Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

As soon as the Nanyang offensive and defensive battle started, it became extremely bloody.

Tens of thousands of Han troops were divided into hundreds of units.

The sparse formation makes the number of soldiers appear larger and the lineup larger.

Marshal Liu Fu of the Han Army, wearing a golden helmet and armor, rode his horse back and forth in front of the formation, and while running, he said loudly in northern Chinese,

"Kill all the men in Nanyang City, burn all the houses in Nanyang City, and never seal the sword. The women in the city, gold, silk, food, and grass are all owned by you, and the crown prince will not take any money."

The Han army responded to Liu Fu's agitation with a wolf-like howl.

Every time Liu Fu shouted, they let out a long howl.

"Woo-ah-"

The howling sound was mixed with the Mongolian war drums, like a gust of wind rushing towards the head of Nanyang city and the mountains around Nanyang, echoing continuously among the mountains.

"Woo-ah-"

Like tens of thousands of hungry wolves on the prairie, seeing the full moon, they uttered bloodthirsty and cruel cries.

Gao Da stood on the gate of the northern city, pressed his hands against the cold city wall, and shouted sharply,

"The Meng Tartars are about to attack, everyone is on alert. This time, let's show these Tartars what a real Song man is!"

"Ugh-"

With the frantic howl, more than ten thousand Han cavalry swept across the field like the wind, and ran towards the city wall.

On the top of the city, bed crossbows, stepping crossbows, waist crossbows, black lacquer crossbows, jumping stirrup crossbows, all kinds of extremely powerful crossbows and arrows are in unison.

Especially the bed crossbow, which is one foot long and two feet long, like a big iron gun, can shoot 500 meters away.

As the crossbowmen smashed the engine with a hammer, the crossbow arrows fell into the ranks of the Han cavalry with piercing whistles.

The bed crossbow can shoot through three or five soldiers in a row before it exhausts its potential energy.

Some crossbow bolts can literally tear apart a Han cavalryman.

This wave of crossbow arrows killed hundreds of Han cavalry.

Regardless of the cavalry of the Han army, the golden drum around them was in a hurry, and the horses on the left and right were running together. Whoever dared to stop and not be trampled to death by the horses was also ordered by the leader of the supervising team.

They put their heads behind the horse's neck, raised their buttocks from the saddle, and beat the horse's back with the bowstring in their hands.

The horse that was pushed to the limit also exerted its speed to the limit, forgetting the fear, forgetting the death that is close at hand, moving forward, constantly moving forward.

In a blink of an eye, these Han cavalry rushed to more than [-] steps below the city under the net of death woven by crossbow arrows.

The leading cavalry of the Han army suddenly shook the reins, and the horses turned, always galloping in parallel at a distance of only thirty steps from the city wall.

At the same time, these Han army cavalry drew their bows and released arrows while their horses galloped wildly.

There was a thin wind sound in the sky, and a mass of black raindrops hit the city.

"All lay down on the back of the city and raised their shields to protect their heads."

Gundam roared loudly.

The black feathered arrows fell on the long bricks at the top of the city, splashing blue sparks one after another.

Several personal guards rushed forward desperately, protecting Gundam's body with a large shield.

Feathered arrows hit the shield with a crackling sound.

Gundam took over a huge shield to protect himself, and peeked around, and found that many soldiers fell under the rain of arrows one after another, and the warm blood merged into a stream in the cracks between the bricks and stones of the city wall.

Through the gaps in the shield, Gundam saw the cavalry of the Han army galloping one after another, turning at a right angle under the city, drawing their bows and releasing arrows the moment the horses turned around.

This is the technique of galloping and shooting that the Mongols were able to sweep across the world.

The attack of these Han army cavalry was not to break the city, but to establish prestige.

Gritting his teeth, Gundam shouted again,
"Use the infantry crossbow to shoot at these dog traitors."

Under the protection of the shieldmen, the archers of the Song soldiers began to use their infantry and strong crossbows, and launched a confrontation with the cavalry of the Han army.

"Whoosh!"

An infantry crossbow hit the front leg of a Han cavalry horse.

