I have to say that because all the scouts have no news, the town navy was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the Mongolian cavalry, but after all, it is the town navy, Su Liuyi has trained the elite force for more than a month in the way of the Tianwu army, even if it is the first time to go to the battlefield, it still shows tenacity beyond the Huai army.

A shield-bearer was the first to burst out of the tent, followed by spearmen and crossbowmen who skillfully scattered out, their steps constantly adjusted to minimize the risk of being shot by arrows. But after all, it was the cavalry of more than 5,000 Mongolian cavalrymen, such as Si Weili, and it was not the "little tricks" of the town navy that could cope with it.

Among the raining arrows, soldiers continued to scream and fall, but the robe beside him still stepped forward without hesitation. They are the town navy, how can the town navy be scared because of a few simple arrows!

What's more, there are some of the officers and soldiers of the town navy who were originally the soldiers of the right wing of the Tianwu army, and the Tianwu army showed its majesty in Xiangyang, which made them envious and jealous for a long time, and now it is finally their turn to play, and they have to let the Mongolian Tartars see the ability of our town navy.

"Crossbowmen!" Wang Dayong's face sank like water, and he was not too panicked, after all, after the scout lost the news, he had already realized that something was wrong, but before he could prepare the left wing of the town navy, the Mongolian cavalry had already roared.

Wang Dayong and Wang Huchen are known as the "double kings" of the town and navy, one is the commander of the left compartment, and the other is the commander of the front chamber. They are also young generals who have been appreciated and promoted by Ye Yingwu and have emerged among the soldiers. Although I don't know what the performance of the front compartment will be like now, Wang Dayong can't make the left compartment collapse with anything.

(Author's note: In the official history, Wang Huchen and Wang Dayong defended Shayang Fort side by side. The new city defended by Bian Juyi was a horn of each other, and they were outnumbered. The two were captured, and they would rather die than give in, Boyan conquered Xincheng, and killed Wang Huchen and Wang Dayong because of the attack on the two cities of Shayang.

Just like the commanders of all the Tianwu Army were dissatisfied with each other when they mentioned their subordinates, although the "two kings" of the town navy were neck and neck, each wanted to suppress the other, and now they are really on the battlefield. It's the best time to verify.

It seems that in order to balance the mentality of the two subordinate generals, Zhang Shijie had to let the left and front compartments of the town navy take turns to be stationed in the north of the city, and now it happens that the left wing of the town navy is facing the sudden Mongolian cavalry.

With Wang Dayong's order, the running crossbowmen quickly stood still, and at the same time pulled the trigger. And more soldiers rushed to the bed crossbow not far away. Against the close and dense Mongol cavalry, this kind of giant crossbow is more useful.

However, sensing that the Song army in the camp had stabilized its pace, the Mongolian cavalry unexpectedly retreated from both sides of the wall, and the Mongolian Han infantry in the brigade was already out of breath and rushed up with the cavalry.

The pace of the Mongol infantry attack surprised everyone. This is not the original style of the Mongolian Tartar at all, if it were to be changed, it must have been after the two sides had entertained each other with arrows before the foot soldiers attacked.

This time, the Mongolian foot rider not only came quickly. And the attack is also very fast, and it doesn't seem to take those tall walls into account.

And Zhang Shijie, who was standing on the wall of Lianzhou, couldn't help frowning. He seemed to have understood why the Mongol Tartars had done this, for there was only such a continuous and long attack that was like a wave. In order to keep a close enough distance between the Song army and the Mongolian infantry cavalry, so that the gap between the bow and crossbow equipment of the two sides can be minimized. After all, the distance is so close, even if you don't aim, you can kill the enemy.

What's more, the close distance between the Song army and the Mongolian infantry made the flying thunder cannon carefully covered with dust cloth around Zhang Shijie not work at all! The Song army can't attack their own wall.

Zhang Shijie smiled bitterly, no wonder the Mongol Tatar attack came so late, obviously Huai Du made such an attack after seriously considering how to deal with the powerful new firearms of the Song army. This is why the Mongol infantry attack dragged on until noon on the day after the Battle of the Five Rivers.

