The battle of the trapped beasts was particularly ferocious, Song Beiyun carefully simulated the siege tactics, but no matter what, even if he could get in, the casualties would be so tragic that they could not be sustained, so he was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for the heavens to be beautiful.

It doesn't work on the psychological warfare in Hengyang City, because the people have already done a good job of psychological construction before he comes, and the minds of the middle and high-level generals are all in one place, not to mention that the assassin has already killed the whole family.

Now the rebels in the city are left to go down the road of rebellion with a white face, and there is no turning back. Their hearts are also like mirrors, they are different from the generals of Changsha and Nanchang, they don't even have a chance to surrender.

Under this premise, they are actually more eager than anyone else to have a contest between men, which can be regarded as a desperate fight, winning the rich and rich, and losing and dying on the spot.

But the siege has been around for a few days, except for a few tentative attacks before, the army outside the city has not made the slightest movement, as if dead, from the city, after those people set up camp, every day is a routine drill, eating and drinking, or singing and dancing around the bonfire, and the atmosphere of the city seems to be separated from the solemn atmosphere of the city.

The people in the city are envious of the outside, really envious. Because the open space as far as the eye can see is littered with animal skins being dried, and from time to time people tanning leather there.

More animal fur means more meat, and more meat means better food, and in contrast, the only meat for the people in the city is rats, at least until reinforcements arrive.

Of course, Fu Shuai also said that when the upstream reinforcements and supplies arrive in a few days, then you can eat as much meat and drink as you like, and everyone can get a reward and an official rank.

Many people are struggling to survive each day with such assumptions, and they don't know when the endless meat and wine will arrive, but they think that one day it will come.

"There are nearly 50,000 soldiers in the city and 200,000 people, and I plan to talk to them before the flood." Song Beiyun said to many of his generals in the tent: "Remember, we are the king's master. It is the division of justice, the mighty division, the division of civilization, the people in the city are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, we want the city more people, if the water attack cannot be attacked, we will turn around and leave, neither lose our combat power nor let the people in the city feel the pain of war. By the time the city is besieged twice, it will be much simpler. ”

"But Yun Shuai, what if they resist to death?"

"What's the way to resist death? Rush out to fight us? ”

While he was talking, the master of the temporary craftsman's workshop outside appeared outside the tent, Song Beiyun saw him with sharp eyes, and hurriedly put down the words on his lips and shouted to him: "Master Sun, come in." ”

The craftsman walked in with a smile on his face, holding two different crossbows in his hands, which had a unique shape, and in addition to all the objects of a regular bow and crossbow, there were many additional things that looked like wheels.

Together, these things look a little strange, but overall they look pretty good.

"Marshal, the bow and crossbow you want have been made according to your diagram."

"It's fast, a master is a master craftsman!" Song Beiyun beckoned: "Come on, reward money!" ”

The master craftsman waved his hand again and again: "Yun Shuai can't help it...... These are the things that villains should do. ”

"What to do and what not to do? If you don't take him, who will do a good job in the future? Take it. Song Beiyun frowned: "Don't give me nonsense, let you take it." ”

The craftsman was holding the heavy money string, his eyes were red, he was an honest man and he didn't know how to speak, but he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Song Beiyun: "Dashuai, this bow is a hundred stone bow, and opening the bow is the power of twenty stones, and the idler can't pull it open." ”

A general next to him laughed: "It's only twenty stones, so it's called a hundred stone bows?" ”

"Is there really 3,000 feet in a flying stream that goes straight down to 3,000 feet?"

Song Beiyun glanced at him, lifted the bow and tried to pull it a few times, but found that it was not as tight as the usual hard bow, and it was still quite easy to pull away.

"Which of you is better at archery?" Song Beiyun looked around at the generals: "Go outside and test fire." ”

Several generals were full of curiosity, scrambling to shoot the first arrow, no one let anyone, after going back and forth a few times, Song Beiyun proposed to let them break their wrists to decide the winner, and whoever had the most strength would let him shoot.

In the end, a general with Hu blood won the first place, and he triumphantly walked out with this strange-shaped bow, and the other generals had to follow silently.

They brought the rear of the battalion and ordered the soldiers to take a cluster of arrows, and the general first pulled the bowstring a few times, and then frowned and said, "Yun Shuai, this bow is not right. This is a light bow, at most two stones, and it has absolutely no power of twenty stones. ”

"You just shoot."

The general was not polite, took the arrow and aimed it at a tree not far away, and shot it with a bow, and the arrow whizzed off the bow, leaving only the sound of the bowstring, and then in an instant the arrow was already on the tree about a hundred paces away.

