Chapter seven hundred and thirty first arrow stone contest

The Jin soldiers were shooting out more than a dozen rounds of tincture oil barrels, changing their tactics, and instead using lit fireballs, dozens of black smoke-emitting fireballs rose into the air and shot towards the top of the city.

At the same time, the Song army at the top of the city also completed the installation of the bed crossbow. The bed crossbow is currently the longest-range defensive weapon, which can project thick arrows to a thousand steps away. Of course, that is only the range. For ordinary soldiers, about 700 steps is enough. To deal with large siege weapons such as siege machines and nest vehicles, it takes at least about 500 steps.

However, the use effect of bed crossbow is not very good. It is not like large defensive weapons such as catapults and cannons that can be placed at the back of the city, while the bed crossbow must be placed in front. This causes the bed crossbow to occupy too many combat windows, affecting the launch of soldiers' crossbow arrows. Moreover, after the popularization of firearms, the disadvantage of the small range of killing on the bed crossbow was also highlighted. It is this contradiction that makes bed crossbows gradually no longer use.

Today, it was because the Jin soldiers used giant trenchers at a distance that the Song army could not think of other cracking solutions besides the bed crossbow, but the installation and debugging of the bed crossbow was also very complicated. When the three hundred bed crossbows were finally installed and debugged, the fire attack of the Jin soldiers began.

Huge fireballs hit the city wall, bounced high or landed at the foot of the city wall, igniting the tincture oil outside the city. Outside the northern city wall of Bianliang, fire was suddenly blazing and thick smoke was everywhere. More than a dozen fireballs passed through the city wall and fell into the city, igniting the tincture oil that had not been processed yet. However, compared with the flames outside the city, the situation in the city was much more serious. Most of the overflowing tincture oil in the city was covered with mud and sand. Except for the part of the oozing oil that was ignited, there were basically no serious consequences.

There were several fire points on the top of the city, mainly concentrated in the eastern section. It was also a fire caused by the fact that six barrels of turmeric oil fell accurately on the top of the city, which made soldiers unable to deal with it in time. There were three fire points in total, and the fire area was about five or six meters. For the city wall that was more than ten miles long, this fire was nothing.

"Report to General, the bed crossbow has been installed!" A soldier reported to Liu Qi loudly.

Liu Qi shouted loudly, "Shoot!"

The three hundred-step crossbow was fired at the same time. Three hundred wine glasses were thick and four-foot-long iron arrows soared into the air and roared towards the catapult four hundred steps away. ‘Bang! Bang!’ The Jin soldiers’ catapults made a huge impact sound. Thirteen catapults were shot by large crossbows. Eleven of them hit the wooden pillars and were not damaged much. Two catapults were shot on the belt. The belt was damaged and quickly torn apart under the huge pulling force. ‘Boom!’ Two catapults collapsed. The soldiers next to them were so scared that they dodged away, but the five-meter-long throw pole landed on the ground and injured several people.

At this time, the second round of three hundred crossbows shot, and two more catapults were destroyed and collapsed.

Wanyan Zongwang's face was a little ugly. He thought that the seamless breakthrough plan showed signs of failure.

He took it for granted when he made the plan. He threw turmeric barrels four hundred steps away, and how could each barrel fall accurately on the city wall? It was good that 20% of them fell on the city wall. After all, it was because the number of catapults was too small.

At this time, a soldier rushed over and said, "Report to Deputy Commander, Marshal Du asked you to replace the huge stone attack!"

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and ordered: "Switch to attack by the huge stone!"

The catapult was changed to a giant stone attack. At this time, the Song army's crossbow shot out the fourth round. This round was sharp. Five catapults were shot down. Only forty catapults were left in the Jin soldiers, all of which were equipped with huge rocks and creaked the pole.

"Shoot!" Wanyan Zongwang gave the order, and the drums were loud. Forty throwing poles were swung out at the same time. A black dot appeared in the sky and shot towards the top of the city quickly.

"Not good, it's a huge rock!"

The soldiers on the top of the city shouted, and the soldiers squatted down one after another, "Boom! Boom!" The sound of the huge rock was far greater than that of the wooden barrel. The huge rock hit the city wall hard, and the soldiers around them felt a slight shaking.

"Do not to escape!"

A huge rock roared and the soldiers shouted to avoid it, "Boom!" The big rock hit the battlements, and suddenly the gravel flew out. The huge rock weighing hundreds of pounds bounced up again, flew over the heads of a group of soldiers, and smashed hard on a catapult. With a click, the main shaft of the catapult was broken. The catapult shook and fell down to the city with a bang.

Immediately afterwards, another chassis and a cannon were also smashed by a boulder. The first round of chassis attacks caused the losses of two chassis and a cannon.

The soldiers also suffered losses. A huge rock crossed over his head and smashed into the city, which happened to hit a group of auxiliary soldiers, causing thirteen deaths and more than twenty injuries. Several female soldiers rushed to arrive and began to urgently rescue the wounded.

The big crossbow flew and the huge rocks flew. After seven or eight rounds of battle, the losses gradually increased. Nearly half of the giant trenchers of the Jin soldiers were destroyed, and nearly twenty trenchers and artillery on the top of the city were also lost.

Wanyan Xie's face also became a little gloomy. There were 120 catapults on the other side on the head of Guangbei City. Now they have only been destroyed less than 10%, but their own catapults have been lost. Needless to say, they have lost this catapult battle.

Wanyan Xie was also a little dissatisfied with Wanyan Zongwang. His plan would not work at all. If this continues, the morale of the army will be lost. Wanyan Xie didn't want to wait any longer and ordered coldly: "Send the order to attack the city!"

"Deputy Commander, Marshal Du has an order, and the army will attack the city immediately!"

Wanyan Zongwang felt a little bitter. He knew that Wanyan Xie was already dissatisfied with him. They were indeed at a disadvantage in this long-distance battle. The opponent's bed crossbow has a large strength, a long range, and a fast winding. Although the single arrow has far less lethality than the situation, it is because of the large number. More importantly, the opponent is condescending and has a great advantage. It is not surprising that they are in a passive state.

Wanyan Zongwang had no choice but to order: "Transfer my order, the Third Army and the Fourth Army will attack!"

The Third Army and the Fourth Army were composed of the Bohai people, the Bohai people, that is, the Mohe people. In the middle Tang Dynasty, Dae Jo-young, the leader of the Sumo Mohe, established the Bohai Kingdom in Liaodong, completely imitating the Tang system. The country was quite prosperous, but it was finally destroyed by the Khitan. The subjects of the Bohai Kingdom were called the Bohai people. In the process of the Jin Dynasty's destruction of the Liao Kingdom, the Bohai people also made great efforts, making them have a high status in the Jin Kingdom, second only to the Jurchens.

The equipment of the Bohai soldiers was exactly the same as that of the Jurchens. They were wearing iron armor, iron helmets, spears and copper shields. They participated in most battles to destroy Liao, with very strong combat power and rich experience in siege.

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’ The fierce drum sounded,

The 20,000 Jin soldiers of the Bohai tribe rushed towards the north like a tide, mixed with thirty nesting cars in the crowd, following the team slowly moving forward.
