Almighty Cultivation Supreme

In the last battle, the Western Xia army dispatched an army of 80,000, and Richard was in a very complicated mood, he looked up at the sky, the sky was extremely gloomy, and the dark clouds were low.

On the Wuding River north of Shizhou City, the Western Xia army was ready, with 65,000 Western Xia soldiers distributed on a two-mile battle line, and 15,000 reserves on the other side of the river.

There was a burst of flying sand and stones, and the yellow dust in the sky filled the air, and the Shizhou City standing on the slope in the distance became a little blurred.

Riding on a majestic and shiny black-maned horse, holding a sharp spear about one foot and five feet long, he stared coldly at the yellow banner representing the chief general of the Song army in the city, and his face could not hide the look of anticipation of a decisive battle with the Song army.

"Your Highness, it seems that the Song army has seen through our deployment, and I hear the drumbeat of their decisive battle," one of the generals whispered to him.

Brother Richard looked at the city where the Song army began to deploy defenses, and said coldly: "This is not important! What matters is our own determination. ”

He glanced back at the Western Xia soldiers, urged the horse to run in front of the team, he raised his big gun, and shouted sharply in the Western Xia language: "The Song Dynasty has an endless land, there are tens of millions of young women, there are inexhaustible gold and silver treasures, your wealth can only be captured by yourself, warriors, the wealth belongs to you, the land belongs to you, and the women also belong to you, kill into Shizhou City, kick off the last stumbling block to attack the Song Dynasty!" ”

"Kill into Shizhou!"

The jackal ** from the heart of the Western Xia soldier was ignited by Brother Richard, he raised his spear and shouted in unison, as if countless treasures and coquettish women appeared in front of him.

"Kill—" Tens of thousands of Western Xia soldiers roared towards Shizhou City together.

Brother Richard pointed his spear at Shizhou City, "The cavalry is dispatched!" ”

The offensive of the Western Xia army was launched, 65,000 soldiers had been deployed in advance, 5,000 troops were pressed for military law, and 60,000 troops were divided into three routes, attacking the north, east and west cities respectively.

First of all, five thousand cavalry urged the war horses, overwhelmingly to Shizhou Dongcheng, Dongcheng is still the top priority of the Western Xia army's attack, Richard Ge knew in his heart that after half a month of more than a dozen siege bloody battles, the Dongcheng Song army also suffered heavy casualties, and their trebuchets and artillery could not last long.

Five thousand cavalry swept towards the eastern city, and the shouts, roars, and galloping hooves of horses resounded throughout the field.

The head of the Song army was still quiet, but behind the battlements, 10,000 Song troops were ready, 4,000 Song troops with giant shields and spears in their hands forming a dense shield wall, and behind them were 6,000 crossbowmen.

Dongcheng is the focus of the enemy's attack, and the master Dao has allocated half of the city's divine arm crossbows to Dongcheng, and the six thousand crossbowmen are divided into three teams, each holding a strong crossbow, and the two-foot long crossbow arrow is pointed obliquely at the sky.

Behind the crossbowmen are one hundred and twenty cannons and large trebuchets, each of which is operated by ten people, and the nest is tightened with a cow tendon strand, and there is a thirty-pound porcelain jar thunderbolt cannon in the pocket, the thunderbolt itself has no significant killing effect, but it can shoot out hundreds of poisonous needles and tribulus terrestris in the porcelain jar, whether it is cavalry or infantry, it will be impossible to prevent it, and it will be stabbed by the poisonous needles and tribulus terrestris on the ground.

Inside the trebuchet are hundred-pound boulders, which are mainly aimed at enemy siege weapons, including ladders and enemy trebuchets, but can also kill and injure enemy troops in large quantities.

Crossbow arrows, trebuchets, and artillery formed two striking lines of defense, far and near, and the Song army was already in full array.

Li Yanqing stood on the city wall, watching the rolling yellow dust sweeping in the distance, and the five thousand Western Xia cavalry were like turbulent waves, undulating and rushing in the wilderness ten miles away, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes.

After more than a dozen siege battles, his experience is also accumulating, and he has begun to subconsciously focus on the use of tactics and strategies, which is very different from the passivity and tension of the first day of defending the city.

