Chapter 239: Secret Weapon
In fact, it is not a good thing for Song Yunwen to rush into battle now, after a night of tossing, even if he is as strong as the Song family's army, he will inevitably be a little tired, and this night is not a big victory, but he was whipped back with a blue nose and swollen face, which affects morale even more.
But there is no way, Song Yunwen must go to war, the war urging documents in the rear have been sent like snowflakes, and now the Southwest Coalition Army has reached the hundredth level, although it sounds very far away, but combined with their almost crazy speed of attacking the city, such a distance is actually not safe, at least in the eyes of those politicians who do not have any military standards, such a distance is already unsafe.
Of course, those politicians will never know how much trouble they will bring to Song Yunwen and other front-line soldiers when they touch their lips. Of course, even if they knew, I am afraid that they would not be restrained. In their world, they are the pillars of the country, and what does it matter to them whether they live or die?
And another point is that the Song family army really needs a victory to inspire these warriors now, in the face of these hillbilly-like ragtag army, one or two defeats will make these proud soldiers shameful and courageous, but the successive defeats can't be said, such a thing will bring a devastating blow to morale, and even in the future, when they face that person again, they will subconsciously question themselves, and then the army's heart will be shaken, and chaos without a fight.
Song Yunwen naturally won't let this kind of thing happen to him, maybe they won't be able to take down this city today, but at least they have to show their own momentum, instead of causing morale to plummet and the morale of the army to shake like Xu Shiming's traitor.
Thinking of this, Song Yunwen rode out, all the sergeants divided to both sides, and Song Yunwen, who was covered in plain armor, appeared at the front of the whole team, his appearance was like a stimulant injection for the Song family, and the originally lifeless team was suddenly full of people, among the grassroots soldiers of the Song family's army, Song Yunwen had an almost blind worship. Looking at these passionate soldiers, he couldn't help but feel a burst of confidence, in front of such a powerful army, who could stop them?
Song Yunwen slowly pulled out the whisper he was wearing under his ribs, and then swung forward sharply, and a low dragon chant echoed across the battlefield. At this time, the boiling Song family army was quiet for a moment, and the battlefield was quiet. Song Yunwen turned around and yelled at the soldiers behind him: "What the sword is pointing at, invincible, Song Jiajun, rush!"
"Whatever the sword points at, it is invincible!" the first group of soldiers in front of the formation slammed the tower shield in front of them, and then split to both sides, flowing out rows of two-person wide corridors. At this time, a group of wrestlers without armor carried simple ladders and sprinted towards the city wall at a speed of 100 meters, and at the same time, the trebuchets in the distance began to roar.
However, to deal with these large counterweight trebuchets, Mei Youren has already found a solution. He found countless heavy hemp ropes overnight, and made a huge net at the head of the city, and then poured mud on the hemp ropes, so that even if the other party used fire, he could do nothing to them. Although this is the old wisdom of the predecessors, the Southern Song Dynasty defenders in ancient China used to deal with the return artillery of those Mongol soldiers, but it is also very useful here. It's just that this also restricts the play of projectile weapons in the city, but Mei Youren's side doesn't take advantage of this thing early, so there is no big drawback, just occasionally when throwing things outside the city, remember not to throw them high, just hit the defense net above.
The first wave of the Song army's stone bomb offensive did not work, but this did not affect the high morale of the Song army. Song Yunwen's appearance did give these soldiers a dose of stimulant, and even the shadow of the failure of the past few days was forgotten for a while, but the good times did not last long, and when these soldiers were suppressed by bows and arrows and carried high ladders to the vicinity of the city, their nightmare had just begun.
Song Yunwen, who was supervising the battle in the rear, squinted his eyes, only to see that the defenders at the head of the city were throwing something that looked like a jar indiscriminately downwards at this time, Song Yunwen didn't know what this thing was, but his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and an extremely bad premonition appeared in his heart. At this time, the first falling "jar" exploded at a height of almost one person, and the red light of the fire startled Song Yunwen, who was engrossed, for a moment, but the power was really a little ...... Just with the firelight, there was a large white cloud of smoke, just looking at it, Song Yunwen frowned.
At this time, it was Mei Youren, Zhao Bin and Jin Cancan who jointly transformed the charged version of the gunpowder canister. In fact, the power of black powder is indeed very sad, but the things that come with it are really terrible. A group of bewildered soldiers were in a state of confusion when they felt a crackling debris smash across their heads. And with that came the deadly smoke and dust. Unfortunately, this first gunpowder bullet was the "drug-type" gunpowder bullet that Jin Cancan "independently developed", and at the moment when the smoke hit, these poor soldiers did not have time to hold their breath, and immediately inhaled a full dose of the drug, and then they felt that the world was spinning, and as soon as their legs were weak, they collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
However, compared with the expensive cost of Jin Cancan's "drug-type", although the effect of those ordinary "lime versions" is a little worse, they are better because of their low cost and large number. It was not a funny thing to be drilled into the eyes by lime, and for a while, even if they had broken their hands and feet, the soldiers who had never shed tears cried one by one like children in confinement - no way, no one could restrain the physiological reaction.
And taking advantage of this chaos, Mei Youren's bad boys who had learned badly from their master immediately found an opportunity to beat the water dogs, so they naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, and a few guys with good archery skills even compared, I have to say that the victory has brought them great self-confidence, so even if they meet God's king card, they have not shown their timidity.
They were happy here, but Song Yunwen, who was in his own army, almost crooked his nose. Ah, those guys in the city are so shameless! It's not enough to be a shrunken turtle in the city, but they still use such obscene moves, it's really ......
