Chapter 646 Isn't this the time to take advantage of the situation? (first update)
Chapter 655

The speed of the heavy trebuchet was not fast, it took almost half an hour to shoot once.However, the shock caused by the 150-jin stone it used, as well as the devastating damage it caused when it landed, has become a nightmare in the eyes of all Xixia defenders in the ancient city of Wuyan today.

Before the second round of volley came, Fei Ting Darong was protected by those loyal personal guards and hurriedly left the city wall and retreated towards the rear.

And he stumbled under the protection of his personal guards, and saw the dilapidated city wall with a big gap, and when he got to the bottom of the city wall, he saw three big pits on the ground that were smashed by the boulders thrown into the city. .

There was also a large pit, less than two feet away from the city wall, which happened to hit several Xixia soldiers who were resting, and directly smashed their torsos into the ground, leaving only broken hands and stumps that were meaningless. convulsions.

Just when the personal guards retreated Fei Tingdarong and other military leaders to about [-] paces away from the west city wall, the second round of attacks had already reached the sky above the ancient city of Wuyan.

Fei Tingdarong once again saw that irregular boulder crossed a long distance, fell into the sky, and fell down hard.

This time, it was still a huge boulder that fell on the city wall, and directly opened a hideous gap on the wall of the ancient city of Wuyan, which was completely made of mud.

Of the other three pieces, it seemed that one fell outside the city, and the other two fell directly into the city near the city wall, causing a bloody storm.

"Tell the men below the city to retreat a hundred steps. Hurry, go and give the order!" Fei Tingdarong, with a livid face, casually grabbed the lapel of a soldier and shouted loudly.

Seeing the soldier leading the order and rushing desperately towards the west of the city, Fei Ting Darong seemed relieved.Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked around. Two of the main generals around him were killed in the long-range attack of the Song army just now.

And one of them is the niece and son-in-law whom he relies on very much, Po Chao Guangzan.When I think about my beloved niece, she has been married for less than a year and was pregnant just two months ago.

But now, it's an eternity between heaven and man, and I don't know if that poor niece can withstand such a blow.

"The trebuchet is a new type of trebuchet from the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, it would be impossible to throw such a huge stone over such a long distance." A general roared hoarsely.

"My lord, what should we do now? Why don't we attack? Instead of being pushed forward by Song Gou, it's better to take advantage of the strength of the sons and go out." Another general walked to Fei Ting Darong's side suggested.

"Get out? How to get out? After several days of harassment, don't you know how much combat power you can still have?" Fei Ting Darong glared at the general viciously, and his voice was filled with laughter. It is helpless.

"The old man's order is that the soldiers guarding the city wall of the west city are not allowed to take half a step back, and those who are afraid of the enemy will be killed! Let the men under the city wall take two hundred steps back, pay attention to the situation of the Song army, and report to me immediately if there is any change."

As Fei Tingdarong's order was delivered, the five thousand Xixia soldiers who had already started to panic quickly retreated towards the city.

And those Xixia soldiers on the city wall could only curse the eighteen generations of Fei Ting Darong, the old man's ancestors, with a feeling of being overwhelmed. Many women had intimate contact.

And when those chaotic rocks fell towards the city wall of Wuyan Ancient City again, the Xixia soldiers near the city gate had already scattered like birds and beasts, hiding in the city walls on both sides.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yang nodded with satisfaction. Looking at these heavy-duty trebuchets that continued to work, Wang Yang felt extremely proud inside.

This thing is definitely one of the most powerful long-range weapons before the gunpowder weapon was developed. Compared with the bed crossbow that pays more attention to accuracy, the trebuchet is more destructive.

It's a pity that there are not enough masons and not enough time to cut the stones into round shapes, otherwise the round stone bullets will easily bounce off the ground, and the destructiveness will become even greater .

But now, it is enough to just throw these irregular boulders.

"The No. [-] machine is like the No. [-] machine, aiming at the gate of Wuyan Ancient City." After observing for a while, Wang Yang issued the latest instructions.Soon, the two catapults adjusted the small angle, and then began to throw the heavy stones away.

An hour later, amid the cheers of the army outside the west gate of the Song Dynasty, the dilapidated gate tower of Wuyan Ancient City could not bear the damage and finally collapsed completely.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yang clenched his hands into fists excitedly. "Okay, stop the attack and let the trebuchet move."

"Don't continue to fuck them anymore?" Wu Qilang looked at Wang Yang in a daze. Isn't this the time to take advantage of the situation and continue to make trouble?

"When we destroy all three city gates, the cavalry that the Xixia people rely on will be completely useless. At that time, our bed crossbows and trebuchets can continue to move forward. As long as these If heavy long-range weapons can be transported to the ancient city of Wuyan, at that time, almost the entire ancient city of Wuyan will be within the range of these weapons.

"At that time, if the Xixia people want to retreat, they will have to jump into the river. If they want to attack, the range of tens of thousands of Yuanyou crossbows is far beyond their bows and arrows."

Hearing Wang Yang's words, Wu Qilang and the several generals of the Song Army beside him had no other way to describe their mood at the moment other than giving their thumbs up to show their admiration.

But you really have to admit that what Mr. Wang said is really reasonable.

"...The Song people have stopped attacking since they smashed the gate of the west gate, and they have made several reconnaissances. It seems that they are dismantling the four long-range weapons." The general guarding the west gate stood respectfully in the room facing Fei Ting Darong. report.

"No more attacks? Could it be that although their weapons are powerful, they are easily damaged? The attack lasted only more than an hour," a general next to him muttered with confusion.

Another Xixia general sitting beside Fei Ting Darong nodded thoughtfully. "I do think there is such a possibility. After all, this thing is so powerful. If it keeps attacking Wuyan Ancient City, I believe that within a few days, the entire Wuyan Ancient City will become a ruin under the rocks. "

"It's hard to say, how about this, you go back quickly, pay attention to vigilance, and guard against any changes from the Song people." Although Fei Tingdarong was a little muttering in his heart, since the Song people stopped attacking for the time being, the Xixia in the entire ancient city of Wuyan For the soldiers, it is naturally a great thing.

After the Ximen guard left, the expressions of the more than twenty generals in the room still couldn't relax.
