Chapter 777: It’s the right time to attack Yanzhou (second update)
Chapter 786

The arrows were like the storm when the typhoon came, suppressing those Xixia soldiers who didn't even give them a chance to raise their heads and roar in protest.

Although the scattered formation reduced casualties, it also made it difficult for the Xixia archers to fight back against the city.The sporadic return shots could not suppress the arrows on the city at all.

A Yuanyou crossbow with metallic luster on its arms appeared on the female wall, pulled the trigger, and then disappeared, while the archer hardly showed his head, but just kept throwing towards the sky.

The precision and convenience of the Yuanyou Crossbow allow it to have an aiming speed that bows and arrows cannot match. You only need to point Wangshan at the target, pull the trigger, and you can withdraw your body.

The heavy crossbow arrows will be like streaks of black lightning, easily penetrating the defenses of those wearing leather armor. Even if it is iron armor, the armored person will be knocked back as if being hit by a heavy hammer.

When King Wei of Jin's name Chage realized, his son had already led those simple-minded soldiers into the shooting range of the Song people.

At this time, the timely withdraw of the troops may reduce casualties, but it will inevitably make the soldiers resentful.After a few words of scolding by Wei Mingcha, he could only order sternly to let the follow-up army move forward.

Soon, more than [-] Xixia soldiers passed through the death range formed by the dense crossbow arrows, put down the simple ladder on the moat of the city wall, and then rushed to the root of the city wall with both legs.

And at this time, bricks suddenly began to fall from the top of the city. That's right, they were the kind of red bricks that were one foot long, one palm wide, half a palm thick, and weighed about six catties, like rain. The smashed down.

After the thing accelerated by more than two feet, it landed on the heads and shoulders of Xixia soldiers.

Even with the protection of armor, if the brick is just flat, it will at least be a bruise. But if the sharp corner hits the arm or the helmet, it will either cause a concussion or a fracture.

The screams of ghosts and wolves filled the entire North Gate. Most of the soldiers of the Song Army on the top of the city were those Xiang troops in paper armor, while the elite frontier troops only accounted for less than one-third of the number.

But it was these frontier elites who set an example by setting an example and made those Xiang army officers and soldiers who were trembling and almost unable to hold their bows and crossbows steady at the beginning became more and more straight. The hand that held the crossbow and opened the bow became more and more stable.

Their state of mind is also growing rapidly in the fighting and tempering of the war.Although the time is not long, it is impossible for them to dare to face the enemy like those frontier elites in a short period of time.

But at least they can use bows and crossbows to give the defenders sufficient long-range support, and use various defensive weapons on the city wall, so that those unlucky Xixia rough masters can feel the magical and dangerous siege journey.

Whether it's the Yasha Rai or the Spike, these things are taking advantage of their excellent self-respect and hideous appearance to devour fresh lives.

Before the extremely frustrated Poochao Xinde arrived in person, he had already noticed something was wrong and decisively ordered the trumpet to blow the withdrawal. Even so, more than [-] corpses were thrown under the city wall of Youzhou. In addition, nearly a thousand people were injured.

"Brother Wei, Cha, don't forget, the Liaoxia coalition army, Gu is the commander of this army. Since you have been transferred to me by the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, you should strictly observe military discipline and obey the command..."

Yelu and Luwo, who were extremely frustrated, resisted the urge to yell and scolded the commander of the Xia army severely, and asked Pochao Xinde to write to the Xixia king immediately, asking the Xixia king to transfer Weiming Chage away from Xia The position of army commander should be replaced by someone else.

In the end, King Wei of Jin, named Chage, walked away angrily, and Pochao Xinde also knew that this was not an opportunity for internal fighting. Since the Liao Kingdom is the commander-in-chief of an army, if Xixia does not obey, the consequences will be disastrous. It's not me, nor is it what the lord of the country wants to see.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. Your Majesty will write a letter immediately, asking the Lord to make a decision on this matter. His Highness will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"If something like this happens again, the consequences will be borne by you Xixia. I hope you and your lord can understand that Gu's words are not just a verbal threat." Yelu and Luwo looked at Po Chao coldly Xinde is authentic in every word.

With heavy steps, they left Yelu and Luwo's ​​tents of the Chinese army, facing the sun that was approaching dusk, for some reason, a layer of cloud was shrouded in the heart that was originally full of confidence and super-faith.

"I hope everything will go as smoothly as imagined..." Po Chao Xinde murmured with a long breath.

"My lord, please wait..." At this time, a familiar greeting came from behind, and Pochao Xinde turned around, and saw Xiao Wuna walking towards him quickly.

"My lord, please don't blame His Highness. Since the army is a coalition army, His Highness, as the commander of the army, naturally wants to clean up the military discipline. If there is any unauthorized action, and the military order is ignored, then when the time comes, His Highness should let the army do nothing. refer to?"

After some persuasion by Xiao Wuna, the grudges in Po Chao Xinde's heart were dispelled, and he made a promise to Xiao Wuna that he would send a message to the Xixia King as quickly as possible and ask him to give a Clear answer.

After all, the army had just arrived in Youzhou, and the commanders Yelu and Luo had just issued an order to strictly prohibit the garrison from attacking the city without authorization. The Xia army over there was brazenly dispatched. No one could bear such a slap in the face.

"For this expedition to Yanzhou, please ask Ren Duo to love Qing. Wang Qing can bring good news to me and to Daxia." Seeing this majestic and high-spirited team heading southeast Li Qianshun, who was standing next to the imperial chariot, could be said to be full of agitation, and walked towards Ren Duozong, who was wearing armor in front of him, to defend his way.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the late Emperor and His Majesty have a lot of trust in the minister, and the minister should be ashamed to repay the heaven's favor. This time, the army of the Liao Kingdom is pointing directly at Yuzhou, which will definitely attract the attention of the Song Dynasty."

"It's the right time to attack Yanzhou." Ren Duo Zongbao said very ambitiously.

Beside him, the Wei Ming Wu who was left to guard the Xingqing Mansion also subconsciously nodded in agreement with Ren Duo Zongbao's words. "I hope to hear the good news of Zhongshuling as soon as possible. After all, Zhongshuling's departure will leave my Xingqing Mansion empty. If there is an enemy attacking, I will be beyond my reach."

"Brother Ah Wu, don't worry, almost all the last elites of my Great Xia are dispatched now, isn't it just to go to Yanzhou with a drum?" Ren Duo Zongbao patted the shoulder of Wei Ming Wu, very high-spirited and authentic .
