Since Liu Chuan came to sow discord, it stands to reason that he should not attack the city in a hurry. However, Liu Cheng did the opposite, and less than an hour after his 3,000-foot cavalry retreated, the Mongol army, which had almost rested, was already roaring.

It was already dusk, the sun was setting all over the sky, and black flags symbolizing the Mongol army were fluttering wantonly in the distance, horses' hooves trampling the land, and columns of cavalry were advancing forward. Behind them were a large group of foot soldiers with all sorts of siege engines.

The officials of the Southern Song Dynasty in the city were still thinking heavily, but they didn't dare to take it lightly at this time, so they could only leave the shock that Liu Cheng brought to them just now, and wholeheartedly repel the fierce attack in front of them.

According to the original deployment, Wang Shichang and Liu Xiong also hurriedly ran to the other city gates with their subordinates, although Luzhou only had one side of the east gate facing the enemy, but it was difficult to guarantee that there would be any accidents. What's more, the river is still quite quiet.

Liu Cheng's attack at this time was indeed unexpected, and the Song soldiers, who had just retreated from the city and had not had time to catch their breath, rushed to the city again quickly in the sound of drums, and all kinds of firearms, bows and crossbows were also ready at the fastest speed.

After all, the Luzhou garrison is the Luzhou garrison, which should be regarded as a rare elite in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is with the elite soldiers from Dazhou to Luzhou and then to Chongqing Prefecture and Hezhou Diaoyu City that the Southern Song Dynasty was able to hold the Sichuan-Shu defense line for so long, and there was a Mongolian emperor who died under the Diaoyu City, and finally had to force Kublai Khan to change the original plan and gather a large army to go south from Xiangyang.

The Mongol army came quickly, and the three cavalry teams of 1,000 men who rushed in front had already driven within the range of the Song army almost in an instant. Although most of the Song generals could not distinguish the difference between the Mongol cavalry at all, Ye Yingwu carefully discovered that these three thousand-man teams were actually composed of races vassal to Mongolia such as the Semu people and even the Jurchens, and even their banners were not all Mongolian characters.

After years of fighting in the Mongolian iron cavalry, the elite that can be preserved will naturally not be used as cannon fodder by Liu Cheng to test the Song army. These three thousand-strong teams also came to explore the pit of the Song army, and it is not too much to call them "cannon fodder".

Clear and calm shouts and orders came from all sections of the city wall, followed by the bed crossbow and the divine arm bow, and the strong bow and crossbow that the Song army relied on to destroy the cavalry of the northern land did not retain it at all at this time. Dense barrage of arrows swept through the Mongol cavalry.

Countless people screamed and fell off their horses, but as the flags danced in the wind, more cavalry followed, and the thin shields in their hands were also desperately raised, hoping to block a few arrows. Although Gundam and Ye Yingwu were temporarily dug pits, it did not mean that the number of pitfalls would be small, especially the uneven potholes of all sizes were irresistible to the charge of the Mongol cavalry.

And in these pits, there are not just simple bamboo sticks.

The roar was everywhere, and all kinds of earth-shaking thunder and gunpowder canisters that had been buried in the ground in advance exerted their due power at this time, and these primitive mine firearms did not even have a uniform shape and dose of gunpowder, but it did not prevent them from roaring wantonly at this time!

The rain of stones followed the arrows and smashed down on the head and face. Unlike the "return cannon" used in the first battle of the Mongol attack on Xiangyang, the trebuchet of the Song army was still relatively primitive, and the stones used were not the same huge stones, but the gravel that was used in a net. But when these fist-sized stones fall from the sky, it naturally feels uncomfortable.

The sophistication of the Song army's equipment showed its due power at this time. In the distance, among the Mongol army, there were also changes in banners, and a neat team of 1,000 people began to move forward, straight towards the majestic city in front.

In the end, less than 1,500 of the 3,000 Mongolian horses retreated safely from outside Luzhou, but it was precisely these more than half of the casualties that filled the entire pit outside Luzhou, and the Mongolian soldiers could calmly advance on the corpses of their robes.

At the same time, on the river, Zhang Shijie has not had time to mobilize ships to support Luzhou City, and the downstream sentinel ships have already hurriedly sent information, the Yushui Navy Division is less than five miles away from Luzhou, and their sentinel ships are also rampant, Zhang Shijie sent more than ten sentinel boats only this one has time to run back to report.

Fortunately, it was not too late to release the fireship at this time. More than 20 fireboats roared down the mighty river, and each boat was a shirtless sailor athlete, perhaps they controlled the fireboat to go here and there was a yin and yang, but no one hesitated.

Because they are Jinghu water masters, they are also the former two Huai water masters. On top of Zishui, he was able to wipe out the two major battles of the Zishui Naval Division against the deterrence of the upstream fireboats, and now he has the advantage of the upstream, how can he watch the Yushui Naval Division swagger in front of him?

