Chapter 609 Song Jin Zhengyan (4)

The sound of the horns in the low ground resounded throughout the field, and the endless Jin army was like black waves, waves pouring towards the east city, with spears densely packed like forests, murderous intent, and huge footsteps were neat and powerful.

Twenty thousand troops were arranged into four square formations, each of which was hundreds of steps apart, like four huge black carpets, rising and falling on the earth, with high morale and murderous aura soaring into the sky. They moved closer to the city wall from three miles away, drums were like thunder, trumpets were connected to the sky, flags covered the sky, spears were like forests, shields were like mountains, and death black appeared under the sunlight.

The main general who directly commanded the siege this time, Wanyan Zongwang rode on the war horse, pointed the city with a sword, "Progress!"

"Woo"

The sound of low trumpets resounded throughout the world, and more than a dozen wooden doumen were erected in the middle of each team, which was used to resist the flying stones on the city. Accompanied by the huge sound of wheels under the wooden doumen, nearly a hundred nest cars and cloud ladders, 20,000 troops rushed to Yanjing City three miles away with an unstoppable momentum.

At the same time, forty large catapults on the head of the East City were creakingly opened, two zhang high and three zhang long. The catapults could reach 200 steps away. Only thirty people could move. The black forty catapults stood on the head of the city, like forty giant beasts.

The Song army did not immediately use catapults and fire cannons. They needed the enemy to enter the range of killing as much as possible as possible, and then kill the enemy in large quantities.

At this time, the forty-pounding thunder weighing 40 kilograms had been put into the bullet pocket. Thirty people pulled ten belts as thick as arms, waiting patiently for the firing order.

In the middle of the battlements, five thousand soldiers held long bows and arrows, and one foot and five inch long thick arrows had already been put on the bowstring. The bows used for defense are different from those used for flat combat. The arrows do not need to shoot far, but they must be heavy so that the arrows can shoot through the enemy's armor by relying on their own gravity. Therefore, large arrows are generally used, with arrow shafts as thick as fingers, the sharp tips are streamlined, and there are bloodletting grooves on all sides.

Of course, it is also possible to use the Divine Arm Crossbow, but the Divine Arm Crossbow is very physically exhausted and has a slow winding speed. Using military arrows can achieve the same killing effect, so there is no need to use the Divine Arm Crossbow.

But the first shot was the crossbow. Li Yanqing deployed a thousand crossbows on the city wall, operated by two thousand soldiers, specializing in dealing with the enemy's nest chariots and catapults.

As the giant catapult of the Jin soldiers rumbling to 500 steps, the Song army's bed crossbow suddenly fired. The bed crossbow was made of four-foot arrows. This big arrow was extremely sharp to attack heavy objects. It was used to attack cities and could break walls and stones and collapse the city tower, with a range of thousands of steps, a range of seven hundred steps, and a range of five hundred steps of damage.

As one thousand bed crossbows were fired at the same time, a thousand large arrows shot quickly at the Jin soldiers' catapults, with extremely powerful force. Only a sound of "crack!" and the screams of soldiers came from afar. Nearly eight catapults were hit by big arrows, and the wooden frame collapsed and lost their combat power, but the rest of the catapults continued to walk forward.

When he was still three hundred steps away from the city, the fire suddenly appeared. Several Jin Kingdom catapults were launched suddenly. Six huge fireballs rolled in the sky and roared towards the city. The six fireballs all passed the city and smashed directly into the city.

With a loud bang, several houses were hit by fireballs, the roof of the tiles collapsed, and the fireballs rolled past, and the room quickly ignited a raging fire. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the flames and smoke rushed out of the roof.

"Extinguish the fire!" A general stomped his feet and shouted in an anxious voice.

These private houses relying on the city were temporarily requisitioned for military use, and a lot of military supplies were stored in it. Even dozens of thunders were stored in a room. If they were ignited, everyone would be finished. The soldiers were anxious and rushed into the house with buckets.

At this time, the second round of the Song army's crossbow was fired, and another thousand large arrows were shot away. There were loud noises of "bang! bang!" This time, ten catapults were hit and dispersed. At this time, only five catapults were left of the Jin army. Five huge fireballs roared past the city and rolled into Yanjing City. This time, a fireball hit the large tent that stored food. The large tent was ignited, and the flames were connected into the sky.

Nearly a thousand Song troops were desperately putting out the fire. The first batch of fireballs had been extinguished by the Song army. This time they used soil and hundreds of people threw baskets of soil into the tent. Soon a layer of soil was formed, burying the food under the soil. The remaining Song troops had removed all the tents around the fire to stop the spread of the fire.

At this time, Li Yanqing shouted loudly, "Ejaculate again!"

Li Yanqing knew very well that if the enemy's fireball was shot at the top of the city, it would probably cause an explosion of thunder. He had to get rid of this hidden danger first.

Another thousand large arrows shot towards the last five catapults in a dense manner. Only a rumbling sound of collapse and the screams of Jin soldiers when they were hit were heard. The last five catapults were all destroyed.

At this time, Wanyan Zongbi rushed over and said to his brother Zongwang: "It's a bit strange!"

Wanyan Zongwang watched as the twenty catapults and five nest cars were all destroyed by the enemy's arrows. His eyes turned red in anxiety, and he turned around and shouted, "What are you talking about?"

