Chapter 102: Soldiers Descend on the City

After the howling cry, the rumbling hooves of horses came, and a team of people rushed out of the night, and the first to lead the team was the running Xiao Gray Ash.

The drawbridge fell again, and more than two hundred horses rushed onto the drawbridge at full speed.

"General Zhao close the city gate, there are chasing soldiers behind!"

Du Huran's helmet was crooked, and when he entered the city gate, he opened his mouth to shout a warning.

There is no need for him to warn Zhao Tianyou in the city has already heard the movement in the distance, the dull sound of hooves has been connected, at least thousands of horsemen, and the ink in the distance in the dark seems to be thicker.

"Enemy attack, prepare for battle, go to the city wall!"

After taking Li Dayong, Ling Zhen appointed the deputy general Chen Fei as the guard of the West City Gate, and responded to Zhao Tianyou's requests, and what Zhao Tianyou said could be equivalent to a military order, and it must be followed. In this way, the city defense will be mainly the arms and equipment of Hong Kong Island, but other conventional city defense equipment can not be left behind, trebuchets, fire oil bottles, bows and arrows, fork guns, and so on to cooperate, two different subordinate troops, holding their strength at the head of the city to compete to see who can kill the enemy better.

As the sound of hooves got closer and closer, a large number of pine lanterns were lit at the head of the West City Gate, which was as bright as day within a hundred steps of the city. The sound of hooves rumbled and horses neighed, and three hundred paces away from the city wall, the pursuing cavalry held down the formation, and there was no end in sight to the black oppression.

This is the maximum killing distance of the Great Song Divine Arm Bow, but the giant crossbow fired by the crossbow bed has a range of about 500 paces, didn't the pursuing cavalry take it into account? I still don't care about the power of the crossbow bed installed on the head of Guangzhou City.

Du Hu went up to the city, saw the still burning corpses and Li Dayong tied to the stake, walked up to Zhao Tianyou and asked in a low voice, "Is it done?" Is that him! ”

"It's him, and Li Heng, who is chasing you, is a descendant of Western Xia, and he has long been rebellious. How about your trip, the beginning of the completion is very smooth, why have you been chased by someone biting your ass? ”

Du Hu glanced at the little gray gray hidden behind Tianyou, and the cute eyes that deliberately pretended to defeat him instantly, you can't betray the little gray gray, people are just hungry and want to eat meat!

"Li Heng's people are very strong, they are not impatient in the face of setbacks, and they have never been in a mess, but they are lucky, otherwise they will not be able to come back if they are surrounded!"

Du Hu led people upriver in advance, and sank more than a dozen fishing boats full of boulders at Liuchuan Waterfall, and the river was impassable for three or five days, blocking Li Heng's troop carrier. When they assembled by land, Du Hu led the people to Centipede Ridge, buried gunpowder on the hillside that was about to collapse, and when Li Heng's vanguard cavalry arrived, it detonated, killing more than 100 cavalry and destroying the mountain road through it.

Du Hu and the others were flexible and maneuvered, hiding traces according to the terrain, and the military intelligence scouts sent by the other party never found their traces. However, when the scout of the other party stopped to rest, he took out a roasted chicken called Huahua, and after opening the lotus leaf, the meat was fragrant, and it was smelled by the little gray ash who was responsible for today's navigation work.

Little Gray had grown to a very large size, but after all, he was a young wolf for a few months, and the heart of play and play came out of his hiding place, and he rushed out from the hiding place and bit the scout to death. After grabbing the roast chicken, he ate a big meal and ran back, not beware of being discovered by a scout who was ordered to investigate the low traces, and traced the traces of Little Gray Ash all the way, and found Du Hu's team hidden in the forest.

"You have made a great contribution today, remember it for the time being, and when you defeat the Yuan soldiers, I will arrange for Lao Feng Tou to give you all some equipment for replacement!"