The war horse fell down with a long hiss.The cavalry of the Han army who fell off their horses were also trampled into muddy meat by the subsequent cavalry.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

With the power of hatred, the infantry crossbows shot down the cavalry of the Han army one by one.

In front of the Han army's formation, the sound of drums was like thunder, continuous and continuous.

The cavalry of the Han army rushed to the city one after another, and used the galloping method to fight the crossbows of the Song army.

One after another crossbow arrows were shot down, sending the Han cavalry to hell.

Wave after wave of arrow rain fell on the top of the city, sending the Song army defending the city to heaven.

On the gate of the city where Gao Da stood, no matter the roof or the wall, they were all nailed with black feather arrows, just like a black hedgehog.

Holding a big shield, Gundam stepped out of the city gate, squatting and walking around the nearly kilometer-long city wall, encouraging the low-level generals to make the crossbowmen fight back stronger.

In the rain of arrows, one after another a large flag embroidered with the character Gao was raised above the city. Even though it was torn to pieces by the rain of arrows, it was still steadily floating in the air.

The horns of the Song Army also kept echoing on the city, inspiring the morale of all the Song Army.

This wave of crossbow shooting lasted at least half an hour.

Both sides suffered casualties.

However, the Song army had the city wall as a cover, and the casualties were far less than the cavalry of the Han army who were galloping.

Next, the main force of the siege was replaced by Han infantry.

In order to break through Nanyang City in the fastest time, and then take Jingxiang directly, Guiyou ordered several Han troops of 5000 people to attack in turn, with no less than [-] people in each attack.

Dozens of big drums nearly one person tall were erected in front of the Han army formation. The bare-chested Han army drummers constantly adjusted their rhythm according to the command flags around them, and the drums sounded fast and slow.

The Han army in charge of the charge took the team as a unit, with 100 people in each team, stepping on the drums, and rushed over like locusts.

The crossbowmen on the top of the city once again found a chance to show their power.

They used more than a dozen crossbows alternately, weaving a net of crossbows at a distance of as far as [-] steps and as close as a hundred steps.

But no matter how powerful the crossbow arrows are, they can't stop the Han army from charging.

In a blink of an eye, the Han army rushed fifty steps below the city.

As the sound of the drums in the rear changed, more than a dozen groups of Han troops suddenly erected huge shields with a few soldiers to form a simple shield. The other Han troops stood behind the giant shields, also pulled up Mongolian horn bows, and shot towards the city. .

The two sides once again launched a bow and crossbow battle.

The Song army was condescending, and the crossbowmen shot steadily, accurately and ruthlessly.The archers of the Han army only accounted for a fast word.Almost continuously without a break.

If the Song army shoots one crossbow, the Han army archers can shoot three arrows.

Even so, the sacrifice of the archers of the Han army was still far greater than that of the Song army.

Even some giant shields that blocked the crossbow arrows were shot to pieces by the Song army.The unshielded Han army archers suffered heavy casualties.

The bodies of the dead soon piled up below the city.

Some clever archers of the Han army quickly piled up the corpses of their companions as a cover, and then hid behind the cover made of flesh and blood and continued to shoot feather arrows towards the city.

Dozens of Han army infantry rushed up. Holding a huge shield the size of a door panel, they jumped over the archers and sneaked to the base of the city wall.Some took out chisels and pointed hammers, and began to dig into the walls.

Because Nanyang City was once captured by the Mongolian army, the city walls were demolished a lot.The current city wall has been urgently repaired in the past few months, and its strength is not as strong as the old city wall.

However, the Song Army's defense skills were also beyond the imagination of these Northern Han soldiers.

Gundam glared angrily, commanding the soldiers at the top of the city to push down hundreds of logs.

The log full of nails fell down and hit the giant shield with the sound of wind. After smashing the giant shield to pieces, the momentum was still very strong, and it smashed the shield hand and archer together into meatloaf.

The surviving chisel uttered a cry and began to flee to the rear.Then they were shot to death one by one by the supervisor team in the rear.

More Han troops rushed up, some added to the archer team, and some added to the chisel team.

Some simply rushed up with a simple ladder, trying to attack up and down, and took the city promised to them by Guiyou in one fell swoop.
