The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1161 Fierce Battle

Several huge fireballs roared in a perfect arc!The officers and soldiers on the top of the city raised their shields and lined up to block them!
Li Yu was very pleased to see it!Tang Bing's performance exceeded his expectations!He fully thought that these Tang soldiers would panic in the face of such a powerful offensive from the enemy!Unexpectedly, they are well-trained and respond in an orderly manner!

Mr. Huo was already standing next to a three-bed bow and crossbow. He loaded a huge arrow like lightning, leaned back, and slid back under his feet. The bowstring that could only be pulled by several people was easily full!At the same time, he fine-tuned the direction and shot an arrow!
The arrow shoots out like a dragon, hitting a fireball!
The fireball was made of mud and rocks, and it was instantly exploded by the giant arrow!There was only a loud bang, and sparks exploded all over the sky!

Sparks fell like rain in the mid-air between the two sides!When it fell on the snow, it made a chi-chi sound, and bursts of white air came out!
boom!
A fireball hit the outer wall of the city head, gravel flew, and smoke and dust stirred up!There was an obvious dent in the city wall!

boom!
boom!
Two fireballs hit the soldiers holding their shields to protect themselves on the top of the city!
The two Tang soldiers who were directly hit by the fireball were blasted several feet away together with several soldiers behind them. The shield was directly deformed by the smash, and the fireball was also cracked into several large pieces!
The two Tang soldiers who were the first to bear the brunt were bleeding from their mouths and noses, and they were already seriously injured!
A few soldiers nearby quickly carried them off the wall!There has long been a doctor waiting in the city!
Li Yu shouted angrily: "Counterattack! Three bows and crossbows are ready!"

"Yes!"

Countless Southern Tang soldiers rushed towards the five three-bow bed crossbows, and Mr. Huo stepped aside immediately!He knew that Tang Jun already had his own set of tactics, so occupying his position might affect his battle deployment and display of combat power!So he naturally gave way to Tang Jun.

About 35 Tang troops are in charge of a three-bow bed crossbow!One person is responsible for loading the arrow, 30 people are responsible for pulling the bowstring to prepare for shooting, and four people are responsible for turning the bed crossbow to adjust the direction!

"put!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Five giant arrows shot out instantly!

The arrow shoots out like a dragon, unstoppable!
Under Wu Yue's flag, Ye Xuan yelled: "No!" He flew up from the horse and grabbed Qian Long with his backhand, and retreated violently!

Puff puff puff!
Five huge arrows descended from the sky and plunged obliquely, one shot directly into the ground, two pierced Qian Long's and Ye Xuan's mounts into the ground respectively, and the other two pierced Qian Long's and Ye Xuan's mounts into the ground. The guards were directly nailed to the ground with their men and horses!
The death is terrible!

All the masters looked at each other, relatively speechless!

When the five giant arrows struck, none of them dared to attack them directly!

The Japanese samurai Serizawa Tamao stared at a crucified guard beside him, showing a suspicious expression!

I saw a huge long arrow like a javelin piercing through the left chest of the guard, exiting from the left back waist, entering through the rear hip of the mount, then exiting from the horse's left thigh, and finally nailed into the ground, revealing only The tail of the arrow is above the ground!
Serizawa Tamao frowned and said, "Who actually shot such a powerful arrow? It's unbelievable!"

Qian Long didn't bother to complain that the dozen or so masters had neglected their duties and forgot to protect themselves just now, and he also asked in shock: "Mr. Ye, what is this voice and appearance? Southern Tang actually has such a shocking weapon?"

Ye Xuan stared at the top of the city hundreds of feet away, and said indifferently: "This is called the three-bow bed crossbow!"

Although everyone was staring at the city, their minds were focused on Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan said: "The three-bow bed crossbow, also known as the eight-ox crossbow, means that it takes the strength of eight cows to pull the bowstring!"

Qian Long's pupils contracted, "The power of eight oxen? It's so terrifying!" As the saying goes, the power of nine oxen and two tigers seems to be far away from everyone, and there is no intuitive impression, but the shock of this giant arrow is very clear to everyone. So intuitive!
"How many troops are needed to pull the bowstring? What is the maximum range?"

Ye Xuan said: "It takes at least 30 people to pull the bowstring! The range can reach [-] steps!"

"30 people?" Not only Qian Long was surprised, but the Wu Gao master next to him was also surprised by Dayong!
"One thousand five hundred steps? Three steps and one foot, isn't it five hundred feet?"

"Good! We happen to be within range of them!"

"Damn! I always thought that their bows and arrows couldn't be shot at this distance, but I didn't expect them to have this thing!"

With an expression on Ye Xuan's face, he said slowly: "Arrows are made of hardwood and iron feathers. They are also called arrows with three swords in one shot! Three-bow bed crossbows can also shoot prong arrows! General Qian, shoot prong arrows!" At that time, it was truly spectacular! Look at the arrows, which are as big as javelins, and can be directly nailed into the city wall. When you attack the city, as long as you shoot them continuously, the rows of spears and arrows are like hanging ladders, and soldiers can use them to climb up!"

