Chapter 625

"Those firearms...... That's a real idea. It's just that firearms can only be projected with bows and crossbows, and I'm afraid that at most, they can only harass the enemy on the walls of the ancient city of Wuyan. Seed Master Dao frowned and said.

"It's okay, didn't you bring two bed crossbows, General?" Wang Yang said with a smile on his face. "My Great Song Bed Crossbow has a long range, and there is no weapon in the world that can match it, so there must be no problem with using it to fire those gunpowder weapons."

“…… Bed crossbows, you want to use bed crossbows to fire those firearms? The planter looked at this guy with a black line on his face. The bed crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty can indeed be regarded as the long-range and fastest-flying weapon of this era, or this time period of historical time and space.

"Lord Xiao Wang, you must not know, the bed crossbow can only be used to fire special crossbow arrows, those gunpowder arrows or something, under the string force of the bed crossbow, I am afraid that before the arrow is shot, the arrow body will have to be broken into several pieces." A general next to him stood up and explained.

"Who's to say you have to let that thing fire a special bolt?" Wang Yang smiled, and his smile became more and more treacherous. "Before, Wang worked in the ordnance supervisor for a period of time, I think all of you know it."

"I don't dare to say anything else, but Wang can guarantee that I still have a deep understanding of the long-range weapons of my Great Song Dynasty, especially the characteristics of various crossbows. Believe this, no one will object, right? ”

Wang Yang's gaze swept over the dozens of generals present, and all of them were very understanding, and they remained silent while nodding.

Even Han Zhongyan and Elder Han said in agreement. "The old man will not object, if Lord Xiao Wang, you don't know enough about crossbows, how can you invent a sharp weapon like the Yuanyou crossbow."

"The durability of this thing is excellent, in the past, a divine arm crossbow could be fired three hundred to five hundred times at most, and the crossbow arm had to be repaired or replaced, and this Yuan Yu crossbow, I think all the generals have seen it and used it, right?"

Zhe Keshi stood up and said loudly. "The Yuanyou crossbow has the same range as the Shenjian crossbow, but its durability is really far more than the Shenjian crossbow, in the first battle of Hongdezhai, there was a Yuanyou crossbow in his hand, and within a few days, he shot nearly a thousand arrows, but there was no damage at all."

"It's not just the Yuanyou crossbow in a certain hand, even if it's the Yuanyou crossbow mastered by others, its durability is really far stronger than the divine arm crossbow."

"Therefore, with the material of Lord Xiao Wang, I believe that he will definitely have a way to use the bed crossbow to give those gunpowder weapons to those Western Xia soldiers and horses in the ancient city of Wuyan to strike."

All eyes were on Wang Yang's body again, and Wang Yang smiled faintly, smiling so confidently. "Please leave it to me, Wang will definitely not disappoint you."

"Since you are so confident, Lord Wang, then this matter will be left to you." Han Zhongyan bowed his head slightly and finalized the matter.

Then, under the repeated requests of Liang Yikui, Han Zhongyan finally agreed, and Xu Liang Yikui led 10,000 soldiers to rush to the ancient city of Wuyan to assist in the defense.

And the fate of the main general led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the ancient city of Wuyan, and naturally Wang Yang and those siege weapons brought by the master were indispensable.

The ancient city of Wuyan is not far from Hongzhou City, and it is precisely because of this that Han Zhongyan and Han Boss agreed to Liang Yiqi's request and asked him to lead 10,000 foot soldiers to help in the battle.

If there was any problem, the Great Song garrison in Hongzhou rushed directly to help, and it was completely too late.

After a day of preparation, 30,000 troops were in front, and 10,000 cavalry quietly embellished behind these 30,000 troops, marching towards the ancient city of Wuyan. And Sachen, who strictly guarded the ancient city of Wuyan, had already received the news when the Song army was still ten miles away from the ancient city of Wuyan.

However, some people jumped out and said that they wanted to fight with the Great Song army in front of the gongs and drums, but such a bad idea was opposed by most people.

"Our army has only 50,000 soldiers and horses, but there are only 40,000 soldiers who can fight, and now the main force of the Great Song Dynasty has been gathered in the Jianing Military Division, if we take the initiative to attack, isn't it equivalent to abandoning our own geographical advantages and fighting with the Great Song Dynasty?"

"My Great Xia soldiers and horses are extremely brave, and I will be able to win a field battle with the Song army." The general retorted reluctantly.

"The other side has 30,000 soldiers and horses, if you want to win, then all the soldiers and horses in the city must be sent, and at that time, in case the Song army sends a partial division to take the ancient city of Wuyan...... When the time comes, will you be able to bear the responsibility? Fei Tingda Rong stroked his long beard, glared at the general, and shouted.

The general could only sit back in a daze. "Shall we just let them besiege us here?"

"Let them besiege it, anyway, we just need to defend the ancient city, and the construction of a sturdy raft is being stepped up over there, but these days, there are too many ice cubes, and it is really difficult to cross the river." Sachen smacked his mouth and said.

Now the most troublesome problem is not the Song army, but the turbid Wuding River at that time, because of the advent of winter, the river surface of the Wuding River, which is not fast, has formed a lot of broken ice, of different sizes.

In this case, the rafts that had been built before could not withstand the impact of these broken ice, and they were easily knocked apart, and after paying the price of dozens of lives, they could only try to build more durable rafts before they dared to cross the river, or they could expect the weather to be even colder, so that the entire river surface would be completely frozen and hard, so that the army could directly cross the river through the river.

Today, seven or eight thicker and sturdier rafts have been built, but even with broken ice, they can only make a maximum of two trips a day on the Wuding River, and only a hundred people can be transported at a time.

"Then it's decided, stick to the ancient city of Wuyan, if the Song army besieges the ancient city of Wuyan, it's fine, if they want to attack the city, then it doesn't matter, to be honest, I really look forward to them attacking the city without knowing whether they are alive or dead." Hearing Sachen's words, the arrogant soldiers of Western Xia couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Before noon, the 30,000-strong army had already arrived at the ancient city of Wuyan. Liang Yikui led 10,000 soldiers and garrisoned at the south gate of the ancient city of Wuyan, and the two border generals were in charge of the north gate and the west gate. The three sides encircled the ancient city of Wuyan, which was built on the back of the water.

"What are these Song Jun doing?" Sachen, who was dressed in a well-made Western Xia Monkey Armor, stood on the gate tower of the West Gate, looking out of the city.

The Song army stopped at a place about a mile west of the ancient city of Wuyan and began to set up camp, but it was not enough to camp, while camping on the side, they were still digging in the soil, as if they wanted to build a high tower.

"What are these Song Jun trying to do? Isn't this an attempt to build a tower to observe our defenses in the city? One of the generals scratched his head and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
