At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 20 Hematemesis
"Everyone, there will be bandits blocking the way ahead. If you are timid, it is not too late to disembark now." Yang Shiyao shouted.

"How can Marquis Yu look down on people?" Wu Chifei shouted: "We were favored by the emperor and sent to the front line to fight. Now we retreat before we arrive. How can we show our face to others?"

Wu Chifei has not passed the strategy, he is just a deputy general of [-] people. There are nine others like him. Among the other ten, eight deputy commanders and two Ji Yiwen are all stationed in Qingtian County.

In addition to sending people away, Yang Shiyao also had to escort a batch of supplies, so he brought more than 40 ships.

When the fleet entered Chuzhou, Yuan army cavalry appeared on the shore, watching from a distance.

Soon, the fleet entered a corner with many shoals on both sides. The Yuan army set up more than fifty arrow towers on the north bank. When the fleet entered the shooting range, they immediately fired arrows to stop it.

Yang Shiyao shouted and ordered: "Speed ​​up and rush over, don't show your head!"

The boatmen immediately paddled like crazy, trying to get through the area enveloped by the rain of arrows.

Wu Chifei shouted: "Yu Hou, I have the bow and arrow in hand, why don't we fight back?"

Yang Shiyao shouted: "There are rows of vines on the side of the ship to protect us. There is very little damage. If we attack back, the casualties will be heavy."

"It's better to kill the bandit Ruiqi." Wu Chifei shouted.

Yang Shiyao shouted: "Don't be idle. Our mission is to escort supplies into the city. As long as Qingtian is not lost, it will be a success."

"You have the emperor's destiny, and you should die to repay it. Why should you be afraid?"

A man beside Wu Chifei shouted angrily, took a bow and arrow in his hand, leaned out suddenly, and without seeing his aim, he let go, and an archer fell from the arrow tower.

Before he could fire the second arrow, a hail of arrows from the opposite side enveloped him, and the shot turned into a sieve on the spot.

He has armor on his body and cannot defend himself against arrows, but if an arrow penetrates his neck, he will soon run out of breath.

Yang Shiyao was so angry that he vomited blood and cursed: "Idiot, the war is dangerous, how dare you disobey orders?"

The role model was right next to them, and everyone did not dare to make any noise. They huddled behind the side of the ship. Fortunately, the fleet quickly passed through the area covered by the arrow rain, and there were no more casualties.

After arriving outside Qingtian County, we followed the artificial river to the city. After checking the documents, seals, and personnel, we also checked the passwords. All four were correct. The water gate was opened, and the ships entered the city one after another.

A strong smell of blood hit my face. Before I even got off the boat, I heard a loud bang, like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracking.

This is Liu Shen using Huihui artillery to bombard the city wall again.

Jiang Zheng didn't care. He walked over with a big smile, hugged Yang Shiyao and said, "Second brother, is there any damage?"

Yang Shiyao said angrily: "A straight mother-in-law, a reckless fool died, but she only lost her good martial arts skills."

Jiang Zheng also felt a pity when he heard that the deceased's archery test was above the level of armor. It is not easy to train an excellent archer.

But that's it, there are so many people dying, and everyone has already gotten used to it.

Yang Shiyao said: "I have brought with me a thousand thunderbolts and the identification plates of the soldiers. His Majesty ordered that the identification plates of the fallen be enshrined in Jiangxin Temple. The country will never be destroyed, the sacrifices will be endless, and the incense will last forever."

Jiang Zheng raised his hands to the east and said, "Your Majesty is so kind to me, and I should repay it with death."

Next to him, the soldiers who were taking arrows from the ship also saluted eastward and shouted: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

After Jiang Zheng finished thanking him, Yang Shiyao took him to a ship and said mysteriously: "There is something good. This is an artifact that was personally pointed out by His Majesty."

Jiang Zheng took a closer look and saw that the object was about the size of a wheelbarrow and seemed to be a bed crossbow. However, the structure was different and it was not an ordinary bed crossbow.

Yang Shiyao introduced: "This is a torque crossbow with a range of only forty steps. However, it has excellent accuracy. It is also simple in structure and easy to manufacture. It can be carried, set up, and fired by two people. The most important thing is that it can project sky thunder!"

"So... so..." Jiang Zheng touched the torque crossbow and was so excited that he couldn't help himself. After a long time, he said: "Your Majesty is wise and wise. Why should the country be unhappy after getting this holy king?"

Yang Shiyao smiled and said: "There are eighty in total, and there are thirty craftsmen accompanying them. The city can make them by itself. Brother, do you want to test-fire them?"

"It should be so!" Jiang Cheng couldn't wait.

When he arrived at the school grounds, he set up the torque crossbow. Yang Shiyao took out a sky thunder and said: "A long pottery tube filled with 25 kilograms of gunpowder, with a total weight of [-] kilograms. The torque crossbow can be used to throw it up to thirty steps, and is used for bombing." The siege equipment is absolutely powerful.”

