Chapter 204: Exciting General

Now it seems that in order to ensure that the security city is not lost, it is necessary to ensure that the guardians are sufficient and military supplies are abundant. Lu Guan urgently dispatched a group of soldiers from the army to recruit men over 15 to under 40 in the city to join the township warriors, and let these soldiers train the township warriors for short-term training. After seeing the power of the guarding of the crossbows, he slaughtered all the cattle and sheep in the city, and the cow tendons obtained were used to make more crossbows, and all the houses that could be demolished were demolished, leaving only the houses that people lived in, and the bricks and stones obtained were used as rounds of crossbows.

Just overnight, 20,000 rural tyrants were summoned in Baoan City, and the houses in the city were reduced by one third. Lu Shen didn't know when the reinforcements commanded by Han Shuai would be in place, but the longer the guard of Baoan City, the better, the whole city was determined to continue to waste with the Dangxiang army outside the city.

After dawn, the Dangxiang army lined up outside the city, first sent three or four hundred loud soldiers there to persuade them to surrender, and continued to threaten the city to slaughter the city as a threat to try to shake the morale of the Song army defending the city. As a result, because it was too tight, Lu Shu gave the order, a heavy rain-like crossbow cannon was smashed over. The heads of the five or six out of ten who were calling out were smashed, and the remaining immortals were seriously injured. This greatly angered the Dangxiang generals on the opposite side. With a trombone, the Dangxiang people began the third day's siege.

A relatively large blue brick weighs only five or six kilograms, but after being fired by the crossbow, even if the heavy infantry of the Song Dynasty with the best protection in this era was killed on the spot, let alone the Dangxiang soldiers who had almost no protective equipment? For a moment, a "brick rain" broke out on the top of the Security City, and the crossbows transformed with the jinglin hook had amazing firing ability. One soldier shook his handle and fired. The other soldier was responsible for loading the shells, two people in a group, and the three sides of the Security City were covered with crossbows. When the fire was launched together, it was simply the Dangxiang people's death talisman.

However, for the Dangxiang people, it is good that the range and accuracy of the crossbow cannons are limited. Some powerful land shooters in the Dangxiang army can still hit the Song army at the head of the city, but compared with the entire city, this kind of damage is still very limited. After the Song army generals consciously reduced the firing intensity of the crossbow and retreated some of the crossbows to the cover on the city. According to the agreed plan yesterday, several gaps were exposed for the Dangxiang people to pass, so that they could let them go to the city.

When the general Dangxiang under the city saw that the Song army's protective offensive weakened, they suddenly concentrated in these gaps like a fly seeing carrion. However, when the soldiers of Dangxiang sacrificed their lives to climb to the top of the city, they saw a general of the Song army shouting coldly: "Let it go!" A rain of arrows shot dozens of Dangxiang soldiers who had just climbed to the top of the city into hedgehogs.

Seeing the Dangxiang soldier who was dead with his eyes closed, the general had no expression on his face. He waved the red flag in his hand, and the crossbows on both sides of the gap immediately shot bricks to block the Dangxiang soldiers behind him. The Song army in the gap pulled out his arrows from the Dangxiang soldier's body to prepare for use next time.

A Song soldier ran over and asked the general, "Captain, how to deal with the bodies of these barbarian thieves?"

"Cut off their heads and send them to the crossbows for them to fire!" the captain said coldly. The soldier next to him shivered and conveyed the command of the captain.

Soon, the Dangxiang people who were struggling to attack the city under the city were suddenly attacked by a crossbow. Although the shells surprisingly did not kill themselves this time, they looked closely and saw that they were actually bloody heads!

At the moment, a group of riots among the Dangxiang soldiers who were siege were scared to death. They ignored the whip and machete of the military supervisor and ran back as soon as they threw their weapons. When the Dangxiang generals saw the head of their robes, their heads were filled with blood and they rushed to the top of the city to avenge the robes. This advance and retreat disrupted the rhythm of the Dangxiang soldiers' attack. Although there were no Song army's crossbows and shells fired under the city, their camp was still in chaos.

