Chapter 416: Miracles
Yao Ji was still not at ease in the end, and after he went back to lie down, he still stood at the head of the city and looked in the direction of Hoarding Anzhai in the west.
He fell asleep against the city wall in a daze, but at dawn he was suddenly awakened by the faint cheers of the wind.
"What's going on?" Yao Ji grabbed a sergeant and asked.
The sergeant looked at the hoard village more than ten miles away: "I don't know, I can't really hear it, it seems to be from over there!" ”
……
In the Western Xia camp, Liang Zuo was cheering up the sergeants: "On this day last year, I sent envoys to celebrate the accession of the Song Dynasty lord, but what did they do?!" ”
"Refuse our tribute, refuse to give us books, humiliate our envoys, and expel them from the country!"
"I can't bear such a shame! Can you endure it? ”
The Western Xia soldiers drew their swords and waved them to the sky: "Can't!" No! No! ”
Liang Zuo said: "This year, Weizhou opened the city to the Tibetan people, but I was excluded from Daxia; In July, I spied on the camp of Tiandu and stole my dragon horse; In September, the cavalry marched into Tiandu Mountain and almost seized Shimenxia! I want to ask, what's wrong with my warriors?! Is your blood brave still there?! ”
Countless Western Xia warriors had tears in their eyes, the lord was worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord was humiliated and the ministers died!
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
Liang Zuo took out his sword and pointed at Ho Anzhai: "Break it, and there will be Weizhou behind it!" There are many valleys of money, women, cows and horses, fine wine, silk, and so much more! ”
"Song Ting turned his plan upside down, and sent a lucky young man to serve as a high-ranking official, except for sharp arrows, there is nothing else to be desired!"
"Ho'an Village has been besieged for several days, and the water source in the village has long been cut off, but a heavy rain may be able to bring the dead back to life."
"It took us two months to get here, and countless lives cost us!"
"My warriors, you have to fight with the heavens for time! Let Song Ting see our strength and tenacity! Let them know that the price of humiliating us! ”
"The first to ascend, reward 50 cattle, 500 sheep, 500 gold, and command the first army!"
"Those who have won Su Mingrun, five hundred cattle, thousands of sheep, three hundred gold, and the envoy of the Guanzhou Festival!"
"The one who enters Weizhou first is the lord of Weizhou!"
The warriors cheered.
However, at this moment, there was an even more fierce cheer from the village: "Yixi Weishe! Yesy Wicker! ”
……
In Hoarding Village, Su You has just finished a large-scale superstitious activity.
More than a dozen leaders of the Shuqu tribe were dealt with by military law, and Su You said that this was a sacrifice to the Dragon King of Jinghe.
Then he ordered the people of the engineering department to step on the water wheel and pour the little water left in the pool into two deep wells.
When the water was full to the wellhead, the engineering team pushed the clutch of the windmill and saw that in the two deep wells, the clear spring automatically bubbled up.
Two ponds, the water level is rising at a rate almost visible to the naked eye.
The Tibetan people who were watching the execution of the traitors in the church were so shocked by this scene that they knelt on the ground, and the old leader was so excited that he raised his arms and shouted: "This is a miracle!" Yesy Wicker! Provide! ”
The people shouted in unison: "Yesi Weishe! Yesy Wicker! ”
Su You was dressed in a five-grade court uniform, standing on the platform, facing the rising sun, full of force: "The Xia people want to fight!" Then fight to the death! ”
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
All the sergeants, the townspeople, the border households, and the familiar ones, roared together at this moment, and the murderous spirit was dry.
……
The most brutal siege battle has finally begun.
Above the city, a ballista was erected behind loose cowhide and rope nets, and the soldiers creaked and shook the turntable to pull the crossbow arms, and then placed the solid porcelain bullets in place.
Xiang Yong was also organized, and ambulance teams, transport teams, and some skilled archers were temporarily issued crane shin crossbows to supplement the crossbow corps.
While protecting the cattle, sheep, and war horses from being frightened, the Tibetan people polished their armor and excitedly prepared to go out of the city to fight.
They are now the most loyal group of people to Su You, because behind Yesi Waisha are the gods of the heavens!
No one is stupid, the trenches outside the city of Weizhou were immediately used by the Tanguts, who cut wood from the surrounding mountains and built them on top of the trenches, which were not only platforms and bridges for advancement, but also a cover for the trenches, and the soldiers could assemble through the tunnels below to the end of the trenches, only a hundred steps away from the Hoanzhai.
