Jin Bing shot more than a dozen rounds of oil barrels, changed his tactics, and switched to lighted fireballs, and dozens of fireballs emitting black smoke rose into the air and flew towards the city.

At the same time, the Song army at the head of the city also completed the installation of the bed crossbow, the bed crossbow is currently the longest-range defensive weapon, which can project stout arrows to a thousand steps away, of course, that is only the range, for the lethality of ordinary soldiers, about seven hundred steps is enough, and to deal with trebuchets, nest cars and other large siege weapons, at least about five hundred steps.

However, the use of the bed crossbow is not very good, it is not like trebuchets, fire cannons and other large defensive weapons can be placed at the back end of the city, and the bed crossbow must be placed in front, which leads to the bed crossbow occupies too much combat window, affecting the soldier's crossbow arrow launch, and after the popularization of firearms, the disadvantages of the small killing range of the bed crossbow are also highlighted, it is this contradiction that makes the bed crossbow gradually no longer used.

And today is because Jin Bing used a long-distance giant trebuchet, so that the Song army could not think of any other cracking scheme except for the bed crossbow, but the installation and commissioning of the bed crossbow was also very cumbersome, when the installation and commissioning of the three hundred bed crossbows was finally completed, the fire attack of the Jin soldiers began.

A huge fireball smashed on the city wall, bounced high, or fell at the foot of the city wall, igniting the fire oil outside the city, Bianliang North City Wall suddenly blazing, thick smoke filled, and more than a dozen fireballs swept through the city wall and fell into the city, but also ignited the fire oil that has not been cleaned up in the city, but compared to the flames outside the city to vacate, the situation in the city is much more, most of the overflowing fire oil in the city is covered with sediment, except for part of the oozing oil and gas is ignited, basically no serious consequences have been caused.

There are also several fire points on the head of the city, mainly concentrated in the eastern section, which is also caused by the fact that six barrels of fire oil in a row fall accurately on the head of the city and the soldiers can not deal with the fire in time, there are three fire points, and the fire area is about five or six zhang, which is nothing for the city wall that is more than ten miles long.

"General Qiyu, the bed crossbow has been installed!" A soldier shouted to Liu Qian.

Liu Jian shouted, "Shoot!" ”

Three hundred bed crossbows were fired at the same time, and three hundred iron arrows the thickness of wine glasses and four feet long rose into the air and roared towards the trebuchet four hundred paces away, 'Bang! Bang! There was a loud crash on the trebuchet of the golden soldiers, and thirteen trebuchets were shot by the crossbow arrows, eleven of which hit the wooden pillars, and the damage was not great, while the two trebuchets were shot at the belts, which were broken and quickly torn apart by the tremendous pull, 'Boom! The two trebuchets collapsed, and the soldiers next to them were so frightened that they dodged, but the five-foot-long throwing pole fell to the ground, still injuring several people.

At this time, a second round of 300 bed crossbow arrows came, and two more trebuchets were destroyed and collapsed.

Wanyan Zongwang's face was gloomy and a little ugly, and he thought that the seamless attack plan was showing signs of failure.

He took it for granted when he made the plan, how could it be possible to throw oil barrels four hundred steps away, each barrel could fall exactly at the head of the city, and it would be good to have two percent of them fall at the head of the city, in the final analysis, because the number of trebuchets was too small.

At this time, a soldier rushed over and said, "Deputy Marshal Qiqi, Marshal Du asked you to change the boulder attack!" ”

Wanyan Zongwang nodded, and shouted: "Change the boulder to attack!" ”

The trebuchet was changed to a boulder attack, and at this time, the Song army's bed crossbow shot out the fourth round, this round was sharper, and five trebuchets were shot down, and the Jin soldiers only had forty trebuchets left, all of which were loaded with boulders, and squeaked and opened the throwing rod.

"Shoot!" Wanyan Zongwang gave an order, the drum beat loudly, and forty throwing rods were swung out at the same time, and a black spot appeared in the sky, and it shot towards the city head quickly.

"No, it's a boulder!"

The soldiers at the top of the city shouted, and the soldiers crouched down, 'Boom! Rumble! The boulder was far louder than the barrel, and the boulder slammed against the walls, shaking the soldiers around them.

"Get out of the way!"

A boulder roared down, and the soldier shouted out of the way, 'Boom! The boulder struck the battlements, and the rubble flew all over it, and the hundred-pound boulder bounced up again, swept over the heads of a group of soldiers, and smashed it on a trebuchet, and with a click, the main shaft of the trebuchet was broken, and the trebuchet shook and fell down into the city.

Immediately afterwards, another trebuchet and a fire cannon were also knocked over by the boulder, and the first round of boulder attacks caused the loss of two trebuchets and one fire cannon.

The soldiers also suffered losses, a boulder fell over their heads and smashed into the city, just in the middle of a crowd of auxiliaries, killing thirteen people and wounding more than twenty, and several female soldiers rushed to the city and began to rush to rescue the wounded.

The big crossbow was fired, the boulder flew quickly, and after seven or eight rounds of fighting, the losses gradually increased, and nearly half of the giant trebuchets of the golden soldiers had been destroyed, and the trebuchets and fire cannons at the head of the city had also lost nearly twenty.

Wan Yan Xian's face was also a little gloomy, there were one hundred and twenty trebuchets on the other side's head in Guangbei City, and now they only destroyed less than one percent, while their own trebuchets have lost nearly half, needless to say, they have already lost this trebuchet battle.

Wan Yan Xian was also a little dissatisfied with Wan Yan Zongwang in his heart, his plan would not work at all, if he continued to fight like this, the morale of the army would be lost, Wan Yan Xian didn't want to wait any longer, and coldly ordered: "Order the army to attack the city!" ”

"Deputy marshal, Marshal Du has an order, and the army will attack the city immediately!"

Wanyan Zongwang's heart was a little bitter, he knew that Wanyan Xian was already dissatisfied with himself, they did lose the upper hand in this long-distance battle, the opponent's bed crossbow has a large strength, a long range, and a fast winding, although the lethality of a single arrow is far inferior to the situation, but the victory lies in the number, and more importantly, the other party is condescending and occupies a great advantage, so it is not surprising that they are in a passive state.

Wanyan Zongwang had no choice but to order: "Pass my order, the third and fourth armies attack!" ”

The third army and the fourth army are composed of the army of the Bohai people, the Bohai people are also the people of the Yan Dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty, the leader of the Su Mo Jin Yan Da Zuorong established the Bohai State in Liaodong, completely imitating the Tang system to build the country, the country is quite prosperous, but in the end it was destroyed by the Khitan, the subjects of the Bohai State are called the Bohai people, in the process of the Jin State destroying the Liao State, the Bohai people also made a lot of strength, so that they have a high status in the Jin State, second only to the Jurchens.

The Bohai soldiers were equipped exactly the same as the Jurchens, wearing iron armor, iron helmets, spears and bronze shields, and they participated in most of the battles to destroy the Liao, and their combat effectiveness was very strong, and they also had a lot of experience in siege.

'Boom! Boom! Boom! 'The fierce drums of war are beating,

20,000 Bohai Golden Soldiers rushed towards the head of the northern city like a tide, mixed with thirty nest carts in the crowd, and followed the team slowly.

The siege team got closer and closer, entering the killing range of the trebuchet, Liu Jian gave an order, and a hundred trebuchets at the head of the city were launched at the same time, and a hundred swarthy earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown into the crowd.
