Chapter 626: The Modified Crossbow
Chapter 626
"They want to see it, so let them see it. Haha, my 50,000 army in Daxia is strictly guarding a small ancient city of Wuyan. Even if the Song army finds out what our troops can do, do they really dare to launch troops to attack the city?"
"That's true. I really hope these Song soldiers come and die."
"All the generals, Wei Ming Generals in the south of the city discovered that the camping camp was not the Song army, but the rebel Liang Yibi."
"What?" The group of generals all bulged their eyes, looked at each other in disbelief, and then quickly walked along the city wall towards the south of the city.
Soon, they arrived at the south of the city and saw the high-flying Song flag, a familiar banner with the character Liang was erected next to it. A group of people looked like pyrhombus and were in a very unbeautiful mood.
"The bastard, not only does he surrender to the enemy, but he still has the face to come... It's so annoying." Fei Tingdarong's face turned blue and slapped the city wall and roared.
"Sir, should you not lead a genius out of the city? Such a dog thief cannot make him so arrogant and domineering."
"Bastard, this is clearly the trick of the Song Dynasty, which is to provoke us. If we really send troops out of the city, it is very likely that not only those rebels, but also the ambush of the Song army." Sa Chen wanted to pick up a big stick and knock it on the head of such a fool.
"Let Liang Yibi continue to be arrogant and proud. One day, Sa will use his dog head to pay tribute to the late emperors of Daxia."
"Well, it's probably the trick of those Song people. You must not be easily lured out of the city. Those who violate the order should be killed!" Fei Tingdarong nodded deeply and ordered.
After a while, most of the Xixia generals who felt that there would be no major problems left the city. Only the generals responsible for guarding the city wall stayed and continued to monitor the Song army's every move.
"I didn't expect that these Xixia thieves were so cunning. Seeing such a big bait, they were not moved at all." Zhe Keshi put away the telescope with regretful expression and said with emotion.
Behind him were thousands of elite cavalry wearing Yuanyou armor, and three thousand Iron Harriers heavy cavalry. However, when there was no war situation, the Iron Harriers were wearing heavy armor and sat cross-legged on the ground.
The heavy-armed cavalry are all three riders. When they move, they ride one horse with each other. The mount that really wants to go to the battlefield is only carrying a vest. In this way, the war horse can have enough physical strength to maintain its impact when going to the battlefield.
In order to lure the enemy, Liang Yibi's surrendered soldiers were placed under the city, and ten thousand elite cavalry were ready to go. As a result, the Xixia people were so cowardly that they didn't even have the courage to go out of the city to get a fight. This was equivalent to letting Zhe Keshi lurk for so long.
"General, then should we continue to lurk here?" the general beside him also asked helplessly.
"Well, that's natural, just keep lurking. There will always be times when we can seize the opportunity. If they don't leave the city, then we will continue to squat here. Perhaps after Lord Xiao Wang's gunpowder weapon is shot into the city, those Xixia thieves will sooner or later. Believe me..."
Zhe Keshi spit out the stem of the grass biting in his mouth and handed the telescope in his hand to his personal soldiers. "Superbate me honestly. If there is any abnormal movement, come and report it to me quickly. Well, tell the iron kites and let them unarm it. It seems that there is no chance today."
At this moment, Wang Yang was squatting in the camp in the east, watching the young and strong men who followed the army dig the soil there, and then gathered it together to work hard to create a slope platform with a width of ten feet and a height of four feet.
"It's a pity that there are only two bed crossbows. If you can get a few more, I believe the damage caused to the Xixia army in the city will be even more exciting." Wang Yang stood there and said with great emotion.
"There is no way. This crossbow is too heavy, and it is difficult to make and transport is inconvenient. So I only brought two pieces this time, and there are also catapults. However, with the range of the catapult, I am afraid that at most I can only throw them outside the city, which is still a distance away from the city wall."
"It's okay, two parts are just two. After Wang's test, such a bed crossbow can throw more than 100 kilograms of heavy objects one mile at a time. It's enough. Throwing more than 200 gunpowder arrows at one time will only bring one pot of those guys."
"In addition, after the slope is built and there is a certain parabola, Wang believes that the range of the bed crossbow can be increased by one or two hundred steps. In this way, the city center of the ancient Wuyan City has also entered our attack range."
Listening to Wang Yang's description, the border generals beside him felt so sour and refreshing when they thought of the enemy troops far away from the range throwing a large number of wooden items into his city.
Fortunately, this guy belongs to our Song Dynasty. Otherwise, if such a talented man fell into the hands of the Northern Liao or Western Xia, then most of the unlucky ones would become the Song Dynasty?
With the hard work of hundreds of young and strong men, they quickly dug out enough soil to build a slope platform. The excavated places formed a trench with a width of about two meters, a depth of one meters, and a length of two hundred steps, right in front of the platform.
Even if the people of Xixia find out that something is wrong and want to use the speed of the cavalry to raid and destroy the crossbow, they have to first consider whether they can cross the trench and try to defeat the 10,000 elite boys of the Song Dynasty who guarded the two crossbows.
Seeing the young and strong men standing on the slope, shouting horns, and pounding the slope that was nearly completed, Wang Yang set his eyes on the two most sophisticated long-range weapons of the Song Dynasty: the bed crossbow.
The bed crossbow, also known as the bed crossbow, was developed on the basis of the winch crossbow in the Tang Dynasty. It combines two or three bows together to greatly strengthen the tension and strength of the crossbow. When opening the crossbow, it uses a thick rope to connect the crossbow string to the winch. The soldiers turn the winch, open the crossbow strings, and install giant arrows. When radiating, the soldiers must use a sledgehammer to hit the trigger, and the machine fires the strings and shoot the arrows into the distance.
