Chapter 1,234 Danger

Following the Xia people pushed several huge weapons to the other side of the river. Di Yong at the top of the city was shocked when he saw them: "The Xia people actually have this too?"

The three-gun bed crossbow was originally a city defense weapon of the Song people, but now the Xia people also have it!

Gong Mengxiao waved the command flag in his hand, and the crossbowman knocked the trigger with a mallet. The huge crossbow gun was fired towards the city wall, making a dull sound. The Xia people shouted and began to charge towards the city wall.

Wearing heavy armor and not afraid of arrows, the chosen leader rushed to the bottom of the city and began climbing to the top of the city on a javelin pole.

Huanzhou City is located in a remote area, with a circumference of only nine miles. The highest part of the city wall is only three feet high, and most of them are only two feet high.

The huge piece of wood was pushed down from the top of the city, fell along the loess city wall, and smashed the javelin pole to the bottom of the city together with the climbing heavy armored sergeant.

On the river beach, Gong Mengyou erected a two-meter-high shield in front of the army, and the Xia people from the brigade began to form a team behind the shield.

The large shield was covered with three layers of cowhide and soaked in water overnight. It took four soldiers to lift it.

Such a large shield made it impossible for the crane-shank crossbow to penetrate, and because the crane-shank crossbow's line was straight, the Xia army could not even eject it from the city wall, leaving the Song army helpless for a while.

The Xixia sergeants all hid behind the large shields and gradually gathered into a large group.

The situation was so bad that Di Yong's face turned livid.

The reason why he dared to let the Xia people attack the city and abandon the trenches was because Di Yong had self-confidence and softened his heart for the sake of the people.

Now that Zong Mengyou's army is so organized, it shows that the Xia army has been studying the Song army, and their siege methods have been improving.

"Get ready for thunder!" Di Yong had no idea that on the first day of the offensive and defensive battle, he would have to take out his trump card.

The drums on the other side of the ditch rumbled, and the Xia people's bed crossbows began to fire javelins again. After calibration, the number this time was larger and denser.

Gong Mengyou had already moved the rear army across the Huanhe River, and while the flag was waving, the Xia rear army's bow array also started firing.

"Swish, swish, swish" countless feathered arrows flew high into the air, and then fell towards the city head.

"Avoid arrows" Di Yong shouted loudly and squatted down with his back against the crenel.

Along with this round of arrow feathers, the Xia people's giant shield opened several holes, and several teams of forwards rushed out again.

Di Yong stood up again: "Shoot! Shoot the bow formation first!"

"Bengbengbeng" the sound of thousands of cranes' shin crossbows fired from the top of the city became one continuous sound.

The archers of the Xia rear army moved forward and squeezed tightly behind the oar shield, which was larger than the door panel. Relying on the thick cover, they fired unscrupulously.

Xuan Feng rushed to the bottom of the city in a blink of an eye and began to charge towards the top of the city.

"Wow!" The fierce fire oil poured down from the top of the city, followed by several fire jars thrown from the top of the city, burning the bottom of the city into a sea of ​​fire.

Xia Xuan's forward suddenly turned into a can of fire, letting out a dull scream under the heavy armor, frantically pulling at more than 30 kilograms of heavy armor, rolling in vain in the fire, and finally lost his voice.

Amidst the thick smoke and fire, a flaming man jumped up to the top of the city, like a demon appearing in hell. He swung the battle ax in his hand and chopped down two Song soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, several more Xia people, smoking and burning, climbed up from the top of the city and used their battle axes and hammers to carve out a small open space.

Xia people's crossbows and javelins began to fire concentratedly at this place, the deep sound of horns sounded, and more Xia troops came towards this place to kill.

Di Yong activated the three-edged spear in his hand and rushed towards Xia Xuanxuan.

"Poof!" Xia Ren's chain mask could not block the sharp stabbing spear, and blood splashed out from the gaps in the mask.

However, this Xia man was also brave. He grabbed the spear with both hands and jumped down towards the city!

Di Yong was led to stagger, and he quickly let go, and the Xia people took the spear to the bottom of the city.

Before he could adjust his posture, the two axes struck Di Yong in different directions!

"Poof!" A Xia man suddenly had an arrow feather in his eye socket. Di Yong, with his sharp eyesight and quick hands, reached out to grab the Xia man's battle ax and twisted it, holding the other Xia man's battle axe.

"Pfft!" Another arrow shot into the eye socket of the Xia man. The selector leaned back. Di Yong suddenly rushed forward and crouched down, holding the Xia man's heavy armor infantry's crotch and exerting force: "

Get down!"

The Xia people screamed miserably and fell to the bottom of the city. A cheer sounded from far behind Di Yong: "The prefect is good at wrestling!"

