Chapter 300: Tragic Song

War can always reflect the gap in science and technology, and the high walls of Yanzhou City are like a large meat grinder, constantly harvesting the lives of party members.

Yanzhou City, which was armed by the craftsmen of the armament division, turned into a huge flesh and blood grinding disc, constantly squeezing the flesh and blood of the party members, one shot and three swords and arrows of the eight ox crossbows ruthlessly harvested life, and the huge iron crossbow arrows instantly pierced through three or four party members, and this was not the end, rolling on the ground like a sugar gourd.

"Eight Bull Crossbow!" As the party members shouted, the ranks became loose, and this was the only way for the party members to deal with the eight-bull crossbow.

A dark cloud of black pressure pressed over, and the slightly experienced warrior roared in horror: "Arrow array! Raise your shield! ”

The black clouds hit the ground with a terrible whistling sound, and the swishing sound passed overhead, and the party members desperately held their shields and shrunk their bodies as much as they could.

The Tibetan army is still the waist crossbow, and the crossbow, and the border army is also a slightly better rhubarb crossbow, crossbow arrows to defend the city is the most practical method, and the defenders are still shooting from top to bottom on the high city wall, both from the field of vision, or the strength is beyond the reach of the party under the city.

The high battlements and the female wall gave the most advantageous protection to the defending army, and the lightly armed crossbowmen were constantly replaced, with three rows as a battle sequence, and the crossbow arrows poured out from the battlements in a steady stream, and the battle to defend the city was the battle of the soldiers to block the water and come to the earth.

When the crashing car covered with animal skins drove under the city gate, Rat San anxiously shouted to the master: "Li Deming sent dozens of crash cars to capture the city gate!" With gunpowder bullets, right? ”

The master craftsman rolled his eyes: "It's too early, it's just some wooden crashes, the boulder can be destroyed, send someone to unfold the bucket truck that is ready, a few boulders can not only destroy its vehicle, but also hinder the same road, why not?" ”

Rat San nodded slightly, and shouted to his soldiers to unfold the huge bucket truck, which was made by craftsmen who had been busy for three nights, and several logs were used up for the main beam alone, the most important of which was removed from the roof of the state government's yamen......

The long arm of the bucket truck is like an arm swing under the connection of pulleys and gears, and the huge stone is easily lifted after being tied, and on the top of the head of the crash, the rat three cut the rope hard, and the boulder slammed down, and the car was torn apart instantly, and the soldiers in the car were afraid that they had already become meat cakes, and the blood was like a spring water coming out of the edge of the stone and soon merged into a stream.

However, the party members quickly found a way to deal with it, attacking the observers of the bucket truck, the bow and crossbow arrows had a target, and the extended observation point was covered, but for the accuracy of the bucket, the Great Song soldiers could only wear heavy foot armor to observe.

The advantages and disadvantages of defending and besieging the city were immediately reflected, and the defenders relied on the city wall to kill the enemy easily, but the space on the city wall was limited, and many harvest equipment were already overcrowded, and it was impossible for the defenders of 60,000 people to be piled up on the city wall, so the rat three arranged a rotation system, and it was impossible to wait for a team of people to die and then replace the reserves.

This will not only reduce casualties, but also allow the defenders to take turns to rest and improve their combat effectiveness!

The advantage of the party members attacking the city is also obvious, the huge battlefield outside the city can fully accommodate the attack of tens of thousands of people, and countless ladders are set up on the battlements, but they are greeted by burnt lead water and hot oil.

The party members screamed and fell, but before the defenders cheered, more ladders were erected up, fortunately there was a long push rod at the battlement, the defenders shouted under the shouting of the trumpet, and poked the long push rod out, even if there were more people on the ladder, they could not hold down the ladder, and fell from the high ladder under the action of gravity, and they were shot by the crossbow arrows on the city wall before they could struggle with blood.

Such a tragic scene like hell on earth did not make the party retreat, but aroused their ferocity, screaming and shouting to lay the ladder again to attack the city wall, and even used the method of exchanging lives for lives, in order to let the clansmen behind them climb the wall smoothly.

At this time, both sides have already killed the red eyes, where can there be a lot of control, all kinds of vicious methods have been used, Rat San ordered the defenders to pour fierce fire oil under the city wall, the so-called fierce fire oil is distilled and purified oil, the masters of the armament division call the lighter oil clear oil, and the remaining residue is called heavy oil.