The incident in which the captain fired the Dangxiang soldier's head with a crossbow and triggered a small earthquake between Song and Xia. The Dangxiang people saw that the chaotic offensive under the city could not pose a threat to the Song army's walls.

If this continues, it is nothing more than a death to siege the city and retreating to end the morning's offensive. Almost everyone in the Dangxiang camp was furious about this incident. Even Liang Gewei, who had always been calm, was furious after hearing this news. He had fought with the Song army for half his life, and had never seen the Song army so rampant, but he killed people with a head lowered. It was the first time they cut off the dead Dangxiang people's head like them!

The Song army camp also caused a lot of controversy because of this matter. However, compared with the anger of General Dangxiang, Lu Sheng was very calm here. Although some generals opposed such bloody practices, most of the generals were red-eyed these two days. Most of the generals were leading the way to fight against the people of Dangxiang at the top of the city, most of them were injured or even stained with blood. Everyone was not blamed for this bold lieutenant, at most they could not see it.

"Master Lu, I am learning from the Dangxiang barbarians. Didn't they cut off the heads of our soldiers to calculate military merits? I am just giving me a reward!" The captain said angrily in the meeting hall.

"Xianmin, don't be extreme! If someone in the court impeaches today, it may be unfavorable to your future!" Lu Shi said with some concern. The lieutenant's name is Chengyi, whose name is Xianmin is brave and bold, careful in combat, and is a general. Lu Shi loves his talent and is worried that today's affairs will involve Shen Chengyi's future prospects, so he reminds him.

Shen Chengyi bowed forward and said, "Thank you Lord Shen for your care, but Chengyi has other plans this time, not acted recklessly! The Dangxiang barbarians and our Song Dynasty have been in opposition for many years, and the soldiers and generals are extremely arrogant. At the end of today, they will not leave their heads down, not entirely to vent their anger. They are all because such incidents have not happened since the confrontation between Song and Xia. They are just used to anger the Dangxiang barbarians, arouse their anger, and make their words of massacre and intimidate the city. This is exactly in line with the strategy set by the Admiral. His Dangxiang barbarians and generals are unable to stop because of this. If they cannot take revenge, their prestige and morale will plummet. At last, they think that if the Dangxiang people do not break the security army, they may have no shame to go back to Xixia again!"

The generals in the meeting hall were right when they heard this. If they were already confused, if they were General Dangxiang, they would have been unable to find the southeast, west and north, and they would have only the word "reward" in their minds. After hearing this, Lu Shi also smiled and nodded to say goodbye, thinking in his heart that Shen Xianmin is quite smart in fighting in daily life. Why did he do such a stupid thing today and give someone a handle? It turned out that the content had details, but he still had to give the court a letter to avoid letting Shen Xianmin take the blame for his innocence after the war.

After Lu Shen and the generals of the Council Hall talked about the "spend" incident today, they immediately went back to prepare. This morning, the Dangxiang people's offensive was disrupted by a "head rain". They could not continue fighting and had to gather the team in advance. It is estimated that the opponent has now walked out of the initial shock and has no place to exhale. The afternoon battle will be even more cruel and fierce. Now take advantage of the truce to repair the fortifications so that they can be at ease in the battle below.

During this period of noon, the Song army pulled out the bed crossbow that had been put away. The city was filled with huge special arrows for bed crossbows. Because of its lightness, the crossbow cannons were placed slightly raised and placed in the second row as the main force of near defense. After this siege, although the Song soldiers were shocked by the power of the firearms, they liked the crossbows more. This thing is easy to operate and is not picky about the shells. As long as it is a brick, it can be placed on the city. As long as there are houses in the city that can be demolished, it is safe and bold, and don’t worry about it like a firearm. Once there is no explosive pack, it will be like a decoration.

