In front of Shouzhou City, heavy rain is like a note.

Rain of arrows!

Shouzhou, which is surrounded by golden soldiers, is like an isolated island above the ocean, bearing the baptism of arrow rain that covers the sky and the sun.

Even though the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty had the most exquisite armor and body protection, this round of arrows rained down, which also caused a lot of casualties, and the corpses of Erlang were everywhere on the city wall.

However, to the surprise of the Jin people, under the suppression of the rain of arrows, their own soldiers had come to the city wall, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were still huddled behind the arrow stacks of the city wall, and they had no intention of shooting arrows to fight back?

What's going on?

Don't they know that once the city gate is broken, once the city wall is attacked, Shouzhou will not be able to defend it?

Jiagu Qingchen, who was on the battle line, rode a horse, held a war knife, and stared at the city wall of the north gate of Shouzhou, a little unclear.

Shouzhou City didn't even put up a strong resistance, and only fired two rounds of crossbow arrows and fired back.

Could it be that Shouzhou is defenseless?

Or is there no soldiers in Shouzhou City?

But this is almost impossible, from my Xiongshi to Sizhou, it has been a long time, the Great Song scouts must have found out the situation, Shouzhou, which is guarding the throat of Huainan West Road, can not be defended?

So what does the Song people mean by this?

Jiagu Qingchen was a little shocked, could there be any conspiracy that could not be achieved.

However, he immediately put his mind at ease, and in the face of absolute force suppression, no matter how good the conspiracy and trickery were, it could only be in vain.

Shouzhou only has 8,000 soldiers, but he has 20,000 elites.

Moreover, the Great Song army was weak, and it was only a matter of time before Shouzhou was captured.

Dozens of meters below the city, the stone throwing cart was thrown wildly, and countless boulders were like hail in the rain with arrows, or smashed heavily on the city wall, or fell on the racetrack at the head of the city.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

From time to time, there was a wail after being hit by an arrow, or before he could make a sound, he was smashed into a pulp by a boulder.

Several siege vehicles, not only covered with cowhides, but also inlaid with iron plates, rushed towards the city gate under the arch guard of a group of crossbowmen.

The huge hammerwood marched straight towards the city gate.

Dozens of wells moved slowly, and the crossbowmen on the wells frequently fired their bows, suppressing the defenders on the city walls.

Under the cover of the shield armor soldiers, countless foot soldiers carried the ladder, rushed to the city head without fear of death, crossed the moat, and wanted to set up the ladder and rush to the city tower, as if the good heads of the Great Song soldiers were beckoning to them.

Once you stand on the wall and survive, you can be promoted to the third rank after the city is broken.

Jiagu Qingchen looked at all this calmly, if nothing else, it would only take an hour or two to capture Shouzhou.

It's just that I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.

The behavior of the Great Song defenders was so strange that until now, they have not fired a single round of crossbow arrows to return fire.

Countless ladders were set up at the head of the city, and countless brave and fearless soldiers began to climb, until now the Song soldiers have not fought back decently, and some veterans still think that it is the same as the previous battle.

The Song people had long since fled.

Screaming, waving his sword, wanting to make a name for himself in a battle.

Under the battlements of the city wall, a well-armored general stared at the situation outside the city, and only after the golden soldiers had begun to climb the ladder did he shout to the herald, "Return fire!" ”

The herald immediately stood up and waved the red and green flags in his hands.

But unexpectedly, a crossbow arrow came and pierced his throat, and the herald opened his eyes in anger and fear, and fell silently.

Another herald stood up with lightning speed, waving his twin flags.

Fight back!

The Great Song Dynasty guards, who saw robes and corpses everywhere on the city wall, had long been suppressed and boiled with anger, and when they saw the military order, they broke out instantly, and the fierce soldiers holding the shield armor immediately dodged again, and the soldiers in charge of the bed crossbow quickly operated, and the crossbow arrows full of anger and hatred poured out.

A rain of arrows fell from the head of Shouzhou City.

Blood flowers were suddenly seen on the earth, and they were in full bloom.

The huge catapult threw the boulders that had been carried up to the city very early, and roared down into the dense array of golden soldiers on the flat ground outside the city...... In the smoke and dust, there was more meat puree.

On top of the city wall, more than a dozen soldiers carried huge oil canisters and poured down.

