Song Dynasty

Chapter 193 Lux
"Decree!" The bed crossbowmen responded with a bang, and quickly lowered their firing angles.

A soldier raised a big wooden hammer and smashed it down on the machine expansion.

Sizhou's army commander is good at field battles, and he attaches great importance to bow and horse. He has been invincible since he became an army.But the tough battle was a new task for them. After besieging a small city of Qichun for two months, they paid a lot of casualties and consumed a lot of supplies, but they got nothing.

There is no way, everyone can only suppress the urgency in their hearts and learn how to attack the strong city.

Attacking fortifications is all about equipment, and what is important is the cooperation between various arms. There is no romance, no passion, and some are just mechanical, numb and step-by-step.

During this period of time, the troops built a large number of siege equipment, and also initially figured out the style of siege warfare.

However, for such an army accustomed to wildness, this method of warfare did not conform to their temperament.

During this period of time, there was an evil fire in everyone's heart.

Seeing Yue Yun's reckless charge with twenty personal guards, and someone yelling for the bed to shoot with a crossbow, everyone knew what he wanted to do.

More than twenty bed crossbows were shot out, and the long and huge crossbow bolts made a frightening boom in the air, nailed to the city wall with a bang, and penetrated one foot into it.

"Okay, good shot, next arrow, shoot!" The sound of the big wooden hammer falling one after another.

Another burst of crossbow bolts was nailed to the city wall.

Then came the third wave.

At this moment, the opposite city wall was already nailed densely with crossbow arrows, and Yue Yun and others had rushed under the city wall.

At this time, the bandits on the city wall came to their senses and shouted in panic: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, come quickly!" They threw down the raging wood and rolling stones, and some people drew their bows and pointed them down. down shot.

But there were too few of them, the total force on the long section of the city wall was less than fifty, and the arrows and arrows shot down from the thrown stones were sparse and posed no threat.

Yue Yun didn't wait for the horse to stop, he jumped up, grabbed the long and thick crossbow arrows, and climbed up.That's right, in addition to being used to suppress the enemy from a long distance and destroy the enemy's equipment, the bed crossbow can also be used to climb the siege soldiers. This method was used by the Western Army of the Song Dynasty in the Northern Expedition when they attacked Xixia. Second-rate.

The other twenty guards also jumped off their horses at the same time, striving to go up.

The fourth wave of crossbow arrows came, followed by the fifth wave.

The entire city wall was trembling from the huge crossbow arrows, and a large cloud of dust rose up.

Now Yue Yun is wearing two layers of armor, and his load has reached an astonishing forty catties. In addition to the weapons he carries with him, ordinary people can only act in front of him.But he is as agile as an ape, he can't stop climbing, his speed is dizzying.

There were very few bandit soldiers in the city, and seeing Yue Yun and the others climbing up, they were in a mess and didn't know whether to use defensive equipment or go back and call for reinforcements.

Seeing him getting higher and higher, after shooting a few arrows, he just yelled in panic.

In a blink of an eye, Yue Yun's arm was already on the battlements.

In the distance, Lu Can and others were still standing on the watchtower and staring blankly ahead.I saw that a rolling stone fell down and landed on a back Weijun.The soldier let out a scream, and then fell to the ground dully.

Then another clump of arrows rained down, and all the back-wei warriors were shot like hedgehogs.

But they still climbed up silently, even if they couldn't see clearly, they could still feel the determined expressions on their faces.

Lu Can couldn't breathe anymore, he just grabbed the railing fiercely, piercing his nails into the wooden bar.

"Deputy Army Envoy!"

"General Lu!" Everyone shouted.

At this time, a thief on the city wall stabbed Yue Yun in the head.

The good Yue Yingxiang stretched out his right hand and grabbed the spear and pulled it violently, tearing the enemy down the city.At the same time, he turned over, and his tall figure had stepped onto the city wall.

This is the first soldier of the Sizhou Army who has set foot on the city wall since the siege of Qichun. The soldiers of the Beiwei Army who have been silent all this time shouted at the same time: "A man who has carried Wei back will never retreat."

In a blink of an eye, the remaining 20 or so warriors had already climbed over the battlements and entered the chaotic army of thieves.

"Up, up!"

