Chapter 1024: The Great Siege (Part II)

After the Jin soldiers continued to advance, the effect of the second round of the bed crossbow was significantly weakened, and the ladder raised by the Jin soldiers on their heads effectively blocked the powerful bed crossbow arrows.

Yan Qing saw that the bed crossbow was not effective, so he shouted: "Remove the bed crossbow and prepare to shake the sky and thunder!" ”

Since the effect of the bed crossbow is not good, the effect of the divine arm crossbow will not be too good, Yan Qing simply showed their killer feature, the giant earth-shaking thunder.

There were no dense arrows on the city, so the golden soldiers sped up and ran, three hundred paces...... Two hundred steps...... One hundred and fifty steps.

In a hundred steps, the golden soldier finally entered the range of the cannon, and the red flag in the hand of the seed martyr finally waved, "Shoot!" Several Song army commanders shouted almost simultaneously.

The heavy artillery was launched, and sixty continuous crashing sounds smashed sixty swarthy giant sky-shaking thunderbolts towards the golden soldiers' array, the fire ropes of the earth-shaking thunder sneered in the air and smoked, and the winter melon-like iron balls rolled in the air, quickly appearing above the heads of the golden soldiers, and the golden soldiers shouted for a while, and lay on the ground one after another, this is their experience of dodging the earth-shaking thunder.

'Boom! With a muffled sound, a shocking thunder that had not yet exploded smashed, the dust was flying, a golden soldier couldn't dodge, his head was smashed into meat sauce, and the powerful impact force made the circular earth-shaking thunder continue to roll, rushing straight into the group of Jin soldiers, and exploded with a bang.

Suddenly there was a scream, and hundreds of soldiers within a radius of 20 zhang were killed on the spot, some of them were blown up to the point of flesh and blood, but some were unharmed, and blood flowed from their mouths and eyes, which was shocked to death.

There was another earth-shattering bang, and a huge earth-shattering thunder exploded in the crowd not far away, and a large crater was blown up in the ground, and dozens of soldiers were blown up.

The first round of sixty earth-shaking thunderbolts caused nearly 3,000 casualties, and at this time, the second round of firecrackers was fired again, and sixty giant sky-shaking thunderbolts rolled in the air, whistling and shooting.

This time, most of them exploded above the heads of the Jin soldiers, and the Jin cavalry turned on their backs, the flesh and blood of the soldiers flew sideways, the corpses were broken, the ladders were broken, and then the third round was shot out..... Two to three thousand people were killed or wounded in each round of catapults.

Three rounds of earth-shaking thunder caused more than 6,000 casualties among the Jin soldiers, although the power of the earth-shaking thunder is huge, but after all, the number is slightly small, can not form a huge lethality, 9,000 Jin troops have rushed to the city, the Song army on the city 10,000 arrows fired together, arrows like hail rain, overwhelmingly shot towards the Jin soldiers.

The golden soldiers raised their shields to greet each other, and constantly someone was killed by arrows, and in the rain of arrows, the golden soldiers will be several feet long and the ladder 'boom! The ground was placed on the moat, forming more than 20 temporary tree bridges, and then a wide row of ladders several feet high set up the head of the city, and groups of fierce golden soldiers rushed up the ladders and began to climb upward.

The Song army's arrow rain came diagonally, rolling wood and stones fell head-on, and a string of golden soldiers fell down the stairs screaming, their bodies were hit by arrows, their heads were smashed, and the dead bodies piled up under the city wall, and then there were golden soldiers who frantically climbed the stairs and charged upwards desperately.

At this time, the drums in the camp of the golden soldiers were loud again, and 10,000 Jurchen cavalry galloped in, dusty, and they used the fastest speed to pass through the range area of the bed crossbow from 200 to 300 paces, but they could not avoid the fire of the god arm crossbow at the head of the city.

Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows roared in, smashing over pieces of cavalry, the arrows of the crossbow were strong and fast, an arrow could shoot through the enemy's leather armor, the horses neighed, the soldiers rolled to the ground, and under the trampling of iron hooves, there were pieces of miserable corpses everywhere.

At this moment, the Jin soldiers have invested 25,000 siege soldiers, and the siege and defense of the city have entered the most white-hot stage.

At this moment, Yan Qing took out the most vicious move of the Song army, and as soon as he gave an order, a thousand thunder throwers quietly pressed on, and under the cover of other soldiers, they threw three hundred giant sky-shaking thunderbolts that had been lit ten zhang away from the city, and just fell into the dense crowd of golden soldiers.

A series of earth-shattering explosions sounded under the city, thick smoke filled the air, the siege ladder was blown up, the golden soldiers fell from the sky one after another, and the screams under the city were drowned out by the explosion.

