One Piece of Song Dynasty

The Song Army's only weapon that could suppress the Jin Army's catapults was the Thunder Chariot. Of course, this does not mean that other weapons could not suppress the Jin Army's catapults, but Li Xin assigned tasks to all the Song Army's city defense equipment. For example, the bed crossbow and the Tiger Crouching Cannon were used to suppress the Jin Army's catapults. Jin Army infantry and siege equipment except catapults.

Therefore, as soon as the Jin Army started to attack, the thunder chariots in the city did not stop for a moment. They continued to follow the instructions of the positioning gunners standing on the city wall and launched stones one after another out of the city, and they landed in the Jin Army's catapult formation, or Destroying the Jin Army's catapults or causing casualties to the Jin Army, the Song Army was never completely suppressed by the Jin Army's catapults.

However, the intensity of the Jin Army's attack this time was also different from the past. The Jin Army came out with all its elite troops, and their fighting will was much stronger than in the previous days. A large number of Jin Army was like a flood, fiercely attacking the ruins of Luzhou City. On the city wall, countless ladders were erected on the city wall. The arrow stones outside the city were swayed on the city wall as if they were free from the beginning. Every moment, soldiers of the Song Army fell in a pool of blood.

The fighting on the North Wall at this moment can be said to be the most intense in the entire Luzhou City. Since the start of the Luzhou Offensive and Defense War, the North Wall defended by Yang Yi in the middle has been under the greatest pressure. Basically, most of the losses of the Song Army came from the North Wall. .

Seeing the brothers who had followed him for many years fall down one by one, Yang Yizhong had no time to grieve. Facing the fierce attack of the Jin army, he had to raise his bow himself and kept firing arrows towards the city. The golden soldiers on the city wall were shot and killed at the bottom of the city. Even if the golden soldiers were wearing heavy armor, they could not resist the hard bows of two stones and five buckets. Coupled with Yang Yizhong's precise shooting skills, it can almost be said that one arrow kills one life. , and soon the two pots of arrows sent to him by the soldiers were all shot.

However, after shooting so many arrows in a row, Yang Yizhong himself felt unbearable pain in his arms. Most people would be good enough to shoot six or seven arrows in a row. What's more, he was holding a hard bow of more than two stones and fired forty arrows in a row. Many of the arrows were exhausted, and the arm that fired the bow was almost swollen with fatigue, making it almost unbearable.

Looking at the city wall again, there are already many people in the Song Army who can hardly lift their arms because of continuous archery. However, due to the fierce attack of the Jin soldiers on the city, they cannot change the defense now. It takes time to change the defense. Once the defense is changed, the defense will be weakened, giving Jin The army can take advantage of this opportunity, but even if the defense is not changed, the Song army's defensive strength has now weakened.

Seeing that the Song Army's defensive power was weakened, a large number of Jin troops began to speed up the ants to attach themselves to various ladders and climb up the city wall. In this situation, the crossbowmen were basically useless. The next step was hand-to-hand combat. Yang Yizhong had no choice but to order the crossbowmen to rest, and soldiers with swords, shields, and other units that were good at close combat rushed up to help. In order to make the defense change go smoothly, even the tiger squatting gunners on the city wall lifted the rolling logs and rocks under their feet and threw them at the bottom of the city wall, but The rain of arrows from the Jin army was so dense that often as soon as the soldiers of the Song army stretched out their heads and threw stones or rolled logs, they would be immediately knocked to the ground by the enemy's arrows. However, as long as most of them were not hit in the vital parts, they would be killed. Breaking off the arrow shaft and inserting it into the armor, he once again picked up the stone and rushed forward, then smashed it towards the city.

There was also a Song army carrying a large pot filled with boiling water, aiming it at the ladder set up on the city wall and pouring it down. The soldiers of the Jin army who climbed on the ladder were so hot that they rolled down screaming, while those Song soldiers who carried the pot poured it down. The hands and arms of the soldiers were also covered with blisters burned by the boiling water, but they still kept going back and forth to get the boiling water and poured it down the city.

In fact, I was originally supposed to use golden juice, but I ran out of golden juice a few days ago, so I had to replace it with boiled water.

Li Xin did not return home after getting off the city wall. He had been taking Zhao Ding and others under the city to pay attention to the situation of defending the city. Looking at the wounded soldiers or corpses being carried down one by one, Li Xin felt anxious in his heart. It hurts, what good athletes they are. For his plan, these people have unleashed all their potential, and they are resisting the Jin army's attack with all their might.

Li Xin said to Zhao Ding: "Yuan Zhen, after this battle, these dead and wounded soldiers must be well compensated. They are all heroes who should be remembered by history. We cannot let the heroes bleed and shed tears."

Zhao Ding bowed and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I understand."

Song soldiers kept falling down on the city wall. Yang Yizhong saw with his own eyes two Song soldiers carrying a large pot filled with boiling water and about to pour it down the city wall. However, a Song soldier was suddenly shot in the neck by a Jin army. The arrow hit him, his hands went limp, and he immediately fell to the ground. The full pot of boiling water immediately poured on his body, scalding the dying Song soldier until his skin and flesh were torn. His condition was so miserable that he was almost helpless. describe.

There were also two Song soldiers who were hit by the fireballs thrown onto the city wall by the Jin army. The two men were immediately covered with kerosene, and a fire broke out in an instant. The pain made the two men scream desperately, but they both responded in unison. At the same time, they rushed outside the city wall, hugged a Mongolian soldier who had just climbed up the city wall, and fell off the city wall with him. Even if they fell under the city wall, they hugged the enemy tightly and burned them together. A ball.

The air was filled with the strong smell of blood, corpses, and gunpowder smoke, which was almost suffocating. The sound of rumbles of artillery rocks falling to the ground, the screams of dying people, and The two armies roared like wild beasts together.

At this time, on the city wall not far away, Jin army soldiers began to swarm up to the city, waving their swords, guns, maces, and axes to fight with the Song army on the city. Under the fierce attack of the Jin army regardless of the cost, , they still began to swarm up the city wall.

So Yang Yizhong threw away the hard bow and reached out to get his beloved Mo Dao from the soldiers. This Mo Dao was given to Yang Yizhong by Li Xin a few years ago. Made of steel, Yang Yizhong raised his Mo Dao and yelled, then rushed to the front of a ladder. With the knife in his hand, he cut a golden soldier who had just jumped onto the city wall into two pieces, then kicked him over and killed him. The golden soldier's upper body was kicked out of the city wall, and he fell down screaming.

"We are the Iron Army of the Song Dynasty who are guarding us with swords. We must not let them step into the city even half a step." Yang Yizhong's face was spattered with the enemy's blood. He ran back and forth on the city wall like a tiger, shouting loudly in his mouth and in his hands. The cold light of Mo Dao flashed, and every time he swung it, an enemy's life was taken away. However, under his powerful Mo Dao, the enemy soldiers rarely had a single general, and the armor on their bodies was like paper. They fell to the ground one after another. at his feet.
