Chapter 211: The Steam Crossbow Strikes

Jin Guo, this is a brand new enemy.

Brother Li Cha, the king of the Western Xia Jin Dynasty, was the younger brother of the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, and his literary and martial arts were all the best choices. After receiving a letter of help from Emperor Tianzuo, Li Qianshun immediately brought his younger brother to discuss countermeasures.

To save or not to save, the Western Xia Emperor couldn't make up his mind.

Although the Empress of Western Xia is Yelu Nanxian, she is surnamed Yelu and is the daughter of the Liao clan. Yelu Yanxi is Li Qianshun's father-in-law, but where the country talks about relatives and blood, everything is all about interests.

Even though Yelu Nanxian advocated sending troops to rescue him as soon as possible, Li Qianshun was not moved at all. If the military affairs were also subject to women, Western Xia would have been finished long ago, how could it survive until now.

He called his brother, and the two of them closed the door and thought carefully.

They didn't expect that the emperor of Liao would be beaten away by the Jin people, and they ran so far that they all ran all the way from Zhongjing of Liao to the Western Xia frontier. This distance is basically running from Chifeng to Yinchuan.

That's a long way off.

The Emperor of Jin was beaten by a bone, and Li Qianshun heard a little.

The former Wanyan Department was only one of the many servants of the Liao State. They are the slaves of the Liao State, providing all kinds of good things and beautiful women for the Liao State every year.

How could such a tribe, in just a few years, not only establish a country, but also cripple the powerful Liao State.

Judging from Emperor Tianzuo's actions, Zhongjing of Liao must have been lost. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made it all the way here.

Doesn't this mean that the Liao State was basically wiped out?

Such a powerful country, it's all over when it's finished? The Li brothers found it incredible.

They know the majesty of the Liao Kingdom! Otherwise, why would Li Qianshun rather ask for marriage from the Liao State than from the Great Song Dynasty?

Because he felt that Western Xia couldn't beat Da Liao, but he could withstand the Great Song Dynasty.

Now this big country, which he has to look up to, is suddenly gone, and was defeated by the Jin State, the small Wanyan Department, and the defeat was so miserable, not only did he lose the capital, but even the emperor of the Liao State was panicked like a lost dog, and ran out of thousands of miles at once, so as to avoid the Jin soldiers.

So how powerful is Jin Bing?

This made Li Qianshun inevitably muttered in his heart. If the Jin soldiers hit the Western Xia, what should they do?

Brother Richard is also a hero in the world, although he is too lascivious, but it is a personal matter, in official affairs, he is worthy of the king of Western Xia and Jin.

Faced with his brother's suspicions, Richard immediately suggested sending troops.

He cited several facts.

First, if he didn't send troops, the Jin soldiers would kill Emperor Tianzuo on the border of Western Xia, what good would this do to Western Xia? There is no benefit at all - does the land of the Liao State dare to ask for it?

Second, the emperor of the Liao State died, and the Liao State could be said to be gone. For so many years, there had been a great deal of peace between the Western Xia and the Liao Kingdom, and this situation was what the Western Xia needed. If the Liao State was gone, the Western Xia would be neighbors with the Jin State. Whether it's a good neighbor or a bad neighbor, no one knows. So in that case, why not keep the Liao State to exist? It's one of the best buffers.

Third, the Western Xia has recently been promoting the culture of the Great Song Dynasty. In this way, according to reason, the father-in-law is in trouble, and the son-in-law cannot see death without help. Otherwise, it can't be justified.

So troops must be sent.

And there are many benefits to sending troops.

First of all, it is the unity of words and deeds. The son-in-law saves his father-in-law, takes advantage of the reason, and follows the righteousness, and everyone in the world will look up to Xixia.

Secondly, the Jin State destroyed the Liao State, and according to this trend, sooner or later it will be the opponent of the Western Xia. Instead of waiting for Jin Guo to come over and fight him with full wings and full preparations, it is better to take advantage of the fact that there are still some remnants of the Liao State now, and the Jin soldiers have been marching for many days and are physically tired, so they will be caught off guard by beating him.

Winning this battle will not only enhance the military prestige of Western Xia, but more importantly, it can directly observe the reality of the Jin soldiers, and at the same time deter the ambitions of the Jin people!

