Chapter 652 The Xixia Barbarian's Last Madness (Part [-])
Chapter 661

Although they will not produce that deafening explosion sound, the shock brought by these huge stones hitting the ground makes everyone feel as if a heavy stone slab is trembling in their hearts, and they are almost depressed. out of breath.

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

Their courage and guts, as early as these days, in the seemingly never-ending roar of thunder, gradually lost with the passage of their physical strength and energy.

The Xixia 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 long-range stone throwing machines of the Song army.

The trebuchet seems to be working tirelessly forever, and the throwing rod that is raised high and throws the boulder into the sky will flash in the eyes of Xixia soldiers from time to time.

This situation continued until dusk, and there were almost no intact houses near the center line of Wuyan Ancient City.

At this time, Achang, who was already full of food and wine, led five thousand Xixia soldiers with death aspirations. They divided into two groups and quietly walked along the inside of the north and south walls of Wuyan Ancient City, bypassing Yuanyou's stone throw. The attack range of the machine, and then entered the blind spot of the Yuanyou catapult.

Then cautiously, under the cover of the dark sky, he started to move forward until he reached about a hundred steps away from the Song Army Wall outside the city. Then he stopped and hid in those houses, at the base of the wall. Silently closed his eyes and fell asleep, waiting for the arrival of the boundless night.

#####
"The North Camp and the South Camp are also moving towards the city wall. Now, they are no more than eighty feet away from the city wall."

"That is to say, they only need one charge, and within thirty breaths, they can charge under the city wall..."

"Very well, now, it depends on what kind of reaction those Xixia people can make, whether they will attack from three sides like the previous air raids, or concentrate their superior forces to attack in the direction of the catapult. People are looking forward to it." Wang Yang looked at the blazing fire in the distance, with a calm smile all over his face.

Beside him, Zhe Keshi, who was wearing a helmet and wearing armor, had a resentful expression of looking forward to his return in the middle of the night in a snowstorm, staring stupidly at the ancient city of Wuyan, which was motionless in front of him.

Right in front of Xi Daying, in the open space less than ten feet away from the city wall, there are many burning torches, and from time to time, there will be a burning rocket shooting into the night sky, crossing the Daoguang belt , and finally fell to the ruins of the city.

These are of course used as a warning to guard against night attacks by Xixia soldiers and horses. As long as they rush into the range of the torches, or are traced by rockets, they can send a warning to the Song army soldiers who have already prepared in advance. Alert, get ready for battle.

The Yuanyou stone throwing machine was still working, and the huge stones thrown from time to time hit the ancient city of Wuyan, making the dull sound of objects colliding.

In the dark part of the city where the Song army could not detect at night, those Xixia soldiers in fine iron armor had quietly arrived at the range where the firelight could not shine, and Achang was standing at the forefront of the team at this moment.

The sabers at the waist were slowly being unsheathed, and following his signal, five thousand stalwarts quietly drew their sabers out of their sheaths, holding their crude shields, and began to silently and silently face the flames. The mapping office is advancing.

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

But it was quickly pulled out by the vigilant Xixia soldiers and stepped on to extinguish it. After the fourth rocket fell and extinguished while shaking, it finally aroused the vigilance of the scouts on the sentry tower of the Song army.

With the sound of the order, more than fifty fire arrows were thrown into the sky together and fell towards the ground. This time, more people saw those ghostly figures in the darkness, and the weapons in their hands were flying. The cold light reflected in the firelight.

"Enemy attack, beat the drum!" At this moment, the scouts no longer hesitated, and rang the bronze bell in the sentry tower. Soon, the sound of the war drum suddenly sounded, and the originally quiet Song Army West Camp suddenly became noisy.

Before, Wang Yang, who was already tired from standing, simply sat on the ponytail and leaned against the big tree to sleep, opened his eyes.finally come……

The Xixia people continued to move forward without saying a word. Although the crossbows of the Song army could cause damage to them, thanks to the excellent and heavy armor, most of the crossbows would be bounced off, and only a few The crossbow arrows would pass through the front of the armor and pierce their bodies, but they could only pierce the surface of their bodies.

And when more and more Xixia people, as dense as ants, appeared in the ruins erected near the city wall, the hideous faces of the Xixia people because of excitement and bloodthirsty were revealed in front of the soldiers of the Song Army .

However, at this moment, I heard the drumbeat of the Song Army camp change, and then I heard the sound of a crowd shouting in unison, and then I heard a creaking sound, counting Unclear, stones weighing from one to two catties to seven or eight catties floated up from behind the wall of the village, and then smashed their heads towards those Xixia soldiers...

A stone weighing one or two catties may only be able to smash those Xixia soldiers wearing excellent heavy armor and carrying shields, but a stone weighing seven or eight catties will directly shatter the shields in the hands of Xixia soldiers into pieces , Even their arms will be broken.

There are even a few unlucky ghosts who will be hit on the head by a stone directly, and they will fall limply to the ground, and their life and death are unknown.However, more Xixia soldiers rushed forward even more frantically, and began to roar, roaring, as if to intimidate the enemy on the opposite side by increasing their threat.

"The first team of crossbowmen go to the wall!" Accompanied by the sound of orders, the first team of a thousand crossbowmen climbed up the simple wooden ladder behind the wall and began to shoot down.

In front of the wall, there are two rows of spearmen and one row of swordsmen waiting in full battle. Facing the soldiers of Xixia rushing towards them like wolves and tigers, the spears are like a forest, and they are gradually flattened. Pointed at those Xixia soldiers.

Collisions, roars, screams, wailing, swords piercing flesh, weapons hitting, spears breaking, all kinds of sounds were mixed together, and those catapults continued to pour out their crazily towards the Xixia soldiers who were rushing after them. Stone Rain.

The crossbowmen suppressed the tension in their hearts, aimed in the shortest time, pulled the trigger, and then left their positions without stopping, allowing the crossbowmen who had already been impatiently waiting behind them to board their positions and continue shooting.

The east side of Wuyan Ancient City was brightly lit, and the soldiers were still urging the comrades in front of them to move faster so that they could also board the raft.