A bald-headed expert exclaimed in surprise: "Damn it! Isn't it better to use this to attack the city than a ladder, shoot it in a row, and then the army will go up after stepping on it?"

Ye Xuan said: "That's right! The premise is that the army can attack under the city wall!" If they can't overcome the opponent's arrow rain, then attacking the city with arrows is tantamount to empty talk!

The bald head said: "I never imagined that Nantang could make such a heavy siege weapon!"

Ye Xuan said meaningfully: "The three-bow bed crossbow was actually invented by the Great Zhou Dynasty! This thing has always been one of the top secrets of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How many people want to get its blueprints but can't! It is said that Khitan sent many people to steal the blueprints. The masters of the Shaowu Forest had many bloody battles with the masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty! In the end, they returned without success! Unexpectedly, the Southern Tang Dynasty became the second dynasty that could manufacture three-bow bed crossbows! It seems that the espionage work was done well!"

Qian Long's eyes flickered, "To capture this city, we must grab a three-bow bed crossbow! Then we will copy some! Herald!"

The herald next to him said: "Here!"

"Let the slingers stop attacking the top of the city, and just bomb the city gate!"

"Order!"

The herald quickly waved the five-color flag, and the trebuchet had been loaded at this time, swish, swish, and five fireballs went straight to the city gate!Although the accuracy was a bit poor, four hit the city wall, but one of them hit the city gate after all!
boom!
The city gate was thick and heavy, so naturally it would not be breached all at once. The fireball hit the door panel and exploded a large amount of sparks, and the dust on the top of the city gate was shaken and fell down one after another!The Southern Tang soldiers behind the city gate were also taken aback!They raised their spears and prepared to fight!

Qian Long shouted again: "Herald officer!"

The herald said: "Here!"

"Build a bridge and attack the city!"

"Order!"

Raise the flag high, change gestures, and the drums of war sound!

The sound of drums shook the sky, and Wu Yue's army suddenly became murderous!
On the top of the city, Li Yu's eyes flickered, and the blood in his body began to boil. He looked up to the sky and screamed, and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order!"

All the officers and soldiers on the top of the city responded at the same time: "Yes!" The sound was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, shaking the earth!
"Archer ready!"

Hundreds of Southern Tang soldiers took down their longbows one after another, set up arrows and bent their bows!

Under the city, Wu Yue's army began to flock to Changzhou City like a tide!

Ye Xuan said: "Commander, in order to reduce the casualties of the vanguard and try to avoid being shot by the archers on the top of the city, I suggest that we should use trebuchets to attack the top of the city as a cover!"

Qian Long was a little entangled, "I'm afraid I'll destroy those three-bow crossbows if they hit the top of the city!"

Ye Xuan said: "Then your casualties and battle damage will be huge!"

At this time Serizawa Tamaxiong said: "Qian Sang! Let my people go first! They have shields, so they are not afraid of Nantang's feather arrows!" He acted very righteously!

Qian Long deliberately shook his head and said, "Mr. Serizawa, we are the main force, how can we let you take the lead?"

Serizawa Tamao said: "What's the matter? We are a brotherhood, why should we divide each other? Since our Japanese samurai happened to restrain their archers, we should go first!" Everyone thought: Restrain?What's the meaning?
Qian Long immediately pushed the boat along, fearing that the other party would regret it if he was more polite, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Serize!"

Serizawa Tama Yuichi waved his hand and said generously: "Qian Sang! You're welcome!" He then walked a few feet away, took out a flute and played it!The sound of the flute pierced through the snow all over the sky and reached the sky above the Dongpu team!The Japanese warriors immediately changed their expressions, their eyes were radiant with murderous intent!
"Yasi give it!"

The 5000 people rushed forward like wild horses, quickly overtaking Wu Yue's army and leaving!

Qian Long said: "This Japanese can also play the flute!"

Ye Xuan said: "That's not called a flute! It's called a shakuhachi!"

"Shakuhachi?" Qian Long was startled, but then whispered: "Changing the name but not the medicine, I guess it must have been passed down from our Central Plains!"

Ye Xuan said: "Qian Shuai is right, this kind of flute is called shakuhachi because it is one chi eight inches long, and it was later passed on by Master Jianzhen when he traveled east to Japan!"

The Dongdu soldiers quickly rushed to the side of the moat and quickly set up formations. Countless shields were tightly put together to form a huge protective umbrella!They're waiting for bridge builders to catch up!

The range of the bow and arrow on the top of the city is enough to shoot thirty steps outside the moat, so these Japanese soldiers were immediately submerged under the rain of arrows sprinkled on the top of the city!
The Japanese soldiers' shields were made of unknown materials, but the arrows fell from the shock!

Looking at the Japanese soldiers huddled together in the rain of arrows, Qian Long sneered in his heart: Tamao Serizawa, do you think I didn't hesitate to take the lead because I didn't know that you were also interested in the Sangong bed crossbow?