Tell Wanyan Aguda clearly, our Xixia is not easy to mess with.

Li Qianshun clapped his hands again and again after listening, what his brother said was so right, so good! That's it! Troops now!

Brother Richard ordered 3,000 men and horses, hurried and hurried, and finally met Emperor Tianzuo here, and at the same time faced the Jin soldiers led by Yelu Yujian.

The Liao State and the Western Xia coalition army were arrayed in front, and Richard Brother rode on a horse, standing on a dirt slope behind the array, looking condescendingly ahead.

This is what the army of the Kingdom of Jin looks like! It was the first time that Richard had seen the troops of the Jin State, especially the army that had defeated the powerful Liao State, and he had to watch carefully.

This army was different from the army of Western Xia, and it was also different from the army of Liao.

They don't look like soldiers.

This is Richard's most intuitive feeling. It confused him a bit. Such a powerful army, although it only has about 4,000 people, but it chased Yelu Yanxi, who had the advantage in numbers, ran thousands of miles, with what did it rely on?

He thought for a moment, and suddenly understood.

The army of the Kingdom of Jin was not like the soldiers he knew, but more like a collection of wild beasts. That kind of unruly temperament, even if it is restrained by military uniforms, exudes from time to time.

They are more like beasts than soldiers!

No wonder there is such force. If you are yourself, you can't please a group of tigers and leopards.

Richard deserves to be a real celebrity. He immediately saw the essence of the army of the Kingdom of Jin.

In the process of destroying Liao, the reason why the Jin State was so powerful was closely related to this barbarism.

They are really survivors of fighting wild beasts in the deep mountains and forests, and their skills are by no means comparable to ordinary humans.

Even the blind bears can't kill them, can the Liao people do it?

Richard felt that the Western Xia army was also enough. But he wasn't worried, because he still had a trump card in his hand - the Poxi Army.

No matter how ferocious the Jin soldiers are, they must first welcome a rain of stones. Even bears, wolves, tigers and leopards can't withstand the fist-sized, raindrop-dense blows of stones.

The range of the Ponxi's attack is more than double that of a bow and arrow, and even longer than the range of a crossbow.

At this distance, Jin Bing could only be beaten and could not fight back - there was no weapon that could reach him, and such a battle situation was what Richard needed.

"Order, the Ponxi army attacked."

Richard issued the first order.

The herald quickly waved his flag, and the Western Xia Poxi army behind the array immediately launched an offensive.

Their weapon was stones, fist-sized stones flew up from behind the array like swarms, drew a wonderful parabola, and fell rapidly at the highest point, smashing into the golden soldiers like a rain of stones.

Yelu Yu also stood behind his own battle array. The raindrops of stones were far away from him, and he didn't have to worry about his safety at all.

The golden soldiers who can fight here are all the most elite veterans. Even if he used to be a recruit, when he arrived here, after thousands of miles of pursuit and hundreds of battles, he has grown into a veteran.

In the face of the rain of stones, no one panicked. They were all wearing armor, even the infantry was also wearing iron armor, plus huge shields, one after another continued into a shield array, the first wave of stones smashed down, except for a few unlucky ones who were smashed into their skins, and a few who were smashed and broken, none of them were stoned to death.

This has to say that Jin Bing is tough. The swarm-like rain of stones is like a small landslide in the future. Jin Bing is in the center of the collapse, but no one is dead, if there is no strong to the point of perverted physical strength, how can he resist such a large amount of energy.

Brother Richard looked at it from a distance, and saw that the first wave of attacks had no effect, and his heart was a little unsteady.

In the past, when the Poxi army faced the Great Song army, just this wave of stone rain could make the opponent's tight formation become potholes - there would always be some Song soldiers who were stoned to death and wounded and fell in the front.

Now the Jin soldiers on the opposite side are still a complete shield array, which shows that the Jin soldiers are not a little stronger than the Song army. This physical strength alone has far surpassed that of Song Jun. What's more, there is actually more courage and discipline here.

Human instinct makes everyone subconsciously want to protect themselves more. It's just that in the battle array, if everyone thinks like this, then the shield array is like a broken fish scale, and it will inevitably show loopholes.

