At this moment, the arrow array of the Song army at the head of the city was launched, a drum sounded, and five thousand divine arm crossbows were launched at the same time, and a dense rain of arrows rose into the air, forming a long black arrow cloud in the air, which instantly turned into black dots, overwhelmingly shooting towards the golden soldiers.

The golden soldiers raised their shields to greet each other, but the Song army's divine arm crossbow dominated the world, not only the range was long, but also the strength was strong, ordinary shields and leather armor could not resist at all, especially when thrown from the air, the arrows fell with their own gravity, and the wooden shields of the golden soldiers became ornaments within a hundred steps. （）

The powerful and heavy armor-piercing crossbow arrows pierced the shield of the golden soldiers, shot through the leather armor, the golden soldiers fell from their horses one after another, and the wails were all over the field, and then the second and third waves of crossbow arrows roared like raindrops, so dense that people could not breathe, and the long arrows sneered and fell, shot through the shield, and shot through the faces and chests of the enemy, so that the dense golden soldiers under the city seemed to be crops destroyed by the storm, falling one by one, blood splashed, and one by one died tragically in wailing.

The morale of the Jin soldiers died sharply, they began to waver, retreated, scattered and fled, as if the strong wind was blowing through the dark clouds, and in an instant the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, the second attack of the Jin soldiers was disintegrated, they were dealt a heavy blow, the Song army only fired three rounds of arrows, 8,000 Jin soldiers were reduced by 30%, and more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded.

Wanyan Zongwang was unmoved, and coldly ordered: "The second army is killed!" ”

The drums of the golden soldiers were like thunder, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and 10,000 Khitan golden soldiers carried long ladders and surged towards the city wall like a tide.

"On the cavalry, use bows and arrows to suppress the head of the city!"

In a moment, 10,000 cavalry came from both sides of the city, and they also fired arrows at the head of the city at the same time, and the dense arrows above and below the city converged, and the powerful arrow array of the Jin cavalry gradually suppressed the arrows at the head of the city.

Under the cover of the golden soldiers' arrows, the first batch of about 6,000 soldiers launched an attack, and there was originally a moat two zhang wide under the city wall, but now it was frozen very strong, and it lost its defensive effect, and the six thousand golden soldiers rushed to the city and put a siege ladder on the head of the city.

The Song army has been prepared quite well, for a while, boulders, rolling wood like a storm to the siege of the city of the golden soldiers, the siege of the city of the golden soldiers nowhere to dodge, by the wood and stone smashed flesh and blood, heavy casualties, a moment of effort, the gold soldiers will be killed and wounded thousands of people, defeated and retreated.

Wanyan Zongwang looked intently at the defense of the Song army at the head of the city, although he knew that the capital of the Song Dynasty was not easy to attack, but he still did not expect the Song army to be so sharp.

"Deputy marshal, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, do you want them to withdraw first?" One of the captains whispered.

Wanyan Zongwang snorted coldly and ordered: "Give me a drum to urge the battle, whoever dares to come down will be killed!" ”

The drums of the Jin soldiers' attack sounded again, booming and shocking, Xiao Hongyan, the commander of the 10,000 Khitan elite soldiers, saw that Yan Zongwang refused to let them retreat, he had no choice but to shout: "Rush up, rush to the city, the reward is 10,000 taels!" ”

He picked up a mace and personally charged forward, under the sharp defensive offensive of the Song army, the second siege momentum of the Jin soldiers was significantly weakened, the shouting of killing was not loud, and the running was not fast, as soon as they encountered the boulder at the head of the city, they turned around and fled.

Wanyan Zongwang's face was expressionless, and he coldly ordered: "If there is one more step back, cut it!" ”

Driven by the golden soldiers and axes, the elite soldiers of the Khitan tribe had no choice but to attack the city again, and the rolling wood and stones of the Song army were smashed down intensively again, and the city wailed and screamed.

Xiao Hongyan was furious, brandished his mace and shouted: "Crossbow arrows press the head of the city!" ”

10,000 cavalry continuously fired arrows at the top of the city, temporarily suppressing the Song army on both sides of the battlements, and the Jin soldiers, who felt a little slack, immediately climbed the ladder to attack upward.

