He had seen how easy it was to destroy a city wall with the thunderbolt cannon that he had learned from the country, and the thunderbolt cannon of the Song people was more than twice as tall as those imitations, and the power would only be more terrifying. Trapped in the city, you can only sit and watch the stone bullets tear down the walls of the city wall little by little, and there will never be a good result. If you fight hard, you can destroy these thunderbolt cannons, and you will definitely immediately order to gamble your luck. However, the snow that was more than a foot thick made him dispel all thoughts of fighting, and the iron harrier who could not run fast in the snow would only become the target of the divine arm bow.

"Even if it's smashed, the snow is so thick, don't even think about attacking it if you smash the city wall." He muttered to himself. After he had moved out of the ship and catapult, the thick snow was safer than the city walls in his eyes. He had ordered the defenders to withdraw from the city, leaving only the banner. This city wall, if it is bad, let him be bad.

The soldiers who hurriedly went down to the city were a little chaotic, and Wei Ming's burial turned his head and scolded him twice, then turned around and ordered: "Let Barang also evacuate people from the wall, as long as people are not hit by stone bullets, the wall can be repaired again if it is broken." ”

A messenger hung down from the head of the city with the commander's order, and ran to the camp not far away to give the order.

Wei Ming's burial had already calmed down at this time, and the panic after seeing the spaceship had already been left after he found that the Song people's beast head spaceship was greatly deflected to the south in the north wind in the valley, and had to be tied to the ground by ropes.

It's just a nest car! No worries.

Wei Ming's burial leaned against the wall, looking at the mountains and rivers covered in silver. There are thousands of hills and ravines in the area of the Wuding River, and if you walk forward along the river valley for a mile, you can pass through more than a dozen ditches on both sides, and it is difficult to prevent sneak attacks on such terrain, and sneak attacks are very simple.

Don't think that he doesn't have a back hand, Wei Ming's burial is ruthless as he pinched the snow on the wall.

Ever since he was transferred to Luo Wu City, he knew that he was the most likely to be treated as an outcast. In order to save his life, he has thought of any tricks. Although Wei Ming's intelligence is not high, he can't stand his desperate efforts to save his life.

The staff of the famous Ah Bury are accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when he looks at Ah Bury's expression, he knows what he is thinking, and says with a smile: "It has been a while since the Song people arrived in the city, and the initial precautions must have been relaxed, and they even gave a big gift last night. As long as the Song people can't capture this city today, it will look good at night. ”

"The river valley is narrow, and if you camp in the valley, don't think about fire prevention." Wei Ming Ah Bury said coldly.

"Lift a cigarette! Notify the children outside! He let out another roar.

At this time, let the Song people be more proud, and most of the wolf smoke will be taken as a signal of urgency by them. Turning around and staring at the spaceship in the sky again, Wei Ming's bury turned around and went down to the city.

The enemy troops in the city of Luowu withdrew from the city, and the western thieves in the walled outside the city also gave up a section of the walled wall, and this change was immediately transmitted from the spaceship to the hands of the planters.

He glanced at it indifferently and threw it aside. What the thief will do, it doesn't matter at all.

"It's wolf smoke!" Chong Pu's cry was faintly excited.

Several black plumes of smoke rose from the city at this time, and dispersed high into the sky.

"It's not yet official... He was already about to go north for help. The simple and cheerful Da Lang smiled: "The snow here is one foot thick, and there are three feet in Xiangling, Mahuchuan and Lixiangping, where can I come to the rescue?!" ”

"Even if you come, you can find it early." Chong Jianzhong put the excitement in his heart and said calmly.

"Are the thunderbolts ready?" He ignored what his nephew was saying, and asked his generals in front.

The general knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and shouted: "Just wait for the order of the captain." ”

"Let's get started." The tone of the seed is indifferent.

The calm tone immediately triggered a storm.

Almost all of the more than 60 thunderbolt guns were aimed at the military village. The thunderbolt cannon in the center was fired first, and the forearm loaded with heavy objects fell downward, and the long pole of the hindarm suddenly swooped out, and with a whoosh sound, nearly fifty pounds of stone bullets were thrown far away. Drawing a perfect arc, the place where the stone bullet fell was still some distance from the wall.

The cannon crew that controls this thunderbolt cannon immediately added a counterweight stone block to the forearm, and the second time it was fired, the stone bullet hit the wall squarely, and there was a crisp sound of jamming, and the wooden wall could suddenly crash into a gap.

It took only two rounds to determine the counterweight. The data obtained was immediately transmitted to each artillery crew. In the first round of volleys, one-third of them accurately flew into the military fortress of the party members or smashed on the wall. In the second and third rounds, the hit rate was above 30%. Thunderbolt artillery, which relies on counterweights and standardized stone projectiles to determine its range, is stable and efficient.

In an instant, like a storm of bullets and rain attacks, the defenders in the village were completely desperate, the Xixia people did not have no guards here, but if they wanted to compare with the Song people, the gap was too big. The thunderbolt cannons hidden in the city, compared with the thunderbolt cannons under the city, are like elementary school students who have just passed the Mongolian school, and compare them with the tribute students who have passed the tribute examination and are about to enter Beijing to take the Jinshi examination.

The wall facing the south has been destroyed. After the flying stone bullets drilled into the village, they rampage through it, and a miserable scream resounded through the sky. The open space that was originally vacated to avoid stone bullets has now been greatly expanded.

"It's time for the sled."

A sleigh cart carrying the foot soldiers of the Song army rushed out of the camp. What was originally a vehicle to transport food is now a vehicle for transporting soldiers across the snow.

