Pirate Song

"Master! This thing is called a jackdaw arrow. I have read about this thing in a book. It can put dozens of ordinary arrows into a bucket bag at a time, and shoot out dozens of arrows at the same time each time. It's so powerful! Fangzi crossbows are usually equipped with this thing. When necessary, fix this quiver and you can use it!" Jia Qi, who had not participated in the test firing of Fangzi crossbow just now, suddenly said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Oh? That's it!" Gao Huaiyuan finally understood what this thing was, and he was overjoyed. As a result, the power of this thing is almost the same as that of later machine guns. It can sweep away a large area! What a good thing! It’s really good stuff!

As the war drums of the Jin Army resounded over Qifang Town again, the two Jin armies divided into east and west routes and pressed towards Qifang Town again, with the potential to crush Qifang Town in one fell swoop.

On a very cold day, a group of Jin soldiers took off their shirts and were busy preparing ropes, rocks and other materials, preparing to use the crude cannons they had just set up to hit the wall of Qifang Town.

Gao Huaiyuan and others had also been setting up a pergola and watching their actions carefully. They repeatedly adjusted the crossbows that had been installed and had already aimed at the Jin army's carts.

Because cart-throwing relies on human power and throws big rocks, the range is relatively short, and even strong crossbows can hit them. When the Jin Army built these cannons, they used strong crossbows to attack them. After some harassment, some Jin soldiers who were setting up the carts were shot to death, forcing the Jin soldiers to deploy a lot of soldiers for these carts. They held shields to protect the Jin soldiers who were operating the carts. At this time, they were in front of each cart. They all surrounded a group of golden soldiers holding shields, and surrounded the cart tightly.

As the war drums sounded, Gao Huaiyuan finally gave an order, and the operators of several crossbows suddenly knocked the mallets in their hands on the crossbow machine. After a violent rattling sound, several huge round hammers were heard. With a buzzing sound, the arrows flew out from the wall of the stronghold, heading straight for the Jin soldiers and driving away.

The giant arrows of the Fangzi Crossbow have no tail feathers and rely on the weight of the front arrow to remain stable, while the round hammer arrows rely on impact to kill the enemy or destroy enemy equipment. When they fell with the sound of wind, Jin was shocked. The soldiers were stunned. The shields were simply ignored under such a thing. They were useless. Some of the golden soldiers in front of the throwing carts were immediately hit by these round hammer arrows. The golden soldiers who were hit by the arrows flew upside down on the spot like short-term paper kites. He fell heavily to the ground, or directly hit one of those simple dump trucks. When he landed, his flesh and blood were already mutilated, and he was dead.

However, the round hammer arrows continued to move forward unabated, either hitting the throwing cart, or sweeping over after being unbalanced. Even if they were hit by the shafts of these giant arrows, no one could bear it. He was immediately kicked out after going to the toilet. Even if he didn't die, his muscles and bones would be broken, and he would be disabled for most of his life.

Such a blow immediately caused the Jin soldiers guarding the cart to panic. They never expected that the Song people in the town actually had such sharp defensive weapons. They were so frightened that they wanted to turn around and run away or hide, but they were immediately driven away by their officers. Come back.

At this time, Gao Huaiyuan ordered his crossbowmen to focus on these throwing carts for the time being. When the golden soldiers were in chaos and the shield wall collapsed, he gave the order and the crossbowmen shot their crossbow arrows at them. The crossbow arrows of these Jin soldiers who were throwing carts flew randomly, shooting many Jin soldiers around the carts.

"Hurry up and reload, keep aiming at them and shoot!" Gao Huaiyuan shouted to the villagers who were operating the crossbows.

Without his instructions, these people had already used all their strength to pull the windlass, creaked and cocked the crossbow again, placed the big arrows, and started aiming again.

At this time, although Jin Bing's side suffered a blow, there were still several throwing carts pulled by Jin Bing. With a buzzing sound, they threw stones towards the wall of Qifang Town. Boulders weighing tens of kilograms were thrown against the wall of Qifang Town. Under the strong pull of a golden soldier, the long arm of the thrown cart was given huge power, and a whistling sound was heard in the air, which gradually amplified in the eyes of everyone on the wall of the village.

