Chapter 656: Day and Night, Crossing the River Can't Be Stopped (Second Update)
Chapter 656
"This kind of weapon, why have I never seen the Song people use it before, for the past few years, my Great Xia has been at war with the Song people, and I have never seen it when the last general accompanied the traitor Liang to attack the Song people in Huanzhou." One of the generals stood up and said with emotion.
His surname is Ye Ci Mu Kun, and he is one of the eight clans of the party. He had previously attacked Suide City with Liang Yikui, and then attacked Huanzhou with the army.
It's just that after the battle of Hongdezhai, he returned to Hongzhou with Liang Yikui, but on that day when Liang Yikui wanted to kill the general and seize power, this guy happened to not enter the city due to illness.
When Liang Yikui sent troops to attack the camp outside the city, the troops around him saw the opportunity early and helped him escape from the camp and headed towards Yanzhou.
In the end, he met the army led by Sachen in the middle of the road, and was finally appointed by Sachen to be the commander of the defeated army that had been gathered, in the hope that he would be able to atone for his crimes.
It's just that now it seems that there is not much hope for this will be reversed.
"Oh? General Yeci, you have always been on the front line of the battlefield, but if you have any news, tell it, and you will have a bottom in your heart. "Fei Tingda Rong looks down on this product a little.
But at this time, it is necessary to have a person who can provide first-hand information, and he is also a person who participated in the previous battle of Liang Yikui's attack on the Song State, so he should know more things.
Hearing Fei Tingda Rong's words, this guy suddenly came to his senses. "My lord, I don't know if you have noticed the kind of crossbow arm crossbow that Song Jun is holding now?"
"That kind of crossbow, whether it is the Suide army or the previous battle, has never been seen before, and it only appeared after Su Dongpo led the Song forbidden army to help."
"The range of that kind of crossbow is no less than the Song people's most proud divine arm crossbow, in addition, there is also the kind of iron armor of the Song army composed of large pieces of armor, which is difficult to damage with swords and arrows, and it was also only after the appearance of the Song forbidden army."
"And the Song people seem to have mastered a new building material, if our army destroys the wall of the Song people, it only takes one night, the Song people can use that building material to repair as before, and its solidity can definitely be described as solid as a rock......
With the words of this wild general, instead of a sudden realization, or a feeling of gain, the big guy's mood became more and more heavy.
In the end, Fei Tingda Rong couldn't listen anymore, and quickly interrupted Ye Ci Mu Kun's speech. "Well, the old man now knows pretty much everything. It seems that over the years, the Song people have been on the defensive, not because they are afraid of the power of our Western Xia soldiers, but because they are recuperating. ”
"These new weapons and armor have now become the talisman of my Xixia Erlang......"
"No wonder I said, why can't the 60,000 elites under Niangniang's command break through a hastily built defense line, it turns out that the roots are here."
"Maybe the kind of stone throwing machine is also a new type of stone throwing machine developed by the Song people over the years. Because in the past, it was impossible for the stone throwers of the Song people to throw such huge stones over such a long distance. ”
The generals are all discussing enthusiastically, but the more they discuss, the more they feel that the eggs hurt, no matter how you look at the past, you can barely see the battle of defending the city, and the field battle is definitely the Song army that was taken by the Western Xia Iron Cavalry in minutes, how did it suddenly become strong and even strong.
Previously, the air raids carried out when they were harassed by the firearms of the Song army, the combat effectiveness of the iron cavalry of the Song army wearing new iron armor seemed to be no less than that of the Western Xia.
After being obtained by the Song army, and becoming the iron harrier equipped by the Song army, it also caused heavy casualties to the Western Xia iron cavalry who participated in the raid.
It seems that it was not until that time that the Western Xia realized that if the advantages of equipment and mounts were discarded, it seemed that the gap between the Great Xia Erlang and the Song people did not seem to be much.
And when the military equipment of the Song people began to surpass that of Great Xia, for example, now, whether it is Fei Ting Darong or the twenty or so generals, they are deeply aware of it.
Facing the Song army with ultra-long-range weapons, either they rushed forward to face it with their lives, or they simply went as far as those damn Song people could go.
In particular, the kind of stones thrown down by the heavy stone thrower, or the kind of deafening things thrown by the bed crossbow, made those Western Xia warriors who had always been self-sustaining and brave in the past unable to raise the slightest sense of resistance, because it was definitely not a terrible weapon that could be solved and faced by personal force.
At this time, it was close to noon, so everyone simply put the meeting on hold and ate and drank, but they didn't wait for them to have a peaceful dinner.
There was a messenger who came to report in a panic, and outside the south gate, four wooden minarets were erected, it seems that the Song people should have carried the stone thrower that destroyed the west gate to the south gate and is being assembled.
A military general couldn't help but stand up anxiously and asked Fei Ting Darong for help. "Are they trying to trap us here? Adults can't go on like this. The last general is willing to lead the sons out and destroy their things. ”
"Do you think the brothers still have that strength? Song Gou's harassment day and night in the past few days has made the soldiers already tired and inhuman, and you still let them fight against the Song army?! Another general raised objections.
Soon, the main battle and the main defender suddenly quarreled, and Fei Ting's face became darker and darker.
"Everyone, everyone!" In the end, Fei Ting Darong stopped the noise of these people and cleared his throat. "Now is not the time to discuss this, but the time to speed up the construction of rafts and the crossing of the Wuding River, which cannot be stopped, day or night."
"My lord, crossing the river at night, the ice in the river is unknown, it will be very dangerous and difficult." The general who presided over the affairs of crossing the river said with an embarrassed expression.
"It's very dangerous, how can this old man not know, but otherwise, how can you speed up the speed of crossing the river, do you really think that those Song people really just use their weapons to destroy a city gate?" Fei heard Da Rong sigh and said.
"Don't forget, we are now, the explosion sound made by the Song army has harassed the scene for five days, and the soldiers are exhausted, and now, the city gate has been destroyed, and the cavalry that we rely on in Great Xia has no way to break out of the city,"
"When the three city gates will be blocked, it is very likely that the Song army will start a tentative attack, but with the current morale of our army and the physical strength of the soldiers, it is best to shrink the defense line as much as possible to ensure that more Xixia Erlang can cross the river, instead of the whole army being wiped out in this damn ancient city of Wuyan, do you understand?"
