Chapter 661

Although they don't produce that kind of deafening explosion, the vibration caused by these huge stones hitting the ground makes everyone's hearts seem to have a heavy cushion of stone slab trembling, so depressed that they are almost out of breath.

Even the soldiers of the garrison on the dock who were anxiously waiting to board the double-decker raft and leave, their expressions were full of happiness for the rest of their lives.

Their courage and courage have been gradually lost as their physical strength and energy have passed through in the seemingly never-ending roar of earth-shattering thunder these days.

The Western Xia defenders in the city had to retreat to the east side of the ancient city, because only in this area could they not be threatened by the Song army's long-range stone throwers.

The stone thrower seemed to be working tirelessly, and every now and then the pole that was raised high and threw the boulder into the sky flashed into the eyes of the Western Xia soldiers.

This situation lasted until dusk, and there was hardly a single intact house near the center of the ancient city of Wuyan.

At this time, Ah Chang, who was already full of wine and food, led five thousand Xixia soldiers who were determined to die, and the troops were divided into two roads, and quietly followed the inner side of the north and south walls of the ancient city of Wuyan, bypassing the attack range of the Yuanyou stone-throwing machine, and then entered the dead corner of the Yuanyou stone-throwing machine.

Then cautiously, under the cover of the dim sky, he began to move forward, until he reached a place about a hundred steps away from the wall of the Song army outside the city, and then he stopped, hid in those houses, at the base of the wall, silently closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, waiting for the boundless night to come.

#####

"The northern camp and the southern camp are also moving in the direction of the city wall, and now, they are not more than eighty zhang away from the city wall."

"In other words, they only need one charge, thirty breaths, and they can storm under the city walls......"

"Very good, now, it depends on what kind of reaction those Tangut people can make, whether they will attack from three sides like the previous air raids, or concentrate superior forces to attack head-on in the direction of the catapult, to be honest, this is very exciting." Wang Yang looked at the raging fire in the distance, and his face was full of calm smiles.

Beside him, the armor was full of resentment expression, looking forward to the return of Lang Lang in the middle of the night, staring at the ancient city of Wuyan without any movement in front of him.

In the open space less than ten feet away from the city wall in front of the western camp, there were many burning torches, and from time to time, a burning rocket would shoot into the night sky, cut through the light band, and finally fell to the ruins of the city.

These were naturally used as a warning to prevent the night attack of the Western Xia soldiers and horses, as long as they broke through to the range of the torches, or were illuminated by rockets, they could send an alarm to the Song soldiers who had already been fully prepared in advance and prepare for battle.

The Yuanyou stone thrower was still working, and the huge stones thrown from time to time smashed into the ancient city of Wuyan, making a dull sound of objects colliding.

In the darkness of the city, which the Song army could not detect at night, the Western Xia soldiers wearing fine iron armor had quietly arrived at the range where the fire could not be reflected, and Ah Chang was standing at the front of the team at this moment.

The sword at his waist was slowly unsheathed, and then with his signal, five thousand fierce dead soldiers quietly drew their swords out of their sheaths, took the simple shields, and began to silently and quietly press towards the place where the fire was reflected.

Another fire arrow slashed across the night sky and fell, this time, the fire arrow did not fall to the ground, but made a sound of grabbing the wood, and shot into the wooden shield in the hands of the Xixia soldiers.

However, it was soon pulled out and trampled out by the vigilant Xixia soldiers, and after the fourth rocket fell, and then extinguished in the shaking, it finally aroused the vigilance of the scouts on the Song army's guard tower.

With the sound of the shout, more than fifty fire arrows were thrown into the sky and fell towards the ground, and this time, more people saw the shadows of those ghosts and ghosts in the darkness, and the cold light reflected by the weapons in their hands in the firelight.

"Enemy attack, drumming!" At this moment, the scout no longer hesitated, and rang the bronze bell in the sentry tower, and soon, the war drums suddenly sounded, and the originally quiet Song army's western camp suddenly became noisy.

Before, Wang Yang, who was already tired of standing and simply sat on the pony and leaned against the big tree to pretend to sleep, opened his eyes. It's finally here......

The Tangut people continued to move forward without saying a word, although the crossbow arrows of the Song army could cause damage to them, but, thanks to the fine and heavy iron armor, most of the crossbow arrows would be bounced away, and only a few crossbow arrows would pass through the armor and stab their bodies, but they could only cut through the surface of the body.

And when more and more, dense ants like ants appeared in the ruins erected near the city wall, the faces of the Tangut people, who looked hideous because of excitement and bloodlust, were revealed in front of the Song soldiers.

It's just that at this moment, I heard the drumming of the Song army camp, and then I heard the sound of a crowd shouting trumpets in unison, and then I heard a creaking sound, and countless stones, weighing from one or two catties to seven or eight catties, floated up from behind the wall, and then smashed down towards those Xixia soldiers......

One or two catties of stones may only be able to smash those Xixia soldiers wearing fine heavy armor and shields, but seven or eight pounds of stones will directly make the shields in the hands of Xixia soldiers become fragments, and even their arms will be broken.

There are even a few unlucky ghosts who will be directly hit in the head by a stone, and they will fall to the ground directly and their life and death are unknown. However, more Western Xia soldiers rushed towards it even more frantically, and began to roar and roar, as if to increase their threat to intimidate the enemy on the other side.

"The first team of crossbowmen is on the wall!" With the sound of the command, the first team of 1,000 crossbowmen climbed up the simple wooden ladder behind the wall and began to dive down.

In front of the wall, there are two full columns of spearmen and a column of sword and shield men are waiting in battle, facing those Western Xia soldiers who pounced like wolves and tigers, the spears are like forests, gradually flattened, and the sharp spear tips are pointed directly at those Western Xia soldiers.

Collisions, roars, screams, wails, swords into flesh, weapons slamming, spear shafts broken, all kinds of sounds mixed together, and those stone-throwing carts continued to pour stone rain frantically towards the Xixia soldiers who were rushing wildly behind.

The crossbowmen suppressed the tension in their hearts, took aim in the shortest amount of time, pulled the trigger, and then left their positions without stopping, allowing the crossbowmen who had been waiting impatiently behind them to take up their positions and continue shooting.

To the east of the ancient city of Wuyan, the lights were bright, and the soldiers were still urging their comrades in front of them to move faster, so that they could also board the raft.