If you explain it this way, it all makes sense. However, the most important thing that Zhang Shijie needs to solve now is how to repel the Mongolian infantry cavalry.

The gate of Lianzhou City has been opened, and the front compartment of the town navy quickly left the city.

The Mongolian infantry cavalry obviously also discovered the situation here, and the two Mongolian cavalry thousand-man teams quickly turned their horses' heads and charged in the direction of the city gate. There is no moat in Lianzhou, and if you can rush in before the city gate is closed, I'm afraid the whole of Lianzhou will be at your fingertips.

Zhang Shijie smiled coldly: "Bed crossbow!" ”

In fact, there was no need for him to order, the bed crossbow at the head of the city had been pulled into a full moon, and waiting for Zhang Shijie's order, more than a dozen soldiers who pulled the giant crossbow roared at the same time and suddenly released the bowstring. Thick arrows roared down from the city.

"The heavily armored soldiers open the way, the crossbowmen cover, and the rest of the sons and daughters rush along the wall!" Wang Huchen roared angrily, he was in the battle situation, naturally not as clear as Zhang Shijie standing on the head of the city, but he also knew very well that he had to drive away these Mongolian infantry who were close to the wall.

The crossbowmen in the front compartment of the town navy quickly aimed at the Mongolian cavalry who were getting closer and closer, fortunately, they were not far out of the city, and there were the Chinese army at the head of the city and the crossbowmen in the rear compartment to cover, which was more than enough to deal with the three Mongolian thousand teams.

The arrows fired from the bed crossbow wreaked havoc among the Mongol cavalry, and the Mongol cavalry also bent their bows and arrows at the town's naval non-commissioned officers who had just left the city gate. The arrows roared, and before the two sides made contact, the battle had already been pushed to a fever pitch through a dense barrage of arrows.

The Mongol cavalry came too fast, and although the crossbowmen of the town navy practiced a lot, it was also the first time to go to the battlefield, and under the dual effect of nervousness and inexperience, most of the arrows fell behind the Mongolian cavalry.

The thousand-strong squad that rushed to the front crashed straight into the array of heavily armored soldiers in the front compartment of the town's navy, and the heavily armored soldiers numbered only a few hundred, although they stood there one by one with huge axes. It looks very strong, but the Mongol cavalry knows it well. As long as they rushed past these terrible big men, the Song crossbowmen and lightly armored foot soldiers behind them were just fish on the board at their mercy.

And because only half of the people in the front compartment of the town navy went out of the city, they were blocked by the Mongol cavalry. So the gates were still wide open.

Zhang Shijie pressed the city wall to death, Lianzhou is a small city, and of course things like moats and urn cities are inadequate, otherwise Zhang Shijie can completely put this Tartar cavalry that does not know the height of the sky into the urn city, and then concentrate the arrows and let them all go to see Yama.

Fortunately, the heavily armored soldiers finally lived up to expectations and finally slowed down the charge of the Mongol cavalry. Originally, the best thing for the Mongol cavalry was to disrupt the opponent's position by constantly riding and shooting at a fast horse speed, and then decide the victory with one blow, but now the temptation of the city gate in front of them is too great. After all, I still didn't act according to common sense, and now I finally tasted the bitterness.

Once the cavalry loses speed, it is the best target for the condescending crossbowmen. Arrows rained down on the city wall for a while, after all, those heavily armored soldiers didn't care about arrows at all, even the arrows of the divine arm crossbow could not penetrate their heavy infantry armor, but the Mongolian cavalry was different, the armor they relied on to dominate the world was very thin, and there were only two options for injury and death in the face of arrow strikes.

"Spearmen. Spike! A long group of spearmen at the back of the palace finally rushed out of the city gate after many of their own soldiers were killed and wounded, and thousands of soldiers still lined up in a neat line with burning anger in their eyes, and ran forward quickly.

Zhang Shijie raised his hand suddenly. The crossbows on the city walls came to an abrupt end. The next moment, the spearmen in the front compartment had smashed into the scattered ranks of the Mongol cavalry.

