Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 134 Once and For All
"Isn't this a bed crossbow?" Liang Zan asked suspiciously, "Why does the manager call this thing a widow maker?"

Chen Ying smiled wryly: "This is a bed crossbow, but it's also a widow maker. As long as you get hit by an arrow, you will definitely die. What is it if you are not a widow maker?"

This bed crossbow is no joke. In ancient times, this thing was a cannon.Do you know how it opens?

Turn the axle, then hit the trigger with a hammer, and the range can reach 500 meters!This is beyond the imagination of the northern nomads.

During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom invaded and reached Chanzhou in central Hebei. The cavalry went straight to the city, trying to preemptively take down the North City.While organizing the onslaught, he observed the weaknesses of the Song army immediately on the high slope. The morale of the Song army was like a rainbow, and the arrows were like rain. The Liao army gradually became disorganized. , but in this way, he was flying around, exposing his command position.

Xiao Darin thought that his position was beyond the range of the bow and arrow, and he had shield soldiers on the side facing the Song army, so he thought it was safe.As a result, dozens of crossbows were fired by the Song army, and Xiao Darin, who was immediately on the high slope, became the target of intensive shooting. The first arrow directly hit the horse of Tanlan, and he himself was shot in the ribs, as if throwing the arrow on the ground. In the blink of an eye Another arrow pierced through the top of the helmet and came out from one side of the eye. He couldn't support himself and fell to the ground. He died in the camp that night. He was hit by six arrows when he died.

There is no way to defend the bed crossbow at all, no matter how heavy the shield is, it cannot withstand the bed crossbow.The ancient city walls were basically rammed with steamed soil mixed with glutinous rice juice. Although it is not cement, it cannot be smashed with a hammer, but the bed crossbow is five hundred steps away, and one arrow can shoot one foot into the wall.

"You can't be beaten passively!" Chen Ying knew the power of the bed crossbow well, so he immediately ordered: "Come here, immediately order Luo Shixin and Yu Guni to lead the cavalry to destroy the bed crossbow outside the enemy's city!"

Just as Chen Ying's order was issued, there was a shrill piercing sound.

"Arrow rain!" Amidst the sharp piercing sound, several soldiers at the top of the city were hit by arrows at the same time, and even Liang Zan was almost shot by accident.

Against the nomadic horse bows, the Huaxia defenders still have the advantage in range.Unless the enemy puts himself within range regardless of casualties, and endures the baptism of archery on the city wall, there is no way to suppress the defenders on the city wall.

However, although Liu Tong's troops did not have many crossbows, at most two hundred, the range of the two sides was almost undefeated. Both sides had their own strengths.

However, during the crossbow shooting between the two sides, Liang Jun took advantage of the fact that the defenders on the city wall had no time to suppress the city, and hundreds of Liang Jun infantry carried ladders and began to ascend the city.At the same time, dozens of Liang Jun soldiers rushed towards the city gate with dry firewood and oil tanks.

Like other city gates, the gates of Lingzhou City are made of expanded wood and iron.A thin layer of iron skin cannot withstand burning at all.If the enemies under the city gate cannot be expelled, the city gate can be burned down in at most half an hour.

Chen Ying looked at Liang Jun outside the city and sneered. The enemy general's siege method was not wrong, but very methodical.But he overlooked one point, Chen Yingshou was in Lingzhou, it was not incapable of going out of the city at all.Chen Ying is also not afraid of field battles with the enemy.

Chen Ying pointed at Fang Jiangtao, the brigade commander of Dongcheng City, and said, "You take over the command, how to fight, let go!"

"Obey!" Fang Jiangtao didn't know if he had read too many dramas, but he shouted loudly: "The final general wishes to issue a military order. If he can't defend the city wall, come and see him!"

Chen Ying was amused by Fang Jiangtao: "Okay, the manager is very optimistic about you!"

Fang Jiangtao's face flushed with excitement: "People are in the city!"

In fact, Chen Ying did not expect that he had unintentionally created the Great Tang's Iron Wall General.A few years later, Fang Jiangtao defended Beiting City. Facing tens of thousands of Western Turkic coalition forces, he insisted on defending Beiting City for four full months and became the Iron Wall General rewarded by Emperor Taizong.

When Chen Ying walked down the east city wall, Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, and Yu Guni, who had been ordered to come urgently, had already led more than [-] light cavalry to stand ready.

Especially after seeing the power of the Lancers, Chen Ying used the resources in his hands to rebuild a batch of hooked sickles.At this time, Chen Ying already had five regiments of cavalry in his hands, plus the Turkic servant cavalry under Yu Guni's command, there were more than [-] cavalry alone.

Chen Ying used the captured war horses to replenish all the four regiments of the Yue Cavalry Army that had been damaged in battle, and then used Guo Zihe's remnants and the surviving young men of Lingzhou to form the Lingwu Cavalry Regiment.There were more than [-] cavalry in five cavalry regiments, all of which were equipped with hook and sickle spears. In order to increase the cavalry's defensive ability, Chen Ying replaced these cavalry with high-quality iron armor from the captured armor.

war.

Seeing Chen Ying's arrival, Yu Guni quickly plopped on the ground and kowtowed three times to Chen Ying, "My honorable master, your servant is willing to trample all the bedbugs outside the city to death!"

Chen Ying waved his hands and said, "The time has not come yet. Stay safe and don't be impatient!"

"Not yet? When will it be?" Luo Shidao said, "If the enemies outside the city are allowed to go on like this, our morale will suffer!"

Zhang Shigui rolled his eyes, as if he had seen through Chen Ying's intentions.

Chen Yingdao: "Be patient. This time, I am going to get rid of this bug once and for all. If I want to fight, I will kill them so that they will be terrified and run away. From now on, let them look at my general's flag and stay away!"

"The manager wants to beat and disable Master Liang?" Luo Shixin asked suspiciously?
"Yes!" Chen Ying said with emotion: "Nowadays, the situation in the world is gradually becoming clearer. Datang will definitely defeat all the anti-kings and reunify the world. Wei Gong Li Mi and Jianghuai Chief Du Fuwei ask to surrender, and Datang will have the confidence to reunite." Strength, to compete with Wang Shichong for the Central Plains. At this critical moment, we can only cripple Master Liang, leaving him without the strength and confidence to disrupt the situation!"

There is a saying that the butt determines the head.The brain decides the pattern.

If we say that in the past, Chen Ying's greatest wish was to build a small place, accept a few beautiful maidservants, and live a life of farming in Nongfu Spring.However, the uncertain times have forced Chen Ying to this point, and Chen Ying's state of mind has also changed. Naturally, he is no longer willing to be a small landlord, just waiting to die.

He wants power, status, and beauty.

He has to work hard to obtain a strength that can counterattack Li Xiuning.

The shrill screams sounded one after another, and with the suppression of Liang Jun's crossbows outside the city, Liang Jun began to attack the city with ants.Seemingly seeing victory in sight, the Turkic army, who had been hiding in the dark and was about to ambush the Lingzhou cavalry, also joined the siege sequence.

The city gate had been burned extremely hot by the fire outside the city. Even though it was more than ten steps away, Chen Ying could still feel the heat wave in the air.

Seeing that the city gate was crumbling, Chen Ying shouted: "Soldiers, get ready to attack!"