Although it is very clear that it is normal for the two armies to face each other and do everything, Song Yunwen still couldn't help but scold, and then ordered: "Mingjin, the first team retreats, the second team attacks, and increases the amount of sword and shield soldiers!"
The herald took the order and left, looking at the city pass in the distance, Song Yunwen narrowed his eyes, this kind of technique will not be something that the black gauze guy can do, although he is a ruthless person, but he is not good at this kind of stealing chickens and dogs, could it be that Mei Youren's handiwork?
Song Yunwen didn't know at this time that in his eyes, the genius-like young man was looking at the battle situation under the city with an obscene face at this time, and his smile was extremely sinister. And beside him, it seems that in order to confirm the sentence of gathering objects by analogy, Zhao Bin is laughing at the same obscene.
"Can you two guys be a little more restrained, in front of the two armies, there is still no one in the right way?" Jin Cancan looked at these two guys with a headache, covered his forehead and said bitterly: "You guys are lying on the city wall like this, and you are not afraid of being shot to death by the sniper on the opposite side!"
"I'm really not afraid of this. Mei Youren said with a smile: "Playing sniper life and death with two archers, he is really dead." As he spoke, as if to confirm his words, Mei Youren lifted the bow and arrow on the city wall on the side, bent the bow and arrows, and put a guy who looked like a school captain to the ground with one arrow.
"Okay, okay, you're good. Jin Cancan said helplessly, she remembered that her sister said that this guy is a very stable person, why can't he see the slightest stability in him now, but feels that this guy is going back more and more?
"Hey, what are you looking for the two of us, don't tell me you just want to teach us two a lesson. Mei Youren said: "It's wartime, and any kind of waste of time is not allowed!"
"You also know that it's wartime!" Jin Cancan glanced at Mei Youren coquettishly, and then said: "Hey, the first wave of the enemy's offensive has retreated, but I estimate that they will soon be able to find a way to deal with gunpowder shells, what are you going to do?"
"What else, the soldiers will come to stop it. Mei Youren shrugged: "Don't worry, as the commander of the First Army, I will never be able to count these things." It's just that you must not look at this thing that you will use for a while, and you must not ask. Trust me, I'm good for you. ”
Mei Youren patted Jin Cancan's shoulder, then left the city wall, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we have repelled the first wave of the enemy's attack, in front of our secret weapon, the elite or something is bullshit!
"Long live General Mei!" there was a frolicking sound from the city, and Jin Cancan was the focus of their ridicule. Of course, generally daring to tease this female tyrannosaurus will not end very well. But these ruffians are happy to do it. Mei Youren looked at these guys who didn't have a proper line with satisfaction and was secretly happy in his heart, so that he had the appearance of a fucking army, and the army asked if he had a fart, how could he look like a wolf and a tiger now?
Listening to the noise in the city, the black yarn that had turned into a handsome boy couldn't help but get out of the camp, he smiled and shook his head, it seems that Mei Youren is indeed a natural general, maybe his role can really gradually retreat, after all, an army only needs to have one voice.
At this time, the second round of the offensive has begun, as always, it is still throwing stones to open the way, but this time, among those Protoss armies who have long memories, the number of shields has obviously increased a lot, whether it is a large tower shield or a half-body small round shield, at least it can ensure that at the moment of the explosion, they can resist all kinds of condiments that make people itch their teeth. It can be seen from the soldiers who rescued that the one that appeared at the same time as the explosion was generally quicklime, although this thing was domineering, but as long as it didn't get on the eyes, there was no problem, at most the skin was a little uncomfortable, and it would not affect the combat effectiveness.
But Song Yunwen obviously underestimated the imagination and obscenity of Mei Youren, when the second wave of enemy troops attacked, the powder jar that had just been tried and tested did not explode again, and the silence on the entire battlefield was terrible, but it was this silence that made people feel even more depressing.
The Song army was like a group of slow-moving turtles, and the tower shields in the front row and a large number of shields wrapped the entire army into a moving steel barrier. Due to the fact that in the attack the day before, the consumption of large-scale siege equipment was somewhat serious, so today's appearance is the portable ladder, although the effect is a little poor, but in the protection of this turtle formation, it is safer than large-scale equipment, which makes Song Yunwen a little unexpected.
Looking at the slowly moving military array under the city, Jin Cancan couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but seeing Mei Youren's face with a little pride in her confidence, she didn't want to ask him, so she had to hold the city wall with both hands and stare at the military array below, as if she wanted to pierce the hard armor of those people with her eyes.
And when they were approaching the city, the army was scattered in all directions, and the archers hidden in the formation began to think about suppressive fire from the city, but more often they quickly ran to the dead corners that the bows and arrows could not take care of, and held their shields on their heads to avoid the strange weapons that might come.
"Hmph, do you think you can hide like this?" Looking at the soldiers under the city, Mei Youren suddenly smiled disdainfully, and flew a few feather arrows with his hand, he returned to the city wall, waved his hand to the adjutant beside him, and said, "It's time for our secret weapon to appear!"
The adjutant nodded solemnly, and the small flag in his hand shook, only to see that on the edge of the city wall, the mysterious veil was removed from the black cloth, and I saw that it was a large cauldron, and the golden turbid liquid was churning inside. It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion or whatever, the moment this thing appeared, Jin Cancan felt a pungent ...... Stink!
"What is this?" In the end, Jin Cancan couldn't help but pull Mame Youren's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"Well, I'd advise you, you'd better ...... this thing Don't ask, you just need to know that this thing is a weapon for defending the city. After saying that, he didn't wait for Jin Cancan to agree or not, and ran to the other side.
"Brothers, it's time for these elites to feel our enthusiasm!"