There was a loud rumbling sound, and the people on the wall felt a tremor under their feet. The wall was still hit by the flying rocks of the Jin army. The big rocks immediately smashed deep holes into the rammed earth wall. There were two pieces of it. Because the cannon was inaccurate, the boulder flew over the village wall into the town and landed on a house. With a loud bang, the roof of the house collapsed. This shows that this kind of thing is really powerful.

The two armies immediately started fighting. A large number of golden soldiers rushed towards the gate of the town with wild shouts. A group of strong golden soldiers carried thick logs and ran towards the gate of the town with howls. People kept getting hit by the wall. The arrows shot from above hit the target, but these guys were strong and wearing heavy armor. Only a few of them were shot to the ground. Most of them continued to charge with the logs as if they were desperate even after being hit by the arrows.

At this time, a dump truck made a roar and was hit hard by a round hammer arrow. It was declared to fall apart with a roar on the spot, and its gun tip was just dragged by the golden soldiers and raised a small part, and the gun frame fell apart. , was unable to complete the shot. The boulder that was originally going to be shot at the wall suddenly lost its momentum and fell into the shield hands of the golden soldiers who were standing in front to protect the throwing cart. The two golden soldiers were smashed into pieces on the spot. Like mud.

This is not over yet. The long throwing pole was originally being dragged by a group of golden soldiers. After losing its focus, it tilted and swept out. The result was even more terrifying. This long throwing pole The throwing pole happened to sweep through the crowd of golden soldiers, and seven or eight golden soldiers were swept away at once. Now they were in chaos!

The power of the bed crossbow is indeed impressive and accurate. Every arrow that falls, even if it cannot hit the target, most of the arrows do not miss. Each arrow can kill several golden soldiers, and the golden soldiers wail incessantly. After a fierce battle between the two sides, the Jin Army's few cart-throwing vehicles ended their mission, and were destroyed by the giant arrows of the Fangzi Crossbow in the open space outside the town. The shields that suffered heavy casualties were The operators and operators immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, turned around and ran back to their formation.

As a result, General Jin Bing was stunned. He really couldn't understand that these Song people and Xiangyong seemed to have dug a hole for them. In the small Qifang Town, there was not even such a terrible bed. They were all equipped with crossbows. They didn't show their heads just now. Now when they saw their throwing carts coming out, they immediately threatened and destroyed their throwing carts one by one in front of the formation. Such an approach was simply shameless!

At this moment, he also forgot that he was the aggressor, yelled at the Song people for being shameless, and issued a death order to mobilize the army to attack Qifang Town. He no longer regarded the other party as a group of rabble, but was determined to attack Qifang Town. Here we can compete with the Song people in this town.

Shortly after Gao Huaiyuan's west gate destroyed the Jin Army's throwing carts, Fei Wenlong at the east gate also commanded the bed crossbow at the east gate to kill several throwing carts on the east side of the Jin Army. The Jin Army immediately lost its heavy

Fire support, the Jin troops attacking from both sides were exposed to the firepower of the village wall.

After getting rid of the biggest threat of throwing carts, the town was able to save the originally poor village wall, so the morale of the village warriors who defended it was immediately boosted, and they began to stand on the wall while shouting wildly.

A fierce battle broke out with the Jin army. Various bows and crossbows fired alternately, scattering arrows into the attacking Jin army. The archers of the Jin army also immediately changed their colors. People on both sides were constantly shot to the ground.

, there were a number of victims of this war.

It can be said that the advantage at this time is firmly in the hands of the Song army in the town. They are now fierce in firepower. After the bed crossbow is freed, it immediately switches to using flat shovel arrows and shoots towards the Jin army's attacking queue. This

Planting something is really powerful. Every time he shoots, it will set off a bloody storm in the crowd of Jin soldiers. The huge flat shovel-shaped arrow rushes into the crowd of Jin soldiers with great force. There is no reason for the winner to be spared. Many Jin soldiers only need to

Being hit by an arrow was like being struck by a giant axe. He was dismembered on the spot, with blood and flesh flying everywhere in a horrific manner.