On the other side of the camp, Wang Huchen took the lead, followed by the soldiers in the front of the town navy. Sweeping the Mongolian Han family along the walled wall is like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. However, it soon became clear that something was wrong. The remaining 2,000 or so Mongol cavalry quickly outflanked them, and the arrows fired by the horses were chaotic. Fell into the front compartment of the pawn.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, followed by a flurry of stone bullets.

The Mongols had been hiding trebuchets that they did not have the guts to use, and finally had to go into battle. And the foot soldiers of the brigade appeared in the sky again, and ran quickly in this direction, carrying a lot of ladders and other equipment.

I have to say that the sudden power of the trebuchet still frightened the Song army, especially the many trebuchets directly threw the burning coals, which made the two watchtowers behind the wall be ignited, and the fire rose into the sky, like two torches, which were extremely eye-catching.

And the rainstorm-like stones slammed on the wall, the door, and also smashed on the Song soldiers who were caught off guard, and in a short period of time, the Song soldiers in the camp fell in large pieces, and Wang Dayong's teeth were almost crushed, but for this kind of long-range, powerful trebuchet, he was also helpless, after all, there were dense Mongolian soldiers outside the wall, and the bed crossbow had no way to exert its might.

"Finally, I can't help it." Zhang Shijie sneered, but his heart breathed a sigh of relief, "Flying Thunder Cannon!" ”

The craftsmen and soldiers who controlled the Flying Thunder Cannon had already been impatient to wait, and if it weren't for the Mongol Tatars, a group of foot riders rushed straight to the bottom of the camp, I'm afraid the Flying Thunder Cannon would have blown them up into the sky. Not to mention the Anyang Beach in Xiangyang, just yesterday's flying thunder cannon in Wuhekou was majestic, which has already made these craftsmen and soldiers envious, and now they also want to use these flying thunder cannons to write their own merits.

It's just that the Mongolian trebuchet chose to be silent after a short and intensive projectile, but the Song soldiers still estimated the hiding place of the other party, and ten flying thunder cannons simultaneously exposed black cannon holes into the sky, and soon after, a unique muffled sound echoed on the city wall.

Along the horizon, explosions sounded at the same time!

Although he had already anticipated the power of the flying thunder cannon, Zhang Shijie felt that his heart was still jerked, and he was obviously frightened. And the surrounding town naval sergeants erupted in exclamations.

There was no need for Zhang Shijie's command, the flying thunder cannon sounded again, but this time it extended farther away, and soon there was already a flash of fire between heaven and earth in the distance, obviously the Mongolian trebuchet had been hit by the flying thunder cannon.

The craftsmen and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention the magnitude of the first bombardment, but they could already see that they had not hit many trebuchets, and it was clear that the Mongol Tartars had expected the bombardment, so they hurried to the rear to transfer the trebuchets. In a hurry, the craftsmen and soldiers did not think much about it. Bombarded straight to the rear just now, but it was crooked.

However, Yu Hou, who was in charge of the flying thunder cannon, still reluctantly bowed his hand to Zhang Shijie: "General Qiyu." Just now it was already the maximum distance that the flying thunder cannon could reach, and I am afraid that most of the Mongolian Tatar trebuchets had already been transferred. ”

Zhang Shijie nodded. In fact, he was very pleased to be able to achieve such a result.

And the fierce battle under the city is still the same. The Mongolian infantry saw the power of the flying thunder cannon, and knew that they had no way to retreat at all, once they retreated into the wasteland, there was only one possibility of being bombarded by the flying thunder cannon, so they all tried their best to rush forward to kill, and those Song soldiers who met with their swords and soldiers were actually the best talisman at this time.

More than 2,000 Mongol cavalry appeared in the sky, but these cavalry scattered very widely. Obviously, he was also afraid of being bombarded by flying thunder cannons. Zhang Shijie also knew that it was estimated that even if it was bombarded, the effect would not be very good, so he did not order the cannon.

Instead, several old trebuchets in the city tried to roar twice, but not even a single Mongol cavalry hit.

"The Tartars' hole cards are basically already here." Zhang Shijie looked at the battle situation under the city, along the wall, the left and front compartments of the town navy fought very hard, after all, the number of enemies opposite them was not quite a lot at all, and they were all desperate.