The first time he encountered the Tangut army was to deal with the cavalry, and he gradually understood the combat characteristics of the Tangut cavalry, the Tangut people not only attacked like a flash flood and were menacing, but they also had strong endurance, and they refused to give up until they reached their goal, and the cavalry had to stay behind.

A hundred steps away, Wang Gui looked a little puzzled, the tactics of the Western Xia army using cavalry to attack the city were the first time he had encountered it, the city wall was so strong, what was the point of the cavalry rushing up? It was not yet the target of the Song army's massacre.

At this time, an experienced veteran reminded Wang Gui: "General, guard against the enemy cavalry attacking the city with rockets!" ”

Wang Gui suddenly woke up, he remembered that he had also used rockets to ignite the fire oil on the city, although there was no fire oil in the city now, but there were a large number of thunderbolts and five earth-shattering thunderbolts, once ignited, the consequences were unimaginable.

Wang Gui hurriedly told Yang Zaixing to guard against enemy rockets, and he himself ordered his soldiers to use shields to tightly protect the thousands of thunderbolts placed at the head of the city.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the Western Xia cavalry rushed closer and closer, a thousand steps, eight hundred steps, six hundred steps, and five hundred steps...... Already approaching the range of the trebuchet, the Song army's trebuchet took the lead, a series of strong winds sounded, eighty boulders rose into the air, and a sparse stone rain was spread in the air, making a strange sound, whistling and smashing towards the top of the heads of the Western Xia cavalry.

The Western Xia cavalry who ran in the front turned over on their backs, the boulder hit the soldiers, the head was smashed away instantly, the flesh and blood were blurred, the war horse was smashed, neighed and fell, and the soldiers on the horse were pressed under him, and a stone rain killed and injured more than 400 cavalry, which made the crazy arrogance of the Xixia people a setback, but their attack did not stop, and they continued to kill Shizhou City.

The second wave of thunderbolts struck, the thunderbolts were packed in the porcelain jars, they could not fall to the ground and then explode, the porcelain jars were broken and lost their effects, and forty thunderbolts exploded in mid-air, like black fireworks, black smoke rose into the air, and a large number of poisonous tribulus terrestris burst out in all directions, some hit the cavalry, and most of them fell to the ground, becoming a great threat to the cavalry.

In an instant, the horses neighed miserably, crawled to the ground, and threw the horsemen out sideways, and there were people on their backs all around, but the number of poisonous needles and tribulus terrestris brought by forty thunderbolt cannons was still too small to stop the mile-long cavalry battle.

The cavalry was very fast, and their forward troops were less than one hundred and fifty paces away from the Shizhou city wall.

Li Yanqing watched sharply as the cavalry gradually rushed into the one hundred and twenty step line, and he immediately ordered: "Crossbow arrow shooting!" ”

The sound of bangzi on the head of the city suddenly sounded, the Song army's arrow array was launched, and six thousand divine arm crossbows were launched in three sections, and the first dense arrow rain rose into the air, forming a long black arrow cloud in the air, which instantly turned into black dots, overwhelmingly shooting towards the Western Xia cavalry.

The Western Xia cavalry raised their shields to meet each other, but the Song army's divine arm crossbow dominated the world, not only with a long range, but also with strong strength, ordinary shields and leather armor could not resist at all, so that the shield and leather armor of the Western Xia cavalry became an ornament.

The powerful and heavy armor-piercing crossbow arrows pierced the cavalry's shields and pierced the leather armor, and the cavalry fell from their horses one after another, wailing all over the field, and then the second and third waves of crossbow arrows roared like raindrops, so dense that people couldn't breathe.

The long arrows sneered down, pierced through the shields, shot through the faces and chests of the enemy, and these Western Xia cavalry seemed to be crops destroyed by a storm, falling one by one, blood splattered, and one by one died tragically with a wail.

Not only the divine arm crossbow, but also the boulders smashed one after another, the thunderbolt cannon exploded in the air, a large number of quenched poisonous thistles burst out in all directions, the morale of the enemy army died sharply, and the loss of five thousand Western Xia cavalry had exceeded three thousand, and they began to waver, scattering and fleeing, as if a strong wind was blowing into a valley filled with mist, and the fog dissipated in an instant.

