The noisy Song army camp on the south bank quieted down, tens of thousands of troops fled, and less than 2,000 people were willing to stay and fight side by side with the Jingsui battalion. According to the imperial military system, those who fled from the forbidden army and did not die could be reassigned to other military status. Xu Wei did not refuse, and temporarily organized these more than 1,700 people into two capitals, handed them over to Han Shizhong and Sun Zheng, and merged them into the Jingsui camp for unified command. At this time, his troops reached more than 7,000 people, but he did not dare to be blindly confident. Although he repelled an attack just now, it is certain that this is just a stone throwing to ask for directions, and the Jin army will definitely attack in person later.

The Jingsui battalion was poorly equipped and had a limited range of bows and arrows, and he had hoped that the fleeing officers and soldiers would leave him something. But Zhang Qing reported that when the officers and soldiers fled, they took almost all the weapons and equipment with them. In the camp, they found only a large number of feathered arrows and some of the grain and grass that had not been carried in time, which the brothers had snatched out of the fire. A Jiupin military attache of the Jingsui Battalion, who had just joined, reported to Xu Wei that the defenders had all kinds of strong bows and crossbows, and there were even more than 100 "divine arm bows". However, military law stipulates that the loss of weapons is punishable by heavy punishment, and as for sharp weapons such as the "Divine Arm Bow", even if one is lost, the person involved will be beheaded, and the comrades and commanders will sit together. Although the Israeli officers and troops were scattered, they did not dare to abandon their equipment.

Xu Wei hated it so much, you will run away, and you won't even leave a single hair! However, then a situation reported by this Jiupin military attache caught his attention, there were more than ten heavy artillery pieces in the battalion! When he heard the word "heavy artillery", Xu Wei was overjoyed. But immediately calmed down, he knew that although the equipment of "artillery" had been equipped with the army in the Song Dynasty, this "artillery" and the artillery of later generations were fundamentally two different concepts.

Sure enough, when the military attache led them to the "heavy artillery", Xu Wei could only smile bitterly, what he saw was a mountain of wooden poles. It turned out that the so-called "heavy artillery" was nothing more than a catapult that had not yet been assembled. The military attache explained that this batch of equipment was originally to be transported to Junzhou City on the north shore to fire thunderbolts, tribulus fireballs, and other objects.

"Thunderbolt?" Xu Wei listened to the names that were more majestic than the other, and couldn't help asking.

The military attache didn't say much, walked to a large tent next to him, and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain. Xu Wei and the others stepped forward to take a look, only to see a large number of wooden boxes neatly stacked in this big tent. The ground was covered with thick hay, apparently to protect it from moisture. The soldier took out a box and pried open the lid to take a look. I saw that the box was also covered with hay, and on it were placed a spherical object as large as a copper basin, with ropes tied to both ends, and I don't know what it was. Xu Wei personally proposed one, weighing about ten catties, and it seemed to be wrapped in paper on the surface.

"This is the thunderbolt, when the enemy is approaching, the two of them carry the rope together, ignite the fire line and throw it into the enemy group, its sound is like thunder, the ghosts and gods are shocked!" As soon as the military attache explained, the officers of the Jingsui Battalion looked suspicious, just this thing? Still thunderous? Shocked by ghosts?

Xu Wei probably guessed something, this must be a fire weapon. However, the formula of Huoyao was not mature in the Song Dynasty, and compared with the zha medicine of later generations, the explosive power was not strong, and it was mostly used to deter the enemy.

"This cannon contains arsenic, powder, yellow pill and other substances, and after it explodes, poisonous smoke overflows." Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the military attache took out a thunderbolt cannon after explaining, as if he wanted to demonstrate it himself.