In addition to the hundreds of horses, there were more than 500 war horses for the cavalry, which were originally used as scouts and rangers, but now that it is snowing, all of them are useless. In terms of food, the Song army of 20,000 horses consumed much less food than the western thieves stationed inside and outside Luowu City—there were at least three or four thousand horses on the opposite side, and a war horse could consume almost five to ten times as much forage and grain as ordinary people.

But after all, it was 20,000 people, and it was not so easy to maintain the supply line, but fortunately there were sleds at this time.

Transporting grain in the mountains on a sleigh is much easier than transporting it by cart or mule. A hundred sleigh carts came all the way along the ice-covered Wuding River, and there was no need to mobilize tens of thousands of people as in the past, and it was very easy to maintain the food supply of the 20,000-strong army. There is also a reason why there is no need to levy the people.

So you have to wait until winter and wait until it snows.

Watching the sleigh cart carrying the Song army rushing towards the wall, the Luo Wu City Lord, who was hurriedly urged to the head of the city by his subordinates, had cold hands and feet, and his brain was dizzy.

Compared with flying boats, thunderbolt cannons, divine arm bows, horse swords, and plate armor, among the ordnance of the Song people, the sled car is not famous at all. Where would Wei Ming Ah Bury have thought that the Song people still have such a trick, and they would have a vehicle that can easily transport soldiers on the snow.

It is estimated that there are as many as four or five hundred foot soldiers of the Song army on the car, almost one commander, and if they are allowed to get off the car outside the village and form a formation, it is absolutely impossible to annihilate them in a moment. And during this time, the Song people's sleigh car could still carry a few conductors to rush over. Once two or three thousand Song soldiers were allowed to form a formation to attack the stockade that had no walls, it would be impossible for the defenders in the walled village to hold it at all.

Hurriedly nodded to his nephew, "Secret, quickly lead the army out of the city to intercept!" ”

Wei Ming's secret obeyed the order, and immediately led a thousand iron harriers out of the city.

"It's too late."

When Wei Mingyu Mishang was reorganizing the soldiers and horses on the inside of the city gate, he had already received the news.

The snow hindered the charge of the party cavalry, like ants crawling on white paper, moving little by little. The chariots of the Song army were also covered with snow, but they were even faster than the party cavalry. The seemingly small difference in speed allowed the Song army to line up one step in advance, and shoot people on their backs with a strong crossbow.

No matter how majestic the war horse is, it is bound to be difficult to carry a burden of two hundred catties of armor on its back, and it is still trekking in the snow. The sleigh puller, on the other hand, only has to drag the carriage behind him. Although the sleigh is not as fast as the two-legged run on weekdays, the iron harriers that come and go like the wind can only fall behind and eat ashes.

A series of crossbow arrows came out of the divine arm bow in the hands of the Song army who got out of the car and formed a rainfall of arrows towards the enemy who avoided the turn. The defenders of the fortress planned to launch a counterattack to help the battleman, but the Thunderbolt artillery continued to attack, and they were replaced by mud and gravel bullets that could splash and hurt people, causing several times as many casualties in the fortress in a matter of moments.

"Good shot!" Chongpu clenched his right hand into a fist and shouted.

"The thief is definitely going to retreat." Chong Jianzhong said.

As the construction said, as the sleigh carried people out of the village for the second time, the horn of the withdrawal of troops at the head of Luowu City sounded hastily, and the iron harriers brought out by Wei Mingmi began to retreat, and the defenders in the camp also hurriedly escaped from the north gate and turned back to Luowu City in a circle. Before leaving, they set a fire in the camp, but it failed to burn.

Looking at the official army from afar and rushing into the military village left by the Western Thieves, in the midst of cheering and winning, Chong Pu shook his head: "I didn't expect it to be so easy, the Western Thieves are really useless, and there is no comparison with decades ago!" ”

"It's the officers and soldiers who are far better than in the past." Chong Jianzhong said with a smile. With a divine weapon and an absolute advantage, this battle is too easy, and I never dared to think of it in the past.

You Shixiong, who had just come up from behind, was steady and reminded: "Western thieves are used to tricks, so you should be careful. ”

"It's true that it's not the time to be proud, let's wait for you to call Xingqing Mansion to talk about it." He taught his nephew a lesson with a face, and pointed to the city in front of him, "Break the city first today, and take down Luowu City for me." …… No matter what other plans Wei Ming Ah Bury has, there will be nothing left after defeating Luo Wu City. ”

On the twenty-seventh day of October in the eighth year of Xining, the Song army recovered Luowu City and beheaded more than 3,000 people.

But at the same time, 30,000 Western Xia troops appeared in Fengzhou, the northwest corner of the Hedong Road, which at the same time bordered the Western Xia and the Xijing Road of the Liao State. Caught off guard, the city of Toyoshu, which had less than 2,000 defenders, only held out for two days before it fell. The Linfu army was unable to rescue, but was ambushed in the middle of the road, and the main general Zhi Kexing fought hard to escape, so he could only lead the army back to the town of Benzhou and hold on to wait for help......

Since then, the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers have only understood that whether it is the attack on Qin Fenglu or the insistence on Luowu City, it is just a pretense, and the purpose of the party is to involve the Liao State from the beginning.

On the same day that news of the fall of Toyosu arrived in Tokyo, a fleet full of troops sailed from the port of Yong An Chau in Cochin [present-day Mong Cai, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam] to the south, and the direction of the bow of the ship ...... It's the north.
