The power of catapults is enormous.

A catapult can throw dozens of pounds of stones onto the city wall and smash them angrily.

Many of the forbidden soldiers were also injured as a result.

Even the walls of the city were blown down in a short section.

It's much harder to protect.

Lin Yuan immediately sent reinforcements from the Shence Army and the Tianwu Army.

Use the artillery and rockets of the Shence Army to suppress the enemy's siege momentum.

The bloody battle between the two sides was brought to an equal level.

However, if the catapult on the opposite side is not solved, it will always be a big disaster.

Therefore, Lin Yuan decided to make a surprise attack and defeat Yan Zongbi's catapult first.

This time, he was going to use one of the great killing weapons of the Great Song Dynasty - the three-bow bed crossbow.

The three-bow bed crossbow, also known as the eight-cow crossbow.

As the name suggests, even eight cows can't pull back the arrows that are shot.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration.

However, in history, the three-bow bed crossbow is indeed the longest-range and most powerful weapon.

According to the Northern Song Dynasty's "Wujing General Essentials", the maximum range of the three-bow bed crossbow can reach 1,000 steps.

One step in the Northern Song Dynasty was equal to 1.5 meters.

In other words, the range of a three-bow bed crossbow can reach a maximum of 1500 meters, which is farther than many *** in later generations.

In the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, the use of the three-bow bed crossbow was recorded.

In the battle between Song and Liao, the Song army installed bed crossbows at the head of the city.

The Liao army attacked the city, the crossbow soldiers were frightened, and the crossbows were hit in a hurry, and the arrows thundered out, and the main general Xiao Tart Rin in the Liao army was not expected, and he was killed on the spot, and the Liao people died because of the death of the main general, and they had no intention of fighting, so they negotiated peace with the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even in the later Mongolian expedition to the west, Hülegü carried a three-bow bed crossbow and made a peerless contribution in the process of attacking the western ***.

In short, the three-bow bed crossbow is real.

Now, in the arsenal of Lin'an City, there are five such big killing weapons in reserve, which are the bottom treasure of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Lin Yuan sent someone to take out the three-bow bed crossbow and erect it on the head of the city.

The three-bow bed crossbow has seven arrows and can fire different arrows.

There is a gun, three swords and arrows, and there are treadmill arrows.

However, what Lin Yuan fired this time was a musket and arrow.

This kind of arrow, shaped like a javelin, has a ** tied to the head of the spear, and it will explode if touched.

All it takes is an arrow to start a fire.

After Li Gang took over the three-bow bed crossbow, he immediately arranged for skilled soldiers to operate it, began to fill musket arrows, and aimed at catapults 2 miles away.

Originally, he wanted to shoot Yan Zongbi, but unfortunately, Yan Zongbi was extremely cunning and hid four or five miles away from the team.

"Put!"

With Li Gang's order, five three-bow bed crossbows pulled the mechanism at the same time, and the muskets fired in unison.

The scene is like a thunderbolt in the sky, thundering in the sky!

Everyone was shocked.

I saw dozens of muskets, like fire dragons, slashing through the air and shooting towards the catapult thousands of kilometers away.

The musket hit the catapult with precision, causing a large explosion.

Boom Boom!

Wanyan Zongbi's catapult was blown to pieces on the spot, igniting a raging fire.

This kind of power directly and completely frightened the golden soldiers outside the city.

For a time, the morale of the Jin soldiers dropped wildly.

"Is that what it is...... Three-bow bed crossbow! ”

Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiyin, hiding at the back of the team, felt the power of the three-bow bed crossbow, and were also shocked.

"The skilled craftsmen of the Song people can actually make such a powerful weapon!"

"During the Battle of Bianjing, I was shocked by the iron artillery and thunderbolts of the Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect them to have stronger weapons!"

"No wonder our shaman issued a warning, if the Song people are not eradicated as soon as possible, my Jurchen will be exterminated!"

"The catapult was destroyed, and the power of the three-bow bed crossbow made the morale of my army plummet, and it was no longer suitable for attacking the city."

"Then arrange for the soldiers to withdraw and rest for two days!"

……

After Yan Zongbi's withdrawal order, it was quickly issued to all battalions.

The besieging servant army and the golden soldiers retreated in order.

Lin Yuan didn't dwell too much, he was fighting like this, and he suddenly felt that his morale had dropped and he didn't fight, which was normal.

So, he also arranged for the forbidden army to rest.

The two sides briefly fell into a truce.

Lin Yuan's truce, it's not that he doesn't do anything.

On the one hand, he actively prepared all kinds of military supplies.

Li Shen is very powerful, and he really lives up to expectations, and the output of the military weapons supervisor has increased to 200,000 arrows a day.

It was even higher than Lin Yuan's expectations.

This made Lin Yuan very happy, and rewarded him in the middle.

In addition to preparing military supplies, Lin Yuan also began to actively contact peripheral forces to plan reinforcements.

Lin'an City was besieged and plunged into a state of war, and the teleportation array was directly paralyzed.

If you want to get in touch with the outside world, you can only rely on traditional horsepower.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan has a pet golden eagle.

The golden eagle can fly thousands of miles in a day, which is five times more than the eagle.

Lin Yuan wrote a letter, contacting Han Shizhong, the envoy of Jiankang Prefecture, who was closest to Lin'an City, and Yang Qi, the pacification envoy of Huzhou, asking them to raise troops to attack the rear of Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiyin.

Creates a flanking momentum.

After doing this, Lin Yuan began to wait, and waited until the afternoon of the next day for the golden eagle to return.

Han Shizhong and the army, together with Liang Hongyu, personally led 200,000 Jiankang garrisons, marched by land and water, copied Pingjiang and Liuzhou, and cut off the back road of Yan Zongbi and the two.

Huzhou is located in the northwest corner of Lin'an.

Yang Qi raised all the soldiers and horses in Huzhou, totaling 80,000, and came to Lin'an City to support.

It is expected that he will arrive in another seven days.

Lin Yuan still had to stick to Lin'an City for seven days.

And this time, not only the NPC generals moved, but even the lords of Lin'an Mansion also joined the crusade.

For example, the largest lord of Lin'an Mansion, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties belonged to the Five-Star Alliance, and this alliance has always been a little difficult to deal with Lin Yuan.

He sent troops this time, not for Lin Yuan, but for himself.

He noticed the rise of Han Shizhong and Yang Qi, and seemed to see the hope of victory, so he came to get a piece of the pie.

With the same mentality as him, there are several other lords.

Lin Yuan didn't bother to care about these people, but he didn't allow them to enter Lin'an City.

Now that Lin'an City is in a special period, letting these wolf ambitions into the city will definitely cause trouble.

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and others also had no desire to attack.

Also aware of the movement of troops on all sides are Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiyin.

The two began to negotiate secretly in the golden tent.

"What to do? The back road was cut off by Han Shizhong of Jiankang Mansion, and Yang Qi's army was approaching in the west, we are annoyed! ”

Rao is Wanyan Xiyin is arrogant, and now he doesn't dare to boast about Haikou anymore.

At this time, all the Jin generals looked at Wanyan Zongbi.

Wanyan Zongbi was silent and began to pace, thinking in his heart.

After a long time, he said, "There are only two roads in front of us now!" The first is to do our best to lay down Lin'an City in one go. ”

"The second plan is to take the treasure we looted and kill it before the Song army surrounds it."
