A few buglers stood at the forefront of the formation, waiting for Wang Quanbin's order to blow the horn of attack!
The horns in their hands are all made of rhino horns, which are tough and fine in texture, and the sound they make is loud and crisp, and can travel a long distance!

One hundred thousand troops approached the city, and a strong sense of oppression came over them!

Especially at this time when the clouds are thick, the sky is dark, the wind and rain are blowing, the cold iron armor, and the stern eyes exude a monstrous murderous aura!
Red lanterns were lit one after another in the Song Army formation, and there was a lantern bearer every 30 people.

This kind of red lantern was originally used in the camp to facilitate night duty, but it came in handy at this time!

The lampshade of the lantern is made of special red silk, which is as thin as a cicada's wing. It not only has good light transmission, but also has good air permeability. Even if it is rained, it can be dried quickly, because the rainwater does not stay on it, and it hardly sticks to water!
Misty dark night, countless red light

Siege must have the momentum of siege!
Yuan Zishan and Chang Zijin held up the umbrella handed over by a Song soldier just now, and quietly looked at the Great Song Army in front of them!That overwhelming aura gives people a strong sense of oppression!Every soldier stood upright like a javelin, his resolute face revealed an indomitable determination, and the sharp spear tip shone with bloody light under the red light, revealing a strong murderous look!
The heavy cavalry and war horses were silent, but it made people feel a terrifying depression, as if a volcano that was about to erupt, once it released its flames, it would destroy everything!
The ten trebuchets were slowly pushed to a suitable position in front of the formation.It is not only out of the range of the opponent's crossbow arrows, but also as close as possible to the opponent, so that the stone bullets thrown can cover the widest attack range!Do the most damage to your enemies!The trebuchets used by the Song army followed the Tang style, and they were quite powerful!It is said that the catapults used in the battle against Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty could throw stone bullets weighing more than three hundred catties, which caused heavy damage to Goguryeo's wooden city gates!Now it is no problem to attack the Xingzhou city gate. No matter how thick the city gate is, it is still made of wood. If one stone bomb is not enough, it will be two, and if two are not enough, it will be four!However, the flight trajectory of the stone bullet is a large upward curved arc. When the stone bullet falls, the trajectory is almost perpendicular to the ground, and the city gate is usually shrunk several feet inside the door opening, so the stone bullet usually cannot hit the city gate. , so the current stone bombs are mostly used to bombard the city wall or the enemy's baggage on the city head!
Each trebuchet is operated by four soldiers!When pushing the cart, four people work together. After arriving at the designated position, one person is responsible for placing the stone balls. Of course, most of them are earth balls now. Fire stone bombs!The slingers are ready to throw stones!

The twenty ballista carts of the Song Army lined up, and the arrowheads of the giant crossbow bolts were tied with gunpowder!Different from the three-bow bed crossbow, the main target of the ballista is the infantry. Once the powder pack of the arrow explodes among the densely populated soldiers, it will cause a large number of casualties to the enemy!
Ten rides and three bows and crossbows were also pushed into the big formation!This is Song Jun's real killer!The reason why there is another name called One Gun and Three Swords Arrow is because the shaft of the arrow is as thick as the shaft of a gun. sword!The tail of a normal feather arrow has feathers for balance, usually carved feathers, but the "tail feathers" of this crossbow arrow are two "iron pieces", shaped like double swords, this is the second sword and the third sword!It is the origin of one shot, three swords and arrows!
The reason why it is also called the stepping arrow is because it can be used as a ladder!

The giant crossbow is so powerful that it can penetrate the city wall!When the stepping arrows were shot into the city wall one by one, they just formed a hanging ladder, and soldiers could "step on the prongs" along the hanging ladder composed of giant arrows to attack the top of the city!Compared with ladders, this method of siege is obviously more efficient!The ladder is erected vertically at the top of the city, and all the soldiers rush up vertically along the same line. No gain!
The four battering rams are lined up vertically, ready to advance one by one!

The advantage of the battering ram is that the impact is extremely powerful. As long as twelve soldiers shake the hammer together, the city gate will be smashed in a short time!

But the Achilles heel of the battering ram is that it is too heavy. If you want to push this big guy under the city gate, you need to be baptized by the enemy's arrow rain, flowing fire, and boulders.This is why Wang Quanbin prepared four battering rams!If the four attack together, one of them will get through the heavy fire and reach the city gate, right?

Xingzhou City Head.A few soldiers looked down the city through the battlements.The heavy rain was pouring, and I saw countless lanterns lit up in the Song army's position in the distance, illuminating the armor of the Song army in the rain, and illuminating the battering rams, trebuchets, ballista carts and three-bow bed crossbows in front of the formation!
"The Rita Immortal Banban, they actually have ten trebuchets!"