In front of this kind of thing, human power seems so insignificant. No matter who you are, in front of the giant arrow, everyone is equal. Regardless of whether you are an official or not, if you are hit by it, you will die.

A golden soldier was lying on the ground holding his severed thigh and screaming wildly. Blood spurted out from his broken leg like a fountain, but no one had time to save him. A large number of golden soldiers were urged by the war drums.

In the middle, against the fierce rain of arrows on the wall of the stronghold, they swarmed past him. This golden soldier was wailing without a master. His face gradually began to turn pale, and his screams gradually became weaker. There was no one to help him.

After being severely injured, he could only watch helplessly as his blood drained from the wound, and finally lost his voice completely. After twitching for a few times, he passed away and turned into a wisp of wronged soul floating away.

Scenes like this were repeated on the way of the Jin soldiers' attacks. Every time a giant arrow fell, an open space would appear in the crowd of Jin soldiers, and then people would soon gather together again.

The battle at the east city gate was easier to say. After all, the Jin army was attacking from above, and because they faced the west and were disturbed by the sunlight, they could not effectively and accurately aim at the defenders on the wall, so the east side attacked.

The casualties of the defenders near the gate were not very large, and the pressure they received was relatively small.

But the situation at the west gate is different. This time the Jin Army placed the main target of their attack here, and due to the sun, it was very difficult for the crossbowmen on the wall to aim accurately, so they could only use diffusion.

method to intercept the Jin Army, but the Jin Army could shoot the defenders standing on the wall more accurately. In this way, the defending side suffered serious casualties.

We have to admit the vision of the Jin Army General. He made the most of the natural advantages and created a lot of trouble for people like Gao Huaiyuan. Especially the time they chose was when the sun was setting in the west, which was dazzling.

The sunlight makes it difficult for people to open their eyes, making the counterattack here very difficult.

Xiangyong is Xiangyong after all, especially since most of them are new soldiers. They are a little panicked when they encounter such a situation. If it were not for the encouragement of their officers, they would probably collapse as soon as there are casualties.

But when more and more people among them were injured or killed, serious commotion still occurred. Many people were afraid and lay down under the parapet without daring to show their heads. No matter how the officers around them shouted threats, they did not dare to stand up.

Some people screamed and tried to escape down the wall and hide in the town. This immediately made their counterattack much weaker.

In desperation, Gao Huaiyuan once again used thunderous tactics. He raised his hand and fired several arrows, killing several local heroes who tried to escape down the wall. Their bodies fell down the wall with a thud.

"Anyone who dares to run away is like these people. Since they are afraid of death, they should die first! Stand up for me. If anyone dares to fight like a tiger again, they will be your fate! Stand up!" Gao Huaiyuan

shouted sharply.

At the same time, he swept the strong bow in his hand over the country warriors who were lying under the parapet and did not dare to show their heads. The country warriors had frightened eyes, and they picked up the crossbows helplessly and tremblingly again, risking their money.

The soldier's arrow shot downward again.

As a last resort, Gao Huaiyuan re-deployed twenty tough soldiers and gave them to Jia Qi to lead them. They patrolled the wall and ordered him to execute on the spot those cowards who were afraid of fighting and dared not show their heads, and punished them severely.

There were also brave men below. Seeing that they could not escape, this finally aroused the bloodiness of some people. They howled to embolden themselves, squinting their eyes and shooting at the golden soldiers below like crazy.

In this way, the commotion was finally suppressed and the defense line was stabilized again. Gao Huaiyuan secretly wiped his sweat and thought that he was lucky to have withdrawn in time. If they encountered the Jin Army outside the town, they and the others would

Maybe the birds and beasts will scatter immediately and be killed by the Jin Army!

Although the Jin army paid a heavy price, they finally reached the city gate. The team of Jin soldiers carrying logs also rushed to the city gate under the cover of other Jin troops.

