August 9th, evening.

The 200,000 cavalry of the Daxia imperial guards appeared on the border of the Kyoto province of the Great Zhou Dynasty, causing an uproar.

The Battle of Great Jin is the prelude to the entire Central Plains War, the pinnacle of the Chinese War, and the key battle to determine the Chinese overlord, and has attracted attention from all parties.

Not only players in China, but also players around the world are paying attention to this war.

Focusing on the Great Jin Dynasty, Daxia fought wits and courage with the Six-Nation Alliance, staged a wonderful epic battle for players. As of August 8, the Six-Nation Alliance led by the Great Zhou still had the upper hand.

Kyoto is still standing, but the Jin Dynasty is about to die.

Although the Silver Hand was rejoicing, cheering for such hard-won victory, even the blue badge quietly breathed a sigh of relief, not hoping that Daxia would really unify China.

But in just one day, the war situation took a sharp turn, which was shocking.

While panicked, Di Chen asked the border to prepare for war, he ordered Wu Qi to return to the army to rescue, while making other ideas to see if he could find reinforcements and guard Handan City.

That night, Handan couldn't sleep.

…………

The next morning, the Daxia imperial guards who were raising their energy officially entered the Dazhou territory.

The first target of attack was Pingshancheng, a grain and grass transfer station set up by the Great Zhou border. The grain and grass supplies transported to the front line of the Great Zhou Dynasty were basically transferred in the city and were the general logistics base of the Great Zhou army.

Since it is a logistics base, it is naturally impossible to have no troops stationed.

In fact, even at the most stalemate of the front line, Pingshan City was stationed with 50,000 troops, and now there is a whole army of troops guarding Pingshan City.

The Daxia Imperial Army is a cavalry of all kinds. Can it break through this city?

At least the guards of the Great Zhou army thought it was impossible.

Although Pingshan City is not a big city and does not have a moat, it has a five-meter-high city wall. The Daxia imperial guards have no infantry and no siege equipment. How can they break into the city?

Even if the Daxia imperial guards wanted to imitate the white terrifying psychological warfare of the Mongolian cavalry, they were too hasty.

To put it bluntly, there are more than 80% of the food and supplies of the Great Zhou army in Pingshan City. The safety of the city is directly related to the success or failure of the Battle of the Great Jin Dynasty, and life and death.

Even if the Daxia imperial guards massacred the people in the surrounding villages, Pingshancheng would not be able to surrender voluntarily.

Di Chen was panicking, not because he was afraid that Pingshan City could not be defended, but because the Great Xia imperial guards were worried that Pingshan City would go directly to the hinterland of Kyoto Province and headed straight for Handan City.

In that case, the troops in Pingshan City would not dare to go out of the city to intercept them. If one is not good, he would fall into a trap.

But the next actions of the Daxia Imperial Army once again overturned the judgment of Di Chen and others. I don’t know why, early in the morning, the Daxia Imperial Army surrounded Pingshan City on the north and south and west sides, leaving a way to live on the east side.

"What, really, are you going to attack the city? Are you too confident?"

The guard of Pingshan City stood on the top of the city, looking at the Daxia Imperial Guard with a prosperous army outside the city, a hint of uneasiness arose in his heart for the first time. The Daxia Imperial Guard is not a fool, and it is impossible to waste precious time and do something unsure.

"Is there any secret weapon?"

He really guessed it.

After the Daxia imperial guards lined up outside the city, there was movement in the rear of each legion. The iron armored beast cavalry brigade directly under the legion was the Iron Armored Beast Cavalry Brigade.

The Iron Armored Beast Base in Qiongzhou has long been on the right track and has formed a scale. As the trump card of the entire army, the Imperial Guard is naturally the first army to be equipped with the Iron Armored Beast Cavalry Brigade.

There are two purposes for doing this.

First, as a super heavy cavalry, he is committed to key battles and gnaws the hardest bones.

The second is to serve as the baggage transport team of the entire army.

Compared with war horses, the iron-armored beast may be worse in terms of endurance, but in terms of weight bearing, it is definitely a street where war horses are. Its tall body shape can even be used as a large equipment.

The secret weapon of the Imperial Guards to attack Pingshan City was loaded by the brigade.

Under the command of the engineers, the soldiers removed strange-shaped parts from the iron-armored beasts, and then combined them into a giant bed crossbow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's a giant.

The three-bow Eight-ox bed crossbow is the largest among the crossbow machines, but the giant bed crossbow is actually three times the size of the three-bow Eight-ox bed crossbow, so how can it not be shocked?

What's more clever is that with the study of the Mohist school, this set of equipment can be broken down into hundreds of parts. After being disassembled, it can be easily transported with an iron armored beast.

Only beasts like the iron armored beast can move for a long time. You should know that in order to increase the explosive power of the bed crossbow, more than half of the components are steel and unconventional wood.

Because it was too heavy, each legion only carried one.

Soon, the assembled giant bed crossbow was pushed to the front line and aimed at the three city gates.

"What kind of monster is that?"

The Zhou army on the top of the city had never seen such a huge crossbow machine. They couldn't help but point fingers. Although they could not judge the lethality of the crossbow machine, just the crossbow arrows with the thickness of their arms were enough to make people's scalp numb.

The officers were calm and scolded, "What are you afraid of? No matter how powerful that thing is, there is only one. Can it still shoot through the city wall? If that is the case, the daylily will be cold."

After hearing this, the soldiers realized that they were right.

Indeed, whenever I siege the city, I prepared hundreds of siege equipment. I have never heard of a city being able to capture just a strange crossbow.

It's not wrong to think so.

But is it really that simple?

Just as the defenders on the top of the city were talking, the giant crossbow had already advanced to a distance of 600 meters from the city gate under the cover of the cavalry, and then stopped.

At this distance, it is difficult for the city to pose a threat to the Imperial Guards except for the archer shooting.

As ace troops, the light cavalry in the Daxia Imperial Army is equipped with shields. When they rise above their heads, the scattered arrows shot out from the city are like tickling and are difficult to make up for.

While speaking, the giant bed crossbow was already in place.

"aim!"

Compared with the three-bow and eight-ox bed crossbow, the aiming system of the giant bed crossbow has also been greatly improved. Under the command of experienced operators, the accuracy can be controlled within one meter.

This is very powerful and can carry out accurate strikes.

"emission!"

With a command, the crossbow rumbled and made a roar. It turned out that in order to obtain enough kinetic energy, its transmission device was actually equipped with a small steam engine.

Then, with a "swoosh", the sharp arrow as thick as an arm broke through the air, drew an arc in the air, hitting the city gate accurately like a missile, and then drilled into the wooden city gate like a drill bit, revealing only half of it.