"General Lu, we can't wait any longer!"

"Give the order!"

Lu Can looked at Yue Yun and others with arrows all over their body, beheading the enemies on the wall crazily. His mind seemed to be explosives that were suddenly detonated by sparks. He couldn't control so much, and shouted loudly: "Everyone listen, press on!" , put them all on me. You don’t need to make any preparations, Yue Yun can open the city gate.”

"Yes!" The officers frantically ran downstairs, shouting loudly: "Attack, attack!"

"The broken city is now!"

……

Before the shouts fell, Yue Yun pulled out the big ax on his back on the city wall, roaring like thunder.The light of the knife flickered, and it knocked down a bandit army.Another kick kicked a freshly lit brazier towards the swarming bandits. In the strong wind and under the cloudy clouds, sparks flew all over the sky.

He has turned into a whirlwind of steel, slashing with an axe, butting with his shoulders, killing the enemies until they scream.

Since the battle with Yang Zaixing, to be honest, Yue Yun has been hit hard, and he once doubted his family's martial arts.He never thought that a person's martial arts could be so high, and it would be a lie to say that he was not depressed.

However, Yue Yun had an unyielding spirit in his bones.After coming down, it is not hard to work hard.In today's battle, I feel that I am three points better than before in terms of strength and reaction.It seems that martial arts has been greatly improved.

Facing this group of thieves whose military morale has been disturbed at this moment, it really has the taste of a weft-dropping attack in a science fiction novel of later generations.

With him charging forward, in a blink of an eye, the hundreds of Confucian soldiers on the city wall were all driven out by the dozen or so Beiwei soldiers.

"Woohoo!" The horn blew fiercely, followed by the rumble of drums. Looking back, the entire frontier army was in motion.A group of dark Sizhou Army soldiers came out of the camp like raging waves.

One ladder after another swayed, moving quickly on the ground.

"Lu Ziyu finally made a move." Yue Yun cheered up and shouted violently: "Listen, all the troops, spread out to both sides of the city wall, and continue to drive out the bandit army. Come two people, follow me to open the city gate."

Amidst the roar, he had already descended the city wall along the stone steps in a pool of blood, and rushed towards the city gate.

There were four bandits guarding the gate, and the thick wooden gate had already been nailed to death by Kong Yanzhou.

Seeing Yue Yun killing like a blowing wind, the dead man threw away the weapon in his hand at the same time, and squatted down with his head in his arms.

It's a pity that Yue Yun didn't have the intention of capturing prisoners. With the big ax stretched out, hot blood splashed all over the sky, hurting his face, and broken human bodies scattered all over the ground.

And red liquid was dripping down his body, like streams of streams.

After cutting down the four thieves, Yue Yingxiang gave a loud roar, and slashed at the city gate with a big ax in his hand.

Sparks splashed everywhere, sawdust flew, and the clanging sound pierced people's ears with severe pain.

The city gate shook violently.

The two Beiwei soldiers took a deep breath at the same time: "General Ying Xiang is very strong!"

The heavy city gate was opened, and the soldiers of the selection camp who had already rushed outside cheered, and instantly rushed into the city like a torrent of torrents.

Even though Yue Yun was as strong as a bull, he was still pushed back involuntarily by the crowd.

He pulled out a wooden thorn from his face, and in front of him, a flame shot up into the sky.

The thick black smoke has merged with the dark clouds in the sky, and there are shouts of killing and screams of bandits everywhere.

After two months of siege, the damn Qichun City was finally broken.

Boundless joy arose in Yue Yun's heart, and two thieves came over with spears and tried to stop him.He swung the long ax with lightning, and the two headless corpses swayed and fell down.

Wiping his face, he ordered sharply: "Someone is the commander of the Beiwei army, Yue Yun, follow me, and go straight to Kong Yanzhou's camp!"

"Yes, General Yingxiang." An officer squeezed up, laughing loudly: "General Yue really has the courage to be a stalker, I'm convinced, but I don't know where Kong Yanzhou's ambush is?"

"Qichun is only a little old, just kill him, kill him a few times, and he will always find that old grandson out!"