After Zhang Shijie hurriedly sent someone to report to Luzhou City, he quickly adjusted his deployment, and thirty or forty Mengchong fast ships took the lead, followed by the fireboats, followed by the medium-sized warship brigade with a tight formation, and the building ship in the middle was the main force.

As a water war two knives, Zhang Shijie is still clear about how many catties and taels he has, and he is really not 100% sure in his heart when he rushes down so straight, so he simply connects the middle of the building ship with an iron cable, and small warships such as the Mengchong Clipper behind the building ship can calmly shuttle between the building ships.

As far as the eye can see, the walls of warships move slowly over the river at sunset, which is spectacular. At this time, the strength shown by the Southern Song Dynasty sailors was enough to make the world bow down.

Zhang Shijie did not surprise Ye Yingwu by doing this, after all, in the era of his previous life, Zhang Shijie had done this a lot, but at that time he did it in the lower reaches of the river. In the first battle of Jiaoshan, Zhang Shijie connected the war ship with iron cables, and the Mongolian sailors released the fireships to set fire to them, which was defeated, and the essence of the Southern Song Dynasty sailors was also burned.

And then in the Battle of Yashan, Zhang Shijie did not learn a lesson at all, and it was still a series of warships with iron cables, which led to the Mongolian naval division commanded by Zhang Hongfan to break through the wind, and the rest of the Song army's naval divisions also fell apart, and finally 100,000 people in Yashan went to sea, and the world was no longer owned by China.

Only this time, with a chain of iron cables from the upstream, maybe it will really have the desired effect.

Stretching out his hand to support the city wall, Ye Yingwu looked back in the direction of the river, if there was any place that made him feel most at ease, it must be the surface of the water. And in Ye Yingwu's heart, he was defeated by the crowd and then killed, Zhang Shijie has a criminal record in this matter.

An arrow roared through the air and swept past Ye Yingwu, and then Yang Bao and Jiang Tie, two cronies, rushed up with a roar, crushing Ye Yingwu, who had just been distracted, to the ground. If that arrow had been more off the beaten track just now, I'm afraid you would have to be hit by the arrow.

Wen Tianxiang and Yang Xu, who were not far away, also reacted at this time, and unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat. On the contrary, Ye Yingwu was pressed under two strong men with his whole body, and it was really pleasant. Kicking Yang Bao and Jiang Tie away fiercely, Ye Yingwu scolded and roared: "Do you two know how heavy you are, pressing on Lao Tzu, do you want Lao Tzu to lose his breath or what?!" ”

was kicked on the body, but it was okay to make Jun fine, Yang Bao and Jiang Tie sat on the ground and breathed a long sigh of relief. And several Ye Yingwu's personal guards had already pounced to block their own envoys, and their own Song army crossbowmen desperately released arrows from the battlements where Ye Yingwu was standing just now.

"Ge Laozi, this Tartar riding and shooting is really powerful!" Not far away, there was the roar of a soldier with an arrow, but it was really an authentic Sichuan sound.

The Mongolian infantry is still slowly advancing forward, and the Mongolian cavalry has been pouring out, constantly galloping past the city, and the riding and archery skills they have honed since childhood have also been shown to the extreme at this time, and there is a faint momentum of suppressing the Song army's bow and crossbow.

Fortunately, however, Gundam spotted these tricky creatures in time, and the Song crossbowmen retreated one after another to throw shots, replaced by impatient assault-armed soldiers who had been waiting for a long time. A dull roar replaced the crisp sound of the bowstring, and more of the Mongol cavalry were dismounted. Although the scattered iron beads fired by the assault rifle did not kill people, it was extremely painful to hit the body so densely.

The Mongol cavalry had to hurriedly dodge under the strong deterrence of the assault rifles, and with this effort, the Mongol infantry finally advanced to the city after leaving behind many corpses. The bows and crossbows in the phalanx of foot soldiers also began to desperately suppress the city.

Above the east gate of the entire Luzhou City, arrows are flying!

There were constantly Song soldiers screaming and falling, and more soldiers were constantly roaring in place of their companions. Behind them, countless Luzhou Minzhuang were busy carrying arrows and various other equipment for defending the city, all of whom were young offspring, all of whom were covered in short beatings, revealing large chunks of tendon flesh and wheat-colored skin.

If the city head needs it, they can rush forward at any time in place of the Song soldiers.

Luzhou, as an important border town, has long been a soldier for the whole people!

In the crossbow shooting, the Song army's bow and crossbow were much more sophisticated, and coupled with their condescending, they naturally had the upper hand. And Liu Quan was not to be outdone, hundreds of soldiers of the Mongol army had already roared and pushed the trebuchet to break into the range of the Song army, and large and small stones fell from the sky and swept the entire city.

Although the Gundam had made all the preparations, and all kinds of rattan wooden shields were raised, there was a posture to cover the sky and the sun, but in the end, it still couldn't stop these stones from coming out of the cracks and injuring the soldiers.

