The Goryeo sergeant of Pingzhou looked nervously at the soldiers and horses of Liangshan under the city, and the ballistas, trebuchets and other siege weapons that they had never seen before made everyone's hearts tremble.

No one in the entire Pingzhou City from top to bottom had ever faced such a battle, and compared with the Jurchen tribe, the Liangshan army's weapons were much more deterrent and powerful, and they could only continue to use the city wall to cheer themselves up.

When the sun reached its highest point, the drums in the Liangshan army changed, and the attack began.

"Put!" "Put!!" "Launch !!"

With the change of the drum, a shout of higher than one almost crushed the drum, and the ballistas and trebuchets that had been waiting for a long time began to throw stone projectiles, and one by one the stone balls flew into the sky, and then smashed straight into Pingzhou City.

"Ahh "Help!" "Shield! Where is the shield!! ”

The shield was useless in the face of the stone balls weighing dozens of catties, and every time the stone ball hit the shield, the shield broke instantly, and the defenders below were even more killed next to each other, and they were injured when they rubbed it.

What's even worse is that these stone balls will still roll, and when they roll, it will be a bloody alley, and the people next to them are speechless.

"It's all stone balls, and the thief army is so rich." Jin Fushi said with some jealousy.

What Jin Fushi didn't know was that Jiang De's stone balls were not polished with real stones, but poured out of cement transported from the Song Dynasty.

The Goryeo defenders began to counterattack, and one by one crossbow arrows and stone projectiles began to be fired at the Yangsan army camp, and this was the time to compete in range.

The Goryeo defenders relied on the city walls, which increased the range of various long-range weapons out of thin air, while the weapons of the Yangsan army were more advanced, and for a time, there were casualties on both sides.

"All long-range weapons suppress the opponent's heavy ordnance first, and we are not in a hurry anyway." Jiang De said to Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu nodded yes, and after a while, the projectiles of the Liangshan army began to selectively pour down on those Goryeo ordnance.

"Report! The gate of the enemy outside the city was opened, as if they wanted to attack the flank of our army. ”

A spy Pegasus came to report.

"Summons Cheng Min, let them in for me, herald Hu Yanzhuo, get his chain horses ready, and run them over from the flank."

The flag flew, and on the flank of the Yangsan army, tens of thousands of Goryeo troops emerged, and these Goryeo troops could be seen from their outfits as the elite of the Goryeo army.

Almost all of these Goryeo troops were infantry, most of them were archers, and before the people arrived, a burst of bows and arrows flew in, fortunately, the Yangshan army already knew that the Goryeo army was good at shooting, and had already prepared a lot of shields for the front line, and the damage was not very big.

"For the king, rush!!"

The Goryeo army shouted slogans and rushed up, and Cheng Min, who was holding a big axe, kept shouting, "Hold it all for me, raise the spear for me, and prepare... Stab! ”

At the sound of an order, thousands of spears stabbed out at the same time, in the face of the spear of the stab, using a weapon to drive away such a difficult action can only be done by a few masters, most of them can only dodge, but it is useless to hide on the other side, there is also a spear waiting for you there, in an instant, the whole land will become blood red.

"Take it and go back!" Cheng Min shouted loudly, every time these pikemen stabbed once, they took a step back regardless of whether they were stabbed or not, and the sergeants who were originally in the back row followed up with the stab, and those who saw the Liangshan army retreated, thinking that the Goryeo army that had a cheap pickup was not happy for a while, and they were killed by round after round of assassination, if it weren't for the suppression advantage of the archers, these Goryeo troops would probably have to collapse if they didn't hold out for half a pillar of incense.

"I'm afraid that most of the casualties of our army are due to these archers." Jiang De looked at the battle situation, shook his head and sighed.

In later generations, many people felt that they could rely on the spear array to fight the world, and such tactics might really be able to defeat half of the country in the West, but in the East, I am afraid that they will be tortured to death by archers from all over the world when they go out.

The war in the East attaches great importance to bows and arrows, from the Warring States Period, the crossbow array of the Qin State dominates the Quartet, at this time the archers of the Song army account for nearly seventy percent of its establishment, and then to the Mongolian cavalry to conquer the world, the military power of the East is almost always long-range strike as the first priority.

The artillery doctrine of the PLA in later generations is not only because it has been bombed, but also because of the genes flowing in the blood.

Therefore, in actual combat, in the face of a large number of archers in the Goryeo army, Jiang De also felt distressed, these sergeants are all his team.