Once they reached the bottom of the village wall, they were in the middle of the hunting and killing angle of bows and crossbows. They thought they could feel a little more at ease, but then came the spears that were like splashing water, flying from the wall.

After landing, the poor golden soldiers were killed by the hail of spears before they had time to rejoice, and the wailing sound filled people's eardrums.

However, the Jin soldiers were also panicked at this time. Behind them were the general's orders, and the sound of war drums urging them to attack became louder and louder. If they ran back at this time, they would probably be stabbed in the head, so they could only continue to attack.

The golden soldiers who were carrying the log used as the battering ram were constantly being killed by the throwing spears, but others were driven over to take over their positions, carrying the log and slamming into the west gate of Qifang Town.

Every impact made the people above feel frightened.

Fortunately, Gao Huaiyuan had the foresight to ask Fatty Zhou to block a lot of earth and rocks inside the door. Otherwise, such a thin door might have been knocked open by a few hard blows from the Jin soldiers. Even so, the door

It was soon cracked by the impact, making an unpleasant squeaking sound.

"Here comes the hot oil!" Several soldiers ran up quickly carrying several wooden barrels from under the wall. Each barrel was filled with hot oil. The hot oil splashed out and fell on their hands.

They screamed when it was immediately burned, but they didn't care about the pain at this moment.

The golden soldiers below who were banging against the door kept retreating with their shields on their backs, and then rushed forward. Some people were shouting slogans for them as if they were desperate, encouraging them to continue to hit the door. No one looked up at the people on the gate tower.

What are they doing? Because as soon as they look up, they will be hit by an arrow. No one wants to watch themselves being shot to death.

The dense shields blocked the arrows shot from above, and even the shuttle guns could no longer play a very good killing role. The guarding soldiers could only lift rocks and throw them downwards, but because of the number of golden soldiers carrying logs,

There were so many people, but they couldn't stop them from continuing to knock on the door. At this time, the situation became extremely critical.

After seeing the hot oil being brought up, Gao Huaiyuan was immediately overjoyed and shouted to some soldiers above the doorway: "Get out of my way! Pour down the boiling oil!"

So several soldiers carrying wooden barrels immediately responded and poured the boiling oil in the barrels below. Suddenly, a scream was heard from below the city gate. The shields of the golden soldiers could protect against arrows and spears, but they did not block the spears.

Unable to stop the boiling oil flowing everywhere, many Jin soldiers were covered in boiling oil and were so burned that they covered their faces and screamed, throwing away the logs and bumping into each other.

At this time, some soldiers were unwilling to give up. They grabbed the torch that had been prepared and threw it down. When the hot oil met the sparks, it could only burst into flames, and the doorway immediately became a sea of ​​​​fire, with logs and

A large number of golden soldiers were immediately ignited, and each golden soldier screamed like a turkey and rushed out of the door, rolling everywhere.

The logs that had no man to carry them were thrown at the city gate with a roar. The fire licked the surrounding golden soldiers like poisonous tongues, immediately interrupting their attack on the city gate.

Seeing that the attack on the gate failed, the deputy general of the Jin army in charge of the attack here gritted his teeth and issued an order to attack the wall. So ladders as high as two people high were made and sent to the bottom of the wall by the Jin soldiers.

Gao Huaiyuan knew that the most tragic moment of this battle was probably coming, so he shouted loudly to the people who were resisting the Jin soldiers: "Hold them off. If they attack, no one will survive! Take it."

Come on, Tiecha! Don't let them put the ladder up on the wall! Give me a good beating!"

So someone immediately sent a prepared iron fork. When the Jin soldiers put the ladder up on the wall, they used the fork to hold the ladder hard, pushed the ladder away from the wall, and overturned it outside the wall.

Looking at the Jin soldiers swarming like ants under the wall, many people were really scared at this moment, but they all knew that once the Jin soldiers broke through the town, they would all be doomed, so even if they were afraid,

No one dared to dodge anymore, and frantically launched the most violent counterattack against the golden soldiers below.

These village warriors were also crazy. As long as they caught something, they would throw it under the wall of the village. In a moment, spears, rolling logs, and rocks rained down like raindrops... dd