However, compared with the Mongol army killed and wounded under the Song army's trebuchet, the losses on the city can be said to be minimal.

In order to protect their trebuchets desperately rushing forward to control the soldiers, the Mongol cavalry also turned their horses' heads in anger regardless of casualties, and black flags symbolizing honor and indomitable danced in the wind and swept back to the ground.

Liu Quan naturally didn't just attack, but also a few teams of 1,000 people carrying simple siege equipment such as ladders and running towards several other city gates in Luzhou. We knew we wouldn't be able to capture it, but we had to contain at least some of Gundam's forces there. At this time, the main force of Zhang Shijie's sailors had already gone east, so the few Song warships left behind could not cover the entire city gate.

Luzhou is still Luzhou in the end, and Sichuan and Shu are second only to the fortified cities of Diaoyu City.

Even before rushing to the place where the ladder could be erected, more than half of the 1,000-strong Mongolian infantry had already suffered casualties, but the soldiers behind still did not hesitate to come out of the crowd.

As Liu Quan's banner changed, several large ladder trucks also began to move forward.

"Rocket!" Gundam roared. Those simple ladders are actually not very threatening, and it is these large ladder trucks that can really threaten the city.

The crossbowmen of the Song Army, who had also suffered a lot of losses in the shooting just now, rushed forward one after another, and one after another fire arrows were released quickly, and the top of the huge iron arrows of the bed crossbow was also tied with a fire thistle.

At this distance, only a few rockets can reach the ladder truck, not to mention that the outside of the ladder truck will be coated with fireproof plaster, unless it is burned by a large fire, it is difficult to ignite it. The rockets just burned the sparkling sparks, and then they dissipated again.

And the thick iron arrows fired by the bed crossbow were more likely to plow a bloody path among the siege soldiers, and then exploded in the crowd, setting off a sky full of blood and minced flesh.

The ladders had been erected on the city at this time, and if you looked at it from a distance, the Mongolian soldiers climbing the ladders looked like black lines that had been spreading all the way to the city. It's just that these simple ladder gundams really haven't been taken into account.

If Luzhou is broken by these simple ladders, then it will be truly smiling and generous. Even without Gundam's orders, the Song soldiers skillfully lifted the stone and threw it from the battlement, and the gold juice and hot oil sent from the city were also poured one after another, and the screams of the Mongolian soldiers under the city could be heard continuously.

In front of the oncoming gold juice and hot oil, you can only hold your head and run around with three heads and six arms. One shield after another was raised in vain, and every inch of skin exuded billowing heat!

Of course, these are not the most extreme, under the shocked gaze of the defenders of Luzhou, the soldiers of the hundred battles under the command of Ye Yingwu rushed up with thistles in their hands, and threw them under the city at the same time, dense explosions and screams rose one after another under the city, and the defenders in the city also subconsciously took a breath, these guys are really vicious.

It's just that they are really bold, you must know that there is such a thing as thistle, looking at the whole Luzhou, I am afraid that only a few old soldiers have the courage to take it and throw it out in their hands.

Regarding the looks of the surrounding Luzhou defenders, Ye Yingwu only smiled slightly. The reason why thistle, as the predecessor of the grenade, was not taken seriously and played its due role in dealing with the northern cavalry, had a lot to do with the timidity of the soldiers.

The soldiers of this era are just casually practiced twice and then pulled into the battlefield, where is the courage to throw a new thing that will explode at any time? You must know that in later generations, if you want to throw grenades accurately, you also need to put a lot of effort.

In fact, now the hundred battles are just lit and thrown indiscriminately, but it is better than the rest of the Luzhou defenders who don't even dare to throw it, and can only launch it with the help of bed crossbows. And the expressions of the Luzhou generals such as Gundam looking at the Hundred Battles have also changed.

The Tianwu Army is known as a strong army, and it really lives up to its reputation.

The Song army's head seemed to be throwing endless city defense equipment, which made the Mongolian soldiers under the city suffer a lot, but it is good to say that their own ladder car has slowly appeared, although dense rockets continue to hit it, and there is a ladder car has come out of the billowing smoke, injustice is better than nothing.

The giant tree that crashed into the city was also slowly pushed up with the ladder truck. More Mongol cavalry roared past the city, their bows and crossbows firing indiscriminately. These Mongolian cavalry are actually enduring the battle, and now it is summer, and it is very uncomfortable for them to sweat profusely, but as soon as they see their own robes and rampant Song army bows and crossbows, the Mongolian cavalry at this time have also fought strongly, saying that they can't drop the chain.

However, Liu Quan also knew the weight of the Mongolian cavalry, and the flag waved, and the Mongolian cavalry retreated like a tide. The Mongol infantry brigade that was originally besieging the city also began to slowly retreat, and the crossbowmen desperately released arrows to suppress the city.

Three ladder trucks came out of the crowd.