Wanyan Zongbi was stunned for a moment and said anxiously: "Second brother, calm down."

Wanyan Zongwang restrained his anger and nodded, "Tell me! What's strange?"

"Don't you find it strange? We have already reached the city quickly, why is the catapult on the city still not launched?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Wanyan Zongwang's eyes, but this doubt could not suppress the anger in his heart. He said coldly: "What the hell are they doing? Don't you know if you go up to the city?"

Wanyan Zongwang waved his sword and shouted: "Surprise the city for me!"

Although the Song army's crossbow temporarily eliminated the offensive of the catapult, it could not stop the attack of more than 30,000 troops. As the sound of drums urging war in the Jin army camp accelerated, the soldiers from four square formations ran and rushed towards the city overwhelmingly.

The moat was covered with wooden boards and had long lost its function of obstruction. Ladders and nesting vehicles crossed the moat and landed on the walls. Tens of thousands of Jin soldiers climbed up the ladder like ants, holding shields in the other, and climbed up with a force of force. Arrows on the top of the city were raining, and stones were rolling down like hail. Soldiers were hit and shot, screaming and falling down to the city...

Li Yanqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the enemy troops under the city. In addition to 5,000 support, 15,000 troops entered within 300 steps. The time was ripe.

Li Yanqing turned around and ordered: "Cathode launches!"

Cao Xing had already been holding it in his arms and exploded like a thunder. Li Yanqing's order was like igniting his fire letter. He immediately yelled in a hoarse voice, and fired it!"

The Song army's long-standing counterattack suddenly broke out. Forty black balls rose into the air, and blue smoke rose from the balls, flying straight to the heads of more than 15,000 people under the city. The Jin soldiers all raised their heads and looked at the balls strangely. They were obviously not stones. What would this be?

But the Jin soldiers never thought about what kind of demon they were facing. Since they appeared on the battlefield more than a hundred years ago, they have been acting tepid. It was not until Li Yanqing arrived that they finally revealed their hideous true nature.

When forty balls with blue smoke fell into the dense Jin soldiers, in the blink of an eye, dozens of hot lights burst out from the Jin soldiers, and a series of earth-shaking explosions. Large areas of soldiers were blown away, crushed to pieces, flesh and blood and limbs flew everywhere, and large trunks of black smoke rose into the air. The originally dense soldiers disappeared, and the ground was covered with broken bones and meat, and a large number of soldiers were shocked to death. The smoke and bloody atmosphere on the entire battlefield were mixed together, which was disgusting.

The explosion affected several miles, with thousands of casualties, and the entire battlefield was stunned. Only the war horses were so scared that they were neighing, dragging the souls of the dead cavalry to run, and their long manes flew in the smoke, like a ghost horse from hell.

Although Wanyan Zongwang was five hundred steps away, he was still overturned by the strong air waves, his ears were buzzing and he could not hear anything. After a while, he knelt on the ground and couldn't help but cover his head with both hands and shouted, "Oh my God of Changsheng!"

Forty Zhentian killed more than 2,000 people on the spot, and more were injured, lying on the ground and moaning in pain.

But Li Yanqing waited for the order now, and it was not just a charge. He wanted those strong Jin soldiers to remember forever that although the Song people did not have the murderous aura of their beasts, they had the wisdom they did not have. Killing people does not have to rely on swords, but they can succeed with their brains.

"Start again!" Li Yanqing issued a second order firmly in his tone.

Another forty thunderstorms rose into the air and flew towards the head of the Jin soldiers who had not yet reacted under the city. Forty thunderstorms exploded again.

The earth-shaking explosion trembled the earth, and the demon of death was roaring. It sprayed flames, mixed with poisoned iron sand and iron sheets, and swallowed everything around it unscrupulously.

On the battlefield, whether on the top of the city or in the distance, the Jin soldiers were stumbled and stood unsteadily, or covered their ears and screamed and fell to the ground. When the second huge black mushroom rolled into the sky, the two square formations of the Jin soldiers had disappeared. The continuous concentrated explosion of eighty black gunpowder in the sky was the first time in history. On the battlefield, the Bohai soldiers became the sacrificial items of this war demon.

The Jin soldiers who were not injured finally reacted. They shouted, turned around and fled to the camp at all costs. The 20,000 troops were defeated like a mountain. It was a pity that the Song army could not open the city to pursue it. But even so, the Song army felt great encouragement and the city was filled with joy.

But the joint effects brought by the eighty thunder explosions were not expected by Li Yanqing. Wanyan Aguda, who was standing from afar, was also surprised. The huge explosion made the Jin soldiers' horses frightened, and they neighed and ran eastward regardless of everything. The eighty horses pulling the big platform were also disturbed by the strong explosion. In contrast to their usual docileness, they were frightened and screamed, turning around and running wildly.

The wooden platform was pulled by the crowd of horses and swayed violently. The wooden wheel on the right left the ground and leaned forward. Wanyan Agu, who was standing on the edge of the wooden platform, was caught off guard and fell off the wooden platform. Then, more than a dozen war horses who turned around stepped directly over him.

The ministers behind were immediately panicked and rushed up together and shouted: "Lord of Wolf! Your Majesty!"