Serizawa Tamao also sneered while hiding under the shield: Do you think I really took the lead for you?Perhaps you also guessed that the reason why Lao Tzu took the lead was that he took a fancy to the three-bow bed crossbow, hum, but you didn't know that the reason why Lao Tzu took the lead was to "priority robbery"!
All the major dynasties have a rule, the first to attack the enemy's city will be rewarded the most!

And the reward of Wu Yue's army is very simple, the day the city is broken, the army will rob for three days!The first to attack the top of the city has priority!
In Changzhou City, there are two Buddhist temples, one is called Baolin Temple and the other is called Tianning Temple.

Baolin Temple was founded by Xiao Yansheye Wuwei, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasties, and was once a royal temple!There is the highest Guanyin Pavilion in the world, thirty feet high, standing behind the Heavenly King Hall!

Tianning Temple has the tallest pagoda in the world, [-] feet high, opposite to Guanyin Pavilion of Baolin Temple, facing south to north!

These two places are where Serizawa Tamao is eyeing!One contains the invincible wealth of Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, and the other contains the "War Essays" written by Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty!
Xiao Yan felt the pressure of Hou Jing in his later years. In order to keep a hand, he prepared a large amount of gold and silver treasures in advance in case of unexpected events. Unfortunately, Hou Yejing took precautions and kept Xiao Yan to death without giving him a chance to make a move!Xiao Yan died so uselessly, he died of thirst!But after living to 86, waiting scenes are quite interesting!It's a pity that those secrets of wealth have been drowned for many years after Xiao Yan's death!When the Emperor told Serizawa Tamao that the fortune was most likely in Changzhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Serizawa Tamao did not hesitate to go through fire and water for His Majesty!
By the way, the emperor entrusted him with another task, to retrieve the "notes" of Guo Ziyi, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty!Those are no ordinary notes!That is Guo Ziyi's war experience in quelling the "Anshi Rebellion" and Ashina Congli Rebellion!From the formation of the enemy army to the comparison of various data between the two sides, the gains and losses of several battles are both analyzed and summarized. It can be said that this is a must-have military book!Priceless!
Of course, the reason why Serizawa Tamao dared to let the Japanese samurai take the lead is that the combat power of the Japanese samurai is absolutely extraordinary!
Since the three-bow bed crossbow is placed on the top of the city, its firing angle is limited to far, not close, and it is difficult to take care of those under the nose.So Tang Jun can only deal with the Japanese army with a rain of arrows!

Seeing that the rain of arrows seemed to have little lethality, Tang Jun began to use rockets!
The Japanese samurai tilted the shield at a certain angle, and the rocket slid down to the ground as soon as it touched the shield, and the flames were wiped out by the snow on the ground!
The bridging army in Wuyue's army, with a huge shield above their heads, pushed the "flying bridge" underneath, and the five roads marched in unison. When they rushed to the moat, they did not slow down at all. The soldiers in front jumped directly into the river and swam desperately to the opposite bank!
The soldiers in the river immediately lost their protective cover when they jumped!
The arrows rained down, and the river surface was riddled with holes. Many arrows had already hit Wuyue soldiers!But they swam desperately to the opposite bank, one after another, and finally a few people landed, and they rushed forward desperately. At this time, everyone finally found that they had ropes tied around their waists, and they were pulling the rope desperately!

More than 100 people died, but more than a dozen people rushed to the opposing bank. The ropes they tied drove the flying bridge from the water to the opposite bank!

As soon as the first flying bridge was built, the Japanese warriors lined up along the flying bridge holding their shields and rushed over!Then they helped build the second flybridge!Then the third block, the fourth block, and the fifth block!

The Japanese samurai were indeed the first team to cross the moat!
They rushed to the foot of the city wall like lightning!

More than a dozen Japanese samurai took out their Flying God Claws, ready to hook them to the city!Suddenly hot oil was poured on the top of the city!

A few Japanese samurai raised their sleeves and heard, "Biga!" They knew it was pine oil, and the city would definitely throw the fire immediately!
The warriors dispersed quickly, and indeed countless torches fell from the sky!

The shield was raised high, and there was a loud bang bang bang. The Japanese warriors with oil on their bodies had already hid in the city gate hole.
On the top of the city was another splash of hot oil, and a Japanese samurai raised his shield to block it, and the oil splashed everywhere, and then the samurai threw a flying hook, and the hook was hooked on the wall, and the samurai's hands and feet And it approached the city in the blink of an eye!Just as he was about to jump up to the top of the wall, he saw a man whose whole body was in pitch black with a head whose face could not be seen clearly. The man punched him, causing the warrior to lose all consciousness without warning!
Qianlong in the middle army and Tamayu Serizawa in the castle were shocked!
The samurai was blasted into a blood mist by a punch!
There are peerless masters in the city?

　Thanks to Benbenlong and Yudong for their great support!