The first batch of enemy troops had already reached the head of the city, and the Song army at the head of the city fought fiercely, and the cavalry under the city also stopped shooting, they did not receive the order to withdraw, and still spread their bows and arrows under the city, and waited for the battle.

At this time, Liu Jian at the head of the city couldn't hold back any longer, and ran to Li Yanqing and said, "Dutong, use the heaven-shaking thunder!" Packed up along with the cavalry. ”

Li Yanqing did not allow them to use the earth-shattering thunder, but tens of thousands of enemy troops were within two hundred steps of the city, and this kind of opportunity to kill the enemy intensively could not be encountered at any time, and Liu Kuang's heart was itching.

Li Yanqing squinted his eyes and looked at the enemy situation under the city, 10,000 cavalry were about a hundred steps away from the city wall, this distance trebuchet could not play a role, and the iron fire thunder was a little farther away, and the most suitable defensive weapons for this distance were the divine arm crossbow and fire cannon.

At this time, Li Yanqing saw a general wearing a silver helmet, wielding a mace to command the golden soldiers to attack the city.

"See the enemy general with the mace?"

Li Yanqing said lightly: "If you can kill him, as a reward, I will allow you to use the Heaven-Shaking Thunder!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Liu Jian took a deep look at the enemy generals wielding maces under the city, turned around and strode away.

Before Li Yanqing did not enter the Western Army, Liu Jian had always been the first arrow in the Western Army, and even Yang Zaixing's archery skills could not compare to him, he could hold a three-stone bow and smash the gate with an arrow a hundred steps away, which shows the fierceness of his strength.

He did not participate in the archery and horse competition that year because of the border, which has always been a pity for the Western Army, otherwise the top three would definitely have Liu Kuang's name.

Liu Jian took his three-stone hard bow, pulled out a wolf's tooth arrow, pulled the bow suddenly, and aimed at Xiao Hongyan, who was one hundred and fifty steps away, as soon as the string was loosened, the wolf's tooth arrow shot like lightning, this arrow was fast and ruthless, Xiao Hongyan didn't have time to dodge, 'Poof! With a bang, a powerful arrow shot through Xiao Hongyan's chest, Xiao Hongyan screamed, turned over and fell off the horse.

Liu Jian shook his head contemptuously, handed the bow to his soldiers, and shouted, "The fire cannon fires a heaven-shaking thunder!" ”

The range of the cannon is between sixty steps and one hundred steps, it belongs to the short and medium distance throwing weapons, mainly used to deal with large weapons such as nest cars and battering rams, but the actual effect is far less than that of the trebuchet, but with the earth-shaking thunder, the practicability of the fire cannon is greatly enhanced, it can throw forty or fifty pounds of earth-shaking thunder to a hundred steps away, which just makes up for the shortcomings of the trebuchet.

Liu Jian gave an order, two hundred artillery guns were fired at the same time, the swarthy earth-shattering thunder was shot out at the same time, just fell in the cavalry group, a series of earth-shattering explosions sounded, suddenly the flesh and blood flew sideways, the war horse died tragically, many cavalry horses were blown up into the sky, the explosion of two hundred earth-shaking thunder also affected the siege of the golden soldiers, dense shrapnel can fly hundreds of steps away, the golden soldiers who are besieging the city on the city wall have been shot by shrapnel, screaming and rolling down from the siege ladder, for a time the black smoke is filled, I don't know how many casualties have been killed.

At this time, Wanyan Zongwang in the distance couldn't hold his breath, Xiao Hongyan lost his breath when he was carried off the battlefield, seeing that the cavalry and siege soldiers were suffering heavy casualties, Wanyan Zongwang had to give the order to withdraw the army.

'When! While! While! The sound of gold sounded, and the Jin soldiers were defeated and retreated.

The first exploratory attack of the Jin soldiers ended with a heavy price of more than 6,000 dead and wounded, but Wanyan Zongwang's heart was extremely heavy, although the Jin soldiers used the heavy casualties to let him touch the bottom of the Song army, but it also brought him huge pressure, and it was really not so easy to capture the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The Jin soldiers slowly retreated to the north, leaving behind corpses in one place, and the Song soldiers on the city broke out into jubilation, and Li Yanqing's face also showed a smile, and the feeling of defending Taiyuan City returned to his heart.