Several rockets followed.

With a pop, the fire instantly wrapped the siege vehicle.

In the blazing flames, dozens of golden soldiers became burning men, screaming miserably and threw themselves into the moat, and some people were defeated in a panic and were immediately shot by their own soldiers.

At the same time, countless soldiers stood up from behind the arrow stacks, crossbowmen shot arrows to suppress the wells, foot soldiers carried boulders, or dumped fuel, and the ladder suddenly howled miserably......

Such a situation was staged at the same time on the four walls of Shouzhou.

There is no hell on earth than this.

Seeing this, Jiagu Qingchen frowned, but he was indifferent, how can the siege of the city not be dead, as long as my good son Lang stands on the city wall, Shouzhou will be in the bag.

It's just that the only thing I'm a little worried about is that ten miles south of Shouzhou City, there seems to be a Great Song army.

Otherwise, how could none of the scouts sent to that side come back?

It is necessary to take Shouzhou before that army comes to reinforce it, otherwise it will be difficult to attack Shouzhou as soon as the Great Song reinforcements arrive.

Glancing back, the three thousand cavalry and two thousand foot soldiers behind him who were ready to go snorted coldly.

It has long been guarded against the hands of the Song people, and only 5,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers have not been put into the siege.

One is that the cavalry is not good at attacking cities.

One is to prevent the Song reinforcements from attacking and killing, there are 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers, which is enough to cope with all changes, unless the Great Song reinforcements have tens of thousands of people.

But that's okay.

You can give up the siege and let the soldiers withdraw and regroup.

Jiagu Qingchen even vaguely hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would be like this.

Rather than attacking the city, he is more willing to fight head-on with the Great Song Dynasty, which can greatly reduce the battle damage.

Ten miles south of Shouzhou City, the flag covers the sky and the sun.

Thousands of troops were in a neat formation, and from time to time scouts could be seen rushing back from the front, bringing instant battlefield news.

By the way, he also brought back the heads of many Jin Kingdom scouts.

Zhao Kai, who had just arrived, let the scouts who had just reported the situation go down, and looked sideways at Xin Qiji and Shouchun Guards, and Zheng Zhi, the commander of the Jiangnan battalion, "If the scout's news is correct, Jiagu Qingchen only used 15,000 troops to attack the city. ”

Xin Qiji frowned, "There are still five thousand left, and there should be cavalry among them, which is estimated to be in preparation for the attack of reinforcements." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded, "With the courage of the Jin people, 15,000 to attack 8,000 has a great chance of success." ”

Zhao Kai was silent for a while, as if he was asking Zheng Zhi and Xin Qiji, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "Although Jiagu Qingchen is a veteran soldier, and Zhu Zhenfu, the commander of Shouzhou, is also a veteran, he should be able to hold it for a day or two?" ”

Xin Qiji suddenly said something inexplicable: "A general is a general after all, a soldier is a soldier after all, there is a way to be a drum, and then it declines, and it is exhausted, and it is taboo." ”

Zheng Zhi opened his eyes suddenly, "What does Vice Commander Xin mean?" ”

Zhao Kai laughed, "Spread the scout, after the second wave of the Jin people attacked the city, they will return quickly!" ”

No matter how Jiagu Qingchen used his troops like a god, there was a problem that he couldn't solve -- low morale.

Although he can boost his morale with fame and fortune, the situation on the battlefield changes in an instant, if he is killed one after another, the Jin soldiers will inevitably be greatly affected, and if he commands his troops at this critical point.

Then the siege soldiers are not to be afraid, and what needs to be careful is the 5,000 gold soldiers who have not been put into the siege.

Xin Qiji tightened the spear in his hand.

Zheng straightened his armor.

Half an hour later, several horsemen rushed back at a gallop, and before they could get close, they shouted: "The second siege of the Jin people failed!" ”

Zhao Kai smiled.

Zheng Zhi immediately waved his hand to give the order.

The 3,000 cavalry army was the first to rush out, followed by the infantry advancing at full speed, and would assemble in the south of Shouzhou City, and then bypass Shouzhou City and take the rear of the Jin army.

The sound of hooves was like thunder.

The horses neighed.

Thousands of horses roll up to the flat post, and the flag dances in the sky.

On the ground, a huge black feather arrow rushed towards Shouzhou. (To be continued.) )
