Under the city of Pingxia, hundreds of thousands of Western Xia troops surrounded the city of Pingxia, and the military flags stood in a forest, and they were slaughtered.

"This is Pingxia City?"

When Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, supported by the generals of Western Xia, looked around Pingxia City, she couldn't help frowning.

Without him, just because Pingxia City is too strange, it is like a star, protruding sharp corners on the city wall, which is very different from all the Great Song fortresses I have seen before.

"The Empress Dowager Qiqi is the Pingxia City that the Great Song Dynasty painstakingly built." Wei Ming Ah Wu bowed and said.

"Who's the guard?" Minister of State Liang Yikui frowned.

"Qi Yu State Minister, according to the detailed report, there is a kind of Pu in Pingxia City who leads the garrison of 20,000, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng of the Great Song Dynasty is the supervising army!" Wei Ming Ah Wu will give out the information one by one.

"Twenty thousand defenders! Evil doctor Fan Zheng is the prison army? Empress Dowager Xiaoliang frowned, although she was the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia, she was a pure Han and proficient in Confucianism, and Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao's classic poems naturally reached her ears.

However, although she admired Fan Zheng's medical skills and literary talents, she sneered at the evil doctor Fan Zheng as a prisoner.

"Pingxia City does not have the natural dangers of Yongle City, and the bells and whistles of building the city wall are simply self-defeating." Liang Yiqi, the minister of Western Xia, sneered.

"Wechen asked to be the striker and pacify the city in one battle."

The generals of the Western Xia looked at the strangely shaped Pingxia City, and they were greatly despised in their hearts, and they immediately asked for their lives.

"Queen Mother, don't be careless! The Song people spent so much energy to build Pingxia City, it would definitely not be so simple! Ah Wu proposed.

"Two waste! If the two of them are incompetent, why let the Song people succeed in building the city. Liang Yiqi mercilessly rebuked the two of them.

The two of them immediately looked embarrassed.

"The strength of the Jingsai Military Division is empty, and the Song people actually carry quite a lot of divine arm crossbows, so if we don't check for a while, we will suffer heavy losses." Rindobao is faithful and has lingering palpitations.

The Song people's divine arm crossbows are too much, they just took a look, the Western Xia army suffered heavy losses, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, I am afraid that the Jingsai military division would have been wiped out a long time ago, and it would not be able to support the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang to return to the army.

"Divine Arm Crossbow?" Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's face changed.

Once the divine arm crossbow was an artifact of the Western Xia, and its production was extremely difficult, but it was dedicated to the Song Dynasty by the traitor Li Hongjin, and the large-scale manufacturing with the strength of the Song Dynasty has now become a nightmare for the Western Xia people.

The appearance of large-scale divine arm crossbows in Pingxia City proved that their previous information was correct, and the Great Song Dynasty did attach great importance to Pingxia City.

Liang Yikui said proudly: "The Empress Dowager doesn't need to worry, there are also many divine arms and crossbows in my Western Xia army, and the little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is arrogant, and he even sent his favorite minister and evil doctor Fan Zheng to supervise the army in Pingxia City. ”

Listening to Liang Yikui's ulterior motives, Empress Dowager Xiao Liang nodded slightly, it was the young emperor that she took on the great responsibility to protect the Western Xia Guozuo, if she led the army to destroy Pingxia City in a battle this time, and captured Fan Zheng, a favorite minister of the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it prove that it was a mistake for the Great Song Dynasty officials to return to power, and it would definitely make the Western Xia government and the opposition no longer criticize her to listen to the government.

Empress Dowager Xiao Liang looked at her brother and the party generals, looked at Pingxia City in front of her and said coldly: "No matter what conspiracy the Song people have, Pingxia City must not stay, come and attack immediately, I want to make Pingxia City the second Yongle City." ”

"Yes!"

The main generals of Western Xia responded one after another, and they were all gearing up.

Although there were many contradictions between the Later Party and the Western Xia aristocracy, they were surprisingly consistent in their stance on the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, they have been fighting with the Great Song Dynasty all the year round, and they have long despised the cowardly Song army, and naturally they don't care about the small Pingxia City in front of them.

"Knock knock!"

Under the city of Pingxia! The drums of war are thundering! The Western Xia army slowly forced the ** Xia City, and there was a momentum of black clouds crushing the city to destroy it.

"Shhh

Looking at the dense Western Xia army, Yang Weizhong couldn't help but gasp, although he had been prepared, seeing hundreds of thousands of Western Xia soldiers approaching the city, his scalp was still numb.

Moreover, the fortress structure of Pingxia City appeared for the first time, and they were also unsure about whether they could hold it.

