Song Dynasty

Chapter 180 Yu Fu ([-]) Adding More
For this attack, Wang Shen mobilized a battalion with more than 2000 men and horses, and the goal was directly at the west gate of Qichun Water.

In fact, the drought is severe now, and Shui Simon cannot be called water.Just because a drop of water could not be seen, the water gate was exposed, which became a loophole in Qichun city defense.Therefore, the Sizhou Army's siege battle took this place as the main breakthrough direction from the very beginning. After a month or two, this dead land swallowed countless lives.

Unlike before, the special captives of the Sizhou Army took the lead, but today they dispatched all the elite main soldiers, which can be seen from the equipment and spirit of the soldiers.

Suddenly, the hearts of the people in the city tensed up.

However, to everyone's surprise, the enemy did not rush into the attack, but calmly organized the team and set up siege equipment.

I saw a row of carts being dragged over by mules and horses, and the soldiers unloaded the wooden shelves on them and began to assemble them.

It took a long time to fake a catapult that was too huge.

Seeing this majestic and tall trebuchet, the hearts of the people in the city tightened again. This kind of counterweight trebuchet has a long range and great power. In the past battles, they have suffered enough. This heavy machinery was knocked down.

The soldiers of the Kong family were even more flustered, shouting repeatedly, ordering the people behind to get ready, once the city wall collapsed, transport materials for repairs as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded from the opposite side, followed by fierce drums.

A series of ladders, rushing cars, crashing cars, and arrow towers swayed and moved forward slowly, followed by a large number of soldiers lined up.he
There was a loud bang, and under the tinkering of more than 20 Sizhou soldiers, artillery stones flew in one by one, hitting the city wall with dust and chaos.

The soldiers of the Confucian Army were used to the enemy's stone cannons, and they summed up a whole set of anti-cannon experience. They immediately shouted, and everyone hid behind the battlements and huddled together.

Liu Fu hurriedly said to Lu Benzhong beside him: "Master Lu, this place is really dangerous, you'd better go down to the city quickly!"

Lu Ben was also afraid in the center, and was about to leave.Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs from the Sizhou Army.

With a "crash", the enemy who had been moving forward in silence before turned around and retreated back at the same time.

At the same time, the catapults that were still firing stopped, and the gunners with the stone cannons began to dismantle the cannons.It was quickly disassembled into a dozen parts, packed into boxes, and pulled away by car.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that the Sizhou army retreated, the Kong family army on the city breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were greatly puzzled. Even Lu Benzhong stopped and lay down on the crenel to look intently.

Before the Sizhou army of this battalion had retreated, another battalion of soldiers came again.Still as before, set up siege equipment without panic and dissatisfaction, and organize a group charge.But after rushing a few steps, he retreated according to the order.

In this way, each battalion came and went, one after another, busy all day, until the soldiers on the city were tossed and exhausted.

This situation is purely military drama and a show of force. In fact, the purpose of the show of force has been achieved.

Tens of thousands of Sizhou troops came and went in an orderly manner, showing strict military discipline, which made the Kong family's army feel depressed for a while.

Lu Benzhong: "The old man seems to understand a little bit."

Liu Fu: "Also ask Master Lu for advice."

Lu Benzhong: "Wang Shen naturally knows that a strong attack will cause a lot of losses to the troops. Moreover, his main force did not mobilize when he attacked the city a while ago. Today's move is to train soldiers. It seems that he is far from using all the elites in his hands to attack our city. The day to launch a general offensive is only a few days away. Hey, the enemy is so arrogant, it would be great if we could bring out an elite force to fight them out. Why are you watching helplessly like this, but you can’t think about it, and the morale of our army is low!"

The faces of Liu Fu and the soldiers around him changed drastically: If, as Lu Benzhong said, Wang Shen is about to use all the elite at hand to launch a final general attack on Qichun, will the city still be able to hold it?This Qichun, my Kong family army is about to end!

As the sky gradually darkened, torches were lit on the opposite side, and then another row of carts came out.

A soldier beside Liu Fu shouted: "General, the banner is the former army of the Sizhou Army led by Wang Shen himself. Do you think it is a three-bow bed crossbow?"

Liu Fu looked intently, and suddenly took a breath.On the opposite side, there were row after row of bed crossbows carried out by Sizhou soldiers, and they were set up in the open space. It seemed that there were at least a hundred of them: "Yes, yes, it is bed crossbows. God, when will Wang Shen get them?" There are so many of these things? Master Lu, did you teach him when you lived in Huangzhou?"

Lu Benzhong rolled his eyes: "The old man has never taught him. There are many veterans of the Western Army in the Sizhou Army. Naturally, they know this kind of military weapon. Besides, the bed crossbow is not a big thing. It is very difficult to make. ?"

Liu Fu smiled wryly: "Master Lu has a peerless talent, so this kind of weapon is naturally not difficult for you." However, for ordinary people, I'm afraid they don't even know why the power of the bed crossbow is so powerful, let alone how powerful it is. made.

From the other end, Kong Yanzhou shouted angrily: "Let's also set up the bed crossbow and shoot."

The wooden hammer fell, and the bed crossbow that had already been erected on the top of the city fired fiercely, and the air was full of rumbling winds.

However, after the thick crossbow was shot out, it was swallowed up by the night, as if it was shot into the air.

Just as the soldiers on the city wall were in shock, suddenly, a louder sound of wind hit.

Looking up, everyone was shocked.I saw that hundreds of crossbow arrows fell from the sky, stuck on the city wall, and sparks flew in all directions.The defense equipment on the city wall was shot into pieces by this burst of crossbow arrows.

Lu Benzhong was finally frightened, he fled down the city wall three steps at a time, and returned to Kong Yanzhou's Xingyuan like a cloud of smoke, panting for a long time before he came back to his senses.

I don't know how long it took before I saw a group of people running in in disorder, shouting at the same time: "Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong, pass on Lang Zhong."

Looking intently, I saw Kong Yanzhou running back in embarrassment surrounded by the crowd with a blood-stained white cloth wrapped around his head.

Before Lu Benzhong could ask, Kong Yanzhou yelled: "What's your name? What kind of doctor do you want? You're making a fuss with a small injury. If you hurt our army's morale, I'll cut off your heads and get the hell out of here."

"But... ah!"

Kong Yanzhou kicked the soldier who was about to speak to the ground: "Stop talking nonsense."

Lu Benzhong hurriedly stood up and asked, "The general has defeated Wang Shen, is the injury serious?"

"What are you fighting for? The little thief surnamed Wang doesn't send troops to the city at all, and every time he pulls out the troops with a false pretence, is the Zhiniang thief using Lao Tzu to train soldiers?" He took a deep breath: "I still can't die, but Wang Bandit has too many bed crossbows, and the arrow shot a brick just hit me on the head."

He was already outraged.