Song Beiyun led a group of generals to check, and found that the three-foot arrow had not entered nearly half of the trunk, and everyone wasted their strength to pull out the arrow.

"Yun Shuai...... This ......"

"Hmm." Song Beiyun roughly measured the depth, and the penetration depth reached thirty-three centimeters, although this wood is very soft, but the cold weapon can reach such a depth can be said to be the peak, and there will never be a situation where it will not be able to penetrate the rattan armor when shot on a person.

"Come on, take the first step!"

Song Beiyun ordered someone to take the infantry armor, then tied the infantry armor to the tree, and then shot it in turn according to the conventional infantry range.

Within fifty meters, although it is difficult for the bow and arrow to completely penetrate the foot armor, the powerful force will still be transmitted to the back through the layers of metal scales, and there will still be a hole about two or three centimeters in the wood behind it.

This test made the expressions of the generals change, they are all people who lead the troops to fight, how can they not know what such a powerful weapon represents.

Even a person wearing foot armor will still receive considerable damage, and even if the opponent is a cavalry, he will have already fallen off his horse, and a cavalry without a horse is not as good as an infantry.

Seeing this, all the generals wanted to test shoot, and Song Beiyun was also very generous, so he let them shoot in turn.

When they all said yes, Song Beiyun laughed and took the composite crossbow with a more complex process and greater structural strength.

This compound crossbow is one turn larger than the existing hand crossbow, and the string is harder, if you do not use the mechanism to drive it is simply not controllable by human power, but it is not too difficult to wind with that crank, and it can be wound after four and a half turns.

"This crossbow is a little ......" The test general accidentally touched the trigger as he spoke, only to hear a crisp sound break through the air, and then the foot armor not far ahead made a muffled sound.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to check, but they saw that the human armor had been pierced by the crossbow arrow, and only a tail was left outside.

Compared with the bow and arrow, the length of the crossbow arrow is usually only one and a half inches, which is relatively much shorter, but it can still enter about an inch after penetrating the foot armor, which is simply amazing.

Several subordinates took off the foot armor and pulled out the crossbow arrows with great difficulty, but found that the front end of the crossbow arrows had been deformed and could not be used again, the cast iron arrows had been blunted, and the wooden poles had even bloomed, which showed the great power of Fang Cai.

"Yun Shuai...... It's so powerful. ”

Song Beiyun laughed: "If it is all cast in stainless steel, it can probably be a hundred zhang." ”

"Baizhang...... I'm afraid it's more than that, maybe it can go up to 200 zhang. A general who was proficient in archery studied it repeatedly, and after shooting a crossbow, he sighed and said: "If there is this in front of the two armies, there will be no cavalry in the world." ”

"Don't be too confident, cavalry relies on agility." Song Beiyun shook his head and said: "Relying on this cavalry is still a bit fateful, the accuracy is still not high enough, and its strength is large and it penetrates deeply, and it will shoot people through directly, and it will not die for a while and a half, and it can still cut off your dog's head with a knife in front of your eyes in an instant." ”

Song Beiyun turned his head to look at Hengyang City, which was thousands of kilometers away, and pondered: "You guys try to shoot the defenders on the city?" ”

The proposal was a bit cruel, but it was unanimously agreed upon by all, and they came to the camp in high spirits, and shot at the people on the city wall who were only the size of sesame dots from a distance of a thousand meters.

This thing is a casual fate, they are one by one, but they repeatedly miss, and finally they finally get an arrow, only to see the rebels on the city wall crooked and planted the city wall.

The gang laughed when they saw this, but the defenders panicked, they didn't know what was happening, they just heard a scream and then one of them planted the wall, and many people came to check it out. And this look invisibly increased the hit rate of Song Beiyun's side, and after a while, another person was hit by an arrow, and he hurriedly planted the city wall with a scream, and there was no sound in an instant.

This time this group of people played more happily, they carefully adjusted the fall, felt the wind speed, after all, they were people who marched and fought, and they got started very quickly with these things, and after a while their hit rate became higher and higher, although there was still only one thirtieth of the hit rate, but they couldn't stand this arrow was worthless, everyone played a few rounds and one person played a few rounds, and some of them could shoot down two in a row.

Later, this group of killers even opened a handicap, attracting a group of resting soldiers to come over to watch and bet, so happy.

But the defenders of Hengyang City are not so happy, they don't even know what happened, they just know that the defenders of the city have been hit by arrows one after another, and the strength of those arrows does not seem to be great, but if they eat one shot, it is unbearable, and even in the current situation of lack of medical treatment, it is almost a life of nine deaths.

"Hurry up and inform the marshal, someone in the city has released cold arrows!"