"It's not easy to experiment casually like this." Jiang Cheng calmed down and said.

After guarding the city for more than twenty days, there were over a thousand casualties in the city, but he was not willing to use a thunderbolt. How could he be willing to do so now?In Taizhou, the battle over Zhenning Gate has reached its most critical moment.

Seeing Liu Shiyong personally leading the charge and killing the Yuan soldiers, Dong Wenbing secretly cursed a piece of trash and shouted: "Dong Wenyong, Shi Yuan."

"The general will be here." They both replied at the same time.

Dong Wenbing shouted: "Each of you will lead your own troops and seize the city gate. If Fan Wenhu's troops are in the way, attack as one."

Next to him, Fan Wenhu moved his mouth but did not dare to speak.

When he was stationed in Happy City outside the city, Dong Wenbing came in person and not only cut off his military power, but also cut off himself. Now his buttocks are still hurting.

Of course Fan Wenhu was very angry, but he could only endure it.

Dong Wenbing was Kublai Khan's confidant and beloved general, nicknamed "Brother Dong", and Fan Wenhu was not a surrendered general who dared to offend him.

And Dong Wenbing was worthy of being a famous general. After arriving outside the city, he immediately contacted the big households in the city to respond internally and agreed to open the door today, and he succeeded.

It's just that Fan Wenhu's fighting spirit is so poor that 2000 people can't control the city gate, which is really speechless.

It doesn't matter, our troops will be dispatched to capture Taizhou today.

Two thousand horse troops and three thousand infantry troops jumped out of the formation in an instant and rushed to Zhenning Gate.

Seeing that the Yuan army dispatched the horse army, Liu Shiyong quickly ordered: "Return to the city and prepare for street fighting."

Fight while retreating. After retreating to the city, just as they broke away from Fan Wenhu's troops, Dong Wenyong had already led the cavalry into the city.

There were fences on both sides of the street. Jia Sidao used this trick to defend Ezhou back then. Now Liu Shiyong used the same trick again. Dong Wenyong didn't care and sent his troops to attack.

The horses' hooves fell, and the tiles on the houses trembled. Three thousand infantry troops entered the city, and Ji Shiyuan led his troops to seize the horse path.

Just when he reached the corner, Ji Shiyuan saw several clay pots with sparks thrown down from above. Before he could understand them, he only saw a flash of fire, his body was in severe pain, and he lost consciousness.

Outside the city, Dong Wenbing was about to drive his army into the city when he heard a loud bang like thunder falling from the sky in the city. When he didn't know why, countless figures appeared from the top of the city and threw things down.

Boom boom~
The fire shone brightly and the sound was like thunder, and the soldiers crowded at the city gate fell to the ground.

"What is this?" Dong Wenbing was shocked.

The faces on the left and right are ashen, and there is no one who can respond with words.

"Run~"

"God's punishment, God's punishment~"

Yuan Bing, who was lucky enough to escape the first wave of explosions, ran out crying, throwing away the sword and gun in his hand, and used his free hand to pick off his armor, for fear that he would run too slowly.

Of the three to five hundred soldiers outside the city gate, a hundred or so soldiers fled. Those inside the city were stunned by the bombing. When they arrived at the city gate, they found that the city gate had been closed, and it was really difficult to fly even with wings.

Dong Wenyong was protected by his personal guards and was injured but not dead. Seeing that only a hundred of the two thousand horse troops could stand, he couldn't help but laugh miserably: "We have been fighting for many years and have never suffered such a disastrous defeat. Now we are at the end of the road and the only option is death."

After saying that, he pulled out the waist knife and put it across his neck, pulled it sharply, and immediately died.

When Dong Wenyong committed suicide, the grenadiers on the roofs on both sides retreated, and the crossbowmen took over their positions and fired fiercely at the remaining defeated soldiers. After a while, all the remaining soldiers were shot over.

There are 5000 troops in the headquarters, [-] troops in Fan Wenhu's troops, and a few hundred troops in charge. Only a few hundred people can escape death.

Poof~ Dong Wenbing spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the sky. Before he fell unconscious, he uttered two words: "Retreat."

5000 troops can still be recruited and trained, but my son and brother can't come back from the dead. It's really too hurt.

In the city, Liu Shiyong laughed loudly and patted Lin Jingxi on the shoulder, saying: "Deyang is a good strategist. If he kills thousands of his troops in one battle, Dong Wenbing will definitely vomit blood!"

Lin Jingxi smiled and said: "If you don't have His Majesty's magical weapon, how dare you take risks?"

"Your Majesty is entrusted with destiny, so he deserves a great victory," Liu Shiyong said with a smile that kept on saying, "Take the heads of the generals and send them back to the army, and the remaining heads will be piled up as a palace in the capital, and the corpses will be burned to fertilize the fields."
