Changyan City.
The iron cavalry in Mobei stretches for dozens of miles, and the sound of horses neighs endlessly. As far as the eye can see, it is endless, with camps covering fields and hills, and the wind blows in the face, mixed with the smell of horse manure.
"Shuai Yue, it's time to start."
"Um!"
Yue Fei's face was somewhat calm, and he asked in a deep voice: "Is there any news about General Lan Yu and the others?"
"Commander, the people in Beifeng City have now been rescued."
"General Pang Rong set up an ambush on the road to Beifeng City and annihilated more than 7,000 Mobei cavalry. He is now outflanking."
"Um!"
"Pass my order to set up the crossbows and catapults. It won't be long before Mobei attacks the city."
"promise!"
With an order, the soldiers pushed the crossbows that had been prepared up to the city tower, and the catapults also formed a formation behind the city wall.
The sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, and an iron cavalry was seen rushing in from the flank of Mobei and attacking the Mobei camp. Yue Fei's eyes narrowed and he whispered: "It's Lan Yu and the others who are back."
"General Lan is a bit reckless. Now Mobei is watching covetously outside the city. If they are caught by Mobei..."
"It doesn't matter!"
Yue Fei's face was also filled with a touch of confidence, and he said with a smile: "Send the order, carry the Wei army on your back and charge into the formation from the front, and escort Lan Yu and the others back to the city."
"As you command!"
With an order, the gate of Changyan City was opened on its own initiative, and a group of armored cavalry rushed out from under the gate. Now the camp in Mobei is not stable, and the entire camp is preparing for war and sorting out supplies. No one expected that , Dayu actually dared to send cavalry out of the city to harass!
In the handsome tent.
Tie Xuanzhen sat in the commanding position, looking at the generals below who were lecturing.
"At any cost, capture Changyan within two days!"
"Even if it costs you your life, you must break open the city gate of Changyan for me!"
"promise!"
"Report——"
"Commander, there is a Dayu cavalry attacking the camp from my left wing."
"What!"
Tie Xuanzhen stood up suddenly and walked out of the big tent. Hearing the shouts of killing coming from the distance, a coldness appeared in his eyes and he said lightly: "Pass my order, the front army attacks the city, and the Chinese army encircles and suppresses this place." A cavalry!"
"Now that you're out, there's no need to go back."
"I want to see if Dayu's cavalry is really invulnerable!"
"promise!"
Tie Xuanzhen gave an order, and more than a dozen generals in the commander's tent immediately walked out of the tent and headed towards their respective troops. A moment later, another figure quickly ran over: "Commander, another one has been killed in Changyan City. A group of iron cavalry are coming towards my camp from the front."
"Report, Commander, the cavalry on the left wing is attacking our rear in a roundabout way."
"Report, Commander, the cavalry in the front suddenly split up and charged towards the two wings of my camp!"
One after another scouts came quickly to report, and Tie Xuanzhen's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He had many soldiers and horses under his command, several times that of Dayu. But similarly, the camp stretched for more than ten miles, so it would take a certain amount of time to convey the order.
If Dayu's cavalry keeps harassing him like this, it will be difficult for him to form an effective defense in a short period of time!
"Send my order and the entire army attacks the city!"
"They came out just in time. Now the city of Changyan must be empty."
"As long as we capture the city tower in one fell swoop and let them cause chaos, it will be worth it for me to sacrifice a hundred thousand soldiers and horses in exchange for a long Yancheng."
"promise!"
The dull sound of war drums sounded in front of the camp, and groups of Mobei cavalry rushed out of the camp and rushed directly towards the city tower.
There was also a look of surprise on Yue Fei's face. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He looked at the flag officer on the side and said lightly: "Send the order, Lan Yufang will circle back from the right wing."
"Carry the Wei army on your back and attack the commander's tent in Mobei!"
"promise!"
The flag officer immediately raised the three-color battle flag. First, the yellow battle flag swayed to the right, and then the blue battle flag pointed straight to the center. The cavalry below began to change formations again. It was obviously only 30,000 cavalry, but hundreds of thousands of Mobei's cavalry were moved. The cavalry stirred up the chaos.
"Commander, Mobei has begun to attack the city."
"It doesn't matter!"
Yue Fei watched the ladders coming up one after another, and felt relieved in his heart. Mobei had never been good at attacking fortresses, and the siege equipment was also very crude.
Now, trying to capture Changyan City with only a ladder is tantamount to wishful thinking.
"Bed crossbow, release!"
"Let them gain some knowledge first."
"promise!"
The adjutant immediately gave the order. On the tower, a row of bed crossbows were pushed forward. Crossbow arrows as thick as forearms were placed on the grooves of the bed crossbows. After the tendons were pulled apart, the rollers slowly rotated.
"boom!"
Accompanied by a crash, hundreds of giant crossbows crossed the sky, making a sound of piercing the air, and flew towards the dark crowd below.
"ah!"
"Be careful with crossbow bolts!"
"Raise your shield!"
The expressions of the Mobei generals below all changed slightly, and they quickly ordered their soldiers to raise their shields to resist.
But the power of Dayu's crossbow could even penetrate the wall, so how could a small shield be able to withstand it? The giant crossbow hit the wooden shield violently, directly smashing the shield into pieces, and with it the bodies of the Mobei soldiers behind him. It was torn apart immediately, with flesh and blood flying everywhere!
"Giant crossbow!"
"It's not an ordinary crossbow. Quick, rush forward and set up the ladder!"
"As long as we charge up to the city tower, the two-legged sheep in the city will be slaughtered by us, sons and daughters, charge forward!"
A general raised his spear, raised his foot and sped up, charging at the front of the battlefield. Three giant crossbows were aimed at the general. With a roar, an arm flew out suddenly, and his body was nailed to death. Under the tower.
"Catapult, release!"
Watching Mobei's army step into the range of the catapults, the catapult phalanx under the city wall immediately began to output full firepower. The boulders formed a perfect parabola, passed over the city tower, and landed on the black crowd!
Before anyone could react, hundreds of Mobei soldiers were smashed to pieces by this wave of boulders.
"Damn it!"
"This is Dayu's catapult!"
"Brothers, charge to the tower. These crossbows and catapults belong to us. Charge!"
"Archers, aim at the tower and fight back!"
The Mobei general who was responsible for commanding on the front line gave the order again. A team of Mobei crossbowmen armed with strong bows squatted half-way under the tower, aimed at the figures on the tower, and began to throw arrows.
Yue Fei's face was calm and calm, he let the shouts of killing below shook the sky, arrows flew from the sky, his eyes were calm, and he said calmly: "Zhuge Liannu, let go!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
In an instant, a group of soldiers from the crossbow team stood up from under the city wall, raised their crossbows, pointed at the crossbow team below and started shooting.
The strength of Zhuge Liannu lies in its fast rate of fire, but its shortcomings are also very obvious, namely poor accuracy and short range. Even after Ning Fan's improvements, it cannot compare with the marksman in terms of accuracy.
However, facing the overwhelming black wave of siege, it is undoubtedly a first-rate killer weapon.