The retreat of the Yangsan army led these Goryeo troops to the belly of the Yangsan army formation, and the Goryeo generals who took the lead suddenly felt that something was wrong, this is too smooth, and after a while, it seems that they can attack the position where the siege ordnance is located.

"Whoa!!"

Suddenly, a running sound attracted him, he hurriedly turned back, and found that on his flanks, the Liangshan soldiers and horses who were still fighting suddenly retreated to the two wings, and a cavalry appeared in front of him, this cavalry was wearing iron armor all over his body, even his face was wearing face armor, and the war horse only showed two eyes, at a glance, it looked like a demon god.

"Heavy... Heavy Cavalry !! The Goryeo general's voice was out of tune, but no one felt ashamed of him, after all, such heavy cavalry represented invincibility and destruction on any battlefield.

"Brothers, kill them all, rush !!" The two generals at the head, each carrying two iron whips, took the lead in the charge, and the heavy cavalry behind them accelerated their speed, and in the eyes of the Goryeo army, it was as if a black mountain had pressed over.

"Run!!"

Screams and shouts arose, and there were also some brave sergeants who shot arrows at these cavalry or took spears and prepared to meet them, but the arrows hit the bodies of these monsters, and they only hung on them, and could not stop them at all, and even if they hit the eyes, these warriors who tied themselves to their horses did not fall, but lay on their horses, and let their horses take themselves and step on the enemy on the opposite side.

"Poof!" "Bang!" "Wow!"

Under the collision, I don't know how many people were knocked up by the huge impact, and I don't know how many people fell to the ground and were trampled to death by the horses' hooves, and as for those who died under the swords and guns, there were countless more of them, and in just an instant, these heavy cavalry were killed in the ranks of archers.

Those archers with bows and arrows were even more slaughtered in the face of these cavalry, only a few of them could calmly shoot arrows to fight back, and most of them ran away before they could be rushed.

The offensive of the Goryeo army coming to raid was disintegrated, and Jiang De looked at the city wall again, there were very few Goryeo defenders on the city wall, most of them were hiding, and the strength of the counterattack on the city wall gradually decreased.

"All artillery aimed at the city gates!" Jiang De suddenly looked at the almost, and ordered, and those guns began to adjust their angles.

"Bang the gates open for me!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!!"

The cannons of one gate were ignited, and one by one lead bullets flew out with flames, rushing straight towards the gate of Pingzhou City.

"Bang!" "Qua lala!"

Maybe today's luck is really not good, dozens of cannons actually did not hit the city gate, but all hit the city wall, shattering many bricks and tiles of the city wall to the ground, and the huge vibration can even be clearly felt by Wang Yu on the city wall.

"What kind of weapon is this? What do they want to do? "It's the first time Wang Mata has seen the power of artillery in this way, the last time the artillery bombarded the Goryeo army, because of the long distance, and mainly anti-personnel shells, Wang Mata couldn't feel it, but now, he can clearly understand the power of this weapon from the vibration transmitted to his feet.

"What's going on! Adjust the angle and put it again! ”

Jiang De shouted dissatisfied, and fired another salvo, this time four or five shells hit the gates of Pingzhou City, and the nails on those gates were blown up, and the entire city gate was smashed out of several large holes, and the Goryeo soldiers who blocked the gate behind the city gate were all smashed to death.

"Okay, that's it, keep put!"

Jiang De saw that the effect was so good, and shouted happily, those gunners were also full of strength when they heard it, and the speed of loading was much faster.

Shell after shell was like a strong man whipping the Korean girl in Pingzhou with a leather whip, and Jiang De's shelling did not stop until the cannon became red and could no longer be fired.

The gates of Pyeongju City had been opened wide, and none of the Goryeo soldiers dared to go down to block the gates, and in their eyes, there was no difference between it and hell.

"Back to camp!" Jiang De shouted loudly, the golden gong sounded loudly, and the sergeants in Pingzhou City suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, although they didn't know why the other party would withdraw their troops, but they could survive anyway.

The nearly 10,000 Goryeo troops who raided had all been wiped out in the military formation at this time, Hu Yanzhuo's armor changed from black to red, this good battle made Da Hu happy, and the reorganized chain horse also became iron-blooded and elite through this battle.

On the city wall, Wang Yu asked puzzledly, "Why did the thief army withdraw?" At such a time, the thief army is attacking the city, and our army may not be able to resist it at all. ”

Jin Fushi touched a cannonball that was sent up, and said while feeling the residual temperature in the cannonball, "I'm afraid that the thief army wants to contain us and prevent us from rescuing Huangzhou, it's not that the thief army can't attack the city, but they don't want to have too much loss..."