Just as the Song army packed everything and had a meal on the top of the city, the trombones in the Dangxiang camp opposite sounded one after another, and the Dangxiang people on the other side made an attack again. Soon the war started to ignite from the north gate, and the Dangxiang people began to attack. This attack was different from the previous two days. Although Liang Gewei was furious, he was not completely dizzy. He adjusted his troops deployment, and the South Gate and the East Gate were guarded by cavalry, and he surrounded him without any effort, and attacked the North Gate with all his strength.

After Lu Xian observed the troops deployment of the Dangxiang people at the North Gate and his generals, he also knew that they would face unprecedented challenges today. He immediately made corresponding adjustments and urgently called more special arrows for crossbows and bricks to gather them on the North Gate wall. He also transferred three thousand heavy infantrymen who had been reluctant to use to line up behind the city wall. They also had some small firearms in their hands, which were similar to small grenades. The craftsmen led by Tianji of the City of Zhongzhong modified landmines and turned into bombs that could be dropped. Although the number was not large, they could be taken out to scare Dangxiang people in times of crisis to alleviate the crisis.

Just when Lu Shi and his friends arranged for heavy infantry to come to the wall, the Dangxiang people's offensive began - the Dangxiang people sent hundreds of rangers to form several teams to shoot arrows at the city outside the range of the crossbows. Their accurate heads were very high, and at this time, unless the crossbows were launched in a concentrated manner, it would be almost impossible to hit such a ranger.

Lu Shen and the generals on the battlefield looked at each other at this time - the Dangxiang people's heads were not confused yet. This kind of combat method was much smarter than the siege that had been storming the city two days ago. Although the shells required for the crossbows were bricks, it was a waste to deal with such loose rangers. After a long time, the bricks would be exhausted. Lu Shen quickly ordered the shield hands of the heavy infantry to step forward to protect the crossbows and the archers of the crossbows, and also selected some Song troops with excellent archery accuracy to fire secret arrows on the Dangxiang rangers under the city under the cover of the shield hands.

This is not to mention that Liang Gewei is still a material for fighting. Although he was almost bleak in anger like other Dangxiang generals, he still improved his siege strategy and came up with such a countermeasure to "firing brick crossbows". Of course, he also knew that the Song army would definitely send archers to shoot the ranger in a tit-for-tat manner, but the Dangxiang people grew up on horseback and had excellent accuracy. The range that the Song army emphasized more emphasis on archery has not high requirements for soldiers' accurate heads. In addition, his own soldiers were riding on horseback, which was even more difficult to shoot, so it would be very cost-effective to consume it.

Liang Gewei's abacus was extremely good at playing, but he did not expect that there were heavy infantry in this small security city. The giant shield equipment in the heavy infantry was used to restrain this kind of ranger, and there were special archery and aiming holes on the shield. Once the heavy infantry was on, Dangxiang archers would have a hard time. Compared with the hit rate of Dangxiang archers, the Song army still had a big gap, but there were many heroes. There were also outstanding sharpshooters in the Song army. They were extremely difficult to be shot under the cover of the giant shield, and this was invincible. Ranger archers were already shot. The casualties of the Dangxiang people also began to increase.

Liang Gewei saw that it was a stalemate. With the flag in his hand, more riders joined in immediately, forming a dense rain of arrows and shooting at the city. However, their nightmare also began to open the curtain - this happened to be the range of the crossbow, and such a dense cavalry was the perfect target for the crossbow. It was hard to imagine dozens of crossbows that had not experienced the King of Cold Weapons participating in the battle. Each crossbow shot three giant special arrows at a time. What effect would be on the dense formation? For a time, two or three or four people could be seen on the battlefield, and some Dangxiang soldiers had only a blood hole as thick as a wooden stick on their chests. The result of the terrifying penetration of the crossbow.