"Damn it, if ten trebuchets bombed in turn, we have no place to hide!"

"Hurry up and report to General Wang so that you can prepare quickly!"

Suddenly someone behind him said: "No need!"

I saw Wang Zhaoyuan and seven people coming behind them.There is a Shu soldier who holds an umbrella for Wang Zhaoyuan!
Several Shu soldiers suddenly discovered a strange thing! The seven people who came up together with General Wang seemed to be covered with an invisible coir raincoat, and the rain was flowing down through their skirts!
The bone-faced commander with a haggard face and skinny bones said: "They actually have so many siege weapons!"

Behind him is also the corpse general who has no flesh on his face and a dead face. He said: "General Wang, if the Song army attacks by force, you may not be able to defend this city!"

Wang Zhaoyuan smiled and said: "How is it possible? There are countless rolling trees and thunder stones on the top of my city, and they can't climb up at all! My city gate is now covered with iron plates on both sides, and they can't break it at all! The city gate can't be broken, the top of the city If you can’t come up, why can’t you keep it?”

The maiden who controlled the dragon in a yellow shirt said: "Their catapults will destroy all the possessions on your city!"

Wang Zhaoyuan stared at the row of trebuchets under the red lanterns outside the city, frowned and said, "Can they hit so accurately?"

Marshal Bone said: "You don't believe it?"

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "I don't believe it!"

General Corpse Corpse said indifferently: "You are so headstrong!"

Wang Zhaoyuan said with a dry smile: "Hehe, even if they can reach the top of the city, aren't there still some of your great masters here?"

The Dragon Control Maiden said: "You want us to block the stone bullets for you?"

Wang Zhaoyuan noticed that the other party's tone was not kind, so he immediately laughed and said: "Don't dare! I just said that once the Song army captures the top of the city, you will still be in charge!"

Marshal Bone said: "You are too passive in defending like this! Your soldiers can only climb up from the passage one by one, while the Song Army has three bow beds and crossbows to shoot arrows on the prongs, and they can build more than a dozen arrow ladders. They can The soldiers climbed up the city wall in ten ways, in such a narrow place, the Song army came up faster than your Shu army, tell me, can you hold it?"

Wang Zhaoyuan smiled and said, "Aren't you still there?"

Corpse General was also a little angry this time, "Us?"

Wang Zhaoyuan smiled and said: "No, I mean your skeleton soldiers and corpse soldiers can support you from the top of the city!"

Marshal Bone said: "You may not understand a situation!"

Wang Zhaoyuan immediately said solemnly: "I would like to hear the details!"

Marshal Bone said: "Once my skeleton soldiers are released, they will kill all the living people around them!"

Wang Zhaoyuan was startled, "You mean...you mean...skeleton soldiers kill anyone they see? No distinction between the enemy and the enemy?"

Marshal Bone looked out of the city, "Why don't we distinguish between the enemy and the enemy? As long as they are on the right battlefield, they will never kill one of their own by mistake!"

Wang Zhaoyuan also looked outside the city, "Where do you mean to put the battlefield?"

Marshal Bone said: "That's right! Only by keeping the enemy out of the door can you minimize your losses!"

The Maiden of Dragon Control said: "Instead of defending, it is better to attack! And our army is most suitable for positional warfare! If the Song army breaks through the city gate, our army is not good at street fighting!"

Zhao Chongtao thinks what she said is very reasonable. Whether it is monsters or living corpses, although Song Jun still has the upper hand in a maze-like city, the efficiency of killing the enemy will be much lower. Song Jun will make full use of various buildings as bunkers. In guerrilla warfare, even if the Song army is wiped out in the end, the entire Xingzhou city will be in ruins!
Zhao Chongtao said: "General Wang, I also think we should take the initiative to attack! Otherwise, even if we win the war and Xingzhou is beaten to pieces, what's the point of defending an empty city?"

Seeing that Zhao Chongtao had sided with the Demon Sect so quickly, Wang Zhaoyuan looked a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to get angry, after all, Zhao Chongtao was responsible for supervising the army!He thought about it for a while, and it really made sense, he immediately straightened his back, "Soldier!" A Shu soldier behind him shouted: "Here!"

In the wilderness outside Xingzhou City, the Song Army's position!
Many Song soldiers have discovered a strange phenomenon.When the rain hit everyone's armor, layers of water mist would be splashed, and under the illumination of the lights, it would emit a gorgeous luster. From certain angles, it seemed that a small rainbow appeared as if there was no sign of it!But when the rain fell on the deputy envoy, something strange happened!When the rain fell three inches above his head, it flowed all around, as if he was wearing an invisible crown to keep out the rain!The sharp-eyed soldier even saw that the rainwater flowing down his body didn't touch his skirt at all!