There was a time when he rushed forward to kill a pot of tea, only to see another group of men and horses rushing in from the oblique stab.The crowd had already turned violent, and was about to move forward when the officer at the head waved a shield, held a spear in front of him, and cursed loudly: "Blind plague weapon, have you lost your mind? I am Gu Lie, look Clear."

It turned out that it was Gu Lie, the commander of the enemy army, who came.

Yue Yun was overjoyed: "Lao Gu, why are you here?"

Gu Lie scolded: "Yue Yingxiang, I like you to eat meat, but I don't want me to come to drink soup. I have already opened the south gate to defeat the enemy army. Zhiniang is a thief, but today it is strange that the army of thieves is in disarray. The thieves didn't resist and fled at all."

Yue Yun: "Lao Gu, let me ask you why you want to attack with the whole army?"

Gu Lie: "I don't know, I got an order from the military envoy earlier, asking me to destroy the entire enemy army and attack, so we just follow the order. My mother-in-law, after fighting for two months, the main force has not been dispatched, and we are all idle. Come on, today can be regarded as a hearty killing."

Yue Yun: "The military envoy is thinking of attacking with the whole army."

Gu Lie: "General Ying Xiang is trapped in the city, how can he not save him?"

"Save, who wants you to rescue?" Yue Yun was furious: "You don't need to wait to come here, see the young master take down this damned Qichun by himself, you come to claim the credit, are you embarrassing?"

Gu Lie: "No one can take away General Ying Xiang's impressive achievements...Ying Xiang, General Yue...why are you missing?"

It turned out that the city was too chaotic, and Yue Yun charged too hard, since he didn't know where he went.

With the joining of the Podi Army, the small streets of Qichun City were already crowded with soldiers of the Sizhou Army.They yelled loudly in their mouths, whenever they saw someone who was not their own, they would slash down fiercely, regardless of whether it was bandits or civilians.

The fierce siege battle has completely stimulated the ferocity in their bones. At this moment, they only want to kill.

At the end of the fight, the red-eyed soldiers kicked open the doors of the houses one by one, and shot random arrows at the soldiers and civilians hiding inside.

Tired of killing, or too lazy to search the house, he threw a burning torch through the door and window.

The flames in the city were even brighter, and the cries of bandits and people were everywhere.

An even louder cheer came: "Take down the east gate!"

"Win the Czech Army, win the Czech Army!"

……

"Shuiximen has been taken."

"General Huyan is here, General Huyan is here!"

……

The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, and a group of cavalry arrived, and the cavalry on the horses whipped their whips to the side regardless of the enemy or the enemy: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, good dogs don't get in the way!"

Almost all the infantrymen who had already killed the sex had a human head tied around their waists. Seeing that the cavalrymen were so rude, they cursed at the same time: "Where did you come from? This is not the way to grab credit. Grandpas are in the city. Where were you four-legged birdmen when you killed the thief? Why, do you want to rely on your legs now?"

Those with explosive tempers are about to step forward with a long stick.

There was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of me, full of smoke, which made people cough uncontrollably.Yue Yun had already been separated from his subordinates, and had killed in the city in a dazed manner. He was annoyed when this team happened to come over.

Overjoyed in his heart, he shouted: "I am Yue Yun, stop for me!"

The leader stopped his horse: "General Ying Xiang."

This person was Fang Rongrong, seeing him, Yue Yun was overjoyed: "Fang Worong, do you know where Kong Yanzhou Xingyuan is?"

Fang Worong: "Of course I know." He used to be a civil official. After he came to Qi and Huang, he traveled all over the prefectures and counties. He was careful and had a clear understanding of the layout of Qichun City.

Yue Yun was overjoyed: "Give me a horse, and you lead the way, let's kill that old thief Kong."

Fang Worong: "I would like to listen to General Yingxiang's orders."

Yue Yun jumped onto a war horse and waved his hands violently: "Everyone, follow, follow!"

He knew that Qichun City was broken.However, the terrain in the city is narrow, which is not conducive to the deployment of large troops.If Kong Yanzhou relied on this messy street to fight with the Sizhou army, it would take a lot of work to deal with him, and the army would have to pay a certain price if it was not good.

The most important thing now is to cut off the old thief Kong's head before he regains his senses and before the troops gather.

Only in this way can we do our best.