If the stone enters through the loophole, the sergeant will not be able to carry it even if he is wearing armor.

A large part of the Song army's casualties were due to the fact that the instinct of fear prevailed over the discipline of the army, and everyone wanted to cover more of themselves and less of others, so there was a loophole in the whole and caused greater casualties.

But the Jin soldiers are not, they have no concept of selfishness at all, and they all follow the training requirements, connecting the shields left and right in turn, and there is not even a fist-sized gap in the middle, which makes them extremely safe.

It's weird! Brother Richard couldn't figure out how Jin Bing could do this. Even if you change the Western Xia army, you can't do it.

If he could ask Yelu Yujian, he would have known the answer.

Because Wanyan is really just a tribe. The development of this space-time is asynchronous and unbalanced everywhere.

When the Great Song Dynasty was already "the willow shore and the waning moon", Wanyanbu was still playing with bears in the deep mountains and old forests. They don't talk about poetry, they don't even have words. This is the wild primitive man.

But the more primitive it is, the more primitive the selfless spirit. Hunting is an activity that must be cooperated, just like true primitive people, some people drive them, some people set traps, and some people fight head-on. It's a real group.

In this group, both superhuman bravery and selfless cooperation are required. These two points have led to the fact that the quality of the current Jin soldiers far exceeds that of their contemporaries.

They are not afraid of death, they are brave, and they also have a strong spirit of cooperation.

If there was no such team, how could the powerful Liao State be destroyed in such a short time.

Stone rain, drizzle only.

However, the stones were not raindrops after all, and although they did not cause real casualties, they completely stopped the advance of the Jin soldiers.

This shield array can't move forward, and there will be loopholes when it moves.

Being beaten and not fighting back is not the character of Jin Guoren!

Yelu Yu looked at the two people on the hillside in the distance, his fists clenched tightly! He doesn't care who is around Yelu Yanxi, he only wants Yelu Yanxi's life.

This distance is already within the range of the steam crossbow.

Yelu Yu caressed the cold steel base, looked at the rapidly spinning flywheel, and put the first crossbow arrow with his own hands!

This crossbow arrow is more than half a human length, the thickness of an egg, and manpower will definitely not be able to throw it in a few steps. But on this steam crossbow it's completely different.

The long, heavy bolt is like a child's toy, and with the push of the switch, the bolt can fly over a long distance and plunge into the enemy's chest!

Yelu Yu couldn't help but think of two people in his heart.

Princess Yu Liyan, I want to avenge your mother! And that princess's lover, what is Qin Mu's, if you know in the future that you made a steam crossbow, the first to ask for Yelu Yanxi's life, will you feel very honored?

If Qin Mu knew Yelu Yujian's thoughts, he would have to shoot him!

I just want Emperor Tianzuo to live, how can you live and die against me.

However, Qin Mu was not by Yelu Yujian's side, so he couldn't stop all this at all.

Yelu Yujian is the supreme commander of this golden army, and his order is the supreme order.

What's more, he didn't give orders, but pressed the switch with his own hands! He will shoot this arrow himself, and he will take the life of Yelu Yanxi's dog with his own hands!

The arrows that transcended the times roared out, and in the blink of an eye, they flew over the Golden Soldier Front and came to the sky above the Allied Front!

Yelu Yanxi and Brother Richard were suddenly shocked!

What the hell is this, it can hit so far and look so ferocious.

The power of a steam crossbow is much greater than that of a trebuchet, and the speed of a crossbow is naturally far greater than that of a stone.

The Emperor of Liao and the younger brother of the Western Xia Emperor, facing the epoch-making weapon, stiffened their whole bodies for a while, and they were completely unable to make any movements.

It was so sudden, so incredible. Originally, with their skills, they could have run. However, whether a man or a horse runs, the speed of a crossbow is not worth mentioning.

Brother Richard reluctantly raised the shield in front of him, whether he could save his life, it was not guaranteed.

Emperor Tianzuo didn't even make this move. He didn't even have a shield. As an emperor, how can you bring that thing! Loss of identity!

The whistling sound came harshly, and Emperor Tianzuo had only one thought in his heart: that strange bird, he had no chance to catch it!