Di Yong drew out his riding sword with his right hand, and drew out a sharp dagger from his thigh with his left hand. Without looking back, he rushed towards the other strikers and shouted: "Brother is good at archery!"

A striker wielded a mace and struck at Di Yong. Di Yong did not retreat but advanced, holding the mace with his cavalry sword, and stabbed the sword in his left hand hard from the armpit that was not protected by heavy armor!

Xuan Feng let out a scream and swung his fist, but Di Yong's second sword had already pierced his face.

After kicking the chosen striker away, the Song Army's shields were finally organized. The shield players used swords and shields to protect the spearmen behind them. The sharpness of the three-edged spears showed its power on the battlefield for the first time.

The heavy armor worn by the Xia Xia strikers was divided into three layers. The bottom layer was a cotton robe, and outside the cotton robe was a layer of chain armor, and there was plate armor on the outside.

However, plate armor protection is not comprehensive. The face, neck, and limbs, as long as they are not protected by plate armor, cannot withstand the attack of a bayonet.

And as long as you are shot, the blood loss function of the triangular wound will continue.

Di Yong has thrown away the cavalry sword in his hand and replaced it with the Xia people's battle axe. Light steps versus heavy steps. The combination of the battle ax and the stabbing sword is much stronger than the cavalry sword.

The thick smoke of the fierce fire oil blocked the sight of both the Song army and the Xia people. Several Song soldiers sneaked into the gap where Di Yong shot through the battlements, took out the thunder, lit the fuse, and counted

Two or three, and then threw it down the city.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sky-shaking thunder caused huge damage to the Xia people who were waiting for the annexation below the city. The cast-iron shrapnel scattered with the shock wave, and several of them exploded in the air, immediately clearing out a place where no one was standing under the city.

Many Xia soldiers had their limbs cut off by bombs, or had shrapnel inserted into their lungs, but they died instantly and were left wailing and screaming outside the city.

Just when the situation was about to be reversed, an explosion stronger than a thunderbolt suddenly came from the city gate!

"Boom"

Under the tower of Huanzhou City, a cloud of gunpowder smoke mixed with the blown door panels, copper nails, and iron locks were scattered in all directions.

The Huanzhou City Gate was opened by a strong explosion!

Meng Mengyu stood up from the tiger pier and drew out his long sword: "Surge into Huanzhou, take the women, cattle and sheep as you like, massacre the city for three days, and swear not to seal the sword!"

"Killing" the Xia people's central army finally began to move out and kill towards the opened Huanzhou City.

On top of the city, Di Yong was knocked to the ground by the strong explosion, and his eardrums were bleeding.

You were careless! Di Yong ignored his injuries and got up covered in blood: "Guards, follow me down to the city! Brother Wu, I'll leave the city to you!"

Wu Cunzhi nodded, and then let go of the bowstring in his hand. A Xia Jun who had just climbed to the top of the city screamed and fell down: "Go away, Grandmaster, and leave this place to the villain. I guarantee that you will not lose the city!"

Di Yong and his bodyguards slid down the slopes on both sides of the city gate.

The Xia people had already poured in, and the defenders' reserves immediately filled in. Under the leadership of Di Yong, they started a bloody battle with the Xia people.

The cooked potatoes in the city are not easy to mess with. The cattle and sheep are all in the city, and they are their property.

Di Yong's previous measures to edit the cooked Tibetan people came into effect at this moment. The cooked Tibetan people knew that their property would inevitably be lost after the Xia people entered the city, so they now used tribes as a unit to occupy high places in the houses and shoot arrows at the Xia people.

There was almost no foreshadowing in the Battle of Huanzhou, and it reached the climax of the decisive battle in just a blink of an eye.

Above the city, below the city, inside the city, and outside the city, there were fierce battles and bloodshed everywhere.

When the Xia people stood firm at the city gate and put up their big shields, the sound of ringing gold suddenly sounded in the city.

The Song army and the Tibetan volunteers retreated towards several streets like a tide.

The Xia people advanced with heavy steps, guarded by long spears, and followed with light steps, and began to pursue and advance along the streets towards the city.

Outside the city, a smile appeared on Meng Mengyu's face.

Angel Di was not doing well after that, and the use of troops was still too stagnant.

He lured Ling Nie to attack, and then used lightning speed to seize Hongde Village and seize the explosives that the Song people had no time to destroy, which finally came in handy at the critical moment.

The Song people were so proud that they thought the Xia people would never use their weapons, but now they suddenly used them and stunned them.

It's a pity that the quantity was too small and it did not achieve the same effect as Yixi Weishe's bombing of Xiaoguan.

However, Huanzhou City has basically changed hands.

At this moment, a series of "rumbling" explosions were heard in Huanzhou City, and immediately afterwards, the Xia people who had previously poured into the city retreated like a tide.
