Chapter 1071: Various Means (4)

Jia Meng closed the shut, and saw that the enemy army suddenly changed his moves, and the soldiers who were cheering were also silent.

Especially when they saw the firewood and grass dumplings that they put in their net pockets, as well as the prepared fire, everyone's expressions changed again.

It is clear what the other side will do next, once the fireball hits and burns the layers of cow and sheep leather that stands in front of the wall, the gate will once again be completely exposed to the bombardment of the enemy stone thrower.

As the saying goes, one thing descends to one thing, and the defense line created by one's own makeshift is not omnipotent after all.

"What should I do?"

Many people asked about the anxiety in their hearts, and then everyone unconsciously turned their eyes to Sun Ning.

Because of his previous dedication, he had a considerable position in the hearts of the generals in Guanzhong, and after the problem, he first thought of asking him for help.

Even Gao Jinxian, as well as the two deputy generals Lu Yun and Zhou Zhen beside him, all looked over and opened their mouths as if they wanted to ask something.

And Sun Ning really didn't disappoint them, at this time he still looked like he was in his chest, and even had a faint smile on his face, his eyes fell to the back of everyone, and said, "General Gao, why did you forget that we closed our own defense methods?" Can we only be beaten passively? ”

"Huh?" Gao Jinxian was stunned for a moment, but then quickly understood, and shouted excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes!" Come on, move the bed crossbow to me! ”

The others only came to their senses at this time, and many generals and leading officers were even more red, they had forgotten such a simple thing, and they actually had to be reminded by an outsider who came to help in the war.

Jiameng Pass can become the throat of the east of Sichuan and Shu, and it will not be broken by foreign enemies for a hundred years, relying not only on the terrain, but also on a variety of accumulated weapons to defend and counterattack.

Among them, there are more than a dozen bed crossbows, which are quite lethal and have a range of 300 paces away.

Previously, because the enemy was wary and feared that they would not be able to successfully hit the target and would be destroyed by their stone bullets, the defenders did not use this weapon to defend the city.

But now there is no such concern, because Guan Longjun's stone throwers have moved forward again, and they are all within the range of the bed crossbow that can strike accurately. Moreover, the target of the opponent's bombardment this time was more on the cow and sheep skin in front of it, which gave the soldiers more time to adjust the angle and direction.

At that moment, the soldiers quickly moved their bed crossbows, and they were busy again, aiming at the stone throwing machine a hundred and ten paces away.

At this moment, both the offensive and defensive sides are constantly busy, preparing for the next attack. Although there were no shocking killings and casualties in the previous days, the race against time was still enough to shock many people.

In the end, it was easier to close the angle of the more than a dozen bed crossbows, and it was easier to launch than a stone thrower that needed to be dropped by manpower.

So, with a few orders, after the hammer fell and the wrench was hit, the crossbow string on the bed crossbow, which was the thickness of a thumb and had been taut, quickly rebounded, and the four arrows that were fastened on the top of the gun flew out at the same time, and in the blink of an eye it had crossed the wall and headed straight for the enemy stone throwing array in front.

The bed crossbow has become a big killer weapon for the defenders of the city since the Song Dynasty, because of its long range, the lethal and destructive power is even more amazing, especially against the enemy's siege equipment, as well as some of the most eye-catching banner generals, can play a role in turning the tide with one blow.

It is reported that during the time of Zhao and Song Zhenzong, the Liao State invaded and besieged Shanzhou, and almost beat Song Zhenzong, who was personally conquered by the emperor, to the same as his father.

However, it was because of the sudden achievement of the bed crossbow and the killing of Xiao Darin, the general of the Liao army, with an arrow, that the tide of the battle suddenly turned around, and there were later peace talks between the two sides......

Since then, after the war, the Song people have invested more in the bed crossbow, and constantly upgraded and iterated on it, and now the power of the bed crossbow is better than the original in the Dayue court.

At this time, a gun and four arrows, said to be a gun and arrow, in fact, the gun shaft is a foot thick, and the arrow shaft is also the thickness of an arm......

In the blink of an eye, more than ten shots, dozens of arrows have fallen into the enemy formation, three of which have been hit the front of the stone thrower, the seemingly sturdy stone thrower instantly penetrated, its strength is so great that it caused the wooden structure of the body to creak for a while, and after a while, it has been shattered and collapsed.

That's not all, the soldiers who were busy around the stone throwing machine were even more wiped out.

Those arrows as thick as an arm flew in, and under the tremendous force, as long as the person who was shot, the upper half of the entire body was cracked in response, and the arrows did not stop, and once again disappeared into the crowd behind.

For a while, flesh and blood flew sideways, screaming continuously, and the hundred and ten people gathered around a stone throwing machine, more than ten or twenty people became minced meat at once.

Many of the rest were also covered in flesh and blood, and the whole person was completely stunned with fright.

After a while, I don't know which one reacted first, and after an exclamation, he turned his head and ran straight back, and then led all the others to flee straight back like a ghost, and no longer cared about any stone thrower, what live burning was blocked before the pass.

Although this round of accumulation and shooting also destroyed the three stone throwers, it has already severely damaged the morale of the enemy army in one fell swoop, and the remaining people under the stone throwing machines have also run clean, and these siege weapons are naturally no longer useful and threatening.

Seeing this, Li Wannian, who was behind Guan Longjun, was so angry that his face turned red and white, and the blood in his chest was surging, and he was almost about to vomit blood.

He really didn't expect that this time's trick would be like this, and he would lose too much.

Just when he was furious, and the generals below also decisively ordered to directly execute these soldiers who escaped from the battle on the spot, in order to set an example, and planned to send people up again to come again, there were already guns and arrows shooting down on the wall.

The Vietnamese army would not get carried away with a small victory and turn a blind eye to the immediate threat. Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was deserted and fled, and the catapult was left there, Gao Jinxian immediately ordered to seize the opportunity to continuously release arrows to destroy them.

As a result, after only two or three bed crossbows were fired, the twenty or so stone throwers were all reduced to fragments and could no longer be used.

At this time, Li Wannian's vain attempt to completely capture Jiameng Pass today was completely bankrupt, but he also lost hundreds of visible lives, as well as the invisible, what was already the little morale left in the army.

This time, he was completely silent, looking at Jia Mengguan, who was still standing there, Li Wannian really didn't know what to do next. Can we only hope that Jiang Chong and them can sneak attack?