"What should our army do?" Wang Yu hurriedly asked.

Jin Fushi thought for a while and said, "I originally wanted to rely on the city wall to contain the thief army, but now it seems that the thief army does not have the strength to fight with our army, but wants to minimize casualties. King, please send a letter to Niufeng County, without the grain and grass of Huangzhou, they can't support it for long. ”

Wang Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll immediately order Tuo Junjing to send troops!" ”

In the next two days, the entire Pingzhou battlefield is like a siege equipment research and development center, all kinds of long-range siege equipment of the Liangshan army are on the field here, and even Jin Fushi also found that these siege equipment seems to be constantly improving, and various tactics are also emerging, the defensive equipment on Pingzhou City is not the opponent of these siege equipment at all, especially those artillery, from the very beginning of the straight line shooting to the curve shooting, which can make the range longer, I don't know that the Liangshan army finally came from so many excellent shooters, The trajectory of the curved shot can be easily calculated, so that many trebuchets placed under the city walls are smashed squarely.

As for the trebuchets and ballistae of the Liangshan Army, not to mention, a barrage from left to right, and then from right to left, is simply training.

The Goryeo army also thought about going out of the city to counterattack, but the thousands of chain horses and tens of thousands of archers were there, and no one was willing to send them to death.

- Two days later

A bloodied sergeant was helped into the Pingzhou City Palace, and Wang Yu, whose eyes were red, looked at the sergeant, stood up and asked, "Niufeng County can send troops?" ”

The sergeant shook his head, knelt on the ground, wiped his eyes, and didn't know whether he was wiping sweat or tears, he said, "King, Niufeng County is empty, and there is not a single soldier in the entire city!" ”

"What?"

The civil and military ministers in the entire hall all looked incredible.

"Where is Tuo Junjing? Is it a retirement? Wang Zizhi asked loudly.

"My brothers and I went to Niufeng County, and found that there were already people in the city, so we asked the local people to inquire, only to know that as early as half a month ago, Tuo Junjing went north with the army, and we wanted to catch up and investigate, but we were ambushed, and only one of the lowly people escaped from the siege and escaped."

"To the north?" Jin Fushi's eyes rolled, and then he exclaimed, "Not good! This guy is going to Xijing, I'm afraid that Xijing has fallen into his hands at this time! ”

"What? How can it be? Wang Yu was scared out of cold sweat, if Xijing fell into the hands of Tuo Junjing, wouldn't his back road be completely cut off?

"Could it be that Tuo Junjing has joined the thief army?" Wang Zizhi's hammer chest said, "This guy was originally Li Ziqian's henchman general, I'm afraid it was just a fraud last time, the old man has already said that this kind of thief must not be trusted!" ”

"That's not right!" Jin Fushi shook his head and said, "If the thief army and Tuo Junjing unite, then Tuo Junjing should not go north, but should go straight to the rear of our army and join forces with the thief army to attack the city, and then our army will be all here." ”

"Then you say, where is this Tuo Junjing?" Wang Zizhi asked.

Jin Fushi walked up to the map hanging on the wall and kept thinking, then suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Jurchen! ”

"What?" Wang Yu asked puzzled.

"This Tuo Junjing must have taken refuge in the Jurchens, and I am afraid that now the entire northern front has fallen into the hands of the Jurchens." Jin Fushi said with a frightened face: "Our army has exhausted the northern army here, the Great Wall is extremely empty, and the Jurchens are now attacking the city everywhere, wouldn't they be tempted to see such an opportunity?"

Tuo Junjing had fought with the Jurchens in the past, and it is not surprising that some connections were made, five days ago when the thief army crossed the river, I am afraid that he got the news at that time, judging that our army could not defeat the thief army, and what he had done before also made it impossible for him to join the thief army, so he hit it off with the Jurchens and went north to join the Jurchens. ”

Wang Zizhi asked incomprehensibly, "Even so, I'm afraid it will take some time for him and the Jurchens to come and go, how can he make a decision so quickly." ”

Jin Fushi said with a gloomy face, "I'm afraid that the Jurchens have already begun to attack the Great Wall after our army comes to Pingzhou, Tuo Junjing knows the news, and judges that our army is under siege from two roads, and only one way to die and destroy the country is to take Xijing as his strength." ”