The 3,000 Mongol cavalry who stormed the city gate at the beginning were still more than 1,000 at this time, but the city gate had been slammed shut. Therefore, they simply put aside the spearmen in the front compartment and went straight to the direction of the camp, so that Wang Huchen, who was already inseparable from the Mongol cavalry under the wall, had to squeeze out a part of the spearmen to block the cavalry from the flank.

"Bang!" Just then, a loud bang was heard. The gate of the camp has been smashed open. No one expected that in addition to carrying a lot of ladders, the Mongolian soldiers who came later also carried a crashing log. Maybe this not too big striking log is a little difficult to deal with the city gate, but it is a little difficult to deal with the walled gate that has been taken care of by the trebuchet just now. But it's more than enough.

Especially in the camp, the watchtowers have been burned, so no one saw the Mongolian Tartars have been carrying the battering wood to hit the gate of the village for a while.

"Not good. Semen knife car! Wang Dayong's face changed, and he immediately roared angrily.

――――――――――――――-

Weng Yinglong slowly pushed open the door.

The lobby is a bit dark, filled with a strong smell of alcohol and a debluster atmosphere.

Jia Rudao was lying in the arms of a gorgeous woman, holding a wine jug in her hand, while several other beauties massaged his legs. The table was flipped on its side, and all the pieces that had once filled the table had been poured on the ground like snow on the ground.

Weng Yinglong sighed softly, as if it was because of the opening of the door that a ray of light shone on his face, Jia Yidao slowly opened his hazy drunken eyes, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then recognized who it was, and couldn't help laughing:

"Come on, come on, accompany the old man to drink this pot of wine! Xiao Cui, you go and serve Yaozhou well! Yaozhou, why didn't you see Ying Long, don't you two often come together! ”

Weng Yinglong was stunned, and saw that the concubines of Jia Yidao also showed helpless expressions on their faces, and immediately understood that Jia Xianggong was already drunk at this time, and he was able to recognize himself as Liao Yingzhong, and asked himself where he went!

However, there is no way for Jia Yidao to be drunk, the matter can't drag on like this anymore, Weng Yinglong immediately stiffened his head and said: "Qi Xianggong, my subordinates came here this time to ask Xianggong, how should Ye Yingwu's request be answered." ”

Jia Rudao violently pushed away the concubine, obviously the three words "Ye Yingwu" made him still feel a lot of stimulation when he was already drunk, and the old man laughed at the moment: "Ye Yingwu?!" Okay, yes, Ye Yingwu, what does the old man do to him Ye Yingwu! Just drinking, just drinking! ”

couldn't help but squeeze out a bitter smile, Weng Yinglong turned around lonely, and didn't even mean to say goodbye to Jia Xiang, he had already seen it very clearly, for Ye Yingwu, Jia Xianggong was really helpless now, after all, Ye Yuanjun, who had a sudden rise from the army, not to mention the strong army for the time being, now he is in control of the hearts of the people in the world!

Coercing the power of the imperial court, what can Jia Xianggong do even if he has the ability to reach the sky, not to mention Li Tingzhi, who has a good relationship with him in the army, also chose to remain silent this time, obviously protesting silently to Jia Xiangdao.

Just when Weng Yinglong walked out of the lobby with one foot, he heard Jia Yidao behind him laugh and say: "Xiangyang, Fancheng, anyway, in whose hands, the old man can't control it anymore, if you want to take it, take it away." As for the brothers of the Lu family, after all, they are loyal to the old man, and if they can protect it, they will protect it, and if they can't protect it, let them go. ”

In the laughter, there is endless desolation.

Weng Yinglong subconsciously looked back, Jia Rudao had already walked behind the screen with his concubine in his arms, and his laughter was still echoing in the lobby.

Jia Xianggong finally had to bow his head to Ye Yingwu.

Weng Yinglong subconsciously opened the manuscript he had written before, looked at the lines of text on it, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Lin'an, I don't know if you are really welcome, Ye Yingwu. (To be continued.) )
