Chapter 660

The smoke and dust were billowing out, in early spring, the snow was still covering, and the Song army lined up in a neat queue, and had already advanced to a place less than fifty steps away from the city wall to stand still, and then, with the sound of the officers' orders, raised the single long-range weapon that the Great Song Dynasty was most proud of: the crossbow.

Rows of crossbow arrows, taking advantage of their range far beyond the range of Western Xia bows and arrows, began to shoot towards the city, and the crossbow arrows fell one after another like rain hitting plantains. The soldiers who forced the Western Xia had to turn to the rear with grievances.

There were even quite a few soldiers who were pierced into hedgehogs by those sharp crossbow arrows on the way to retreat.

At the moment when the Song crossbowmen scattered the rain of arrows, thirty paces behind them, a new walled wall was slowly erected.

Further on, two Yuanyu stone throwers that have been disassembled into parts are being assembled.

The other two Yuanyou stone-throwing vehicles remained in place and continued to exert their tremendous destructive power and deterrent power. As long as they continued to shoot, not even a single Western Xia soldier had the courage to raise a knife and charge head-on the Song army.

Presumably, their continued attack will definitely not stop until the two Yuanyu stone throwers that are already being assembled in front of the formation are assembled, and after that, they will definitely move their positions to the ruined eastern city wall of the ancient city of Wuyan.

At that time, nearly half of the city will be covered by this terrifying ranged weapon.

"My lord, you can't let them set up all those stone-throwing machines, once they wait for them to set up these stone-throwing machines, more than half of the ancient city of Wuyan will become under their control, and at that time......" Mi Shengyong couldn't help but be anxious, and said to Fei Ting Darong.

At that time, let alone organizing an attack, I am afraid that it will become very difficult to resist stubbornly, tens of thousands of horses, can only die here in aggrieved battles, then, this ancient city of Wuyan will inevitably become a place of shame for the Great Xia Kingdom, and also become a place of fame for the achievements of the Song Kingdom.

Fei Tingda Rong stroked his gray beard and nodded slowly. "There is some truth in what you said, but the best time is not now, but after the Song people have put those stone throwers near the city wall and set them up, they will attack with dead soldiers and destroy them in one fell swoop."

At that time, presumably if the Song people want to repair it again, it will take at least several days of effort, so that at least nearly 10,000 more horses can cross the river.

After making a decision in his heart, Fei Ting Darong turned his head, his gaze wandering over the many generals, and finally landed on one of them. "Ah Chang, give you five thousand warriors, and tell them that the old man will personally pay tribute to His Majesty, and their families, children and grandchildren will be well taken care of, but if any of them dare to take a step back...... Punished for the crime of rebellion before the army, understand? ”

When a powerful general next to him heard this, his face couldn't help but turn dark, extremely ugly, but when he saw Fei Ting Darong's appearance, even if he was sent to death, he could only bite the bullet. Xia Lu, the former rebel of the army, should not only be punished, but also the family will be stripped of their nationality and enslaved by others.

"The last general obeys the order, if you can't destroy a few stone throwers of the Song people, then the last general won't have to come back." After giving a deep bow, Ah Chang turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait, not now, but tonight, after those Song troops have set up the stone throwers outside the city, you lead the army to try to pass the obstacles in the night, no matter what, you must destroy those Song army stone throwers. Please......" Fei Ting Darong patted General Achang on the shoulder and sighed.

Ah Chang nodded heavily, said no more, and rushed straight to the camp to select the most fierce warriors who were not afraid of death.

When the two Yuanyou stone throwing machines were set up and began to throw stones into the city in turn, the Western Xia army in the city had already withdrawn outside the range of the Song army in advance.

Tens of thousands of horses, crowded on the east side of the small ancient city of Wuyan, make it full. Even those war horses were driven to the northeast and southeast corners at this moment, leaving more space for the army.

"Alright, these two stone throwers stop firing and start dismantling." Wang Yang put down the telescope in his hand and gave a new order.

Soon, the craftsmen began to get busy, carefully carrying out the heavy objects in the balance hammer weighing 10,000 catties.

Compared to loading it inside, it is more difficult to take it out of it, but as long as these four stone throwers can fire at the ancient city of Wuyan in turn, there will be thunder in the sky from time to time.

"Wang Wushan, Zhe is a little worried that the Xixia people will sneak attack by night, otherwise, how about letting the Yuanyou stone thrower retreat back for a distance?" Zhi Keshi stood beside Wang Yang, thought about it and suggested.

"You can't go back any longer, if you retreat, the range of the Yuanyou stone thrower will not be able to pose a threat to most of the ancient city of Wuyan." After thinking about it, Wang Yang finally shook his head and explained.

"And you don't need to worry too much, those weapons that we haven't used before, when the time comes, it will be just a surprise to those Xixia people who intend to destroy our Yuanyou stone throwing machine, and it is a big surprise." Wang Yang turned his head and pointed to the neatly arranged things not far away.

Zhe Keshi's eyes also fell to that side, where ten pulling stone throwers were neatly arranged, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. "Are you trying to move these over?"

"Of course, you can't just let them stay here and be useless, right? The range of these 10 pull-type stone-throwing vehicles is about 1,120 to 100 steps, and each stone-throwing vehicle can throw dozens of pounds of rocks. ”

"If those Tangut people want to sneak attack at night, I believe that when the rocks fall like raindrops, their mood will definitely become very unbeautiful."

"What's more, there are five thousand crossbowmen and these ten stone-throwing mechanisms to build a defensive line, and when those Western Xia soldiers and horses who came to sneak attack trekked through those ruins with difficulty and rushed to the front, isn't there still the Great Song Iron Cavalry commanded by Lao Zhe?"

Zhi Keshi finally let go of his thoughts, nodded and smiled. "Since this is the case, then I am relieved, in this way, how about Zhe Mou think that he should also let the army from the north and south also advance to the ancient city of Wuyan for a distance?"

"You are the main general, and you are more experienced than me in arranging troops, so the subordinate will naturally listen to you for such a thing." Wang Yang smiled and did not object.

Throughout the following day, the Western Xia soldiers in the ancient city of Wuyan became more and more frightened, even if they had already gathered in the eastern part of the ancient city of Wuyan.

However, from time to time, they could see black spots flying in the distance, smashing into the city less than dozens of feet away from them, smashing and smashing their shelter from the wind and rain one by one......
