Chapter 212: Secret Weapon

The huge flames instantly engulfed the archers of the Jin Army, and also ignited the siege stone cannon directly, Sun Hui flew around the siege stone cannon, burning all the Jin army archers around the stone cannon into ashes, and then sprayed a fire on the stone cannon, the high temperature of the flame immediately caused the wooden artillery carriage to collapse, and the Song army in the city saw this scene, and once again let out an excited cheer, and the sound shook Tianyu for a while.

Sun Hui fluttered his wings and rushed into the sky, flying straight towards another stone cannon, this time he learned smartly, not to give the Jin army a chance to shoot himself with arrows, he first made a rapid dive, opened his mouth and breathed fire to directly eliminate the arrow array composed of the Jin army archers around the stone cannon, and then turned his head to burn the stone cannon again, and after a while, five stone cannons burned him successively.

The Song army in the city got a chance to breathe, and immediately began to use the stone cannons at the head of the city to counterattack the Jin army to help Sun Hui attack the enemy, but the Song army's stone cannons were smaller, and the Jin army was damaged a lot by fighting for days, and the stones thrown were very sparse, and the array of the Jin army was not tight, and the attack effect was very limited, and not many Jin soldiers were killed, but there were several stones that almost fell on Sun Hui's head who was shuttling and flying.

Seeing that the stone thrown by the Song army almost hit Sun Hui, Sun Fu was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and shouted loudly that he was not allowed to throw stones again, so as not to hurt Sun Hui, but the city was in chaos, no one heard his shouts, or Zhang Shuye took his two sons to run down the city tower in person to give an order, and the Song soldiers stopped.

Without interference, Sun Hui was able to concentrate on the attack, and he only then discovered that the siege equipment of the Jin army was not only numerous, but also very complete, in addition to stone cannons, there were also "ladders", "trench cars", "cave cars" and "goose cars", as well as some huge vehicles that could not be named.

When did the Jin people learn to do this? Didn't many people in later generations say that the Jin people were just newly civilized barbarians, who would only use their brute force to wield an unbladed axe to cut people? Compared with the Song Dynasty, their weapons, strategies and funds are greatly inferior, and the only advantage is that they can produce horses?

There are nearly 100 siege equipment, how did you get it?

This scene under Kaifeng City proved to him that the things he had seen before were wrong. Up to now, it has been almost ten years since the rise of the Jurchens, and Shibei should be impressed in three days, let alone such an emerging nation that has wiped out the largest country in East Asia? They fed the war with war, not only annexed the Liao State, but also digested the Liao State. At this time, whether it was weapons, strategy, or funds, the Jin State had already surpassed the Song Dynasty.

There should be no doubt about that.

There is no time to scold the future generations of those who do not learn and prefer nonsense, Sun Hui knows that what he has to do now is to burn all these siege equipment of the Jin army, these things are a huge threat to the defense of Kaifeng, and the Jin army has made great efforts to prepare, once destroyed, it is difficult to replenish in a short time.

Sun Hui dived and attacked again, he seemed to have turned into a fire dragon, flying sideways all the way and spewing flames, one after another Jin army siege vehicles were ignited by him and collapsed, and many Jin army infantry nearby were also burned, screaming loudly and rolling on the ground, luckily extinguishing the flames on his body, he also completely lost his fighting spirit, and ran backwards.

Sun Hui didn't count how many stone cannons and siege engines he had lit, he only saw burning wreckage and smoke everywhere on the battlefield, and the fleeing crowd on fire.

Due to the thick smoke rising, a large cloud of smoke was formed, and the visibility of the battlefield was drastically reduced, Sun Hui had to fly lower, and just as he was looking for the undestroyed stone cannon, there was a sudden scream in the air with a sharp weapon breaking through the air!

Sun Hui was taken aback, his body turned, and he saw a sharp arrow like a javelin more than a meter long flying past him.

Seeing this giant arrow, Sun Hui was really nervous this time.

Because he thought of what Jin Bing was attacking him with.

Bed crossbow!

According to historical records, this is an extremely inhumane weapon from the hands of the Song people, because it was not used against people at all. The Song Dynasty built it with the intention of attacking the city. It is a rather large device, powered by a combination of three or four strong bows, with an axle turnaround (winch) open and a bow with seven arrows on the crossbow arm and a large arrow in the center.

This kind of arrow is known as "one shot and three sword arrows". That is to say, its appearance is basically a javelin, three feet and five inches long, and its tail feathers are three pieces of iron feathers, just like three long swords. Such a huge arrow coupled with the slightly shorter arrow fired by the arrow next to it, if it is shot out in a row, after a loud bang, the opponent's city tower is already crumbling, even if it is lucky, they are also nailed to the city wall in rows, and the soldiers of the Song army can climb them and climb directly to the enemy tower.

This thing is so strong that it can't be pulled by a human being, let alone an arrow with a human hand, and it has to be hammered hard with an iron hammer to hit the machine spring, and then "one shot and three sword arrows" will bang loudly, tear the air, and shoot at its target.

As far as Sun Hui knew, the shooting trajectory of the bed crossbow was parabola, and it was impossible to aim accurately, but the arrow just now was obviously very accurate, because it almost hit him.

He also noticed that unlike the conical arrow used by the Song army, the arrow that had just been fired at him was a shovel-shaped.

The bed crossbow was a big killer weapon of the Song people, and now it is in the hands of the Jin people, and it has been improved!

Sun Hui flapped his wings and raised his height, and at this time another huge arrow shot at him in the chest, and he had just dodged to dodge, and two shorter arrows shot over, all of which were shovel-shaped arrows without exception.

Due to the tacit understanding of the opponent's shots one after the other, Sun Hui was already difficult to dodge the two slightly shorter arrows in the back, and in a hurry, he shouted, stretched out his hands, and tried his best to copy these two arrows in his hands.

The moment he copied these two arrows, he knew that another secret weapon of the Song army might have been obtained by the Jin people.

Divine Arm Bow.

Later generations have been controversial about the existence of the Divine Arm Bow. For the divine arm bow, Ji Xiaolan of the Qing Dynasty recorded in the "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang": "In the Song Dynasty, there was a divine arm bow, a real giant crossbow, standing on the ground and stepping on its machine, it can be 300 steps through the iron armor, also known as the enemy bow, Hong Rongzhai test vocabulary, there is "the enemy bow inscription" is also. The Song army refused to pay and relied on this as a tool. Military law must not lose a single body, or defeat can not be carried, then it is better to break it, to prevent the enemy from getting its wheel imitation. Yuan Shizu destroyed the Song Dynasty, got its style, and used it to win. Zhiming is not allowed to pass it on, but the "Yongle Canon" still contains its pictures. However, its wheel is a picture, but there is a short, long, wide and narrow degree and its convex and concave shape, there is no complete picture, Yu and Zou Nianqiao Shilang are poor for several days, the truth is funny, and there is no clue. In other words, the Divine Arm Bow is actually a crossbow, and Ji Xiaolan once wanted to copy it, but it didn't succeed.