Wanyan Sosuke in the distance was stunned, and when the smoke gradually cleared, his intuition told him that the golden soldiers under the city had lost at least thirty percent.

At this time, a cavalryman rushed in, "General Sofuke, Marshal Du ordered you to withdraw your troops immediately!" ”

"Whew-"

Wanyan Zongfu helplessly raised the horn and blew it, and the golden soldiers under the city were defeated like a mountain, and thousands of arrows were fired at the top of the city, shooting at the golden soldiers who fled in panic, and the golden soldiers were shot down one by one.

In this battle of less than an hour, the 25,000 gold soldiers lost 60%, and only 10,000 soldiers fled back, and many soldiers who were still not dead on the battlefield were all shot by the Song army at the head of the city.

.......

The Central Plains battlefield was also in full swing, in the battle for Luoyang, the three armies surrounding Luoyang seemed to be in competition, Wu Jie blew up the West Gate with earth-shattering thunder, but the first to reach the head of the city was Yue Fei's army.

The five hundred death squads sent by Yue Fei rushed to the top of the city in one go, opened the southern gate, and Yue Fei and Wu Jie's troops entered the city almost at the same time, and Zhang Jun also attacked the northern city.

Liu Lin led 20,000 troops in the city and the Song army broke out in a fierce street battle, but his troops were too weak, only held out for less than half an hour, and was destroyed by the Song army, Liu Lin was also captured by the Song army in the City God Temple, and the Song army successfully recovered Luoyang.

Li Yanqing immediately ordered Wu Jie's and Zhang Jun's army to return to Hedong Road and prepare to cooperate with Liu Ji's 100,000-strong army to attack Hebei, Yue Fei's army left 10,000 to defend Luoyang, and the remaining 70,000 troops rushed to Bianliang to participate in the siege of Bianliang.

Liu Yu's Qi army was defeated repeatedly, leaving only the entire Central Plains and only Bianliang a big city, and the army in his hands was only 25,000 people, Liu Yu immediately ordered to recruit 50,000 troops in the city, but was strongly resisted by the people of Bianliang, and only more than 1,000 people signed up in three days.

The attitude of the people of Bianliang aroused Liu Yu's anger, and he ordered the forcible capture of the people in the city, but was persuaded by Fan Qiong that if these resentful recruits surrendered to the Song army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Liu Yu also realized that something was wrong, and finally canceled the order to arrest the people, but even so, it still aroused strong anger among the people in the city, and the news of the killing of the single soldier continued to come from the city.

At this time, the 100,000 troops of Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi had arrived in the southern city of Bianliang, and the 100,000 troops led by Li Yanqing had also arrived in the eastern city of Bianliang, and the 70,000 troops led by Yue Fei were rushing towards Bianliang, and the 270,000 Song army would hunt Bianliang, which was ten times that of the Qi army, which made Liu Yu panic all day.

Now Liu Yu's only hope is to wait for Yan Xianye's Jin soldiers to kill the Yellow River to save him.

Liu Yu stood on the head of the city almost every day and looked north, he hoped that the Jin cavalry would suddenly be overwhelming, but unfortunately he looked at it day after day, there was still nothing in the north, and the shadow of the Jin soldiers was not seen.

"Your Highness, go back! The sun is too poisonous. ”

Now that it has entered the hot summer, the hot sun seems to be on fire, and I only stand for a moment before sweating.

Liu Yu sighed, turned around and walked towards the city, at this moment, the war drums under the city suddenly rumbled, the Qi soldiers who rested on the city wall rushed to the city, nervous and waiting, the war drums in the Song army camp did not stop, but there was no sign of attack, although the soldiers were sweating profusely and in pain, but they did not dare to go down to the city.

At this moment, a large army came from the west, and the word 'Yue' was written on the banner, which was killed by Yue Fei's army.

However, Yue Fei's army did not launch an attack, and it was very good at merging into the camp and joining the main force of the Song army.

"Your Highness, the Song army is estimated to only consume the energy and physical strength of the soldiers, and has no intention of attacking the city."

Liu Yu shook his head, but even so, the defense of the city did not dare to take it lightly, at this time, Fan Qiong ran to suggest: "Your Highness, it is better to let the soldiers take turns to defend the city in three shifts, so as to ensure that most of the soldiers can rest." ”

Liu Yu thought for a while, "Then let's decide like this!" ”

Under Fan Qiong's orders, groups of troops began to withdraw from the city, and in the end only 6,000 men remained at the head of the city.

Liu Yu observed for a while, and saw that the Song army did not show signs of attacking the city, so he also went down to the city.

Due to Yue Fei's arrival, Li Yanqing convened a temporary military meeting, which was attended by Wang Gui, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Liu Guangshi.
