Song Dynasty

Chapter 156 Victory is in sight
In the Song Dynasty, because of the loss of the northern horse-producing land.And because of political corruption, Ma Zheng is useless.Therefore, the army is seriously short of horses and lacks sufficient mobility.

When facing the northern alien army that comes and goes like the wind, most of them take a defensive position.A word of keeping has run through almost the entire history of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Compared with offense, defense emphasizes the discipline, tactical coordination and weaponry of soldiers.

However, the politics of the Northern Song Dynasty implemented a policy of strong stems and weak branches, and the central government held very tightly to financial power, personnel power, and military power.Especially financial power, to put it bluntly, is to take all taxes back to the treasury and not leave any to the lower levels.

As a result, the local finances are on the verge of bankruptcy, and the local army is ridiculously weak.

The national treasury was full. On the surface, the Northern Song Dynasty was unimaginably rich.The equipment of the army was also excellent in ancient China. The horse lance, infantry armor, god arm bow, and piles of piles are all the pinnacle of the cold weapon war world.

Especially the bed crossbow is so powerful that it shocks the world.

It is said that the furthest range of this weapon reaches an astonishing 1000 meters.Of course, this is just speculation by later generations.Traveling to the Southern Song Dynasty, during the siege of Qichun, Wang Shen saw this weapon with his own eyes. According to his guess, it was five to six hundred meters long.The range may not be the key, the most important thing is that the lethality of this thing is too strong, once launched, it can be said that it is unstoppable.

As soon as they heard the sound of the bed crossbow being fired, the soldiers of the Sizhou Army all felt their scalps tighten, and they all suffered from bed crossbow phobia.

Damn Kong Yanzhou didn't know where he got so many bed crossbows to eat Wang Shen to death.However, the surname Kong had worked under Si Zongze who stayed behind in Tokyo for a period of time before, and had received formal training from the Western Army. He naturally knew the tactics and weapons of the Western Army. It is strange.

It is also indecent to come and not to go, since I can make a bed crossbow to suppress our Sizhou army, I can also repay him with his own way.

Therefore, Wang Shen also summoned craftsmen during the siege of Qichun, gathered the old soldiers of the Western Army who had used the bed crossbow before, combined with the information he had seen on TV and historical materials before, and fiddled with it for a while. Tinkered out by him.

This time when he returned to aid Huanggang, he also brought back these three-bow bed crossbows.

At this moment, ten spear-like crossbow arrows shot down with the sound of the rumbling wind, like black lightning bolts falling from the sky.

This is the power of nature, beyond human power.

Looking closely, I saw that the arrowheads on the tops of the ten crossbow bolts were different.

There is a huge crescent shovel, once it hits the human body, no matter what kind of armor you are wearing, it will be easily shoveled into two pieces.

But even so, nothing came to fruition. After cutting the person in half, the crossbow arrows remained undiminished, and they still rushed forward, shoveling through everything that stood in front of them.

Blood mist filled the air, stumps, broken arms, and human heads were flying all over the sky.

As for the crossbow bolts with hammer heads, they have another appearance. Once the black sledgehammer hits the human body, it will instantly smash the enemy into a soft mass, and then continue to charge forward. Will be thrown into the air.Wang Shen saw a crossbow bolt smashing through five or six enemies in one breath, and finally hit a shield. The enemy roared and was beaten to the ground, saving his life.But his arms had already been broken, hanging limply by his side.

There was a cry of panic.

Compared with shovel-shaped arrows and hammerhead crossbow arrows, ordinary cone-shaped arrows do not have such a terrifying sound and light effect.

The speed was too fast, the arrow was heavy, and it carried huge potential energy, easily piercing the enemy's body.

Many people die without realizing what happened to them.

Three Cao Chengjun soldiers were pierced into a string by crossbow arrows, like frogs being grilled, some wanted to fall down, others stood there blankly, and some tried their best to pull their bodies out of the crossbow arrows.After a while, these three people wailed tragically at the same time: "Who will save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die... Ah!"

However, their wailing was immediately covered by boundless screams.

The God Arm Bow and Step Bow started to fire, and the black arrows enveloped Yang Zaixing's central army like homing bees.

The god arm bow "da da" sounded continuously. Although the enemy was protected by heavy armor, he was easily shot down to the ground.

As for the bow, the soldiers of the Sizhou Army had already wrapped tinder around the arrowhead, lit it, and when it landed, it attracted the weeds on the roadside.

It has not rained for more than a month, and the weeds on the side of the road have already been scorched and yellowed by the poisonous sun. It is really dry.

In the wind, as soon as the fire ignited, it spread to both sides of the official road in an instant, like a galloping red horse.

With this sudden blow, Yang Zaixing's troops were completely thrown into chaos.Tens of thousands of people shouted in disorder, and some people ran towards both sides of the road, but they were forced back by fierce fire waves and smoke in a blink of an eye.

Someone was squeezed into the fire and rolled around on the ground, which aggravated Cao Chengjun's confusion.

The horrible smell of burnt human flesh wafted in the air, reminiscent of bacon during Chinese New Year.

Beside Wang Shen, more than a dozen soldiers pulled the capstan swiftly with their hands and feet. Amidst the creaking sound, the three big bows on the bed crossbow struggled to become round; Entering the ring, use the strength of the waist and legs to slam the string; compared with their slow movements, the speed of the archers is much faster.In just an instant, another three rounds of arrows rained down.

Even though there was thick smoke billowing below, and even though there was a black and tangled mass of defeated troops, Wang Shen still easily saw Yang Zaixing. In fact, from the very beginning of the battle, his eyes were firmly fixed on this enemy.

In the scene distorted by the heat, the silver armor on Yang Zaixing's body was already bright red by the flames.

His murderous and arrogant eyes were full of pain and despair.

After hearing Yang Zaixing's name, to be honest, Wang Shen felt unprecedented pressure.This is a very difficult opponent, and one of the rare figures in official history known for his bravery.

In this battle, Wang Shen put up all his energy and even made the worst plan.

But judging from the current situation, Yang Zaixing's army was in complete disarray, and there was no suspense for the Sizhou Army to win this unprecedented victory.

Eliminate Yang Zaixing, and the siege of Huanggang will be resolved. For him, Wang, it will really be a bright future.

When the second wheelbow crossbow and god arm bow were fired, Wang Shen shouted: "Sizhou army, charge!"

Five hundred cavalry rolled down, followed by the Beiwei army and the front army like a raging mountain torrent.

　Recently, I will be traveling for a while, about ten days, and there are few manuscripts at hand, so the updates are all small chapters of [-] words. I hope everyone understands, sorry.