The first attack of the Western Xia cavalry was disintegrated, and they were fatally hit before they could fire rockets, at which point the Song army fired only three rounds of crossbow arrows.

Brother Richard, who was watching the battle from behind, gasped, although he had seen the Divine Arm Crossbow, but it was the first time he had seen an arrow array composed of six thousand Divine Arm Crossbows, such a powerful and domineering crossbow arrow array, compared with the Song Army, the bows and arrows of Western Xia were too far apart.

Although bows and arrows are not the strong point of the Western Xia, the Western Xia army is good at fire attack, but even the Liao people who are good at bows and arrows are far from being able to compare with the powerful Song army's divine arm crossbow arrow array.

Richard Brother's plan to use cavalry rockets to sneak attack Dongcheng failed miserably under the blow of the powerful divine arm crossbow, not only failed to improve morale, but instead made the spirit of the Western Xia army die out under the powerful crossbow arrows of the Song army, and the slogan that was shouted as loud as a mountain just now also disappeared, and in the face of the cruel death threat, the ** in everyone's heart began to fade.

Richard knows the truth that if you don't advance, you will retreat, and he doesn't want to retreat so early, it is a great shame for him, and even if he fails, he will make his opponent pay a terrible price.

Richard shouted: "The army is attacking on all fronts!" ”

'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ’

The Western Xia army drums were beating, and 55,000 soldiers began to launch an all-out attack on Shizhou City, Richard Brother was ruthless, he invested 15,000 people in Dongcheng and Beicheng each, and 25,000 people in Dongcheng, he must be the first to crush the defenders of Dongcheng.

The soldiers ran on the ground like a dense swarm of ants, shouting and killing shook the sky, ladders and trebuchets slowly advanced under the pull of the strong oxen, the low sound of trumpets echoed between the heavens and the earth, and the three-way army was like three boiling black tides surging towards the city.

At this time, the seed master Dao issued an order to counterattack, and the north, east and west cities also began a comprehensive counterattack, the boulders rolled in the sky, roaring and smashing towards the enemy troops under the city, the thunderbolt exploded in the sky, releasing countless poisonous needles and tribulus terrestris, occasionally there would be several earth-shattering explosions, and thick smoke rose into the air, which was the first time that the defenders of Xicheng began to use earth-shaking thunder.

'Boom! 'A boulder hits a moving ladder, and the ladder clicks! The long arm-like ladder snapped off, causing a roar from the soldiers below.

But it is impossible for every boulder to hit the target, hundreds of trebuchets and cannons of the Western Xia army also began to attack, these trebuchets and cannons are exactly the same as those of the Song army at the head of the city, they are all from the spoils of the great victory on the Western Front, and more than 1,000 planes have been captured, while the number of the Eastern Front is only half, and Tong Guan's selfishness finally fulfilled the Western Xia Army.

However, the siege weapon of the Western Xia army is a back attack, the range is shorter than three percent, at most two hundred steps, in desperation, the Western Xia army lightened the weight of the boulder, they projected fifty catties of boulders and more than a dozen catties of fire oil balls, the range can also reach three hundred steps.

After more than ten days of fierce fighting, the siege weapons of the Western Xia army have also lost more than half, and they still have more than 400 left, all of which are put into the battlefield today, half of which are deployed in Dongcheng.

A large stone roared towards the east city head, and the defenders at the city head let out a shout and squatted down one after another, 'Bang! The boulder struck the battlements, and the gravel flew wildly, and the boulder bounced up, and hit a trebuchet so hard that one of the pillars of the trebuchet was broken, and it fell to the side, overpowering a dozen soldiers who could not dodge.

Another boulder flew in, smashed several soldiers who raised their shields in front of the firearms and flew out, rolling down the inner city, at this moment, more than a dozen burning fireballs flew towards the city, one of them just landed next to the firearms at the head of the city, just now several guards were smashed by the boulder, and there was a gap in the protection of the firearms, this fireball rolled around, like an eye, and plunged into the middle of the three thunderbolts against the wall.

The lead of one of the sky-shaking thunder was ignited by the fireball, Wang Gui and several soldiers were rushing to the scene, but they were a step too late, the sky-shaking thunder was actually ignited, and Wang Gui's eyes suddenly turned red.