The deputy envoy seems to have an invisible bell jar around his body, blocking out the raindrops all over the sky, and his white clothes are still spotless!so amazing!

Wang Quanbin said: "Master Qingsong, can all fellow Taoists take their seats?"

Daoist Qingsong said: "All fellow Taoists have already taken their positions behind the army!"

Wang Quanbin said: "Okay!" He turned his head and asked Feng Jiuxiao: "Master Deputy Envoy, the general is about to launch an attack, what instructions do you have?" !
Feng Jiuxiao said: "You are the only coach at this time and here, you have the final say!"

Wang Quanbin immediately bowed and said, "Thank you sir!"

Feng Jiuxiao thought to himself: You don't have to grant the orders of the generals outside. Wouldn't it be criticized that I commanded beyond my authority?

Wang Quanbin thought to himself: The deputy envoy really has a big structure. Others would at least have to put on a show to give some pointers, but he directly declared in public that he is the only supreme commander here, which is enough to give him face!
After all, Feng Jiuxiao is the "Guest Helping the War" that he specially asked Taoist Priest Baihe to travel thousands of miles to Kuizhou in person, and the other party can give advice if he wants to!What's more, the other party's official position is far above his own, so it's not too much to give him any opinions!
Although Wang Quanbin could laugh and refuse to implement the unreasonable suggestions put forward by the other party, once Feng Jiuxiao spoke in front of the soldiers of the three armies, no matter whether his opinions were correct or not, his tall image as a great general would immediately be three points shorter!

So he was very grateful that Feng Jiuxiao didn't steal the limelight from him as the Grand Marshal of Shu!

Wang Quanbin rode a horse and scanned the entire army in front of the formation, and then began to review from the left to the right, "Brothers! The enemy we are going to face today may not only be the soldiers of Dashu, but also the evil corps of the Demon Cult Skeletons, living corpses, magic crows, and even monsters, although these monsters are very ferocious, we have fought them before! We fought several bloody battles with them outside Jingyang City! In the end, we were the ones who won the battle! Today, the victory will still belong to us! So, don’t be intimidated by the enemy’s ferocious appearance, and don’t be fooled by the enemy’s bluff! Perhaps, at the beginning, we will The sacrifice will be huge, but evil cannot prevail against good, and no matter how crazy the evil is, it will eventually end! Brothers, the time has come to test us, and prepare to attack the city!" All the soldiers were shocked, and the battle was about to break out!
Wang Quanbin paused, let the rain flow from his cheeks, and suddenly said in a stern voice: "But today I will put my ugly words to the fore! Our brothers belong to brothers, and our feelings belong to feelings, but we are all soldiers of the Song Dynasty after all! Eat the king's salary, Loyalty to the emperor! Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a short time! If anyone escapes in battle, don't blame the general for dealing with it!"

Suddenly a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the intense electric light illuminated the whole earth like daytime!Then several thunderbolts exploded from the top of the head!
Wang Quanbin raised the spear in his hand high, pointed at Xingzhou City, "Attack!"

The infantry begins to charge!
Whoosh whoosh—

Ten catapults instantly fired ten huge stone bombs!
The stone bullet drew a perfect arc and hit the city of Xingzhou!
At the same time, the gate of Xingzhou City suddenly opened, and a torrent rushed out of it!
Dashu infantry!

Wang Quanbin's eyes flickered, "They actually took the initiative to attack?"

Daoist Qingsong pointed to the top of the wall, "Jiu Xiao, do you think that is Marshal Bone?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes!" He took out the Shocking Bow from behind, "Damn it, it flashes really fast!" Before his Thunder Dragon Ice Soul Arrow had condensed, the Bone Marshal actually flashed!Did he see himself?Feng Jiuxiao couldn't help having doubts!

Xingzhou City Head.

General Corpse Corpse was dragged behind by Marshal Bone, a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Marshal Bone said: "Didn't you see that white dress?"

The Corpse General's pupils suddenly contracted!

"Isn't he in Kuizhou? How is it possible?" He couldn't believe it, and he was about to lie on the wall again!
The Dragon Control Maiden said: "No!"

The zombie general stopped, after all he didn't dare to take that step!
Everyone looked at each other!

"He's here, we can't meet him face to face! None of us can catch the Heaven-shaking Bow!"

Suddenly someone said: "You can't do it, I can give it a try!"

Everyone turned their heads, only to see purple robes and gold crowns standing proudly!

"Young Master Lian?"

Liancheng smiled proudly, "To be precise, I am now the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

Thank you "Yudong" for your strong support!