Chong Pu saw Fan Zheng on the side, but his face did not change, and he couldn't help but praise: "The first time the prison army came to the battlefield in person, he had such courage, I really admire it." ”

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "The Western Xia army is approaching the city, who can be indifferent, but Fan is more confident in personally designing Pingxia City, and the Great Song Dynasty should be glad that science and technology are in the hands of civilization." ”

Fan Zheng stepped on the Pingxia City with a fortress structure, stroked the Divine Arm Crossbow with his left hand, and held a heaven-shattering thunder with his right hand.

He believed that after this battle, Pingxia City would definitely become famous in a battle, and the fortress would be popular in the Great Song Dynasty, completely changing the situation of the Great Song Dynasty being passively beaten.

The two of them remembered the power of the Divine Arm Crossbow and the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, and the fear in their hearts disappeared.

"Knock knock!"

In the Western Xia army, the war drums are beating!

"The siege begins!" Fan Zheng's heart moved.

I saw that a large number of soldiers poured out of the Western Xia army, under the cover of shields and high carts, pushing the ladder and rushing up, and there was a great battle to settle the posture of Pingxia City.

"Divine Arm Crossbow! First quarter! ”

Seeing this, Chong Pu immediately ordered.

When the Western Xia soldiers stepped into the range of the four hundred steps of the Divine Arm Crossbow, Chong Pu did not immediately order to shoot, although the Divine Arm Crossbow was powerful, but the strength of the four hundred steps had been greatly reduced, and the Western Xia soldiers had shields to resist, and there was not much lethality.

"Three hundred steps!"

"Two hundred and fifty steps!"

The cultivation is still as stable as Mount Tai.

When the Western Xia army reached two hundred steps, Chongpu Lingqi waved and shouted coldly: "Divine arm crossbow!" Shoot! ”

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the sound of the Divine Arm Crossbow Machine sounded, and a black cloud flew towards the Western Xia soldiers.

"Defend!" Nito Baozhong roared angrily.

In an instant, countless Western Xia soldiers raised their shields and marched forward against the rain of arrows.

"Ahh

Suddenly screams rang out again and again.

The power of the Divine Arm Crossbow is incomparable, and even if there is a shield and armor to defend the distance of two hundred steps, there are still many Western Xia soldiers who have been hit by arrows.

"Don't stop! Keep rushing! Rindo roared.

The Western Xia soldiers are all experienced in a hundred battles, and naturally know that the power of the bow and crossbow is extremely strong, but it takes time, just need to withstand a few rounds of crossbow arrows and rush to the city, they can use the advantage of numbers to fight down the Xia City.

The crossbowmen of the Western Xia also fired one after another to deal with the siege soldiers of the Western Xia.

The Great Song Dynasty's Divine Arm Crossbow occupied the city wall and height advantage, and continued to fight back and continuously suppress the Western Xia Divine Arm Crossbow, but the Western Xia siege soldiers took the opportunity to rush to the city of Pingxia with casualties.

"Good!"

Rindo Baozhong watched the Western Xia soldiers easily attack the city, and scoffed at the fortress structure of Pingxia City, in his opinion, the fortress structure was just a snake to add to the painting, and adding so many city walls would only make it easier for them to attack the city.

However, they didn't know the special structure of the fortress, the closer the distance, the greater the lethality, when the Western Xia soldiers poured into the bevel of the fortress, the special shape of the fortress suddenly exerted its power. The shields of the Western Xia soldiers could only protect the front, and the sides and back were suddenly exposed.

When the Western Xia army rushed to the city of Pingxia City with huge casualties, one by one the ladders erected the city walls, and a large number of Western Xia soldiers climbed up along the ladders regardless of casualties.

Ant attached to the siege, this is the most commonly used trick in the siege of the Western Xia, the Yongle City of the year and the previous Jin Ming Zhai was defeated in the Western Xia.

However, the Western Xia soldiers did not know that this moment was the beginning of the nightmare.

The closer the distance of the Divine Arm Crossbow, the greater the power, and if you want to climb the ladder, you have to use both hands and feet, so that the back and sides are exposed, and under the terrifying attack of the Divine Arm Crossbow, it is like a live target.

"Shoot!" Chong Pu urged.

The power of the divine arm crossbow was extremely powerful, and the crossbow arrows pierced the armor of the Western Xia soldiers, and the Western Xia soldiers suffered heavy losses immediately, and the attacks from two or three sides made the shields and armor almost lose their protective effect.

The Western Xia soldiers were overwhelmed by it, falling from the ladder like dumplings, and posing no threat to Pingxia City at all.

Fan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, the fortress was worthy of being the strongest shield, and it really didn't disappoint him.

Although the fortress of later generations has been verified by countless actual battles, he has only heard about it after all, and now he has finally shined in the Great Song Dynasty.

And the power of the divine arm crossbow made him overjoyed, and the cooperation of the strongest shield and the strongest single weapon in the era of cold weapons shocked Song Xia as soon as it appeared.