Before he could light the fuse, a soldier rushed in, and before anyone arrived, he said: "Report!" The gold thief is coming! ”

Xu Wei was taken aback, and immediately ordered: "Cheng Fang, you take your subordinates to move these wooden boxes under the city wall!" "Anyway, pull your legs and run away! Several officers followed! Running to the city, Yang Yan greeted him, pointed to the north bank and said in a deep voice: "Brother Jiu, the Jurchens are on it personally!" What a big formation! ”

Looking at the wall, Xu Wei couldn't help but look drastic! I saw a giant dragon winding and circling! The forward of the Jin army has crossed the Phoenix Mountain in the river, and the rear is still flowing out from the Da Pi Mountain. It may have learned the lesson that the Song army surrendered in too dense formation, pushing each other and causing many people to fall into the river, this time there were less than 20 people in a platoon of the enemy, and the formation was neat and the pace was the same. Oddly enough, they are not in a hurry to run, but steadily advance.

"It's broken! Shield! Zhang Qing slammed his palm on the wall and shouted.

At this time, the Jin Army forward was only a hundred steps away from the bridge deck obstacle. I saw that every soldier was holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other! Things are not good, the Jingsui camp is in danger, relying on bows and arrows! Now that the Jin army is coming with shields, it is difficult for the archers in the city to pose a threat to them!

Moment! The sonorous sound is great! The Jin army struck the shield with the blade of the sword, and shouted the trumpet neatly in their mouths, and the momentum was monstrous! It even overwhelmed the roaring Yellow River under the bridge! The soldiers in the city all changed color, Xu Wei's cheeks were agitated, he took a sip, turned his head and said to Yang Yan: "You take the heavy armor infantry of the headquarters to block the front, just in case!" ”

Yang Yan's expression was hideous, and he was about to go down to the city with his fists clenched. Xu Wei grabbed it and said solemnly: "Remember, without a military order, even if you are the only one left, you must not take half a step back!" ”

Yang Yan gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Brother Jiu, don't worry! Either the gold thief withdraws his troops today, or he collects the corpse for me! With that, he strode down to the city!

Xu Wei calmed his mind and said to Sun Zheng again: "Brother Sun, you take the officers and soldiers of your headquarters, list them behind my heavy infantry, and attack them with thunderbolts and firetle!" "The reason why more than 1,700 forbidden troops were handed over to Han Shizhong and Sun Zheng was that the two of them were born as officers of the forbidden army and were familiar with the situation.

When Han Shizhong next to him heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly stopped: "Never!" Thunderbolts are available, but when the thistles are released, won't they burn the bridge? ”

Xu Wei's eyes shone brightly, and he sneered: "This Han system can rest assured!" Naturally, someone put out the fire! ”

Han Shizhong was suspicious for a while, and he understood it at any time, and said in surprise: "Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Suddenly, the sonorous sound stopped, and the two looked down. The soldiers of the forward unit of the Jin Army all raised their shields above their heads, connecting them front and back, as if they were on a smooth road! If you shoot head-on, it will be difficult to work, Han Shizhong is a person who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and immediately suggested: "Deputy Envoy Xu!" The golden thief protects his head with a shield, and he can send his archers to live on both wings of the wall and shoot at his side! ”

Xu Wei obeyed his words, and immediately ordered the archers to disperse, line up on both sides of the city wall, and shoot at will. Anyway, the arrows that Zhang Qing found in the camp were piled up, and he didn't have to worry about having a bow or no arrows! In an instant, the bowstring rattled, and the arrows were like locusts!

But the Jin soldiers used shields to protect the top of their heads, and the front and back were connected to protect their torsos. The arrows rained down, and only the sound of "grabbing" was heard endlessly, just like the rain hitting the roof tiles, only hearing its sound, but not seeing its effect. Even though they were shot in the waist and legs, the tenacious Jurchen soldiers actually advanced in pain and did not mess up at all. Occasionally, several enemy soldiers with several arrows fell to the ground, and their companions behind him stepped on his corpse and continued to advance!

Not good! The Jin army has reached the bridge deck obstacle before! The soldiers in the front row slashed hard, cutting off the tip of the wooden gun and the protrusion of the grain cart, and began to dismantle the obstacle under the protection of the shield!
