Chapter 51 is fierce, when the siege is in progress
The drizzle that had been drizzling for days finally dissipated.
A few miles away from Xingyuan Mansion, the tents of the company camp were empty, and they were all gathered on the grassland, turning into a long array.
Under the strong sun, these elite soldiers were as straight as loose and unwavering, and there was a bloodthirsty light in their eyes, obviously the so-called bandit soldiers and stragglers that Jiang Li and the others had seen before were just an illusion they deliberately created, in order to confuse the past.
Riding on top of Bai Lin, Lie Wulin replied that he looked at the soldiers who had already gathered together and were holding troops in Dutch armor, and thought to himself: "Just these people can complete the marshal task?" Previously, he thought that it would be easy to break through the Xingyuan Mansion, but he didn't expect that he wanted to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop a few days ago, but he didn't expect that the plan was ruined by a blow from behind the four loyal and brave generals, so that the success was lost.
Although he was confident that he would be able to break through the Xingyuan Mansion with these soldiers and horses, he couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought of the possible casualties.
"Anyway, let's do the mission first. An Nai held his heart in his heart, and replied with a loud voice: "Everyone, you have been fighting with me for many years, and you are a brave man of my Jin Dynasty. The Mongol Tatars rebelled and rebelled, invaded our borders and destroyed my homeland, and they were mortal enemies who did not share the sky. Today, he even joined forces with this southern barbarian, wanting to destroy me. In this case, how can we sit idly by and wait for death? Today, you will follow me to break through the Xingyuan Mansion and seize Sichuan and Shu!"
For a while, thousands of soldiers immediately raised their spears and broadswords in their hands, and shouted loudly.
"Break through Xingyuan Mansion and capture Sichuan and Shu!"
"Break through Xingyuan Mansion and capture Sichuan and Shu!"
"Break through Xingyuan Mansion and capture Sichuan and Shu!"
Three shouts in a row shattered the passing clouds, and a group of people on the ground rode on their horses, waving their whips to make the war horses under their crotches rejuvenate, and their hooves moved towards the distance. There were also soldiers driving oxen and donkeys, pulling up the powerful crossbows that had been transported long ago, and the heavy ruts left deep marks on the grass, and the solid steel used for fixation was black and shiny, which was a real weapon of war.
The blue sky is endless, and the vastness is vast, and this exciting scene is regarded as an ordinary scene.
Historically, this has happened too many times!
........................
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock knock knock!"
The dull sound of the drums was like thunder, and each blow was like a dry thunder, and the bombers were covered and their hair stood up, and they all looked at the soldiers on the top of the city wall.
"Coming, they're coming!"
A person stumbled in from the city gate, although he fell to the ground because he was too nervous, but he still struggled to stand up despite the bruises on his body, and along the way, he didn't care about others and broke into the mansion, and said to Xiao Yi, who was reading the military book at the desk.
Xiao Yi dropped the book and stood up suddenly: "Sure enough, did they really start?"
He had expected that the other party would attack directly after the rain stopped, but it was only at this moment that he realized that he did not want to be as calm as he had imagined before, and even if he pretended to read the Analects at this time, he still could not be as calm as the book said.
"Lord Xiao, since the other party is here, please allow the last general to mobilize troops and horses to defend the city with all his might. Otherwise, if the other party breaks into the city, I am afraid that the people of the city will suffer. Jiang Li said immediately.
"Even so, then I'll go. Xiao Yi immediately motioned to the attendant next to him to take out the drape and let his wife help put it on. Seeing that Jiang Li wanted to persuade, he smiled and said, "At this point in crisis, I, as a Zhizhou, should naturally be with the city." If you can't do this, how can you be called a parent official?" motioning for Jiang Li and the others to be in front, he also followed him to the city wall.
In the distance, dozens of bed crossbows have long been erected, three strong bows are inserted on the crossbow body opposite each other, fixed with strong hemp rope between each other, in the central groove of the crossbow body, there is a crossbow arrow with the thickness of a child's arm, it is three feet five inches long, more than five inches thick, the front head is like a long cone shape is made of fine iron, the tail is made of iron leaves, and there are more than a dozen wrestlers standing next to it, with a man with a big waist and a thick waist, and it is a crossbowman who is specially trained to control the powerful three-bow bed crossbow.
At this moment, under the bright sun, they are like fierce beasts in front of them, staring at the rich and peaceful city in front of them.
Staring at the heavy sword on the city wall in the distance, Lie Wulin replied that the wound on his body ached faintly.
It was an injury I had suffered a few days ago, and although it has healed at the moment, it still hurts faintly on a rainy day.
He thought about the scene at that time, but he rarely had the slightest resentment, whether it was right or wrong in the war, only life and death, this would be understood by anyone, not to mention that at this moment, it was more important to open a passage for his country, so he waved the spear in his hand and shouted: "Release the arrow!"
With a roar, the man next to him immediately raised the heavy hammer in his hand and smashed it on the fine iron trigger behind the crossbow of the three-bow bed.
With a sharp and piercing whistling sound, dozens of crossbow arrows flew in the sky, and the whole wall was inserted into the city wall with a full "boom", and the tail trembled, only the tail was exposed.
Its power can even make the soldiers attached to the city wall feel a shake and almost fall.
It is still more than a mile away from Xingyuan Mansion, but these three-bow bed crossbows still have the power to penetrate the city wall, which really makes people afraid of what will happen if they are inserted into people's bodies? Fortunately, the guards in the city had already expected it, and ordered all the soldiers to hide behind the city wall, but there were no casualties.
However, when Jiang Li saw this thing, his face darkened, and he said secretly: "It's a stepping arrow!"
After many battles, he was already familiar with warfare, and naturally knew that these heavy arrows inserted in the walls were not commonly used to kill and injure opponents, but were used as a weapon for siege. Because these heavy arrows were deeply inserted into the wall, leaving only half of the thick shafts and tail feathers exposed outside the walls, just like the rows of stairs that extended upwards, it was completely possible for the besieging soldiers to climb the huge arrows stuck in the walls and capture the city under their own cover.
Therefore, the heavy arrows used in these three-bow bed crossbows are also called "stepping arrows"!
With such a powerful weapon, it is obvious that the fierce Wulin answer is also really moving, and it is bound to completely capture Xingyuan Mansion in one go. Sure enough, just as he expected, hundreds of people immediately rushed out in the distance, one by one twenty or thirty people formed a team, wearing iron armor and holding shields, and their mouths kept roaring like wild beasts, rushing towards this side.
The war is officially on!