The drums rumbled in the Western Xia army, and a large number of baggage soldiers carried the ladder across the wooden bridge and rushed to the wall.
The ballistas and crane crossbows on the wall began to shoot, and a porcelain bullet swept through the endeavor squad, and suddenly blood rained, tendons were broken and broken, and the ladder was destroyed and people died.
More fell on the march with crossbow arrows, but the desperate advance of the baggage soldiers still caused many ladders to be set up on the wall.
Countless Western Xia warriors shouted and flipped out of the tunnel, and ants flocked to a limited number of ladders.
However, the ladder can only be placed on a flat surface, and the design of the snowflake fortress is destined for the warriors who climb the ladder to meet the brutal shooting from the range of 270 degrees!
Moreover, the design hole design of the fortress is still multi-layered, and the entire city wall is from top to bottom, as well as countless passages and hidden caves, and the crossbowmen hide inside, so that the climbing Xixia soldiers have tasted the hardships.
The Tangut people also reacted immediately, there are holes in the wall! It's like a termite nest, and it's a worrying sturdiness!
Liang Yi immediately adjusted his tactics, pressed on the strong crossbowmen, suppressed the firepower of the city, and covered the main force to attack the city;
The Poxi army followed closely behind on camels and fired stone projectiles in an attempt to destroy part of the wall.
However, the condescending giant ballista hit the Western Xia people without a face, and the strong crossbow army had no way to deal with the Song army in the fortress hidden in the pit except for suppressing the crossbowmen at the head of the city.
In front of each ballista, there is also a huge rattan arc baffle, and a few stone projectiles that are lucky enough to pass over the rope net and wet raw cowhide are also bounced to the sides when they hit the ballista.
The firing range of the Poxi army was still short, and more than a dozen brave warriors drove the camels over the platform and rushed to the vicinity of the walled gate, trying to take advantage of the advantage of maneuverability to move and shoot.
However, the solidity of the hollow walled wall is far beyond the imagination of the Xia people.
Glass water, the soil curing agent used in the rescue of later generations, has long been sent into the wall by Su oil through the embedded bamboo pipe.
What they didn't know was that the first generation of ballistae in the Erlin Department played ballistas on ships.
Since then, striking moving targets, or hitting fixed targets on the move, has been a real combat subject for them.
Coupled with the help of the science and engineering team around him, he soon made the reckless Po Xijun taste great.
The five-pound porcelain bullet is wrapped in huge kinetic energy, even elephants can't carry it.
A camel narrowly escaped two porcelain bullets, but was hit in the head by a third porcelain bullet, and after the terrifying impact sounded, the huge camel's head turned into a blood mist, and countless skulls and teeth were scattered in all directions.
The camel turned into a headless monster and crashed to the ground, and the bloody porcelain projectile continued to fly for some distance, hitting the wooden platform and bouncing again, sweeping underneath a camel, breaking both of its legs, and finally crashing into the herd of crossbowmen, forcing its way through a passage of flesh.
The drums beat more and more fiercely in the rear, and more soldiers ignored the two white and one red standard arrow feathers flying in the air, ignored the falling colleagues around them, selflessly dragged the ladder, rushed to the wall, and then bit the steel knife, like ants before the rainstorm, frantically climbed towards the city.
The scene was terrible, and countless soldiers screamed for arrows, then fell to the base of the wall, and were trampled by their companions, climbing up the ladder.
Human life at this moment is inferior to ants.
Gradually, there were more and more ladders standing on the wall, and more and more people were clinging to the ladders.
A pot of golden soup was spilled, and the person who was about to reach the top of the wall was suddenly burned and let go of his hands to cover his head and face, instinctively making him forget the danger of his position, and fell from the air to the ground with a miserable scream.
Huge wooden stones, soaked in water to add weight, fell from the walls and rolled down ladders, killing or wounding in their path.
The villagers at the head of the city frantically stirred the winch together, retracted hundreds of catties of hoop to the cart, and shouted the trumpet to push the next ladder.
The remaining groups put away the ladder with hooks. Many people are too selfless under the vigorous secretion of adrenal glands, exposing their bodies and being shot by feathered arrows intertwined in the air.
The ambulance team rushed up and dragged them onto stretchers and carried them to the city.