Du Hu was overjoyed and said: "General Zhao is hard to chase after him, everyone has seen this, and when the time comes, we are not allowed to cheat, we can make our own requests!" ”

"Don't worry! I'll be able to do what I say, haha! Anyway, Lao Feng is busy, I just came up with an idea! ”

"General Zhao, the ballista bed is equipped with thunderbolts, seeing such a big pile of people and horses, if you don't blow up his two cannons, the brothers' hands will itch!" Xiao Wuzi, the firearms squad leader at the West City Gate, ran over in a hurry, he was in charge of two sets of ballista thunderbolts, and he happened to be on the night shift tonight.

As a gunner, seeing such a dense number of men and horses in the firing range, it must be unbearable hunger and thirst compared to watching a bachelor who has been in drought for twenty years and has been on the embroidery bed of a beautiful girl.

Zhao Tianyou looked at it and was also moved, the position of the Yuan soldiers below was too perfect, and people were close to each other, I am afraid that if I missed today, I will never find such an unguarded pile of people again.

"Then make a big one, and the eight groups of thunderbolts on the left and right sides of the city are all ready. The action is quiet, don't let the people below find out, stop after the three consecutive shots, don't waste the shells! ”

Xiao Wuzile smiled, and took the order to arrange preparations.

The cavalry was gathered within three hundred paces outside the city, and the modified and strengthened version of the ballista bed was capable of firing at a distance of about seven hundred paces. With the full cooperation of the surrounding crossbowmen, there was no problem with the two shots, and the third shot depended on luck and the speed of the Yuan soldiers' retreat, so Zhao Tianyou ordered to pause after the three consecutive shots.

The general led by the Yuan soldiers under the castle was the young Mongolian marksman Na Risong, who was tall and powerful, with long arms and infinite strength, and used a special three-stone recurve bow. He once shot a hare that was running 300 paces away, and think about what kind of quasi-head, since the age of thirteen, he began to make a name for himself at the Naadam Conference, and was personally rewarded by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty.

That Risong's future was bright, and after a little time of training, he was a rare general in the Yuan army. In the past two years, he has followed Liu Heng to fight, he has fought bravely to kill the enemy and made many achievements, from a personal warrior to a brave general, from a lone person to a unified army of 10,000, it only took a year and a half to achieve a height that others cannot reach in their lives.

He looked carefully at the wooden stakes standing at the head of the city, and the man tied up was dying with his head down and couldn't see his face clearly, but he must be Li Dayong, the city gate guard Li Shuai said, should have been found to be rebelling in the city, and tied to the head of the city to show his authority.

The eyesight of good archers is quite outstanding, and Na Risong is no exception, coupled with the ultra-long range of his three-stone recurve bow, everyone who shows his head on the head of the city may be his target, and Mu Jiasheng, the governor of Chenzhou, was looking out at the head of the city, and was shot to death by him with an arrow through the chest from three hundred paces away.

Today, he led his troops to chase about 300 steps away from the city gate, one is to beware of the Song army's divine arm crossbow, and the other is to see if there are any generals of the Song army at the head of the city, and let him shoot one in the dark, which can be regarded as a great achievement. He had been hiding in the ranks, except for the slightly larger mounts, and the other cavalrymen were dressed exactly the same, and he could not be detected from his clothing and appearance.

Zhao Tianyou waited at the head of the city, which of the cavalry under the city was their general, it was best to find him and annihilate him with a few cannons. Eight groups of thunderbolt cannons have been filled, and there are more than a dozen people behind the ballista who are ready to pull the machine spring to load the thunderbolt cannons.

At this time, Na Risong saw half of Zhao Tianyou's shoulder through the arrow stack, and keenly felt that this person was full of danger, so he did not hesitate to bend his bow and arrows, and almost no time to aim, his fingers released the bowstring!

"Boom!" With a soft sound, a black-feathered and iron-bones Mitsubishi arrow came out of the string.
