you still need to thank His Royal Highness the Second Crown Prince."

Looking at Wanyan Zongwang who was stuffed with a smelly and dirty foot wrap, Yue Fei smiled slightly and said, "Let's wrong you for now, after this battle, I will replace you with a cleaner foot wrap."

Yue Fei was worried that Wanyan Zongwang would bite his tongue and kill himself while being humiliated in every way, so he deliberately borrowed a pair of fetid foot wraps from a soldier who often didn't wash his feet, and stuffed them into Wanyan Zongwang's mouth.