However, such a terrifying scene did not scare away the Dangxiang people. They continued to move towards the city wall with red eyes and dense crossbows. While rushing, they shot arrows at the Song army at the top of the city. In just a short time, they rushed to the city wall. They cut off the rope that was dragging the long ladder with a saber. The soldiers behind the round hurriedly set up the long ladder and put it on the top of the security city.

The trombone in the Dangxiang camp sounded again - this was not the trombone that could withdraw troops, but the Dangxiang soldiers from a combat unit were put into the battlefield again - the rolling siege in turn - this was also the most challenging the soldiers on both sides of the offense and defense to play. Under the north wall of the security guard and until the Dangxiang army formation, there were Dangxiang soldiers everywhere - they were going to break through the northern gate of the city to the death this time!

When Lu Shi saw this scene on the city tower, he knew that Shen Chengyi's method of provoking was effective - it was so effective that the Dangxiang people wanted to succeed in the battle! He immediately ordered all the crossbows, crossbows and the archers of the Song army to shoot intensively, without paying attention to the consumption of arrows and shells, and concentrated all the only firearms in the hands of the heavy infantry at the city gate. Once the Dangxiang people wanted to attack the city gate, they used huge stone firearms to rescue them.

The Dangxiang people had already spoken out to massacre the city. All the Song soldiers in the area knew that there were more than 100,000 Dangxiang troops outside the city wall. With the Song army in the city, they would stick to the rescue. Otherwise, as long as they left the city wall or let the Dangxiang people successfully attack the city, they would definitely have no way to survive. Moreover, they also had their own wives and children in the city, in order to survive. Every Song army on the top of the city entered a crazy state, mechanically loading shells, shaking the handle quickly, and firing at a higher frequency as quickly as possible. The density of Dangxiang soldiers siege under the city has allowed them to ignore aiming. As long as the arrows and shells are fired, they will definitely gain something - this is whether you die or I live in the war, and there is no second way to go.

If Liang Gewei knew that the threat of massacre of the city yesterday made the Song army so brave today, he would probably want to slap himself twice.

Although the casualties of Dangxiang soldiers have reached a point that both generals have exploded, they are no longer able to stop. The Song army will naturally fight back to defend the city in order to save their lives. Dangxiang soldiers have now formed an offensive. If it is interrupted at this time, wouldn’t the Dangxiang soldiers near the city wall become fat on the Song army’s chopping board?

Finally, the Dangxiang soldiers began to climb up the city walls on many places on the north walls, but at this time the word "blood flows into a river" can be used to describe the casualties of the Dangxiang army. However, stimulated by the Dangxiang soldiers who attacked the city, all the Dangxiang generals were now extremely excited. Liang Gewei immediately waved his hand to order to continue to deploy more troops to enter the battlefield. Be sure to take down the city heads today. At the same time, he also ordered the Dangxiang army on the other two walls to constantly use rangers to harass the Song army. Once the Song army dispatched troops to support the North City Wall, an attack would be launched immediately.

The Dangxiang soldiers were able to attack the city so quickly, which made all the generals of the Song army feel incredible. This was because the Dangxiang people themselves attacked. It was not like the trap they deliberately set in the morning battle, but at the same time, what cannot be ignored is the afternoon battle. The number of crossbows the Song army invested was twice that of the morning, which shows the fierceness of the Dangxiang soldiers!

Now is no longer the time to discuss whether to hide strength. The important thing is to drive the Dangxiang people down the city wall. Otherwise, the challenge of single-on-single infantry is a very dangerous thing for the Song army, which is at a disadvantage. When the Dangxiang people attacked the city wall, the first thing they faced was the heavy infantry in the Song Dynasty wearing heavy armor - this is the world's leading heavy infantry. The armor on their bodies is the armor worn by giant shield hands and spearmen in the rectangular square formation of heavy infantry. When Wang Jinghui saw the Song Dynasty, he saw the Song Dynasty.