The characteristic of clear oil is that the fire is fierce and ignites at a moment's notice, and the water does not extinguish and burns more and more!

Heavy oil also has characteristics, although it is not as easy to ignite as clear oil, but once ignited, it will not die, and the temperature is many times that of clear oil, and the people of the Armaments Department have also found that such heavy oil is the best quality fuel for steel production.

And after burning, you can also get an extremely viscous sand, the official said that this is called tar sand, and it is the most suitable for paving roads......

The viscous heavy oil was poured under the city and attached to the body of the party members, this thing is easy to occupy, but if you want to remove it, it is extremely difficult, the ignition point of this oil is high, and it is not easy to ignite, but with the help of clear oil, it is difficult to extinguish, as long as it is contaminated a little, unless the skin and flesh are cut, don't want to extinguish.

The merciless flames were like maggots on tarsal bones, and the party members fled in horror after discovering this characteristic, and the slightest contamination on their bodies was cut off with knives and knives, and many disabled people were suddenly added to the party members.

The more wounded there are on the battlefield, the lower the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

Moreover, under the use of clear oil and heavy oil, the party people have a boundless fear of this kind of fire that cannot be extinguished, and they who advocate Buddhism believe that the flame of the Song people is the legendary red lotus fire, otherwise how can the water not be extinguished, and the fight will be more and more intense?

But the merciless truth shattered their fears, and they were still willing to die in battle than starved to death, even if they were burned to death by the nameless fire, it was better to starve to death.

The fear of hunger left an imprint on the soul of every party member, and they almost always fought hunger from childhood to adulthood, until the king led his troops to conquer the Western Regions, and this hunger torture was over.

There is not much food in the pocket, this is a knot that constantly stimulates the nerves of the party members, the military food consumption rate of 100,000 people is amazing, the grain reserves in the accounts of various ethnic groups are almost not much, and Hongzhou City, which is used as a rear grain and grass transfer, has been attacked by the strange soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

Hundreds of thousands of party members almost all know what this means, if they don't take Yanzhou City, the 100,000 army will face the dilemma of having no rice to cook, but even if they want to take back Hongzhou City, it is impossible.

The population base of 100,000 people is too large, compared to the Song people are much more comfortable, they have tall and strong city walls, there is a lot of stored grain, there is living water from the ground, all this is simply heaven in the eyes of the party people, compared to their wind and food, the Song army guarding the city is comfortable at home.

Using the outdated logic of the party members, they think that if they don't have good things, they will plunder, and it is a natural thing to rob in the thinking logic of nomads, just like the sheep on the grassland eat grass and the wolf eats sheep, which is a normal truth.

It is also a matter of course that the party people robbed the Song people, because their horses are not as fast as the party items, their men are not as brave as the party men, and their bodies are not as strong as the party members, so they deserve to be bullied.

But they don't know the terrible thousand-year-old inheritance of the farming nation, because the farming nation is much more stable than the nomadic people, whether it is knowledge, experience, wisdom, science and technology or even history, it can be passed on, while the nomads in comparison to the land of China flickered and disappeared, even the powerful nomads will be eliminated by the long river of history.

The Huns should have lasted the longest, but they only perished after the Qin and Han dynasties, and the Turks were slaughtered by the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty, and only the Han people survived some ethnic minorities, which is the choice of history and evolution.

The battle situation in Yanzhou City intensified, the corpses under the city piled up, the blood and water gathered into a small river, and the sound screamed into the sound of death, until nightfall, Li Deming ordered the army to retreat and regroup, and the defending soldiers were also tired and collapsed on the city wall.

The more advanced the technology, the more casualties in the war, and the more difficult it is to be treated, Rat San looked at the corpses all over the mountains under the city and sighed slightly, the situation in the city is actually not much better, and there are many seriously injured soldiers, this is not Tokyo City, as the state capital, all the doctors in Yanzhou City have been requisitioned, but unfortunately there are still not enough people.

In the originally silent night, the screams and moans inside and outside the city converged into a sad melody that continued to echo in the sky, and the melodious Qiang flute was blown out, but the Qiang flute was full of sad wails......
